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.

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.

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.

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.

That was the mohawk Storm who took life by the ball hairs and went ZAP, right? Cause she rocked.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Mohawk!Storm totally had a fling with Wolvie's ex-girlfriend the crazy ninja girl.

Nope, Lifedeath was about terrified Storm with no powers falling in love and slamming right back out of it.

Almost.

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

Yeah, I keep forgetting that part.

You obviously need to re-read Tim Drake, Boy Stalker Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying again.

So much to try and remember. X-men, Alpha Flight, New Mutants I read 'em all at one point. Never got into X-Factor though.
