    i’m finally playing dr1 for myself for the first time, and its got me thinking a lot about characters I typically don’t, or at least haven’t thought of in a while. I haven’t revisited this cast in years but something about them is still so warm to me, in the way the v3 and sdr2 casts aren’t (despite them having more of my overall favourite chrs).

    Toko in particular has been on my mind a lot - Even though I don’t LOVE udg, the development of Toko’s character in it really reaches me emotionally. I’ve always been a bit of a sucker for stories about weird and sad and lowkey-hopelessly-romantic teenage girls

    I really liked the writing style in this. It’s kind of what I imagine Toko’s writing might be like, only with a touch more rawness I’m not sure her more romanticised work has the room for. Something about the way Toko describes her feelings, specifically those towards Komaru here, how she can’t describe them - find the rights words for them, despite her talent status - at times. I think it gets her character and general mentality very well.

    I really enjoyed diving into some of her more formative experiences in this, and how she views love through this sort of fragmentation that reflects her own view of herself, in many ways. I dunno 💔 I’m sure I could say more but I just really liked this <3 I might come back and add more some other time.

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    sooooo cutee <333333!!! seeing good parents jack and janet drake is so fun and refreshing <3 i loved their warming up to Bruce and the way both their characters were depicted, especially in how they formed friendships(??) with Brucie over the course of the story - Jake looking at him fondly as he asks if he's ever gonna have kids and Janet going from professionally cold to kissing him on both cheeks as a greeting :((( <333333 Tim's such a little charmer <3 Even Vickie Vale was wrapped around his little finger 😭😭<33333 so, so cute - it reminded me once again, of how much I absolutely ADORE the Batman 2022 and what it serves in the development of early-days'-Batman's character - but also low-key foreboding cause like, the Authors Note implies that eventually Tim WILL become Robin in this universe WHICH. Is it's own can of worms. And that's not even including the fact his parents do end up dying canonically (not to mention him figuring out Batman and Robin's identities?? He's pretty young here and canonically he doesn't find out who they are 'till he's 9 ((even IF he started going out earlier)), but considering he was, yknow, SNEAKING OUT OF HIS HOUSE AND FOLLOWING THE BATS ALL THE WAY TO GOTHAM'S NEXT ISLAND, travelling to Old Gotham at the closest and I doubt this version of Tim would keep much from at the very least, Bruce??). But the second I saw that circus ticket mention- GOD. it just makes that ending so much more bittersweet and foreboding cause they were literally going out for his BIRTHDAY,, Bruce had another gift for him waiting at home I'm ILL. Timmy being so excited to see the Flying Graysons :(( So happy after meeting Dick, and so painfully YOUNG. I'm SICK to my STOMACH.

    Summary

    Tim has made peace with the fact that he lives in a family of shifters, that he's scared of shifters, and that since he's coming into his own inheritance as a bloodsucker, he has to die.

    Jason disagrees. He's going to be the big brother Tim needs, no matter the cost.

    really funny??? like, weirdly funny. I love niche au content <3 Why do vampires and shifters exist? what’s the history of their respective species? where fo humands come into all this?? clearly they can turn others into one of them so how does THAT work?????? Nobody knows <3 it was. oddly touching for how funny it was. I’m surprised I liked it as much as I did?? Jason’s REALLY fucking funny and him dynamic with tim is great - Loved the lil bits with dick <3 I feel like there’s just so much that can be done with this and the idea behind it, but like. Honestly I love this for what it is already and I don’t really think it NEEDS anything more/else added. weirdly touching yet funny. <3

    ok coming back to this to see i found another one of this persons fics in the wild (it was 'Beef Consommé') and despite having like, a surprisingly similar ending tthat i didn't catch was similar until typing this just now , the main similarity was the humour. guys . guys it turns out ALL their shit is funny

    . heartbreaking news as i am now gonna have to go through the arduous task of moving my finger (difficult, taxing, laborious) across the trackpad of my computer (a harrowing journey, imagine traversing the desert if it had LESS water AND climate change) and press down on the subscribe button on their account now.. And also stalk their fandoms/works lists...... assuming that like, i haven't read all of them already w/out realising cause the 1st 3 fics i saw while skimming are ALSO. ones i've already read. Cause apparently i just have that much free time now i guess.
