It really is like the cherry on top of the shitstorm he's going through rn lol

okay SO there's a series (that i think just technically wrapped up?) called THE JOKER: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. Basic premise of the story is that there are two (2) Jokers who are trying to kill the other; I'll call them Joker A and Joker B. Jason appears intermittently throughout the issues, but the important part right now is Issue #12 (which came out on on the seventh of November, so like six days ago) and which takes place after the end of Gotham War.

Joker B finds Jason, who is still under the effects of the fear-adrenaline thing Bruce did to him.

Joker B wants Jason's help to kill Joker A and seems(?) to be disappointed by the fear-adrenaline thing stopping Jason from doing.... anything, I guess.

So he gasses him. With Joker Gas.

Everyone's interpretations of this will be different, BUT given what Jason does in the rest of the issue (i.e. chase down a train, hijack a jetpack, take control of a blimp, crash that blimp into the train in a desperate suicidal attempt to save Gotham from destruction)

whereas during Gotham War he straight up couldn't even run because of the fear-adrenaline link

(not pictured: me screaming i knew it!!! in despair)

it seems that the Joker gas DOES negate the paralyzing effects of the fear-adrenaline problem (I wouldn't consider it a fix though).

Joker does note that it will wear off fairly quickly.

I'm sort of speculating that Jason now has a constant Joker-smile, but Jason's face being completely in the shadows for the rest of the issue makes me more confident in that theory. PLUS that's how Joker Gas has worked in the past.

(And don't worry, after Jason crashes the blimp into the train and sends the whole fiery mess into the river, Rose fishes Jason out of the water and resuscitates him.)

And we still don't see Jason's face, soooooooo... idk I think my theory holds some water! (pun intended lol)

I hope this helps!

oddly enough, the ping pong panic episode means a lot to me because they kinda show what addiction is like through pigsy playing ping pong

I look back at it and I'm like "oh my god. that is very much addiction-coded". the dialogue pigsy has with himself and to mk because he's worried of falling back into old habits. avoiding areas/people/objects that trigger the habit is a struggle people with addiction have when trying to break it.

little thing also, but I just really love how they show that tang knows pigsy best and worries for him here. it makes sense for him to know about it considering it's heavily implied they've known each other for years, whether by being longtime friends or in a relationship ("I've met your parents" line from s3).

and yes they write the whole thing off as "haha funny" due to it being a kids show and also it's not exactly the main focus of the episode (mk learning to listen), but if you view it through pigsy's lens, it's something he very obviously struggle(d/s) with so it should be acknowledged as part of his character and development too.

It's a sensitive subject ik, but it's just that little bit of recognition that really touches me

he's so happy and grateful by the end too!! thanking his son for helping him through a relapse that no doubt feels vulnerable. it makes me think about what it must've felt like for him to break out of it the first time. pigsy is really one of my favorite characters and I'm really happy with how they're going with his character :>

gotta say. I have never once cared about dirkhal as a concept. I'm glad yall are having fun but I'm just entirely neutral on the ship and probably always will be

that being said every time i see a new conceptofjoy dirkhal post it's like facing down a huge fuck off tiger (hyperfixation) and knowing that if there wasn't this huge wall of glass between us (my apparent immunity to dirkhal as a concept) it'd absolutely tear me to shreds (hyperfixation). insane shit. I love it

wait so, will the lust mc be locked out of establishing a long term relationship with any of the ros, or will it just be a bit tougher to establish one?

It'll just be a bit harder. Not only to convince the ROs that the MC is serious this time, but also the MC has to work on overcoming their own vices first. And I'm not allowing that to happen until after the storyline has progressed enough to allow it to bite the MC in the ass first.

So, it'll be a work in progress. Definitely don't expect the Lust MC to be able to successfully settle down into a serious relationship in the first book.

people wanting Sam to be a Special Girl so bad (including himself) when over and over the literal text says there is Nothing actually special abt him (or any of the Special Children!!!!!) they literally only got their powers because of Azazel’s blood (and then seemingly lost their powers when he dies, giving good textual evidence for the theory that their powers were drawing on Azazel’s own powers). And then Sam only gets powers again (but different ones! Not telekinesis or other Special Children powers) when he drinks regular demon blood in s4. Like it’s verrrrry clear in the text that his powers are derived from introducing substances into his system, they are not inherent. Sam’s own insecurities abt his inherent monsterhood and impurity color assumptions and how people read him but those are crucially his own skewed perceptions. But the actual text shows us that there was nothing special abt him or the other children. They were simply the children of victims he conned into making deals with him. But none of them were born monstrous or different, they were simply dosed with Azazel’s blood as babies and that worked their way into their systems and lay dormant until he decided to activate their powers (that they draw from him). Thee only thing Sam has that gave an edge over the other Special Children is his Lucifer bloodline but that in itself only makes him a stronger vessel but doesn’t give him any additional powers, just like being the Michael vessel or being a vessel for Cas didn’t give Dean (and Adam) or Jimmy any additional powers. I know people want Sam to be Special and different (and Sam is convinced he is, for better or for worse) but the thing is, he really really isn’t ! And I mean that with love. Sam thinks he’s doomed, that he’s monstrous and inherent impure and Wrong, but he’s not! He was not born bad or even different. He’s not Wrong to feel that way, he’s entitled to his feelings, but just because he feels something doesn’t make it factually true. And his powers are shows over and over to originate from introducing outside substances (demon blood) into his system. I think anyone regularly consuming demon blood (or given blood from a powerful demon like a Prince of Hell) could manifest these kinds of powers, we just didn’t get to see that happen again. Also on that note, feeding on grace should’ve been a thing and we should’ve seen Dean with angel powers as a fun little parallel. Ok, the end.

I'm one week clean of weed again. I relapsed a while back, I was feeling bad, and I had no one to talk to about it, so I relapsed and fell into my old ways. I spent a few months in a vicious cycle of getting high, being nonproductive, then feeling bad about it and getting high again to forget it. I'm proud to say that I'm doing better now, and I'm getting to my productive version of myself which is the version I love the most. That's all, hope ya'll have a great day and say no to your addictions, focus on bettering yourself instead.

I deleted my old Tumblr account because, like the degenerate that I am, I was only following porn! Well, what can be passable as porn now... it was an old account. Made when that used to be more permissible. Many of the creators have since come around to more wholesome content. All the while I remained a vile pig on the accursed Twitter or as the Musk man would call it, "X". Egh. I shudder at the idea of such a ridiculous rebrand. It even SOUNDS more like a porn website now.

But I am a changed man, I will not fall into the depravity of my once lecherous mind. And this sentiment will NOT change!

Overcoming limerence involves recognizing and acknowledging its existence, understanding that it is a psychological state driven by obsessive thoughts and idealization rather than true love. Limiting contact with the person fueling the limerence, challenging irrational thoughts, and focusing on self-care are key steps. It's important to shift attention toward personal growth, build real connections, and address underlying emotional needs or past trauma. Emotional regulation techniques and setting boundaries can help manage the intensity of feelings. Professional help, such as therapy, can be valuable in addressing deeper patterns. Healing takes time, but by focusing on self-improvement and allowing the emotions to fade, one can gradually overcome limerence and form healthier relationships. #OvercomingLimerence #EmotionalHealing #SelfCare #PersonalGrowth #HealthyBoundaries #EmotionalWellbeing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tWaHxeeUog
