I think it’s really funny how Tim had at least one parent besides Bruce (who was not explicitly his parent for the longest time) for most of his time as Robin and yet nobody contests that he has been Bruce’s son, Dick’s brother, etc. since far before his actual adoption. But with Duke it’s a whole debate every time.
“Duke’s parents are still alive so it’s disrespectful” Tim’s stepmom was alive but unable to take care of Tim, when he was adopted by Bruce. Is it disrespectful to her to say Tim is Bruce’s son? Or does this argument only apply to Duke?
“Bruce didn’t adopt Duke, he was just his guardian” Do you know who else Bruce also didn’t adopt for his entire childhood? Or is Dick no longer Bruce’s son in any way whatsoever?
“Dick actually called Tim his brother” Jason’s included Duke as one of his brothers.
#i do not think it is funny#of course duke’s going to continue getting pushed out when fans refuse to show interest in him despite everything being handed to us#if fans are going to drool over the newest white character that dc gave less than half the attention they gave Duke at first then obviously#they’ll invest in those characters instead. they care about money and bat fans care about white ppl so it works out#and tim’s parents were alive in n52 but ppl still didn’t gaf. ‘every kid Batman spends 10 mins with is his kid EXCEPT the black boy he#took in and mentored and made his partner the same way as robin (4/5 of whom are explicitly called his children)#and who is called a brother by one of his sons and is included in a different son’s picture of bruce’s sons’#duke thomas#edit: removed the kate part sorry i forgor abt her near the tail end of pre flashpoint. bc i often forget abt that era in general and also#idc abt her oops. harper would probably be a better character to compare with but shes not too big either

endless list of otps: (remake) Callum and Rayla, The Dragon Prince
To have that kind of strength, it's not enough to love someone. You have to trust them to share the burdens you carry. [...] Callum, there's a... burden I'm carrying, and I've kept it a secret. And maybe that's part of what's made things weirder with us. But I think—I know that I trust you to help me carry this. If you're okay with that? Rayla. We've been through a lot together. And a lot has changed. Well, some things have changed—but not everything: I would do anything for you.
#rayllum#limiting this to only like 3 moments per season was. impossible and a crime#i'll have to do one of those Big picspams with them someday or something#maybe once all the seasons are out#tdpedit#the dragon prince#my edits#tdp#otp#otp: the most amazing person i've ever met#shout out to 'hey sad prince' 'we're lucky to have your as our friend. i do trust you'#all their dumb puns to each other esp in s3 and s5#'just push me-' 'Together <3'#the way this man jumping off a mountain for her was just scratching the surface of his insanity#all the hugs and helping each up and dumb shared smiles and bouncing ideas off each other <33#i love them So Much#enemies to friends to best friends And lovers to estranged besties to alterous as hell soulmates

I'm actually so obsessed with him it's not even funny if i'm not listening to a TikTok or music directly related to him I can't focus free me free me
This is @/cherubpuppet's OC for a object show [au? pitch? wip show? How do I categorize this] and I've been destroyed by the fact that ruler art is infinitely superior [and 10x longer] and i don't have a good enough grasp on lip gloss's personality to make fanfiction so I am frozen in "want make fanart but fanart takes effort :["
#also object shows are the new mlp community change my mind /ref#from what ive seen a very large part of the community is centered around death/gore or mature topics? it reminds me of the mlp infection au#that and smile hd and everybody keeps saying object shiws are kids shows - if kids are making this stuff then good for them /gen#every fandom has its toxic/proship/18+ side obviously but from my pov gen alpha needed something they coudl handle age appropriate extremes#with - its just alot harder to make compelling emotional angst/gore with newer ultra sanitized shows or w/ mascot horror#and like thats a whole nother tooic but its obvious to me younger kids have flocked to mascot horror so harshly because average kids tv is#much more afraid of tackling any big topics to the point that the ones that DO [bluey] immediately are pushed into front and center#but i mean i also rewatched a few episodes of the shows i grew up with and ngl i think we need shit like ren and stimpy and invader zim#i hate ren and stimpy and i didnt grow up with zim but i grew up with pbs kids shit and that shit looking back was hella boring i never#cared for any of the tv shows i saw aside from elmos world and even then i was hoping that something gorey would happen. at like 5 yrs old#im rambling anyway im not sure if im actually going to get into the os communitg but i AM horribly attached to tape to the point that its#maybe possibly becoming harmful to my mental health so im gonna stick around for him for like months#just know that if im not posting anything its because im obsessed with this guy#oh also DID/MALE SA REP LETS FUCKIN GOOO#I LOVE PSYCHOLOGY AND IVE HAD LIKE 4 FRIENDS WITH DID/OSDD I NEED MORE POSITIVE REP OF STIGMATIZED/COMPLEX DISORDERS !!!!!#art#tape dispenser#search for smos#talk talks#EDIT NO.

yes, hello, good evening, i was talking about it with boything earlier (fun tip: get your so into things you enjoy so they'll rubber duck for you, free entertainment), and specifically we were talking about the actual date-date a romanced rook and emmrich have and specifically about what he says (overall - the whole romance) to a mw rook and to a rook from ~somewhere else~
and yeah. part of it is definitely that they have an origin and profession in common, so you can talk about things like, oh, raising the cooks of a queen dead like twenty generations so you can woo somebody. a fact he specifically does not mention to a non-mw rook.
and yeah i think part of it is that a mw rook will absolutely get the significance and neatness factor of him going to those lengths for something like a quiet little romantic dinner.
but have you considered. and what i think is also happening, on the flipside. a lot of the time things like this specifically are less because he and a mw rook can geek out (though it's that, too), but because he's self-editing the whole time about what might be Too Much Too Soon on the weird scale for someone without that background to understand as anything other than maybe. idk. creepy. gross. unhinged, even.
and given his wistfulness in general i can guarantee you it's because - at some point in the past - he got Too Weird Too Soon, because he was Too Eager, and it was the romantic equivalent of stepping on a rake. (like emmrich baby you can't just unload the weird all at once, you gotta ease them in slow so they don't realize the full extent until it's too late c'mon.) he's vibe checking. the entire time up through that date he's vibe checking. vibe checking the seriousness of it. vibe checking the weirdness threshold (because he's very aware other people find nevarrans weird he's not stupid). everything about him moving into the courting phase is cautious as all fuck (even if he's not the best at, like, not using his face like a billboard), and it is so easy - between those things, his jabs at his orlesian ex, his refusal to talk about his romantic past for the most part, etc - to come to the conclusion he's been burned real bad at some point.
and while it's neat that a mw rook definitely gets some fun interactions because they can already pass the weird threshold vibe check, he's still cautious with them. and it's an interesting viewpoint on what he will (or in some cases can reveal considering he can't go spilling mourn watch secrets to just anybody, those are secret for a reason - imagine not being a watcher and finding out about the blood magic lmaoooo) and will not reveal to a non-mw rook, when you look at how cautious he is on the other avenues of relationship building.
#( headcanons )#// like i really do think he's vibe checking rook's ass no matter what faction they're from#// i don't think that's a big surprise tbh#// but i think it's interesting if you look at it through the lens of like#// self-editing#// for someone that doesn't share that background#// deciding what's too much to maybe just throw out there#// for someone that might be generally at least marginally neutral about the necromancy thing#// and like it's things that#// generally may not be that weird#// how often do you see the cook when you go out to dinner right#// but it's the specifics of what he leaves out generally#// that just kind of#// push me into thinking he's just entirely more cautious with someone not from that same background#// it does feel like they're eased in a little slower until#// you know#// the lich thing#// and hell if that's not a deal breaker-#// anyway here have my $0.02

me, stupidly and weirdly resistant to listening to audio books vs reading a physical book for no real reason: man i wish there was a way to like, read a book while i crochet like i do with tv shows and movies and podcasts
#toy txt post#my reasons are irrational you dont need to try to talk me into it. i KNOW#its very silly of me#imagine how much reading i could get done. but alas. Feels Bad#even listening to a more. uh. Story type podcast or fiction like nightvale was a bit difficult to start for me. i like nightvale now i#listened. but i worry that is clocking in my brain as an Exception 😔 maybe it would be easier if i tried some nonfiction books? scary#i also struggle with single host podcasts apparently even tho im also ehhhh on the kind where the structure is the host Interviewing a#different person everytime? maybe it would be okay with a nonfiction audiobook tho cos it would be getting read by a narrator and not sound#so much like a guy ranting into a mic which makes me feel a little insane. altho propaganda doesnt necessarily always sound like a guy#ranting into a mic so idk. i could probably make it through if i can find a nice book about like. parasitic worms. i could tolerate#feeling like im falling into sigma male affirmations videos for worms i think. wormffirmations are allowed#*to clarify i dont listen to those but listening to better offline makes me feel like im morphing into the kinda guy who does and i hate it#which feels unfair cos he is RIGHT and the podcast is good but i need there to be like a cohost there to break the tension of the Ranting#sometimes he has guests on? but its not quite the same#i think the format i like best is either like 2 or 3 regular cohosts discussing things within a specific topic#OR. 1 host whos like infodumping to the other host who knows nothing about the subject. OR. 2 hosts info dumping to each other about#different aspects of the subject. OR. 1 host who brings on fun guests to infodump to them about a subject. and then obviously the subject#needs to intrigue me. ex. sawbones well theres your problem (I HATE THAT THIS ONE IS BEST EXPERIENCED ON YOUTUBE😭 I WANT THEM TO JUST DUMP#ALL THE SLIDES INTO A BIG BLOG POST SOMEWHERE AND I CAN CHECK IN AND FOLLOW ALONG THAT WAY WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE MY PHONE SCREEN ON THE#WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!! but. im listening for free so its unreasonable to demand more of them BUT ALSO I FEEL LIKE JUST COPYPASTING ALL OF THE#SLIDES INTO A BIG BLOG POST ISNT THAT MUCH MORE EFFORT THAN EDITING A WHOLE YOUTUBE VIDEO? WAAAAAH. THEY DONT NEED TO BE TIMESTAMPED OR#ANYTHING JUST THROW EM IN ILL FIGURE IT OUTTTTTT#anyway. also more than 3 hosts is really pushing my ability to keep track of voices.#anyway: sawbones wtyp tpwky behind the bastards scam goddess#(which is true crime adjacent but focuses mainly on scams and isnt copaganda and laci is funny and cool)#common descent pod completely arbortrary maintenance phase if books could kill#deep sea podcast has more bringing ppl in to interview them about shit than i personally enjoy but i put up with it cos i do like the hosts#and the subject

Name: Red Hood
Pronouns: He/Him
Sexuality: Unlabeled Queer. Pan is the closest label.
Age: 22
Meta: idk
Lives In: The Alley
Occupation: Alleged Crime Lord
Vices: Smokes if he’s extremely stressed
Yes, Batman and Brucie are fucking. Yes @flying-graysons-fan and @the-coolest-red-robin are my brothers. No, Batman is NOT my father.
This is an RP Account!
(old links below)
I work with @the-only-nightwing and @the-coolest-red-robin (they’re brothers your honor)
@the-second-boy-wonder is my little brother (ahem. His brother-son)
@cant-have-shit-in-gotham is one of my henchmen (the same ooc runs both accounts)
@shakespeares-favorite-goon is one of my goons
@stitches-stitches-stitches is my newest henchman. He lives with me.
@back-in-blood works for me (legally)
@flying-graysons-fan and @number1-red-robin-stan are squatting in my favorite safehouse
@super-duper-superboy is from metropolis. He got into my safehouse and won’t leave.
[Interaction rules below the cut, at the very bottom, just above my various tags]
Appearance:
Under the helmet: (specific scars not shown here: small chunk missing in upper right ear, big-ass batarang scar across his throat, palm scar from brotherhood oath) He’s about 6’4.
I have no artistic skill. I did not draw those. Credit goes to the actual artists.
What’s Canon for This Jason?
-Orphaned at (barely) 8
-Taken in by B at (almost) 11
-Adopted by B at 13 (Name change to Todd-Wayne)
-Saved Wil from a gang at 14 (W is 12)
-Killed at (barely) 15
-Buried next to shelia (gravestone reads Jason Peter Todd)
-Revived 6mo later (kinda braindead)
-Talia found him a few weeks after that
-He was put in charge of protecting Damian, Talia tried to get him to heal naturally (D is 2)
-Ra’s got impatient
-Talia bargained for use of the Pits
-Damian and Jason swear an oath of brotherhood
-eventually Jason goes back to Gotham (J is 17)
-Takes over crime and drugs and shit (D is supposed to be sent over just as J gets control. He’s trying to make it safer for his brother)
-NO FUCKING TITANS TOWER INCIDENT
-well ok, he goes there and tries to scare Tim out of being Robin, but it’s 99% posturing and “warnings” and 1% punching a hole in a wall (Tim does not get hurt, and Jason does not try to hurt him. Because I said so)
-Meets and hires Wil at 18 (W is 16)
-The batarang-throat incident did happen. His goons had to peel him off the cement and take him to Doc Thompkins. Jason flatlined three times. (Wil was among them) (J is 19, W is 17)
-Goons are now super protective of him btw. Esp the ones that were there.
-Talia decides not to send D to B when she hears.
-Yk that time when Batman drugged Jason with something so that every time his adrenaline got going he’d get pumped full of fear? that ALMOST happened here. The needle was to his neck when the other birds interrupted.
Also canon are
-Jason is some kind of mixed heritage of vaguely Spanish-speaking descent. Passes for white in Gotham (where there’s no sun) but if he tans at all he doesn’t anymore.
-Jason speaks. So Many languages.
-Jason Al Ghul
-GoodMom!Talia who couldn’t do enough to help her sons
-BadParent!Bruce who gets better with each kid (so, bad for dick, barely better for jason, slightly better for tim, decent for cass and duke) but the previous kids don’t reap the rewards (so still bad for dick and jason, slightly better for tim, etc)
-GoodBrother!Dick
-Jason loves Wonder Woman
He has PTSD! Woooo! (Btw shamelessly stealing “Proper Gotham Parent” (making it proper family tho) and the “PTSD-attack-make-him-think-he’s-bleeding-out(from batarang)-again” from Alley Business by thetiniestteapot on Ao3
The trigger list may change over time
He’s also got claustrophobia (worsened if it’s dark)
main triggers are: the feel of silk (esp purple/red), manic laughter, batarangs/similar weapons flying towards him, the joker, being called a monster and doing/saying/someone thinks he did ‘monstrous’ things
minor triggers are: the smell of mahogany, constant beeping/ticking, Batman’s disappointed-pleading-angry voice, the smell of stale-wet dirt (esp mixed with blood)
(Also- I don’t have ptsd, so if I fuck something up, tell me and I’ll fix it)
Who Does he Consider Family?
Alfred- Grandfather. will admit it, has admit it.
Talia- Mom. likes to reference her vaguely as his Mom or T
Catherine- she may be dead, but she was his Ma.
Dick- older brother, but only admits it to Dick or other family. Has admit it to Dick.
Cass- sort-of-twin sister, also wouldn’t outright admit it, but she Knows.
Tim- little brother. will only admit it to people who are very close to Jason or very close to Tim. has admit it.
Damian- little brother. will admit it, hasl admit it to. calls him habibi and ahki.
Jay Todd, Robin- his son. will admit it, has admit it. calls him Little Red
Morel- his kid.
To a lesser extent:
Steph, Duke, and Babs, as family-of-my-family
His goons, in a distant sort of way
The Alley kids, in a distant sort of way
Not even remotely:
Shelia, Bruce, Ra’s
(I don’t speak any language other than English. I’m using Google translate and fanfics. Please correct me.)
Rules for Interacting:
1) Please talk to me. I am cripplingly lonely.
2) Cussing, NSFW, etc. is fine
3) Dont ship this Jason with anyone. I’ve got plot to do. (Jokes are fine, just not incestual/psudo iscestual, r@pe/non con, or outside of his age group)
4) My brain can be a little funky sometimes—dm me before you send me an (unprompted) rp ask. This is to give me an idea of what’s going on. (N & Z are exempt) I have the right to not rp with you if my brain isn’t vibing with it.
Plot tags:
Welcome to Gotham Arlo - back-in-blood centered
Part X of my Tragic Backstory - cant-have-shitin-gotham centered
batfam without the bat - centered around Hood’s family (or not-family)
red hood’s goons - centered around or includes Jason's goons.

i'm writing a speculative short story for this writing class i'm taking where a cleaning robot witnesses a bloody mutiny and its aftermath. (why? no clue, i just love the idea.) for a long time, i only knew what i wanted the robot to be named and just had placeholders for the humans involved, but yesterday i finally went in and gave them all names. and halfway through the naming game i had the VERY amusing (to me) thought of giving the ship officers all names of historical ship officers involved in deadly ship crashes that ended in cannibalism. (the mutiny that serves as the plot is based on a lack of food resources after their ship gets attacked lol.) so the ship's first officer is named fitzjames. i'm rubbing my hands together eagerly waiting to see who will expose themselves as terror fans in this class or if i'll get away with my easter eggs.
#liveblogging life#this story has lived in the back of my brain for MONTHS so im glad i'm finally pushing myself to finish it#as i was outlining it i was like 'oh. this one's actually pretty bleak whoops' ah well my angst demon is coming out i guess#i named all the other ship people after historical ship officers lmao it was pretty fun#also i'm doing this from the pov of the robot so like. all the fic prose is formatted as code#but i am not a programmer and do not even know basic coding language beyond like. html.#so as i'm writing i'm going: huh should i try to make this more like real life code?#but i think i'm falling on the same of a) i don't have the time to learn code before this story is due anyway and b)#if this is in a fake future it's possible code has shifted enough to look significantly different and c)#using real life code would likely make this story harder to read and the plot harder to follow and be too repetitive tbh#i'm also hoping there arent any comp programmers in this class who will call me out on my shitty completely fabricated code lmao#anyway i wrote a big chunk of this yesterday and i'm hoping to get the rest done this weekend so i can edit before submitting weds

I really liked Ramon's idea of filling a tag with cute little things for Fit's birthday, and I was like "Hey, I got a bit of time to spare today, I can whip something up real quick. Surely I don't have THAT many clips of Fit!"
Well...
#mod talk#head in hands#I don't even think this is all of them this is just ones I've remembered to tag with Fit's name#I've been archiving since last April. I've got. A lot of clips. Which I should probably be putting on an external hard drive at this point#Anyways re: the video; I've whittled it down a lot and it's still almost 5 minutes long#I am NOT going to post a 5 minute long video I'm cutting this thing down to like. 3 minutes MAXIMUM#I don't think anyone would watch that and frankly even 3 minutes is pushing it#I liked the last big compilation edit I did before recent events made me unhappy about the subject#So I'm mostly doing this for my own sake and for fellow fans because I think it'll give everyone a laugh#also Ramon because his admin is a sweetie for thinking of this#anyhoo. ya boy's real tired but putting these things together is pretty fun#it's time consuming but tbh the hardest part is just the subtitling. It's just super tedious and time consuming#the rest is fun even if it's also a bit time consuming#I try to keep RA pretty light on textposts but I think it's fun sharing behind the scenes notes about what I'm working on

The China Syndrome (1979)
"I may be wrong, but I'd say you're lucky to be alive. For that matter, I think we might say the same for the rest of Southern California."
#the china syndrome#1979#american cinema#james bridges#t.s. cook#mike gray#jane fonda#jack lemmon#michael douglas#scott brady#james hampton#peter donat#wilford brimley#richard herd#daniel valdez#stan bohrman#james karen#nick pellegrino#donald hotton#paul larson#michael alaimo#incredibly intense movie. the way this builds tension in the last third is unreal‚ a steady ratcheting up from unease to full blown dread#didn't even realise i was frozen to the edge of my seat until the final minutes. career best for Lemmon? i really think it might be#cast entirely against type‚ not an iota of his comic persona‚ just an ordinary decent man pushed further and further into something#desperate and horrifying. his final lines absolutely gave me shivers. loved the editing on this too‚ the way it intercuts between#the team in the reactor‚ the team working to SCRAM it‚ the SWAT team and the producers at the news station. technically perfect cinema#and a real beautiful handling of the material. also love that this has time to address popular journalism practices and the gender gap on#tv news as well as the larger conspiracy element. really great film‚ just how much took me by surprise#also that vibrating cup of coffee? 10x scarier than the similar moment in Jurassic Park. it might look like a thriller but this has the#blood and bones of a horror movie in places. it also has a big tortoise in one scene and that's always a nice addition
