Top 50 OTPs of All Time ☆ #49. Amy Pond & Rory Williams

"All those boys chasing me, but it was only ever Rory. Why was that? You know when you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later, they're as dull as a brick? Then there's other people and you meet them and you think 'not bad, they're okay.' And then you get to know them and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality's written all over it, and they turn into something so beautiful. Rory's the most beautiful man I've ever met."

#doctorwhoedit #amypondedit #rorywilliamsedit #amy x rory #doctor who #50otps #* #this will flop bc none of my followers watch this show #neither did i rly but i loved them w all my heart #thank god the writers never listened to that fuckass fandom and always made it clear where amy's heart was #all of those quotes make me absolutely insane but the caption has got to be one of my favorites of all time #that whole episode did more for a ship than maybe any other episode ever

"Durge and Astarion are canon your honor!"

Well canon Durge is a white male dragonborn sorcerer and yet y'all are making cute little drow girlies and sexy little tiefling twinks to get at that extra content so what's the truth?

Oh that your personal preferences are somehow more canon than someone else's because the devs didn't have enough time to write extra content for every companion, leaving an unfair and imbalanced emphasis on the one character that did get extra content? That you feel your choices are validated because they're reinforced by poor planning/game design? Hmm. Hmm. Hmmmm 🤔

#bg3 #bg3 fandom critical #btw i have every iteration of durge x astarion blacklisted because of these sorts of girlies #'my already popular ship is actually canon because the writers felt the need to prioritize the wants of his obnoxious fanbase #instead of spreading the effort evenly!' is not the win you think it is #personally i'd give up all of durge x astarion content for more just REGULAR wyll content like it's unbelievable #more KARLACH and maybe an ending that isn't so fucking SHIT for her?? #fuck man even minthara?? #astarion girlies get a single critical thinking skill fr fr #also noah fence but 'uwu durge and astarion are narrative foils' is such a braindead take #cuz durge just has the same narrative of breaking free of a higher power that manipulates them as the REST OF THE COMPANIONS #literally none of them are more uwu canon than the others #the only reason you think that is because someone else did the thinking for you and put it in the game and spelled it out for you

Supercorptober 2022

I did write a couple one-shots for supercorptober2022 but never posted. Better late than never, right!!

I had hoped I’d have more to post but writers block is still kicking my butt. I’m gonna leave it as unfinished bc I want to try to keep doing prompts in hopes of breaking through this block. So in no particular order, here you go!

Day 1 - Summer

Read on AO3

Kara loves every season. In fall the air feels fresh and crisp and perfect for flying. There’s cozy drinks and cozier sweaters. There’s halloween and thanksgiving - the beginning of all Kara’s favourite holidays and the perfect excuse to get together with friends and family. In winter there’s a sense of quiet that blankets the city, everything sounds softer, more muffled in winter. There’s ice skating and hot chocolate, and the city lights up in all different colours the closer it gets to christmas. There’s a sense of hope and new beginnings that comes every year at New Year’s that Kara absolutely loves. Then there’s spring with all the new life starting to come back, and the sun starts to get warmer and Kara knows that summer is right around the corner. The season of sunbathing as she floats on the wind. Late night bonfires and camping and surfing.

Kara loves every season, but she can’t think of any season she loves more than summer right now.

Not when Lena came already dressed for their impromptu trip to the beach. Objectively, she knows they all agreed to leave first thing this morning so it was unlikely that Lena would have a reason to come dressed in her trademark skirt and heels. But it never occurred to Kara that meant Lena would come dressed in something else instead.

It never occurred to her that going to the beach with Lena would mean going to the beach with Lena in a bathing suit. That it would mean seeing Lena in a bathing suit.

The bathing suit in question is relatively modest - a black one piece with a scooped neck. It’s the stark contrast against porcelain skin and the sheer cover-up tied around her waist that has Kara slowing to a pause midway through pushing her surfboard into the back of the jeep. Her hands slip on the smooth surface as she takes in Lena’s loose waves, her fingers twitching with the desire to sink into the dark locks and find out if it feels as thick and soft as it looks.

She can’t pull her eyes away as Lena pushes her hair back with her oversized sunglasses to meet Kelly with a hug and a laugh. Her eyes dance in the morning sun as she laughs at Kelly’s antics as she tugs at Lena’s skirt, turning her cheeks a lovely shade of pink.

Kara’s so busy watching Lena she completely misses Alex trying to load a second surfboard around her until the end accidentally hits her in the head.

“Hey!” Kara pouts as she rubs the back of her head dramatically and scowls at her sister.

“Oh come on, you barely felt that.” Alex brushes her off as she gives the surfboard one more shove and dusts off her hands looking proud of herself as she inspects the trunk.

Kara sticks her tongue out at the back of her sister’s head, blushing when she catches Lena watching her with a raised brow. Kara helplessly shrugs a shoulder as she tries not to look too embarrassed, grinning when Lena chuckles and turns back to Kelly.

She manages to finish loading her surfboard before she's distracted again. This time she stares at Lena without really looking at her, her figure becoming a blur in the background as she imagines Lena stretched out under an umbrella thumbing through a magazine. Probably something sciency that makes Kara want to try to distract her. She's so caught up in her daydream of all the ways she could distract Lena that she doesn't see the real one approaching her.

"Kara?" Lena's voice bleeds together with her daydream.

"Kara." The sharper tone makes Kara blink, slowly focusing on Lena's concerned face."Alex asked if you're ready to go. Are you okay?"

"Yup. Yeah. Peachy." Kara freezes, her back ramrod straight and eyes wide. "Not pea- yes, yeah, I'm ready. We should go."

Kara wrenches the jeep door open and waits expectantly for Lena to climb in. She tries not to watch as her friend slides across the seat before she clambers in without a thought, leaving Alex standing on the driveway holding out the set of keys she had begged Alex to give her earlier that morning.

"I don't think she cares about driving anymore." Kelly whispers dramatically as she fails to smother a smile and gives her wife's arm a loving squeeze.

Day 10 - Ice Day 12 - Evening Day 6 - Leaves

I don’t write Hobie as someone struggling with addiction because he’s black i write him like that because of nearly everything ELSE about him, both movie and comic-wise, but because he’s black he’s more likely to have be targeted by companies/people pushing/forcing more drugs onto him even if he’s trying to quit, and then denied the help he needs and demonized for it, which makes him struggle more with it. u get what i’m saying??? It’s like how i don’t write Miles G. as more aggressive and cold because he’s black, but because of his general life situation. But because he’s black, other people in his life might’ve reinforced these ideas that he was naturally going to behave this way, and you can only hear something about yourself so much (and at a young age too) before you begin to believe it, even a little, and then don’t see reason to fight it even if it’s not true. sorry if i’m not explaining this too well, but you see what i mean????

#to elaborate more on miles g: #like as a black guy when u are growing up without a father you are told to be the man of the house #you are automatically seen as aggressive or older than you really are #and you will be forced to adhere to these ideas . even from other black people #and with Miles G’s dad having been dead for a while already #of course his mom doesn’t force that man of the house idea. but you know that he wants to help and this can easily lead into that idea #and aaron might not be. the best with that? we don’t know him so i can’t say for sure lmao #but yes none of their negative traits is because of these boys being black. it’s made WORSE by racism of course but none of this started + #because they are black. this could happen to anyone #so just yknow keep. what you’re writing in mind when you think of this. because are you doing it because you see black people as + #inherently (x)? watch out for that! no writer will ever be perfect ! #hobie brown #spiderpunk #spider punk #miles morales #miles g #prowler miles #the prowler #m&m posts

it’s fascinating to me that from a character-build perspective, only two of the bells have what I’d call main character energy: imogen and ashton. the difference is that imogen knows she’s a main character, and she’s furious about it. ashton, meanwhile, is operating under the assumption he’s a bit player and wondering why they keep getting punched in the face by the Narrative

#to be clear !! this isn’t claiming they’re better or worse/more or less interesting than the other bells #just as a writer they’re the two one could most #easily position as the protagonist of a three-act screenplay or book #one of my favourite things about dnd is its format allows characters whose entire build says ‘I am a secondary character’ (orym my beloved) #have their stories honoured and explored to a degree that traditional publishing or other entertainment media would never offer #it’s just funny to me that ashton is Such A Protagonist and he has no idea. none #critical role #bells hells #imogen temult #ashton greymoore #cr3 #knightblogging

I wasn't really paying attention as it was happening because it was gradual but now it's so odd looking through the kotlc tag because like...where did all the fic go? There used to be so much more fanfic in the tag and now there's an empty space where it used to be. I'm. gonna to go read some fic and support some writers <3

#kotlc #kotlc fandom #that's not to say there's none. but like. there is so much less than there used to be #we've got shitposts and fanart and analysis from time to time #but there isn't really just fics in the tag in the same way anymore #and I. definitely haven't been helping #i don't read a lot of fic but I want to support other writers #like where did we go #gonna put in the effort to read more fics #I think. it would be pretty neat if others joined me :)

[patrice-bergerons]

I have so many ideas I could explore for Jack and Ianto but the thing is they are hardly the only ship I care for and when I write for other fandoms and when 19 whole people kudos a new fic, they leave more than 2 words in feedback underneath. A single "loved this!" does not a writer feed, and sure, no one owes me comments, but I don't owe anyone fic either, and I would rather explore other, equally interesting, ideas i have for ships where people engage with my writing 🤷‍♂️

#writers are meant to suffer in silence when we dont get the engagement we would like but nah #i am making this post bc #(1) i have seen this happen time and again w/ so many other writers #and im not sure that the relationship between commenting and gettinf more of the fic you like is obvious to all readers #(2) it doesn't have to be like this. in fact ive been in other fandoms where new fic #is met with enthusiasm rather than a silent horde of kudosers #and that is where i shall head back tyvm #so sure maybe none of you care much for my fic and hence dont comment - that's fine! - #but if you find a writer whose works you do like and think oh man i hope they write more soon! #if you arent commenting at least some of the time #chances are they just might say toodaloo and dip as well

[end-orfino]

droners might have some flaws but i really think that if someone wants to write a proper rivals to lovers dynamic then they should study whatever hannah and corto have as a reference

#like just. i have heard a bunch of people complain about enemies to lovers dynamics sometimes accidentally turning out to just be toxic #because of the writers not nailing down the jackpot of the hostility from both parties being balanced #and also other reasons. and i myself have my own too. bcs its just not an easy dynamic to write #but genuiely so far? so far these two have none of these issues #their relationship goes from hating each other to considering each other a more respected rival to genuine friends in a great way that- #-doesnt feel rushed or unnatural #and they're unified by having far more similarities than you'd think they'd have at first glance. which was both why they hated each other #and why they work so great now that they're friends #AND their haterism towards each other back when they werent friends was very balanced and equal. they both hated each others guts lmao #and now that they're friends they still bicker but it was said directly that now its just how they act when racing is involved & theyre- #competing against each other. like that one 'best friends off court sworn enemies on it. athletes understand' meme #and outside of it they're genuiely friends and like each other #and EVEN DURING RACING. HAVE YOU SEEN THE MECHANIX RACE #their bickering during the race is pure fun for them they're LAUGHING TOGETHER it's so great #PLUS THE SHOW WENT OUT OF ITS WAY MORE THAN ONCE TO SHOW HOW WELL THEY CAN SYNCHRONIZE. #HOW WELL THEY CAN WORK TOGETHER. #i could say more. i could say more about them. but just know that the droners yuri is real #for the record though they're not. canon. i dont want to queerbait anyone on accident. #but i havent seen a single fan that wouldnt agree that they have something going on there #which even with a fandom this small is saying something

[good-beanswrites]

Chapter 3 is done! 👏 Tried to go for some more drama in this one, and even just between characterization and stuff it took a lot of working and reworking lol. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

#milgram #yuno kashiki #fuuta kajiyama #and featuring some others #im getting tired of putting things in the same boring rooms 😭 #I love playing around with setting/time of day/weather/props in my writing #and milgram lets me do virtually none of that!!!!! #we got like 4 identical looking rooms ughhh #im trying to get a little creative with the scenes but kudos to all the canon compliant fic writers - this shit is annoying 😅 #and yeah id actually started on this one earlier than 'we never stop' but didnt like it at first #i was excited to shuffle some sections and themes around so it was more coherent #fanfic

Vladimir: Did you ever read the Bible?

Estragon: The Bible... [He reflects.] I must have taken a look at it.

Vladimir: Do you remember the Gospels?

Estragon: I remember the maps of the Holy Land. Coloured they were. Very pretty. The Dead Sea was pale blue. The very look of it made me thirsty. There's where we'll go, I used to say, there's where we'll go for our honeymoon. We'll swim. We'll be happy.

Vladimir: You should have been a poet.

Estragon: I was. [Gesture towards his rags.] Isn't that obvious.

Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot (1955)

#samuel beckett #waiting for godot #modern theatre #theatre quotes #1955 #modern drama #Godot had been written in 48 and 49 in French‚ and premiered in 53 in Paris‚ where Beckett was based #an english translation didn't appear until 54‚ and Beckett took the opportunity to make small edits and some significant substitutions #there were also edits for censorship (theatrical censorship being fairly draconian in 50s Britain; even a name like Fartov was considered #too much by the Lord Chamberlain) and once Faber published their version in 56 there were yet more changes and omissions #alas I picked up a copy on my way to work (for reasons‚ my job currently entails a lot of sitting around doing not very much) and grabbed #my old Faber edition (a corrected version wouldn't be available in english until the mid 60s) so I'm working from a bastardized text #actually Beckett would continue to tinker with Godot for the rest of his life‚ so the jury's out on which if any is the 'correct' text #nevertheless I'm having a great time. it's over a decade since i read this‚ as a lowly undergrad‚ and had my socks blown asunder #Beckett's prose has lost none of its magic; a carefully choreographed dance in words between two people who can't see their own moves #it's tempting to read all manner of subtext and innuendo into Beckett's minimalist dialogue‚ but the writer himself always strongly #resisted attempts at micro analysis; in fact he bored pretty quickly of the attention this play in particular seemed to earn‚ and would #repeatedly downplay any philosophical or political interpretations of the play. that's not to say those ideas don't exist or that those #readings lack merit; a play is almost by definition a political beast‚ a play of this kind in this era in this place and time particularly #so. but if Godot is any one thing more than others‚ it's a joyous examination of the art of conversation about nothing; more than any other #playwright (excepting perhaps Pinter)‚ you get the sense that every syllable was precisely and carefully chosen by Beckett‚ every word #carefully weighed and considered before inscription. perhaps then Godot is not a play at all; perhaps it is a poem #in loose free form‚ a sprawling poem of multiple voices in discordant harmony. or maybe it isn't. what do i know #I'm just a tumblr blog

[espectres]

It’s hard to find blogs so dedicated to actually understanding the characters they write about !!! So I enjoy urs a lot :)) was wondering if u had any thoughts on ritsu (he is my personal favorite)

Hello nonnie!! Thank you sm for your kind words!!!! ｡ﾟ(＾ヮ＾)/♡ .°• I'm really glad you're enjoying my writing, I'm having sm fun around here myself !!

OOOOHH RITSU. RITSU!! It's been a while since i got a chance to be insane abt him, it's so obvious to anyone familiar with my mp100 hyperfixation that he's my second fave lol I always feel like he's the kind of character I'd struggle writing, there is so much to him that I'd want to study under a microscope forever to truely understand the depths of his really well-written character. But aside from the edge-lord sasuke-wannabe that surfaces ( and takes over most of the fanon portrayals, mind you ), I think Ritsu is such a loving boy who has been so troubled for a really, Really long time, and has managed to hide it all so well from everyone, and that last fact on its own is so tragic to me. I instantly felt so much sympathy for him, to constantly be in such pain & turmoil and still feel the need to hide your problems, from your schoolmates, from your siblings, from your parents, I think these are things a lot of people can relate to, including myself. It was mostly fear that made Ritsu hide all that time, and it's so fascinating to see how his spiral during big cleanup arc is just all the negative emotions that had been rotting him from within finally reaching the surface. And all of this rotting has shaped him into this "perfect" boy who tries to make up for some sort of lacking that no one besides himself seems to understand. Ritsu is literally one of the top ten students in all of fucking Japan and he doesn't give a damn about it, because in his world his brother & the things his brother can do has been his biggest aspirations, his brightest dreams! his worst nightmares! and if he can't do that, then what use are his achievements ? what to make of himself & every single thing about him that's so plain & powerless ? what is so wrong about him that stops him from being like his brother ? his frustrations and fears are literally so visceral istg it was sO CONCERNING to watch.

And between his trauma/fear and his imposter syndrome & trying to be the brother who makes up for whatever the other brother doesn't have ( perfect grades, perfect records, perfect reputation, perfect looks ) Ritsu never really lived normally despite being THE normal one of two, but it's been him & his isolation & all the horrors for so long!! That's why when he realizes & decides he wants to have fun in life I just kind of burst to tears ??? no more fear no more facades no more lies no more unspoken unbearable suffering killing him slowly !!!

Aside from me just wanting to cry forever over him, if u want any salt on the fandom I think everyone shld look a liiittle past the emoboy who's just there to look pretty & be sad- and try to find the kid who trusts & loves his brother so much & helps his mother do the dishes & likes to watch dramas & goes with his bestie on fishing becuz he doesn't like loud places. he also studies because he genuinely thinks it's fun. isn't he weird ??? isn't he so sweet when you think abt it ????

#tldr; RITSU 😭😭😭 #there is sm abt him to explore & i fall head over heels for writers who ACTUALLY TRY to do so !!!! #not to say there is none. ritsu is def doing better than shou when it comes to fanon #i downright hate fanon i want to burn him in the fire he thinks he can make #ritsu is a different matter..very tolerable tho idm #thanks again nonnie for letting me be insane abt my other fave boy!!!!!! shou & ritsu r very special to meeeee #𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇 ; inbox. #𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇 ; saved.

one of the worst parts of persona 5 is by far how it has an in-universe excuse to sexualize its underage female characters. and i say this because i have had men argue this very point to me—how ann’s sexualization is okay because there’s a reason for it, so it serves as a point in the narrative’s storytelling, and how ann’s character would have to be completely re-written to make sense within the canon.

because like. they’re right, to an extent. ann’s sexualization is part of a larger reasoning. the phantom thieves’ outfits and personas are a mirror to how they’re cognitively perceived in the real world. akira is joker, the wild card, because he’s new to his environment. no one knows his personality, who he is, where he came from, so he’s given every skill set in order to reflect that. ryuji is skull, the rebel, the brash troublemaker who’s nothing but a misfit, and his edgy, rough-and-tough thief outfit reflects that. they’re both products of society’s larger cognition. in that sense, yes, ann’s outfit perfectly reflects how her peers see her at the start of the game. to them, she’s kamoshida’s girl, the teenager hooking up with the much-older gym teacher, the weird foreigner who’s too good for boys her age. and her panther persona reflects that in its promiscuity—to them, ann is nothing but a pretty girl using her looks to her advantage. the point of the personas and phantom suits are largely that the world’s cognition of these characters is wrong, or not wholly accurate, so of course that also proves to be the point for ann. she follows every in-universe rule of the meta verse to a T.

but. that in-universe explanation had to be written by someone. a grown man had to sit down and write this 16 year old girl whose story revolves around sexual harassment and trauma, and decide that for the rest of the story, she would be nothing but eye-candy. it isn’t commentary that she rejects the notion, or that it’s incorrect in the end, because that is nothing but excuses written by the creators to get away with their creepy behaviour. they did not need to continuously sexualize her to prove their point. it isn’t commentary in the slightest because the writers themselves are actively doing the very thing they supposedly criticize and are “rallying against”, and if i have to argue with another grown man about basic media literacy and understanding of the meta i am going to lose it.

#icarus speaks #neg #crit #ask to tag #I HATE P5 WRITERS I HATE P5 WRITERS #me @ the writers: i know more than you. #ANN SHPULDVE GOTTEN A SECOND FIT!!!! #for the most part. none of the other characters perceptions change in the wider public #akira is always seen as the new kid ryuji is always seen the rebel etc #but ann HAS a change. the entire school realizes she was a victim. they no longer see her in that light #why the fuck does she keep looking like they do? #<- rhetorical. it’s bc they want to sexualize her.

Talking about the actual problems that comes with a person suddenly migrating into a different world altoguether in culture, customs, lenguage, writing, religion, diversity of food, clothes, people, temperature, climates, poverty, ethics, hygene, whats considered good, what considered bad, social customs ≠ cultural customs, body domman lenguage, simple greetings, complex conversations, modes of transport, safety, gender/sexuality/race/religion norms and prejudice, gas pollutions and technology, even the number of other immigrants from other religions and cultures all together in one place is SO UNDERUSED in isekai from all places where you expect that they woukd be even the tiniest bit interested in what its like, idk, living in another world.

#isekai feels more like how tourism than people actually migrating to a different world and making your life tgere #there* #i know its cuz its literally MEANT to not feel like a real world and more of a paradise you can escape from the actual real world #but call me crazy but it can actually be quite fun and an emotional expirience to learn about different cultures and history and even the #religion of other people while also showing its downsides and not just painting it a romantic picture #not to mention that if writers dont want to make all these new customs and lenguages and worlds from scratch too complex you can always #rely on looking at the outside and see how immigrants themselves have adapted to different places #and all these things also dont need to be always shown but the character who is an immigrant can tend to point out some basic things that #they didnt think about before coming to this new world #*in the back* GAS POLLUTION FOR FUCKS SAKE #NONE IN ISEKAI #rant

Not Reverse Robins or Scrambled Birds but a secret third thing: A Step to the Left.

Not  Dick > Jason > Tim > Steph > Damian, 

but Jason > Tim > Steph > Damian > Dick*.

But not only them. Every sidekick with a legacy name gets shifted one spot. (No I’m not counting the Golden Age because I’m not combing through that ).

This means that Jason’s Titans team is him, Mia (Speedy), Jackson (Aqualad), Cassie (Wonder Girl), and Bart (Impulse but y’know he was KF II in the comics).

The NTT team including Starfire, Changeling, Raven, and Cyborg stays the same since they’re the only ones with those names. Cass gets lumped in here because Jason actually wants to do college/is becoming disillusioned about cape life and the idea of Kori learning Cass's body language is too good to pass up.

Tim gets one (1) cape friend (because Jason only got one) and it’s Zachary Zatara because it has to be a d-lister who deals with that disaster Teen Titans era.

Stephanie gets Jon (Superboy), Yara (Wonder Girl II now), and Irey (Because guess what it’s Impulse on the team and not KF which means we get Impulse II). Secret, Cissie, Anita, Slobo etc. all stay the same.

Damian doesn’t get anyone until he becomes Batgirl.

Duke literally gets Damian’s exact canon team but it’s Kon instead of Jon and probably won’t end with them committing war crimes.

If the character in that placement dies in canon then the new character in that placement also dies (i.e. Jason dies so Tim will die/ Kon dies so Jon will die).

But there will be changes because these are different characters so not all of them would react the same.

For example, Jason and Cass are the first Robin and Batgirl, but Cass becomes Nightwing while Jason becomes Oracle because I feel like Jason generally fits Barbara’s character better than Cass does (which is a fucking shame because Oracle being someone named Cassandra should be a no brainer but yeah).

 Or how Barbara should be Batgirl number three, but it’s actually Damian because Cass would see their similarities between them and offer him Batgirl (which he refuses at first but after his disastrous run as Robin he sees how Batgirl would fit his strengths better).

 Also I refuse to believe that Jason and Cass would let Dick out as Robin so young so he’s benched until later and his place is taken up by Duke and instead of Leviathan it’s Gnomon.

#I actually have a lot of thoughts about this but I didn't want to word vomit it all up like I normally do #No lie Damian becoming Batgirl III was not planned but because it started off with Cass it honestly felt right #So now him and Stephanie parallel each other so much more than I planned with the whole 3 identities cycle of Original > R > BG> OG #Also Robins 1 3 and 5 (the ones who were actually focused on for a time) are all Gotham natives with strong ties to the people #So that feels right #Also also Mia and Jason both being on the same team and having similar traumas while comics were finally starting to tackle these things #Tim has to deal with all the shit Jason did including starting off as a Blonde Jason clone (hey Timmy Todd) #Being victim blamed for his death for nearly 20 years and brought back as a villain #Then left with writers who hate him and made him ugly *and* stupid #then left with Lobdell and having the fans of his teammates blame him and his fans for things that they had no control over #other notes I didn't put in include Cass's cover is that she's Jason's cousin via Willis who was adopted and it turns out to be true #Stephanie 'Ambiguously Gay' Brown with her team full of Women who can crush her like a bug #Cass 'Are you sure she's straight' Wayne and her Gal Pal Koriand'r #Jason and Bart's wild 50 years where they surprise everyone including the writers and editors #since none of their love interests stuck but the chemistry they had with each other was off the charts #so their friendship read more as a slow-burn annoyances to friends to lovers that was totally on purpose guys and became canon p52 #like right before the reboot because the writer was like "Fuck it we're rebooting anyways! #if you feel like it's unfair that Tim and Damian gets no friends remember that I didn't shift teams at all only the people in them #so they get dealt Jason and Stephanie's canon hands #Don't come at me with 'uhm Robin is DICK'S nam'e' that retcon happened 50 years after the character #I can do the exact same with any character #great another essay in the tags #azol's posts
