justice, justice
it is somewhere ahead
just out of sight
around the bend in the arc of the universe
close enough to dream of
but too far to see
let alone to touch
or to hold
we have been chasing this
(this dream;
this hope;
this future)
for lifetimes
yet still
it escapes us
~
I am not, by nature, a hunter
my vision is poor
my heart is weak
and my legs tire easily
yet the quarry is out there
somewhere just ahead
I shall not give up
the pursuit

Coming soon - Event Horizon: How far will you go in pursuit of Justice!
Call it a tag. Call it a tease. Call it a come on. Call it what you will, but it’s a hook to get you, the reader interested. I’ve been learning to include them in my marketing. the idea is to pique your interest. Here’s a few: Novel title: The Cross and the Badge. Tagline: What’s the point in coming Home when Home ain’t Home anymore. Novel title: Life on Mars. Tagline: Momma always told you…

I think - in some hypothetical, other Batman story where Harvey is the primary Big Bad - the unveiling of Bruce being Batman would be what defeats him. No takedown, no dying, no getting beat down. Just the concept of his best friend also being his worst enemy would fuck with his sense of duality. It would bring him to a psychological lock.
But obviously he has already put the pieces together beforehand, even before he became Two-Face, through several means.
And then they kiss or something, IDK.
Don't look too long or you'll notice the animation mistakes, but it's a learning process and we ball IG.
#Bruhhh. These DID NOT come out the way I intended. But I wanna move on to something else so... here.#Harvey can't kill a man who's been dead since his childhood.#How can he.#He knows a thing or two about masks. And to him Bruce Wayne is the mask. Not Batman.#Bruce pursues justice as obsessively as Harvey. They're just on different spectrums.#Dramatic rooftop escapades. My beloved.#harvey dent#bruce wayne#batman#two face#fanart#dc comics#gifs#reginalususart

just finished shido’s palace in persona 5…………..devastated beyond repair
#the fact that your confidant maxes out with akechi in the final moments of his life#as you tell him you kept his glove and his word#“i was such a fool” top 10 most gut wrenching last words right alongside sayaka miki’s#characters of justice…..characters who pursue their own blind justice and get corrupted along the way……..#you have my heart#the va delivered like the rent was DUE#watching him slowly break down as his sanity chipped away bit by bit in real time was so fucking heartbreaking#“why does someone like you have things i don’t?” stop it before i cry really hard (i did cry very hard)#miserably failed in not crying#if he isn’t alive i’m going to fucking end it all i KNOW he’s alive it couldn’t have ended like this (<- delusion)#p5

if you apply terms used to describe actions conducted exclusively by the state (e.g. death penalty) or most frequently by authorities and/or people working for those authorities using the state’s monopoly over the legitimate use of force if not their official say-so (e.g. extra-judicial murder) to criminals, defined as such by their ‘criminality’ (a status bestowed to them by the state b/c they have broken the state’s law/s + are now anathema to that state), please know that I think you are stupid <3.
#I deserve compensation for how many times someone has said 2000s JT (a criminal. pursued by the state + the state’s adjuncts the bats for#his criminality) is performing the death penalty or extrajudicial murder. 🙄 laughably bad take borne from capeshit working as intended#extrajudicial murder is distinct from murder b/c it’s typically conducted by state authorities!!! that’s why it’s a different word.#why am I explaining basic sociology terms. go read a textbook. Wikipedia it. stop subjecting me to this nonsense.#it can be applied to particular circumstances where civilians utilise their social power to launch ‘mob justice’ without the authorization#of the state whose legitimacy to kill they are appropriating.#+ it may be applied to non-state actors/organisations who function as quasi-states in a given territory.#Black Mask might be considered to have approached this after War Games given his monopoly over the organised crime scene. but it’s#complicated since the state (+ their unofficial adjunct Batman) still operates in the area#+ declares who is + is not a criminal.#extrajudicial refers to actions taken without the official permission of the legal system (implicitly on its behalf by agents working within#it). this legal system differs from place to places#s=.#JT does not work for the state or on behalf of Gotham’s central authority in UTRH when he is killing people.#JT is not an EJM in UTRH. + he certainly isn’t elsewhere b/c he never attains that kind of territorial power again.#my textpost

#i found by amber run and the gabriel and carlos of it all !!!! this has been a wip since last year since the finale and i was dying to edit#it you don't understand!!!!! but i had to wait for more scenes and I'm still waiting for the storyline to wrap and i might wait for the#whole season to wrap. like tell me the lyrics of 'And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be. Right in front of me. Talk some sense to#me' isn't owen being the father figure carlos didn't expect stopping him from making a grave mistake. tell me 'and I'll use you as a focal#point. so I don't lose sight of what I want' isn't carlos with his grieving rage that guides him into action to pursue justice for his#family. isn't him not losing sight of tk in all of this because that's his anchor in life.#anyway i can't wait to work on this and share it :')))#wip#amber run

Okay wait. Matt Murdock catholic vs. Nathan Ford catholic. They're just similar enough to piss each other off to a wild degree
#''i gotta disregard the law to pursue justice“#“the seal of confession means you can't use me confessing these crimes in a court of law''#but also they'd hate each other so much#daredevil#leverage#intrusive heartbeats

i will never get over the imagery of clea's axon directly mirroring atlas in greek mythology. the hauler and the bearer of the heavens, both monikers being near identical in meaning. how atlas has become synonymous with strength and resilience for carrying out his punishment for all of eternity. and that's exactly what clea does too, isn't it? she endures, not because she wants to, but because she has to. condemned to a role she never chose, she shoulders this burden alone, the weight of the world on her back. i think this makes her endless tower dialogue all the more compelling. she wants alicia to have a life free from their parents’ expectations. she wants her to live on her own terms, instead of letting others dictate what she should do. the hypocrisy is glaring, given clea has never once done that. she has always wanted to do right by the dessendre name, to be the perfect eldest daughter to such a respectable family. anything to impress aline and renoir, to make them proud. this misplaced belief that their love is conditional, that she has to earn it or worse yet, to cull parts of herself for their benefit. it’s too late for her to alter this trajectory, she's in too deep, her path is set in stone. but alicia can still choose differently, she can be selfish and choose herself, just like clea wishes she could have done.
#* ⠀ … ⠀ ( headcanons. ) ⠀ ˊˎ-#back on my eldest daughter syndrome bs#you could also argue that some of those responsibilities are self-inflicted#that she doesn't need to pursue the writers#but i genuinely believe she doesn't see any other alternatives#this is the only tangible solution - the only way to actually get justice for what happened to her brother#something no one else seems to be concerned with#she becomes so consumed with vengeance that the grief becomes secondary#crying about verso won't bring him back but finding those responsible for his death is the next best thing

Aa4 is special in so many ways but what really stuck to me was that it's mainly a game about young adults navigating their respective careers and i specifically adore that
#apollo justice#ace attorney#aa4#ema skye#klavier gavin#they're on different paths on their careers as well#apollo is a complete newbie#ema's career (kinda) shifted into something she didn't particularly pursue#klavier balancing both his rock stardom and him being a prodigy prodecutor#all of them at different points in their careers#even in their close ages#but they made it work regardless

Which is Your Morality Alignment?

ESCA: True Neutral
You view the world in an unbiased manner, acting mostly on either your own self interest or on the best objective course. This can mean you enjoy creating balance between all forces, meaning you may do actions that involve Good as well as Evil, respecting authority like Lawful with the skepticism of Chaotic; or, you may simply draw your line in the sand, and go your separate way. This develops you into the archetypal "on-the-fence" person.

SEYUN: Chaotic Good
You have a sound moral compass, helping those in need, though tend to see rules as suggestions (or, in some cases, limitations). Hence, you mostly confront oppression in all its forms, be it some dark overlord or the school bully, while you simultaneously may run into trouble with authority. Not that you particularly mind, for you believe that freedom is the ultimate good, mirroring the archetypal "rebel hero".

Thank you for the tag @osric-giroux-ffxiv! ⊹˚.◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜ Tagging: @tsunael // @sasslett // @ubejamjar // @ahollowgrave // and anyone else who'd like to do this! i feel shy about tagging people after being so inactive for so long ouagh Link to the quiz is here!
#tagged tag#wol: esca#wol: seyun#dusting her off a bit more#these both kind of fit#normally i find true neutral to be a boring alignment#but for esca i suppose it works#she's more prone to observing how situations will play out#rather than intervening one way or another#unless she can benefit somehow#not wanting to tip the scale in either direction necessarily#and she does pursue justice but not always lawful justice#meanwhile seyun is generally a Good(tm) character in terms of alignment#though as the description suggests she is not always great at following rules or obeying laws in order to do Good Things#so there we have it

carlos' eyes in the meeting room........ carlos' eyes at the hospital..... at the IC room..... his guts are boiling with hot rage!!! this very stubborn hope. it's in the clench of his jaw since the funeral. the lump in his throat that he swallows back every time because that's how the gut-wrenching vestige of murder that hasn't received its justice yet feels like."i see it now. the eyes.." because that's the glimpse of the resolute unswerving gabriel in him that echos 'if there are tears to weep we do it when the time comes, not before'. you grief but you don't get defeated when there is still work to do in order to rest in that grief. and GODDD carlos is so righteously resolved about getting there. i want him so so bad to solve the case. finally bring that retribution and avenge his family and himself. he's been in the waxing and waning throes for too long he only deserves the purgation and finality of it more than anything!!!!!
because no way all of this relentless endeavour and sharp stubborn wit would culminate to anything but cracking it. even storytelling wise that would be disheartening not to bring it to its desired ends. because imagine. all this time carlos was so right about the rangers from the start. then he looped in. was kept so close under their wing. and then he now realises that he wasn't really truly '''stuck''' but he was trapped and misled instead and it's all tumbling down now over their heads and he's seeing through the cracks. finally the darkness makes sense and he can move in action through the pinnacle and into the resolution!!!
#i have deeper problems with takes that invalidate how important this is to carlos because it sees that letting go has equal psychological.#moral and emotional outcomes to pursuing justice and you shall be just fine after abandoning it after a certain amount of time as if that's#also not part of your life. it doesn't set right with me at all and I'd like to talk more about#like damn i know it's JUST A SHOW!! but every bit of me aligns with carlos' moral clarity about all of this. how he carries this#responsibility. how he holds himself accountable for the mistake he made when he wasn't seeing clear. how he doesn't back down but#simultaneously lives his life. getting married. being present in his marriage and trying to do better when he needs to (and i also have#issues with the disjointed and often contradictory storytelling here)#I just like to watch a story about justice winning because you didn't soften on injustice. because the path of this compelling instinct has#a price after all. i'll hate it so much if he didn't catch him at the end. or didn't at least reach a satisfying closure. I'll hate the#throwing of all of this into the unknown — to pacify it instead of treating it properly.#especially when that's a show about this exactly — the job!!! — these characters have the authority and the tools that allows them to#accomplish the mission. more or less#carlos reyes#911ls#5x08

doctor gorey save me
#my art#tgaac#dgs2#maria gorey#girls with no concept of personal space or common boundaries#'why are you still alive' girl idk i'm sorry i guess#i love not doing lineart btw i love turning my cleaned sketch darker and calling it a day#i haven't done like this kind of shading in a longass time so forgive me if it looks funky#i just wanted to share this since i haven't posted art in 50 billion years#i've done plenty of sketching but idk if people wanna see that#i am a big fan of maria gorey in ways i can't word very well#but i think what it comes down to is the autism and desire to be better than her mother#but still loving and respecting her so much#taking her ideals and skills and using them to pursue the truth and ultimately justice#also the making plushies to practice on and being so very inexpressive#the mask comes ON in moments of uncertainty#she just wants friends!! it was fun for her to have visitors#she's just a little silly like that
