being an alfred pennyworth fan is so strange because so many of you are wrong. what do you mean he's a saintly father figure there to quip at everyone and be the voice of reason???? you don't even KNOW him.
alfred 'abandoned his daughter to run off to gotham only to not raise bruce as well, who promoted all of bruce's worst habits like the #boymom he is, who chose bruce over the children but still didn't let him forget that he was not his father, who lied to the family about julia's existence and blamed her for their bad relationship' pennyworth?
I love him because he ruins everything he touches and is the world's worst father. you like him because you have fundamentally misunderstood him as a person.
you're saying THEE #1 dc toxic boy mom is a saint? what the fuck are you guys ON about?
I was rereading A Lonely Place of Dying for Reasons and I just want to point out how in the infamous Photo itty bitty Timmy is just grinning hugely at Dick while everyone else looks at the camera.
People will have Dick acting too nice to his siblings sometimes. Never forget that Tim thought Dick was buried under a bunch of rubble, and Dick took a hot minute to observe Tim from his spot up in the rafters before letting Tim know he was alive and well. Cheeky shit even had the gall to tell Tim, "You should see your face. You really looked worried."

the first rule of having dick as an older brother: never let him touch your hair
not to be a killjoy but it's still crazy to me that it's considered mean to be like "maybe you should read / play / watch the source material before creating fanworks and diving into the fandom" bc every time i see somebody going "i havent played disco elysium or know anything about it tbh but uwu here's harry and kim kissing" idk maybe you should engage with it. maybe you should play the anti-capitalist surrealist game where you investigate the murder of a mercenary who led the gang rape of a foreign girl and process that for a bit? and then you can do cutesy mlm or whatever idc. but like at the absolute bare minimum you should understand what the source material involves otherwise we get the phenomenon of people joining a dragon age server and wanting content warnings for like, mage racism. like it's fine to ship and transform the genre into whatever but if you arent comfortable with discussions of the actual source content itself then maybe the fandom isnt for you and a different one is. peace and love.

basically i did some math on all the crops you can buy from the general store and if you want to maximize profit you should plant peas, tea, onions, and snow peas, the margin isn't even close
i think writing about tim drake’s inherent, unbreakable awe of dick grayson and robin as a mantle and his views of heroism and selflessness that, even a decade on, are still so fundamentally shaped by what dick achieved despite his grief is making me mentally ill, actually
I think accepting Bruce is raising an army of child soldiers is a necessary aspect of the suspension of disbelief needed to enjoy the series where a grown man dresses as a bat and fights clowns
i hope tim drake gets disowned and falls down the stairs in front of photographers and his boyfriend leaves him and all his friends stop texting him back and the spirits of his dead parents come back and call him a slur and he gets tetanus from a rusty nail on his ugly houseboat and the houseboat sinks and dick calls him inept and he develops a shellfish allergy for real and eats a shrimp and keels over dead
