tony: hm binarily augmented retro-framing,, B.A.R.F. lol
beck: im gonna kill so many kids because of this..
dont you know joker he promised his mom that hed never say the f word
What she says: I'm fine
What she means: it's canonical fact that ryuji sakamoto is an abuse survivor, both in personal and professional life. An alcoholic father that everyone knew about to at least talk poorly of in relation to ryuji's anger when treated unfairly, Kamoshida's verbal and physical abuse to the point that it disabled ryuji and ruined his chances at an athletic scholarship and potentially the Olympics, and the treatment of the student body who ostracized him to the point of almost quitting school before his meeting with the protagonist. And despite all that injustice and therefore, justified anger, ryuji still finds it in himself to be kind to the point of self- destruction. Every action he's undertaken in the face of literal evil has been on behalf of others: wanting to take down Kamoshida because of the man's abhorrent actions towards the student body, almost getting hit by a car in pursuit of Makoto and the mafia, picking a fight with Haru's shit fiance, and almost dying on Shido's ship to save the team. This canonically abused character still finds it in him to be compassionate, to fight for others because he believes himself too late to be saved. His greatest strength is in reaching out and lending a hand to others, regardless of their reputation or actions, i.e. him screaming for protagonist to run despite not knowing him at all beforehand in Kamoshida's palace, him agonizing and screaming for Akechi despite the latter's unjustifiable murders, and his quickness to jump to any of the teammates' aid when threatened. The fact that despite all of this information about ryuji, the game narratively continues to shit on him and overlooks his past abuse and circumstances in favor for comedic effect: him letting himself get beat by ex-track team members to alleviate their anger, the phantom thieves' treatment in ignoring his side of things, not defending him when others berate him, famously beating him right after he almost lost his life trying to save them, and leaving him alone in sketchy places because he "deserved" it, and it was "funny". It is to the point that, as if punishing ryuji isn't enough within the game, both gameplay and anime highlights his only redeeming feature in being so self- loathing that it increases his need to sacrifice himself, well-being be damned. Ryuji sakamoto is a loyal sweetheart while also being as flawed as anyone, yet is hated for those same flaws. it makes my blood boil at the unfairness, how not even in reality is he in safe hands. And by that, I cry about it all the time.
Sakamoto Ryuji is a trans man and you CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND.

“What are you doing here, Pennyworth?” Jarvis hissed.
Alfred turned from his binoculars, narrowing his eyes. “Edwin Jarvis. I’d hoped we’d never cross paths again.”
“Once I see my charge is well and truly safe, I’ll be on my way,” Jarvis told him stiffly. “He won’t tell me who his new beau is, so I must make sure he’s not being taken advantage of.”
Alfred scoffed, returning his attention back to his binoculars. “If you really cared about his safety, you wouldn’t have let him step foot in Gotham.”
Jarvis sniffed in disgust. “I trust him with a lifelong Gothamite.”
“I wouldn’t,” Alfred muttered as Jarvis set up beside him with his own pair of binoculars.
“He’s got a watch gauntlet now,” Jarvis added. “And he promised to use it if he was being mugged this time.”
At that, Alfred gave a slight nod of approval. Despite all the weapons Tony Stark had designed, he’d always been hesitant to get into hand-to-hand combat.
“...Pennyworth,” Jarvis said after a moment.
Alfred sighed, loudly. “What?”
“Check your three o’clock,” Jarvis finished.
Alfred swiveled to his three o’clock. There, he caught the familiar navy blue turtleneck he’d helped Bruce pick out. Bruce had carefully turned his back to the windows, as if he’d sensed Alfred would be following him the second he wouldn’t tell him anything about his beau. Across the table from him... was Tony Stark.
Alfred stared for a long moment, then lowered his binoculars to look at Jarvis. “Jarvis,” he said slowly. “Why does Bruce think Tony is poor?”
“I don’t know, but the reason is probably the same as why Tony thinks Bruce is poor,” Jarvis sighed, running a hand over his face tiredly.
Alfred sighed as well. Well, he supposed this explained how cagey Bruce had been, simply saying ‘his name’s Tony. He’s not taking advantage of me because he doesn’t know I’m Bruce Wayne.’ He guessed the same could be said for Tony, if the way Jarvis was pinching the bridge of his nose was any indication.
“Well, at least it’s not some weirdo from Metropolis,” Jarvis finally said, nodding to himself, and Alfred reached over to clap a hand to his shoulder and squeeze in agreement.
Then they both picked up their binoculars again and watched as both Bruce and Tony ordered the cheapest things on the menu and then bickered over who was paying. Honestly.
Why is no one talking about Haru and Ryuji’s interaction in Will Power! Ryuji keeps making random noises and Haru is like copying him. Haru: “Do I make a good delinquent too? Rawr!~” Like she just keeps making random rawr sounds with him, it’s so cute!!!! (Edit: Tumblr being a binch with the audio, ugh)
Finally took the plunge and commissioned an artist for the first time in my life
@sreppub‘s style is so soft and cute and- gah! *flails* so perfect for getting my idea’s of mine and @robuttdowneyjr‘s version of pepperony wedding ~just right~
(it’s not even been one hour yet but you catch my drift)
