this is so stupid but here’s a little comic i made for a little bingo au me and @twisted-tales-told came up with a few weeks ago. pretty much just the idea that jason needed a cover at some point and stumbled in on bingo night and was quickly adopted by the little old ladies there. now he plays every friday and has beef with dora and gets sent home with banana bread :) clara is trying to set him up with her grandson and all of her problems with her land lord have mysteriously been solved :))

being involved in his community is very important to jason and he loves seeing them host community events bc it feels like his home is healing

bonus: none of the bats have the faintest idea what Jason does in his spare time aside from babs and dick is so butthurt he wasn’t invited (not pictured: nightwing outside the bingo hall window looking in look a kicked puppy while jason flips him off)

(this is my first comic pls be nice it’s just a sketch)

Hey! I was just wondering, I personally have been wanting to do a “showdown” tumblr for a while and since you’re one of the most popular ones I’ve seen (I think) I wanna know if you have any tips? Specifically about how you do it, how you got it popular, is it rough starting out and how can I help that, etc.

tip one have a weird compulsion to make lists and a bad sense of time blindness so you don't notice how damn long the lists are taking to make tip two make lists tip three keep reblogs and irrelevant posts to a minimum and have a tagging system so people can find stuff easily tip four no matter what people are gonna ask you to add extra options for their more nuanced opinions. do not add extra options.

If this album cover was on his own i might agree with everyone saying that this is an overreaction, but even then i would say that if it is satire is badly done lol BUT this is just one thing in a series of weird shit Sabrina has done regarding sex that i feel people are ignoring. Saying shit like "i'm a grown woman BUT I LOOK LIKE A NIÑA / come put something big in my casita". Doing a full lolita photoshoot. Her whole baby doll, lingerie looks. Like if you are short and want to be sexual, be my guest lmao but telling people you look like a child while making content that is all about sex and hypersexual and then you brand as empowering is bizarre. This last cover/album is just another new brand of this

Anyone else get a little bit nauseous when they watch s2p2 e20 and the powers are going back to people and jays power veers away from the rest. Like it’s just a little thing but for some reason it’s so impactful 😭 i don’t even know why cheby do u know why

oh anon. I do know why : )

It’s because Jay’s entire tiny character arc in ndr for season 1 and two revolves around the fact that he feels entirely alone. he’s lost, he doesn’t fit in anywhere, and he’s so desperate for a family that he’ll follow anyone or anything that gives him hope that he can find one . he hates the administration, but he stays with them because they’re providing him a sense of purpose, somewhere with people , some fucked up place he can call home because he knows nothing else.

but he immediately turns on them when ras goes to him, convinces him that ras cares for him, NEEDS him, because he was once important to ras . he trusts ras blindly because he’s desperate . jay never would have left if ras hadn’t lied to him and used his loneliness and amnesia against him

ras knows what he’s doing too btw . “the merge left him without his memories. lost, alone, and friendless. i found him. helped him when no one else did.”

jay’s lightning diverging from the path of the rest of the elements is sickening to me because it really does signify just how alone he is, how separated he is from everyone else. and it really is especially awful to watch, because of all the characters in ninjago, jay is the one who needs family the MOST . jay relies on people to feel happy, to feel content, and he has no one . he doesn’t even have HIMSELF anymore because he SHATTERED HIS SOUL

if i were him I’d be pretty fucking spiteful right now too … whatever he does next season I am 100% standing by him this has been a long time coming

HIGH-RISE

I keep mentioning ballard over here, and on bsky I made a comment that robert laing and nick carraway "look"/"feel" similar in my mind: it's partially because of how characters function in their respective narratives (to over simplify it so I don't accidentally write a whole essay, they're "observers"), but also because both gatsby and high-rise give me parallel sensations of something like voyeuristic claustrophobia. which is why I usually re-read high-rise after finishing gatsby! it's not quite a cycle tho bc if I read high-rise first, I skip gatsby and go right to kingdom come

anyway: the man of the hour, robert laing!

There is always a consequence.

I will never like or forgive Luke mostly because he is the reason Castor is never gonna see their dad again

Like its assumed that Dionysus had a good relationship with his kids.

And yeah Castor will have Pollux in the future but they're never gonna see their dad again.

They're dead and Dionysus is deathless

They're dead and never gets to see the parent they loved because Luke hated his parent

General PSA that I love and support trans people, the whole of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, disabled people, people of all races and nationalities, Neurodivergent people, people of any and all genders and identies, and the laws that protect and support all of them.

I am some of those things. I love people of all of those things. I support things that support me and people I love.

I love you all. My blog is a safe place for everyone. If you don't agree with these things, which feels like a low bar to me, feel free to no longer participate with my stuff.

stan twins the canon cptsd brothers i will always think about all your unaddressed issues that would make perfect plot fuel for your spinoff

and also the whole 'stan getting that poem by bill via a website which contrasts with bill getting one from the axolotl via a website' foreshadowing thing

like idk i would love something like su future but like more optimistic, aka not an accumulated breakdown that has to be mostly resolved off screen at the end :/// but something thats being kinda addressed throughout? (although would love to see one of them turn into a monster thats always fun lol)

stan having severe issues from his dad and those years of being homeless that we keep on getting more info on but never really getting confronted on (the drifter catalogue and tijuana incident...), him being completely alone for like twenty years when running the shack before soos comes along to the point that 1998 is noted as his low point, and him not really learning about bill+what he did to ford until ages after he killed him if he ever did get the full context

while i think amnesia and everyone seeing him as a hero actually helped with stan's 'i'm a worse version of my brother' thing its still a lingering issue too and we now got him being insecure over his own hands

ford being immediately thrown from 'being tortured by bill' to 'being stuck in the multiverse and being chased by bounty hunters constantly', him fully expecting himself to die when destroying bill, and him only now being safe for the first time in 30 years ....relatively safe, he's still in constant danger because of course he is

idk in the end the series wants them to be happy and they deserve it, its why i wasn't too worried about the book being like 'ooh bill is back!! and the book is haunting ford' thing cos i knew they'll be ok

I have thoughts about Batman and Robin 18 (spoilers below the cut)

In this issue, Damian declares he'd quit being Robin after finding Memento to instead start an internship at the hospital.

This may seem sudden, especially since he said that he wasn't quitting Robin in favor of the hospital two issues ago, but he had overheard Jason and Bruce talking over the comms, with Bruce being his usual self

this is making Damian feel like not only does Bruce doesn't believe in his capabilities, he doesn't trust his judgment either. Which is why Damian wants to prove himself by doing something even Bruce couldn't (catching Memento) before putting down the mantle to forge his own path.

But the thing to note here, is that Bruce just sees that as a form of conflict, something that separates him from Damian. In fact, he believes that Damian only stays in Gotham because he is Robin, that he'd just leave if it wasn't for that.

Which, sure, they have mostly bonded as Batman and Robin and a lot less as Bruce and Damian, and this might have been true when Damian first started to live with him; but in this case- it's plainly false!

In fact, Damian's interest in medicine was partly started because of his legacy as Thomas' grandson (Bruce's son). It was the journals Bruce gave him. It was the first reason he mentioned when he talked about why he started volunteering at the hospital.

In any case, Damian isn't quitting Robin to get away from Bruce, nor was Batman and Robin the only buffer between them; he's... about 14 here? (I'm not certain because DC timelines are a Lot to keep up with). it's been a long time since Damian went to live with Bruce. He has changed, developed over time, and the thing is that Bruce still sees the 10 year old in him and not who he grew up into

Which is kinda upsetting, both because Damian has changed a lot since then, but because it also creates hardly attainable expectations of him. Damian is just starting to try to find himself (as teenagers do), and he has his family to help him, but he doesn't feel comfortable sharing this side of him, his doubts (is what we're doing in Gotham not just making things worse in the long run? What use is it to fight to help people if we still hurt them that way?) or things he thinks of as weaknesses to Bruce.

His feelings here can be explained further by the fact he's still grieving both of his grandfathers' deaths (Alfred and Ra's), who he failed to save. All of this is weighting him down, and he's trying to find a better path for himself, after an entire life of hurting others (no matter the reason). And I think that's admirable. But Bruce's apparent rejection when it comes to letting him grow into his own person hurt him badly.

Even though we know it's because Bruce is insecure about his place in Damian's heart, Damian doesn't. And if they can't manage to communicate better in the next few issues, this is quickly going to become a huge problem between them.

I sure hope that Dr Bashar being part of the LoA and trying to manipulate Damian is just Bruce overthinking though.
