⚠️Forgive me for being behind considering recent events, but what the fuck happened and why is Scoundrel in a hospital?

If Tim does have an alternate personality programmed into him, we know its trigger phrase can't be Zur-En-Arrh because he's heard or said that phrase like half-a-dozen times since Zdarsky's run started and hasn't been activated yet.

Zur-En-Arrh is Bruce's trigger phrase because it's drawn from his 8-year-old self mishearing or misremembering his father's last words, "...the sad thing is, they'd probably throw someone like Zorro in Arkham." (This is an obvious stretch -- the real reason is because he's named for and based on a one-off alien character from the Silver Age, "Tlano, the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh," but it does play interestingly with the way Zdarsky's been portraying ZEA as a unstable, entirely masked personality that Bruce 'locks away' inside of him because his 'purity' is too extreme -- his very own metaphorical "Zorro in Arkham.")

So it's possible that Tim's trigger is drawn from something similar, particularly because we know he's the only Robin who for sure heard his own father's last words -- Dick's parents were a distance away from him when they fell, and Jason's dad died well out of his sight, but Tim hearing Jack's last moments over the phone and not being able to do anything to stop it is a pretty big part of his trauma.

So maybe Tim's trigger phrase is similar mix of sounds drawn from Jack's last words to him -- "What you do is worth it. Tell Bruce to take care of you." (Ka-Uf-Oo?)

Or maybe, since Zur-En-Arrh presumably did the conditioning, they drew the trigger phrase from his mythos instead and it's something like "Tlano" or "Bat-Radia."

And that also raises the question of, what would a "Zur-En-Arrh" Robin even be? Zur-En-Arrh is repeatedly described as "Batman without Bruce," which would presumably make his equivalent "Robin without Tim." But like... what does that mean?

I don't have any answers to that question, just a whole bunch of pieces that might be clues but I have no idea what they're adding up to. It's just very interesting to think about and I want to see where they're going with this.

Name: Echolalia

Pronouns: all pronouns

Designation: Virus

Occupation: Neutralized Bioweapon, previously courier

Height: 5'5

Build: thin

Hair: black

Eye color: black sclera with green glowing irises

Light line color: green, mostly

Backstory:

Note: if you would rather find out Echo's backstory in RP, this has major oc spoilers!

Echo was once an ISO that sent messages from the important Basics to the important ISOs to try to ease tensions before Radia was to be announced co-administrator. They made friends of ISOs and Basics alike, before Clu had a plan...

Clu planned to make a virus to eliminate the ISOs, and if not eliminate, then to make them more of a threat so Flynn would do something. So of course Clu needed a guinea pig before testing it on his real target. So he picked the courier, someone no one would truly miss. Echo was reported derezzed by lightcycle accident, but was truly dragged away to be experimented on.

Soon enough, Echo was forced into the roll of *weapon*. No longer able to speak, they were forced to record and play back voices of various programs. They were also constantly falling apart, always dropping their jaw - literally. Eventually, they escaped captivity as a feral beast, derezzing programs on the way. Barely escaping the Occupation into the Outlands.

After the coup, they were found by Flynn. He was able to stop them from spreading their virus, and was able to bring them back to a semi conscious state.

if you would be a wag would they have to play fir liverpool or a team you like

lol i was talking about this with radia like last week!!!! i’d obvs prefer if they played for liverpool innit, like practically everyone would prefer that their hypothetical footie player bf plays for the team they support. but it wouldn’t be a requirement personally 😭 i ain’t saying no to a bag and a hot man cah he plays for a diff team, how do i know he won’t go to liverpool during his career? plus a lot of footie players have been/are fans of other clubs while playing for rivals. though icl i there are certain clubs that are an absolute no no🤨

Hydra, Aries, and Saturn, from the questions meme for Hal and/or Clu!

From this meme:

Hydra: Favourite sound? 

Clu: Radia's singing. It always helps me when I feel alone or sad or upset. I just play one of the memories from her disc.

Hal: um......I don't really have one.

Aries: Favourite movie? 

Clu: No specific titles, but I like sci-fi. Especially anything about space. I also like space and space exploration documentaries. Have you seen the "Mars: Dead or Alive" episode of Nova on PBS?

Hal: (he's pretty much the same as Clu)

(They both also really like Found Family type stories)

Saturn: Any pets?

Clu: I don't have one, but I've always wanted a Bit. (Bits are a sort of animal on the Grid. There's one in the 1982 Tron movie that I think was supposed to fill the 'cute animal sidekick' spot that a lot of Disney movies have)

*in my AU with @alanbradleyofficial he actually has two pet Bits.

Hal: Sal (lovingly) calls my twin brothers our 'pet idiots'. Does that count?

Medusa to be continued …

ZÄRTLICH GEHT DIE WELT ZUGRUNDE: STILL LOOKING FOR MEDUSA – by NINA M. W. QUEIßNER & LINDA WEIß radia season 52 – show #1008 (radio x) – playing from July 22 to July 28, 2024

ZÄRTLICH GEHT DIE WELT ZUGRUNDE: STILL LOOKING FOR MEDUSA is a tribute to corals, the sensitive critters of Gaia’s underwater realms, showcasing their profound ability to forge symbiotic relationships. Corals, as holobionts for zooxanthellae, epitomize interdependence; as reefs, they offer shelter to many marine creatures; as strong formations, they modulate the ocean’s ebb and flow into gentler currents. As the ancient ancestors of Medusa, they hold the spirit of nature’s often misunderstood and transformative powers. Medusa herself, a female figure of Greek mythology, represents the recurring theme of metamorphosis and the complex dynamics of power and seduction, banished to safeguard the male gaze.

Through a rich saturation of marine bioacoustics, noise pollution, mythic tones, Nina M. W. Queißner and Linda Weiß beckon you to immerse yourself in the deep, dark blue soundscape. Here, lose your way, welcome the feeling of otherness, and give yourself to the waves of yearning, and acknowledge cold shivers. Picture Medusa, whose symbiosis sustains the life that thrives beneath the waves.

underwater sound recordings: Coral reefs (Red Sea, Egypt), shipping traffic on the Main River and the English Channel of the Alabaster Coast; additional sound recordings: Baking soda in water, hot oil, ice cubes, crystal glass and water, tadpoles, rain on polyamide, etc., synthesizer, melodica, Sansa.

ARCAM Radia A25 integrated amplifier REVIEW

https://www.stereophile.com/content/arcam-radia-a25-integrated-amplifier The original 1953 Columbia mono disc produced an exceptionally dense, life-like sound that intensified the effect of the Budapest String Quartet in delivering this soul-stirring performance. That old black disc is gone, but the hi-rez remastering (24/192 FLAC, Columbia/Qobuz), played through the Denafrips Terminator…
