when your best friend turns edgy but still kicks butt & saves frogs for a living

[that-guy-sleepy-miles]

Thinking about how his blinders turn on immediately when it's about him.

Rayman has been taught to ignore everything that doesn't look right, and so whenever they're like "omg Rayman this is about you!"

Blinders. Instantly.

A good example is everyone's second favorite Rayman scene, where he shoots the council.

He's gone there for Bullfrog. That's his mission, and he's thinking entirely about someone else. He's focused entirely on Bullfrog. He gets those guns to save Bullfrog, he talks himself out of being a coward in the bathroom because hybrids need his help, and he goes up there to the board and he tells them to stop the timer.

But then they ask him "Are you happy now?"

And Rayman's mind like?? Shifts an entire fucking track dude! IMMEDIATELY about him and not the guy on screen in the electric chair!

AND HE JUST SHOOTS ALL OF THEM.

HE DOESN'T NEGOTIATE A WAY FOR BULLFROG TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE CHAIR OR ANYTHING.

HE JUST?? IMMEDIATELY RUINS HIS OWN LEVERAGE BECAUSE HE'S MAD. And he has every right to be mad, but he's immediately blind to the state of Bullfrog

WHO IS STILL SITTING IN A WORKING ELECTRIC CHAIR. WHO IS TO SAY THAT FAKE RAYMAN WON'T JUST PULL THAT SHIT HIMSELF?? DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY BELIEVE THE STORY ABOUT THE ELECTRIC CHAIR MALFUNCTION??

INSANE.

Thinking about the contrast between Rayman's considerate nature and his learned selfishness...

He's inherently caring, he cares so much.

But the second it's about him he's such a fucking brat. It's an amazing character switch I love it.

I hope they're become friends in season 2

who do you think each bats' favourite sibling is canonically? i haven't seen much about this outside of super fanon stuff so i'm curious

Let's start with the easiest one!

Tim - Dick

Tim's favorite sibling but also favorite person ever is unquestionably, undoubtedly Dick. This boy adores his big brother. He's full-on obsessed with him.

His thoughts on Dick are just a compilation of praises about him and his inner dialogue simply consists of a series of hero worship.

Robin (1993) Issue #32

Red Robin Issue #23

Sometimes I ponder about Dick and Tim's relationship because I feel like what Tim wants from Dick isn't just a brother, I feel like he wants him to be a parent which is part of the reason why Tim and Damian don't get along.

Because the truth is, before Damian came along, Tim was Dick's robin first. And Tim loved it.

(This post was on hold for months because I needed that exact panel where Tim says to Dick "It's obvious he wants us to be the new batman and Robin." BuT i CaNt FiNd It. I literally give up, if anyone know what panel I'm referring to people reblog it with the panel and I'll upload it with the post)

Dick was Tim's Robin and everything he did he wanted to live up to him

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Scorched Earth

Look at what he says about Dick:

Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying

Even before Dick and Tim met again, Tim started working out just so he could be like his idol. Tim literally says to Dick "My grades are okay but I studied because I wanted to just like you."

You know what they say about idols and pedestals and never meeting your heroes? The opposite is true for Tim about Dick. After meeting Dick for the second time, his idol worship grew so much it shattered every ceiling in existence.

Tim loves him so so much. People sometimes misunderstand and think that Tim hated Dick when he fired him from Robin but it wasn't hate that Tim felt. It was jealousy. Jealousy over Dick choosing Damian over him.

Tim even solely used the Red Robin persona for the mere reason that he didn't want to dirty Dick's Robin by stigmatizing it with his less ethical actions.

Damian - Dick

Obviously. The only reason I said Tim was the easiest is because Tim's inner and outer thoughts about Dick can be complied to create volumes of fanbooks of flowing poetry about him. Damian on the other hand is more of a tsundere, but there's still only one person who he loves aside from his father and even more than.

Robin War Issue #1

If there were any doubts, I don't think this panel could be any clearer about who Damian's favorite is.

Stephanie - Cass

Batgirl (2000) Issue #38

Cass - Stephanie

Batgirls (2016) Issue #14

Damn.

Steph and Cass are each other's favorites

Detective Comics (1937) Issue #945

Duke - noone? everyone?

Like actually I can't pick out one person Duke likes the best. You're either on his wavelength or he's snarking you off it. He's the type of guy where everyone likes him and he's chilling by himself, doing whatever he wants.

Jason - Dick

Out of the batkids who did deal with Jason during his worst phase, Dick is unilaterally his favorite. Sometimes when I think about Jason's relationship with Bruce, I'm reminded of how much Jason and Bruce are alike sometimes because Jason's view on Dick is almost identical to Bruce's view on Dick and they even have similar reactions. We all know that Bruce hero-worships Dick. Time and time again, Bruce emphasizes, stresses, and talks about how amazing Dick is and how he's so much better than him, and constantly places Dick on a pedestal. The issue comes when Dick doesn't want to do what Bruce wants him to do because he believes that Dick is an extension of himself, his better half, and he's furious when Dick doesn't follow or accept what he's doing because Dick should know what Bruce is trying to do because he's supposed to be better than him, how dare he stop him, etc.

Jason acts in similar ways to Dick. There's a whole issue where Jason gets fear gassed and one of his biggest fears is Dick. More specifically, it's about how amazing Dick is and never living up to him because in Jason's eyes, Dick is absolutely perfect. There is no one better than him because he is the peak of everything. He places Dick on the highest pedestal there is and he kind of safeguards Dick there in his heart. He used to get really angry because he believes Dick is the best but also refuses to let Dick be anything other than the best. The best way I have to explain them is Jason holding Dick prisoner as a result of his hero worship.

Once Jason is slightly calmer, his relationship dynamics with everyone became really clear, as well as what he thinks of them and it's shown how the way he treats Dick is just different.

Task Force Z Issue #8

Grayson Issue #12

"You don't do that to your--you don't do that to another Robin!"

He was going to say brother 🥺🥺

In this scene, it's pretty obvious that Jason loves Dick a lot but he's obviously not going to be all fuzzy feelings about it because he likes to be edgy. Jason's a little confusing in general for people to understand because they expect him to be nice and open but Jason's not nice, he's just nicer to the people he likes. Once we start understanding that, he becomes clearer.

And to Dick -

Nightwing (2016) Issue #15

-He's exceptionally nicer.

DC's Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun Issue #1

Another example of why Jason loves Dick the most is because in the comics, Jason doesn't work with anyone in the family unless he has to unless it's Dick because he chooses to work with Dick by choice.

Dick - Tim or Damian

Dick adores Tim so freaking much. He loves him so, so much.

Nightwing (1996) Issue #139

Catch me crying behind my sunglasses at Dick kissing Tim's head lovingly 😭

Robin (1993) Issue #12

I just love these soft touch moments Dick has with Tim. It's so incredibly sweet.

He was Tim's mentor

The New Titans (1988) Issue #65

and a really good one too.

He loves him-

Detective Comics (1937) Issue #696

-so much.

(I'd add more panels but I ran out of image space :'0)

I genuinely cannot say who he loves more at all. I can't even pick. I really do think he loves them evenly because when I think about leaning one side, more evidence comes to mind for the other side like a pair of counter weights.

Damian...I don't really need to say any words because the pictures speak for themselves

Batman (2016) Issue #34

Grayson Issue #12

aldskjdhkdjfhldfah;dh. Look at what he gave his son! A souvenir from the first time his dad met his mom because Dick knows how much Damian loves his parents <333!! There's nothing I can even say more.

Here's my previous post on Dick and Damian's relationship.

finally watched episode 3 and oh nooooo, Vi baby :'( I feel for her so strongly. Vi has been scrambling to attach herself to any scrap of familiarity since escaping prison, and now she's left alone, in the dark, again

[pussyeater8000]

I hate when people see two characters interact once and start shipping them for no reason. With that being said i hope Bullfrog and Ramon kiss in s2

[kingintodreams]

Bullfrog: … And there is a part of me that is glad the Warden brought us together, despite the bombs she put in our heads. That dread, that outrage we shared was something we bonded over, and, even for as brief a time as it was, it was… good. To be part of that team. Like my own brotherhood…

Rayman, crushing his juice box in his hand: Sorry She Did What Now ?

the meme redraw or smth lol

the original meme tho

[celaenaeiln]

Do you think any of the bats have allergies or simple human vulnerabilities. Just a thought because they always seem so invincible but they’re just human.

Canonically, no. But I don't consider them having allergies in my head either only for the fact that that I'm so caught up in analyzing their mental states and reactions that the stress of what they have to deal with is just something I think about more often. They're all physically capable but I think what makes them vulnerable is their backgrounds and experiences for them to act in different ways.

Dick is open to everyone but tells nothing to noone.

Jason is not open to anyone but tells everyone everything.

Tim is somewhat open to everyone and sometimes tells them things.

Cass is not open to many but no one has been open to her in return for her to tell them anything.

Steph is open to everyone but only sometimes tells them things.

Damian is only open to Dick, Bruce, and Jon and tells them things.

Duke is open to Bruce and Cass and seemingly to the others but really only tells Bruce and Cass his deeper thoughts.

It's the different ways they interact with people that I think makes them vulnerable and interesting. Who are you going to tell and what?
