"300 tracks"

you know those hand signals tyler does during the line "300 tracks in my Adidas track jacket"?

i, like probably everyone else, assumed that was him signing 3-0-0 with his hands.

but no. he's signing F-0-0.

consider the ASL signs for F vs 3:

yeah, he's definitely signing F there

so what does F-0-0 mean? well, funny thing about that--you know hexcodes? those 6 digit codes that indicate a specific colour? well, there are also three digit codes as well, where you basically double each number to get the full 6 digit code. wanna guess what #F00 is?

yup, that's pure red babey!!

and, better yet, wanna know what its complementary colour is?

why it's pure cyan of course!!! y'know, like the whole __cla_im00FFFF.jpg = CLAIM CYAN = I AM CLANCY thing.

tyler, you sneaky sneaky bastard.

#twenty one pilots #overcompensate #clancy #i am clancy #claim cyan #fucking. colours man.#its all about the colours #specifically red and cyan #i am SO excited that they're actually. blatantly referencing the dichotomy in this era #colour theory my beloved #tumblr clique #cliqueblr #the clique #clique theories #theories #man idk how to tag this

Some people in this fandom:

"I love canon Remus, he is such a pathetic loser!" (Insert some obligatory reference to damp socks or wet noodles or crumpled paper towel)

Those very same people:

*exclusively posts/writes/interacts with Fanon Remus who is tall and broad and muscly and cool, often right alongside funsized dainty white twink Sirius who is at least a full foot shorter*

Me:

🤨🤔

....are you sure

#I feel gaslit #that's still NOT Remus #you literally changed nothing about Fanon Remus but you're claiming he's Canon Remus #remus lupin #wolfstar #canon remus defender #marauders era #marauders

....Doctor Who is literally the most anti-AI show out there, what the actual fuck is David Housden talking about??? Wild Blue Yonder was literally just a mockery of AI with the not-things, let alone this interaction between fourth and Ramona in classic who, aka the most anti-AI era of Doctor Who really:

#doctor who #anti ai art #anti ai #i say the most anti-ai era cause while scrolling the replies and shit i not only saw that fourth doctor and ramona thing #but i also saw other examples from classic who and its just #how you gonna claim DW lends itself to ai like that #the doctor themselves clearly hates it

Something I wonder all the time that is like not related to any blorbos but is still very fun for me to think about is if Central 46 has the equivalent of sending off the latest beloathed politician to be Provisional Governer-General of the worst post in Seireitei.

Like, one guy gets a lot of supporters behind him that the last directive from the Reio was actually a fake designed to supplant he and his allies, all devised by his rival (and like the directive doesn’t matter. It could be completely sound. This is all about the Spin) And that rival gets sent to bumfuck nowhere to hate his life for 50 years before they let him back in the Seireitei.

And you can simply imagine how fucking fun this made it for Aizen to commandeer the Central 46, let alone how easy it already was considering the multi-layers of shrouds hanging over every aspect of this governing body.

Also, imagine this dude who was sent to bumfuck nowhere is called back because Central 46 was slaughtered and they need a new council STAT. The utter whiplash. The vindication. The growing whistle of alarm sounding through his head as he packs up his life that’s honestly not so bad to go play in the political pit of vipers again. After all the old vipers got smashed by rocks.

He is not a blorbo but I think about him lmao.

#I know Seireitei is very Edo based #but the Central 46 and Noble districts? I just know their politics sway toward the Heian Era #those hoes are battling it out under an eternal emperor of their own design #they don’t even have to replace that bitch every 20 years he’s always there!#and I think Central 46 power hungry nobles could 100% get away with claiming one of their rivals #put a curse on someone like ‘just feel how his reiatsu is tainted by hatred and miasma he tried to kill my wife’#and everyone is like ‘yeah his reiatsu fucking sucks he could’ve done that’#✌️ Off to the boonies with him

So, I was searching for a good face claim for female Severus Snape (Sevrina or Severina, still deciding) and now I'm stuck between two great options and I can't decide:

Amita Suman (known as Inej aka knife wife aka love of my life, from Shadow and Bone)

I can't be the only one, right? Just look.at.her. She's perfect! The profile, the nose, the hair, the expression, the vibes. There are times when I'm picturing my Fem! Snape scenarios that her face just comes up to me, and she fits so well.

It also fits wonderfully in my headcanon that Snape is POC coded.

In here she's a badass. Strong minded and brave, but with a coveted warmness that few see. She doesn't let anyone, specially men, talk her down.

(and the green clothes, for fuck's sake. She's that girl)

Aaand

Mikey Madison (Amber in Scream, also known as Mommy, my queen and beautiful psycho)

I recently saw a tiktok claiming she would have been the perfect fem! Snape, and honestly, now I can't unsee it.

Canonically, Snape had very pale skin, almost sickly, and a big nose, so she's closer to the original source, while Amita is closer to my own headcanons. But c'mon, don't tell me you don't see it either.

She has the dark, creepy vibes, but also hot snarky gothic witch vibes. The photos encapsulate her character perfectly. Look at her pouty lips, her unimpressed stare. She's surrounded by idiots and judging everyone's life choices (spoiler: she's the least indicated person to do that)

Anyway, don't be too confused if I use both of them for my future fem! Snape posts. I can't pick, so I'll take them both.

#funny how both faceclaims happen to be actresses i have a raging crush on #starting to think that maybe is not about female Snape and more about the excuse to just use their gorgeous faces #but well #not me doing this post after claiming freddy carter as Avery's face claim #my six of crows fan side is showing #hp headcanons #pro snape #severus snape headcanons #genderbend harry potter #marauders era #marauders era headcanons #female severus snape #fem severus snape #fem snape #slytherin pride #snape gang #snape's gang #pro severus snape #professor snape

"Anne Stanhope was a devoted and loyal wife and mother. She was also a politician, a committed religious reformer, and a survivor of Tudor intrigue. It was her actions and her connections at court that saved the Seymour family from ruin throughout the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I. Her activities as a patroness of religious literature distinguished her from many of her contemporaries. Anne also worked with both of her husbands – but with Edward Seymour in particular – to form influential political partnerships. Like many of her female contemporaries, she was a major force in politics and religion. The Duke and Duchess of Somerset’s struggle with Thomas Seymour in the late 1540s, however, set the groundwork for Anne’s unfortunate historical image. Almost immediately, writers and historians slandered her reputation. She became a stereotypical “bad wife” – proud, nagging, vengeful. By looking beyond this image, however, scholars may now view Anne Stanhope’s story in a more balanced light."

you know that scene from the simpsons where bart breaks down to miss krabappel cause he failed a test but this time he tried?

for some reason that reminds a lot of what james would be like as student, especially in the middle years of hogwarts.

i imagine james in the earlier years as one of those kids who never paid attention in class properly, always did homework last minute and never revised but always managed to pass. passed every test, handed their homework in somewhat on time. but he never did amazing. in the first three years of hogwarts, he was never near the top of the class. if anything, he was close to the bottom.

all in all, he scrapped by and was fine with it. the grades never bothered him and he never tried to change it.

but then work got harder, and there was more pressure and expectations to do well and all his friends were getting better, getting praise and recognition. they were getting well above passing grades, never failing exams and had something to be proud of... and james was still scrapping by. a mark or two above failing, going as far as to being made to resit exams and essays and projects cause it's fifth year and exams are around the corner and he wasn't getting it.

so he gets put in private study sessions with mcgonagall, or otherwise he'd have to get pulled out of quidditch. that was mcgonagall's compromise. cause she believed him enough to help, something no other teacher did. he was basically failing all classes cause he wasn't trying.

and due to the threat on his place on the team, he actually started trying. he spent all his free time in the library, stopped putting all his focus on pranks, even convinced remus to help him study. he did everything he needed to do for it, spending every waking hour thinking about it. put extra effort into all his other subjects and homework. he participated in class, did the tasks done and went to every study sessions with mcgonagall.

and then when the next exam rolled around in mcginagall's class, he put his all into it. worked from the very first second and to the very last... and failed. full on failed. didn't even get a passing grade.

and i just imagine have this converstion being like...

m: 'i thought things would different this time,'

j: 'same...'

m: 'what went wrong?'

j: 'i don't know, i thought i was doing good'

m: ‘me too, this tell me otherwise’

j: ‘i tried’

m: ‘did you though james, have you been trying without me’

j: *crying* ‘yes! i have, i really tried this time mcgonagall, i really did! i read every book and spent all my time studying and did everything i needed to do! i really tried, you need to believe me, i need you to believe me, you can ask my friends will vouch for me, i did try! i want to do better, i tried so hard this time i swear!’

and this fail was the first fail which hurt because he really did try. this was the fail which got him to try harder in the later years of Hogwarts.

i just think about that scene a lot. cause i feel like James is a very smart person, but just isn’t an academic person. not at the beginning at least…

#i might write a proper one shot over this #people in the fandom like to claim James to be dumb which is not the case #but from one person who struggled deeply with academic smarts eg exams and essays i’m just projecting on James really #but this feel accurate to me #james potter #maurder era #jsp headcannon #regulus black #jegulus #starchaser #sunseeker #james potter headcannon #James Potter character study #sirius black #marauder headcanons #marauder era #jsp- marauder era

Jhonen Vasquez makes a show designed around his own unique artsyle, which was notoriously difficult for animators to learn, and everyone praises it for the effort and creative ambition Jhonen and his team put toward realizing his artistic vision.

A woman makes two shows designed around her own unique artsyle, heavily inspired by Jhonen, and people constantly screech about how horrible she is for “making” people draw her wretched, “animator unfriendly” designs. Or even better, unironically proclaim it “cringe” for her to be clearly influenced by Invader Zim, not because they think Invader Zim itself is bad or cringe, but because liking it apparently is.

#i see this so often #like make it make sense #why would you invoke the name of a good show #to say another show is bad for reminding you of it #i will take a thousand zimitators over another fucking show that looks artistically indistinguishable from family guy #Invader Zim #Hazbin hotel #helluva boss #so much vivzie criticism boils down to #it's bad because it is unapologetically nostalgic for early 2000s era deviantart trends #like #i'm not even a furry #but if she wants to draw sparkledogs or whatever #it's her fucking show #if that doesn't spark as much joy for you #as it does for other people who like that sort of thing #maybe the show just isn't for you #also #claiming the character designs are too detailed and complicated #have you watched any anime ever #have you seen how many lines and how many shadows and highlights they put on just the hair

Has Tim ever put Dick on a pedestal?

100% yes! This is basically Tim's backstory IMO. Prior to meeting Dick in Lonely Place of Dying, Tim's a kid who's got a distant, idealized, made-for-TV vision of Dick and Bruce - mostly Dick - and he sets out on a quest based entirely around that misperception.

Aaaand then he immediately crashes headfirst into reality, because the Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne he remembers from his childhood memories and daydreams are like this:

But it turns out that the actual real-life human people are a bit more, uh, cranky than Tim's glossy vision - things are tense and neither of them are super-happy to meet Tim:

And Tim has to rethink a bunch of his mistaken deductions as it slowly dawns on him that - far from being a plucky team - Dick and Bruce are actually not getting along at all:

And so Tim has to realize his whole plan of "Dick has to be Robin again!!! That will fix everything!!! :)))))" was actually wrong, and based on a misunderstanding of Bruce and Dick's relationship. And having realized he was wrong, he immediately sets about trying to figure out what he’s failed to understand in the most intrusive way possible—by asking lots of nosy questions!

Actually-meeting-Dick is basically the end of Tim’s super-idealized vision of Dick. It's not a vision that can survive contact with an actual human being who's snapping at you. And kid!Tim is (I love him but) extremely pushy and annoying, and Dick's a prickly young adult who is not above getting annoyed, which means Dick snaps at him pretty regularly.

But Tim does continue to admire him.

So for their various interactions after Lonely Place of Dying, IMO "does Tim have Dick on a pedestal" is kind of a judgment call based on your assessment of Dick's relative strengths/virtues. What's unambiguous: Tim has a consistently higher opinion of Dick than Dick does of Dick, and they argue about it a lot.

I had way too many thoughts about this, so below the cut:

Comics where Dick and Tim have conversations along the lines of Dick: "I suck and I'm failing at everything." Tim: "That's not true!! Actually you're great and you're succeeding at the thing you think you're failing at!!"

So who's right - Dick or Tim?

Dick and Tim's high opinions/expectations of each other: the plusses and minuses

Comic examples

Here are a couple different variations on Tim thinking that Dick is great (often when Dick's less sure):

in Showcase, Tim thinks that Dick’s a way better teammate than Azrael, even as Dick’s thinking himself as a failure who let the Titans down;

in Prodigal, Dick tells Tim a story about confronting Two-Face which to Dick symbolizes a moment of great failure and which Tim insists was a no-win situation where Dick did the best he could;

also in Prodigal, Dick’s despairing over how badly he thinks their encounter with Killer Croc went and meanwhile Tim thinks it went fine (after all, Dick listened to him and called an ambulance instead of beating up Croc!), and Tim tells Dick to lighten up and Dick talks about how he’s a failure;

in Nightwing 6, Dick thinks he’s doing badly in Blüdhaven and he’s self-conscious about it and paranoid about what Tim might tell Bruce, and Tim insists that the fact that Dick’s being targeted means he’s succeeding and getting close instead of failing, and Dick retorts that this won’t be comforting if he winds up dead because getting close just isn’t good enough;

also in Nightwing 6, Tim thinks Dick was a better Robin than Tim is, and Dick thinks he wasn’t that great and that Tim’s better;

post-Last Laugh, Tim’s insistent that Dick's being too hard on himself about attacking the Joker whereas Dick's really haunted by the experience and confides that it feels like he's discovered a terrible dark side of himself;

way later in Nightwing 110, Tim’s seeking Dick out and Dick’s trying to avoid him because he thinks he’s a bad person who’d be bad for Tim;

in BW: Murderer, Tim doesn’t trust Bruce absolutely, but in Red Robin, he does trust Dick absolutely (or at least, more than Tim trusts himself);

etc. etc. etc.

Who's right: Dick or Tim?

So, is Tim being too easy on Dick and looking at him with rose-colored glasses, and Dick’s harsher view of himself is the correct one; or is Dick a perfectionist who’s being too hard on himself, and Tim’s the one who’s actually seeing Dick’s strengths more clearly?

I don’t think the comics really commit one way or another! These are moments of multiple-perspectives, where we notice that Tim has one attitude and Dick has another attitude and that tells us things about the characters, not moments that are meant to resolve to a simplistic “one person is Right and one person is Wrong.” I think often you could argue that they're both right? So, like, if you wanted to take the approach of, "Tim's idolizing him but he's not actually as great as Tim thinks," I don't think the comics precisely contradict that interpretation.

... THAT SAID, look, I am a Dick Grayson fan at heart, and I tend to lean toward “Dick’s being too hard on himself.”

Tim’s not oblivious to Dick’s flaws—he immediately figures out, for example, that Dick’s gonna attack the Joker, and rushes off to stop him; he just isn’t as judgmental about this moment as Dick is, and he doesn’t think it makes Dick an awful person forever. The point is (Tim says later, practical-minded) that it was made right, and Dick shouldn’t beat himself up about it. In Prodigal, Tim’s not unaware that their fight with Croc went badly; he’s just focused on how Dick’s morals and teamwork-centric attitude feel right to him in a way that Azrael’s didn’t, and look, Tim didn’t get shot even though he got shot at, and isn’t that the important thing? Tim gets caught in the same ambush that Dick does in Nightwing 6; he just takes the glass-half-full attitude toward it while Dick takes the glass-half-empty attitude. And so on.

Tim admires Dick, looks up to him, trusts him, interprets his flaws generously, and doesn’t think he’s a failure. And... this isn't quite in the comics, but it doesn't contradict them: I like to imagine Dick feeling like he's on a pedestal, and feeling kinda uncomfortable with Tim's admiration when he's forced to realize it exists, and feeling like he doesn't deserve it, and sometimes subconsciously braced for the other shoe to drop, convinced that Tim can't possibly really think this forever, that he's deluded somehow, and that eventually Tim will realize who Dick really is and get disillusioned and leave.

And I tend to think of Dick having this problem a bit with everyone in his life who thinks highly of him, but especially with Tim, because he doesn't feel like Tim's ever needed him or that he's done anything worth Tim's admiration. I feel like Dick - despite some insecurities - does know his own worth as a team leader, and he knows he was a good partner to Bruce, and he understands when he's helping people who are clearly floundering, like Damian and Rose. But all he's ever done for Tim is...hang out, and be nice. And he doesn't think Tim ever needed fixing or saving, and he vastly underestimates both the value of his own friendship in general and how much it's meant to Tim in particular. Not all the time, because later in their relationship when they've known each other for years I do think Dick does feel a bit more secure in that friendship and entitled to make demands based on it (and vice versa, for Tim). But I do imagine Dick periodically feeling like Tim lets him off the hook too easily, and thinks more highly of him than he should, and alternating between being grateful for it and uncomfortable with it.

But I would argue that Dick does deserve Tim’s admiration!

Look, Dick's not a perfect person - no one is. He does screw up sometimes, and sometimes he's petty or jealous, and sometimes his temper gets the better of him. But he is pretty great! He's brave and thoughtful and kind and generous and caring. He takes his own grief and his own suffering and devotes himself to helping other people. And Tim sees that. Tim watches an orphaned kid crying on stage, and has nightmares about it - and later recognizes the hero in him. Tim stops Dick from beating the Joker to death, and he holds Dick back from strangling Hugo Strange, and he talks Dick down from two separate panic attacks, and he listens to Dick monologue about his various perceived failures, and he gets yelled at a lot when Dick's annoyed with him, and his takeaway from all of that is that he believes in Dick, and trusts Dick, and thinks he's a hero.

You could see that as Tim having him on a pedestal and refusing to acknowledge the ugly reality. But I tend to see it as Tim understanding that Dick's flaws and occasional missteps don't define who he is - the fact that Dick's human doesn't make him any less of a hero. Tim can see the hero that Dick can't always see in himself.

Dick and Tim have really high opinions of each other... for better or worse

Tim's not alone in having a high opinion of Dick - Dick thinks Tim's pretty great, too! Dick repeatedly compares himself to Tim and finds himself wanting, whether he's thinking that Tim's a better partner for Bruce, or having a fear toxin nightmare where Tim's a rival who's beating him out of a job, or deciding that Tim would never have let Blockbuster die (and that he'll be better off if Dick avoids him), or musing that Tim would be a better Batman. Dick calls Tim his equal and closest ally in Red Robin; Tim thinks Dick is "the best" in his origin story and basically never changes his mind.

I think nowadays we're sometimes pretty highly-attuned to the way that high expectations can be bad or oppressive, and... I have mixed feelings about this? On the one hand, it isn't untrue! Dick and Tim's mutual high opinions of each other, and correspondingly high expectations, are not an unmixed blessing! They 100% cause problems! Dick and Tim think highly of each other, and expect a lot from each other, and sometimes they're pushy or abrupt or demanding when they could stand to be more sensitive. And the iffy side of high expectations is something I find interesting, and I do think it's solidly canon-based - you see aspects of this in several of their comic conflicts - LPoD, Graduation Day, BftC, RR, etc.

But at the same time, it's complicated! I don't think you can fully untangle the higher expectations from "they rely on each other and have a lot of faith in each other." Love and trust are different things, and Dick and Tim care a whole lot about being trusted, not just about being loved.

I also think it's important that their belief in each other is often a gift rather than an inevitability: Dick and Tim choose to see each other in positive ways. Something they both do is after they have a conflict, they'll apply on a retrospective very positive gloss to whatever just happened. So e.g. Dick starts Resurrection mad at Tim, and ends it by declaring, "I let you make the choice... because I knew you'd make the right one." Tim spends most of Red Robin 1-12 mad at Dick, and ends it by declaring that he knew Dick would catch him because Dick's always there for him. And in both cases, we-the-readers are aware that they knew no such thing! But to me, that doesn't make these declarations meaningless - it makes them more meaningful. Their faith in each other is sometimes genuinely felt, and sometimes it's something they stubbornly brute-force into existence because they want to give that gift to each other.

And I mean... Tim did make the right choice. Dick was there when it really counted. Just because it isn't the whole truth doesn't mean it's not a truth.

Now, does this positivity also put some pressure on them? Absolutely! They're both people who are very upset by failure, so they tend to reassure each other by insisting that there was no failure, could never be failure, failure is impossible, even when they know perfectly well that's not true. They praise each other's skills as a love language, when what they mean is I love you no matter what. They talk about other people's needs but don't always acknowledge each other's. And it'd probably be healthier if they said instead, "Even if you'd made the wrong choice, it'd be okay, because it's okay to make the wrong choice sometimes," or "Even if you're not always there for me, that's okay, because no one can be there for someone else all the time."

And they do not say that, because Dick and Tim are relatively well-adjusted by Batfamily standards but that is a very low bar, and at the end of the day they're still deeply messed-up perfectionists who deal with their emotional problems by punching crime in the face.

But look, they're trying. And isn't that the important thing? <3
