“Dick Grayson’s concept design for Damian’s Robin uniform.”

From Batman Files.

DICK DESIGNED DAMIAN’S UNIFORM, GUYS. WITH NO DISCO COLLARS. OR FEATHERS. 

So he isn’t totally helpless when it comes to fashion. :’D

I really hope that the Lazarus Tournament in Robin (2021) is gonna be extra af with a red carpet before the event, interviews with participants, a sassy commentator, a screaming audience and a cute mascot.

The Three Laws of Fandom

If you wish to take part in any fandom, you need to accept and respect these three laws.

If you aren’t able to do that, then you need to realise that your actions are making fandom unsafe for creators. That you are stifling creativity.

Like vaccination, fandom only works if everyone respects these rules. Creators need to be free to make their fanart, fanfics and all other content without fear of being harassed or concern-trolled for their creative choices, no matter whether you happen to like that content or not.

The First Law of Fandom

Don’t Like; Don’t Read (DL;DR)

It is up to you what you see online. It is not anyone else’s place to tell you what you should or should not consume in terms of content; it is not up to anyone else to police the internet so that you do not see things you do not like. At the same time, it is not up to YOU to police fandom to protect yourself or anyone else, real or hypothetical.

There are tools out there to help protect you if you have triggers or squicks. Learn to use them, and to take care of your own mental health. If you are consuming fan-made content and you find that you are disliking it - STOP.

The Second Law of Fandom

Your Kink Is Not My Kink (YKINMK)

Simply put, this means that everyone likes different things. It’s not up to you to determine what creators are allowed to create. It’s not up to you to police fandom. 

If you don’t like something, you can post meta about it or create contrarian content yourself, seek to convert other fans to your way of thinking.  

But you have no right to say to any creator “I do not like this, therefore you should not create it. Nobody should like this. It should not exist.”

It’s not up to you to decide what other people are allowed to like or not like, to create or not to create. That’s censorship. Don’t do it.

The Third Law of Fandom

Ship And Let Ship (SALS)

Much (though not all) fandom is about shipping. There are as many possible ships as there are fans, maybe more. You may have an OTP (One True Pairing), you may have a NOTP, that pairing that makes you want to barf at the very thought of its existence.

It’s not up to you to police ships or to determine what other people are allowed to ship. Just because you find that one particular ship problematic or disgusting, does not mean that other people are not allowed to explore its possibilities in their fanworks.

You are free to create contrarian content, to write meta about why a particular ship is repulsive, to discuss it endlessly on your private blog with like-minded persons.

It is not appropriate to harass creators about their ships, it is not appropriate to demand they do not create any more fanworks about those ships, or that they create fanwork only in a manner that you deem appropriate.

These three laws add up to the following:

You are not paying for fanworks content, and you have no rights to it other than to choose to consume it, or not consume it. If you do choose to consume it, do not then attack the creator if it wasn’t to your taste. That’s the height of bad manners.

Be courteous in fandom. It makes the whole experience better for all of us.

I made a Batfamily-centric DC timeline that covers Pre-52, New-52, and Rebirth content in one slideshow, so here it is! Feel free to use this as a resource for fanfic/fanart references, sources for comic issues, or if you just want to read me narrating the DC universe with way too many puns and memes

In summary, this is a list of stories by POC who have learned to love themselves and their backgrounds.

College AU

Summary: Jason goes to visit his boyfrind college

Jason walked to the library, taping his hand on his leg, feeling too conscious about being in a college library, technically was legal to be there, nobody was going to yell at him or throw him outside, but the people was staring at him.

“Hey, Superman” Piper, his best friend, was near the door, her eyes shining, a smile full of mockery on his lips “You should change your clothes”

“I just wanted to see both of you”

Piper grabbed the sleeve of the jacket, jugging the military uniform that Jason was wearing.

“Leo will be on the labs, I know you to want to be reunite”

“I missed you”

The sarcastic laugh of Piper made him smile, it was true that he wanted to see Leo more than anything, but she was his best friend and he missed her a lot.

“The roommate of Leo is out, family time, his bedroom is available for both of you”

Blushing, Jason followed Piper, the girl searching for a book, while they talked about their lives, six months without seeing each other, the boy talking about the program to become a pilot, the classes and the comareads, Piper talking about the college, the students, her roomate, and the professors.

When they got out, someone crash on Jason’s arms, starting to kissing him, leaving soft kisses on his cheeks, forehead and lips.

“You two are making a show”

“Shut up Piper, my boyfriend is here, I don’t care about other people”

“Hi, sweety” said Jason holding the waist of Leo, the boy hugging Jason with his legs, holding to his boyfriend like a koala.

“Go to your room to fight with Drew”

Piper yelled something, about bad friends that prefered to make out than being with her.

“I missed you so hard”

Leo kissed him, tightening the grip of his legs, his hands caressing the hair of Jason.

“I missed you too”
