[batfamhyperfixation]

Tim had his spleen removed, right. This means he would not be able to withstand bacterial infection as well (a.k.a. getting sick, which happens a lot when people get injured or sleep deprived cause their immune system weakens), so for his own safety, he would likely take care of himself more than the other bats would care for themselves. He probably wouldn't get in a fight he knows he would badly lose, or win but get very injured during. Tim would be the calm and calculating one. He already is deemed as smart and a great detective, so that makes him even scarier.

He gets a reputation as a vigilant far more dangerous from his siblings, cause he perches like a bird above the fight, but if he gets involved, then the villains know they're goners. If it's Dick, Jason, Steph, Cass, even Damian and Batman himself, people don't get as intimidated, but should Tim come in, they back off so fast. In this essay I will...

#like if you are gonna fanon Tim #fanon him right #the boy is not a self-sacrificing never-sleeping always-taking-risks person #he is a repremand-bruce-when-hes-injured wordlessly-hands-you-a-bandaid stands-on-the-side-watching-the-stupid-stunt 'I told you so' bitch #he is safe and judgemental about those who aren't (his whole family) and he is a bitch about it #tim drake #tim drake robin #tim drake red robin #tim drake headcanon #when someone in the family gets sick Tim starts having panick attacks and refuses to touch them or anything they touch #when covid hit Tim literally spiraled and ran away to a safe house. he hand sanitized everything. he double masked with those quality masks #Tim was that person who screamed at people not wearing masks and if someone looks sick he will barely touch them and handsantize constantly #he always has those little travel bottles of hand sanitizer on his person #i just think Tim would have contamination ocd especially after his spleen is removed #like he doesnt like to touch people or be in crowded places because of this and he likes cleaning cause it makes him feel more in control

[image description: six colorful masks in the style of Commedia Dell’arte. The first is red with golden swirls, a red ribbon and spikes reminiscent of a crown, and is labelled ‘IL PRINCIPE’. The second is light blue with a rainbow string, upquirked eyes, and a single tear running down the side of the face, labelled ‘PADRE’. The third, blue and blocky with simple geometric designs, labelled ‘INSEGNANTE’. The fourth, black with a spiked birdlike nose, shading beneath the eye holes, and patchwork violet details, labelled ‘INQUIETO’. The fifth is a yellow halfmask with snakelike decals and a crack that runs across the bottom, lavelled ‘IL SERPENTE’. The final mask is green and grotesque, with a large nose, huge eyes, and a moustache, and spiky wires emerging from the top - labelled ‘IL DUCA’. End image description]

A continuation of the thoughts from my post about AU fanfiction as modern Commedia Dell'arte - here's the sides as vaguely Commedia-esque masks. Presenting: the archetypal cast of Commedia dell'lati!

IL PRINCIPE, the prince, a more thoughtful descendant of the swaggering Il Capitano archetype. He's often seen with his distinctive red sash, and occasionally a bladed weapon. Il Principe is prideful, sometimes to a fault, and deeply romantic.

PADRE, the father, representing family values and an apparent moral compass. Often played as somewhat naive or foolish - sometimes portrayed at hiding something more devious beneath that, depending on the show and situation. He's recognizable by his fondness for wordplay, and his cheerful attitude.

INSEGNANTE, the teacher, the unlistened-to voice of reason, the provider of exposition. His misunderstandings of common metaphorical phrases are frequently the source of comic relief. It's a common plot point for him to be pushed to his limit and snap, revealing genuine emotion behind his mask of impenetrable reason.

INQUIETO, the restless one - the devil's advocate, quick to voice the negatives of a situation and recommend doing something, anything else. Often takes the role of 'jerk with a heart of gold' - frequently is the recipient of misfortune. A key part of his character is his sharp wit and sarcasm against every other member of the cast.

IL SERPENTE, the snake, is cunning and deceptive by nature. He will often emerge onto the stage in the guise of another character, having stolen their mask offstage. The inevitable reveal where he produces his true mask and slots it onto his face is always met with delighted applause. Il Serpente was originally often depicted as the villain of many productions and still sometimes is, although many recent shows have taken to treating him in a much more sympathetic light.

Finally, IL DUCO, the duke - the brother and mirrored counterpart of Il Principe. Some shows choose to tone down his original conception as a graphic and grotesque provider of foul language in order to make him easier to portray, or easier to sympathize with. Other shows turn up the crassness all the way, and make him downright villainous in nature. Il Duco is, chronologically, the most recent addition to the archetypes, but has quickly found his way into being a beloved and fascinating part of many performances.

One of the things separating the more modern Commedia dell'lati from its predecessor, Commedia dell'arte, is its willingness to play with character dynamics. The plots and settings are never certain from one show to the next, and neither are the relationships between the characters. Il Serpente and Inquieto could be in a committed relationship on one stage, and at each other's throats fighting to the death on another - although, it should be noted, the two are never mutually exclusive. Sometimes the morality of characters are black-and-white, sometimes it's all in strokes of grey, but it's all in the name of exploring new aspects of these beloved familiar archetypes.

Everything's fluid when it comes to Commedia dell'lati - but always recognizable, however distant.

#my art #long post #sanders sides #commedia dell'arte #i'm just... VERY delighted by how commedia group dynamics mirror side group dynamics #also apologies if i got any italian stuff wrong! i double-checked as best i could but internet translations ain't perfect #i would have done the other common fanon characters (like Remy and Picani and the rest) but i couldn't think of good enough mask designs #....and of course Character!Thomas isn't common enough in AUs to get a mask of his own #if he ever shows up on stage he's recognizable by the lack of mask or a flower tucked behind the ear

Okay I’m sorry but I can’t stop:

What if Jirou and Shouji who were on the forums and they recognize Izuku because let’s be real there are only so many people who fit ‘my mom refused to admit I had a Quirk as she thought it villainous and it’s like this’ and Izuku rings all the bells. Those two would just vibe so hard with him and be great friends. They’d step in when Bakugou loomed and would redirect when others commented on Izuku’s red eyes after screaming matches with his mother. Not to mention other musical members of the class!!

And like Hizashi still who cares so deeply for this kid. Who listens and helps and just… Izuku would so be calling them Yama or Bibi, or whatever soon enough even if it’s just in his head. And ahhhhh…

I’m sorry I’m just really excited for Bard!Izuku. It’s so much fun and I can imagine Izuku switching between hundreds of different instruments trying to find one that works in battle. (Violin is nice but it’s one that can’t be fully reinforced like it should be. A flute works but it’s a bit boring… just trying to find the perfect one for him.)

It would take them all of three ish minutes into the first day of UA for them to individually clock Izuku as on of their long time Internet friends which hilariously enough makes them clock each other as the same as well (mutant sound quirks were fare less rare than Izuku’s situation after all). Just a circle of spiderman pointing before the ease of years of friendship kicks in and wipes away the initial awkwardness. (Kyoka, who has been swearing as much violence as the mods allowed on Izuku’s bullies for years, also clocks Bakugou. She and Shouji are quick to close ranks around their friend after that, both of them silently promising to protect their friend now that they’re able to do so in person and not behind a computer screen.)

Hizashi who recognizes all three of them from what little spare time they can spend on the forum themself and makes their own promise to help all of them become the best heroes they can be, and intends on starting that process with getting Izuku out of that damn house.

I’m also really excited about bard zuku it’s a lot of fun!

Nanxnxnsnsnsbsbsb!!!!!!! ADVENTURE TIME STYLE AXE GUITAR FOR IZUKU

#the elf talks #mha #bnha #bard zuku #the guitar is green because of course it is #it’s mostly blunt #mostly anyway #not double sided but also sturdy enough that bonk is a viable option without breaking the instrument #Izuku probably also has at least a half mask kind of like the persona chords that both serves as protection and as a speaker #many ideas for his hero costume

“not you too.” she is so done with rufus, she just wants to find a way out of the hole she’s dug herself in

#vera subtlety changed sides to victor after rufus got a fake mask and then not subtlety threatened her life #remember his whole ‘or you will enter the afterlife the old fashioned way’ #besides the god talk was waaaaayy too much for her #she’s more of a catwoman type; in it for the jewels and money not some weird ritual shit #so she figures to stick w victor who she’s safer with to get the mask and double cross rufus #that is until her cover is blown #i never watch hha but i do know that in that one vera dies w rufus via amneris #was she also half on victor’s side or was that letter she left him a just icoe if she had to go back to him some time in the future? #i say i never watched it but then i say i know about that #i found english subtitled links but there’s SO many episodes that i got curious over the finales to see how different they might be to hoa #so i just watchef those and wow. just wow. yup. vv different. #thats not a bad thing. i just wasn’t expecting to see dutch corbierre explode and the kids live to tell about it #i also like that nienke wasnt the chosen one vv different and cool and we can treat hoa like some english au of ‘hey what if she was?’ #this is too long for a vera clip #house of anubis #hoa #victor rodenmaar jr #vera devenish

my favorite thing to do is to have a character gain weight when they are healthy and safe 👍 also i needed to figure out what Kaine's build should actually look like compared to Peter, so I was like, may as well go all the way in and show his different weights.

technically this is for the scar reference I'm making (very slowly) but I figured it would stand on its own fine, so here it is.

#i'll be real he usually only goes double dutch in the mask (if ever) but i think it's cute lol #is this... too embarrassing to tag... I need it for organization though #kaine parker #nadiart #fanadiart #rough art #came in through the window last night #kaine does not have a receding hairline btw that's a scar combined w/ a widow's peak lmao i just didn't put a lot of detail down #his hairline comes much further forward on the right side of his head

think if i do decora kei!jacket again, i'm gonna try and find a cheap pair of black circle sunglasses so i can replace the mesh in the eyes. visibility in that thing isn't so great and if i'm honest the mesh is kinda uggy in pics

#would also like to invest in a more realistic rooster mask if i ever decide to do a more serious jacket cosplay. If. #quiet honestly if i do i think i wanna give a go at making my own jacket for it; think it'd be fun to give it a fun lining on th inside #or even make it double sided so i can have two jackets in one #but i'm getting ahead of myself heheh #i think i'll need more sewing practice before i can definitively make that a reality #anyways! this is mostly a reminder to myself to: #1). fix my jacket's piece bc it got kinda busted up after animer riverside #2). get those sunglasses i was talking abt + some E6000 #and 3). look up some easier sewing projects to get myself more used to it #.txt

However, like many more people than you might imagine, he had a quite other and secret side to his character.

i changed the rewrite margins and it's a lot better now! :D

#it's a lot shorter now too! ;) #it went from 484 to just 440 pages! #and chapter 31 starts on 472 in the original... and 427 in this one! ;D #my stories with double digit page counts are SWEATING at that! #luckily the gutters won't need to be as big for those so i'm sure the length won't shorten that much! ;) #a shorter length is much more important for a big boi like the rewrite! #edit: that might be too many words per line now! :o #'angel's mask' has the same line length and it has 11-13 words per line #the original rewrite has 16 and this one is 18! :o #so maybe i'll leave the original right side crop and leave the gutter #that'll make it the original length while having enough room for the binding! ;) #the world of books is more than i imagined!

I think about the two sides of Mapleshade’s ending so much.

Like the idea of the death of her kits, murders, and own death going on the make a Queen’s Right thing is SO COOL I just eat that up (recommend bonefall’s au he did this and it’s sick)

But also the idea of either never being found out and just living her life know her kids aren’t Birchface’s but raising that way, lying to her whole new family, and still living. Is incredibly interesting. Or the idea of her running off to the farm and raising her kits there.

#I think about her and I love her #so interesting tho #I think like from a lore spot and building the word her whole situation causing a form of Queen’s Rights is better #but also the idea of her just slowly growing old and having the secret of her kits true father… so good #esp bc it’s mapleshade and the whole time she doesn’t feel shame or guilt. she got a great opportunity to make her kits related to the #leader and beloved by the whole clan for their supposed father #it’s a gift from the stars. securing her spot as a great cat #gosh imagine the idea of Tigerclaw actually being the child of one of her kits. ooooo that’s cool #he learns as a apprentice about his parents real parentage and half clan blood #his whole world ripped apart #while cats smile and saw how much he resembles the poor Birchface he knows he doesn’t. he’s not that blood he’s related to his supposed #grandpa’s killer #this is how he learns to run a double life. his whole evil reign built on two sides #keeping up his squeaky clean mask and doing evil deeds when no one’s looking #kinda love this now #maple’s blood au #idk maybe I’ll expand on it… maybe #mapleshade #Tigerclaw #Birchface #appledusk #ruse rambles

for me adulthood is owning so many different types of tapes and scissors

#got that cellotape; masking tape; double-sided tape; parcel tape; washi tape and am ordering framing tape right now #paper scissors; fabric scissors; embroidery scissors; nail scissors; kitchen scissors; pinking shears; hair scissors #is this normal? or do people usually not bother with so much specific situation stationary #edit: forgot medical(?) tape (the one you wrap bandages with)

i actually do kinda like delivering groceries on the side because it gives me such a unique cross-section of the community. i never know whose groceries im shopping for until i finish the delivery and see them/their home and it's like it adds more detail to the picture of who they are. the baby supplies going to the apartment that i know for a fact is one bedroom (they'll be moving soon - i bet they're apartment hunting, i hope they find a place). the new cat litter box, bowl, and kitten food going to the house covered in "i <3 my dog" paraphernalia (a kitten definitely showed up on the porch recently and made itself at home). the fairly healthy boring grocery order that includes an incongruous tub of candy-filled ice cream going to the home of an elderly woman with toddler toys in the yard (it's clearly for her grandkids, whom she sees often).

shopping for someone else's groceries is a fairly intimate thing. i've bought condoms and pregnancy tests, allergy medicine and nyquil, baby benadryl and teething gel, a huge pile of veggies paired with an equally huge pile of junk food, tampons and shampoo and closet organizers and ant traps and deodorizing shoe inserts and a million other little things that tell a million different stories in their endless combinations. one time someone had me buy one single green bean. i messaged them to confirm that's actually what they wanted, and they said yes - neither of them liked green beans very much, but they had a baby they were introducing to solid foods, and they wanted to let him try one to see if he liked them. another time i had someone request 50 fresh roma tomatoes - not for a restaurant, but for a person in an apartment. the kitchen behind them smelled like basil and garlic when they opened the door. another time i brought groceries to three elderly blind women who share a house. that was one of the few times i have ever broken my rule and gone inside a place i've delivered to, because they asked if i could place the grocery bags in a specific location in the kitchen for them to work on unloading and there was no way i was going to refuse helping.

i gripe about the poor tippers, but people can also be incredibly kind. one time i took shelter from a sudden vicious hailstorm inside an older lady's home in a trailer park, while i was in the middle of delivering her groceries. we both huddled just inside the door, watching in shock as golf-ball-sized hail swept through for about five minutes and then disappeared. she handed me an extra $10 bill on my way out the door.

when covid was at its deadliest, people would leave extra (often lysol-scented) cash tips and thank-you notes for me taped to the door or partially under the mat. i especially loved the clearly kid-drawn thank you notes with marker renderings of blobby people in masks, or trees, or rainbows. in summer of 2020 i delivered to a nice older couple who lived outside of town in the hills, and they insisted i take a huge double handful of extra disposable gloves and masks to wear while shopping - those were hard to find in stores at the time, but they wanted me to have some of their supply and wouldn't take no for an answer.

anyway. all this to say people are mostly good, or at least trying to be, despite my complaints.
