Just read Penguin: Pain and Prejudice in one sitting *surrounded by blood and viscera*
#mannnn I’m going to be thinking about this one for a while#I wouldn’t say that it’s interpretation of his origins is my favorite and I have personal dislikes and bones to pick#but overall. I liked it! it’s a solid study and I love the atmospheric beats#and even as someone who is versed in his character it managed to bring new angles for me to ponder over#I think. my biggest problem is how cassandra’s role in the story is so lacking despite how symbolically important she is#like this is the only time you’ll ever see me praise the joker’s asylum penguin story but at least they had the girl like#growing suspicious of oswald. finding his annie wilkes scrapbook it felt more pivotal tbh!#idk. disappointed that we didn’t get that here I felt like the bricks to the path were laid 🤷#also the way her relationship with her blindness is written is just oddddd to me so odd. like I get she’s a deeply insecure person but#and it sucks because I like her I think there’s something conceptually interesting about her and the way she mirrors oswald#I just wish she was in the hands of someone who could’ve given her that narrative spice is all!!#*tucks my hair behind my ears* anywaaaaay#rozzie rambles
