Oh yes, he'd be a fan (phan?) of the Phantom of the Opera. He would not exactly consider it high art, but I think he would feel a certain connection to any work that offers a sympathetic look at an ugly, rejected, self-proclaimed genius goth with severe social issues and a tendency for violent outbursts.

He would not talk about it because "really enjoys an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical" is not part of the image of sophistication and starched-collar class he wants to portray, but... he would sing the songs. In private. (So he thinks.)

The fact is that David Lynch treats the subject of evil better than just about anybody else making movies today—better and also differently. His movies aren’t anti-moral, but they are definitely anti-formulaic. Evil-ridden though his filmic world is, please notice that responsibility for evil never in his films devolves easily onto greedy corporations or corrupt politicians or faceless serial kooks. Lynch is not interested in the devolution of responsibility, and he’s not interested in moral judgments of characters. Rather, he’s interested in the psychic spaces in which people are capable of evil. He is interested in Darkness. And Darkness, in David Lynch’s movies, always wears more than one face. Recall, for example, how Blue Velvet’s Frank Booth is both Frank Booth and “the Well-Dressed Man.” How Eraserhead's whole postapocalyptic world of demonic conceptions and teratoid offspring and summary decapitations is evil… yet how it’s “poor” Henry Spencer who ends up a baby-killer. How in both TV’s Twin Peaks and cinema’s Fire Walk with Me, “Bob” is also Leland Palmer, how they are, “spiritually,” both two and one. The Elephant Man’s sideshow barker is evil in his exploitation of Merrick, but so too is good old kindly Dr. Treeves—and Lynch very carefully has Treeves admit this aloud. And if Wild at Heart’s coherence suffered because its myriad villains seemed fuzzy and interchangeable, it was because they were all basically the same thing, i.e. they were all in the service of the same force or spirit. Characters are not themselves evil in Lynch movies—evil wears them. This point is worth emphasizing. Lynch’s movies are not about monsters (i.e. people whose intrinsic natures are evil) but about hauntings, about evil as environment, possibility, force. This helps explain Lynch’s constant deployment of noirish lighting and eerie sound-carpets and grotesque figurants: in his movies’ world, a kind of ambient spiritual antimatter hangs just overhead. It also explains why Lynch’s villains seem not merely wicked or sick but ecstatic, transported: they are, literally, possessed. Think here of Dennis Hopper’s exultant “I’LL FUCK ANYTHING THAT MOVES��� in Blue Velvet, or of the incredible scene in Wild at Heart when Diane Ladd smears her face with lipstick until it’s devil-red and then screams at herself in the mirror, or of Bob’s look of total demonic ebullience in Fire Walk with Me when Laura discovers him at her dresser going through her diary and just about dies of fright. The bad guys in Lynch movies are always exultant, orgasmic, most fully present at their evilest moments, and this in turn is because they are not only actuated by evil but literally inspired: they have yielded themselves up to a Darkness way bigger than any one person. And if these villains are, at their worst moments, riveting for both the camera and the audience, it’s not because Lynch is “endorsing” or “romanticizing” evil but because he’s diagnosing it—diagnosing it without the comfortable carapace of disapproval and with an open acknowledgment of the fact that one reason why evil is so powerful is that it’s hideously vital and robust and usually impossible to look away from.

Top Gun - Incorrect Quote 185

Iceman: Slider, get that hideous thing out of the living room, would you?

Slider: Maverick, Ice wants you out of the house

[lady-corrine]

excuse you but kory is his biggest DEFENDER when it comes to his fashion choices!! NOBODY got the vision he had with the leotards until she showed up. I see your point and I argue: she wasn’t picking his clothes because he did the Robin custom all on his own that was long before her, BUT she IS his fashion advisor! He will pull the most hideous looking outwear a human have ever seen and ask “what do you think?” And with her heart eyes filter she goes: “YOU LOOK AMAZING!!! 🫶🏼💕💕💓so sexy!!💋💋❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥” and he will go out wearing it. So once kory and him aren’t together he would still him, but now he pull a shirt and his humans be like “put that back”.

we need kory back in our lives stop this Dick Bullying he deserves to be a fashion debater, humans just DONT GET IT with him smh

(Nightwing retirement plan is he because a customer designer for younger heros, Batman tried to stop him but he failed)

I completely agree with all of this, yup! And about Kory being his biggest defender, that's actually canon 😭

"You've got nothing to be ashamed of" please she is so 🥹 As far as Kory is concerned, Dick could say to dye his hair pink and Kory would be the one to do it with her own hands. He could pull the most horrible outfit the world has ever seen and Kory would approve like "big fashion houses like Dior or Chanel wish they would have a designer like you darling 💖" ajkxghw.

And this goes for Dick being very supportive of her as well:

"You look more than wonderful" wah 🥹🫶🏻

Kory could wear a literal potato sack and Dick would be all:

Once dc broke them up, Dick would do that for a while and only get responses like "put that away, we're not going out with you dressed like that" so of course now he fixates on the usual shirts and jeans because Kory isn't there anymore 😞

He (and us) desperately need her back in his life to bring back the colour🙏🏻😭💞

Parallels Between the Girl and Boy Robins

I've been stewing on a thought for a while, and when I was messaging @redplanetlobster, I realized it's actually a good one worth sharing.

All 3 of the Girl Robins from DC (Helena Wayne, Carrie Kelley, and Stephanie Brown for those unfamiliar) have notable parallels to the last 3 Boy Robins (Damian Wayne, Tim Drake, and Jason Todd). Check it out:

Individual drawings under the cut, words/image description in the alt text.

Now, this isn't to say that anybody "stole" anybody else's gimmick---especially not the girl robins stealing the boys' thing: Carrie predates Tim by 3 years and Helena predates Damian by like 30 years. And obviously Jason was created long before Steph, although she was a well established character by the time Jason was resurrected.

But I do find these parallels fascinating. On the part of Steph and Jason, some of their similarities are intentional (mostly them being dead and having a rather strained relationship with Bruce), but many of them are not. And I don't think Helena or Carrie were even a thought in the writer's heads when creating Tim and Damian.

This is especially fascinating because, despite these similarities, these characters are VASTLY different from each other and I don't think they'd even GET ALONG with each other without some serious work.

Jason has no particular beef with Steph and sees her as proof of his point, but Steph thinks he's a conceited asshole who tried to murder her boyfriend. Tim and Carrie were trained by an obsessively paranoid Bruce and carry that paranoia with them---they can throw each other MUCH further than they trust each other. And while Damian and Helena may get along all right if it's later in Damian's arc, an early Damian would have SO many complexes about her existence and there WOULD be bloodshed.

Idk, I just think this is incredibly interesting and want a fanfic or a robin crossover event that explores it (and locks these pairs in a room for an extended period of time).

Btw, I do find it hilarious that Duke Thomas (most recent Robin technically) and Maps Mizoguchi (prooooobably gonna be the next Robin) are actually COMPLETE opposites lol.

Headcanon: As well as the abundance of scales dragons shed, many species also lose and regrow their teeth periodically (like sharks) and it's always been tradition amongst vikings to display parts taken from dragons they killed as trophies, but now Berkians celebrate and use things dragons lose naturally. For weaponry (like how the dragon riders used shed scales for their armor) for jewelry, accessories and decoration.

Dragons have always been an integral part of Berk's culture but over the years the reasoning behind it has shifted, now they wear teeth or scales of their dragon's in pride of their beauty and the bonds they share, or for remembrance of the deceased. They put up tapestries and include them in their architecture no longer as displays of their dragon killing prowess, but in celebration of them, their nature and the peace they've made.

They're proud of their dragons, they love them and want the world to see it.
