What Really Gets Me Is That Every Robin Has An Opposite.

What really gets me is that every Robin has an opposite.

Dick and Jason are opposites. Dick came to Bruce bitter and grieving and angry with the world, and being Robin slowly allowed him to take out his frustration in a way that Bruce never could. By the time Dick is Nightwing, he's essentially a more well-adjusted Batman. He's more chill and laid back, and most of all, he's happy with the world.

Jason, on the other hand, came to Bruce excited and full of wide-eyed wonder. He'd had a tough life up until that point but chose to reinvent himself. He was happy and cheerful and being Robin gave him magic. And then he died. When Jason comes back, he's angry with himself, Bruce, Dick, the Joker, and the world that let him die.

Tim and Steph are also opposites. Tim grew up rich and privileged. He saw evil in the world, but from his place above it all, he thought that heroes could end it. He was cheerful and optimistic about how justice would prevail. And then Tim becomes Robin, and he sees that evil up close for the first time. He sees it in the villains he fights, in the way Bruce grieves his son, in the way that everyone he loves dies. He becomes depressed and cynical. He still thinks heroes do good, but he knows he's truly barely making a dent.

Steph grew up on the streets. Her father was a villain. She knew evil, had seen it first hand since before she ever should have known it existed. She's cynical, and doesn't think heroes can stop all the evil she knows to exist. And then she becomes Spoiler, and then Robin. And she sees for the first time how much heroes truly do. She becomes more optimistic, realizing that if heroes work together, they may finally put a stop to the evil in the world.

And then there's Damian. He doesn't have an opposite, at least yet. If we ever get another Robin, though, I'd expect them to follow the pattern.

What I can say about Damian, though, is that he and Dick are the same. Not completely, but they both start their careers as Robin bitter and maladjusted. Damian appears to be following Dick's path of mellowing out. Not to Dick's extent, of course, but close enough that Dick can see himself in Damian.

“You shouldn’t self-ID as ADHD/autistic, you’re turning a very real mental condition into a trend” Ok then stop saying delulu. Stop speculating on which cluster C personality disorder the criminals you hear about on the news have. Stop saying “schizoposting” and “acoustic” and “is it restarted?” Stop using “psycopath” and “sociopath” as catch-all ways of calling someone a bad person. Stop saying “the intrusive thoughts won” when you bleach your hair and then turn your nose up at people who suffer from very real, very scary urges of physical/sexual violence. Stop saying “I’m so OCD” as a way of calling yourself neat. Stop treating BPD/ASPD/Bipolar as inherently abusive. Stop saying “OP I am living in your walls” without tagging for unreality. Stop diagnosing complete strangers you’ve never met on r/AITA with narcissism.

You first. If you don’t want our disabilities to be treated like trends then stop belittling and minimising them. I’ll NEVER judge a person for trying find labels for their symptoms when an apathetic, racist, sexist, ableist healthcare system refuses to. But I will absolutely judge a hypocrite. Which a lot of you are

i would let this man bang me so hard with no lube, no protection, all night, all day, from the kitchen door to the toilet seat, from the dining table to the bedroom, from the bathroom sink to the shower, from the front porch to the balcony, vertically, horizontally, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, while I grasp for air, scream and huff, upside down on the floor, in the bed, on the couch, on the chair, being carried, against a wall, outside, in a train, on a plane, in a car, on the motorcycle, in the bed of a trunk, in a trampoline, in a bounce house, inside a pool, bent over, in the basement, against the window, having the most toe curling, toe clenching, back arching, legs shaking, fist clenching, muffled sounds, ear ringing, mouth drooling, nose drooling, ass clenching, nose sniffling, eye watering, can't take it anymore, legs divorcing and breaking in half, eye rolling, hip thrusting, earthquaking, fireworks, sheet gripping, knuckle cracking, jaw dropping, soul snatching, over stimulating, ovulating, vile, sloppy, heart wrenching, spine tingling, back breaking, atrocious, gushy, creamy, Beasley, devilishly, lip biting, gravity defying, nail biting, sweaty, feet kicking, mind blowing, body shivering, orgasmic, bone breaking, black hole cresting, devious, scrumptious, amazing, delightful, body numbing, can't walk, head nodding, volcano erupting, sweat rolling. Voice cracking, trembling, sheets soaked, hair drenched, skin peeling, pussy popping, back cuts, heavenly, devils tango, and still worth it.

Tumblr users have the same energy as Gotham citizens who refuse to move away after the fifth supervillain attack in a week.

At some point, staying becomes a weird badge of pride.
