thinking (rambling) abt tim and how he's never really seen himself as a sidekick . . .
idk exactly how i wanna structure this, and i already wanna do one of those comic weave things so i have an excuse to throw a ton of panels on the dash, but i just... from the very beginning, he's seen robin as an equal partnership, and i just think that's really interesting. he went into it knowing 1) that there was a 50% chance he ends up dead, but more importantly 2) that batman just doesn't WORK without robin. he lets the cops and the rogues and pretty much any civilian call him a sidekick or a baby and hardly corrects them, but he's so confident in the fact that he's a Partner. he doesn't see himself as less than or below batman, and while he does have a need for validation, almost all of it (at least at the start bc i'm re-reading and only on like #17, he's still a lil bird) comes from wanting to live up to the mantle and the legacy and the weight that the costume has on it, ESPECIALLY after jason's death. he puts such a heavy importance on symbolism and he just wants to do it right, to be the kind of robin that his younger self obsessed over before he got thrust into it.
also, a lot of the 93 robin run is him solving things on his own! i mean, yeah, it's a Tim Run:tm: but .. hear me out. half the time, they write bruce off as too busy with another mission, or busy w wayne stuff, or hurt, or whatever the hell happened w that jean paul dude (that's a whole other side ramble abt symbolism, tim said fuck ur 'batman' it's just robin now <3) , and i get that a lot of the time it's because he's got his own run. there's a point where jack puts him back in private school for a while, forcing him to go be robin over there, but you get the idea.. he's alone (without bruce, he's not lacking a support system he just isn't constantly connected to batman) a LOT. and i think that isolation along with everything else just feeds into the fact that he doesn't see himself as a sidekick, idk how to end this thank you for coming to my ted talk <3

What Remains of Evan
Sometimes life feels like a game
Where I’m living out scripted events down to the movement.
Each scene is choreographed,
Each muscle fine-tuned to a destination.
But, every time I stare at my computer,
Seeing the bright screen of my monitor,
I wish for more out of this existence.
Objects are just assets with its textures put on just right enough to look convincing
But the staticy artifacting was what broke the illusion.
I just finished watching a playthrough of “What Remains to Edith Finch”
And felt a connection to the game;
Not in some emotional way but almost as a replica of how moving through life feels.
Lewis was how I could explain things.
I worry sometimes that I’ll give up at some point
But it’s not what’s expected by the developers.
It’s not ready yet.
My life was good for the most part.
I had a good family with a good house with good pets and good parents with good siblings.
It was just good.
But, once the problems compound together like escalating debuffs it all comes crumbling.
Sometimes I feel like I have life too good to be complaining
About how much I suffer from not being a participant,
That somehow my successes and achievements brush away the misfortune.
I’d beat myself over thinking my life was horrible.
After all, by every metric I should have it good.
The longer I sit in goodness, the more it sours and breaks.
Dialogues feel rushed and repetitive.
New additions feel burdensome and unnecessary.
The players are disinteresting and bored.
I feel neglected by the developers at times to the point where I feel like they’re strangers.
I crave something new but cower once the new patch launches.
And now, I retreat back into the only place that makes all my dreams come true:
My own little sandbox with my favorite toys, ready for another adventure.

i just wish literally ANY of my debunking posts made it past a handful of likes/reblogs. i'm not looking for plaudits or brownie points on this stuff, but i've spent a not-insubstantial amount of time tracking down the source of some popular rumors/conspiracies and have managed to piece things together by crowdsourcing info from ppl who were There in addition to my own internet dives.
i'm not even really begging for notes tbh, i just that i wish the info could get out there. it just gets annoying to see the same things that are honestly not that difficult to debunk keep getting spread around and see new people latch onto them and spread them, bc repeating conspiracies is more fun than fact checking (unless you're a freak like me who loves a good internet spelunk)
i'm not even mad at ppl or anything bc i get it! conspiracies are fun! i've even bought into a couple! but then when i went to source them, i realized that oop! there's not a good source or it's been taken out of context! sometimes it's stuff that's been distorted via fandom telephone! and sometimes it's a complete fabrication or intentional misinfo, which is wild!
i guess i'm just bummed that The Truth Is Out There and yet we're still seeing the same debunked things circulate within the fandom.
maybe i'd get more traction if i was confrontational about this stuff but i try to come from a place of curiosity and good faith and give ppl benefit of the doubt and assume that others are coming from a place of good faith as well unless/until proven otherwise. i'm also happy to revise my stance if folks can offer a decent rebuttal - for all the research i may do, i can still be wrong! i encourage other ppl to fact check what i'm saying!
there's plenty of stuff that i have theories about that are wholly vibes-based and don't even have anecdata to back them up, so i just... don't talk about those publicly so as not to spread them. or i make extremely clear that i am just spitballing or spinning a word salad conspiracy as a joke.
and yeah, this is specifically about spn fandom but it applies to the real world as well. misinfo spreads so easily and it's extremely hard to stop it spreading or debunk it once it reaches critical mass and/or it gets the illusion of truth by coming from mainstream news sites (or popular blogs). it just feels like ppl are becoming more and more fundamentally un-curious and refuse to exit the echo chamber both in fandom and irl.

The Cloak smacks Tony’s ass, then leans in as if to kiss him on the cheek with its lapels.
THE CLOAK always found a way to surprise Tony… no, that’s not quite right. The Cloak always found the exact moment Tony was BENT OVER to smack him on his ass. A second sense, possibly? Stephen told him he was looking too into it ( but with that smile that suggested he was just fucking with Tony ).
A small YELP left him as Tony shot up from where he’d been scrounging around the lab floor for a screwdriver his elbow had sent flying underneath a cabinet. His head whipped around to shoot something snarky back at the magically appearing rug, but the KISS OF SOFT FABRIC against his cheeks stopped him.
For something that didn’t have puppy dog eyes… or eyes for that matter, it was hard to be mad at the damn thing.
❝ If you’re gonna be a literal pain in my ass, the least you could do is wiggle a corner under here ‘n snag this screwdriver for me. I’ll even steam a boy scout badge on you for HELPING THE ELDERLY in return, how’s that sound? ❞

Learning that FNDs entire concept was based on the conversion disorder theory that came from sigmund freud (idk how I've made it almost a decade with this diagnosis and just learned sf is responsible for the theory behind it; I knew it was previously conversion disorder, just nothing had mentioned the assholes name when I'd researched as a teen)....
And that bastards got so many hands being thrown at him in the afterlife because his drug induced theories of 'look it's impossible to disprove and thus I'm a genius' that were hated by the scientific community even at the time because he just wouldn't stop publishing them and because they couldn't be disproved was taken as scientific which is not how science works.... is responsible for every act of medical malpractice I have ever faced and I look forward to screaming about it when I get home.
