So you know how Bill says he can still see through the eyes of everyone he's possessed?

I'm sure he's been through his fair share of experiencing the deaths of those he's possessed. It's probably usually pretty straightforward, just seeing what they see before they die and then having that channel of vision going blank for eternity. Maybe sometimes he has the unfortunate experience of not only seeing through their eyes but also feeling what they feel, especially for those he's had a stronger connection to/spent more time possessing. That in and of itself must be difficult for him, as if the very fact that he can still see through them all at all times isn't difficult enough.

And then you realize that someday, inevitably, he'll be experiencing Stanford's death that way too.

Do my DPxDC brothers know about Phantom Girl????

Just wanted to check in with my DP x DC homies and make sure ya’ll know there’s a hero called Phantom Girl in Dc comics whose powers are all about intangibility and blowing shit up with “Negative zone” energy……

Now I’m just saying I think her and Danny would be friends and or they would beef over who has to go and change their names. She’s also an alien girl who was tragically stranded in another dimension for several decades who has aged strangely and no longer fits into the hierarchy of her home planet! So like you know if ur into space Danny vibes.

Anyway just wanted to make sure ya’ll knew, have a good day!

Kinda NSFW???

Finally made the most important distinctions between the three Wolfwoods:

Tristamp Wolfwood is a Monster Fucker, he’s even more pumped then before

98 Wolfwood had some Realizations about himself

Trimax Wolfwood is NOT a Monster Fucket at ALL. Bro needs to take a lap and smoke a pack before engaging in anything

Ninjago Mermaid AU- Zane.

Species: Narwhal. Chosen because of their ability to withstand cold temperatures plus their color pallet.

Zane is a Marine “spy” Robot used by researchers to record and collect data of Merfolk in their natural environment. Made in a partnership with Borg Industries and Julien Laboratories, he is a revolutionary advancement in the robotics field, going past a simple language learning model level to becoming a true AI in the 25 years of development. Zane’s expedition is simple: to help marine biologists to study Merfolk and blend in the best he can.

Did Tim “kill” King Snake and does Bruce know?

In Tim’s first solo min, he goes to Paris to learn martial arts and get that “edge” he thinks he needs to properly assume his role as Robin. He ends up on the tail of British Lord, Hong Kong-based heroine kingpin, leader of the Ghost Dragon gang, Sir Edmund Dorrance AKA King Snake (who is blind, which will be important later). Tim’s only companions on this world tour are Lady Shiva, who wants to defeat Dorrance to prove herself stronger, and ex-DEA agent Clyde Rawlins, who wants revenge against Dorrance for Dorrance’s reprisal killing of his family.

Robin I #4 --  the dream team, I love them

The trio catch up to Dorrance in Hong Kong, where he’s waiting for them in what seems to be the top suite of his skyscraper, 50 stories up.

In this final confrontation with Dorrance, Tim takes full advantage of a crucial moment of distraction to kick Dorrance out of the window. Dorrance ends up clinging to a ledge, hanging on for dear life.

Shiva then appears to order Tim to kill Dorrance, presumably by kicking him off the ledge. (It becomes clear then that this is how Shiva intends to prove herself stronger than Dorrance: she trained Tim and therefore Tim is her weapon and an extension of herself. If Tim defeats Snake, she defeats him by proxy).

Tim refuses and walks away. All we see is him listen  as Dorrance falls to what Tim explicitly assumes is his death, 50 stories down.

Robin I #5

So, while Tim isn't directly responsible for Dorrance's death, he was the one to put him in that position and then left him there to fall.

It’s unclear how Tim conceives of his actions here and how we are supposed to interpret them, especially in light of Tim’s refusal to kill in earlier chapters in this arc (and after).

Robin I #2

Robin I #4 -- I love Shiva

He stopped Rawlins from shooting and killing gang members, but then points to the danger Rawlins might have put them in by accidentally shooting crates containing plague (please read this arc it’s really fun despite suffering from uh. severe written in the 90s syndrome) and then explicitly restates his vow not to kill.

AND THEN, the plot thickens!!!

Dorrance did not actually fall to his death; he caught himself on a ledge below, where he believes Tim came down to taunt him. He came away from his fall with a fear of Tim and an obsession with killing him to purge himself of that fear. (anyway Sir Edmund Dorrance walked so Ra’s could run)

Batman (1940) #468

Batman (1940) #469

Dorrance moves to Gotham with the Ghost Dragons and takes over Chinatown (which. Who decided to put, a British lord, what boils down to an allegory of British colonialism in Hong Kong as the head of Chinatown? I have questions – anyway crimelord Lynx ftw)

In the course of his pursuit of Robin, it is revealed that Bruce believes “it was Lady Shiva that caused Dorrance to plunge to his death”—that Tim told him this.

Batman (1940) #469

This is clarified a bit more later, when Bruce confronts Dorrance.

#469

Dorrance explicitly accuses Tim of murder. He outlines the incident leading up to his fall—that Tim tricked him and attacked him from behind (he did, we saw this), that Dorrance was left dangling, and that Tim then caused him to fall.

Bruce refutes this accusation by claiming that it “wasn’t Robin who left you for dead. … Robin spared you. It was Lady Shiva who threw you to your death.”

From this, we can assume that in the moments after Tim refused Shiva and walked away, Shiva threw Dorrance down, which he didn’t realize because, as Bruce claims, he is blind and was likely traumatized by the incident. We can’t know this for sure, however—that Shiva threw him down—for exactly those reasons. Bruce is working off what Tim apparently told him, but we—and Tim—did not see this happen.

Bruce’s explanation of what actually happened also calls into question what exactly Tim told him about what happened.

It’s unclear what exactly he is refuting by: “It wasn’t Robin who left you for dead.” Does he not count Tim leaving Dorrance hanging as “leaving him for dead” or is the implication that Bruce thinks Shiva was the one who both threw Dorrance out the window and off the ledge? We never actually see what Tim told Bruce.

This leaves us with some possibilities:

that what Tim did by leaving Dorrance to dangle, by leaving him to Shiva, does not count against Batman’s no-killing rule.

Perhaps that Bruce does not feel that he could have expected or wanted Tim to step between Shiva and her target, Dorrance

that Bruce does not actually know what really happened—that Tim kicked Dorrance out the window, which in turn implies that either Tim may have stretched the truth or Bruce misinterpreted (purposefully?) what Tim told him

These all seem inconsistent, however, with incidents further down the line, with Cluemaster for example, and then when Tim rebukes Azbats for leaving Abattoir to die. A core tenet of Tim’s characterization is his sometimes frustrated but dedicated adherence to the no-kill rule (im beating anyone who cites the league bases at me away with a stick). So I don’t know what to do with this. Maybe it’s just comic inconsistency. Chuck Dixon, what are you doing?

If anyone has any thoughts about how to reconcile all this!! Please grant me peace

ADDENDA

i.e. stuff that I can’t possibly expect to be addressed in comics, but that I think about anyway

Related to this arc—a point is made a few issues later that Tim at this time doesn’t really have anyone to confide in. He can't really talk to Batman, isn’t close to Dick at this point, and while he is willing to work with Alfred and ask for help with Bat-related things, they’re not yet emotionally close. This isolation is poignantly demonstrated by him confessing his troubles to his still-comatose father.

Robin II #2

WHOM then would he have talked to about all that happened on his little “world tour”? No one? Besides whatever happened with Dorrance and brutal training and isolation, he also had to deal with the fact that Clyde Rawlins—whom he presumably developed some sort of camaraderie with (it’s tim ;-; he forms connections) was killed by Dorrance while working this mission with him.

We know that he had no one to talk to about all that. Did Tim linger on Rawlins????? On the fact that Shiva called him her weapon?? My boy is 13 ;-;

I also love that the whole buildup to Tim’s debut as Robin is Bruce agonizing about whether he should allow another boy to assume the position that cost him his son, and is then followed by plenty of moments after of Batman being overprotective.

Batman (1940) #468

And yet, when Tim is like “I need an edge to be Robin” presumably Bruce?? although this is never explicit connects him with a martial artist in Paris and sends him off on his own. It’s also possible that Tim is the one who comes up with this given that he agonizes a bit over whether he’s doing right by choosing his own path

Robin I #1

Either way, Tim goes to Paris Alone and essentially Unsupervised.

This lack of supervision is further emphasized by the fact that he goes to hunt down a king pin all the way to Hong Kong with Lady fucking Shiva and an ex DEA agent and no other back up. And Bruce presumably doesn’t find out until Tim runs into the hitman Henri Ducard in Hong Kong, who is apparently Batman’s acquaintance. (#5)

I have so many questions. I know that the actual reasoning is probably “oh we want to give this new character a little mini adventure arc on his own!!! To showcase how cool and independent the new robin is” but STILL

(also tim immediately getting himself a little team :’) I lub him)

Imagine if Oscar takes the stone and becomes scratch's host but like

Still keeps his lucidity

Cause if scratch is like John, a fragment, there's still a chance Oscar can... Idk keep his mind?? Like Arthur did

I really want this to happen

So I can hear the betrayal in his voice when he realizes Arthur did this to him

That it was the one he called his purpose that betrayed him in the end, that turned him into a monster.

Bro I am Loosing my mind over your header gif. Did you create this. If so I praise it. Is it from a sfm video or just a one off thing. Either or is equally amazing

HI so I didn't make it BUT if you're interested in it... it's from an SFM called Spy's Disguise!!! it's my ABSOLUTE favorite and I will link it here... PLEASE give it a watch, I don't know if you've watched Emesis Blu but it's connected to that and it's super cool!!!

have i ever told y’all about my headcanon of iggy being a huge science nerd, specifically about his and the flocks biology

like

he takes everyone’s temperature to establish a baseline so that they know what a too high or low temperature for them is

he has medical notes on everyone in the flock to keep track of any issues they have

he researches a lot about hybrids and anything else at all related so that he can take care of his family cuz who the fuck else is going to do it. not a fucking doctor that’s for sure, because yk. doctors offices bring up a lot of bad shit for them

while jeb was raising them all, he wrote down any and all information given to them by jeb about their biology (in the fourth book, max says they need about 5000 calories a day when it’s warm, which i hc as either something jeb told them or something that iggy found out through measuring how much he ate in a day or whatever)

like i’m just imagining him as a twelve year old or something, sitting at a desk & calculating averages of calories consumed per day to establish a baseline, muttering to himself about the numbers or whatever and the rest of the flock just being like. okay whatever nerd (lovingly of course)

i also like to think about his relationship with jeb in regards to this. maybe he was constantly asking jeb questions about their biology when they were being raised by him at the e house. maybe they talked about how flight works a lot. maybe they bonded over their love for weird hybrid biology. maybe he felt disgusted by himself for ever loving jeb like a dad when it turns out that he was a bad guy the whole time

idk man. i’m just. hhhhhhhhh science nerd iggy

[nicky-jr]

you wanna know one thing about the trial verdict that really gets me. that i dont think ive ever heard anyone really talk about. is just the implications of morgan being alive in this new timeline at all. like theoretically the only significant change made to the timeline was morgan ending up with jodie instead of glenn. specifically keeping morgan alive wasnt part of the ultimatum. so wouldnt that imply that glenn being in morgans life eventually butterfly-effects into her death? that her being with someone other than him would keep her alive, whether through a series of actions or just one decision? of course, its hard to blame someone for causing something like that. its not like they couldve known, or really even do anything about it. but technically, its true. the evidence is right there. the love of his life was better off without him. so is that fucked up or what

So I was listening to heathers (as one does) and while listening to our love is god, I couldn't help but think of Sherlock...

Imagine it, Sherlock would seemingly kill men for making John upset. Imagine Sherlock greatly misinterpreting how far their relationship would actually go. Comparing it to the strength of religion. John, quietly begging him to stop but too afraid of him to actually hurt him... Oh wait, that technically happened.

I suddenly have the motivation to write a fic... See y'all in an hour or so
