#i just want to be a child again. i understand being a child was also miserable I am not glorifying my childhood

[orthodera]

Okay so. I wasn't sure what to share at first but this hit me just now while I was trying to sleep. Also I'm putting this here instead of the tags because I anticipate it being a fair amount of text and I want to be able to use commas.

When I was a kid, at some point, I must've been about 9. I can't remember why, but I became obsessed with rolling. Like, I'd be standing in the grass, and I'd suddenly launch myself at the ground, and use the momentum to roll over and stand back up. Here's an illustration.

I have no idea why! I was an autistic child. But I practiced this for hours, usually to entertain myself while attending my sister's weekend soccer games, and became very good at it. I only ever did this on grass because I didn't hate myself. I was also mildly afraid of breaking my neck but I just. Kept doing it anyway?

Anyway. I eventually stopped doing this and kinda forgot how to do it at all. Then one day when I was 11, I was walking across the court at school with two of my friends, and I tripped. SLAM down onto the concrete. Except... Not really. Instead what happened was this:

I landed with momentum, minimising the impact, executed a perfect roll, and was back on my feet before I could even process what happened.

My friends stared at me in shock and horror. I stood there, amazed, still trying to understand what just happened. It felt exactly as sudden as it appears in my shitty diagram. I was standing, then I was down, and then I was standing again.

I landed on my shoulder, on concrete. It should've hurt. It didn't hurt at all. Muscle memory had kicked in and I had rolled like a fucking ball.

For the entire two years I was at that school, I brought it up over and over again, probably annoying everyone around me. Just looking at that patch of concrete made me laugh. It thought it could defeat me, but I had been training for that battle since before I met it. I survived with maybe a scuff mark on my shoe, a bit of dirt on my white uniform t-shirt, but completely unharmed. All because I was an autistic 9 year old. Hell yeah.

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore

HI BABY I LOVED THE KID ASKING MINGYU FOR ANOTHER SIBLING

°❀⋆.ೃ���*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.

It was a sunny afternoon, and you were lounging on the couch with Joshua when your daughter, Emily, came running up to you. She had a determined look on her face, and you could tell that she wanted something.

"Mommy, Daddy," she said, climbing onto the couch and snuggling between the two of you. "Can I ask you something?" You exchanged a glance with Joshua before nodding. "Of course, sweetheart," you said. "What is it?" Emily looked up at you with her big, innocent eyes. "I want a baby brother or sister," she said bluntly. "I'm tired of being an only child."

You and Joshua were both taken aback by her request. You hadn't expected her to ask for a sibling so soon. Joshua cleared his throat and spoke up. "Emily, having a baby is a big responsibility," he said gently. "And it's not something we can just decide on a whim." Emily pouted, clearly not satisfied with his answer. "But I want one now," she insisted. "All my friends have siblings and they're always playing together."

You could see that she was getting frustrated, and you knew you had to handle this delicately. You took Emily's hand in yours and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "I understand that you want a sibling," you said. "But having a baby takes a lot of planning and preparation. It's not just about wanting one, it's about being able to take care of them." Joshua nodded in agreement. "Your mommy is right," he said. "But we'll talk about it, okay? Maybe we can have a family meeting later and discuss it more."

Emily seemed satisfied with that answer and snuggled closer to you, resting her head on your lap. You stroked her hair gently, feeling a mixture of emotions swirling inside you. Joshua leaned in and whispered in your ear. "She's getting so big," he said. "I can't believe she's already asking for a sibling." You nodded, a small smile playing on your lips. "I know," you whispered back. "It feels like just yesterday she was a little baby."

Emily looked up at you again, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Can I have a baby brother?" she asked. "I want a little brother to play with." Joshua laughed and ruffled her hair. "We'll see, sweetheart," he said. "But for now, let's focus on being the best big sister you can be." You felt a pang of guilt as you looked at Joshua. You knew that having another child would mean more responsibilities, but you also knew how much Emily wanted it.

"Hey," Joshua said, noticing your expression. "Don't worry about it too much. We'll figure it out together." You nodded again, feeling grateful for his support. "I know we will," you said, leaning in to kiss him.

Emily made a face at the display of affection, clearly not interested in seeing her parents kiss. "Eww, gross," she said, covering her eyes. You and Joshua laughed and pulled away from each other, your attention returning to Emily. "Alright, enough about siblings," you said. "What do you want to do today?" Emily thought for a moment before grinning. "Can we go to the park?" she asked. "I want to play on the swings!"

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.

You and Joshua were lying in bed, the room dimly lit by the moonlight filtering through the curtains. Emily was fast asleep in her room, leaving the two of you alone. Joshua turned to you, a sly smile on his face. "So," he said, tracing patterns on your arm. "About what Emily asked us earlier..."

You groaned and buried your face in the pillow. "Don't remind me," you mumbled. "I can't stop thinking about it." Joshua chuckled and pulled you closer to him, his chest pressed against your back. "It's okay," he said, his breath hot against your ear. "I've been thinking about it too." He began to kiss your neck, his lips leaving a trail of soft kisses down to your shoulder. You shivered at his touch, feeling a familiar heat starting to build inside you.

"We could start practicing," he whispered, his hand sliding up your thigh. "You know, just in case." You bit your lip, trying to hold back a moan as his hand continued to move higher. "You're insatiable," you said, arching your back against him. Joshua chuckled again, his fingers now tracing the waistband of your pajamas. "Only for you," he replied, his voice huskier than before.

He nipped at your earlobe, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin. "Come on, baby," he whispered. "Let me take care of you." You turned around to face him, your eyes dark with desire. "Okay," you said, your voice barely above a whisper. Joshua claimed your lips in a heated kiss, his tongue delving into your mouth as he pushed you onto your back. He settled between your legs, his body pressing you into the mattress.

His hands roamed over your body, exploring every inch of you as if he hadn't touched you in ages. You moaned into the kiss, your hands gripping his shoulders tightly. Joshua broke the kiss and began to kiss his way down your neck, leaving a trail of hickeys in his wake. He continued down to your collarbone, his tongue tracing the line of your bra.

"You're so beautiful," he murmured against your skin. "So perfect." He reached behind you and unhooked your bra, tossing it aside and exposing your breasts to him. He immediately took one of them in his mouth, sucking and biting gently. You gasped and arched your back, your fingers tangling in his hair as he continued to lavish attention on your breasts. He moved to the other one, giving it the same treatment, before making his way down to your stomach. He hooked his fingers into the waistband of your pajamas and slowly began to pull them down, revealing your lace panties.

"These are new," he said, a smirk on his face. "Did you wear them for me?" You blushed and nodded, feeling a mix of embarrassment and excitement. "Yes," you admitted, your voice breathy. Joshua groaned and leaned down to kiss your stomach. "You're trying to drive me crazy, aren't you?" he asked, his lips brushing against your skin. He hooked his fingers into the waistband of your panties as well and pulled them down, tossing them aside with your bra. He spread your legs apart and settled between them, his eyes roaming over your naked body.

"You're so wet for me," he said, his voice filled with desire. You felt yourself getting even wetter under his gaze, your body aching for his touch. "Please, Joshua," you begged, unable to form any coherent sentences.

He chuckled and leaned down to press a kiss to your inner thigh. "Patience, baby," he said, his breath hot against your skin. "I want to take my time with you." He began to kiss and nibble on your thighs, purposely avoiding the one place you wanted him the most. You whimpered and tried to squirm away from him, but he held you down firmly.

"Be a good girl and stay still," he said, his tone commanding. You bit your lip and nodded, trying your best to keep still despite the growing frustration building inside you. Joshua continued to tease you, leaving love bites all over your thighs and hip bones.

He finally reached your core, his hot breath ghosting over your sensitive skin. "You're dripping," he said, his voice filled with awe. "I love how responsive you are to me." You let out a loud moan as his tongue makes contact with your clit, only to have it ripped away as he pulls back. You looked at him with pleading eyes, your body trembling with need.

"Please don't stop," you whimpered. "I need you." Joshua smirked and leaned back down, his tongue flicking out to tease your clit again. "I love it when you beg," he said, before diving in and sucking on your clit.

You cried out in pleasure, your hands gripping the sheets tightly as he ate you out. He sucked and licked at your clit with fervor, his fingers digging into your thighs to keep you in place. He inserted two fingers into your wet pussy, curling them upwards to hit your g-spot. You moaned loudly, your hips bucking against his face as he continued to work you with his tongue and fingers.

"You taste so good," he groaned, his voice muffled against your pussy. "I could do this all night." You felt yourself getting closer and closer to the edge, your orgasm building with each thrust of his fingers and each flick of his tongue. You knew you weren't going to last much longer.

"Joshua, I'm gonna cum," you panted, your body tensing up in anticipation. He hummed in response, the vibrations sending shivers down your spine. "Cum for me, baby," he said, his fingers pumping in and out of you faster. "I want to taste you when you come." With a few more flicks of his tongue and curls of his fingers, you came undone, your body convulsing as waves of pleasure washed over you. You cried out his name, your back arching off the bed as you rode out your orgasm. Joshua continued to lap up your juices, his fingers slowing down as you came down from your high. He finally pulled away and looked up at you, a satisfied grin on his face.

"You're so beautiful when you cum," he said, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. You lay there, panting and spent, as Joshua moved up to kiss you deeply. You could taste yourself on his lips, and it only made you more aroused. He broke the kiss and nuzzled your neck, his hand gently stroking your side. "I'm not done with you yet," he whispered in your ear. You watched as he removed his boxers, revealing his rock-hard cock. You bit your lip, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement.

He positioned himself between your legs again, his tip pressing against your entrance. "Are you ready for me?" he asked, his eyes dark with desire. You nodded, your heart racing in your chest. "Yes, please," you said, your voice barely above a whisper. Joshua slowly pushed into you, groaning at the feeling of your tight walls surrounding him. He gave you a moment to adjust before he started to move, his thrusts slow and deliberate at first.

"You're so tight," he grunted, his hands gripping your hips tightly. "You feel so good around me." You wrapped your legs around his waist, pulling him closer to you as he began to pick up the pace. He leaned down to kiss you again, his tongue exploring your mouth hungrily. He angled his hips slightly, hitting your g-spot with every thrust. You moaned into his mouth, your nails digging into his back as pleasure coursed through your body.

"I love being inside you," he whispered against your lips. "You're mine, Y/N. Only mine." You nodded again, completely lost in the pleasure he was giving you. "Yes, I'm yours," you panted, your words interrupted by moans and gasps. He started to thrust faster, his hips snapping against yours with a bruising force. The sound of skin slapping against skin filled the room, along with your moans and his grunts.

"Say my name," he demanded, his voice low and rough. "I want to hear you scream my name as you cum again."

"J-Joshua!" you cried out, your nails raking down his back as you felt another orgasm building up. "I'm close, please don't stop!" He grunted in response, his thrusts becoming even more erratic as he neared his own release. "I won't stop until you're a complete mess," he growled, his fingers digging into your hips hard enough to leave bruises.

With a few more powerful thrusts, you came undone again, your body trembling uncontrollably as you screamed his name. Your walls clenched tightly around his cock, sending him over the edge as well. He buried his face in your neck, biting down on your shoulder as he came inside you, his hot seed filling you up. He rode out his orgasm, his hips still moving against yours as he pumped you full of his cum. You both collapsed onto the bed, sweaty and exhausted. Joshua rolled off of you, panting heavily as he tried to catch his breath.

He pulled you into his arms, holding you close as he placed gentle kisses on your forehead and cheeks. "You did so good, baby," he said, his voice soft and gentle. "You took me so well." You snuggled into his chest, feeling completely satisfied and happy. "I love you, Josh," you mumbled, nuzzling your face against his skin. He smiled and kissed the top of your head. "I love you too, Y/N," he replied, his hand stroking your hair. "More than anything in the world."

You were about to say something when you suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion wash over you. You yawned and snuggled closer to him, too tired to form any coherent sentences. Joshua chuckled and held you tighter. "Looks like someone needs to get some sleep," he teased, amused by your tired state. Joshua smirked and ran his fingers through your hair, enjoying the way you were cuddling up to him.

"You're so cute when you're tired," he said, his voice filled with affection. "I guess I did dick you down pretty good, huh?"

[about-faces]

Saw a post from a Nightwing fan that was like “oh my god there’s someone out there who seriously would like to see Two-Face in the BatFam, WTF?! After what he did to Dick?! What the hell is wrong with you?!”

….

…

… Anyway, here’s why I think Harvey Dent should be in the BatFam.

For starters, I think it would be a wonderful way to incorporate Bruce’s long-standing love for Harvey in a situation where he gets to interact with a variety of young people who either have personal beefs with Harvey and/or have little sympathy/reason to care about him. We’ve already seen the potential of Harvey and Jason interacting and how fantastic that was for both characters.

I want to see Harvey (specifically a Harvey whose good side gets to be present and distinct, if not in complete control for the time being) interact with Dick, who hates him and—like some of his fans—completely disregards Harvey’s history of mental illness and internal struggles to overcome Scarvey. Extra points if they incorporate the Robin: Year One origin with Dick being beaten by Two-Face (which is not currently canon, btw), something that Harvey would never have done if he was in his right mind or even in control at the time. He was subsumed by his worst side to the point that Two-Face outright genuinely considered Harvey “dead,” but Dick neither knows nor cares about that, and I’d like to see that explored outside of a typical hero/villain environment.

I want to see Harvey interact with Damian and Cass, who each might have his own opinions about Bruce’s ongoing belief in someone’s inherent goodness, heroism, and worth, no matter how much blood is on one’s hands or how they were raised.

I want to see Cass and Steph both reckon with Harvey’s own history of abuse at a father’s hands, and how one tries to struggle against the cycles of violence. Is Harvey a victim of how he was raised, or is he a monster for not overcoming his trauma like they did? I want know if the compassion Cass extended to Clayface could also apply to Harvey. I want to know if either woman would have any empathy for Harvey, or condemn him as being reprehensible and irredeemable.

I want Babs to have a backstory where she, as a kid, knew and liked Harvey, and the two bonded over having alcoholic fathers, something which no one can understand if they haven’t experienced it.

I want to see if Duke has any feelings about a once-good man who was transformed into something he does not want to be, much in the way his own parents were victims of Gotham’s monsters.

I want Tim to better understand Harvey’s psyche, to see if he still thinks that Harvey is someone who “chooses” to become Two-Face again after every redemption attempt.

I want more interactions between Harvey and Jason, acknowledging them as twin symbols of Bruce’s failure who both became murderous mob bosses. How many orphans has Jason created? Why is Jason welcomed back in but not Harvey? Is it because Harvey nearly beat a Robin to death, just like Damian did with Tim? Is it okay to excuse/forgive a brainwashed child but not a severely mentally ill adult who had no control over his worst side? Why or why not?

I want to know which BatFam members would even notice all the ways that Bruce and Harvey are so similar, mirrors to each other with Harvey being the one who lost everything, including his own identity and sanity. I want to know what their takeaways would be, or if they’d even care. I want to know if any of them would realize that Bruce could easily fall like Harvey without the love and support they provide as a family, which Harvey lacks?

Remember A Lonely Place of Dying? Harvey without Gilda and Batman without Robin, both evenly matched in a mutually-suicidal death spiral, broken only when Tim emerged in Bruce’s life? Would Tim draw those parallels? Would any of them? Would it even matter?

Because not all of the BatFam can or should have empathy for Harvey. No family, not even the BatFam, should end every disagreement with Full-House-style hugs and apologies. Sometimes you just hate or don’t even care about other family members, and that’s fine! But I still want to see those relationships explored and hashed out within the context of family.

On top of it all, I want some acknowledgement that Harvey was Bruce’s first and only ally back in Batman: Year One before Gordon came around to Bruce’s side. That Harvey was the ONLY person in Gotham trying to fight against the forces of the mob and cops alike before Bruce returned and Jim rolled into town. That he, as Batman’s ally and the youngest DA in Gotham history, was the original Boy Wonder of Gotham City. That Bruce’s failure to save Harvey has hung over each and every one of his relationships and connections in the BatFam.

Finally, I want to see Harvey in the BatFam because I want to know that, no matter what you’ve done or become, there will still be some people out there who are holding out for you to come back. That you may not be forgiven by all or even most of them, but you’re still worthy of love. And even if/when Harvey loses his battle with himself again, I want some of the BatFam to react with sympathy, some having changed their perceptions about the man they only knew as Two-Face. That maybe, occasionally, the criminals they fight aren’t monsters but just broken people, lost to some combination of circumstance, upbringing, mental illness, and personal choices. I want to see them reckon with that. I think that would be important.

And okay yeah sure I’d also like to see Harvey take them all out for pizza and games at Chuck E Cheese’s or something like that. I just think that’d be neat.

Anyway. I hope that all makes more sense now for anyone still wondering. I’ll finish up with proof that Harvey being in the BatFam has actually been touched on in comics, from the gatefold cover of Hush (that’s Harvey, not Hush, with the bandages), DC Future State, and DC Bombsells.

So there’s a fuzzy sort of precedent for Harvey fitting in with the BatFam. I just hope someone at DC will eventually share my vision, even if some BatFam fans never will.

🌹 Love of My Life...

~ Summary : Jason and Y/N have been dating for 3 years. Others might say it's rushed. But Jason has other plans on their date other than being a simple "Valentine's".

~ Warnings/Genre : Fluff! (No spoilers for you~!)

~ Words : 749

~ A/N : This is the first fic for the Valentine's special! I forget if I've mentioned it. But hey, Jason fans—nations. Enjoy this fic!! And also. Happy Valentines day!!

~ Pairing : Jason Todd x Male!Reader.

Y/N, a male who was known to be outgoing, maybe a little now and then he absolutely despise talking with people and easily anxious. But hey, he’s still a great guy! Unlike his… boyfriend, his boyfriend of 3 years. Jason Todd who never enjoy talking with people, it irritats him if someone looked at him—his old visible wounds showing thanks to his traumatizing past. The way people would look at him with pity annoys the living hell out of him.

But Y/N isn’t that type, he was rather understanding. He wouldn’t and never forced Jason to do something he hates. And Jason knew that everything was alright if Y/N was around, and he would hold his hand like he was a fragile being, loving Y/N with everything he has. Don’t forget to mention the fact that Jason loved to spoil his lover.

Y/N could just laying on bed, in Jason’s apartment. Scrolling through his phone to find a book. Marking it as favorite and the next morning? Boom! The book was right in front of his house when he didn’t came to Jason’s place. He simply wanted to spoil him if he had the money.

Even one time, on Valentine’s day, Friday. The couple went to an arcade. Filled by endless machines of toys and some of the visitors gasping seeing Jason, the second adoptive child of Bruce Wayne who randomly came into an arcade with a red hoodie and army colored pants. While Y/N, his boyfriend, wearing a white shirt, gray pants and some accessories of course Jason brought for him. And their height difference is quite surprising side by side, but to those aside. Both men were having fun playing some games. Even getting two huge bear plushies, one with black hair with a streak of white while the other is just Y/N’s hair color. They’ll walk together around the mall while again, people looking at them. Jason held the teddies even after Y/N offered to carry them. This sight obviously made Y/N worried.

“I don’t want you to carry them… people might thought I’m a gold digger!” Y/N exclaimed with his voice barely a whisper. Looking at Jason who just smirked.

“Oh c’mon babe, out of everything you worried about that? You’re such an overthinker, my handsomely cute overthinker.” Jason teased, which made Y/N blushed, but before he could continue. Jason added. “How about dinner? It’s on me.”

At the end, they were eating in a fancy restaurant. Seriously! This man needs to stop, but who would? His family already told him to but it. It didn’t worked, never worked actually. He would literally use the whole universe’s money to spoil his boyfriend, honestly. He doesn’t care.

“Ah, babe… I have a surprise for you.” Jason broke the silence between them with a smirk, oh boy. Y/N could feel something could go wrong.

“And what would it be?” He asked, pausing cutting his steak mid-air, he raised an eyebrow with suspicion. But before a word came out, Jason pushed a small red box to the table. Y/N heart stopped for a split second.

With trembling hands, Y/N slowly opened the box, his face immediately flushed red. Not from embarrassment or his anxiety, he covered his face while the diamond on the ring shined brightly. Blinding his eyes from years of love.

“Y’know, people said Valentine’s day is a special day for love. So; would you marry me, Y/N L/N?” Jason proposed.

Y/N swallowed a lump of his throat, peaking between his fingers, he said a silent—yes. Thought Jason could hear it. Why not tease him?

“What’s that? C’mon darling. Say it louder~”

“You damn bastard… I said yes!!”

Well, since Jason booked the restaurant exclusively for them two, the staff from the distance cried while quietly clapping their hands, Jason rose from his seat. Placing his hand on the back of Y/N head, of course he hesitated for a moment, but soon stood up. Jason then captured his lips to a deep kiss, while his arm around the other male’s waist. Refusing to let go of the kiss. It felt… magical and intimate. Very, honestly. Even after the many moments they have kissed, But eventually, their lips parted, Jason rest his head against Y/N’s forehead, his face slightly flushed while Y/N is basically red as an tomato.

“I love you so much, Y/N Todd.”

“I…I love you too, Todd.”

And the night after the date? Is just filled by endless love making inside of Jason’s apartment.

We all agree that next chapter comes out n MC must ask if the kid saw anyone opening the ark of covenant right? That they should be responsible adult and do something about it? Maybe look inside it just to make sure?

I heard a lot of theories about Minhyeok being like a fragment of God bc God wanted to always be near Solomon/Solomons descendants and stuff. Love the theory 100/100 kind of theory, love it.

But what they gonna do with the kid? Does the kid require devil energy? If not is there a substitute devils didn't know/didn't tell MC about? What if the kid is an angel in disguise? What if the kid doesn't understand devils language, or any beside Korean, so now MC needs to be translator for the kid? Sure devils can understand any language, but kid doesn't, so we should help him. I feel like they should go on shopping spree for kids clothing and stuff.

I just imagine a situation where they take the kid in until they figure out what to do and MC picks the kid up and just walks with him on their back. Kid is tired, if anyone in the party whines about it we should tell them off and to go pester Valefor for help. There's so many possibilities for cute dynamics and comedic situations!!!! Arghhh why the next chapter so far awayyyyyy.

Wait if the kid is Minhyeok how can we get human energy? Are we asking Minsyeok next? Find an alternative, that's for sure. What are the chances that when we see Solomon again, he just pops confetti at us with "Congrats on the kid!"? Pls it would be so funny. Grandpa is always happy seeing his grandkids no matter what generation.

The devils are fighting for MCs attention already, and then they see just some child getting all of it will probably feel like torture. But also consider! MC is a good(ish) parent to that random kid - means they'll be a good parent for the devils n their own kid. If we meet Asmo while this arc happening, H scene will be like 5 episodes, I'm sure of it.

MC humming a tune they heard from Mom Kim to the kid in the dead of night to lull him to sleep, bc nightmares with angels r horrible, n now they have to live with knowledge there's Foras humming the same tune when they're alone. I swear it feels like he's taunting us even tho he just thought it was cute. I just realized that Glasyabolas probably will tease the kid so much.

I'm sure Bimet might give the kid his phone, so he plays games while waiting for MC to be done with errands. Mini Minhyeok hiding behind Valefor every time he hears Glasyabolas or Orias coming closer awwwww. I think Barbatos probably knows how to make flower crowns and teaches him how to make it, too. Levi is conflicted, but he doesn't hang a child if he comes into his office without asking. Gamigin n kid playing tag before Gamigin trips over himself, getting laughed at, or worse, pitied by the child.

Kid napping in MC bed bc comfort and now MC has new phone wallpapers.

Omg the moment this thing is known all of hell is just "CHILD OF SOLOMON HAS A KID???" Oh, Lilith, the online forums about to come to life just to argue. MC gets phone call after phone call from devils they already met and a few more who just learned that. MC gets a headache, mini Minhyeok shows the drawing he was doing for the last 15 minutes while they were on a phone call and it's just him MC n maybe Solomon in the background with shitily spelt "grandpa" in korean. Cuteness aggression will kill me, I swear.

Imagine Orias attempting to draw shit like this to win a few affection points from MC n IT WORKS?? MC fawns over it and pets him on the head bc they think its cute no matter what he drew? Funnier if not and MC just stares at him like he's weird (he is). Still accept the drawing tho.

I agree completely with ur analyses, the only thing I think might disagree on is parentification. I think Dick is parentified even if he doesn't see it that way. Bruce was supposed to be his parent but he was never emotionally mature to handle a child who just lost his parents and instead mate Dick be his emotional support

The comic can be read in that way because Dick sacrificed his life for Bruce who should be saving Dick but he doesn't do that. Dick is his emotional support but in this comic this is represented through Dick being his physical support who never looks after himself only Bruce, who only response is thanks after everything he went through for Bruce. He'll always he they're for Bruce but it's entirely one sided and that's what makes it so sad

Did you happen to read the other post that I linked...? About why I prefer it as a metaphor for codependence over parentification? Here it is again just in case, because I believe it addresses everything you're bringing up.

But just to reiterate: Bruce does not make Dick do anything in this comic. In fact he actively tries to prevent Dick from helping him inasmuch as he's able to because he knows it would be dangerous for him. Imo this is why it doesn't work as a metaphor for parentification, because that would rely on Bruce having an expectation or at least passive acceptance of Dick's support that just isn't present. He tries to send Dick away to protect him even when he can barely breathe. What Bruce wants explicitly does not matter to Dick in this comic.

Like... I'm genuinely not sure where you get the whole "Bruce should be saving Dick" thing from, at no point does the comic make that kind of parallel or reference that at all. Dick is an adult in this comic. Even the metaphor of the blood transfusion - he takes half of Bruce's blood and gives half of his own, taking half of his burden, and he survives it because he ISN'T a child and he IS capable of supporting Bruce as a fellow adult.

I also really don't think the point was that it's one-sided. I understand why it might come across that way, but I think the point was to give Dick all of the power in this situation, and render Bruce helpless. It's a reversal of the classic "Boy Hostage" scenario. Because you see, Bruce used to do exactly that kind of thing to save Dick all the time without even blinking back when he was Robin. I think this comic expects the reader to have that historical context.

every day i wish there had been a better solution for the qin su marriage problem.

in my fix-it fics i either have some other sect leader claim that he was actually madly in love with her this whole time and sweep her away for jgy's sake, have her mom confess earlier, make jgy decide to tell her for her own good and have them work together, or not give them a chance to meet and fall in love in the first place (i guess i could also make qin su have a miscarriage, but that's really sad and awful and not my preferred option at all), but all of those require tweaks to the circumstances, sometimes early on so they don't meet or jgy feels safe enough to talk with her or another confidant, or sometimes later like madam qin finding out they're pregnant before the marriage prep is too far along and telling one or both of them right away so they can make other arrangements.

with the situation being what it was, jgy didn't find out soon enough to do anything that wouldn't involve either marrying her anyway (and he didn't think telling her about it would do anything except make her upset and depressed) or leaving her essentially a ruined woman with no prospects and an illegitimate child who would inevitably grow up fatherless, which is pretty much exactly what his dad did to meng shi. this would be a crueler option than pretty much anything else, and given that he clearly still cares about her, he couldn't do that in good conscience. jgy tries his best to protect the people he loves, unless there is literally no other way for him to survive.

it's one more example of jgy being faced with a situation where the only choices are bad ones, and making the decision that he thinks will hurt the fewest number of people. metatextually, it's one more example of women in fiction being shoved aside and not given agency in their own lives, and getting killed off instead of surviving and growing as people like the male characters are allowed to do. it's just a tragic situation all around and i wish there had been something they could have done.

Seriously how can M*r*uders stans like random Slytherins (who tf are Evan Rosier, Pandora (is that Luna's mum and why tf is she Evan Rosier's twin in half of these), and I don't even want to discuss Regulus) and make them Actually Misunderstood Good People Who Were Forced Down That Path when at least one of them *coughreguluscough* was obsessed with Voldemort

And then turn around and make Snape an awful person?

the pros of going to my grandmothers funeral/celebration of life tomorrow: closure or whatever. i dont really know ive only been to two funerals in my whole life and i dont fully get what im suppsed to feel and do there

the cons: i dont talk to literally anyone on my moms side of the family. i could follow my brother around but he's gonna be mostly around my mom, who i do not talk to for a thousand reasons. and my ex-neighbors who are very openly transphobic to me will be around her. and no one on her side of the family really Gets that im trans either so like it just all sucks. i will surely get emotional because y'know, and that means that i will be emotional in front of my mom, which is bad for me. all my cousins are weird around me because we were close as kids but now no one knows how to approach me because ive only gotten more awkward and more unable to verbally speak
