Why do you steal art?
I am going to lose followers for this but I need to for my own mental health. I am so tired of getting harassed by Tumblr punks (because Tumblr is the only place this even happens). There is this narrative that I went to an artist's tumblr page, saved their art, reposted it on my page making sure not to credit the artist I knew, claimed I did the art myself, and then asked people to commission me for more art. When in actuality I came across an uncredited meme on Facebook and thought, "Hey I like the message and I think my followers will like it too. I want to show them." Then I was informed who the artist was so I reblogged it and credited the artist. I said go give them money. Anyone who wants to know who the artist is can easily find it in the notes as the artist has been tagged several times in several different ways. Several people have told me to delete the post yet you know who has not asked me to do so? The artist, @eliasericson. If they are ask me to take it down in any way I will do so with no questions asked. Not a problem. Who I am not going to listen to are random people who think they know what the artist wants and is best for them. The post has over 7,000 notes, that is a lot of people that enjoyed seeing it. But no fuck all those people because opinionated randos think that much exposure for the artist, who again did get credited several times, is going to hurt the artist somehow. No consideration that maybe the artist just wants their message to be heard and affect people while not really caring if they are credited or not for this particular picture. Regardless though I have supported many artist through out the years and have commissioned art from quite a few different artists. But you know what, if I saw an artist's fans were harassing people about stealing art like this I would be far less likely to want to commission them because if there fans are assholes then what does that say about the actual artist? So who is really hurting the artist here?
So in summary, I will do my best to make sure any art, which only seems to be visual art as nobody seems to care about literary art anyways, is properly credited. But no promises that something doesn't accidentally fall through the cracks here and there. I do greatly appreciate when someone POLITELY points who the artist is and I can let people know. But any further rude mean asks or notes will just be ignored. I have so many more important asks that deserve my attention and effort way more than this childish nonsense.

What I love about Jason Todd is that he's angry about his trauma. Life fucked him over and he's rightfully pissed off. We already have "healed from their anger" Dick Grayson and "ignores their emotions" Bruce Wayne. Thank you DC for giving us "hurt and upset and lashing out" Jason Todd.

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

While we're on the topic of De-aging AU's I wanna talk about Jason and Damian if Jason was 14 again real quick.
Do you guys think that Damian looks at this version of Jason, so different from the version he knows, nothing like the person he was told Jason was, and feels uncomfortably seen?
Damian was always told that Jason died because he was reckless, because he disobeyed orders, he was fired as Robin and he got himself killed. A cautionary tale, not a threat to his position. He dismisses Jason because Bruce does, because Dick does, because sometimes even Babs and Alfred do.
That's not the kid that he's looking at now. This Jason is happy, and smart, and full of love that has not yet soured into grief. He hangs on Bruce's every word, trains until his hands bleed and his body gives out to perfect the moves Bruce teaches him. He looks at Bruce with stars in his eyes and he calls him dad.
And Damian can't help but think, that this is the perfect Robin. The perfect son. And if Jason - sweet, loving, strong, Jason - can be fired, can die and have his room locked away and his pictures torn down, can have his last memory as Robin be as A Good Soldier, how could the rest of them ever compete? What could Damian do to stand a chance?
Jason will never grow out of the shadow of Robin, like the rest of them did. As long as Bruce, and Dick, and Babs, and Alfred look at him and see a dead kid who came back wrong, he will never get to be anything else. He will not get to be looked at through who he is now without the shadow of a dead boy looming over him.
And the worst part? Jason is exactly the same person he was back then. Bitter, sure, angry, justifiably, but he is still the boy with too much love in his heart and righteous fury festering in his gut. He is exactly the same boy who threw himself in front of an explosion to save his mother.
(The lines between the mother that betrayed him and the father that disgraced him are so very blurred. Fire or blade or crowbars or fists it does not matter. It ends the same way it always does because Jason Todd always dies, in every universe, in every timeline, Jason dies and crawls out only to be killed again and again and again.)
