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

My one thing with Ena is I am PETRIFIED it will be killed by the same thing that has killed every indie internet thing that has gotten popular, which is a fandom’s desire for “lore” cannibalizing the media as people obsessively strip it of all meaning by trying to connect all the dots.

Ena presents this amazing insane world that doesn’t make sense at all but you get a sense of the internal logic that somehow governs it. It’s a very very tricky line Joel G walks and I’m amazed he’s able to do it. Dream BBQ, because it’s a game, lets you tug at the thread a little bit but doesn’t let you unravel the mystery, which is neat. Praying they continue to maintain that balance.

after attempting to commission art of boba fett without his helmet, i am forced to consider that a good number of artists, subconsciously or not, cannot accept that temuera morrison has always been hot despite his lack of european features, and honestly this explains a lot about the fucking travesty that is every single clone's face in TCW and TBB

Holy shit so much has happened in the past month and some days . First and foremost, though : while the hiatus is not over, zag is coming back eventually !! Residents of zag nation who are still here, I hope you are yippee'ing with glee :D !!!

Now, brief silliness aside, holy SHIT has so much gone on . A brief, actual tldr is that I'll be back sometime around August or September, depending on how things go, and that you can reach out to me on discord ( either by adding me while I have it up under the cut for a bit, or asking me for it later and I get it to you whenever I can ), but if you wanna read a whole lotta words that're half venting, half semi-explanation for why I left like I did :

Literally the day before I went on hiatus, my half brother and my younger sister dropped double whammies on us ; respectively, he broke both his ankles jumping off an 8ft drop in sandals like a dumbass, and everyone is scrambling to try and find a way to help my sister get through her last few classes of college, because FAFSA sucks major ass and also her poor student's salary is like Net Zero . My mom has had work stress since LAST YEAR piling on her more and more, and February was by far the worst month, and her being stressed has always stressed ME out because we do Not need her strokes coming back to haunt us when she's gone so long without them ; and then, while the actual diagnosis came here in early March, my grandma was finally officially diagnosed with alzheimer's ( she'd been diagnosed with dementia already ), and while we already knew it was coming way before it even happened like this,,,, god . I don't think mom anticipated the speed in which it'd hit any more than I did, because it's been absolutely brutal . I know it isn't fair for my patience to run thin in this case, all things considered, but it's hard to even Want to keep the peace when she's in this mean phase ( especially when she keeps bringing things up from when she was a lot more lucid that she'd already been trying to put me or mom down for, and that we for sure can't help at all because we've tried, but we won't get fully into all that ) . There's just no one else who can help her, and even less who want to, so mom and I have just tried our bests managing and trying to keep her from really just losing it . I can't say it's keeping mom and I from losing it any more than it does her, but all 3 of us are trying

To continue on with more unfortunate zag news is the fact that he won't be back until like, August or September though holy shit ; it'll be a matter of schedule for sure once mid-April hits, because I was already aware of everything going down then, but when I say the rest of the stuff that's gone down / going to go down around that time frame was a shocker,,,, zag has got 2 admit that it's all a little frazzling !! So I'm sorry I'll be gone so damn long 😭 I know I said initially that this hiatus would be longer than the rest, but I never thought it'd end up being THIS damn long,,,

At any rate, because it'll be so much time I'm away, what I said last time still holds : feel free to choose what you'd like to do regarding sticking around or not !!! My half brother had surgery today ( that I got roped into going to, which is a whole big story augh ) so I've got a bit of time to lurk, and thus I'll leave my discord towards the end of this so anyone who wants to continue interacting in any way can reach me, but if you decide / have already decided this is the end of our road, then there's no hard feelings on my end !! In fact, all I wanna say to that is I'll miss y'all, but thanks for sticking around for as long ( or briefly ) as ya did 🫂 and while I know anyone in the latter half likely won't see this, I just wanted the sentiment out there anyhow !

With that, though, that's the stuff ( well, as it pertains to just me / my family ) that influenced zag leaving like he did ; it most certainly isn't Every detail about what I've mentioned, but I felt like explaining this much because I Did mention possibly not coming back, and these had a significant role in coming to that conclusion ( and again, these pertain to me / my family, so I'm only mentioning what I'm comfy sharing at all ), so I felt it right to both address and apologize for it . Life has just been a lot lately, and these events combined with some other private matters just,,, have taken a lot outta me, honestly . Not that it's an excuse ( or, at least, I don't intend it to be one ), but sometimes I think stepping away for awhile is just easier,, and sometimes I think stepping away completely will be easiest ( it's all a matter of the headspace I'm in at the time, too, of course, which is also no excuse but is intended to be an explanation just as much ) . I know I can't get by on JUST explanations, though, and even if I could I'd feel like I can't, so like I said : I'm sorry to y'all that I let things get like that !! Since it's something that's clearly reoccurring ( and admittedly will likely continue to be, since it's just something I've always dealth with in various / similar ways throughout my life ), it's definitely something to figure out how to work on to minimize,, I'll do that in the time I'm away . Or at least try to !!

This is kinda all I've got now that I'm editing this before I head out again so uh . I said thanks in the tags if you read all this already, but thanks again if ya make it to the end of this, and see you guys whenever I'm back :D !

read somewhere that ser.vamps can change their appearances both in human and animal form due to perceptions of both themselves and those around them which answers so many question but got me thinking.

in the re: ser.vamp au, is the reason why we don't get a close up / any features on frey.as face panel partly because she chose to age with her husband?

SoM Day 8+9

remember those chores we still technically need to do?

Arrows lay scattered around them and as she leaned over, gathering the few within arm’s reach. One lay at Keraunos’ feet which he poked at with his long, tapered bill before slipping back into his human form and gathering the remaining arrows into his hands.

“What were we chasing?” Keraunos asked, extending the arrows to her.

With a grimace, Alkidike grabbed them. “I dunno,” she said, sliding them into her quiver. “Some sorta snake. It’s been eating people’s animals.” She shifted her arms and got them under her with a groan.

Keraunos held out his hand and pulled her to her feet, pressing his palm to her shoulder when she swayed a bit. “We should get you home,” he said, echoing her mother, voicing her worry.

Alkidike yanked backwards. “No! The traps, I gotta check the traps.”

“The… what?”

“My rabbit traps. My ma, we—” The girl sniffed and swiped her hand beneath her nose. “It’s food. We need it.”

Hesitant, he mulled over any agreement, but Alkidike was already pushing past him, wincing every couple of steps, but marching on. He trailed after her, eyeing the bloody scrape on her elbow, waiting for the wound to begin sealing itself shut, but it never did. Instead, her jaw quivered while a thin stream of blood inched towards her palm.

“You were a really pretty bird,” she said, breaking the silence. He thanked her and she continued with a sniff, admitting that, “It woulda been cool if you were a hawk or eagle or something. We could’ve hunted together for real.”

The boy tilted his head. “Were we not hunting?”

“Well, yeah,” she said. “Except hoopoes are too little to go after anything worth while. Like my pa, he can turn into a vulture and he’s huge.” She threw her arms wide, only wincing a little as she turned to show Keraunos. “Not that vultures hunt like that either,” she added. “But yknow.”

Okay, I LOVE this sort of stuff. It just makes my entire day.

The Hylian written languages are a mess, man. But it’s nice seeing how they vary and how that’d affect how the Links communicate. I thought it’d be fun to share this since apparently written Hylian isn’t like, common knowledge in the fandom. Might be useful for art or the alike maybe? not sure

(really long post so. under a read more it goes! TL;DR of what’s in here: talking about and showing the written Hylian in almost all Zelda games, similarities between some, brief appearances in other games, and what writing system each Link would use according to all of this (basing it on the LU AU’s Links, but it could apply to any other Zelda AU out there), plus me trying to Connect The Dots™)

INSIDE NO. 9 | Director Guillem Morales + horror (2/2)

From the BBC Sounds pod - S6E5 "How Do You Plead?"

Steve: I'll give you another example: in "The Riddle of the Sphinx", where there's an awful scene where Reece's character is going to carve off a little sliver of flesh from the rear of Nina. And in the script, it said, "As he approaches to do this, we push away onto the face of Squires, and we don't see it." We were very explicit we don't see it. And then we come to film it and he's like, "No, no, no, no. We're gonna film–" (laughs) "–we're gonna film the knife going in." We didn't obviously go too– Reece: It went blurred. It sort of blurred and pulled focus, and you don't quite see it. But you saw in blurred motion the blood dripping (Guillem & Steve: Yeah) from the wound. Guillem: Yeah...are you sure it was not in the script?

Steve: No! It definitely– We wrote– Reece: –I think we wrote that we move away from it so that we don't see it, and we just see her pained eyes (Guillem: Right) pleading, "Don't cut my bum off!" Guillem: You were being a bit squeamish of that. Reece: Yeah, possibly. Steve: Well yeah. You've got to the read the stage directions! [as according to dialogue?] (Guillem: Yes, okay) (Guillem and Steve laugh)

Guillem: Yeah, okay, but you know, making horror, you have to get everything explicit, in a way. I think that is one of my rules, like, get everything graphic. Because if– in the editing you need to push one of the scenes and you don't have that material, you really fucked up then. Reece: Right, so yeah, film it all and then pare back if you need to. Guillem: And then you're going to find the tone– you're going to find exactly what you need in the editing. Otherwise if you don't have it, you don't have it.
