#I Understand Him™

[unpersoniverse]

"I recognize Haytham Kenway is an interesting character with many layers of complexity shaped from his upbringing and perspective of the world" and "I still hate his dead beat colonist ass" are two sentences that should be allowed to coexist in this fandom

As an anime only who got spoiled about it watching dunmeshi fully knowing that Chilchuck is an actual father is super fun because even without purposely putting much attention to it you still can tell exactly where and when his dad senses are KICKING like god ITS SO CLEARR

Genuinely I'm so tired of seeing a massive lack of media literacy in the HSR Fandom, specifically when it comes to Dr. Veritas Ratio.

Like, somebody please explain to me why on earth people portray Ratio as an unfeeling, uncaring, brash asshole who can and will punt you because he simply felt like it.

Why do people act like we don't have multiple receipts of him being a kind and caring person who does have (logical) empathy, and who wants nothing more than to spread knowledge across the galaxy because that's his passion. Even if he goes about it in a way that might seem less than ideal.

There are numerous things that he HAS done in canon that directly oppose whatever 'ideals' fanon Ratio is written to have. It's like the man can never catch a break and is constantly being doomposted for literally no reason other than the fact certain Ratio haters™ took his words personally. (I mean that half jokingly, to be honest.)

I've also noticed a substantial amount of people who despise Ratio but absolutely adore Ruan Mei who, objectively, is a lot worse than Ratio. She just takes the time to sugarcoat her personality. (Was the whole drugging ordeal not just symbolism for a lie being wrapped up in sugar with a bow on top (e.g a sugar coated lie) or is that just me looking too deeply into it???)

*Not to say I don't like Ruan Mei or that she's a fully terrible person.

And yes of course he's going to think himself better than some people because he was raised in such a way that he'd been alienated from his peers since childhood because he was always told he was "better" and was pushed to be the absolute best. Does that justify certain behaviors? No. But people give him absolutely zero grace while going and woobifying other characters who have done bad things just because they had a bad past.

And these are all just surface level, shallow notes of his character, by the way. I can't do his entire character justice but people have done some in-depth character analysis on him that were most definitely worth the read.

In a way it's almost amusing (albeit sad) how this random purple haired man has sparked so much outrage simply by existing. But it's also exhausting because I don't want to open my socials and see 8 Ratio OOC and/or hate posts consecutively even if I try to avoid them.

Pregnancy as a kink makes me uncomfortable so man am I glad your pregg Flug stuff is explicitly not kink oriented!

yeah I... don't wanna judge anyone... but it's more than that, it's downright terrifying to me. Blame my hormones bc I'm expecting irl but wow... I'm very sensitive and it feels dehumanizing. but ig that is kinda the point of the kink(?)

it's so common in fandoms!

I'm completely vanilla anyway tho, so not surprising.

I've tried to pretend for a super long time that I'm into kink, but most of them are off putting and I consider them intrusive thoughts, not fantasies. I'm kinda fluctuating between sex-repulsed and neutral (aroace) even fictional... ig kink just isn't for me. I tried so hard to get over it. I know some people in my asks/requests are gonna be disappointed but I'm sorry💔

I'm slightly ashamed of how boring I am and I have serious trouble connecting to anyone in fandoms due to this actually🤕 feel like the most NT autistic person ever.

anyway here's a doodle!

Currently thinking about the idea of Tolys getting to the United States, and Alfred who is a touchy person because he's like a golden retriever and so excited to see him... and Tolys having to find a way to go "I associate physical touch with danger right now" without getting Alfred to ask more questions. Alfred eventually catches onto the fact that Tolys tenses up every time he puts his arm around him or a hand on his shoulder and point blank asks him if he wants him to stop and Tolys just collapses like "THANK GOD I DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK." Because he is himself is why.

I took upon myself the herculean task of compiling all Dick and Diana interactions.

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #16

Nemesis: The Impostors #3

Nightwing (2016) #100

Titans (2016) Special 1

Titans (2016) Annual 1

Justice League (2011) #51

Wonder Woman (1987) #161

Wonder Woman (1987) #166

Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #4

Nightwing (1996) Annual 2

Some honorary mentions:

These two ones where Diana doesn't interact with Dick one-on-one and is only a part of a larger group, but it's still a good way to show that she respects and trusts him as a leader.

The Brave and The Bold (2007) #15

Justice League: Generation Lost #1

This one where Dick isn't here but Diana shows appreciation for his skills and is very quick to accept that Nightwing should be honored by being in the League (also this isn't about him but I love Clark's "finally, someone easy." That's a proud uncle y'all).

Justice League of America (2006) #2

This one where Diana isn't here but she lets Dick use her Lasso, I think that counts.

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #17

This one where Diana gifted Dick the fastest horse in the world, apparently.

Justice League (2018) #53

These from the 1966 Batman and 1977 Wonder Woman shows' crossover comic.

Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77 #5

Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77 #6

Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77 #10

And then—

Then...

Yeah. That's about it. It's an unfortunately short list. But what little we do have shows that they have a bond of mutual trust and respect for each other. It's very interesting and I wish they explored it more.

tim as ceo is an absurd concept (at his age of twenty something because i am a seventeen atheist) except as a joke, but i can see him as a corporate drone around bruce (as head of some kinda department? very nepo baby)

he's the only one of bruce's kids interested in corporative work (except for maybe Duke): Dick is very community focused (officer, teacher, etcetc), Jason is dead (legally and emotionally and ocasionally physically), Cass Could Not Care Less, Steph is Not Official and you can take vet/activist Damian out of my cold dead hands

so yes, tim (and maybe duke) as future nepo baby heads of WE, thank you

i've unfortunately been watching rvb, lads

jshk × love-bullet au??

except in jshk almost everyone dead has experienced love in their life so. (evil grin) It's going to be about a certain someone I've been waiting for the opportunity to talk about for ages.

I'm so normal I swear!

I might or might have not got just a tiny bit carried away and come up with tons of headcanons. might reblog with some later if I feel like it
