being so fr with you all we need to drastically accelerate anti-car propaganda.
we need to make it so clear to future generations that we no longer tolerate a world where you cannot conveniently go for a walk or get a coffee or get groceries without a car
Tim, after having a mental breakdown literally 10 seconds ago: ....wanna hear facts about whales?
Bruce: I don't have a parenting book for this-
Are teens really anti-social and non-conversational and stuck on their phones or are you just trying to form a conversation while asking them about stuff like their school curriculum (a tedious repetitive thing they at best suffer and at worst suffer from) while dissmissing them whenever they attempt to talk about their interests?
I just had to explain to my dad and his partner (an author) that I had just started to write for the first time in a /very long time/ because my inspiration finally hit me: bible fan fiction (good omens)
So now, because I'm only in the mood to write when I'm not in the mood to build characters, I am writing bible fan fiction fan fiction, and absolutely losing my mind.
(Thank you @neil-gaiman for the inspiration to write)
My ideal Tim and Jason dynamic is basically:
Tim: Kill yourself
Jason: Kill me yourself, bootlicker
one thing I do not see used enough is that
not just in the fact that he wants to be his own man. in the fact that he is actively afraid of becoming like him.
canonically one of his biggest fears is becoming Bruce.
this is such a ripe thing for angst, are you kidding me? I cannot believe people don’t use it more.
especially during his Batman era. he didn’t want the cowl, he actively said no to taking up the mantle at first, but then he felt like he had to.
and then to be good at it? to be good at being Batman? honestly that must’ve made him feel sick.
I need to see Dick be actively hostile about it too. if Jason, for example, in your fic is comparing Dick to Bruce I need to see Dick lash out about it.
because that's what he does when people compare the two! when Dick and Roy were purposely trying to piss the other off, Roy compared Dick to Bruce and Dick lost it.
Sorry this is actually one of the most important Tim Drake moments to me!!! All he wants is to make Bruce proud!! He’s 17 and he just wants his dads approval at the end of the day!! He did his best and he deserves parental affection!!!
“we need more ‘weird’ queers!”
you can’t even handle aroallos
I know i’m functionally a gay DARE officer at this point but I do in fact feel some sort of way about Cocaine being back in vogue. Surely I sound like a square + narc and I’ll concede ok do whatever you want, nobody can materially stop another person from using drugs if they really want to 🤷🏻 I don’t really care that it’s hip to do party drugs, moreso I want to articulate a general level of caution and concern that I never see a sidecar of harm reduction and safe using practices along with the commonplace clips of people straight up snorting coke I’ve seen for “brat summer!!!1!!”
You 🫵 are not immune to ingesting fentanyl or any number of other additives. Do you think drugs at the gay club are different than the drugs people are taking under bridges and in gutters? I promise they’re not! So if you want to use drugs and continue being alive, do your part to be safe. Protecting yourself protects others and your community.
Do not accept drugs from strangers. Test your drugs with fentanyl test strips. Carry narcan and know how to administer it. Never use alone. Have an exit strategy if you’re using drugs in a public space. Know the contact information for your local harm reduction groups, overdose emergency hotline, and if you need/want it, addiction treatment orgs. This is all the bare minimum for community care if you intend to be out in the world using drugs. Mainly I encourage you all to be buzzkills if it means you don’t have to die of an accidental overdose. Overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under 40. I have a whole lot of social workers in my network and however bad you think the synthetic opioid crisis is, it’s worse. The war stories I’ve heard from my people on the ground are… The shit of nightmares. Don’t let it be you or anybody you love.
If you live in the state of Georgia, DM me for a longer list of resources.
