ONE PIECE SPOILERS EP 1085

THIS!! This theme persists throughout Tim's story. Where Bruce is unable to step away because of his trauma, guilt and lack of life outside Batman, Tim is unable to leave due to a sense of selflessness. In almost every step of the way he has a truly full civilian life waiting for him but he cannot leave Bruce and his family to drown in their grief alone. Because of what that means for them but also what it means for the city. He knows his role and has resigned to the fact that it is necessary regardless of his own needs and wants.

This is also what irks me about the "Rim is destined/likely to be a killer" characterization. While it is a really interesting concept, ignoring this incredibly selfless aspect of his motivation and replacing it with Batman's motivation is frankly wasted potential

the misinterpretation of a lonely place of dying by later retellings drives me nuts because ‘tim finds out who batman is’ is nearly not as much of a big deal as ‘tim doesnt want to be robin’ in the actual origin and it pretty much sums up whats wrong with modern tim drake. ALPOD is a tragic story of a twelve year old boy who had everything and willingly gave it up for a greater good. he is not like dick and jason who became robin to escape tragedy nor bruce who had everything and then lost it. robin was nothing but a curse he accepted to bear and he did so because of his selflessness. that selflessness is his driving rod, his smarts and physical talent are only the tools he uses to achieve his goals. he is not ‘the smart one’, he is a sacrificial lamb for a cause he became an unwilling spectator of. a twelve year old boy thought ‘people need saving, its that simple’ and put on the clothes a dying kid not much older than him wore because of nothing more than his selflessness and everyone he loved paid the price for it. he paid an even greater price for it.

they should do an inter batfamily conflict where cass catches damian making luigi mangione fancams and voices her opposition to him supporting a murderer and damian accuses her of being an insurance industry bootlicker and cass is like. what’s insurance. and the fallout results in a new reboot

Can we talk about the implications here? The fact that Dick probably taught Bruce the specific kind of acrobatics necessary to do this kind of performance because that isn’t just coming from material arts training. The fact that Bruce just knows the trapeze routine Dick was doing already. The implication that they probably practice together often as a form of father son bonding just as Dick used to turn his birth parents.

Superman/Batman: World’s Finest (2022) Issue #6

Where can I get a full recap of the Shining Nikki plot? It’s so intriguing and I want to understand the Nikkiverse before I get super into infinity Nikki. The game’s style really isn’t for me though so it’s really hard to get through it. I can’t even find a voiced play through of it all :/

Skin Care

Now the winner gets his prize! Come get your momma!

Roy: Jason and I have decided that god forbid should anything horrible happen to us, we would like Dick to be Lian's legal guardian.

Jason: Roy!

Roy: It's the right decision Jaybird.

Dick: That is great news! Lian! When something horrible happens you're gonna be all mine!

Jason: It really is an if situation...

Dick: *Already picking up Lian* All mine!

Bruce: I don't mean to ruin this really beautiful moment but, was I even considered for this?

Barbara (over comms): B?

Bruce: I mean I am the parent of 6 healthy well-adjusted children who-

Barbara: Bruce you gotta go down to the police station. Damian just vandalized the school.

Bruce: ...

Bruce: This is not over

Dick: *Has been spinning around the house with Lian in his arms this whole time* Let's go see your new room Babywing!

Jason: Not her name...

Batman loves kids and is great with them

Dick, on the phone with Roy: I just think that Bruce actually hates me and doesn’t stand to be around me ever

One Piece Spoilers Ep 1092

The reveal that Bonney is Kuma’s daughter really re-contextualizes his first appearance in Thriller Bark for me.

A girl that looks just about his daughter’s age with the same pink hair and general attitude looks at him with unfiltered fear in her eyes. Did he see his daughter in her? Did he fear the monster he might soon become that would not hesitate to kill her? Did he wonder if his daughter would soon look at him that way too?

“If you were to go on a vacation where would you go?” He asks her as she squares up to fight him. And he sends her to what I’m sure he knows is Mihawk’s island with some trust that he is a decent man.

Just another small drop of angst in Bartholomew Kuma’s story :(
