I love Steph's origin as told in the Secret Origins 80 page giant- I just overall think it strengthens her character by giving her a lot of pathos and adding to her heroism (which isn't something writers were focused on in her actual intro in detective comics #647 since she was just meant to act as a plot device back then) BUT there is one tiny detail in it i will begrudge, and that is the portrayal of her having a minor love at first sight moment for tim
Secret origins 80 page giant, ID in alt
(or well, technically this was their second meeting in that story (the brick was the first) so...love at second sight?)
Mostly because Stephanie showed no interest in her introduction and only showed romantic feelings towards Tim AFTER this moment here:
Robin (1993) #4, ID in alt
Straight up the progression here goes:
The adventure in 'tec where they first meet -> Tim investigating the same crime scene as Steph -> she beats him up not knowing it's him at first, apologizes but says he shouldn't have scared her -> he remembers her/the moniker she goes by -> they talk about plot for a few pages -> Stephanie starts flirting
Robin (1993) #4, ID in alt
Which...is so fascinating to me and says so much about Stephanie. She highlights the fact that Tim "remembered" her. Like. Steph. Girl. This is our bar? It's sweet but kind of speaks to how much Stephanie is ignored at home/how little and sporadically she's shown interacting with her peers (and rarely ever the same kids twice). Her idea of peak romance is just...being on someone's mind even when you're not there.
Kind of also adds layers to Steph's proclivity towards jealousy later on, a manifestation of her insecurity and loneliness (though don't get it twisted, she's not written this way bc Dixon and co think it's an interesting character flaw, they wrote it bc they think it's an inherent character flaw of (particularly young) women/girls, which is very apparent in how he approaches Ariana's character as well from what I've read)
Also the fact that Steph becomes so smitten for Tim almost immediately after this is (a few issues later she aggressively flirts with him during AN ACTIVE HOSTAGE SITUATION. WHERE SHE'S THE HOSTAGE) again is kind of a mixture of kind of funny and sad. One boy is nice to her once and she's fully ready to wife him. Girl you are deranged (affectionate) (concerned)

im in my creepypasta phase right now and my demon slayer phase >:) and I made this little characters who are like 12-14 and their silly little twins who fight or kill in a double like daki and gyutaro! And I was wondering if you could just do silly little HCs of Slender,ben,Jeff,masky,and hoodie reacting to the twins pranking everyone in the manor and they catch them?>:3
₊˚ ‿︵‿୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿ ˚₊
I will do F!Reader and M!Reader for this!!^^ sorry to
NB people!☹️☹️💕
Creepypasta x M!Teen!Reader and F!Teen!Reader
Ft: Slenderman, Masky, Hoodie, Ben drowned, Jeff the killer, and F!reader
And M!Reader.
Slenderman:
・He is impressed withboth of your skills, and you both intrigue him.
・But when you all do your pranks his dad side comes out.
・He gets your both dumb teens but this dude is a grumpy old man.
・He might chuckle a little bit, some of the pranks you both pull are amusing.
・But he has to be a party pooper.. sorry kids!
・He finally caught you both in the act and he actually found this one an interesting one..
・You both some how managed to steal Bens hat and try to hide it in his office. 😭
・But he knows how special Bens hat is to him and you both know it to! But your both kids
So he just scolds you both and makes you two apologize to ben and give it back.
・And as for punishment you both had to have a sleepover with LJ.. (I hate that clown sm)
“Children, why do you do these things?”
Masky/Tim:
・Same with Slender on the prank stuff, he finds some of them funny but also finds
Them annoying at times😭
・I mean hes a grumpy old man who wants to get his work done so Ig it makes sense-?
・Still hes a partypooper. >:/
・So he caught you both putting hello kitty stickers on his mask when he went out to smoke..
・He was amused but also annoyed.
・He kinda had to take a second to process everything.
・When he realized what you guys where doing he sighed and was like “Really?”
・He took you both to slender and let him deal with you guys because he was to tired to
Deal with you two.
・He already deals with you both half of the time give the poor guy a break😭
“Are you two serious?” He sighed. “Lets go to slender..”
Hoodie/Brain:
・He doesn’t really care THAT much. That much.
・But sometimes he can get frustrated with you two.
・Hes found some of them funny, like he might have actually laughed. Unlike Masky/Tim.
・But he likes to make things quick and you both make that hard.
・He was going to go and grab his gun for a mission but he found you both replacing the bullets with..
Blueberrys..?
・He was standing there like:🧍🏻♂️
・He then snatched the gun away from you both and said “This is not a toy.” In a low kinda deep
Voice.
・He then turned to F!Y/N and was like “I thought you where smarter then your brother.”
・ANYWHOOOOO
・He kept your prank a secret but gave you both a little lecture.
・Hes like the cool uncle.
“You both stay out of my stuff, there not toys, but pretty cool prank.”
Jeff:
・Hes one of the ones who find your pranks hilarious.
・Like when he saw Maskys mask with a whole bunch of hello kitty stickers on
It he died.
・He ruffled yalls hair and was like “Good job kiddos!”
・BUTTTTT
・All of that changes when hes the one getting pranked.
・There was a time where you both put some of sallys pink clothes with
His WHITE hoodie in the washer. He did not find this one funny.
・He was mad because he has an attachment to his hoodie,kinda like how Ben is attached to his hat.
・One time he walked into Toby’s room to tell him that he has to go on a mission and he saw yall tying his shoes together he had to hold in his laugh and he gave yall a thumbs up and left the room.
・He covered for both of you!
“Yeah no it wasn’t the two brats.”
Ben:
・He also finds both of yalls pranks funny as shit.
・I mean how could he not?
・He was impressed with the jeff hoodie thing, like how are you guys even alive?
・And he doesn’t really care THAT much if you guys prank him.
・Except the time when you guys came to the mansion and didn’t know that
Hated and had a fear of water.
・You both dunked a whole bunch of water over his head.
・HE WAS PISSEDDD
・That made you both have a rocky start with him, buttt he knows that you two are just kids
So he lets it slide.
・He isolates himself for sometime, you both felt bad so you went to try and
Talk to him, surprisingly he answered. He heard you both out and he sighed.
・Then some time goes bye, you both are good with him! But he walked in on you guys trying to
Do something with his GAMES!?
・He wasn’t mad just scared of what was going to happen to his games.
・He goes like “What are you guys doing!?” And startles you both so you drop them.
・He screeches like a little girl and then makes sure there ok.
・There ok, thankfully. He then looks down at both of you for some reason hes not mad..
He ruffles both of your hairs then shoves you both out of his room and then says,
“If I catch you guys messing with my games again You might meet with a terrible fate.���
・Ofc he was joking! (or was he)

Just read Robin & Batman by Jeff Lemire with art by Dustin Nguyen so heres an extremely long review (unasked for) because I have so many thoughts (spoiler warning)
I really loved the relationship and personal growth for both Dick and Bruce that they showed across just 3 issues.
I know we've all become accustomed to slice of life batdad but starting out emo boy Bruce Wayne was just looking for a soldier and I think this story is where he really starts to learn how to be a father. He makes some clear missteps like invading Dick's privacy by reading his journal but he was just trying to do something nice for Dick. It's interesting to still see both of them as humans who are making mistakes and it's nice to see how that changes across the issues.
But you can see sooooooo clearly that he is trying to be a dad, even if it's in his weird loner edgelord ways. He makes sure to give Dick the best birthday possible by introducing him to his peers at the Justice League, as well as their sidekicks who would be soon to become the first iteration of the Teen Titans in #2 which was probably my favorite issue of the limited series. Overall it's a very sweet issue until the twist towards the end where it's revealed that it was actually secretly a recon mission
Just the dichotomy of Bruce Wayne trying to be a normal person and also The Batman and that reflecting on Dick is really interesting. Especially while simultaneously Alfred is there to provide more of that fatherly presence, despite Dick ultimately wanting it to come from Bruce.
And, of course, in the end after their big fight with Killer Croc they have their big moment where Dick really comes into his own and fully becomes Robin. UGH SO GOOD. It's where we see the clearest moment of Bruce's growth, and Dick realizing he doesn't need to be like Bruce he needs to be by himself. Sidenote, I did think Waylon's character in this was really interesting. I'm not sure if he's normally part of Haly's Circus but him having a personal grudge against Dick for making him feel isolated just makes him more menacing. ALSO THE PARALLELS. Part of me fully expected the end result to actually be Dick solving the problem without his fists but oh well. Overall great series with lots of amazing moments!!
