Oh Tim. Tim. Tim. Tim. (And a viral meme.)

[karanguni]

Still in the midst of studying. Batman and family, they are my anti-drug. Spasming below cut. Fic and your usual she-bang will return, BUT NOT RIGHT NOW.

Because, right now? TIM DRAKE IS TOO BUSY KICKING JASON TODD IN THE CROTCH.





I don't doubt his taste:



(Bigger scan here.)

Because all three of them are very, um, capable Robins, I am sure. They have, all of them, worked long and hard to gain Bruce's, uh, approval. (Said approval is also probably why Jason shouldn't be kneeing Dick in the crotch.

Dick's name, it will never stop being funny.)

But I think Dick and Tim do doubt Jason's, y'know. Sanity. After he breaks into a secure facility just so that he can ambush Tim in order to let everyone with a Bat symbol on them know that he's feeling kind of unloved.

Um. Jason. You died. There's a memorial to you in the Batcave. Bruce uses you as an emotional grenade whenever the rest of the family tries anything stupid and/or foolish. Their angst about you? It is big. It is deadly. It eats small children for breakfast. What did you want Bruce to do? Beat the Joker up with a crowbar?

*pats Jason soothingly* Don't worry. We all know it's tough being the middle child. And, looking at who preceeded you (acrobat, sex on legs, blindly devoted and loyal and happy Nightwing) and who succeeded you (detective, insanely clever, critical and complementary), who could blame you?

You still totally deserved that kick in the balls, though. There's hope for you yet, Tim!

Ah, brotherly love.

Meanwhile, I will continue to be amazed at how no one in the superhero community has, uh, made fun of and/or noticed and/or called Bruce out on his somewhat unhealthy obsession with boys who look like that. I mean. Hot damn, the three of them could literally be brothers...

[edit] OH MY GOD. I just bought and read Robin: Year One and JESUS CHRIST my heart is BURNING IN MY CHEST. Bruce. Bruce was so different, but not in a bad way, just in that unimaginable way that has to do with grace, and the way the world robs you of it if you livein it too long, and too hard. AND DICK. JEsjfjflashflahlfJAJFALF I can't even BEGIN TO DESCRIBE asfjaljf oh my god. He went to a public middle school. Willingly. He loves Alfred/Alfie. With all his heart. He looks after Bruce. And uses Bruce's own standards as his own, without qualm and without complaint. And then he gets his face beaten in and his only answer to Bruce's RIDICULOUS WAY OF SHOWING HE CARES? Is an apology.

ALFJALHGALHFLAJFLJFA AL AJFLJFA.

God, I love this fandom. Maybe I should use some of my birthday moolah and buy myself more iconspace. *____* IF ONLY PEOPLE GAVE ME CASH IN INTERNET CREDITS.

Here, have a meme:

1. Answer the questions, using one name from your flist as an answer to each question.

.........non comprende a la meme, oh, sadnesses....but my name is all over it and now the fascination won't leave me alone, woe~

So, is Terry adopted, because he also looks vaguely like the trio above and nothing like his parentals...maybe it's just that Bruce wanders around procreating at random, with hundreds of women, and when they drop the bubbies he gets involved in the only parental way he knows how; by dressing the boys as bats and letting them run riot about the cityscape. Which is always good.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Gackt is the answer to every question. ;D

[celes-grant.livejournal.com]

aawww at 27. And lol at 4 xD (becauseit'ssortatrue)

Wow, I never knew there was crotch kicking in comics *dies* forgive my ineptitude!

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

I shall PM you the questions; the point is to torture people with answers-but-not-what-they're-answering.

8D 8D 8D 8D Terry's history, oh, it is such greatness. And Bruce? I THINK THE MAN JUST HAS A FETISH. You can't breed the kind of looks on Dick/Jason/Tim.

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

\o\ CROTCH KICKING. A NEW WAY OF LIFE.

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

Ah, but why is he the answer to your question... 8D

[guingel.livejournal.com]

re: 7, not particularly! Unless we have different questions because it occurred to me that anyone who sends them on could be changing them up for the next person with hilarious consequences! I kinda hope that's what happened and we're all looking at different questions.

But anyway, I did fine, but in high school I mostly hung out with theater geeks and in college I don't think of the word "popular" applying cos everyone's just doing their own thing? I'm intrigued that you thought of me for that question though! :D

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

\o\ BUT THEATRE GEEKS AND FUN PEOPLE ARE FUN. 8D

I don't think they swapped round the questions; I just think the fandom twin is awesome. *BEAMS*

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

WHAT WHY IS MY NAME THERE

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

IF YOU PINKY SWEAR TO PASS THIS MEME ON YOU GET TO FIND OUT 8DDDDDDDD

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Because David Bowie is already taken?

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

*sings* Because the pretty things are going to hell~

[scheherezhad]

[is curious] I would like to participate in this meme. It intrigues me.

And now I'm going to sit around singing David Bowie songs to myself at work all day after reading the comments here. :P

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

I shall PM you the questions! \o\

ALLLLLLLLLLL THE PRETTY THINGS ajlfksfjal

[jessieheart.livejournal.com]

JESSIE'S EXTREMELY LATE REPLY: WAIT WHAT? WHO? THEY WANT YOU TO TAKE THE ROLLS.
XD I'm curious! Send me the meme, pretty please! ♥

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

HEHE HEHE. :D *toddles off to PM*

[knightlineninja.livejournal.com]

what is this meme? one is intrigued!

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

Do you still need the questions? 8D Has Nyx sent it to you?

[1womp.livejournal.com]

"24. 1womp. His younger version, maybe." Really? OK, since I have only, like, SIX flisters, I'll never be able to pass this meme on, so I'll have to guess as to just what the heck "my" question was...

Which friend secretly collects porcelain kitties?

Which friend bears an unfortunate resemblance to an alien goose?

Which friend privately admits an attraction to women dressed as Batgirl?

Which friend seems most likely to stab artwork with an old sword?

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

I could send you the questions later! BUT IT'S FUN TO SEE YOU GUESS

No, no, no, close but no cigar! 8D

[1womp.livejournal.com]

*low, perturbed growl*

Which friend is most likely to wet his pants upon meeting Morgan Freeman?

Which friend emits a constant, high-pitched whistle?

Which friend has a scent that is disturbingly similar to wet cigars?

Which friend sometimes answers to the name "Tabitha?"

Which friend is immortalized in song as "Bringing sexy back?"

Which friend finds the most ways to avoid work, even when it's SO past due?

[pere-chan.livejournal.com]

And is [8] the answer to "which friends eat most of your delicious Batpr0n?"

Oh my God, Robin: Year One. Read that just after they posted about it in scans_daily, and WEPT. And I JUST bought and read "Under the Hood", and wept SO MUCH MORE.

Did you see the bit in Superman/Batman where Billy Batson totally Kryptonites Bruce with his adorable wee dark-haired-and-blue-eyed-ness? Obviously someone was paying attention. And if the writers were planning to make Captain Marvel even freakier than I already think he is....then, well done.

And Terry is COMPLETELY using his scrumptiousness to get away with everything. There can be no other explanation for the Melanie/Ten fiasco.

In short--your constant scannage enriches my life.

[knightlineninja.livejournal.com]

I think Nyx is on the case, thank you :)

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

Nay, it is not! *g* I can send you the questions, if you'd like!

Is Under the Hood good? I have no idea what's going on with Jason in current continuity -- I mean, fandom loves him to death, and that is always awesome because fandom loves the underdog, but IS HE STILL EVIL, FOR THE BAT-GIVEN VALUE OF EVIL?

Robin: Year One ajfslja smash smash I do so love Dick.

I haven't read Superman/Batman yet, but that sounds kind of TOTALLY ACCURATE.

\o\

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

STILL NO CIGAR.

... tabitha?

[pere-chan.livejournal.com]

Send questions plz!

Currently he's faffing about with Donna Troy in Countdown--not the good kind of faffing either. :P Not very clear on what it is exactly they're doing...should check out the copies I have at my bookstore. I just love Under the Hood cos that's where they bring him back, and he's really quite evil. Except when he gets all w00by says, "I just love to watch you work." Mind you, this is after he gives Daddy 3 seconds to get out of a building he's wired to blow. adjshdKJS'LKDJ'f

Most of Superman/Batman is kind of meh, especially Torment (wtfMarySue), but Absolute Power and Best Stories Ever Told and the last two issues are my very favourite.

I too, love Dick. :D Hey, it never gets old.

Crap, gotta go to work now XD Happy birthday again!

[karanguni.livejournal.com]

Questions, I have sent them!

HAHA OH GOD, JASON. I swear, that guy is both lovable and crazy. I kinda like to think the resurrection made him go a little whacko; that... sorta explains the huge ATTACKS ON FAMILY THEY MAKE ME SMILE. Mostly I love how the rest of them have to deal. 8D 8D

[pere-chan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely the Lazarus Pit homing in on the tendencies that were already there. What thete1 et al call "Joie-de-Hurt-You". Timmy seems to be dealing with it relatively well XD

Speaking of which, you read her Bruce-Tim-Jason fic, right? Did fanart for it. (http://pics.livejournal.com/pere_chan/pic/0003cbyt)
