Being someone who read Under The Red Hood and came out with the firm belief that, for Jason, it's not about killing Joker, it's about Jason wanting proof Batman would choose him over the Joker (bc shelia chose the joker). Makes seeing any other media where it's all about just wanting the Joker dead is a teeny bit frustrating. to be honest
Jason could've killed the Joker himself, really, really easily. Jason kidnaps the Joker before the confrontation. I can't open my comic for a reference right now, but it felt like he had the Joker for quite a bit before the confrontation. He had him. He beat him up with a crowbar. He had every single opportunity to kill the Joker himself, but he didn't because that wasn't his goal. Make no mistake, he did plan for the Joker to be dead by the end of it, but do you see what im trying to say here
Edit: If I knew this post was gonna get 1000+ notes I would've tried to word it better or something, this was a rant I made on the way to the grocery store 😭
It's not about making Batman kill either. When Batman says he won't kill, Jason adjusts and goes, 'Let ME kill the Joker or kill me to stop me' instead. The test is all about Batman choosing him. The whole final confrontation is Jason's first death again. The parent, The Joker, and the explosives. It even ends with Jason unable to move as a bomb goes off right next to him again because the parent didn't choose Jason. And instead tried finding an option that'd benefit them and (consequencely) letting the Joker walk, again, lol, lmao <-in agony
#the final confrontation was basically his first death again#and YES he Does want the Joker dead#and it would've been really really nice if Batman was the one who did it#but when batman made it clear he wouldn't kill the joker. Jason easily switched to saying “LET me kill the joker” to accommodate#because he Wanted batman to pass his test#he gave a test to dick too. and technically tim but it wasnt the family test it was a different one so it doesnt rly count#AFTER utrh and the reveal and the batarang you can go hog wild about it. i care less about it then#granted i do believe they make jason more scared of the joker after it at some point#i guess because hes a bit too willing to kill the joker and ive heard jason wasnt meant to live after utrh#my watsonian explain for that is he was so fixated on his plan he cpuld override his fear. or maybe the pit. either work#i prefer the fixation bc i dont like the explanation that the pit was the /only/ reason he could get all plan together and done#BUT THATS UNRELATED!!!#dc stop putting the joker in jason stories im begging you please please please. lock him in a vault for the next 20 years or something#it Cpuld be good and i understand. but also. after so long of people that dont know or go for jasons need for family and parents#that love him and he can trust#the joker starts to feel like?? hm. words. a cop out? oh haha its that guy that killed him woagh hes here#i bet you dont even know that jaybin got beat until unconsciousness by an angry mob#while asking batman to save him only for batman to have to walk away#anwya. where was i going with this#i think i got off topic#jason todd#dc comics#batman#ADDED AN EDIT. SORRY. this post has been haunting me it keeps me awake. what if people misunderstand#they cant read my tags where i ramble more depth. thisbis the only option#EDIT EDIT: hiii#removed the sentence abt jason having the joker for several days bc i misremembered some things#go read its-your-mind 's addition instead also#ok no more i wont edit this post anymore i promise

mmm throwaway conversation between Dan and Danny that popped into my head that I had to write out:
"You spent ten years being a one-man mass extinction event, then went back in time and fought me, and lost." Danny snarls, arms crossed and throat tight. His mouth pulls back to bare dagger-sharp teeth, and his eyes burn with the familiar thrum of ectoplasm heating up behind his eyes. "If I didn't believe you were half of Vlad before, I do now."
His other self -- and really, can he even call him that? He's half of Vlad too. Two halves severed from each other and welded together to make a new whole, -- snaps his head over to him. Wild-eyed and furious, he looks unlike the man Danny fought before, the one unruffled and untouched, unbothered by the world around him. It's familiar, but not like the way a reflection is.
"What's that supposed to mean." The Other hisses, matching Danny's scowl one-for-one with fangs much bigger and sharper than his.
But there's a reason lions fear hyenas. Danny matches the rumble in The Other's chest with one of his own, and shoves his face close to his. "I don't lose."

I've been (extremely slowly) watching the OG Yugioh anime after only being acquainted with Arc V. I have, like, a season and a half's worth of understanding, but that's enough for me to still have favorites. Can you tell who they are?

i actually think daily about the fleury/binner almost-fight bc. okay so obviously the consensus among every nhl fan ever is that they should've been allowed to fight right lmao. but what i think most people do not realize is that allegedly the fight was planned. from before the game even started. because binner and fleury have a friend or trainer in common or something? and binner knew getting into a fight was on fleury's bucket list and he was like "sure man i'll get into it with you if there's an opportunity" and then he saw fleury skating down the ice and was like "oh yeah okay let's go" and then the refs wouldn't let them. like everyone looks at it as "oh just jordan binnington being jordan binnington and fleury was going to kill him about it" and there's definitely a LITTLE of that but they also both wanted to get into a fight just for the hell of it LMAO. i totally understand why fleury didn't share that with the reporters immediately afterwards (and neither did binner, this is from an interview he did that i assume most people have not seen) but it is funny to me that the surrounding context is less "binnington being insane and fleury being the saint that he is deciding to fight him in that moment" and more "binnington being completely willing from the start to get into a homoerotic goalie fight just bc fleury wants to"

More Pink Bunny Stuff!
Warriors learns not to touch Bunny without permission the hard way. His response catches Bunny off guard
(AKA the scene I thought I’d already shared and had promised @thatonecrazysidekick (oops!). @tiredgaytheatrekid more Bunny stuff!!)
✦ .  ⁺   . ✦ .  ⁺   . ✦ .  ⁺   . ✦ .  ⁺   . ✦ .  ⁺   .
Wind began to hum absentmindedly as Warriors towelled off his hair, cheerful despite his earlier complaints, and Warriors couldn’t help the smile that lifted the corners of his lips. He took more care with drying his young friend’s hair, pulling the damp strands out of Wind’s face, tucking a lock behind his ear.
Wind groaned. “Wars, you’re babying me again.”
“I would never.” Warriors definitely was. How could he not, when Wind was like the little brother he never got to have? When Wind reminded him of his boisterous little sister back home.
“You are. We should start calling you Ma.”
“If that would make you happy,” Warriors said, smile turning into a smirk as he finished off drying Wind’s hair. “Done. Was that so bad?”
Wind scoffed, but when he stood, he leaned into Warriors’ side, a brief moment of affection to show his appreciation. “Terrible,” he said.
“Truly terrible,” Warriors agreed. “And you are welcome.”
“Thanks, Wars.” Wind smiled at him, that toothy grin that made Warriors think so much of his little sister, and he couldn’t help but pinch Wind’s cheek. “Ah—don’t!” He shoved Warriors’ hand away, cheeks aflame.
“Alright. Go have your dinner now.”
“Yes, ma.” For that, Wind earned Warriors’ hand ruffling his hair, messing it up even more. “Ugh, Wars.”
“Wind.”
“You need to eat too.”
“I will once you have all eaten.”
Wind, more than used to his idiosyncrasies by now, nodded, grabbing his arm and dragging him closer to the fire, where Twilight was dishing out the soup he and Time had prepared. He shared a nod with Warriors, ladling out a bowl for Wind and passing it over before moving on to the next hungry mouth. Only once they had all eaten their fill could Warriors pick up spoon and bowl and dig in himself, once he was certain they were all fed and not going hungry. They all knew that well by now, didn’t try and push him before he was ready.
While Wind had his dinner served, Warriors let him go, moving over to sit alongside Hyrule closer to the fire, where warmth pressed against his chest and legs as he sat on the log left behind by the lizalfos.
“You smell better,” Warriors commented.
“Likewise,” Hyrule said, and they shared a grin. It was then Warriors noticed the little rabbit—Bunny, as Hyrule and Twilight had taken to calling it—nestled in Hyrule’s lap, clean and fluffier than ever. And pink.
“Huh,” Warriors commented, his eyes on Bunny.
“Yeah,” Hyrule agreed. “We think it must be an era-specific thing. I’ve never seen a rabbit this colour in my era.”
“It could be dye,” Warriors offered.
“We thought that too, but I’ve checked and the colour goes right down to the roots. If he’s been out in the wild for weeks, then his natural colour would have started to grow back by now. So… pink fur it is.”
“Pink fur it is,” Warriors agreed, and when Hyrule hummed, beginning to run his hand down Bunny’s back, smoothing out the fur, that warm affection leftover from his time with Wind swelled in his chest. He reached out to pet Bunny’s fluffy pink head as Hyrule was doing. It happened fast, a blur of pink and then sharp, fiery pain along the back of his hand.
“Ow!” Warriors tore his hand back, inspecting the little bite mark, lazily weeping ruby red. “Did he bite me?”
“Oh my—Bunny!” Hyrule began to chastise the rabbit, but Bunny only had eyes for Warriors. Violet narrowed at him, watching him with suspicion, and Warriors found all frustration dissipate.
“It is okay,” he assured Hyrule. “I should not have tried to touch him without permission.”
Violet eyes widened slightly. Warriors thought back to Twilight’s comment of Bunny being a lot smarter than the average rabbit. Wondered if Bunny could understand him—perhaps not his words, but the meaning behind them, his tone of voice.
“I am sorry,” he spoke to Bunny this time and not Hyrule. “I should not have tried to touch you without permission, and I swear I will not do it again.”
Bunny watched him for a long moment, curious. He blinked slowly. Then he dipped his head, the gesture far more Hylian than Warriors anticipated from the rabbit.

beatles poll, for research (reductive binary opinions only)
#i have a hunch that whether you think rubber soul or revolver is better depends on who your favorite beatle is#bc ive always liked revolver better and kaily prefers rubber soul. and kaily has always been a john girl and i. well i've always fluctuated#my favorite beatle as a kid was ringo but in adulthood i've never had a favorite; changes depending on the mood#i think paul is the better more consistent songwriter though#the beatles#john lennon#paul mccartney#revolver#rubber soul#beatles polls#like rubber soul just doesn't have any of pauls reeeeally great ones. i know it was a turn for their songwriting#but paul had stronger songs on pre-rubber soul albums like and i love her for instance#that's such a quintessential paul song even though it's very early for those. revolver is where paul mccartney became paul mccartney#john lennon was more or less always john lennon in that his songwriting quirks i think showed up pretty early#paul is like. to me. a master of his craft though. in his maturity you could tell he really became a virtuoso of composition#john became more john with age. as a songwriter. and i think his quality can be pretty inconsistent#but when john lennon was great he was great like only john lennon was#paul was stronger than john once they split. which is a hot take ppl don't like to acknowledge bc People Hate Pretty Boy Paul McCartney#i dont judge anyone for who they prefer that's just how i feel as someone who has listened to the beatles my whole life#i'm also totally discounting that ppl can have favorite beatles for reasons that aren't directly related to their opinions of the music#but abstract reasons for having a favorite beatle is too complex to incorporate in the reductive binary poll#this is a quadrant#and yeah i'm a strong paul/revolver fan. i mean ive said it a million times but here there and everywhere and for no one#some of my FAVORITE songs ever always for as long as ive been able to appreciate music and songwriting#they never get old to me#although i do kinda also like john's revolver songs better too. he's more even on both albums i suppose#like i wouldn't trade norwegian wood for i'm only sleeping. those are 2 of his best#tomorrow never knows and girl. yeah both of those albums had great john songs#oh i didn't even mention in my life. ok yeah rubber soul has the better john songs

im finally back with another pvpciv headcanon. I live my brain is finally having more thoughts than just a single sentence. good luck there's more angst ahead
okay so! in the most recent episode, y'know how Evbo goes and gets the other diamond swords to pay for things? that seems perfectly normal, right? wrong. Evbo can respawn. he could've just passed his sword off to whoever had the least amount of durability left and then came back down to buy things himself. but he didn't. he asked others for help(side note:I love the silly little found family going on here it brings me joy. look at them!!!).
my personal theory for why he'd ask the other diamond swords to buy these things for him is because he doesn't want to have to respawn ever again, or more accurately: he doesn't want to die ever again. I imagine if you'd died dozens if not hundreds of times you'd never want to do so again. not even on your own terms, not even when you're going to come back to people who care about you, not even if you wouldn't have to do it again any time soon. Evbo probably doesn't want to experience dying again, probably doesn't want to wake up in his room on the wooden sword level holding a weapon made of the weakest material around, much more vulnerable than he is anyways. do you think being there bothers him? do you think traveling down through the layers makes old memories and old pains flair up?
do you think that the other diamond swords know about this and try to help Evbo avoid going through it again? do you think that's why they help him pay for things without suggesting a respawn? do you think they're reluctant to send him out to the other civilizations? do you think they feel like he's a sort of annoying little brother to them, but still a brother and therefore someone they care about?
anyways I just think this found family thing going on w/the diamond swords should be explored more. like what if they saw how much he devolved on every trip to the golden sword level and just assumed his deterioration was caused just by the golden level itself and only learned later about what exactly happened on the iron sword level? they probably weren't watching all of his video journal updates. he probably didn't make one after every death. what if they didn't find out until just a little while before Evbo made it to the diamond swords level. or what if they didn't find out until after he made it back after Tabi killed him. what if he'd managed to stay strong up until he realized his closest friend didn't actually care about him and after the fact he just spilled his guts out about it to the diamond swords. what if they help him buy stuff because they don't want him to ever have to go through a respawn again
tldr what if the diamond swords help Evbo buy things in the newest episode because they know respawning is a horrible experience for him

something i REALLY need people to understand about phasma is her relationship with her armor. specifically her helmet. it is SO important to understanding her as a character and i don't see people acknowledging it enough.
look. i understand gwendoline christie is pretty. and that 1 photo of her without the helmet (for the vanity fair magazine iirc?) is also absolutely gorgeous and it stays stuck in my head. but she would NOT take off her helmet as much as fanon makes her!!
obligatory disclaimer that a lot of this is supported by evidence from the novel and i know some people don't like/disregard it so if you are one of those people this post is not for you lol
so i think the most important thing to start with from the novel is the simple fact that, even when we see her a decade into the past, she is STILL wearing something that covers her face:
She wore her war mask, a rust-red terror of hardened pinniped-skin painted with black slashes and surrounded by scavenged feathers and fur. The eyeholes were covered in fine mesh salvaged from a wreck, making Phasma seem less like a human and more like a nightmare monster.
and she wears this almost constantly. even when trying to reason with her brother, she is described wearing it. this is odd even for the scyre- because these masks are war masks. even phasma's warriors, like siv, torben, carr, and gosta, don't wear them all of the time. not as much as phasma does, at least.
and this attitude persists throughout the novel. not only with her mask, but with the helmets she picks up on the way to brendol's ship. siv describes her to be "ill at ease" when she's without one of them. and even when phasma is seriously injured, her helmet is the first thing she asks for.
but, okay. this is reasonable. phasma was raised in an incredibly hostile environment. parnassos isn't exactly kind to people. and a helmet is one of the most vital pieces of protection. too much damage to your head and you're OUT. whether that be via a brain injury or an attack to your eyes.
so maybe phasma is rational, actually. maybe she's right? maybe all she wants is protection, and she gets anxious when she's without it. she's still on the front lines of a war, too, so it's not like she's had the time or environment to cultivate any other feelings on the topic.
but no, actually. it's not just about protection. not in that sense, at least.
Funny how, even on Parnassos, she didn’t feel comfortable without her helmet. After she had joined the Scyre, she’d embraced their fierce masks and salve paint as her new visage, as a better way to face the world and terrify it, perhaps giving her a slight edge in any battle. Her helmet performed the same service. She’d first put on the fallen stormtrooper’s armor in the middle of this very desert and had never looked back. No one in the First Order knew what her true face looked like, except Brendol. She would remedy that. Soon.
it's also about hiding her face. something that's really, REALLY interesting to me.
see, my take on it is that phasma sees the helmet as an extension of herself in some ways- like the shell of a crab is an extension of the flesh underneath. when that shell is cracked, every soft and squishy bit of tissue is exposed. and phasma doesn't want to be exposed. to be exposed is to be vulnerable, and phasma wouldn't even want to risk vulnerability.
survival at any and all costs.
“No one ever sees her face,” he says softly. “I never have. No one I know has. She has her own quarters, as I do, and never eats with her troops.”
there is one, and i mean exactly ONE scene in the novel where she willingly takes off her helmet in her FO era (i think her need to cover her face got even worse after parnassos). and it's when she's just stabbed captain cardinal with a knife laced with poison, and she's absolutely certain that he'll die.
“Are you still in there, CD-0922?” she asks. “Still trying to understand how you lost?” “Hypocrite,” he mutters, although it’s an effort. “I’m not a hypocrite just because I don’t believe the same things you believe.” “Liar.” “Yes, and who isn’t? Armitage doesn’t reward honesty. He rewards results.” He coughs, and wetness splatters the inside of his helmet. “Monster.” Instead of answering this accusation, Phasma does the unthinkable: She takes off her helmet.
but immediately after this, she takes off cardinal's helmet, too- she makes them even. to prove a point.
She kicks him, and when he can’t do anything but groan, she kneels and pulls off his helmet, setting both of their helmets side by side like an audience, one shiny silver and one red. “Everyone is a monster,” she says, and her voice is so different without the vocoder.
idk i think it's pretty notable the only person that we know of that she willingly revealed her face to was on the verge of death. she wants no one alive that knows her face- no one that sees her for what she really is, no one that peels back the shell to reveal the weakness inside.
i think phasma is very, very scared.

why the negative posts abt willy? not accusing just wondering
i don't hate him. i'm mostly just off gassing and think he's a bit overrated 😭 lol. he and mitch have been at odds constantly in the media narrative in toronto, it's always one or the other, and i know people say they try not to give into that/pick sides, but you can always tell their preference. the harsher they are on mitch (as they have been a good chunk of the last 5 years), the more willy gets the savior treatment, and i find it obnoxious and unfounded and it's hard to get joy from that when they're using one guy to falsely contrast and insult my fave. he gets away with saying way more aloof dumb shit to the media with no spin whatsoever bc he Seems Chill, like he doesn't care and it doesn't matter when they're losing or the coach flat out saying he doesn't coach him and just lets him do his thing. meanwhile mitch can't even open his mouth before we're interpreting everything he says in the most disingenuous way possible. and the people will come away from that being like... well one is just more suited for it as opposed to uhh the bias is kinda fucked up, don't you think? even the reaction to willy actually insulting mitch/auston last year vs mitch telling the whole bench to wake the fuck up is like....... if you don't think that's genuine spin the way the media talked about it, you're blind. 😭😭😭 anyway, i'm glad mitch is free of that honestly, and i'm glad i no longer will have to see dumb cherrypicked comparisons that won't hold up the second competition is ramped up.
i also remember so many people argued mitch wouldn't get paid more than him after he signed his last deal and i just had to roll my eyes so fucking hard that no one knows how to evaluate the sport if it's not pure offense bc l o l. mitch is and always has been the better player against better competition. some people mistake that for favorite. obviously you can LIKE watching one better than the other or like one as a person better, no one can police that, but one is just better and provides more worth as an actual hockey player, lol.

Been thinking about idw1's outliers lately, and how sort of wild the whole concept is from a worldbuilding standpoint, and it struck me that most confirmed outlier abilities tend to be really useful, or flashy, or powerfully dangerous, and few to none tend to be like, really boring, or totally impractical, or even entirely useless? Which, doesn't really make sense when considering the fact that outlier abilities are seemingly random.
Surely not everyone who's born an outlier gets something useful?
And I don't mean like, "good" useful, but any sort of useful, even if that means you can kill people with your voice, or give a power boost by exploding yourself, those are still "useful".
But surely there had to be some with abilities that were totally impractical, or nonbeneficial, or at the very least just insignificant or purely aesthetic and pointless?
#mods. enhancements. and artificial outlier abilities are a different thing. with plenty of room for error and drawbacks#but being born inherently an outlier by the sheer whim of. idfk. primus or the planet itself. what's the chances there???#this definitely has to have been discussed before. i'm just too lazy to dig for it rn. but yeah. its a fascinating concept either way#idw transformers#tf idw1#mtmte#lost light#maccadam#maybe thundercracker's sonic booms count. but those have some use. also its funky. so he gets a pass i think#i had more thoughts about this earlier when i first jotted the thought down. but ive forgotten them now >:/#basically its just funny to think of like. shockwaves school and all. going around like ''what can you do?''#and you've got the group we see in the flashback. and then like. some guy whos like ''...i can change the color of energon''#or like. ''i can float! but only like... three inches off the ground''#i cant think of every example. but go down a list of useless superpowers and there ya go#omg. wait. if rewinds whole color changing deal was legitimately a outlier thing. i guess he would count#also. in a similar vein. its really funny to think of outlier abilities as like. stats and stuff? plus 1 to so and so but negative 1 to etc#so abilities had a sort of cost. this is smth ive seen here and there in fics and stuff. and its great.#but its sorta funny to think of working in the opposite way too#take misfire as an example. bcs its funny. negative boost to aiming. but positive boost to evasion#less of a chance to hit smth. but also less of a chance to be hit by smth#idk lol. sorry. ive been doing a lot of gaming lately bcs ✨️stress✨️. so ive got a lot of dumb stats rolling around in my head lmao#also its 4am. so... coherence has long gone to bed before me lol#struggling to sleep again tonight. but more so for anxiety reasons. all these federal job changes are hitting very close to home rn#it'll probably be fine tho. probably. got a lot of other personal shit to worry about anyways. like my fucking medical files being tossed?!#tricare when i get you. when i fucking grt you omg. i didnt even serve. why am i suffering omfg#sorry... thats off-topic. so its probably best i uh. put myself to bed. at 4am. so. goodnight and good morning 🥲👍#tf idw#tf worldbuilding
