if you told me there was a mcu movie featuring a cats the musical song, two alien species of the queerest looking people ever, including one that can only communicate through song and dance, mentions of fanfiction, three female superhero leads, only one of whom is white (and she has multiple romantic coded interactions with other women), found family, and iman vellani living her best life?? i absolutely would not believe you. anyway everyone should go see the marvels.
Tims “main event” timeline is actually so wild bc he became Robin through bc of his hyper-fixation when he was 14. His mom died, his dad almost died. Jack Drake went into a coma. He trained for 6 months in Paris. Something about lady shiva? He runs away from home once a week. Something, something Darla, he runs away from home again. He’s in boarding school. His roommate has a drinking problem. His dad has been dating his physical therapist. married his physical therapist. lost the family fortune forcing Tim to drop out of boarding school and move into an apartment downtown and go to public school. He meets Bernard. His dad learns he’s Robin. Tim quits being Robin. Stephanie becomes Robin for a bit? Tim goes back to being Robin. His dad is murdered by captain boomerang. Stephanie died? Jason comes back to life? There’s a school shooting and his public school is closed. He goes to a different high school. Bruce tried to adopt him and he invents a fake uncle. Stephanie is alive. Jason playfully tries to kill him/commit acts of psychological warfare? Damian shows up. He’s no longer Robin. Bruce goes missing in time/dead? Jason tried to kill him again? Red Robin era. He dropped out of high school. Bruce is alive, Tim was right. Oh Tim just realized he’s bisexual and he has to save his crush from the pain cult. They’re boyfriends now. He lives on a boat. He’s 18/19
All the while he was in teen titans and young justice. His best friend died. He did cloning experiments? He watched Santa die?? He traveled the multiverse several times? Stephanie was pregnant at some point? He dated so many girls? His future self is evil and loves to psychologically torment his present day self? He’s gunbatman?????? He was trapped in a 3x3 cell for months and everyone assumed he died and moved on??? His boyfriend is in a cult???
When did you have the time Tim? When?
I know this timeline isn’t 100% accurate but it is the history of at least 3 comic runs told from memory
Some traditional art I did while in Texas to see the solar eclipse :D
First impression of the eclipse left me shell-shocked, speechless and a bit convoluted. I was in awe that I was able to see it, I've been waiting for years for this moment. But at the same time, I was scared by just how small I really felt in this vast moment, mesmerized by the sight of seeing it with my own eyes (IT'S NOT THE SAME AS PICTURES), and sad that I wouldn't be able to see this event again for a very long time. Those 4 minutes and 24 seconds of totality felt like they were so fast, and yet so slow. Words can't describe the feeling of seeing it. I will be making more illustrations cause holy fuck I’m still reeling from it.

i still think about the fact that chetney was The Perfect version of a class fake out that could be done. everything about him, both how he was played and just how he was built as a character, Did make sense for a rogue(albeit a bit unconventional since he's strength based) to the point that there was nothing super suspicious about him but there was still enough signs that could be picked up on narratively and mechanically(his ac being a bit high based on rogue proficiencies, advantage on perception checks, and seemingly having a conditional advantage on history checks being the examples i noticed at the time) that it didn't feel like it was completely out of nowhere. absolutely iconic.
As I shuffle in shyly I would also like to throw a coin in the well for this series....baby trapping Gaz. Only it's Reader that tries to baby trap him, wanting this sweet, gentleman of a man to turn into a daddy and tries to do it secretly and subtly. But we all gloss over that Gaz learns from Price, has the same brand of feral in his veins that he hides under all that good, and you aren't as subtle as you think you are but it feeds his monster all the same to play the game. Okay, thank you for letting me share my thots, I'm gonna go scream into my pillow now.
ohhhh, yes!! one of my favourite manipulation tropes is when someone discovers a plan/intentions almost immediately but lets the other person continue on, influencing them from the sidelines. it's truly impeccable. i don't know if i'd be able to pull it off fully since this involves a lot of distance to work and i tent to get too introspective/omnipotent for surprising twists, but i really like the idea of Gaz pulling strings behind the scenes. i think this angle works perfectly with a lot of the ideas i have of Gaz.
also. the parallels between him and Price could be super fun to explore especially since Price was sort of bested at his own game. much to think about!!
