I find the fact that the confrontation at the end of UTRH is often summarized as Jason asking Bruce to kill the Joker for him fascinating.

Because that's not what happened.

Jason holds a gun up to Joker's head, gives Bruce another, and tells him that if Bruce doesn't do something (shoot Jason), he will kill Joker.

Jason doesn't give the gun to Bruce so that he would shoot Joker. He isn't expecting Bruce to pull the trigger on the clown. He's asking Bruce to do nothing. To be inactive. Because that will still be a choice, and despite having done nothing, everybody clearly agrees that Bruce would still, at least in part, be responsible for Joker's death.

...And to me, this moment is a kind of- microcosm, of the rest of Jason's point. Because after being captured and carted off to Arkham, the villain will escape again, and will kill more people. The only way to truly prevent that from happening would be to kill them; Bruce refuses to do so, and I respect his right to choose such a thing for himself, but it is still a choice, and if we agree that Bruce's inaction during the confrontation would leave him at least partly responsible for the Joker's death, then we must also agree that his inaction in permanently preventing the Rogues from killing more people means he is also, partly, responsible for all of those deaths.

#my dc posting #batman #dc #bruce wayne #jason todd #joker #uhh is this like analysis or meta #anyway. to me this is the message that scene sends #if we say bruce doing nothing would mean he assisted in the murder of joker then bruce doing nothing about the villains means he is also #responsible for those deaths #ANYWAY yes b4 you come at me;;#bruce's belief in rehabilitation and that everyone can get better is central to his character #and i love it and no i dont actually think he should kill the rogues or whatever #but the question there is. Are you fine with the future victims your decisions will cause?#Are their lives worth the slim chance any of these people will get better?#batman says yes theyre worth it. red hood says no theyre not.#thats the fundamental moral difference there #its why jason challenges the batman status quo #which is why he cant be harnessed well after his initial return bc comics can never truly escape that status quo #anyway i sure am having some thoughts for someone not that smart so if you disagree please tell me!!! just be civil or ill just block you <#...anyway this is another thing BTAS succeeds in bc i always feel like yes these villains do deserve yet another chance #despite what theyve done. bruce's belief in them doesnt feel stupid and naive #its abt what you yourself can live with. bruce can live w the deaths of the ppl the criminals he doesnt get rid of kill #and jason can live with killing those criminals and preventing further victims

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

thinkin bout magneto's lil list of aliases from that One Shot of his government file or w/e in 97 and how it lists the three main men who've played him (David Hemblen, Ian McKellen, Michael Fassbender) and kinda cackling at the idea 1.) if they included All his names 2.) having 'michael' on that list twice

#snap chats #'real name magnus' to YOU. maybe to me too idk magnus IS a cute name but not the topic #some people bemoan references to the movies in the comics/cartoons I HOWEVER think theyre always cute when it comes to the xmen...#like in legion of x- i forget who but someone was like 'magneto can do a GREAT gandalf impression just get him drunk first'#like oh im sure im sure he can... [insert rivals tank joke here]#kinda wish they called back to his other VAs or at least earl boen who played him in Pryde of the X-Men but ill live #i just like the shout outs in general..... thats so cute idc i love it when comics/shows do that #also love how david hemblen's name is the only one not fully censored vJELKJVAELKJ #rip king you'll always be iconic for your performance in 92. AND in road to avonlea <- he was in one (1) episode #anyway no please can you imagine how goofy that list would be. and how long #like 'you got two michaels on here you wanna explain' you gotta ask his ex about that one. michael a good name idk what to tell you #'ok so david hemblen ian [redacted] michael [redacted] michael. michael xavier......' loud ass eyebrow raise #ik in the tas verse mags doesnt get the opportunity to 'become' michael xavier but let me have this joke ok. just this one #didnt know charles could see into the future ... it really is so funny that a man named michael would eventually play mags tho #thats so funny .. serendipity or whatever #wait that just reminds me of when he borrows charles' last name for that 2012(? or was it 2011) magneto one shot #he couldnt have been going by michael xavier in that it was well before that time.. was he just going by 'magnus xavier'....#or just Mr. Xavier .. or charles xavier ... funny as hell i love magneto's name shenanigans #james arnold taylor deserves a shoutout. maybe not in tas but just in general WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE PLAYED TIDUS #INFAMOUS LAUGHTER TIDUS THAT ONE ????? range. he also played johnny test but we dont gotta talk about it #that fact alone has made he decide mags has an ugly laugh. like i know the context of the tidus laugh and its sad but ssh #ignore me im just. i love voice actor stuff its always so funny going down the rabbit hole #seriously tho shoutout to mr taylor he's played mags in virtually all his video game appearances. AND lego charles #thats enough outta me ok bye im gonna go

#oh my godddddd this looks incredible #if youre a fan of kate and have the means to go to new york go see her #like from these clips alone it just shows off her absolute prowess as an actor #the stage really is her home man like she looks so natural there #im so sad i cant just whip up a plane ticket to ny but ill support her in spirit #kate mulgrew #i legit screeched upon watching this #like with any luck they'll do a cheeky full release of a filmed version after the show is over (unlikely but a girl can dream)#no but you guys dont understand that moment of her drawing is so interesting because she has said she misses her mother and #she has never really described herself as and artist but she absolutely is doing something there like her body language is dead on #i dont think she has the patience to be an actual artist it does require a bit of solitude and being in one place for countless hours #kate always strikes me as someone who doesnt settle down but she understands artmaking because of her mum/ family that is so epic to me omg #maybe in another life for her...she could have

Going back to work after this but

#i mean ill be doing laios and marcille genfic content regardless and you cant stop me but #this isnt something that necessarily has to happen in little creature so im just testing the waters #my sick little brain. and its love for putting these two in all the trappings of a het relationship #while its still completely platonic #i just. she is so pathetic and little and clingy when shes horribly beartbroken #and he is her big stupidest puppy in the world #she would preemptively like. yell at him and hit him with books and pillows and swear that if he makes it weird she'll kill him #while he literally hasnt said a word about it #and then she'd curl up like a shrimp so compact he could hold all of her in just his arms #and it would literally cause so much drama if anyone else saw but he doesnt care bc she needs it #and bc he and falin are the only ones she feels THAT safe with #he is all she has when she needs to cry *about* falin #polls #a little creature #sorry. i just.#she is the closest thing to a girlfriend he has and he is the closest thing to a boyfriend she has and its all platonic and i #[feral noises]#“boyfriend” but its your platonically life bonded himbo with the same cup size as you who could lift you with one arm #or EASILY cover your entire body with his just by crouching over you a little #and also he will be the happiest man alive at your wedding to his sister

they just met why is kara always going on about how lena needs to give her more and more? maybe that should be the end, they had a nice time , we got nice smut and they parted ways. i get why kara doesn't see them working but idg what lena is seeing in kara long term beyond her being 'normal' i guess that's enough with her life, even when kara was told that those pictures were from before they even met she still judged her and made all about how lena hurt her feelings, lena will have tabloids saying shit about her always and kara is right that they won't work long term, they don't work even now when they should be in the honeymoon period

Yall I'm writing this on my phone, my thumbs dont have that kind of stamina.

Also, as for what Lena sees in Kara... tbh I'm relying pre-exisiting chemistry that y'all know is there, even if I'm not the best at showing it here. I might embellish when I move it to ao3, but I might not.

But also part of things is that Kara doesn't really have room to shine, because Lena sucks all the air from the room. And with based looooooosely on the anne hathaway movie that sees them reuniting in like five years, I had to have them split in a relatively timely manner.

And also tbh, in case the "writing this in my phone notes" didn't convey this strongly enough-- I am pantsing this thing to the maxxxxxx. Not a single outline or bullet point in sight. Total stream of consciousness. As a rule, one can expect my tumblr stuff to be considered a stream of consciousness more than anything else. Do NOT expect it to be polished or free of plot holes.

Also also... it's a free story with our fave peeps? Didn't think it needed to be much deeper on this here tumblr dot com...

#lol sorry #this is ramble central #like.... you dont have to like it....#but i dont have to hear that you dont?#unless i majorly fuck up in terms of representation or a microaggression or whatever #i want to know about that #but if its just a general 'this isnt good enough for my tastes' thing #you cannot imagine how demoralizing this would have been if I had been in less a good head space #and then a bunch of people who *do* like it would miss out on the ending/more content #im sure you didnt mean this in a mean way #but if i were more depressed than i currently am #i wouldnt be able to see the lack of ill intent #i would just see “your story sucks and doesnt work what are you doing”#so maybe give it a second thought before hitting send yeah?

[vibrating at speeds unknown to man] hey guys. i just finished alkaid's level 17 affinity event. i'm so normal right now. like so normal. extremely normal. no girl has been more normal than i am right now.

thinking about how alkaid does extreme sports because he yearns to be free and see everything, and how he would specifically push himself to do dangerous things just to feel untethered for even a moment. which is most likely how he wound up passed out on that snowy mountain (which mc STILL thinks about to this day)

and mc worrying and almost asking him to stop doing dangerous sports, but instead realizing to not only trust alkaid, but to try and see things through his pov by trying an extreme sport herself. and she winds up LOVING it

and how it was a give and take of mc expanding her views on things, but also alkaid realizing to not just recklessly throw himself into shit to feel something. its the mutual growth. [i start shaking you] are you listening to me. AND. And.

and how this all ties into the fairytale event?? where the modern world alkaid appears in the fairtytale world via his dreams and mc gets to finally give him his wish: the chance to fly freely and oh my god that part makes sense now

#lovebrush chronicles #alkaid mcgrath #addy rambles #lbc spoilers #what do you MEAN thats all the affinity convos ill get for now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAA #also dont htink i didnt notice mc saying alkaid just. doesnt talk about himself in detail like ever. What Was Your Past Like. Alkaid.#Hm. Tell.#i need to know more about modern alkaid or else im going to explode

currently at That Point which occurs once every few months where one briefly begins pacing around the house teary eyed contemplating selling their own organs or becoming an online scammer or getting on anxiety meds so you can bear the risk taking required to be a hitman or so on and so forth.... why must everything so Expensive... Surely all would be healed in life if only I had one big plate of lasagna and a simple loan of $40,000 ... auoughhh....

#And then you just eventually shrug and go 'welp. nothing i can do i guess' and sad cartoon music plays as you shuffle back to your room #It's just hard with my specific physical and mental issues since it's like.. I couldn't really handle most jobs. I can't handle school. I'm #100% aromantic and asexual so I'll never get married so I can't get money that way. I have too much issues with social cues #+ too nervous temperament + too low energy to put effort into lying and having a fake relationship just for money. so on and so forth etc.#Really I should have just been born into a middle class family. Which I guess everyone says. but ESPECIALLY considering my #chronic conditions kind of hampering my ability to function 'normally' or be Independent in a regular way. I'm always going to be #in some way sort of beholden to the whims of people around me who I must depend on. so... well of course they might as well have been rich #lol like that would have been better for me of course.#AAANyway... Just thinking about another stupid fucking climate change summer... months keep going by so fast.. soon it will be so again #And it's like such SMALL things would make drastic improvements for me. Literally if I just had a place with central AC #then like 75% of my issues with summer would vanish instantly. literally. But instead it's like.. having a cheap hot apartment + only #half functional dinky window ac + my illnesses that make me heat sensitive + living in a part of the country that keeps getting hotter +#inability to leave the house much meaning I can't just go spend time in a cooler place etc. all factors which combine together to make #it just utterly miserable for MONTHS and mentally draining. And literally ALL I would need to fix that is just...#have a place with central AC that works.. (or move to a colder country/area but that also takes money. Or just not have illnesses #that make me heat sensitive. but that I can't control). etc. etc. I guess it's just the nature of the constant background frustration of #being part of The Masses under our current manifestation of unmitigated capitalism. Such minor details would make such huge #quality of life improvements and yet will remain ever out of reach. ONE little thing could change your whole life but you can't even have #that. so many 'If only' scenarios. etc. And of course obviously I am incredibly thankful just to have anywhere to live at all. food to eat #. any sort of stability whatsoever no matter how fragile it feels/is. But that still doesn't make it not frustrating occasionally to look #around and see how relatively little would have to change in order for you to be a decent percentage more comfortable and yet #how still far away even those ''small'' seeming goals are. etc. etc.#Seriously think I've been traumatized by the summer or something somehow lol like thinking about it being warm weather eventually #makes me nauseous with panic. It's just SOOO much labor. micromanaging windows and fans and blocking every ounce of light #and not being able to cook (cant even afford a single degree of temp increase due to the stove) for months and barely being able #to sleep for months and the claustrophobia of days on end crawling out of your skin because it doesnt even get cool enough at #night to offer relief so you're just always feeling trapped.. hgrhh...#It starts getting hot here sometimes in May but mostly June then lasts through October now.. thats like half the year almost.. ARghhH #anyway... If any extremely rich person reading this would like to buy me an air conditioned house in exchange for multiple years worth #of art (I will paint murals on all of your grand dining halls and make all the custom sculptures you could ever want etc) then.. hewwo :'3c

As another Magneto player honestly if I'm up against a Wolverine and I think he's gonna get me I try and hold my ult to solo ult him when he's trying to jump me. Might not kill him but it gives me a headstart.

solo ulting a wolverine is crazy but honestly depending on the situation fair enough 😭

#snap chats #like i cant ever WHOLLY admonish a solo ult because It Depends On The Situation. also its funny sometimes #as of this moment im trying to figure out what best to do against a wolverine as mags #i have to open up the game and mess around in the practice area but like... idk pick a god and pray #just hope he doesnt isolate you idfk 👀👄👀#ok no let me be fr let me actually try to think. im pretty sure mags' left click does....#ok i cant im opening the game really quick brb #ok im back vkAELJAKLE #logan rn has 300 hp and can be taken out in four direct hits. fuck me i forgot mags' right click HANG ON #ok im back. whyd i do all that my conclusion was youre definitely fucked if wolverine has his revive JVELAKGJAEKL #ill at least say for those who dont know mags' left click does 90 per hit and 30 on splash damage #and his right click escalates from 50 -> 80 -> 110 . im p sure. either that or 45 -> 75 -> 105 #i dont have a friend to help me see the exact numbers i just have to look at the health bar indents jvlejakl #also your bubble lasts for three seconds BUT can pop if damaged too much. again i dont know that damage threshold due to Lack Of Friends #his barrier is infinite tho and takes 10 seconds to fully recharge after using + you can track it with the lil bar on the right #his barrier at max health holds for three seconds which doesnt sound like a lot but yes it is you WILL feel the difference #anyway even solo ulting could be risky cause if he didnt use his lunge already and /or still has revive #1.) he could grab you out of ult 2.) he comes back from dying and gets you anyway #not totally purposeless like Again you did get rid of his revive so .. again it depends ..#having wanda could probably help mags a lot their chaos blade does the same as mags' fully-charged rings #can definitely cut down logan a lot faster so i mean ... better hope you have a wanda on your team ig lol ..#we'll get to that when we get to it it might not even be that bad ...... eearjaLKJa

struggling again with extreme artblock and general demotivation (as in nothing seems fun or appealing and you sit around staring at nothing doing nothing bc apparently no matter what i do whether drawing or not drawing i end up like this now)

i started to watch skitties totk video (again) and wrote a big post about how much i hate how the gorons are treated there but saved it as a draft like i have been doing with several rants now in order to not spam people with it over and over

but it does end up feeling like talking to a wall and just kinda .. increasing this looming feeling of extreme loneliness i have been fighting with for .... since i left school really..

#ganondoodles talks #personal #i know i know this is my own doing #i never go out and have enormous trouble keeping in contact with people or answering messages #i never ever mean it mean #it feels like my battery is never above 10% charged no matter what i do #and answering messages often takes too much #which just makes this whole problem worse #its like a spiral making everything worse and idk how to fight it #maybe meds would help me #but if i have trouble even answering an ask i cant try to start the process of getting diagnosed with whatever hundreds of things-#-that are wrong with me #also being afraid of being put under surveillance or something for it doesnt help either #also fearing wrong meds doing wrong things bc i am weird #also afraid of not taking any meds bc that can reduce your lifespan if you are weird like me or something #which ........................... adds dread and guilt and doesnt help either #sometimes i wonder how i am evn still alive #the only reasons why are probably -luck- and being too much of a coward to end it all back when i was at the worst point of my life #bc i am not strong or resilient and getting through the worst .. so far .. hasnt made me stronger- just weaker and more pathetic #idk why im rambling all this in the tags- it must be exhausting to read .. i know it is #ill just go back to staring at a wall

I just realized that Loop's dialogue icons have rock, paper, scissors hand signs, with rock and scissors modified in a way that resembles the sign itself instead.

Rock

Paper

Scissors

#aria rants #was looking through the wiki gallery when i realized it. ohhh loop you lil rascal hiding something deeply connected to the #Universe in your dialogue sprites (resisting all the urges in me to think about the implications of that in regards to Things)#like did loop subconsciously just started doing those hand signs after the whole Stuff that happened or is loop purposely #doing that as a means to show that they feel more closely connected to the Universe than the world now that theyre #Like That. or is loop doing that as just to feel closer to Craft itself as someone who doesnt even have a craft type anymore?#isat #isat spoilers #is this spoilers??????? i am talking about the Universe in the tags so maaaaaaayyybee???? ill tag it just in case

I'm so sorry y'all, maybe I missed something, some type of scene, something somewhere but I have no fucking clue how you can get lucyXcooper out of this show.

I truly don't gaf about rarepairs or enemies to lovers or shipping just cause you like how they look together or just cause it's fucked up but like genuinely saying they had good romance chemistry (better then Lucy and max even???) Is genuinely mind boggling to me.

Ship what you want, just don't lie to me?
