“I took part in the kinslaying at Alqualondë and all I got was this lousy splinter.” - CurufinwëFëanorian
Took a couple hours between commissions today to draw a (very very) quick and messy sketch based on one of my very lovely stocking fills, in which Curufin spirals over a splinter being the only injury he gets at the First Kinslaying. Thank you very much to the mystery writer and @silmarillionstockings for running the event! <3
there is no way jason and tim haven’t gotten bored during patrol and decided to switch places for a bit. like the amount they must banter and joke about how tim stole robin so he’s coming for red hood next, and that jason’s gonna steal red robin as revenge for taking robin for him; there has to be an occasion where during a slow night they’re both bored and in funny moods so they just switch costumes behind an air conditioning unit without telling anyone for a laugh.
jason shows up to red robin’s rendezvous with nightwing, batman and robin clearly about to tear through tim’s suit. dick and damian stare at him in the utmost bafflement until bruce opens his mouth to ask what the fuck and dick cuts him off with a ‘hoooold on b, i kinda wanna see what happens when he tries to use those bo-staffs.’
they end up just quietly accepting it and jason spends the next three hours doing the MOST dramatic tim impressions he can, including answering literally everything with 'uhm, actually ☝️🤓’ vibes and every five minutes going in a very high pitched voice 'man, jason todd sure was my hero back when he was robin. i wish i had been good enough to fill his shoes but alas, i am just a pathetic little rich boy with no skills other than being a potential peeping-tom’. damian laughs. every time. there also comes a point where they all get into a fight with some criminals and jason has to bust out the bo-staffs except he was never trained with them so he doesn’t know the techniques, and it ends up with dick sat on top of a billboard calling out point scores as jason runs around holding one of the staffs like fuckin steve harrington with his nail-bat just whacking guys over the head with it as if he’s playing fuckin’ goon-golf.
meanwhile tim is over in crime alley surrounded by jason’s subordinates who ABSOLUTELY fuckin’ know this is red robin wearing their bosses suit because it is DROWNING him and they’ve seen the two hang out enough to catch onto tim’s speech style, except they are absolutely NOT going to be interfering or asking why because red robin is wearing a bomb-helmet and is clearly ENTIERLY too happy to be in a situation where it is socially acceptable for him to be using guns and threatening to kill people and jason’s goons do NOT want to get involved. the rest of the bats finally end up in crime alley and they find 'red hood’ sat on a chair in the middle of a street he’s blocked off via death threats overseeing a human version of chess that he’s playing against black mask (who does not seem to realise this isn’t jason) complete with a chalk chess board drawn on the road and all of jason’s subordinates resignedly standing in separate squares with pieces of paper stuck to their heads declaring what kind of piece they’re supposed to be. jason and dick walk onto the street just in time to watch tim declare 'knight to E5!’ and the guy with 'knight’ pinned to his forehead clocks his real boss entering the scene dressed as red robin, sighs bitterly at him, drags his feet over to where black mask’s 'queen’ goon is staring at the floor forlornly, says 'sorry matthew,’ and then proceeds to sock him in the face so hard the guy goes down in one hit.
Wait, so Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight-up Nazi slogan now? “One of ours, all of yours” was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call them Nazis!
They’re not even hiding this shit….it’s all out there in the open
Fact check: the photo is real. Technically that exact phrase is not reflected by historical nazi records, but the intent is.
“However, critics argue that even if the phrase has no direct Nazi origin, its placement on an official podium by a senior US official carries symbolic weight. They view it as evocative of historical practices that are condemned under international law, including the prohibition of collective punishment codified in Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.”

Ring-necked pheasant! I saw one in the wild in New Year’s Day foraging at the edge of a farm and was so charmed by his hopping gait and iridescent colors.
