none of the wayne boys are sports fans
sure, they'll go to a game for fun, but
Duke loves hockey
and suddenly, Tim, Dick, Jason, and Damian are burdened with figuring out how hockey actually works
I have to be honest. As much as I love making fun of Bruce and Tim, I think that they’re more talented than fanon makes them out to be.
Like, the point of Batman as a character is that he’s unrealistic. It would be a very boring story if they made it realistic. Yeah, realistically, he’s not prepared for everything, but this isn’t realistic! This is a silly comic series about a man who has sent a box of live bats to another human being more than once!
I want that unrealism! I want Bruce to be able to get out impossible situations because he saw them coming! I want his convoluted, dumbass plans to work flawlessly! I want his plan to “fail” only for him to wink at the camera, revealing that failing was also in the plan!!
Batman is such a comforting character! I’m always “How’s he gonna get outta this one” instead of “Can he get outta this one” and it’s very nice!
He’s lame, he’s cringe, he’s the worst, he’s the dumbest man alive, but Bruce Wayne is never surprised and that brings me a great amount of comfort and joy.
Tim is the same way. I don’t want to think about a realistic fifteen-year-old being Robin, I want to think about the unrealistic ability Tim has to be completely unnoticed even by those with super-hearing. I want Tim to inexplicably think of every possibility and have a million contingencies, and while Tim does get surprised, he’s the most adaptable person on the planet, he can remake his plan in milliseconds!
I don’t want to think about Tim or Bruce failing or whatever. I want Tim and Bruce to inexplicably be all-knowing. Batman has managed to beat up Superman more than once, Robin xan inexplicably punch like a bullet through fucking water, and they both are billionaires with souls, do you really think I’m reading these comics for realism?
Achilles: Do you like-like me or just like me as a friend?
Patroclus: *exasperated* I literally just railed you. What do you think?
tim: batman keeps putting me in various saw traps as a training tactic and i guess it’s working because i can pick locks pretty good but the nightmares have gotten so bad i started sleep walking and sometimes i wake up in the middle of a field with no recollection of how i got there
bart: roy said i can’t babysit lian anymore because last time i taught her the chemical compounds of arsenic and he didn’t think it was very funny
kuboyasu definitely knows how to braid hair
just noticed something in hobies intro...
before he enters the scene, this is the messaging broadcast all across his london:
OBEY. DO NOT QUESTION. CONSUME.
on every screen and surface and outlet, thats the message ordered by the government and the media and the system. to conform. to follow orders. to submit. to live and die by the establishment.
then after Hobie enters the scene with his unauthorized political action art pieces and, figuratively and literally, disrupts the narrative, the message, his message, rewrites it all and changes it all to
FREEDOM. JOY. LIVE FREE. LOVE EACH OTHER.
KINDNESS AND FREEDOM is the battlecry and message Hobie brings to his world as Spider-Man.
Kindness is Punk.
kindness and freedom despite everything IS punk. and Hobie destroying the system with that is so fucking powerful and beautiful. he is the embodiment of punk, and its not just an aesthetic. even if he wasnt aesthetically punk, he would still be punk because punk IS his character, it is his values, his morals, his message.
gods i just keep finding more reasons to love Hobie so deeply. he's genuinely one of, if not, the most inspiring character i have ever witnessed in media.
it’s very Annabeth to be stabbing something in our first real look at her
Percy Jackson teaser + tweets
okay, but percy being poseidon's kid gives him so many advantages that we probably never thought of. like, this boy can probably chew ice like it's no one's business, and not hurt his teeth. he can probably drink straight from the ocean without having to boil it beforehand. he has never choked on his spit in his life. he can probably run on wet, slippery floors and not fall. like, the possibilities are endless. i deadass would love a list.
percy and annabeth being an unstoppable force in capture the flag. like, to the point where if a camper spots only one of them, they panic because where is the other one?
Adult Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are the most surreal power couple in the mortal world.
