I Give Children Extra Lessons To Get Some Money While In Uni, And That Causes Some Conversations That

I give children extra lessons to get some money while in Uni, and that causes some conversations that truly amaze me.

Like the third grader today that told me he frequently has nightmares.

Me: Maybe take a toy, like a knight or a superhero, and put them next to your bed so they can protect you. Kid: I have multiple Jedi. Me: Perfect! They can protect you. Kid: No they can't. Me: They're Jedi. Kid: Yeah but I dream of huge monsters Me: They're Jedi, they can handle that. Kid: No, like the Zillo Beast! That big!

(Honestly, that caught me off guard. I did not expect him to go this specific on me. So i raised my nerd up to meet him)

Me: But the Zillo Beast was sad and just wanted to get out. Kid: Yeah, but i also dream of *violently describes Planet-Ending catastrophe* the Jedi can't do that

(Honestly, he had me at that point. He has a very accurate power scaling of the Jedi. And I can't really go "but they are *Jedi*" at him anymore, he's gonna think i am either making fun of him or mentally stunted. So pulled up the strongest Star Wars Entity i know.)

Me: Did you see the episode about the Mortis Gods? Kid: No.

At that point i gave up. Two minutes later he was happily chatting with another kid. Sometimes small humans confuse me. As I am typing this out, he is supposed to do a worksheet. He is suddently talking with the other child about reasons for war and why that happens. He seems deeply disillusioned with humanity. Either clone wars did a really good job raising him or we should be scared of an eight year old.

Any piece of media that doesn’t give Batman a Robin has misunderstood the character to a shocking degree. And not because Robin keeps Batman from going too dark or anything like that, but because Batman is fundamentally about parenthood. It started with an orphan, with the loss of parents. It’s always always always been about that.

I think at some level, Batman is trying to protect Gotham City in the same way a parent protects their child, and Robin is the physical embodiment of that. Batman is the kind of parent that says I will defend you, I will save you from danger, I will hurt whatever hurts you. Batman isn’t about a fear of bats. Batman is about the loss of parents. Bruce lost his parents to a violent criminal, so he will protect his city from criminals of the same nature, and when he sees a little boy with no one, he will step into the gap because he can’t bear not to. He knows that pain, and he will be damned if he lets this child feel it too.

Batman is a guardian and a father and a scared little boy all wrapped up in a black cape and a growl, and by his side there is another scared little boy who isn’t so scared with the Bat next to him, and together they’re going to make all of Gotham a little less scared too. That’s the core of Batman- he was an orphan once, and he will not let his city be left alone in the dark. And sometimes that’s planting a fist in the face of a mugger, and sometimes it’s holding the hand of a little boy in traffic light colors, but either way it’s Batman saying don’t be scared, I will protect you, I’m here.

Batman is a father. And I wish more media understood that.

despite being older, dick and jason are 1000% the immature ones when it comes to bantering with villains.

like while they're all out fighting crime, Barbara's monitoring their progress, and on one side it's these young, high-pitched voices spouting sophisticated shit like, "while I do admire your unwavering consistency, it does beg the question: do you truly derive any semblance of pleasure from incessantly facing defeat at my hand?"

and then on the other hand, you just hear these two grown-ass men who are like, "FUCK YOU, BITCH, I HOPE YOU GET RUN OVER BY A TRUCK AND THEN RUN OVER BY ANOTHER TRUCK, SUCK MY DICK YOU DUMBASS PRICK, ALSO WANNA KNOW WHAT ME AND YOUR MOTHER DID LAST NIGHT ?I?"

(they say if you're very quiet, you'll hear a sigh of disappointment from the shadows while this is happening)

Do you think Kaz would pull the “I didn’t know Wylan was the boss of you” on Jesper when he tells Kaz he can’t go and commit felonies with him today cause the husband said no?

Being in fandom and trying to get your friends interested is so fun, especially when you (and your friends) are a bit unhinged.
