Spoilers obviously

I gotta rent about this super bad but I absolutely HATE THOSE TIM DRAKE FANS. Like I love Tim as a character I really do & he used to be my favorite DC character too but I’m talking about those fans that make everybody in the Batfamily hate and abuse Tim and Tim getting sexually assaulted by Ra’s (which is actually very stereotypical and even racist) and, this is gonna be kinda invalid, but knows NOTHING about the characters around Tim. I’m not saying that you need to know all the characters but I’m saying that if you’re gonna include them in a fanfic at least do some research please. And sometimes they mischaracterize Tim HIMSELF. Like I thought that was your favorite character I thought you read all his comics where did you get the idea that he’s a sleep deprived depressed coffee addict that doesn’t know how to socialize. Now I can’t tell how people should characterize Tim since I’m not done reading the 90s Robin comics but even I know for a fact that he’s probably not all those things that people make him up to be. And the core 4 characterization is just…NO Kon’s whole personality isn’t being Tim’s boyfriend and worrying about him and having sooooo much Superboy shirts for Tim to wear (which implies that most people use TT 2003 Kon/white boy Kon characterization which says a lot) And NO Cassie isn’t the “tired mother” of the group NO her character isn’t about being the only female in the group. And Bart is NOT Tim and Kon’s love child no he isn’t an innocent social butterfly baby please like. I’m saying it again, you do NOT need to know ALL the characters and their traits. But if you don’t know ANYTHING about them, at least do a BIT research before you even include them in a fanfic. I don’t even wanna get to Batfamily but…Since WHEN was Jason Tim’s robin??? Since when did Bruce abused Tim?? Since when did Jack and Janet Drake ACTIVELY abused Tim and hit him?? This one is an actual question btw. I know that Jack pulled a gun to Bruce (?) but I’m not sure if Jack and Janet actually abused Tim other than neglecting him but I remember before his death Jack was trying to be a better parent to Tim. If Tim fans only read Red Robin, then they probably know that Tim loves his dad and he even had a flashback of his dad and him hanging out together.

this is NOT against all Tim fans by the way. This is specifically towards those who did all that thingies and probably only read Red Robin and WFA. (This isn’t against those comics too.)

how to come out in style, a tutorial by daniel ricciardo:

- dream big and get one of the biggest brands in the world to sponsor your homosexual wettest dream in the name of a short movie slash ads featuring your man crush

- in said ads, facetiming your man crush in the bathtub butt naked in bubbles

- goss (read: flirt) with him in the babygirlest voice you can utter

- claim you want to move in with him

- proceed to get him to buy a horse with you to live out the modern live action of brokeback mountain

- check him out with a sensational voice over inside your head narrating how you find him the hottest stallion out there

- name the horse you buy as the combination of his name and yours

- play out sequence after sequence of a gay cowboy porno (with a costume!) for 5 minutes

- make a lot of merch with him

- giggles with your knees IN before falling asleep next to him

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!

((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS

(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

I want to talk about this page in particular because the implications here are so riveting.

Lavi is currently 19. Allen is believed to be 16.

Which means that either

The Bookmen are lying

Bookman Jr. did die then and Allen either didn't age the first few years or his age got fucked up multiple times before he met Mana

The first seems highly improbable at this point tbh. If the Bookmen were planning to make Allen take the poison to make him remember his past then lying about when Past!Junior (presumably) died seems counterintuitive and would only make Allen mistrust them more once he was in full possession of his memories.

It doesn't seem like Allen de-aged to an infant. He says his earliest memories are from when he was in the circus. Even if he did age back to an infant, he would've needed caretakers and nothing in the story suggests he had any.

(Note how little Allen doesn't have his Innocence in the last panel. What the fuck does this mean Hoshino.)

Allen looks perhaps 4-5 in both of these panels. If Past!Junior died over 19 years ago and Allen aged linearly since then, then he would have to be 23+ by now. Even considering the possibility that he aged back to an infant, he he should be 19+ by now and he looks barely over 17.

We can assume that he must've aged in a somewhat even fashion once he joined the circus because otherwise the performers would've commented on it at some point of time.

What happened in the years between Junior dying and little Allen getting into the circus? Was he in a child's body till he acquired his Innocence? How did he even acquire his Innocence in the first place?

There's also a final possibility that came to me while I was writing this post— Lavi was born while Past!Junior was still alive. He was born with the 'mark' because Past!Junior was no longer fit to be a Junior. I genuinely have no idea how Hoshino will explain this. Will it be some sort of corruption? Memory loss? Chronic illness?

All of them seem equally unlikely options at this point. But so did the possibility of Allen and Bookman Jr. being different people before this chapter :)

Either ways, this was a very intriguing chapter and I'm looking forward to whatever Hoshino has in store for us.

"Barry is a total idiot" literature is a classic and a staple in Coldflash culture, and never would I beg the creators who produce it to cease doing so nor would I ever dare say anyone is writing them wrong- just catering to their own preferences

However, my preference is

"Barry acts impulsively, and has to use his big smart brain to think himself out of the situations he put himself in, and is pretty good at the second part when not having a panic attack"

With a helping of

"Sometimes Barry doesn't get certain social cues, but figures everything out pretty quickly one someone tells him the thing he missed"

Just reading some comics and saw a panel I thought you might like. :)

ah fuck, characters reminiscing always get to me ;__;

but i will never ever get over that fond way these two talk to and abt each other. especially when they’re poking fun, you can just hear the love in their voice it’s SICK.

the halbarry love language is annoying each other, but even more than that, it’s being each other’s exceptions

hi! ive been talking in the dc server and with the help of some ppl, i’ve created a role swap au—in which the love interests and heroes switch roles. i hope you enjoy :3

roleswap titans au

leader: kory anders. (lives in gotham after being abandoned in the streets by her sister when they crash landed on earth. raised by catwoman. wanted a team to not only help the world but to not feel alone. for all catwoman’s strengths, emotional connections aren’t always her strongest thing. especially to a kid.) replaces dick grayson

report writer: linda park (gained super speed after recreating the accident that happened to flash to investigate what happened at star labs. she joins titans by claiming she wants to learn how to be a better hero but really… she wants to know their hero identities & uncover who the flash Really Is. will she use her connection to the hero world to figure out their identities or will she learn to be the hero she claims to be?) replaces wally west

redeemed hero: chesire (“saved” by roy harper. she initially refuses to work together with the titans but the more they live with each other, the more she thinks twice about not corporating. can she move past the path she believed she was destined for? or will the titans efforts be in vain?) replaces roy harper

atlantan: dolphin (quiet kid from atlantis. she wandered into earth after being attacked by atlantis’ army for her mutation, stranded and alone. it’s only by being recruited by kory anders that she’s learning to find her footing (or fins) in the world. is she capable of working together with the cast? find out) replaces garth (aqualad)

the bow and arrow: speedy (the one that “saved” chesire. lots of people teased that he only joined bc he had a crush on kory but really… he wants to help chesire. and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to aid her. he thinks being with ppl their own age would help them adjust and fit in) replaces donna troy

LEGITIMATELY I could write whole essays on Barry's mental health in season 3 ALONE the man was most of the time passively suicidal but there were times where he was legitimately actively planning his own death it's alarming and it is NEVER ADDRESSED (you best believe I'm addressing the hell out of it in every fic I write lol)

AS YOU SHOULD

It’s one of the reasons I’m so angry about season four. Yes, there were funny moments in the season; but it undercut SO MUCH to do that. In this case, I’m referring to the fucking therapy arc/whatever

All the mental health stuff was turned into a joke and I still have to rewatch it (don’t want to…) but I’m 80% sure this is accurate.

eobard thawne, why are you holding down your nemesis who 'ruined your life' Like That
