Game-night in the batfamily has got to be crazy. You're putting a bunch of geniuses against each other and that's asking for chaos to happen.
#And when they play team up games they have to make a toss-up because they cannot decide on the teams#Nobody wants to play with Bruce except for Cass#Or Tim and Dick also if they feel bad enough#Jason wants to play with nobody#Damian thinks he could do best alone#but he would choose Grayson if he needs to#He can't tho because they make it random#Duke has no personal issues with anybody so he's a safe option for a team-up#Jason Tim and Damian however...#Steph enjoys those nights the most#Along with Dick#Except they enjoy it for very different reasons#Steph and Cass always want to be a team#That's why they need a toss-up#(Nobody likes the toss-up but Alfred started it for fairness in the game)#Tim has the worst luck so he's gotta be really smart with his moves#Or cheat without being noticed#Both work depending on who he's playing with/against#You would expect Jason to be the cheater but he's weirdly fair...#(He's a petty loser tho)#(Specially when Bruce wins)#Dick is just trying to avoid conflicts between siblings while also being the biggest asshole of a big brother whenever he can#Give Alfred a break#And somebody get Bruce out of there he's too old to play (Jason probably)#dick grayson#bruce wayne#jason todd#tim drake#damian wayne#batfamily

More like dr stupid
#doodle#wordgirl#wordgirl fanart#dr two brains#amazo guy#steven boxleitner#i need to learn how to color brah#c4 art#I’m so upset so I drew rat guy instead#Instead of squishing somebody with my foot and balling them up and dribbling them around like a basketball but then filling the basketball#up with too much air so when I bounce it really hard it explodes and it’s gone and I never see it again and the basketball will never see#the light of day again or those pearly white gates because the basketball was evil#the ball was evil#I’m telling you#it said bad things to me#so I filled it with air and exploded it#now it’s gone#It will never torment me again and I’ll be so happy I’ll do a little jump and tap my heels together as I do so#I’ll start whistling whenever I walk and I’ll be so joyous and jubilant and yipeeeeeeeee

My mom sent me a watercolor she just did and I’m going a little crazy over it, tbh.
#it’s such a simple subject#flowers in a field at sunset#and it’s the sunflower + tulips + lupin combination that you see whenever you ask somebody to draw different flowers#but she has this red abstract squiggly border that looks just like the illuminations in manuscripts#and the sunset wash bleeds all together#and there’s this gradient in the muddy yellow of the sunflower#and you look at it. and you can tell. whoever made this had fun.#they enjoyed putting the colors down#the green layers of grass#the delicate squiggles of red#the tiny little flowers and the giant swath of sky#I’ve ranted and raved about how technical excellence /needs/ to be pursued#but - perhaps because I believe in excellence and not despite of it -#Every step along the way#every ‘beginner’s mistake’#every naive piece every foray into something new every attempt to make something beautiful#just inspires so much love and joy in me.#It’s beautiful. because it’s an attempt to express the inexpressible.

Tim Drake has a weird fucking function
The thing about Tim that I find unique is that his life became SO MUCH WORSE after joining the heroing thing. Everybody else had a mid-to-shit life before becoming a hero/living with Bruce and mostly everybody (except Jason who LITERALLY DIED) had their life improved by being a hero/being Bruce's kid (or at least it is typically portrayed as such.
Tim had the exact opposite trajectory. His life wasn't perfect before he became Robin, but like...multi-millionaire/billionaire (canon is unclear, but he's within Gotham's upper-strata) kid with both natural intelligence + charisma and a bright future ahead of him and parents who were emotionally neglectful but nothing really beyond that (which is also a form of trauma, but all of the info we have indicates that the Drakes were no Arthur Brown or David Cain) and he still had other people he could rely on outside of them. He went to boarding school, which could be something horrible OR something amazing depending on your own thoughts/experiences. I grew up having a commute where we'd drive past a really pretty and rich af boarding school that literally everybody in our area DREAMED of going to, so to me the idea of going to boarding school sounds incredible but mileage may vary. Tim seems like the type of kid who would thrive in that though. Based on what we know in canon atm, his pre-robin life was fucking amazing.
And then he starts being the sidekick and working towards becoming Robin. His parents immediately get kidnapped and poison themselves through drinking tainted water; his mom dies and his dad is in a coma. This is not the fault of Robin, but Tim himself muses about the idea that Robin and dead parents are linked: to become Robin completely, you must lose your parents. And with how fate/destiny/canon events can operate in comics universes, maybe he isn't that far off. Once his dad wakes up, their relationship becomes strained as the man grieves the loss of his wife and realizes that his son has been doing vigilantism as a hobby. It is unclear exactly how good of a parent Jack was before the incident, but the results of Tim's involvement with the Robin mantle has definitely made things worse between father and son. Jack will also die within quick succession of 2 of Tim's best friends, his girlfriend, and his other father. He will also effectively lose like 1/2 his loved ones in the fallout of all of that mess including: his older brother, his other friends (both civilian and superhero), and the stepmother with whom he shared what I would argue is his best parent-child relationship (Dana also may have died, but it's left unclear). He has stopped pursuing higher education (the moment he even applied for college he 'died', and it seems he hasn't made another attempt since) and if he wasn’t a major focus of the media before he sure is now. He tries to quit briefly (in fact he initially was planning on quitting once someone more suited came along) and cannot bring himself to do so. Even when he does manage to get away for a while, his superhero life impacts the pre-robin life he is trying to go back to. Leaving is an impossibility, this is all there is for him now. He also isn’t allowed to make mistakes anymore, not when lives hang in the balance. The one who enforces that impossible standard the most (besides Bruce depending on who's writing) is himself. He’s got TRAUMA now and people want to hurt him constantly. He is constantly questioning his own sanity and morality and place in the world. He almost dies like every month. Tim grows colder and less grounded, he is becoming both a better and a worse version of himself at the same time. He’s saving lives in the same few issues as he’s setting up a Saw movie plot for the man who killed his father. He is haunted by the ghosts of his past and the looming figure of his future. His life becomes SO MUCH FUCKING WORSE after he becomes Robin. Some of it is the fault of others, some is the fault of circumstance, and some of it is due to his own actions. But basically all of Tim's worst traumas and life-changing moments are either tied to or caused by Robin. Dick's parents would still be dead, Jason would still be living on the streets, Stephanie would still have Arthur Brown for a father and a lot of other things that deserve their own posts/IDK if they've been retconned, and Damian would still have been raised in the eco-cult where death is a constant. Those are life circumstances that occur without the involvement of Robin, the only one who even needs Bruce involved at all in their series of events is Damian. But Tim? All of what is considered his 'worst' moments occur after he assumes the role.
This idea is what I find the coolest and most fascinating about Tim as a character. Being a hero is usually portrayed as either an outright awesome thing or a righteous duty that one must fulfill or (maybe in a grimmer and/or more grounded story) a sacrifice to your interpersonal relationships/mental health that is made for the greater good. For Tim, being a superhero actively ruined his life (both because of the general circumstances surrounding being a kid vigilante and the choices he made as part of that role). It's never portrayed that way in canon because we need to come out of issues going 'wow being a superhero is so cool! I'm gonna buy the next issue!', but when you just look at Tim's life literally everything really bad that we know of occurred after he became Robin.
#tim drake#batman#batfamily#Red Robin 2009#Red Robin#idk this is just why I think Tim is a really interesting character. I'm probably not being as articulate as I could be but it's tumblr so#I've had a lot of people say that they think Tim is the most boring robin. And I disagree because I don't think any of them are boring#but it is definitely the hardest to explain what makes Tim interesting to people with only a cursory knowledge#and it doesn't help that a lot of what makes Tim cool relies on his relationships with OTHER characters.#like you can explain why Jason is cool and interesting without even mentioning Batman if you really want to.#with Tim you need a fucking relationship chart and like 11 asterisks whenever anything involving the 'Bruce is dead' era is involved#so I just felt like typing up why I think he can really work as an exploration of somebody who straight up got WORSE after heroing#granted it's never actually stated because DC needs to make money. and tbh the closest we've ever gotten is Red Robin 2009#which I feel is dubiously canon at best at this rate. was it retconned? did any of it happen in the current universe?

I wanted to say thank you to everybody who left a nice comment on my Leonardo Ghost 💖The longer I work on all the things I got going on, the more my mind gaslights me into thinking that Leo is incredibly unfinished and I am very bad for not being an update machine, but your kind comments about how well-made he is always quell my anxiety and make me remember that it's not a crime if I leave him as he is. I did a good enough job. Adding stuff can wait. He's good enough.
Thank you 💗
#yes i stare at all the kind comments and consume them intently#ghost future leonardo#ghost future leonardo dev#thank you <3#being a perfectionist is the WORST thing#it gets to my head so much thats like 'whats the point of making this if its not gonna be perfect or accurate'#somebody needs to aim a gun at me and tell me 'whenever is in your head is fine just put it down on the goddamn paper'

RICK'S CLOUD NINE TERROR, THE PEOPLE, October 18, 1987
"SUPER-COOL pop star Rick Astley has confessed his secret fear . . . he is scared of HEIGHTS.
His chart-topping Never Gonna Give You Up has sent his head spinning as well as the turntables. Rick, 21, has been flying all over the Continent promoting the record - which has now sold 750,000 copies, making it the biggest hit of 1987. But he can't wait to get his feet firmly back on the ground at home in Newton-le-Willows, Lancs. His manager, Dave Warwick, said yesterday: "These trips have been a nightmare for him. If it were possible, we would drive him everywhere. "It's not the actual flying that upsets him - it's being so high above the ground. Last week, Rick flew to Greece but turned down a trip to the Parthenon because he couldn't face looking down from its dizzy heights. His record company, RCA, is vetting Rick's appearance venues to try to avoid any upsets. "Nothing really bothers me - except heights," said the singer, whose new record, Whenever You Need Somebody, is out tomorrow. But he does have another phobia - one shared by Royal redhead Fergie - snakes. "If I see a picture o one it's enough to make me pass out," said Rick."
#rick astley#its hard to read so typed out version is under the 'keep reading' <3#they make it sound like something super scandalous#gasp heights ?!#text#magazine clipping#1980s#1987#The people#nggyu#newton le willows#Greece#parthenon#whenever you need somebody

So I have this playlist filled with fun dancing music that I like to listen to when working on stuff like the Roleswap comic. It’s a random mix of genres mostly consisting of 60s, 70s, 80s, and other toe tapping classics. Oh, and a lot of disco! Haha.
I thought it could use a good playlist photo of the Roleswap heroes inspired by other album covers of the time. I find myself drawn to vintage art styles so I just went and had fun with it! I figured the colorful and swirly album cover style would be a good place to start :)
#king dedede#meta knight#elfilis#forgotten land roleswap#art#kirby and the forgotten land#kirby#tw eyestrain#possibly! just wanna be safe about it#my dad shared his favorite music with me as a teenager and turned me into a disco lover HAHAHA#my favorites rn are Donna summer and Rick astley (UNIRONICALLY!!)#yes I said rick astley!!#The Whenever You Need Somebody album EATS#and I want everyone to listen to it beyond never gonna give you up#which is also a good song but his voice is like liquid velvet mmmm#together forever is A CUTE SONG#thank you for reading my presentation on why rick astley’s music ROCKS

Sentient Wayne Manor au in my head i love you
#currently thinking about jason post-resurrection trying to enter the house again#only to find that the unlocked perfectly functional door always gets stuck when he tries to open it#he always has to be let in by somebody else#the Manor knows that there is something Wrong with him. he is different.#also the Manor changing its layout whenever it feels the need#young bruce running late for school in the morning and suddenly there's a single hallway between his bedroom and the front door#teenage bruce leaving for training and he's walked past the same door four times already because the Manor won't let him leave#the Manor being there to protect Bruce. it will extend the protection to his kids but first and foremost it will always choose bruce#like when youre a kid and your parent is in a bad mood and suddenly the whole house feels colder and smaller#or when you need to be so quiet but it seems like every floorboard is creaky and all the hinges on the doors need replacing#this is all in the tags because i love Sentient Manor and i have so many thoughts about it but absolutely none of them are coherent#bruce wayne#batman

The Pokemon HOME app limiting random features and information to either the mobile or console versions is SO clunky and annoying.
My goal: to check which of my favorite Pokemon and shinies stored in HOME don't have the Paldea Champion Ribbon yet, so I can bring those into Scarlet and get it for them. But! You can only view what ribbons a Pokemon has on the mobile version of the software! And you can't move Pokemon to your switch games from mobile!!! So you have to:
quit out of the console app, if you opened it already because you thought this would be a relatively simple task
open the app on mobile
manually document which Pokemon don't have the ribbon- like, on a piece of paper or something
close the mobile app (you can't have both versions of the app open simultaneously)
open the app on console
move them from HOME into Scarlet, referring to aforementioned list
Now you might say "There is a custom tag feature in Pokemon HOME! You could apply a tag to the Pokemon you plan to move instead of making a physical note on a piece of paper!" But unfortunately, the only aspect of the tag you can see on the console version is the color- the name of the tag isn't visible. and I'm already using every color of tag available
(also: you can only make and apply tags on mobile. other mobile exclusive things: wonder trade and gts, viewing 90% of achievements, viewing models, switching between a pokemon's stats for different games it can go in without switching what game you're planning on moving things between)
#pokemon home#pokemon#i need a text post tag#i have more complaints too. i should make a comprehensive list. just for me#like: shinies don't have any symbol marking them as such on the GTS. so for the really subtle shinies? you just have to look REAL careful#whenever you import pokemon from Bank they automatically get tagged with a new tag with the name of the Box that they were imported from#which is maybe useful to somebody but its just super annoying for me to have to keep deleting the 'Kanto 1' tag from all of my Bank imports#the lighting in the model viewer is really fucking bad and makes the pokemon look flat and undefined#overlapping areas that are the same color blend together visually#for that matter; the HOME renders are really fucking ugly. compare them to the sugi art they're posed after sometime. terrakion. its WILD#the lag when moving between pages of boxes on the console version when you have a lot of pokemon stored in HOME is MISERABLE#the mobile app and console app have different sets of achievements that are only viewable on their respective apps???? its weird#can't reorder pokemon's box positions on mobile; you just get a big list that you can sort different ways#this doesn't affect their box placement at all#the tags seem really useful at first but if you're moving pokemon between HOME and games a lot?#you have to reapply the tags to those pokemon every time you put them back in HOME because that data is lost once they leave the app#they never fixed the Spinda problem with BDSP; they just made it so that you can't bring Spinda in or out of those games
