HAWAIIAN SHIRT BUDDIES!
Merry christmins
A new reason for why Young Justice is all 17 and not aging. They started a Dionysus-style cult centered around Cassie to see if they could make her into a Goddess, and it worked. In return, she made them all her immortal companions'.
RR: that is in fact a threat.
*At the Watchtower for some huge meeting*
Superman: hey Red Robin! Happy belated birthday! It was last week right? How old are you now?
Red Robin: 17.
Nightwing: 20!
Everyone: *stares*
Nightwing: RR, we talked about this. You can’t just decide to stop aging. That’s not how it works. You were born 20 years ago so you are 20 years old.
Red Robin: no. I’m 17 and I really need you to stop saying I’m not.
Impulse: Yeah! We’re 17 Nightwing! We’re never gonna be older than that!
*yj core four gather round Red Robin menacingly*
Superman: what?????
Nightwing: *sighs*
Batman: *dissatisfied grunt*
Red Robin: we went through a lot of bs to become eternally 17 and I won’t let you ruin our hard work!
Wonder Woman (eternally young and suffering for it): why? Why would you do this?
Superboy: if RR is doing it we’re gonna be right there with him!
Wonder girl: *nods*
Red Robin: believe us, you don’t want to see what happens if I lose my youthful optimism.
The absolute best thing about the fab 5 is literally any ship pairing is acceptable except for exactly one (1) and we all know which one it is
Like
Dick/Roy 100% in love with feed it to me, inject me with this (lowkey my favorite ship please put recs in the comments im dying for some good angst/comfort)
Dick/Wally adorkable my babies I love them (no need for fic recs I have plenty)
Dick/ Garth omglookitsocuteandperfect (recs recs recs recs)
Roy/Donna GAG ME WITH THIS SHIP OH MY GOD YES (RECS RECS RECS RECS RECs)
Roy/Wally oooohhhh there are so many interesting things you can do with this dynamic (please we argue and then go fuck in the closet vibes - not hate sex but we are competing for the same person and getting nowhere might as well)
Roy/Garth UGHHH ESPECIALLY AFTER ALL THE SHIT STIRRING IN THE EARLY 2000s??? AND THE WAY THAT ROY WAS A LIL SHIT TO BABY GARTH OMG IT COULD SO WORK
Wally/Donna omg adorable, cute, sweet, Donna would beat the sexism out of teen Wally sokka/suki style tell me I’m wrong.
Wally/Garth cutesy, demure, they could geek out together, my lil ones together, they’d do gardening for fun trust me.
Garth/Donna omg iconic, cute, they fit so well together, the responsibilities? The fish out of water bonding. PEAK FICTION
Donna/Dick: ….ew no
can we talk about this?
i get that this person is referencing the fact that she's drawn beautifully but cassie has always been a tomboy i don't get why they started making her more girly, they're stripping her of her og personality.
she actually looks like sabrina carpenter, stop this
bring back my tough girl!!!
Teen Titans/Outsiders: Secret Files and Origins (2003)
Cackling over this one panel of Cassie and the griffin that ate her homework. We need more Cassie and Greek myth/monster shenanigans.
if you go into Tim Drake comics with the expectations that tumblr and fanfiction have given you, you are going to be met with the rude awakening that is feral asshole Tim with minimal reaction to social cues. Like yes I love him. Yes he is self-deprecating and kind of insecure. Yes he's a genius and yes he's been screwed over by his family a lot. He is also a bit of a dick.
Just to add to this, the entirety of the core-four/Tim's era of sidekicks are all drawn in incorrect ages at some point (or all the time in Barts' case)
Going off their ages in the original YJ comics, Tim is 2 years younger than Jason Todd (who will be my reference point), Bart and Cassie (I think) are both a year older than Tim (making them 1 year younger than Jason), and lastly KON IS THE SAME AGE AS JASON!
Which is something to think about since Jason is drawn like a man going through a mid-life crises but Kon is still drawn early 20s (or younger.)
Therefore, (going off Jason's' age being 22-23):
Tim: 20-21
Bart and Cassie: 21-22
Kon: 22-23
Personally, I think Kon and Cassie are the only two that are drawn to their correct ages (including Jason) and DC need to get their act together and get everyone's ages in order.
"Bart's aging has always been everywhere so it's not invalid to draw him like this [9-11 years old]."
Incorrect. While Bart's aging has been variable throughout the comics it has always been explained by a very clear and blatant events preceding the aging.
The youngest Bart has been in the comics barring flashbacks, and literal one-off aging time shenanigans, is 12 which was a thing for all of 3 pages then he rapidly aged to 14 and was stable for a long, long time.
Bart did not experience any changes in his aging (baring one gag issue where he was a toddler, and the Sins of Youth arc where he was an adult temporarily) for at least two years comic-time.
After apprehending Superboy Prime, Bart was aged to an adult, against the advisement of Geoff Johns and Mark Waid he spent time as The Flash until he was given a mercy kill.
Bart was brought back to life by Brainiac 5 in Legion of Three Worlds where he was reset back to his original age before he was aged up, landing him around 16-17 years old.
Flashpoint happened and he was taken out of comic continuity.
Bart come BACK into comic continuity but we are uncertain what his age is - and this is also something he himself is noted as saying he's not sure what his age is either. Logically, if he never aged while in the Speed Force then when he popped back out he would still be around 17 years old. This is the youngest he can be. Tim, Cassie and Cissie meanwhile aged around a year since Flashpoint and their ages are nebulous. Kon's age as well is uncertain.
Realistically, the Core Four should be in the 18-20 range at the youngest, but if we're going to be 'fair' and accept the reboot fucked age relationships up - then their last posted ages anywhere from 16-18 would be valid.
Bart is not being drawn anywhere near that age group currently in the current run of The Flash and is consistently being depicted as smaller than Jai. This could be valid, as 13 year olds can be VERY BIG and for some completely at their adult height - but the thing is Bart is being drawn SMALLER than he was pre-Flashpoint.
I am so sorry I am so agitated. Even being FAIR it doesn't add up or make sense.
Fixed typos and an error.
There is a stark contrast, between how I view Wondergirl, and how I view Bart.
I wanted to draw out a character sheet for some of my favorite Titans/ Young Justice kiddos. I also wanted to redesign some of the more obscure forgotten heros who have potential to be really cool characters but DC kinda drops the ball with them constantly or ignores their existence altogether.
From left to right.
First Page/ Second Page:
Starfire, Raven, BeastBoy, Donna Troy, Terra, Nightwing, Kid Flash, Zachary Zatara, Impulse, Wonder Girl, Superboy, Red Robin, Miss Martian, Klarion and Teekl, Supergirl, Ravager, Aqualad, Arrowette, Blue Beetle,
Batgirl, Traci 13, Kid Devil, Jinx, Aquagirl, Arsenal, Solstice, Bumblebee, Bombshell, Mas y Menos, Spoiler, Orphan, Slobo, Bunker, The Empress, Superboy ll, Robin, Red Hood, and Secret.
Update! I think I fixed the problem! Also added a section with just the Batfam cause I love them.
been messing around with some Cassie redesigns lately where i basically take the elements of her past costumes that i like and shove them in a blender. I still have some more tweaks in mind but 🤷♂️
World Finest: Teen Titans issue # 5
Richard. John. Grayson. I know u did NOT just make Wally cry....right?
Omg yes! They have such an adorable dynamic that balances each other out. It honestly is such a nice detail Dc added by showing just how close Wally and Dick are.
Especially because in the comics as kids Wally and Dick were always very close. Especially when on the same team like the Teen Titans.
And in the new Teen Titans: World Finest Mark Waid does a good example of showing this when Dick sends in Roy, Garth, and Donna on a mission where a Meta is having a breakdown and causing a mass hallucination of how she feels.
Dick sends in Roy to deal with the meta human despite knowing he only has arrows and the meta humans power messes with you on a phycological level. He does this so that Wally can go with him, which, lets be honest, wasn't a very smart move.
As expected Roy ends up taking the hard blunt of things because, lets be honest, Dick should've sent in Wally. I mean Roy literally only has arrows.
And I'm not saying Roy can't handle himself he obviously can. But strategic wise it would have been smarter to send Wally in whose a meta himself.
Dick didn't do that for the simple fact he just wanted Wally near him. He also didn't want Roy around him as much because they got some tension going on but thats beside the point.
The point is, Dick doesn't just do this in this comic run but also would do it all the time in past comics as well. He would choose Wally to go with him places even when it would be smarter to send him with other memebers of the group/team simply because he just wanted to be with Wally.
Rewatching the first few episodes of Young Justice, and this is kinda birdflash kinda not (you can absolutely take it as them just being besties), but Wally grabbing Robin’s utility belt when Dick uses it in CADMUS, so Wally doesn’t get left behind is SO cute to me. Dick is just minding his business, being one half of the dynamic duo who doesn’t play well on teams, but then there’s Wally who is so clearly repeatedly saying “if you’re going, I’m going” by sticking close to Robin. Dick isn’t thinking about the others, but Wally is SO prepared for Robin’s next movements, and it speaks to such an amazing friendship and partnership in the field😭I miss them so much - they were never the same again after the 5 year time skip what HAPPENED to THIS version of them goddammit
Y'know how batman said his name was batman when bound by the Lasso of truth, possibly due to his disassociation from the Bruce Wayne persona and possibly due to self imposed brainwashing? Well once the rest of the batfamily finds out about it, specifically Tim Drake, he asks both Wonder Girls (Cassie and Donna) to borrow the Lasso. Kon-el Superboy is there as well as Tim's control group. so after explaining his plan to everyone involved, he explains that he is testing to see if it was possible to trick himself into tricking the Lasso of truth.
Jason Todd unwittingly walks into the room ( they are at the manor under the guide of planning a celebration) as they are testing and suggests to Tim to, instead of redefining the rules of the Lasso, redefine what constitutes as an appropriate answer to questions. As such, whenever Jason Todd gets Lasso'd and asked questions, he speaks in broken Russian to throw people off. Damian just speaks Arabic to inconvenience them. When tim looks confused about why jason is lassod enough to need to know this, jason explains that this is why he got the best at game night with the league. Everyone gets a moment of understanding over this revelation.
Tim, who was never told about game night, is more confused than ever, but takes the advice to heart and uses it as an excuse to learn and use Klingon.
The only batfamily members to be consistently allowed into game night are Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, because Bruce doesn't actually play, and Grayson doesn't go all out.jason stoped getting invites after dying,and only returns as Dick's plus one occasionally. Tim was never invited because it was unanimously decided he would win.
Tim is hurt by this
its always sunny in mount justice (they used to have a braincell once but bart lost it)
Reading 90's Young justice be like
John Constantine: Alright, one of you little shits, give me a cigarette.
Impulse: But, Mr. Constantine, we don't smoke.
Constantine: Cut the bullocks, Allen! I know that one in five kids smoke. (counts Young Justice) One, two, three, four, five! Now, I am going to close my eyes, and when I open them, there had better be a cigarette in between these fingers... (closes his eyes)
Robin: (puts a cigarette in between his fingers)
Constantine: (eyes still closed) Light?
Wonder Girl, Impulse, Secret, & Superboy: (all take out lighters to light the cigarette)
Young Just-Us

Dick: You don’t have ovaries?
Jason: Exactly

Kon: And she attacks your boat and violently humps you
Bart: Or there could be glowing squids! That’d be pretty cool
Cassie: Have any of you ever heard of inside thoughts??

some quick little doodle headshots of cassie, tim, and cass. today was the first day in a while i’ve been able to draw and it feels great!
~at a very fancy restaurant~
Bart: Woah there’s a lot of French on this menu, oh! Speaking of French guess what I learned on Duolingo today
Cassie: What’d you learn?
Bart: When they say ‘cat’ in French they pronounce it ‘shat’! You know like sat but with an ‘sh’
Tim: Bart please stop talking
Bart: No it’s true! They say ‘shat’! S-H-A-T. Like if Kon was a French cat I’d say “Look there’s the shat right there!”- why are you laughing
Kon: Bart, um do you know what shat means in English? Come here (whispers for a moment in his ear)
Bart: IT MEANS SHIT?? WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME!
Bart: oh sorry
Cassie: just kill me now
Oh my boy I hate how much I love him he was meant to be my least favourite but he’s clawed himself tooth and nail into my heart
Bruce, knowing Tim went out as RR when he was meant to be benched: do you have something to tell me, chum?
Tim, half asleep and drooling in his tea: sometimes Cassie and Kon make me curl into a ball and then use me as a baseball to play catch with while Bart stands in the middle and tries to catch me first.
Bruce: ….
Bruce: what.
Tim: they call me ‘piggy in the middle’
Bruce: …
Tim: somehow Bart never catches me but I think it’s only because he’s laughing so much.
Bruce, completely forgetting about Tim patrolling: I… I don’t know what to do with this information.
