idk if this is a boomer take but I think ppl should make more of an effort to go see movies in theaters bc I couldn’t bear it if the movie theater industry went down and the only way to watch movies was through streaming I’m not strong enough
Actually I’ll make it even more boomer because I genuinely think it’s a good thing for people to have a reason to put down social media for an hour or two and just focus all their attention on a movie together and get fully immersed like I think that’s good practice for our attention spans and ultimately for our mental health (unless you’re a person who uses your phone during the movie in the theater in which case uh idk die)
It’s fucking INSANE how effective these fucking gacha games are at marketing things nobody gives a fuck about. WHY do you give any shits at all about dead Japanese race horses? Because of anime bitches. Three years there’s gonna be a gacha game about chemical companies n u guys are gonna be all “every time I drink a glass of water I get so happy imagining PFOA-chan entering my body and becoming a part of me” n blasting creamy ribbons across EPA contamination reports.
I really love how angry and defensive people get over this post every few weeks
people who learned about greek mythology due reasons that DONT involve having read percy jackson at 12 freak me out, like what the FUCK was going on in your life that you found out that zeus turned into a pigeon to woo his wife like HOW
fanon really overstates the amount of fame any of bruce’s kids have, but on the other hand they do have some amount of newsworthiness/clout in certain circles. i’m thinking specifically of tim and his time working at wayne enterprises - he’s only majority shareholder in name and for a very short amount of time, but he does work with the neon knights program and delivers a press conference about that, plus has the article about him written by vicki vale, etc.
but the thing about tim drake is that he’s not a businessman at heart. his natural state of being is either on a skateboard or in a car, or maybe under a car tinkering with it. tim thinks of himself as like, just some guy. we’ve all seen the quote from the yj98 yearbook insert, right? “i’m just one of the guys. really!” he has no passion for business or economics or whatever; he wants to help people and he wants to do his vigilante work, and he wants to build gadgets and solve mysteries. he only got involved in wayne enterprises because he wanted to stop ra’s al ghul’s takeover through hush.
what i’m getting at is that i just don’t think there’s any sort of constant paparazzi presence in his life. the only times he’s been in the news about that sort of thing was a) right after bruce adopted him, and b) when doing his neon knights work. but in his day-to-day life, regular ol’ skater boy gearhead tim drake in his green day t shirt with the sleeves ripped off does Not look like the same guy from the neon knights press conference. and he’s not trying to, and he prefers it that way! and like, idk about any of y'all, but i definitely wouldn’t be able to pick out any of, like, elon musk’s kids out of a lineup, no matter how famous that man’s incredibly punchable face is or how rich and potentially involved in business his kids might be. ditto for most famous billionaires, and it’s honestly debatable if bruce himself even is a billionaire. people who really keep up with local celebs and pop culture would probably be able to identify tim drake in a suit walking down the sidewalk in the business district, but the average rando probably would not. that’s just some rich dude. and if he’s just some guy wearing crocs with socks on a skateboard with machine grease smeared on his hands, no one is gonna go “hey, is that tim drake?” because they don’t even know that’s his natural habitat. no one thinks “tim drake” and pictures a gearhead on a skateboard.
basically what i’m saying here is that, in a way, if you think about it, tim drake is kind of like a reverse tony hawk,
