i think writing about tim drake’s inherent, unbreakable awe of dick grayson and robin as a mantle and his views of heroism and selflessness that, even a decade on, are still so fundamentally shaped by what dick achieved despite his grief is making me mentally ill, actually

They’re just two very good boys 😭 ❤️

do you ever read a fic where they mention some other piece of media and go. these are just your opinions. come on, girl. i don't even know you but i know that these are just your opinions. these are not the media opinions of a nineteen-year-old boy. these are the media opinions of a thirty-five year old woman who had a livejournal account in 2007. these are the media opinions of someone who was in supernatural fandom

I admire so many creators in the reblogs, including OP, but I have to respectfully put an alternative perspective here, more or less amounting to:

Writers, do whatever you want with these characters.

Not only because there are 19 year old boys who read Orwell or watch the A-Team or listen to Fats Domino or engage in whatever other anachronistic media but also because, to me, fandom is at its heart a transformative space. It’s fair to dislike writers projecting this or that but I don’t at all think it’s an incorrect way to engage with canon or have fun or find meaning creatively. There are works I’ve read that are so far beyond what I see for a particular character but the rendering is so exquisite I’m able to enjoy it—even if it deviates from my personal interpretation.

There’s also an argument to be made for “this character was a teenager in the 90s so perhaps this now out of date media is what they’d be into.” Or indeed, the expectation that writers should “how do you do fellow kids” by accurately depicting what a median teenager is into now is just unnecessarily limiting imo.

Anyway, like I say: no disrespect intended but I want to put another perspective out there for people who DO want to project and freely play but are perhaps too shy or scared to do so 🫡

EDIT: thanks to a comment from a kind mutual, I just want to stress I don’t at all want to sound scoldy. Just want to make a case for the freedom to sandbox x

Can he please be writing a paper on whatever is going on with one of my favourite birds of all time? Elvis the German Blackbird with No Head Feathers and a Bit of a Dodgy Eye.

Here’s Elvis with his two adorable kids.

Extremely Important Update: in April 2023 the World Bird Sanctuary had an orphaned eagle chick in need of care, so they decided to see if Murphy could live up to his parental ambitions.

He successfully raised the chick, which is now thriving with the other juvenile eaglets!

Congrats Murphy, you made it happen through sheer determination.

(Pictures are from the Facebook page of the World Bird Sanctuary; I can’t link them directly because I don’t have a FB account and the site is a nightmare to interact with if you’re not logged in, constantly resetting and kicking you to registration pages.)

Update: Murphy’s foster chick has now been released back in the wild!

I would die for Murphy

What it’s like living in Berlin etc etc

The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart and all that

I’m getting close to the end of my BOTW adventures, it is making me reflect and giving me feelings I didn’t expect.
