Jason travels to an alternate universe where Bruce only cares about being Batman. He took in each of his kids to serve the mission, not be his children.
Now, faced with alternate versions of his family, Jason has to grapple with the fact that his Bruce does care, that he is his father. Because the man in front of him now, trying to send him home, isn’t even close.
#batman#jason todd#bruce wayne#redhood#batfam#batfamily#this bruce went one of two ways 1) running his kids into the ground and they’re basically unrecognizable to jason or 2) worked them so hard#they couldn’t take it and left the business entirely and he’s completely alone except the JL which doesn’t like him but he is necessary#sure crime is down but bruce’s crusade is just that an actual crusade because he treats his sons like soldiers and everything comes second#to the mission. i don’t even know if damian exists in this universe because the idea of bruce having romantic relationships is laughable#although here he might be more closely aligned to talia because they’re both mission oriented and having a legal heir for their literal#legacy might appeal to him idk. just that jason shows up and it’s like his brothers have military ranks instead of names. none of them have#real jobs or even friends because they eat sleep work live at the manor and would never leave the batcave if it weren’t for public#appearances. it’s insane to see dick without his personality or tim who really does act like a robot and not a person. i don’t know if steph#cass and duke would stick around for this (or alfred for that matter i’m 50/50)#but when jason does get back everyone is shocked that he sticks around the cave and manor for a couple weeks checking in on everyone and#making the effort to do things unrelated to mask business. he has to write a report about the incident and he struggles to even put into#words how wrong it felt. his arguments with bruce also skew slightly because he can’t claim bruce doesn’t care in general just that he#doesn’t care about him or express it enough or in the right way. a far cry from the usual spiel and bruce is concerned so they talk it out

“I’m so glad the show removed the incestual parts of Louis and Claudia’s relationship” ummm the emotional incest/enmeshment is still VERY much present. Claudia was selfishly created to fulfill the emotional needs that Louis’ partner could not. The incestual elements are baked into the dynamic Anne Rice wrote. Whether it’s romantic and/or emotional (I think the writers leaving out the romantic element for the show was a good call imo). They telepathically communicate while he’s fucking Lestat! Lestat sometimes refers to her like she’s a romantic rival! Louis wouldn’t recognize a healthy parental boundary if it hit him over the head!
Trying to remove any notion of incest from LouClaudia is like ordering a sandwich but saying “hold the bread”. You can do that! But it’s not really a sandwich anymore lmao.
#their relationship is textbook enmeshment#Anne rice was obsessed with writing about how vampirism blurs boundaries/roles in familial relationships.#it’s baked into everything sorry:/#please critique how Anne rice uses dark topics like incest in her books all day#but don’t act shocked that the topic is there😭#louis de pointe du lac#claudia#lestat de lioncourt#iwtv#iwtv meta

“THE DEVIL” from HAUNT (2019)

I still really love Act l of Arcane Season 2 and I was so hopeful with how everything was set up and I still think everything is the first Act was good, approaching Season 1 level.
However now that we have the whole season I’ve seen a lot more people start to interrogate the writing, specifically of Cait and Vi.
I was first to defend the way things were done in act l but now that we have the rest of the story it puts many of the choices in a different light and it’s definitely worth criticism.
It remains me a lot of how I feel about Wasteland, the scene of Ekko talking Jinx down. The scene itself is great, stunning and really shows the care both of them have for each other despite all they’ve been through. Ekko not giving up on her because he sees her value where she sees a curse. It’s interesting to see that at her lowest she doesn’t bother to hide that she cares deeply about him. It’s good (though objectively should have been longer) and in isolation I appreciate it.
Retroactively it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. After the ending and Jinx “sacrifice” (that’s set to the same song) I feel like the writers really didn’t care about Jinx coming back from rock bottom with her supports (not seeing anything in between doesn’t help this). She dies and it’s framed the same way as all of her previous attempts and now it’s framed as good. It poisons the scene with Ekko the same as Vi’s later writing poisons her decisions in Act l. Because we now know they don’t care and were not going to be responsible with what they were depicting.
That scene also seems to be unnaturally beautiful, combined with the glorification of Jinx’s sacrifice it’s sickening. They wanted a spectacle and that was what they chose to debut the Z -Drive….
Even the good parts have to be called into question after the later decisions.
#act l we could have had it all#wasteland bothers me now#I started an analysis for it but anything I had to praise was subject to questioning#putting this here cause I never want to think about it again but#why do all (2) of Ekko and Jinx’s on screen interactions involve her trying to blow herself up#???#there were also (many) less traumatic ways for Ekko to first use his device#also why do I feel like they’re avoiding solving the conflict between these two#they just don’t have to address it now because we know they’d do anything for each other in a do or die situation#we see how much they mean to each other but we don’t actually get to see the dynamic grow#arcane#arcane critical#stop rushing the ships with shock value challenge#writing this so I can stop thinking about it#jinx arcane#ekko arcane#timebomb#vi arcane#arcane season 2

Most inaccurate part of Wonder Woman (2017) is that Ares managed to beat and kill Athena, mf wouldn’t even make it past Hermes lol
#yeah bro let’s make the god of manliness and violence kill the warrior goddess even tho she always beats him in mythology#that’s totally feminist#like did he kill Hera? what happened to Enyo/Eris/Phobos and Deimos?#acting as if mortals like Heracles and Diomedes didn’t absolutely manhandle him lmao#what is it with Hollywood and killing the gods?#and then getting shocked when you don’t have any material for the sequel?#greek mythology#ancient greek mythology#greek pantheon#greek goddess#Athena#athena goddess of wisdom#athena goddess#ares#ares god of war#ares deity#ares greek god#wonder woman#wonder woman movie

years ago kim cattrall did an interview and said that she doesn’t want to be in a situation for even an hour where she doesn’t enjoy herself and i was journaling this morning and thinking of it bc she is so correct for this
#ofc that doesn’t include the shit we HAVE to do but there is so much power in knowing the value of ur own free time#like maybe being busier like i have been has helped shift my perspective but like i get so little true frolic time to be creative and have#fun and write and socialize and do all that stuff that i love doing that it’s shocking to think that there was a time where i spent#precious minutes and hours of my life my free time that belongs to me absolutely sick with worry#worried about what other people think worried about not being good enough worried about how im perceived#worried about what I don’t know like do not ever put yourself in a situation where you aren’t enjoying yourself for even ONE hour if u have#the choice#valuing yourself and your time is like the most gentle act of self care there is

Watching everything that’s happening leading up to the inauguration like, they’re really just not hiding how dystopian this all is anymore, but I still gotta do my laundry, I guess.
#between the whole tiktok thing being a publicity stunt to garner support for trump and paint him as a hero of the youth#(and if there was not some secret sell of the company that’ll be revealed tomorrow then i’ll be shocked)#(i’m fairly convinced tiktok will be elon’s. at least in the usa)#and the immediate ice raids in chicago#and trump/mike johnson asking for flags to be raised despite being in the middle of the mourning period for carter#and california having to bow to it because they desperately need wildfire relief funds that trump will deny if they don’t cater to his ego#(because he’s already threatening that. as is usual. this is how he always acts with our fires)#but gotta do laundry and finish my readings for class#👍 likely the only thing i’ll really talk about w this because i don’t want to fall into doomerism#z rambles

This is making me laugh so hard. Buck really expected them to be devastated like him when they found out Eddie is moving but instead they are acting how someone would expect friends to react to it. Meanwhile He’s like so you guys whole world isn’t falling apart right now?

#911 abc#911 spoilers#buddie#911 8x09#finally watching season 8#I’m speeding through these episodes#like he’s really shocked everyone else isn’t devastated#shoutout to that person who said buck and Eddie have never had best friends before#that’s why they don’t notice how they don’t act like normal best friends

oh also more mha updates
i…… i like monoma. he’s so Real to me
izuku and all might are dead fucking wrong if you think about it for more than two seconds, and it only makes me double down on my belief that if i were katsuki i’d have been so much worse
denki <3 my absolute beloved baby girl
i have feelings for kirishima i absolutely do he is sooooo earnest and darling
i said i didn’t care for dabi and in some ways i don’t but also i do. he’s kinda funny. the rest of the league is really annoying to me tho and i couldn’t care less about their sob stories and why they think their villainry is valid
in particular i find shigaraki and toga extremely annoying
endeavor really is such a bitch i had no idea this man was so terrible
it’s so cute how nezu is always in aizawa’s scarf
it’s kind of sad how aizawa seems to be the only teacher/adult to see through katsuki. everyone else teases him and makes light of him being a grump but he’s been through so much shit and still persists and then he gets called aggressive and intense in his pursuit of what he wants. and to top it all off he’s being gaslight by his favorite hero and deku… man. i want everybody to leave him alone
when is shinsou coming back i miss him
#mie watches mha#like…. individually i begrudgingly find izuku endearing#but in the context of everything going on he is so wrong 😭😭😭 and so is all might#i fear my love for katsuki stems from the fact that i would have done what he did and way worse if k we#if i were in his shoes*#dabi is still annoying dont get me wrong but he’s much less annoying compared to the rest of the league who irritate the hell out of me#but when i write him into shoto fics i love him LOL#like?? he gets kidnapped bc of deku and him having ofa and they both act like keeping it a secret is for his benefit/their sake???#when he’s one repeatedly being blamed for the shit that happens to their class/school#idk. idkidkidkidk. he’s better than me bc i would have joined the league just to crashout#he really does have a heart of gold man#bc the way they keep setting him up to be some kinda villain figure and he pointedly has his eyes set on being a hero#and don’t get me wrong i like izuku but it’s so easy to see that compared to the rest of the class he’s extremely immature#he has the ideals and the courage to want to be a hero but it’s kinda extremely unfair that he’s given the same shot and way more grace than#everyone else bc it’s clear he doesn’t actually have the frame of mind to act effectively#in the same way the others who have been training/using their quirks have#not that he can’t be trained to succeed like they can bc he has the drive and intellect#but it’s no shock that other ua students wouldn’t like the hero course students bc of the attention they get from villains#and in particular how/bc of izuku. and yeah i get that afo would have turn up eventually anyway#but i would hold so much resentment towards deku knowing he basically snuck into the hero courde#then lied about his quirk to everybody including his teacher while everybody else felt the physical and mental repercussions of him#acting but not knowing how to control his power#and to his credit he’s doing the best he can but he’d probably do better faster if other people weren’t lied to about his quirk 😭#that’s still pookie tho… like he’s wrong but i’ll allow it 🫶

You know, only yesterday I found out about Kittywater (Regulus/Umbridge), and honestly, I am not even that surprised—just a little baffled, but not surprised.
#the marauders fandom has nothing but crack ships hammered into it#so not so surprising#I was just a little confused because um it’s umbridge#but not really shocked#the j*gulus shippers hating on it is a little funny tho#acting as if their ship wasn’t also strange at first#anyways I don’t ship it but i have seen some cute fanart#kittywater#regulus arcturus black#dolores umbridge#people’s minds work in such curious ways#also were they actually born the same year? like is it actually canon?

Gojo smiles that smile. The one that curls his lips ever so slightly at the corners, and barely wrinkles his brow as it drags itself upward. The one that taunts with endless questions with no clear answers… with his chin in his palm, his bangs dripping down the tilt of his face, and his dark glasses slipping, too.
“Am I not a nuisance?” he asks, he tests, he trials, waiting for you to stumble, to fall, to berate him for being the spiteful person that he knows very well everyone secretly loves.
Instead, you raise your own brows in question. Inhale, almost in a deep sigh. Then you tilt your chin in and laugh.
“Our lives nearly end every day and you think I find you a nuisance? The people I love have been murdered only for you to ask if you’re the nuisance?” You roll your eyes. “Don’t kid yourself, Satoru. You could never be the problem.”
#gojo#do I tag this as gojo x reader?#truck it#gojo x reader#ego death gojo ego death gojo#I love him but I need to humble him so badly it’s#it’s bc he’s an uneducated man in education#THE WORST KIND#thinking he’s all that everyone pretending he ain’t sh*t when we all know HE IS SH*T#makes me want to hit him with a broom like#the world has real problems I don’t care u want to act all goofy !!!!!#it’s just cuz I’ve been working with kids but like … they do things they think you’ll be mad abt… and when u aren’t mad… they’re shocked#gojo is so like.#I know his tomfoolery is all on purpose even tho he’s genuinely silly and kind at heart#but like… everyone falling for it and kinda not taking him seriously…#I mean I get it a lot of the time but also#where is the ego death… where is the vulnerability… he needs to be ignored#truly I think that’s something that would drive him INSANE#am I explaining this correctly?#like I just process him so differently than everything I read#which doesn’t make all that bad but like… I need the combo. the nuisance.

John Fetterman’s turnaround from pro-worker progressive to psuedo-Republican voting for MAGA cabinet nominees and cozying up to Trump is truly bizarre - like it’s not the most important thing going on atm, but right now we could really use Democrats who don’t abandon the party as soon as things get tough. I hope Pennsylvania gets to vote for a sincere progressive Senator next time around.
#john fetterman#like on the one hand am I *shocked* that the guy whose brand is wearing hoodies and acting tough has conservative views? no#but at the same time he seemed like the real deal… he was very pro worker… but like abandoned the party immediately#when things started going the other way :/#it’s giving bernie bros who voted trump in 2016#don’t love it#us politics#mine

I’m actually reading over my own shit back and asking myself IS big mama a groomer?
No I don’t think she is. That’s not her deal. She’s nice, maybe she’s too nice, and obviously far too rich, but she’s genuinely helping, she’s genuinely good at it. The issue is she’s absolutely got an agenda that no one’s paying attention to. Too much going on to notice. Big mama doesn’t actually do things for free so what’s the real cost? These kids are too traumatized to notice it. Maybe Slash notices it.
It just might really LOOK like she’s a groomer cuz of how much money she has, cuz of how weird her mannerisms are, how overly willing she is to dote on these poor fucking kids even if they can’t pay for her services. She’s clearly rich so that’s too weird. But she found them cuz april knew her, cuz April’s got sooome kind of in with the hidden city, not that she knows it.
That doesn’t mean spending time in her hotel is good for them. That doesn’t mean bad things won’t still happen to them. That doesn’t mean they should trust her fully.
But she’s really good at helping them unpack it all. And they have sooooo much to unpack.
#thinking#big mama#wcs#it’s weird to talk about stuff cuz I know it so intricately but I also don’t#cuz it’s still being unravelled. and at this point this arc is longer than the fucking rest of it but I’m genuinely having fun#that piece was just kind of a way of shocking you guys into seeing the fact I did that lmao#like no you have every right to worry but Raph actually IS okay being treated by her#Leo isn’t WRONG but he’s also. fucking overly anxious#but he has every right to be anxious BECAUSE of how messed up Raph is over splinter#but to be fair big mama keeps asking Raph if he wants to have her act as a buffer for a conversation w their mom and he’s just like NOPE

Oh Christ,

Steadfast belief in restorative justice is psychosis, Grant??
#Like don’t get me wrong I DO agree that Batman’s refusal to kill is intimately linked to that moment in his life!#I DO believe part of him will always be stuck in that alley!#But Batman’s commitment to giving people a chance to do better isn't psychosis???#It’s his decision to be kind despite the alternative making his life a MILLION times easier that makes him a hero#It’s not a compulsion you fuckwit it’s a radical act of compassion and proof of his determination and self-control#You were so close to being good at your job shame on me for having hope for one second#Ooc#negativity cw#You’re both wrong how about that!!#It’s an essential element to him being a super rich white dude in a place of privilege trying to lead by example for a better world#Real shock that two of the most prominent white voices in comic entertainment don’t want to talk about that tho color me been knew
