#it���s been wild

Being someone who read Under The Red Hood and came out with the firm belief that, for Jason, it's not about killing Joker, it's about Jason wanting proof Batman would choose him over the Joker (bc shelia chose the joker). Makes seeing any other media where it's all about just wanting the Joker dead is a teeny bit frustrating. to be honest

Jason could've killed the Joker himself, really, really easily. Jason kidnaps the Joker before the confrontation. I can't open my comic for a reference right now, but it felt like he had the Joker for quite a bit before the confrontation. He had him. He beat him up with a crowbar. He had every single opportunity to kill the Joker himself, but he didn't because that wasn't his goal. Make no mistake, he did plan for the Joker to be dead by the end of it, but do you see what im trying to say here

Edit: If I knew this post was gonna get 1000+ notes I would've tried to word it better or something, this was a rant I made on the way to the grocery store 😭

It's not about making Batman kill either. When Batman says he won't kill, Jason adjusts and goes, 'Let ME kill the Joker or kill me to stop me' instead. The test is all about Batman choosing him. The whole final confrontation is Jason's first death again. The parent, The Joker, and the explosives. It even ends with Jason unable to move as a bomb goes off right next to him again because the parent didn't choose Jason. And instead tried finding an option that'd benefit them and (consequencely) letting the Joker walk, again, lol, lmao <-in agony

Things Geunseo-nim got away with (through sheer determination, madness, and a LOT of extremely specific context) while writing Han Yoojin and Sung Hyunje's relationship:

(Beware of spoilers up to the latest "side stories" chapters. Also yes, all of this is canon)

Sleeping on the same bed.

Taking each other's clothes off.

Hyunje tying Yoojin up. A lot. With glee.

Also choking him and pushing him against various surfaces (including Hyunje's own body).

So much touching in general just. So much.

Having a biological child together.

Yoojin calling Hyunje handsome and perfect with an average of once every 1.3 chapters.

Yoojin saying Hyunje is his ideal type.

Yoojin going on and on about how handsome and perfect Hyunje is for so long - in a single conversation, while Hyunje cooks for him - that Hyunje has to point out he's not part of the menu.

Yoojin giving up a chance to save the world to save Hyunje.

Saying "i love you" to each other.

Planning to raise kids together.

Planning to live together.

Getting married.

sorry if this was answered in a previous post, but how did peri become a villian/what led up to it?

AHEM, this is part 2 of the backstory!

Part 1

Well, Peri still havent quite fixed his skills in godparenting, so Irep is in Dev`s favor, especially with all that Da Rules loophole stuff.

This is not good for Peri-Weri, and pal desides to start with small changes in his tactics... Such as staying up late to discover more loopholes in the rules in advance, so he can impress his godkid.

However, after some time, his wand begins to act strangely, `cause cannot do all those things . Due to the limit on his magic and forbidding of Da Loopholes. Thank you, magic capper on the cane, you are doing your job.

This limits him a little bit, just a tiny bit NO HE FEELS LIKE SHIT. But Peri starts to question whether it is really necessary for him to wear this at all.

And yes, that was the moment when he took the thing off, it tickled his brain a bit. And then put it back on. The next night he repeated the proccess, but also tried to cast something. That was much easier. Then the next day. And next-

And then it was time for the Anti-Fairy Convention. Irep had to be there. PERFECT for a chance to demonstrate to Dev that his fairy godparent can do anything and HE is the awesome one here, not the lapis block-

So yeah thats pretty much the in- lore explanation there! Hope this helps!

like idk it just seems actually nefarious to take one of the very few widely known instances of queerness in older history being a symbol to show queer people that we've always existed and aren't alone for CENTURIES and taking away the queerness from it. like. i know some people say that ''the queerness isnt important in the book" which i mean in my opinion i could go off for 10k words in an essay as to how basil's love for dorian is integral to the story BUT EVEN APART from that its really just. having a real explicitly queer character in such an old and widely regarded classic novel is HUGE for queer history and this is just. literally like. its 2024. why are you doing queer erasure to DORIAN GRAY

Do you remember before? We stood facing each other on opposite sides of that door. Now we stand side-by-side. Let's go home together this time.

The faultlines revealed in the BuckTommy breakup are not just shown in Buck moving faster than Tommy's pace/asking Tommy to move in with him rather than having a discussion about moving in together, but also in Tommy's reaction. The "you'll break my heart" speech shows affection, but it also shows a lack of trust and respect. Tommy doesn't take Buck's stated feelings and wants seriously because Tommy assumes his greater experience with men outweighs any ability of Buck to make his own judgement and/or Tommy is too busy projecting his intimacy issues onto the relationship to actually listen to Buck rather than his own biases. And maybe Buck rushing ahead in this moment gives him reason to question Buck's judgement, but rather than stating his own thoughts and having a discussion about it, Tommy dismisses the relationship entirely with the framing that Buck is intrinsically incapable of being a good partner to him and will inevitably hurt Tommy (and this is a problem specifically with dating Buck rather than a normal risk of emotionally deep relationships). And the whole setup is a mirror to their first conflict: Tommy walks out on the first date because he unilaterally decides Buck isn't ready (distinctly framing it as being intrinsic to Buck and Tommy who knows better doing him a favour, rather than Tommy acting on his own relationship preference or him choosing not to be with somebody at that stage of their journey or saying [not unreasonably] he was uncomfortable with Buck's actions after Eddie arrived). Buck gets carried away and says things without thinking through the consequences, but Tommy reacts to situations that would require him to resolve an emotional conflict by deflecting the entire thing onto the other party.

Neither side of the conflict is insurmountable but it is a conflict which has to be untangled from both sides because Buck needs to resist being a steamroller of impulsive overcompensating, but they also can't build a functional relationship if Buck is permanently on thin ice trying to avoid the next misstep which will make Tommy react with 'this is uncomfortable so there must be something wrong with you and this relationship could never work'.

physical therapy has been so much different than I thought it would be… like the massages and exercises and cold compresses are great and all

but for me the real healing has just been in spending time with other people who have chronic pain. the patients and the therapists both have personal experience with it, and there’s just…… so much comfort and understanding in that room. I feel like it’s teaching me a new way to live.

I feel like The Father and Hell both understand and experience love in all the worst ways.

The Father sought to create a life form that would follow and love him unconditionally. It wasn't enough that he had a great cosmic kingdom of angels who are unquestioningly loyal, no, he needed something that knew suffering and mortality and the threat of oblivion, and would still find love at the end; love for him above all else. But after numerous implied failures at that, in his desperation, he instead created the threat of eternal damnation to force them to love him in order avert that fate. Lucifer's words must have been like a splash of cold water, but by the time he realized sheer magnitude of suffering he had unintentionally set into motion, it was too late. He could not destroy Hell; he could not stop the cycle of violence.

That guilt drove him to seek a death that, from the looks of it, eluded him in spite of the hollowness consuming him. And now he is... somewhere, helpless to stop his experiments from consuming one another and themselves in a glorious show of blood and violence.

And then there's Hell itself, who seems to recognize love as an act of violence and cruelty. It is something that derives joy only from the suffering of other living creatures. God gave it so many toys to hurt and break and reform, and Mankind gave it new ones. Why would it understand love as anything but? It gave Minos a facsimile of the son he is most ashamed of, and delighted when he cast it, once more, into a labyrinth. Gabriel flattened all the souls within it's confines beneath his heel and gave those that did bend false hopes.

Now there's V1, tearing its way through the remaining layers and creating a spectacle of violence like nothing Hell has ever witnessed before. How could it not love them all for all the entertainment they've provided?

But deep within its recesses, hidden away from the eyes of Heaven, there was a Gutterman. A machine built for war, who eventually came to love that which it gave it life at the cost of their own. Enough to give the human welded within their coffin the mercy that both Heaven and Hell had denied them; enough to write a single love letter to them, even knowing that it would never be read by its intended recipient.

So, as things turn out, you /can/ teach a machine to love. And they will understand and experience it more sincerely than God or Hell ever could.

imagine if ren got the necromancy superpower in the wildcard's power shuffle. him being able to bring martyn back. realising for himself that it wouldn't be the same. because that wasn't the same martyn that he was teamed up with.

because that martyn was gone.

that would have haunted him, i think. disrupted something deep down. even though he would have a version of martyn, it's not him. it would fill a hole, sure, he would make sure that nothing would come between the two of them... but once the wildcard fades? he's gone again.

martren was a thing, sure, but would the thought of having martyn back... stir something? because whilst ren would have a part of martyn with him, surely the notion would change his approach: in some odd sense he wouldn't have been alone anymore. martyn would be safe with him, he would make sure of it.

How do birthday celebrations go with your F/O(s)? Is it much of a typical celebration at all or do yall have your own way of spending it? How does your F/O(s) prefer their birthday being spent? How do you prefer yours?

Any strong feelings about receiving surprise birthday parties? What about the food, do yall have the same sort of treat or meal that you get each year?

Are birthdays a big or important or meaningful day to your or your F/O(s), or is it just something casual that is closer to just being treated like another ordinary day?
