It is so, so important to me that people understand that Tim didn't figure out the bats because Dick was a "Show off". Like yes, Dick Grayson is the most flamboyant, dramatic ass man you will ever meet.

But the quadruple somersault? There's no way that was because dick was just showing off. Because you're telling me Bruce Wayne, who's so committed to hiding his identity that he literally acts like a completely different person out of the mask in public just to ward suspicion, would miss the fact that Robin regularly uses the flying Grayson's trademark move? There's literally no way.

In the comics we see Tim explain his deductive process to Dick and Alfred and they're both surprised impressed whatever. We don't see him explain it to Bruce. I think Bruce would be surprised and shocked that a 9 year old was able to put the pieces together but I don't think he'd be surprised that the quadruple somersault gave it away.

So if Bruce was possibly aware of such an obvious give away, why let it continue?

I'll tell you why.

It really comes down to the physics

So Dick was 9 when he started out right? That means the most he'd have likely weighed was 43kgs or roughly 95lbs in freedom units.

But Dick and both of his parents are gymnasts who tend to be smaller. So he was likely less than that.

In physics, rotating objects build up angular momentum (this is how bikes stay up right for example). The more rotation, the more momentum. And objects with less mass build up that momentum much faster than those that are heavier.

Robin constantly has to fight people who are nearly 3 times his size. I teach 8 year olds, they're tiny. A quadruple somersault for a small boy that weighs less than a hundred pounds is a brutal weapon. Especially if you add in the acceleration from gravity as he drops in from above.

And I can guarantee you this logic tracks because Dick literally utilizes this idea, without the somersault, in the 2009 teen titans cartoon.

Yeah, that's right. We're talking about the infamous knee drop.

Like it is borderline savage. Add in a quadruple somersault and the resulting force is nearly fatal. It's likely the main reason Batman would ever allow him to do it with the cape on.

Also, Dick landing feet first on the penguin in the first image probably gave the guy severe back issues

Imagining a random Batfamily dinner table conversation where someone asks about a certain rigorous training program Bruce declined to use with the Robins.

Alfred: “It’s hell on your feet. All of your toenails will fall off by the fourth week.”

Cue horrified disbelief as 8+ batkids turn to Bruce, who’s quietly slicing his steak at the head of the table.

“It’s true,” Bruce says, switching his fork over to the other hand. “All your toenails do fall off.”

Tim: “Oh my god.”

Dick: “That’s disgusting.”

Jason: “All of them? At the same time?”

Tim: “Oh my god.”

You know, a lot of the takes I’ve seen regarding why CaitVi is “abusive” seem to center around like, a form of class essentialism.

Like, they all center around how Cait grew up rich, and Vi grew up oppressed by the rich, and how that creates a power dynamic with Cait on top that they can never escape. They treat inherited wealth like it’s a fucking caste system! Oh no, they cry, a Poor can never truly love a Rich!

And like, yeah, that disparity in their upbringing WILL and DOES create a lot of tension, misunderstandings, and conflict. But none if it’s unsolvable because empathy and understanding are more important than the wedges society tries to create between people. But these caitvi haters will write whole essays about how impossible it is to cross the gap created by wealth. And like… friends, that’s how oppressors WANT you to think.

Anyway, rant over.

on another note it is actually refreshing seeing dan and phil talk about periods and normalising them to an extent as in not making it a taboo thing to talk about and not making jokes in bad taste esp being men with a large female audience tooo

This has nothing to do with anything, but y'all seen those comics with Discord being really 'old' with the long grey hair, at like a point well past Fluttershy's death. Well imagine instead if after her death, he asked Twilight to turn him back to stone for eternity because he wouldn't be able to live life without her. And then at some point during G3, they had heard about how much of a good person Discord was and unturned(?) him from stone and he has to deal with life without Fluttershy?

Pfft y'all what if...

In light of my nephew recently starting botw in German

(The fun thing about growing up with dubbing is realising the distinct lack of different VAs, so you end up randomly hearing Lego show characters blasting through the living room because someone is watching a dub.)

Ghosts exist for any number of reasons. Unfinished business, ectoplasm with emotions that eventually becomes a more solid form, reproduction. Point is, there’s a lot of different ways to become a ghost. How was John supposed to know selling your soul so many times it eventually falls into pieces was one?

Okay hear me out-

(Just a note i dont know how common this "hc" is cus I haven't roperly interacted with a fandom since I was like 13 I have no idea wtf you guys are doin up in there)

(And no, writing fanfiction on ao3 and occassionally talking to commenters doesn't technucally count.)

[eddiewithcat]

people referring to charles as edwin's "straight bff" oh my god charles please gET BEHIND ME NOW!!

are you closing your eyes whenever charles is the first to initiate touch between them? plugging your ears whenever this kid wax poetic about his best friend to anyone who will listen?

did you see the scene where he tried to befriend monty, got shut down, and then turned and looked back as him and edwin had a conversation with that look on his face? (and yet never has any issue whenever niko talks / hangs out with him btw!!!)

or maybe, how about, when edwin brought up the cat king and charles said something like, "we're still getting out of here, the goal is to go home" or whatever he says (something along those lines ok!)

like this isn't even including the entire attic scene, or him risking his life for him to save him from Hell

(...and the fact he said "we have literally forever, to figure out what the rest means" iDK GUYS THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A REJECTION TO ME!!!!)

this also not including the comics which BTW he was said to be very bi-coded so..!!!

never use that word associated with my son ever again!!!

[confused-spood]

Fucking hate romance. My friend fucking stole my best friend from me and now she's never available to hang out cuz she already used up all of her permissions to leave the house with time spent with him, like what the hell?? I mean, I get that you guys are special or something, being romance and all, but girl, we've been planning to hang out for ages and it's like I suddenly don't exist?? Wtf????

If Stacy (a Japanese-American woman) can be President of Uruguay, then Ferb (an English chap) can sure as hell be US president.

And he’d be THE BEST at it.
