tamsyn muir said here is my main character. she is 2 sauces tall and soggy and bleeding. she has not slept in 3 weeks and she gets scared when people smile at her. she is madly in love with a dead body. actually 2 dead bodies. a sigle sour patch xtreme would kill her instantly. you will think about her every day for the rest of your life.

Saw a post where someone wasn't sure if Tim being good at computers was a fanon thing or not and friend I am happy to inform you that he's been a computer/tech guy from some of his earliest appearances in the comics.
Detective Comics (Vol. 1) #620 (Rite of Passage part 4) - immersed in the ~web~
Robin II: The Joker's Wild #3 - tabletop roleplaying games and spending hours in the basement on the computer - not beating the geek allegations on these fronts, Timmy
Detective Comics (Vol. 1) #676 - Dick was more into traditional detective work and tended to outsource the computer stuff in these days
Batman (Vol. 1) #514 (Prodigal part 10) - hackin' through all the garbage and garble
Robin (1993) #33 - Robin sneaking in and connecting Oracle with the baddies' mainframe so she can do her thing and steal all their data >:)
Nightwing (1996) #6 - "no you're really talented and well suited to be Robin." "no, you." "no, YOU!"
Tim is definitely not as good as Babs/Oracle, but he's certainly her back-up for computer work in the 90's batfam. They're tech buddies and Robin!Tim is her little assistant sometimes, it's super cute:
Birds of Prey (1999) #19 - happy to play with big sister's fancy high-powered toys
Legends of the Dark Knight (1989) #125 - real cute kid
And Dick will hand off computer jobs to his little brother when he doesn't want to bother Babs 😂 (that outsourcing I mentioned):
Nightwing (1996) #68 - examine them pixel by pixel, eh? welp, sounds like a job only you can do, Timbo, you got this buddy, byyyyeeeee
And then when he'd grown up and been doing this for years, he leveled up accordingly, and did stuff like use his access to the League of Assassins computers to overload the generators in every base he could find, etc. etc.
Red Robin (2009) #8 - yeah that was pretty dumb of you Ra's :)
So yeah, it was a bit of a specialty of Tim's, in large part because he was introduced just at the turn into the 90's, when personal computers were really starting to take off and become widespread. (Robins gotta be cutting edge and all)
Of course, by no means does it follow that the other Bats suck at computers (there is no 'smart one' they are all incredibly smart and capable). This is especially true as reboots and the sliding timescale of comics have moved the DC characters into modern times, where computers run the world and everyone grows up with one in their pocket. The baseline familiarity and expertise that everyone can be expected to have is just much, much higher these days.
It gets exaggerated in fanon as all character traits do, but computer guy Tim is definitely not something just made up out of whole cloth :)b

I think what’s incredibly funny about the split on Dottore in the Genshin fandom is that both fans and haters agree on one thing, do not redeem him.
Dottore as a character is interesting because he can't be redeemed. I dont really have qualms with him being a quality of sympathetic because ultimately he is human and a villain can be unredeemable despite that. Dottore is a character who was ostracized despite trying so hard to fit in, and for pretty good reason when you look at his lore. He's lonely and feels abandoned by humanity and envies Wanderer because he was an inhuman entity who didn't have to hide who he was to be accepted, meanwhile Dottore was a human entity who did have to hide his more monsterous tendancies to be accepted. It's interesting because instead of devaluing his irredeemablility it actually supports it. He can't be redeemed because he recognizes what parts of him are percieved as wrong but not why they're wrong and while he's long since given up on being accepted by the village and committed to burning it to feel its warmth, he still envies Wanderer for having what he so desperately wants.
The way Dottore can be redeemed is if it's not Prime. His Segments are recreations of eras of his life he likes to keep around for efficiency and because they provide different perspectives on projects and issues. Dottore was not always the way he was and if he is ever to be "redeemed" it would be less Prime being redeemed and more so a younger Segment that can still be nutured to be a better person, to recognize the importance of ethics in science and why Prime's actions are wrong. It would be a fascinating look into nurture v. nature, are monsters created or born?
Dottore's character is too valuable to the narrative to be redeemed or ignored, he is either loved or hated with little lukewarm attention. He is incredibly well written and there's so much potential for his character.
