STILL don’t know if this is how you post but I read this really cool Kaigaku fanfiction on Ao3 and had to draw a few scenes from it :D

They’re pretty bad quality I drew them on my IPad with my finger 😭 If you like a well written Kaigaku fanfiction u should definitely check out breath of reincarnation by onioso on Ao3 😼

[rosaemoux]

So hey, I made a Kaigaku-centric AU. It's set in 1980's Japan, following the secret war of the criminal organization named The Spider Lily, and The Ubuyashiki Foundation, so if you're interested, check it out!

I finally finished this piece that I started back in August. College is still taking up a lot of my motivation, so I won't be as active in the next few months.

Anyway, the idea behind this is basically my personal headcanon that if anyone were to save Kaigaku from himself, it should be Zenitsu. Kaigaku seeks validation above all, and Zenitsu is the only one who kept looking up to him and seeing him as a brother figure despite everything.

If Zenitsu had succeeded in reaching out to Kaigaku, maybe things wouldn't have turned out the way it did

Another thing that bothers me about the idea that Tim can be removed from the lineup or that just anyone could be in his place, is that how much what Tim repaired and brought to the group (helping Dick and Bruce repair their relationship, bringing more allies to the Bats in general) implicitly is tied to Tim and Tim's personality.

Like, sorry, it could not just be anyone.

You actually need an obsessive, invasive person with next to no boundaries that barely views the idea that it isn't his fucking business as an obstacle, because most people wouldn't touch that shit with a mile-long pole.

The only way you can remove Tim is by giving other people Tim's traits and that's because you actually need Tim.

Janet, pinching tiny Tim’s cheeks: Tim, baby, I love you but you are a little freak.

Tim, who just showed her a picture of the dead bird he found: Nuh-uh.

Janet: Yuh-huh. I know why too, you've seen too much. Freaky little freak.

Tim: It’s cause I saw those pretty flying people fall really hard and they died?

Janet:

Janet: Yeah, babe.

Just a reminder that

Until the early 2000s, nearly all Jason victim blaming was done by Tim and Dick

Bruce didn't say or think anything overtly negative about Jason until 2002. He had a couple debatable moments in the late 90s, but all of those put the blame on himself for allowing Jason to get involved in the vigilante life rather than on Jason

Tim was the first person to indicate that Jason's death was his own fault, and it was within five years of ADitF (irl years)

Taking into account their pre-death interactions with each other & Marv Wolfman/Chuck Dixon's dislike of Jason as a character, it is easy to make an argument that a lot of Dick's negative statements about Jason are OOC; however he once again is one of the leaders in Jason bashing until Bruce starts in the 2000s, and Dick's interactions with Jason after his return are all very much negative. In a lot of them, Dick is arguably more in the wrong (pre-N52 at least)

Tim idolized Dick as Robin, not Jason, and repeatedly shows a lack of respect towards Jason's memory & Bruce's grief for him

That's all, have a lovely day

[rosaemoux]

There is a lot of mixed feelings on the Tim Drake bag, on one hand, he did admire Jason (in ALPOD he even asks himself if he could ever be like Jason, he has visions of both Dick and Jason's Robins encouraging him to take action), but on the other hand, he thought of Jason as a warning sign at times ("don't act reckless, don't get too emotional, don't be like Jason" basically acting like emotion was the thing that killed him) and after Jason's return, he was pretty much his second biggest hater (the first goes to Dick).

But he was a child when Jason died, I wonder how much he even knew about the events of A Death in The Family. I do think a lot about Tim's relationship with the prior Robins and how Dick was the golden standard he would never live up to and Jason was the big red warning sign that he should avoid.

Follow on to the “out of context panels” thing - sometimes the issue is that those panels still ARE special, if you’ve read the whole story and know the entire context. But you can’t post all that context, and equally you can’t expect anyone else to import all the same meaning when they look at it.

So to the original poster of the moment encapsulates everything they feel about the run/storyline. To someone who hasn’t read all the same things, they can only interpret based on what is presented. And especially when you’re posting the hard-won emotional moment after a long story, people without the context just start riffing off that and reposting it, without the background of how it was achieved.

Let’s take my favourite panels of Red Robin #12.

Now I love these panels, but I know perfectly well the reasons why I personally love them are not the reasons they tend to get shared around fandom. (For one, Ra’s’ kick is rarely/never posted) The focus tends to be on the “I saved the people he loved” text boxes.

That’s not why I love them, however.

To me, it’s the replay of the epilogue of Resurrection of Ra’s al Ghul from, where Yost and To explicitly go ‘you got that we reran this exact story, right? Right?’ to their audience, as they’re explicitly referencing THIS page from ‘Tec 840:

Ra’s kicked Tim out a window the exact same way that Bruce kicked Ra’s. Both Ra’s and Tim are fighting with BRUCE - they’re just fighting him by proxy with each other.

If you are unaware this happened, you miss SO MUCH of what’s happening in those two pages of RR 12. They’re even framed similarly.

Also using the context of this, there’s a fascinating parallel that wasn’t anticipated by the creators, but is extremely useful for arguing against fanon.

In ‘Tec 840, the next time we see Ra’s, he’s unconscious in Arkham Asylum.

In RR 12, we get the Dick catch and the “you’re my brother” scene in the Cave.

Given the mirroring, do I really have to spell out the implication that Dick doesn’t think Tim should be in Arkham? No?

But if I just posted the catch with the caption “Dick doesn’t think Tim should be in Arkham” nobody would understand what I meant.

Or here’s another example of “import your own context” - this panel from Streets of Gotham #21 is hysterically funny to me, someone who has read all of Dini’s ‘Tec and Streets of Gotham run. It’s the payoff of a whole HOST of Hush stories and several others.

I adore how STUPID it is.

To someone without that context, there’s a good chance they don’t even accurately identify who is Tommy Elliot here.

The panels you see circulating will always be slightly out of context because you can never predict that you’ve read the exact same set of relevant comics as another person. The best you can do is point people to what implication you’re taking from the scene (and hope all the sweet hugs don’t get reposted completely stripped of context as they inevitably will be)

(Also everyone who reads RR should read Resurrection INCLUDING the epilogue, the entire missing conversation of what Dick thinks through all this is right there in Resurrection for you, you don’t have to make stuff up)

Batgirls is bad not for any of the articulate and complex reasons I’ve mentioned in the past but because there is no Crystal Brown. New rule if you insist on dragging back Arthur Brown for Steph to fight it’s MANDATORY Crystal Brown is there too. Bc Steph fighting Arthur is literally Nothing to me at this point unless you actually maintain in some form the original pathos of her fighting with Arthur: Crystal Brown. Like yes Steph has her own beef with him obviously she does but first becoming a vigilante in the first place was about protecting Crystal, Crystal defines and informs Steph’s character just as much as Arthur does if not more and I GET including Crystal as a focal point is not as easy as just going ‘look!!! Stephanie browns villain dad omg!!!’ But if you’re going to do the latter at the very very least Crystal Brown should be there too. I’m Not even talking about Crystal as like a physical presence anywhere near Arthur (i just really don’t think they should interact at all tbh) really all you need is the presence of Crystal in Steph’s civilian life or even just the idea of Crystal Brown in Steph’s mind. That’s it. It’s not hard and it would improve any modern subpar ‘Steph fights Cluemaster’ story tenfold.
