1.2k words into my meta abt pre-crisis Robin personality differences and I stop. "Wait, I'm not sure if all of this is technically about their personalities."

#ax rants #I'm so deep in narrative analysis and character framing that I can't remember how to explain “personality”#I don't think it helps that I was recently reading some meta and looked at the panels they used for examples #And remembered the arc they were writing about and realized h ow different their interpretation was of that action.#One person describes Jason's “we go down fighting. come at us you clowns!” speech in Batman: The Cult as “brash and arrogant”#I describe it as “bravado in the face of death�� with a dash of “probably trying to play hypeman so drugged!Batman will freak out less"
