Jason being brought back to life and deciding ‘fuck it we ball’ so he enrolls himself in medical school: a fabulous concept, very well done

Jason being brought back to life and deciding ‘fuck it we ball’ so he enrolls himself in medical school then proceeds to become besties with Harley, ex physiatrist who survived medical school, also hates the joker, and is very down to help Jason any way she can because goddamnit she’s done this before: a concept I propose

[bluespiritshonour]

Aang gets a lot of hate for not giving up on Katara in The Guru. While I don't like the fact that they never had a plotline dedicated to the concept of love and attachment not being the same thing, I love Aang as a male protagonist for that reason.

The hero sacrificing his family, friends, lovers, children is a trope as old as time. You find it in Indian mythology, Chinese mythology, Greek mythology. It's what leads to the fridged woman trope, the noir detective’s dead wife, Batman's ‘good soldier’ in modern day pop culture.

You'd also notice how it's a singularly male hero trope. The female hero, rare as she is, never even gets put into a position where she has to choose between her loved ones’ safety and the greater good. Almost as if subconsciously the writers can't fathom a woman choosing to sacrifice her family, no, when it's a woman her most important duty suddenly is about others.

Aang, in his quest to be a hero, didn't let go of the girl he loved. And when he did he did it for her safety and was narratively punished because of it. And if it means the end of world, well, what's it to a woman's love?

Except we also see how Aang takes his responsibility seriously too!—or he'd just have stood his ground on not killing Ozai and not have done any energy bending. I don't care it was a deux ex machina. I'm just glad to have a hero who didn't think his morals were more important than actual breathing people (cough, Batman, cough).

Why is it that a villain is considered a good lover because he won't sacrifice you for the world, but the moment the hero does it, it's a bad thing?

If you're going to say “it's because a he's a hero,” well then, being a hero then equals being a man who only sees the world through his man eyes. Where the narrative makes everyone else's pain his man pain while stripping the same characters of their right to have their pain acknowledged.

It seems to me that the fandom is divided between "Jack is wrong he has no right to be angry at Joke" and "Joke fucked up big time it's understandable that Jack is done with him", like we're all trying to find which one of them to blame for what's happening, and like. no. That's not it. stop doing that

Is Jack's anger understandable? Especially given that he doesn't actually know what happened and what was Joke's role in all of this? Yes, absolutely! The poor boy has had a pretty shit life all in all, and now that he thought things were finally going his way he found out that someone he considered a friend was actually working against him the whole time; someone he's known for a long time just took her life bc of it; everyone he knows is in danger; the little kid who's like a daughter to him is about to die. And the one person he has left in all this (except for Grandma obviously), the one person he loves and trusts and should be his pillar in this situation - that person just throws more on him with that "it's me it's my fault, I betrayed you". What is he supposed to do when he's so distressed? We still don't exactly know how he will react, so we cannot even judge yet - but anyway, as things stand right now, he has every right to be upset.

Still, would it be fair of him to push Joke away without question? Absolutely not! Not after everything they've been through, not now that he knows Joke! Yet he still has the right to be upset!!

At the same time though, is what's happening really Joke's fault? I don't think so. Did he fuck up by not telling Jack? Well, yes! But I think his worst mistake was telling him right then and there like that. That was where he really went wrong, and he did that bc he himself believes it, he himself believes everything is his fault and Jack should hate him for that. But what's happening right now to the people of Suphanimit, what happened to Toi Ting, isn't entirely his fault; both because he couldn't have imagined that things would turn out this way and also bc everything he did was to help Jack (and yes I know you can fuck up even while trying to help, but I still think it's important to remember), but especially bc this would have happened anyway! Let's not forget that what Jack was doing before (getting closer to Rose to marry her) was also Boss' plan to get the ring, so really Jack was doing the same thing as Joke.

Boss could have done that anyway, it's not Joke's fault. Even without the ring Boss wouldn't have simply let them open the learning center, he probably would have sent Carbon after them anyway, bc no matter what he can't afford those kids to have hope for their lives and futures. Yes, Joke giving him the ring made him more powerful and fearless, but Joke had no way of knowing that.

So yeah, Jack is right in being upset, and at the same time Joke hasn't royally fucked up beyond hope and doesn't deserve to be pushed away.

It's a complicated situation that was made extremely more complicated by the lack of communication, but trying to point the finger and decide whose fault it is makes no sense

alright hold on hold on hold on we're doing 3am gender thinking again

so the initial idea of my views on gender that occurred to me at 5am last time in what was probably a manic episode is fuck gender I can't fit the boxes expected of me so I'll dismantle the whole system and do my own thing

so problem is I can't do that, I can't dismantle the whole system and go my own way because I am entirely dependent on the sex and gender systems we have in place and how other people view sex and gender

additionally the idea that gender itself is the outdated stereotypical system is flawed, gender is the way a person feels and we've made categories and boxes to describe incredibly complex feelings

the problem is the more specific a gender gets, the smaller that box gets, the more people are excluded from that box so the solution is another box that fits better or make their own like with neogenders

the solution is a line of gender boxes like hermit crabs...

the fun part about thinking of gender and stuff is that I personally believe that every single person on earth experiences gender and life differently from every other person, even if only slightly

so theoretically if every person on earth were to describe their gender outlook and gender experiences and form a gender identity from that, then there could theoretically be 8 billion god damn genders

the solution is more genders

the solution is running Doom (1993) on my fucking gender

[clownprince]

alright i was already intrigued by the premise of knight terrors: the joker but i'm SO fucking hyped now you're telling me rosenberg is elaborating on the divorce arc??? also dark workplace comedy is exactly where i hoped they'd go with this

[an-adhd-infested-nerd]

I’ve said it before but whoever’s running @the-muppet-joker is a fucking comedic genius. I fucking lose it at every post of theirs I see

[anxiously-sidequesting]

Sorry to be posting twice in one day but now I wanna talk about Sybil's last line of dialogue at the end of Wallaru. Bro says "The Spiral will always need its Scion." In terms of new villains always arising, new worlds to explore, etc.

Now of course in the real world this means something totally different than in narrative; for us it means yay Wizard101 will continue and it's not ending and shit and thats good!!! But in universe, I believe that fact would have brought different feelings. Like sadness. Or anger. Or maybe just numbness.

Like if you think about it. The implications. The Wizard will never, CAN never rest. It's an ongoing, neverending thing of always being needed. It's You and ONLY You. There will never NOT be evil. If not GF Spider, then the Schism. If not the Schism, then the Old One. If not the Old One, then someone else. Someone or Something will always come up as a Threat that only the Scion (for some reason. Gods exists here) is expected and able to defeat. When Sybil said that I was legit terrified because gotdamn I can't retire???? I will Always be The Legend who Always saves the day???

Like even setting aside the social consequences of this (the whole people suspecting us/fearing us Thing) imagine what that does to your emotional and mental health. Fuck even physical health. Going through all that strenuous trauma and exercise and magical ordeals and shit???? The pressure of knowing it's the universe at stake, not just you or the world? I actually would have died just in arc 2 personally how the fuck are we supposed to carry this. For the REST. OF OUR LIVES. FOR HOWEVER LONG WE LIVE

✨ Anyways here's hoping the Schism Soldier is arc 5's new big baddie haha #enemiestolovers101 😘✌️💕💕💕

As a non sonadow shipper, congrats on becoming canon guys! 🤝 that’s actually really cool, I’m sure you guys are having a field day with it!

[nanabanonana]

me watching godzilla minus one: oh no … she's gonna die. :(

- later on -

them: wait, how did you figure that out???

me: he took her picture. :(

them: *looking at me like i'm crazy*

me: remember how he was given the photos of those mechanics' families?

them: yeah?

me: that's why.

them looking even more confused than when we started: ???????

people think i just WATCH movies like i'm normal and not actually taking everything apart in my brain like a kid wanting to figure out how cars work and recognizing pieces i've seen in other cars. i don't know how the fcking thing works, but i know where the pieces go.

people also think i know what i'm doing when i write, but it's literally just me putting the pieces where they belong. idk how they work or the purpose they serve but i know that's where it goes.

now imagine me if i actually knew what the fck i was doing lmao

srsly tho i wouldn't be able to explain half the things i understand. idk why people think i'm smart. i'm just putting puzzles together.

[loud-whistling-yes]

nobody touch me i just read kj encore and SO NO ONE'S GONNA FUCKING TALK ABOUT HACHI COMPETING WITH JOKER TO BECOME A THIEF???????

[tellsjokes-movedbacktomulti]

bro... "I was far too scared to hit him, but I would hit him in a heartbeat now" ....... thinking danny and his mom's bf :(

[daphnalia]

tori was fucking awesome but giving hermie/anthony/the literal joker a 4 is factually incorrect

[h3llofaday]

There is something so mortifying knowing that with the new joker movie redoing the whole Harley Quinn “Mad Love” ark that there will probably be hundreds of incels romanticizing her abuse and her heartbreaking devotion to a man who abuses her AGAIN right when the internet finally started to get that romanticizing joker/harley is bad

[penechekkk]

i especially like (in fact, absolutely not😀) how there are (STILL. IN 2024.) people on twt and tiktok posting "omg imagine what iwaizumi felt when he found out about oikawa moving to argentina😔😔 he made him dirty😔😔" forget that iwaizumi himself moved to usa for studying. i bet he was absolutely fine with that and his biggest problem during uni were taxes and stuff but definitely not oikawa not playing for japan

[numbuh424]

I don't know if anyone else will appreciate this but if there are any other Death Note fans out there who also enjoy the TV show Taskmaster I am making a DN on Taskmaster AU so self-indulgent and I am pleading that you make yourselves known to me cause I can't be alone in this
