[Areumdaun! cheongchunui Han jang~] The loud singing appeared from the darkness of the bedroom. Her alarm ringing.

[“Oh gosh! That scared me” Narae exclaimed.

“Is that your alarm?” asked Code Kunst.

“Yes it is,” Jangmi sheepishly answered, “I want to wake up right away, so I used a loud song”

“Do you like Day6?” Key asked.

“Yes. I’m a big fan of them.”]

“Dolce-ah~, Latte-ah~” A voice from underneath the pile of blankets called out. The pitter-pattering of footsteps was heard before her bedroom door opened, revealing her beloved babies. Hopping on the bed, they are quick to the awaiting arms of Jangmi.

[“So cute.” Key exclaimed.]

Sitting up and stretching, Jangmi got out of bed and exited her bedroom; finally showing the world her bare, morning face. Rubbing her eyes, and covering her yawn, she goes to the kitchen to feed her darling babies.

[“Wow! You look so pretty in the morning.”

“That’s what you look like without makeup?”]

Feeding her dogs, she walked back to her bedroom to freshen up. The sound of water pouring and music starts to drift out of her room. Meanwhile her dogs have just finished eating when the sound of the front door being unlocked caught their attention.

[“Who is it? Who’s there?” Narae asked.”]

The camera panned and showed two males coming in, face covered by a question mark, each holding a paper bag filled with flowers. Dolce and Latte went to guard her bedroom door, sitting in front of it. “Dolce-ah~, Latte-ah~” the mysterious figure cooed. “Are you doing a good job of protecting our princess?”

The question mark is lifted off their faces, revealing Jin-young and Tae-young of FATE.

[“Ah, It’s her older brothers” a collective sound of understanding was heard around the studio]

[“Hello~” Jangmi bowed, sitting behind her on her couch was Wilson the bear, sad idly. “Today, I have a free day from work, so I am spending with my older brothers.”]

Getting right to work, Jin-young and Tae-young placed the flowers on the table. A cake was pulled out from one of the bags and placed on the table. Setting up the cake and flowers as quickly as they could, they fashioned the flowers prettily.

[“Hello,” both Jin-young and Tae-young bowed in greeting.

‘Why are you setting up the table with all those flowers?’

“We couldn’t celebrate the release of her newest album when it came out, so we decided to surprise her today.” Jin-young explained, gesturing with his hands.

‘Were you nervous that she would be outside? You guys looked worried when coming in.’

“It wasn’t that we were nervous, but we just wanted to make sure Dolce and Latte wouldn’t bark.” Tae-young answered.]

[“My siblings wouldn't do this for me”]

Hearing the door open, they both got ready to surprise Jangmi. Stepping outside, Jangmi wasn’t prepared to see her brothers in her dining room; holding big bouquets of roses and carnations in different shades of pink and red.

“Hwa-young-ah~ Congratulations!” Both Jin-young and Tae-young shouted.

“Oppa! What are all these?” Jangmi asked, as she was led towards her dining table.

“To celebrate your new album,” Jin-young replied, patting her head. Looking up at both her older brothers, eyes twinkling in appreciation, she hugged both of them. “Jin-oppa, Tae-oppa, Thank you very much. I really love it.”

[“Wow, is this how you guys really are?” Key asked.

“You aren’t faking it for the camera?” Kian84 questioned

“The three of us are really this close. Even from a young age we were always close with each other.” Jangmi replied]

They all sat down and enjoyed the cake, which was strawberry short-cake, her favorite.

Sitting in the passenger seat of Jin-young’s car, Jangmi played around with the music, finally settling on Day6. “Aish, you and your love of Day6” Tae-young said, rolling his eyes. Turning around, she pokes him. “You can’t say anything you shawol.”

“But I can say something,” Jin-young pipes up, keeping his eyes on the road. This causes both Jangmi and Tae-young to look at him. “I’m friends with both of them, it feels weird when you keep gushing about how cool they are.”

“Yes, yes,” Jangmi and Tae-young replied at the sametime, looking at each other.

[“Oh, Tae-young is a fan of Shinee?” Hyunmoo asks

“Yes he is.”]

Arriving at the restaurant, they all got out of the car. “Jin-oppa! Tell Tae-oppa to stop poking me.” Jangmi clinged to Jin-young. Internally sighing, he told Tae-young to stop bothering Jangmi.

“Hyung~, she kept bothering me first.” Tae-young retaliated, clinging to Jin-young’s other arm. Not being able to hold back, he let out a long, exasperated sigh. “Both of you, stop annoying each other please. If you keep at it, I will go to the restaurant and leave you here until you both promise to stop annoying each other.”

“Yes.” Both of them promised.

[“It looked like kids being scolded by their mom.” Kian84 commented.]

Inside, once seated, they started to look at the menu. Calling the waiter, Jin-young starts ordering. Soon the food starts arriving; both Jin-young and Tae-young start grilling the pork bellies and pork loin. When the stew arrived, Jangmi portioned it into bowls and gave her older brothers their stew. Before giving some pork belly to Jangmi, Tae-young cuts the fat off and gives her a plateful of pork belly.

[“Eh! Why is he cutting the fat off?“ Narea asked.

“That’s the best part of pork belly.” Hyunmoo sighed.

“Actually, if I eat too much pork fat, my tummy ends up feeling sick.” Jangmi explained.

“Really?” Narae asked, surprised, “How much can you eat then?”

“Last time, one, two slices before my stomach hurt.” Jangmi gestured.

“Wow, I can’t imagine that.” Hyunmoo said, shaking his head.]

When they were all finished with their meal, Jin-young went to pay, whilst Jangmi and Tae-young shared looks at each other. When Jin-young returned, he was met with a gleeful looking Jangmi and Tae-young, holding a paper bag and box respectively. “Oppa/Hyung, since you’ve always taken such great care of us, we wanted to appreciate our thanks.”

Receiving the gifts with thankfulness, he opens them. In the paper bag were films for a film camera; and in the box was a Canon AE-1. placing the gifts down, he gave hugs to his younger siblings. “Thank you so much guys.”

Jangmi, not wanting Tae-young to feel left out, had prepared a gift for him. “Tae-oppa, I have something for you too.” She hands him the paper bag. Inside was the book he had been meaning to find. Grateful he hugs his little sister.

[“Today, although it started unexpectedly, I had a great time hanging out with my older brothers. It was nice to be with my family again, especially since our parents live far from us.” Jangmi expressed. “Even with our busy schedules, we always like to spend some time hanging out, catching up. I had a really great day. Jin-oppa, Tae-oppa, I love you.”]

[“It was fun hanging out with our younger sister again after a while. Since we are all idols, it’s sometimes hard to even talk with each other if not by calling. So we are thankful to be able to have fun with her today. Hwa-young-ah we love you.”]

Danny is currently in possession of a baby Damian. He is unaware that he is in possession of Damian Wayne let alone how he came to be in the possession of Damian Wayne. All he knows is that the bats are after him and won't leave him alone.

Sorry for not having a Year of the Dragon MDZS artwork; Unfortunately, I can only picture Dragon LWJ in this particular flavour.

megan thee stallion is the perfect example of unbothered energy. nicki has repeatedly vagueposted about her, gone on unhinged rants about her, gone so far as to mention her dead mother (such a classless low blow), threatened her on live, and has now released the tackiest diss track in history. and what has megan done? literally nothing. she straight up ignored her, aside from that one ig story where she posted herself laughing (which was perfect btw). she is the epitome of “i will not dignify that w a response.” i love it.

lonely

[ID: A limited palette of green and pink, Vashwood comic. The first page serves as a prologue. The first panel shows Vash speaking to someone off screen while Wolfwood is lingering behind him. A black arrow is drawn pointing at him. In the second panel, Vash is buying donuts in the distance while Wolfwood is once again in view, lingering. and the black arrow is drawn pointing at him. In the third panel, Vash is leaving a cubicle and turning towards his right with a slightly peeved expression. He sees Wolfwood, leaning against the cubicle, waiting for him, and with the black arrow drawn, pointing at him, implicating the consistent hovering of Wolfwood’s presence during Vash’s everyday. At the bottom of the page, they’re drawn out of panel with Vash turning to Wolfwood and saying with an irritated expression, “You’re really following me everywhere, huh?” Wolfwood responds, “What, you got a problem?” Vash responds without hesitation, “Yeah, kinda...”

The second page starts with a new day. In the first panel, Vash is seen alone, weighing apples in his hands at a mart, with crowds passing behind him. In the second panel, he turns to his right and starts to say, “Hey, Wolfwood...” In the third panel, he’s startled from seeing a stranger, whom he’d accidentally called out to when he was expecting to see Wolfwood. He says, “Oh, you’re not him. Sorry!” In the fourth panel, the stranger walks off and Vash muses, “Right, he said he had something to do today...”

The third page begins with a close up of Vash's miffed expression, the continuation of Vash's thoughts, "Now that he's not here, this is just like how I used to be, but... It feels lonely somehow. Oh well, I'll see him again tonight, like always." In the second panel, it shows Vash walking through the marketplace crowd, alone. In the third panel, the door panel is a close up of the door opening with a peek of Vash's head. He says, "Wolfwood!" In the fourth panel, Vash is holding a bag of food with a bright smile and says, "Are you hungry? I got you something to eat today!"

The fourth page begins with a shot of the room, two beds being highlighted, one of them being made properly with the blanket draped over the bed and the other with the blanket folded and pillow sitting on top of it. There's no sign of Wolfwood. The second panel shows Vash with a disappointed look as he thinks, "He's still not here?" The third panel shows Vash putting the bag of food on the table. Stapled to the paper bag is the receipt with a written note "For Wolfwood." Vash's thoughts continue "He does like to stay out so, I guess there's no reason to worry..." The fourth panel shows Vash sitting his bed somberly with his thoughts continued, "It's not any of my business anyway..."

The fifth page starts with a close up his blank expression as he looks downwards, thinking, "Even if he left completely... That'd be understandable and better for him. I'll just travel alone again... like before... Huh?" The next panel shows Vash's composure break, tears welling up in his eyes suddenly, as he didn't expect to cry. He starts to sob, putting his hands to his face to quiet himself and wipe at his tears, as he says, "Ugh... Dammit... I miss h..." The last panel shows Vash leaning over into his hands, still crying, and in the back, the door swings wide open with a bam as Wolfwood walks through with the punisher swung behind him. He shouts, "SPIKEY! You in here?!"

The sixth page starts with Wolfwood confused, looking at Vash and Vash looks back, just as confused, with tears in his eyes and snot out of his nose. Wolfwood starts saying, "Ah? You..." No longer in panels, at the bottom of the page, Wolfwood takes the Punisher off of himself and starts to walk towards Vash, continuing with slight concern, "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Vash, hurriedly begins to wipe at his tears, denying immediately, "No! No, I'm fine! Nothing happened!"

The seventh page, Vash points towards the table, with a hand still wiping at his tears and he smiles as he says, "I uh got you food. On the table." Wolfwood looks towards to the table and responds, "Oh. I was getting hungry, thanks." He turns his head back to Vash immediately after with an uncertain expression, knowing the other wasn't responding to his concern, and says, "But, I know you're an idiot with this stuff, so I'm reminding you again. Don't brush it off if it's an issue, alright?"

The eight page, Vash's tears have dried and he looks to Wolfwood with a soft smile and responds, "Yeah. It's okay though..." A panel at the center shows a side view of Vash approaching Wolfwood. At the bottom of the page, with no panel, is a close up shot of Vash's hand, holding onto the edge of Wolfwood's jacket sleeve, as he says, "Because you're here now. Wolfwood."

The final page is a back shot of both of them standing next to each other, Wolfwood's head tilted slightly to the left, not fully believing Vash as he says, "That doesn't answer anything, Spikey." Vash responds, "There's no need to talk about it! You should enjoy your food. Let's have a drink too?" Wolfwood responds, "Tsk, tsk. Fine, yeah. I could use one." END ID]

MEET DOG & DAD!

[welcometogrouchland]

It's mostly the fault of poor editorial practices that B&R is so heavily misaligned continuity-wise w/ the main batman book. But walk with me for a minute:

You are Damian Wayne. You are 14 years old and have had one of the worst years of your life last year. Which is saying a lot.

Your brother, one of the people you were closest to, got shot in the head and forgot who you were. Your best friend went to space for a week and came back 3/4 years older than you, taking away your previously established dynamic and leaving you to have to bond all over again w/ a new one. You may or may not have gone wayyy too far with your new superhero team, who now all hate you, because you fucked up big time*

And worst of all, when you do try to do the right thing, you end up forced to watch Alfred, a father figure to you, the only one at your birthday that year, the person who has been so patient, loving and trusting with you, even when you probably didnt deserve it...die. you watch him die, and feel it's all your fault.

And your dad never corrects you on that last point. So you run away.

First to your mom who can tell something's up with you, she knows you don't give up that easy, you decide not to stay with her because you remembered how actually, neither of your parents are good at communicating with you despite their best efforts, so now you're 14 and flying solo.

And you do fly solo. For a while. Make new friends, new enemies. You think you're better off for it. You've got your best friend and your brother back. They're not around as much. It's fine.

And eventually your dad tells you that it's not your fault that Alfred died. Bit late but it's appreciated. Really. There's a bit of a hiccup where you get possessed by a demon and wage war against your father but after that, all in all, you two are...together again.

You start to think maybe you want to give him another chance, for the two of you to be father and son.

And in a change of pace, it works out! It's going good, mostly. He insists you go to highschool, you resist, feel like he wants you to be something that you're not (wants you to be normal), but eventually you acquiesce for your own reasons. He cheers you on at soccer and nosies around at your fundraising events with the other parents and gives you a stern talking to about your choice of girlfriend. Because he cares.

Except all the while this is going on, your dad is currently having his brain slowly taken over by an evil version of himself that he created and every time you look away he's slowly tearing your family apart (your brothers are just barely keeping it together. The ones who didn't get lobotmized that is Jesus Christ). You keep taking his side in these conflicts, for whatever reason. Maybe because he promised it would be different this time, and it isn't** and you're going to stick with him until he keeps his word for once.

But at the end of the day?

It's like your brother says. You're not the one who saves him. Broadly speaking, you've made things worse and needed others to come save you. And what else is Robin really for? You thought it was about redemption and teamwork but guess you're wrong. It's about saving your self destructive, apparently two-faced and erratic father. And you can't even do that right.

* TT (2016) by Adam Glass is a racist ooc mess, but unfortunately it's still canon so I'm referencing here, though like a lot of works authors clearly wish weren't canon but are, it's been subsequently glossed over. Win? Maybe? Or not?

** again Zdarky's characterization of Damian is so outdated as to be ooc, and considering the way he constantly and explicitly uses it to illustrate Tim's strengths as robin, I'd argue there's. Also implications there. But the batshit insanity of the main batbook compared to B&R rn is crucial for this post, so I'm attempting to justify it. This time..

[ cw: violence mention / death mention / ]

Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

[burst-of-iridescent]

not to beat the "sokka's misogyny" disk horse even further into the ground, but while i agree with the take that sokka being sexist logically doesn't make sense, i would go further to say that the water tribes themselves being sexist is both illogical and thematically contradictory.

the flaws of each nation in atla have always been linked to their element, and specifically what those elements represent. fire is the element of power; power, left unchecked, leads to imperialism and authoritarianism. earth is the element of substance and stability; stability, prioritized too highly, creates and justifies the rigid class system and rampant corruption of ba sing se. air is the element of freedom; freedom, taken too far, becomes irresponsibility and abandonment.

meanwhile, water is the element of change... therefore the water tribes cling to antiquated ideas about gender roles instead of adapting with the times (especially when the times involve a fucking war going on).

not only is this unrealistic, it also breaks the thematic pattern of the nations' flaws being virtues taken to extremes, and how this dovetails into the show's overall message about the importance of balance. if we're keeping with the pattern of virtue and vice being two sides of the same coin, then the flaw of the water tribes has to be related to change. and here is where some of the (badly executed) ideas in the comics and legend of korra could have come into play: change, left uncontrolled, can lead to progress... but at the cost of tradition and spirituality.

(imagine a nwt cut off from the world and forced to rely solely on itself, ingenuity and creativity flourishing out of sheer, desperate need. imagine a nwt where waterbending is nothing more than a tool, used to build and defend and maintain a fortress always at risk, its spiritual origins slowly lost to time. imagine a nwt more military than community, whose architecture and technology far exceed anything the world has ever seen, who look down upon their less advanced sister tribe, and see no need for the avatar - after all, where was he when they had no one but themselves for the last 100 years?

when warned that the fire nation is coming, they show no fear; they have held strong on their own for the last century, bolstered by their weapons and wits, and will continue to do so. you need the spirits, aang implores, and is met with derision, for there is no place for spirits in a society always chasing more, greater, better. the spirits have not helped us before, avatar. why would they now? we are all we need.

when the moon spirit falls, unprotected and forgotten in an abandoned, rundown spirit oasis - so do they.)

not only would this fit better thematically, it would also ensure that the nwt's flaw plays a role in its own downfall. where the fire nation's warmongering resulted in the poverty and suffering of its own people, and the earth kingdom's corruption led - at least in part - to the fall of ba sing se, the misogyny of the water tribes is never shown to negatively impact them in any way. the north isn't defeated by the fire nation because they relegated half the population to healing. the south doesn't suffer raids or lose their waterbenders because they (supposedly) didn't let women fight. this lack of narrative punishment means that - outside of a few girlboss moments for katara - the sexism of the nwt isn't significant to the overall story whatsoever.

furthermore, while the ba sing se arc last almosts half a season, and the fire nation's actions drive the entire show, this supposed systemic oppression of women shows up for one episode in the first season before disappearing entirely. pakku is reminded of his lost love, magically turns into a feminist, and somehow the entire tribe follows suit? no one else protests, not even the other students or the chief?

and yet, though there are still no female waterbenders other than katara, or agency for kanna in her relationship, or any indication that women stopped being forcibly betrothed - the entire issue is simply swept under the rug and never brought up ever again in the show. i understand this was a children's cartoon made in 2005, and that even having female characters openly speak about and challenge misogyny was a radical feat for the time and genre, but the reality of patriarchy is that it's structural, sustained and immensely difficult to resist - if the show was going to depict that resistance, it should have done so with greater depth and nuance, as it did for many of the other difficult topics it tackled.

ultimately, handwaving misogyny away like it never existed is far more disrespectful to katara's character, her fight against injustice, and the girls who saw themselves in her, than simply toning it down or removing it could ever be.
