Ok...

So, "Crisis On Infinite Earths Part 3" is out now

I'm going to share two pics and a quote from it, so yeah it's kind of a spoilers thing.

Try not to cry.

"I care, Joker. About Gotham...about justice. And if it has to end, at least I go out like this...being Batman!"

Dark Crisis Spoilers

So I’ve been reading dark Crisis, just because of all the serum hinting & everything else. Turns out it’s different? instead of the serum Rosie gets a heavy dose of ‘Darkness’ and becomes Slade minion? & I think she witnesses Slade & Dick’s conversation within the black.

Which may get some Slade fans happy? A lot of them dislike the serum in general but...

Though it’s a bit confusing at the same time, mainly for the fact it feels  like Rebirth was merged with New Earth? I am not that interested in reading the whole crossover, I might but it’s doubtful. Course I could be reading it wrong, when the comics came out for Dick mentoring Rosie it was nothing like New Earth. She stayed with Slade, never went to the Titans but the comment in the comics just 0.o

this is from an issue before it just feels, i donno. In New Earth, even with how complicated their relationship is (Dick & Rose) he would have reached her. Though I suppose in a way it’s showing the darker paraelle. Though in both worlds Rose was basically a sacrifice for Discowings friend’s safety. (edited in: in New Earth Slade breaks his deal & nightwing Saves her. Gives her a family, does lunches which she never has in Rebirth. Even if that family fell apart Nightwing & the Titans will still come if she needs help.)

Not that I get the whole Rosie being understanding thing. Maybe it’s just the fact Slade was a constant while in New Earth he disowns her & only pulls her back to replace one of his children by force of the Serum. While at the same time New Earth Rose would never pull Slade back, or if she did, she’d do it and then unforgive him again, going back to try to kill him or fuck off for however long..

I really like the idea of the bat kids designating Dick and Jason's apartments as sibling gathering spots but for opposite reasons.

Sibling needs some comfort? Some eldest daughter advice? A shoulder to cry on or just a lil getaway spot from the chaos of Gotham? Dick's apartment is perfect.

But if a batkid wants to complain, maybe wants to talk shit about Bruce, or maybe even wants to discuss a lil felony in a judgement free zone? Jason's place it is.

And I like to imagine that while Dick readily keeps his doors open and reminds anyone that they can drop by anytime, it's the opposite for Jason.

Dude's got his place riddled with traps and locked up to the high heavens. He makes it obvious he doesn't want visitors, and vaguely insinuates that there are bombs rigged somewhere in his apartment so there's a always a 50/50 chance you might get blown up if he's feeling particularly bitchy one day.

But does that stop his siblings? Absolutely not. Unlike Dick (who assigns himself as the guiding older brother), Jason has been forcefully labelled as the older sibling you go to if you need to complain and stir up havoc. The hundreds of traps in his place mean nothing. And it's worse because Jason is never prepared for when someone drops in.

-----

[Jason, 3 hours into his sleep, blearily waking up to a weight on his chest at 4am]:

[Damian, perched atop him, eyes dead-centre locked onto Jason without blinking]: Hello, Todd-stop screaming it is unbecoming-I just came to tell you that father won't allow me to adopt another stray I found on patrol.

Jason, half-asleep and like 70% sure he's hallucinating: Wha-

Damian: I need you to blow up his car.

Jason:

-----

[Jason, arriving home after a 6 hour patrol, exhausted out of his mind, turning on the lights]:

[Stephanie, previously baking brownies in the pitch black darkness before Jason arrived]: Oh hey! Just thought I'd drop by, y'know, for fun.

Jason: Bruce yelled at you again.

Stephanie: Bruce yelled at me again.

And yes, while most of the time, it ends up as wholesome sibling bonding, sometimes the other batkids just feel like inconveniencing Jason just whenever, because what are siblings for?

[Jason waking up and seeing all of his traps and security systems disarmed and very deliberately broken in a way where he'll have to replace all of them instead of being able to reactivate them]:

[Jason, immediately dialing his phone angrily]: Tim, I swear to GOD-

-----

[Jason giving himself a rest-day and cooking some meals]:

[Dick somersaulting in through the open window unannounced (he missed his brother)]: Whatcha up to, littlewing? :>

Jason: GET OUT-

-----

[Jason casually reading a book, feeling a sudden chill up his spine]:

[Cassandra standing in the corner without so much as an exhale, watching Jason intensely. Who knows how long she's been there]:

Jason: Are you here to kill me

Cass:

Jason: Just make it quick.

More caitvi for the soul (art tag if you wanna see more arcane!)

Check out my patreon for my sketchbook!

[hamable]

You’re Ruben Hopclap. You’re a teen rock star headlining a local festival. Your interim principal attempts to kill you multiple times. The elusive crush you wrote all your songs about vanishes with some other kids and returns covered in gore. The most popular guy in school jumps fifteen feet in the air, turns to you with a smirk and says, “I’m actually a huge fan,” and spears said principal through the core. Your crush boards a bus going who knows where. Someone gets on a mic and tells everyone to go home. It’s been four minutes.

[wardensantoineandevka]

for nearly the entire campaign, there's been a lot of discussion asserting "being reluctant to get rid of the gods entirely and being content with the current dynamic of Exandria vis-a-vis the gods is refusing to imagine that a better world is possible"

but I'm still, after all this time, constantly asking myself: IS the current general state of affairs and catastrophes of the post-Divergence because of... the gods? if a better world for Exandria is possible, DOES that start with the gods when every large-scale crisis in the past eight centuries (that at least I can think of) has had little-to-no relationship to the gods?

at what point do we take responsibility for ourselves?

I interrupt my zelda posting with caitvi because Arcane changed my brain chemistry

(ight, now i go back on hiatus! If you want to see my sketchbook which I WILL be posting until the day I wither, check out patreon! Now excuse me as i crawl back into my warm little den)

((Im also currently significantly more active on my instagram posting commission work, if you wanna see it :0))

Edit: ah dang it the hyperfixation’s set in.
