My favorite thing about the gideon the ninth/tlt fandom is the way everyone talks about the characters.
In every other fandom it's like "ugh, my perfect child. They are so cute and wonderful and I will always protect them."
But in tlt, it's like "oh no, my sopping wet bundle of overused pipe cleaners is in psychosis again. She's sweating blood and hasn't slept in 4 days. And look, over there, it's my traumatized butch lesbian corpse with literal god-tier daddy issues once again fumbling the bag with a beautiful woman. She's a complete gay disaster. They both have never and maybe will never know peace. They desperately need therapy. Shipping them is like standing in the middle of an active nuclear explosion with your mouth open and arms spread. Yes, they are my comfort characters."
Featuring guest appearances by: "There's the gangly pale evil one. Whenever she's present on the page my skin feels too tight on my bones in a really unpleasant way. She's my favorite, and I think she's eating someone's earlobe right now."
first date w benkeiii and why it didnot end in hooking up😂...
To put it simple: my Demisexual ass could never do casual sex 😔✌️
But our first date was really cute. He took me on a picnic in the park so we could watch the sun set but oh man. It was ruined by a bunch of ducks attacking us for our food and Benkei ended up spilling wine over my cute dress when one of those little devils randomly bit his arm. Man had to carry me on his back so they won't nip at me. But we just ordered pizza and watched a movie at his place, he drove me home after and gave me the softest kiss ever before he left.
So my friend and i have been talking and our biggest fear is not the love triangle is Ben being scared to be the "second choice" and that breaking them apart for the majority of s4
the real reason that tim can't age over 18 is because if he did, dick would have an existential crisis about how old *he* is. wdym tim, who was 13 when dick met him, is 21 now. if tim has been doing this for 8 years, how long has dick been doing this for? wdym tim is legally old enough to drink now? if *that's* true then dick's no longer 25. when did dick suddenly get so close to 30. that's not a thing that's real. *his* annoying little brother isn't that old because dick's not that old. he hasn't really been working here for going on 20 years, right? can't be, because he just started here two days ago.
so yea, tim's not older than 17. who are you trying to kid here? dick's not gullible. he won't fall for your lies.
what utter nonsense are you going to try to tell him next? that damian's in high school or something? he's onto you.
On the one hand yeah, Tim faking a temporary disability to get Vicki Vale off his back as she tries to prove he’s Red Robin is ethically dubious. But like... vision impairments are a disability, which means in continuities where the glasses don’t block out his excessive sensory input and he’s not claiming they’re a fashion statement, Superman is faking a disability every time he goes out as Clark Kent. So if we’re gonna be all “Tim wtf” we should also go “Clark wtf”.
On the much more interesting hand, asplenia is also a disability, which the writers canonically gave Tim. While he totally can be a vigilante with it, he needs to take more precautions than he would otherwise, and it wouldn’t be too hard to convince the general Gotham public that actually no, Tim Drake-Wayne being asplenic means he’s definitely not Red Robin, Vicki, what are you smoking, don’t you know how often the vigilantes get tossed in Gotham Harbor? Do you know what’s in that water?
Which means that now I want an AU in which instead of faking getting shot, Tim just has Wayne Enterprises launch an Asplenia Awareness campaign in conjunction with the Martha Wayne Foundation starting a program to get other asplenic Gothamites their antibiotics, throws a bunch of fundraisers for it, and stares Vicki Vale dead in the eyes while taking his new meds on camera.
