Do you think the bats send Tim random photos of kids they see with bad bowlcuts? Just like some kid at the park and under the photo they just type “this you?”

Tbh if Cass was a guy she would be the most popular character in the fandom. She's insane. She's hilarious. She constantly teases her siblings. She's extremely overconfident and she has every right to be; she is, without a doubt, the best at what she does. She's horrifically traumatized. She was made to feel like she's an object. She hates authority figures. She has mommy issues. She refuses to kill anyone ever, not because she thinks every single person has the capacity for change, but because killing people hurts her so bad that she refuses to do that to herself. Did I mention she's hilarious. She's literally the character of all time
Some warm up art! I love them so much cry
i don’t think people who don’t read comics/mostly read wfa understand how much of a dweeb tim drake actually is because he was supposed to be a Good Role Model For Tween Boys in the 90s. one time he found out his roommate at boarding school was an alcoholic so he poured all his alcohol down the drain instead of just ignoring it like a normal person. his girlfriend wanted to have sex with him and instead of just saying “i’m not ready” he launched into a monologue about how “making love is like opening a door” and he “isn’t ready to open that door yet” because they “might have adult feelings for each other, but [they’re] still just kids.” 90s tim was the type of kid to remind the teacher to assign homework. he somehow got mad bitches even though everyone highkey thought he was weird. in one panel of one issue he randomly said he had to be “vewwy quiet” and never spoke like that again. he canonically plays dungeons and dragons (or the fictional dc equivalent). the money his dad left him after he died wasn’t even a lot because his dad went bankrupt shortly before his death. like it was a substantial amount but not enough to make him rich. i cannot stress enough that tim was SUCH a Regular Guy TM and constantly worried about not standing out. he purposefully did bad at sports and pretended to be winded in gym class so people wouldn’t suspect anything. like he wouldn’t even try and be average, he would purposefully almost fail. he is not a cool rich skater kid guys he’s such a dork
here’s the closeted furries “hey man… can u bum me a cig” and “the one uncle nobody invites to the family reunion but SOMEONE keeps telling him where it is anyways”

ft John:
Do you think Jason Todd would cry to Goddess by Laufey when he heard it? Thinking about Bruce and his Robin days in that specific shit tinted lenses way he does? Does he finally break down at the bridge as he drowns in his unshakable belief that Bruce never really wanted him, just Robin?
Comparing Haymitch and Katniss' narrative styles is so funny to me because he's a yapper and she's a gatekeeper. He drops more lore on D12 in the first two chapters of SOTR than she does in the entire trilogy.
Haymitch is like "Yeah, so this person is related to this person who's related to this person and things are this way because of this and this thing actually came from here and this person is actually my best friend and also here's this extra tidbit of random info cause all my lore dropping comes with it's own additional bonus content and all my unnecessary commentary."
And Katniss is over here like "Tf do I care for if y'all know all the lore of District 12? I'm talking about my beautiful husband's beautiful eyelashes."

here’s a little meme I made
[1/3]
canon sirius this canon sirius that canon sirius knew a man who canonically cross-dressed (even if for convenience) & did not bully him, did not mistreat him, did not approach the subject with malice or negativity. canon sirius said, verbatim, "if you want to know what a man's like, take a look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." canon sirius asked remus for forgiveness for not believing in the best of him. canon sirius instantly, without hesitation, forgave remus for believing in the worst of him. canon sirius expressed sympathy for barty crouch jr in regards to his father's neglect and entertained the possibility that barty may have been "in the wrong place at the wrong time" when discussing his crime. canon sirius, when he thought he would be a free man, immediately offered his godson a home and a place with him, even without being aware of the neglect his godson faced, even before he had a home to offer, and he did so by prefacing that he would understand if his godson didn't want to, making it clear he would not try to force him. canon sirius could be cruel, and insensitive, and vengeful, and obstinate—but that's not all he was. canon sirius could also be compassionate and sympathetic and forgiving and accepting. canon sirius was complex, and it goes both ways, in the direction of his faults as well as his virtues. btw.
To be aware you might be trans but unwilling to do anything about it is to create endlessly bigger boxes within which to contain yourself. When you are a child, that box might encompass only yourself and your parents. By the time you are a gainfully employed adult, that box will contain multitudes, and the thought of disrupting it will grow ever more unthinkable. So you cease to think of yourself as a person on some level; you think not of what you want but what everybody expects from you. You do your best not to make waves, and you apologize, if only implicitly, for existing. You stop being real and start being a construct, and eventually, you decide the construct is just who you are, and you swaddle yourself up in it, and maybe you die there. There is still time until there isn’t.
This reading of TV Glow’s deliberately anticlimactic, noncathartic ending cuts against the transition narrative you typically see in movies and TV, in which a trans person self-accepts, transitions, and lives a happier life. Owen gets trapped in a space where he knows what he must do to live an authentic life but simply refuses to take those steps because, well, burying yourself alive is a terrifying thing to do. The transition narrative posits a trans existence as, effectively, a binary switch between “man” and “woman” that gets flipped one way or another, but to make our lives so binary is to miss how trans existences possess an inherent liminality.
Humans’ lives unfold in a constant state of becoming until death, but trans people are uniquely keyed in to what this means thanks to the simple fact of our identities. You can get lost in that liminality, too, forever trapped in a midnight realm of your own making, stuck between what you believe is true (I am a nice man with a good family and a good job, and I love my life) and what you know, deep in your most terrified heart of hearts, is real (I am a girl suffocating in a box).
And yet if you want to read the film as being about the dangerous allure of nostalgia, you’re not wrong. I Saw the TV Glow totally supports that interpretation, too! But in tempting you with that reading, the film creates a trap for cis viewers that will be all too familiar to trans viewers. Somewhere in the middle of Maddy’s story about The Pink Opaque being real, you will make a choice between “This kid has lost it!” and “No. Go with her, Owen,” and in asking you to make that choice, TV Glow is simulating the act of self-accepting a trans identity.
See, the grimmer read of the film’s ending truly is a nihilistic one. It leaves no hope, no potential for growth, no exit. Yet you must actively choose to read that ending as nihilistic. If you are cis and the end of I Saw the TV Glow left you with a gnawing sense of dissatisfaction, a weird but hard-to-pin-down feeling that something had broken, and a melancholy bordering on horror — congratulations, this movie gave you contact-high gender dysphoria.
In an infinite number of possible universes, there is at least one where I am still living “as a man,” embracing my fictionality, avoiding looking at how much more raw and real I feel when I “pretend” to be a woman. I think about that guy sometimes. I hope he’s okay.
Consider, then, my cis reader, that TV Glow is for both you and me, but it is maybe most of all for him. I hope he sees it. I hope he breaks down crying in the bathroom afterward. I hope he, after so many years locked inside himself, hears the promise of more life through the hiss of TV static.

behind every hot girl there is unhealthy, slightly concerning, spiritual connection to harry potter’s dead parents dead friend group
Kyoya was always in love with Tamaki no matter Tamaki’s feelings and it shows in every action every movement and in every glance
like can we please talk about the fact that honey and mori literally have to hold kyoya back while he is shouting at tamaki’s dad because kyoya is so fired up while detailing all the ways yuzuru has hurt tamaki that he might actually attack him??
you are the third son of one of the most powerful families in japan. your whole life is an exercise in restraint. but you just found out that all the pain your best friend- the one person in the world who matches your passion and understands you completely- all his pain was deemed acceptable collateral by his own father. all your restraint is gone.
Detective comics comics, Please let Tim Drake be insane again. The people want to witness his unhinged behaviour. I need to see Batman develop an ulcer in real time.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Honestly, this one (1) lyric makes me think of them so badly. I promise I love them
Textless under cut:
Tony stark. Like yes he is and was awful but that’s the point and just because he’s a beyond fuck up doesn’t mean he didn’t help people. He genuinely wanted to help people: that holds true no matter what he’s done. Moreover it also holds true that at times these attempts to help people were in fact doing more harm than good (think Stark Industries weapon’s business). What makes him interesting is this exact conflict. How does an unbelievably rich, narsosistic man redeem himself and live with his sins? He doesn’t. He fucks up. However, the attempt still matters and the consequences of it matter too.
Fundamentally he’s a symbol of wealth and power which is why it is so difficult to see the man underneath, and without seeing this man it is even more difficult for the audience to root for him. When we don’t root for him it’s easy to see strictly his flaws; Everything we are meant to see on a surface level. However, as an individual we find that he is unhappy with himself and with his life, each act of heroism is an act of suicide. He’ll never be a truly good man, he never can be. The point was never the success but the attempt.
characters have to be a little bit awful in ways that you cant defend. its good for the ecosystem. your honor he did do that. He did in fact do that
Have I just been stabbed 😀 anyhow beautiful. Wonderful. I’ll think of this instead of my family when I die.
Tim: Batman needs a Robin!
Dick: okay, then be Robin.
Tim: I-you can’t-
Tim, a scrawny 13 year old rich kid who looks two years younger than he is: be so fucking for real.
