This isn't really an 'OMG YOUR DRIVING SUCKS' post as much as a... 'OMG YOU MADE ME LOVE ROBIN WTFFFF' post. :>
Robin's far from my favorite character in Teen Titans, but the way you play him lends him a certain likeability... it's hard to explain! He's still Robin, and very much so-- having him going around stalking to people and keeping on top of things is so very much his style. But he isn't obnoxious about it-- maybe it's simply the change in setting or something, that he's interacting with a lot of characters out of his canon (which makes me rolllll in delight because eee! cross-canon interaction MAKES MY DAY YOU HAVE NO IDEA) but I like Robin helping organize and network and sort things out ICly.
I'm also really fond of your interpretation of him! Most of the people I've seen play him tend to err too much on the side of 'wrapped up in teen leader angst' for my liking, but so far I've never read a thread with him that didn't ring true to his character-- and most of them make me laugh aloud. >D You've got a good handle on his voice and seem to play him confidently, so all I can say is, KEEP ON ROCKIN'.
I think it's interesting that you say other TeenTitans-verse Robins brood too much -- I actually think that Robin is the least broody of the available Robins. Compared to the Robin in the comics and the Batman cartoon, TT!Robin is positively jolly. xD THANK YOU FOR THE HEART. IT BRINGS ME JOY AND HONOR. I MIGHT HAVE SHED TEARS.
Also I am fail with the etiquette of HMD posts. XD I'm supposed to screen comments or something aren't I.
*stalks profile* WAIT HOLD ON YOU POUPEE? :O:O:O I don't do it as much lately because it has become IMPOSSIBLE since the redesign/insistent rape BUT HOLY SHIT WOMAN I never thought I'd find a poupee player in LJ RP. xD
I think it comes from people wanting to blend Titans-verse with some of comic canon interpretations, or something. AND AT LEAST HE DOESN'T TURN INTO the JOKER?
lol yes usually, and anon too. BUT I DON'T CARE. MY AFFECTION IS SHAMELESS.
and yes, yes I am. X3 I also really suck at keeping up with it! I've never completed one month of dressups... ;Q;
Which is silly because there IS a toonverse Dick Grayson with all the grit and backstory of comic canon readily available. xD Though man his hair is an embarrassment. AND YES. Tim Drake will ALWAYS have it worse in every canon ever. I don't know why every canon hates him so much in completely different ways.
WELL. OH. I need to figure out how to do that. xD I've always been a total spazz about HMD posts, but with Robin I've been self-conscious about playing comic!Robin rather than TT!Robin and figured SOMEONE would keep me in check if I derailed. xD So. Apparently I am needing to be messing with LJ options. xD AND ALSO THANK YOU AGAIN.
AAAHHH WHERE ARE YOU ON POUPEE I WANT TO DEVOUR YOU IN FRIENDNESS AND COMMENTSPAM. I am here (http://pupe.ameba.jp/profile/gJZJyt6l7XmL/) and have been wearing the same dresses for like two weeks because I've been lazy and yet still ribbon-hungry.
I know, seriously. XD I'm not even that much of a Batman fan, but the stuff they put the poor boy through is just fucking ridiculous enough that I've heard of it. I don't think Tim Drake was the Robin Batman apparently kidnapped from the circus and then BACKHANDED for crying (WTF) but omg. Robins have the saddest lives.
I'D TELL YOU HOW but I always forget, myself. XD I think you're doing a good job so far! TT is really a lighthearted show despite half the crap going down in it, and I don't think Robin's teammates would let him stay in a funk for long. D;
I AM ON AT ACADEMICED I think I added you but I'm not sure how Poupee even works anymore.
OH AHAHAHAHA noooo that was Dick in one of the maaaaany alternative the Batman/Robin side-universe origin stories. xD It's also the source of "I'm the goddamn Batman". Like it's not enough your parents are dead, kid. Welcome to hell have fun being adopted into child slavery! But NO MAN comicverse Tim is like "Being Robin is a cool afterschool job!" until people find out he's Robin and kill his dad so he quits being Robin and then his GIRLFRIEND is like "Oh cool that means there's a position open right? :D" and steals his place and then it gets her killed (but it pissed off the readers because she was Robin for like an hour so she gets better) and Tim's like "siiiigh I hate everyone" and moves out to be Robin and brood privately and then like everyone in his life either betrays him or gets killed and it's the most horrible thing ever. That was a very long sentence and I apologize for it. In short, they really do. :(
YOU ARE AWESOME AND SUPPORTIVE AND CAN I BUY YOU A PUPPY
ALSO YAY YOU ARE FRIENDED BACK. Your dressups are awesome and stylish when you make them :O <3
OMG YES IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME. For serious, everything I know about comics, I got from scans_daily... and yet I can still recognize everything you mentioned in that excellently depressing summary of Dick's life. WHICH IS THE ROBIN JOKER GETS TO KILL AGAIN, because oh god that was kind of horrifying.
I LOVE PUPPIES, SO YOU TOTALLY CAN \o/
Why thank you~ ♥ I shall probably upload moar shit and be all materialistic again, now that I actually have a reason to be.
Dick: YAY I LIVE IN A CIRCUS whoops dead parents. :( WOO NOW I'M RICH! AND STILL KIND OF IN A CIRCUS. But Batman is MEAN TO ME Imma move out and be Nightwing and have daddy issues forever. Jason: I'M SO BADASS. IT'S THE 80S AND BADASSERY IS IN. I STEAL HUBCAPS OFF THE BATMOBILE. But oops the fans hate me and DC had a phone-in poll and readers decided I suck too much to live. So I'll stupidly go after the Joker all by myself, get beaten up a lot with a crowbar, and be left for Batman to find my smoldering corpse in the ruins of some recently-exploded shack in the desert. Tim: I WAS THE NORMAL ONE AND THEN EVERYONE WENT CRAZY AROUND ME. Fuck you guys Imma chill with Superboy OH WAIT I CAN'T HE DIED TOO. I hate my life. :( Stephanie: HEY. SUP. I GOT TO BE ROBIN FOR AN HOUR! I COUNT TOO!
I'm pretty sure Jason got over being dead, but I stopped paying attention sometime after Steph died. I think there's another new Robin happening now, but it gets more convoluted than I care to deal with. xD
YAY. IT'LL BE A CUTE PUPPY WITH A RIBBON LIKE IN THE END OF LADY AND THE TRAMP. OR THE BEGINNING. OR. SOMETHING.
xDD No man don't bother. Poupee has gotten fully RIDICULOUS with all the new renovations. I think there's a cap on how many times you can upload for ribbons -- it used to be ten but now it's like two or something? And the jewel system has already proven that nobody will be able to access good-looking fashions without paying real-person money. xD And fuck that. And the market's dead and it's all very frustrating and yet I still dress up. Siiiigh I need a real life. xD
