"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

He's kind of a needy manho.

Kind of? Hee. According to Babs, he sleeps with anyone who's nice to him. Or who reminds him of Bruce.

There's a crazy, calculating edge to the boy

Tim is deeply Not Right In The Head. He's a competent little control freak in a cape, with a sense of humor, a slightly evil way about him, and a dysfunctional relationship with everyone in the known universe.

I, um, overidentify with him sometimes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Or who reminds him of Bruce.

It's like Babs is one of us.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It's like Babs is one of us.

She just understands that Dick puts the Ho back in HoYay.

Tim is deeply Not Right In The Head.

The boy just decided he wanted to be Robin, and then made it happen. I don't think you can get much less right in the head than that.

The boy just decided he wanted to be Robin, and then made it happen. I don't think you can get much less right in the head than that.

Now, don't leave out the first part: the boy decided that BRUCE needed Robin, and tried to get Dick back into the pixie boots. Then, when that didn't work, he threw himself on the alter of Bruce's needs.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Actually, I think Tim's even scarier than thet. He decided that Batman *needed* a Robin, and only after reaching that conclusion did he appoint himself best severely disturbed youngster for the job. He's so *methodical*.

(xpost with plei, of course. hee.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This month's Outsiders? Very gay, FTR.

Scott Summers' flaw is that he is a dick. Not an interesting dick, like Gambit, for whom it's not a flaw but a selling point.

A boring old dick, and even more so in recent continuity (which makes me feel even better about the resentment I've been harbouring since Maddy Pryor).

I have a plan.

Gah, Maddy Pryor! Her arc pretty much killed the X-Men for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Storm was rocking during Maddy's existence (I think it overlapped with Lifedeath's ramificiations), so I was all good.

The way Scott behaved to early Maddy was very asslike, and no amount of retconning can make that go away. Hence ... smugness.

Yeah, I keep forgetting that part. The boy is Not Right in the Head.

(I think it overlapped with Lifedeath's ramificiations)

Lifedeath was some great stuff, and Stormtastic.
