Bruce is emotionally a masochist and sexually a sadist comfirmed 🤑😨😱????? Or both, hes batman he can do anything (except therapy)

Lol. You could put it that way, though I think it's a lot more complicated, and at the end of the day, ambiguous. There's multiple ways to interpret this side of Bruce, but while I agree that sadism is easy to see in his actions, masochism is more complicated. Thing is, if Bruce liked pain (emotional or otherwise)... he would probably avoid it.

To Bruce it isn't about what makes him happy, or feel good. The things he puts himself through, the pain he seeks out, are a form of self-punishment (a major function of being Batman in and of itself). The reasons are easily apparent: survivor's guilt, being helpless and unable to save his parents from being killed, thinking of himself as never enough and his body as an instrument only. As Batman, Bruce doesn't even register pain as a limitation or an obstacle, so a lot of the time it isn't that he looks for it... it's just that he doesn't care if it hurts, as long as he achieves his goals. After all, why would it matter that he's hurting, when he doesn't matter as much as the Mission? His Vow, saving others and forever compensating for a loss he couldn't stop, is more important than his own wellbeing and comfort, both on a physical and emotional level.

Put simply, pain is something he feels he deserves for failing. And in so many ways, pain is what fuels Batman; to quote King, he's an "engine that turns pain into hope". But the issue is that, to maintain the status quo, he cannot be anything else, and the engine needs feeding. It needs fresh pain, which is what Bruce keeps providing.

However, it's really hard to draw the line. If you do something like this for so long, if you make doling out pain and suffering pain an integral part of your life and identity, if it's so familiar it becomes a comfort... is that enjoyment? Is that emotional masochism? I just remembered I had a similar discussion before (link here), with some people making very valid and interesting points-- both about Bruce being masochistic, and not. And recently, @psalmsofpsychosis posted a fascinating meta and then web weave about Bruce's relationship to pain (and Joker, who tortures him the most) that got me thinking and rethinking these aspects again (link here). She pointed out that emotionally, Bruce might equate love to pain because the moment he felt the most love was also the moment he was destroyed by grief; when he lost his parents, the people he loved most. God, do check out the post because it does drive me crazy. "Whenever he experiences pain he feels capable of love." @psalmsofpsychosis I'm outside your house, come out, I just wanna talk--

So anyway, it's sweet sweet sacrilege hours 💕

#but of course mizu's preferred pairing is mizu x revenge which complicates things (via lizziesiddalinthetub)

#taigen and mizu have so much potential but akemi and mizu have so much unresolved chemistry (via jolynecujohh)

#the way taigen/akemi isnt even represented in this bc mizu is a stronger middle person than the ACTUAL GUY IN THE TRIANGLE. GOD. (via eerna)

#HONESTLY I AM SO CONFUSED#they are either setting up for a poly situation (fucking DREAM ENDING) or they are trying to throw us all off the scent of the endgame pair#either way i am eating that shit up (via dreamgirlfriendevil)

#this is part of why i think this show is so surgical with its writing#the entire season is just this huge tease! (via anonthefold)

#no fr this is the most obvious lead up to a polycule I’ve ever seen#istg if that’s not what happens cuz like even I noticed it they were not subtle AT ALL (via truetealtears)

#op you forgot the fact that Akemi predicts a full out fight between Taigen and ''the monster'' while having sex with him#annointing all the phases of the story until ''the monster succombs and Taigen will take him''#and the dialogue intentionally carries in a tone that blurs the line between where Mizu ends and Akemi begins#i actually firmly believe that Akemi and Mizu are gonna have a fight that involves Taigen but not necessarily as an opponent#and the fight might not necessarily be a fight even#Blue Eye Samurai is 589 allegories in a Japanese kimono so like. i think it's gonna get way more delicious and horrifying#these three are entertwined in fucked up ways that even the fates are scared to remember (via psalmsofpsychosis)

i can't stress it enough how crazy the love triangle situation is. mizu and akemi have a slow motion romcom first glance at each other. mizu and taigen are enemies to lovers. mizu taunts akemi about taigen while wearing his scarf. mizu imagines taigen while seeing a threesome. mizu and akemi have sex scenes juxtaposed with each other. taigen and mizu's brawl is an obvious parallel to mizu and mikio. "this isn't over" "i know". both could happen. neither could happen. all could happen all at once. and i'm watching it all like this
