I just saw someone say that Tim was the only member of the batfamily who didn’t suck at math.
With the exception of Dick (acrobatics) and Cass (body language) none of the Batkids are THAT much better than the others at a certain skill
Yes Jason is a better shot
Yes Tim is a better detective
And on a technical level they’re much better
Sure
But that means that if they have a 0.001% chance of cracking a case or making a shot. There will be a noticeable difference between Tim being the character or say Damian.
Otherwise
Not particularly.
Think of each skill like a normally distributed curve okay with the mean being your average hero/olympian/hacker/genius
Right
The Batkids will be at the 96th percentile in the skill
With the exception of 1 of them being at the 99th percentile range
Unless you are writing something you can comfortably say is complex/difficult enough to warrant drawing attention to the 3% difference. It’s annoying to bring it up
I exclude Dick and Cass
Because Dicks introduction is the fact he can do something the rest of the kids can’t to the point where it’s an identifier within his own story. It’s how Tim found him, a signature only he can do.
And Cass because she is genuinely cartoonishly cracked in her own storyline and in batfamily stuff she’s borderline a mind reader
(Could also argue Jason for supernatural stuff and the all blades)
These are exceptions because yeah
If you told me Jason, Dick or Steph cracked a difficult case in a run I wouldn’t treat it as shocking information
If you told me Tim, Dick or Damian managed a tricky shot with a firearm in a dire situation (like what happens in the Grayson run) it would be interesting, surprising but like not? Shocking?
If you told me that Jason did a quadruple summersault off a building and landed on his feet I’d be confused as shit
And even WITH Dick and Cass the other kids are still FREAKISHLY good at D&Cs special skills but they both have unignorable signatures
This is a very long winded way of saying when an author simplifies a character down to
“Oh look nice flippy one”
“Smart one”
“Angry gun one”
“Pet collector”
It’s annoying because you basically ignore all the interesting overlap
Like guess what Dick literally has a habit of collecting strays (see the rabbit and 3 legged dog he lives with in his apartment in the new run)
Tim is fucking badass and is very good at dealing with explosives
Damian is canonically currently thinking of leaving the family business and no longer being a hero to maybe focus on helping people in other ways
Jason occasionally works with magic and demon bullshit
And every single one of them is a genius okay literally every single one of them could get a masters in physics, chem, bio and history in like 2 weeks flat.
Their stats are stacked
All of them know enough info to be able to do 99% of a task and yeah someone might call Tim or Dick in for detective help or Jason for muscle and restraining backup but in 99% of cases THE OTHER CHARACTERS SHOULD BE EQUALLY competent
#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#batfam#dc fanon#like listen to me Dick Grayson once calculated how many flips he’d need to break the force of a fall#while he was falling#Jason is canonically a genius#Tim can canonically be as unhinged as Jason#sometimes I’m grateful Steph isn’t popular bc I can just ignore all the annoying fanon and focus on the fun fanon#like there’s more slay canon and funny fanon than ugh why are you like this fanon#Duke is too new in development for me to feel like he’s dealing with this#they were all trained by Bruce Wayne#do you really and truly think he’d let them have flaws?#he beat dick up bc he fucked up and died#I’m paraphrasing and mostly joking okay

i'm genuinely having so much fun writing a jock protagonist. can't believe i never tried this before. all these years i've been limiting myself needlessly
#technically he's an ex-jock#fantasy equivalent of a quarterback who peaked in high school#he was a celebrated acrobat for a while and then a sports injury took him out#now he spends his days fishing for sturgeon and falling asleep during council meetings

In my heart, Ford once went to an ice dimension and got Really Good at ice skating, and now he's absolutely insufferable about it.
#I think Ford has a bunch of random skills & everytime one comes up he has the most ridiculous yet completely true story to go along with it#in this case it involves picking a lock with his skates while scaled half way up a glacier. (he needed something for the gun dw about it)#I also think Stan would also be good re the 'Stan's Roller Skating in short shorts' lines from Dreamscapers#The difference being that Stan isn't willing to risk breaking his back for it. Unlike Ford who is already mid backflip#I know what ice skates actually look like btw. I know the blade is inaccurate. I promise. I know 🙏#Gravity Falls#Stanford Pines#Ford Pines#Grunkle#Grunkle Ford#Fan art#fanart#artists on tumblr#my art

Sometimes love is finally getting the courage to give flowers to the girl you like, because you found them growing in the meadows and they reminded you of her, wild and beautiful and free
Sometimes love is choosing to smell oniony for the day rather than telling the boy you like that you recognise the flowers he's picked for you
#the whole flower scene goes down a lot better in this au#her mother has a more supportive community to fall back on when her husband dies#and while she's obviously affected by the loss she's not blue screen catatonic like the books#so katniss isn't AS terrified of love as a result#side note: onion flowers really are very pretty i get why he picked them#though they are SMELLY AF#katniss everdeen#peeta mellark#gale hawthorne#everlark#the hunger games#rdr2#these unending skies#fanart#mcbaart

did this as a quick scribble at like 1 AM last night and...immediately lost all motivation to ever clean it up. ( ᐛ ) but I had to draw my son being the fanciest little flower boy who ever threw petals down an aisle. oh my god.
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#eternity float#eternity float of the coral sea#surprise! my art actually CAN look worse!#but i just love these fancy lads so much#like i was initially kinda 'CORAL S -- aw no merforms? :('#but i figure they're probably saving a proper underwater event for azul so whatever it's time for HYPE#especially because it looks like it might be WEDDING-THEMED(!!!)#and/or kiss the girl(!!!!!!!)#and honestly for both of those jade is actually the funniest possible ssr choice#sorry leona we found the one event that...no he would still be hilarious. dangit.#honestly though these are top-tier choices all around#if i was going to walk around a beach while jade talks endlessly at me about the legend of the mermaid princess with big sleeves#i could ask for nothing better than riddle malleus and rook to be standing there tossing flower petals at me the whole time#i know it's probably all ~algorithm-based~ or whatever they have that tells them what characters to use#but there is legit a little something i think in doing a kiss the girl theme with those three#the three guys who have some of the most trouble properly expressing themselves#and also jade who i assume just thinks they're all prime sources for hilarity#he will 100% be looking for opportunities to 'accidentally' push someone overboard#bonus points if there's a very fancy cake that they can fall into on the way down#i don't know anything about what the story will be yet but i know that much is true

alex hirsch was really just so pissed that no one saw his epic old man yaoi that he went and wrote a whole new book and made a whole website specifically to show meticulous evidence that this weird old man fucked a triangle.
he really said what were ford and bill really doing in that pocket dimension they shared, hm? did you ever think of that? oh - you think it was just chess? hm. interesting. i dont.
the ultimate rare pair shipper. i have never seen a creator do this before. absolutely fascinating at every angle.
#and he was so fucking real for that#if i created the best old man yaoi ever and people shipped fucking BILLDIP instead??????#i would devote years of my life to remedying that as fast as possible#yall dont even understand i would be irate#imagine someone shipping ur 12yo self insert with ur uncle's weird ex from another dimension#toxic yaoi fr fr#gravity falls#billford#bill cipher#ford pines#dipper pines#alex hirsch#after the owl house cancellation too ik disneys begging him for a s3#and hes holding it over their heads while curating a gravity falls mania that hasnt been seen since the tumblr dark days#my posts#text post#yes yes the angle pun was on purpose

Another “what other scenarios can I think of to make me already emotional about these two” idea
#gravity falls#stanley pines#stanford pines#stan twins#sea grunks#sketches#comic#my art#stan pines#ford pines#long post#i cant even explain how i got this idea#but that’s like most of my ideas lol#made a realization while drawing this:#that ford understands the sentiment#because he had to sort of say goodbye to stan with the memory gun#so some small parallels#or i’m just thinking too hard on it#no id

also what about an inverse twins in time au where ford went back to the 60's and stan stayed in the 80's?
Oh this is super interesting
#genuinely i think young Stanley pretends to be ford bc he thinks he’ll be blamed for it#he’s the spare Stan so he’s gotta fill in for his bro while he’s gone#his parents don’t even notice the finger thing like…#and at first Stanford doesn’t really think anything of it but#I reckon it clicks for him and he feels SO bad because are you joking???#meanwhile in the future:#stan: what do we do??#ford: I am a literal child???#and Stan is a figurative child so it evens out#ford thinks fidds is really cool though if they meet#he’s all like “I have a friend????”#:(((#my art#ask#gravity falls#twins in time au#stan pines#stanley pines#ford pines#stanford pines

Wade: *giggling over the fact Logan uses pet names for him*
Logan: Holy shit, I need to find out this guy’s name. I can’t keep calling him Bub….
#BTW HE KNOWS HIS NAME IS WADE WHEN THEY FALL OK THE KIA CARNIVAL#(edit: he actually learns his name in the cage car ride while Johnny is ranting… unless he was trying to block them out)#But before that he literally doesn’t and NO ONE calls Wade Wade#it just is so much funnier from Logan’s perspective#this whole movie#deadpool and wolverine#wolverine#deadpool#poolverine

Danny is the Tibetan Monk
So! When Bruce was travelling the world, finding masters to teach him how to fight and investigate, he came across a strange building in Tibet.
He had followed rumors of an ancient Monk who lived atop a mountain just on the edge of a Village, who had learned how to conquer Death itself, and stole its secrets for himself. Hoping to find a new Teacher, Bruce climbed the mountain and found the home of that Monk.
What he found was strange though...
The building seemed much more modern than he had been expecting, built with metal and drywall rather than ancient bricks or stones as he had assumed. There was also a strange machine on the top of the building, and if he didn't know any better he would have said it almost looked like a spaceship.
Hesitantly, he knocked on the wooden door and waited.
The man who answered looked nothing like he had expected, but so far nothing had met his expectations so he wasn't really surprised at that point. He looked relatively young, in his late 20's or early 30's, and was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans. He had short black hair, blue eyes, and pale skin that didn't exactly match the tone of the other people living in the area. In fact he looked as if he could have been an American, rather than Tibetan.
Bruce introduced himself, explained why he was there, and managed to convince the Monk that he deserved his training.
It was unorthodox, certainly very different from the training he had recieved in the League of Assasins, but the Monk said that he was well suited for this style of training.
Under the monk he learned a variety of techniques. The ability to shield his mind from Telepaths, how to Astral Project, how to completely hide his presence from others, even from those with enhanced senses, and so much more.
By the time he was finished training with the Monk, he was confident that he could finally achieve his goal of saving Gotham from itself. He bid the monk farewell, and returned to his home ready to begin the legend of the Batman.
Meanwhile Danny had just sent his most recent student off after a few months of training.
He had to do this every once in a while. There were hundreds of Liminal and Ecto-Contaminated people out there in the world who didn't know how to manage their abilities. They didn't know how to innately seperate from their physical bodies so they could more easily feed on natural Ectoplasm, or how to shield their minds from the volatile stray emotions of the people around them thay may influence their thoughts.
It was dangerous for people with that level of Ecto-Contamination to live without knowing how to keep themselves healthy. So every once in a while, Danny would find a way to contact them and to teach them all they needed to know to stay healthy.
The "Centuries Old Monk" routine was an old favorite of his for this purpose. He would intentionally spread rumors where he knew they would hear, add in some incentive like "conquering death" to make sure they would follow those rumors, and than meet them and take them under his wing.
A few of his other favorite routines were the "Circus Act who knows more than he should", "Mechanic with great advice", and sometimes even just "Life Coach" for the more conventional cases.
And if he heard Bruce's story and decided to teach him how to use a few extra useful Ghostly Abilities, like hiding your presence or merging with Shadows, then who could really judge him? The kid had taken up a huge burden, he needed all the help he could get.
Besides, its not the first time he's ever done that.
...
Years later, Bruce met Dick and found out that he also knows how to Astral Project and Guard his Mind. He couldn't merge with the shadows or hide his presence nearly as well, but he could apparently slow how fast he fell and bend in ways even bruce couldn't.
Apparently he was taught how to do so from an old member of Haley's circus, who told him that they were meditation techniques to get "in the zone" for his trapeze acts.
Then he met Jason, who could also Astral Project and Guard his mind, and he could also heal faster than normal people and read other people's emotions. He learned from a Mechanic who used to live on his street, who told him it was just some street skills that would let him avoid the people who would hurt him or give him trouble.
Then Tim came in, also with Astral Projection and a Telepath-Proof mind, and he could apparently last for weeks on end with no food or even water, and could hide his presence from even Batman. He was taught by a butler his parents had briefly hired while away from home, though Tim's parents didn't know what he was talking about when he brought it up to them later. He was told it was just a way of "keeping his spirits up" when he was alone.
Stephanie had also been taught by an old Mechanic on her street. Same as all the other she could leave her body behind and guard her mind, but she could also read emotions and convince people to do what she said. The mechanic never gave a reason for why he was teaching her, but did say that it would help her gauge the people in her life easier. He left barely a week before Steph realized her dad was the Cluemaster.
Damien was, suprisingly, trained by the same Master that Bruce had been taught by. Talia had sent him up the mounting saying that his Father had learned from the man on the mountain, and he would as well. He was taught the same as all the others, though instead of merging with Shadows like his Father he was taught how to converse with Animals.
Cass had been taught by a man while she was running from her Father. He never said why, only that it would help her live a better life. She had the "normal" abilities of Astral Projection and Guarding her Mind, but she could also Merge with Shadows and Perfectly Read other people's emotions beyond their body language.
Duke was taught by a man who had also taught other members of "We Are Robin" during the cataclysm. He said it would help them survive their attempts at heroism, though he gave Duke extra training for some reason. He had taught Duke even more than he had taught the other Bats, alongside the now typical Astral Projection and Guarding his Mind, Duke could also talk to the Dead, See into the Past, and even Phase through Walls. With enough effort he could even Fly.
A few of his abilities were attributed to his Metahuman Powers, but he claimed that they were never that powerful before that man came along.
He also said that the man "Glowed" in a strange way. He was the only one who could see it among the members of We Are Robin, even the others he had taught.
Bruce had long since decided he needed to pay his old Master a visit.

along with the tv interview, i honestly really prefer the deleted scenes version of scaryoke, but i get why they changed it to show stan working on the portal more and him giving back the journal because he knows there's no way he can keep it hidden from dipper for long
but dangit i want more drama focusing on the journals and author with all the dramatic irony in full force!!!
#gravity falls#stan pines#stanley pines#dipper pines#im fine with stan looking at either journal tho#j1 being what ford entrusted to him + the reason for their fight + a memento he pored over for decades#while j3 is what he had been searching for for ages + reveals ford at his rock bottom and#being what drew dipper and mabel into the weirdness of the town + potentially putting them in the same danger ford was in#anyway know that stan reaching for ford's hand kills me everytime!!!#it seems like the confrontation about dipper calling the agents would be a bit different here tho#since here stan still has j3 so how the heck did dipper summon the zombies

One time when Tommy and Steve were getting high together in high school, Steve turned to Tommy unprompted and said, “You know, if I was gay I think I could be in love with you.”
Tommy, with the worst case of dry mouth in all of human history, said, “Yeah?”
“Yeah, but I’m not gay,” Steve replied. He paused for a second, staring blankly up at the ceiling before adding, “Boobies, man. Boobies.”
Tommy said, “…Yeah.”
And then three years later, he hears from Carol that Steve is apparently queer and dating that freak, Eddie Munson.
It’s fine. Tommy’s been clenching his teeth ever since he heard, but it’s fine. Good for Steve, or whatever. It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care. It’s fine.
#I’m actually obsessed with Tommy just missing the opportunity#He got in his own way and now he’s on the sidelines while Steve lives his best little bisexual life#Tommy has laid in bed for years replaying that conversation because Steve literally never said anything like that again#Did he mean that he loved Tommy already?#or that if he let himself he could fall in love with Tommy?#was there a chance or was Steve just talking because he was high and had nothing else to say?#what the fuck does Eddie Munson have that he doesn’t?#steve harrington#tommy hagan
