belltriggerHate working Sundays. Why don't people have better things to do than come and destroy my store on a Sunday? STAY HOME AND SLEEP. Or just veg. This is a day of rest. SO DO EET.
I just hate Sundays in general; nothing on tv, no mail, people are not exactly active online. Nothing worse than having a crappy day at work, and coming home to nothing to cheer you up 8|
Been falling asleep all day too, so that's not exactly made my mood better. I'm not angry, just very meh >:|
On the plus side, grabbed a cheap tablet off Amazon. It's not wacom, but it was only 44 dollars 8| I'll be serious, y'all; I just want a tablet for doing meme on various topics. And that's gonna be about it... Which, of course, is why I got such a cheap-o tablet.
Tired... so I think I might just go to bed early if I don't get a second wind. =3=
EDIT: Didn't exactly get a second wind, but was stubborn and didn't wanna sleep. Played a couple of levels of Orochi Warriors 2, and leveled up Ling Tong only a whole bunch.
Then decided to watch Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker... Only got it cause it was supposed to have Robin/Tim Drake in it. And it did 8| He was very cute and adorable, until he got kidnapped by the Joker...
Two problems with the movie; the first one is a direct Batman series issue, and the second is just a peeve in general.
First: The other characters mention Nightwing/Dick Grayson enough that it's obvious he's a legitimate character in the series. And everyone knows that the real Nightwing keeps in touch with his friends and allies. Anyhoo, part of Nightwing's character is that he's very protective of Robin/Tim; he doesn't coddle him, but keeps a close watch on him in case he gets in trouble. Nightwing wouldn't let Robin be kidnapped, and even if he did, it would most certainly NOT take Batman, Nightwing, AND Batgirl (boo hiss) 3 WEEKS to find him.
Second... Hm, well, it's a little more complicated. In the real series, Tim Drake seeks Batman and Nightwing out, wanting to sort of jump-start Batman into finding a new Robin so he wasn't so depressed. A non-depressed Batman protects the city, right? And then Tim got to BE Robin, helping Batman, the Teen Titans, AND Nightwing all in one fell swoop. And while he was enthusiastic about it, he wasn't oblivious to the dangers. The boy's probably the smartest person in the entire DC universe - he's certainly not some wide-eyed, innocent waif who can't tell he's doing something that's dangerous but for the good of the city.
However, in this, Tim Drake was VERY insistent that he went through lots of therapy to get over the silly childish ideas that being a superhero was good. That it was a worthwhile endeavor. ..... So... since when was therapy used to either break people of idealistic thought processes or manipulate their personality to be less individualistic?
Something similar came up when I read Meet the Robinsons fanfiction. It was some overly complicated WilburxWilbur stuff (which I knew had to be unsettling, but I plowed forward anyway). Younger Wilbur goes forward in time to meet with his future self to...... uh... well.. ahem. Regardless, when he shows up, the future Wilbur is SO DISTRAUGHT that his 'overly excitable and troublesome' past self has arrived to mess up all the good that his therapy has done. He's 'normal' now because he had intense therapy and doesn't want to go back to that 'weird' way of acting.
.... wut?
Now... I think this person missed some of the lessons of Meet the Robinsons entirely 8| Wasn't it about being yourself, and that people should be free to live as quirkily as they want, providing it's harmless? Why would the Robinson family PUT Wilbur into therapy in the first place? I REALLY don't think it's to quell his personality, because honestly.... All the funny/strange things he does is because he's mimicking his family.
And honestly, running around with a robot taking pictures with historical figures is a lot less weird than creating giant canons, having full sized toy trains, and training frogs to sing. Just sayin'
