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."

I was gonna make a post at some point questioning if Kuroiro had a crush on Komori, with proof, since his wiki page never confirmed it in his Trivia

But nah, it's canon

(And now I also know his Relationships page says he seems to have a small crush on Komori- but this page is not "seems". This is definitive)

Imo Jason is “irredeemable” by default because I don’t see what he needs redemption from.

If I started calling Fire & Blood a “bad fanfic” or the “weaker version of the story” just for fun how long do you guys think it would take before I started getting death threats?

I always found it slightly awkward how media makes siblings or people who see each other as siblings call each other brother/sister all the time as in real life you almost never see people do that with their own siblings (maybe someone out there like that)

In the case of Arkham Shadows I see why they did though because Bruce quite literally tells Harvey he loves him and Harvey says it back. Can't have the audience think Batman is in love with the DA.

They had Bruce pay for his college, pay for his campaign, pay for his surgery, pay for his therapy and had Harvey have him as his best man at his wedding. Wow..... Sugar baby Harvey is real.....

The calling sibling title thing is less common in English than in some other languages for sure- me and a couple of my siblings do it on occasion, but it's for a bit then. More common is when I call one of my close family friends "my sister" or "my nephew" when talking about them to someone else because it's faster and easier to say that than to say "my friend who I've known since she was born and lived with for a few years and consider a little sister" or "child of a close family friend who considers me an aunt" to someone who doesn't know them. Which is a lot of words to say that if they wanted to fully sell me on the brothers thing they should have either had a different bit or should have referred to the other as "my brother" when talking to an unrelated character instead.

But "oh no we have to make Bruce not look gay" has been a problem DC has struggled with more than once for many decades and it basically never works so I guess at least they didn't try to solve it this time by having Bruce pick a lady love over Harvey or cutting the holding hands thing

Because I saw that scrapbook! I know Harvey has been Bruce's sugar baby since he was ten years old! But we can't have Bruce take Harvey's hand and call him the love of his life because ok technically that's Gotham but also because gay. And we can't have Bruce take Harvey's hand and call him his best friend because they're not ten anymore and somehow that seems gay also. So brothers it is, I guess. Even if I think my brothers would bite my finger if I ever tried to pay for everything for them on that scale, guess it's different at billionaire levels

if you must use a protein mask/rice water for your hair i recommend using it in combination with a deep conditioner ESPECIALLY if your hair is prone 2 dryness or damaged from heat or coloring

Figuring out things about your own ocs is fun bc one day you can be just playing casually with new builds and then the next day you've unlocked forbidden knowledge about their favorite food sins and their taste in men

blackflimmakers/afrophunk's weird ass hell obsession with making every single thing involving generic Western Fantasy into being something derived from Tolkien to the point of calling everything DnD and things inspired by/loosely based on D&D 'Tolkien games'/adaptations of Tolkien's work is still fascinating to me.

Like, I should have realized how full of shit blackflimmakers/afrophunk was b4 they got to the 'b/c minotaurs are used this way in one work, that means that Laios Touden wanting to milk a minotaur is a racist Jungle Fever joke'. Given how the cunt really just jumped to address a question they weren't asked in the first place and ignored every parameter of the question asked and decided me not just taking their word for it was a personal offense that had to be punished with harassment. And that earlier thing where they legit jumped onto hating mspec lesbians train after seeing a post with some obvious radfem shit and only changed their mind after me pointing out directly that that poster was fucking bullshit and pulled out sources debunking shit.

Like, the signs were there and it was a bit foolish of me to not just block back when the first red flags popped up the other year with the bi lesbian hate shit instead of deciding to stick around. It's on me for giving a fuck.

But that tolkien bullshit is on them for being a fucking weirdo who refuses to engage with individual works and having such a fragile ego that getting asked follow-up questions or getting asked for proof or relevance to the discussion that they butted into is an office worth turning into a harassing piece of shit and pulling straight up gaslighting tactics for.

(And I know it's not just me cause I saw them do the same shit to one of the mods (socalgal) of the Black Creatives discord I used to be on for the same shit.)
