12 year old tim realizing robin’s not coming back to gotham and deciding that it’s Batman’s fault so he has to ruin the little bit of sanity and peace of mind Bruce has managed (read: struggled) to keep in his grasp:
#tim drake#dick grayson#robin#dc robin#bruce wayne#batman#tim drake is a menace#tim drake was and still is a die hard Robin fan before anything else#so he 100% thinks Damian’s funny when he’s not the one being targeted#there’s mission reports with comments in the margin like ‘nice 👍🏾 do it again’ and ‘650000000/10 🎉’ and Bruce hates it sm#it starts with a mild explosion and psychological fuckery and ends with a prank war with city wide structural damage#Bruce sees Tim and Damian getting along and starts sobbing in the batcave#It was 12 year old Tim Drake and his 67 alt twitter accs against the world (Batman) when dick left#For the two years dick refused to stay in Gotham I promise you batman’s anonymous tip line was just 325 ruthless insults from tim everyday#Imagine bruce trying to figure out which of his rogues keeps photoshopping terrible .5s of Batman then mailing it to the gcpd#just to find out it’s some fucking middle schooler with a bowlcut from bristol#Tim drake is unhinged and petty#Like it gets so bad that gothamites (even the rogues) have picked a side in this mostly one sided beef between a middle schooler and batman#I want internet beef between a middle schooler and a 29 year old med school dropout bruce ‘I am the night’ wayne#Bruce is foaming at the mouth whenever someone opens Twitter next to him#and batman is breaking your clavicle if you mention twitter in his hearing range 😭#Batman showing up at Tim’s windowsill: take down all your accounts rn and im calling your parents 😡🦇#Tim pulling out a ouija board: let’s see if your parents answer before mine 🤨#I made yj on the sims so they could fight the jl and I was like middle school!tim drake w/ a twitter acc???

@sockdooe, This is the full original image:

According to the Tumblr post I originally snagged it from, it's an early piece of promotional artwork, meant to depict Keith as the series's central character. Shiro is shoved into the background, presumably to illustrate that he was intended to fulfill a Doomed Mentor role.
#Correspondence.#sockdooe#Takashi Shirogane#Shiro#You're nothingness but shining and everywhere at once.#Allura#Hunk Garrett#Half-Galra White Savior Keith#Pidge Holt#Katie Holt#Lance McClain#Voltron: Legendary Defender#It IS a really nice piece with a ton of personality but I hate a lot of what it represents.#Specifically how Allura is just sort of thrown in there like an awkward Token Female when she's one of the most important people in the#entire series.#And of course the sidelining and eventual nerfing of Shiro because the writers simply HAD to get him out of the way to achieve their#desired team line-up.#Until they were delivered the ultimate reality check in the form of an order from the higher-ups that they couldn't permanently kill a#popular character who also happens to be a gay man#leaving them scrambling like the clowns they were to figure out how to reintegrate him into the story.#Then the voice actor for *their* 'Chosen One' had scheduling conflicts that made him unavailable to them for a significant chunk of time.#Call me petty but I call that karma.#If they hadn't been dead set on killing Shiro they could have avoided the entire ridiculous clone plot because he still would have been#a member of the team and easily able to step back into his previous role of Black Paladin had Steven Yeun's outside job commitments#unavoidably necessitated Keith being M.I.A. for a period.#But I expect too much of showrunners who couldn't handle having a disabled main lead and exploited his sexuality for internet brownie#points despite having every intention of killing him and keeping him dead.

i feel like ive made yall feel way too safe regarding my gaming opinions. im gonna post ffxiv hottakes until someone begs me to stop
#yin-thoughts#ffxiv#im a firm believer in kill your darlings. specifically regarding media you love#recognizing the flaws in something is just as important a step in appreciating it as any other#you dont have to talk 24/7 abt these flaws or even bring them up in the first place. but holding them in ur heart is important#i love bg3 and FL and ak and whatnot to death while also recognizing where they fall short.#being a petty hater and being a genuine unabashed lover are not mutually exclusive#with their powers combined you achieve something vaguely resembling media literacy.#anyway. just wanted to get that preamble out of the way because it's the internet#and you never know what will 1) escape containment and 2) make people put weird anon messages in your inbox

#.xtxt#the others tried to stop me from being mean on the internet.#unfortunately i am an unstoppable force of being petty for no reason.

"Go to hell" is basic. "I hope your favorite show that ended or was supposed to end naturally regardless of quality suddenly gets renewed for countless new seasons that soullessly milk it dry and sink the show's quality to unsalvageable levels whilst showing zero signs of ever putting the show to rest or letting it die like it should've " is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying. It has actually happened.
#yeah I'm being petty with this one.#every time I see someone who unironically anticipates/begs for new seasons for shows they liked to the point of trying to make it happen#I just immediately have Vietnam flashbacks to Disney Channel's Bunk'D#I know the show ended half a year ago but goddamn did it get milked to hell and back. We do not talk about that finale#But seeing how bad it became bc of it not being allowed to end put things into... perspective when seeing people behave when a show ends#I can't... be the only one seeing this trend of people making petitions to give their favorite shows new seasons after they ended#And like maybe it's bc I'm just biased bc I was burned by a show I liked but#I promise you that is a monkey's paw waiting to happen#Like no a Lion Guard Season 4 is not happening cause you made a petition or flooded the showrunners' inbox#Nor is Owl House gonna come back for new seasons bc you kept spamming HashTag BringBackOwlHouse under an animators' TikTok#nor is Steven Universe getting renewed for more seasons/getting a sequel when it had THREE ENDINGS (one of which was a movie)#Like it's like people don't accept when a show is over and just want more and more#And forget how “quantity over quality” is one of the biggest death-knells for a show#and how the Internet is also a loud minority and for good reason#I can imagine a scenario where a show that ended gets renewed for more seasons after fans beg for it#And then it comes out and they hate it#And cue 1 billion thinkpieces saying “Ugh unnecessary!”#It would be lowkey funny but it wouldn't actually happen. Still it's just something that's been impossible not to notice#for over the past 6 years

saw someone being wrong about kon on the internet again (i know. shocking) and you are all so lucky i'm sick and feverish and lazy because i DID just seriously entertain the thought of writing up a small essay complete with issue and panel citations about why it's simply incorrect to say that kon never really seemed to reciprocate any sort of crush on tim before geoff/tt03. this is just not true. you dont have to actually ship them but to downplay their importance to each other even in the earliest days is simply incorrect. i'm too tired and achy to bother digging through comics to pull up all the issues that have the bits i want to point at but like... they were both very mutually important to each other from early on. it was in no way shape or form one-sided, whether you want to read that as platonic or romantic. man.
#rimi talks#id rather put my limited energy towards the tender t4t timkonisms fic but in my heart this is a longass post#kon's sb94 alice in wonderland nightmare sequence. kon's entire Everything @ tim in issue 85.#the entire concept of robin kon?????? hello?????#the way they function as a unit so easily in yj98 even While actively bickering???#graduation day and judd winick explicitly saying he wanted them to come out of the closet [together]??#kon going out of his way to not only do bits just to annoy tim but also being protective of him at the same time?? (in yj98 again)#him wanting robin's number in wf3 (and then getting it sometime before rex leech roller coaster issue)??????#what are you fucking onnnnnnnnn#you dont have to read it as romantic if you dont want to but they were undeniably close and it was undeniably mutual. bro#i just um. i just think that if youre so internet poisoned to hate a ship that you have to deny the characters have mutual importance#to each other in the canon material (but you can't deny it from one side so you have to claim it's mostly one-sided and blame a writer)#then maybe you should um log off and reread canon ?#<- that's petty sorry but im just saying.#anyways.#returning to the timkon mines now. crawls back into my word doc

LRT that is such a thing with queer fandom spaces tho. It's like that post that's all "yeah your story is so gay but how are you treating your female characters" you know?
like yeah it's great that this is the queer fandom website but a good chunk of the time that just means placing a lot of focus on the white guys and that's still not great lmao
#this isnt anything I just need to spit my thoughts out somewhere#but it's been kinda bugging me ever since folks got all bug eyed about the bg3 romance stats#all the brushing Shadowheart's popularity off as straight guys that dont actually care about character depth#first of all saphic women and bi/pan exist believe it or not queer does not always = attraction to men#and believe it or not many straight men do have actual thoughts in their heads besides 'oooh im a tough guy banging a hot girl'#like do you guys actually go outside and talk to people or is your only experience with straight guy gamers angry youtube comments?#even just sticking to the internet you can find folks on reddit having discussions about her whole deal with Shar/Selune as early as ea#people have always been interested in her story#it just feels weird to brush off a female character's popularity as just being shallow#while considering the vocal online love for male characters to be inherently more deep#again this isnt anything it's not a call out sometime a bitch just needs to be petty and vent yeah?

It's a little cringe how some trans people can't stop centering themselves in any conversation. Like there's this drama on tiktok between Kat Blaque and Madeline Pendleton, which blehhh not important, and legit one comment out of two is like: "well I'M agender and medically transitioning and therefore I think xyz" or "as a transmasc nb transsexual dating a transmasc nb who is not transitioning I understood the argument" like ok?? Nobody gives a fuck and stating your identity doesn't really.. make your opinions more valuable? Especially when it comes to queer infighting, like bestie, you're not special here we're ALL fucking trans
#like just#like congrats of being one of the good enby who understands kat Blaque's point of view#why do you have this need to prove yourself on the internet#why are you making this about yourself#also yes i see the irony of saying nobody gives a shit but then making a post about it#the difference is that im petty and dumb and i have too much free time#squash talking#transsexual#queer#me screaming into the void#tiktok

I've been keeping it off my face as much as I can on video, but I'm livid about the Skype sale.
I have about 100,000 contacts on that program. I joined during the bush admin. I was lucky to find a community full of incredible people, many of whom I now consider lifelong friends. Because of the community I found on that app, I found space to experiment with my gender presentation. I was able to come out as nonbinary (to feel SAFE ENOUGH to come out as nonbinary) because of that app.
I've seen a few Myspace posts in which people gloat they never got into Skype. Good for you. You won't suffer emotionally, and that makes you feel superior. But if you have no concept of what that program has meant for more than 9,000,000 Americans (that's half of half of half of half of all Americans!), many of whom do not have access to community in physical spaces, kindly sit down.
The sale constitutes the largest mass layoff in American history. We will lose billions of dollars in our domestic economy. Over 7 million small businesses are shuttering because of the sale. You will feel the effect of that whether or not you were on the app. If you can't grasp the significance of that, again: kindly sit down.
The language of the Skype sale has set a dangerous precedent for Microsoft to shutter any tech platforms they deem "dangerous" for arbitrary, undisclosed, nebulous reasons. This will affect Americans' ability to organize, spread information, and protest. They have effectively sold our right to assembly in digital spaces. This is the greatest infringement of free speech that has ever occurred in the United States. If you can't grasp the significance of that, either: kindly sit down.
This is bigger than "never falling for the Skype craze." This is an enormous corporate overreach sanctioned by our own Supreme Court. It's bigger than teens doing silly dances you can sneer at from your smug high horse.
And if you can't grasp that: Kindly. Sit. Down.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Recently I just can't stop having a bad mood! I just don't know what it is :/ I am trying to focus on the things that make me happy and combat my wish to vent and turn irritating things into positive ones but every single good thing improves my mood for maybe like 3 minutes, and then I think about things that make me angry ANYWAY! I want to be around people but I can't because if I keep talking about things that make me angry - minor or big - I'll just exhaust them. But I've been trying to focus on good things for a while now and now it feels like it is a daily hard battle.
I really need to either finally have a mental breakdown (but I can't control when it happens, you know?) so I can cry, or have a justified reason to get angry that won't feel like petty over-reacting on my half. Hhhhrg
#/vent#look i am TRYING to stay funny or chill or simply based#but you dont understand - *everything* online makes me angry or bitter!#i dont even know what happened.. nothing about internet changed yet it feels like it did???#like a sound you cannot hear but the waves still shake you biologically..#as much as i judge people who built their audience on being reactionary at least-#-they have privilege of being negative as much as they want and only get 'yass queen kick ass' for it#meanwhile i should watch myself to not extend venting limit gfhhjhv when i vented too much i should-#-stay cool for a while before i can feel bad again#am i overestimating the importance of my negative emotions though?#like.. am i being vain thinking my vents will 'poison the world around me' when my anger is-#-as threatening as barking of an alerted pomeranean?#yeah maybe.......#maybe i just have microtrauma from people that treated me like a dangerous monster for having-#-emotion of anger to begin with. this summer this issue was dialed up to 11#right i am probably being too focused on self at this time!#i should watch some youtube trash-reviews or petty dramas to feel angry on behalf of someone ELSE.#gotta.. get out of my own head. now.

Wrote a lot, touched up a VN manuscript from a while ago, worked on character sprites, felt good - got really bad news about a family member, now I’m also stressed over an important exam in three weeks, but I’m getting better slowly. I’ve been able to write more often and consistently, just a little tired and feeling a little funny, meds are working slowly but they’re doing their job stabilizing me - gonna have to spend my time between studying and writing as well as not over-stressing since it’s starting to have physical effects on my health again but I’m doing better ^_^
#๋࣭. priestess preaches#on other news ^_^ we forgot to pay the internet bill apparently and have been out of it for the day el oh el#hopefully it’ll be sorted out tomorrow :’)#life is strange but it’s getting more manageable…? i guess… finally got the balls to calculate one of the scholarship offers i got and wow#i’m an idiot lol i may reaply because it’s a lot of money that was offered and it’s a pretty good university#i was just being a petty bitch saying no in hindsight… sigh/// wtv i’ve waited two years what’s one more lol

incidentally came across a Mike Chen tweet and decided to search up Asajj tweets on his twitter. which was a mistake because that man is doing nothing but pissing me off and his Asajj takes are infuriating and I most of all despise his take on Tartakovsky Clone Wars Asajj and Anakin Yavin 4 fight
is he like. stupid. did he even watch the show. I don't get it
#daily asajj thought of the day#ok i really need to go to sleep so that's it for tonight but goddddd this infuriates me#this book was dragged on and its narrative was slow as is i promise this exposition would have been FINE#also i see how his take on that fight led to the way he writes asajj#i hate it idek why i put his book on my asajj recommenadtions list#like it works well on its own i guess but anything i learn about mike chen writing it makes me hate it more#it was worth it for some moments but others just#ughhhhhh#this is what i was talking about earlier actually#canon and legends/tartakovsky's asajj being two different character still treated as one#it does not work#if you want to regard cw 2003 as a part of canon please keep that character intact#least you can do#am I being petty about this? yeah#am i allowed to voice my honest opinions on the internet? yeah#is anyone really gonna read my rants? somehow i doubt that#right so this isn't out of my system but i need to close my laptop and lay down already byeeeeeee

i too dislike that “do you have any hobbies outside of media consumption” post, first of all because i think media consumption is a soulless way to describe experiencing art and second of all because i think it is needlessly judging what people do in their free time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#there’s also part of me that’s like. i have two jobs sorry i don’t have the energy to go rock climbing or whatever#mom i’m being petty on the internet again
