i dunno i kinda like how bruce deals w his grief about jason. like as a jason fan at first i hattteeddd bruce’s reaction but its compelling im not going to lie!! ppl sometimes see it as he doesn’t love jason but i see it as a sign of how MUCH he loves jason. like guys!! That is his little boy!! His child!! his son DIED and he didn’t get there in time to save him. Batman was created to make sure no child loses their parent and Robin is created in relation to Batman, and jason dies in his Robin suit. Becoming Batman to cope w his loss of family doomed him to losing future family. It’s all his fault!!! Don’t you get it??? This little boy who was brilliant and so full of potential and his son!!! His family!!! DIED because of BRUCE. Bruce tried taking Robin from him to prevent this and by doing so he sealed Jason’s fate! He killed jason. He killed his family.
Now how the FUCK is Bruce supposed to go on living with that stone sitting inside his ribs every second of every day?? Your parents die, you become Batman. Your son dies BECAUSE your Batman, what do you fucking do?? another kid forces his way into the mantle how do you live with yourself seeing another child in the suit that will forever be marked by death in your eyes?? you think he can cope w seeing a kid in that suit and not hate himself for it??
Bruce’s love for jason will kill him if he thinks about it. His grief broke him, keeps breaking him. The mind will do anything to find a way to cope, to twist things to make things a bit more bearable. So maybe jason was always destined for tragedy maybe there was nothing Bruce could have done to stop this, jason was too headstrong and brash for Bruce to have prevented it. Like these are just desperate prayers to me!!! To me it’s Bruce screaming PLEASE PLEASE tell me there is nothing I could have done PLEASE if he was too angry maybe it won’t hurt so bad maybe I will be able to sleep maybe I can live with it please please I can make this okay if he was a bad robin I don’t know what I believe anymore I just know I can’t believe in a world where my amazing kid is gone because of me <- he is a little child with his eyes shut and covering his ears refusing to look at what is in front of him because he thinks he’ll die if he does
that being said his coldness in utrh is a bullshit lol. but before hes confronted w his son resurrected i think his grief makes sense

Prompt 198
Now Bruce was not expecting to reincarnate upon his death. At least he thinks he died, he’s pretty sure he did. There wasn’t any other reason for him to be a well, literal baby. Around two he thinks, which fits well with the fact that it’s around that time that babies start forming memory recall, if he, well, remembered correctly.
But while he knew about reincarnation thanks to Shayera and Carter, he’d never exactly given it much thought towards himself. Because seriously, what were the chances of such a thing as him being given another chance?
So he was quite surprised at his situation, experimentally opening and closing pudgy hands that looked well, just a tiny bit off. He’d never been that pale before, he thinks, even back when he never went outside like, ever.
He turned his gaze towards the mobile above him with a sort of idle curiosity- a mixture of bats (ha) and other trinkets he wasn’t familiar with. It also caused him to get his first good look at his parent, asleep on a rocking chair right next to the crib.
Huh. They had the same pale skin he did, albeit in the light it looked like it was slightly tinted blue, and while their hair was white they didn’t exactly look old. They looked surprisingly well rested for raising a toddler too, unless they had a nanny or something similar… He rolled over, managing to very shakily push himself to his feet with the help of the crib.
Why was standing so hard as a toddler? And why did he have his memories of everything except how he had died anyway?
His head whipped up from where they were staring at his feet when he heard a snort, finding his parent awake and standing. Somehow silently enough that he hadn’t noticed- or he was that easily distracted by the unfamiliar giddiness bursting in his chest.
“Morning little bat,” his parent easily picked him up and held him while he inwardly sighed at the nickname. Of course his bat motif would follow him into this life. A low rumbling almost caused him to jump, his body relaxing before he could fully register the sound. The… purring?
Oh.
He wasn’t human this time around.

One of the many tragic aspects of Mikuni's character is that if he were to prevent the affair from happening, misono wouldn't be born.
With that being said, the reason why he would want to be misonos' father becomes simple. It's because that's the only way to prevent the affair from happening, and still make sure his little brother is born.
I mean, someone's gotta do it. (Im sorry lmao)
Im thinking he goes back in time, offers Hokaze to marry him to solve the money digging issue, meaning she wouldn't have to go after his father. Preventing the affair, preventing his mothers death & countless others, while also making sure misono still gets born eventually, except it's as his.. and Hokaze's son.
...yeah
And this might be the first time you'll find me not rooting for him.

Julian died shagging a woman who appears to be close to Alison in age. The secretary he flirted with in The Ghost of Christmas also looks to be about the same age. He both lusted after Mike's sister, who is roughly the same age as Alison, and treated her as a surrogate wife. He has been sexual about/towards women younger than Alison on multiple occasions. Almost all of his pictures of Samantha Fox? They're from when she was considerably younger than Alison (she was only 27 when Julian died, and she was 17 when she first became a topless model). Women of around Alison's age and younger are demonstrably what Julian is primarily attracted to. All this to say, Julian seeing Alison as a surrogate daughter is not only not supported by canon, but people spreading the idea in the notes of my posts as though it was canon makes me very uncomfortable. It's weird. I don't like it. Please stop it.

man... rhoam's "redemption" in aoc really sucked, huh?
like botw SHOWED us, several times, how much pressure rhoam put on zelda to unlock her powers, despite her telling him, several times, that it wasn't working. he got angry and banned her from doing not only something she saw as useful, but something that she was clearly very interested in and passionate about because she "wasn't dedicating enough time to her prayers." yes, his diary expresses regret for it, but at the end of the day, if zelda saw that it wouldn't mean much to her. the actions rhoam took, and the way zelda grew up under so much pressure that she nearly died as a child in one of the springs (this is in urbosa's diary, iirc) mean so much more than his regrets and his intentions. it took him nearly 10 years to realize that he fucked up, and by that point it was too late. the calamity had returned, and rhoam had lost any chance he had at making things right with zelda.
meanwhile, in aoc, all that's there is some half-hearted scene in the temple of time that's supposed to make everything better? yes, aoc had a very different and arguably better outcome than the calamity that led to botw, but the damage was still done by rhoam. it's still the same hurts and abuse and trauma that he put his daughter through all because of the prophesized calamity.

Never felt more that i am indeed not in my twenties anymore scrolling through astarions actors tag and seeing people talk about how OLD he is at 42 and that he is older than their parents
And my brain is like:
"Your parents are just 42? And you are old enough type entire sentences on the internet. I am impressed and surprised."
