I really appreciate the fact that Damian only interacted with The Joker 3 times in canon and each time he either A) beat him senseless with a crowbar B) stabbed him in the foot with a screwdriver and tried to choke him with his own hands and C) just straight up ran over him with the Batmobile
Jason: *Posts a super low-quality image to the group chat*
Duke: if I had a dollar for every pixel in that meme, I’d have 15 cents
Jason: If I had a dollar for every ounce of rage I felt in my body after I read this text, I would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you
Tim:: actually I did the math, Duke would have $225, not $0.15.
Duke: bruh i’m right here....
Cass: If I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda :)
Damian: while you’re there could you buy me an apply juice please?
Cass: Sorry I only have a dollar
Damian: >:/
Dick: Hey I just realized Tim's wrong, Duke would have $22,500 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent
Tim: fuck off
Cass: If I had $22,500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice :)
Dick: You can buy anything you want with $22,500
Jason: Yeah and she wants soda and apply juice
Tim: apply juice to what
Cass: Directly to the forehead
Dick: Great chat everyone

THIS IS SO FUCKING ACCURATE
i made a nanbaka version of this meme
Una probadita de lo que está por venir.
i know this is a post from this site but the instagram comments didn’t disappoint
bonus
the way this made me notice the attention to detail in the manga,, i didn't even clock that because he's not transforming anymore so his hair would go back to normal
I miss Okarun's initial haircut, I feel like it had more personality than the generic messy hair he's been drawn with recently
I think what I really like about Link Click is the emotional maturity of its characters. Granted, our protags are all adults, and so we expect them to react to serious situations with more emotional intelligence than a child or teenager (even if they are goofy in other circumstances), but I really liked how Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang never truly blamed each other for their actions. If this were a more generic/trope-y story with teenagers as the protags, we would probably see the two split and monologue dramatically about their ideologies and how the other is wrong (Lu Guang for focusing too much on the “big picture” of events, and Cheng Xiaoshi for being too emotionally invested in each client’s life). But besides Cheng Xiaoshi’s (justified) outburst of pain and anger after what he experienced from eps 3-5, he never blames Lu Guang for trying to be neutral, because he understands deep down that Lu Guang is right to a degree, and that they can’t fundamentally shift the past if they want the world to exist as it is now. Cheng Xiaoshi is also responsible enough to see and acknowledge the negative consequences of taking independent action from Lu Guang’s instructions while in the photos. He never uses the differences between him and Lu Guang to create a rift between them, because he trusts Lu Guang, has a deep friendship with him and Qiao Ling during a period of his life when he had no one else, and knows that Lu Guang is ultimately looking out for his (Cheng Xiaoshi’s) safety. There’s no drama and misunderstanding for the sake of drama and misunderstanding, because they have the same goal of helping their clients and friends to the fullest degree possible.
Additionally, Lu Guang, despite looking like the trope of “cold/detached/cruel white-haired boi who is juxtaposed with his emotional dark-haired counterpart,” is very much empathetic and driven by his emotions himself. When Xu Shanshan goes missing, he immediately takes the lead to find her, because he knows Cheng Xiaoshi is in a terrible emotional state and doesn’t want him to get hurt. Lu Guang isn’t above being silly and enjoying Cheng Xiaoshi’s and Qiao Ling’s company. He always tries to protect Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling, just like Cheng Xiaoshi always tries to protect everyone he meets. And his reserved nature seems to stem from loneliness and the burden of seeing the inevitability of outcomes in the clients’ photos rather than “edginess.” I think a nice example illustrating his personality is in the chibi specials:
Even though it’s a silly episode, like all the chibi specials, this is a nice microcosm of all the stress that Lu Guang needs to take on whenever he looks into a photo. He needs to be the calm one who guides Cheng Xiaoshi through the photos, because he knows Cheng Xiaoshi will be experiencing all of the unwanted turmoil of whomever he possesses. Even when he sees the misery of others, Lu Guang has to push that aside in order to ensure that he can at least save one person (the client or whomever he knows can be saved within the photo’s timeline). And considering how quiet he is by nature, Lu Guang has likely kept this burden all to himself. Yet Lu Guang never turns his back to helping someone when it is possible for him to do so.
That is to say, I fucking love Link Click and its wonderful characters - the writers, VAs, animators, etc. really knew what they were doing and they honestly deserve so much more credit for this show
Here we have it folks
Anyways I think this is my favorite adition to Damian's character in a long while
