💔Least favorite ship for the muse?

((Ra's. Yes even when it's specifically stated to be gross or crack or just a way to keep Tim close. I don't know how it got started, I personally don't enjoy it, at most I see it as Ra's recognising the depth of Tim's intelligence and the complexities of his moral compass and wanting that kind of power on his side.

Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that because I play in the Gotham Knights universe, so Ra's is very dead alongside Bruce, so my Tim doesn't go through the events of the Red Robin comics))

" Aren't hospitals supposed to be clean? This place stinks. "

" ya' know ... " the psychiatrist taps her pen against her notes. not quite feeling like she's gained as much of an understanding of his character. as least it had felt that way. truthfully, doctor harleen quinzel had only been his psychiatrist for a week now and she was still learning about all the little skeletons stuffed in closets, " I heard Arkham is hiring for janitors." she crosses her legs. White lab coat sitting at length against her desk chair, " clearly we're a lil' understaffed. "

photos align the walls of her office. pictures of clowns strung up and a cat sitting in a tree with the words, " HANG IN THERE " clearly drawn across the poster. her light green washed walls aren't filthy but her office needed a pick me up. the lights were bright and could be hurtful on eyes only used to dim lights. she chewed on her lip. getting red lipstick stained on her tongue, " lets talk about your childhood, @brokentoys . " she pressed the point of her pink hello kitty pen into the paper , her circular glasses slipping a little down her nose before she catches it and presses it back up onto the bridge.

Thoughts on movie / Raimi's MJ? I see many ppl calling her "toxic" on Reddit. Never remember thinking that, but it's been literal years since I've last watched 'em... and I know you write as her. So I'd love to hear what you think.

+ ( First off, this is a question I'm honestly surprised I've never gotten before ! So thank you for that ! Second , I think Raimi!MJ gets way too much hate online . Especially from people who really don't have all the information about that version of the character. The problem with Raimi!MJ is a few things; the first being the era in which the movies were produced. Female characters in superhero films weren't really at the point they're just getting to now. Look at other films in the same era ; Blade , Daredevil, or Fantastic Four. Raimi!MJ is written very much like the female characters in those films, which is sadly not anywhere near as progressive as the comics had been for a long while. That is not the fault of the character, or even Raimi himself. It's really just the fault of the era.

Second ; Raimi!MJ is not given all that much development on screen, sadly. There's a lot more depth to the character if you read the novelizations ! The first movie novel in particular has deleted scenes that make things a lot more understandable in her actions. We get scenes like her father telling her how much he doesn't like Peter and wants her to stick with Flash so she can be basically a trophy wife to him. There's a series of scenes where Peter confesses his feelings about MJ to Harry, who later parrots them to MJ so he can get her to go out with him. And my favorite being that she has a scene near the end where she confronts her father about how abusive he has been to her all her life.

My point here is that the version of the character we see on screen in all three films really would have benefited from having some of this development shown ? MJ isn't really the focus in the films as a character, other than being a love interest. This is especially highlighted in SM2 and especially SM3, I feel. With SM2, I feel like she gets a lot of shit for leaving John at the alter, but I feel that people who do miss the entire point with her character in these films ! Peter was the love she always wanted, but was the risk ! Her relationships with Flash , Harry, and John were the safe options, but were shallow and not where her heart lay. So it makes sense that when she realizes this, she leaves them and goes to Peter. SM1 showed her doing this at the end, and she was rejected by Peter .

In SM2, we see she's tried to move on when Peter continues to make no effort to be with her. By the time he loses the powers and tries, she's already with John. However, the scene where she replicates the upside down kiss with John, and then later has the scene where she's so happy Peter comes to her play, so that once again, her heart wasn't with the safe option, and she wanted to be with Peter.

SM3 is really a mess of a film, as much as it has moments I enjoy. The arc with MJ leaving Peter and going back to Harry I feel was a step backwards, and really only done for drama. But even there, we can see that she's feeling insecure with herself, and when she turns to Peter for help, he's not really offering that in a way Harry is. This is a central point to the Peter/MJ relationship, I feel, in that they trust each other completely and don't have to hide things. At this point, Peter had gotten so wrapped up in how good things were going for him that he wasn't really able to see where MJ was. This is obviously rectified by the end of the film, and we see that they're pretty much confirmed to be together as of NWH, imo.

In short ? Raimi!MJ is only toxic to people , in my opinion, who haven't really dove into the character arcs she has throughout the films, and I can't blame anyone truly, because it's such a backseat storyline. Peter and Mary Jane in the Raimi films are both deeply hurt people and their actions aren't always the right ones. But that's what makes them so interesting, because they're human.

Does Khare have a comfort show? Does she have any time to watch TV?

While Khare doesn't have a television in her apartment, there is one at Pauli's Diner she catches briefs moments of during quiet periods! It's a nice start to her shift as the hours of midnight to 4am tend to be quieter so she can watch a few minutes between various tasks like cleaning up and restocking supplies. She loved watching TV back home but the shows are different in America so instead of crappy soaps, dramas and series like Dr. W.ho, there's stuff like My C.at From H.ell which she finds entertaining considering the stray ginger tom (Walter) she feeds. One night they started showing Love That Baby! as part of an anniversary special and Khare was hooked. There's only so much news you can watch before it starts getting depressing and she loved the silly nature of the show. She still doesn't know that @babydxhl is in fact the same actor for Baby Doll, thinking of her as a cute kid who must have grown up by now...

"Do you, now? You got a list made up?"

[red-hemlock]

@brokentoys started following you!

Now isn't this quite the odd thing… A little certain someone seems to have meandered his way into her future evil lair. Not much of a 'problem' for the moment, but still-…

How curious, indeed.

"Are you lost, dear?" River calls from the door, brow raised as her fingers tap-tap a languid 'dance' against the plastic cup in her hands, "You know, you shouldn't be wandering around in abandoned places like these, they can be quite dangerous."

Said cup raises, and she's all sweet smiles around the straw as blue Slurpee is sipped with an almost pointed obnoxiousness.

@brokentoys​ liked

“Riddler! Hey! The Riddler!”

Was adding a ‘the’ really necessary? Sometimes even the language chip in her head failed her when it came to speaking properly, or maybe that was just her. Either way, she liked super villains- pop stars she liked more, but she could appreciate real agents of chaos when she saw them, a far cry from the stiffs on Vort.

Naturally, she had to track him down to tell him so! Creepy, maybe; but as he exited his latest heist, the moon hanging low above them, she found herself too excited to care. Interesting humans didn’t exactly come around every day. 

“I’m Hal, your biggest fan! Ha! I followed you to like, 6 heists!”

...tracking human phones remotely was too easy.

ONE (1) bingo

Kira taps her fingernail on the piece of cardstock, almost threateningly. "And he doesn't consider his lineage cursed, nor himself a mad scientist why?" She goes back and squints. "You forgot the human category." She hands it back. "Incomplete."

closed starter @brokentoys

A simple solo patrol was all it was supposed to be. To make sure the area she signed up to cover for the time being was fine, and if not she would call her brother or others in for back up--one thing Emma would never do unless she was bleeding out. The night had been relatively ‘normal’ by Gotham standards, mainly only encountering the henchmen and thugs. Though one in particular gave her a lead in a moment of desperation.

All it took was for one lead, one simple lead to bring her here. It was highly advised for her not to cross paths with Riddler until things cooled down. How was she going to cool down without giving him a piece of her mind? Bruce told her not to go on patrol that night, to focus on her school work, to catch up in a few classes she started to slack in. She stayed behind and heard the urgent call for help while she was stuck at the dinner table. So much guilt, but tonight she was going to feel guilty no more. 

Fighting at the docks was going to be one interesting location for her to check off her Robin bucket list. To grab the man’s attention, she pettily shoved a box that was labeled as his right into the water.

eddie's 6'1"............

[ » send me ↕ + your muse’s height - ACCEPTING ]

Eddie somehow always looked like his height and not like his height at the same time. They sometimes forgot, though it wasn't like he looked short-short, by any means, the lanky lithe creature he was.

But sometimes they forgot just how much taller than them he was until they were standing next to him and having to look up to not be staring at his chin.
