Dancing the weekend away. It is believed that the Janger dance was started by women farmers, who sang joyously in groups as a way to entertain themselves and relief their exhaustion from a long day work in the fields. This eventually developed into a dance and became a means to meet young men from villages nearby. The general theme has since developed around the initial romance of young couples. Janger is one of the most popular dances from Bali. The term roughly translate into the meaning of being totally and madly in love.

It doesn’t matter if you’re “valid” (according to whatever rules the people around you have set up, or at all, really.).

Stop worrying about whether you are valid. You are alive, and you exist. That’s enough on that front.

The only person that can validate you in any kind of meaningful way is yourself, and it has to come from within.

The act of going around and trying to search for people who “””Think Your Balid””” and say you’re valid all the time and shit— it’s stunting your emotional and psychological growth. The reason that you crave validation so much is because you have the inability to create it within yourself.

Stop looking for affirmation of your truth in other people before and without working on finding it within yourself.

Validity as a concept, in the way that it’s used currently, makes me so upset. It’s not real, not in this way. It’s just an emotional crutch that causes you to depend on the opinions of everyone around you to feel like you have worth.

You do have worth, and that’s the end all, be all. It doesn’t matter whether you’re “valid” or not, because that concept is bullshit.

Forgive me if I make no sense, I’m currently dissociated and on the front end of a fibro flare up. (Should NOT have done so much exercise.)

I hope you’re all alright, and please remember to take care of yourself, stay hydrated (more important than you think), take your meds, step away from the screen for a bit, experience the world around you in the moment, eat some food, do something you enjoy. Love yourself, actively and shamelessly.

The worst thing ever of a big fandom is you hating shit because of normal reasons and others hating shit that makes no sense and CAN be redirected to just them being racist or some shit

For That unwanted animals:

Your first interpretation was 100% correct. It's about a woman being raped by her husband and planing of killing him.

80 and 3 for spotify wrapped!

Woo!

80: dark side - blind channel

I am a bit of a basic bitch when it comes to eurovision, what can I say. Not a very good song imo but it has really good beat and I like it.

3: that unwanted animal - the amazing devil

Great great song! The first time I've listened to it I thought this was about an abused woman killing her husband. Its is not, which is disappointing. It is about not keeping the demons at bay though and it is very dramatic and I love it.

I just want to say that the repeated mentions of Tim being like Bruce - Dick telling Tim that “you’re more like Bruce than I ever was” and even things as small as the other members of Young Justice assuming that Batman is literally Robin’s dad - mean so much to me because like-

Tim is so similar to Bruce. They are both rich kids, only childs, people like them but they never let anyone truly know them. Tim’s deductive ability is so often likened to Bruce’s, and even his combat prowess or leadership skills are more often compared to Bruce’s than Jason’s or Dick’s. Despite being Robin, and the third one at that, Tim really takes being the Batman of the group to an entirely new level with just how much he really is like Batman.

And that’s why they work so well together! Tim and Bruce are so similar, but they’re fundamentally different! Bruce is afraid to get hurt again, afraid to feel connections to other people, afraid of revealing his emotional vulnerability. Tim is afraid of disappointing people, afraid to fail to rise to the standards other people set for him, afraid of revealing that he isn’t as calm as he appears on the outside. Bruce and Tim both begin fighting crime out of love, a love so strong that it would lead either of them to give up their lives for that love, but Bruce does so out of a love for Gotham City and his parents and the legacy they represent to him while Tim does so out of a love for Gotham City and Robin and Batman.

Their partnership is built on their similarities, but it’s improved by their differences. Tim is softer than Bruce. He wants to trust people, he doesn’t enjoy making lists of ways to kill all of his friends. He tries to talk, to draw things out, to banter, while Bruce is more straightforward. Which, honestly, being more subtle than Bruce is a talent in its own right, ngl

Tim is described a lot as the perfect Robin. And, I can’t help but feel like yeah, he is. The writers really made this character perfect for Bruce specifically. Tim is a person who understands what Bruce wants him to do, even if he doesn’t always understand why. Tim cares about Bruce, both Bruce Wayne and Batman, and that care knocks down a lot of Bruce’s walls. Tim wants to fight crime with his friends and enjoy himself, but he also has his main goal which is to protect Bruce, especially from Bruce himself.

And it’s a two-way street. Bruce knows Tim so well. Like, I can’t even begin to describe how well Bruce can read Tim. He can tell that Tim’s care is sincere, and he wants to reciprocate that care. He trusts Tim, on such a deep, foundational level, and he trusts that if Tim lies to him, then Tim has a balid reason for doing so. He’s protective of Tim, even more than Tim is protective of him (for obvious reasons), but he’s also proud of Tim. He’s proud of how Tim can work with people and how Tim can handle his own and how Tim can solve cases.

Bruce and Tim are such a dynamic duo, literally. The understanding they have of each other is amazing. The trust they have in each other. The care. Bruce treats Tim like his son, and Tim honestly treats Bruce like his dad, even while Tim’s birth dad is still alive. These two are great together, they work so well together, they fit each other almost perfectly because Tim was literally made to be perfectly suited for Batman.

And, of course, there is an obsession there. Tim’s obsession with Batman runs deep. He would almost certainly make a great Batman, no matter how you look at it, because he has moments where he reaches that ability to be threatening. Of the times I know that he played Batman, he didn’t do a bad job. He’s intimidating and frightening and he manages to have his cape pulled around himself so he’s just a shape, just like Bruce does, and that’s mostly because he also literally does that same thing as Robin. Tim prefers to be Robin, because he prefers to be partnered with someone else.

(To be completely honest, I think Tim’s first choice of who he would want to be paired with at any given moment is almost certainly Dick. Dude loves that guy. I haven’t seen if Batman Dick and Robin Tim interact in those respective roles, but Tim is almost equally made to be Nightwing’s Robin. Bruce is his second choice though, definitely.)

I have to assume the obsession goes both ways, because the story is a lot more interesting if it does. Bruce is protective of Tim, even as he trusts Tim with the fate of the entire planet. His protectiveness of Tim is funny, actually, because he doesn’t mind Tim fighting gods but he does mind Tim showing the other members of Young Justice his face. (I mean, I get that one of the members is named Impulse, but Bart himself said that Batman gave him that name, so I feel like Bruce bringing it up as a detractor is just a bit hypocritical)

All the times we see Batman with Tim in the Young Justice run, Batman is pretty chill. Like, during the Sins of Youth storyline, when Bruce is Robin and Tim is Batman, Bruce seems totally cool with it. He doesn’t seem worried about Tim messing up. His comments on Tim talking to much read more to me as banter than actual criticisms. Bruce trusts Tim to be Batman, and I find that both sweet and a bit funny for a variety of reasons.

We see Batman get mad when Arrowette says the Justice League doesn’t understand any of the Young Justice members, although even then he just glares at her, he doesn’t say anything. Bruce is like “Yes, I know I don’t understand the majority of human interaction, what of it?” Batman doesn’t say much during that whole comic, actually? Like, he shows up with the rest of the Justice League and he taunts Tim (literally like someone taunting a child pfft) but he doesn’t actually seem to think they won’t pull through? He makes a quip about them being late getting back, but it doesn’t go anywhere, it was him teasing Robin, why was he even here?

(I like to think he kind of hoped Young Justice would disban so he could take Tim back. He obviously wants Tim around, he implies as much in the World Without Grownups arc, and he obviously enjoys Tim’s company, he seems to genuinely enjoy fighting crime with Tim, even when their roles are switched, and he lets Tim talk to Oracle all the time (he definitely could have cut that connection off if he really wanted to make it difficult for Tim during that whole bet thing) Like, Bruce believes that Tim is capable, I think he’s like Wonder Woman and thinks that the others (coughImpulseandSuperboycough) are bad influences. He is taking his boy wonder and leaving to get him good influences, like Nightwi- oh, wait, no, yeah, let’s let him hang out with Impulse and Superboy-)

This turned into a ramble about Young Justice, but I can’t help it!!! I really, REALLY wish that Batman had gone to the parent-teacher conference. Like, Nightwing showing up was wonderful on so many levels, but can you imagine?? Batman?? Dealing with Bonnie King-Jones??? Like, I think if he ever met her he would break the no-killing rule, full-stop, no hesitation. I want to know how the parent-teacher conference would have gone if Batman was there. I think it would have been mostly awkward silence while Batman lurked in the shadows and Red Tornado didn’t understand why everyone was so nervous, like, it’s just talking about what time he should feed their kids, why are you guys sweating-?

I love Tim and Bruce’s relationship. They’re so codependent. I don’t know if Bruce could ever not hold the next Robins up to Tim’s standard. Like, Damian trying to kill Tim makes a lot of sense if you look at it as Damian viewing the situation as “there only needs to be one Robin, and if there is a Tim to be compared to, I will lose.” Dick and Jason were great as Robin, but neither of them were Robin during the period of time in the nineties and early 2000s where Batman got a lot edgier and needed an edgier boy to be Robin. Dick was perfect for the 50s through to at least the 70s, and Jason was probably just fine too (still haven’t read Jason comics hrnng) but Tim fits Bruce perfectly because he was made for the more modern vision of Batman as a character.

Tim is a dweeb and a nerd, just like Dick before him, do not think that he isn’t, but he really works as a balance for Bruce. He was introduced to be that equilibrium, and he fulfills that role.

Tim and Bruce work so well together because they’re just on slightly different sides of a spectrum. They’re so close to being too similar, but they’re dissimilar enough that reading their dynamic is engaging and interesting. Tim really just is the Robin I understand people mistaking for Bruce’s blood kid, y’know? Before Damian, I mean. I feel like the Justice League members met Tim and went “whoa, shit, Batman knocked someone up, holy-“ The Young Justice members continuously genuinelybelieve that Batman is Robin’s dad (which makes it a lot funnier, because if he was Tim’s dad, Tim would essentially be saying: “my dad made me do this and won’t let me do this and to make things worse, my DAD moved us out!” Like, why would he just randomly mention who the subject of the conversation was again at such a pointed time? I understand that Superboy and Bart were not paying attention to him, but it’s just really funny to think that Tim would talk in such a strange way?) I like to think that Dick does not help matters, and instead goes out of his way to worsen them, because Dick is always the one telling Tim that he’s doing great and that he’s so similar to Bruce (he means it as a compliment, like Tim isn’t making the mistakes he thinks he’s making because he, just like Batman, just is unlikely to make mistakes) so I think Dick definitely tells his friends that Robin is Batman’s kid because it’s funny-

And this has gone from rambling about Young Justice to writing fanfiction mid-post, I should really stop while I’m ahead.

All in all, to sum it up, TLDR: Tim was made to be the best Robin specifically for Bruce as Batman. That’s why they work in harmony, but are ultimately entirely different instruments.

Remus would unironically listen to the You’re Mine Balid Basics song, you can not convince me otherwise

[swimminginyokohamasrivers]

oopsie daisies! that was supposed to be an anon ask :3 but what if they were bullying me first?? they told me to choke on a hot cheeto and die

what do your ideals say about bullying little kids on roblox? :3

Bullying is never right! I'm unfamiliar with 'roblox', but I assure you, that is a most inappropriate behaviour for a member of the armed detective agency! That contradicts with everything I stand for.

[concretejungle-forum]

Est-ce que le forum est résa aux adultes parce qu'il faut écrire du +18 / hot pour s'y intégrer...?

Bonsoir !

Le forum est réservé à un public majeur parce qu'on y aborde des thèmes qui ne sont pas appropriés pour des mineurs. Nous estimons logique de ne pas pousser des adolescents·es à interagir avec des adultes qu'iels ne connaissent pas et trouvons plus éthiques qu'iels n'aient pas accès au forum. Si la sexualité est un sujet qui peut apparaître sur le forum, Concrete Jungle n'est absolument pas centré sur le smut / les sujets 'hot'. Tous les films et jeux vidéos déconseillés aux moins de 18 ans n'ont pas forcément un caractère sexuel, il en est de même pour Concrete Jungle. Il n'est pas du tout nécessaire d'aborder ces thèmes pour trouver des partenaires d'écriture, loin de là !!

De plus, conformément à notre règlement, les sujets spicy (ou violent, ou gore, ou tout ce qui peut heurter la sensibilité de quelqu'un) sont : soit une balise 'trigger warning' floutante, soit carrément sous une balide 'hide'. Tous les trigger warnings sont affichés en début de sujet et réitérés quand nécessaire en début de post, afin que personne ne lise un truc qui ne lui convient pas par accident.

Vraiment, pas d'inquiétude là-dessus 🥰

CJ n'est donc pas un forum 'hot' et s'il est réservé aux adultes, c'est parce que c'est plus approprié, selon nous, de ne pas mélanger des membres majeurs·es et mineurs·es.

Si tu veux en savoir plus sur notre vision des choses, tu peux lire le sujet "notre ethos" qui fait le tour de notre façon de gérer la communauté 📌

Bonne soirée, en espérant te voir chez nous si tu es rassuré·e, tu vas voir on est bien ❤️‍🔥
