I feel like we could all use some pictures of nature today.

I repeat...

I need to be distracted for a bit and Doctor Who’s messages of good versus evil are a little too on the nose at the moment. I put on the Royal Albert Hall concert of The Phantom of the Opera because “killing people is not a good way to get her to love you” is more my speed right now.

It gets worse. Tim thinks he's the normal Robin with a normal family and normal home life. Tim thinks this is how a good kid is supposed to act. He's soaking up any and all attention Dick gives him because that's his reward for being good and helpful and for emotionally regulating the people around him properly.

@umbrellacam told me about a name I'd missed in Detective Comics 679, and I FINALLY figured out what the question marks in my Dick and Tim interaction list are! Turns out I mistyped 679 as 697, and missed ALL of Prodigal! Which is THE early Dick and Tim hangout!

So now I'm rereading it, and TIM! TIM!!! This little suck-up who is just bubbling over with relief that he's not stuck with Jean Paul's meltdown anymore! I'm two issues in, and 2/3rds of his lines have been:

You are doing great and are so cool, Dick!

This is just like how things used to be!

Good job! Jean Paul would have been doing THIS bad thing right now, instead!

It is CONSTANT. And Dick is soaking it all in while he struggles with imposter syndrome. Like, Tim is kinda overdoing it, but Dick is desperate for every single word and hasn't noticed.

Of course, that also means that Dick hasn't recognized that Tim is even MORE desperate than Dick. After getting abandoned by Bruce and Alfred TWICE¹, and weeks of emotional abuse by Jean Paul, I think this kid would do ANYTHING for a sign that someone likes him and wants him around.

Dick is ... doing okay. Like, he likes having people around, but hasn't taken the time yet to make it clear that having TIM SPECIFICALLY around is a good thing.

¹ Tim makes a comment wondering what Alfred is doing now, and assuming he's on a cruise somewhere, that seems fine in isolation. But when you recognize how often his parents abandoned him for trips, and take in all the OTHER little comments he makes ... this kid had issues even back in 1994, guys.

[...] there was a unique sight in the final practice session on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix when an adventurous lizard put a halt to proceedings. The curious reptile ventured onto the Marina Bay Street Circuit, running around without a care in the world while cars sped past at frightening speeds. To protect the drivers – and the lizard – the session was red flagged, meaning all drivers had to return to the pitlane while the reptile was removed. The official Formula One X account called it the “weirdest red flag ever,” while some of the drivers were clearly perplexed by the lizard. Mercedes driver George Russell could be heard asking: “What on earth is that thing?!” After his engineers informed him it was a lizard, the British driver replied: “A what?! It looks like a dragon!” As the drivers returned to the pitlane, it was left to the marshals to remove the lizard from the track so racing could continue. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/21/sport/f1-lizard-practice-singapore-spt-intl/index.html
