Oliver: *being Skeptic And Making Sure Not To Spoil Anything In Interviews*

Anne With an E! It's been a long time since I watched the series, but I finally made a fanart :> She's so precious ❤️ I was really happy drawing this xD (I'll seriously make every fanart I've left for later in the last years)

he is the one that sees you EVAAAN

“Father figure” was the last of Batman’s essential elements to manifest, and it is the first aspect to be jettisoned by writers, filmmakers, and television showrunners whenever they wish to tell Batman’s tale anew. In a bid to keep the storytelling simple, they strip him of his familial context and take him back to the dark, brooding loner of this very first year.

But Robin always comes back, eventually, in some form, because he must: Robin is half the story.

Despite what many fans believe so fervently, the Batman of that very first year isn’t truly Batman—not yet. Robin serves to define and delineate Batman, as do Batgirl, Nightwing, Huntress, and the others. Batman’s status as the ultimate mentor is a base principle, inasmuch as it speaks directly to who he is: he saves others because, on one terrible night long ago, there was no one to save him.

There's also just years and years of slow burn but that didn't fit

The ton is so unserious bc out of everyone, Cressida Cowper is the only one who’s like, “Colin being unhinged for Penelope is not out of character behavior.”

as seen on the 118 bulletin board….

That double interview made me cackle honestly. Almost like they needed a way for Oliver to talk about Buck and Tommy. Instead of buddie.

Oliver needed like a court mandate to force him to talk about that ship.😝 I'm positive he's loving the bi Buck storyline and he's been doing amazing with it but I also believe he wants to see Buddie happen more than all of us. It's not B/T we see him always talking about and posting on ig.

the big buddie accounts need to start calling shit in their fandom out the way they do for bucktommy fans

That’s very true. But tbf, a lot of Buddie fans these days try and keep to themselves and theorize about having buddie go canon. Bt fans are the ones who message the actors, showrunners, FAMILY MEMBERS, and degrade the lgtb charcters like Hen, Karen, Josh etc because they aren’t important to them. They’ve even taken actual buddie creators from tiktok and have edited them into hate edits. Buddie stans have never done that shit.

But when buddie stans actually do something wrong they should be called out and some actually do. Like that buddie stans that was called out for defending Tommy’s racism, just like they do with bt stans

I think overall we are not fully utilizing Tim Drake's origin as a weird super hero fanboy/stalker for it's full comedic potential.

Jason talking about his Robin days: The look on that guy's face when he was beaten by child. I wish I had a picture.

Tim: I do.

Jason: You what?

Tim: have a picture.

Jason: ....

Tim: Would you like to see?

Jason:.... yes.

Dick over the phone: can you pick something up from Titans tower for me? I'm really busy. It's in the vault the password is ********.

Tim: You haven't changed it in 5 years? That's terrible security!

Dick: ...I didn't know you 5 years ago??

Tim: You also put the code in in plain view of the window. You should really pull the blinds down.

Dick: After you get that can you please get therapy?

So many people who I used to follow for Buddie gifs/content have blocked me now because I don't like Lou or B/T. I've heard similar stories from other Buddie shippers who've been blocked left and right from people they used to follow. I don't get how a fandom could crumble so much over such a short amount of time all because of a ship that has had so little development. I mean the show didn't even bother to define whether or not they're boyfriends or what by the end of the season. Did so many of you really only care about seeing two men kiss? I don't get how you can claim to care about Buck's happiness when he's with a guy who doesn't seem to get him or care about his thoughts and feelings.

I get that we aren't all always going to like the same ships and I get that some people multi ship but a lot of Buddie shippers have totally dropped Buddie and now say either they don't care if it happens or they fully believe T*mmy is Buck's endgame. It's just so weird to me. I can't imagine loving a ship for years hoping it would go canon only to get this close to it actually happening and completely turn on that ship and it's fandom all because one guy showed up and had like 5 minutes of screen time.
