cassie's big gay crush on cissie is the absolute opposite of "get out of my school" energy. arrowette announces her retirement and cassie's immediately like "no you can't leave my school the team. stay with me. come back. come back and play interplanetary death baseball with us. come back. are you suuuuure you're retired? come back."

the "jack finds out tim is robin and instead of steph sneaking around (because why would she if i don't plan on killing her off), tim asks her if she'd like to be robin and when she says "yes" and bruce says "no", they do it anyway, with tim becoming her man-in-the-chair/oracle knock-off" au. title might be a little long lol

SHE IS THE FUNNIEST PERSON EVER OMG

Crystal: Since when have you started watching crime shows? Steph: How else am I ever gonna see dad? Sorry, mom. Bad joke.

Therapy dog Cass is an abomination but Cass absolutely would be that friend who notices whenever someone's going through it and wants to do something to help. The issue being she's really bad at this so she just thinks of what always makes her happy and winds up shoving a chocolate ice cream cone in their face and blurting out, "hey, feel better. Okay?" in a way that sounds a lot more like a threat than a reassurance before quickly grappling away to avoid further awkwardness.

I do find the idea funny that Cass is actively nerfing herself by copying Batman's fighting style here and her powerup moment is in deciding "I can't do it Bruce, your style is just too weak and lame I'm sorry" and then swapping back to her own style and winning instantly.

The Fandom: Tim is okay with murder.

Tim:

- Red Robin

"It's numbing to think about it. Life means nothing to these killers. Is it irony? That a man so desperate to live forever [Ra's Al Ghul] surrounds himself with death? That the greatest killers in the world are now being killed themselves? Part of me says they deserve it. They're reaping what they sow. But I push the thought aside. If that's how we worked, the Joker would be dead a thousand times over. That's the rule, and I hold on to it. I'm going to hold on to it forever, no matter what."

(He isn't okay with murder actually)

[stephaniebrownthespoiler]

also i think there's a tendency to cherrypick tim's moments of morally grey thought musings as a gotcha for the idea that tim is totally cool with murder and just one bad day away from shanking someone only kept in line by the "rules", when in reality. tim's thoughts of moral greyness, the ruminations on what they're doing and why they're doing it the way they do and why they can't cross the line they set. he's not. alone in that. like. at ALL. dick has reckoned with wanting to kill someone (sigh. the joker). dick lowkey didn't want to give someone a chance at redemption simply because he hurt bruce (bane). bruce has thought about killing (and almost killed) both the joker & black mask. bruce is very frequently ruminating on his role and why he can't kill even if he wants to. barbara has very seriously considered killing and has wanted to kill. cassandra has killed and used that as the basis of her staunch belief that nobody dies tonight, but she's also still in frequent conversation with what that means ethically and morally. tim having doubts or trying to remind himself why they do what they do or debating their rules to himself is not some grand outlying abnormality here, it's par for the fucking course.
