I'm an Arkham Knight defender until the day I get ripped screaming from this earth I'm afraid

Yes I know it has problems but I think people overplay and focus on them without considering the positives (or in some cases the justifications that might make certain aspects make more sense/less 'bad')

Specifically I could write a whole damn paper over how Bruce is characterized in game, attempting to refute or at least defend from people who claim his actions make no sense or that he 'doesn't act like Batman' idk idk

#batman #batman arkham #arkhamverse #arkham knight #like yeah of course hes acting funky!!!#hes consumed by grief!#jason died very shortly before Asylum!#barbara became oracle shortly after Jason's death!#both things he blames himself for no matter how potentially unjustified #city happens shortly after asylum #where talia dies!#which he ALSO blames himself for!#hes consumed by grief in Knight #and thats not even mentioning the joker blood transformation thing #which is a bit dumb i grant you but it's certainly a factor #and then hes dosed with fear toxin #a LOT

May your hardened heart be woken By the soft and distant song Of all you left here unspoken All the shards we keep stepping on - Take this body home Take this body home Call the wind, and let her know Take this life outgrown Take this broken soul Call the stars, call them all And take it high, take it far, take it home

#svsss #luo binghe #shen qingqiu #bingqiu #sqq #lbh #scum villain #heard the song Take This Body Home by Rose Betts and it nearly took me out at the knees #it really really suits sqq's self-detonation in hua yue city right? i'm not the only one feeling this?#considered adding some literal shards for them to be stepping on - since sqq's sword explodes - but i couldn't quite make it work #anyway this has been playing like a music video in my head for the past couple days highly recommend listening to the song #if you haven't heard it before #can't get over the absolute dissonance between how sqq views this scene and how everyone else must feel about it #like to him he's just completing his plan - hopefully keeping lbh from destroying a city with energy imbalance and escaping The Plot #nbd! he and sqh have planned it all out it's FINE :) off he goes!#meanwhile everyone who loves him - including lbh who worked years to get back to him and is trying to work through a lot of grief #and resentment and doubt and longing and... - watches him DIE in FRONT OF THEM #just collapse while coughing up blood sword disintegrating energy completely consumed #like holy hell sqq could you traumatize the people around you any more???#no wonder lbh went a little bit crazy after that like my man was already not in a great place but what the fuck #lbh watches his shizun presumably sacrifice himself for him ONCE AGAIN like after he's finally Gotten Strong his shizun is STILL #coming to harm in an effort to make up for his shortcomings #my art #most of the time out here drawing what amounts to muppets and then sometimes i get the urge for this and just need to cover everyone in blo

Yuta doesn't want to see himself as a pawn because he doesn't even want to be a soldier.

He wants to be an ally, a friend, maybe even a knight. He doesn't want to attack on command, he wants to protect. He wants to get in people's faces to defend someone, to accept challenges and prove himself.

Like when he accepted Swerve's challenge and Bryan had to pull him back a little bit because he was too eager. And he got his ass kicked but he still tried to defend Bryan again against Mox, Claudio, PAC, and Marina. Because that's the person he wants to be.

Yuta wants the violence he was taught to mean something, to have a purpose. But they keep going through him.

#how heartbreaking that he found some of that purpose while training bryan to be champion but then he became consumed by grief over the bcc #and then they go through him to get to bryan and he still puts up with it and reaches for bryan #and he doesn't reach for bryan because of the physical pain but because he wants to be assured this is worth it.#bryan didn't make yuta soft. he taught him violence without a purpose is meaningless. and he's living a meaningless life with death riders.#wheeler yuta #bryan danielson #jon moxley #claudio castagnoli #w-wrestling tag?

After reading Dooku: Jedi Lost it's so hard not to get stuck on how his closest mentors happened to be on the opposite side of a very complex spectrum and how that has just as much to do with the way Dooku's opinions of both the Jedi and the Republic were formed as much as his years of messaging Jenza.

On one hand, you have Yoda, who we all know. "Wise and inscrutable," as Sifo-Dyas put it. Yoda is the picture of what a Jedi is supposed to aspire to be. He is the be all, end all of Jedi-hood. Under Yoda's teaching, Dooku was placed in a position where he forced himself to be the best — already an issue he faced before becoming a padawan.

On the other, you have Lene Kostana. From the first time meet her in the audiobook, they tell you that Lene Kostana is someone that the Jedi Council scrutinize and don't take seriously. Her interests in Sith history are seen as irrelevant more than they seem dangerous. Everyone is blind to the idea that the Sith could make a return, while she's preparing herself for a potential – and, to her, ineviteable – ressurection of the Sith.

In a perfect world, these two opposing forces would create a balance where Dooku might be able to learn from two teachers whose ideals might clash, but could ultimately be interwoven to form something coherent.

But this isn't a perfect world. From the very beginning, Dooku already has conflicts of interest, and they only add on over time. He's in contact with Jenza – a sister a Jedi is not supposed to have–, he struggles with an attachment to Sifo-Dyas, he has a tendency to let his emotions get the better of him.

Of course, all padawans have struggles that they have to face, but Dooku's are exacerbated by a couple of facts: Yoda is an absent Master when his responsibilities to the Council override his teaching, and Lene – who Dooku already knows is different, who Dooku originally wanted as his Master! – is the one who continues to mentor him when that happens.

Lene Kostana is not a perfect master. Of course, neither is Yoda, but Lene makes her deviation from the typical Jedi known and doesn't shy away from it. She's unapologetic in her search for Sith history, and while Dooku might find that fascinating, we as the readers can see where the faults lay, where that obsession begins to override everything and begin that rift in Dooku's faith and trust in the Jedi.

They suffer a traumatizing experience that unquestionably affects Dooku and makes Sifo-Dyas' visions worse, and what does Lene do? She asks Dooku to keep this a secret from the Council, because the Council already wants her to stop what she's doing. Then, when Sifo's visions do continue to get worse, she asks Dooku to hide it and places in him the fear that the Jedi will do something terrible to Sifo-Dyas, like institutionalize him. Lene tells him over and over again that the Jedi Council is not perfect either– tells him to be weary of them, that they''re afraid.

In contrast, when a situation comes up where the Council do find out about something else that's against the Code within the Jedi, Yoda tells Dooku that they would've helped had they been trusted and known, but Dooku doesn't believe him. He's even shocked and disillusioned by the Jedi taking legal matters into their own hands.

This isn't to say Lene's influence or Yoda's paragon status shaped Dooku into what he became. Everyone had a hand in that, Dooku himself most of all. Circumstances fell into place to create that path. Ultimately, it was Dooku's own hubris that became his downfall.

But, shit, having those two wildly different people to guide him sure as hell didn't make it any better.

#eza.txt #i wasn't trying to make a long post like this but i'm consumed by the grief of having read that fucking book #do i think dooku being not left under lene's care would've helped? maybe. probably not.#maybe because in remaining with lene he kept his attachment to sifo and maybe because that boy should not have been anywhere near sith shit #probably not because dooku's pride could and would find a way #idk idk i would fight lene kostana in a dennys parking lot but i'd also get down on one knee for her #book blogging #dooku jedi lost #count dooku #lene kostana #master yoda

in the span of maybe an hour, clara oswald goes from, "I already know - don't say it." to, "people like you and me should say things to each other" and I'll never get over it

she literally gets pulled out of time the moment before her death and learns he's been clawing his way back to her for 4.5 BILLION years?? Just to save her??? I would also suddenly and urgently have words

#doctor who #clara oswald #12th doctor #twelveclara #you say goodbye to the person who's most important in the whole universe to you #things between you are left unsaid but not unknown #and then just before your heart stops beating - he's there??#but he's frantic and desperate and angry and not entirely himself and when you look in his eyes #you know it's been more than a few minutes for him #but BILLIONS of years???#(Clara's stronger than me I'd pass out or go catatonic from the sheer enormity of that realization)#of course you have to say something in the face of something so terrible and beautiful #and frankly he's too consumed by grief and anger to hear her #but I imagine whatever she said was both a confession and a plea to never do that on her behalf again #dw #i think even at the end clara doesn't quite grasp the sheer depth of his love for her until then #and she never wanted to die - but she didn't want him to do THAT; that level of devotion was unfathomable #god im obsessed with them #when is it my turn

AU where Atreus gets stuck as a bear and him and Sindri have to go on a brother bear style adventure to make him human again.

also open to the idea that this happens after Ragnarok and this is the story of how Atreus and Sindri reconnect

#god of war sindri #sindri #god of war atreus #god of war #god of war ragnarok #i like the idea that this happens after Ragnarok alot #sindri is so consumed by grief and wants everyone to leave him the hell alone but this godamn bear keeps following him #and of course the godamn bear is actually Atreus #Hasn't he done enough already??#but he so clearly needs help and Sindri can't fight off a bear that just refuses to let up #they make a deal that if he helps atreus become human again then he will leave him alone forever #obvs they end up making a fantastic tag team #freya tells them they have to travel to a high mountain and preform a spell in order to change him back #one adventure and some begrudging bonding/healing later and they get to the mountain #wacky bear shenanigans included #the spell docent work though #because Atreus is stuck this way because of his guilt #the spell only breaks when Sindri tells him that he's got to let go of his guilt #he finally listens to his brother's last words #godamnit i wish i could write coz this could be such a cool fanfic

This show is so good at small little details to reveal what's going on in the characters headspace eventually. The way that he was so obviously in that blank stare and space feeling god knows what fighting a silent battle of what is probably profound suffering if you love deeply, which obviously Rick does, and then instantly bumbled up and made a little quirky joke and then smiled and went back to having that mellow but distant tired look on face, which we've seen him do plenty of times before-it just goes to show that it's all just a performance, and that he probably has been feeling this way the majority of the time.

I know that we already know that Rick is miserable, obviously, for a multitude of reasons, but this just really said in stone the extremely and deeply deeply depressed in pain that he's carrying around with him all the time.

#I feel like I'm an outcast consumer for feeling this way #but if you suffer from severe depression or from grief in some way #or alcoholism etc #these shows can be so cathartic to watch or at least as much as watching a show can be #rick and morty #rick sanchez #my baby ❤️#I'm so content to grieve with him for the rest of my life #I don't know how to explain it but with the way that he's written I can feel the stimulation of his pain as if it's a real person or as if #it's my own.#it's probably because we both feel and love and not get over things incredibly similar ways

ngl throwing danny phantom, a facsimile of the hero genre and practically a mockery of a coming of age story, at dc, one of the paragons of superhero stories that, while admittedly could be better written at times and is constantly retconning due to it’s dated past, is still a highly complex and admirable story, is goddamn hilarious. I’ll be the first to admit that i haven’t seen canon for either of them, but may the Fool help me, it is fucking hilarious that these two sides of the same coin are actually just a coin mint error where both sides are actually just the same person different portrait.

#randomartmaker rambles #look batman and superman are objectively coming of age stories #superman especially since his beginning comes with the fact that he’s trying to figure iut how to handle his identity in a world that would #isolate him for it #and batman is a coming of age in it’s ideas of responsibility grief and childhood; whether or not batman himself is ‘coming of age’#alternatively; danny ohantom reflects dc’s past in athrowing deus ex machinas everywhere #also in throwing the themes of child death; abuse both familial and institutional; loss of childhood; dp transcends it’s ‘cartoon’ base #they’re both things that people treat like ‘oh that’s childish; why are you consuming something with a shallow message’ but clearly they #never saw it the same way y’all did #anyway i hope i got this shit mildly accurate considering i’d like to reiterate i never saw canon #i’ve acquired free time so i might binge dp eventually and attempt to begin the comics but i’m also a chronic liar to myself #dpxdc #dcxdp

Do you ever. Do you ever think Hyuna is jealous of Hyunwoo. Because he got to die young and unburdened by the weight of so much death

For the first few years after Hyunwoo’s death, Hyuna would think, “If it had to be one of us, it should have been me.” But after a while she thinks, “I’m so glad it was you.” Because now she understands.

#LIKE LOOK AT ALL THE SHIT SHES BEEN THROUGH #AND HYUNWOO WILL NEVER HAVE TO SUFFER THAT WAY #he didn’t have to grieve his best friend. he didn’t have to be consumed by grief and fury #he never had to perform for alien stage #i think hyuna would be thankful for those things just to have something positive to hold onto #alien stage #alnst #alnst hyuna #alnst hyunwoo #my post

I love Jiang Cheng and I hope you agree. The most tragic thing about yunmeng siblings is that JC and WWX really love each other the whole time… I like to think they can fix it someday

Someday perhaps....in the meantime, I bet he's loving having dogs run around lotus pier. As a WWX deterrent of course. No therapeutic reasons at all.

#Poorly Drawn MDZS #MDZS #Jiang Cheng #As much as I put him on blast #I do like JC quite a bit.#Man....I'm sad you're on anon cause I'd love to talk more about the yunmeng sibiling tragedy #Part of me so badly wishes that they do reconcile after some time #though a good tragedy comes from the pain of what could have been #JC is definitely in my top 5 mdzs characters and its absolutely due to how messy he is #ngl I can kinda relate to where his hurt comes from and it makes it very interesting to analyze.#Favourism and antagonism of parents messes up sibling dynamics so much #The grief and trauma ended up causing a rift not a shared moment of solidarity #JC is a counter-representation and a foil to how LWJ deals with his grief #as heartbroken as LWJ is he...keeps his life going. The grief settles and he doesn't forget but he *moves forwards*#JC doesn't! He can't! He has so much guilt and regret and the grief stagnates him! Love and grief can become so terribly consuming!#He's so human for it! This is a story where no-one is morally black or white! *People* aren't black and white!

Heyyyyyyy

Can you write something family related?

Like they just had their first sparkling and are adjusting to having them around

I'm a sucker for some good ol' MegOp family fluff

Thanks in advance!

------

Optimus is running towards Megatron, looking around while he does so. "Megatron!! Have you seen our little one? I can't find them anywhere!" Optimus paces around. Fretting and looking worried.

Megatron, in turn. Has the fakest supriced expression. "Oh? Well, I haven't seen any little one running around here. Have you checked the kitchen?"

"Yes!! I-" Then Optimus hears a giggle. One that suspiciously sounds like it's coming from behind Megatron. Optimus huffs in amusement. Relieved that their little one is safe, and now more than happy to play along with this little game of hide and seek. "Meeegaaatrooon..?"

"Yes, my dearest conjux?~" Megatron stares innocently at Optimus as another giggle is heard from behind the ex-warlord.

"Are you sure you don't know where our little one is?" Optimus asks again. A playful smile on his lips as he raises an optic ridge.

"Oh! Is my spark-bonded accusing me of being a liar? Optimus, I thought you knew me better than this! The nerve!" Megatron pretends to act offended. Huffing as he then turns around with his arms crossed to reveal that their sparkling was holding on to Megatron's back. Still giggling and now squealing at the fact that Optimus can now see them!

"Siiireeee!! You said you wouldn't let my carrier see me!!" The sparkling whined. Kicking their little feet on the back of Megatron's frame.

Megatron chuckled. "I don't remember making such a promise. I only remember a certain someone climbing up my back and wispering at me to hide them?"

Optimus sighed with a grin, shaking his helm, and went over to pick up their sparkling. "Megatron, you seemed to have had a little scraplet stuck to your back."

"Oh really? Thank you, Optimus. For removing it and avoiding a bigger problem. Now, shouldn't you go back to searching for our little one?"

"Huh?" The sparkling looked between their two creators, a bit confused.

"Yes, I think you're right. I wonder where our little one could have gone?" Optimus hummed. Pressing a kiss on Megatron's lips.

"Carrier!! It's me!! I'm here!!" The little one giggled, wiggling and trying to get Optimus's attention.

"Have you tried looking in the bath?" Megatron teasingly commented, knowing that it was a bath that their little sparkling was running away from. He hummed into the kiss and pressed one of his own to Optimus's forehead.

"Sire!! No!!!" The sparkling gasped, trying to wiggle free from Optimus's grip.

"You know what, I just came from there. But it would be a good idea to check again. I'll see you soon." The ex-Prime chuckled. Turning around with their sparkling, who was laughing and shouting a dramatic "noooooooooo!!" As Optimus now pretends to notice that the scraplet he was holding suddenly turned into their sparkling! A lecture ensues as they turn the corner.

Megatron watches his two most cherished walk off. He himself chuckles, walking to their kitchen to get some energon. Knowing he'd need it for when it became his turn to take care of their little one. How did Megatron get so lucky to have Optimus in his life? He will never know. All he knows is that, as he hears the laughs of both his conjux and sparkling, that he is glad things turned out this way.
