The Healthiest Fun...

thematically, Batman needs to be a good father. 'but he's the dark knight! but he's vengeance and the night! but he's a loner!' yeah sure whatever, but that's over looking several crucial factors of his story. Batman's real enemy is societal corruption, it's what killed his parents, it's what makes it impossible for him to only throw money at Gotham to fix it, it's the source of basically all of his rogues. and you know what flies in the face of societal corruption? kindness, compassion, a willingness to try to improve oneself. Batman fights it on the ground, dismantling large crime families as much as he stops muggers and rapists. Bruce Wayne fights it with money, with charm, with charities riddled with more good people than bad. the societal corruption Batman and Bruce Wayne is fighting is a wealthy, white, uppercrust aristocracy. and you know what's a part of that aristocracy? toxic masculinity and a near pathological refusal to be close to people. if Batman is really going to be a story about fighting against society and a rich man trying to use his privilege for good Bruce Wayne has to be shown fighting that influence even within his own home, by reaching out to his kids and being soft and sweet with them and not a bullshit toxic male fantasy that punches them in the face to prove a point (looking at the fucking court of owls dick grayson issue) he doesn't have to be perfect but he HAS to be more good than bad.

you can make the argument of Batman seeing them as soldiers and Bruce Wayne seeing them as his kids and the inherent conflict between the two but he has. to be. a good. father.

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

bakugou and todoroki headcanons

- bakugou: ‘i hate you’ todoroki, who doesn’t even know his name: ‘umm i’m really sorry to hear that…bryan’

- they crab-walk in the halls to intimidate each other

- todoroki: ‘you remind me of a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich on rye with extra pickles hold the mayonnaise’ bakugou: ‘yeah?! well you-‘

- bakugou: ‘actually wait what’ todoroki crying: ‘i don’t know man i’m just really hungry’

- bakugou throws paper at todoroki’s head in class. todoroki catches it in his mouth and just. chews and swallows

- bakugou: ‘I wanna be paired up with this guy so i can BEAT HIS ASS’ todoroki: ‘i don’t want to be paired up with-‘

- todoroki, struggling to remember his name: ‘b-backpain’

- bakugou: ‘shittalk me back! do it! DO IT!’

- todoroki reading off palm cards: ‘battering-ram, you shouldn’t be mean to me because i have fragile feelings and eyeballs and i can, and most definitely will, use them to cry’

- bakugou takes his shirt off to fight todoroki but todoroki just. puts it on and walks away
