Daily reminder that Stephanie Brown and Duke Thomas are both “real robins.” Just because the circumstances of them becoming Robin was different compared to Bruce’s children doesn’t mean they were any less of a Robin then anyone else
#dc comics#dc#dc robins#duke thomas#stephanie brown#stephanie brown robin#genuinely so tired of having this conversation#it’s like beating a dead horse atp#and yet people still don’t want to hear it?

I can't find it now but there's a post about suspension of disbelief and how it's broken when the story starts trying to excuse it. "character gets knocked unconscious for hours but there's no further issues from this" okay 👍 "and actually this makes perfect sense because of this and that" um no it doesn't why are you lying to me. like i am willing to ignore the holes and the discrepancies!! all you need to do is let me and not bring unnecessary attention to it!!!
and all that is my issue with the whole robin child soldier argument. like i am willing to ignore it i am willing to engage with the fantasy literally all you need to do is NOT try to convince me that Actually It's Fine Because They Want To Do It or whatever. like literally just shut up about it and i can engage with the fantasy!!
#my dc posting#dc#robin#batman#like. if you want to tell a story and not worry abt the child endangerement thing just DONT BRING IT UP ???#all you're doing when you bring it up is telling me this is something i'm allowed to think abt when it comes to the story#and then you tell me Um Actually It's Fine ?? no! what the fuck are you talking about!!#i am tryinggggg to just have fun n read fics your lil “isnt that child endangerement and kinda fucked up?” “no actually they wouldve done i#anyways bla bla bla batman couldnt have stopped them bla bla bla''#is COUNTERPRODUCTIVEEE#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#damian wayne#<- tagging the robins sorry#sorry this just. this topic annoys me so much#...also ''batman couldnt have stopped them/they wouldve done it with or without him'' are literally#just factually incorrect in jason's case. he did not in fact start on his own and the only thing batman wouldve#needed to do to stop him is literally just NOT make him robin BUT- at this point im just beating a dead horse on that topic#w how many times i bring it up lmao#like. in real life you cant just knock a person unconscious for hours with no consequences on them.#but i dont care when it happens in fiction despite being not realistic!! bc its fiction!!!#unless of course the characters out of nowhere do a lil sidequest PSA abt how actually doing that is fine#and completely safe with no risks#yknow??#like if that happened id be annoyed and like no its fucking not fine why are you trying to convince me. just move on and dont bring it up#and I wont bring it up#anyway. yeah these are just some thoughts im having rn sorry its not more coherent and put-together i cant be assed rn lmao

The reason this is a webcomic was so I wouldn’t be able to burn it.
The ass jokes are already so tired and now that’s there’s going to be an entire comic based on it.
#hopefully when this does poorly because it’s behind a paywall and shit they’ll stop#like they’re really still beating this oversexualized dead horse#it’s past skeleton at this point#it’s dust#dick Grayson#nightwing#dc#dc comics

someone needs to explain to me how satine and the new mandalorians "won" the great clan wars. how did they enforce the exile/banishment of the insurgents to concordia. who was doing the fighting for the new mandalorians and defending against the insurgents. how did they enforce the exile.
george lucas didn’t do enough deep thinking on the naboo government, and dave filoni did seemingly no thinking before throwing in mandalore's backstory exclusively through obi-wan’s dialogue as a function of his own romantic backstory with satine.
#im just#so tired trying to make this make sense#like it's a kids show it aint that deep or whatever#but also as someone who clearly likes the mandalorians a whole lot and is beating the horse double dead in recent media#youd think dave filoni would have put a LIL more thought into an incredibly defining era of their history#cj rambles

full on feel like pjo tv s2 is not gonna hold up so they need to drag as much attention to the series as they can by using nico as a sock puppet w tsats2
im fully expecting the show to go the way of the movies. it doesnt help Sea of Monsters is almost unanimously the least favorite book of the first series. People frequently forget it even exists or what happens in it, especially more casual fans.
Heck, just look at how little fanfare the second season has gotten so far as compared to the build up to s1. I wouldn't be surprised if s2 totally flops. It would be a little funny.
#pjo#riordanverse#pjo tv#pjo tv crit#tsats 2#Anonymous#ask#im still sad theyre beating every dead horse in the franchise they can EXCEPT for the graphic novels#the poor graphic novels arent getting advertised AT ALL and the BoO one got cancelled#like. the graphic novels would actually be probably one of the best advertising avenues!#like. hey! you dont need to write a whole new book! just remind people of previous books and give them a way to refresh on it#and given how the first couple of graphic novels were a different artists i could totally see them doing a second version#just to make them all consistent. thatd make sense and be reasonable.#the show has also already kind of trapped itself in a corner in a couple of ways#for one they kind of screwed themselves over failing to plan for the actors. yknow. ageing.#Walker is already taller than like. most of the cast. Percy's gonna be TOWERING over Luke by TLO#i think the main trio is all like almost 16 already? and we're only on s2. its gonna be rough. they didnt think about it. they didnt plan.#also with how theyve been messing with plot and characterization theyre VERY quickly going to start running into hurdles#because they dont seem to understand the more you change earlier on. the less the later stuff will work without also needing change#because. it's dependent on what comes before. so we will very quickly be requiring either MASSIVE canon divergence or a lot of retcon#and retcon in the show is going to be VERY OBVIOUS#though i stand by itll be so funny if they solve too much too quickly in s2 just like the movies and it just ends on#''wait. crap. what are we going to do for s3 now. we solved too much too early. they have nothing to do''

New AU/scenario? World's shittiest family reunion
ID start: A doodle od The Pale King and The Hollow Knight from Hollow Knight as humans. Pale King appears old, tired and unwell, looking away awkwardly as he clutches his cloak, while The Hollow Knight, as a shade, clings to his shoulder with a curious expression. End ID.
#hollow knight#hollow knight gijinka#hk gijinka#doodle#pale king#pure vevssel#the hollow knight#thk#spooky arts#faaf au#technically#they decided wow this sucks and just left their body just as PK was planning to go into the dream realm with his palace. for the record they#were angry at him but at the same time they saw him and just thought. WOW he looks pathetic#wont lash out at him because it feels like beating a dead horse#eventually somehow ended up bonding

Welcome to another post in which I (somewhat) ramble about Euclid.
The line "a parallel I'd lay my life on." is such a sweetly spoken juxtaposition. To be parallel to another person is to be one in the same: someone that mirrors your ideas and possibly even physical attributes. A "bitter reflection", if you will.
Now, in maths (for those who don't know: it's suggested that the title Euclid either comes from the philosopher, or, more likely, the mathematician, often known as The Father of Geometry, and most famous for his work on symmetry) parallel lines only ever come in pairs. It's not mathematically possible to have a single parellel line. These lines always the same distance apart: they never meet.
If they do? They stop being parallel lines. They destroy their own definition, they entire thing that makes them them, for the sake of joining.
Plus, Euclid's lesser known definition is a copy of the same, coming from Euclid the mathematician.
To call this person "a parallel", therefore, is bittersweet. They are, by textbook definition, his foil. For parallel lines to meet is to ensure some form of destruction. Of what and whom, that is yet to be seen.
#had a little thought in class today#I know Vessel hates to see me coming with my analysis#the lit student in me never died out I fear#but diging my fingers into stuff like this is fun so I don't mind#as per usual: if anyone has some extra thoughts feel free to add on!#analysis Euclid feels like beating a dead horse to me but sometimes I get a little gold out of it lol#sleep token#st#mel's rambles#euclid#lyric analysis#tmbte#take me back to eden#vessel#vessel sleep token

No but it really is insane that at that very moment, Mike is grappling with two things: 1) his belief that the painting is for someone Will has feelings for and 2) the knowledge that the painting is for him. And he’s smiling.
#beating a dead horse but sometimes I feel crazy about the simplest things#ripping my hair out#it’s like the moment before a car crash#although poor Mikes thoughts were probably more like “oh it’s not for someone he likes. it’s for me. ☺️”#byler#mike wheeler#i know what you are#will byers
