Dick Was 100% The Worst Kid Bruce Had To Deal With, But He Turned Out Such A Well Adjusted Adult (relatively)

Im so normal about them

Rewatching Lost and I’m on s2 and I forgot how ominous the others seemed before their ‘official’ introduction?

Like it’s so laughably funny in retrospect that they were painted as these inhuman, incomprehensible collective entity. The tail-end survivors are under the impression they’re some kind of supernatural force, capable of moving through the jungle without leaving trace, and possessing a knowledge of the island’s layout that they can’t even dream of replicating.

I see a lot of complaints online that the show was better before the Others were revealed but honestly I love that, in a show full of bored gods and ancient temples, the Others were just people. People who’d grown with the jungle, adapted to tread lightly and move fast. People who spent their time bickering over book clubs and watching TV. I loved the later addition that the crash shook up their way of life almost as much as those on the plane; suddenly faced with a new group of people, unaware what that will entail for them.

In conclusion I really enjoyed the gradual portrayal of the Others within the show; their slow transition from omnipresent malevolent force, to a group of people thrust into a unique situation.

(I still firmly hold the belief that everyone was collectively winging it for a solid 90% of the first two season. I mean, there’s no indication that plane’s regularly crash; I can only assume that the last ‘surviving’ addition to the island was Rousseau. None of those mfs were at all prepared for 60+ people to suddenly appear. Props to Ben for coming up w a plan in the .5 seconds he had to register a PLANE CRASHING bcs that could not be me)

No because I feel like it’s not discussed enough how young Dick is (bcs of all of the younger Batfam members) but that mf is in his 20s AND STARTED BEFORE THE AGE OF 10??

I counter your “Dick is old” statement with the batbrothers constantly being reminded of how young he actually is.

“Ask Dick, he’s ancient.” Jason says. A week later Jason saves a terrified grad student from a kidnapping and the guy tells Jason he’s 25. And Jason’s like what. But you’re a kid?!

“I was 25 when I adopted Dick.”

“What?!” Everyone says! “That’s so young, you can’t be a dad at that age that’s insane!”

“Dick is 25.” Bruce responds and they’re all horrified.

*Dick is in the hospital and Jason and Tim are trying to figure out his insurance situation when Bruce walks in and tells them them that Dick is still on his plan since he’s not 26 yet.*

I just feel like they don’t understand how young Dick actually is and they tease him so much that sometimes they don’t even realize that he’s really still so young. (I obviously don’t know the accurate ages of everything, but just saying).

Finally finished Lost and I’m convinced that no one gets Ben Linus the way I do‼️ Your honour he’s just a girl🗣️🗣️

whenever charlie has his hood up he looks like evil kermit

And if I said that he surrounds himself w mirrors bcs he wants to be certain no one can be hidden in his room? then what?

I’m genuinely too sick to draw or write or do anything actually productive so enjoy these shit ‘lost as textposts’‼️

I want the Ambassadors exploring new places and wondrous things in distant countries; underwater caves, bioluminescent beaches, the world's tallest waterfall, stargazing campfires, escaping assassination attempts, lush deep jungles...

I just want them to be having fun experiencing things T/////T
