Concerning Convergence Batgirl and Detective Comics Rebirth, do you think Tim was too much of a dick in convergence given the not talking to her, saying she wasn't ready, and expecting them to get back together because she was batgirl again. The sudden romance rekindling felt a bit left field.

As for TEC Rebirth a common criticism is how Steph felt mainly defined by Tim and was just mainly his GF throughout that arc. Do you feel the same way?

LOVE THESE QUESTIONS for the first point i would normally agree but this was a complicated stage for both tim and steph. tim being a dick, considering everything he was going through and the whole ‘steph’s dead but not really’ makes sense from his side. its complicated

may be controversial but i wouldn’t mind steph ‘fake dying’ as long as some writer handled meaningfully steph’s side of the story, how she just had to pretend she didnt exist for a year and how essentially her mother was miles away and she couldnt even ask her if she was okay and take care of her. i think it would also make an interesting commentary on ‘deciding to lie for batman’ and ‘being batgirl’ to appeal to someone who will never accept her, but we know it will never happen. sighh.

but back on the subject:

what i like about timsteph is that they are not perfect, they are not just ‘i love you and will ignore your flaws’ but more ‘i love you and your flaws, i love you unconditionally in spite and because of your flaws’ and it’s something that the writers in the red robin/batgirl era have been handling well in my eyes but i might be biased. in a situation where tim acts hard to reach, steph trying to get a rise out of him is her way of reminding him of ‘the good times’ and make him loosen up.

personally i didn’t feel like the timsteph’s romance rekindling came out of nowhere mostly because they never really… broke up? they were forced to be separated by the whole ‘fake dying’ and, before being able to set their issues aside, bruce ‘died’ too and tim went berserk so it’s natural their original feelings are still up and running.

as for the ‘he liked her again now that she was batgirl’ i mostly feel like it was just an (average) giant ‘foot in mouth’ tim drak-ian situation. he is an ass that sucks at explaining his feelings, even worse since he spent a year trying to detach himself from his feelings and is now (awkwardly) trying to piece his life back together and failing so he deserved that punch. always does i fear.

but in general i think that convergence, as admittedly a bit rushed as it is, was the perfect way to put them back together. they’ll have to pry the klimt inspired kiss from my cold dead hands.

onto the second one, much easier to agree with because I DO. GOD. i ADORE tec 939-940 but i can’t for the life of me enjoy rebirth steph. i don’t blame tynion cause the damage comes from within (looking at you, new52) but yeah absolutely. in a just world, the timsteph death speech moment would be written in a much better setting where steph actually had other things going on in her life but i cant ever win

i cant even fully explain how much i love bill and mabel's friendship. they paint their nails pink together. throwing sleepovers with candy and grenda, he is like a girl dad but uncle to all of the girls. (including pacifica, shes also a guest on parties when she isnt busy)

bill gives mabel dating tips (poorly. these tips suck.) and all these tips suck bc bill is a pathetic dude. he literally whines to mabel every time ford is busy with researches and ignores him for five minutes. mabel knitted like a million sweaters for him with personal designs (sooo much doritos jokes)

and they dont allow ford, stan or dipper on their sleepovers. bill teaches girls how to play all sorts of gamblings and at first he was like doing all sorts of giveaways to girls but then he realizes that he cant actually win them in damn poker. he lost a lot of sweets that day. sweets and dignity

i have so much headcanons for them helppppp

i physically cannot stop thinking about ratchet and optimus.

like, in prime, they are so close with each other. optimus is so gentle with him, and like with everyone, he listens to ratchet's perspective and thoughtfully responds to him. there are so many instances in which ratchet has valid criticism of optimus, and instead of responding in a negative way, optimus agrees with him.

now, of course, optimus does this almost every time with everyone. and i think that is really indicative of his character. optimus is the leader, he needs to have outside perspectives in order to be effective. he listens, he ingests information, he comes up with solutions.

but it feels different with ratchet.

he has conversations with him, instead of just one liners. they bicker, they hold each other accountable. even when ratchet is hopped up on synthetic energon, optimus doesn't dismiss him under the guise of "well, he's under the influence."

they have this whole other world together. a world that was built on trust and mutual respect. where they can speak freely and not be afraid of judgement.

i just cant stop thinking about that. i cant stop thinking about how close you have to be with someone in optimus' position to be able to do that. to not be intimidated by his status. to be able to just see him as a person- and i think that's what optimus appreciates the most about ratchet.

ratchet's never treated him differently.

There's truly no greater heartbreak than watching women in Warriors be written like mindless vessels to steer the narrative with no regard for their individuality or autonomous responses to shit that happens to or around them-

And the villains being written like stupid fucking caricatures that provide nothing thought provoking, aren't morally gray in the slightest, and their feeling of urgency within the narrative is nullified under how comparatively frustrating they are to sit through-

Actually being a Warriors fan is just heartbreaking in general-- get well soon everyone <33 (has been here for over a decade)
