#the issue was unrelated

[ifyoucandaniel]

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)

Batman and Robin (2023) #18 rambling about theories, Dick & Damian “Harvey Night” crumb, and Damian (not) quitting

and ofc Damian’s new lovely monkey buddy!! look at her reacting along with Damian’s shock…🥺

v happy Damian has a new buddy that will ideally!! lead to the intro of Damian’s other furry and scaly friends!! :’) also a glimpse of veterinarian Damian if you squint lol

the mystery’s still running, and it’s to the point i should let it unfold rather than be suspicious of everything LOL it doesn’t help that Bruce is hopped up on poppy (which actually seems to work?? seeing those “vestiges”) and Bashar is turning out to be too obvious a culprit with all this attention being pinned on him (but according to solicits, Damian conveniently being kidnapped after he’s announced joining Bashar’s youth program…)

we still don’t know what’s up with the guy shouting at Bruce from #14 was about, which brings me to how Di Giandomenico’s flashback sections left us with more questions - is that where the Nicodemus Crowe cult or loyal Mementists play into the present?? and who framed Professor Blye??

SLAPPING THE CONSPIRACY BOARD ONE LAST TIME, running with @gotham-snark’s suspicion of Lautrec:

this could be a case of “staying close to the scene of the crime” thing having Lautrec around for both the first Memento case in London (also her first case in general) and now for the reappearance of Memento in Gotham.

more heavy squinting here connecting how Lautrec could frame Blye - knowing the location of his flat, having regularly visited.

but someone was fleeing the lab, so could there be multiple Mementos?? it’s a cult after all, and there seems to be plenty of death masks lying around lol

otherwise, outside of the comic, her first appearance issue was hyped up by both writer and artist. it could be a sign she’s the potential new big bad or she’ll become a longer running character sticking around Gotham to fulfill a similar role to the retired Jim Gordon 🤔 she's sharp and already getting familiar with Batman and Robin to the point of almost deducing identities - especially with the way she read "Jack" in #16. even her concerns for Robin are similar to Jim's in Robin: Year One

which brings us to the "Harvey Night"!

this being referenced as “a thing between the rest of us” is actually pretty fun to note. since it held a weight of failure and guilt, it’s a story that Dick was originally hesitant to tell Tim; but this implies he’s presumably now told all the Robins and Batgirls so, progress for Dick there??

Dick's "Harvey Night" was introduced in Robin (1993) #0 with Tim asking about how Dick became Robin and how his perception of Robin changed - basically, Bruce, Dick, and a district attorney(Robin1993)/judge(R:YO) Harvey had beef with are captured. Bruce and the attorney/judge are to be hung at the gallows with Dick betting on Dent's coin toss that ultimately ends with the attorney/judge drowning.

the story Dick tells Tim in Robin (1993) #0 is expanded upon with slight changes in Robin: Year One, but the incident ends with Dick being brutally beaten before Bruce can escape his bonds to save him.

i’ll mainly be drawing parallels from Robin: Year One between Dick and Damian's Harvey Nights because i'm starving for funsies!

Dick was already a trained acrobat, but add Batman training and he was taking down Gotham heavyweights breezily. Damian has always been assured in his skills, trained since birth to be prepared for anything. both make a mistake on the field that shakes their confidence.

Dick believed Robin is what allowed him to stay by Bruce’s side, and if he wasn’t good enough he had no reason to be there. for Damian, this event makes him question not just himself, but his own purpose as Robin.

with the Harvey Night being directly referenced, this last parallel deals more with how Bruce briefly lost Dick back then, to losing Damian now.

so Damian quitting…

while Damian’s efforts in volunteering at the hospital are lovely, he isn’t quitting Robin for it. quitting would be an act against half the statements he overheard from Bruce, which would be a silly reason to quit over…

he originally went to the hospital worried and guilty about Emma and was just offered a position to volunteer. the opportunity was a way for Damian to make up for his failing, maybe even an escape from any further faults. it’s also progress in pursuing ways to help others outside the suit!! either way, while he's taking bigger steps to be more involved at the hospital, Damian as Robin isn’t going anywhere in the comic-selling scope 😭

i said “Dick and Damian crumb” at the time of writing this up, but in a recent update from Miguel Mendonca, this arc’s interior artist alongside Javi Fernandez…

WE JUST MIGHT GET MORE THAN CRUMBS?? MAYHAPS, A MORSEL?? DICK IN A BATMAN AND ROBIN ISSUE SOON!!

ALSO IN RECENT NEWS FROM JUNI BA'S NEWSLETTER!! HE'LL BE DOING A SECTION OF INTERIOR ART!! explains the sneak peeks he's posted as of late! also kinda confirms that PKJ got around to reading The Boy Wonder after saying he would in an older interview haha

Connor. Please. You can't say that in a police station.

thin ppl are so obsessed with making fatphobia about anything else.

[chebyshevptera]

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

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

[bugwolfsstuff]

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

[s1llycilantro]

Hi! I've been checking your saiouma Cinema au and I love it, I'd love to hear more if it isn't much trouble 👉👈

Sure!! Despite what it looks like they have a lot more in common than they initially thought and more than Ouma is comfortable with admitting :3

Edit: rereading tags it appears i've ALREADY said this so I don't have the privilege of being too vague anymore, my bad!

To futher elaborate, Shuichi's relationship with his mother was. Strained at best and downright hostile at worst. She loved him and he loved her but for lack of better words she was.. sick. Eventually she would end up passing away with a lot of questions surrounding her death which left Shuichi to be moved into with his Uncle and Aunt, whom he enjoys the company of much more.

Kokichi and his mom live by themselves, She works but, not very well. It's a constant struggle to make ends meet, her forgetfulness doesn't help whatsoever. So, Kokichi has taken it upon himself to take care of her, even at her worst. Even if it's painful. Because he refuses to abandon her like his POS father did, not when she's given him so much.

Never getting over Fulcrum being a project manager...

Idk why, but something about that is so funny to me. Not just because the title of "project manager" is inherently kinda funny for a Decepticon, but also because-

1. It's vague sounding and hard to explain irl because it technically exists in multiple fields, like healthcare or manufacturing, which surely translates into canon in some way.

2. In canon, it's simultaneously a really mundane, innocuous sounding job, yet it's also a super morally awful position to reside over depending on the context. (*cough* forced colonization and cyberforming *cough*)

And 3. It solidifies the fact that behind all the surface level militaristic work we get with both the Decepticons and Autobots, there's also Cons and Bots with "normal" jobs in both factions.

Like, sure yeah we get scientists and doctors, engineers and programmers, but usually in big important or warfront positions. (For plot reasons, understandably.) But it's also really funny and interesting to think of those that worked background positions, or minor jobs.

Like an Autobot working in their equivalent of an HR department, or a Decepticon who runs one of their outpost's or starship's kitchens.

Just all the pre-war jobs that didn't just disappear with the war, but instead evolved to exist within the factions.

It's particularly funny with the Decepticons though, because it could be a super mundane job or situation, but because it's them, it has to have an air of ~e v i l~ to it, either legitimately and/or merely for the vibes, like Tarn's "performance reviews".

[animalcrossingshowdown]

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.

[call-me-copycat]

C'mon... Really? Really?

Another person around with my blog that's openly riding the "I hate BakuDeku and everything about it is bad!" train?

After all my posts????

My goodness! What's happening lately? Has something happened to make so many people openly scream about these 2? Am I missing out on an event! I'm baffled, this hasn't happened so much before (·︿· `)

I'm sad! They were a fic writer too!

One last time! Then I'm going to update my pinned post:

I don't block people unless it's a very last resort, but I'm going to block anyone who explicitly, unnecessarily, and constantly complains about BakuDeku.

You can hate the ship, you can not want anything to do with it - I'm not a shipper, I get it! That's not my issue

But if you go out of your way to make hating a ship your entire personality to the point where you need to drag everyone around you down with you, then I can't let you hang around my blog anymore and risk having people harass my friends :⁠-⁠(

(please please please please just be nice! Please just be a nice person! Please please just stop harassing people! For me? Please it's so easy-)

I'm getting so tired of this
