my wip page plus the initial pages preceding it !
i am supposed to be illustrating with the plot of "been a number and a name" by @wynterstars on ao3 in mind, but so far i've covered maybe the first paragraph 🤷🏻 i reread it all the time so i wanted to give it a go, we will see how far i get i suppose!
Tim drake outed as #1 nightwing fan
Text transcript:
Bart: Hey, Kon, doesn’t that guy remind you of Robin?
Kon: No way! Robin would never do something as geeky as wearing superhero merch! And aren’t him and Nightwing like siblings anyways?
I saw a thing about Tim making a game out of the number of people who want to kill him and I just-
Imagine
The core 4 have a tally board. It's stuck to the wall in the kitchen. The board is separated into 8 sections with their names each on it twice. They're playing 2 games at the moment.
In the first game they mark a tally under their name for every person who either wants to kill them, or wishes extreme ill will upon them. Tim's section has significantly more tally marks than the others, having inherited most of Batman and Nightwing's previous enemies when he took up the mantel. Though over the years the other three have gained their fair share of enemies too. Their tally counts were nothing to scoff at.
The second game they were playing was counting the murder/assassination attempts against them individually. Again, Tim's count was significantly higher because Gotham.
(There is a smaller tally board in the common room keeping track of their collective near death experiences.)
This is a perfectly normal game to them, they'd been playing it for years! However, after surviving an assassination attempt on an independent mission they realize it is perhaps not normal behavior to celebrate the attempt, by screeching "this murder tally's gonna put me in the lead!" and immediately calling whoever's at base so they could add it to the board.
They originally turned it into a game because laughing about it made it less scary, they were so young.
This is the first thing i’ve drawn in months and it is not finished but i just miss thinking about yj98 and i miss drawing kon really spiky and epic and slay

Jason: well holy shitballs batman I’m going to fucking di-

Living at Wayne Manor has got to be a trip.
Like imagine you just stayed up all night, diffused two bombs, participated in a high speed chase, fist fought a gay homophobic clown who's down bad for your father, returned home to your bat infested cave prominently featuring a dinosaur, and before you can change out of your spandex and log into the fifteen foot tall family computer, the local crime lord comes down from the mansion to tell you it's time to practice your group tictok dance so that the press keeps thinking you're a spoiled ditzy socialite trust fund baby
Tim : Why do you always have to reference your death ? It's not always the time and place, you know ?
Jason : "Jealousy is what makes bitches talk".
Tim : I-- What ?! Why would I be jealous of--
Jason, shrugs : That's for you to figure out and work on.
