another funny part of today's argument with the family

my sister: you live inside an echo chamber of your own opinions

me: How can I live in an echo chamber when I have to talk to you lot everyday

[umbrellajam]

Tim: When Gotham needed him, he was there. When the Batman needed him, he was there. He was a hero. Tim: But he was nothing special, really. Just a boy, who was taught--trained--brought to his full potential by someone who knew how. Tim: Just a boy…like me. Tim: I can do it. I know I can. One day I'll be as good as Jason. One day I'll wear the suit. One day I'll be a hero. - Detective Comics #618

no, Tim didn't admire Jason's Robin because he was better, warmer, more compassionate, more connected to the little people, more "magic" etc. etc. than Dick's Robin

he admired Jason for being a regular-ass kid who stepped into Dick's shoes and tried to fill them because Gotham and Batman needed Robin - a nigh impossible task because Dick was and is the best, as far as Tim was concerned, but Jason did it anyway.

very relatable! for a normal kid who daydreamed about being Robin! and didn't think he could ever live up to ✨Dick Grayson!✨ but was determined to do it anyway because he felt he had to, and no one else would!

Why do you ship deathstar? Not asking out of malice I just genuinely wanna hear your thoughts.

I hope you have a pleasant morning/afternoon/night :]

I love Wander and Dominator because I see the potential for interesting characterization, and telling a good story. As a writer first and an artist second, that's how I tend to judge ideas. I'll explain some of the reasons why I think that.

I'm not going to justify all my points, since that'll take forever and it's OK if I don't "convince" anybody. If you get me, that's awesome, if you don't, that's totally fine! This is a lighthearted opinion piece, and I'm not trying to one-up other ships. Please don't take me too seriously!

Nobody cares about Dominator except Wander

I'll keep my ideas for a redemption arc vague, since I may explore them in the future. If it were to happen though, I feel the best setup is Dominator's defeat at the end of Season 2, and she should be separated from the main characters for part of it. However, I don't think it's possible all by herself, and there's nobody else as willing to forgive or help her as Wander.

All of the galaxy's natives hate her for destroying their homes. She toyed with Hater's feelings throughout the show, count him out. Peepers hates her for turning his boss into a lovesick fool and dominating "their" galaxy. Sylvia is clearly capable of getting along with her, but it was limited, and she organized the effort to destroy her in "The End of The Galaxy". Basically, Dominator isn't deserving of a second chance from anybody. Wander is the only one currently willing to offer it anyway, and I like the idea of it building to their first constructive interactions.

To be fair, he was definitely afraid of her. Dominator was a uniquely devastating threat, and as a competent villain, it was impossible to figure out her vulnerabilities. That drove him crazy, until he finally realized she was lonely in the Season 2 finale-- which isn't why she's evil, but the lack of company motivated some of her habits.[1] He proceeds to save her life, and after everything, tells her "it's never too late for a fresh start."

This is an absurdly forgiving and compassionate guy. We'll never know how many villains Wander reformed, but his efforts span over 1000 years. She might be a cut above the rest, but in his own way, he is too.

Wander's strengths cover Dominator's worst flaws

Wander has experience in areas Dominator lacks. She needs him far more than he needs her-- especially after being "a bit of a pill" to him-- which is fine, Wander and Sylvia are the same way. I'll explain why these two are still a great team in a moment.

Dominator is callous, emotionally immature, and socially stunted. "The Night Out" emphasizes all of it, and the ending suggests she might've never had a friend. Meanwhile, Wander is far more compassionate, emotionally mature, and experienced with relationships. He seeks nothing for himself,[2] loves the hate out of evildoers, and had plenty of close friendships.[3] I really like the idea of Wander, perceived as "dumb and hopeful and pathetic," turning out to be wiser than her and her needing to learn from it.

At the same time, he's not condescending at all. That's important in the beginning with how haughty Dominator is. I imagine Wander being himself and extending kindness, until she's reached the end of herself and humbled enough to accept help from him. I don't like the idea of shoehorning romance into their reconciliation, S2 was clear about it not redeeming her. This is simply laying the groundwork for it.

Wander and Dominator together might be overpowered

Deathstar is a bit of a "double the trouble" dynamic for me. Wander might not need Dominator as much as she needs him, but I don't think anybody else will simultaneously keep up and enhance the effects (good or bad) of whatever he does. I feel like Sylvia tells him, "You probably shouldn't do that," and Dominator tells him, "You should probably do it like this."

These two share strengths: perceptiveness and strategy. Wander reads villains like a book, figuring out their problems, and intentionally provokes them to get their attention while planning things to help them. Dominator reads her targets like a book, figuring out their vulnerabilities, and intentionally provokes them for attention or exploits their weaknesses for an advantage. I like the thought of her being the villain that stumped him so long, because she's as skilled as playing with people as he is!

If they fell in love, they would be a power couple. You're wedding a seasoned traveler to a technical genius with unmatched engineering skills. Despite their potential, I don't like sidelining Sylvia in their dynamic for a few reasons. For one thing, her grounded mindset is still valuable. Wander and Dominator are adventurous, and since he's optimistic and she's full of herself, both susceptible to thinking they can handle anything.

my favs. they are zilly

ok, i ship it because i think it works, but i am not a robot. i wouldn't love Deathstar as much if it wasn't my top 2 favorite characters. by themselves, i love them as super interesting and cute sillies. put together, their designs are so freaking cohesive idk,,,

Wander meets the greatest villains in the galaxy and wants to befriend them. it's so funny imagining that meeting THE villain eventually makes him go "smh who left this perfectly good wife here" 😭 my dopey headcanon: she's a special (severe) case and that makes her redemption admirable and attractive in particular,,, he thought he's seen it all after living so long

i love him looking up at her for 1 frame. he is so little!!! 🥺 she didn't pull him off btw. is it only shock or is she touch starved and in denial? goofy ahh green spoon. what is wrong with her??? oh right shes evil 🔥

i like when their eyes derp out and they did thE SAME FACE?? WAIT WHY ARE THESE BOTH FROM SEASON FINALES TOO. HELLO???

Thank you so much for asking. At the time of posting, everything I wrote applies to my current vision of Deathstar, whether or not I conveyed it yet.

"What? My body...It's breaking!"

I'm willing to bet you REAL money Bela listened to Alcina's warnings (like a good obedient daughter) and avoided the cold just like her mother said. When she said this line she was genuinely confused and scared at what was happening to her body which tells you that for almost a hundred years she never put herself in any situation where she was exposed to the cold because this is legitimately her first time seeing the cold's effect on her.

Cassandra, on the other hand, did say "I have to get warm" which means that she knows what's happening probably because this is not her first time dealing with the cold and its effect on her (it is probably a mix of rebelling against her mother's rules and finding out the hard way what the cold does to their bodies and also because of some maids' assassination attempts because they always want to start with the most dangerous sister thinking it's actually doable). Anyway, as I was saying, Cassandra wasn't surprised at her body's reaction to the cold because she's been there before and she was kinda used to it but Bela was dealing with it for the first time in her life and she was genuinely scared/surprised at what's happening.

I’m pulling out all the stops, I have been so focused on the internal battle that i know it seems i have given up. A cancer moonshot has reached my soul. As a meglet, I was enthralled with all things space. So, in an odd way, this title this adjusted vector in my journey, has lit a fire in me. I am raising $20,000 until 10/16/2024 for Enduring the winter: A journey through terminal cancer and survival. Can you help?

thoughts on dave and aradia (<>)?

day 356

BIG fan tbh. in this house we love and respect timerails

truly yall read this log and tell me theyre not cute

[mean-scarlet-deceiver]

How do we feel about them introducing Freddie as returning from Elsewhere (an overhaul or restoration, it sounds like?) as "an old friend" that even the newbies would have "heard a lot about"?

I can see how it doesn't work for the Skarloey Railway. But as a narrative device for "new" Sodor characters I feel like this would work really well for "unseen 80" N.W.R. engines. I could stand to see this trick used quite a bit for people introducing their OCs.

"While we do have an official physician assigned to look after our health, I still like to lend a hand - Especially when we're out on a campaign. Oh and please don't tell them I called them stubborn. I'd never hear the end of it if they knew,"

[checkthescript]

They let out a small yelp as they were dragged into the spotlight, tensing up and raising their fists for defense- But once they realized thwre was no danger, they lowered their fists, rolling their shoulders and glancing around.

``Sorry, bud- Wha... ``

It now dawned on them that the applause was for ... Them. Their cheeks flushed, yet they absent-mindedly reached for the doohickey hitched on their belt that they had mentioned was a "zapper." Praise always meant danger. Praise always meant some needy CEO was trying to get something. Thats how it was for as long as they could remember.. but now?

This praise was geniune. It didn't have that sharp aftertaste of greed- It didn't feel tainted... And it meant the world to them.

``Golly, I ... ``

Tears welled in their eyes. A peculiar cyan color, but perhaps thats just an anon thing.

``Thank you, sir, I- I appreciate it a lot, really-``

They wiped sweat off of their forehead with their sleeve - Just to be oresented with a whole medallion. They stared in awe, in shock- Then burst out crying.

They didn't really know why. They knew these were happy tears, but why had they come now..? The medallion wasn't that special, was it ..?

But it was. It was so comedically themed that hey couldn't help but laugh- Atleast now it would be clear these were good tears..?

It took them a bit to recollect themself... But once they did, they straightened their collar and posture.

``Okay, okay- Thank you so much, sir. I don't know what to say! ``

Best to answer his question, no?

``Nier A. Mata.``

-🛠️

(thank you for your patience!)

CTS// thank YOU for yours 😅

What an emotional display, folks!! Everyone got their tissues ready? I think I'm about to cry—and I don't even have tear ducts!

[* Tenna put his hand on their shoulder as he looked between the engineer and the crowd. Though he was still using his game show host voice, there was a real but subtle crackle in his words, possibly hinting at some amount of truth behind them.]

Well, Nier A. Mata, seems like you've nabbed yourself quite a few new fans here tonight—myself included! After all, I wouldn't be standing here if not for your selfless actions.

[* His expression shifted as he fixed them with a serious look.]

We're all really grateful to you, you know that? The whole of TV World is honouring your actions! I think I speak on everyone's behalf when I say:

Thank you.

[* The crowd had gone quiet up until this point, listening intently to Tenna's speech, but as those two words were spoken, they erupted in cheers once again, echoing the statement. Exclamations of love and appreciation resounded throughout the entirety of the auditorium. Tenna looked out at the people before the two of them before looking back at the Engineer. He made no effort to hide the playfulness of the smile the bloomed on his screen, observing their reactions with very apparent delight.]

(And just like that, a star is born.)

[* He seemed quite pleased with how this situation was unfolding. However, by the mischievous slight in his tone, it seemed the show host had one more surprise up his sleeve...]

Now, you've already got yourself that ✨ GORGEOUS ✨ medal,

BUT!!!

[* With a snappy suddenness in his movements, he turned, holding a finger up with a dramatic urgency as he faced the crowd. He was hyping them up for some sort of big reveal, pacing back and forth with a bombastic exaggeration while speaking. Their eyes were locked on him—likely just how he liked it.]

There is one more

prize that we have in store for YOU-

[* Tenna turned, pointing at Nier.]

-tonight...

Are you READY?

[* The audience is on the edge of their seats!]
