i don’t think people who don’t read comics/mostly read wfa understand how much of a dweeb tim drake actually is because he was supposed to be a Good Role Model For Tween Boys in the 90s. one time he found out his roommate at boarding school was an alcoholic so he poured all his alcohol down the drain instead of just ignoring it like a normal person. his girlfriend wanted to have sex with him and instead of just saying “i’m not ready” he launched into a monologue about how “making love is like opening a door” and he “isn’t ready to open that door yet” because they “might have adult feelings for each other, but [they’re] still just kids.” 90s tim was the type of kid to remind the teacher to assign homework. he somehow got mad bitches even though everyone highkey thought he was weird. in one panel of one issue he randomly said he had to be “vewwy quiet” and never spoke like that again. he canonically plays dungeons and dragons (or the fictional dc equivalent). the money his dad left him after he died wasn’t even a lot because his dad went bankrupt shortly before his death. like it was a substantial amount but not enough to make him rich. i cannot stress enough that tim was SUCH a Regular Guy TM and constantly worried about not standing out. he purposefully did bad at sports and pretended to be winded in gym class so people wouldn’t suspect anything. like he wouldn’t even try and be average, he would purposefully almost fail. he is not a cool rich skater kid guys he’s such a dork
Concept:
Kunikida watching in confusion as Ranpo jumps out of his chair, runs over and grabs the box out of his hand.
“Ranpo? What are you-“
“Get something else.”
It sounds like an order because it was one.
Kunikida frowns, he didn’t think his gift was all that bad. It was a lot more sensible then whatever Dazai had decided to gift Atsushi.
And yet Ranpo’s expression was one weighed heavy by sadness. “I’m afraid I don’t understand” Kunikida confessed to the older detective.
“You don’t want too…” was all Ranpo would tell him. Kunikida left it there, deciding it was best to simply follow Ranpo’s judgment.
He left with a new goal and enough time to spare.
Ranpo watched him leave before looking down at the gift box. He carefully placed buried it his snack drawer. A place no one else would dare open.
Atsushi deserved a birthday where he could be happy and for just a moment be untroubled by his past.
That wouldn’t happen if he opened Kunikida’s gift to find a silver watch inside.
me when my head hurts a lot and i start seeing the rashomon man
It's been a while since I drew something realistic, so I decided to do so and do a little rendering study!
Aku after Atsushi comes back and the fight has "ended", immediately runs over to Atsushi to make he sure he's okay. And they meet eachother with a hug.
Atsushi: omg omg....I am back! I am alive!
Akutagawa: omg...you are back...you are okay
*squeezing eachother aggressively*
Atsushi: I thought I was dead...you were dead
Akutagawa: we are fine...we are fine...
*Atsushi pulls away*
Atsushi: wait, we are enemies! We are supposed to be on opposite sides not THIS!!!
Akutagawa, sighs: Weretiger, I didn't ask them to return you the ADA but to ME
Atsushi: oh...oh..
*meanwhile*
Aya: you aren't gonna stop this?
Fyodor: all these years I have learnt how important reunions can be.
Aya: so you're sentimental
Fyodor: ah to be young...
Can tigers purr? No, but is it cute anyway? yeah
