It digs at my brain that the soundtrack for S2 is full of passion. These artists truly went all out for the season and the story simply didnā€™t meet them at their level. ā€œTo Ashes and Bloodā€ is so moving. It has a choir of literal children singing a prayer for clean air in a language made up for Zaun. (Iā€™m always a sucker for childrenā€™s choirs). I almost cry when I hear it because nothing hits me harder than when art hangs a spotlight on the innocence and vulnerability of children who are so inured to hardship that they sing and pray and play games that mirror or comment on the exploitative forces that make their lives miserable, where praying to a deity for clean air is simply something that exists and is widespread.
It only retroactively makes me even more supportive of Silco. At the very least, before his turn to darker means, he undoubtedly grew up singing that song. And it was childrenā€”Feliciaā€™s children (if you want to follow the canon strictly)ā€”that he was trying to fight for. Itā€™s what Silco was referencing during the chembaron meeting. Heā€™s a Machiavellian mob boss that employs child labor but clearly clean air is very important to him. He will not let any of the barons forget what it was like Before. S2 puts a wrench in the works because it introduces shit that shouldā€™ve been present or accounted for in S1 and I haaaaate it when that happens. More competent writers wouldā€™ve been able to make the integration of new elements more seamless. but moving onā€¦..
There was acceptable set-up in Act I with the introduction of Isha as a little sumpsnipe miner, the Janna imagery, the chembarons scrabbling for power, the scuffle of Jinx + Sevika vs. Caitlyn + Vi ā€¦
They had Paint the Town Blue in Act 2 for the police brutality and martial law!! All of this great music telling, compelling, revving up the audience that ā€œthese are big themes you guys!ā€ and then the story does nothing with them! Like all you need is to just make a song and you can consider it dealt with. I know itā€™s been said a thousand times, but this season shouldā€™ve been exclusively about Zaun finally throwing off the yoke of Piltover, and Iā€™m gonna say it, it didnā€™t deserve to win all of those Annie Awards for storytelling/writing because WHAT writing.

Nobody has asked but hereā€™s my head canons of what instrument each character would/ā€˜ve played if/when they were in high schoolā€¦ basically high school Band AU (? I have no idea what Iā€™m doing)
Elliot Stabler: Trumpet (look at that man and tell me he doesnā€™t look like he would play the trumpet, like come on his posture screams that plus of course military but I digress)
Olivia Benson: Bass Clarinet (her mother feels like she wouldnā€™t allow her much choice in which instrument she could play. So her choices would be either flute or clarinet becuz her mom wouldnā€™t want to deal with the noise. And so she picks clarinet but then highschool comes around sheā€™s starting to want to distance herself from her mom and the band needs a bass clarinetā€¦ two birds one stone)
Melinda Warner: Saxophone (Sheā€™s a part of the group, but she feels slightly separated. You donā€™t worry about her becuz you know she can do her job. She gives the cool energy of the quiet saxophone kid that kept the band together. *Fun Fact, she is what inspired me to do this whole list becuz I watched the episode where itā€™s mentioned she was Air Force and just immediately knew she was in the Air Force Band*)
John Munch: Percussion/mallets (dude gives he learned piano as a kid and so can do mallets, and he gives vibes of percussionist that you have no control of his attention in the back of the room *Heā€™s talking about his conspiracy theories* the vibes are there)
Odafin Tutuola (canā€™t spell it): Percussion/Toys (he gives crash cymbalsā€¦ idk what to say, he looks like heā€™d be able to do the cool tricks *how he got his nickname, cuz the cymbals are his fins* and his relationship with Munch screams the old married couple of the section)
Alex Cabot: French Horn (look me in the eyes and tell me you donā€™t think Alex *Hi, Uncle Bill* *Nepo Baby* Cabot wouldnā€™t play a stick up the ass instrument? But also play it so beautifully, and she gives the vibes dammit)
Rita Calhoun: French Horn (same reasons as above but also throwing in her and Alexā€™s friendly rivalry always fighting over first chair)
Casey Novak: Percussion/Trap Set/Quads/timpanis (Ok so sheā€™s a bit more complicated. The swagger? Gives percussion. Her passion? Personality? Gives more then one drum at a time. And so I had to have one per season of band *Marching, Jazz/Concert, and Concert* Iā€™ll include headcanons at the end if you need some mental imagery)
Amanda Rollins: Flute? (Open to contestments, only started rewatching SVU and so havenā€™t rewatched newer seasons yet, I can be persuaded on anything with her)
Sonny Carisi: Drum Major (the way he holds himself, and his presence within the squad, heā€™s a multi trick pony *Detective and ADA*)
Rafael Barba: Bass Drum (His presence is solid and consistent. He himself doesnā€™t necessarily need to be loud, heā€™s a constant solid beat, constantly moving them forward.)
George Hyuang: Clarinet (he reminds me of people I went to school with who played clarinet *In a good way* more evidence later on.)
Donald Cragen: Heā€™s the director (obviously heā€™s the one in ā€œchargeā€, he just gives director energy *its the dad energy* but when he was in band he play percussion specifically the toys, like triangle and cowbell)
Liz Donnelly: PTA Mom/Trombone (When she was in school? She played trombone, it fits the vibe of her being a girl/woman trying to fit in a stereotypical ā€œboy/menā€ role. And I can see her trying to showboat act tough with itā€¦ idk I can talk more about what I mean but šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø. But she also gives extreme PTA Mom vibes. But like in the way that sheā€™s actually in charge, sheā€™s keeping everyone alive. In the ā€œwell Cragen wonā€™t care that muchā€™ ā€˜but Donnelly is gonna kill usā€, idk I see her with her 80s hair with a turtle neck sweater with a ā€œIā€™m with the bandā€ t-shirt over it, doing all the extra stuffā€¦ sheā€™s band mom)
Lena Petrovsky: Choir Director (has to deal with their shenanigans, if needed can reign students in, must chaperone on most trips. She hates them, but she tolerates the few kids that are in both band and choir)
Iā€™ll happily take suggestionsā€¦ on most of themā€¦ Iā€™ll hear anyoneā€™s opinion about it

so scary being at the movie theater and being shown a long trailer for a movie you're excited for (and have been purposefully ignoring the trailer for so you can go in blind)

It's infinitely humorous to me how, in 2025, we're still having conversations and discussions - discoursing, as the children say - about why Jason's on screen death matters more than any of the other on screen deaths within the Bat comics.
A Death in the Family was the end of the road for Jason. He was meant to die and stay dead. This is rare for comic book characters because the medium is serialization taken to its (il)logical extreme. Removing a character from the chess board is a waste. There's always something Deeper^TM.
Not with Jason.
That bitch was dead and he was supposed to stay dead.
The only other Robin who died and was meant to stay dead was Stephanie. And let's be fucking real here - most of you do not care about that girl. You're not thinking about her, you're thinking of your favorite Batboy. And that's fine!! But let's not kid ourselves here.
There's a million reasons why Jason's death is a cut above most other deaths in the Batfam that we can discourse endlessly about but the main one - the one that truly matters, imo - is that he died was supposed to stay that way.
A Death in the Family was supposed to be his curtain call. It is not cruel or callous to say that that was not the case for your Blorbo.
I can imagine that some JT stans are being cruel and callous when they say that, but then again, a lot of Batstans are being cruel and callous when they say Jason's death wasn't that big a deal and he needs to get over it. They're being cruel and callous when they compare their faves' on screen death to his, as if they werent gonna get their fave character back within six months to a year, tops. That their fave wasn't gonna slot their way back into their spot in the narrative, as if they never left.
And, if I may,.it's honestly fucked up to high heavens that some of y'all are okay with the writers killing off your fave for cheap character drama just so you can lord it over JT stans. I know most of y'all don't think of it that way, but how else am I supposed to see that?! You talk about a potentially traumatizing event as if it's just some kind of Gotcha you can use to shut up people you don't like.
Friend, that's fucked.
Anyway, I've said what I needed to say. I don't expect y'all to care for my Blorbo the way I do cause that's not how that works. But can we exercise the baring hints of critical thinking?!
I'm begging.

You guys know that families of F1 drivers are gonna have social media even if they don't have an account, right? Like they can still see the content. I'm all for keeping fans and athletes seperate but that shit has long sailed. They know, their families know, their friends know and their team knows.
