Spoilers for Underworld Saga, and Oathbringer
Listening to the new Saga for Epic the Musical and its got me thinking—
Okay for a little background context for ppl who havent read or listened to the Odyssey/Epic Odysseus is MC and over the course of his journey, he blames ppl (monsters, for thematic effect)for doing horrible things, although they were protecting themselves and their family. And at the end of the newest saga, he realizes this, and goes “what if im the monster” in reference to all the horrible shit HE’S done, and THEN, he goes “yea i have to be the monster” to get him and his men home, mainly Him so he can see his wife and son again.
(“If I became the monster to everyone but us / And made sure we got home again / Who would care if we're unjust?”)
Getting TO THE POINT, I want Adolin to have an Odysseus level character development. I want him to stop worrying about what Dalinar thinks is right, what the Knight Radiants think is right, etc. and realize that just because you’re ACTING honorable and having good morals, doesn’t mean that the world will cater to that and sometimes you HAVE to do bad shit to get to your goals
Although i DESPISE all three of them, Sadeas, Gavilar, and Amaram understood this. Those three died because they meddled in shit they weren’t supposed to, (Gavilar w the.. all of it, Amaram w the sons of Honor, Sadeas with insulting Dalinar in front of Adolin) like if those three ppl had had foresight and aligned themselves properly, they would still be alive.
And rlly the only reason Dalinar remembers the Rift is bc he killed his wife. I would bet some money that if his wife didn’t die there, he would just file it away under “horrible shit i did during the war” and never gone to the Valley, etc.
I want Adolin to be a more morally grey character, mostly bc the main characters of the story rn, not including Shallan, are like “holier than thou” type shit. Also it would totally be a good breakaway from Adolin’s adolescence into his true adulthood where he is not just Dalinar’s Son.

Jason Todd being Tim's Robin in fanon stems from trying to make sense of the wacky timeline bullshit created by the writers doing their best to entirely erase Jason Todd. It's why Dick is Tim's favorite Robin. Dick was Robin from when Tim was 4-10, the longer amount of time, so he still could have been Tim's favorite Robin regardless, but it's also. The writers really really hated that little boy.

Tim and Kon the type of boyfriends to respond to declarations of love by saying " cringe" like ratio.
For ex.
Tim being overcome with sappy feelings™ for his boyfriend looks up at Kon like " hey, I love you"
Kon looks at him and lifts an eye brow and says " cringe"
But he's also holding Tim's hand so.
This exchange also works the other way!
Ex.2
Kon being over come with a warm fuzzy emotion after seeing Tim round house kick a baddie to the ground is like. " Damn I love you!"
And Tim sweaty in his robin gear glares at him from behind his domino and says " Cringe"
They take turns being the emotional one and the chronically unable to show affection one. It's balance! It's Gen Z! It's two local rat dudes macking on each other!
