Being someone who read Under The Red Hood and came out with the firm belief that, for Jason, it's not about killing Joker, it's about Jason wanting proof Batman would choose him over the Joker (bc shelia chose the joker). Makes seeing any other media where it's all about just wanting the Joker dead is a teeny bit frustrating. to be honest
Jason could've killed the Joker himself, really, really easily. Jason kidnaps the Joker before the confrontation. I can't open my comic for a reference right now, but it felt like he had the Joker for quite a bit before the confrontation. He had him. He beat him up with a crowbar. He had every single opportunity to kill the Joker himself, but he didn't because that wasn't his goal. Make no mistake, he did plan for the Joker to be dead by the end of it, but do you see what im trying to say here
Edit: If I knew this post was gonna get 1000+ notes I would've tried to word it better or something, this was a rant I made on the way to the grocery store 😭
It's not about making Batman kill either. When Batman says he won't kill, Jason adjusts and goes, 'Let ME kill the Joker or kill me to stop me' instead. The test is all about Batman choosing him. The whole final confrontation is Jason's first death again. The parent, The Joker, and the explosives. It even ends with Jason unable to move as a bomb goes off right next to him again because the parent didn't choose Jason. And instead tried finding an option that'd benefit them and (consequencely) letting the Joker walk, again, lol, lmao <-in agony
#the final confrontation was basically his first death again#and YES he Does want the Joker dead#and it would've been really really nice if Batman was the one who did it#but when batman made it clear he wouldn't kill the joker. Jason easily switched to saying “LET me kill the joker” to accommodate#because he Wanted batman to pass his test#he gave a test to dick too. and technically tim but it wasnt the family test it was a different one so it doesnt rly count#AFTER utrh and the reveal and the batarang you can go hog wild about it. i care less about it then#granted i do believe they make jason more scared of the joker after it at some point#i guess because hes a bit too willing to kill the joker and ive heard jason wasnt meant to live after utrh#my watsonian explain for that is he was so fixated on his plan he cpuld override his fear. or maybe the pit. either work#i prefer the fixation bc i dont like the explanation that the pit was the /only/ reason he could get all plan together and done#BUT THATS UNRELATED!!!#dc stop putting the joker in jason stories im begging you please please please. lock him in a vault for the next 20 years or something#it Cpuld be good and i understand. but also. after so long of people that dont know or go for jasons need for family and parents#that love him and he can trust#the joker starts to feel like?? hm. words. a cop out? oh haha its that guy that killed him woagh hes here#i bet you dont even know that jaybin got beat until unconsciousness by an angry mob#while asking batman to save him only for batman to have to walk away#anwya. where was i going with this#i think i got off topic#jason todd#dc comics#batman#ADDED AN EDIT. SORRY. this post has been haunting me it keeps me awake. what if people misunderstand#they cant read my tags where i ramble more depth. thisbis the only option#EDIT EDIT: hiii#removed the sentence abt jason having the joker for several days bc i misremembered some things#go read its-your-mind 's addition instead also#ok no more i wont edit this post anymore i promise

Tartarus is still a little broken and that's Fun !
#so far playing through all of this i have to say. the no level cap increase makes me feel cheated#with how much questing we're doing and all#iirc they said they wanted to take companion promos seriously but did this whole. Hawkules thing#where you have to get a drop and they eventually needed to increase its rate in this recent update#and if you wanted it without farming you have to pay 10 bucks worth of crowns for it now#you know! to promote a companion! but see you can just BUY a companion in the crownshop using that real money#if you cant tell ive not been a fan of this new promotion method and this is taking it 'seriously'?#granted ive just started tartarus so i kind of want to hold my tongue and see the rest for myself rn#so far these quests are Good and Bad. they definitely went in the right direction but. no level cap kind of hurts.#still feels like we're stuck in one place even though we're moving forward#there's a lot of great concepts and even better dialogue to even out the bad#but at what point do we feel it's worth doing all this effort for. a couple new mid comps and a chance at a main comp promo?#keep in mind all this posting is just my own opinion. i know there's ppl out there that either love or loathe these additions#and i find myself in the middle tbh#i find this story fine and good so far i guess but i don't know if i'm still going to feel this way by the end of it#and yes yes 'be grateful p101 even got updates' while wiz continues to get new worlds and level cap increases. wonderful to be where we are#rambling#vent

How are you feeling about S17? I'm getting reaaal worried that it's going to be terrible. No Glenn in the writers room? A crossover episode?? Rob's gradual transformation into pondslime??? Help
Pondslime 😭Lmfao
I'm feeling more than fine about 17, really truly. I don't think anyone should be worried at all.
I think sometimes my interactions with Glenn come off a little more serious or abrasive than they really happened in real life (because we have to shout due to how loud it is in the bars), and my immediate transcription is just to get people *information*, which really doesn't convey tone.
For example, reporting that Glenn said "you don't want to know" in response to me asking for any teasers (as to plots this season) was met with a lot of "oh so this season is gonna suck" on Twitter, and that could not be further than the truth (sorry to the people I split-react blocked for saying that lol). In hindsight I get the reaction, because written out it's a response that can be easily misinterpreted and reads as potentially concerning, but know that when Glenn said "you don't want to know" he looked like this:
And when I was genuinely just asking for script information (regarding writers of individual scripts after he mentioned they had broken already) and mentioned Nina (Inflates) and Ross (DTAMHD), he gushed about both of them and then said, transcribed word for word, "It's been a good room, I'll say this it's been a great room. It's been an all-star room, it's been...like, breaking the stories this year has been really fun. [Me: Yeah?] Yeah. [That's great, that is great to hear.] It's been really fun."
So the idea of "no Glenn in the writers room" is really much more akin to Season 16 than 13/14. He was there to break stories (meaning he was in the room when they were brainstorming plot ideas and when they settled on which plots would be turned into scripts) but Rob and Charlie are taking the brunt of writing their (RCG's) scripts because of Sirens. This is the same thing that happened with The Gang Goes Bowling. Glenn's name is on the script, but Rob and Charlie wrote the majority of it while Glenn was shooting Blackberry. (I remember originally being convinced it was a mistake Glenn was listed as a writer for Bowling, lmfao). And Glenn is definitely still contributing, will be on revisions for the non-RCG scripts, and will classically change or improv whatever he thinks is best for Dennis when he's on set (see: the Risk E. Rats script).
Also, I know the crossover is concerning to a lot of people just given the nature of it, but as of what we know right now it's only on Abbott, so it's really just as if this season's The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell or The Janitor Always Mops Twice took place on a different show instead of ours...
I promise promise promise Glenn was clearly holding his tongue for good things coming up, and Friday night very much restored my confidence that Season 17 will be good. (But..if you don't think Glenn has good contributions to Sunny or understands the agenda, then sorry this response probably sucks lmfao)
#i did the biggest fist pump the moment glenn's eyes were off us it was good#and i hate to say it but trust glenn knows who i am. he's talking to some gay kid way obsessed with the meta of his show#not a random dudebro whos hoping dennis is revealled as a serial killer this season#my conversations with glenn exist in the context of all that is and which came before...#additional thoughts i think a lot of people misinterpret what the major issue was with glenn not being in the writers room for 13 and 14#its not that he wasnt on scripts it's that he wasn't there from the beginning#blueskying and breaking the stories is so much more important to the season than anything in the scripts#they can always fix characterisation later. to the point of doing it on set#but if there's not enough good ideas and the stories suck for a characters motivation or the plots in general are just bleh#you can't even begin to write a good script#(and they really do need glenn for those things to come together. especially as a tie breaker or a veto)#whereas they like giving scripts to other writers (if not prefer it)!#like charlie said on directing: they get credit on everything for sunny so it's great to give someone else the opportunity#lucky 17#ask#glenn howerton

tommy is so girlcoded. female hysteria as a man. eldest daughter trauma. weird psychosexual relationship with father/father figures and parallels. manipulated for his appearance and sexuality. its a thought
#this isn’t feminising him necessarily it’s about the themes#this is exactly why men don’t understand him the way a girl can#i do hate the male icon sigma alpha thing projected onto him because you’re missing the point entirely#STILL thinking about that deleted scene with the s/a parallel#and the things we know about his childhood adds to it#its so fascinating how so many people completely missed the point#not only seeing him as a good example of masculinity but as an example of masculinity at all when at the core his themes are so -#- traditionally feminine at the core. He is the ophelia the wife who lost a husband the girl interrupted#he is his mothers daughter.#im fucking. ah#peaky blinders is a show for girls and girl adjacents sorry not sorry#thinking about ‘everyone’s a whore’#its certainly an addition#tommy shelby#peaky blinders

@dullgecko wrote something awhile back about touching a goblin so high up on their tail being super scandalous and now I've written something into this throne is not mine (ch25) along that vein lol:
"Humans are especially bad at keeping their hands to themselves.” To make a point, his tail gave a flick, sliding through the fingers of Fabian’s other hand, unable to resist toying with it. “Only half,” Fabian grinned, his hand sliding further up, so close to the erogenous zone that Riz flushed turquoise. “You, uh, you really shouldn’t do that around my family,” he choked out. Fabian let go of his hand to catch his chin and tilt his head back, Riz’s mouth mere centimeters away, his breath puffing over a lip split from gnawing with unease. Riz swallowed audibly. “You like it.” That forced Riz to swallow again. “It’s a, a goblin thing,” he stuttered out. “Touching that high up can -ngh- its -mm—” He lost his train of thought when Fabian stroked back up, kissing him lightly. “So, don’t touch your tail that high up around your mom?” he asked. “Hm?” Riz said, catching his fingers in Fabian’s hair, sinking into his bun and pulling him in for a more sound kiss.
#fabian has discovered a way to distract Riz! its super effective!#tail shenanigans fluster riz like nothing else but if calls Fabian a good boy then he's a fucking RUIN#unfortunately for riz his creature features are obvious erogenous zones and fabian's only got pointed ears not a tail too lol#Sklonda is just relieved that he's not just into him bc he's a goblin tho it is a lovely addition fabian wont lie#fabriz#this throne is not mine crap#the goblin prince riz au

my sibling is starting to write fic and it's so. like they've been drawing for forever and never seem insecure about art. but writing is still new to them! so the fic isn't working how they want it to. i got to point at their pile of like, 20 something filled full size sketchbooks and go, look, you've made all this art, practiced all this time to be good. and how many things have you written? 3? you keep going! you keep doing it and it will be countless one day!
#ramble tag#my siblings... i get mushy when it comes to them#truly nothing in life is more important than my babies. who are not babies but beside the point#(THEYLL BE ADULTS SOON. SOB.)#feels so inappropriate to post about them on this blog but as i have said before. they follow my main#i just need to talk about them sometimes or I'll just lie in bed and cry lmao#sibling i started this post talking about is so smart and creative and fucking /organized/ as all hell#honestly both my siblings are scary driven#it would make me cripplingly insecure if i didnt just love them so damn much. if i wasnt so fucking proud of them#i hate that i couldnt be someone more worth looking up to but i am beyond overjoyed to see them grow into their own regardless#these two are possibly up there as the smartest people ive ever met even if theyre still just teenagers#i can't wait to see who they turn into. who they'll grow up be#(always be my babies in addition tho)#i see the world in them#im immeasurably happy to have the siblings i do#really starting to realize that yknow what? im not missing anything by being aro#by not having much (if any) sexual/romantic shit in my life#those two are my pride and joy and make me happier than any of that ever could#anyways this is a secret dont tell them i said that#psa dont talk to me about my siblings i can keep going until i pass out#god took everything that is Good and put into these precious tiny humans and im just lucky enough to be here !!!#ok i need to stop. its 2am hi

oh good lord my mom’s boyfriend got worse
#he got a second maga hat. this one is worse. once again we are not american#and while it is just a hat this is about the ideology behind it#in addition he unironically supports andrew tate now. so lovely. what a wonderful individual (sarcasm)#i do make it a point to stay out of politics. not in a weird centrist or ‘’i don’t want to get political way’’ but#because that is something for other people with morr strength and more intelligence#or a different kind of intelligence than mine#i know i am objectively human but i do not like to get involved directly in matters that are inherently VERY human#its important. but its not my role#my ‘’dedication to something greater/the greater good’’ is to the woods#in a way that is very very disconnected from humanity or interacting with other humans. i will not get involved with groups i will play out#my role alone#and i like it that way and will not budge on that#my worst take is that i can be kind of a misanthrope but at least i’m not anywhere even veering close to that asshole#i hope someone executes me with a greatsword#to clarify i say the woods but i mean nature in general. the strictly/distinctly nonhuman parts of it#bigger environmental groups can focus on the intersection of humanity and nature as one. that is not my job#anyways the point of my tangent is that i hate thinking about this in the first place. its distracting. i hate that there are people#like this let alone one in the house i am forced to live in#also while i say i don’t get involved i just mean i don’t really add to discussions or get involved with groups or have any desire to#i still like. vote and stuff

i have nothing against the dog motif "trend" but i have to say in terms of its rise in popularity on this site. i was here first . i DO have something against the now-budding comments that it's cringe bc 1) who give a shit 2) i have been here for years get off my lawn
#i do however have something mildly against how its portrayed sometimes . there's one post thats so good on its own and every addition misses#thee fucking point so bad.

I got the blackberries!! I like them :3 I also impulsively bought some blckberry jam despite not being a toast person so now im thinking about making donuts to fill them with it.. hmm 🤔
How have u been? :D
-☀️
Hello sun anon!!!! :D omg you got the blackberries, IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKE THEM!!!!!! :DDDD and blackberry jam is fr one of the BEST things imo, you can use it on sandwiches, or donuts which is SUCH a good idea omg????? It makes for amazing filling. I tend to eat it on crackers with a nutty-flavoured cheese, so thats an option too!!! Its also very delicious in desserts-- people up here make blackberry cheesecake ALL the time its like a staple recipe SKDNWKDNWDNSN so you could do smth like that!!!!! Or petits fours (and this is the part where i display my rabid love for french food akdhakfhekdjwjdj) which are DELICIOUS. Either way the possibilities are endless >:]
Im doing well!!! My partner is currently visiting home so its just me and our roommates, and we just came out the other side of an ice storm that knocked our internet out for a full 24 hrs 😭😭😭😭😭 (we kept power, although it did flicker a bit). luckily tho ive got unlimited data on my phone and im extremely mobile-pilled, so this changed basically.... nothing for me PFFFTTTTT
Ive been very excitedly running the HOTGUY COMICS Zine, which has been an absolute treat, and now im also working on a fun group project with some other chronic zine mods that i cant wait to get started on!!!! And then ofc, the hunger au pre-canon oneshot-- im halfway finished with edits, and its already at 2k fjsnfjdnfjdn. Since im still working on the next chapter proper, i wanted to give yall something to chew on in the meantime!!! (And also ive been wanting to write hunger au oneshots since i first started taking the project more seriously, so this is just one fic in a series of snapshots i cant wait to make!!!!)
Im hoping to work more on that today :] cant make any promises, but i was REALLY happy with how everything turned out last night, so i wanna keep that momentum going if i can
Thanks for asking, sun anon!!!! I hope you're doing well :D how was your flight back home, did it go okay???? And again im so excited for you about the blackberries!!!
#shouting speaks#asks#<333333#tbh ive wanted to make hunger au a series with the main fic plus additional oneshots since chapter 3 fjsbfkdjdkdk#stuff thats both before main fic and also after as well#GODS THE FACT THAT S10 IS STARTING AT SOME POINT SOON HELPS SOOOOOOOO MUCH ON THAT FRONT#I'LL HAVE SHIT I CAN USE AS SCAFFOLDING FOR THE ONESHOTS I HAVE IN MIND#sun anon its always so good to hear from you!!!! one of my fave anons fr ilysm<3#txt

#dannie.txt#dragon age#idk i rlly enjoyed absolution . like yeah i think it shouldve been longer so the characters could be more fleshed out#but i think its a good addition to da ! ! ! and also perhaps an entry point for ppl who want to get into it#but dont rlly play a lot of games . im just talking idk anything#honestly im not toooo surprised that miriam qwydion lacklon and roland arent companions . perhaps they will get smaller roles ! who knows !#god i cant believe absolution was 2 years ago now . . . . passage of time is relentless

Yall have got to learn to ignore polls that are clearly fishing for you to say "what about the obvious answer 9/10 people would choose?" Because if I have to see another poll that equates to an episode of Dora the Explorer im gonna go swiper on your ass and take your internet connection
#smokey talks#polls were a good addition but by golly im such a hater about the way they're used sometimes#they completely eclipsed the 'what is prev' type posts bc u can only answer the poll once...#also those same polls straight up dont matter results wise. its just a button to click#the point of a poll is the results#or a fun gimmick#but the what is prev ones dont need 2 be polls... remember when ghey were pictures#also ppl will just attach a poll to a thing in the hopes that itll get more exposure bc#we tumblrinas love sharing an opinion always

I love when horror games have hiding spots I love when you have to crawl into a wardrobe I love staring through the crack at shadows and the thing you're hiding from I love not knowing when it's safe to leave but knowing you have to I love video games so much....
#bonus points for when some games add an additional mechanic#like holding your breath UGH#sooooooooo good#literally one of my FAV horror game mechanics#something so visceral about those moments#and its a feeling you can only really get in like first person perspective#so i like it even more cause it feels so unique and tailored to the gaming experience

at what point is it unacceptable to display human remains? i went to a museum recently and they had taken down the human remains historically displayed in that room as part of the founder's private collection. they had a sign displayed regarding the history of the museum, and asked how the viewer would feel if they walked into that room and saw their grandfather on display for people to sneer at.
and then i walked into the next room and saw a wall with a dozen skeletons behind glass. does it matter that many of them are thousands or tens of thousands of years old? does it matter that one was over a million years old? when does respect for the dead die?
#idk man. it really bothered me.#of course the situations are different but the way they explicity phrased it as disrespectful of the dead#in addition to the cultural disrespect and imperialist brutality of it... and then they lauded the bones they dug up#as horizon-breaking and science-changing and. i just. those are people.#they're people and they were buried and you took them from their graves and you polished their grave goods so we could point and grin#and i just. agh. AGH. whyyyy is it so normal why is it so casual why is it not a tragedy!#yeah we can learn about the past. i know that that is important im literally an archaeologist.#but do they deserve to be put on display like that.... cmon now....#at least do plaster casts or something. its so.........
