Batman: The Knight is good but in my heart I know that Bruce Wayne was all of about 14 years old when he went off on his world training adventure.
Because if Bruce was running around chasing dangerous and morally dubious people before his voice even dropped, begging them to teach him, it makes a lot more sense why he’d see a grieving, angry little Dick Grayson years later and think yes, the ethical and normal thing to do here is to teach the boy to fight myself and give him his own costume.
#Bruce would’ve been an extremely bright little boy far in advance from his peers#that in addition to grief mental illness and neurodivergency would’ve heavily isolated him#his ‘middle school years’ were probably miserable is what I’m saying#bad enough that when he tells Alfred he’s leaving Gotham to go to school in Europe he believes him#only for Alfrd to get a letter months later explaining that actually Bruce is somewhere in Korea now and not to come looking because#if he’s exposed Bruce will lose his head before Alfred is even close to getting him back#Batman#Bruce Wayne#headcanon#not really

IT DOESNT MATTER!!! i want them to hug#but then i think abt it and i dont know how to draw hugs. does it matter? NO!! you can tell what it is . good enough#anyways tagging w ayin is always weird because its not QUITE him (from my understanding im not even done im on day 47(pain))#its a mix of consciousness between a blank slate who processes and feels things in a similar manner but then memories put onto him that --#-- logically are his but even then theyre seperate entetied in a way even still (angela noted this in one of the days cant remember which)#so its like.... x and a put into one . i thinkk where its going w it is that each are different aspects ended up experiencing and processin#this grief and hopelessness in different ways? and then ending up being assigned a name as a reflection of different aspects born of the --#-- character that was the entirety of 'ayin'. different aspects isolated via extreme measures when they are ALL ayin just... yknow extremes#FROM MY UNDERSTANDING DONT CORRECT ME IM NOT DONE!!!

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

PW:AA Spoilers (1-4)!
one of my favorite things about miles edgeworth is how profoundly human he is. we're led to believe he's abandoned all morals leading up to 1-3. then, his interference gets your client a not guilty verdict and you start thinking there's some good left in him. come 1-4, his facade slips and you glimpse upon how caring he truly is, what with him trying to keep phoenix out of dl-6 (and, as a consequence, away from defending him) + paying maya's bail after she's held in contempt of court.
he subverts every expectation you have about someone who falls under his character archetype. i was especially moved by his dialogue in the detention center.
exhibit A:
Phoenix: Can I ask you about the murder? Edgeworth: Wright. I'll ask you again, just leave me alone. Phoenix: ... Edgeworth: Please try to understand. I'm not doing this to prove I'm tough, or because I look down on you. I just don't want you anywhere near this case. Understand?
exhibit B:
Phoenix: Edgeworth? Edgeworth: It's only been a matter of hours since you last visited. Yet you've made incredible progress in your investigation. I'll admit it, I'm impressed, Wright. You were always single-minded in your work, though. Once you start on something, you always see it through, don't you? Phoenix: About the "DL-6 Incident"... Edgeworth: Right... DL-6. I didn't want you to find out about it. That is why I refused your offer to defend me. I'm sorry if it sounded like I thought you weren't up to the job. I just wanted to keep you away from DL-6.
he's quick to reassure phoenix that this isn't about pride or faith in phoenix's capabilities, though he'd used petty insults to ward phoenix off earlier.
i'm of the (unpopular?) opinion that of phoenix and edgeworth, edgeworth is a far warmer person. it's why i can't quite buy yamazaki's edgeworth in most cases, but that's a topic for a different post i already have drafted.
this also isn't meant to undermine the gravity of edgeworth's mistakes as the "demon prosecutor". it's very likely he put away innocents while burying his past. i do strongly believe the first game (and every game in the first trilogy, really) rounds the characters in a way the second trilogy often couldn't, though, and it's that charm that makes the first trilogy feel timeless.
#`ace attorney#miles edgeworth#phoenix wright#vel talks ace attorney#pumped this out bc of my reply on a random tweet lmao the brainworms are worming#when i say 'warmer' i don't necessarily mean 'warmest' or 'kindest' or 'always a pleasant person to be around' bc he's still very mean!#anyhow the reason you'll rarely see me analyzing edgeworth in isolation is bc his character story genuinely makes me breathless with grief#i'll have more to say abt this on replay but i'm excited to replay aa1-aa3 retrospectively#ace attorney spoilers#aa1 spoilers

one of the things mourn watch rook has the most comments about/seems pretty knowledgeable about when they're there is the way the necropolis will just shuffle rooms around every now and then on a whim, so I'm headcanoning that rye's previous area of expertise, outside of general watcher duties, was keeping track of and rediscovering these lost or displaced areas. that, and basically acting as a sort of tour guide when need be, such as on the day they met varric.
'have we really misplaced the ashen cathedral again? *sigh* that's the third time this year, we really must strengthen the wards. oh well. someone send for ingellvar, they'll track it down in no time I'm sure. and it might keep them out of trouble for a while'
#rye's mourn watch dwarf father figure was responsible for maintaining and securing the buildings and structures of the necropolis#not quite in the top leadership of the construction side of the watchers but pretty high up there#so it makes a lot of sense to me that way too they've been to more sections of the necropolis than even most watchers go#and know the buildings and structures very well#rye would just like. set out alone for a week track down a missing mausoleum and nod in satisfaction as he updated the maps haha#this instinct for isolation and disappearing into the immense ancient silence shared only by the dead and the weight of his own grief#had no long term effects on his psychological development. of course. literally don't even worry about it he's fine :)#'I go on short hectic jaunts into the world of the living. and then I come back here and it's quiet once it becomes too much to bear#I think that's what they call work life balance or something' (it's not)#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar

Garth is really one of the only characters ever. He has suffered immensely due to people thinking his eye color was a curse. He was scared of schools of fish until Aquaman got him past his fear and then adopted him. He's had amnesia more than once. He once got killed by a group of beautiful women against a rock and then got taken in by Aquamans dad and taught magic for the equivalent of 5 years. He kissed a girl and immediately swam away from her because he was too awkward and sad over his girlfriends death. Aforementioned both girls have come back to haunt him and also try to kill him. He didn't have a name until he was in the teen titans, he was just aqualad. He has amazing diplomacy skills. He can shoot magic from his eyes. He sometimes sleeps in the teen titans dock completely naked. He named his child after a city. Said child is so inconsistent with gender that comics from different eras pick different genders for them. He cares so deeply about his friends that when he retires he has a ton of pictures of them together and his granddaughter is named after Donna. He has at least 4 different versions of his backstory (thanks DC). He is somehow very relaxed when tortured in space. He's afraid of going into space (related to the prior point). He had to be the one to make himself and Aquaman a home and Aquaman thought he was going to kill him during this. He's been mind controlled multiple times. He's kind of bisexual with it. His costume for years was made partially from bedsheets that he took to cover himself when his girlfriend and the lady that was part of the group of people who killed him that one time were arguing and he wanted no part in it. He has so much trauma that he is scared to get near people because everyone he loves dies. He has such a massive heart and is easily one of the kindest members of the titans. When attending a funeral, he just wore a suit jacket over top his costume because why would he have a suit? He dehydrates super easy on land and one time, Aquaman milked a cow straight into his mouth to make sure he wouldn't dehydrate. He has a near encyclopedic knowledge of fish. His father loves him so much.
#twist rambles#sorry im nearly done w his chrono and aughhhh garth of shayeris i love u#i could go on forever i love him so so much#like I just aughhhh hes so good... and hes so flopppp i love u autistic atlantean!!! im forever haunted by the one issue exploring his grief#like oh ok the silly and cheerful kid that Arthur raised has become deeply depressed and self isolating. and not to even get into how he#tied into the rest of the titans dynamic wise. augh.

so im on s5 of miraculous and i keep thinking about cat noirs whole “kept at a distance” arc bc it’s genuinely really interesting but gets so wasted by always winding up with him basically validating ladybugs nonsensical decisions and treatment—the same treatment that we were already shown upset him enough to destroy public properly about it. the most consistent reason LB ever gives cat about why he can’t be fully trusted or relied on is that he’s too much of a liability for their partnership to work—either because he’s too reckless, too in love with her, or his cataclysm would be too dangerous to use.
whatever it is, the baseline is that she thinks he’s a liability, and obviously that’s like salt in the wound for cat since he genuinely loves her and enjoys being partners with her, but it’s also just sad to see him continue to respect her decision and act like it isn’t a problem for him when he’s literally upset enough to physically lash out and use his powers to do so. and I know a lot of it can probably be explained by ladybug’s experience in the cat blanc timeline, but 1) she starts holding him at a distance way before that even happens, 2) she’s actively making it worse by not telling cat noir about cat blanc and why she thinks she has to exclude him for his own safety, and 3) SHE SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM ABOUT CAT BLANC TO BEGIN WITH BECAUSE IT’S LITERALLY A WORLD ENDING SITUATION INVOLVING HIM DIRECTLY‼️‼️‼️‼️
instead she just allows him think he’s unwanted and unnecessary, calls the shots on how he should feel about “having more free time” and ironically makes him even more susceptible to being Akumatized because of it. ladybug might not be aware that cat is adrien and has a terrible home life he actively uses his miraculous to escape from, but she’s playing right into all the key aspects that adrien resents from his father; she decides what he wants without considering or asking him, she trusts him conditionally and still distances herself enough for him to just not know certain things. it’s done with good intentions, but it still clearly affects adrien very poorly, and it’s just such a frustrating glass-chewing miscommunication that only needlessly complicates the situation
don’t even get me started on Kuro Neko where ladybug falls head over heels for the changed version of her partner and narrowly avoiding her having to actually screw up and learn a lesson about accepting cat for who he actually is because catwalker is just “too perfect” for her to function—instead of being an obedient idealized version of her best friend who lets her be in control of everything (WHEN ADRIEN LITERALLY USES HIS DOUBLE LIFE TO HAVE THE CONTROL HE DOESN’T GET AT HOME).
theres so much potential for the base concept of the miraculous of destruction and its Kwami/holder being distrusted outliers among the rest of the Kwami/holders, but the magic system sucks and it kind of loses any chance when the other Kwamis are established to be catastrophic if they use their powers without a holder. and it gets even more confusing if you consider that Fu specifically chose adrien to hold that miraculous, but then encourages Marinette to keep her distance from him and barely acknowledges him as a hero in general. Like why did you even bother testing adrien for his worthiness or whatever if you obviously don’t think he’s worthy of knowing anything about you or the rest of the miraculous OR his best friend’s identity??? but you’re totally okay with her just giving them out to anyone in Paris who’s conveniently around and having her know their identity???? master fu when I catch you master fu
auugghhhfgg I don’t know the magic system thing could be its own separate post but likeeeeee I just think the miraculous of destruction whos constantly mistrusted for no reason and goes Kamehameha Krazy in another timeline is very special and could be treated so much better if the writers were good at their job and didn’t make every character’s sole purpose be validating ladybug/marinette even when she’s in the wrong
#honestly he deserves to be a villain#at the very least an antihero. gotta push my antihero propaganda into everything I enjoy#like the same way Luka got Akumatized over his frustration with people keeping secrets#that should 100% happen to cat noir im so deadass#because like imagine if you found out your best friend saw an alternate timeline where you lost control and destroyed the city#and spent months completely isolated by what you did and slowly goinf crazy with grief and guilt and just wanting to fix it all#and she just doesnt tell you about it but she clearly sees you differently than she used to because of it#that is literally such juicy material for him to get Akumatized and yet.#Thomas Astruc you and I are public enemies now#cal.txt#miraculous ladybug#cat noir#adrien agreste#cat blanc#ladybug and chat noir#marinette dupain cheng#master fu#I need to fix this show I need to or I will also blow up Paris#I LOVE BEING AUTISTIC 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️

parents are funny the way they want you to be open and honest with them, supposedly, but when you are, it leads to some fucking confrontation that didn’t need to happen, and when that happens, it leads to something you weren’t ready to say coming out, then being coaxed out into a still very much controlled held-back version of describing your lifelong experience feeling shame for existing the way you do and not being “easy” or as good as like, your little sister, academically, or as capable of masking as anyone else, and THAT carefully worded recall of just the natural fucking feelings of growing up in a frankly abusive household, resulting in.. oh, sorry, YOUR FATHER crying as if he wasnt just trying to gaslight you into thinking he didnt tell you the other day to Improve Yourself As A Person (right before the conversation about his mother entering hospice so now guess who can’t fucking mourn without associating it with that!) and that he instead was saying Improve Your Situation
and then he like catches you like visibly dissociating, comments, you try and put it in very simple words what just happened (in the same manner you have pointed out every other little thing he does to invalidate your feelings, or as he’d put it, “your feelings” yes using air quotes) and he suddenly is a fucking Psychology Scholar And Didn’t Need You To Explain What The Defense Mechanism Even Was and oh then also admitting to doing harm in the past, saying he had apologized (wonder why i dont remember), your mother(actual psychology minor) getting all “i’m sorry you feel that way” and also after a long ass tangent about there being a difference between “shamed” and “ashamed” as if you didn’t mean the word you say, a thing you did make very clear, ONCE AGAIN FUCKING CRYING ABOUT YOU BEING OPEN AND HONEST FOR ONCE AND TELLING THEM THEY HURT YOU
#its been. a wild fucking semester so far#oh and then also my fucking brother saying it’s like he doesnt have a sibling and i dont give a shit Sooo Much that i made my father cry#respectfully i fucking held the thing that would actually ruin him back.#because i did a fucking interview with his mother years ago for a class#and she talked about the way her mother treated her#when he first found out i was like. violently depressed as a teen#he drew the mental parallel of his mother getting hospitalized#for shit her fuckinf mother caused.#he cannot comprehend the pain he causes.#by all means my morher can comprehend what she does. she just. does she give a shit actually? lol#i feel for him. right now. in his grief process#but the fucking audacity to see me exercising autonomy and telling them they fucking traumatized me basically#AND COLLECTIVELY CONTINUINF TO USE THE FUCKING ABUSE TACTICS#im sure he was crying genuinely. but if i cry it is never genuine to them it feels#so.#yeah.#i havent been on tumblr i had a experiment thing for a class on social media breaks even though. lol. mental health? isolation??#but like. i think just the process of realizing wwwwhy we are the way we are#so immensely fucked up#its been a lot#its just. fucking sad i got forced into THIS conversation prematurely#but my fucking bad for trusting my mother i guess#vent#vent tw#anyway i was gonna push therapy back a week but. oooooooooweeeeee

love the fact people on the island are finally starting to take notice of charlie slimecicle and his trauma and possible decline
hate the fact it took charlie slimecicle’s trauma to become unignorable physically evident for people to finally take notice of it and start to talk to him and worry about him
#did gegg teach them nothing#they just thought it was a haha heehoo silly plot to become president and not a horrifying and sad way to cope#there have been so many signs that charlie slimecicle is slowly deteriorating in his isolation and grief yet they do nothing but make jokes#please someone for the love of god help that man 🙏🙏🙏#charlie slimecicle#qsmp#qslimecicle

Self admitted Miguel girlie here sure, but I’m just. honestly floored by takes that assume small inconsistencies between Miguel’s story about the collapsed dimension and how canon events operate = that he’s lying, and its not the story asking you to understand and accept a particular kind of lens to its stakes (what canon events represent and allow the characters to confront is more important than a scientific understanding to the pure mechanics) plus the fact that well.
Miguel doesn’t linger on these inconsistencies because he blames himself. Of course he Occam’s razor-s his own traumatic event and assumes his presence was inherently destructive, of course he’s unwilling to play mad scientist with billions of lives and see for sure what triggers will ensure dimensional collapse.
Even if blaming himself is the one of the worst, most isolating burdens, at least it’s an answer. It least it provides a path forward that will protect people, however stained that path is.
And if he’s wrong, not only does he have no answer for why he’s suffered, why an entire dimension suffered, even if it was never a moralised answer - but he has no certainty as to what to even do now. Every action that he took knowing the moral concession it asked of him as Spider-Man meant nothing, and he’s accidentally doomed people all over again.
#miguel o'hara#atsv#legitimately any Miguel is evil take falls apart the moment you consider he has nothing to GAIN from this#he’s buckling under the weight of his own guilt and grief and he’s so isolated from even his own organisation#he’s just. honestly doing the equivalent of self harm by watching Gabriella videos over and over again while hating the path he’s on but#believing there’s no other way#he’s literally sunk cost fallacy-ed himself in his own guilt and it’s TRAGIC and it makes me so annoyed lmao to see people view all of that#and go omg he’s just evil for incomprehensibly stupid reasons THAT DONT MAKE SENSE W THE ACTIONS HE TAKES#tunes talks spiderverse

2024 reads / storygraph
The Loudest Silence
YA contemporary
a newly Deaf-Hard of hearing girl moves across the country and starts a new school, struggling with navigating her disability and love for singing and lost friendships - determined to not make any new friends for the year she’s in Florida
and a boy struggling with family expectations and anxiety, after being made the fútbal captain even though he secretly ways to be on broadway, who quickly befriends her
bi & aroace-coded MCs
#The Loudest Silence#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#hm this was okay! it’s a sweet and light YA contemporary focusing on friendship and disability.#It’s a little cheesy; and I liked the immediate easy friendship (well; after a few false starts) and how welcoming Hayden's#friend group/family were. I like how they all jumped to learning/practicing ASL.#I liked how Casey was dealing with her newfound Deafness with a lot of positivity - the main frustrations being how other people treat her#but there’s also the underlying isolation and grief. At the same time it didn't go as deep as it could have with that?#The friendship is central to the story - but honestly I feel like Casey and Hayden’s relationship doesn’t develop past ‘they’re friends now#[continues other subplots] - it ends up being a bit telling not showing their friendship. And then she gets a love interest.#I feel like if you’re centering your book on being a platonic love story - rare in YA! - giving one a love interest kinda goes against#what’s supposed to be unique about it? Like it wasn’t overwhelming and I thought it was sweet actually; I just didn’t come here for that.#I always find it a little odd when YA contemporary books don’t explicitly name their aroace characters as aroace -#obviously I prefer an exploration of experiences to just using the word and nothing else; but in this genre; why not both?#considering various other identity labels are used and discussed there were various points where it felt like it was walking circles#around where it would be obvious to say “no I’m aroace” lmao?#And there’s a point where Casey mentions seeing an ace sticker on his guitar - the only reason it wasn’t an aroace sticker is bc#that would have ruined the minor subplot of her assuming he’s gay/dating his other friend. It felt like a slightly odd way to mention it?#but also I guess I appreciate it being evident throughout but also being a non-issue plot wise - while there’s a couple of moments#of people making romantic assumptions about them;for the most part it’s just treated normally for a boy & girl to be friends (as it should!#It does get points for mentioning people watching by conan grey LMAO (not that it really explores him feeling that way specifically;#but I mean same lol)#Overall plot-wise - there were kind of a lot of things going on and it petered out a bit? I wanted some more depth in some areas.#Also I feel like some of the references seemed out of date for current teens haha.#i do love the love for unusual pets (hairless cat and iguana)#aroace books#bisexual books
