#steph: that's not what you said

[avayarising]

Headcanon that Robin!Dick's historical swearing construction 'Holy X, Batman!' derives from the way his parents swore, being some flavour of Eastern European Catholic who tended to swear by holy things, and it's actually his natural way of swearing. Adult!Dick can turn the air blue if he wants to, but in moments of extreme stress or distress he reverts to his childhood swears (and, thanks to his using them as Robin, sometimes has difficulty preventing himself from tacking 'Batman' on the end – this isn't an identity reveal because everyone assumes he's just referencing Robin).

Dick is driving Steph to college, or some other civilian journey, going across a narrowish bridge and they meet an enormous lorry absolutely barrelling down the other way, very much not keeping to its side of the road. Dick floors it towards the lorry to get past it before it drifts even further over, and there really isn't a lot of bridge…

Dick: AAAAAAAAA HOLY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BATMAN!

Steph, coming down from adrenaline rush as the lorry disappears behind them: What did you just say?

Dick: 😬

Steph: 😁

Duke: I think my cousin is catching on to my secret identity

Tim: Why don't you invent a fake uncle?

Duke: I...don't think injecting another relation into this would solve anything??

Steph: Tim. That bonkers plan worked once for, like, fifteen minutes. Stop bringing it up every time

#tim: wait till i tell my fake uncle about what you said. you'll be in sooo much trouble steph #it's my personal belief that tim either never shuts up about the faked a relative thing or just refuses to bring it up ever #and there's no middle ground at all. either everyone knows or Bruce brings it up over dinner and all his siblings are baffled as fuck #tim drake #duke thomas #stephanie brown #incorrect tim drake quotes

Everyone keeps pairing Danny up with the bat kids and I'm not even a shipper, but.

Pair him up with Steph,

Cowards.

#i am being 100% serious #Everyone says they don't care about the gender just the vibes #Okay well hear the vibes!! Steph and Danny would be THE MOST sarcastic chaos gremlins EVER #You KNOW that #They would be Literally unstoppable.

I asked Alfie to have his fave cookies ready to help calm him down but I think Damien got there first...' #'popcorn?' 'POPCORN' *Steph holds up a peace sign as Danny phases her invisible and through the floor. Making eye contact the whole time #The MEMES. The IRREVERENCE. The unrelenting sarcastic optimism.

Steph: Hey dad, can you pass me the salt?

Tim: She didn't!

Jason: Oh my god, she totally did

Cass: No...

Duke: [Snickering] Holy shit!

Bruce: [Passing the salt] Here, sweetie

Dick: He didn't!

#i love bruce and steph beibg awkward abt their not-father-and-daughter but also not-not-father-and-daughter relationship #but my new fav hc is that everyone is awkward abt it except for them #they dont care abt what they are to each other it doesnt matter that much #but literally everyone else is gushing abt it like “omg did u see? bruce said that steph isntbhis daughter” #“omg yeah but yesterday she called him dad and he tots accepted it” #idk #silly hc #i like steph and bruces relationship bc i think it kind of fluctuates in between stuff #but either way i like writing them in a way they CARE about each other #not ob a superficial level #like when i say care i mean “i would die for you” sorta way #dc comics #batman #dc #batfamily #batfam #stephanie brown #bruce wayne #the spoiler #dick grayson #jason todd #cassandra cain

the reason evangeline survived jacks’s kiss is because she’s a lesbian w an insane comphet crush atm, thus making her immune bc she’ll “never truly love him” (‘cause she’s, you know, 0% attracted to men), and in a month, she’s going to come out of the closet and they’re going to have an immensely awkward breakup. aaaaand send post.

#when i said i know what you are I DIDNT THINK STEPH WOULD WRITE A PLOT HOLE SO BIG THAT THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR IT IS EVA BEING A LESBIAN #like that wasn’t the power of love that saved the day… the only acceptable explanation is aurora/evangeline purple/pink lesbians. i’m…. #aurora would ACTUALLY be a good match for eva because she’s a) actually eva’s age and b) guys why are we acting like she’s irredeemably evi #jacks has done worse TO EVANGELINE in the books and he’s STILL a worse person #than aurora who never directly harmed eva 😭 literally all her villainy was actively traded for #she’s not a monster she’s jst a 17 y/o girl who doesn’t know how to talk to her crush #she’s the type of girl that sends eva a letter telling her to get out of her school because she doesn’t know how to deal w loving her 💀💀💀 #memorie.txt #.bookthoughts #author: stephanie garber #book: a curse for true love #GOD it sucked ass. completely ineffective as a ‘stunning conclusion’ and even as a book in general #OH ALSO insane that steph hates women so much… she hates them so badly she accidentally came around to writing them as lesbians #everyone in that fandom is also fucking TERRIFIED of gay ppl. god bless ur pink haired girl is sapphicsapphicgaygaygaylesbian 😘

what stuff can't you forgive batman beyond for? :o

Ugh OK. Disclaimer that none of these things make Batman Beyond bad. None of this is bad writing. I just don't like it. It's fine, actually, I just hate it.

I know Batman Beyond had to justify its existence somehow and answer the question "why is the ONLY PERSON who could become Batman a random teenager off the street?". There had to be some sort of reason why Bruce was completely isolated from Dick, Tim, and Barbara, and why Dick or Tim wasn't Batman.

The ways in which it got rid of them though!! Dick's like 60 and he hates Bruce and never speaks to him! Barbara's a cop, which she would never do, who had a thing with Bruce. Superman's infected by Starro so all of his friends at the League are out. And freaking Return of the Joker, oh my god. Putting aside the fucking sadness of Tim also never speaking to his dad and living an entire life pretending Batman and Robin never happened. COME ON. I really didn't like the "Terry is Bruce's secret kid" thing either, but that's less of a moral and more of a personal stance.

Sometimes a work is the most influential work in your writing completely against your will and without your permission. Return of the Joker traumatized me as a kid, and for some reason although I hate it SO FUCKING MUCH, it's permeated a lot of what I write with Tim. His death in the Reverse Robins thing was directly what happened in ROTJ, except he killed himself instead of the Joker. And I never even get into much detail on Tim's death there because it makes me sad.

Batman Beyond, you did not stop to consider those of you who were watching every DCAU cartoon sequentially, and who had come fresh off watching the most adorable small child run around doing Robin things in the final season of BTAS. You did not stop to wonder if he was a baby only a week before in my own mind. And now this.

DCAU!Batman had always been a lighthearted, kind person who had a robust support network. He had shipteasing. With Wonder Woman. It was really sad to see every good thing in his life stripped away and turn him withered, bitter, and old. Showing Batman in that light isn't bad in and of itself, but I was attached to this guy :c. Why hadn't they just set up another continuity where these characters didn't exist so they didn't have to worry about depressingly shoving them aside?

Oh, and. Just kidding. I can forgive them for all of this. I hate it, but it's fine. What I actually cannot forgive them for is for fucking Bruce and Barbara having an affair. Oh my god. Oh my god. Bad. So bad.

#in literally every way besides these ways batman beyond fucked hard #my asks #when I was like 16 I wrote some post-ROTJ Tim recovery fic through the judicious application of Steph #it wasn't bad tbh. I'd write a post-ROTJ recovery fic again #without any cocaine even. #terry handshake kyle rayner #so confusingly drawn as East Asian that I just deadass think they're Asian for way too long #I have no idea how or in what context I'd write Terry but I'd be down #it would really have to be in a “AU where Batfam died in an explosion 30 years ago” #(WHICH IS LESS DEPRESSING THAN WHAT HAPPENED) #or “AU where Batfam never happened” #if I were to go more comedic then it would just be because Bruce thought Robin would be an awful fucking idea #so he just has normal-ass children who do normal-ass things #and now dads end life crisis is letting a teenager be a superhero. you HYPOCRITE dad you said that was irresponsible. #the indignity of bruce having to be a regular old man. with grandchildren even.

Like talon dick au, league jason/tim au, meta literally anybody else, bruce treating tim the worst because he came after Jason, etc.

These are all themes and ideas you could explore with the characters they actually apply to and it’s not lost on me that such a heavily queer fandom ignores black and brown people and women so much in favor of white men who are canonically cops, or have classist ideals, or whatever. It’s not even the aus themselves that are bad (well. To you ig) it’s the fact that it’s so obvious that ur yearning for a specific character or story that’s already there and just waiting to be explored in full but you can’t see poc as people enough to do it.

Anything you write about talon dick can be explored through cass, league cracker aus through Damián, meta anyones through Duke, tim being hated through Stephanie. These are themes that ALREADY exist but y’all are so entangled in making white men kiss that u ignore them it’s so fucking weird. Even that ‘trying c+ parent’ thing with Bruce where he knows he’s paranoid and controlling but he knows statistically it helps but he also wants his family to be happy? Or him being the only smart competent person ever (🫥) and backbone of the JL? That could be Babs! READ BIRDS OF PREY!

Anyways it’s just so disingenuous like first of all I don’t believe anyone who says they don’t read enough ONLY to include Duke; not only bc it’ll be someone who’s self admittedly never read anything but also bc Duke is THEE easiest character to get into rn. I don’t believe people who write the aus above and have the characters they actually apply to as cardboard cutouts in the background have any care for said characters and I don’t believe that people who project their own “leftist” ideals onto white characters before even THINKING about a woman believe shit. That’s just me tho idc

#like no on that last point #sorry if you’ve ever written or drawn smth that’s about the robins but not about Steph #I believe u have more internalized misogyny left in u than the average person #if you’ve talked about ppl being trained by assassins or having a hard time emotion due to parental expectations #and ur not talking about cass or Damián? #ur talking about shit u MADE UP (bc I’m not gonna stop saying that Janet and Jack are MADE UP) for tim? #I believe you have more internalized racism than the average person. #and so on and so forth #idc what u preach online like it’s so obvious that u have to put effort into seeing us as people #which like great first step but then u think ur done? u think going ‘oh yeah dukes here too!’ #or ‘Bruce WAS mean to Steph…which means she gets how tim feels!’ #and u think that’s it? ur full of shit #obligatory this is not about character specific blogs #well to an extent like ​if u run a blog where u talk about Jason and nothing else but Jason idc about not including Duke #however when ur making posts and art about literally everyone else as well or u talk about those beats or aus up above that y’all made up #*loud incorrect buzzer* #Also #I’m not saying Babs is the only competent member of BOP far from it #I’m saying that the dynamics y’all give Bruce with the league is literally u yearning for oracle. #also on the I don’t believe anyone who’s said they haven’t read Duke #that’s like. in unison with everything else going on #u saying u don’t read Duke ALONE is not enough for me not to believe u it’s everything else stacked on it too

very important announcement: new @birdchildsnest fic!!!

#only the first few chapters have been posted but it already has many gems #''Bruce pressed a finger against his lip and stared at Tim like he was an unusual tire print at the scene of a bank robbery.'' #i love this sentence so much. top-tier bruce characterization. like an unusual tire print. that's how you know he's really paying attention #although a close second is ''That’s not how raising children works. If it were Alfred would have exchanged me ages ago'' sdfsfdsfs #i also really like the cass-never-updates-her-computer moment. cass you are NOT stupid :(((( it's okay!! you're okay!!! love yourself!!! #i esp. like how it's filtered through steph's pov so it's hard for us to tell exactly what's going on with cass except that she's defensive #also tiiiiim you should have a pet. accept a pet. you can have things. you are deflecting emotions so hard it's painful #janet muttering into her eggnog 'you hated your father' sdfdsfs bitterly-divorcing drakes are my favorite flavor #also damian hearing the tim-birthday story and immediately connecting it to terrifying talia challenges is inspired #the ''i win. you lose.'' and the tenth birthday challenge is so so good #'You know I can cook my own omelets' Jason said. 'Congratulations' Alfred intoned sdfdsfdsf

favorite batfam au is Talia Al Ghul Wayne. Shrike. butcher bird. she becomes a cryptid but she is not a poor little meow meow unlike her husband and his furry friend burglar. batfam at peak functionality. Damian is soooooo unstoppable

#oopsies joker gets skewered for looking at her son the wrong way #batman may cry a river about the killing but all it takes is one stern look from his assassin wife to get him to agree #well yeah maybe that freak deserved it #dickiebird asks her for advice because she is so wise #villains in gotham are afraid of stickbug baby jason because they know if they hurt him they will never draw breath again #Talia is so flattered by Tim's paparazzi shtick #she finds the photography so interesting and asks him to tell her all about it #when he readily agrees (flustered vibrating with excitement) she gets suspicious that his parents haven't taught him proper stranger danger #it takes her a day to adopt him #“beloved you must sue our neighbors” #“what why” #“we want their son and they don't” #“I think you mean our son” #“oh beloved you know I can't contain myself when you speak that way~” #((I think I got a little out of hand there ahem)) #cass just spawned and talia said “is anyone loving this child” and didn't wait for an answer #steph was an angy bb trying to fight her dad and talia slid into her dms like “hey sorry to hear about your dad being awful #in case you were in the market for a new father my husband is always looking for child vigilantes to fit under his cape" #steph said “lemme get back to you” and then became robin #talia was so pleased with herself #damian has so many legacies lol #he can't decide whether he wants to take up his father or mother's mantle #dick said please be batman so I don't have to #Talia scares the crap out of Duke and he's always super shy around her so she always tries to be not intimidating around him #She is the demon's dauther tho so her standard of “not intimidating” far exceeds the civilian threshold #although Duke's ahead by a margin since he has cult leader on his resume #she does her best to bond with him #“ahki observe the most efficient way to sharpen your hatchets” #“okay” #“richard may provide you further information on the maintenance of escrimas”

grace chasity watching the lucky duet between sam and quinn in 2x04: Oh No.

#also i figure steph reeled her into glee by telling her mercedes sam and quinn were christians #not wholly but i think it helped #spreading the bi grace chasity agenda one post at a time #i'm also just thinking like. 2x03 kinda has the Gay And The Church Are At Odds #but that said grace has queer friends. she has a fruity ass friend group. i feel like she's gotta reconcile it at some point #No I'm Not Projecting #What Do You Mean

Theory: male nba fans hate Ayesha Curry because they want to be married to Steph her

#they love Steph #and unconsciously want to be his wife #but they don’t know what to do with those feelings #/aren’t aware of them #so they take it out on her #because Steph will never love them as much as they love him #just like stans who hate on whoever their fav is dating #I’m kidding of course #they’re just misogynistic #but can you imagine their response if you said that to them #I might do it just to cause chaos #steph curry #stephen curry #ayesha curry

I saw a post about flash drive safety and it’s bugging me so I gotta talk about it

Someone in the replies already said it but the post is a huge exaggeration of what happens when a drive fails. First off, why the fuck are you leaving a usb plugged in all the time anyway. What purpose does that serve. Secondly, if leaving it in all the time is frying things that frequently, I think you might have bigger problems.

As someone who is actually going through professional data recovery on a drive right now, know there are in general 3 tiers of recovery, and each one depends on the type of drive and what’s wrong with it. The basic level, level 1, averages around $250 CAD here. This is bare bones recovery for simpler issues, things that don’t require physical repairs to the drive, such as failed allocation and corruption. Yes that’s expensive, but a far cry from the $950 that person was quoted.

Level 2 starts at about $450 CAD and is where you start to see physical damage like circuit board failures or firmware problems.

In my particular case, the drive I sent in is a level 3 issue because the controller board failed and they needed to do a forensic recovery. That’s where you start getting closer to the $900-1000 range, and where you start questioning if you’re even going to be able to get any data off of it. The particular store I used does not charge full price for failed recoveries, and allows payment plans if needed. Keep in mind I sent in an internal SSD, not a flash drive. Flash drives are usually cheaper.

It’s fine to store photos on flash drives. Yeah they’re meant for temporary storage, but if you have another backup somewhere, it’s fine to have a copy on flash drive. I found one from almost 20 years ago that still works - it’s no big deal, so long as you’re making sure it’s not the only copy you have and you’re taking decent care of the usb. Treat it gently, press “eject usb” on your computer when you’re done with it, keep a backup, and you’re fine.

And why the fuck would you leave it in 24/7 anyway?????

#I’m sensitive about this because I’m going through it #also because I work in it #I do know what I’m talking about contrary to popular belief #anyway I’m not reblogging the post it’s mostly right but in a fearmongering way #and $950 for a flash drive forensic recovery is fucking insane lmao #I’m assuming that’s usd #like what the fuck did you do to that thing #throw it in the shredder?? #steph speaks #I should mention I don’t have my files back yet #they said 4-7 weeks and week 4 doesn’t start until tomorrow so
