“The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.”
— Juliette Lewis
It's so nice being on tumblr because you don't even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you're good at rebloging posts they like
I miss you in quiet ways—in skipped songs, in sunsets that don’t feel right, in jokes I can't tell anyone else.
“You must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first.”
— Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey
when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever
YES this is one of my biggest pet peeves while reading fics or hcs
I think it's often forgotten that all the Bat-kids are Bat-trained so, while some of them do have specific strengths, they are all at peak human condition and have professional training in literally every task.
I see so many versions of the Batfam where Dick is the flexible one, Jason is the strong one, Tim is the smart one, Damian is the weapons-trained one, Cass can disappear, and Stephanie and Duke are ignored or treated like civilians.
So, while Dick obviously is the best acrobat and his fighting style is based on his gymnastics training, it's important to note that all of the Batkids are only slightly below his level. They are all on par with professional gymnasts.
And, while Tim is this expert detective and hacker, they are all trained to be able to hack the fucking Pentagon.
Consider them all getting an A in every test of every skill, it's just that some of them have specific interests, so devote more of their time to their skill and get an A+ instead.
So here is a list of their A+ skills:
Dick: acrobatics (obviously)
Jason: marksmanship (this ranges from guns to slingshots, amazing with a paper airplane aimed at Tim's eyes)
Tim: computer and detective skills (this man never leaves the house, he has skin paler than paper and access to every CIA document)
Damian: welding weapons (it takes a lot of practice to weild a katana non-lethaly)
Cass: stealth (when asked for comment, she disappeared into the floorboards)
Steph: pissing off the rogues (it's what she devoted most of her time to)
Duke: encouragement (he was a major player in We Are Robin, he could encourage anyone to join the fight. Also, he makes the sun shine behind him to form a dramatic silhouette and you can't say no to that)
Bruce: Paranoia
Anyway, this was a really long winded way of saying, while I appreciate the Nightwing Dancing on a Pole propaganda, I humbly present the simple fact that Jason would also be up there.
