to be honest? I've never even understood the rationale for fake-claiming in any context. There are millions of people, more dying and being born every day, and you really think we can invent enough genders, identities, disorders, words and categories to cover every possible type of human that's ever been born or will be born in the future???!! of course not, there's gonna be people who fall outside of the boxes we have because there can never be enough boxes. like there physically cannot be enough boxes.
"but they're weird and cringe that's how i know." buddy. buddy come here lean in close i have a secret for you, crazy girlie.
*whispers* everyone who isn't neurotypical, ablebodied, cishet, and fitting the beauty and societal standards for their culture, is considered weird by default. and EVEN people who ARE fitting of those standards can ALSO be weird in other ways. you can't tell me someone isn't lgbt or isn't plural or isn't autistic because they're "weird" when everyone is constantly being called weird anyway. being plural is weird to people. having NPD is weird to people. having skitzohphrenia is weird to people. Being a boy who likes girly stuff is weird to people. being a lesbian is weird to people. having no legs is weird, being fat is weird, there are always going to be people calling other people weird and cringe. you simply CANNOT use "weird" or "cringe" as a basis to judge validity. you just can't???
I literally do not get it like how does that work how do you like...think that you can tell if someone's faking something. what do we have left here, like, tone of voice and body language? autism is a thing and anxiety disorders are a thing so we already know that can vary and be untrustworthy. you literally can never tell as an outsider looking in??!

Everyone who has ever, even slightly, been Robin
*In official, DC-endorsed media
Total: 98 (i think)
FYI:
my definition of a ‘Robin’ is extremely vague. For example, I’m counting Lois Lane because she went to a costume party as Robin, and I’m also counting ‘Boy’ from Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne because he had the domino mask paint and was clearly a stand-in for Robin. Et cetera.
They’re organized chronologically by their first appearance as Robin
Also this is heavily dependent on DC Fandom Wiki, so please let me know if I missed anyone or if anything is inaccurate
KEY
Red = actually Robin for a significant portion of time (more than a few in-universe days & more than one issue/episode/movie/etc)
Italics = was never Robin in main continuity (i.e. Earth Two [before Earth One existed], Earth One, New Earth, and Prime Earth)

So my friend got a thing and now I'm playing Live A Live (apparently it's pronounced "Live Alive," and that's another thing I just get to be corrected on because I read more than I converse)
I decided to tackle the chapter that I suspected would be the most annoying first (prehistory), and the one my friend found frustrating second (Far Future).
My thoughts so far:
-I was entirely right to start with prehistory because my annoyance at some of its elements was mitigated by having to figure out the combat system, which served as a solid distraction.
-I was going to name the character after Gau from FFVI, but he's actually not very high on my favorite character list because FFVI has 14 characters and most of them are not Blue Mages (which I find incredibly frustrating to play because I have to memorize what everything is immune to).
I named him Grok instead because it sounds like early phonetic nonsense but it actually has a meaning.
-I totally made a call about Zaki based on his combat animations that turned out to be right. Also both my friend and I were disappointed that the voices in this version (and the smiley face button -_-) revealed him to not be a tall hot girl.
-Upon hearing the voices in the next chapter I desperately searched for and found a way to change the dub language to Japanese because I'm not buying a guy with that name having Wheatley's accent.
-If it's not obvious by now I'm playing the remake by the fact that there's a voiceover.
-Currently trying to figure out whether Kato has an accent in Japanese because there *is* an accent in Japanese that often gets characters slapped with either a Southern US accent or the intrusive Wheatley accent. I can't hear one, but then again I don't speak Japanese.
-Also trying to figure out if everyone on this flying syringe is going to die as the story progresses or if I'm just paranoid seeing death-flags. I mean counting five sleeping people at the start when there is supposed to be six is suspicious, to be fair.
-Realized that this chapter could very well suck like my friend said if I don't pick a name for the playable character that makes me immediately and extremely attached to him despite the dumb hat, so I named him Baymini.
-The rec room broadcast is about as far as I am right now.
Character names so far:
Grok, Baymini
