what's fun about shipping Tim with Dick, Jason, or Damian is he has, at some point, hallucinated all of them to comfort himself. even when he doesn't like them or particularly get along with them, he has to imagine/hallucinate them just so he has the power to go on. Tim's concepts of the Robin mantle and what it should be is so fun, because he respects the others through the Robin mantle. Tim worships Dick because he was the first Robin. he wouldn't be Robin if Jason hadn't died in the mantle. and a lot of his frustration with Damian is he feels Damian isn't honoring the mantle correctly. when you ship Tim with the other Robins you can't divorce their identities as Robin from it because Tim will always see them as a Robin first and that's so fun and fucked up. like.

Tim perceiving Dick as *Robin* cheering him on, not Nightwing, which is the version of Dick that Tim actually knows? that's just. wild of him. he will always view Dick as Robin first, his personal hero but also the original of the legacy. his love for Dick is shaped by that.

and then of course, even when he's hallucinating/imagining Jason cheering him on, it's *still* through the lense of being reminded how Jason failed? subconsciously believing that Jason got himself killed because of his actions, and that being a lesson for Tim to learn from? Jason isn't a person to Tim, he's a moral lesson about how to be Robin. any potential idolization he could have of Jason isn't because he loves Jason, it's because of the lessons Jason's death taught him.

and then, even though him hallucinating TIm is from the New-52, which makes characterization all kinds of questionable, i do think it makes sense for TIm to hallucinate/imagine Damian after Damian's death in an attempt to cope with it.

to an extend, he sees Damian's death as in part his own fault. and even hating Damian, Tim needs the comfort from this to cope with Damian being gone. he's angry that Damian even was Robin, and has to learn something from Damian's death and how it impacts the Robin mantle, and teenage heroes as a whole. like, Tim can pretend he hates Damian all he wants, even getting taunted by the image of Damian, but there's still an underlying love to their relationship.

i think that's just the fun of shipping Tim with any of them. you will never divorce Tim's views of them from the Robin mantle and how fucking Unwell he is about anyone else who's been Robin before or after him, to the point he has to hallucinate them comforting him when he's at his lowest. it's always going to be a little unhealthy, a little toxic, and driven by Tim's relationship with being Robin as well. i need more Tim being weird about Robin in these ships.

It's nice to see a christian who's familiar with DC, gets a bit lonely sometimes-

Anyway-

What's your Favourite DC hero :D?

And any opinions on DC's Captain Marvel :3?

(Yes i am very normal about him DX)

Oh you have no idea my friend!

I grew up reading the stuff from the 90s and earlier because my Dad collected comics!

I like a lot of different characters but My favorite is Batman - not very original I know but I'm a sucker for BatDad!

( For more originality my Brother's favorites are Booster Gold and Ted Kord Blue Beetle)

Honestly never really read a lot of Captain Marvel's stand alone stuff but I always thought he was neat and often saw him in crossovers or bigger events

As a Christian I liked that he was supposed to have the wisdom of Solomon XD

And I thought Billy was a cute kid!

( The angst lover in me was also like " Oh no, an orphan who could be stopped from using his powers with relative ease)

I've also seen the movies and I'll admit I was like " WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE??"

Because I'd seen mostly his older stuff -

Your art is AMAZING btw!

I could eat your Cap Jr stuff lol

Books I Read In 2022 (and by read I mean actually liked)

Boy-Crazy Stacey (The Baby-Sitters Club #8) by Ann M. Martin

I'd never wear it, but I'd keep it to remind me of the first boy I ever fell in love with.

⭐⭐⭐(3 STARS)

I don’t have too many fond memories of this book since I found Stacey to be so insufferable when I first read it, but I also read this when I was like 10 years old, so my ability to empathize clearly hadn’t fully developed. Don’t get me wrong, it was still frustrating to be in Stacey’s head, but this was an important lesson for her to learn. I wish she’d also been able to see how an 18-year-old flirting with her when she’s a literal child is not okay, but this is just a thing that happens where Stacey keeps crushing on these much older guys and they flirt back and it is still just all kinds of weird to me.

I also want to add that the book never really goes beyond the message that “some boys are jerks, but not all of them” and I know that this is a middle-grade book, but I feel like not addressing Stacey’s behaviour sends out a rather harmful message. Stacey thinks that doing favours for boys is an honour and she was jealous when other girls would get to, let’s say, bring lunch to the lifeguards. The book never says that there’s anything wrong with this, it’s just something Stacey believes and we never get anywhere further than that. And also the way she treated Mary Anne; yes, Stacey apologized, but Mary Anne being all ‘yeah, I get it, you were in love’ was not needed, Mary Anne is a much better person than me because after everything Stacey did, I would not have forgiven her that quickly. (Also, if I were Mallory, I would ask for Stacey’s share of the money because let's be honest, Mallory pretty much did Stacey’s job for her.)

Details that stuck out to me:

“I was beginning to think that “mother’s helper” was a pretty funny term, since Mary Anne and I were going to be helping Mr. Pike as much as Mrs. Pike. Maybe we should be called parents’ helpers.” - LITTLE LOUDER STACE!!!

Mary Anne mentioning how she remembered the triplets taking swimming lessons when they were younger - I always love little anecdotes of their childhood and the earlier books in the series do this really well (unlike a certain prequel novel that shall not be named). 

The Pike kids trying to take care of Mary Anne after her sunburn was such a cute scene - they’re my favourite charges for a reason!

Adam being nice to Nicky for once - I was floored!

Byron being the sensitive, more serious of the triplets is something that I do remember being introduced for the first time in this book, but I feel like it’s also been consistently highlighted in other books featuring the Pike kids.

its kind of funny to me that in the comics supergirl kind of occupies the spot for like the edgy superman. which is kind of weird for her typical role as kid sidekick to superman because her thing as a character (at least the versions of her character that i like) is that she doesn't have a reason to help anybody and doesn't like earth. edgy superman. but she's also the kid sidekick. strange juxtaposition

really miss when batfam conflict would come from a place of 'this is a group of really fucked up people who care about each other very much and often hurt each other without really meaning to due to their ways (or lack thereof) of expressing their emotions" rather than "lmao watch bruce deck his son again"

Rebirth and the 2017 movie convinced a lot of people that you cannot do Wonder Woman stories without Steve Trevor there as her love interest, even though there's a good 45 years worth of WW comics with barely any Steve Trevor in them.

ok so now I’m preparing a morph update for the Roblox game, which is something I’ve tried before, so I thought I’d compare the originals and the new ones side by side and tbh the difference was insane so I thought I’d show you all one of them (left is the original right is the new one)

anyways in other news relating to my dc/booster gold reading: i've hit new 52 and uh. i get why you all hate it now. i never thought i'd be sad that maxwell lord is just fucking gone but holy shit they really did just throw away an extremely sick story line. i've decided that my reward for finishing any new 52 and rebirth series that are bad (justice league international vol 3, tom king's "the gift" storyline, etc.) is i read an elseworld or otherwise not main continuity story that is not bad. as a treat!
