the problem with trying to make Jason Todd’s point - that what Batman’s doing is ineffective and not enough to stop crime in Gotham - more legitimate in canon is that you’d have to skirt around the real reason all of Batman’s efforts isn’t stopping crime, that being that otherwise you wouldn’t have a story

the seemingly popular route by people who don’t actually know a lot about batman is that he’s not putting enough money into it (false, he does, it’s everywhere in canon) or that Gotham is magically cursed to forever be an awful garbage city which are both… not things you can solve by going on a killing spree

and, even worse for Jason, nothing Jason does can ever or will ever be more effective than what Batman is doing, because again, otherwise you wouldn’t have a story. so Bruce and Jason are now stuck coming at a problem cursed to never be solved from opposite sides, but jason has yet to learn the value of hope and in doing things not because it fixes the problem but because it keeps it from getting worse

You've heard about the Madonna/Whore complex, now I propose Mary/Medea: a fictional mother must be an absolute perfect selfless saint whose identity revolves solely around her children, or else be a selfish abusive demon with no redeeming qualities whatsoever

Being someone who read Under The Red Hood and came out with the firm belief that, for Jason, it's not about killing Joker, it's about Jason wanting proof Batman would choose him over the Joker (bc shelia chose the joker). Makes seeing any other media where it's all about just wanting the Joker dead is a teeny bit frustrating. to be honest

Jason could've killed the Joker himself, really, really easily. Jason kidnaps the Joker before the confrontation. I can't open my comic for a reference right now, but it felt like he had the Joker for quite a bit before the confrontation. He had him. He beat him up with a crowbar. He had every single opportunity to kill the Joker himself, but he didn't because that wasn't his goal. Make no mistake, he did plan for the Joker to be dead by the end of it, but do you see what im trying to say here

Three panels featuring sokka, zuko and kya from Avatar: The Last Air Bender. 

In the first panel, we see sokka from the side, bust up, lying in a bed with a red cushion. He is looking towards the viewer, holding a strand of black hair in his hand in front of him. 

The second panel shows zuko from the waist up. Lying in the same bed as sokka,  head placed on a  red pillow. Black hair pooling all around him. His back is turned to the viewer that sees sokkas POV from the previous panel. Sokkas hand is in the foreground, inspecting the hair strand more closely. 

The third panel shows kya in the same position, with her back turned to the viewer, just like zuko in the panel before. Head resting on a pale gray pillow with fur texture. Sokkas hand in the foreground is smaller, holding onto strands of dark brown hair.
Three panels featuring sokka and kya from Avatar: The Last Air Bender. 

The first panel shows, on the left, little sokka lying on his belly on top of fur bedding. He is looking at the hair strands in his hand. On the right is his mother, kya. You don't see her face yet. 

The second panel has kya on the right, turning towards her son.  Face still  slightly out of frame  but you see her mouth open. as if she noticed her son's movement and is checking on him. sokka is looking up at his mother. Pulling the hair strands closer to him. 

The third panel has kya turned on the side towards her son. One hand lovingly placed on his cheek. Speaking softly to him. We, as viewers, don't know what she says. Small tears are welling up in sokkas eyes.
Three panels featuring sokka, kya and zuko from Avatar: The Last Air Bender. 

In the first panel, we see a close-up frame of kya's face, lovingly looking at her son. her hand still on his cheek. Sokkas small silhouette in the foreground. 

The second panel brings us back to the present. A close-up of an older sokka looking in disbelief at the scene in front of him. The tears escaping his eyes. a pale hand has reached out and is carefully brushing a huge tear away from sokkas eye. 

The third panel reveals zuko in the same position as kya before in Panel 1, concerned looking towards sokka, mouth open as if he is asking "what's wrong"
Three panels show a sequence featuring sokka and zuko from Avatar: The Last Air Bender. 

In the panels, we see sokka and zuko from above lying in bed. sokka on the left, zuko on the right. The light is shining in from the right. 

In the first panel, sokka is looking at zuko, still crying and zuko still leaning towards him, concerned. 

In the second panel, sokka pushes himself towards zuko, burring his face into his partners' chest and putting an arm around the other. zuko looked shocked and confused at the top of sokkas head. 

The third and last panel is sokka curled up between zukos arms, openly crying into zukos chest. zuko holding him lovingly between his arms, offering comfort.

(ID in ALT Text) Happy very, very late Mother's Day!

I am not saying that zuko is sokkas substitute for kya. or they look in any way similar! The whole concept here is that something was happening at the moment, be it how they were laying in bed, how the hair pooled over the pillow, or how sokka was able to hold onto it. It just brought sokka back. It triggered a memory, and suddenly he relived a brief memory. Making him suddenly miss his mother again. hope you enjoy!

Essay was due 22 hours ago. I have approximately 300 words. I have spent an hour calculating my minimum grades cause requirement to pass the module, and I have to say that was significantly more engaging than my mostly blank word document is.

Its the time of day where I begin to calculate how badly I can do on this assignment before failing my course, and good news folks! I literally just have to hand in a piece of work! Yipee! Suicide plans. Who? Draft text to my family to tell them I’m a disgrace. Whats that? Life is good, don’t let anyone make you forget that.

Nothing more embarrassing than logging into Ao3 to investigate a new ship and realising that you dont understand the fandoms tagging etiquette. Where are all my favourite tags? Why are they worded slightly differently? Why are there zero fics of my favourite tag? What is going on? Have I been spoiled by SuperBat shippers? Where is the drama? The secrets? The found family?

This is how Doakes felt.

I've always disliked mr beast just based on his content mill vaguely exploitative vibes so it's been kind of wild learning he also does legitimate crimes and workplace violations. it's like disliking an acquaintance because they're kinda annoying and then finding out they kill people too like damn dude you didn't have to do all that i already hated your ass.

Once when i was younger i ate a lego brick and went to my living room to inform my father who without hesitation or panic shoved two fingers down my throat, forced me to vomit the lego back up, then sent me to my room and we never addressed the situation again.

I like to imagine something similar happening on GCPDs rooftop.

I bring a certain “Bruce and Dick should be allowed to be and always have been a non-standard dynamic. That’s the point—that in everyone who’s ever lived they, in a one-in-a-billion chance, found eachother and found home in the other. Not through blood or nuclear (family) labels, but in the recognition that “you’re just like me” and all that that encapsulates in it’s ambiguity” vibe to the function that a lot of batfamers don’t love

i actually fucking hate mentioning IT and the person i’m talking to goes “oh the movie with the clown??” like. yeah. i fucking guess. IT IS THE LEAST IMPORTANT CHARACTER IN THE WHOLE FILM. IT’S FOUND FAMILY. IT’S BOYS IN LOVE IN THE 80s. IT’S BREAKING THE CYCLE. IT’S A GIRL BEING ONE OF THE BOYS. but i guess the stupid fucking dancing clown was also there. wasting everybody’s FUCKING TIME and killing RICHIE TOZIER’S BOYFRIEND

bruce: i noticed that my vodka supply was dwindling and confronted jason (23) and tim (17), who pointed the finger at damian (14), who guiltily confessed to making penne allá vodka “several times” over the last month

bruce: of course i didn’t believe him, until i watched him execute it flawlessly. i guess it’s a tiktok thing?
