The number of times I've seen people argue that Bruce is a decent father and that he is not abusive absolutely blows my absolute mind.

Yes, you can hc whatever version of Bruce you want. You can even blame it all on bad writers or reject canon. You can claim comic!Bruce isn't your Bruce and main a different version of him. Those are all valid.

However, you can NOT say that he has ever been justified for hitting his kids. There is no excuse for him willingly laying his hands on his kids. It doesn't matter if the person is drunk, drowning in grief, lost in emotions, whatever. Hitting kids is not okay.

Continually, the physical abuse is a very obvious sign of Bruce being a shit dad in the comics. On top of that, there is so much emotional abuse and manipulation as well. He's shitty as fuck to his kids and there's no reason this is okay. He may love those kids, but that doesn't excuse his behaviors.

Anyways, reject canon Bruce all you want. There's certain aspects of other characters I reject, and DC stands for Disregard Canon. Feel free to have whatever version of Bruce you desire.

What is NOT okay is excusing or accepting canon Bruce's actions/behaviors as acceptable.

Guys the cartoon horse line is not implying Jimmy being a predator to kids because the baby is represented as a foil. It is because horses are his stand in for consequential figures and Anya and the sexual violence he perpetrated towards her.

I know he’s deplorable but the line is very much about his warped views of women and Anya along with the Pony Express as a corporation seeing as horses stand in for a lot in his mind.

I’m about to set my clothes on fire so midnight headcanon:

When Yor and Yuri were young sometimes Yor would have to head out for a midnight job and Yuri would try to follow her so in order to get him to stop she have a big poster of Donovan Desmond and would put it up by the front door so anytime he went into the living room it would stare at him and he would run back into his room.

For some ungodly reason their father told them that the Desmonds eat people and they’re skin walkers so Yor embellished that already insane story and told Yuri that now that a Desmond is prime minister they have hunters all around looking for young kids to serve up to him and his skin walker family.

This coincides with the rumor that Donovan plotted to cause the train crash that killed the prime minister but also their parents (not on purpose) so Yor told him that after their parents died Donovan and his family ate them and they’re looking for them next.

So of course now Yuri is irrationally afraid of Donovan and actually is afraid to meet. His team found out he was afraid of him and decided to replace all the photos of Yor with photos of Donovan and when he saw them he literally had a panic attack and started hyperventilating and that’s how everyone found out Yuri has a genuine phobia of Donovan

(In case you don’t get it uh it’s directly related to unsolved trauma about his parents death. Obviously telling a 7 year old their parents got eaten is not a good idea but you know. Check tags for more info)

people in the comments of ep 4 thinking asterion is actually a softie and just has resting bitch face. lol. lmao even. this man is so far from being a softie hard ass doesn't even begin to cover it. this man raised two sons emotionally fucked up in completely different ways. this man created the family equivalent of a nuclear waste zone. and he didn't even mean to! imagine that! he's so bad at being a parent he managed to destroy his sons' sense of self-worth by complete accident!

he actively works against being a softie do not denigrate his effort like this!!

ok so your first problem was assuming mdzs is a story where Good People are Rewarded and Bad People are Punished.

your second problem was assuming that MXTX—who goes out of her way to showcase unresolved, tragic, undeserved endings in all of her works—would ever write a story with such a shallow notion of “deserving.”

the only reason wangxian makes it out unscathed is because they’re literally the protagonists. authorial intent and plot armor ensure their happy ending. that’s it.

Trying sooo hard to keep my mouth shut rn seeing my Splinter getting a general higher parenting grade than my Draxum

Splinter has chapters from his POV in the fic while Draxum doesn't so i guess it's to be expected.

Splinter originally wasn't going to have a POV either, but then I got the double mutation idea and Raphael lost all self awareness so he couldn't have a POV anymore. I had to choose either April or Splinter to take over and Splinter seemed like the better choice cuz he's more involved in the immediate story, and I figured seeing his POV would help readers understand how tf he became so much worse than canon

Anyways me defending a yokai war criminal cuz he has 3 kids:

not to be a complete ungrateful terrible horrible brat for a minute but like having a terminally ill parent who is also terminally fucking shitty really sucks because not only do you personally have to cope with your parent actively dying but also said parent will get mad at you for wanting time to yourself and not wanting to be their live in nurse 24/7 and also like completely forget about who you are and what you're like as a person especially in terms of like . energy level. because it's not convenient to them right now so anytime you try to think of yourself it always feels like you're Choosing Wrong

This winter (the season not the me) has been unseasonably and terrifyingly warm, like it's 10 degrees (Celsius sorry Americans) out today and I'm reminded of an article I read in the news a couple years ago about how Canada was baking at twice the rate as the rest of the world and go 👁️👄👁️. In my youth snow where I live would be probably a foot high in the lowest snow areas of snow drifts and up to my waist (in adult height) in the high parts, and every year I see less and less snow ☠️☠️☠️

On one hand despite my namesake I actually loathe the season winter, I'm extremely sensitive to the cold and getting brain freeze because the wind is blowing against the direction you're walking in sucks booty hole. But like NO snow is extremely bad. VERY bad. Do not like living out the consequences of climate change because uh. Canada just does not seem to have winters like it used to and hasn't in years. It's like watching all the corn crops stop growing like they used to because the summers are so much dryer and hotter with the exception of last summer, which was almost wet enough to kill the corn with that. But they survived and grew bushy like they used to and it was kind of terrifying to acknowledge I hadn't seen a crop that good in years.

feeling sad :(

Idk how to explain this properly, but these two are giving me the same vibe

I am a homebody. I don't like leaving my place if I don't Have to. I can go on vacation for a single day and Still be immediately glad to go home and not want to leave it again for any reason at all whatsoever for At Least a few weeks.

That's the context for this. Nothing has ever made me want to get on a return trip to a locale faster than leaving NYC (70~°f) and then hearing the pilot announce it was 106° (even though the sun had already been down for a Bit) as we were landing in Dallas

[astridthevalkyrie]

feeling like you’re 12 when you’re 22 is genuinely such a humiliating experience.

[fallen-for-the-stars]

If my younger self saw us now- i’d like to think she were very proud of how far we’ve come 🥹

[emilykaldwen]

i am Very Tired. My period sucks. I'm stuck between being so exhausted I can't keep my eyes open but my brain is Firing Off. I want to do everything. I want to do nothing. People are annoying but I don't want to be lonely. I am flailing. I am a lump on a log.

blah.

I did, however, buy an archery target at the sports store today. It was pricey (like about $100?) buuuut I figure it should last awhile? Eventually I'll make my own but right now this one works. Dad and I just have to make a stand to put it on.
