i did so much today im so tired

[notbecauseofvictories]

I'm rewatching leverage out of nostalgia and some other emotion I haven't figured out yet, and I do think there's a story in "Maggie Ford Collins deals with having the most unhinged ex in her suburban book group, learns to hotwire a car, and gets her groove back, not in that particular order."

I’ve read some people that took this to mean that Damian is blaming his father for how Gotham turned out. If it were this scene alone, then that would be correct and would be out of character for him. However, the meaning of this scene is followed by this scene from the previous issue…

First, we need to understand the subject being talked about, which is this scene right here. Damian skipped school and his responsibilities as Robin to volunteer at the Gotham Hospital. Batman is teaching Robin he can’t drop off his responsibilities to do what he wants. Damian isn’t just dropping his Robin responsibilities, but his responsibilities at school as well. The problem comes that from Damian’s perspective, his father thinks it’s justified for him to do the same at his age for similar reasons and at a less extreme level (he’s not taking a plane to London to train). Bruce had Alfred, so it isn’t as if he had to live the life of Billy Batson. It’s pride that keeps Bruce from admitting that his son is doing exactly what he did at his age.

The second bit of context to keep in mind is Damian’s inner conflict. The reason he’s volunteering at the Hospital is because of the little girl he was mean to at the Gala that got injured. He feels guilty and places blame on himself if anyone gets hurt on his watch. This is why he’s being told to open up to his father about this. Batman understands Damian has these feelings and we see this in Detective Comics as well.

However, unlike in Detective Comics 1092, Batman isn’t aware his son is battling guilt. He never saw his son being mean to the little girl at the Gala or was there when Damian and everyone was trapped inside the Gala. Not to mention one of Batman’s flaws is that he will become so attached to a case that he’ll miss if any of his kids are hurting unless they tell him. Damian told Batman in Detective Comics 1092, but not in Batman and Robin with Momento.

Something I admire about Johnson is that while he is dialing Damian’s maturity back to when he was younger, he is tackling subjects that had been neglected or poorly executed between Rebirth and the events of Robin by Williamson. While Tom Taylor barely scratches Damian’s guilt driving him as Robin, Phillip Kennedy Johnson is willing to dive into Damian’s guilt and see where it takes him in this story. Does that mean Damian will quit being Robin and pursue being a Doctor? I’ll let Robin answer that question with this and three simple words:

Someone has to. Someone has to look out for his father, his injuries, his care, make sure someone is by his side and be willing to take the mantle and company if Bruce cannot be Batman anymore. If not Damian, who else will? He might be volunteering at the local hospitals or drawing comics, but his future is dead set on being Batman after his father because… someone has to.

Lil Prongs and Lil Padfoot - 🦌🐾

AU where Jily and Blackinnon both have sons on July 31st, and the prophecy is about two brothers who will vanquish the dark lord.

Harry and his godbrother form their own Marauders group (which obviously includes Ron), and yes, Harry recognizes Ginny a lot sooner thanks to his brother. Lil Black has his heart set on another redhead, aka Harry's little sister, and he doesn't know how to come to terms with his feelings.

Headcanoning that in a modern setting, Barok would have, when he was younger, been into LARPing.

The desire to learn how to fight with a sword would have to come from SOMEWHERE. Also lil Barok would be cringe in any setting. I will not be taking criticism on this.

There are two wolves inside me. One wants to embrace a new hobby in dance so I can be active and feel elegant and graceful and strong. This wolf wants to try something new and exciting, finally indulging in something I've always had an interest in.

The other experiences such frustrating emotions on a near daily basis that I want to go back to boxing, which is arguably easier to break into since I've already done it before. This wolf doesn't think of elegance, she just wants to fuck shit up until her body's so overworked and warm it fogs up car windows without having to do anything but sit inside.

Which one do I fucking feed??

Won’t be posting much, I had to go to the hospital yesterday and couldn’t get home until like 3 am

They have no idea what’s wrong with me but my mom says it could be food poisoning or virus going around.

But don’t you all worry I am fine :D

Favorite part of 7x05?

It's gotta be the implied scene where Christopher Diaz comes home from his mysterious "few days away" and is told by his dad that Marisol doesn't live with them anymore.

And Chris looks at Eddie with a full on teenage glare and says, "What. Do you mean. ANYMORE????"

[shalom-iamcominghome]

When the moshaich comes, could they PLEASE teach people specifically in the United States how to actually drive? I'm tired of being in near accidents because american drivers are bad 😭😭😭

many of you already know why but I spend more time than any sane person should listening to dungeons and daddies. doing some work tonight and solidifying these tips for dndads listeners who are continuity-trackers. To be specific, which players to actually map your flexible dndads “canon” off of:

Beth: very consistent about her own characters’ details. might wobble in regards to others’ or world continuity at large. safe to map off of.

Anthony: typically your best bet on world building details, starts to slip on things that aren’t particularly relevant to the overall plot, like an NPC that’s only barely a character at the time, or a specific game rule that’s funnier/better to have forgotten about anyway. very safe to map off of.

Will: most likely to be accurate about an obscure detail from 5 sessions ago. also might be plotting something directly in front of your face. pay attention to him, but also pay attention to where his plan clearly started from because anything before that is fair game to be lightly ret-conned for the sake of something better. generally safe but watch yourself.

Freddie: this man is making it up as he goes do not trust. unless it’s about an obscure fact he read on wikipedia or watched a youtube video about, then write that down.

Matt: This man knows continuity in vibe form only. Is his character role play impeccable? Yes. Can he keep his anecdotes about those characters from contradicting? Absolutely not. Disregard unless backed by a secondary source.

sometimes i think that racism in my area isn’t bad, especially given how diverse of a place i’ve always lived in, but then something happens and i think twice about that.
