For the rest of our lives

no matta whatcha say or whatcha do

not to be a killjoy but it's still crazy to me that it's considered mean to be like "maybe you should read / play / watch the source material before creating fanworks and diving into the fandom" bc every time i see somebody going "i havent played disco elysium or know anything about it tbh but uwu here's harry and kim kissing" idk maybe you should engage with it. maybe you should play the anti-capitalist surrealist game where you investigate the murder of a mercenary who led the gang rape of a foreign girl and process that for a bit? and then you can do cutesy mlm or whatever idc. but like at the absolute bare minimum you should understand what the source material involves otherwise we get the phenomenon of people joining a dragon age server and wanting content warnings for like, mage racism. like it's fine to ship and transform the genre into whatever but if you arent comfortable with discussions of the actual source content itself then maybe the fandom isnt for you and a different one is. peace and love.

Hear Me Out: Rook as Tim Drake’s new codename

Tim Drake (Robin, Red Robin, & Drake) needs his own codename and prefferably one he won’t share with a burger restuarant…or Batman’s biological son.

From wikipedia:

The rook is a piece in the game of chess. It may move any number of squares horizontally or vertically without jumping, and it may capture an enemy piece on its path; additionally, it may participate in castling. Each player starts the game with two rooks, one in each corner on their own side of the board. Formerly, the rook (from Persian رخ rokh/rukh, meaning chariot) was alternatively called the tower, marquess, rector, and comes (count or earl)…

The rook (Corvus frugilegus) is a member of the family Corvidae in the passerine order of birds… It is a large, gregarious, black-feathered bird, distinguished from similar species by the whitish featherless area on the face…Like other corvids, they are intelligent birds with complex behavioural traits and an ability to solve simple problems… It has black feathers that often show a blue or bluish-purple sheen in bright sunlight. The feathers on the head, neck and shoulders are particularly dense and silky. The legs and feet are generally black, the bill grey-black and the iris dark brown. 

Further thoughts:

The stylised “R” is uniquely Tim Drake’s in my opinion. Taking the name Rook would allow him to keep his “R.” 

Writers could toy with various thematic connections with all of the different meanings and alternatives of Rook, i.e. tower, marguees, rector, comes, chariot, and a very smart bird.

My favorite Tim Drake look is the One Year Later outfit. I love the simple design; the red, yellow, black combo; and the scalloped cape. 

As Rook, I can imagine him dressed in dark blueish-purple with greenish-blue seems and accents. Purple against a black scalloped cape might look cool. A black domino mask would suffice, but I’m also a fan of Gatchaman helmets and pointed nose peices.

Was anyone going to tell me that one of Horikoshi’s assistants (Yoco Akiyama) wrote a manga oneshot about two childhood friends who meet up again after a long time and fall in love, and Horikoshi liked it so much that he drew art of the main character and Izuku and he made a joke about how he wanted the main character to be the main character of MHA too. Or was I just supposed to find that out through a recap podcast of the team up missions.
