To keep Thalia and Jason as siblings, Jason could have been trapped inside Casino Lotus

“Dick Grayson’s concept design for Damian’s Robin uniform.”

From Batman Files.

DICK DESIGNED DAMIAN’S UNIFORM, GUYS. WITH NO DISCO COLLARS. OR FEATHERS. 

So he isn’t totally helpless when it comes to fashion. :’D

#tbt that time dick grayson couldn’t travel to hell via magic signature book because he kept fuckin’ signing his name as nightwing

It was my fic!!!!

And the art was lovely, a pleasure to work with you.

It’s that time of year again! the @superbatbigbang arrives with amazing art and fic once again. I had the pleasure of illustrating this tender scene for I Could Love You, a heart wrenchingly honest and sweet story about finding yourself and falling in love.

Here’s a link to the fic!! www.archiveofourown.org/works/32780587

it’s about catching people when they fall.

*There are a lot more learning websites out there, but I picked the ones that are, as far as I’m aware, completely free and in my opinion the best/ most useful.

the way that everything abt carter and sadie’s personalities feels so grounded in their past is something i appreciate so much.

carter’s desperate need for stability plus his arc of becoming more comfortable being in positions of power and authority? so clearly come from his constant traveling and julius always being there to protect him while carter hides that it feels stupid to even point out.

sadie is rebellious and brash while having tremendous love+respect for authority figures like bast and bes not bc she’s contradictory, but bc she is so desperate for love and affection she didn’t get from her parents and is terrified that everybody in her life will ignore her, just leave her suddenly, or both.

it’s more than like contrast for the sake of contrast; carter and sadie’s differences feel real and fleshed out in a way similar foils don’t rly get in children’s lit idk

iconic!

so you like the percy jackson series….

me too but also we all know that the representation of the characters of color in the books are pretty……how to say, shit? so for each character, I’ve listed out a bunch of recommendations. there are a couple of characters that have a varied list of recommendations due to how vague rick made his characters. for example, while piper is Cherokee and hazel is Louisiana Creole, there are also recommendations outside of that. POC are not interchangeable btw, rr is just rly vague with descs lmao.

If you have any recommendations that are not included in this list, do not hesitate to reach out! I’m happy to make edits for each character and while, I made this list with my trusted sources, i still make mistakes!! a part 2 can always happen so if u don’t see ur favs…do not worry lol

All my recommendations are a collection of middle grade, young adult, adult sff/fantasy, and adult romance!
