Shoutout To Cassandra Cain For Having Two Sets Of Parents And Getting Differing Forms Of Issues From

Headcanon that Cassandra Cain uses communication cards for when she is overstimulated and can’t get the words out, or she doesn’t quite know the word for it. And Jason snuck a UNO reverse card in with her communication cards and now she uses it unironically and sometimes it doesn’t even make sense.

An equally sleep deprived Tim: go get some sleep, Cass, I’ll patrol.

Cass: *pulls out a fucking UNO reverse card* nuh-uh

*proceeds to knock him out (affectionately) and go on patrol*

———

Some rogue: you’ll never catch me!

Black Bat who cannot be bothered to come up with a response: *pulls out UNO reverse card with no explanation*

Spoiler: *proceeds to drop down from somewhere and onto the rogue* HAHA! UNO REVERSE, BITCH!

———

Jason: Yo mama so fat, her bellybutton arrives home five minutes before she does!

Cass: *pulls out an UNO reverse card*

Jason, who’s been waiting for this day ever since he first put that UNO card in her communication cards: *Smugly pulls out his own UNO reverse card*

Cass, undeterred: *Pulls out a second UNO reverse card that Jason didn’t give her*

Jason, surprised but prepared: *pulls out another reverse card*

This just ends with them having to clean up like over 50 cards because Alfred got cross with them just standing there and throwing cards at each other.

———

Black Bat: *runs out of bat-a-rangs so for the rest of her patrol she just throws UNO reverse cards at rogues and for some reason it works almost as well*

Some random civilian: *records Black Bat just pelting some mugger with UNO reverse cards* What the fuck.

———

Later on some reporter got lucky and managed to shove a microphone in Black Bat’s face before she could grapple off.

Reporter: could you tell us why you have been spotted using UNO reverse cards as rebuttals to villains?

Black Bat: *very slowly hands the reporter a UNO reverse card whilst making intense eye contact with the camera* No.

———

Black Bat and her UNO reverse cards is now a meme.

Hilarious to me that DC went out of their way to make sure we knew that Steph and Cass were having an Anti-Valentine's Day dance -- complete with Jason, just in case we got the wrong idea about two girls dancing together -- and everybody's still like "aww, look at the lesbians!"

You can't defeat them, DC. It's over.

Just learned that there is a Captain Marvel fan club community (I didn’t even know tumblr had something like that) and I’m freaking out

why would THE ra's al ghul care about that mediocre white boy

It’s easy to talk about how 17 was a fucked up age for Tim but have you seen Dick?

How Old is Duke? by duketectivecomics

Not all of these are comprehensive and some slightly contradict others, but I find them all interesting and valuable discussions about Duke. If you don't know Duke at all or haven't read his comics, I recommend starting with the Character section!

I will be updating this whenever I find another meta so feel free to send any my way :).

what the fuck are they feeding the falin and marcille fan artists. why are they painting the sistine chapel every time. they're going crazy style. those freaks. i love them so much.

If Tumblr goes down, just draw a summoning circle on the ground, I’ll figure it out from there.

One day a man goes missing in Gotham. Nobody special, just another unlucky lowlife schmuck who owed money to the wrong people. The kind of guy with nobody in the world to miss him. Bruce and Babs are sharing notes when Cassandra wanders in. When she notices a picture of the guy's face her eyes harden in a way they're very unused to and she insists they put her on the case. She very pointedly asks for his name before pulling down her mask and leaping out the window.

They don't see her again for the next several days. She tears through the city's criminal underbelly with an unmatched ferocity. She's always driven but this concerns even Bruce. If experience has taught them anything though, it's that there's no talking to her when she's like this so they can do nothing but wait and hope.

Eventually she puts enough pressure on that somebody gives her a location. Not an hour later she's untying the man from a chair in a dank cellar in a dive bar on the outskirts of the city. He's not exactly on the right side of law so when he pulls the blindfold from over his eyes and sees a Bat standing right in front of him, especially this bat, he yelps and recoils in fear. Then she hugs him. She hugs him tight and holds on long enough that he forgets his fear and instead starts to feel distinctly awkward. Then just as quickly she vanishes, leaving him alone and too stunned for words.

He doesn't remember, but then, she never expected him to. It was years ago after all. A cold night, even for winter in Gotham when a petty crook decided the girl huddled on a street corner with no home to go back to looked like she needed that hot cup of cocoa more than he did. She remembered though.

I got deadpool!

Congratulations! You are the new sidekick to a DC or Marvel superhero. Spin the wheel to determine who your mentor is. (NO RE-SPINS)

Assume you will have a similar superpower or will learn a similar skill set (for the non-powered heroes) as your mentor or one of your mentor's canon sidekicks (dealer's choice) so you aren't completely screwed.
