My thoughts on Task Force Z #6

Honestly I was pleasantly surprised that this was good! I don’t think it’s perfect because I still have a few critiques, but Task Force Z is looking promising for Jason fans.

Let’s get started:

These two pages are the most interesting and hold the most conflict. The rest of the issue is good but this scene will definitely be the most talked about because of Bruce and Jason’s dialogue.

We’ve seen Bruce and Jason argue before, except in this issue, it’s not about their differences in moral code, but it’s actually about Bruce having difficulty in trusting him even though he gave the case to Jason for him to figure out what’s going on. So Bruce and Jason are semi-working together here.

We’ve seen Bruce and Jason argue before, except in this issue, it’s not about their differences in moral code, but it’s actually about Bruce having difficulty in trusting him even though he gave the case to Jason for him to figure out what’s going on. So Bruce and Jason are semi-working together here.

Jason: “I’m not your responsibility anymore”, 

Bruce: “No, Jason, you’re my fault” 

Jason: “I’m not something you built. [...] You’re a father to me” 

This makes me mad because DC loves to pull the “child soldier” angle, and Jason saying that he doesn’t want to be seen that way is *chefs kiss* because I hate the “child soldier” discussion. It is so annoying because it doesn’t apply here!

Jason: “You brought me into this world of yours and all I got was pain, and death, and the constant reminders that I’ll never measure up to you or Dick. And I know that.”

Jason talking about his death here makes sense, the part I'm a little iffy with though is when he says that he’ll “never measure up to Dick or Bruce”. I’m not sure why their making Jay act the way he used to be when he was Robin, because at that time, yea, he was insecure about being good enough for the mantle which makes sense, that's a lot of pressure for a kid (and he still had a great relationship with Dick too!). But Jason here is 19-22 and he is aware of his skills/competence so I don't understand what they're going for here. Is he having trouble being a hero? That could be an interesting angle to go for but I don’t think that in this situation he would compare himself to Dick or Bruce like this, because he is also aware of their own flaws. I don't think this is a shade to Dick or B btw, but this could've been done a bit better maybe?

Jason: “I made mistakes because I was scared, and I was angry, and I was hurt. You know why? Because the man who raised me wasn’t there when I needed him. But I’m (beep) trying here. So now I’m trying to make right what I’ve done on my own and I just need him to trust me.”

This part is so good! I really like how its emphasized here that he was angry AFTER he died and NOT when he was Robin! It’s a retcon that I’ve always hated because it's so ooc. Jason saying that he was hurt because of Bruce’s betrayal is amazing! THIS IS A HUGE WIN!

Jason: “Can’t you just trust me?”

Bruce: “This is what you’re asking me? Look the other way while you run around with Two-Face and Bane? I can’t. Not for you and not for anyone.” 

Bruce is so weird here, he literally asked Jason to figure out what’s going on and he's getting in his way like? Yea, he’s technically working with those 2 because he was literally kidnapped by them so he doesn’t really have a choice, but B isn't giving him a chance to explain anything? Bruce where’s your common sense lol?

Jason: “If there’s no hope for them to be saved, then there is no hope for me either. So now the choice is yours, you can fight us, and if you win you can lock us away in Arkham or Blackgate. But it’s ALL of us.”

I think Jason is trying to prove a point to Bruce in a dramatic way that if he can get a second-chance then they should have their chance too. Since second-chances are what Bruce believes in, Jason uses that to his advantage for Bruce to let them go. And it works of course because Bruce is dumb. I don't think Jason would actually believe that he’s similar to his zombie teammates since just moments before he was bickering with them lol and saying “I’m not working with Bane, Dent.”

Jason: “Otherwise we have something we need to stop, something bad that will hurt a lot of people. So I'm asking you, as the man who trained me, the man who raised me, a man who cares so much about what is right... Will you please just get the (beep) out of our way?”

Ugh this part is so good, I have nothing else to add at the moment!

Overall this comic is good! It’s not perfect for sure but I think this is a pretty good comic for Jason to be in. I’m not going to comment yet on Jason’s moral code or his new path to vigilantism because it is NOT Rosenberg’s decision, it’s DC’s executive decision (so it wouldn't be fair). Rosenberg is working with what he’s been given and I think that with Jason’s new direction, Task Force Z is a fun read. Thank you!

metr0c0n 2k18 thursday

hewwo!! first day over aa.. this is 4 future me, but i suppose u can read it~? cosplayed: tsumiki (sd/r2)

started off the day rly eqsy bc apparently the lunch rush traffic was held back by a crash? i left after eating some cereal n packing n stucc n dad n i listened to The Eagles on the way there n i got all Registered then walked around for a lil while until my DD/lC panel. i saw a shiki (s1dem) tho n went “!!? bc i didnt think id see any s1dem cosplays here this weekend but!! oh i also saw my old friend Lynds (still cosplaying casual rapunzel like last year) n we talked abt how we became more depressed over junior year n how, when she went to d!sney trvia, she should just start singing tangled songs bc thatd b “a power move” n “have big dick energy” lol 

so anyway i went to the panel n it was just all of us writing poetry in near silence then sharing em n some ppl had serious poems or short dumb ones or funny ones n the joker/akira next 2 me wrote a rly good poem abt akira!! i wrote one abt a beast pouncing on someone in the woods n devouring em, w each line as 6 syllables! then shared one of my old poems abt my negative thoughts regarding my weight then the panel ended soon enough! 

then i got 2 walk around for 2 hrs.... i rly just kind of circled the dealer’s room n sometimes the con floor n i visited the idol table but only rly found one shinou keychain i wanted so.. oh1 a tsumiki i emt turned out 2 b the mei i befriended like 2 years ago at the con tho! n i was like “aaa it’s nice 2 see u again!” n they had the junkrat too (the junkrat wasnt junkrat tho, i just mean it was the same guy as the junkrat i befriended back then w the mei) HOWEVER at an itabag booth, i thought the person running it w pink hair looked like tori n i was like “oh my god r u cosplaying tori?” n they went “yea! n this is my Eichi!” n pointed 2 their fellow booth runner n i was so excited n asked 4 their pic n the eichi had 2 put on their jacket (they were the dance gcha versions) n i was like “oh my gosh dude i luv ES i was actually gonna go as tsukasa today we coulda been the rich kid trio omg” n i showed them my ES buttons/straps then left n a while after, i met a komaeda n took their pic n we talked abt despair n DR n joked around n hs was brought up n he apparently has a jake engl!sh cosplay at home n we were just joking around for a while abt DR n hs n h!veswap n stuff until i parted ways 2 go back 2 the dealer’s room. before that in the dealer’s room, i met a homare n after my pic i said “uhm.. prec/ure, thank you for saving everyone!!”  n found that kind of cute. a junko also took selfies w me aa.

i also met an aoba n took their pic n told them abt the official english localization coming soon n they were stoked bc they didnt kno abt it b4 n they told me there was a noiz at the con too so i was like “!!” n i eventually found them n apparently they were semi-new to the dm/md fandom? they said they were Late but i told them abt the localization too. while i was talking to the noiz, some lady at a nearby artist booth was like “are those ur real nails? omg can i take a pic” so i let her photograph my hands n we talked abt nails n how she usually kept hers long but has to cut em shorter for cons bc they break at cons due to the lifting she has to do n stuff.

[scoots closer] hm. that’s-” they had 2 leave after a minute but ANYWAY they said they were gonna b kanzaki on saturday n im READY

Pamper Me! | Fems!AU

@hakoneonii

She would be lying if she said she was not enjoying their afternoons together; even if Yuuto was not that big on pampering herself with face masks and whatnot, she always loved to spend time with her big sister. And ever since she hung out with that yankee more often than anything else, she had gotten more and more jealous about it, her possessive nature showing. Surely, she was no angel herself, bringing home these bad guys on the regular -- but she had been seeing one guy in particular for quite some time now and it must’ve been a shocker that the tomboy would finally settle for someone instead of picking a fight instantly. 

But for now, it was all about her oneesan and she loved it.

Letting her older sister apply a face mask onto her, she merely closed her eyes and leaned her face forward as they both sat on the floor of Hayato’s bedroom, she loved the feeling of her palms pressing against her face so gently -- sometimes, she wished that she could have a partner just as soft and dainty as the redhead... she could fall asleep right then and there with all these touches.

“Oi, what’s that face mask for though? What’s it doing?”
