So, I know there are plenty of iconic nicknames for Dick — particularly “the Boy Wonder” — during his time as Robin. All of those are great. Very cute. Very wholesome.

However, I think we need to bring back “devil-child with the laughing eyes”.

Is it a mouthful? Yes. Does it convey every single aspect of Dick’s character at that age? Immaculately so. He’s mischievous. He’s dangerous. But he’s silly and gleeful while doing it, and always laughing. Just… hopefully not at you.

(And, if he isn’t silly or gleeful, if he isn’t laughing… run.)

I wish I was a female tiger because then if I was talking to someone and I was getting off topic I could say “but I tigress,” and then kill and eat them because I am a tiger

Sometimes, I need to take photos for work.

Sometimes, those photos need to be taken underneath vehicles. This is difficult as underneath a vehicle is very dark, but metal is very reflective, which makes using a flashlight both necessary and an issue.

Now, my favorite manager once said of me, "look at her. she burns if she looks at the forecast for too long" which is the meanest and truest thing ever said about my complexion.

Did I, partially as a joke, try to diffuse the flashlight beam off the underside of my forearm in order to get pictures underneath a truck once? Yes. Did it work? Also yes.

When I explained how I got the photos to my (different) manager, he looked at me and said very tiredly, "that is the saddest thing I've ever heard."

"oh no it's even worse than that," I assured him, and proceeded to remove my watch to show him my tan lines.

He was very distressed about this for months.

The most obsession inducing trait a character can have for me is knowing somewhere in their heart That They Are A Bad Kid

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

This isn't necessarily literal. It can apply to characters who aren't children too. But there's something about characters who are either certain of the fact, or terrified of the possibility, that they are just fundamentally wrong and bad at their core

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

It is also important to me that it is not true. No one is fundamentally broken and evil.

Yk the effect when the canon is so sad the fandom is silly and when the canon is cute the fandom is angsty?

Then wtf is going on with Bruce fans that people see this miserable man and want him to suffer even more?

[butterflywordsmith]

I feel so called out. The more I love him the more I want to torment him.

I love fandom bullshit because if someone asked me who my favorite PHM character was, it wouldn’t even be a PHM character. It would be a tie between a blood-soaked fish guy from a completely different movie, and a committee of alien OCs engaged in an increasingly ridiculous series of faux pas shenanigans

[gh0stm0b]

And I did it.

Decided on a whim to do a stardew run as Oliver Queen! My goal is to make all of the recipes so I can get his hat, LMAO

Not gonna lie this makes me a bit irritated. Here's the real version of this photo:

Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."

It wasn't a guy being cheeky about sex in an ambiguous, cute way. It was a man stating, in no uncertain terms, that a whole state of the United States considered him a criminal for being homosexual.

You might be frustrated by the library never having a complete manga collection on its shelves at any given time, but the 12 year old checking out 14 volumes of One Piece at once is vital to the library ecosystem. He's like the sea otter keeping the kelp forest from being devastated by an excess of sea urchins.

To those curious some other keystone library species include:

—the retirees who’ve read more murder mysteries than I’ve had hot meals

—the paperback romance girlies (gender neutral) who check out every single bodice ripper the second it hits the shelves

—the dads very slowly making their way through a ‘1001 movies to see before you die’ list

—the one-man criterion collection who checks out like, three movies per day and brings them back the next. (TV series are only a minor roadblock.)

—kids who like Minecraft

[nitewrighter]

---The new parents checking out 47 picture books for their 7 month old baby who clearly has nothing going on in their head except the Wii Sports Resort theme song

You know that whole "A Spider-Man that doesn't make jokes is a dangerous Spider-Man" argument? I have something similar for DC.

A silent Hal Jordan is the most lethal one.

He is tired and in pain 99% of the time and he still has it in him to be a little shit, crack a couple of jokes, be as loudly defiant and annoying as he can possibly be, because that's just how he is.

Which is why if you do something and Hal doesn't have anything witty or corny or slightly flirty to say, you better shut up and quietly surrender, or things will get ugly. Like, "Break the no kill rule of the ring trough sheer willpower in order to absolutely disintegrate you from existence" type of ugly.

Because a silent Hal is one bursting with green energy from every pore, one with eyes glowing under the mask and green veins bulging under thin skin, theeth clenched to the point of breaking and blood running down his mouth from how hard he bit his tongue. It's an Hal at the very end of the rope, so full of rightful fury that it strips him of words. It's an Hal waiting for you to give him one last reason, like a predator about to pounce. One wrong step and you'll find yourself with a crater in your chest before you can even breathe.

It's such a rare occurance, to see him like this, because that's what his constant jokes and stupid puns are for, to hide his anger and pain, to keep a grip on them the same way you would keep a dangerous dog on a leash. He has that much control over himself, even if no one else recognize it.

But the moment he stops talking? it's because that control is willingly being thrown out of a window. Years of pent up frustration, anger, helplessness and pain are about to be unleashed through the most powerful weapon in the universe, and no one will survive it.

Beware of a silent Hal Jordan, for that's probably gonna be the last thing you'll ever see.
