the funny thing about tim is that he Cannot actually stay alone for any significant amount of time. like this guy will be at the lowest point in his life after half the people in his life die and still he will somehow make friends with 3 random assassins and 1 hostage. this guy is a social menace and you cannot convince me otherwise

we need less “trans women/men should be allowed in women’s/men’s spaces” and more “gender segregated spaces are inherently sexist and transphobic, and we should replace them with gender neutral spaces”

live theatre is probably the most important thing in the world

[very-tired-rat]

Theatre is an art form that has quite literally been dying for hundreds of years, but it's still here. I'm glad we agree just how important it really is.

Jason: I'm just saying that it's messed up you guys just pretended it was a costume change and not a new Robin. I died and you swept it under the rug. Like I didn't matter. Tim: I hear you, but, counter, if Rogues think they can *succeed* at killing a Robin, they're more likely to try. And to try killing other capes, too. It was a protective measure. Jason: They try to kill us all the time anyway. And it's not like it worked, they clearly all know you're the third Robin. How long did it take Joker to figure the switch out, five milliseconds? Tim: Oh no, it took him like...a few hours, maybe a couple days. I was busy I don't know the exact timeline. His face when he thought you were still alive was amazing, though. Jason: What. Tim: As I said, I was busy trying to- Jason: No no no, go back to his face. Tim: Uh...well I landed on the windshield and his eyes nearly bugged out of his head? He just started like. Screaming. "I killed you!" over and over. Just absolutely losing it. Jason: . . . Tim: Like his entire world just ended. Total meltdown. Jason: . . . Tim: I guess he figured it out eventually, or went into denial, but it's not like any of the other Rogues would listen to him after the cops had to fish him out of that sewage tank, it made him a laughingstock, so that bought us more time- Jason: When the cops had to WHAT. Tim: Uh. Jason: *Sewage tank???* Tim: We may have uh. Wound up in a showdown by some of the open tanks. And I may have. Um. Flipped the Joker into one. Jason: . . . Jason: . . . Tim: ...You okay? Jason: The Joker got tossed into a LITERAL VAT OF SHIT and I MISSED IT.

Which Batsibling would win the Hunger Games?

Dick

Jason

Tim

Damian

Steph

Duke

Voting ended onDec 13, 2023

Not putting Cass on purpose because it just wouldn't be fair.

[mzminola]

Voting for Duke; if canon powers are included, than yes our meta bat hands down no question. If no powers, just baseline human like in HG canon, than I'm torn between Duke & Tim because part of winning often comes down to "Can you get other contestants to team up for awhile?" and "How much can you convince the audience to sponsor you?" (fighting skills don't mean much if you starve or your wounds go septic).

Tim is the team-up Bat. It's his thing. He's making friends during training. Duke is the one who ran the while We Are Robin movement, which meant getting a bunch of pissed off Gotham teens to work together, and I bet that's even more cat-wrangling.

Though ultimately I don't think any Bat would win, because every single other contestant is a child-victim of a cruel system, and even the Bats without a no-kill rule would be desperately trying to save them. Only way Bats getting out alive is if an outside force ends the Games before they die, or if they manage to pull of a sweethearts thing like Katniss & Peeta did.

(If we had Cass though, and her narrative rule of never losing...our girl might punch her way through the force field.)

[soleminisanction]

I feel like a lot of people are overestimating how much contestants need charisma and teamwork to win the Games.

I personally agree with the poll -- barring the wildcard of meta powers, Damian's the most likely to win because, to be blunt, he's the most like a Career Tribute. Remember, the books focus on a tiny handful of the Games that were won by plucky underdogs in surprise twists. The vast majority of Victors weren't friendly, they were bullies. Bullies who turned to those strategies out of desperation to survive but still... bullies.

Damian was trained from a young age to be a killer and a survivor, and while he's not the world's most charismatic guy, he doesn't have to be nice to earn respect in the Arena. The Capitol would lap up his arrogance and confidence, especially when paired with a high training score, and he'd have his pick of pack mates by virtue of his combat skills alone. Assuming he even needed or wanted them, since his base skills do lend themselves quite well to the strategy of hiding from everyone. And he's the most likely out of the group to be able to reason his way through prioritizing his own survival over that of the other Tributes, if only in the moment while he's in the Arena -- he'd no doubt regret it afterwards but, as we've seen a few times in the comics, that training's pretty deeply ingrained.

Whereas Tim feels the most likely to be a Peeta-esque underdog win for the reasons everybody else has stated -- he's the team-up Robin, and a diplomat who knows how to work a crowd, but he could never bring himself to kill anybody so he'd only win if everybody else got taken out by the Gamemasters and he was the only one who managed to survive.

Dick's in a similar position, though he might get the accidental Finnick Odair boost of being so hot he steals all the sponsors, but he'd feel really bad about it. Duke's the long shot, he's got solid all-around skills and it'd depend pretty much entirely on the situation he was dropped into.

*inhale*

Anything Tim says about Jason while he was Robin before Jason comes back is not about Jason at all.

The first time you see Tim thinking about Jason, he is admiring him and it's in a very specific, very relevant way.

"A normal kid...like me"

Tim is very much of the opinion that Dick Grayson is someone extremely exceptional and that Dick's performance as Robin is not something he can live up to.

So

Dick = exceptional Jason = like me Jason = dead How do I not = dead

It's not about Jason, it's about Tim desperately trying to give himself some agency over his ability to not die. It's about convincing himself that he hasn't made a terrible fucking decision. Because you know who is kinda naturally reckless? Tim. So he thinks "if I'm going to be reckless here, I'm going to die"

He is preemptively blaming himself for his own hypothetical death

It isn't about Jason, whom he did not know at all

And sick to death of people exclusively blaming the one person who said shit about Jason's death that was both 1) a kid and 2) didn't personally know Jason and therefore 3) had zero way to know better about how Jason actually behaved

Double sick of people trying to claim Tim came up with this all on his own "before" anyone else said anything to him. Who do you think told him how Jason died? God? Tim wasn't there!

Was there a problem with the narrative framing not giving the impression that Jason fully being reckless was wrong? Yes. That was, in fact, a problem. Direct the issue at that problem. Thank you.

[rizztaglia]

Scrolling through threads and for every time i see somebody suggest for Tim to get his own hero identity (as if Tim hadn't turned Robin into it's own seperate hero idenitiy and taking it from him would be like undermining nearly every single thing he did to forge a seperate identity out of robin that didn't necessarly rely on Batman on its own) i want us to take a shot.

Hi new Tumblr users

Please know this sites hashtagging system is categorical and NOT clout based

Aka if I look up the “Wendell and Wild” tag, I should find clips, media, art and posts related to Wendell and wild ONLY. Same with any other random tag searched

If I spy a selfie, a random neighborhood, or any other kind of “insta” post trying to take likes for a popular hashtag, I’m reporting you for spam. Most other long term users will too and your acct will be fast tracked as a spam blogger and blocked.

You will not ruin the last non corporate site for us, especially by trying to treat this site like influencers matter. If you get popular, it’s bc you’re a clown w a skill not bc your hot or rich or skinny, got it?

[honestlyvan]

#holy shit at people in the notes this isn't 'tyrannical' it's basic courtesy AND against the tos #the spam report button is easily accessible for this exact reason #cross tagging is absolutely reportable spam according to tos so just don't do it #it also doesn't get you any more notes it just pisses people off

[findingfeather]

Like for real guys: This is against TOS. It is not allowed. It is spam. IT is not less spam because you are not a botfarm. Don't do it.

[delicatefury]

People (me) will report you for this (I will). If you are spamming the tags, someone (again, me) will click the little report button (and I will enjoy doing it) every time they (I) see your unrelated posts clogging their (my) search.

Do not tempt me.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

I will add that nine times out of ten, it is obviously, verifiably spam. Like, links to random websites, porn, ads for shit, scams, all that jazz.

So if I see your post in the mix, I will treat it the exact same way.
