#I'll be back if I escape

[megabuild]

Great just fucking great... the same day I get a life changing head injury and lose all my memories of "Minecraft YouTubers", turns out my boyfriend (REAL) is actually a boyfriend (FAKER!!) who's trying to kill me, and now I'm locked in here with this fucking thing... I can feel the "Oxygen Deprivation" settling in. This is the worst Easter ever. "WHAT" FUCKING "EVER"!!!!!!!

How do you think bruce would react to a Robin pile situation?

oooh this is a fun thought. i think it depends *entirely* if you're working with a morally stable Bruce or a Bruce who's a little fucked up and dead dove-ish. somehow, i think it's actually more fun if it's a completely stable Bruce bc that adds so much more drama and issues if Bruce is deeply unsettled by the idea. if it was maybe just Jason and Dick or Jason and Tim dating that's sort of understandable. Bruce knows that while he may see them all as his sons (except Steph bc do know Robin pile will *always* include Steph for me and tbh Cass too as an honorary member. they're all going in the pile.) but he understands that doesn't mean they see each other as brothers. he respects the nuanced and complicated relationships scattered across all of the Batfam.

but if all of them are *dating*? or at the very least sleeping together? that raises a lot of logistical red flags. the most obvious one is the age gap of it all- at the biggest gap you have Damian and Dick who are an easy fifteen years apart, meeting when Damian is a kid. not to mention how many of them have tried to kill each other at some point. it shouldn't work and Bruce doesn't like that it does. Bruce has a history of wanting to control the relationships of the Batkids when he disapproves. and so he'd absolutely try to break them up. at first, he paints it purely as a logistical issue. saying it's smartest not to bring feelings into work and that this is dangerous. i think it's especially fun if this happens at a time when Bruce doesn't approve of Steph or Jason so that *also* plays into it, he doesn't want either of them near the ones he currently considers to be his family. he says he wants to protect them and wants to keep them safe. he tries to appeal to who he thinks would be more logical and listen to him the most. first Dick, and then when that doesn't work, Tim. and when neither of them listen, i *do* think Bruce would stoop to the low of trying to break them up by fabricating internal conflict between them, hoping to divide and conquer the weird polycule it's become.

while i don't think Bruce would be jealous in the sense he wants to be included, i *do* think he's wildly dislike the Robins having this close bond that makes them trust each other implicitly more than they trust Bruce. they will defer to each other before him and clearly keep things from him. he'd despise that. it's an inner circle he's not let in on and it makes him lose aspects of control over some of them, especially Damian who's the youngest and his son, who Bruce deserves the most control over. he would drive himself mad about it. at first for genuine reasons over the perceived fucked up nature of the relationship (even when each of them have confirmed that it is entirely consensual and they're happy) and to protect them. but he becomes so bitter over being ignored. they openly prioritize each other over him when the truth comes out because they see no point in hiding it. and i could definitely see Jason gloating about how he's back in the family whether Bruce likes it or not. Bruce would be beyond pissed about it. he's just never recovering. trying to stop them gets nowhere, even if he manages to cause some internal conflict.

eventually, Bruce would be forced to accept it for fear he would lose all of them. but he's *not* going to be happy about it and he keeps making side comments, hoping to get through to one of them eventually. it doesn't work, but he's definitely not going to stop trying. i also think on some level it would just disgust him a little bit in a visceral way, since they're his kids to him and he doesn't like to picture them in that way. esp when Jason or Steph lean heavily into PDA just to fuck with him. ass grabs, cuddling, sloppy kisses, the whole nine yards. Bruce will not have a moment of peace.

My hot take is that marcanne has as much potential for toxic yuri as any other calamity trio ship and it's not nearly as soft and fluffy as one may think

It feels like gaming studios have been reviving legacy franchises left and right, with SEGA's initiative last year bringing 5 franchises back from the dead, and now Bandai Namco bringing back Ninja Gaiden, doing something fresh with Pac-Man, Okami coming back, Virtua Fighter coming back.

Astro Bot won GOTY, and the Main Feature of that game was that it referenced the entire catalog of SONY franchises that have been left to rot.

This makes the perfect storm. I'm wondering, will SONY join in on this legacy revival trend? Bring back the old PS2 platformers? Make some smaller games to keep interest in their IPs alive?

I'm not sure, SONY seems to have had a streak of hubris as of late, especially with their recent spectacular failure in introducing new IPs, but maybe they will learn from that hubris instead of doubling down. But maybe they will learn the wrong lessons.

They are, after all, bringing back Marathon, but as unrecognizable multiplayer only live-service slop instead of the story rich single-player games the franchise is known for. It seems to be "Marathon" in name alone. Perhaps that's more on Bungie than Sony, but who knows. We can only wait to see if they course correct that game in time.

I hate that the best way to make money in this industry is to be absolutely drenched in nostalgia, but it's just as frustrating to see companies ignore their own history. To act like people wouldn't want to see these franchises again, while in the same breath announcing LAST OF US II for the 10th time is so disconnected from what I see people talking about online.
