this may be a hot take, but - for me, adaptations extricating kon's creation from its original circumstances (i.e. superman was dead!!) bothers me almost as much as the lex retcon
#like. i find it infuriatingly fascinating that both major adaptations of kon so far (yj cartoon and titans) have gone with#“superman wasn't dead AND he's half lex”#i suspect my adventures with superman is gonna do this too. and it just makes me...idk‚ sad i guess. melancholy. wistful. also mad.#i feel like a lot of the tragedy of kon's character comes from him being made to BE superman! not superboy! superMAN!#(one day. one day i'll write my essay “Kon-El and The Burden of Purpose”)#but talking SPECIFICALLY about adaptations. it grinds my gears that the standard formula has become clex clone baby#all while clark isn't even dead. i think it's a disservice to kon's origins AND you'd get a better fresher story by.....not doing that.#i'm not blindly ambitious enough to truly hope we'll get a genuine as-it-was-written kon adaptation but i'd settle for one or the other#like. i hate the lexcon BUT. lex creating kon after superman dies COULD be an interesting story MAYBE. in the right hands#OR. fuck that bald bastard‚ get him outta here‚ and have cadmus create a clone of superman without superman even dying#which transposes kon's creation from “the world needs a superman and the US government is stepping up! albeit a little unethically” to#“the US government believes america needs its own superman. so they made one‚ with full intent to replace the original”#which could be a verrrry interesting way to modernise the relationship between superman and american imperialism.#but idk. i just don't know. i love kon so much and i would love to watch an adaptation of him that doesn't piss me off#AND if i see ONE MORE “teehee clex babytrap!” tweet i'm gonna start shooting hostages. don't fgucking test me#sae originals#kon#kon el#superboy#conner kent

“You are the worst mistake I’ve made in my entire life.”
“So far.” He points a finger. “The worst mistake so far. Though considering we will most likely not make it back from our assault on the gods, I sincerely hope you make no further life-shattering mistakes in the next seven months.”

“we’re doing another groundbreaking storyline with batman fighting his greatest enemy, the joker-” pack it up.
#i said what i said kill that motherfucker#he’s boring and overhyped and needs to be used sparingly#at this point every fuckin time he shows up i honest to god think it makes the writing for batman worse#because it seems like truly none of the writers seem to know what to do with him#you can only bring him back and act like bruce not killing him is an interesting moral debate so much before it actively starts corroding#idk. this was mostly spurred on by hush 2. i just. literally every time they don’t kill him and then surprise suprise!#he’s still the embodiment of human evil. shocker. it makes me want to claw my eyes out#because it gets hard as a reader who really likes the base empathy of batman trying to save his villains to apply that to the joker#it just gets FRUSTRATING because he just can’t be saved; it’s not the same as like mr freeze or ivy or man bat etc#the way batman calls his rogues BY THEIR NAMES to humanize them if we have lost writers understanding why we have LOST THE PLOTTTTT#every time a writer makes batman a guy who punches the mentally ill and also his kids an angel loses their wings#and i get a migraine#BRING BACK HIS EMPATHY YOU FUCKIN ASSHOLES#like i can categorically say the second he abuses his kids no matter what run it’s in i can’t help but discount it#STOP HITTING JASON. JUST. PLEASE FUCKING STOP#to say it drives me up the wall is not enough that’s his SON i am going to crash OUTT#and like he hits dick too sometimes and i just. uuughhhhhh#i don’t even need to say it’s another thing entirely for him to fucking shoot jason in the face#it’s just so. RAGGHHHUUGHHH#such a fucking…i don’t even have the words#a bastardization of everything he is#if batman cannot comfort a crying child HE. IS. NOT. BATMAN.#anyways! the joker is boring i need a competent writer back for bruce stop making babs batgirl give duke PLS a run give cass a run#give jason a run give steph a run break up dickbabs and let them stand alone and DONT BUTCHER ANY OF THEIR CHARACTERS#also stop sanitizing tim make him messy again make steph and cass gay and give jason his own storyline where he does magic shit its so funn#like he’d fit with something like the recent moon knight run; absolutely fucks super fun. something like that! im spitballing don't quote m#batman#batfam#comics#dc comics

hi anon! thank u for sending in this ask!! tbh writing for gun is a struggle for me but i tried lol also hope u don't mind i went in a slightly different direction with your idea🥹🫶
strawberry milk & cigarettes (gun park x reader)
Tumblr media
summary: gun meets gian high school's #1 student.
--
"Yamazaki Yuzuru, to the principal's office. Now."
The class erupts into hushed whispers about the summoned new kid - a delinquent rumored to be making his way throughout Japan in order to study different martial arts, a fighting prodigy of sorts.
Gun stands up and makes his way to the classroom door. A turn of his head paired with a cold glare shuts everyone up, leaving a few of your classmates shifting uncomfortably in their seats.
Meanwhile, you're sat there tuning all of this out, head buried in your notebook. Devoting 100% of your concentration to rewriting your notes from the previous class.
Gun is on his way to walking past your desk, but stops in front of it when something catches his attention.
He looks down at your notebook, the pages inscribed with perfectly straight lines of neat handwriting coupled with color-coordinated evenly highlighted blocks. The layers of organization, the penmanship - it's impressive, really.
You feel a pair of eyes on you and notice an inked forearm in front of you peeking through the rolled up black sleeve of his gakuran jacket. Ugh. Great. Another disruptive thug attending this institution, another potential obstacle to your simple goal of pursuing an education.
You finally slowly raise your head to look up at him, unsure why this weirdo is staring at you.
"Can I help y-"
Gun smirks and turns around before your eyes even meet his, walking off before you can finish your sentence.
Leaving you appalled at his complete lack of manners, but with nothing to do but return to your meticulous notes task.
-
"Okay, everyone, pass your homework up to the front."
You turn to the seat behind you to take Gun's paper and you catch a glimpse of the bottom of his sleeve, still bloodied from the fight he just had before class. Your face scrunches up in disgust.
You glance down at his paper and the absolutely illegible chicken scratch scrawled onto it. You can't help but grimace. "What's wrong with your handwriting?"
"Why is it any of your business?"
You scoff at his reply. "Rude bastard," you mutter under your breath.
He leans forward in his seat, a strand of his slicked back black hair falling in front of his face. "What did you just say?"
You're not sure what it is - maybe it's the irritability from lack of sleep, or the academic stress you've been experiencing tenfold this week, or the fact that this new punk's mere existence in your space is starting to get on your nerves. Maybe it's all of the above.
You whip your head back around to face him. "I called you a rude bastard."
He gives you an unreadable stare. The class suddenly falls silent. Shit, maybe you said that a little bit louder than you had intended.
You turn back around in your seat and pass the stack of papers up, both annoyance and embarrassment coursing through you.
Gun's lips curl into an amused smile at the first words anyone at this school has dared utter to his face while looking him in the eye.
-
You walk over to the vending machine down the hall during break time, already fishing for your wallet in anticipation.
Your friend catches up to you and nudges you with her elbow.
"What was that?! You just insulted an actual member of the Yamazaki family!" She says in a hushed voice.
You stare blankly at your friend. "The who?"
"Yamazaki family, of the Yakuza."
You pause. "Wait, he's an actual kid of a Yakuza family? I thought he was just a random pathetic teenage thug nobody..." you mumble. Huh. Maybe it would've served you to not have insulted someone with the ties to actually kill you and get away with it.
You glance at your watch with a wave of your hand. "You know what, I don't have time for this. I'm gonna get my strawberry milk and go study."
You frown as your eyes settle on the empty spiral behind the vending machine window before you. "Aw, they're all out."
Your friend suggests you just buy one of the other drinks instead, but you sigh and tell her to forget it.
Gun, who totally hasn't been trailing a few steps behind you or anything, turns on his heel and beckons one of his new lackeys over.
He opens his mouth, then pauses. "Nevermind, I'll do it myself."
...
Gun's eyes flit between the similar looking white and pink cans of Sangaria Strawberry Milk and Suntory Strawberry Milk sitting on the convenience store refrigerator shelf.
"Dammit, why are there so many strawberry milk brands," he mutters to himself.
He quickly snatches both of them and walks over to the register to pay.
He jogs across the street back to school. He tries to discreetly leave both cans on your desk before the rest of the class trickles back in as break time comes to an end.
You cautiously pick up one of the cans of strawberry milk sitting on your desk, glancing around the room. Uh, what the... Did someone leave these for you?
You lift and inspect the can. "Do you think this could be poisoned?"
Your friend rolls her eyes. "It's a sealed can. Maybe you just have a secret admirer," she says with a grin and nudge.
It's your turn to roll your eyes at her. You shrug and pop open the can. Your spirits instantly lift after your first sip of the creamy fruity beverage.
Gun watches from his desk with his cheek resting in his palm. A faint, extremely weird unfamiliar feeling beginning to stir in his chest.
-
Gun rests his arms on the railing of the upper section of the roof. He takes a long drag of his cigarette.
The door to the lower level of the roof swings open, and to his surprise, it's you walking in. You don't notice him since he remains out of your line of sight unless you look up.
It's been a long, long school day. After pulling another all-nighter studying last night, you're stressed out and sleep-deprived.
You know you should kick this bad habit, maybe after this exam season ends. Which is also what you told yourself last exam season, but whatever. You fumble your cardigan pocket to pull out a pack of cigarettes and begin to light one.
Gun raises his eyebrows then chuckles at the sight of Gian High School's perfect and pristine #1 student of all people smoking, and smoking on school grounds to top it off.
You whip your head around at the noise.
Gun immediately ducks his head under the wall thanks to his lightning-quick reflexes.
Nothing but a blank wall behind you. Huh. Maybe the sleep deprivation has you hearing shit now, too.
After enough moments pass, he slowly lifts his head and peeks over the ledge at the back of your silhouette.
He smiles and puts out his own cig, beginning to make his way back in through the stairway door. Your little secret safe with him.

Sometimes I just, well admire Fujimaki's talent in creating genuinely asshole characters that the readers would still fall hard for. Yeah sure I definitely root for their lost but aren't them too fun!? Don't you want to see them at least 2 or 3 times more!?
By the way Furuhashi is my new bias now, I love his sadistic nature and how he could be absolutely indifferent and ruthless with people but apparently his hobby is gardening 😂??? Does his love for flowers have anything to do with Hanamiya's surname containing the kanji of flower in there? And he's kinda like Mayu's predecessor somehow, with dead fish eyes and the player he interested in being Akashi bla bla bla I think I'm obsessed with this bastard =)))))

No man It's okay yeah it's great it's so cool how you keep saying the 13th doctor is annoying and bad by quoting specific scenes where she says or does things previous regenerations of the doctor would have also said in such a situation and the only difference is that then she was a man and now she is not. Yeah man it doesn't reflect badly on you and the way you view female characters and women as a whole at all.

I'm reading Songbirds and Snakes (no spoilers for SOTR please, I'm waiting for the paperback) and it reminded me of something. Years ago there was an opinion going around that I truly violently hated: That being that Lucy was also a "manipulative snake".
I hate this opinion in general but one of the arguments I really saw red at was someone saying Billy Taupe tried to warn Coriolanus that Lucy Grey was not what she appeared.
You know, Billy, the guy bouncing back and forth between two girls because he wanted both of them and who was incredibly bitter and resentful when Lucy Gray decided she didn't want anything to do with him because of it. Oh sure, he's definitely a reliable source for his ex's character.
