[ Talking about how they became friends while working on St. Trinian's 2 ] Christian Brassington: We did that and we were just surrounded by girls everywhere. David Tennant: Yeah Joe Haddow: A friendship just blossomed, I assume, from this? DT: Well I think we were both nervous about being seen to be talking to a lot of teenage girls. [ the others laugh ] DT: So we just sort of sat in a corner and talked to each other. CB: Yeah. DT: We were the baddies. We were the villains. CB: I played David's sidekick DT: We were very subtle. Very subtle performances. CB: Oh my goodness! It was almost like a documentary, what we were doing DT: So nuanced, what we did Host: [ Laughing ]

jealousy really is the driving force of DamiTim as a ship. love that for them. love how Tim has the Robin mantle ripped away from him and he has to suffer the jealousy of watching Dick and Damian bond. how possessive over Dick Tim can be, to have him stolen by Dick.
even more so though, is the jealousy from Damian. how on earth do you cope when you finally get to be Robin, a role you've convinced is your birthright, and no one really likes you? every prefers the Robin who came before you? Dick regularly reminds you that he can always go and call Tim back when you act out? like the complex Damian has over Tim is unreal. Tim, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had everything handed to him his whole life. he never had to struggle or fight for his place like Damian did. Damian has spent his whole life fighting and proving himself, and yet he can't ever seem to truly claw the mantle of Robin away from Tim. even when Tim lets it go, becomes Red Robin, they seem to share it. Tim can slip back into the role of Robin whenever someone like Dick or Bruce need him to, because *he's* the Robin who they need. he's the Robin who was able to find Bruce. he's the Robin that Ra's wants an heir out of. he's the Robin who even Jason respects. in Damian's eyes, everything Damian has fought tooth and nail for, was handed to Tim.
so of course he's going to react to Tim with violence and aggression, especially after finding out Tim has contingency plans for him. no matter how much Damian proves himself, he's never going to be enough, especially not to Tim. and so his deep refusal to see Tim as family, to acknowledge Tim's legacy is all driven by such an angry jealousy. Tim understands aspects of Bruce's legacy that Damian doesn't, like the need to sweet talk and play nice with the elites of Gotham, even if they're corrupt. they exemplify different aspects of Robin, and the aspects that Tim exemplifies are the aspects that Damian knows he'll never fully understand and therefore holds such a deep contempt for. he wants to fight criminals, not play nice with politicians. Tim understands the side of Gotham that's utterly foreign to Damian. if anything, he represents that side of Gotham, to Damian. a pretty little rich boy who's nothing but a know-it-all and not a real son of Bruce. he can't be a Wayne. he can't be Damian's family.
and all of that angry jealousy leading to unhealthy obsession turned a weird, angry crush from Damian is just my bread and butter. that is how DamiTim should be. to me. Damian obsessed over hating Tim Drake so much he accidentally ends up sort of in love with him and that only makes Damian angrier. because he can't prove everyone right by *also* liking Tim. he can't let Ra's win like that, because frankly why wouldn't Ra's be delighted by Damian and Tim getting together. and it builds and builds with angry passive aggression towards Tim that culminates in angry hate-fucking-that's-not-just-driven-by-hate. love and hate are always viewed as opposites in shipping and i think they're the same intense passion just in different directions. and for the best ships, they're very intertwined. what is DamiTim is not the peak of that. "i put so much of myself into hating you i had no choice but to fall in love with you somewhere along the way" core. love that bleeds into hate and hate that bleeds into love. "you make me so angry i regularly passively try to kill you but not with any real effort because who would i obsess over if you were actually gone" core. murder attempts as a form of courting. contingency plans to take each other out as a love language. they're unwell.
#necrotic festerings#damitim#timdami#tim drake x damian wayne#damian wayne x tim drake#also possibly a hint of dicktim at the beginning there#i have yelled at my partner about them nonstop#so i had to put the thoughts into a tumblr post to give them peace.#i clearly favor tim in my ships we don't need to talk about it#tim drake is so weird he makes everyone else weird about him by proxy.#like sir contain that aura it's making everyone mentally ill.#i'm not a hamilton girlie at all which is why it makes me so mad Wait For It is SUCH good song for damian#like that song just IS his complex over tim#whether canon or shipping#this pulls from a variety of canon btw#like yeah mostly pre-flashpoint#but i do think the fact that in current comics canon tim keeps defaulting back to being robin#must make damian SO mentally unwell#like oh that does not help your jealousy complex does it.#and the thoughts of tim understanding the elite in ways damian doesn't are inspired by the boy wonder (2024)#which GOD is the first modern comic to fucking understand how tim and damian actually feel about each other#in a way that isn't either cartoonishly evil or makes them make up too easily#ugh. juni ba your mind.#anyway the complex damian has over tim. is fucking wild.#bc like everyone uses it to woobify poor tim for being attacked by big mean damian#which first of all stop taking panels out of context#second of all#dude no WONDER damian has a complex. i'd hate tim's ass too!!!#when i was reading batman & robin (2009) and dick casually says he can still call tim when damian acts out#what kind of threat IS that dick. sir.

Artistic choices in Supernatural that make your brain melt. I'd love to know who on set made that artistic choice.

I MIGHT BE COOKING SOMETHING but no promises any time soon.
This team of characters have literally been stewing in my brain inconsistently for the past 15 years, probably from when I first finished playing PMD Rescue Team Red.

when i was in middle school i used to be really drawn towards characters with long hair bc i thought it looked ~*~majestic and legendary~*~ (i blame Yue from cardcaptor sakura).
but then some time during college, I took a sharp turn and was really insistent about only drawing/designing characters w short hair bc it was "easier to draw" (i mean... it was 😭 ig it didn't help i was in the animation student trenches at the time)
Now in the past handful of years, i've come back around and just being like "ok yknow what, middle school me was right, long hair IS pretty cool." LMFAO time is a flat circle...

So you’re telling me that not only does Dick have to deal with protecting Blüdhaven and Gotham, he needs to lead the Justice League and the Titans, all while looking after the entire batfamily?!

Origins is of course the DA game most closely in conversation with and playing around with Tolkien (right down to the walking talking poetree haha) -- and even more so than most works in the larger western fantasy tradition derived from Tolkien's work that DA:O also hails from and owes a lot of its Stuff to, what makes the game so great to me is that it's doing so very deliberately, and is subverting and deconstructing those tropes and entrenched ideas in some very interesting ways without at all denigrating what it's commenting on. (it doesn't have the almost disdainful undertones of the vein of fantasy that seeks to make the world more 'realistic' ala the more tedious reactions to G.R.R.Martin's work, for example, despite having the darker fantasy bent to it.) among other elements it adopts, what I find the most fascinating is the choice to use the same literary device/conceit Tolkien did in ostensibly only having in-universe biased sources and works to deliver the world through (which I feel is an underappreciated thing about his approach but is part of what makes his world so enduringly compelling and real-feeling -- the feeling of real scholarship devoted/applied to a made-up world. the grounding effect of a good diegetic footnote about source criticism, truly).
many things to be said there, and I'm glad each following game has taken on different perspectives and lenses and traditions to view the world of Thedas through because if you stick with that one too closely for too long I fear we could teeter precariously close to Pratchett's famous and bitingly accurate accusation of most modern fantasy of that era just being about rearranging the furniture in Tolkien's attic lol. and while you could accuse DA2 (my perfect wife who has never done anything wrong in her life to be clear) of many things, that's not one of them, they are pulling on some completely different strings for that one and both the game and DA overall is better for it, to my mind. as so many things in this series: worth staying with and exploring for an installment even if it might get stale if all of it was like this! people are understandably sad about the elements from previous games that they liked which were lost along the way, but that capacity for reinvention is to my mind a huge strength of dragon age as a whole.
(I think Veilguard is coming in as a close second in Tolkien conversation-ness if only in outlining/revealing the worldbuilding that indeed may have been planned since DA:O around the animosity that SHOULD by all rights exist between dwarves and elves in this universe (as per Tolkienesque tradition standards). but doesn't really because you see: politics and the many pitfalls of conservation of knowledge over the ages. our ancestral enmity got semi-intentionally lost between the floorboards of history and you know what. maybe for the best. the humans are already up to so much shit you gotta keep your eyes on them at all times you can't be brawling with each other in the deep roads while they're still around getting up to their nonsense or they'll just pile up even more of it)
#dragon age#dragon age origins#been thinking about the unreliable narration/in-universe texts only element being the thing da:o took from tolkien that's most defining#for a LONG time and I want to write something smart about it sometime but alas. this is what I've got right now haha#I think *some* da:o nostalgia is about that familiar safe childhood feeling of Fantasy World in a pattern that was so deeply entrenched#for many many MANY years. it's been in the groundwater of the genre for so long it's only fairly recently the patterns were broken#on like a mainstream sort of scale. I know I'm getting older b/c I keep going 'how do I explain to some of these people#that the world (both the real one the fictional one and the gaming one) was a very different place back in 2009' lol#and I agree there's something so tremendously comforting about it even with all the grimdark elements more in the martin vein#that's also in da:o. the same way you get satisfaction out of the structural familiarity of fairy tale logic but for a whole genre#da:o follows the Rules of a fantasy world in post-tolkien tradition -- even when it's subverting them it's doing so in reference#to a set of tropes and ideas both you and the game are deeply familiar and comfortable with#(da:o IS also just a really fucking good game I'm NOT saying people's love for it comes from being blinded by nostalgia haha#just an observation of a thing I've recognized in myself as well. there are elves there are dwarves there are talking trees and dragons#and basically orcs. all is as it should be and everything makes sense <- the part of me that grew up on lotr and derived works lol)#and while the other games also have all these elements they don't USE them in the same way and it doesn't feel the same. it's so interestin#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#only in the vaguest way but still#you know what veilguard occasionally feels more like actually. sci-fi! and it's not an accusation or a bad thing for me I think it's great#da:i veers more to high fantasy and da2 feels weirdly low-fantasy -- it's a story where magic also happens to exist but I almost forget lol#it's a magical world and magic is integral to the plot but thematically it's so much about real-feeling political conflict#da:o is a Quest in da2 you're new in town (and it gets worse)

Some Embroideries I've done since I quit my job!
The first is a re-creation of an earlier attempt from 2009 (the second image) from a Cosplay from Babylon 5.
and the final one is a K-Mart kit of a Galah that I threw out the instructions for and did my own thing on.

The conclusions Babs and Bruce somehow learned from Stephanie’s death:
“We have to stop letting these untrained kids go out and fight by discouraging them and belittling them.”
The conclusion they were supposed to have gotten:
“These kids are going to do this anyways, so we have to train/prepare them and give them a safe place to advance their skills.”

Everything I Enjoy About Buster Moon’s Thriller Night!
Yeah, you guys saw this coming as soon as the YouTube link came in. Now I’ve got screencaps to show you what made me happy.
Tumblr media
There is a bunch of charm to Meena literally acting like a real teenager, one who gets super annoyed when things don’t go her way and/or she has to do something she doesn’t want to do. After all, as we all know, Meena’s a good girl. She was raised right. Seeing what that would look like if this wasn’t the case puts a smile on my face.
Tumblr media
YAY! Pink smoke! You can bet if Artica were canon, she’d be the one to dispose of the fake car, just so she could immerse herself in it.
Tumblr media
This definitely doesn’t seem like a sensory overload, but all of us on the autism spectrum knows that the comparison is there.
Tumblr media
Almost this whole GMO The Musical scene was great! I’ve written a fanfic about this already where Artica considers it her least favorite show to help write, particularly the Meena lemon bit, but from an outside perspective, I kind of want more.
Tumblr media
Gunter knows something. Maybe Marcus did give Johnny permission to borrow his truck for the night, or maybe he didn’t. All Johnny said was that he got his dad’s truck. Maybe there’s a bit of rebel left in him after all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meena knows that riding in a trunk like this is against the law, but it looks like she loves it.
Also, you can tell this is a dream because this police officer doesn’t say anything about the danger of trunk passengers.
Tumblr media
That ooze is all my favorite colors!

THEY LET JOHNNY DO THE MJ THING!

From a real world perspective, I get why they put Nooshy where they did, but personally, I imagine her leading this whole thing. Why couldn’t she have helped choreograph all of this? She and Clay wouod have been partners in all this!

TOP 5 NON (mostly) LORE RELATED MYSTERIES OF TF2
Pyro genuinely disappeared from the plot for most of Blood in the water. Heavy and Scout were at Ayers Rock, Spy, Solly and Zhanna were in what I think is Sydney, and Ms Pauling, Demo and Sniper were in Adelaide. Where the fuck was Pyro. Where did my precious beast go.
Why doesn't Mags (australian) have a moustache (presumably due to Australium depletion but never confirmed) (or maybe she isnt actually australian? You know they never actually stated she was...).
Why did the MANN CO crate that had Soldier and Sniper clothes in it also have Zhanna clothes in it (in the naked and the dead).
IS BESTRALIUM REAL (see "gallery" on the doomsday map page, it seems to be a failed substitute australium) AND WILL IT BE RELEVANT IN COMIC 7.
Why did Saxton Hale kill the Italian President (see manniversary update).
