about.

buddy or miles is fine. buddy miles, even. they/them, black, avg leftist opinions. 30+. sir or ma'am is also fine, i just don't care as long as you don't act like an asshole on my posts because if you do i have no problem cursing you out.

i mainly post abt the outsiders + dalpony. this is not a place for you if you like dallasjohnny and i make no bones about that — i also do not like the musical, the musical fandom, darry fandom, or most mainstream fandom opinions in hintonverse fandom. if you're a minor, i don't want to see you. don't interact with me.

i don't like any of the major bruce wayne ships (brutalia, batcat, superbat) so there's your warning. i do love wonderbat and a secret third crossover ship.

i do tend to talk about my opinions rather freely and i tend to be blunt about it. if you engage honestly so do i. i love a good discussion but if you enter that conversation with just trying to read everything in bad faith or you don't have a grasp on a lot of pretty basic things it's not going to be fun for you. i also have a very, very low tolerance on ignorance and/or being flippant in serious fandom discussions—if you run with "it's not that deep" i'm gonna show you how deep it is and then block you.

that block button is rated e, for everybody and i rarely ever lift a block. don't make me have to notice you.

i run @dalpony and @hintonchallenge. neither of them have anon enabled in the askbox and if you have questions about the latter, please use that askbox.

i also post about bruce wayne, x-men comics, godzilla, the vampire chronicles (this is a lestat stan zone), 80s cinema, horror media, other juvenile delinquent cinema, i make gifs, and i write. i'm on ao3 as sixties.

speaking of gifs: please don't use my gifs in webweaves, readerfic, headcanons, or imagines.

tag tracking: dalpony, hintons, jackballantyne, tulsaverse, hintonverse.

Its so funny to be currently reading Tim's era of comics when the polemic about this plotpoint is going on. Because from my perspective, it seems just so well aligned with Tim's struggles and motivations.

Because all throughout his robin era, as long as his dad was alive and he had civilian connections, one of the biggest points of his character, if not the main one, was how much Tim hates to lie to his loved ones.

It genuinely pained him to have a double life, to the extent he even considered outing himself as robin to his dad, exposing Batman's identity too. Who was also okay with this even with his strict demeanor. That shows even Bruce himself knew how important being truthful to his close ones is.

Tim even took a break from robin when his dad found out.

Then his dad died, plus a LOT of other important figures in his life. Then all of the Red robin arc happened, and he was misserable. He disconected from all of his civilian supporting cast (the thing that made him stand out as a robin) until he started dating Bernard. This is why I think Tim deciding to take a break is completely in line with how the story has been going, going back to having a civilian supporting character, which was his main appeal before, brings back him questioning if the double life is worth it. I'm really excited to find out how this continues, hopefully not with Bernard dead as many of us are fearing.

Also, I don't think people saying that Tim "begged" to be robin and that it was all he ever wanted, and pretending as if he never doubted if that's what he really wanted (imo he's the robin that questioned it the most) have ever picked up a comic of his

so the whole “I can’t follow your don’t like, don’t read guidance if you don’t properly tag your fics!!” thing is coming back, and I have thoughts.

the above guidance applies even if a fic isn’t warned/tagged. ao3’s tagging system is not 100% perfect and never will be. no manual system is. you will always have missed tags or — rarely, please repeat that with me — bad actors mistagging things on purpose.

part of being able to manage your own experience online isn’t just heeding warnings or tags. it’s being able to set yourself up for success when you encounter something triggering or uncomfortable in the wild. because you will. on accident, via malicious tagging, or maybe you missed a tag or forgot to read the new warning on a fic.

you will encounter your squicks or triggers in the world. your job is to BACK OUT of those situations as quickly as possible. read the room and make a judgement call.

is the main character about to get tortured and you have a thing about amputations? when they bring out the clippers, that’s your cue to dip.

if you can’t handle reading non-con, clicking on a fic with “dark” and “dub con” tagged is a risk, proceed with caution.

the author didn’t tag [trigger] but you’re reading the fic and have a bad feeling it might pop up.

the fic has “chose not to use archive warnings” and no other triggers/warnings tagged.

people in some online spaces will tell you that if everyone tagged their fic perfectly with every single trigger (instead of using “chose not to warn” which, again, is MORE than fair to use on its own) from the get go, nobody would ever get triggered again.

but that’s just simply not true. sometimes we don’t know we have a trigger until we encounter it. sometimes we thought we could handle something and we can’t. sometimes our trigger is so specific, asking the average author to tag it ahead of time is beyond impractical.

so yes, don’t like, don’t read. but also — don’t like, don’t continue reading. know your triggers, know what topics you can’t handle, and back out as soon as you see them. know that it will happen, inevitably, and have a plan.

encountering triggers isn’t fun. take care of yourself, recharge, and remember that anytime you prioritize yourself and your own mental health, you’re doing the right thing. even if it means missing out on a fic or two.
