I'm bad at math, but is Bruce theoretically 38 years old when he goes into the time stream?
Hear me out (and canon likes to fluncate their ages, so this is my best guess without trying to account for birthdays):
Bruce becomes the legal guardian of 9 year old Dick when he's 23. That's a 14 year difference.
Jason becomes Robin when Dick leaves at 18. Jason is 13. That's a five year difference.
Jason dies at 15, and Tim becomes Robin at 13. That's a two year difference.
The age difference between Tim and Bruce would thus be 21 years.
Tim becomes Red Robin to find Bruce at 17.
That means that Bruce had to be 38, right? Why was I imagining him closer to 50?
Adopting so many kids must have aged him
#tim was 2-3 when he watched the graysons fall#jason would have been 17 when he attacked to at titan tower#this would make dick 24 when his dad dies and he has to take up the batman mantle he never wanted#UtRH is more tragic if you think about how jason wasnt even an adult#i do love the parallels of 23 year old bruce being a father to 9 year old dick and 24 year old dick being a father to 10 year old damian#also it's definitely the continued exposure to crime and violence that gave bruce his stress lines and grey hair (or jason dying)#this is all theoretical anyways because DC writes its own rules for how to math ages#dc universe#dc comics#bruce wayne#tim drake#jason todd#dick grayson#the consequences of dc being vague on their ages is that means the characters speedrun all their trauma and can't breath through it#they are all so young

It's ironic how Batman is painted as irresponsible for having children fighting as his side (ignoring how said children would still fight without him), but never other heroes, HOWEVER the moment the Teen Titans/Young Justice wants to do something dangerous or comes back from doing something dangerous, he is literally the only responsible adult out of the Justice League. Like, the others are simply like "I'm so proud of you!" but Batman is lecturing his kids about how dangerous it was, how they didn't even told him where they were going, how they didn't contact him about their well-being enough, about how difficult it would have been for him to come help if they needed it... He's straight-up acting like a parent that found out his kid sneaked out, but they didn't came back until later the next day, and never called to tell them they were alive.
Bruce is portrayed as the "unfunny" one when one of his teenage kids is like "the team and I wants to do this dangerous thing unsupervised", because every other adult is fine with their own doing it, but like, he is being the responsible one. Yeah, a responsible parent would not be like "sure sweetie, go fight this dangerous thing with your teenage friends", they would be like "No, you could get hurt. Yes, I trust you, but this is not safe".
Sometimes, he isn't overprotective, he is normal-level-protective for when your kid is a "vigilante that fights people who will kill them without regret" as a hobby, and the others are being careless (no hate to them tho)
#bruce wayne#batman#justice league#teen titans#young justice#dc comics#my ramblings#It's not okay to put a tracker on your kid even if they are in a gang#but when your kid is in a gang of vigilante fighting crime hours away or worst galaxy away it's the minimum#if y'all have ever heard about how the “funny dad/serious mom” is a father not being a parent and the mother parenting on her own#Bruce is a victim of this he is the “serious mom” while the other heroes are the “funny dad”#people dislikes him because he is not fun he isn't letting the kids do whatever they want#but the reality is that he is simply parenting his kids surrounded by adults who aren’t#again not hating on any heroes I think it's more about the writers in general#but like do you want an essay about gender roles and their impacts on comics a world dominated by man???#probably not

Fellas, is it gay to keep your homoerotic reading material right next to the things that remind you of another man?
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#‘Wow what a call back’ there are many more coming B*)#If LWJ had more close friendships as a teen and young adult he would know the protocol#if you aren't showing each other the wildest kink content you stumbled upon in a group chat…are you really friends?#Lwj absolutely knows wwx went snooping and found the liquor. He set a little trap to seeing wwx would put two and two together#wwx just wants to respect lwj’s boundaries! He’d probably be *so* flustered to talk about that kind of stuff so lets not say anything#they both really suck at communication. Sending your crush the most unreadable signals should be a crime.

NGL though the major reason I liked Generator Rex as a young adult was probably the delightful intro-level body horror and vaguely dubious ethical quandaries, the characters were great but a setting where EVERYONE, everyone and everything, was infected with nanites that could, at any point, just turn you into a horrible monster without warning and the sociological implications of that... as well as the Ethical Dilemma Child Soldier vibes Rex would occasionally give off when he was the ward of Providence, which is pretty explicitly a secret para-military organization doing a worldwide sus. Hello we are here to save you from the monsters! Ignore that we're mostly doing this for PR and our upper management is constantly fighting with itself because no one can agree on how to ethically deal with someone who's now a massive horrible monster shshsshshhh.
They toy a little with the ethical issues of this sooo well that for every silly joke with the talking monkey (that I sigh at because while I do have that taste sometimes I am NOT a 15 year old boy) there was enough nuggets of unethical science drama with the military force to keep me going Oh? Oh? What kind of nonsense are we up to today lads?
also the love interest had a weird worm mouth
#even as a young adult the fictional war crimes called to me#generator rex#and that's NOT even talking about Breach#how interesting and tragic#MY GOD BREACH#like x-men but with this certain level of unpolish to it that makes it SOOO compelling#the dragoon diaries#cartoon

The parallels that hurt so much
They both jinxed the most important event in their lives trying to help...
They both lost their closest friends to this....
And both were abandoned and hurt in the worst way possible by the sibling they've looked up to....
They had good intentions, they were so young......
And they're the monsters others have created.
#arcane#arcane spoilers#arcane s2 spoilers#arcane s2#arcane meta#arcane analysis#as abba sang: the history book on the shelf. it's always repeating itself#these scenes made me think so much about silco and vander. and the parallels between them and jinx and vi#young silco looked so sweet and healthy. he looked so innocent... where did the years go#him and jinx are just people stuck in a cycle of poorly made decisions. internalizing the trauma. doing the worst crimes imaginable.& repea#and I'm not trying to absolve them of guilt. they're pretty terrible people and are responsible for their own actions.. but I can't stop-#-feeling bad for them#also. just how old were they when revolution started? silco said to dekart that he learned a lesson about power when he was his age-#-and tapped his bad eye while talking. how old was dekart? was silco a teenager/barely an adult (18-21 or 21-25) when his life fell apart?#it's sad as hell... arcane stop breaking my heart....#silco#arcane silco#jinx#arcane jinx#jinx arcane#silco arcane#young silco#arcane vander#arcane vi#<- no negativity to these two btw

Cause I'm thinking about Echo for the 50th time this week
#and like...therapy#but one step at a time#my take is as crunchy as the image quality jfc#but just saying if SOME adult was there to stop SOMEONE from comitting a crime at a young age#things might have turned out only SLIGHTLY awful#while functional adults are few and far between in ye olde land of arizona#SOMETHING could have possibly been averted#echo vn#echo vn spoilers

Chase's 'it's Tuesday I still like you' bit was fucking unhinged can we talk about this?
#hate crimes md#house md#robert chase#like??? what's the goal here wear her down?#that's the basis for a solid relationship#I mean obviously there's the consent issue but even leaving that aside#Chase is a handsome young doctor he could get a girlfriend if he really wanted#perhaps even one that he doesn't work with and who doesn't have a weird crush on their boss#and there's no way that strategy should've worked like if he wanted to leave the door open the flowers he left her were cute#and he could've said hey I'm just saying i still like you and if you and I think we'd be a good match#let me know if you change your mind#like a normal adult but of course no one who works for house is capable of something like that

i think alot of the drarry fics i encounter would not feel so frustrating if they just dont forgive draco and move forward from that
#instead of like. the passive aggressiveness everyone but maybe harry displays everytime#u dont have to forgive him! but i think holding things against him and mention it everytime draco makes a mistake is unfair#i wont be so bothered if it was just a flaw caused by being a young adult character#but its almost always painted like theyre justified for that and draco just has to stay silent abt it#bc if he retaliates hell be quote on quote bad again#if u accept draco onto ur life bc hes in a rel w harry or u make a rapport w him just dont forgive him!! and make new interactions on top#of that!!#i keep encountering fics where the misunderstanding is draco looks like hes the culprit#and either harry or his friends would be like i knew it u death eater scum!!#like theyre always just WAITING for it to drop#like holy hell dont let this guy into ur life if ure harboring bad feelings to him that u repress until u think hes done smth wrong#like idm if ppl want draco and harry to be balanced#but every single time this happens i get so annoyed at fanons harry and co#theres also the fact that alot of these conflates dracos crime way too much#that i cant help but feel projection#but thats another topic for me#i just want a grovelling fic man...#rambles

israeli forces have arrested ahed tamimi in the occupied west bank based on false accusations
the first time she got arrested, she was a teenager and it was because she punched a soldier after he shot her cousin. she was convicted and jailed like most palestinian children tried in israeli military courts. now she's been arrested again on the basis of false allegations.
in the beginning of the russia/ukraine war, her pictures and story were circulated, and people applauded her when they thought she was a ukrainian teen who had fought back against a russian soldier - when palestinians clarified the truth, most of the aforementioned people retracted their support. such double standards. israelis posted the bottom right picture as a 'victory' - clearly, israel's idea of victory is terrorizing civilians in their homes, from the occupied west bank to gaza.
#the alleged post they arrested her for isnt her account and also is google translate version of arabic so obv someone faked it#i read the eng translation and it ac was giving google translate tbh#shoutout to ahed tamimi for being the baddest bitch on the planet#and a big fuck you to young adult fantasy and dystopia authors who romanticize this kinda resistance in their books but#only when a white girl does it. irl many are not aware/supportive of people liek ahed#free palestine#palestine#gaza#long live palestine#glory to the martyrs#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#long live the resistance#death to israel#israeli war crimes#ya fantasy#ya fiction#young adult#the hunger games esp like i doubt sm people would like it v much if katniss was a black girl#young adult books#young adult fiction#young adult fantasy#tropes#dystopia#ya dystopia

what a great day to remember everyone that if millionaires kids are old enough to enjoy spending their inherited blood money and reap their benefits then they're also old enough to understand and bear the social condemnation that comes with it <3
#yes theyre also guilty of their parents crimes if they continue to partake in it#im talking about teens and young adults btw not 4 yo kids necessary disclaimer bc tumblr users have the reading comprehension of a rock
