mmm. maybe it's just cause im a little loser and I remember the things Icarus has said *very* well sometimes (probably too well, honestly) - but considering today's lore and the fact Icarus is in it, based upon what sherb has said, I'm going to bring this particular thing they said in like king, like prince back up. because. Yeah. "The next time dad is around here, I am going out. I am doing *something.*" im sure that will have no implications for lore today. nope. none at at. Icarus is going to be fine :)

absolutely in love with Tim's relationship with Damian and all of its nuances and everything you can do with it
They're alike, they couldn't be more different. They want the same thing, they don't want what the other wants. They love each other, they hate each other. They want to be brothers, they don't want to get along. They understand the weight of being Robin, they don't understand anything about being heroes.

Here's the thing about cats.
I see so many people talking about how they would like a dog but "cats are just easier" and I'm here to say that they are not???
They are complex, intelligent creatures, who have more independent mannerisms than dogs, so people tend to leave them to their own devices, but by nature of the dynamic between pet owner and pet, they cannot meet all of their needs on their own.
If anything, learning to communicate with cats takes MORE effort because building trust with a cat is not a given, nor is it commonly discussed. The necessity of that trust is undermined by so many pet owners, probably because they are harder to force into doing things than dogs are. (That, and the expression of their needs are far less overt than the communication of a dog's needs.)
This means that ensuring that a cat feels safe when learning to work with their owner, and that takes LOTS of time. It takes a commitment to listening to their needs.
Cats (arguably all pets) require autonomy to feel safe.
But they need to go outside.
They need to be taught consensual socialization with humans.
They need enrichment from their owner.
They need to be taught how to set boundaries. (Which requires their boundaries to be listened to first.)
They need to be taught, in safe environments first, how to accept invasive touch from the vet.
They, like their owners, need to learn how to communicate effectively, and the only way to teach them that in consensual ways requires time and effort.
Obviously (and if it's not obvious spend like 5 minutes of your time researching before deciding to take on the care of an entire life) it's fucked up to just allow your cat to freely roam the outdoors because it shortens their lifespans Considerably and wreacks havoc on the local ecosystem.
Which means IF YOU HAVE A CAT. You Need To Work With It so you can take it outside. Contrary to popular belief, cats can be trained to walk quite happily outside on a harness and lead; they can be worked with so they feel safe enough to sit in a little cat backpack so you can carry them outside.
They need to trust that if they want you to stop touching them you will. They need to trust that if you have to touch them when they don't want to be touched, that it will always, without fail, be for their own health and safety.
They can learn what "Yes" and "No" means to the same degree a toddler can understand those concepts. They can learn how to 'say' "yes" and "no".
But only if they are respected and listened to and worked with.
They aren't just extra roommates. They are a little creature under the care of their owner.

I was going through an old story outline that I basically abandoned but I found these hilarious (to me at least)

This isn't like, claiming that Christianity can't be a brutally oppressive force on Western people, but trust me when I say that people from the United States are not Christians, they're nationalists. Your Christianity is literally fucking insane and any Christian from anywhere else in the world thinks that all your Christians are on fucking crack.
Literally asked the most right-wing, ultra Christian person I know (my grandma, who is a proud fascist who wants a dictator back in Spain pfff) and she called y'all Nationalistic cultists. Like.
At what point do we just point out that they don't worship "god" or "jesus" but your nation?
