Ok, Kon lifting Tim like all the other supers bc monkey see, monkey do, but Tim is Smart so he gets Kon to use TTK on him so it looks like Tim is flying too.

“Focus, Chris.”

“I am focusing.”

“If you say so, sure. Don’t let little old me distract you.”

“Shut up, Kon.”

Chris pointedly didn’t look at the very distracting gesture Kon made in response. Jerk. If he wanted to teach Chris how to use his tactile telekinesis, he could at least have the decency not to be rude about it.

Krypto let out a chuff from where he lay sprawled on the grass. Chris chose to interpret the sound as total agreement.

Kon had come home from Gemworld about a year ago, but Chris didn’t really bond with him until a few months later, when they decided to actually get to know each other. Turned out they had a lot in common: evil bio dads, spending years stranded in another dimension, coming back to a different Earth than the one they left, being friends with Tim Drake, et cetera. They became fast friends after that, even with Kon living on the Kent Farm aaalllllll the way in Kansas.

Oh, and they both had TTK. Telekinesis like Chris’s friend Kathy had, but cooler (in his totally unbiased opinion). Chris’s TTK developed last Thanksgiving, may that roast turkey rest in peace.

Kon had had his TTK for way longer than Chris, so he offered to teach him how to use it. Chris had accepted, so now they tried to meet up every Sunday for a lesson or two. Usually at the Kent farm, for safety and privacy.

Today was target practice. The goal: hit a small water bottle from thirty feet away with a marble. A difficult task for Chris, one which Kon was definitely not helping with.

Happy thoughts, Chris. Ignore your annoying adoptive cousin/brother/uncle/menace.

Chris took a deep, priming breath. He could do this. He lined up the shot, accounting for speed and trajectory. He concentrated his TTK at the back of the marble, ready to launch it…

“Bah!” Kon shouted from right next to Chris’s ear.

Chris jumped with a startled cry, and his shot went wide. The rogue projectile was shortly followed by a white blur in the air as Krypto went chasing after it.

Chris whipped around. “What the heck was that for?!” He threw his arms up indignantly. “I had it!”

Kon nodded. “Yeah, you did. Your aim was spot-on. You missed the point, though. I told you y’needed to focus.”

“I did focus!” Chris cried indignantly, “You messed me up!”

Kon shook his head. “Nope. Well, yeah, I messed you up, but that wasn’t focus, it was tunnel vision. You try to do that in a fight, and someone’ll throw you through a building.”

Chris crossed his arms with a huff. Stupid Kon with his stupid good points. “Fine, you win. Can we be done now? I wanna be done.”

Kon laughed. “Sure thing, Chris Bratt.” He ruffled Chris’s hair, ignoring his attempts to swat the offending hand away. “I’ve got a date with Tim later, anyway. Wanna go get ice cream before I take you home?”

“Yes!” Chris shouted. “Can I get the strawberry with that salted caramel on it?”

“How could I say no to you, y’little goblin?” Kon chuckled.

Chris pumped his fist in the air. “Heck yeah!”

Fandoms and Their Awful Habit of Undermining Female Characters to Favor Popular Ships

Hello, Tumblr folks. I’m back to share my controversial opinions here. Although, to be honest, this wasn’t the topic I had planned for my return (that was supposed to be about Star Wars, a subject that had me reflecting for two whole weeks about what I wanted to say; honestly, it stressed me out more than university).

But back to the important matter: I’ve noticed a troubling pattern within the DC fandom, particularly among those who ship TimKon (Tim Drake x Conner Kent). There’s a tendency to minimize or even disparage the romantic partners or ex-love interests of these characters, which I find unfair and harmful.

A clear example of this is Cassie Sandsmark, the second Wonder Girl. The way she’s often portrayed in the fandom is, at best, terrible. Not to mention the hostility toward her over a supposed “infidelity” that never actually happened. This not only affects Cassie as a character but also highlights a broader pattern: female characters are often the first to be attacked when they “get in the way” of a popular male ship.

This behavior is something we see repeatedly across different parts of the fandom:

Linda Park, Koriand’r, or Barbara Gordon when it comes to BirdFlash.

Nika/Flatline in the case of JonDami.

Iris West and Carol Ferris when it’s about HalBarry.

Lois Lane, Talia al Ghul, or Selina Kyle with Superbat.

Cheshire and Kyle Rayner’s many partners when JayRoy or JayKyle are involved.

And, of course, Cassie Sandsmark, Tamara Fox, or Stephanie Brown in the context of TimKon.

Don’t get me wrong: I like many of these ships, but I don’t think it’s necessary to tear down other characters to elevate a pairing.

Are there canon ships that lack chemistry and seem to exist “just because”? Sure, I won’t deny it. But hating female characters solely because of questionable writing decisions by the creators or editorial teams? That’s a whole different story. At the end of the day, the problem is bad writing, not the characters themselves.

My advice is simple: enjoy the ships and stories you like, respect other people’s preferences, and don’t scapegoat other characters just because the canon doesn’t align with your ship. If there’s something you don’t like, let it go, forget about it, and focus on what brings you joy in the fandom.

Fandoms have the potential to be amazing spaces, but only if we learn to appreciate them with respect and empathy.

the Supers and the Legion of Super-Heroes Superman: Last Stand of New Krypton #1

[margaretthotcher]

Look maybe I'm very new to the wider DC Fandom and maybe before 2024 I'd only ever consumed the arrowverse, the crisis on two earth's animated movie, superhero girls and my little brothers entire superman obsession but you know what makes me feral? When in fics, people call Clark Kal when they're having emotional conversations or they're really desperate for help. Same goes for Kon too honestly but it's better with Kal.
