“You always have earphones on.”

“Live in reality a little bit.”

If I could, I would, 

But my mind is too loud;

And music seems like only remedy.

Happy aromantic awareness week to my boy Leo Valdez, a character that was not intended to be aromantic, but somehow fits the role perfectly, i have never felt so seen and validated by a fictional character and my whole heart belongs to him, i don't get how he has so many lines that describe my experience and i will forever love him for that

You write aro-spec characters who are lonely and sad because you're aphobic and think that's how all aro-specs end up. I write aro-spec characters who are sad and lonely because I am an aro-spec who is sad and lonely. We are not the same

Stating this Sunday, February 16, 2025

Happening on the first week after Valentine's Day of each year – February 16 to 22 – Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week is a time to bring more awareness to and show support for those who identify as aromantic.

Artwork credit to @infiniteorangethethird who gave me permission to use it last year but tragically we missed the chance to use it in our big post, using it for a side one instead! I hope they still feel okay with it, if not don’t hesitate to contact us and ask to get it swapped out!!

MY BOY JASON TODD I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

Something something Jason projects his child self onto the kids he saves

[alowrites-sometimes]

I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR, they acting like actual siblings heals my soul

a gift for the lovely @foerchen for making me love these two so much<333 we got jay and timmy asleep on the subway and two times jason is carrying tim (tim is also sleepy in the second one, not angst this time :p)

i also love the idea that sometimes they’ll wear regular clothes over their suits for comfort/ out of laziness

edit: A FIC! thanks so much @foerchen

you dont get it, the fact that Damian and Jason struggle with the "no killing" rule is so personal to me cause they are basically the same person in my mind and it makes so much sense given their backgrounds and I just love to think that out of Bruce's children they (Jason and Damian) really get along cause they understand each other perfectly in more than one sense

[alowrites-sometimes]

Dick: I don’t think Jason is happy with you

Tim: Why do you say that?

Dick, reading a letter aloud: 'Dear Replacement, I hope this letter finds you before I do’

the day a batman movie has an actual conversation instead of a fight between Bruce and one of his children is the day I will be completely happy, cause WHY WAS BRUCE HITTING DAMIAN LIKE HE WASN'T 10 YEARS OLD???

Penelope of Sparta remains unphased by her husband's war crimes.

THIIIIS, it's good that they wanna do something with this, but they could have done it before, take the “risk" (not a real risk cause people obviously love this story) and don't do it just for the money they think they'll make

the people who made arcane are making a penelope movie and now Christopher Nolan is making an oddesy adaptation 💀

I have such mixed feelings about it. It’s sort of pissing me off that epic proved to the media execs that there’s still interest in the Odyssey because FUCK OF COURSE THERE IS, THERE’S A REASON IT SURVIVED ORAL STORYTELLING, ITS BECAUSE IT HITS PEOPLE IN AN EXTREMELY HUMAN AND UNIVERSAL PLACE BECAUSD THE ENTIRE STORY IS CENTERED ARUND YEARNING, and the fucking media executives never had that fucking idea by themselves in their capitalism rot lizard brains, they had to see that there was fucking MONEY TO BE MADE in this rightfully universally loved story. I’m so pissed off. THEY ONLY PICKED THE STORY UP AFTER SOMEONE ELSE PROVED THAR THERE WAS STILL MONEY TO BE MADE.

of course I trust the people who made arcane. And, jesus fucking christ, because what the fuck??? Jorge is one guy. He made a musical, and it went viral, but he really is one lucky guy and a cast of artists. I know that the people actually doing the work for the show are artists too, but all the money is gonna be given to the fucking CEOs.

my main gripe with this is how late stage capitalism it all feels. the idea makers never even consider to go back to this thousand year old tale because they think about other humans so little to realize that maybe something that’s been resonating with people for 4-5,000 years will STILL RESONATE WITH PEOPLE. They only had the idea to make more adaptations for it when an individual artist proved there was still MONEY TO BE MADE. i’m fucking pissed.

[alowrites-sometimes]

I hate how perfectly done this musical is, I can't understand it, Jorge you are a genius

aLSO I realised in ‘odysseus’ when telemachus makes his entrance the legendary motif plays but in odysseus’ and penelope’s instrument because he’s their kid.

jorge, when I catch you-

anyway, still in shambles over this haha

I mean, they thought he didn't know his own palace when he BUILT IT, the disrespect

Can we please appreciate Odysseus being a silent stalker in the shadows, taking out suitors with his bow, not deigning to speak to them as he takes them out one by one

until some of them go "we have to strike him in the darkness too! we know the halls of this palace! the odds can be tilted!"

and Odysseus, built this palace with his very hands, has to step out of the shadows like "are you this fucking stupid"

I was watching young justice and Jason appeared...

I LOVE THIS DESIGN SO MUCH AHDNAGSKA idk why I find it so cool, but it's so amazing (he has a literal red hood!!! I love it)

Also, baby Damian AJFMAJDKAJ look at his eyes, he's so cute and small, love him
