Okay, evidence post for current ages, since my Aaron Langstrom obsession got a boost:

Jason Todd has been wandering around making passing references to it being 10 years since Death in the Family. I have seen scans. (The comics panel references from people who care about Jason would be appreciated)

If we are legitimately 10 years later:

Dick is 30. He’s 30 now as are all his contemporaries. Congrats, folks, you made it.

Barbara and Helena Bertinelli are in their early 30s.

Jason is ~25. Cass SHOULD also be 25 but *grits teeth*

Steph is somewhere between 23-24 *again grits teeth*

Tim is, at youngest, 22. (Someone please sit Bart down and explain how aging works)

Duke…might be 18 now? Or even older? I’m a little fuzzy on exactly how his age hooks in to the timeline.

Damian probably is 14-15 now and I’m leaning that he should be permitted to have turned 15 given what they’ve done to Jon. Narrow that age gap.

Becky Langstrom’s age is…messy but given she was born in 1978, before Jason became Robin, she should be about 13 now.

Aaron Langstrom was born around Knightfall and first appears in 1996, so he’s reasonably 8-9 now.

Molly Sterling - Playing With Numbers (Ireland) - LIVE at Eurovision 201...

The dichotomy of Brennan helping with ability score rolls for newer players:

Titan Takedown: Preps high-level base stats for the cast, with everyone having a 20 in their two most relevant ability scores and no one really having a genuine dump stat (no one's character has below a 14/+2 modifier in any ability), which allows the players to play to their class strengths and not have to worry about fucking up as much in a shorter, tighter campaign.

Fantasy High: Ally Beardsley rolls a 4 for Kristen's Dex and has to live with with the consequences of that for 6+ years

I love the idea of Raph and Donnie having lasting effects!!! Are there any others apart from the eyes and maybe the hive mind thing? (Also does the hive mind thing affect how they interact with each other?)

Also I love your art!!! The comic is awesome, and I did not realise you were the one who made the awesome music video for the Cass Apocolypse series!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

Meanwhile:

They get a little mixed up sometimes...

no genre has been done as dirty as stealth games. Like. if thousands of people thought they hated sokoban games because hundreds of game developers created dogshit mandatory sokoban segments in every game for no reaso- okay bad example

Favorite Song From Each Country! Part 6/37: Ireland!

Aaaaand we're back with another addition to my little series! I'm posting a little earlier today since it seems like I'm actually making good time for once in my life! But that's good because who knows, maybe I can get a few future entries posted so I don't have to worry about them later! *I'd still have to hop on and update the link but that takes all but a minute of my time, I could do it while watching TV*

For New People: I've done a kinda sorta discography dive of Eurovision Songs from each of the participating 37 Countries in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest and picked a favorite for each country in the years 2009 to the present. For some, I will be sharing my favorite song from the country and then my thoughts on the 2023 entry. For others, my favorite is the 2023 entry and I just talk about the one that got overthrown! Non-participating countries may or may not be tacked at the end, after which I will have a full list of favorites from each country. I just have to decide.

Let's roll! Next up is...Ireland!

Most Eurovision fans remember learning early on in their time in the fandom that Ireland was a total POWERHOUSE before the 21st Century, being the first country to win 7 times. I have no idea what happened to them afterward (I'm a newer Eurofan, so I'm still finding my footing...plus being from the US doesn't exactly help my case), but they've been on a rough patch, only having qualified for the Grand Final TWICE in the last 10 editions (2013 and 2018). Although, hot take here: Had the 2020 Contest not been cancelled, I think Ireland could have qualified for the Grand Final. I don't know where it would have finished, but that's all "what if?" at this point.

Favorite Entry: While I did hint at the intro for yesterday's post (Portugal) which one was my favorite, I did quite the opposite for today's posts. Like a couple other countries, my favorite for Ireland bounces around between mostly 2 entries. One of them being Brooke's sassy "That's Rich" from 2022, and the other being the one I will be talking about: Molly Sterling's "Playing With Numbers" from 2015. For one thing, I love breakup songs, despite never being in a romantic relationship. What I also love is when the breakup song isn't "YOU DID THIS TO ME!" but "I'm the one that messed up. I'm sorry." Which is exactly what "Playing With Numbers" is. A lot of people I've seen agree with me that this song was ROBBED of a Grand Final Spot (as was the aforementioned "That's Rich" at least imo). RANK: 12th in 2015 Semi-Final 2 (31st Overall)/PERSONAL RANK: 6th of 40 Countries) *NOTE: "That's Rich" ranked 15th in 2022 Semi-Final 2 (34th Overall) but ranked 4th of 40 Countries personally.*

Thoughts on 2023 Entry: I would like to start off with saying that both my mom and my sister have listened to the songs this year and both liked Wild Youth's "We Are One." However, while I liked listening to it, I just felt there was something...I don't know...missing from it all. Back to being nice about this entry (because that just felt mean in my eyes), it sounds like something in a young adult coming of age movie, which is not a bad thing at all. I don't have much else to say about this song, so I'll leave it at that. RANK: 12th in 2023 Semi-Final 1 (31st Overall)/PERSONAL RANK: 31st of 37 Countries
