speaking of things I've been procrastinating with

[be_themoon]

 guys. guys. 

one of the reasons I'd always been a little bit wary of comics was because I wasn't sure I'd appreciate how they treated women, but Stephanie Brown just rapidly became one of my favorite characters ever. I haven't read her comics as Spoiler and Robin (partially because I know tragic things happen to her in them and that would make me horribly sad), but her run as Batgirl has basically been one long moment of total awesome. 

THINGS ABOUT STEPHANIE: ayries explanation of why she loves her on Tumblr, plus a little add-on from me. It addresses what I love most about Stephanie - she's not in this for the glory, or for revenge - she's in it for the people she helps, entirely, and she's here to bring hope to a line of work most of the Batfamily brings a gloom and despair attitude to. She never loses her smile. She may want others to approve of her, but their disapproval doesn't stop her from doing what she feels is her calling. She's still in love with Tim Drake, but when he comes back she realizes that starting up their relationship again would be about as far from healthy as it gets and tells him so, bluntly. 

THESE PAGES. long short short, Damian Wayne, the current Robin, is a 10-year-old raised to be an assassin. Upon Stephanie working with him on a mission which makes her realize a) how desperate he is for Batman's approval and b) that he doesn't know how to play, she takes him to a MOON BOUNCE. read it! 

this happens during an earlier team-up with Robin and Batman:





also I made icons! and a softer world remix thing!








(and may have her entire run so far available to me. um. you know.)

Cassandra's apparently confirmed to appear in an upcoming Red Robin storyline, and again in the Batman: Gates of Gotham miniseries, which I know nothing about. But I will be finding out and reading it for her. :D

:D :D So exciting!

Thank you so much for all of this!! :D :D :D

I warn you, if you don't stop me I will shove all of Batman and Robin and Red Robin on you too. it's a disease, okay.

If it's a disease I don't want the cure! :D If you want to share them, I will read them enthusiastically!

And Batwoman is in Batman Inc. Issue #4 and soon more, I believe. So that's pretty awesome. :D And apparently Batgirl is due to show up in the current Supergirl arc, along with Robin?

Yayyyyyyyy!

Here's everything I have of Red Robin, including the Adventure Comics issue where Superboy hunts him down for help and the Teen Titans issue that concludes his crossover with them. (The new Teen Titans #93 has him in it, and even more excitingly it has a new East Indian character in it who's joining the team. :D She was first introduced in Wondergirl #1, and she seems really lovely so far.)

Here's 1-16 of Batman and Robin.

And here's a reliable torrent link someone gave me of a ridiculous amount of Batgirl adventures, including a lot of old Barbara Gordon ones and a lot of Cassandra Cain ones.

Enjoy! Feel free to flail at me! I am ALL for flailing with someone over this newly discovered treasure trove.

Thank you!! :D :D I am so coming back here and downloading everything once I've sorted out some things with my computer and filing taxes. btw, what program do you use for torrent downloads? I used to use Azureus but issues with the registry in my computer mean the program no longer loads for me.

I use something called uTorrent? I ... don't remember where I found it, actually.

Ah thank you! I found the official website, will try that sometime.
