I’m not a BruceBabs shipper but people who get so scandalized by it or any other non-DickBabs ships are so annoying. And it’s usually Oracle fans who think the only people only like something else is because they are anti Babs. Babs used to be married to Bruce in the Superman universe and has even dated Clark Kent. They were literally only 3-4 years apart compared to Barbara and Dick who are 6-7 years apart and Barbara was literally older than Talia al Ghul at one point. DickBabs always is held to like this moral standard but honestly to me it’s like the writers settled for the the most boring and safest option which sucks because I wish that the one canonically disabled wheelchair user that DC has would have had a grand romance but yet… like it grates on me that when fans talk about reasons to like DickBabs it is because it’s a disabled woman in a relationship but like she would be a disabled woman in a relationship in whatever relationship she was in because she is a disabled woman. I don’t care for DickBabs and I honestly don’t even care for the age gap like let Babs have a younger guy and have fun, but the ship itself is just boring to me. Anybody else but that please.

i think the biggest mistake was to downgrade babs down to a dick’s contemporary when there were a hundred other ways (albeit none of them even slightly appropriate 😂) to get to the dickbabs agenda, but like, none of it was leveraged…. it’s always irked me, personally, bc there was nothing cookie cutter about their romance to begin with, and there were multiple layers of complexity that didn’t directly involve bruce getting between them, but i feel like in the current era, most of what made them dickbabs even remotely complex was straight up eliminated and or sterilized…. For what? for dick and barbara to be each other’s halal soulmate? forgive my language, but their relarionship’s entire conception was haram 😂 erasing and downplaying what made their relationship ‘theirs’ does nothing but diminish their personal histories and the fact that they each literally brought out the worst in each other at times.

and it’s not to say either are or were perfect. they are not. they are so fucked up i have to actually laugh bc they are both my mentally ill babus and i truly wish dc creative slt could SEE that they can be their best weirdo selves WITHOUT falling into the trap of reducing them to the kind of couple conservatives love to tout as “true love” when we know the only true love in dc comics is kon el and bart allen. also, break dickbabs up 5ever!

and ur absolutely right that babs deserves her fun! personally, i think brubabs is the answer to freeing selina kyle from all the straight woman allegations (i would like her to peacefully fuck other men abd women for at least ten years without hearing a single word about broose) and barbara from the dick-is-your-soulmate garbage. reality is that dickbabs has been as bust as dickkory for the last nine million years (as much as i love dickkory muah muah). one of my biggest critiques of dc comics writing is that motherfuckers cant commit to a character development point for their life. we were over both dickkory and dickbabs in 2010. not bc people didn’t enjoy their ships, but bc the writing staffs went out of their way to slander every single character. i recently saw a post that dickkory only looks good in elseworlds stories cuz the main comic runs fucked his ass UP. and i agree! the same should be applied to dickbabs, bc they lost their appeal eons ago as well. they want nightwing’s ass ate so damn bad, they need to get him a new girlfriend. a boyfriend, even! but leave babs and kory out of it 😭😭😭

Inshallah, hopefully dc creative SLT will understand the great fuckup they’re committing these days. if i cant get brubabs, i would like to see barbara go on a lil date with one of the many beautiful men and women in gotham. if she slept with selina, i would support it.

I don’t think it’s so ooc to portray Chuck traveling a lot since Bass Industries seems to be such a massive company. That he doesn’t do so in canon, doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have to do it in the future, even if he wants to do things differently than Bart. But I don’t think he’s a monster for it, or that it means he doesn’t care about Blair or their family. It just doesn’t bother me that Dair fics use this headcanon as a device to make Dan and Blair to reconnect with each other, but I’m biased to talk about this, since I grow to enjoy dair with the time, even if I still like chair a lot. Considering many of these are Chuck-bashing, I can see why you decided to point it out though. You’re right about Waldorf designs demanding the same things from Blair, and that’s something I’d like to be acknowledged more often in fics.

hi!! so I realise now that my original post was kinda just a stream of consciousness and I didn't really expand on certain points, so ty for allowing this to be a dialogue instead of just disagreeing or something 🫶🏻 I do think that obviously chuck would need to travel at times, just that based on canon he wouldn't need to travel to the extent he's portrayed to in these kinds of fics (also I just wanna be clear that as a hardcore chair fan I'm not actively seeking these fics out, I've just accidentally clicked on some which go in that direction and is what prompted the og post in the first place) and he would place his family first based on his character arc. my main issue as u said is that a lot of what it's used for is chuck-bashing and, look, if u don't like chuck that's fine I'm not gonna say everyone has to like him I get that. what I have an issue with is taking this idea of him working away and escalating it into him not being around for his family and not caring about them, or being straight up neglectful of them. and I'm not saying every fic with this premise does that, just that if u hate chuck that's one thing, but portraying him as an absent or awful father just to attack him seems extreme to me. like if u hate him that much don't write about him and don't bring children into ur chuck-bashing bc he's canonically a good father nothing can change that. ty for agreeing about waldorf designs I don't see why blair is shown waiting around being sad like even if chuck was away on work she has her own work to do, she's not a housewife and bc of that she'd understand him having to go away. I don't think it would be this huge conflict for them bc she knows better than anyone how demanding running an international business is, so to me it wouldn't split them up. would she be annoyed at times if he had to go away for a prolonged period of time? of course, but bc she says 3 hours apart from him is too much not bc she thinks he's putting his work above her. if she did think that then they'd probably have a conversation about it. my further thoughts on their work/life balance should probably be in another post lol but I just wanted to say that everyone can write what they want I know that, but I think it's interesting how chuck gets mischaracterised so regularly still just to put a ship together even though he was developed so much within the show

[miss-choco-chips]

Umm... I was wondering if you could Maybe do a follow up on your mini fic Last Line from dicks pov? It gave me alot of feelings and i would love to see the fallout?

Your work is really good! Its so cool how your brave enough to put pieces of yourself out there for other people!

Hey babe! Thank you for your kind words! It made me smile getting this, you are very sweet <3

I totally forgot about Last Line lol, but when I saw it reminded me that I actually wrote a bit more of it, both before and after the scene I posted. So, this isn’t exactly what you asked, but here’s some backstory and then the fallout!

---.---

Four years old, and he watches the red string on his finger pulled taunt towards the crying boy, the color of the thread well disguised among the red blood of the murdered acrobats.

Nine, and he watches from the shadows as it swings right and left, following Robin’s pirouettes from building to building. The thread, that usually goes a few feet before ‘vanishing’ from sight, was almost completely visible now, at such a short distance from the person holding onto its other end.

He’s on his twelve when he tries to explain to Dick the importance of him going back home. He wasn’t sure of his success, even though the older hero took him to the manor, because during his whole speech, Nightwing hadn’t looked up from the red joining them together. It wasn’t exactly how Tim wanted him to find out, but… Batman needed a Robin, and he was out of options.

At fourteen, he feels Kon’s hand clenching on his shoulder, as they both watch from the side how Nightwing swept Barbara off her feet and twisted her around, laughter falling from both their lips even as Dick thread’s end was pointing towards Tim. The third Robin didn’t turn to look at his best friend, didn’t meet Bart’s eyes or react to Cassie taking his hand on hers. He just made sure his face was perfectly devoid of any emotion when he muttered, low enough only a kryptonian would hear, ‘I wish it was any of you’. 

(A few nights later, when he and Conner were sitting quietly on the Tower’s roof, the clone took Tim’s hand with his own, his lack of red string blatantly obvious as he said ‘If I had any, I wish it could be you’. To this day, it’s the sweetest thing anyone ever said to him)

He is so, so tired, and he’s only sixteen. But keeping up with the shitfest that was the Battle for the Cowl, helping Dick while ignoring his red string (pulling him towards Nightwing, now Batman, stark contrast against the dark of his suit, with distracting insistency), dealing with Damian’s abuse as expected of him as the ‘mature, older brother’, coping with Bruce’s death, the shock of Dick throwing him, his soulmate, away so so easily…

(Shouldn't be surprising; Dick had been discarding him in favor of others since they met, shamelessly displaying his various relationships in front of him with an attitude that might be called cruel from anyone else but that just earned him playful shoves from other Leaguers while Tim was expected to swallow his pain, because a red string isn’t a promise, Dick is free… and yes, he knows that, but it doesn’t mean shit to his dying heart)

(Maybe, when he left for proof of Bruce being alive, it wasn’t so much for his old mentor than it was for himself)

----.----

Tim is seventeen and halfway across the world, looking at the string attached to his hand that never truly meant anything to any other than him (not to Bruce, who never took Dick aside and talked to him about consideration with his soul mate; not Dick's conquers, who never gave a fuck  about the red string in the hands that touched their skin, even when a lot of them knew who was on the other end of it; not Dick himself, who after asking every thing out of Tim and having it, forcefully took the one thing Tim wouldn't give by choice and claimed Tim was his equal, his soulmate, so he never could be his sidekick... even if it was the first time ever that Dick even mentioned the string tying them both together), when he thinks 'you were always free; now, I'm freeing myself’.

He gingerly bites on the string, and with his other hand takes a handful of it and pulls.

The pain piercing his heart is expected, but not new. He had been feeling it since the first time he saw Dick's back as he walked away with someone else.

He times it carefully, too. He doesn't think Dick would care, but just in case, Tim waits until it's morning in Gotham, when he's sure Dick is probably sleeping after patrol.

Maybe he would wake up without noticing

---.---

In Gotham, Dick is carried by Alfred and Damian to the cave, when the new Batman's screams of pain woke everyone in the Manor up. They are suspecting cardiac arrest, and then Dick looks down to his hand and notices the string, always tense, signaling him where his north is, where Tim is, laying loose and lifeless.

He panics, asks Superman to track Tim down or something, and when the man confirms Tim is still alive somewhere in the Middle East, he knows.

And like a freight train, the parting words Kori told him the last time they saw each other hit him right in the chest.

"He isn't going to wait for you forever"

----.-----

When Tim does come back, at nineteen, it’s a quiet thing. 

He spent the last how many days carefully setting his systems up, making sure his mainframe would outstand Oracle’s scrutiny when she realized he was back in town and tried to hack her way into his life.

(He didn’t blame her, of course not. Dick was charming enough, good enough, anyone he set his eyes into would be helpless to nothing but fall in his arms.

And, wasn’t Tim the one who would have been intruding, had he tried to chase after the first Robin? Everyone knew he and the original Batgirl were a perfect match, thousands of times better than Tim, whom Fate just wanted to screw over.

But not anymore)

The first thing he did, once the safe houses were chosen and his programs up and running, was to ruthlessly hack into the Batcomputer and take a look at patrol routes. 

He would need to keep clear of Diamond District and Old Gotham, least he risked crossing paths with B and R. The Financial and City Hall Districts were apparently Batgirl’s playground for the night, and if he wanted to drop by and let Cass know he was back, he could always search for her by the Upper West Side down to Chinatown.

He would avoid the Upper East Side like the plague, though. Maybe Coventry too, just to be safe. Lots of skintight blue in that direction.

Which left… Crime Alley, the Bowery and Burnley, mainly. He needn't check to know who’s house that was.

And that’s how he ended, on his very first night back on the streets, dragging Red Hood’s bleeding ass away from a blowing up building.

-----.-----

Apparently, saving a recently rehabilitated murderous vigilante was a bonding experience, because Jason didn’t kick him out of his side of town, nor tell on him. 

He couldn't, however, do anything to prevent the criminal gossip mile from spreading, and before a week had passed, half the city was aware of the new player on the board.

-----.------

Jason was taking a breather, smoking while sitting on his favorite rooftop, when the rustling sound of fabric told him his peace and quiet was over.

“I thought you were back at being N”, he greeted, not bothering to turn around or get up. 

“B was out of town, and Robin needed someone to watch over him during patrol.”

A quick glance around had Hood snorting, “Then y’re doing a shitty job. Don’t see the midget anywhere.”

It would never NOT be weird to hear a strangled laugh coming out of the Bat suit, as tight and humorless as it was now. It seemed big ol Dick wasn’t doing so great tonight.

“Batgirl took him to a party in Diamond District. Gang war.”

He humms in response, not bothering to keep on the smalltalk. N, no, B was here for something, and it wasn’t Jason’s job to ask it out of him; if it was important, he would do it himself.

“Where is him, Hood?”, he finally went to the heart of the matter. 

Jason tilted his head, still looking over his city, unmindful of the steps coming closer to his position, “Robin? Ya just said it, B. Going senile? Gang war, wasn’t it?”

“Don’t play around. You know I mean…”

Oh, yeah, Dickie still wasn’t sure what to call Timbo. Criminal gossip only went so far, for someone who didn’t bother to shout his hero name to everyone he beat up. It was very possible only  Jason was aware of his new monicker. All gothamites knew was a young vigilante showed up recently, wearing red and black and hanging out with the Hood, which immediately upped his street rep to ‘not to be fucked with’.

“Lil red?”, he completed for his older brother, feeling both charitable and petty. Batman’s wince was more evident by the rustling sound of his cape; he had hit a sore spot, hadn’t he? 

“Where? I’m not asking again.”

“Good, ‘cause I’m not answering. Must be ‘roundere somewhere, the little creep.”

“Hood, I’m running out of patience.”

“And I’m out of cigarettes, your point? I don’t have him on a leash asshole. We just share the same hunting space, it’s not like we go home together and do face masks while we talk about feelings.”

They did go to a safespot, though, and share beer and pizza while cursing their relatives and Fate as a whole, but it wasn’t necessary information for the fucker. He just breathed in the last of his smoke before dropping the cigarette butt and stepping on it, stretching as he did.

“Now, any more of this riveting conversation, or can I go? No, wait, it was a rhetorical question; get out of my part of town, ass. I’ve been plenty generous by letting you come this far, but our truce lasts as long as the lot of you don’t build any sandcastles on my playground and you know it. Now, scram.”

He could feel Dick’s reticence at leaving without what he came here for, but Oracle must be talking him into letting it be for tonight, because he didn't push. Jason turned just in the right moment to catch the way Dick looked down to his gloved hand, as if expecting the lifeless red string to be pulled taunt in Tim’s direction by some miracle. Jason felt the smallest ping of pity, quickly washed away by the memory of the younger hero’s haunted eyes as he told Jason the story of his severed soul bond and how he came to do it.

Thirty seconds after the bat vanished into the night, a little red bird landed softly on the spot next to him.

“Thanks, Hood”, he muttered, just as tired and hurting as he’d been ever since he saved Jason’s ass and they became partners, but with the smallest hint of lightness that made him prouder of driving Dick away than he’d ever been.

“Don’t mention it, but fair warning, the big B scomin back home in a few days, and he’s harder to kick out than a hurting, annoying bluebird.”

“I know”, Tim sighed, well aware of both facts. “I’ll play it by ear. For tonight, what about bashing some skulls and ruining Two Face’s new op? Good intel says it’s just a few blocks from here, and shattering bones always makes you smile.”

“Babybird, you speak the language of love.”

“Wasn’t that french?”

“I’m trying to compliment you, don’t be a smart ass about it.”

“I am smart, and I do have a good ass. That seems like an impossible request.”

[vampirolog1st]

arcana modern au dumb shit

me and my gal @ariennneee ‘s half a braincell each combined to make one clown and this is what we thought of

...

I personally headcanon every one of them had an emo phase. change my mind

ur so right but I have another proposition: Portia had a horse girl phase

asra had an otherkin phase send tweet. I also saw someone say he did like the stargender shit lmaoo

portia running around on all fours and neighing: cmon asra play horses w me asra: PORTIA YOU KNOW THATS NOT MYNAME ANYMORE

julian would run one of those sad bart simpson edit accounts

HAHA julian definitely posts those sad im14andthisisdeep posts unironically and blocks people that make fun of them also lmao

lucio is that fuckin “cool” white Boy that posts like only pictures with like big groups of other white boys, him shirtless, and him holding a fish. Muriel posts pictures of inanna/his chickens once a month when he remembers he has the account and they all get two likes (one is from asra and the other from portia).

I cant stop thinking about what u said about lucio posting those pics with a herd of mostly shirtless white boys and pics of him holding a fish that's the most accurate thing I've ever heard

nadia posts like cute selfies or pictures of her and her friends and all that jazz but also has a vent finsta where she complains about lucio/her sisters/the court etc

modern au asra runs a cursed image blog just because I think it would be funny if he did that

I feel like he would but he also admins on an aesthetic account (but rarely posts). also nadia.

nadia and asra rum and lgbt aesthetic blog togetehr both portia and asra would have tik tok bc they’re the youngest and also the others Suck

idk man I feel like all of them could have a tik tok account apart from muriel he wouldn't like that but nadia: just posts vids of her lip syncing to a song and she's so pretty she has over 10k followers anyway lucio: posts those fuckboy thirst trap lip syncing vids that include lots of lip biting and lifting his shirt up. julian: uses those sad sounds from movies w sad songs in the background and makes them black and white all unironic asra and portia post mainly memes

asra does those dance chain vidoes and also soft boy aesthetic sometimes makeup stuff Muriel does like one (1) because asra made him download it and it’s just like one shot of a tree for 15 seconds with a song over it IH NY GOD CAN NADIA BE A COSPLAYER she uses the palace resources to make the Most Extravagant costumes

I hope u enjoyed this from our minds 2 urs

[unknownunseenunheard]

Top Ten Heroic Sacrifices/Last Stands, in no particular order

Ur goes down smiling because she's saving her kids and, honestly? It was heart wrenching

Okay, okay, seriously?

Bart Allen knew exactly what he was getting into, knew exactly what would happen if he confronted Inertia, and was warned before hand that if he went forward he would die

He did it anyways becuase Heroes Don't Run

Sam Winchester had a long streak of fuck ups, topping it off by accidentally releasing Lucifer and jump starting the Apocalypse

(And yes, the plot was complicated and yes, he totally got fucked over into doing it, I know)

His response?

He mentally OVERPOWERS SATAN THEN THROWS THEM BOTH INTO THE DEEPEST PIT OF HELL

Yes, he comes back eventually, but his soul stays trapped there for years realtime. Considering a month out time is ten years regular Hell time, there's no telling how long Lucifer had him as a plaything

Jason, Jason, Jason...

There's a reason The Burning Maze is dedicated to the Muse of Tragedy

Jason knew he would die if he went on the quest. He knew it was the only way it could end.

He did it anyways, becuase the alternative was having Piper die instead, and that was something Jason completely refused to allow

Shiro Fujimoto has terrible parenting skills and his screw ups are still having reprocussions

Regardless, the man loves his kids and his response to getting possessed by Satan? Overpowers the guy before stabbing himself in the chest to send them both to hell before Satan can kidnap Rin because no one messed with his kid

The first time we meet River Song, she dies. It's cryptic, it's random, it's unexpected, and it's utterly tragic when you get to know her more. She and the Doctor meet out of order, and to him, the day he meets her is the day she dies

She dies for the man she loved and married and he doesn't even have the slightest clue who she is, which is the most tragic part of all

Galuf Halm Baldesion goes down fighting. Exdeath takes out everyone else. Galuf is the last one standing between the Big Bad and the rest of the party

Galuf keeps going no matter what Exdeath does. He goes down battered and broken and his HP is literally in the negatives because his force of will won't let him fall

By the time Exdeath retreats, it's too late for Galuf. Healing spells don't work and he's gone

Future Chris is dead. This is a fact. He does going back in time to prevent the dark future that turned his brother crazy, and he dies in the process. He succeeds, but it costs him everything. Himself, his fiancé, his future...

True, there's another Chris running around, but it's not the same person. Experiences make a person, and that Chris is entirely different

It took a goddamn army to put down Zack Fair

Just to rub it in our faces, Square Enix topped it off with the title to song that plays when he dies

It's simply called 'Why?'

Ganner Rhysode is an annoying self assured pretty boy jock with an attitude problem

It also takes an army 5000 Yuuzhan Vong strong to put him down

For emphasis, Luke Skywalker has the second highest Yuuzhan Vong kill count in a single go. He managed to get 20

[ohhicas]

I've only been into comics for a few years, but I've read enough of the old Flash stuff where I adore the classic incarnations of the Rogues. Honestly curious here: what's it like to be a fan of James Jesse back when he was retgonned around 10 years ago and see him brought back but now all mwahaha crazy evil? I'm way more used to Axel (and all that off-panel character development in Nu52, thanks DC) but even I find this kinda weird. Was James ever crazy evil in any arc?

^- me 90% of the time someone says James is coming back to recent media & it’s not a direct continuation of the comics prior to 2004

[ Warning: this is gonna get long and be full of a lot of assumptions. I can never form solid statements and things will get jumbled, because I suck at presenting things ]

[ this is my can of worms hill and you opened it so I’m dYING HERE ]

I mean, back in the earliest ages, no Rogue had a real personality to speak of? They were just “1960s Bad Guy in a different outfit” at the very start, with quirks! Like James having a thing for toys and nuclear powered flying tricycles. It wasn’t until that era ended that they started getting real distinct and into what a lot of ‘classic’ James fans loved and appreciated? 

(I think at least, I’m just One Person here pretending like I even understand HALF of what the ‘classic’ fandom enjoyed. I’m wildly speculating just going off what fanworks I’ve seen produced.)

(I don’t have all my scans anymore but I’ll toss in scans when I have them)

But that’s when we started getting things like James actually having specified friendships with certain people

or clear distaste towards others, and when you could tell he was more of a wild card than the others. Or when he decided to fuck off and hang out in Hollywood with Blue Devil for a bit, even siding with Kid Devil to deck out Captain Boomerang. 

Or when he decided to fuck off to Gotham, to mess with Catwoman by pretending he didn’t know who she was, but absolutely knew who she was because of how she walked and carried herself, but James being James was like “mmmmm long con, nope”

hey lil Cold, gimme all ur guns and don’t question why I’m in drag xoxo

Even then, he wasn’t shown to be vicious yet! He’d hopped around various places, was still considered A Rogue, A Criminal, and as far as any comic reader could tell by trying to count up how many civilians may have been crossfired at, he had no On Purpose deaths racked? Like, the only thing you could really argue was he may have made someone drive their car off a cliff once, but I’m like 98% sure they’re fine. He’s not a murderer, he’s just here for a laugh and a long-con for funsies because he know he can get away with it!

AND THEN WE GET A LITTLE OLDER, LITTLE DARKER

[ I’M PUTTING A CUT HERE CAUSE AFTER I THREW IT INTO DRAFTS, I REALIZED I GOT REALLY LONG, I’M SORRY IF MY LAYOUT SUCKS ASS FOR THIS. ]

little more 90s Hair. Little more 90s stereotypical “But what if EVERYONE WENT TO HELL” demon plots against Satanic Hockey Hair Neron. And James? still wasn’t evil? He was a little dismissive when everyone ELSE died sure but he still in the end turned around like “nghgng I’m THE ONLY ONE”, purposely got his ass down there, regretted it, and then beat Neron at his own game to save the entire fucking world. Because! He could! And he did it so well. STILL NOT EVIL, even when he had a chance right then and there to take over everything alongside Neron should he so desire. Like, two words, maybe some under the table BJs depending on how you feel about that pairing (I don’t), and bam. He would’ve bested nearly any other villain in the DCU save like, Satan himself. Or i guess one of those world destroyers. But we’ll get back around to those BOY HOWDY WE WILL GET AROUND TO THOSE. 

So James! Saves! The world! Sorta! Later they fight Neron again and his kid he somehow had somewhere down the road (it sounds like I’m complaining, i’m not, I love Billy and Mindy both I just wish they showed up like… ever again?) and he sTILL SAVES EVERYONE. 

Piper helps by their 90s ponytails combined. 

Somewhere around here, because dates and timing aren’t my strong suit, he also goes and messes with Bart for a bit. It’s pretty much a Spy Vs Spy episode, but with less bloodshed. 

ANYWAY IT’S AFTER THIS POINT THAT THINGS GET… where I think the majority of “James is a Low Rate Joker” comes from? 

For some unknown goddamn reason, in between issues (James wasn’t a Super Frequent Rogue? He’d show up, sure, but in the huge run of the series he’d just kind of vanish for 20 issues at a time and you’d go “welp, guess he’s still alive”) James went super-cop? like, the FBI? For some reason? Hired James “I am a probably still wanted felon, a man who has escaped jail numerous times, probably never served a full sentence, known Trickster and liar” Jesse. to the FBI. And for so many issues it’s like he legit just. Did this. He threatens to shoot Piper who he was up until this very moment, considerably very close friends with (as far as comics would show Rogue/Rogue friendships), unwilling to help his friend clearly framed for murder of his parents and losing his mind by the day. Despite James talking Hart down a little on the whole ‘THE MAYOR IS ROSCOE ADN NOBODY BELIEVES MEEEEEEEE” thing. 

Also he steals Digger’s dead ass corpse? 

FBI James is a fucking enigma. Here he is standing up for Gay Rights even though Piper is like “mm maybe I should forgive my abuser??”

BUT. AFTER THIS? WE GET COUNTDOWN WHICH IS JUST. Countdown is. IT’s a problem. James’s personality is IMMEDIATELY HORRIBLY u-turned into “well we need SOMEONE to be the Bad Guy to Piper’s Good!” DESPITE. ALL THESE YEARS OF COMICS.This is the shit you’ll see people who don’t know better or just want a reason to hate the Trickster (despite being 100% okay for them to just say he’s annoying/they don’t like his tights/acrobats are stupid) reference. James is, suddenly, very abruptly, a homophobe. Like an “ew don’t touch me” level homophobe because I’m pretty sure DC snorts cocaine and threw a dart at a board for “how could they make these two fight” and landed on GAY RIGHTS IS TRENDING. 

BUTSTILL IN THE FUCKING END OF ALL OF THIS?After so many issues of James being a complete fuckass prick? 

springboards himself from his current job of being railroad face putty to catching bullets to make sure Piper wasn’t gonna die. Without knowing the proceedings of this entire plotline, James out of nowhere after so much gaybashing, still finds it in him to leap into the path of multiple bullets and save Piper. Because, yknow, he’s evil!

Later it’s shown he’s been working to take everyone down (y’know, like when he was in the FBI) and left Piper specific helpful notes to do it himself. Because Evil Bad Guy! Helping his gone-good friend! Take down bad guys! 

DC I STILL HAVE SO MANY GODDMAN QUESTOINgsd

But yeah that’s. That’s where we last saw James. in 2007, dead, after saving Piper when he could have easily pulled a Joker and ripped HIM down to take hte bullets and etcetc, y’know. Something a Very Bad Person would’ve done, like the characterization we’ve seen now. 

His ghost (easily argued as Piper’s own mental construction of James sassing him) sasses Hartley to even, in his mental state, saw off James’s hand so Piper doesn’t have to lug his weight around and has a fighting chance at living. And in the end, when Piper’s fighting the thing that can destroy the fucking world, it’s shown only Piper was the one who could save them? Because his flute, and his musical ability, and [enter DC comic science here]. You could argue this was James, once again, somehow knowing the long-con at play here, getting screwed over at EVERY turn, and sacrificing himself so they ‘good’ team had a fighting chance.You could also argue this is me losing my mind trying to make sense of the things they made James do. (my running argument is he was purposely a prick to push Piper away, so he could keep him safe) 

Also Piper plays James a Swan Song of Queen as the final boss explodes and he’s fully prepared to die. So like. There’s that. 

AND THATS BASICALLY THE COMICS? The main, ‘canon timeline’ comics. I’m missing a LOT of little things here and there, but I’m not missing anything like body counts, or murder attempts, beyond the old Silver Age “Bad guy of the week” things like trying to make Flash’s head explode, or you know. Other “nobody really has a personality, we just have quirks”. 

MY NUMBER ONE GUESS TO WHERE THIS NEW PERSONALITY TREND COMES FROM?

Mark Hamil|’s OG run as him in the old live action show. That characterization was fun, for the time, and I even enjoyed it cause it was just that off the wall and you could tell it was what they used to decide he should be the Joker for the BATS Joker. Consider it a prototype (combined with all the previous comic jokers but that’s not for this long ass post) 

And if it’d stayed there, that’d be it! That’s it! But then JLU came along, and they referenced the old show for their version of James with a sprinkling of early-era comics, and a lot of people loved and watched that show. That was their version of the Trickster, because it was their first meeting with him! And I can’t fault that! But that guy was clearly off his rocker and I’m sure if the JLU allowed a higher rating, it would’ve been even closer to the old TV show. 

And both of THOSE were heavily, heavily referenced for the CW version, which as I’m at this point now means I need to slap my usual anti-CW tag onto things. I hate the CW James. There is so little comic in him it’s almost disgusting, and they ramped up so much of the Joker side of JLU & OGTV he might as well just be the Joker. It’s not a good representation of him at all. I have, also, only seen his first appearance episode, so maybe I’m wrong? But when you fuck up hard on the first run, why would I return for round 2? 

So with ALL THIS– 

REBOOT TIME. Whatever the newnew remake is calling itself. 

At first! With how James was! In the first panel flash of him clearly behind the scenes tugging so many wires and lines, watching everything with a bucket of popcorn while pulling others to his side, sitting pretty in an old museum? warehouse? highlighted in purples and vintage toys, I was like “holy shit this it. This is My Boy, back from the goddamn limbo-dead. It’s him.” But then“taking over the city entirely” to do? What? Turn it into the world’s biggest Trickster themepark? Make everyone wear striped leggings and combat boots? Martial Law of murder if you don’t carry rubber chickens? This is already veering from anything major James has ever done. As it stands I can’t see the gag here. Its’ weirdly dark and edgy, and way too close to something we saw the 90s TV show Trickster do, in the episode where he basically took over the place. The previews show him being what I’m assuming a Judge, Jury, & Executioner joke– and unless this spins into a Clopin song and dance number and his little hand puppet crops up to slam the button on the guillotine, I’m not having it, DC. 

They’re trying to tie him back into the CW, despite the writer saying he really enjoyed the Neron-era things with James (if I’m remembering the interview correctly). And it’s also why you may see me constantly saying “Well I sure as fuck hope Neron shows up” at anything new that’s released, to explain away all of… this.

This isn’t him. If they wanted a murderous Trickster, they should’ve just used Axel. The kid, canonly, tied explosives to stray dogs and homeless people. AXEL is the not-good Trickster, the murderous Trickster, the one you aren’t suppose to feel sorry for beyond being in way over his head due to his young age. 

i think I somehow didn’t answer your question

TL;DR

it sucks? it’s also great because there’s a .5% chance that maybe they’ll do it right and won’t reference the fucking 90s noncomic media. But then they do. And all I can do is laugh and shrug like ‘welp I expected nothing’. But when they get it RIGHT it’s like christmas came early.

dick is captain of the gymnastics team and he’s really good. he’s the best in the region and has only ever lost a meet once (which was nationals, he came 2nd place)

tiger, dick, and helena went to summer camp together. tiger doesn’t go to their school, he goes to a gotham boarding school and dick sneaks into his room at night to hang out/make out and tiger comes to dick’s meets and helena tags along

also wally has a big crush on dick and he has since they were kids and dick liked him too. but wally thought dick wasn’t interested so he never went for it and then dick being dick just moved on and now wally just pines after him and it’s sad :/

damian is a snot nose 9 year old kid who hangs around the gymnastic team’s practices to hang out with his big bro and he sneers at the team and says he could do it better (which he can)

the summer before jason’s sophomore year he disappears after an incident and no one knows what happened to him but afterwards bruce sends him to boarding school to correct his behavior (which is where he meets amazon artemis and bizarro) until jason says fuck this and comes back junior year and everyone spread rumors that he like died while he was gone bc no one ever saw him so when he returned everyone was like :O and dick is really excited he’s back but jason is pissed at him bc he didn’t like support jason in fighting w bruce to let him stay

jason has bruce’s number blocked for the drama of it and bruce refuses to think his son blocked him so he's like "oh his phone must be off he's so busy love that guy (:" and no one has the heart to tell him. the rare times he does answer the phone when bruce calls, he recites a monologue and hangs up. he’s also president of drama club and also of literature club

jason recites historic and iconic monologues and soliloquies (bc he has them memorized for certain situations) except he just sprinkles curse words in

jason’s english teacher is about to fucking quit their job bc jason always tries to teach the class

cass is the best student in bruce’s class and also his daughter and she’s fairly quiet and hangs out mostly with her brothers. people like don’t really know who she is other than like hey that’s the kick ass dancer on helena’s dance team or oh! that’s the girl who kicked my ass sparring in Mr. Wayne’s class. she meets steph in one of bruce’s classes and she’s like wild and outgoing and funny and cass has a really big crush on her but she doesn’t think steph feels the same way (she does though) also steph can drive and she’s always taking cass on these really fun adventures but bruce doesn’t approve of steph so cass like sneaks out to go hang out with steph but bruce never knows bc he thinks she’s the perfect daughter and like steph brings cass out of her shell. she’s also on the gymnastics team with dick and is the second highest placing athlete on the team.

my boy duke thomas and his parents were good friends of bruce right so when during the summer before his freshman year his parents die in a freak car accident bruce takes him in. he’s a sophomore now and he’s still adjusting to life with bruce and he thinks his new siblings are kinda weird but cool. he’s also really focused on making sure his grades are immaculate so that he can get into his dream school and make his parents proud. he is in the school band and he’s really great and tim is also in band bc bruce made him but he’s not as good as duke 

jason met duke at a family dinner he was forced to go to and thinks he’s cool unlike his other loser brother and makes him join literature club 

tim drake is a freshmen and gets shoved into lockers. his only friends are kon, bart, and cassie. he joined the coding club bc he thinks babs is extra cool and wants to be like her

jason is the one shoving him in the locker and tim’s like what the fuck you’re the nerd here and jason’s like funny isn’t it and then closes the locker

bart hangs out with tim and kon and cassie. except cassie is cool from being on the wrestling team and being donna’s cousin so she’s always really busy but she tries to make time for them. wally shoves him into lockers sometimes and kon has to get them both out.

kon is in his rebellious teen phase where he's like fuck u dad i don’t wanna be a farmer but its justified bc kon is techinically an illegitimate child from a previous relationship and clark is kind of a dick to him bc he treats Jon better than Kon

helena and dinah make out under the school bleachers before helena has dance practice and when helena has to go dinah smacks her ass and says knock em dead babe

helena originally took mr. wayne's martial arts class because she needed PE credit but now she kinda likes it. the whole time she’s there she objects to bruce's passive approach to fighting 

bruce: fight to disarm or incapacitate ur partner helena: thats dumb, fight to kill ur partner 

bruce wayne voice: helena this is a PE class please stop trying to murder your partners

kate kane subs for bruce sometimes but she supports helena's kill ur partner attitude so they don’t hire her very often

helena is captain of the dance team and they perform at all school rallies and football games and shes really hard on her team mates but only bc she wants them to be their best and babs & dinah make her music mixes for performances bc they love her

babs is president of the coding club and even though she’s a nerd everyone respects her. her and dick went on a date once and then when he kissed her good night she realized she was a lesbian. they’re still buddies though. she dated dinah for awhile but they decided they were better as friends. helena and babs became friends in the martial arts class and babs introduced helena and dinah and the three have been bffs ever since.

Like honestly a show with a roughly analogous cast of characters to Family Guy (with all the shitty traits excised),in the form of short 5 minute comedy sequences with both sitcom gags and the more absurd cutaways,would be a pretty great show. But right now what we have is a series where the main characters are abusive parents,a pretentious "intellectual" dog,and three kids who frequently turn on each other to avoid further abuse,with plots and gags that drag on far too long.

ehHhhh… i think what this show needs is someone who can realize that this show needs CHANGE. u wanna kill off brian? do it. don’t fuckin go back on ur word. u wanna let meg get payback for all the bullying she’s been put thru? fuckin do it. 

they treat past episodes as a “hey, remember when that happened?” easter egg rather than a fuckin… continuous story, and it makes the lowkey changes that have taken place DESPITE that be that much worse- aka lois becoming more flat of a character, peter becoming more ruthless of a father, chris and meg fighting each other rather than being on each other’s side, stewie becoming less maniacal and more…. flamboyant, i guess. etc.

they had a few chances to fix that, especially with that episode where stewie and brian go back to the first episode to find something brian lost? they had a chance there to drag all the characters back to where they originally were, or to fix the flaws of who they’ve become. you know, like a MINI-ARC that would keep with the continuity they’ve set up and keep the constants that they’ve wanted from day one, but still have a little change that would keep those of us who read further into this series on a more content note.

instead, of course, they ditched that idea. they ditched everything that could have lasted more than one episode- probably so reruns can be in any order, really, and viewers can hop in at any point and know the basic traits of all the characters involved without worrying about missing anything- and seth macfarlane has stated that he doesn’t understand why one would make a movie when you can already do what you want with a cartoon anyway.

which, if you don’t mind me saying, really “grinds my gears”. listen, seth. you have a bit of talent in you, i admit that- this series hit it off super popular, so even critics such as myself can point blank state that you did something right. people must love the show for a reason, right???

but these longer arc-type episodes are PERFECT for what movies could be!!!!!! make meg and chris run away and then have them actually deal with their trauma in a way that makes sense!!!!! or go talk to justin roiland and dan harmon (the creators of rick and morty, if you are unfamiliar) if you need advice!!!!

why bring up rick and morty? the series has the titular morty smith (14) and his sister, summer smith (17), who have to deal with the abuse that their grandfather (rick sanchez) puts them through. he is not a nice man, and regularly admits that he doesn’t particularly care about either one of them. the show ADMITS that this harms them both, and SHOWS these teenagers dealing with it in a believable way without having them forgive their abuser.

yet meg and chris, who have dealt with similar issues (wacky adventures around an abusive man, poor mothers from both ends who could BE good mothers if they tried who love this abusive man and refuse to take the kids away from him) just.. don’t. they put up with it. they join in, or don’t question the shit they’re put through.

5 minute short comedies wouldn’t do them justice either. i think we should go in the opposite direction to fix this, and make it a full length film where everyone’s problems are directly ADDRESSED. honestly, depending on how it’s done, that could somewhat redeem the show to me. peter griffin is a horrible man, yes, but the underlying problem is with his public presentation within the context of the show.

neither peter griffin nor rick sanchez are good people, yet only the latter is actually shown as being who he really is. rick is arrested for being awful, he’s called out by the others around him for being a jackass, and the victims aren’t forced to suck it up for the sake of the family. sure, morty (the 14 y/o, if ur keeping up with this) does come to a similar conclusion as meg, where he kind of feels like he needs to suck up his own problems for the sake of keeping the family together, but… you can see him internally dealing with it even afterwards. it’s very visible within the show that he’s trying to internally justify the behavior of his abuser and cope with it in a healthy way (only to fail, because he’s a fucking teenager), rather than just shouldering all the abuse and being Suddenly Dandy with it.

that’s why i loved the comic i reblogged so much (convenient link to it). it took both chris and bart simpson (who is in a similarly abusive situation, though different in that his mother isn’t an ill force within his life and his siblings don’t seem to be as abused- though i’m no simpsons expert) and presented their traumas within a reasonable manner. they don’t just Get Over It. it’s not a learning lesson for their goofy fathers- there’s no moral value. it’s their goddamn life, and the comic shows them in that manner.

i just wish the show(s) noticed the nuances of difference on how they portray these abusive characters, and adjusted the shows accordingly. i can live with peter griffin being an abusive piece of shit. those types of people exist in the real world, and our media should portray every facet of humanity we have to portray.

being abusive just shouldn’t be made out to be a good thing, you know?

was studying business stuff on the low while she was in school and saving up money and then when graduation rolled around, she decided right off the fricken bat to get started on her cafe idea cause she’s been watching too much fricken lifetime movies

came to london because she thought that hipsters, old white business men, and yoga moms would be in surplus so where better to start

fricken loves 2 make bannock and brings it to every get together

depressed as shit and if he isn’t being a fricken menace on society, he’s wallowing in his room alone probably having himself a noice pity party

plot ideas: ride or die who does some shady things w him, somebody he considers like a fricken sibling to fill that hole in his heart, somebody who caught him in the midst of robbing some place but stayed quiet and tbh we could build off this, a peep who saved him after he got his ass kicked in some sketched out back alley and now he feels in debt, lowkey hookup who always get together but no strings attached

CW: rape

What do you do after you’re raped.

The ceiling fan spun above my head and I sat, blank. Like, really, what do I do.

I knew what I was supposed to do (DON’T shower, DON’T wash your clothes, DO call the police, DO press charges) but did anyone actually do that? I couldn’t do that. I had liked him! We’d dated! I was still drunk! I’d gone with him to his room!

No, no, no. There was no way that I could do that.

I’ll tell you what I did instead.

After I was raped I tried to go to sleep. I laid next to Jamie and I thought That was fine, this is fine, I’m totally fine and I closed my eyes tight and tried to pretend I wasn’t who I was or where I was and that what just happened wasn’t actually real.

I laid there for a minute or an hour, I still don’t truly know, and I put my hands on my body, the body I fucking hated in that moment, the one that I’d leapt so far out of I was hovering above. My hand wandered up to my left ear, and I realized it was torn, bleeding a little. The gold hoop I’d been wearing sat bent on the floor.

If that thing that I didn’t want to happen hadn’t actually happened, why was my earring ripped out of my ear? I closed my eyes again.

Jamie’s eyes were closed next to me. His mouth hung open, the mouth that had said yes, shhhh, shut up, yes while I said no, stop, seriously, no. I crawled off the mattress on the ground and padded to the kitchen. When I found the light pouring through the kitchen windows and pulled up my shirt I saw lines of scratches and small bruises outlining my ribs. I looked down to find the same finger sized prints trailing the inside of my thighs and the outside of my legs.

Oh. I thought. Oh.

My friend L lived with Jamie. Through a sloshy haze I had grabbed her shoulder the night before and screamed over the music.

CAN I STILL SLEEP IN YOUR ROOM TONIGHT? I’d said

SURE! she’d responded

Now it was the next morning, and L came into the kitchen and caught me quietly examining my bruises with whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck ringing in my head. She opened her mouth in question, and before she spoke the fact that I wished weren’t true came out of me: He raped me I said. Jamie raped me last night.

There was a couch in the kitchen. There was a giant print of a green vintage phone on the wall. L and I sat on the couch for a good long time and I stared at the details of the print. There were two worlds, the one before where I hadn’t been raped and the one where I had. I crossed a line, and there I sat, on a moldy couch, in the middle of the kitchen in San Francisco, CA. This was the world I was going to be in forever.

Jamie raped me. What an inconvenient fact.

The day after Jamie raped me I let him buy me a burrito. I thought if I was like fine, fine, totally fine then it wouldn’t have been rape. I thought if I didn’t feel sad or hurt or violated, I wouldn’t have to deal with the new world that I didn’t want to be a part of.

You know it was a misunderstanding right? Jamie said as I unwrapped the foil of my burrito.

Sure. I said.

I wanted to believe that. A misunderstanding! Those happen all the time!  A misunderstanding sounded GREAT! Way better than rape. A misunderstanding was exactly what I wanted.

I took a bite of my burrito and my stomach lurched. I gotta go I said. Can I hug you? he responded. I wish I’d said no.

—-

As the years have gone by, I’ve tried to tell the truth about Jamie. The truth is that I was 18 and Jamie was much older. The truth is that at the time I usually wore a fuzzy hat with kitten ears, made out of a gutted stuffed animal. I’d never lived outside of my hometown before, and this was my first six months on my own. I’d never been drunk and I was just learning what it was like and what my tolerance was. I’d never been to a bar.

Jamie DJ’d (and now DJ’s a regular night called Debaser) and seemed like he knew a lot about the way the world worked. He liked me (ME!) for some reason I could not understand, but sometimes he also didn’t like me and I wouldn’t hear from him for days or weeks. He refused to wear condoms. He tried to fuck me in public the day we met. I was flattered. Me! Just dumb little me!

The day Jamie raped me, I’d asked L if I could sleep in her room because Jamie was on a downswing. He wasn’t calling me back and he probably didn’t like me anymore, which I’d been sure was a matter of time anyway. L had invited me to the party and had confirmed I could sleep in her room. I wanted to see him because I liked him but I also knew something was weird, cold, off.

When I’d told Jamie I was going to sleep in L’s room he’d told me that was a bad idea. There’s no room he’d said. She doesn’t want you to. I lived in Oakland, it was late, the BART had stopped running, I was totally hammered. You can just sleep in my bed he’d said. It’ll be fine.

By the time Jamie raped me, the truth was my feelings had been hurt. He’d been hot and cold so many times that even ME, baby me in my stupid stuffed animal hat had started to realize that I probably shouldn’t sleep with him anymore. I wasn’t particularly well versed in being nice to myself, but it seemed like fucking a dude who was going to ignore me for a week or two afterward was probably not on the right path. I decided I wasn’t going to do it.

The night that Jamie raped me, he pinned me down, hard, pulled up my skirt, and fucked me while I said no. He didn’t just fuck me without my consent- which let’s be clear, would still be 100% rape- he fucked my while I was actively crying and telling him to stop. As much as I still want that not to be rape, it is. I know a lot about being nice to myself at this point, and I know what flagrant boundary crossing is. That’s it. Jamie is a rapist.

I’ve tried to tell a number of people that Jamie raped me.

I know him way better than I know you I’ve heard.

He doesn’t seem like the type who’d do that I’ve heard.

What are all the details they’ve asked.

If you don’t stop I’m going to sue you he’s said.

Fuck you, you crazy bitch his girlfriends have spat.

I don’t want to talk about how Jamie raped me. I don’t want to hear the statements or the questions or the backlash. But just like there’s two worlds— the one where I haven’t been raped and one where I have—there’s another version.

There’s the world where Jamie gets to rape me and live his whole life without repercussion.

There’s the world where Jamie gets to keep raping women because no one is telling the truth.

There’s a world where misogyny wins because women who talk about their rapes are just crazy and should be quiet.

I don’t want to live in that fucking world. I want to live in a world where Jamie doesn’t get to DJ or date or make friends without everyone knowing that he’s a rapist. I want to live in the world where even his most vocal supporters have a little gnaw in the back of their brains. Some deep down speculation that maybe his behavior deserves a closer look, maybe he’s not so great.

I want to live in the world where I tell you that Jamie raped me and you believe me. Because that’s the truth, no matter how much anyone wants it not to be.

Jamie Guzzi is a rapist. Now you know.

I guess I should write about what’s been going on? because there’s a shitload and i kind of hate myself for not keeping up with it!!!?ok

so last week was our trip to San Fransisco. mind u i had posted that we had no place to stay and would most likely cancel the trip... well we found a place. On the first night we met up with M’s co-workers and got a hotel/motel. Juliette had texted me saying she really wanted to meet up so we made a plan to in the next couple of hours. I was so nervous cause I have never had a friend understand things like she understands me and this is legit all from memes and tidbits we’d message on IG in the past years. she said she was gonna pick me up and take me to eat with her friend. So i got the i’m outside text and there she was! it was legit surreal. So met her friend who was super tall but super chill. let me say i’m fat af and that we had to walk every fucking where. holy shit. so we walked and talked about living in SF and me in the Valley. We made it to the underground station, they call it Bart. and we started really talking... like how anxiety and depression has fucked with our mentality and how it effects our academics. she asked me what I wanted to do and i was like since HS it’s been the same thing: movies. but i have so many idea and i have resources but i don’t have friends who want to and i have a shell i can’t break out of to socialize and network to do anything... and i was like i feel like such a failure because i have such a burning passion and i’ve had time but nothing has come of it. and i swear it was so nice to have someone else who had this outlook like: tbh i’m not even worried. and it wasn’t even like she had a set plan so she wasn’t worried but more of: “why do i have to have a career at 30? i realized i can’t do school so i’m taking simple easy classes on things i like and i’ll see where that leads.. i’m trying to not let societies pressure tell me i need to be at a certain place by a certain age.” and then i had this epiphany right there with her and told her about how David lynch started painting and doing sculptures as a teen and how that actually landed him a scholarship to a film school where he fucking made Eraserhead. and i said that he even now, being 70 something has creative control of his work which is FUCKING rare but he legit stuck to his aesthetics no matter how long it took him and he’s still getting praised. 

so yeah, then we got off the bart and walked a ton to this pizza place. trust i was tired af wanting to die from walking so much, and this line to get pizza was fucking insane. i was like are u sure we can even wait to eat cause i’m already tired. but we stuck it out and I HAVE NEVER EATEN PIZZA THAT FUCKING GREAT BEFORE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE I FUCKING SWEAR!! so we started talking about how everyone in our class has babies and is engaged and married or have careers and shit and then we got into it about TA. Mind you, no one but maybe 2 people know what i think about him regardless if we hang out or talking or whatever. so then i was saying how crazy baby fever is and then she said “yeah i had a serious case back in HS when I dated TA, i swear i would have had his child and married him right then and there no questions asked i loved him that much.” bitch my insides shattered. i mean yeah he has a gf, and yea i’d known that they dated, but i never knew it was that serious. and here’s a girl who’s friendship i really fucking value telling me she was IN LOVE LOVE LOVE with some dude I tell myself i’m going to marry or be with. it sounds fucking crazy and i sound like a fucking idiot because this is all theoretical but omg i was like girl-code says u can’t date a friends ex. i took it with a grain of salt and reminded myself of the past things that had happened (which i will get into) and was kind of like ok, chill the fuck out.

we then walked to the amoeba record store and talked about movies and music and she’s so talkative and funny bish i was so happy to be around her. she’s enigmatic and pure i loved that she always had shit to say. so we bought stuff and made our way back. on the train she said that she noticed i had a little crab symbolizing Cancer and she said that that’s why we understood each other so well because she is also one! I had no idea but i was like UR AN EMO WRECK LIKE ME!!! it makes a lot of sense actually. from how we act around people and how we think it’s pt fucking cool. so walking back to my hotel she said she was sorry for not offering to host us but she was in a super tiny space that she would even hate for her sisters to come and stay with her because it was just her big ass bed and almost no other space but she said she was moving in the next year so she said i’d have to come down more often and stay with her!! it sounds super gay, trust me i know! but i have not made friends in fucking years!! so getting back i go up and like i fucking said we walked for hours and Mel and her friends had plans to go to a gay club which i was all for earlier but now that i had blisters on my feet and had makeup running down my face i was like pjs on lay in bed, watch the proposal and fall the fuck asleep. her friends were really cool too though. like one is this super femme gay dude who is circling around the idea of doing drag so his makeup is BOMB AF!! and the other girls were a lesbian couple who spoke so softly but were the cutest thing ever. so they kept drinking and being loud but i tbh did not mind, and they got on their last coats and left. the next thing i remember it was 4 am and M was on top of me saying some crap about the club and sorry for being so loud. then i heard them say that the coke was working so well and that they had so much energy. M kept saying she wanted to run around the block and at thjis point i was so fucking tire di wouldn’t even get up to check up on her, plus i had cramps and it was honestly 40 degress in that room cause they left the air on. so we all knocked out and we woke up to 23498234092834092384 alarms and the snooze buttons like a million times omg it was so funny after. got breakfast, went down to the golden gate bridge, which is impossible to even comprehend, went bowling, got burritos, drove to lombard st. and then got dropped off at our hostel. there was a mix up and we ended up in different rooms. we met up outside and decided to walk to the venue to see how far it was... bitch it was 20 mins walking and another 10mins trying to find the entrance... but the second we turned the corner.. THE FUCKING MARQUEE SAID BRAND NEW SEPT. 11!!! BITCH I WAS SCREAMING AND PUSHING M BECAUSE HOLY SHIT!!!  we both got so excited!!!!! so we headed back and I said “i’m not taking chances i’mma wake up at 6 and be there by seven! i did not go through a fucking heart attack of a time to get here to NOT be front row.” so she said she was gonna meet up with a friend to get breakfast and that she would show up later. well I got there at 7 am and i was the first one for like 2 hours. honestly i have no idea how i do it, to pass the time i mean. like the show wasn’t until 9 and we spent all day outside just watching shit go by. but the people around us were super cool and raging BN fans which made me heart swell!! plus Jesse FUCKING LACEY walked right by us and was in an art supply store for hours!! i’m not even exaggerating but i heard he was on his phone the whole time and yeah. I didn’t wanna be that fan girl like before so i dropped it and just accepted it. so time came around to go in and right as i get into the part to scan my ticket it isn’t scanning.... i was like no!!!! hurry up i was being an asshole to the dude but he just let me go and my ass ran!!! i left M behind because i was deadset gonna save our spots and yeah we fucking made it center front row. let’s just say the show was a bit of a letdown. first: there was this huge screen in front which from far away looks incredible but from up front it’s just covering and outlining the band.. so that didn’t go up until half way and then came down again which was so fucking annoying!! plus!! they left off on an not so good song to end off on... i mean ur supposed to play an acoustic of best song last but no they did a hardcore one that left EVERYONE confused!! idk everyone after was like wtf tho!! but such a heartwarming part was singing Soco Amm with everyone in the crowd and knowing every word it was so fucking PURE!! During the wait outside before the show i decided to read up on the lyrics and facts which is my afvorite thing to do! i’m that bitch lol. but i was realling listening to the lyrics and Can’t Get it Out came on and i got so fucking teary-eyed holy shit i was shaking. the song about depression and feeling like a failure because nothing has been done although u love creating was so heartbreaking to hear. I decided it was my next tattoo so when this song came on and they played it my ass was crying and screaming at the top of my lungs. it was so good though cause i love love love the feeling of the crowd pushing me against the barricade cause it’s so reminiscent of my youth and shit i rarely ever do anymore. so the show ended and we left looking wrecked and flew back home.

now listening to Science Fiction i already have nostalgia and a fucking deeper love for Brand New i can’t stress it enough my heart will break the day they say it’s finally over ;~;

so work updates? um the shift at Urbane finally fucking left, it’s been months since he’s said he’d leave because things were “so fucked up there” but it was legit all rooted to him. so the manager and the dm sat down with him after multiple attempts to help him and told him he’d been demoted to kitchen cook. he got mad, and then later ranted that he wasn’t going to show up the next day... and he didn’t. legit everyone there is so much happier and less stressed out!! we all commented on the same thing it’s so nice!!
