Snowflake Challenge 2023 - Day 1 & 2

[smilebackwards]

Challenge #1 - Update your fandom information

Transformative Works Policy: I have blanket permission for podfic, translation, art, etc. Please link me to anything because I want to see!

Current Passion: I have fallen hard back into Batman/DCU and Star Wars. I'm rewatching animated Batman and the new Star Wars stuff (Kenobi, Andor). I'm always at least low-key in these fandoms along with Lord of the Rings, Stargate, and X-Men. Honorable mention for Shadowhunters and The Old Guard.

Where to Find Me: smilebackwards or smilebackwards mostly

Challenge #2 - Write a promo, manifesto or primer for your fave character, ship or fandom.

TIM DRAKE! My beloved 3rd Robin. He definitely fits my character type of smart, heroic, seems straight-laced but is actually insane, with bonus lack of self-preservation skills. This boy said Batman is doing a Bad Job and I am going to fix him.

I've written fic and have 3 more Tim focused WIPs destroying my brain. I have many fic recs. I have multiple tumblr tags because at some point I gave up on trying to organize DC stuff, it's impossible: tim drake, timkon, batfam. I am forever screaming into the void about how they refuse to re-print the Red Robin trade paperbacks.

And here's a favorite vid.

Watch on YouTube

Please yell about Tim with me ♥

Two challenges answered in one post, now that's what I call good value! I love that you've posted recs and vid links to demonstrate your fandom joy. That's awesome.

Eternally behind on posting stuff! A few years ago I did a 3-in-1 post lol.

I'm not generally good at describing exactly why I like things, but I absolutely will throw my scrapbook of links at people in an attempt to convey my joy :)

I'm always so impressed when I see a vid for comics. So creative! And they managed to invoke movement pretty well.

I'm going to go ahead and say based on this post Tim Drake is now my favorite Robin, too. (I'm too casual a DC fan to know many) I'm on board, sign me up!

Yes, new Tim Drake convert! I love all the Robins but he is the best :)

I think this was actually one of the first vids I ever watched and I was like 'how??' I still kind of am but I could maybe figure out some of the process now!
