Jason Todd arrives to the Gotham after being brought back alive for the first time, and while building up his career as Red Hood, visits Harvey Dent in the Arkham. They talk in a surprising peace, discuss this and this, and Jason even shares some of his insane ass lore, because, honestly, who is going to believe Harvey Dent?

And no one doesn't.

But there is a problem. The next time Bruce Wayne visits Harvey, Harvey randomly drops a bomb on him by saying that he is so, so glad that their Jaylad is back, and he grew up so much, looks so much like Bruce now! He even tries to assure him that, you see, yeah, Jason was dead, but he crawled out of his grave, and then, the Lazarus Pit fixed him!

Bruce thinks Harvey finally had reached the end of his line. Like, low-key, the last stage of insanity.

Harvey: God, he is still so well-mannered. I feel so pleased that he came to visit old me first, though. I always thought I was his favourite over you.

Bruce, laughing awkwardly, while asking the medics to add some new medicine to Harvey: Ahaha, yeah, that sounds like our Jaylad.

Harvey: Super happy for him, seriously. I mean, look at him, getting himself a new career as a Red Hood. That's our son. Feel a little bit bitter that he is into Al Ghuls family now, but that's fine.

Bruce, frowning, because Harvey isn't supposed to know about Al Ghuls and their connection to Lazarus Pit or about Red Hood: Uh, had J-Jason said something else to you?

Harvey: Oh, damn, we spoke for the whole night. He was pissed at you, though. Like, for the Tim guy, whoever he is.

Bruce, turning to the doctors: ...Maybe, uh, give me the same pills you gave him. I feel like I need it, too.

so one of the things that's so horrifying about birth control is that you have to, like, navigate this incredibly personal choice about your body and yet also face the epitome of misogyny. like, someone in the comments will say it wasn't that bad for me, and you'll be utterly silenced. like, everyone treats birth control like something that's super dirty. like, you have no fucking information or control over this thing because certain powerful people find it icky.

first it was the oral contraceptives. you went on those young, mostly for reasons unrelated to birth control - even your dermatologist suggested them to control your acne. the list of side effects was longer than your arm, and you just stared at it, horrified.

it made you so mentally ill, but you just heard that this was adulthood. that, yes, there are of course side effects, what did you expect. one day you looked up yasmin makes me depressed because surely this was far too intense, and you discovered that over 12,000 lawsuits had been successfully filed against the brand. it remains commonly prescribed on the open market. you switched brands a few times before oral contraceptives stopped being in any way effective. your doctor just, like, shrugged and said you could try a different brand again.

and the thing is that you're a feminist. you know from your own experience that birth control can be lifesaving, and that even when used for birth control - it is necessary healthcare. you have seen it save so many people from such bad situations, yourself included. it is critical that any person has access to birth control, and you would never suggest that we just get rid of all of it.

you were a little skeeved out by the implant (heard too many bad stories about it) and figured - okay, iud. it was some of the worst pain you've ever fucking experienced, and you did it with a small number of tylenol in your system (3), like you were getting your bikini line waxed instead of something practically sewn into your body.

and what's wild is that because sometimes it isn't a painful insertion process, it is vanishingly rare to find a doctor that will actually numb the area. while your doctor was talking to you about which brand to choose, you were thinking about the other ways you've been injured in your life. you thought about how you had a suspicious mole frozen off - something so small and easy - and how they'd numbed a huge area. you thought about when you broke your wrist and didn't actually notice, because you'd thought it was a sprain.

your understanding of pain is that how the human body responds to injury doesn't always relate to the actual pain tolerance of the person - it's more about how lucky that person is physically. maybe they broke it in a perfect way. maybe they happened to get hurt in a place without a lot of nerve endings. some people can handle a broken femur but crumble under a sore tooth. there's no true way to predict how "much" something actually hurts.

in no other situation would it be appropriate for doctors to ignore pain. just because someone can break their wrist and not feel it doesn't mean no one should receive pain meds for a broken wrist. it just means that particular person was lucky about it. it should not define treatment.

in the comments of videos about IUDs, literally thousands of people report agony. blinding, nauseating, soul-crushing agony. they say things like i had 2 kids and this was the worst thing i ever experienced or i literally have a tattoo on my ribs and it felt like a tickle. this thing almost killed me or would rather run into traffic than ever feel that again.

so it's either true that every single person who reports severe pain is exaggerating. or it's true that it's far more likely you will experience pain, rather than "just a pinch." and yet - there's nothing fucking been done about it. it kind of feels like a shrug is layered on top of everything - since technically it's elective, isn't it kind of your fault for agreeing to select it? stop being fearmongering. stop being defensive.

you fucking needed yours. you are almost weirdly protective of it. yours was so important for your physical and mental health. it helped you off hormonal birth control and even started helping some of your symptoms. it still fucking hurt for no fucking reason.

once while recovering from surgery, they offered you like 15 days of vicodin. you only took 2 of them. you've been offered oxy for tonsillitis. you turned down opioids while recovering from your wisdom tooth extraction. everything else has the option. you fucking drove yourself home after it, shocked and quietly weeping, feeling like something very bad had just happened. the nurse that held your hand during the experience looked down at you, tears in her eyes, and said - i know. this is cruelty in action.

and it's fucked up because the conversation is never just "hey, so the way we are doing this is fucking barbaric and doctors should be required to offer serious pain meds" - it's usually something around the lines of "well, it didn't kill you, did it?"

you just found out that removing that little bitch will hurt just as bad. a little pinch like how oral contraceptives have "some" serious symptoms. like your life and pain are expendable or not really important. like maybe we are all hysterical about it?

hysteria comes from the latin word for uterus, which is great!

you stand here at a crossroads. like - this thing is so important. did they really have to make it so fucking dangerous. and why is it that if you make a complaint, you're told - i didn't even want you to have this in the first place. we're told be careful what you wish for. we're told that it's our fault for wanting something so illict; we could simply choose not to need medication. that maybe if we don't like the scraps, we should get ready to starve.

we have been saying for so long - "i'm not asking you to remove the option, i'm asking you to reconsider the risk." this entire time we hear: well, this is what you wanted, isn't it?

It's racist, my dear, to be blunt. People come from outside, they think we're all witches and druids. For God's sake, child, you walked into a piece of string!

the post-veilguard inquisition whiplash continues. i thought the star crossed apostate lesbian tragic sex picnic felt scandalous. then i got smacked in the face with dalish elf baby sacrificing blood cabal conspiracy theories not even a few hours later. this one conversation with josie within the first few hours of the game is more acknowledgement of the violence and prejudice against elves than veilguard has in its entirety.

"they" is a pronoun that has the same rules as any other it's not a 'get out of misgendering jail free' card yes it's gender neutral no it doesn't mean you're allowed to use it to refer to someone you KNOW doesn't use that pronoun

There was a time in which I could not conceive of how I could ever forgive you. And in this moment I am you.

Long-suffering fem Price who is your doting butch roommate- helplessly in love with you and you're the only person in the world who can't seem to notice that fact.

She listens to you after every single situationship sends you home teary-eyed with your tail tucked between your legs. She's always on the couch watching something when you enter, big arm slung over the backrest, as if her natural position just so happens to have a space always available for you to slink into. She turns down the TV and listens patiently while you cry over girl of the month #3, her heart pounding at the feeling of your head on her chest. She's so insanely warm against you. Price stifles the feeling of pride at how quickly you melt into her side, still worried about the tears rolling down your face.

You talk so long you shift positions, she ends up rubbing your feet with her strong hands while you continue to vent. Price is as good with words as she is with foot rubs, she knows just what to say at the perfect time.

'Of course it's ex #3's deal and not you, no there's nothing wrong with you', on and on. She holds back from telling you that you're the most hands-down gorgeous creature she's ever seen- that she'd break her back to give you the world given the chance- Price was too afraid that you'd laugh at her.

Rolls you a cigarette and you move outside, glaring into the night as you take the lit cigarette she offers you. She wraps you in a blanket when she sees you shiver slightly.

Has to bite her tongue so hard it stings when you bitterly joke, "That's it, I have to move. There are obviously no lesbians left in this city for me."

found the most bizarre printing error that i had never in my life seen before now and apparently neither had anyone at the bookstore because i showed it to them and they were losing their minds over it!!

our best guess is that the roll they were printing on reached the end of the roll?? or something along those lines??

but i got a very unique copy of Moby Dick for 50% off because of it so :)

I have this silly headcanon that the wolves all have specific names for each of the family, with Moll being "Mother/Leader/Boss", Mebh being "Sister" and Bill being, like, "Newbie".

But Robyn? Robyn led them in a battle against humans! She's like a mini-boss! So they call her "Commander". The wolves have decided this twelve-year-old stick-thin English girl is soooo cool, actually, and constantly ask her for advice in small problems they don't want to bother Moll about. She's considered equal to Mebh in the pack dynamic, but Mebh is a playmate while Robyn is the sensible one. The one with the braincells in their opinion. Most of these problems are simple wolf problems like "he stole my favorite stick. That's MY stick!!!" and "He stepped on my tail so I bit him. Now he's MAD at me????"

It pisses Mebh off to no end because Mebh feels it's entirely unfair that they're hefting this responsibility on her new sister (AND new wolfwalker!!! She's still new to all of this!!!) and is constantly trying to bait them into calling her "Sister" too and tries to get Robyn to follow in her footsteps.

Robyn, meanwhile, is like "Mebh, these are wolves. I'm not arguing with them unless it's absolutely necessary." and this somehow coalesces in her being their favorite minus Moll, and that's even more annoying to Mebh, who literally grew up with this pack and has wrestled each and every one over a spare rib bone (more than once!) so it's not uncommon for Mebh to tag along and yell at them when they're mucking around.
