I Think A Lot Of Modern Sherlock Holmes Adaptations (as In, Holmes In The Modern Era) Miss Out By Having

The urge to adopt several pets and name them after the Batfamily pets (specifically the animals that are the same like the comics, creating the characters in real life) is so strong.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll ever find a dragon bat to call him Goliath :(

I want Goliath so bad.

Also forget naming your human kids after characters, I plan to name my pets after fictional characters.

i am so fucking depressed this show was cancelled can we pls get it back before i lose it omg

WTF.

WTF WTF WTF.

THIS SHOW CANNOT BE CANCELLED.

IT HAS BECOME MY LIFE THIS LAST FEW MONTHS.

NETFLIX I SM GOING TO CHOP OFF SOME HEADS.

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF?????????

BUT THE SIGNS.

THERE WERE SO MANY SIGNS.

WHAT???????

I know most of the DBDA fandom probably thinks at paineland at the trope of "x fell first, xx fell harder" is Edwin falling first and Charles now falling harder; because Edwin was obviously shown first to express his feelings.

But consider this-

Charles falling in love with Edwin slowly a little more every day, falling a bit deeper for him every day they spent side by side.

And at some point later- Edwin is crushing hard. Realizing "oh shit, I love him-" and falling hard in a chaotic storm of feeling he doesn't know how to deal with, he's a complete mess.

Idk, I personally prefer the second version more but both options can be great interpretations of their dynamic.

You can spam boop me!

reblog if you let people spam boop you

Just out of curiosity.

I do love to think about all three versions of the dbda meeting but one thing I find extra funny is the concept of them fighting, like physically

with Charles: comic Charles would not last three seconds I’m sorry, if he wasn’t dead he’d die, we didn’t see much of doom patrol Charles but he seems pretty proficient with weapons so I’m guessing he and Netflix Charles would be evenly matched

with Crystal: honestly depends on the day, doom patrol Crystal could wack them with a shovel, Netflix Crystal could beat them with her bare hands and one of comic Crystal first actions is to burn down her school with a Molotov cocktail and chase a demon with knives, id give it to any of them tbh

but Edwin??? I’m sorry it goes to the twelve year old without question, the others are getting bodied, not even accounting the lightning spell that scrappy little shit would rugby tackle them to the ground and start beating, Charles would have to pull him off, maybe even two Charles’

I have mentioned in my previous post how everyone related to the biological bat family is Jewish, but I need to talk a moment about Damian Wayne's aunts.

Because this boy has 5 Jewish aunts. And not just from Bruce's side.

Let's review them, alright?

1. One of the most famous out of them, Kate Kane aka Batwoman. The Jewish icon and Bruce's cousin. (Once removed or-something still counts!)

2. Beth Kane or Red Alice, Kate's twin. She's his aunt as well, the same as Kate.

3. Bette Kane, aka flamebird, another cousin of Bruce. Also shares the same Jewish blood.

Just wait, now is the more interesting part I've been waiting for:

4. Nyssa Raatco. (Very different from the Arrowverse version).

Talia's older sister. Daughter of Ra's Al Ghul and her Jewish mom. A badass Jewish Arab assassin, and one of my favorite Jewish aunts of Damian.

And the last one might be more controversial, because I know she's *technically* not family but still

Harey Quinn is the 5 Jewish aunt of Damian I'LL DIE DEFENDING IT.

My source?

AUNTIE QUINN!?!!

DC fans don't get mad at me I know Harley is not batfamily I just think she's an aunt figure to Damian. She's not part of the whole batfam, she's his aunt exclusively. She's Damian's fifth Jewish aunt fight me.

Yap I'll see myself out 🚪←🏃

Can people stop making Damian homophobic just because he's the "brat" child?

His best friends are bi and ace his aunt is a lesbian and his adopted brother is also bi. Some of the people Damian loves the most are LGBTQIA.

Damian was such a good ally to Jon during DC pride 2022- he was ready to fight homophobes in the parade! Mostly because he wanted to fight in general but still he was ready to kick homophobic asses. Very ally of him if you ask me.

Stop with the homophobic Damian jokes, if anything Damian would dislike everyone equally and not because of who they are.

In my eyes this take on him is a very poor understanding of Damian's character.

Edit: It might be just me but I saw "jokes" that made Damian homophobic, especially towards Tim, and it just makes me irrationally mad.

Edit 2: sorry to the arrow fam fans for mentioning Connor, I know the 2021 is a poor interpretation of him and not very in character. It's still canon, and the pride issue was nice.

Wayyyy later than what I expected to finish, I'm finally finished with my Payneland fencing fic! Thank you so much to everybody that offered themselves as my beta, I really appreciate that!

Relationships: Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne & Charles Rowland (the fic focus on their friendship specifically, the romance is just an ending bonus).

Rating: gen

Trigger warnings: blades/ fencing, dysfunctional gays, Charles that's so fucking gay you cannot say that to your platonic best friend,

Other stuff: fencer Edwin Payne, touch starved Charles & touch starved Edwin if you squint, love confession, hurt/comfort, eventual cuddling, teens being teens, slight miscommunication the first half of the fic, okay they're really miscommunicating at the start but it gets better don't worry!

Link to the snippet

Edwin and Charles' friendship come first before anything else, before any romantic feelings ever even started. This is why when shortly after Port Townsend when Charles is starting to act off and Edwin feels it's because of his confession affecting them, although Charles is denying the accusation, he confronts Charles to talk with him again the way they do things: He makes him fence with him.

And Charles can never tell Edwin no, is he? Or: Charles tried to isolate himself away from Edwin, Edwin couldn't let that stand. The boys being teenagers and fooling around fencing.

Based on my fencing history so I actually come with knowledge about that! I kinda took advantage of that for creating this fic.

I hope you'll like it! I really enjoyed writing it. Charles is my favourite out of them but damn fencer Edwin is ruining my brain.
