I know that BAMF Tim is fun and more like the comics, but I think a real-life Tim would have rejection sensitivity and definitely try to make himself unobtrusive as possible.

Dick Grayson turning him down when he asks him to return to Robin would embarrass him. He might still go to Bruce; but any hint of being unwanted (even if he’s an unreliable narrator), would stop him in his tracks.

He would still be smart and kind, but if he ever felt like he wasn’t wanted, he would retreat. Flight or fawn. If fawning doesn’t work, instant flight. Partly because he’s a perfectionist that can’t stand failure (he tries once, and then leaves it alone) and partly because he has a low self-efficacy.

He loves Gotham, is wicked smart; but he’s not going to put himself in a position where people criticize him. I don’t see that rolling off his back because he never learned resilience his parents.

Here’s how it would go:

Tim: I can be Robin.

Bruce: Get the hell out of my house, absolutely not.

Tim: Ok. Sorry about that.

*Leaves*

*avoids Bruce and the rest of the Waynes for the next year or two years*

*Jason comes back and slots into the family easier than if Tim had been there*

*Bruce comes out of grief spiral and remembers “hey, wasn’t there a boy who came by who knows our identities?”*

Bruce: Hi, Tim, let’s talk.

Tim: *runs away to fake uncle because parents died*

If, by chance, they follow, Tim’s fawn response would be so ingrained, they’d have to be super emotionally intelligent to pick up on it.

Eventually, they do. Tim makes a mistake and when Bruce or Dick or Jason talk to him about it (forgoing the compliment sandwich that Tim’s self esteem definitely needs), Tim says, “Yes sir” and then leaves in the middle of the night.

He runs to Canada (I’m always trying to get him to Canada apparently) and tries to live without friends or family who might end up disappointed in him.

How it ends is dependent on how good Bruce is at figuring all this out.

also. something about palpatine being so adept at seeing into the future that all of his successes feel completely joyless by the time he achieves them because he’s just going through the motions… how fucked up and nihilistic and brutal that would make you…

Imagine looking at a character whose entire premise is that in every stage of his life, he's made every version of himself into someone that inspires people to such a degree that EVERY SINGLE VERSION OF HIM has people wanting to literally follow in his footsteps in some way or another.....

And coming to the conclusion that like.....the most important things about him are the sum of all his trappings. His entirely homemade developed from scratch could not exist if not for what he already was and brought with him BEFORE crafting this newest version of himself trappings, with his greatest trait throughout all of it being his adaptability; his ability and willingness to roll with the punches and not try to simply weather any opposition or changes to his life but instead reshape himself as needed to better fit INTO whatever new shape his life and the world around him takes. All while managing to carry the most innate, fundamental and necessary aspects of himself from one version to the next. Thus every single version of himself is different but simultaneously every single version of himself is also undeniably the same person.

The strength of this character, to me, will always be that he can be so many versions of himself, he can become so many things, all without ever actually losing or discarding any of the aspects of himself he considers most essential, the things he's not willing to lose or give up just to keep going. Finding that road not taken by most, usually because most never even think to look for it as an option. But one that he's always able to find because the one trick he's mastered in his tumultuous life is threading that needle of not just digging in his heels in an unproductive way but rather being selective about when and where he makes a stand and decides "this is not a thing I'm willing to compromise about" but here are places and ways I can and will change and evolve and adapt in order to make it possible for me to hold onto these parts and keep them as they are.

And that's why its always so mind-boggling to me that so many writers can't seem to think of anything else to do with Dick Grayson other than invent some new reason for him to just....not be that person, or to like just take the character whose most basic fundamental trait he's NOT about to compromise on is willingly giving up his spot in the driver's seat of his own life.....and make him just a passenger in his own life and stories.

Dick Grayson at age nine....at age nineteen...at age twenty nine....the one core thread running through all versions of him is the only way he's standing back and letting you call the shots for him or putting him on the sidelines in some way is over his dead body.

HOW he goes about that, what that looks like, who he becomes and what aspects of himself he plays up at some times and what traits he lets fall by the wayside at other times when they offer less in service to his primary goal here....that changes constantly. He changes constantly.

But those changes are almost always (or at least they used to be/should be IN MY OPINION) made with the intention of keeping certain things about him or his life as consistent as possible.

That's the duality of Dick Grayson that I'm here for. The inherent contradiction of him that COULD allow for endless conflict and breaking new narrative ground in all sorts of ways if mined properly:

His eternal willingness to compromise....but only ever in pursuit of doubling down on the ways he's not willing to compromise.

Forever walking that tightrope in ways that only a kid born and raised in a circus could ever hope to.

Toyota APM 2020/2023. Some of the Accessible People Movers that were originally designed for the (delayed) 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games have been repurposed and transformed into cat buses for the Expo Aichi Memorial Park in the Japanese city of Nagakute. The cat buses have been designed to resemble the cat character from the 1988 Studio Ghibli animated film My Neighbour Tortoro. The APM is fully electric with a range of 100km and a top speed of 20km/h (12 mph). There were around 200 APMs made for the Olympics, it’s unclear how many have been turned into cats

hetalia and the nations really are, to me, just an elaborate metaphor. that's why it's hard for me to have really solid headcanons or even just think about them in concrete, unchanging terms. but i also think that's a strength of the series because it lends itself so intensely to creative exploration. i'm not tied down to one interpretation so they can change and shift as i need them to, and every possibility can exist simultaneously in my mind without contradiction. it's cool and very unique imo

So I l’ve been getting into your ko crisis story lately (it all sounds rlly awesome btw) and i was curious - you’ve said in the tags in a previous ask that ash is comphet, so is that gonna play a major role in her character arc/journey in any way?

Yeah, the story basically covers her journey of redefining her identity as a queer Asian-American disabled woman in a sports-entertainment industry, which is a media landscape that specifically targets, exploits, and fetishizes people like her.

Btw if it’s hot where you live right now and you inexplicably feel like absolute shit, this is your reminder that headache/sleepiness/nausea etc are all signs of heat exhaustion. Please go run some cool (NOT cold) water over your wrists and hands, or if you’re at home take a cool (NOT cold) bath or shower.

If you’re out and you don’t have money to go somewhere then head to your closest library. They’ll have AC and a bathroom. I’m so serious. I deadass was on the verge of puking my guts out an hour ago and assumed I was about to get a migraine but turns out it was just good ol heat exhaustion. Your brain is cooking and it will get harder to realize that’s what happening. Stay safe 🫶

Btw don’t use ice or very cold water. It can kill you.
