Happy birthday Jason Todd. 🎂

[dinobirdi]

Red Robin and Batman (Dick or Bruce? You decide)

[dinobirdi]

So I've been reading jaybins time in detective comics, and OH MY GOSH HE IS ADORABLE!!!! like, he's all smiles and cape!!!! Also, batman definitely has piqued my interest, so Im probably gonna read past jaybins time.

Pictures + observations v

Look at him!!! All cape and smiles!!!

These two pages are so fundamental to Jason as a character because these are his expectations for Bruce: his greatest fear and what he is willing to do, which is shown in Batman: Under the Hood. In the first page, even though Batman doesn't tell him that his greatest fear is losing Jason, he still sees that Batman will fight through everything to save him. In the second page, Jason stops Batman from killing the joker because he is overtaken with rage. This sets up his expectations that Batman is willing to cross the line for those he loves. This sets up the moment on Under the Hood, where Jason is mad at Batman for not avenging his death because of what he saw Batman do during his time as Robin. However, deep down, I think Jason knows of his and others impact on Batman as Robin, that he changed Batman for the better and that because of them, Batman definitely won't cross the line.

Holy shit I just wrote an analysis (not a very good one tho lol >u< )

Anyways, this is all based on observation as a new fan. I have not read much batman comics (Im working on it), so this view will probably change. I have read almost all Jason todd comics, and I will be tackling Tim comics next.

Lmk if you have anything to say, I'd love to learn more.

I just realized I never posted my cosplay.

I made the helmet with cardboard from Costco, and the eyepiece is stolen from a Spiderman mask (yes, I can see, it's like sunglasses). The reason it's so shiny/plastic like is cos there 4-5 coats of clear spray paint .

The rest of the cosplay is from my closet.

anyways i just love the way kpop demon hunters stayed true to its roots in korean/asian culture, especially around the core theme of community vs individualism

the fact that it's not a single chosen one but a group of three

the fact that the honmoon is not powered by the hunters themselves but by the energy and love of the fans

the fact that gwi-ma turns people into demons by promising that he is the only one who can help them when he is in fact reliant on his army of demons to collect souls for him

the fact that "your idol" is about surrendering yourself to a single higher power while "golden" is about soaring to new heights together

the fact that gwi-ma preys on people's individual insecurities and shame to get inside their heads while rumi, mira, and zoey set them free in the end by encouraging them to embrace their differences and reminding them that they're not alone

the fact that you can see the audience cheering individually and even pushing into each other to get closer to the stage during "your idol"

while they're linking arms and cheering together and hugging during "what it feels like"

i have not seen the live action lilo and stitch but it feels like that movie sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from kpop demon hunters as a case study for how to tell a story in way that is culturally authentic and still resonates with a broader audience

and i think given that the core theme of the movie is all about community over individualism, the ending, particularly as it relates to rumi and jinu's budding romance, is really the perfect culmination of that broader theme

rumi and jinu's connection has all the hallmarks of that all-encompassing, all-consuming, borderline co-dependent first love where you keep your relationship a secret and sneak out of the house to meet up and feel like the other person is the ONLY person who really gets you

i'm the only one who can understand you, i'm the only one who will love you is the kind of thing that sounds romantic when you're 16 until you get older and realize how toxic it actually is and i love that the movie counters that in "what it sounds like" with rumi realizing that she had that love and support all along from her girls, and later, from the fans who continue to cheer them on through their comeback

it's about connection and sisterhood and love and sharing your fears and lifting each other up and becoming stronger and better together

and as compelling as i found rumi/jinu and as much as i would like to see their relationship explored more in a sequel/series, i just really love that this movie, which is clearly targeted at young women, ends on the message that romantic love is not the end all be all, that friendship is just as important if not more so than a romantic partner, that single women can lead successful, fulfilling lives, that true happiness and freedom start from within

it's crazy that this message still seems revolutionary in 2025 but given the current state of the world, it feels more necessary than ever
