Violet: Im Having A Problem With This Person.

Violet: I’m having a problem with this person.

Xaden: Kill them.

Violet: NO.

Xaden: Then I will kill them for you.

Violet: NO.

An interesting demonstration of how the human brain works.

But also something of a lesson regarding perception, and the unreliability of subjective perspective versus objective reality.

You can be extremely certain about how you perceive the world, your "lived experience," that which you "feel it in my heart." But that doesn't mean it's actually true. And it doesn't mean we have to endorse it, or ignore or outright deny objective reality.

That's a "you" thing, not a "we" thing.

I made a few things...(FW and IF spoilers)

I like to imagine that a series of events has lead to Jim Gordon being awkwardly left alone in a room with each of the Robins at least once per Robin, thus leaving the poor man who is already overworked suddenly charged with looking after a very small crime-fighting child.

Gordon -enters his office to find Dick!Robin somehow perched on the back of his chair-: ....Hi?

Dick!Robin: Hi! Batman told me to stay here.

Gordon: ...Right. -awkwardly reaches into the filing cabinet that he keeps snacks for Barbara in- Do you... eat?

Dick!Robin: Yes?

Gordon: -offers him a pack of peanut butter crackers as though trying to distract a dangerous animal from pouncing-

Violet: You aren’t allowed to fall in love with me, okay?

Xaden: That won’t be an issue

[One week later]

Xaden: THERE’S AN ISSUE.
