Catch the latest, cherish the timeless
Scrolling through the young justice tag and seeing my own post was such a jump scare. Like omg, it’s me? It’s like when you’re walking and there’s randomly a mirror. Anyways, I’m working very hard on typing out season 1 of my YJ au. If y’all want the craziness of my notes I’ll post them but if not, it’s gonna take a while.
Gotten back into the Young Justice comics. Might rewrite the entirely of the Young justice show to more fit the comics. Tell me if that would interest any of y'all.
if you run, you'll run right back again
THE BOY EVER !!
Stimmy Speedster Sunday II!
THE BESTEST BOY
boy be upon ye
Bart: Wally and I had a fight.
Tim: I’m sure he didn’t mean it.
_
Bart: Wally and I had a fight.
Kon: did you win?
-
Bart: Wally and I had a fight.
Cassie: next time, go for the eyes and then strike the throat-
*In the middle of a briefing*
Batman: Our target is a man by the name of Percy Dunn, he's the gangs runner and will be the most likely lead to the main operation.
Bart: Percy Dunn? The Lightning Thief.
Tim: That's Percy Jackson, Bart.
Bart: So have you told Dick about us?
Tim: What? No. That's like posting it on my Facebook page... if I had a Facebook page.
Tim: or had any desire to share intimate life details with people I'd avoid on the street.
Bart: I'm the best observer you know!
Tim: Last week you thought that a sponge in the tower was an owl.
Bart: If you'd stop buyin' ‘em in bird colors, that would stop happening.
Bart, trying hard to be the distraction: I'm so sorry about this. It's my assistant that makes all the reservations, and she's been under heavy medications. She was recently diagnosed with Parvo.
Bad guy: Isn't that a dog's disease?
Bart, watching Tim sneak behind the desk: Yes, yes, it is. My assistant is a Golden Retriever. Adorable, but dim. Her whole keyboard is just three big buttons. She has very large paws. I should have fired her years ago, but she's a rescue and I just didn't have the heart.
Tim: Alright, I hope you all payed attention to my presentation. Bart, how can you tell that one is a compulsive liar?
Bart: Assuming that their pants aren't on fire.
Tim: Bart, this is serious.
Bart: I'm being completely serious.
Bart: Collecting charity money for the Justice League Ball?
Wally: We don't have Balls.
Bart: I honestly have no response to that.
Jason: Hey, I wanna tell a joke.
Tim: ?!?
Dick: Ok?
Jason: What did the kitty cat say to the clown?
Dick: what?
Jason: I'M GOING TO DEVOUR YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS, YOU MURDEROUS SON OF A BITCH.

#Bruce meets his match
Bruce: *staring at Bart from across the interrogation table*
Bart: *Kicking his legs and staring back*
Bruce: So, Impulse-
Bart: No.
Bruce: No?
Bart: You were gonna question me. I say no.
Bruce: You didn't hear the question.
Bart: Okay, go ahead.
Bruce: So-
Bart: No.
Bruce: *disgruntled bat noises*
Bart: *staring with a blank expression*
~ two hours later ~
Bruce: *dangling Bart upside down from the ceiling*
Bart: And then I was all like, "No way, you can't do that. That's a no-no, even in my book", and then Tim was like "I-"
Bruce: Enough, please stop. Stop talking. Leave. I'm done.
Bart: *phases out of the ties* thanks. *walks out*
Diana, on the other side of the one sided glass: I've never seen him give up so quickly.
Hal: Kids' got spunk.
Clark: We should go before Bruce tries to vent on one of us.
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 amount of joy I feel is immeasurable.
Look at my babies!!!
sun and moon (boy)friends
did a little bart i’m having fun with this style
pt1 | pt 2 | pt 3
Do you think Young Justice has picked up sayings from each other? Like do they say fraggin' or oh Hera in an everyday conversation. they already call everyone 'Kid'. Like Kon in the middle of Kansas 'THANK Hera! That's over.' And all the civilians are like 'wtf?'

Family tradition 🥰🥰🥰
Inspired by:
[DC] some old kon sketches with some bonus core four designs I was just messing around with
(Just realized I gave all the other three ponytails 🧍🏻♀️)
Y'know, it's so funny to me when people make out like Tim Drake would keep files on how to take down his friends when Tim has explicitly said he disagrees with Batman on this:
[Young Justice (1998) #36]
Like, yes, during his Red Robin tenure he does make a Hit List full of contingency plans for known heroes. But if you go and read that, you'll notice that, while the Justice League and Damian may be on there, Tim's own friends are decidedly absent:
[Red Robin (2009) #14]
In fact, a lot of these heroes are people that have either (a) attacked Tim specifically, (b) have a track record that includes turning evil/getting mind controlled, or (c) are on the JLA (meaning Batman probably already had those files compiled and Tim just stole them).
So yeah: Tim's not down with contingency-planning for his friends. You know which one of the YJ crew DID agree with Batman though? My favorite blorbina Anita Fite, aka Empress:
[Young Justice (1998) #36]
But yeah, this contrast is honestly fascinating to me. Because while both Anita and Tim have been shown to be incredibly loyal individuals, this exchange really highlights the fact that, between the two of them, Anita is far more likely to engage in this kind of pragmatism when she thinks it's necessary to get the job done
The whole Our Worlds at War arc actually does a really good job of illustrating how both of them react to betrayal from within. It's not just the Batman Files conflict either -- I'm thinking specifically about the hallucination-based torture Granny Goodness put them through, which showed them their worst fears. Most of the team ended up having to watch their loved ones die, but what's super interesting to me is that we really only see Anita and Tim hallucinate that their loved ones blame them for their deaths:
[Young Justice (1998) #37]
Like. It's not the same as a teammate turning evil at all. But it does give us a good idea of how they'd both react when faced with a friend or teammate doing harmful things, albeit on a smaller scale. Because where Tim kind of just accepts Superboy yelling at him and moves straight into bargaining for Kon's life, Anita actually flips the script, gets angry, and defends herself against her father:
[Young Justice (1998) #37]
(she actually gets so righteously pissed off that she manages to break out of the VR simulation Granny Goodness had her trapped in, but that's another point)
But yeah, it's super interesting, because by this point, both Anita and Tim have been set up to be very similar characters. They both can be a little bit obsessive, they both have some issues with boundaries and stalking (Tim with Nightwing and Batman, Anita with Cissie), and of the team, they're both portrayed as the "normal" members (Anita does technically have mind control powers but she barely ever uses them, and in a fight, she's basically just a very good, human-level fighter)
But at the end of the day, though Batman forces Robin to put on a cool front of objectivity, Tim (at least in his pre-grief-spiral era) ultimately wants to see the best in his team. When the people he cares about screw up, he wants to give them second chances. And when that trust gets broken, his first instinct is to try to use diplomacy, or, failing that, simply remove himself from the situation (as we see at the end of the Our Worlds at War arc when he quits the team)
Anita, on the other hand, while still incredibly loyal, does not hand out that loyalty unconditionally. We see this when she tries to keep her identity secret from the YJ squad, we see it when she gets pissed in Granny Goodness's hallucination when her father blames her for her mother's death, and we see it when she later blames Secret for her perceived role in Anita's father's death
Anita also happens to sit right smack dab in the middle of the YJ morality scale; while she's generally pretty chill and willing to abide by typical superhero codes of ethics (unlike Slobo and Secret), she's also been shown to bend those rules when she believes it's necessary (as seen here when she tortures and threatens to kill a man for trying to hurt Cissie). Ultimately, what this means is, between Tim and Anita, it's honestly Anita who'd probably be the most willing to put her personal qualms aside, buckle down, and go against her loved ones if it was the only reasonable option
Anyway. This is a really long-winded way of saying I think Gun Batman's biggest nemesis should be Empress
2k Tim fic comin at ya sometime tonight ;)
i made a thing :D
tim ^
who knows you might receive kon bart and cassie later
Young Just-Us
Posting bc i will probs never finish it
Edit!: i did actually finish, go me, if u want to see the finished result check my blog :))
I hc that Bruce randomly drops lore about his life before he became Batman.
The Justice League, The Titians, young Justice and all other superhero groups are at the watch tower no one knows that Batfamily even execets even Wally only knows Dick is Nightwing and Bruce is Batman ONLY. But Bruce is under the assumtion that they know his identaity becuase it has been over a century they have to know right?
Training in separate groups and there is a break with everyone on couches talking
Batman starts speaking and everyone stops what they are doing: This remindes me of Nick.
Superman: Who is Nick, Batman
Oh I never did mention him did I? By Nick I mean Saint Nikolus or Santa
EVreyone: SANTA?!?!?!
Yes? How else was I supposed to learn how to sneak around Superman?
Wait! I thoungh you said that you trained under *List of assassion supervillians that get worse with every name*?!?!?
WHAT?
I did but Saint Nickolus was the best at stealth
The people of the younger side (-Tim): I thought Santa was make beleive?
Batman confused:N-
Red Hood & all the other batkids (-Tim): SANTA IS REAL??! WHY DID YOU NOT TELL US DAD?!?!
Everyone:DAD?!?!
Wally: I DID NOT KNOW YOU HAD A CRIME LORD AND HERO SIBLINGS?!?!
Nightwing: Did you think they did nothing when we went out ?
Wally: YES
Everyone: You knew!
Wally: I knew that Batman was Nightwings dad nothing more.
Barry: You did not think to let me know?!?!
Wally: Oh sure and get killed by Batman!
Superboy 1: Why are you not surprised by any of this Red Robin?
Red Robin: I killed Santa
What!
Red Robin: BUT he is ok now!
( I'm pretty sure he doesn't get revived but for this he's revived)
I would finnish but it is Mid-night and I want to go to bed
I’d tell them you said that, but they really don’t need that kind of ego boost
Dick: Woah! What’s with the face?
Jason: It’s Bruce. He never leaves me alone! I swear he’s so far up my ass I can feel him in my ovaries
Dick: You don’t have ovaries?
Jason: Exactly

Tim:
~at 3 in the morning~
Tim: Did you know that only 5% of the ocean has been uncovered? For all we know, there could wild JoJo Siwas in the ocean
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??
~
Tim: Why are you crying!? What’s wrong?!?
A very pregnant Stephanie: Sometimes when my eyes get lonely I cry because they’re friends with my tears :(
Tim:
