“I’ve Got You” - For Whumptober

Some Charlie blushes~

Du'met but I drew him in the AFK Arena art style

scruffed

one of my favorite panels of Dick is when he's wearing a leather jacket over a torn up Discowing costume and now that I've been reading the Titans comics for a while, I finally have context for it:

The New Titans (1988) #86

my man's had his team anniversary party crashed and most of his friends kidnapped and injured while one friend gets possessed and tries to destroy them all only to get murdered by his own father, who Dick then has to fight in the above panels. a couple other's are presumed dead as well. Titans Tower gets destroyed so he's basically homeless except for his shitty apartment. he's having relationship problems because his girlfriend feels like he's smothering her. oh and his brother died not too long ago (in comic time. in real time it's been a few years). also some Time Travel Shenanigans are going on in a weird B plot that's probably going to turn into an A plot soon. he's really going through it

Well guys, it started as a joke but it’s getting to the point where I had to point out my observations. So here’s what I believe to be the first ever Du’Mark post (I’m so sorry)

A bit of backstory: This entire concept started when my best friend and I were talking about Du’lie, and we noticed that Mark seems to be the only character never shipped with Du’met in any way. Du’Mark became an inside joke between us as we played and we gradually started to realise that it’s actually got some potential. We usually don’t invest in these types of ships but the observations were clear to see. Let me run through our points.

The main points:

-The entire Ultimatum situation. Du’met specifically selected Mark as the one he was going to use in the end. Much like I’ve seen fanfictions about Charlie actually being complicit in Du’met’s murders, we couldn’t help but pick up on the fact that Mark canonically can aid Du’met in a similar way, if mostly against his will.

-The fact that Mark is the only one who sees Du’met’s face. The entire boat fight could be used in these types of observations tbh. The way it’s set so that the fight will always mostly be Mark vs Du’met, the way Du’met seems fixated on him for most of the fight and the way he stands over him can all be read that certain way. 

And a few smaller ones that can be shippy if you read it that way:

-The cage that Mark was supposed to end up in had chains… there’s potential there.

-Du’met will take and wear Mark’s clothing when tricking Kate. 

-Ties him up to a pole. Fun.

-In the grinder scene, he keeps a picture of Mark and Kate. I’m sure something can be said about that.

-They have that whole fight in the lighthouse where Mark can be choked by Du’met.

-When Du’met is chloroforming Mark, the stances in those scenes can be read in a certain way… 

-And I’m sure there’s others I’ve forgotten, just give me time

Look, all I’m saying is these are things to consider. I don’t ship it myself but all I’m saying is… if I’ve seen him shipped with literally everyone else, I’ve gotta say there’s stuff there for Mark too. Felt a bit out of character writing this but it is what it is. I believe this makes me and my bestie the only???? People to pick up on these things? As Mark’s no.1 fan😍 I make observations about him and sometimes they involve Du’met. Anyway safe to say I can’t act superior to the Du’lie stans anymore. My bad y’all. We’re all a bit odd in this fandom but that’s the beauty of it. I take back everything I said, I think.

Axe him a question...

What if Charlie hadn't pushed Hector in the lighthouse but hugged him out of panic.

Uh oh mistakes were made. But it's Charlie so that's always. X'DD

Aaaa I’m so glad you opened a shop! I can’t wait to get a tiny Charlie and Du’Met in the mail ❤️❤️

Erin and Jamie are so cute too, I wish I could get the whole crew!

SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT!

Having finally (somewhat) defeated the anxiety of making sure everything is set, I'm happy to say that I've officially opened an Etsy shop!

Etsy here ---> TIME TO SHOP

Currently there's charms of The Devil in Me and The Quarry's Prologue trio.

This is my first time with an online shop and I wanted to ease in with limited listings, so I apologise if it looks amateurish / descriptions are simple. I hope to improve as I learn how to handle it - do hope to make so much more merch too. I know folks have been waiting long, thank you kindly for your patience! ;_;

If someone had told me last winter that I would be so addicted on these two...

...I wouldn't have believed him!!!!!

in the result, I love their interactions and relationships so much ╮⁠(⁠＾⁠▽⁠＾⁠)⁠╭
