Bane, why are you naked and kneeling on top of the alternate version of Bruce's dad while you say both Batmans are yours?? that's suspicious
Comics: Mikey has a C.T.S. (AU?)
.
This is a true story based on my real life.
I was diagnosed with this condition a month ago, and I decided that since Mikey is an artist, he will have the same thing as me.🙃
I decided to do everything in the form of a comics and everything that will be described in it and everything that Mikey will experience is 100% true.
I do not know how soon I will update the comic, because I cannot even bend my fingers, I am silent about cooking / drawing / holding anything.
The doctor forbade me, but I do...
It happens. 🙃👍
I've attached a video of myself drawing with a bandage. The video shows Mikey in the last fragment. I hope you get a little pleasure from his funny faces and my attempts to draw them.

(I want to say that I adore everyone! Thank you all so much for your kind words and time spent! I am always glad to see you! 💕
Have a good morning/afternoon/evening!)
(My God...My arm is going to fall off..)

Reporter: “Mr. Wayne — our readers are dying to know: What’s the secret to your youthful appearance?”
Bruce Wayne, proud owner of five reconstructive jaw surgeries, three separate sets of veneers, a handful of nose jobs, and whose skin only sees direct sunlight through the Watchtower portholes on odd Tuesdays: “Botox and medical grade skincare.”
Damian: I don't want to be Robin forever, I don't want to move into other names and roles either! I... I want to be a doctor... like grandfather.
Alfred: *beaming with pride* Oh that's excelent, Master Damian! I'm so glad to see someone in this family actually following late Master Wayne legacy. Thomas would be so proud.
Bruce: *discretly tearing up* Yeah, that's... that's... great, just great, chum. I'm very very proud.
Damian, who is inspired by Thomas but at the moment was actually refering to Ra's: Yes, reading and just hearing all those stories about granfather Thomas made me admire him a lot.
Damian who still feels like he can't talk about the other side of his family. Who still feels like talking about happy moments or how despite everything his mother and grandfather loved him and did their best to make him happy or about the things he still admires about them will take away his place at the Waynes, will grant him eyes full of either pity or fearfull concern. Damian who knows his grandfather is evil and his mother is complicated, who choose a different path and who is starting to understand that being pushed to the path Talia and Ra's wanted was bad for him and unhealthy, that kids shouldn't be assassins (but should kids be Robins?). Damian who himself still has hatred and anger for Ra's but also who still has love and admiration. He got his love for animals from them, Ra's love for life. Damian who fundamentally still wants to be a Wayne very much but wishes being a Wayne didn't meant he had to give up on being an Al Ghul. Who wishes he could talk about them. Damian who admires Thomas Wayne and all the stories he heard about him but who was raised by the Al Ghuls, who heard about a santifield version of a healer grandfather and saw a demonized version of one. It was Ra's who bandaged him and Talia. Damian who is doing it for the Waynes. For these people he never got to met and wishes so much he had. Damian who is doing it for the Al Ghuls. For a mother who started wanting to be a doctor before wanting to run away and violence and cooportativism took it out of her, for a grandfather who is far from perfect but who always helps his own people.
Who wanted to be safe to talk about his first home with the people he loves the most. Who is terrifield that being inspired by Ra's will meant he doesn't belong with them.
Damian who didn't even lied. Who got the hugs and support. Damian who does not know why he is upset.
In my mind Bruce was a low 21 when he adopted Dick. And Dick was 9. Bruce was a freaking teendad in my opinion,
The man had no idea what he was doing, how he was gonna do it, but he knew he had to take care of this kid because he knew he'd be in worse places otherwise.
Bruce did his best.
He did his freaking best even though he had no idea what he was doing. He lost his own parents so young that he knew he couldn't copy everything.
Even with Jason, Cass, he was still learning the ropes and was scared of screwing up. With, Tim, Steph, Duke, and Damian he had a bit more experience and was a bit more confident but he still doubted himself, so, so much.
Bruce did screw up sometimes. And he mentally beat himself up over it so many times. So, so many times. Tore out his hair. punched and punched and punched. Had countless sleepless nights, even after he's forgiven because deep down he'll never forgive himself.
Bruce wasn't an A+ parent as far as he saw it and he was so focused on the times he screwed up he forgot how he did better than some of the kids' bio parents.
Better than Willis Todd. Better than Arthur Brown. Better than David Cain. Better than the Drakes'.
Bruce gave up a lot for the kids whether he knows it or not.
And he was a freaking teendad.
It takes a while for the kids to realize this. Dick is the first, through small things until one day he's thinking and it hits him.
Jason is arguing with Bruce one day and sees the look in his dad's eyes. The guilt. At first he's glad to know that Bruce does regret the events in Ethiopia. Then he sees Bruce later, sitting with his head in his hands. And starts thinking. Notices the bruises across Bruce's knuckles and the battered punching bag he saw earlier.
Babs always knew. As does Cass.
Tim and Steph realize gradually over time and so does Duke. Damian gets it explained to him by Dick and Jason once he's older.
They let the man know that they're not mad (anymore, for some of them).
Because deep down, they know Bruce did his best even when he had no idea what he was doing.
One time with the Outlaws, Red Hood is helping with a hostage situation and as he helps a young man out of a holding cell, he goes 'geez how old are ya, kid?' and gets a weak '21' in reply.
At first Jason doesn't think much of it, other than how young the guy seems. More teen than adult.
Then he realizes as they finish the mission and spends ten minutes staring into the aether.
'Wasn't Dad 21 when he took Dick in?'
Why would you kill him like this…
It's so nice being on tumblr because you don't even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you're good at rebloging posts they like
I'm saying this assertively, but if it sounds "aggressive", I suppose it's just going to have to sound that way.
"Creating Black Characters". It will center Blackness. Period. Physically, historically, politically, emotionally, creatively, symbolically, celebration-ally. This page centers the Black perspective and experience!
I should not- for this has happened multiple times in my life this week- have to enter my own conversation about our experience in this world as a caveat, as a partial mention, a "small piece" of a "larger whole to consider". I shouldn't have to cushion it; I shouldn't have to center someone's feelings to make the often hard truth about said experience (and perhaps their own interaction with it!) "acceptable" to hear. I'm already quite gracious as is, by telling you at all.
If you cannot listen to and learn about Blackness, in a space about Blackness, from a Black person, without feeling offended, that is a likely problem with your perspective, not my delivery.
Don't get me wrong- I am capable of being incorrect and misspeaking. I too work everyday to do better. But sometimes, when I don't talk about other things, it's because that's not what I'm talking about. It's not going to be about everyone else. Sometimes-
