Flashback:

[lizardkingeliot]

The vampire bond. There is no human equivalent. It's a bond that can never fully be severed. A bond like that makes you believe there are only two of you on the planet. Freedom and chastity wrapped in one person.

trying to explain jackanne to anyone is impossible. they’re best friends. they’re husband and wife. they’re friends with benefits. he’s gay and she’s a lesbian. they love and are in love with each other. they’re partners, romantically and in business and in crime. they’re frenemies. she would kill anyone, including herself, to keep him safe. he would give anything, everything he’s ever worked for, in order to make sure she’s happy. they’re two halves of a single heart. they’re strangers getting to know each other. they know each other better than anyone else. they’re happiest when they’re together. they alone will never make each other happy. they would never allow anyone or anything to tear them apart. they’re soulmates, and they’ll find each other in every life.

Giving the King and Queen their due. Happy 20th, Monster Hunter. I've only been here about 6 of those years, but it's been a blast beating the snot out of some excellently-designed critters to some of the best music in gaming.

Buddie Countdown to Season 7:

16 days.

Actually going insane over the implications of Jason asking Dick to be the Robin to his Batman in Battle for the Cowl.

Like I initially took it at the purely surface-level of Jason wanting a partner in the general sense. Which made sense, it's a huge responsibility and a lonely one so an assistant/sidekick/partner seems a no-brainer if you can get one.

But then I really thought about it, because Jason is not asking Dick to be his partner in the general sense; he's not even asking Dick to be his Nightwing. He's asking Dick to be his Robin.

And they both know exactly what Jason means: "Be the light to my darkness. Be the smile to my scowl. Be the hope to my fear. "

He's saying "Be 'Robin'; be the embodiment of Love and Justice and Goodness. Be the exceptional person that you have always been. Be the slightly-less exceptional person that I was when I wore your colors. Be the person that I was in the process of becoming and might have been (or might still be), if only Joker hadn't clipped my wings."

He's saying "I am prepared to become vengeance, become the Night. And I will go further than Bruce ever dared to, because it is what is needed. I will be the necessary evil. But you don't have to be. If Batman is Gotham's curse, Robin has always been its blessing. I will be the brutal punishment to our world, and I am asking you to be its incandescent gift."

He's saying, "Be for me, what we were for Him. Be my anchor, my comfort, my hope. Remind me what it's all for, why it's all worth it. And remind yourself as well."

He's saying "Be 'Robin' again--for both of our sakes."

Don't you think it's funny cause actual canon gay characters in BL manga will say "I love you" but only the shounen bromance can spew out some of the most romantic shit akin to a 19th century poet writing a letter expressing his surpressed love for his lover 😭.....

as someone who's read quite a lot of bl and gl manga, i can't begin to tell you how pale it is in comparison to the "totally not gay" shounen characters who are out there obsessing over each other 24/7, spending nearly every waking moment trying to outdo or impress one another, and have literally been chained together by fate whether they like it or not.

yeah, that's so straight.
