was re-watching The Batman (2022) and i love how Officer Martinez loathes the goth, dark and brooding vigilante Batman with all his being but absolutely loves and adores wet kitten, babygirl, introverted, Mr. I-hate-people-and-going-outside Bruce Wayne.

Martinez calling Batman a freak but visibly smiling and waving at Bruce Wayne during a goddamn funeral. I love that man so much and he loves Bruce Wayne so much more.

I recently commissioned @shihoerusu, who was an utter and complete delight to work with - if you are looking for a commission, please do contact them! I can't recommend their art or their wonderful, kind, accomodating, patient manner enough! ♥ You know that feeling you get as a writer when you want to snap a picture of the mental image you had for a scene? This is that picture.

I asked for the final scene of my Alphangil/Fingon/Maedhros fic, Fractures. Alphangil went through hell and back and finally wakes up, scarred but safe, with her two men around her.

To the right and left of her in the large bed lay Fingon and Maedhros, both turned toward her and each other, hands joined over the center of her body and Fingon's green gem, even in sleep - for both slept, cocooning her in their warmth and strength. It finally convinced her that this ordeal was over. She laid her left hand lightly on theirs, closed her eyes and slipped back into sleep.

A headcanon that I don’t think is talked about nearly enough is Damian knowing Jason in LoA, and learning slang terms and pop culture references from him, but only the ones Jason knew about before he died, so Damian is occasionally using phrases that are at least 5 years out of date.

Dick: My time at the circus taught me to fold myself into a pretzel, and I can use that to hide in small spaces.

Damian: weird flex, but ok

—

Damian: (leaps from rooftop to rooftop)

Damian: Yeet!

—

Damian: Father, my mission report is complete and on fleek.

the batfam clocked that something might up regarding Jason’s death because when Damian came to Gotham he spoke like a victorian school boy 98% of the time UNLESS he was in a passionate debate/argument with somebody, at which point he would for some baffling reason unknowingly slip into a thick Crime Alley accent complete with slang terms and insults/sayings that the family have only ever heard spewed from Jason’s mouth. it blindsides them every fucking time and Damian doesn’t even realise he does it, just subconsciously picking up traits from his big brother back at nanda parbat without noticing.

rachel having a hollywood producer FLY OUT to her and ask her to take down her tweet and she still refuses? love her moral backbone. genuinely. [x] [x]

At some point when Jason and Dick are hanging out Dick goes on a rant about how as Nightwing he can’t lose it like red hood can and how he is sick of everything and how he is angry and how he would love to be able to lose it like red hood does every night just once

About a week later when Dick got back to his apartment after work there was a red hood suit crafted specifically for Dicks measurements with a note saying

“Go nuts Dickhead”

Now he should NOT do this it was a bad idea…but Jason is out of town for a couple of days and he wouldn’t want the ally left unprotected

Bruce was very confused when he saw his son who was supposed to be out of town blow up a warehouse

He was even more confused when said son looked like he had lost some of his bulky muscle it wasn’t super obvious but he was Batman and that was not red hood

He was gonna go stop the fake red hood when cass put a hand on his arm and said that he needed this and to let him have his fun

Dick blew shit up didnt hold his punch’s got to say the things he wanted to say but couldn’t cause they were to mean as Nightwing

Jason and Dick never discuss this but when ever Jason’s outa town he always makes sure that the red hood suit is on his brothers bed

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO 🇨🇩- HOW CAN WE HELP? WHY SHOULD WE BE AWARE? cw - descriptions of violence/ sexual violence/ slavery

Hello everyone, I am here to reach you on Congo, or the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). I will be sharing a synopsis of the history/what is currently happening in Congo, I will list my sources and I will provide resources where you can help/learn more about Congo. I want to ask you to PLEASE do your own research on this topic. Please, take some time out of your day to get a bit educated on the people of Congo, do not just go off my post. I want to to check out the sources I list and do your own research. If you find any more useful sources/information or find any misinformation or see anything problematic in my post, PLEASE MESSAGE ME, my messages are open.

DRC is a very rich environment - that is an unbelievable understatement. If you are a climate activist, or anybody I urge you to research this. Congo is a very rich land, it is filled with gold, diamonds, oil, zinc, cotton and cobalt and so, so much more. Alot of Congos conflicts are centred around want for resources. You can trace this back to colonialism, where the western world has and still does profit from the exploitation of African countries, and profits from them being unstable and corrupt.

I urge you to PLEASE watch this video here, it is by @ fa2chainz on tiktok, credit to her. The video briefly and clearly explores the connection between the exploitation of Africa and the western world. Its only a few minutes, you have the time. If you somehow don't you can save this to watch later.

Congo's land is extremely fertile. Home to MANY of Africa's rivers and lakes, the Congo Basin is one of Africa's largest forests. IF THIS FOREST IS DESTROYED, IT WOULD HAVE DETRIMENTAL AFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT. I implore you to become aware about this, because companies are buying land from this area to extract oil. They thrive on our ignorance, which is why we need to be educated on this and be protesting it. Again let me remind you, the degradation of this area can and will have devastating effects on the earth and the climate. And NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THIS. I HAD TO PURPOSELY LOOK FOR THIS INFORMATION. We need to be getting this information to the main media and have more attention put on it.

On Congolese environment (I will be listing many sources throughout this post, PLEASE let me know if you want a certain source removed/included and why)

Slavery in Congo

See your phone? Your laptop? Your car? They are all here from the blood/tears of Congolese men, women and children. Many of which have died to make the electronics we own today.

Congo is currently going through a SILENT GENOCIDE. Millions being killed so the West can benefit from its resources. Millions. Our brains may not be able to comprehend that amount, and it might not seem as drastic as it should. To put that in perspective, that is HIGHER THAN THE ENTIRE POPULATIOND OF IRELAND, ICELAND, BELIZE, MONACO. There are small island/countries amounts of people that have all been killed in the past years (since 1996). The roughly same number of people are displaced from their homes. And yet, there is nobody talking about this. No big celebrities or influencers, nobody will use their platform for Congo, I often wonder, how many more deaths will it take for them to finally care? How much more devastation and destruction will it take for them to use their platforms to say something?

Mining companies enslave men, women and children. "Will I send my child to school today, or will I eat?" Is what many people in Congo have to ask themselves. They will work literally to the death, in order to earn a miniscule salary to barley get by.

Congo is the world's largest reserve of Coltan, critical mineral needed for electronics, aerospace and innovation of technology. Every single electric car is made with the blood, swaet and tears of Congolese people. These cars are now being mass produced, advertised as a more environmentally friendly alternative, while the same companies are ruining some of the largest natural/fertile wildlife/plant life on earth. Please watch this video here by @ izzyeternal on tiktok, very informative on ethical consumption in relation to Congo.

War/violence - M23 - a very brief synopsis

Why is Rwanda involved? On Jan 27, Rwanda backed rebel group M23 claimed to have captured to city of Goma. Leading to millions displaced. Goma holds strategic importance as the region contains trillions of dollars in mineral wealth. I will link videos/a documentary that goes more in depth of the history behind this. M23 is estimated to have a few thousand members, but keeping in mind they are reportedly backed by the Rwandan government/army.

M23 reportedly make a million PER MONTH taxing the mines they own, this money funds their weapons and such. They kill THOUSANDS with heavy weaponry, in hospitals and displacement camps aswell. Women have been burned to death, bodies unrecognisable. This happens with M23 and the Congolese army, reports of 52 women raped by Congolese troops in South Kivu, including alleged reports of gang rape. Rape is used as a weapon of war, and has become so common place as if its routine. Mass graves have been uncovered, with victims in the hundreds of thousands - millions.

Alot of my information comes from these educational videos / a documentary and various websites. I will link so, I encourage you to check this out.

Website- here,

Videos(by news chanels) - here, here, here

Documentary- here, it is very insightful, explains the history and crimes happening in Congo. It is an hour and a half long.

But I do also encourage you to do further research, just incase there is any missunformation spread.

Violence against women/rape in Congo

"When the army came and attacked us, After they killed the children and my husband they grabbed me and cut my body up, poured red hot water and burned me. Then they all raped me. There was twenty - four of them. After two days, I was still lying there with the corpses, all seven children and my husband right next to me. And I was in shock. And when my heart was shocked, I lost my mind." - Exerpt from a woman named Georgetta in Congo sharing her story - HERE is the video, centred around the affects of rape/sexual violence in Congo.

In the video they also meet Rebecca Masika Katsuva, a woman from Congo who has helped THOUSANDS of women, rape victims and children born from rape, she was an amazing person, a hero who is NEVER TALKED ABOUT- HER STORY IS NOT KNOWN. Please learn about her HERE and HERE

"I've been working here for over 32 years. I have never seen what I'm seeing today. Never. Today with all the instances I see of child rape rising and I think it's a phenomenon that we absolutely must understand"

"Most of them are dying just here or before or they come and reach this place after, and they are not alive"

These are quotes from Denis Mukwege regarding child rape, he is a gynecologist from Congo, who founded Panzi hospital and works with thousands of rape victims. (Even nominated for a Nobel Peace prize in 2018) Quotes found in same video HERE learn more about Denis Mukwege HERE - I really hope to see more talking about these people/Congo in general.

“We face unimaginable horrors daily, enduring relentless violence, exploitation, and suffering that tear at the very fabric of our existence,” said Nelly Kongo, founder of Congolese Families for Joy and CARE’s partner. “Women who are raped cannot speak of their ordeal to anyone for fear of being stigmatized or ridiculed. Others are forced into marriages to combatants or coerced into prostitution to survive. Young girls are also being driven into sex work to support their families. Due to a lack of proper shelter, many families are sleeping outside, exposing children to the risk of kidnapping, while women face sexually transmitted diseases and infections due to rampant sexual violence. The situation is dire and will continue to deteriorate unless urgent action is taken.”

Additional regarding Journalists/journalism in Congo -

HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE

I would like to ask you to PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I SAID ANYTHING WRONG, Or if any sources I listed are spreading misinformation/problematic. The absolute last thing I intend to do with this post is to spread incorrect information or tarnish the names of anyone I talk about, or spread anything that has blatant lies. So if you see anything of the sort, or see something problematic/ offensive at all with this post my messages are open.

BOYCOTT FOR CONGO

Companies thrive of slavery in Congo, I mentioned technology earlier -

It would be great if you could look after our technology and make sure it lasts long, and not treat technology like its disposable - many have died for the cobalt in it. You can get a screen protector and a good phone case. MAKE SURE your tech is ethically sourced, refurbished or second hand/reused. You do not need that new IPhone, or laptop. You do not need to get constantly updated with technology.

MAKE SURE TO TRY BOYCOTT Apple, Samsung, HUAWEI, Tesla, BMW, General Motors, Motorola, Nokia, Google and Microsoft to the best of your ability. I understand this may seem impossible/unrealistic because of how widespread and powerful these companies are/how much we rely on them, I am asking you to be mindful and boycott to the best of your ability.

Also make sure your diamonds/gold are ethically sourced, Congo is very rich in diamonds/gold.

HERE is a website on Boycotting for Congo

HELP CONGO IN WHAT WAYS YOU CAN

We should be caring more about this, we should continue to pressure people with big platforms to speak up, since they could bring so much awareness to these issues around the world, and yet they are silent. This information isn't very widely known - and I had to purposely look for these, and the videos I watched have mostly under 1000 comments or likes. The world doesn't seem to care enough about the LITTERAL MILLIONS massacred. The more we stay silent the more complicit we are in this.

With this post I intend for people to know more about Congo, and do their own research/find our more. I hope people will begin to take more action.

PLEASE keep boycotting, share with the people around you, put posters/stickers up around your community/go to protests and rallies (If it's safe to do so and if there is any of course)

We need to be treating the tragedy in Congo as we do with other injustice around the world, with just as much coverage and awareness. Thank you for listening to my post, my posts don't usually get much traction so if you could please share this to a friend or a simple reblog, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks and free Congo <33 🇨🇩🇨🇩

ALSO!! Stream "Waters" by Lagrace - funds raised from that song go towards Congo. She is an amazing artist we should support.

+ bonus: Detective Dobson... what can I say? We didn't get to speak nearly as much as I ever would have liked, but I heard more about you than anyone ever could. And you sound heroic. The kind of guy that I could have worshipped as a child and an adolescent. Well into my 20's.

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters , my number verified on the list is ( #533 )✅️

Vetted by @bilal-salah0

speaking to you with a heavy and painful heart. I am sorry that I had to ask for help from you, but what we are living is what pushed me to do this.

a 31-year-old living amidst the war in Gaza, a place deeply affected by conflict and hardship. I hold a Bachelor degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences , I graduated with very good But Unfortunately, I did not get a job opportunity.

I am father to four beautiful children, My family consists of 6 individuals, My father , mother , Three girls and Three boys .

Before the outbreak of war, my family and I had a comfortable life in our beautiful home filled with cherished memories. However, since the conflict began, our lives have been turned upside down. We now find ourselves living in a small tent, exposed to the harsh elements and constant threat of violence.

Our home, which once embraced us, is now destroyed It became a remembrance

👉 Watch the video

A picture of me and my family in front of our destroyed house.

Our house was bombed in the 2008 escalation and we built it, and also in the 2014 escalation the house was destroyed again and we rebuilt it, and in this 2023/2024 war the house was also destroyed.

Every time we start again, the Israeli occupation destroys us again

Life is unbearable. It has become hell for us. destruction, no education, no future

We can't stand it anymore

The situation here is dire. Food and basic necessities are scarce, and famine and malnutrition have become rampant. Our lives are hanging by a thread, and we fear for the safety and well-being of our children every single day.

The cost of living here has become extremely high. All of our resources are going towards securing food and trying to escape from disaster, desperately seeking a lifeline.

We are yearning to escape this nightmare and rebuild our lives in a safe place.

However, the cost of traveling to a safer area was beyond our means.

Each ticket cost $5000 per person,

a sum that was impossible for us to bear. Now, the border crossing is closed, and things continue to worsen.

We want to collect donations to leave Gaza if the crossing opens

That's why I am reaching out to you, dear friends. Your generosity and compassion can make all the difference for me and my family. Your donations will enable us to flee this war-torn region and start anew, away from the horrors of conflict and instability.

Please, consider lending us a helping hand. Your support could mean the world to us and ensure the safety and future of my beloved family..

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering our plea.
