Interesting, then. That means his fanbase there must have grown since I last perused Tumblr for Duke content a couple years ago. (There was a few solid stuff, but not much. There was this one fan artist who liked a drawing their headcanon of Duke and Jason as gay-coded friends. Many of them were nice, but it was still a fanon take, though perhaps more unique than the typical fanon take of Duke and other Batman Family members. Didn't seem like as many were interested in a more canon-faithful spin on Duke/Signal, and that's when you were lucky to find someone interested in the character at all.)

And cool/insightful/fun posts you can link? (What's the relevant tags for someone who searches tumblr sans account?)

I don't mean to oversell, while the fanbase is more consistent than before but it's not a ridiculous degree. still a lot of fanon stuff, I typically avoid that stuff, but more art is posted regularly. i usually just check the "#duke thomas" tag consistently and see what pops up. because people are followers lol I find posting Duke content myself tends to keep the tag alive, whether it's my little headcanons and theories or just panels which him in it. I'm gonna probably start linking more stuff from there over here soon.

A year-old fanart of Duke in his We Are Robin clothes. Love that smooth, slick swagger!

I love this future Duke concept! a perfect combination of Future's End, his nameless era, and his Signal suit.

Holy crumb, these are sweet and sexy!

I love the fun and cool hairstyles some of them have for Duke. 24 year-old Signal is boss!

This bio always gets me for including an aspect of his character that doesn't exist. It's from an AU that reimagined and reworked Duke's character in a way that was... decidedly less than his canon history. They made him a mechanic there.

Agreed. It's super cute.
