jason todd did have a point. dc seems to be afraid of batman being wrong ever but his son honestly does have a point as the red hood. "stop selling all drugs ever" is never ever ever going to work in a million years no matter how scary batman makes himself, and jason knows that because he grew up in crime alley, but "stop selling drugs to children or i'll personally ensure your head ends up in a duffel bag"? much more actionable goals

After a mission…

Dick: I can’t wait to go home, have a bowl of cereal, and go to sleep.

Duke: Lucky, I have patrol in like, two hours. No sleep for me. What’re you going to do when you get home, Jason?

Dick: Wait! Let me guess. Crack open a beer, order in Chinese food, and fall asleep on the couch watching a gritty action movie.

Jason, fully planning on having a lavender scented bubble bath while drinking vanilla earl grey tea and watching Pride and Prejudice: … Something like that.

All day tired 🧎‍♂️

suddenly struck with thoughts about the devastating concept of Jason Todd

because he was good. because he had a bleeding heart despite every reason not to. he loved school and was good at it. he was the first to be adopted, with little pretense of guardianship. he did everything he could to be a perfect Robin and live up to an impossible ideal. he only ever wanted Bruce and Dick to like him.

because he met Bruce in the same place and on the same day that Bruce's parents died--the single defining moment of Batman's existence. and he made Batman laugh. he hit the Dark Knight, Terror of Gotham, with a tire iron. he wasn't afraid of the man who turned fear into a weapon.

because he couldn't save his mother from herself, but he tried. because he was too good not to try and save the woman who gave him up. too good to play the Joker's game. the crowbar didn't kill him, the bomb did. he died knowing he wouldn't make it and tried anyway. he died a hero.

because other Robins have died, but none of them put an irrevocable tear in the mythos of Batman. because Jason Todd always dies, in every universe. he dies for the sins of his father. he was put to death by popular vote, sacrificed by the crowd. doomed by the narrative and doomed by the audience. the boy who only ever tried to prove he was good enough--wasn't good enough.

because he has every reason to be angry. because he didn't ask to be murdered, didn't ask to be brought back, and when he did everyone acted like he was better off dead. Bruce tried to kill him and nearly succeeded. he's blamed for his own death and blamed for his resurrection. he can never come home because the house is haunted by his own ghost.

because he's been the hero, the victim, and the villain. because his family and his writers and his universe don't know what to make of him. they don't know how to look his tragedy in the eye. and how can you?

it hurts to look at the hero who cannot be good enough, the victim who will only ever be angry, the villain who can sometimes be right. the audience hates to feel complicit and, in this exceptional case, they are.

Batman Eternal #10

[solarphase1]

The Batman makes Gotham a less safe city simply be existing within it and I want to be proven wrong. I NEED to be wrong - I beg you to try.

My arguments include: Not offing the Joker (or LEAVEING HIM OFFED for that matter) along with making himself a litetal and actual target and a draw for crime and violence, this includes those close to him who become involved (those who often see much more of the consequences than he does) ((and yes I know most of the bat vigilante squad wanted to be there, but they were kids. The adult is being called into question here))

Admitted Counter Points include his good intentions and his honest code, along with his undeniable honor and respect for life

However ... isn't he a little bit the villain? Anyways, here lies the ramblings of a lunatic

Sebastian makes ASRM tiktoks and you're only mad bc I'm not wrong

[solarphase1]

In which I invite you to join me in my fall to madness as I unravel the deep occult roots of stardew valley-

What we know:

Yoba created the world from light by turning the light into soil the eye of the vortex into a seed which was then sewn and fruited. The world was the fruit which Yoba picked and peeled from its tough rind.

An item containing an inverted Symbol of the Vessel can grant invulnerability, but at the cost of mortality (turns you undead)

The anglo-saxon Ear rune attributed to Yoba (the sign of the vessel) means both “earth” and “grave”

Sign of the vessel is found in domestic rooms, places of worship, and gravestones

Gravestone decorated with the Symbol of the Vessel is displayed during hallows eve festival.

Yoba is believed to be a protector from dark energy

George says he is not religious, but still visits the shrine every Sunday

Robin is religious

So is Demetrius, but perhaps not as strictly

Emily is very religious

Caroline and Pierre are not religious and did not build the altar room. It was built by a previous owner, but they leave it for the townsfolk to use.

Jodi is religious, maybe out of desperation

Krobus is heavily religious. While a friendly monster, he also considers hostile monsters friends.

Monsters can worship Yoba

Krobus will sell you a Symbol of the Vessel totem, but once obtained no one will buy it back from you.

If you place this totem by a fish pond, it will track the type and number of fish within

Yoba can grant magical powers (such as teleportation) through prayer and may grant immunity against monsters ONLY through a holy ring. The lower your health, the more likely Yoba is to shield you

Shane is an atheist

Clara was religious. (“do not worry, I am with Yoba now” letter)

The only remains of holy text are only “highlights” from the original Yoba text

The original "Book of Yoba" is missing, hidden, or stolen

A Symbol of the Vessel shirt may be crafted with solar essence, presumably essence from the original light which created the universe in The Beginning.

Monsters produce solar essence

Everyone in the village dislikes solar essence as a gift EXCEPT the wizard who loves it

Mystery notes appear in the farm mailbox which encourage the farmer to trek deeper and deeper into the mines

More of Geraskier pirates or something -

“Who are you, anyways?”

His captain and captor peered at him under a too-big jeweled crown, lounging upon the day's hoard. The question was flat, but his eyes were curious. The moonlight reflected first from the water’s surface, then second off of the gold and jewels. It bounced around Jaskier in all directions, and he looked truly in that moment, and for the first time since Geralt had seen him, like he may not be entirely human after all.

“A sailor from Rivia. As I told you before.” Geralt hummed the response regarding the other from where he was still bound to the mast.

“Except you aren’t Rivian. Wrong accent.”

Jaskier stood, gold clinking with the movement, and within a few steps crouched down to eye level while displaying something in his hand with a small flourish.

“And these are letters of Marque, from your coat. Which, I’m guessing, makes you about the poorest bounty hunter of the era,” his eyes narrowed, with curiosity rather than malice, “you don’t even get the bounty.”

Yellow eyes leveled him cooly at the accusation, “Sailor.”

“Privateer,” Jaskier tucked the papers away once again, standing to full height. “And you’re not human either. So what in the devil are you?”

The man did not give an answer for a while, pondering something. Perhaps wondering if he should lie. Then, after a moment -

“Witcher.”

Immediately Jaskier scoffed a disbelieving laugh. “No,” a finger wag and disapproving chuckle, “witchers don’t exist.”

He was met only with a flat, blank, unwavering and…truthful stare. And silence. He stared at Geralt a moment in that silence before sputtering back to life with breathy denial.

“No, no - you are most certainly not going to sit there and look at me as though I’m the one being ridiculous here. Sure, you’re a Witcher, that should be simple enough considering the only standing Mythos - the mere MYTH of Witchers - is, what, 2000 years old??”

“So you do know your history.”

“Mythology,” the captain corrected as he ceased his pacing and looked, really looked at the strange man. A moment of thoughtful silence. Something wary, something fearful behind blue eyes. “Prove it.”

“Untie me.”

“Ah, so that's it then,” He was back to banter, “quite a flimsy escape plan I really must say I’ve heard better - HAH - silly Jaskier, almost falling for the ‘I’m a Witcher,’ play, oldest move in the book…” His little monologue teeters out as he falls back on his pile of gold.

“What am I going to do with you? The Not-Witcher from Not-Rivia…”

[solarphase1]

Geraskier as pirates or something

“Ship ahead, Captain!” The call came from the first mate, seeming to have made its way ear-to-ear from the crow’s nest.

“Ahh, splendid~ Seems our new found, foul-lipped little friend gets an answer in rather auspicious timing and now - while I am a most ambitious planner of grandiose-” the incessant silken voice simply would not stop as the lithe man sauntered about the bow, coming to a poised halt grinning over the rails  - “even I could not have planned it better.”

Even as he spoke, some sort of knowing came over the crew. All but the two holding Geralt began shuffling about, a handful of men fetching glass jars from somewhere on the ship and others taking the malleable salve within up and into their ears. 

The hands restraining the man to his knees exchanged without ever presenting an opportunity for easy escape as his two previous captors took their lot of the wax, as up closer he could tell it was wax indeed. 

A humorless chuckle, “Sirens?” He peered up at the captain through white strands, “There are no sirens in these waters, that’s common knowledge to every ship and crew. It seems your reputation has oversold you.” 

The man at the helm grinned through his response, readying a lute in his hands. “Perhaps, Geralt of Rivia, those crews should know better.”

Something else no one talks about enough - Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl was the TRAIL BLAZIER of 2 and a half hour movies and ALSO the single most PERECT movie ever made.

Marvel ain't shit. Pirates did it first.

[solarphase1]

Some of yall overlooking season 1 Jaskier. In the episode we meet him(or so, I think), his WHOLE perspective of elves gets turned on its head, he is able to find respect and understanding for them and STILL writes "toss a coin." And in response to Geralt's criticism, he responds "respect doesn't make history" in just the most sad but accepting way, before sauntering away and continuing his song.

This man was never quite the pure cinnamon roll we make believe. He was cynical to begin with, and I just feel like not enough people realize or talk about that.

i cant remember/find the post, but there was one that was like “dramatic twiyor reveal except they instantly freak out about leaving anya alone” and. yeah. i agree
