Every single time I think of Edwin’s confession at the top of the staircase, I get so emotional because of the way Edwin sounds. I’ve never heard a line delivered as perfectly as his “Charles I’m in love with you.” It makes me ache and I feel violently ill every single time I hear it. For so many reasons. He sounds afraid, ashamed, heartbroken, and at the same time it sounds like it’s something that he’s always known despite just realizing it. It breaks my heart and makes me cry. I love Edwin.

I wish people understood Tim Drake as more than just “sleep deprived coffee addict cinnamon bun.” He is such a deep and complex character when you actually look into who he is. Yea he’s missing a spleen, but he’s also, a fighter, a genius, Robin by choice, obsessed with his best friend, founder of atleast one team, kinda insane, a nepo baby twice, the worlds youngest ceo, and possibly a better detective than Batman. You also get the other side of mischaracterization which paints him out to be the “obedient” Robin, which makes him lame apparently. But no, sure he follows Batman’s rules, he idolized the guy for his whole life basically. That and he cherished the role of Robin a lot. Despite that, he lies and disobeys Batman constantly. He isn’t boring, he’s just older than the other two when they started and therefore more mature. He didn’t want to lose the Robin mantel by being too stupid in the field. But bro goes off and does dumb shit all the time, he fucking went after two face WITH NO TRAINING, he just put on the suit and went after Batman and Dick. And the whole Joker Jr. thing?? Don’t even get me started on him as Red Robin, that’s a whole different post.

Bernard and Tim both being little creeps is so important to me. They match each others freak in ways I fear many wouldn’t. They both were obsessed Robin and Batman, they can bond over being weird, but Bernard is a conspiracy theory creep and Tim is a stalker creep and I love them both.

Modern Batman comics talking about when Jason Todd was Robin: He was brutal. Unstable. I should've seen the signs... done a better job of training him... raising him...

When Jason Todd was actually Robin:

The Cat King is such a good “villain”. He isn’t traditionally evil, but to Edwin he is evil and predatory. We aren’t supposed to like him until the end. He is everything Edwin needs in a villain. The Cat King isn’t ashamed to be queer, different, sexual, everything that Edwin wishes he were not. He represents what his parents and society told him was evil. Being like the Cat King is what got Edwin murdered. Despite being so evil we grow to see him and Edwin kind of bond, especially after Edwin confesses. Accepting the Cat King as a tentative ally shows that Edwin has accepted his queerness as well. This show is chock full of metaphors for being queer and I love it.

Duke is so interesting to me bc he’s the only member of the member of the unofficial/offcial(?) Batfam who has metapowers. He is rarely seen using them as far as I’ve read, but I haven’t consumed much media with him in it. I want to explore his character more, if any1 has suggestions lemme know :))

I was trying to enjoy season 3 of young justice, but of course I had to have Dickbabs shoved in my face. Like seriously, THEY DID NOT HAVE TO KISS FOR 30 WHOLE SECONDS. I will never submit to the Dick/Barbara agenda. I love them both as characters, but as lovers? Fuck no.

They really had me thinking that Impulse had a big gay crush on Jaime/Blue Beetle, but nOoOoOo. LAME

What I want for season two of dead boy detectives is for a guy to flirt with Charles like Monty did with Edwin. Nothing overtly sexual like the cat king, but very clearly flirting. I think Charles would be like “Wow, he’s talking to me like I talk to Edwin! He must want to be best mates :)” and then crystal points out he’s obviously flirting with Charles and Charles is just like “no??? That’s how I’m with Edwin! Purely platonic best mates™️” Charles then thinks for more than a minute and realizes “shit, am I flirting with Edwin???” and then even more frantically “shit, do I want to be flirting with Edwin???”

Spoiler the answer is yes to both of those questions. He promptly freaks out and tells both the girls about it… they are unamused

Well shit.

I was explaining my unfathomable love for Charles to a friend who has not watched the show and bro's first and foremost reaction was "why is he so twink?" I cannot do this anymore. Why is he so twink????

‼️TRIGGER WARNINGS: Mentions of abuse and scars

Charles probably has many scars. His relationship with them would most likely be a sense of disgust. Those marks to him are a constant reminder of his trauma and the feeling that despite everything, he was never good enough. They let everyone know how he failed, how he couldn’t stop what happened, how he suffered.

When Edwin and him start dating, Edwin would finally sees these scars. He’d trace them like Charles would trace lines between Edwin’s freckles. They are the waves in the ocean of Charles’ soul. Never once thinking that they make Charles any lesser, but instead make him who he is. He’d kiss them and tell Charles how beautiful he is. At first Charles flinches away, the skin too raw, too sensitive, the ghost of his father’s belt being the last thing to touch that spot. Slowly Charles lets Edwin replace the memories that skin holds with new ones of passion and love and acceptance. Charles would never grow to like his scars, truthfully Edwin doesn’t *like* them particularly, but Edwin likes everything about Charles so they are no different.
