A million people have written more eloquent analyses of Batman's use of fear as a tool when it comes to fighting crime than whatevers going on in my head at the moment, but it just occurred to me that Batman really does operate on horror movie logic. The monster you can't see is infinitely scarier than the one you do. The imagination has far greater limits for terror than the average production team does. it isn't 'Batman is scary because he's a creature that lurks around in the dark and breaks your bones,' it's 'Batman is scary because you will never get a good look at him, no one has ever heard him speak, he hits and is gone before you know what happened' and that lack of full comprehension of what he is is what makes him such a powerful figure. As the audience, we know who, what, why, and how he is, so that element is a little lost on us I think, why it's so easy to go 'lol these goons are terrified of an emotionally stunted man in a leather bat costume.' Meanwhile, every adversary who has ever bore the brunt of Batman's attention and therefore had real conversations with him are like That Is Literally Just A Guy.

Just had a realization that Kendall Roy looks like the sad bus guy meme lmao

I feel like pure shit. Just want her back

david jenkins understands his audience so well because why did the greatest pirate that ever lived and the gentleman pirate fucking nasty after a first kill before slowing down to make love as fireworks go off and their fucked up little unicorn sings la vie en rose in drag make me feel so downright deranged that i fully sobbed?

In all its irony, the “I love how Tumblr users use JPEGs like dolls” post has, itself, become a JPEG that Tumblr users use like a doll.

Reminder that those 'reblog this for good luck!!' 'reblog this or something bad will happen!!' posts have no impact on your life. It's ok. They're reblog bait and nothing more, they have no bearing on your luck or anything else. You are safe 💖

jpeg my beloved!!! 3, 8, 11, 16 for fandom asks please? xoxo 💕

(only a small number of questions from bean??? wild...)

'a small number of questions' you say while still asking more than the average 😂🤭<3

3. a character that fandom has helped you appreciate

Damian Wayne! As someone with a younger sibling with a similar age gap to what tim and damian have (in theory), everything about his character made me want to punt him like a football. cain instinct full throttle. However, lots of fantastic works surrounding him have helped me come to observe aspects of his character other than 'annoying younger sibling.'

8. a blog (mutual or one you follow) that has made your fandom experience brighter

Darling, I would be remiss not to acknowledge you and @bi-bats for being some of my very first friends within the fandom and encouraging me to become a bigger part of it <3<3<3

11. if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

okay this might sound goofy but. im so proud of my little batblobs. they're just fun to make and they've brought a lot of people joy. i hope those silly doodles inspire people who feel like they cant contribute to fandom with creating expert level artwork <3

16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

JASON TODD IS FUNCTIONALLY YOUNGER THAN TIM DRAKE. look i know we love the dynamic of jason being the older brother/more experienced partner because woobifying tim is fun, but i will never stop screaming about how Jason is mentally 3.5 years younger than his 'legal' age. After dying he spent 6 months being dead, 1 year in a coma, 1 year catatonic on the streets, and 1 year catatonic with the League before Talia dunked him in the lazarus pit. obviously canon is a tangled mess and people are free to explore whichever version of it they like best, but?? the angst potential?? jason coming back to gotham as an 'adult' but still only having the life experience of a 15 year old?? im SCREAMING. Give me a jason who's like 'actually, tim, im younger than you, so how about YOU be the bigger person here.' thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I’m still not used to people just liking to exist with me. I’ve always liked doing that with other people but never really expected anyone to like doing that with me. I’m kind of realizing that it’s a thing about how I was trained to be low maintenance but always putting emotional labor into the people around me. So some part of me doesn’t believe that people will just want to experience me chilling or going silent or whatever because I feel like if I’m not providing something I’m not worth the space. And then I feel guilty when I need the reassurance that they are actually ok with me just sitting mostly silently and only speaking when I actually have something to say.

Man, I dunno what’s worse realizing these issues and where they come from so I work on them or having been oblivious and having it ruin relationships. (Just kidding it’s letting important relationships die because I’m not self aware enough to notice the problem)

No you don’t understand. The second I saw that Buggy jpeg I was down horrific. I was planning our married life together with my new husband. And then I spend the next five minutes finding out he’s the most pathetic, unhinged, cringefail loser with cunty pigtails in the manga/anime and falling even deeper in love
