the suffering never ends

[alwaysboredsworld]

no moreover reading the plot notes and forgetting what point you were trying to make.

what do you mean i have to reimage the full plot

One of the worst things about coming back to a writing project is reading through it, enjoying it, then hitting the point where you stopped.

"What do you mean you didn't finish it?"

"What do you mean there's only half a paragraph of notes at the end?"

"And I'm the one that has to sit down and spend multiple hours on writing an ending to this thing? I have to answer these open questions and resolve these themes and make sense of what you were trying to build to?"

predictions for the f1 2025 car launch in london:

someone forgets to send out the dress code. george russell turns up in an immaculately pressed suit, lando norris turns up in black sweatpants.

the british drivers are raised onto the stage like they’re in the eras tour

the non-british drivers have to come in through the crowd entrance and buy their own tickets

christian horner still hasn’t decided who’s filling that second red bull seat. as a result max is accompanied on stage by what seems to be three untrained rookies in a trenchcoat

speaking of max, he doesn’t speak a word the entire night preferring instead to communicate short answers in sign language.

the hosts keep trying to awkwardly fill time à la eurovision song contest

there are at least two fistfights

and one dogfight (leo and roscoe)

pierre and esteban stand next to each other at first before they have to awkwardly be reminded that they’re not teammates anymore

someone makes a thinly veiled reference to the mclaren 2024 rear wing

kimi antonelli gets booed (british crowd) and about half the grid has to be physically restrained from jumping on the audience

toto wolff tries to seduce max yet again.

max audibly laughs at him. this is the only time we hear his voice all night.

oscar piastri gets visibly teary at the sight of drs since it’s the last time it’ll be used in f1

fred vasseur makes an insane prediction on how many races ferrari will win. everyone laughs at him.

he ends up being absolutely right

fernando turns up in another team’s colours

it’s later revealed that one team paid the sound engineers to play thunderous applause when their car was revealed

one livery will merit audible laughter

it will be alpine’s.

Do y’all also feel occasional OUTRAGE at someone else’s characterization of characters you love?

Like guys Dick Grayson is NOT “omg my baby brothers🥹 smol beans UwU I’m so ditzy and happy and emotional”

Jason Todd is NOT “omg it’s just the pit…he didn’t mean to kill people and become a crime lord…anyway he’s so sexy and manly and probably does xyz in bed”

(^yes I have personally seen ppl characterize him like this.)

…and the one I’m most passionate about…

TIM DRAKE IS NOT “ignored middle child who was so traumatized by his parents and now he’s just an anxious bean he’s so baby he cries all the time and he’s so nerdy and gets bullied by everyone…(plus the TRAGIC infantilization of his character by *some* of his diehard ‘fans’)”

…if y’all want more let me know -W-

[alwaysboredsworld]

it's funny that we were all so worried about viktor's villain arc and then jayce was like L + ratio + here's my unconditional love and forgiveness + i always thought your imperfections were beautiful + nothing about you is broken to me + in every universe i will find you and save you from your loneliness + none of this is worth it if you arent by my side. and viktor folded IMMEDIATELY

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

[alwaysboredsworld]

Same person who hired/created a fake uncle

"Tim feels abandoned" "he's being ignored" "tim is jealous of the attention they give damian" "tim is-" tim drake would break out into actual literal hives at the thought of anything resembling an adult monitoring him, he'd starting hissing like a feral cat if Bruce tried to get involved with his business, he'd saw his own arm off if his family tried to demand he checks in more than once a month with heavily coded messages

[alwaysboredsworld]

That’s what I’ve been saying!!!

“Slutty Dick Grayson” this, “Dick Grayson is a whore” that, guys.

Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne gets around.

Dated Steph for a hot minute because they were Robin at the same time and she’s cool, you know, the first hero he’s met that’s his age. Bicons go hard.

SUPERBOY?? CONNER KENT?? LEATHER JACKET?? Can you imagine his face when he realized he was having his first gay panic over a Super farmboy from Metropolis? Like he’d see Conner save a school bus full of kids and still stop to flirt with him and challenge his authority as team leader and think “oh, I hope this doesn’t awaken something in me”

Jason doesn’t like me and I’ve tried everything to get him to fuck off except flirting, let’s give it a whirl. Why did he turn red? Can I use this against him? (The answer is yes Tim has been able to short-circuit the terrifying Red Hood long enough to steal his case and get the credit)

Bernard Dowd will probably grow up to be a serial killer, but it’s funny to listen to him conspire about how Nightwing and Batman are the same guy with a split personality disorder for the time being.

At some point, Cassie and Bart and Kon and him cross over the line of besties, and then what’s he supposed to do? Not date the awesomest people he’s ever met?? No.

Tim Drake is a slut and has been the crush of 90% of everyone he’s ever known at some point in their lives. His loser swag and burnt out genius charm gets mad bitches. Nobody can resist a sleep-deprived billionaire fashion disaster like Tim!

[alwaysboredsworld]

Also there is no way Tim “born for galas” Drake isn’t good at networking/ handling pr/ interacting with Gotham elite.

I bet that little shit loves galas for networking and gossiping.

No way Janet didn’t make sure that Tim was a competent heir, if nothing else.

something there’s a distinct lack of in batman fanfics, especially ‘brucie wayne’ centred ones is the networking he’d have to be doing on the daily to maintain that sorta reputation

like, we all know the man knows how to throw a gala but where are the brunches? the happy hour gossip session with his cover’s clique of the week? the golf club dinners he has to attend every third week of the month? what about visits to hospitals or schools or the soup kitchens for his philanthropy? come on now

you’re telling me he’s the most sought after celebrity in gotham city and beyond, an infamous playboy and supposed extroverted people person who can use long holidays that can last weeks at a time away in tropical islands supposedly partying it up as a plausible excuse to hide his injuries sometimes but when he’s in gotham he’s either at wayne enterprise meetings or tucked away at home alone? nah

i want to see bruce having to really utilise those meditation breathing skills he learned in the league while he’s having to sit upright in a chair with 4 broken ribs, a sprained wrist and a minor concussion in a painfully bright restaurant at 3pm on a wednesday having to listen to bethany-anne titter on about the latest gossip about her neighbours affair with the maid that’s basically an open secret by now like pls there’s so many different routes you can go with this depending on the genre,,, make bruce have to REALLY commit to that cover of his lmao

Wanted a younger sibling, became the youngest

Jason and Damien meet in the LoA headcanon

Damien: Mother, I wish for a sibling.

Talia: *sighs*

Talia: Habibi-

Damien: *unpacks the most powerful puppy eyes*

Damian: Mama…

Talia: …

Three weeks later

Damian: Mother, why is there a zombie in our chambers?

Talia: Oh, him? Jason is your new brother, but he is unwell so we have to take good care of him.

Damian: *Damien.exe stopped working*

Damian: But- He is no child.

Talia: *smug af*

Talia: Nah, I kidnapped him from your father.

[alwaysboredsworld]

Tim also the biggest body count between his brothers

[alwaysboredsworld]

My Roman Empire is the fact that men in their late 30s to 40’s date women in their 20’s and then proceed to bash her when she’s not ready to settle down.

Fear toxin as an inhibitions-wiper for emotionally-closed-off character angst and hurt/comfort is fun and all but. gang listen. I think. I think for Tim we’ve been going about it wrong. because I’ve seen Plenty of “Tim drake on fear toxin would be SO BRAVE and try SO HARD but eventually break down crying and need reassurance about his abandonment issues.” Very common take. It drew me, it was sweet, it was fun, but—listen.

Instead, what I wanna see is “Tim drake on fear toxin would go full-steam, 100%, unsettlingly analytical.” I wanna see him get neurotic as fucking hell. Consider. What if it wiped his filters, not by going “your family does not want/love you,” but with a broader “the feeling of general security and safety you’ve had is no longer a certainty. There’s danger here. Find it.”

Send him into survival/panic mode—And for Tim, make that look like the most stone-focused information control of his immediate environment that you can imagine. Like—! It might not even make a good fic! It might just be him going radio-silent for 24 hours, because he holed up in a safe house running 7 different programs on every piece of tech he owns. I just.

Please. Do you see it? The effects of fear toxin on Tim “I have contingencies for situations you couldn’t dream up on acid” Drake. Please.

Alfred starting the We Are Robin movement is actually the funniest thing this man encouraged Tim to be Robin, encouraged Damian to be Robin, helped his former employers son be a vigilante, and now Damian is dead and Bruce has amnesia and his child endangerment addiction is simply too strong he has nothing else to do he HAS to get more kids killed fighting as Gotham vigilantes. One Robin dies trying to stop a bomb that he led them to and Alfred just looks sadly at Jason's case and gets back to business funding and encouraging the rest. If this man doesn't encourage at least one child into an early grave every two years he starts to itch.

The worst thing about college is I can’t say, ‘my mum said no,’ anymore if I don’t wanna go out 😭😭

[alwaysboredsworld]

No you are right and you should say it

Why was my first thought Batman and the Joker-

[alwaysboredsworld]

So I just remembered why fanon Tim is terrible and canon Tim is fucking hillarious but god I can't stand him.

Bc fanon Tim is like: my parents abandoned me and Jason Todd is my hero AND ALSO DICK TRIED TO SEND ME TO ARKHAM

and canon Tim is: I'm a conspiracy theorist obsessed with Dick Grayson and everybody's against me and they don't get it (goes on a wild trip around the world bc Dick tried to get him to talk to therapist)
