The idea of the Batkids doing normal people things while suited up is hilarious to me, you know, like Red Robin and Spoiler making the 9 o'clock news while racing through a grocery store because they totally forgot to get the things Alfred asked them to bring for the family dinner. Or Damian and Dick swinging into the Bludhaven Zoo mid-patrol because Dami really wanted to see the new baby tiger. Red Hood buying lemonade from a kid's stand and then standing there awkwardly messing with his helmet, trying not to hurt the kid's feelings. Black Bat, on a particularly tiring day randomly appeared in the nosebleeds of the ballet hall and started sniping phones out of people's hands. Or Signal and a deeply irritated Batman changing out a blown-out tyre in some back alley, earning amused looks.

So we know how Bruce was very fatherly and affectionate with dick and Jason but tended to be cold and even abusive with Tim? We all kind of assume it’s because he’s grieving Jason’s death, but what if it’s because he has guilt over being attracted to Tim, and that’s him trying to overcompensate— kind of taking it out on Tim for eliciting these feelings in him.

So there’s a sort of evil-ray, red kryptonite sort of situation that is supposed to turn Bruce evil, right? Well he undergoes it, and comes out completely the same except he’s suddenly more affectionate and gentle with Tim, by a MASSIVE margin

Cue bad implications etc etc

YES!!! YES YES YES EYS YES!!!!!!!!!!

tim knows he didn't come into bruce's life at a good time, so does dick, alfred, other heroes, and later jason and damian. like they all kind of unconciously note how bruce has a harsher tone when talking to tim, they register how he has a shorter temper with tim, expects so much more from tim than they ever did out of the other robins.

when damian comes along it just gets confirmed because damian doesn't get assigned the impossible tasks, long cases, and difficult tasks that tim does. damian doesn't run honey pots for pedophiles, doesn't stand on the street corners to lure out the murders targeting teen hookers. he doesn't run patrol by himself ever. he doesn't have to care for bruce who's drunk and blasted out of his mind and who keeps critisizing tim for every last thing.

but tim never stops striving to meet bruce's expectations. not when he knew he was the only thing between bruce and a shallow dirt grave.

tim knows that alfred scolds bruce for his treatment when he sees it. knows that dick gets ticked off and bruce for it and when jason returns to the fold even he asks bruce what the fuck his problem is. tim appreciates it. he does. but he's gotten used to it.

sometimes bruce will lighten up. he'll go awhile without being so heavy-handed and harsh with tim but then something will happen and bruce will go right back to how he was before.

cold. tense. pushing tim away and keeping him at an arm's distance.

tim knows he can't force bruce to love him like he does his brothers. so he takes what he can. accepts the treatment as it is.

which means he instantly knows something is off when clark carries bruce back to the manor after a hard fight in metropolis.

clark is saying something about bruce having been hit by a ray of some kind but tim's not listening. he's too focused on the feeling of bruce's eyes on him.

they're....heavier than usual.

tim knows that bruce's eyes and stare linger on him. it always makes him so tense because he feels like bruce is just waiting for him to make a mistake.

but this is different.

everyone else seems to see it too.

tim feels the eyes of others on him as bruce speaks softly to him, and handles him gently and softly. he doesn't raise his voice at tim when something doesn't get done. he doesn't leap to blame tim or something he didn't do. doesn't pile cases on him that keep him out of the manor most days.

its...jarring.

being treated like he's seen his brothers be treated for years but...it's still not quite right.

bruce's hands don't linger on his brother's like they do on tim. bruce doesn't say his brothers are beautiful and don't compliment them on how nice they look. he doesn't grab dick, jason, or damian by their waist and keep them still, tug them close to him.

bruce is...touchy with tim.

before bruce would recoil from tim, avoid touching him aside from when they sparred where the only time bruce would let them touch it would be to throw him down on the mats.

clark says that the ray was some kind of modified red kryptonite ray that was stolen from one of luthor's testing facilities.

ordinarily, red kryptonite would have no impact on normal humans or even metas and other aliens. but some amateur hour wannabe mad scientist decided to fiddle with the amplification and crystal stability.

bruce had been the only one hit. whatever had been done to the kryptonite had had no effect on clark who quickly destroyed it.

bruce hadn't behaved any differently to anyone.

it was only when tim came along that the stark contrast in his behavior came to light.

but even then his behavior didn't align with the known effects of red kryptonite. most notably aggression and 'unstable' behavior.

clark and kon both became condescending, hyper-sexual, violent, and quick to anger when under red kryptonite's effects.

that's not what became of bruce. his behavior didn't shift for anyone but tim and while people were concerned and the justice league was now working to rebuild the ray to help fix bruce there was also a notable...lack of urgency to do so.

nobody had liked how bruce treated tim.

people shifted awkwardly when they ended up witnessing how bruce would yell at tim with such a quiet annoyance and anger.

tim did like that bruce was being nicer to him. did like how bruce hugged him, he even liked the soft kisses pressed to tim's hairline when no one was around.

tim did like it, even though something odd shifted in his gut when bruce would tug him in close. he wasn't sure why he felt odd about it. it was just an odd twingeing in the back of his skull. a weird little alarm that told him his senses and body picked up on something his mind didn't.

tim doesn't know what it is. he's not sure what it is that just can't allow him to accepts bruce's new attitude.

it's not until tim is up late one night and reading through all the information bruce has accumulated on red kryptonite that his confusion starts blooming into understanding.

it's information and files are located separately from the ones held by the justice league.

bruce's analysis of dark kryptonite is highly scientific. he includes the chemical formula, composition, cleavage, color, density, and fracture.

what's of most interest to tim is bruce's description of it's effect.

clark had broadly defined red kryptonite to be something that made someone behave uncharacteristically and while tim observed that to be true bruce said something slightly different.

red kryptonite made someone behave oddly because it allowed for them to embrace their dark desires. it was like alcohol or drugs given the hung over feeling it left superman with.

it was a removal of inhibitions.

and tim...tim thought of how bruce touched him sometimes when he pulled away. how hands on his waist drifted down and briefly caressed his ass. hands on his neck stroked down and groped his chest. bruce's fingers and how they'd press to tim's lips, his mouth.

he thinks of how bruce kept him at a distance, was rarely ever alone with him. how when they traveled he got them separate rooms even though he remembered dick complaining to him about how horribly bruce would snore and never let dick have his own room so he could keep an eye on him.

it never actually occured to tim...that maybe there may have been a reason bruce acted like that with him beyond just mourning.

tim tried to imagine it. tried to imagine the pain bruce might've felt after jason's death and his arrival. he imagined how it felt to have something so young, so small, so....attractive.

bruce would've hated himself for what he felt. he would've hated tim for what he felt. resented him for the feelings that arose in him while he was still mourning his child.

he punished tim for tempting him, for being something everyone else around him insisted he keep around when it was so clearly an issue for him.

tim didn't know what to describe the feeling that filled him.

dread. pain. rejection.

most of all. hurt.

that tim hadn't been treated with that tender kindness his brothers had all because bruce felt something about him. it hurt.

tim sends his findings to dick and retreats to his room quietly.

in the morning the breakfast table is silent. dick is staring down at his plate with only occasional glances up at bruce.

tim sees him cringe when bruce urges tim to eat his breakfast, that they've got a big day ahead of them.

bruce's hands lands on tim's thigh, his palm squeezes the flesh, fingers massaging slightly and tim...

like when bruce would frown at him or speak shortly. like when bruce would wait for tim to push himself up from where he'd been thrown down on the mats. like when bruce would harshly berate tim for deviating from orders.

like all those times.

nobody says anything. and tim lets it happen.

Piracy 101 for beginners

Hello friends, it is I, your favourite anti-capitalist. After a lot of interest from people looking to get into piracy, I have compiled a guide for anyone who wants to become a pirate but doesn't know where to start. This is a long post, so I'm gonna put a cut here, but if you want to find out, keep reading!

This information is all up to date as of September 2023.

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: all of this stuff is from my personal experience with torrenting, but please use your own common sense - piracy is a crime in many parts of the world, please stay safe and be careful.

Always remember that PIRACY IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Okay, boring stuff over - let's get started! I'm going to try and be as comprehensive as I can and there is an FAQ section at the end, but do feel free to send me an ask if you want something clarified!

Before you begin

Before stepping foot on your pirate ship, there are a few safety things you need to know about. These are essential because they'll keep you and your computer safe when pirating.

VPN. This is the single most important thing that you need. Basically, when you connect to the internet, your device is given a fancy little number by your WiFi network that basically shows your location - this is called an IP address. Now, if you're doing something a Little Bit Dodgy, you don't want people to know where you are and which network you're connected to. This is where a VPN comes in. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and what it does is basically makes a private little bubble by encrypting your connection and routing it through a different server in a different country, hiding your IP address and keeping you safe (overly simplified but that's more or less it). Basically, your IP address will say you're in Japan when you're actually in England. Deception! There are a lot of VPNs on the market, and a lot of them are paid, but if you're broke like me, Proton VPN is completely free, has really fast servers, and it's super secure!

A good adblocker. A lot of sites are full of pop-ups, trackers and spammy viruses, so an adblocker is a must. If you're on Firefox or Chrome, uBlock Origin is an amazing free extension that does the job. For Safari, I recommend AdGuard (or, y'know, switching to Firefox).

Okay, so you're all VPN'd up, connected and adblocked. What next?

From my personal experiences, there are two main types of piracy: online piracy and torrenting. Also, please note that usually, I pirate films, so I'm not the most knowleadgable about software/music piracy, but I'll try to be all-encompassing.

Online Piracy

Online piracy is kind of like Piracy Lite. I'm calling it online piracy because it's using the regular internet (clearnet) to access sites which provide films/books/files over the Internet. This kind of piracy is usually more accessible, and there's a strong chance you've already partaken in it!

Online piracy for films

You're probably familiar with sites like hdtoday.tv for watching free movies - they're something of an open secret. The way sites like this work is that the actual video files are stored on external servers - that is, they're not on your computer, they're on some server somewhere else. The website is basically just a viewer that allows the video files to be relayed over the internet to be watched on your laptop. Online piracy is more about access than owning.

Pros

Really accessible. You don't need any other applications or anything fancy - just open the site and watch!

Online piracy streaming sites are not actually illegal. Yep, you heard that right. There's a lovely loophole in the law that defines piracy as the downloading and distributing of copyrighted content. Because on piracy streaming sites, you are simply viewing the media, and not downloading it or sharing it, and also because the sites are readily accessible, you have plausible deniability and are not breaking any laws!

Instant relay. Instead of waiting for a download, online piracy allows you to start watching immediately.

Relatively high quality files. Usually, the videos are pretty good quality (expect about 720p) and there aren't any weird unremovable Mongolian pop-ups.

Subtitles. Online streaming sites are usually really good with a large selection of subtitles in different languages.

What you see is what you get. You don't have to wait for a download only to find it was corrupted - usually, defective files are spotted and replaced pretty quickly and if they're not, they usually have multiple servers that you can switch to.

Lightweight. These sites don't usually use too much bandwidth, and as long as you have a decent internet connection, you should be good.

Cons

Buffering. This is probably the single most annoying thing about these sites - if your internet connection dips, the video will buffer. You don't need to worry about this if you have fiber-optic super-speed connection of whatever, but it makes watching things pretty infuriating sometimes.

Loading issues. See above - it's prettty annoying to try to skip to a certain point in a film or scrub back, because the file sometimes just won't load.

Pop-ups. Usually, an adblocker will take care of these, but these sites can be buggy and full of re-directs/ads/hot singles in your area.

Quality. 720p files are fine if you're watching a film on a laptop, but if you want to have a movie night on a big screen or a projector, it's going to be a little underwhelming.

Annoying mirror sites. Because of the dubious legality of the sites, oftentimes the same site will have lots of mirrors (remember, the site itself is only a skeleton viewer to play the files, so the sites don't vary much one to another). Oftentimes, certain mirrors wil be added and deleted meaning you might have to hop around different sites, which is annoying.

Torrenting

Torrenting is probably what you think of when you think of piracy - file-sharing and strange documents and downloading things. I know this all sounds scary, but it really isn't! Torrenting is simply another way of file sharing - instead of downloading from a single source, torrenting is using an internet protocol called BitTorrent that basically allows multiple users to share little pieces of a file with each other, which allows really large files such as film files to be transferred efficiently.

Torrenting is a bit more complicated, so here's your crash course if you want to get into it.

VERY IMPORTANT: Turn on your VPN. This keeps your identity private because torrenting, unlike online streaming, is very much Frowned Upon. Most VPNs have a kill switch, which means that if the VPN connection dips, you'll be disconnected from the Internet temporarily so your address isn't leaked - I'd recommend turning this on.

To use the BitTorret protocol, you need to get an application that can run it - this is called a torrent client. I'd recommend Vuze, but there are lots to choose from and they all do essentially the same thing - plus, they're all free!

Then, you're going to want to find a torrent site. The most popular one is obviously the Pirate Bay. Look for whatever file you want.

You'll often be met with lots of different copies of the file you want, which can be confusing, so here's how you choose the right one.

Let's say I want to watch The Empire Strikes Back.

Wow, that's a lot of files. How do I choose? Well, if you look at the right of the table, you'll see a column that says SE. This stands for seeds - this refers to the number of computers ready to upload pieces of the file to you. A high number of seeds means that there are more people to give bits of the file to you, so it'll download faster. So if it's May the 4th and you're determined to watch Empire, you should go with the top file with 216 seeds. High-quality files are labelled as such, so just find the type you need and pick the one with the most seeds.

Once you click on the file, you'll be redirected to a magnet link. This is basically just a link that tells your torrent client to start getting the file, and the link should open the application automatically.

That's it! Your file should start loading in the torrent client. Once it's done, most torrent clients will create a folder in your hard drive where you can find your downloaded files and some even let you watch within the application. Congratulations - you've earned your pirate hat.

Pros

That file is yours forever. That's right - once it's on your hardrive, no-one can take it from you, ever.

No buffering! Because the file is downloaded locally, there's no lagging, pausing, buffering, skipping or glitching - just press play!

High-quality files. You can pirate in 720p, 1080p, even 4k, meaning that if you have a 4k projector or home cinema, you don't need to sacrifice quality.

Not reliant on internet - you can download movies for planes, take them to the top of Mount Everest, whatever.

Easy viewing experience. No ads, no pop-ups, no browsers, sites, glitches, lags, anything. All you need is some kind of media player and you're set.

Cons

Downloads could take time. If your WiFi is slow, then torrents can take a really long time to download, which is annoying. If you have good WiFi and a lot of seeds, it shouldn't be bad, but it's nowhere near instant.

Corrupted/broken files. There is a chance you will download a file and it'll have yellow ads for an Indian scooter company all over it.

Can't view the file in advance - see the above, you don't know if it's the right one or not until you have it.

Higher risk of something going wrong. Given the higher number of moving parts in torrenting, there are far more things that can go wrong, like broken magnet links or corrupted files.

Frequently asked questions

I'm worried about viruses/malware/etc.

This is probably the number one thing that's asked when it comes to piracy (particularly torrenting). To answer this, it's worth noting how viruses and spyware works. A virus is an executable file - i.e. it's a bit of code - that, once downloaded, messes up your computer in various ways. Basically, it's a file that makes your computer do something. Video files like mp4s are... well, very much not that. Video files are just files containing information that your computer displays, and no programs or files to run. That means that if you download an mp4 file, you cannot get a virus from it because it's just technically not possible. However, it's worth noting that if you're ever expecting a video file from a torrent and get something ending in .exe or similar instead, then don't open it - always make sure you know what you're expecting so you know if there's a possibility of a virus. On the other hand, this is very much a higher risk when pirating things like software or video games, that do contain executable files, so be careful. I'm not the most experienced in that arena, but if you're just sticking to films, you don't have anything to worry about.

Oh no, my VPN disconnected whilst I was torrenting! Are people going to come to my house and arrest me?

If your IP address is accidentally revealed for two or three seconds whilst you're connecting to the internet, don't panic, because nothing will happen to you. As long as your IP address is hidden most of the time, a two-second blip isn't going to matter. This isn't to say don't use a VPN - please, always use a VPN whilst torrenting - but no one's going to come to your house if you accidentally turn your VPN off for a moment. Put it this way - the Internet is really big, and the anti-piracy people don't have the time or the need to monitor every single person, so as long as you don't do anything attention-arising, just re-connect as quickly as you can and keep going about your day. That said - the longer you stay disconnected, the higher you are at risk, so just be careful.

Where should I store my downloaded files? They're really big and taking up space.

A 1080p movie file can easily be up to 5GB, and 4K movies can up to 100GB. These can fill up space real quick, so I would suggest investing in a solid state external hard drive. They've become very inexpensive and you can get a very large amount of storage in a small, portable drive that you can keep safe and full of your files. I have a 2TB drive that I use for my film work that does just fine with storing my torrented files.

What happens if I get caught?

The big, scary question, and I'm not gonna lie, I don't have a definitive answer. The first thing is that this will obviously vary depending on where you live, but still, I think that piracy often has a lot of over-blown paranoia about it. Copyright infringement lawsuits and the like are often reserved for really major offendors - think large-scale businesses and corporations. I highly doubt that you, as an individual consumer, would be a high priority on the prosecution list. I'm going to say that probably the worst thing that you'll get hit with is some sort of fine, but you won't be sent to jail or anything unless you decide to hack the CIA or something. This is why VPNs are so important - they'll ensure that you won't have to worry about this.

Concluding notes & more resources

Thank you for making it this far! I hope you found this guide helpful and that you have fun sailing the high seas. Once again, if you have any questions, my askbox is always open. Piracy and torrenting is, at its core, about community and sharing, and there's a great group of people online to connect with. The Reddit r/piracy subreddit also has a really good megathread of more resources, and the best way to learn more is honestly learn from others.

Happy pirating!

This is definitely not a google drive full of the sleep stuff from the Headspace app, including sleepcasts, music, and wind down meditation, that normally costs 17.99 a month, no siree and you definitely shouldnt share this with people

eddie borrowing steves clothes is very cute but also I keep imagining him first openning steves closet and immediately realising that steve has a lot of the same tops but in different colors. he'd thought he'd just been remembering wrong, but no. that navy top with the white stripe we all love from s4? he also has it in green, yellow and purple.

there's not a single daddy-son pair out there that love each other more than bruce and tim

[sputniks-taboo-thoughts]

There was an arc, where Tim fought to destroy an Evil VR Hivemind Internet type world? And that's got me thinkin~! So brace for another longish one! If the technology is POSSIBLE?

Why not a dumbed down, safeties in place, VR world?

Some tech genius manages to create it, it actually works, takes the world by storm. Is markted as the True Do Anything Game. And obviously, it's an intelligence agency's and superheroes worst nightmare. Crooks are meeting up through the game to make deals. The creator is scrambling to keep up and put safeties in place to stop them.

Obviously, Tim has to catch them, right?

But he can't look like Tim Drake! Luckily you can customize whenever you want. And he chose an intentionally vague username. But... it's? Nice. Being anonymous. Not being stuck under layers of disguise. Playing flashy games and dancing on unrealistic dance floors.

He catches his targets, considers logging out.

But to what? Cold take out and trash TV? This is the closest to a night "out" he's had in a while. His body is even getting rested! Laying still and (mostly) relaxed on his bed. So... fuck it. He's gonna be young and hot for once. Make friends he'll never see again, come tomorrow.

And THATS when? One of his glittery new twink friends? Leans over and tells him, like it's a dirty lil secret, the BEST part of this new "game"! No consequences hook ups. No really bodies, means no disease! No real faces or names? Means go nuts! Cut loose! Destress a bit and go wild!

And... Tim DOES have a lot of stress...

So he searchs around the various party spots, for someone that looks like he can lift Tim one handed, bend him in half, then destroy him. Because you can accuse him of many things, but being interested in the safe and boring option is not one of them.

"Burns_Malone".

A transparent nod to Matches, Bruce's criminal alias. Tim would laugh at the guy if his muscles weren't glorious. Clearly a goon fan boy. But! A HOT goon fan boy. So Tim decides to try his luck.

His luck is fantastic.

One unfairly hot make out session and some holoscreen clicks later, they are in a private "hangout" room. The kind someone so very kindly stuffed a bed into. Nice. And then? It occurs to Tim? "Oh HEY, not my real body... means no incriminating marks or patrol stopping bruises, tomorrow! I really CAN cut loose!"

So he demands that Malone REALLY puts his back into it. Bend him in half and make a Gotham man see God. Feels Malone go DANGEROUSLY, delightfully still beneath him, as he purrs his gleefully bratty demands right into his ear. Those strong hands tightening on his hips. He's gonna get put RIGHT were Malone wants him~

And he does.

Held open, pinned down. Dragged into just the right position to rock his world. Feeling gloriously split apart in away he'd never let himself have normally. Because he wouldn't be able to WALK afterwards. Claiming, brutal hands. Hot and perfect against his skin, making him feel so WANTED and desired. Getting dragged down to meet each powerful thrust, feeling that thick rod DRAG against and reshape EVERYTHING.

By the time he logs out, his pants are a sodden mess.

He's definitely hooked.

(And, unbeknownst to him, so is Bruce.)

He goes back, during his down times, to "destress".

Meets an acrobat at a virtual circus. They keep their masks on, seem so familiar. The guy's a fan of the Flying Graysons, Tim gets bent over dressing bench, surround by sequins and silks, beneath the eternal grin of his brother. It shouldn't be as hot as it is. He's lifted and balanced with such EASE. Treated like a sweet little treasure, even as his body is pounded and teased mercilessly.

(Dick is enchanted. In love. HAS to find the man he... "met" at the circus.)

Then there's the man at The Library. It's hailed as the largest of the modern age. Sue Tim, he got curious. They literally run into each other, rounding a corner. They talk books. Talk Gotham. Shit talk the mayor. Tim is seduced by cheesy pickup lines. Totally laughs at him, when his "Hangout" room of default is "Night in The Library". Neeeerd~!

His laughter gets kissed of his face. And yeah, he can admit, it's pretty intimate here. Soothing. Makes every noise he makes seem so LOUD. Which of course immediately becomes a problem when Nerdy Pants decides to reveal his Savant Level oral.

Propped up in an over stuffed chair, legs over Library Guy's shoulders, with nothing but the crackle of the fireplace and the sound Tim's choking on, trying not to make? He's loosing his MIND. Melting. Library Guy's fingers deep inside him, rubbing and fucking against just the right spots. His mouth relentless and hungry on Tim's poor clit. It's over embarrassingly fast.

But it keeps GOING.

He just trails claiming little kisses, with the barest hint of teeth, up and up. Consumes Tim's mouth. Fingers come free. And then he's replaced them with something bigger. Bent Tim in half. Doesn't let up.

Leaving Tim pinned. Barely able to breathe. Getting filled again and again, lazy at first but faster and harder as time passes. Nothing but pressure and pleasure and TAKING IT. Feeling claimed. The center of the world. Of his focus. He hasn't ONCE stopped talking. Praising. Tim is so good, taking it so well. Being so good for him.

(It feels like falling in love. Coming home. Jason goes a little bit insane. HAS to find the guy. You don't understand-!)

And really? Tim's hook up streak has been flawless, he thinks. Decides to check out some gaming areas. Maybe do a little Role Play. And? Most bore him. But one game seems fun. He picks staff fighter, for obvious reasons. Stumbles upon a... frankly absurd Beast Master. Dude has a ZOO.

Isn't even fighting. Well, he IS. But... HE fights. The animals wait. Then he goes back to trying to tame the horned bunny rabits.

Obviously Tim has to meet this guy. That's kinda hilarious.

Together, they hunt down the Rare And Elusive Tricorn(tm). Thing is massive and brutal looking. Beast Master dude clearly adores it. Treats it like a baby. But, in order to catch the next creature on his list? They have to wait for the night cycle. Unfortunately, Tim did not know "camp kits" were a thing. So... no, dude. He DOESN'T have a bed roll to wait out here and heal up.

It's either hike back to town or share yours.

Tim offers to be the little spoon, if that helps. Apparently it does. He gets all of 15 minutes of lite napping before he feels a not so little friend come to say hello. Oh~? Beast blusters. It means nothing! Tim's pants are just very form fitting! Desperate, red faced excuses!

And now? Well now Tim's GOTTA.

A hand on his chest, run teasingly dooooown to his belt. Is that SO, Beast Master? Mmmhm? The man chokes on his words. Watches, wide eyed, as Tim leans down ever so slowly, a licks a strip up his length. Swallows him to the root. He makes the most delightfully desperate, needy, sound. Hands spasming at his side, clearly having no idea what to do with them.

By the time Tim is straddling him, slowly lowering himself down onto that thick cock, he's figured it out. Hands trying to drag his hips down faster. Roving over his skin to touch and claim. Tim let's the man flip them. Looming, panting and wild eyed, over him. Shaking like he's overwhelmed, his hands a vice around Tim's hips, bent over like he's moments from crumbling.

The snap of his hips is DESPERATE. Like if he doesn't fuck as deep as he can RIGHT NOW, he'll die. Folding forward to rest his head on Tim's shoulder, panting against his skin, fucking like he's trying to break him. It's so clumsy. Virginal and inexperienced. Completely missing his best spots half the time, focused on chasing his own pleasure.

Tim is the one who has to tease his body. To play with his clit. But... but the way he's so DESPERATE for him? Whining. Nearly sobbing for air? Hips jerking and stuttering? It's good. So, so good. Beast fills him over and over. Clings to him. He logs out wishing he could take that stuffed feeling with him.

(Damian has become a man. But is equal parts frantic and furious with the realization that he can't Take Responsibility for his actions. Where THE FUCK is his Lover?! He needs to FIND THEM! Aaaaaaa-!)

Things are going great! Tim continues to hook up. Unknowingly, with Capes. Because frankly? He has A Type. It leaves horny, horny chaos in its wake. Until! For, you know, No Reason in Particular *cough* Batman FINALLY manages to break in to the HQ of the VR game's offices, get to their mainframe, and download the FULL user base archive.

For Justice reasons, obviously.

To Catch Criminals, of course.

DEFINITELY not to look up one specific user name and trace it back to its user's location, cross reference street addresses, and start working through apartment numbers searching for a VR device. That would be WRONG and they'd never do that.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

This is definitely not a google drive full of the sleep stuff from the Headspace app, including sleepcasts, music, and wind down meditation, that normally costs 17.99 a month, no siree and you definitely shouldnt share this with people

I know everyone agrees that Lacy by Olivia Rodrigo is definitely a Robin song, BUT, hear me out

Barb and Nancy.

I don't care which one is Lacy, maybe they both are, but i think it's an interesting headcanon
