[Image ID: Screenshot of a paragraph that reads ‘Batman is quite famously an orphan, as are the first two Robins. For years Tim Drake was unusual among the Batclan in having a living parent, but eventually the temptations of orphanhood overcame the writers. End ID]
still one of the funniest ways i’ve ever heard tim’s backstory recapped
okay. i mean this with the utmost affection. but. while imogen and laudna telling each other "im you're anchor. you're my tether" as reassurance about going "dark" or giving into the lure of power is very meaningful and important. it also kind of struck me like. hey wait one of you anchoring the other. fine. possibly-functional. but doesnt BOTH of you tethering to each other risk creation of a spinning centrifugal blur whirling down the road to power.
and like yes yes this isnt an original thought and the proper terminology for this is probably like "dual corruption arc" or in CR "i broke the world for you" yes but. i wanted to share the specific imagery my brain provided for this train of thought, which is roughly:
Do you think Character and Frisk are nonbinary or is it supposed to be up to the players ?
no i don't think they're nonbinary
seeing as every single human we've met has been referred to as neutral the most logical conclusion is that UTDR humans straight up don't have genders at all.
the best part of finishing an asset that gave you trouble isnt like. being done with it its putting it in unreal and giving it collision and just beating the everloving fuck out of it
ayoo guess who finally sat down and caught up with cultivate B)

yet once again. cultivate by the wonderful @neonghostcat
sometimes when hiatuses are a bit long, people tend to cement their HCs of characters into their mind and then when canon hits, it's very hard to separate the two - the blorbo in your mind who kept growing as a person during the hiatus and the actual blorbo who has really only had the love of his life in his arms for less than a week and is behaving appropriately for that situation
thinking again about that time tim broke into dick’s apartment in bludhaven and immediately started making fun of his home security the moment dick walked in the door
nightwing (1996) issue 6
and then the next time we see someone break into dick’s apartment (this time it’s a stranger trying to rob him) we find out that he has installed a human-sized glue trap in front of his home entertainment system (and coincidentally, right next to the window)
nightwing (1996) issue 12
this is a cartoonishly deranged thing for dick to put in his apartment as actual security but also i believe with my whole heart that this was meant for tim. this is cruel and unusual punishment for some random home invader but completely justified if it was actually meant to clown on one’s annoying younger brother all along
My goal in this fandom is to spread the idea that it’s cool to explore Zane’s inhumanness because idk if I’m just not looking for it properly but I can’t find ANYTHING exploring that he is a Nindroid to the fullest extent. Let this man have loading screen eyes while he thinks because he thinks it’s funny, explore how self sacrificial he is because he’s “expendable” since he can build a new body or body part, explore the quirks of machinery like software updates giving Zane a funny or exploitable glitch.
SO many cool things can be explored and u bet your ass I’m actively planning like 4 separate comics about it as we speak

me when my attempts to tear down a system that is built off of violence and grabs for power stem from a place of disgust and overwhelming guilt despite my best intentions and instead continue to perpetuate the cycle of violence in a bloody attempt to instate peace
