dc comics fandom is like if goncharov (1973) was a real movie but people did all the "making stuff up about it!!" anyways and if you tried to talk about the contents of the actual movie people would call you an elitist snob and gatekeeper

its not enough to block this person (because tumblr's block system is kind of a trash fire) i also have to blacklist their url (because tumblr's block system is a trash fire) so i don't have to see their fuckign posts (because tumblr's block system is a trash fire.) :/

everyone should read steel (1994) because not only is john henry irons there but also he has some incredibly homoerotic moments with a man whose entire character concept is that he's from a family of incredible superspies but he was like "no dad... that was your dream!" and ran away to join the theater.

last night i had a dream i had to go to school to take an exam in my young justice (1998) class. and i was bewildered as to what could possibly be on an exam in a yj98 class but i showed up and sat down and got my exam paper. the first question was "which of these medical conditions do you have but have never disclosed?" and it was multiple choice and i don't remember all the options but one of them was "asplenia", and i looked up and in one of the other seats in the classroom, tim drake was sitting there and just Frowning at this exam paper.

the other thing abt tim&tam that fascinates me is like... she met him when he was at rock fucking bottom and clawing his way back up. and it's partly by virtue of how comics often are written but their romance reads a little rushed to me - she kisses him for saving her life, and that's that. she's into him now. she sees him and she realizes he's sad, he's hurting, he's a little freak, but how well does she actually know him? she trusts him with her life because he's saved it before, but does she know that he used to go to baseball games with his dad, or that he goes to car shows for a good time, or that he's struggled with the vigilante-civilian stuff for years? what does he know about her? (hell, what do we the reader get to know about her that's not related to tim or her dad?? not even her college major???)

and i know it being a romance that just ... happens + tam getting kinda shafted as "The Girl™" is kind of part and parcel of the comic book medium, that the romances are often rushed bc the focus is on the action and plot, but. i think leaning into that in this case as an in-universe phenomenon is fun. because tam idealizes tim for being her hero when she was in mortal danger, and because tim's never had a civilian friend be in the know before, and he's reveling in that novelty, because he doesn't have to lie to her... until he does anyway, because old habits are hard to break, and he still has that same mental dichotomy of "person he can respect/trust enough to work with as equals, versus person he needs to protect and therefore keep out of the loop" (see also: how he and frankly all the bats treated steph in the past).

and i think that actually makes their breakup so compelling. she was willing to look past all his flaws or just see them as exciting because he's a hero and he saved her and she's his confidante. he is in the fucking pits mental health wise and he has Not worked on figuring out how to deal with his worst habits. he's entrenched in the vigilante business and he's jumping from pitfall to pitfall. tim doesn't even think he did something wrong - he thinks keeping that lucius was alive from her was necessary even if it cost him her friendship. like, it sucks and he wishes it didn't have to be that way, but he doesn't think it was a mistake or the wrong choice. of course they fall apart. it's inevitable. if it hadn't been over faking her dad's death and not telling her it was fake, it would've been something.

anyways i just think them both having a slow burn from awkward exes/ex-friends into real actual friendship for the first time would be so good. like both of them actually getting to know each other in ways they didn't before. like, tim has to do enough character growth to get out of his mental health pit and work enough on his identity issues etc. to understand that he didn't have to shut her out. that will take him a hot minute. and i think tam realizing how little she actually knew him outside of being a hero is also just sooo juicy.

so it should take time. but after they get to the point of being able to have actual conversations again, i wanna see tim talking to her about things other than business. and tam actually getting to tell him about her interests. gimme them growing to care about each other for who they both are as people, not just because circumstances brought them together and then kept them there because she knew too much for tim to walk away.

was talking to nik yesterday about kryptonians having 4 lungs (one set for breathing normally one set for frost breath) and maybe that's the actual reason clark has such a big chest and then i was like haha adult kara but in the same style as tim sale's clark, i.e. built like a fridge! but now i can't stop thinking about this actually. what if kara as an adult was just as big and buff as her cousin. what then

timkon version of klimt's "the kiss" but kon is the one on the right. tim may or may not have gotten something to stand on in order to be kissing him from above (even though kon's kneeling) (kon also may or may not be floating while kneeling just to make it a little harder on him) (tim's really smug that he has successfully gotten a kiss in despite this. he won. take that kon. get fucking smooched idiot!!!) (kon is going 🥰🥰🥰 bc he loves to get smooched yay yippee yay yayy). do you see the vision

[mamawasatesttube]

its been a minute since i mentioned but just like btw to any newer followers - i am a sideblog and also i don't tend to follow people back from main for a variety of reasons (i am a small animal easily frightened by too much change on my dash/too many new icons on there at once, im very picky about what i see on my dash, etc) but i never mind people chatting w me + if you're in my notifications a lot i do know who you are!!

[mamawasatesttube]

you already know what time it is...

[mamawasatesttube]

BTW... PSA.... even if we arent mutuals if youre in my notes regularly theres a Very high chance i am still fond of you. yes im vaguing someones tags on the compliment the person u rbed this from post. but like. positive vaguing? THE POINT IS im weird abt following ppl but IM STILL SENDING U FOND VIBES...

[mamawasatesttube]

i still can't believe that "you should read comic books in the comic book fandom" is somehow some kind of spicy hot take tbh. comics are cool and some of them have my best friend superman in them. and if that's not enough they even have lois lane. what's not clicking

[mamawasatesttube]

every time i see someone call tim a mom friend i take psychic damage. KON is the mom friend. tim is the DAD friend. tim is not going to go "sit down and tie your shoes properly before you trip over them!! hey, have you eaten??? don't forget to put on your sunscreen!" tim is gonna go "hey buddy. everything alright?" and then because he's emotionally inept despite being full of love, he'll build you a deck. except he modded it with some wheels and a chassis for support and four wheel drive and a bitchin engine and ahhhhh shit, he built you a car. again. fuck. sorry son. he'll get it right next time

[mamawasatesttube]

and then they kissed (because they both wanted to kiss kon)

"dc is so inconsistent and canon contradicts itself all the time so theres literally no point in trying to call anything non-canon or ooc" yeah mhm yeah totally for sure. also, this recipe for mac n cheese uses velveeta while this one says you can melt white cheddar, so actually this mixture of vinegar and road salt i've put together here is literally a pot of mac n cheese,

[mamawasatesttube]

i also want to see more timkon of the "oh tim is a monsterfucker. okay" variety. there's an alien freak of nature hovering ominously in the air, not moving, not even breathing by the look of it, unnaturally beautiful with horrific glowing red eyes. everything about it seems straight out of a horror movie. a thing that's almost but very clearly not human. and this fucking guy tim is over in the corner going 😍🥵🥰😳 about it??? is anyone else seeing this????
