I ask in case you're willing to exchange emails or something in the quite likely case that tumblr continues to be incompetent. :)

They are hopefully going to fix my blog but I also think we might be friends on facebook which helps? You can always get me on messenger.

For practicality/purposes of the thought experiment gonna avoid electronics and choose to bring the following: 1) a sketchbook/notebook + drawing/writing supplies

2) my Haruhi Suzumiya novels (read the Baka-Tsuki translations back in the day but been meaning to refresh/finally check out the official English hardcopies)

3) plenty of food/water

ibmiller replied to your post: Dear friends, I am not against the more modern...

@freenarnian​ what we really need is Mansfield Park from a writer and director who actually like Fanny Price.

I have so far refused to watch ANY of the Mansfield Park adaptations for precisely that reason. JUSTICE FOR FANNY NOW.

ibmiller replied to your post: man i get why they moved shelob to the third movie...

Miniseries wouldn’t have made Faramir better, since that was inherent in their obsession with “Faramir must have more CONFLICT”

You’re probably right, but a lot of the Faramir nonsense in TT does also seem to have been contrived to give Frodo and Sam something else to do besides fighting a giant spider.

ibmiller replied to your post: I don’t wanna say half of the takes on Stephanie...

PREACH. I’m so, so tired of War Games being hurled at Steph and her fans.

I think I reached a point after the Game of Thrones finale where I just snap regarding maligned female characters and the bizarre things (one defining event... just one bad event out of hundreds of good actions) that people hold against them.  I can’t take it anymore goddammit.

@ibmiller -- it occurs to me that this is going to be my Birthday Gift from DC, since my Birthday is 18th May. As if I weren't ALREADY dreading it...

Bendis gave an off the cuff answer that didn't really provide my information. It's a confirmation that we're going to get some Stephanie and Tim content... but it still leaves me very anxious and nervous.

So far though, all the clues and the evidence suggests that either something genuinely bad has happened to Steph, or that she and Tim have broken up. And it's just... them breaking up doesn't add to HER story, it adds to HIS.

She's SURELY been through ENOUGH by now! Even in just New 52/Rebirth. From the top of my head:

1) Found out that both her Dad and her Mum were conspiring against her, and that her Dad was trying to kill her.

2) Had her mentor, Eiko Hagisawa, turn on her morals and murder a whole roof top of people just to prove a point?

3) Had her boyfriend die

4) Been emotionally manipulated by Anarky

5) Been emotionally manipulated by Batman

6) Had to leave her #NotDead Boyfriend because he was being self destructive and distancing himself from her

Now, I need to go through Detective Comics to get to the real truth of the matter, but the bits I have read are not promising for our Steph. And I'm just... I want her to get a chance for true happiness, even if that means being with Tim. And I want her to be MORE than Tim's (ex)girlfriend, but if you're always doing all their relationship development off screen, then it's not going to work! Like, Babara and Dick are always on-again-off-again, but you always get to see how that realtionship develops in the comics, and not as just flashbacks.

Doing a time jump, and having an existing couple break up in that time CAN work. It worked well with M'Gann and Conner in the Young Justice TV series. But you also had them as recurring characters on the same show given equal (ish) screen time. That allows for M'Gann to have character development, whilst allowing the mystery of what happened between them to enhance the viewer's experience.

But if you're not going to make Stephanie a recurring character, then that CAN'T happen. It's just, we have valid reasons to be concerned, even if the evidence is thin.

Checking to see if messages are going through. Since now I'm paranoid that it might not be working for me either

My inbox is working, I can’t IM anyone. It’s probably just as well Lent is coming up. This site has become unusable.

Top 3 ships: Itsuki Koizumi x Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (forever my first obsessive OTP), DCAU Tim Drake x Stephanie Brown from Batman (the Animated Series), and I'd say now Shintaro Kisaragi x Ayaki from Kagerou Project

Last Song: Karma by AJR, mostly bc of this Steven Universe animatic

Last Movie: I wanted to go see Birds of Prey/Harley Quinn but didn’t get a chance to before the virus shut down theaters, and also missed the opportunity to see Weathering With You, so I think the last one was technically a rewatch of Your Name with my friend in December. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Currently Reading: Nothing particularly, although I did look through the general TimSteph tag on AO3 recently for the first time in a while.  Of the fics I found this one probably stood out to me most since it talks about Steph’s scars from her torture at the hands of Black Mask, which in itself is rarely brought up - but Tim calling her beautiful anyway and kissing them is similar to how I envision DCAU TimSteph’s first attempt at intimacy in reverse. ;(

What Food Are You Craving Right Now: Nothing atm.  Just had some yogurt and granola earlier whilst watching the SU finale.
