In Mine And Many Other East Asian Cultures, The Dragon Traditionally Symbolises Things Like Power, Wealth

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

I really like the 4th panel.

I would really like to go a walk/ride in a place like that.

Nothing but you and the beautiful scenery.

Guys. What if, hear me out, Danny is that rumored (never aging) spooky ghost story people tell each other. (Only its somewhat real, cause Danny is half ghost and is aging slowly) Like imagine Danny 'works' at the library in Gotham, he meets like Jason as a kid, helps him find a book and when Jason goes to thank him Danny is just gone. Then Dick comes to picks him up, asks how the library was, he explains only for Dick to look pale and staring at Jason a little freaked out cause Jason just described the guy he meet as a kid himself years ago, same name too, then when Bruce comes home, he too tells a story of running into Danny at the library. When he was a kid too.

Then it happens with Tim, Cass, Steph, Duke, even Damian later in the following years.

Basicly Danny is the rumored ghost story at the library. (He only 'works' there cause Ghostwriter library is connected to it via portal door that opens randomly and Danny is only there on certain times/days to make sure no one uses it and steers people away from it by helping and getting them out of the area. He's helping GW out as an apology for what started their Christmas fight, and if Gw lets him look at some rare space books/tomes than yeah, might as well)

I Made This A Long Time Ago And Was Very Nervous About Posting It To Tumblr. I Can’t Really Think Of

I made this a long time ago and was very nervous about posting it to Tumblr. I can’t really think of a good caption~ everything I wanted to say is in the little blurb at the beginning.
