Detail

The Resplendent Outfit: The outrageous, extravagant, sometimes humorous, and often exquisite outfits worn by the subjects of old portraits.

This dress looks maybe thirty years behind the times with the notched, and possibly cuffed, sleeves and matching neckline of her criss-cross bodice. From Grand Ladies.

Is that pattern made of velvet brocade? Gorgeous.

I like to imagine Marcille deals with her grief of outliving Falin (her wife) and Laois (her platonic soulmate) by looking for new friends that are just as weird/obsessive as the Touden siblings. Through this process of finding generations of weirdos she starts to notice genetic patterns and similarities to the point that she "discovers" autism. She names it Touden syndrome though.

2000’s Tim Drake was so insane. He went to like seven different schools in a year, he fell asleep on a rollercoaster, he made up a fake uncle, he attempted to clone his dead best friend 99 times, he had real beef with a ten year old, he was on the verge of becoming evil every other issue, one of his antagonists was a guy with a demon tube in his chest, he learned how to skateboard by practicing it for hours on end for a week, he somehow had a box set of Buffy despite that breaking universe and continuity rules. I’m afraid that modern Tim can never live up to just how unhinged he was.
