I Took A Peek Into The Abyss That Was ORV And Have Been Falling Into The Fandom For The Past 3 Years.

I took a peek into the abyss that was ORV and have been falling into the fandom for the past 3 years.

Some fanart for an amazing fic called Wishes and Family by @a-non-ymouswriter! This fic really had me by the throat ^^

The robins’ arrested development is fascinating to me on a meta level.

The first child sidekick of the golden age of comics, never meant to be a man, a child for forty years who fought and demanded the right to grow up.

The second robin is slain in his career’s infancy. An unaging symbol of lost innocence because innocence itself was no longer required. Who burst back out of his grave unwillingly, in a man’s body, dragged into adulthood all at once. A child killed twice over.

The third robin, who was comfortable in his place as a child as a sidekick, evicted because someone else needed that spot, only to be wedged back into the box. Not quite a man, but he can’t go back to being a boy either, stuck in the in between.

And the fifth robin, still a child. Destined to grow into an adult role that will never be vacated, and so cannot grow up.

However inaccurate it may be, Jason being Tim’s Robin has a special place in my heart 😭💕

Like the angst potential is just so much more when your hero comes back and hates you with his absolute being and calling you a replacement.

Didn’t know I needed this grp of friends tgt

Me when my intern buddy tells me one of bosses was actually *NOT* open to having me join them for lunch despite my direct supervisor having invited me
