New fic idea! Mary breaks into Uncle E house, beats him up, and then steals all the family documents so she can finally figure out which twin was born first
Cassandra Cain I Am The Dog Animatic
happy birthday to my beloved blorbo... this is late to cass cain week because as you can see it is a behemoth and i spent 2 weeks on it. first time making smth like this but phew the things i would do for cass. Song is I Am the Dog by Sir Chloe
if you wanna read me yapping about every choice i made for these frames it is under the cut!!
I'm not going to be pulling each frame for this because that would be so much so Ill go by lyric :]
head underwater / hand in a fist
I start with cass post shiva fight after she wins and then immediately go all the way back in time to the act of violence that put cass on her suicide mission in the first place
hard to describe something ill never miss
baby cass is holding that mans throat in her hands, the most prominent mark on her chest is his blood / adult cass is holding her mask in her hand, and the most prominent mark on her chest is the bat symbol
i am the dog under your couch
this wolf is a reference to the mark of cain symbol which im...pretty sure is a wolf? its really shittily drawn and not a lot of references but whatever. she is being partially covered by the mark of her father.
gnashing teeth and open mouth
remember that time where cass conquered a pack of dogs (or wolves?) and then ate a cow raw. this is that
shouldn't have clawed my own way out
this is pretty self explanatory
loving you's my only house
OK! that one scene where we see cass's birth and it says the first sound she heard was her mother and the second was a gun shot? that made me terminally insane. this is that.
then we go through a fast montage of cass's important parental people in her life in order david/babs/bruce/shiva. we end with the scene we opened with in the beginning, zoomed out, and cass seems happier. yay!
on her way to spoil your crimes (don't commit any)
nightwing | red hood | batgirl | red robin | robin | signal
Duke can see a few moments into the future but will deliver it in the most needlessly cryptic way
Jason and Bruce are arguing. Just before Jason storms off, Duke says, "If you walk out that door, you will experience unforeseeable pain and have no one but yourself to blame"
And Jason's all, "Stay out of this, Narrows"
Then he trips over his shoelace and Duke's like, "Told you so"
Captain Marvel (Shazam) AU where Billy thinks the JL knows his identity so he’ll just walk around the Watchtower as Billy. So others see this random kid and —in all the wisdom of the smartest heroes in the world— they assume he’s just a ghost haunting the place.
Cue identity shenanigans
“Dick’s Robin is ___!” “Jason’s Batgirl is ___!” “Cass’ Robin is ___!” “Steph’s Batgirl is ___!” “Tim’s Robin is ___!” “Duke’s Batgirl is ___!”
No no no, I don’t care about any of that, who is YOUR Batgirl? Who is YOUR Robin? Who will always be Batgirl and/or Robin in your eyes?
Billy, whose parents died from being crushed by rocks in a buried tomb, watching as the wizard is killed by a massive rock falling onto him: oh…
I'm trying to prove something.
See, while I agree that Steph would understand Jason... Maybe even agree with a choice here and there... I can't help but feel like she'd resent him. Resent his attitude, he's Bruce's son and it's obvious. Nobody has suffered like he, and nobody can understand him. He's so hard done by and he has to be the way he is. It's all the talk of Bruce, with a half baked plan to fix the city's current issues and create brand new ones.
And Bruce bends BACKWARDS for this motherfucker. Looking the other way and giving a million chances. Stephanie knows that if she did just one thing like Jason does on the daily, she'd be Bruce's top target. If she had came back from Africa and tried to kill him, to kill OTHER sidekicks, Bruce would have wasted nothing trying to take her down.
Jason wasn't the one failed by Bruce, Jason wasn't the one that had to fake his death to get away. Jason wasn't the one hurt by Bruce.
Stephanie faked her death. Stephanie died. Stephanie saw her best friend failed time and time again by the boys.
Jason gets no sympathy from Stephanie. He's just another boy who can't control his emotions. He's another man with a gun who thinks he's had the hardest go of it, not knowing just how much worse others, how much worse women, have it.
All Jason is to Stephanie is proof of Bruce's hatred of her, proof of his bias. A boy spoiled by privilege. She would not see the boy from Crime Alley, she'd see the boy from Wayne Manor.
Damian, standing by the fireplace: I'm sure you're wondering why I asked you all here today.
Damian: We are all in agreement that Stephanie should be part of this family. However, with both father and Stephanie strongly opposed to her being adopted, there's only one recourse open to us.
Damian: One of us will have to marry her.
Damian: Obviously I'm exempt due to my extreme youth, but the rest of you are either of marriageable age or close enough to at least get engaged.
Damian: Would anyone like to volunteer? Richard?
Dick: did you seriously call me away from a crime scene to ask me to marry my little brother's ex
Damian: I'll take that as a no. Duke?
Duke: well I'm not of marriageable age either and I like just met Steph so I feel kind of weird about this whole thing-
Damian: Understandable. Jason?
Jason: lol no
Damian: I don't know why I asked. Timothy?
Tim: Damian this is really weird for me too, she's my ex and we already decided we're better off as friends and I'm sure you mean it in like a marriage of convenience kind of way but it'd still be super uncomfortable for me to ask her something like that and-
Damian: Disappointing answer. Cassandra-
Cass, holding up her phone: oh I proposed while you guys were talking
Damian:
Dick:
Tim:
Cass: *phone beeps* she said yes. We shall have a spring wedding.
Damian: Excellent work Cassandra.
Cass: thank you
