[in a timeline where] Tim really loved Robin and Batman, but it wasn't in his goals to ever actually be Robin until, well... anyways, he's Robin now, but this isn't his end goal, not Tim's life plans so to speak. Tim wouldn't be able to give up fighting crime ever, probably, but he doesn't want to be Robin forever. Not only that but B and Dick are acting a little more off than usual and there's this new guy, Red Hood on the streets.
Oh my God, that's Jason Todd, I thought he was dead. What do you mean he is coming to the Titans Tower, the place I currently am. Well, that's fine...
Cue Jason breaking in to beat up Tim only for Tim to whip around and start with a, "Oh neat, you're finally here, took you long enough," dropping a briefcase of events detailing Bruce's timeline after Jason's death, another briefcase of information on any current cases Tim thinks Jason can deal with, then just going, "Awesome to finally meet you and all that, awesome that your alive, I'm going on vacation, catch you later."
This leaves behind a very confused Red Hood and Bruce and Dick don't hear from Tim for 3 weeks, sending them into some kinda panic while Tim's having the time of his life on a beach somewhere
therapist: cunt dracula is not real and cannot fuck you.
cunt dracula:
Awwwww we all deserve a dad like that
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS, THANK YOU!!!!!
If anyone knows the fic, heres what I recall:
It’s a Tim joins the batfam early fic on ao3; the premise is that jack wants Tim to have more masculine interests so he tries to get Tim into cars, which works to well, and he becomes a little speed demon. He does the normal bat stalking he’s known for, deduces the code to unlock the Batmobile, and rescues Bruce dick and Jason from the joker by basically street racing the Batmobile into him
If anyone knows the title, I would love you forever
This is something I want for my children (if I were to have any in the future) I knew nothing about the wonderful, extraordinary, intelligent women that have done so much for this world, when I was growing up. Hell I hardly know now. I love that you have done this to try and make the change that should be happening. Thank you, you are so brilliant @humblefryingpan and I appreciate you.
(I made a speech and rlly messed it up so I'm putting it on here. It's basically about cool women being left out in history/school curriculums)
Historical Acknowledgement of Women
By @humblefryingpan
Good [morning/afternoon] and thank you for coming to listen. I have brought you here to talk about the absence of female lives, achievements and inventions from the school curriculum.
Over the course of history, women have been valued less than men. Even now, while we’re much closer to equality than ever before, women continue to be forgotten and undervalued. This is a huge problem for multiple reasons.
Firstly, we are receiving a tainted version of the past that changes key information. A common example of this would be Rosalind Franklin’s discovery of the double-helix DNA structure being credited to Watson and Crick. Instead of teaching us about Franklin, exam boards focus on the people who stole her work. While this fact is becoming more recognised lately, it is still not on school curriculums. Plus, in standardised tests, she will not be mentioned in any question about her discovery.
And secondly, the presence of women in history is important because children and teenagers often look to historical figures for inspiration. This can shape lives and change how kids see the world and for women there is an extremely limited choice of role models.
When I was a child, I idolised Marie Curie because she was one of the only women I had heard of that invented something. I don’t want to be a scientist, but there weren’t many female achievements that would be known to children. I knew of a few artists, because of my family. I knew some authors, because I liked to read. But most of these women were women I had found outside of school, I hadn’t actually been taught about them.
People try to make science more appealing to young girls. People think that if there is a problem, it’s that women don’t want to do science. People think that because you never hear about female scientists’ discoveries, but this isn’t because women don’t want to be scientists, its because when they are, they might as well be invisible.
Without the internet would you know that without the actress Hedy Lamarr inventing frequency hopping during World War two, we wouldn’t have Wi-Fi, GPS or Bluetooth? Her invention is currently valued at around $30 billion but she didn’t get paid anything for her patent. We never learn about her despite the fact she changed how the world currently runs. Without women we wouldn’t have dishwashers, circular saws, car heaters, lifeboats, windscreen wipers or even home security. And most people don’t know about any of those women.
Women’s work gets credited to men. And when it isn’t, it doesn’t get recognised at all. There are women who have done incredible things, invented things that changed the world, done things that saved thousands of lives. But nobody knows who they are. A study has shown that women in science are 13% less likely than men to receive authorship credit for their work. Additionally, women are 59% less likely to be named on patents, even when they work on the same projects.
During the second world war a woman called Irena Sendler worked in the Warsaw ghetto so that she could sneak children and infants out in burlap sacks. She was able to save over 2500 children before the Nazis caught and severely injured her. She had kept the names of every single child in a jar buried under a tree in her backyard, and after the war she located all the parents that had survived, the other kids being placed in foster homes or getting adopted.
In 2007, Sendler was nominated to win the Nobel Peace Prize but lost to a man named Al Gore who created a slideshow on global warming. Without her risking her life and safety, all those children would have been killed but she still got less recognition than a man’s slideshow.
Women have always been doing things as remarkable as men have, but we only ever learn about the male side of the past. When we learn what women’s roles were, we learn about housewives and mothers and while these are also valued lifestyles, we don’t get the full truth of what women have been doing since.
If we only knew the women we learnt about in school, we’d probably believe they never left the house. That they weren’t as clever, weren’t as brave, weren’t as interesting as men and that isn’t true. Women have always been working as hard as men do and when people say they were working ‘behind the scenes’ it is simply because historians pointed the cameras away from them.
Women deserve to learn about other women. Everyone deserves to see somebody like them that is presented the way men got presented. More female achievements need to appear on the school curriculum. Thank you for listening.
I need more octopus things on my fyp immediately
