God dude these two scenes and how roxie moves hurt my heart so so bad 🥹

it's like a mix of anger, feral, emotional breakdown, and complete sadness that just fucks me up soooo fucking bad.

it's like she's a pet who got abandoned by their owner but they see them again after years of sadness and depression of them being gone and leaving them like that and all that anger and sadness just manifest's into one bundle of emotion's towards them they cannot control.

roxie baby ur gonna be okay u deserve better :[

this is not a ship post, but something that frustrates me a lot in fanon concerning Jason Todd that attempts to soften Jason's return to Gotham for the sake of found family domesticity or easy hurt/comfort or just sliding him into the Batfam sooner, is they all seem to fundamentally misunderstand Jason.

because there seem to be a lot of fandom popular concepts of Jason coming home much sooner and just not having his whole Under The Red Hood arc. which in theory is fine and i can see the want to simplify canon to make room for your lighthearted more fluff-leaning concepts. but in everyone without fail, the way they address the clown-shaped elephant in the room is by having some throwaway line that "oh Jason quietly kills the Joker and moves on".

when the Joker being dead or alive is not the *point*. if by some chance accident, the Joker had died prior to Jason's return, whether by ridiculous freak accident, getting whacked by a fellow villain, hell even someone actually doing so to avenge Jason, it *would not* satiate Jason's anger. because Jason's end goal in UtRH is not to simply kill the Joker: it is to make *Bruce* kill the Joker. Jason's anger is directed to the idea that to Jason, if Bruce truly loved Jason, he would've killed the Joker. that is love, for Jason. compromising your personal values for love and not letting someone go unavenged. when Jason was Robin, almost every angry or misguided thing he did was born of love. he wanted to kill/hurt Two-Face because he believed Dent killed his father. he was so angry at Felipe because an innocent woman was dead due to that man's actions. he wanted to save his mother in a situation he knew he shouldn't be in because he loved her. his anger, his violence, it is driven by love and feelings of righting wrongs. that is how he thinks wrongs *should* be righted. that is how you avenge and *love* someone.

because so long as Jason's return to Gotham doesn't end in Bruce killing the Joker (which, it never will bc Bruce is Bruce), Jason will never forgive Bruce. you cannot wave away the layers of hurt and complicated trauma by killing Joker offscreen. because Jason will still be angry that Bruce didn't avenge him. in his eyes, that means Bruce did not love him enough. he was not truly loved by Bruce the way he loved Bruce. bc Bruce was Jason's whole *world*. prior to being taken in, Dick and Tim, they had support systems. they had loved ones. they knew what stability and healthy family love looked like. Jason *didn't*. and that's not to say that Catherine Todd did not love him with her whole heart and thus he loved her, but it certainly wasn't a stable and safe support system for Jason to grow up in. Bruce was Jason's first real sense of a stable, healthy life. and so of course Jason poured everything into Bruce and loved Bruce so devoutly. Bruce was his world. like he says, if it had been Bruce, Jason would've stopped at nothing.

so his betrayal is rooted in that he was not avenged, not that Joker is alive. so long as the Joker does not die by Bruce's hands, it will never be enough for Jason. (in this era, at least.) notably, this is also why i don't think it would change a thing if Jason knew the whole "oh Bruce wanted to kill the Joker but Superman stopped him" tidbit that fanon has really latched onto as a way to pacify Jason's anger toward Bruce. Jason knowing that wouldn't change a thing, in my opinion. because Jason knows Bruce. and a tenant of Bruce's character is that he grapples with murder *every day*. the whole point is how *easy* it would be for him. he is a human weapon, trained by killers, trained to be deadly. he is the greatest strategist to exist. he knows he could kill someone and get away with it. *no* trace, no proof, nothing. and he knows he *wants* to. wants to kill the Joker, Joe Chill, anyone who's hurt him that viscerally.

but he *doesn't*. that's the point. Bruce wakes up every day with that question on his mind, and every day the answer is the same. Bruce's morality is not a decision he made in an alleyway when his parents died, it's a decision he continues to make every day and he *must* continue to make in order to remain who he is. Jason is quite familiar with the fact that Bruce grapples with this daily. i do not think it surprised nor fazed Jason to know that Bruce did *consider* killing the Joker. that he wanted to. maybe even planned to. but a consideration, a want, a plan, is just a thought. it's nothing substantial, and substance is everything to Jason. at the end of the day, Bruce didn't. he was talked down by *Clark* of all people with an excuse of diplomatic immunity, as if Jason and Bruce don't both know that Bruce could've *easily* found a way to make it look like an accident or some other loophole. because he's Batman. there's always a loophole. he always finds a way when he actually intends to. but he never actually intended to kill the Joker. so he didn't. and Jason would know that there was never an intent. it's an interesting piece of fodder to add to the nuance of Jason and Bruce, but honestly, i think it'd make Jason angrier to have that excuse thrown in his face. as if Bruce hasn't beaten Clark half a dozen times by now. it's a flimsy nonsense excuse that Jason would rip to shreds.

so while yes, i understand the wish for easy lighthearted fanfic that doesn't have to deal with the nuances of canon, i think that Jason's character will always be so deeply robbed and altered if you try to fix his thirst for vengeance with an off-page killing of Joker at Jason's hands. it was never the point. the point was that -in his own eyes- he wasn't loved enough for Bruce to make an acception. he realized that not even his *death* would come before Bruce's Mission. Jason truly believed that Bruce loved him and held him as the most important thing in the world, and now he has proof that Bruce didn't. because the Mission mattered more.

i'm not saying i have a solution to this conundrum if you're attempting to solve it for fanfic/fanon, nor am i even saying it's a bad thing it exists. i just think it becoming overwhelmingly common has led to misunderstandings surrounding Jason's motivations and feelings about this arc and it's an unsatisfying solution that only seeks to pacify Jason's rage and his trauma responses for the sake of found family-ification.

So I l’ve been getting into your ko crisis story lately (it all sounds rlly awesome btw) and i was curious - you’ve said in the tags in a previous ask that ash is comphet, so is that gonna play a major role in her character arc/journey in any way?

Yeah, the story basically covers her journey of redefining her identity as a queer Asian-American disabled woman in a sports-entertainment industry, which is a media landscape that specifically targets, exploits, and fetishizes people like her.

Welcome to the neighborhood~! 🏡✨

I couldn't stop myself from drawing up just the neighbors; I sprinted the whole nine yards for over a month! XD It was worth it though; I even pixelated plant life for the first time, and they came out pretty well! >u<

Would like to give a bit of thanks to @carnivalcarrion for pointing out some hidden details that I wouldn't have thought to look for, especially in the bodega! (Check out their rant about it, and all their awesome art while you're at it! https://www.tumblr.com/carnivalcarrion/727782616285249536/x)

Quick and dirty script for automated booping

This will only work on desktop browsers. Sorry mobile users, you will have to find some other way to automate your boops. May I suggest you try a macros app?

Navigate to your target in a new tab, it has to be the dashboard view of their blog to work. For instance, I am https://www.tumblr.com/alectoperdita

2. Open your browser's developer console. On Windows, the shortcut is usually Ctrl+Shift+I.

3. Go to the "Console" tab.

4. Paste the following into the entry field at the bottom and hit "Enter"

// time in milliseconds, so 1000 = 1 second, change below to go faster or slower, do not suggest using less than 500 because tumblr might throttle you let time = 30000; const boopBtn = document.querySelector('button[title="Boop"]'); setInterval(function() { boopBtn.click(); const confirmBoop = document.querySelector('button.coRbX.cYyad.TRX6J'); setTimeout( function() { confirmBoop.click(); }, 200); }, time+200);

As long as you stay on the page, it will automate boops for you every 30 seconds. To adjust the frequency of boops, change the number for time. I seriously do not recommend going faster than 500 milliseconds/0.5 second.

You will know it's working because you will see the UI go to the confirm boop overlay and it will automatically confirm. Then it will keep repeating.

To stop spamming boops, simply refresh or close the page/tab.

THERE IS NO TIMEOUT IN THIS SCRIPT. IT WILL LITERALLY KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU CLOSE YOUR BROWSER OR CRASH IF YOU DON'T STOP IT YOURSELF. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! I TOLD YOU THIS WAS QUICK AND DIRTY.

Today was an absolute dumpster fire at home. I can't wait for my roommate's ex to move out after what happened today holy shit...

I don't have many people on my shit list, but after today, she's definitely on there. The audacity of her saying some of the shit she said to me-

I wish I could go back to NYC and stay with my parents for a month or two and visit homies... but I don't want to give her that power.

[mangomybeloved]

the concept of modern relationships and marriage truly is so miserable (i'm primarily speaking about straight marriages) like my parents keep badgering me about marriage and every time i relent and talk to them abt it, im like haha no thank you <3

it's just all tradwife this and provider mindset that and if you're a woman and want to be financially independent, it's a red flag (have read this word for word) and you're getting too old and then no good men will want you and and and

and it makes me so sick like what are we doing here!!!!!!! like it really feels like we as a society took one step forward and are barreling 10 steps backwards regarding gender roles and expectations

So, I was throwing the trash out yesterday, and as I was entering the building, someone was behind me, also trying to get in, and I looked to see, and it was a woman in a buzzcut. She's insanely hot. She said 'hi, hi' in a very friendly way, and I was just, stumped, shocked, unready, so my brain just went blank and I ran away to my apartment.

The next morning I'm watering my plants on my balcony, at 6am, and the same woman with a buzzcut comes out of the building and, she's also throwing out the trash now. I'm staring at her with my mouth open, because she's the most attractive woman I'd seen in real life, and she turns around and looks directly at me, at which point I escape indoors. But then I'm also like, wait, I can grab my glasses so I can take a better look and I'll just hide behind the curtain, you know like a creepy person would, and I grab my glasses, and plaster my face to the curtain and she's staring at me, right through the curtain, like her gaze never went away from the place I escaped from.

My face turned red and I escaped, again, ashamed of my stalking attempt. If she's throwing out the trash in the morning then maybe she moved into the building? If that's the case I want to have an interaction with her, but I'm also not used to people looking that attractive so i don't know how to not have my brain melt whenever I see her. Is there a way to act normal and also not give in to the urge to escape on sight? Also is it fair from me to assume she might be into women just because she has a buzzcut? She does look incredibly incredibly attractive.
