I'm going to be so real I do not understand tim & steph shippers who feel that Steph dating Tim again would save her character. You can make an argument that giving Tim a more compelling love interest would be beneficial for him! And you can at least make an argument that the fujo mischaracterization of Steph would stop. However she'd still, inevitably, be treated as a prop character/extension for someone more popular 😭 it also wouldn't make her appear in more books! Tim doesn't have many frequent appearances at the moment either! You can just say you like the couple and want them back together without acting like you have some kind of moral stance

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #dc #NOT character tagging. for reasons j feel are obvious #honestly i shouldn't even be posting this here I'm responding more to twitter sentiments but they'd cook me on there if i posted this #anyway sometimes i think ppl (again the twt ppl specifically. tumblr timsteph fans mostly normal) are doing that thing-#-where you get so deep into a hyper online discourse cycle that you end up reproducing mainstream sentiments from scratch #''let men date women!'' this is what some of you sound like when talking about timsteph to me /j #there's a lot to critique about how Tim's been written since canonizing his bisexuality!#personally I've noticed (and seen other ppl notice to) that some writers seem unaware that tim is bi #not in the sense of making him straight but in the sense that they seem to think he's gay bc none of his relationships w women-#-are acknowledged as having been. relationships #or if they are there's an idea that tim was using them to 'hide from his true self' or something #genuinely problematic sentiment!#i also don't really find the ''he should cheat on bernard!'' jokes funny #like lets bffr Tim's cheating was NEVER acknowledged as cheating he was seen as a good all-american boy #so like. bringing that trait back and acknowledging it as cheating ONLY after he comes out as bi? i get it- ironic homophobia but-#-i really don't like it!#anyway. close your eyes and focus on the daminika like the rest of us /j #or the stephcass jason dancing image which will live in my head and heart forever despite arguably being ooc as well <3 #bc it's funny <3 and at least I'm self aware <3 #also much MUCH more importantly DC POWER SPECIAL EXTREMELY GOOD GO READ IT FOR DUKE #and jace but i haven't read future state yet bc i tried and got. extremely bored 😞 sorry jace you seem really cool #but he's great in the story dynamjc duo with duke. loved it love them want more #special was sold out at my comic shop tho so i couldn't grab a copy. might hit the other shop in town today to see #BOOST THE NUMBERS WE NEED A POWER COMPANY ONGOING GANG #anyway yeah. tim & steph thoughts. you can just say you like them you don't have to do all that
