right moment, sunning
micropoetry
Bite sized. Tastes like spoiled almonds.

I found myself with nothing compelling to do last night and decided to watch Titans on HBO, the “dark take on Teen Titans”. I generally dislike super hero genre media, especially those films and shows from DC, but part of me has always kind of liked the idea of Teen Titans, or at least their characters (especially, for personality more than any other reason, Raven). If you haven’t watched it yet and are considering watching Titans, it is a lot grittier than I had expected, even given the description. The above was inspired by one of the scenes.
