Whenever I see this I am dumbstruck like... the whole fun IS creating and sharing your creation. The whole fun IS making this shit...

Why would you robb yourself like that? Would you let chat gpt also cook your favourite meal, the one you know how to make blind ever since your nana taught you?

Would you let chat gpt sing for you in the shower?

Would you let chat gpt fuck your spouse?

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.

there is SOMETHING about getting the chance to look into the future - and all you see is your most favourite person ever, all hopeless, living somewhere in a run down motel, dirty and alone. Without you around.......

What could have even happened?

Why did this even happen??????

i hate gun batman

I hate Gun Batman! He's stupid!

Not for the reasons you think.

I'm fine with Tim becoming evil in an alt universe. That's interesting. I would love to see how this impacts him as a character.

I am not, however, fine with how it happened.

First of all: Batman???

Tim would go evil, sure, but he would not disrespect one of the symbols he's looked up to. He values the symbolism and meaning of Batman&Robin more than the majority of the Batfam. To Tim, the symbols matter. And he would not corrupt one of those symbols without losing his respect for that symbol.

See, even if Bruce fucked up majorly (which he has many times: see Tim's sixteenth birthday) Tim would still respect Batman as a symbol. Tim compartmentalizes practically everything about his life. To him Robin and Tim are not the same person and they don't mean the same thing. Why would Batman be any different?

The symbols are about public perception and what they mean to the people of Gotham, not just what they mean to the other vigilantes. So even if Bruce fucks up with Tim personally, Tim will still value Batman as a symbol of justice and mercy and second chances. He would not use a symbol like Batman to impose a society where free will doesn't exist. He would have to lose respect for Batman as a symbol to do that, and the provided explanation (all of the Bats dying, basically) wouldn't do it.

If anything, he'd see it as disrespectful to the dead to take the symbol that Bruce upheld and turn it into a dictator.

This goes for Robin, too, by the way. Tim wouldn't be an evil Robin any more than he would be an evil Batman, because he places immense value in the symbols of Batman&Robin. He respects what they mean, what they accomplish, and what they inspire just as much as (if not more than) he respects the actual people inside the suits.

So don't make Tim Batman. Easy fix.

Or, if they had to make Tim Batman, find a better reasoning! Make him lose his respect for the symbols! That would be interesting from a character analysis standpoint and also devastating for Tim to see himself betraying something he places so much value in.

Give him a reason to lose respect in the symbols! If he has to be Batman, make it make sense.

Secondly, the weapon.

Using the gun that killed Bruce's parents? I'm sorry Tim would never.

Or like, he would, but only if he felt betrayed by Bruce. Which he didn't. He lost Bruce. He wouldn't use a weapon with such a personal meaning to Bruce as a force for evil, because he respects the man.

(whether or not he should respect Bruce is a different conversation, the point is that he does)

I believe the reasoning in-universe for why he uses the gun is that he's "reclaiming" it as a force for good? Stupid reasoning. Tim knows how Bruce felt about guns.

He wouldn't disrespect the symbol of Batman by wielding a gun as Batman, and he wouldn't disrespect his mentor figure by taking the source of a personal tragedy and using it to cause more tragedy. Not to mention that Bruce absolutely hated guns.

Tim! Respects! The! Symbols! And! The! People! Behind! The! Symbols!

Thirdly, the motivation.

It's a stupid ass motivation.

Well. I mean. That's not quite it. Tim Being Alone is absolutely what would kickstart his evil arc. Every single time Tim is alone is the bad timeline.

But that wouldn't make him want to eliminate free will. If anything he would put more effort into protecting people- he lost his family, so now he has to make sure he doesn't fail to protect anyone else.

So, in order to get a Tim that would resort to eliminating free will, you have to add a secondary motivation.

For example: Tim loses all of the Bats. They're dead. He still wants to protect people and give them second chances, but... they keep making the obviously wrong choices. They choose to make things worse instead of better. Tim starts to fixate on only the people who keep wasting their second chances. He can't seem to see the people who use those chances for good, because to him it looks like there are so much less of them. And he can see how to make it better. So he does. He assumes control.

That is a good way to make Tim resort to eliminating free will. It takes one of his already established flaws (thinking that he's correct about the majority of things) and expands upon it. It gives him a reason to want to say goodbye to free will other than 'wah my family is dead.'

Because, like I said, Tim compartmentalizes. If he had the support of the Titans (who aren't dead in the Gun Batman timeline)- actual unwavering support and not just saying 'go to therapy, Tim' and taking away the only source of stability in his life- then he could recover. He would still hurt and he wouldn't be the same but he could recover.

And Tim also doesn't place much value in himself. His personal loss wouldn't matter in the face of everyone else who he perceives as mattering more. So sure, he'd be upset and grieving and all that, but he would also place more value in the well-being of Gotham than his grief.

However, if he begins to see the people of Gotham as not worthy of saving (which would take a lot) then he would want to fix it. He would fixate on their flaws and try to make them better.

That is how Tim would become a free-will-removing dictator. It would be because of loss, yes, but it wouldn't be only because of loss.

Fourth: Gun Batman just isn't that creative.

They just gave him his mentor's title and called it a day. Come on. If you're going to make Tim a villain be creative about it! Base his villainy around something Tim already has an interest in!

It feels lazy. Evil future Tim is Batman, because Batman was his mentor and that's good for drama! Please. Tim respects the symbols too much to do that. It doesn't fit his character. And if you want it to fit his character either give him a reason to stop respecting the symbols or make him not disrespect the symbols.

Take something Tim enjoys or is good at and make that his evil self.

A more crack-ish evil Tim that focuses on cars and driving! He might even skateboard- he made a skateboard that could go 80mph one time, I believe.

An omnipresent-feeling evil Tim that does most of his work through computers! (If you wanted to make this about his loss, what about 'honoring' Barbara by becoming an Oracle-adjacent figure? Babs taught him to hack, I believe. If he becomes a hacker then he could also 'honor' her that way.)

(This of course assumes that Tim believes he is doing the right thing and thinks that what he's doing would honor Babs. This is different from Gun Batman because it isn't taking something that Batman hates and using it as a weapon. It isn't corrupting a symbol of mercy and second chances. Oracle isn't a 'symbol,' it's just a respected vigilante and a person that Tim would like to honor. Am I making sense? It's the same way Tim thinks Nightwing is a respected vigilante but not a symbol in the way that Batman&Robin are.)

A pyromaniac evil Tim that blows shit up!

A petty evil Tim that becomes the Red Hood and uses guns that way. It would be so interesting to see what would lead Tim to that! Is it spite? Is it begrudging respect? Is it to be funny and continue the joke that Tim 'steals' Jason's names?

An evil Tim that stayed with the League post-Brucequest!

An evil Tim who's so loyal to his friends that he took down the JL for them! (Superman was dismissive of Kon, or Barry/Wally/Whoever didn't support Bart, or Cassie felt pressured to be perfect, etc etc)

See? It wasn't that hard to come up with these. Do they all make sense? No. Would all of them make a compelling story? No. But they're all more creative or make more sense than Tim becoming Gun Batman.

And that took me about ten minutes. It took me ten minutes to think of traits that Tim has or things he enjoys that could translate into an interesting villain. Obviously, these ideas aren't perfect. But I spent ten minutes on them.

It's just... it feels lazy to just take the name of Tim's mentor and give him that. Make evil Tim themed around things that Tim is good at or things that he enjoys. It isn't /that/ hard.

Finally: Gun Batman feels contrived.

This might just be me. But I feel like Gun Batman was created just to make it so that Tim had a reason to not become Batman.

It feels lazy and contrived. They needed Tim to not become Batman so they made Tim-as-Batman evil.

Again, this might just be me, and the reason for Gun Batman might be something else, but still.

Conclusion Time!

I hate Gun Batman. I hate Gun Batman with all of my heart. I think evil alt-universe Tim could be so much more interesting and creative than "give him a gun and make him Batman." I think Gun Batman is a waste of potential. I think Gun Batman doesn't make sense for Tim as a character.

Thank you for your time. DC, hire me to make evil Tim. I could do it.

opinion on fish?

- totally not fishy friend

[Day 26] They’re ok. Ive got no strong opinions about them really. Well, other than the fish that..fish.. I’ve never bothered actually asking them why they do it. It’s strange but I’ve gotten used to it. Still strange though..

[daemon-in-my-head]

Gortash and Durge should have a great Dane. It's their compromise for no gnolls but still big scary looking smth. Also real dogs exists so, no reason not to.

Scenarios to further increase how vital it would be;

During day, when they go for a walk, everyone very respectfully takes a step back cuz scary ppl and scary dog

Children are children so if one against all odds approaches them Gortash can show off just how much of a saviour and great person he is cuz he got scary durge and dog under control so kiddo can pet it/them. Depending on the durge ig

At night; much snoring, much cuddles, much domestic bliss

Ppl sitting on chairs with a great dane besides them. Look at it. It's screaming at me.

SUP PARTY PEOPLE

have a such small question, those who have been watching my blog for a long time may or may not know my beloved children (Ivy and Fey lol) have their big backstories. SO WHATS a DEAL do you want me to immediately throw the stories of these two right here in Tumblr in the next post OR do you want me to try to throw file OR slowly opened in posts and animations at least Fey lore? because at least while I was writing HIS story I got 13 pages ( ivy's backstory is 11 pages--) also just want to check if you are alive here-- or do you think my blog is dead like me?
