I love Steph's origin as told in the Secret Origins 80 page giant- I just overall think it strengthens her character by giving her a lot of pathos and adding to her heroism (which isn't something writers were focused on in her actual intro in detective comics #647 since she was just meant to act as a plot device back then) BUT there is one tiny detail in it i will begrudge, and that is the portrayal of her having a minor love at first sight moment for tim

Secret origins 80 page giant, ID in alt

(or well, technically this was their second meeting in that story (the brick was the first) so...love at second sight?)

Mostly because Stephanie showed no interest in her introduction and only showed romantic feelings towards Tim AFTER this moment here:

Robin (1993) #4, ID in alt

Straight up the progression here goes:

The adventure in 'tec where they first meet -> Tim investigating the same crime scene as Steph -> she beats him up not knowing it's him at first, apologizes but says he shouldn't have scared her -> he remembers her/the moniker she goes by -> they talk about plot for a few pages -> Stephanie starts flirting

Robin (1993) #4, ID in alt

Which...is so fascinating to me and says so much about Stephanie. She highlights the fact that Tim "remembered" her. Like. Steph. Girl. This is our bar? It's sweet but kind of speaks to how much Stephanie is ignored at home/how little and sporadically she's shown interacting with her peers (and rarely ever the same kids twice). Her idea of peak romance is just...being on someone's mind even when you're not there.

Kind of also adds layers to Steph's proclivity towards jealousy later on, a manifestation of her insecurity and loneliness (though don't get it twisted, she's not written this way bc Dixon and co think it's an interesting character flaw, they wrote it bc they think it's an inherent character flaw of (particularly young) women/girls, which is very apparent in how he approaches Ariana's character as well from what I've read)

Also the fact that Steph becomes so smitten for Tim almost immediately after this is (a few issues later she aggressively flirts with him during AN ACTIVE HOSTAGE SITUATION. WHERE SHE'S THE HOSTAGE) again is kind of a mixture of kind of funny and sad. One boy is nice to her once and she's fully ready to wife him. Girl you are deranged (affectionate) (concerned)

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #stephanie brown #tim drake #timsteph #meta #< ??? ig #robin 1993 #made this post and forgot to finish. saved it in drafts. saw posts that annoyed me. proceeded to finish it #the subset of fans who think they're doing a righteous feminism by giving steph more flaws than she has in canon...headaches #yes flawed female characters are important representation no i dont think you projecting chuck dixons conservative values onto her- #-is doing her character a great favour. if so you need to commit to the bit and make tim a stone cold nark /j #sorry okay im done vaguing. there's real things going on in the world that matter. the bad take is the mind killer etc etc #anyway the zero to 100 progression of early timsteph is fascinating. on the one hand i know it's mostly a product of its time #both in terms of portrayals of romance (esp teen romance) and partially of women and girls by dixon (not extremely boy obsessed- #-but there's a. dark shadow of the boy crazy trope. a gentle whiff of it in the air. just a little) #but bc this aspect isn't blatantly/egregiously author bias i choose to analyse it #i could also analyse how steph in general is portrayed as liking guys she can't/shouldn't have a little #(her crush on the much older detective in bg2009 and also tim a little bit w/ the secret identity thing) #(but that's a whole other discussion. also that aspect of the romance in bg2009 is. also a little sexistly motivated- #-and also dropped part way through to an extent so like..not exactly ripe for analysis) #ANYWHO i love you Steph <3 you're unwell and yet so adorable and compelling Steph <3

okay I keep seeing people talking about how bi-han slander takes the form of "he is evil beyond redemption, his actions can never be justified no matter what, he is a villain" but most of the gross misinterpretation I see on this site is more "he did absolutely nothing wrong and could never be mean to kuai liang and canon is wrong actually and if you disagree then you just don't Get Him like I do 💅". which I thought was a joke at first??? why are y'all trying to take away his teeth??? enough character analysis posts that are just bending him into the shape you want him to be. please. he's misguided, yes, he's also a bitch. sure he wants what's best for the clan but he's also so selfish that he thinks Everyone Else is wrong and refuses counsel. he's ambitious to a fault and made a stupid ass decision. OWN IT

#LIKE GODDAMN. no nuanced takes ass website #motivations don't excuse Anyone's actions #dude isn't evil but he is an antagonist #i get it too i'd also be like fuck you liu kang. doesn't mean it's right or good. doesn't mean saddling himself with shang was smart #where are these people saying he's objectively evil. i have never in my life seen them. this is a hugely beloved character #christ. #mk #yeah i'll stick tags on this. whatever #mortal kombat #bi-han #sub zero #DISK HORSE SORRY #mk1 spoilers

Maybe this doesn’t need to be said, but Im feeling awful about it, so -- to any mutuals that might notice Im not following them anymore, I'm sorry about that. I've just seen too many posts on my dash that I have no way of blocking because they're not tagged in any way and they're distressing enough it's turning one of the only places I considered a safe space not safe for me anymore. So for my own mental health, I had to unfollow. I Will refollow in the future and I still love y'all, but I just-- I can’t. Ive been noticing some very worrying stuff about my mental and emotional state and it's just too much currently. I hope it's at least an understandable decision, and I wish y'all are having a good day out there 💗

#personal #I know its important to keep up with current events #but life overall's been a bit too much for me lately #I should prob go back to my therapist #I haven’t seen her since I went back to uni #for one because I didn’t know my schedule when we last meet and we both thought this should balance me #finally having purpose again and doing what I actually enjoy #but I also don’t have a job now so its costs and... I don’t know #but I probably should now that Im thinking maybe its time to actually get medicated for real #tho first maybe I should just visit my family doc and ask for those vit d supplements my therapists talked about #see if thats gonna be enough #autumn (and winter) has always been an awful time for me in terms of mental and emotional health #but it feels even worse these days #like Im battling against depression every day recently and rarely anything works to distract me #which is why its been hard to get back to peels in dms and such too #I was meant to meet with a friend now that Im studying in a city she lives in but I have yet to get back to her #and it feels like I have not only Zero but like Negative energy and motivation #+ Ive been dealing with an upset stomach for Weeks now #no matter what I eat it feels weird and achy and barely anything tastes good for me already so now its even worse #anyway this turned into such a rant Im sorry #I just didn’t want the lovely peeps Ive been mutuals with for a long time to think I stopped liking them or smth #its just certain untagged posts that I would otherwise block if I could #and I dont wanna impose onto anyone like a 'rule' to tag them or whatever #so yeah this is just temporary #hopefully at some point I get better enough to survive the couple distressing posts heh...

I'm having this little sleepover-esque thing with one of my friends (she came with me to get this tattoo so we are sharing an Airbnb together) and it's so fucking fun. Just chilling in bed and chatting about our lives and shit.

#i was recalling my early days on the internet #on neopets and here on tumblr #also bro i rizzed up so many girls in those early days - why did I do that #like lmao imagine this tiny ten year old child on the internet rizzing up 16 year old girls from across the world #why did i have so much rizz #why did i do that #and the girls ate it up cuz i was so fucking respectful and literally had zero ulterior motives other than wanting them to feel good #imagine #lmao fun ass memories so fucking funny #i was a funny little kid

trying to write after like. i don't even know how long? and it feels like getting tore to pieces by a torture machine in some circle of hell but yes :) writing is my favourite hobby :) i love writing so much :)

#zero motivation zero will to keep writing but many insidious thoughts :)))))))))) #can you believe real life shitty events have the power to take a toll on your creative motivation too? the more you know! #:)))))))) #i've been wanting to do nothing but sleep since the beginning of the month i'm so fucking tired and i hate having to make decisions #feeling that weight in my stomach from the moment i wake up to the moment i go to bed #and then repeat! #feeling guilty bc you're not being productive productive but also feeling guilty if you do or don't do smth hobby-related like writing #so you just want to sleep because guess what! it's the only time you feel at peace with yourself and the world! #and real-life decisions make you nauseous and paralysed with fear so you can't bring yourself to do anything! and the guilt increases! #this was supposed to be a silly post about writing being hard but i guess this is officially a rant #but also like. yeah. not really going far with my writing in this mental state! :) #to delete

[sixofravens-reads]

I've hit this fun mental block where none of the books left on my 2023 TBR interest me very much, and I keep looking at aaaalllll my other books and going "why don't you just read one of them?" But my brain is like, "NO! new books are for good readers who finish their goals!!"

#anyway ive been 'reading' dalamar the dark for like 3 days and im on page. 5. #zero motivation to read #thinking about goals for next year. they're gonna be much more open-ended #'read these 82 books in a year' was a good idea until i had 14 books left and wasn't in the mood for any of em #anyway. just complaining. i don't think there's a solution here except not forcing myself to read and seeing if my brain comes around #im also doing nanowrimo (badly) and work has been stressful so that kills the reading desire #i HAVE been enjoying watching movies/tv lately though which is unusual but nice for a change #thinking about reading

[cocoalatez]

Idea for @bunnieswithknives two of us au which ive been thinking about for a while:

Red's been alone in the machine room for a long long while, but one day, Duck just shows up there. Idk how he got there (maybe he glitched in or something) but he chills with red for a bit and then leaves

Later, he comes back. They chat again and he leaves, and this becomes a consistent routine. It's the first person red's talked to since he last saw david, and the first person he can really call a true friend(because a certain person certainly isnt anymore)

Duck tells him about the world and what he thinks of it. Red already knows all about it, since he can see everything through the machine, but enjoys listening to him nonetheless.

Sometimes duck just explores the room and tells red about like what the backside of the machine looks like and sometimes duck climbs on top of red's head and just sits there looking into the dark horizon.

Not a lot happens in red's life, but this is the one thing he always looks forwards to, day to day

Eventually when they escape duck and Red stick together since they help each other do what the other cant (duck cant do a lot of things on account of being so small, and red's memory problems interfere with normal life a lot more than duck's do)

What yall think?

#dhmis #two of us au #been thinking about this since grrgrrgrr made those two comics #cuz i wanted to draw this but also like i have zero motivation #two of us!red #two of us!duck
