Forever obsessed with how the Blackest Night Batman tie-in and Red Robin #12-14 emphasize that Tim, even at one of THE absolute rockiest points in their relationship, instantly picks up the phone when Dick calls, comes home when he asks, and trusts him on a dime (and receives that trust in return from Dick)
Like Tim is really out here in a self-destructive depressive spiral pushing everyone away and ignoring their calls and attempts to help him and he STILL picks up the phone when Dick calls! I'm obsessed!
The amount of love, trust, and respect Dick and Tim show for each other even in the absolute bombshell fallout that is the aftermath of Final Crisis/Battle for the Cowl is ASTOUNDING, and the fact that more people don't talk about it in favor of pretending Dick and Tim were at each other's throats during this era...awful. I refuse to let it stand. They're brothers, Your Honor! They love each other to bits even when they're hurt and miscommunicating!
Tim grew exactly one (1) inch while Bruce was dead and he’s stayed that height ever since.

And if things go as they should he will stay around 5’6” forever and never reach 6’0” <3

Further evidenced by the height difference when regular Tim would’ve been about 5’5” compared to evil future adult Tim, who looks maybe 5’7” or at most 5’8”:

Just like that, it was as if they were back on their first mission together that rainy day in Thanalan. Just the two of them. Urianger insisted.
Thancred feels similar to how he did then. Oh, how Phoenyx used to fawn over him, too nervous to admit how he felt. Thancred reveled in it, not realizing that he’d fallen for him as well until it was too late. How deeply he yearns for him now as he once did all those years ago. It should be easier. After all, they spent some time in a relationship before his soul got swept into the First. But now, plagued by the fear that grew in the five years without him, he knows not where to begin again.
Phoenyx is right there in front of him, standing amongst the sparks shedding from the endless Light above them... and yet, he’s never felt so far away.
Ask game title: You can't believe you fell for these lies
So this is one of the downsides of living in a xianxia world in your previous life: you fall for some very obvious lies.
Aka PIDW cast is reborn to Modern China and they... take longer than most children to figure out that Santa Claus is actually not a real person.
Hey, there were plenty of immortals who stay up in their mountains in their previous life. They were part of that group after all. Who says that this modern China can't have hidden immortals hiding up in the North Pole too? Plus, the Cang Qiong peak lords were more than aware of how mortals would make up fake stories that exaggerate the abilities (and kindness) of the immortals, so they just... assumed the stories of Santa Claus were 90% fake, but the person actually existed.
Let's not even talk about the Easter bunny (a suspected rabbit demon).

apparently liking all of the Batfamily members and appreciating what they each bring to both the family and the mythos is an unpopular opinion in some circles
Dick tries so hard but he will literally enter a room as Batman and people will go “hey you’re not Batman.” Way to lord it over his head that he will never be as tall as his dad…
This sabertooth descends from ancestors who must have hopped from island to island in the early Pleistocene. It is not so large by the standards of saber-toothed cats, hunts in ambushes and can bring down animals weighing up to a ton. It produces a loud roar to proclaim its territory, this call resembling a louder version of a man sawing a log.
Chondar has a coat of tan fur, with a brown mane around the neck and shoulders similar to an African lion, but unlike lions, the brown coloration of his mane also extends over his head and face. Like the island's cave bears, this saber-toothed cat has become accustomed to living in the highlands to avoid competition with the larger theropod dinosaurs of the grasslands. Unlike bears, these cats have to rely on a mostly carnivorous diet, so they have to constantly hunt highland mammals and birds.
