Two-Face in court: Hey... (Flips coin, it lands bad.) Mothers and fuckers of the jury.
I never used to check my email. Then I discovered AO3
Cassandra Cain I Am The Dog Animatic
happy birthday to my beloved blorbo... this is late to cass cain week because as you can see it is a behemoth and i spent 2 weeks on it. first time making smth like this but phew the things i would do for cass. Song is I Am the Dog by Sir Chloe
if you wanna read me yapping about every choice i made for these frames it is under the cut!!
I'm not going to be pulling each frame for this because that would be so much so Ill go by lyric :]
head underwater / hand in a fist
I start with cass post shiva fight after she wins and then immediately go all the way back in time to the act of violence that put cass on her suicide mission in the first place
hard to describe something ill never miss
baby cass is holding that mans throat in her hands, the most prominent mark on her chest is his blood / adult cass is holding her mask in her hand, and the most prominent mark on her chest is the bat symbol
i am the dog under your couch
this wolf is a reference to the mark of cain symbol which im...pretty sure is a wolf? its really shittily drawn and not a lot of references but whatever. she is being partially covered by the mark of her father.
gnashing teeth and open mouth
remember that time where cass conquered a pack of dogs (or wolves?) and then ate a cow raw. this is that
shouldn't have clawed my own way out
this is pretty self explanatory
loving you's my only house
OK! that one scene where we see cass's birth and it says the first sound she heard was her mother and the second was a gun shot? that made me terminally insane. this is that.
then we go through a fast montage of cass's important parental people in her life in order david/babs/bruce/shiva. we end with the scene we opened with in the beginning, zoomed out, and cass seems happier. yay!
happy birthday cass 💜💜💜
I love when someone posts something particularly heartbreaking related to Cass's childhood and the tags unite to manifest large amounts of violence and misery on David Cain. Beat that old man with a baseball bat it's what he deserves.
i think cass is always quietly trying to encourage her family to protect their necks, whether training in instincts during spars or by vetoing costume designs without throat protection. she knows it's not anymore vulnerable than your soft tummy and achilles tendons, but the illogical part of her will never forget her hand slick in blood watching a body do something she's never seen before and wondering why is it doing that? what did i steal from him when i grabbed? what was so important that i tore away?
The only thing you need to know about Tim becoming Robin is that he's the protagonist of a horse girl movie and Batman is the horse.
Do new members of the DC Captain Marvel fandom know that the concept of Thavma is mainly fanon? No? Okay, nobody tell them it’ll be so funny
Okay, random thought, but I can definitely see Cassandra Cain hanging upside down like a bat purely to freak people out and to keep her status as a cryptid
Gaze upon your Superman and weep
He’s shy
My favourite flavour of StephCass is when the two of them don’t realise they are in a romantic relationship
“We make out, but only platonically”
“Yeah, I call her babe, but that’s just girl talk!”
“Sure, Steph always sleeps in my bed even tho she has her own, but that’s only because it gets cold”
“I get jealous when other people flirt with her, but that’s normal”
in absolute tears about the pride module at my work
I think it’s humorous when DC villians are all (inconsistently) honorable when it comes to their heroes being injured or getting unmasked, like that could never be the case for Billy Batson. His dynamic with his regular villains kinda hinges on the fact that most of them know he’s 7-14 years old, an orphan, and/or likely homeless depending on the timeline they’re attacking him.
They’re just 1000% down with killing him the moment he’s gets caught flat footed and joking with him they fail because it’s the Same Shit As Normal for Billy. He doesn’t really know any other way of life since because of his uncle’s schemes to steal his inheritance and forcing Billy to steal if he wants to come back home.
It must give other heroes whiplash.
Every time someone says “Steph was the worst Robin” or “Batman was right for not trusting Steph” an angel loses it’s wings and dies a brutal death
Cass’ backstory is so wild cause istg you could make up the most insane shit and I’d be like “David Cain when I catch you”
like ‘David gave Cass every poison on earth so she would build up immunity to them all’? I’d buy that being cannon.
‘David made Cass box a kangaroo’? Did she win?
Honestly I’d believe someone if they told me David made Cass hunt for dinner like in the Stone Age or smth
Anyway I just know cass lore dropped randomly would go hard
For @casscainweek Day 3 (Jan. 22): Silence | Music
Cassandra did not live in a silent world when David was training. There were many sounds, fists against flesh, gunshots and blades being drawn and wielded.
It was a world she was used to. David never said he was proud, but Cassandra knew he was.
Now, she chooses not to think much about him. He had granted her these skills, but that was all he had given her beyond pain.
The world was louder now, she had to learn what voices were, what type of sound the voices were and what that meant. It was hard. Very hard. And it infuriated her. She wasn’t trained for this.
But, there was one sound she liked. Something that Barbara had given. She named them headphones. They faíce fed her ears and played a soothing tune of gentle… piano, yes.
It was easy to understand. The music was simple, she could close her eyes and focus on it. Barbara wasn’t always understanding, not knowing Cass was trying, and she wasn’t like her.
But this music was nice.
It was nice to have sounds she understood.

I hope this is good. I love Cass so much.
I LOVE imagining Mary in different styles of clothing!
Like, tomboy Mary, goth Mary, scene Mary, punk Mary, cottage core Mary, preppy Mary, UGH SHES JUST PERFECT FOR EVERYTHING
If THOSE TWO are working TOGETHER? Yeah, the world is ending, pack your shit
The scariest combo in the batfamily is Black Bat with Red Hood,I’m never changing my mind about this.
If I see RED HOOD and BLACK BAT walking towards me, I’m out. I’m turning my gps on,come get me cops.Please come pick me up Commissioner Gordon I’m scared- they are hunting me in a dark alley in which I can’t even see them and my soul is about to leave my body
I think you should know that every time you update your drabbles on AO3 somebody alerts everyone in the Divine Discord server like a town crier and we all go “HURRAH!!”
You’re basically a celebrity, I love you please don’t blow up 🙏
One day you take on a fandom you know only by a single movie everyone apparently hates and the next you are vomiting fics for said fandom and learning all kinds of details along the way, always blows my mind to see how much people enjoy my admittedly sometimes wild and flat out random ideas. When I first started writing I didn't even know Billy and Mary were supposed to be twins or who Tawny was or even HOW was Billy's boss called (Mr. Morris), I just threw anything that came to mind without expecting actual feedback. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to blow up as it did
Very grateful for all the support and positive feedback from my readers ⚡🌟🐅⚡🌟🐅 Gonna keep that screenshot if you don't mind, haven't been this popular since the day I was born
Scenario where Mr. Mind forgets his voice amplifier and when he stands in front of Billy about to monologue, Billy doesn’t notice him and just steps on Mr. Mind, killing him.
So like a few months later, Billy’s just wondering if Mr. Mind retired cause he hasn’t shown up recently.
Sometimes I think Gotham should just save time and throw you directly into the Asylum the minute you get your doctorate.
Mary should have one sided beef with one random hero
I want her to intensely glare at someone across the room, a glare that rivals Batman’s, and I want the person she has beef with to not know why
Like, give her a Superman and Booster Gold level grudge
I fear I’ve projected too much onto Billy Batson… 😔
Welp! Time to move on and project onto Mary Batson!
When I was a kid and first learning English I kept hearing “excuse me” and just figured that’s what you said when you wanted someone to move out of the way so I had some interactions like this
Find me on Ko-Fi to get comics early!
Mum, come pick me up, I’m scared
Stephanie: You know what? When you think about it…. Tim just dipping and randomly popping up with another blonde was fucked up. I deserve better than that shit man.
Cassandra: Yeah, me personally, I could never do that to someone I love… you deserve someone that would never do that to you
Cassandra internally: please take the hint please take the hint please take the fucking hint
Currently imagining a bat family dinner where all the batkids are going “pass me the Bat-salt” “sorry, I dropped my Bat-fork” “amazing Bat-soup, Alfred!” “I don’t want to see anymore Bat-photos of your dog on your Bat-phone, Damian”
Meanwhile Bruce has his head in his hands cursing the day he decided to get everyone to come to dinner.
You just know Stephanie is every supervillain in Gotham's least favorite Bat to fight. Half because she never shuts the hell up and half because every last one of them went through a phase of assuming she was the least threatening of the Bats until they actually went up against her and took a sledgehammer to the kneecaps. Whenever new blood turns up to Gotham looking to make a name for themselves the veteran rogues give them the same orientation speech. Do not let the wisecracking fool you, the blonde one is fucking crazy.
