-Jason doesn't mind child/teen vigilantism

-Jason does mind Robin

-Robin gave Jason magic

-Jason did not yearn for the cape

-Jason couldn't stand putting the cape down

Are all true and real facts that don't conflict in my mind. All of it is just how it is

have to do my final essay for my banned books class n i aint started yet n im jus tryin rn to start it. but the prompt/topic is a vague 'can books harm adults?' and i have to base my argument on one of the books we have been assigned n like

its kinda hard. because obviously i have to argue it through the lens of book banning, but so much banning is done at a school system level and sometimes public schools. and tbh like i wanna say Yes books can harm people but then what kinda harm? because the kind of 'harm' i think would be for books like manifestos or propaganda or some sorts of misinformation things.

and i COULD argue that books can 'harm' adults in terms of harm being. discomfort. but is that harm? does someone being uncomfortable with something mean it harms them? and even if i go with this concept of 'harm' being discomfort or causing people to be disgusted, possibly triggered, then i still would not argue such justifies banning books because sometimes the Purpose of books is to 'harm' people in such a way. like naked lunch or lolita.

idk im rambling. like im tryna figure out which book to base my argument on and i wanted to do american psycho but i dont have much time to read it all properly. i could do to kill a mockingbird but i dont think that really can harm an adult. maybe the bluest eye then because that one is. yeah. but i havent finished it either. ugh

something seriously wrong with me and the thing that's wrong is that i'm better than everyone else. which is a shame because i am not that special genuinely.

stop reblogging posts that are bait for self deprecation, whether it's intentional by the op or not. (stuff like "BE HONEST are you pretty or not"/"would your fav actually like you IRL? tell the truth"/etc you get it hopefully.) i get when people do it to vent but you're not helping yourself or anyone who's following you who would be tempted to use said post to be mean and cruel to themselves in the tags or w/e. don't give anyone, including yourself, that kind of opportunity or avenue. i don't even get why people make these kind of posts. again, i get if it just blew up accidentally, but you're on The Blogging Site so be more mindful about what you post.

interesting to think about how constantine isn't commonly read as being the most morally upright of characters, and that's generally a fair assessment. but at the same time he can still be a surprisingly ethical character, particularly in terms of the values he holds synonymous with being a good community member.

a couple examples of (what i think are) his most consistently held values throughout the hellblazer series:

constantine feels very strongly about things like defending people's bodily autonomy and showing kindness & compassion towards society's more vulnerable demographics, especially kids & unhoused people.

he frequently & sincerely upholds the basic principles of xenia (showing hospitality towards foreigners, guests, and anyone whose fate is in your hands), and possesses a deep, innate sense of justice that he is unafraid to uphold when he feels it necessary to do so.

he personally values survival above honor but still has a healthy appreciation for people that are committed to a code,

he respects integrity more than he'd respect a good liar (even if he fucking hates you, at least you're being true to yourself; can't help it if yourself is just a prick),

and he is CONSTANTLY PLAGUED by a deeply personal sense of social responsibility to try and nip potential threats to the world, to his city, or to his friends in the bud if he thinks it might be within his capabilities to do so.

of course, it's key to note that constantine's code of ethics was also founded primarily in accordance with the principles of '70s-'80s counterculture + still largely abides by the social beliefs of the same-era punk community, and thus also includes more subjectively-judged tenets such as challenging the establishment, defying the government, protecting individual liberties, taking direct action in support of your community, putting people above possessions at every turn, and actively addressing social issues wherever / whenever you encounter them. so he's not always viewed by other characters (particularly upper-class bootlicking ones) as being particularly ethical. doesn't change the fact that constantine still adamantly maintains certain major ethical principles in accordance with the social systems he inhabits and was raised in.

I am so out of the loop I didn't even know there was G-Man discourse going on besides two posts that trickled onto my dash

I love my morally grey fucked up alien husband anyway. you could never make me hate G-Man. if G-Man has one fan it's me, if he has no fans I'm dead etc etc. 💚🩵💙💜

"Hmm, should I side with myself or should I side against him?" Decisions, decision. He was sure that with a doppleganger, or clone, or whatever he was, that the two of them could sure do some damage, but he didn't think Zuko was all that bad himself.

one of the things i love in superfluous/'this doc could have been a discord ban' c*llouts is when you almost inevitably hit the point 'and then this person started acting neurodivergent on main, and i took that as a personal attack on me and my bloodline--'
