Babygirl why are you sitting like that

[pokeberry5]

your tim is soooooooo beautiful i can’t stop looking at him 😍

do you have any good tim whump fic recs? like the classic comm cuts out when he’s in trouble or really anything

(thank you!! im glad u like my tim art)

(in reference to this, where i mentioned liking whump fics where tim ends up on the ropes alone and his comm cuts out)

i was digging through my reading history to try to find some recs and it seems??? i may have extrapolated fics based on what i wanted to read rip

i did still put some fic recs together! but these are slightly to the left of your original requests. i'm gonna put them in order of relevancy. broad warning to please read the tags on all of these

Little Pig, Little Pig, Let Me In by nierembergia

tim's on the line with damian when suddenly a harmless-seeming interaction at a gala turns sinister (wip)

buy the ticket, take the ride

wherein tim is attempting to deal with things on his own after finding himself alone in vegas, at some point calls jason to "consult" him about blood spatters, and then has to hang up on him because he's getting shot at

the days of theft (no more) by SilverSkiesAtMidnight

gen omegaverse, jason takes tim and in the process snaps the bond between bruce and tim. including this one because the pack bond snapping between bruce and tim has, to me, the same emotional impact of a comm getting caught (wip)

Into the Brighter Night by shoalsea

the set up of this fic is tim manipulating the bats into following a plan he misrepresented and then purposefully going dark, although the majority of the fic deals with the interpersonal fallout of tim's actions (complete)

children of the stars by Scarlet_Ribbons

jason takes tim in because jack drake's a piece of shit and ends up doing his own growing in the process. not sure how to explain why i'm including this without spoiling it, but there is a Big Moment later in the fic that to me is equivalent to tim purposely cutting his comms off to deal with a situation himself (wip)

Call to a Lonely Earth by Drag0nst0rm

in the midst of brucequest, tim ends up on an earth where there are no longer any children and bruce has lost both his sons. i'm mostly including this one because i like it a lot, but—mild spoiler—tim does make a call explaining what he presents as a hopeless situation that he can't be saved from and then hangs up! (first fic is complete but sequel isn't)

also, while it doesn't quite have the same emotional force of what i was looking for, detective comics (1940) #698-99 is where i originally got the idea from and it does feature protective dick and alvin draper!

something something how horribly tragic both the broken vessel and lost kin fight feel something something idk man this is hard

[ge]

i dont particularly ship chung myung harem as a whole but i think its ridiculously hilarious if its just people falling head over heels in love w chung myung left and right but chung myung doesnt reciprocate and leaves a trail of broken hearts behind him but theyre all loyal and obsessed with him that it almost doesnt even really matter anyway

[catboytwelve]

Also I love ncuti gatwa and what he's doing with the role. HE'S KILLING IT <3

[twentyonefirstmates]

It's honestly so funny for the pilots to be like yeah this is a LORE album everything will be about the LORE and then immediately release two of the most emotionally devastating songs they've ever done that have absolutely nothing to do with the lore

[silversoulstardust]

rereading my fav lawlu doujinshi bc I want to make myself cry to sleep

[turtlespancake]

me when i write a character who is prone to dooming themself and then they run off and doom themself. core traits are stubbornness and a willingness to disregard their own humanity gET BACK HERE IM NOT DONE WITH YOU

why am i so weak to praise

[bulletsxlattes]

I'm still BLOWN away at how much of a coincidence it was that I went for an interview at JK comic book school ... idk around 2009, i took my portfolio with a comic i made of Robin vs. Robin fighting each other on gotham rooftops only to have batman interrupt and force them to stop. To then, months later, read Red Robin #14 on the stands and see a very similar fight. 😂 I guess my line of thinking at the time was very similar to what the writers were going for. Cause it never left my mind for years how similar it was. I was very, very young at the time, so I had a range of emotions but mostly confusion (and ok, maybe a hint of anger because I avoided Red Robin and Tim). These days, I suppose I was just in tune with them. And maybe I needed a bit more confidence in my ideas since professionals had similar ones. It took me years to appreciate tim as a character and sit down and finally enjoy Red Robin.

But look, Im only thinking about this because I lost a bid to buy all the Red Robin issues. I hate u random person who made it go all the way to 132 dollars. Yesterday, it was 46 dollars. U dick.

Feel free to tell me to fuck off but I just wanted to say that I hope you find peace and happiness. Relationships with PTSD and disabilities are so complicated and I understand worrying that you might never find a sense of comfort or safety with another person again. It's not my place to offer advice, but I just wanted you to know that I get it and I'm silently hoping that you find a way to navigate this that's healthy for you, whatever that means. Again, sorry if this is weird from some rando on the internet

no i appreciate it ❤️ i decided that when she gets back i tell her (in a way nicer way than this) that she sucks at open relationships and i need to feel like i’m on steady ground and i’d like her to be a part of that but we either go exclusive or break up

like literally since ive made up my mind about this my head has felt so much clearer. i am already kinda mourning the relationship tho like i wish i could see us moving forward bc there’s so many things i still want to experience with her but the way we’ve nosedived i don’t think it’s gonna happen

hold on I just started crying because I stared at this pic of the Earth from the moon. The Earthrise photo from the Apollo 8 mission.

Not only was this pic taken in 1968 but it's from the fucking moon. There's so many people in this picture. And animals. And plants. And everything. Everything is right there all in one picture. There are people in this picture who've passed away and are forever immortalized from the moon. FROM SPACE. taken by a Human FROM that planet ..well I guess not every human is in that pic cause some of em are on the moon lol

Jane fitfully wrestled in the night. Not at all unusual.

What was unusual, however, was that he'd been sleeping through the day. And he wasn't assigned to nightshift. Private was.

All through the day, Jane strangled and grasped and punched and reared his head, fighting with all his might.

"JANIE!"

The back end of a rifle was no way for a Marine to go down, but Jane hit the floor with a cry of pain anyways. His nose bled, his lip split. He wearily rose from the floor in defiance.

"SOLDIER! OON YYOUR LLEFT!"

A boot to the side of the skull sent a crackling ringing in his ears.

"JAMISON! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

A flurry of movement came over his darkening vision, as he watched his nephew, Arthur, whose unmistakable lime green spycrab beanie bore rips and tears, lunge forward towards a man in black combat gear.

He kicked it to the floor, its hull clattering as its knife spun into the corner of the room.

"I don't make the rules, Doe." Came a soft voice, tight and uniform and quick, as if the words coming from her mouth were somehow late. "Don't make this harder than it has to be."

"Stay--" Jane coughed, holding himself up with all his might. His arms outstretched, shielding the bots behind him, and by extension, the limp mercenaries they cowered beside. Dell. Yves. "Stay the-- hell-- away from my-- family."

"You were employed to give your combative aide to the efforts of Reliable Excavation Demolition." Pauling reminded sternly. "And then again by Mann Co. to fight against Gray Mann and his army."

"You were not employed to form attachments. This is insubordination, by every stretch of definition, there's not a lot more I can do for you here."

Jane huffed and wheezed, unable to get his words out.

"I'm sorry, Jane."

"Go to hell."

Jane rose with a scream, the sounds of gunfire and robotic cries still echoing fresh in his mind as he frenzied out of bed. Where had they taken him now? Were they torturing them somewhere? Waiting to kill them? He had to help. He had to try.

It wasn't until he got to the last lock on his door, only to throw it open and watch the sun setting through the folded metal doors - that he realized what had truly taken place.

Another nightmare.

The way they were carrying over into his waking life was beginning to become concerning. But... It wasn't anything worth mentioning.

Jane slowly adjusted his coat and made his way towards the mess hall.

Hey so Snap this is going to be so fucking weird, but honestly don’t care. So I was watching a clip of Drag Race Philippines and it was the make over episode and I think they were making over family members and this father was all about getting into drag. So, I just wanted to tell you never forget how much of a lovely loving kind and caring father you have, who loves you and protects you and makes you feel heard. That’s all.

i'd have to die before i forget how great my dad is thank you for the opportunity to brag about him again anon
