Danny kills the Joker. Every Joker.

So! As the King of the Infinite Realms, Danny has to deal with the complaints of his subjects a Lot.

Some of them want to suggest changes in certain Laws, others complain about other Ghosts who wronged them, but by far the most common reason was that they died in a violent manner and wanted revenge.

And by far, the main person they sought revenge for was the same person. A guy known as The Joker.

But unfortunately, as the Infinite Realms was connected to multiple Universes, many of those Complains were about different Jokers from alternate Universes. And there were so many of them that he couldn't really just kill a few of them and call it a day, at least some of his subjects would remain Unavenged. And that just wouldn't do!

So he just decided to do away with the whole lot.

Danny began to Personally Hunt Down every single version of the Joker in the Multiverse. Or at least the part of it that was connected to the Realms.

Unfortunately, the news that some ungodly eldritch being being was hunting the variants of the Joker across the entire Multiverse did not go unnoticed. Quickly enough, news spread across the Multiverse that somebody had decided to do away with the Clown that had been such a consistent thorn in the side of most Universes.

Eventually, that news reached the Main DC Universe, and got to Batman.

One day Batman was approached by Justice League Dark about the situation. They had managed to intercepted an Interdimensional message about what was happening, and decided to inform Batman ahead of time.

Now he had a choice.

Either he could try to stick by his Morals and protect even the Joker's life from an unknown force out for his life, or he could let it happen and absolve himself of the blame for the Jokers death.

It didn't help that for the past few days Jason had been in such a good mood after hearing about the Jokers impending Death.

He didn't really get to see Jason smile like that often...

...decisions, decisions...

i don’t believe men can get postpartum depression like women do. i get that a new baby affects both parents’ mental health, but i refuse to believe that men experience postpartum health problems to the same extent women as women.

Idc I will continue to empathize w Stanley.. why are ppl so against writing him/imagining him in situations where he’s expressing his soft side, and as a character, we need to understand that so much of his crazy moments are comedic exaggeration. He’s a comedy relief character in a cartoon. We can’t interpret every single thing he’s ever said/done as a defining statement of who he is because that’s not what it was meant for. It’s like saying Mabel is a domestic abuser because she kidnapped a boy band and kept them in her room!! There’s multiple ways to interpret Stan and I’m not sure why there’s a reason to be upset if someone doesn’t always write him as “The Asshole” 😭

The show did a lot of work to discredit him early in the show to make his backstory even more tragic and transformative. He’s a tragic character that has a “heart of gold.” Ford literally ends his notes on Stanley as being extremely selfless, the most selfless person he’s ever known. Stan’s selflessness is less obvious, not as overt. If he were any different, he likely would’ve given up on the portal way earlier on. He’s dedicated. Undyingly loyal. And emotional.

It’s not out of character for Stan to act altruistically if he’s put in the right circumstances. Give him a loving community and a family, and he thrives. And some of us like to think of how much different things might’ve gone for him if he had that much earlier in life.

Watching the first episode of Dead Boy Detectives...

Has Neil Gaiman ever produced anything even remotely straight?

And if he has...How gay was it?

Attempting to get the beast used to a dental hygiene routine is… well, it’s going.

(She stayed that way for a solid 8 seconds despite hating being held belly up so I think it’s safe to say that Mim is not beating the ‘tiny speaker playing elevator music instead of a brain’ allegations any time soon.)

gwen throwing lena under the bus like that is rolling around in my brain because, basically, they've been playing chicken this whole time, right? gwen brings blackmail to the table, lena deliberately under prepares her for assignments in a series of sort of vague half-hearted assassination attempts, and gwen takes liberties and rejects every offer to quit or just go back to her original job. gwen's blackmail doesn't even seem to figure into it anymore, she didn't bring it up when lena demoted her or any of the times lena has threatened to fire her, it's a pure battle of wits and ego at this point and neither of them wants to be the first to flinch. and now in a surely unpredictable turn of events something has gone wildly wrong and they've been connected to some murders.

the ink5oul incident was a particular team effort, because lena was pretty clearly using such a dangerous mission to try and force gwen into check mate. she had to know it was a terrible idea, she said she's the one who usually does the recruiting assignments and ink5oul immediately took against gwen because they clocked that she was too new to the whole game to be taken seriously. but because gwen could tell that lena was using this as a gambit, she ultimately ignored her own misgivings and reacted quite rashly when ink5oul questioned her competence, knocking over the final domino in the inevitable spiral to consequences town.

gwen's problem has been that she's always ready to go low but lena's actually the one with power in this situation. lena can toss her at as many magical serial killers as she wants but all gwen has to fight back with is her measly lena being bad at murder cringe compilation and her passion for endangering the lives of herself and those around her. the second that she gets another mysterious email with more leverage she immediately looks for an in and uses it to betray lena to trevor, the one thing that lena has been treating like a real potential threat to her and the one thing that lena didn't actually seem willing to do to gwen. potentially be responsible for her death-by-bonzo? not ideal, but acceptable. rat her out to the bossman? no no no that's too scary. gwen's weird email gave her an edge, but lena could have cancelled it out by just saying "yes, I think I know who's responsible, take her away, minster," and she didn't.

lena has always been willing to use her position as an employer against gwen to coerce her into danger, but she's spent the last few weeks quite visibly on edge about the possibility of her own employer bringing harm to her in some way, and refusing to cross the line of siccing him on gwen was her first flinch, leaving gwen open to use her position of class (or, in trevor's words, "quality") against lena by immediately getting the minister on her side.

It's really interesting to me how these two different comics are using the safety net allegory in very different ways. Mutual between Dick and Bruce, one-sided between Bruce and Damian. It got me thinking about a couple of different things.

Firstly... I really think one-sided caregiving is Bruce's default in his relationships with everyone, including adults. Giving and supporting isn't that hard for him, he tends to assume that he should be the one to do that - it's admitting that he also has emotional needs and asking for ANY kind of help from another person and making himself vulnerable in that way that he struggles with the most. That's where his relationships fall apart more often than not. So it's always seemed a little odd to me that he would suddenly go counter to that with the Robins and seek that support from them. Looking at these panels though... he obviously ISN'T doing that. In either case.

Bringing me to the second point - in the top panels, Dick didn't learn to take care of adults from Bruce. He had already learned it from his parents before he ever met Bruce, an issue he gained from being a child star, not from being Robin.

But Dick insists on it with Bruce. He pushes past the boundaries Bruce attempts to set and encourages Bruce to rely on him as an equal, even becomes angry with him if Bruce doesn't give in.

...all of which is leading me to think that Bruce learned this dynamic from Dick, and has slowly been unlearning it until you get to Damian where it's mostly absent again. It makes a weird sort of sense if you consider that they're really not that far apart in age, only a bit further apart than Dick and Jason are. Bruce was quite young when he took Dick in.

remember when swk tried to take li jing and nezha to court for gross negligence in jttw? good times

still dont see how so many people say that dawntrail is poorly written in comparison to other expansions like. what, did you realize you had to learn about a new culture and immediately not care anymore lmao? you've done it before, was this one not white enough for you?

genuinely i think more people should do side quests during msq so idk you can form a heart about the characters you're interacting with if you struggle with that and understand the land better so when impactful shit happens your illiterate ass can actually read and have empathy. theres no excuse for this.

if you can't handle storybuilding and character introductions from the expansion that feels like stormblood and shadowbringers had passionate gay sex that got one of them pregnant and birthed a beautiful daughter they both love and care about then idk what to tell you, maybe youre just lame and can't read. best of luck with that.

Hey I'm fucking tired of people complaining that WL is too different to the other series's. So what. What happened to leaving nice comments on the videos because other people were already being rude to people in the group. I'm sorry that it ain't giving you the narrative drama you seem to think they owe you. It's Minecraft and they're having fun. Fuck off

Lwaxana is such an odd character from a writing stand point. She just wanders in and starts commanding A plots that don’t feature any of our regular characters in them as if she’s always been there.
