Review of teaching day one: jfc it's terrifying to be the guy at the front of the room
#i don't have stage fright/anxiety over that but i do not have the charisma and self-confidence needed to project Authority Figure#i don't like projecting Authority Figure tbh but alas i have no choice (it is unfortunately my job to be Guy Who Knows Stuff)#it was kind of fun though. i liked going around and talking to the small groups#very wild mix of understandings going on which will be interesting to see develop but a lot of people were like this was really cool#which i'm taking as a win#and otherwise. well. you win some you lose some#this week was a disaster hopefully next week will be less so#perce rambles

I feel like I've complained about Tim's email situation in Gotham Knights before (edit: I have), but the truth of it is just so funny.
He's signed up for so many podcasts, video game streamers, and random news alerts; it's just a constant barrage of data going straight into his constantly whirring brain. Hell, he even floats the idea of the Batfamily having their own podcast as a way to correct misinformation about them (which Jason shoots down instantly), and it's made me realize something.
Timothy Drake would be a YouTuber.
In this universe specifically, Timothy Jackson Drake, the heir to Drake Industries and the foster son of the late Bruce Wayne would be a YouTuber.
Think about it. It'd be the perfect cover. Who would ever suspect that some 16-year-old nepo baby with a YouTube channel could ever be Red Robin? You'd have to be mad. I mean, look at him.
Red Robin just dropped out of literal thin air and garotted someone four times his size, and you expect anyone to believe that's the same kid who does 24-hour Minecraft charity streams and occasionally drops 6-hour video essays (his last one was on Lex Luthor's illegal bit mining operation on the moon)?
That kid?
You think that kid is Red Robin?
Ch'yah, okay, sure. And the Joker is funny 🤡.
#gotham knights game#I'm now incorporating this into all my Tim headcanons across the multiverse#twice a week as part of maintaining his Normal Teenager Identity#he streams random shit on YouTube/Twitch#he's got the full gamer set up in the background#LED lights around the ceiling and walls#rainbow keyboard/headset#mini fridge filled with Monster Energy Drinks#(other streamers have 'take a shot' prompts in chat. his audience has 'drink water before you die')#whenever he hosts a charity stream Bruce makes an appearance in chat via the official Wayne Enterprises account#and promises to match whatever they raise#and then hangs about for a bit to cheer Tim on#he's the epitome of 'are ya winning son?' meme#meanwhile off screen#Tim's keeping an eye on a seperate monitor#and helping Babs run remote ops#if his stream suddenly dies (which is does fairly often) he blames it on the Manor having shitty wifi#and that tracks#it's an old house#it's probably FILLED with lead and dead signal spots#in reality Tim killed the stream because Red Robin is needed#and no one will ever know

At your side [End of Season 2]
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#wen ning#jin ling#wen qing#jiang yanli#a-yuan#It may have taken a year but we did it! The end of season 2!!!#(Granted: this season was nearly twice the length of season one.)#It's been a really fantastic season to draw for. So many iconic moments! It was a lot of work but I had a blast B*)#I also enjoyed experimenting more and more with my comic style. I'm growing as a comic artist bit by bit!#There is even a little bit of shadowing in this one for next season. As a treat. All the fun (and not heart breaking) scenes to come!#Comic talk time: Recently saw 12 angry men for first time and I love the coincidence of the themes aligning here.#They both touch upon the horror of judicial systems - in which the most persuasive argument wins and the truth is a nuisance.#All it takes is one person to stand against the crowd and say 'I do not know what is true. And that is reasonable doubt enough.'#When the majority is for condemning someone guilty - that in itself is persuasive enough.#One will set their mind to what the 'truth' is and refuse to see it any other way. That their perspective is the only correct one.#No one is born with a monopoly on the truth.#Everyone has biases and agendas. Some care not for the outcome - only that they can be on the convenient side.#Lan Wangji is putting everything on the line to say 'I'm not going to go with the majority vote.'#And that is a huge deal in a story that is so politically focused as MDZS is. Everything is a careful chess move to these sects -#and to not play the game is basically sacrificing everything you are and your families name. For some it is unthinkable.#And there is no doubt in LWJ's mind. He would stand there and lose everything if it means upholding justice.#More importantly - these two have each other's backs. The bond is unbreakable. This is the most ride or die I have seen two people be.

Kimi explaining why he picked #7 instead of #6 as his driver number
#kimi räikkönen#kimi raikkonen#nico rosberg#yes i mashed up a bunch of different footage#bc i thought it would be cool to have the visuals of the three n. 6 cars winning#this is still so sweet to me. kimi had the 6 on his bike too as a kid. and then won the WDC with it. i'm sure it did mean something to him#yet he didn't take it in 2014 bc he knew nico wanted it to pay homage to his dad#and just kept the 7 from 2013 (which is objectively a very cool number)#and then nico won with it in 2016. it's nice!#ok organisation tags#c#nimi#shhh#keke rosberg#1st ferrari stint kimi#ar kimi#2007#1982#2016#2021#my posts

i am irrationally annoyed by the results of that poll about which scion could get closest to defeating the wol because we've canonically kicked estinien's ass multiple times, once while he was possessed by one of the most powerful dragons in existence, but the masses voted for him over g'raha tia, who not only has the power to transcend time and space, but who could also go toe-to-toe with emet-selch in terms of both power and wits
#ffxiv#ci.txt#this is just more to my point that the writers have been doing a BAD JOB with g'raha since the shadowbringers patch quests#they've boiled his entire character down to uwu cat boy which is cute and all but it kinda takes all that development and#throws it out the window which makes me really sad.#also i say this all as a person whose list of faves ranks estinien above g'raha#for the record i'm not mad at the voters i'm mad at the writers i think this is bringing up endwalker resentment for me#also if it's a question of estinien winning because g'raha would be hesitant#are you saying that estinien's loyalty to the wol at this point wouldn't cause him to hesitate as well?#come on.#i'm sorry my dog just woke me up from a nap and i'm grouchy pls don't hold it against me

CK S6 Part 2 Spoilers
Hi, I just want to vent about the brawl. This is a rant so, be warned.
So we all agree Tory will end up winning this tournament out of pity right?
Cause I'm sorry, but the show just stablished she needed Robby to save her from Zara and Sam to save her from the other Iron Dragons guy.
She needed to be fucking saved. TWICE. Instead of idk, having her get the glory for more than one hit?
So basically they are telling us "Tory will win, but that's cause Sam will not compete" since there's a leak saying she will be so torn cause of the death (that I'm still processing) she will abandon karate all together.
And people have the audacity to say the writers prefer Tory.
No, they don't.
Giving her a storyline and doing this is not liking the character.
They are saying Tory will never beat Sam no matter what she does, she can train whatever style she wants with whatever sensei she wants, but Sam and the power of Miyagi Do will always come out on top.
She had the BEST motivation, the best reason to win, and she will most likely, but not out of merit, she will win and again there will be this cast of doubt of "but what if Sam continued?"
Cause she can never beat Sam, no matter what. Sam is the writers favorite, even without storyline they will never let her have a clear loss against Tory.
Have I said I hate this season already?
#tory nichols#I won't tag sam cause honestly I'm scared of stans#this is just an opinion#I'm not a sam hater or anything#I'm just tired of seeing her win no matter what#cause she has no fucking stakes anymore#is she fighting? well she will win#what's the fun on that?#that's just it#i will address the death when I finish processing it which will take a while

"Hey Bulldog" performed by Fanny (featuring the extra verse they wrote) live on Beat-Club in 1971 (x)
#Fanny band#classic rock#The Beatles#cover#Hey Bulldog#rock music#1970s#1971#Alice de Buhr#Jean Millington#June Millington#Nickey Barclay#gifs#my gifs#Beat-Club#I discovered a new and easier way to make gifs! AND I tried coloring them (which is NOT easier. lol) 'for the first time in a long time'#(that was a Fanny pun and it was intended!) but I think I'm going to do some stuff differently (and will take longer) next time#but what do you all think? do they look decent (at least)? :/#they're definitely not perfect. especially as a set. but I think they look better than the video quality anyway. LOL which I consider a win

i’ve been thinking a lot about what is so unique and appealing about 80s robin jay’s moral standing that got completely lost in plot later on. and i think a huge part of it is that in a genre so focused on crime-fighting, his motivations and approach don’t focus on the category of crime at all. in fact, he doesn’t seem to believe in any moral dogma; and it’s not motivated by nihilism, but rather his open-heartedness and relational ethical outlook.
we first meet (post-crisis) jay when he is stealing. when confronted about his actions by bruce he’s confident that he didn’t do anything wrong – he’s not apologetic, he doesn’t seem to think that he has morally failed on any account. later on, when confronted by batman again, jay says that he’s no “crook.” at this point, the reader might assume that jay has no concept of wrong-doing, or that stealing is just not one of the deeds that he considers wrong-doing. yet, later on we see jay so intent on stopping ma gunn and her students, refusing to be implicit in their actions. there are, of course, lots of reasons for which we can assume he was against stealing in this specific instance (an authority figure being involved, the target, the motivations, the school itself being an abusive environment etc.), but what we gather is that jay has an extremely strong sense of justice and is committed to moral duty. that's all typical for characters in superhero comics, isn't it? however, what remains distinctive is that this moral duty is not dictated by any dogma – he trusts his moral instincts. this attitude – his distrust toward power structures, confidence in his moral compass, and situational approach, is something that is maintained throughout his robin run. it is also evident in how he evaluates other people – we never see him condemning his parents, for example, and that includes willis, who was a petty criminal. i think from there arises the potential for a rift between bruce and jay that could be, have jay lived, far more utilised in batman comics than it was within his short robin run.
after all, while bruce’s approach is often called a ‘philosophy of love and care,’ he doesn’t ascribe to the ethics of care [eoc] (as defined in modern scholarship btw) in the same way that jay does. ethics of care ‘deny that morality consists in obedience to a universal law’ and focus on the ideals of caring for other people and non-institutionalized justice. bruce, while obviously caring, is still bound by his belief in the legal system and deontological norms. he is benevolent, but he is also ultimately morally committed to the idea of a legal system and thus frames criminals as failing to meet these moral (legal-adjacent) standards (even when he recognizes it is a result of their circumstances). in other words, he might think that a criminal is a good person despite leading a life of crime. meanwhile, for jay there is no despite; jay doesn't think that engaging in crime says anything about a person's moral personality at all. morality, for him, is more of an emotional practice, grounded in empathy and the question of what he can do for people ‘here and now.’ he doesn’t ascribe to maxims nor utilitarian calculations. for jay, in morality, there’s no place for impartiality that bruce believes in; moral decisions are embedded within a net of interpersonal relationships and social structures that cannot be generalised like the law or even a “moral code” does it. it’s all about responsiveness.
to sum up, jay's moral compass is relative and passionate in a way that doesn't fit batman's philosophy. this is mostly because bruce wants to avoid the sort of arbitrariness that seems to guide eoc. also, both for vigilantism, and jay, eoc poses a challenge in the sense that it doesn't create a certain 'intellectualised' distance from both the victims and the perpetrators; there's no proximity in the judgment; it's emotional.
all of this is of course hardly relevant post-2004. there might be minimal space for accommodating some of it within the canon progression (for example, the fact that eoc typically emphasises the responsibility that comes with pre-existing familial relationships and allows for prioritizing them, as well as the flexibility regarding moral deliberations), but the utilitarian framework and the question of stopping the crime vs controlling the underworld is not something that can be easily reconciled with jay’s previous lack of interest in labeling crime.
#fyi i'm ignoring a single panel in which jay says 'evil wins. he chose the life of crime' because i think there's much more nuance to that#as in: choosing a life of crime to deliberately cause harm is a whole another matter#also: inb4 this post is not bruce slander. please do not read it as such#as i said eoc is highly criticised for being arbitrary which is something that bruce seeks to avoid#also ethics of care are highly controversial esp that their early iterations are gender essentialist and ascribe this attitude to women#wow look at me accidentally girl-coding jay#but also on the topic of post-res jay.#it's typically assumed that ethics of care take a family model and extend it into morality as a whole#'the ethics of care considers the family as the primary sphere in which to understand ethical behavior'#so#an over-simplification: you are allowed to care for your family over everything else#re: jay's lack of understanding of bruce's conflict in duty as batman vs father#for jay there's no dilemma. how you conduct yourself in the familial context determines who you are as a person#also if you are interested in eoc feel free to ask because googling will only confuse you...#as a term it's used in many weird ways. but i'm thinking about a general line of thought that evolves into slote's philosophy#look at me giving in and bringing philosophy into comics. sorry. i tried to simplify it as much as possible#i didn't even say anything on criminology and the label and the strain theories.#i'm so brave for not info-dumping#i said even though i just info-dumped#jay.zip#jay.txt#dc#fatal flaw#core texts#robin days

Hi Foap
#Ash this is specifically for you because i never actually drawn Mr Vibe and you made me realize that#so this is what a ca. 20 minute sketch looks like now#which isn't entirely bad#mind you it is a disproportionate and he lacks actual facial features so that makes it easier to be fast#funny how i never drawn him despite the fact that there is hardly a day this man isn't in my mind#but still a few months back this would have taken like half an afternoon#so this is what i'm talking about when i say i see my progression#i can do a quick fairly decent thing so much faster than before and if i'd give this an other half an hour it could be actually good#which is kinda insane for me actually#today is a good day and i'm so stupidly proud of my self so please let me have this moment#i'll be back to my regularly scheduled self hate in a minute but i am taking this win because it is a win#simon ghost riley#ghost#cod#levynn tries to draw
