nobody is talking about how horrifying this picture is. petrified, drowned, stabbed, turned into a zombie, stuck in time, the Bad Ending of Sock Opera, lost in time, eaten by the Summerween trickster, gnome queen mabel, stayed shrunk, stuck in a videogame, recruited by the Society of the Blind Eye, etc. like y'all they are so astronimically lucky.

Why is it always Robin has to prove himself to Batman? Be it any Robin. And no, I'm not talking about characters, because Bruce—Bruce is like “Everyone must prove themselves to me but I'm not answerable to anyone” that motherfucker. Very IC.

I'm talking about stories, about narratives—why does every Robin-centric narrative has a “prove themselves to Batman” arc—but Bruce's arc never involves proving himself to anyone?

Why, after the events of the Tower of Babel, Bruce didn't have to work to gain the Justice League's approval? Why didn't he have to work to redeem himself, dammit!

Yes. He had to reveal his identity. But then, it wasn't his idea. It was Clark's. It's fundamentally different from Dick unmasking in front of the Titans: Dick feels in his bones that it isn't fair that he's the only one masked and the Titans are up for mutiny, so he made an executive decision.

It didn't even occur to Bruce to do it. Dammit, the fucker wasn't even trying to get back into Justice League. Clark had to persuade him. And no, I don't mean he should have gone and begged them to let him in. He doesn't need them.

But let's be honest: none of the Leaguers need the League. But humanity does. That's why they put their differences aside and band together.

Bruce is selfless when it comes to sacrificing his family a la Batman : Ego. Oh!—it's Bruce's children that are dying in Batman's mission. Isn't he so noble?—the picture of tragedy? The greiving father? The man who can't even have a steady romantic relationship because Batman wouldn't let him? So selfless—until he isn't. Until the JL—in other words, a planet full of people—need him to swallow his pride. Then, he isn't selfless anymore.

He's selfless when he's a father sending his children to war for the greater good—but he's not selfless when it's time to swallow his pride, to take the risk of trusting someone even after being traumatised and betrayed—for the greater good. (And honestly his trust issues seem narcissistic when surrounded by people like Dick, Alfred and freaking Commissioner Gordon!)

You know who does it? Dick Grayson. That's who. The “trust no one” maxim has been drilled into him by Bruce, but even then he chooses to trust. Not because he's stupid, but because it's a requirement. He totally expects to be stabbed in the back; he isn't naïve. But he'd rather be betrayed than have someone be barred from help because they seemed suspicious. It's canon in Titans. He says it in words, look it up. To Brother Blood, I guess.

Bruce didn't have to work to get on the League's good side. He just had to reveal his ID to regain trust and that, too, was Clark's idea.

And that's not an attempt at redemption, because if it was, then why did Clark have to do it too? Clark didn't do anything to deserve it. But Bruce forces him to and Clark agrees: for the greater good that the League trusting each other would ensure.

Clark Kent, who chooses to forego a mask so that people trust him. Literally, it comes down to that. Who has to built his whole civilian life around the fact that he shows his bare fucking face to the whole world.

And honestly, if I were to throw genre convention aside and read the text the hard way, Bruce doesn't seem really all that bothered with keeping his ID a secret. He's nothing compared to Clark. I mean. Come on, look at the number of people who know Bruce's ID and the number that know Clark's and tell me. Fucking tell me who's more serious about that stuff.

Bruce's entire existence hinges on other characters’ kindness, in and out of universe. In-universe there's this massive brigade of people who know his ID and keep it a secret. Out of universe, writers who show him to be the best even though Clark, Diana, Dick are all more worthy than him.

This is what you get when you let little incels run creative industries.

What did Bruce ever have to do to redeem himself to anyone? Literally anyone? Bruce would let Gotham burn if it meant he keeps his colossal pride intact. But oh, send his children to die: woe is him, this greiving father, so tragique—would absolutely do that.

He isn't even a hero. You know the impact of Batman: Ego and BtAS pales when put next to his very selfish acts when it comes to himself.

Because always—ALWAYS—the uwu factor in Bruce's stories aren't personal.

Not like it's in Clark's who has to face xenophobia because he's an alien. He's natural existence—his powers that are a part of him existing—being called a threat. He still helps.

Not like Diana who comes to the Man's World and decides to stay behind despite it being, well, a Man's World. That would never really respect her as much as it respects a man, any man, even though she's a literal Goddess. Coming and staying in Man's World for her means loneliness. Being immortal and watching every friend she ever made become a memory. But she chose to do it. Because at the end of the day, it's not about her. It's about helping people.

But for Bruce, in true male-is-default fashion, it's about losing people. People he loves.

His parents' death, Jason's death and so on and so forth. I'm not saying losing someone is not painful. I'm just saying it's always about his manpain.

Making the victim's pain his.

Hello :3

May I ask thee for angsty Loui hc's? :3

*not forcing ofc!!*

Mhmm Loui angst hmmmm

*tackles him with the angst magic*

Loui can see spirits, and knows a good amount of witchcraft, so he quite often sees the spirits of all the people he has witnessed die. Some of them tell him it wasn't his fault and give him solace in their company, the others haunt him with blaming him for whatever happened; even if it usually didn't. And eventually, he too began to start believing their deaths were his fault ):

Sometimes, when he gets sick - like, really really sick [such as on the rare occasions that HE has gotten hungover] - he often starts to hallucinate the presence of the spirits; which we only know he does because I headcannon that all three of the Witchcraft Brothers (as I think I called them earlier, idk - I probably need to make a new name I suppose) can see spirits so imagine how Maine and Mass felt when a delirious Loui started sobbing and saying that he was sorry for causing someone's death to what was actually the wall but he thought was a spirit ):

For around a month or so after such incidents, Loui is terrified whenever he sees a spirit - no matter whether it's one that likes him or hates him - because he doesn't know if it is real or not and is scared that he is once again hallucinating.

Cajun/Creole French is a dialect of the French language; but many seem to believe that it isn't - which sometimes hurts Loui because he feels that it is one of the last attachments he has to France; since no matter how much he despises the country, Loui still wants his love.

All that moving of Louisiana's territory between France and Spain as well as the large number of protests that took place during the Louisiana Purchase means that he now has self-esteem issues and feels like no one will want him. Every time Maine and Mass show him even the slightest bit of affection [given the NE bastards that they are /lh], he cries a bit because he's so surprised that they still love him and want him around despite him not being able to give them anything of what he considers of "actual value" - never mind the fact that he's pretty much the only reason Mass has lowered his caffeine consumption to a less deadly level and that Maine actually gets fed on the days he forgets to eat [he silly boy like Alaska].

Anyway, that's all I'll give for now - can't be spoiling you too much (:

If you want more, say the word. I hope these were fine for now!

i have nothing to post so hv a few slides of my presentation on geography that I made when I was 15

the teacher loved my slide and said that "this is the kind of presentation slides that you'd see in university", and from that day onwards, his words inspired me to keep on making more graphic designs, and overall my geography teacher is the main reason why I got into graphic designing as I plan on major in it when I graduate highschool ᵕ̈

Just some Ellis and Gem thoughts

Gem teaching Ellis how to meal prep for just one person is important to me because this is something I'm going through right now as I start eating separate from my own family.

It doesn't have to be an every day thing, they can still eat out, but even just a couple homemade meals a week would be nice I'm sure.

Yes, making meals for one person can be difficult at times, but Gem could show them how to make a large meal and portion it out, freeze the portions for another day as an individual serving. It would be fun to do together, spoiling Eggs with treats while waiting for food to cook; even doing a big portion in the slow cooker while they do other things like reading, playing games, or how to execute embarrassing Cyril the next time they meet to get him all blustered, per the norm.

[sexiestpodcastcharacter]

any plans for the John from Malevolent? we do love a yellow king

No one from Malevolent was submitted. I might do a bonus round of the color-coded eye-symbolism protagonists (Cecil Night Vale, Jon Magnus Archives, Nikignik Hallowoods, John/Arthur Malevolent) but I would need someone else to provide a description of him/them because I haven't listened to Malevolent myself.
