I know I shouldn't, and I know what happened on the Titans tower was traumatizing for Tim, I know it was a fucked up Jason moment™
But I just can't take it seriously while that grown ass man is wearing tight Robin shorts
I was reading like
"Yes that's horrible I can see how much it is traumatizing for both of them, for Tim who somehow admired the idea of Jason as Robin and now having to confront the fact that he's back and hates him, and how heart broken is to Jason–"
Do you ever think about how caleb growing mistrustful of essek very suddenly,
Likely was an acting choice brought about by caleb meeting trent again
Because... man it makes so much sense
Like the mistrust was always there, but before trent it mostly showed itself as a healthy distance. He wasn't actively malicious or untrusting of essek's words. In fact he was angry on his behalf when the others implied they'd have to punish him.
It also makes so much sense that he'd turn on a dime as essek apologized. Because tbh, that more than anything doesn't fall into the framework of manipulation that he recognizes.
Caleb is so rational, he probably realized that he'd been projecting and took a few cautious steps back to offer some genuine kindness that wasn't rooted in trying to do damage controll on a potentially dangerous person.
I do have to laugh at the need to off trent then and there though bc oh my god, you do not have time caleb. Too many things are happening at once. Never been more thankful for that dunamancy die betrayal (poetic cinema).
[He] was at a loss to understand [her] sudden volubility... What then was the true essence of this creature? Had she perception and consciousness of her manifold changes, or was she impenetrable to herself and shut from her own mystery? In her expression, her manifestation of herself, how much was artificial and how much spontaneous? The desire to fathom this secret pierced him even through the delight experienced by the proximity of the woman whom he was beginning to love. But his wretched habit of analysis for ever prevented him losing sight of himself, though every time he yielded to its temptation he was punished, like Psyche for her curiosity, by the swift withdrawal of love, the frowns of the beloved object and the cessation of all delights. Would it not be better to abandon oneself frankly to the first ineffable sweetness of new-born love?
