dick and jason have so many cool parallels especially if jason is a villain it actually makes their relationship more interesting and meaningful. the concept of brothers in blood is so great!!! please tell what you wish was different about this story!!!

hi anon!! thank you for sending me the ask like i begged in that post shfdjshkf

compulsory disclaimer: i like working within the confines of the text, when they aren’t rooted in misconceptions of the characters in the first place. i think pre-flashpoint pre-morrison jason deserves the same treatment and so does dick's view of jason considering all the other extenuating circumstances

ANYWAYS, my main issue with brothers in blood is that jason doesn't seem to have a plan like at ALL. he just shows up and starts killing people...? i i believe that dick's jason event was not fully capitalized on and that jason's character suffers for it. like he never really comes off as a fully threatening rogue, dangerous and cunning in his own right; his main schtick is "needless" violence and that's really it 😭

unlike with bruce and mia, for bruce jason literally engineered a drug coup, he ran circles around batman and taunted him with hints and clues slowly until the revelation of his return (after which bruce goes on a hunt for evidence himself to see if it's true). jason then maneuvered him into an impossible situation where he had to choose between letting jason kill the joker or killing jason to stop him from doing it, wherein jason not only bared his soul and anger and hurt but also pushed bruce to do the same. and when pushed to make the final decision, bruce is panicking. he's shaking, he can't think straight. and when he hits falsely he's completely distraught and i know that it haunts him.

and i think that's the type of psychological anguish jason should always be inflicting onto his opponents!!!! after mia's encounter with jason, she was like this:

and that's after jason dug up her entire history and taunted her about it. and then he blew up her high school.

and guess what happened right before OYL, right before brothers in blood... yeah. devin grayson's trauma speedrun arc which culminated in the entire city of bludhaven being leveled by chemo

i honestly think that jason Would go there. and i think it would've made for a more intense fight, coupled with the resentment dick already displays in the comic! and i think it's a damn shame that brothers in blood flopped in execution when there was a lot of potential in its concept and setup :/

that's also why i don't like teen titans #29. jason comes off as just another jealous guy taking out his daddy issues on a teenager with no thought or regard for anything else but violence. his only semblance of a plan is in incapacitating the titans, and after that he doesn't really think anymore? jason's also unable to get a reaction from tim, like i said. jason is screaming out his feelings and going U REALLY THINK U COULD REPLACE ME???? meanwhile tim is just like: "mm yeah im better than you idgaf". it's really unsatisfying. i expected better from jason and in fact i do not think that he would be emotionally unstable enough to be this careless with tim. his biggest turmoil lies with bruce and even with BRUCE he's cunning. so,,, yeah

So, have you ever listened to the voices and made a next-gen mlp au about deconstructing ships and having atypical family dynamics instead of stereotypical nuclear family dynamics? No? Just me? 

Anyway, here’s Archive! My Sparity fankid! So, to be honest I’m not a fan of Sparity because of the massive age gap between them and the fact that Rarity’s known Spike since he was a child. In reality, this relationship wouldn’t work out. I felt compelled to break down why Sparity isn’t the ideal endgame romance for Spike and Rarity and that’s how Archive was born!  

Archive lives with her Aunt Twilight Sparkle and her father Spike. Despite living with Spike he isn’t her primary caregiver, Twilight is. Spike is more of a brother to Archive than a father and Twilight is more of a mother to her than an aunt. Archive was born when Spike was 18-19 and he couldn’t handle raising her on his own, so Twilight took over for him. Twilight mostly raised Spike as a child, so taking care of Archive came naturally to her. Archive is a master at categorizing and organizing Twilight’s massive library. She has a love for history and studies it ravenously. She believes that by documenting current events the mistakes of the present can be avoided in the future. ( All of her records and journals will surely survive the test of time, right? The next generations will be able to read her documents. They won’t be lost or destroyed and ponies will be able to learn from them and avoid repeating past mistakes. Wait what do you mean the history of G4 is lost in G5-) 

Archive has a strained relationship with her bio mom, Rarity. Don’t get it twisted, Rarity loves her daughter and doesn’t regret having her, but she recognizes that dating Spike wasn’t a good idea. Rarity was desperate to settle down and start her own family. Years of failed romances were weighing heavy on her. Spike, no longer a little boy, but a fully grown man now, decided to shoot his last shot and ask his childhood crush out for the last time. He figured she would say no but to his surprise, Rarity agreed to give him a chance! 

Unfortunately for Spike and Rarity, their relationship didn’t work out. Despite her best efforts Rarity never felt right dating Spike. He may have been a grown man when they started dating, but Rarity could never forget the child he once was. The child who came to Ponyville riding on Twilight’s back, the child who looked at her like she hung the stars and moon in the sky. The child she watched blossom from a small baby dragon to a gangly awkward teenager to a man. A man she agreed to date. No matter how much she tried to excuse or rationalize it, it just felt wrong. 

Surprisingly, Rarity and Spike's friendship remained strong when Rarity broke things off with Spike, but the same could not be said for Rarity’s friendship with Twilight. Twilight was taken aback when Rarity agreed to date Spike, but she did try to support their relationship. However, Twilight just couldn’t stomach Rarity dating Spike. Twilight raised Spike ever since he was a baby. She held him for hours when he was crying and rocked him to sleep. She kissed his scrapes and gave him bandaids. She taught him how to read and write. She gave him the talk when he was a teenager. Spike may be an adult, but he’ll always be her baby brother. Rarity, one of the first friends she formed a genuine and strong bond with, watched Spike grow up alongside her, is now dating him? It feels wrong. It feels like a betrayal. Twilight desperately tried to overlook her issues with their relationship, but in the end, she just couldn’t. Her friendship with Rarity became strained and would have ended altogether had Rarity not discovered she was pregnant with Archive soon after her breakup with Spike. Nowadays Twilight keeps civil with Rarity and remains in contact with her for Archive's sake, but Archive can tell her aunt resents her mother.

Rarity maintains contact with Archive and tries to visit her whenever she can but with her fashion empire, raising her other kids, and her personal problems she can’t always see Archive as much as she wants to. Archive feels awkward whenever she interacts with her mother because Rarity feels like a stranger to her. She thinks Rarity regrets having her. Archive never says it, but sometimes thinks her family would be better off if she were never born. This isn’t true. Spike, Rarity, and Twilight all agree that the best thing to come out of Spike and Rarity’s past relationship was Archive. If only she knew that.

This week's episode is written by Kureha Matsuzawa.. I expect a small scene towards the end of the episode showing the Explorers side of things to establish where this chapter will be heading for them.

The show has been pretty consistent with their appearances every chapter (featuring them at the beginning, middle, and climax of each chapter), so I guess we'll see Amethio's side of things this week? He was featured in the promotional poster for Rayquaza Rising, so he has to appear at some point anyway. I think it'll be pretty similar to HZ026 (opening episode of chapter 2, which was also written by Kureha Matsuzawa). That episode mostly showcased Liko and Terapagos, and Liko deciding to take Terapagos to Rakua and asking everyone for their help. Amethio was shown at the end of that episode in contrast to Liko's situation, etc. I wonder what Amethio's resolve will be for the upcoming chapter.

It really is like my brain went, "Wow, those are powerful intrusive thoughts you've got there. You know what's more powerful? Your desire to see this guy traumatized. Have 1.5 days of maladaptive daydreaming about them."

Ray's After Ending is so funny because for a good chunk of it, most of the RFA members are knocked out by V's sleeping gas (Saeran is immune, Saeyoung isn't present bc he was kidnapped by his agency under his father's orders and MC wakes up in like an hour) but the game has a call feature where you can call the characters and it would be a waste if you couldn't use it bc the characters were unavailable so instead they have other people pick up the call (Jumin's driver picks up Jumin's phone, Jumin's father picks up Zen's phone, Yoosung's friends and mom pick up Yoosung's phone and Jaehee's coworkers pick up Jaehee's phone) and we do get to learn about the characters from outsider's point of view but it's so funny to me that these people are visiting their loved ones and suddenly the phone rings and they decide to just. answer it. and start talking to this stranger they've never met

Day 16: Antlers

It's common to feel as if you're being watched in the woods. In such a dangerous world, it's perfectly reasonable to be on guard. There's a reason these old growth forests have gone "untouched" for so long.
