#YOU'VE GOT SO MUCH THERE

[aingeal98]

Ultimately the resolution of Jason and Cass fights comes down to the fact that while he has his own ideals that don't mesh with the bats, Jason can be flexible. DC skipped the whole reconciliation with the family but while he's willing to kill it's generally a means to an end to him, not the whole entire point unless you're talking about Joker. Meanwhile for Cass the question of killing vs not killing is dead serious to her which means any time they're working together and things start going off track it's like:

Jason: Look if we kill this guy we send a message to his boss which makes it easier for us to negotiate with him from a position of power and I just think that-

Cass, snatching one of his guns and pointing it at her own head: Go on, pull the trigger. Kill him. Kill me. Go tell Batman that you let his daughter die to make a negotiation easier. He already let you die so no problem right? You think we should die? You think our life only worthwhile as part of a plan, just because we're killers? Are we doomed? Are we rotten to the core with no hope of redemption? Go on then, kill us and kill part of your soul alongside it. You clearly don't care for it so why are you even trying? Kill yourself along with us, come on Jason let's all just die right?

Jason, slowly backing away: I think you may be projecting a tiny bit so just. Calm down before I call the suicide hotline please.

Cass, slowly lowering the gun and knocking the random henchman unconscious: Yeah that's what I thought, fucking pussy.

Jason: Mm yeah you know what I hate you actually. Fuck this mission I'll just shoot you right now if you're going to be this annoying about it.

Jason, explaining things later to Dick: So I just kept shooting at her until I ran out of bullets and we both calmed down enough to call a truce. We tracked the guy down and didn't kill anyone but I did blow up the batplane just as a last minute screw you. Is she always this uh... intense?

Dick: Yeah, one time I broke up with Barbara and she threw me out a window. She's just like that.

“The Summer Day” by Mary Oliver.

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY ACE!!

Support me on ko-fi! ♥

[hackedhearts]

I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Oh take me back to the night we met

[tangents-within-tangents]

Echo, baby, this is why we love you

Probably my favorite line in the finale, it's so simple but so powerful coming from him. Honestly kinda amazing that we got such a nice full-circle wrap up to his cross-series arc (especially after he was sidelined all season)

I was sad about not seeing as much of him when he left the Batch in season 2 of course, but I could never be mad because it was a choice that just made so much sense for his character. Seeing him fighting alongside Rex, rescuing Howzer, freeing all the clones in Tantiss, it’s just so clearly where he belongs. He’s been through so much and he’ll never stop fighting for his brothers

[unpretty]

my birthday weekend was my only time getting a vacation rental (being walking distance to the venue was of non-negotiable importance to me) and i gotta say. it sucked. it felt like housesitting for a friend's parents i'd never met. once all the fees were added it wasn't even cheap. if you choose that over a hotel with a free breakfast buffet you're bananas.

[somegrumpynerd]

A little animation I made of Dream and Nightmare for fun, it's pretty short and simple but not bad for my second go at animation I think ^^

The music is from here, I highly recommend listening to the full thing cause it's so beautiful!

Quick explanation for the song and a gif version under the cut

So when I was first dipping my toes into utmv stuff like a year ago, I made a slideshow for my sister with a bunch of au Sanses, let her guess what kinda vibe she thought they had and then gave her a list of names/ aus to see if she could figure out who was who (she did surprisingly well and I'm proud of her).

Well, when I first showed her pictures of Dream her immediate reaction was "this guy looks like he's from zelda" and it's just always stuck with me. Somewhere along the way I started headcanoning Dream playing some kind of instrument when they were kids and when I heard the pan flute version of zelda's lullaby everything kind of fell into place.

So here they are, having a little moment of peace finally, brothers together again c:

Raises my eyebrows. Up to nothing. Huh Spamton?

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.

Kamala 2024!

If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.

But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

your art is absolutely amazing

i just went thru all of the poorly drawn mdzs and it was amazing seeing your art develop!

you just made my morning, thabkyou <3

Thank you so much for the kind words, and for cheering me on as I continue to learn!

i saw pokémon in ur fandoms and it activated a neuron in my mind. id love to hear your thoughts on platonic Arven (scarlet and violet)!

Platonic yandere Arven headcanons - 🥪🐾

🥪 - clingy, clingy, clingy, although he does his best to be subtle about it. No matter where you are in Paldea, Arven coincidently is out camping there! Food can very alot place to place, you know, little buddy? He's just trying to learn all he can!

🐾 - Mabostiff catches on to its trainer's infatuation and will start to growl at you when you try to leave camp, pushing you back into Arven's side. It only stops after you relent to stay a little longer or it is returned to its pokeball

🥪 - easily jealous, it doesn't even have to be another person or pokemon. If you're too engrossed in a task to pay much attention to him, Arven gets this sickly feeling in his stomach. (The professor was always too busy for him-) He'll try to talk to you, but if all you do is give him lackluster replies, he shuts up and acts standoffish for a while after.

He can't stay that way for long though, and you'll find him draping himself over you in an unbreakable embrace. Arven doesn't say anything, he just needs you next to him. (You aren't leaving, right? He's more important than whatever you're working on? You love him, yeah?)

🐾 - Sees himself as your older brother. He's had to take care of himself all his life practically, but you can take care of each other now! It's a given that he cooks for you at every opportunity that he can, but he starts to do other things as well. He'll buy you both ice cream if you're visiting a city, insist on studying with you, any time he can show that he cares about you he does.

🥪 - Arven is one of the characters I think worries a lot about the player's safety, especially with everything that's happened. He lost his parent to area zero, he almost lost Mabostiff, and now you've been down there twice? He knows you're crazy strong, but something can still go wrong. What happens when something does? Arven knows you wouldn't stay down, and that bothers him.

🐾 - perhaps.. he eventually starts to slip certain ingredients into your food, something that just makes you sleepy and sluggish. You can't go around being reckless and leaving him if you can barely manage walking around the campus. Sure, you could ride your brute around, but what if it also thinks you aren't fit to go very far?

Calculating probability of survival... It doesn't look good.

ADHD isn't silly or quirky. it can hinder productivity, create a cycle of overcommitting and overextending to keep up with life, can give rise to feelings of guilt for things like resting and overall impacts relationship health (just to name a few). it's hard to manage and it's miserable.

[thekittyokat]

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah
