what's fun about shipping Tim with Dick, Jason, or Damian is he has, at some point, hallucinated all of them to comfort himself. even when he doesn't like them or particularly get along with them, he has to imagine/hallucinate them just so he has the power to go on. Tim's concepts of the Robin mantle and what it should be is so fun, because he respects the others through the Robin mantle. Tim worships Dick because he was the first Robin. he wouldn't be Robin if Jason hadn't died in the mantle. and a lot of his frustration with Damian is he feels Damian isn't honoring the mantle correctly. when you ship Tim with the other Robins you can't divorce their identities as Robin from it because Tim will always see them as a Robin first and that's so fun and fucked up. like.

Tim perceiving Dick as *Robin* cheering him on, not Nightwing, which is the version of Dick that Tim actually knows? that's just. wild of him. he will always view Dick as Robin first, his personal hero but also the original of the legacy. his love for Dick is shaped by that.

and then of course, even when he's hallucinating/imagining Jason cheering him on, it's *still* through the lense of being reminded how Jason failed? subconsciously believing that Jason got himself killed because of his actions, and that being a lesson for Tim to learn from? Jason isn't a person to Tim, he's a moral lesson about how to be Robin. any potential idolization he could have of Jason isn't because he loves Jason, it's because of the lessons Jason's death taught him.

and then, even though him hallucinating TIm is from the New-52, which makes characterization all kinds of questionable, i do think it makes sense for TIm to hallucinate/imagine Damian after Damian's death in an attempt to cope with it.

to an extend, he sees Damian's death as in part his own fault. and even hating Damian, Tim needs the comfort from this to cope with Damian being gone. he's angry that Damian even was Robin, and has to learn something from Damian's death and how it impacts the Robin mantle, and teenage heroes as a whole. like, Tim can pretend he hates Damian all he wants, even getting taunted by the image of Damian, but there's still an underlying love to their relationship.

i think that's just the fun of shipping Tim with any of them. you will never divorce Tim's views of them from the Robin mantle and how fucking Unwell he is about anyone else who's been Robin before or after him, to the point he has to hallucinate them comforting him when he's at his lowest. it's always going to be a little unhealthy, a little toxic, and driven by Tim's relationship with being Robin as well. i need more Tim being weird about Robin in these ships.

I have transgendered your surgeon and there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry 💖🏳️‍⚧️

I actually did quite a bit of research about transgender and queer history during the 20s - 50s, just to try and get a feel of how that would look in the MASH canon timeline. I think everyone should research queer history, it's good for you.

Anyway you can pry transgender Hawkeye headcanons out of my cold dead hands!

I love fics where Connor and Nines are friends, that’s a lot of fun and a really cool dynamic. But I want it to take work to get there. Nines was literally created to replace him, there is no was Connor doesn’t have some feelings about that, even if he knows they’re not logical.

Imagine Hank trying to be friends with Nines. He doesn’t care that Connor keeps telling him androids don’t have families, he still sees Nines as Con’s brother. He’s also just trying to make up for how shitty he was to Connor when he first met him. And Connor trying so hard to keep himself together and not let it get to him because Hank is working on himself. Hank is being nice, it’s supposed to be sweet! But he can’t stop the uncomfortable feeling from twisting in his stomach when he sees them together working on something without him. He feels sick. He tries to burry the feeling away and not say anything. Hank’s not dumb though, he knows something is wrong, Connor’s being too quiet and has avoided looking at him all night. He finally pushes Connor to tell him. Connor would resist at first, he knows what he’s feeling is irrational but eventually the words all just come tumbling out. He was built to replace me. You’re going to replace me.

This is a somehow personal and pro Sylvie post so feel free to scroll past it.

For reasons related to my last post, I needed a comfort show after breathing stopped being painful and Loki finale has become a comfort episode for me. But I don't want to talk about Loki this time. For the most part. I want to talk about Sylvie. Why I love and sympathize with her.

Her conversation with Loki in the finale is my favorite Sylvie scene.

"And who are you to say we can't die trying? Who are you to decide we can't die fighting?"

Her rage, her defiance, her hatred of someone else deciding for her. All that are things that I can deeply understand. That I feel every single day. Being targeted and hunted for your very existence, for your harmless choices, for your basic human rights, for being you your whole life. Her pessimism, her distrust of everyone, her thirst for revenge, her relentless fighting to be free even for a short time, even if it means her death, even if death will be the only freedom she gets. All of it, I feel too.

These lines, this dialogue between Sylvie and Loki in ep 6, always make me emotional. It's a conclusion to the conversion they had in ep 4.

"Annihilating is easy. Razing things to the ground is easy. Trying to fix what's broken is hard. Hope is hard."

And Sylvie, Sylvie looks like she's about to cry. It's like she's never even considered it.

Can she hope? Is she brave enough to hope? and isn't hope why we're fighting? All she had till then was rage and revenge. They were the forces that drove her and when they were gone, she was lost, empty, alone. She started to doubt her choices. And here Loki was offering her softness, change, hope. Again. Like he did from the start. And that moved her.

What I like though, is that what Loki does in the end, isn't fixing TVA like he initially wanted. He destroys the loom, the very thing TVA was trying to protect. But after that, he fixes the timelines, not by controlling them, but by setting them free. He both destroys and fixes sth and through that proves both himself and Sylvie right.

"I grew in apocalypses Loki. I've lived through enough of them to know that sometimes it's ok to destroy something." "If…if there's a hope that you can replace that thing with something better."

If you wanna see a loser bitch get mad as hell tell a fanfic writer to PROPERLY tag their fic as rape. Not just write "noncon" in the post but go into the notes and actually tag it as "tw rape" because they get mad asf when you call them out on it. How the fuck am I supposed to find good smut fics when each and everyone of yall are sexualizing and romanticizing rape and using the excuse that it's "dark content" no nigga you're fucking weird. You're a weirdo with a rape fetish and you're projecting it through a fictional character who has nothing to do with that and you refuse to tag it because you want notes and interactions with more people who say shit like "Omg X character nonconning his darling is sooo hot 🥺💗🎀🌸".

Don't get mad at me for calling you out on it because if you didn't write it in the first place, and if you actually tagged it I wouldn't have to see it at all.

I don’t see anyone talking about it but I’ve been thinking so much lately about the five times Jean was SA’d by the Ravens at Riko’s demand.

We see so much about Andrew’s past and I think that’s super important, as someone with a similar past I find it oddly comforting to see that representation within a character that means so much to me. But I feel like as a fandom we gloss over Jean’s sexual trauma. We talk a lot about his torture at the hands of Riko but nobody ever talks about how horrific it must have been for him to be raped not once but five times by his team. And it would’ve been more had Riko not gotten bored of it when Jean stopped resisting.

I get that Jean isn’t as big of a character as the Foxes or Riko but his storyline is absolutely heartbreaking and I wish there was more content that delves into it. His torture is mentioned in fics but I’d love to see more of his story. I’d love to read more about how people think he heals. I want to see him be able to get past this. Obviously we don’t see him struggling after the assaults but one can only assume it left a lasting affect on him.

Anyways, this is my proposal to have more Jean content talk about the grimy parts of what happened to him and then show how he heals from it all. There’s tons of Andrew fics like that and I think Jean deserves the same healing.

Luigi for ∇

∇ -. old age/aging headcanon

The biggest change Luigi sees in himself as he ages (aside from, of course, the physical symptoms of aging) is his anxiety and skittish personality mellowing out quite a bit.

Is he still a bit jumpy around loud noises or sudden movement? Occasionally! Is he still prone to tears due to an array of strong emotions, positive or negative? Absolutely! Does he still feeling the same rising fear and worry should he have to face an enemy in battle? Yep, still there!

But he notices he's not as consumed by anxiety in his old age as he was when he was younger. Perhaps because he's simply lived enough experiences, good and bad, to know what's worth worrying over and what isn't, and that the opinions of random passerby's that aren't a major part of his life don't matter as much as the people who actually care about him. And if they love and appreciate him for who he is, isn't that more important than stretching himself thin for the hope of appreciation from the nameless masses?

I imagine he's still overall generally shy and soft spoken, generally conflict avoidant when he can, probably sitting out the occasional hero quest or two for the good of his own health. But he's still the sweet and caring person who has learned to live and cope with his fears <3
