Okie-doki— I’ve seen several statements along the lines of “Tim Drake never wanted to be a vigilante and he only did that bc Batman needed Robin!”

That’s not inaccurate is also not 100% right.

Pre-Robin Tim did want to be a vigilante in the same way you want to famous. It was an unrealistic daydream and he was okay to leave it at that.

(I’m not sure if this is explicitly stated but this is definitely a reasonable interpretation.)

Once Jason died Tim did shift the responsibility onto himself (his motivation can vary depending on the comic but a good portion of the time it was for Batman’s sake.)

Now while Tim’s moral compass is incredibly hard to pinpoint we do know that now that Tim has taken this responsibility there is no going back for him. Now he has the power to protect so he has to protect. In his eyes it would be immoral not to use this power.

(keep in mind Tim has the tendency to be hypocritical and his characterization changes a shit ton over the years so this will not apply to every comic— I’m speaking more of in a general sense. )

there are some nuances between ‘want’ and ‘feel-the-responsibility-to’ but I don’t really wanna get that deep into the topic— just know that if Tim didn’t ‘want’ to be a vigilante he’d quit once Bruce came back.

Conner Phantom, learning to live

It had been a few years since Vlad and Danny had stopped being enemies, years since Amity had been at peace with the ghosts. Danny spent his days teaching his children (he assumed they were his children) about well, everything.

Dan and Ellie had prefabricated knowledge, the halfa couldn't quite get it, but the point was that while they knew who was the creator of the chemistry, they had no idea how to do 2 + 2, so he made it his homework to fill in all the gaps.

No one at Amity blinked at the 30-year-boy-who-was-actually-12 and the 15-year-girl-who-was-actually-4, Danny guessed they had gotten used to the weirdness. One day, Vlad called and pointed out that someone had entered his database a few months ago (apparently he checked his digital security very little when he didn't make "evil" plans) and they had stolen the plans for the cloning capsule. Danny had a bad feeling.

Of course, it was after a month of searching that he found out about Lex Luthor's little "project." To say that he was angry was an understatement; he found the poor Superboy being mind controlled. He felt sad when he remembered Ellie's situation and well, he ended up stealing a clone child and destroying some laboratory. Like old times.

The world did not know of Phantom; Amity was suspicious, almost jealous that their protector could be taken away if they said a word, so they didn't say anything out of the city. It's not like the League did anything when they called. Danny didn't care, less tedious meetings and contingency plans for him. Besides, he wasn't excited about going back to the field if he didn't have to, as long as Amity was safe, the world could be destroyed for all he cared.

He wondered if spending too much time with Dan was affecting him, but in the end he dismissed the thought. Upon arriving home, Superboy had woken up and was being interrogated by the Phantoms. He chose his name to be Conner (sounds good apparently) and agreed to take classes to fill in the gaps of knowledge, just like Ellie, he seemed uncomfortable with the gaps.

The poor boy looked uncomfortable, waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it never did. After finding out whose clone he was, he wondered if they would take him to Superman, but Danny just snorted. By the end of the week, Conner was a Phantom, and he was fine with that. Danny even told him that he could live normally if he wanted to, and the boy happily accepted the offer. Conner didn't want to be a hero, at least not that early, and Danny was happy with his decision.

Danny frowned thinking of all the heroes who would say that is "selfish" for someone with power to not to use it. But he believed that they were doubly selfish. Being a teenage hero wasn't fucking easy. He hugged Conner, welcoming him to the family and within days, the whole town already knew about him (they also knew whose clone he was, but they didn't really care, they weren't snitching).

Curiously, it was Tim Drake who noticed the strange family visiting Gotham (a 23-year-old seemed to be berating a 30-year-old for stealing tires, he snorted at the irony). However he froze when he saw Clark?, but much younger, speaking in Kryptonian and laughing. He called a meeting in the batcave and tried to call the family, but as soon as they saw the expression in his face they vanished from sight.

Hell, he needed to report it to Bruce.

One of my favorite things in Redwall is when Martin the Warrior gives someone a dream but makes sure they don't remember the dream until The Right Moment, even if it's like, days later.

Sometimes he even tells them in the dream "hey you'll remember the rest of this on Thursday" so they remember part of the dream and that there was more, but not all of it.

One of my other favorite things in Redwall is when Martin the Warrior fuckign possesses someone for a little bit bc they weren't doing anything and they needed to do something so well guess ole Martin will have to step in AGAIN.

Oxley Bom MotoGP podcast : Misano 2024 - Nature's Sprinkler Surprise

"But yeah Márquez, I mean, anybody that thought he was.. didn't have.. That he lost the skill. That he lost the hunger. That he lost the willingness to take risks. I think this two last weekend would show that he hasn't lost anything" "And talking about his physical strength you never, he never mentions it. Never never mentions it. I mean he did say, somebody did ask him how's his physical strength now compared to 2019? and he said 'well it's not as good'. But you don't really hear him says anything specific about it but on Thursday I was walking through the paddock and Márquez was riding..." "He has no weaknesses, he wants us to think he has no weakness" "Yeah. He was riding through the paddock on his scooter with his right arm, you know right hand holding the throttle, and his left arm was holding his upper arm around where it was sawed in half and he was wincing yeah? So he.. he probably thought no one was watching then but you know, that told me straight away that he's still in a lot of pain with that. But he.. There's no way he will say that because as soon as you say that people can think 'right, he's got a... there's a chink in his armor and if I keep pushing, in a fight, I can sort of get in there'. He never shows, never says anything about it but that really showed me that he probably still got a lot of pain and discomfort from that arm and it's still probably isn't as strong as it should be"

We all already know this (kind of) but yeah... kms

[spooked-skull-studios]

i was wondering if they were gonna change this from the comics... kate isn't as bad as she was originally, but the newly legal adult getting with her boss who is like 1000 years old, getting engaged in less than a year, and now agreeing to starting a family to have kids is... not great lmao

[stop-saying-tootsie]

just saw someone (on twitter) imply the idiots are getting too old to keep creating new projects because “they can’t do this forever” and i feel the need to remind people that 50 is not elderly and even if it was who gives a fuck

creativity doesn’t stop the older you get, talent doesn’t worsen. people are well into their 70s/80s and still creating beautiful art that we all consume and love. i hate this idea that there’s a time limit on when we need to do stuff by. the idiots are not going anywhere, they’re not nearing death for fucks sake they’re middle aged
