Just some more thoughts on that jayvik dbh au

[yikesy]

you see the reason apollo is so natural at changing himself and quickly adjusting to new situations is that, as the God Embodiment of Civilization, he has this amazing thing named Scientific Curiosity which makes him the chosen one (1) god to not be afraid of change or the unknown

hey actually. something just hit me so hard lmao

if the King hadn't gotten frozen in act 5 and Mira had defeated him in the same way as usual (making him "disappear"), then Siffrin 100% would have looped again, wouldn't they. regardless of what resolution they come to with the group.

because there's not just two conflicting wishes at play. there's three.

Siffrin's, to stay with their family (solved by communication, yay)

Vaugarde's, to be saved (solved by stopping the King)

and the King's, to preserve Vaugarde forever (solved by freezing him in time, so he remembers, in that moment, in eternity)

if Mira hadn't somehow managed to reflect the King's attack to freeze him in act 5 and had instead done the usual "disappear" move, i actually kinda think the Universe would have made Siffrin loop, again, because the King's wish wouldnt have been fulfilled too.

...man, that would've sucked, huh!

I think the recent Cass and Jason discussion is very interesting bc like, Jason or even steph in her first appearance take these actions of righteous, murderous (or near murderous) justice bc of the fact that not only have they've been abused, but they're also able to recognise that fact, and feel that despite everything, they didn't deserve to suffer like that (Jason with his murder, Steph with her childhood abuse)

Whereas Cass struggles for most of her series to recognise that she was abused and struggles to properly resent her abuser on the grounds that she didn't deserve it. She resents David for being a killer and making her love him, for making her a killer, but rarely for the actual abuse that came with her training. She eventually recognises it right before the end of pre-52 in batgirl 2008, but not after a long time, and she still tries to save David at the very end after contemplating letting him die.

she does grows to resent Bruce after some time, and confronts him, showing that she's slowly gaining higher expectations for how she should be treated after developing relationships outside the batfamily (coincidentally with Steph, someone who can relate over having a shitty dad, along with her love interests like Kon and Tai)- though Bruce, despite his multitudes of bad parenting moments never truly abuses cass like david did, so there's nuance, and after her fight with bruce, she still has trouble fully reckoning with her abuse (still calls david shooting her 'a game' in front of tim- she knows its wrong but still doesn't act upset about the fact it happened to her).

She kind of sees all the training she went through as a necessary evil in order to have the skills to be a hero- which is somewhat true, but I think it also contributes to her being unable to see herself, even partially, as a victim for large portions of her narrative.

She can understand abuse as something that molds you into a killer, she can't understand being abused and then choosing to be a killer bc of the righteous fury you have at what happened. In Cass' mind her abuse is synonymous with killing. That's the worst thing Cain ever did to her and the reason she ran away. She can't understand someone like Jason choosing it as a way to cope/deal with abuse.

I don't think this is necessarily a ground breaking thought but I think abuse is an interesting lense to look at both Jason and Cass' stories- pre52, Jason's story is about continuing a cycle of abuse. Criminals hurt him, he hurts criminals, and anyone who gets in his way of hurting the criminals, bc even tho he pursues justice, he also pursues retribution, which is hard to do justly. Between that and the whole zombie/living ghost thing, it's downright gothic. Whereas Cass' story is about breaking out of a cycle of abuse- nobody dies bc she let one person die and will never let it happen again. It's just an interesting way to view their differences I think. Good Cass and Jason posts recently!

I LOVE THIS!! I absolutely think abuse informs the way Jay and Cass see the world (and Steph - Steph, in many ways, is the median point between Jason and Cass).

It's the fundamental question that drives Jason and Cass apart. For Cass, her question is: how can I be the victim if I'm the villain? And for Jason, the question is more: how can I be the villain if I'm the victim?

I love this line: "Cass struggles for most of her series to recognise that she was abused and struggles to properly resent her abuser on the grounds that she didn't deserve it." This is doubly complicated by the genuine love David Cain had for her - that panel of them watching the stars kills me every time. This is another key difference between Jason and Cass' abuse (taking Jason's abuse to be his death) - Jason had no love for the Joker, but Cass did love David Cain.

It's why it's so easy for Jason to want to kill the Joker, and so hard for Cass to even be angry at her father. And your point here - "In Cass' mind her abuse is synonymous with killing" - is absolutely on point, because Jason's conception of abuse is the helplessness of being murdered. They are both acting in ways to prevent what abuse means in their minds: as Batgirl, Cass will never have to kill again, and as Red Hood, Jason will never have to be helpless in the face of murderers again.

Any rebuke of their moral codes feels like a denial of the abuse they suffered. It's why Cass can't allow others to kill, and why Jason can't accept Bruce's reasoning for not killing the Joker. It's why these versions of them could never get along. Argh there's been such good Cass and Jason commentary recently, they drive me insane!!!

look, i know everyone said that the new interview with the vampire show was incredible but holy shit i was not prepared for how incredible this show is

like, not only is louis interesting now, he is incredibly compelling! his once-bland internal dilemma is now given actual weight because it's not just the same old Thou Shalt Not Kill But I Am Hungry story, it's tempered through his righteous fury at how black people have been treated all these years, how many people have wronged him and laughed and expected him to laugh along, how his ties to the community that once saved him are now turning to nooses around his throat, how his family that he once provided for and relied on have now come to fear him

that, combined with his explicit homosexuality, and with lestat being the only one who seemed to accept him and love him for all that he is, and how that is both comforting and incredibly toxic and combined with sam reid's insane charisma and mania and gravity as lestat that make it completely understandable why louis would still be drawn to him in spite of everything

and how they've used the changes from the original to this one to examine how memory shifts regarding someone who was so intense and formative in your life even if they were ultimately so controlling and abusive but still left such huge gouges in your personality like knives

like

fuck

this is the best-written show i have seen in a long time like this is top-tier writing holy shit

[tubbytarchia]

I have so many smallidarity thoughts but Im scared of having my head skewered on a stick if I spoke of them. You guys dont know the thoughts that plague my mind. You wouldn't survive a day in my twisted world.

[l6gds3dn]

tbh i didn't even clock the new dorian gray adaptation as queer erasure i fr thought the issue was that they were making it incestous

[heir-less]

Also, you know WHAT I never talked about?

They let a woman with cancer take the fall for a badly photoshopped picture?

They let a woman who was just diagnosed with cancer take the fall for a picture they could have easily just lied about?

[camellcat]

it confuses me when people say they like willow or xander and then get all uncomfortable and condemning about, like... major parts about them. you don't like that they're wildly possessive of which often leads them to acting irrational and awful...... which is like one of their biggest traits? oh, and you hate that they're not fantastic friends to buffy............. which is also like. how they are. pretty much the entire time we know them. okay!

wow, you find xander to be annoying bc he's a dumb dude who seriously needs to unlearn some ideals and really outta treat his girlfriends nicer. I'm dismayed at his typical guy-ness. bummer, we don't enjoy that willow is like totally abusive when it comes to exerting whatever power can get over people. that sure is a bad thing she does.

I just. I like them BECAUSE of these things idk how the hell you could possibly separate these things from them and still enjoy these characters it boggles my mind

[anextravagantliar]

oh I have to play wicked eyes, okay time to pick the FUNNIEST team for no reason

every time i blink theyre doing another terrible adaptation of a gothic novel will i ever be free

[panthera-tigris-venenata]

Just posting some of the Dead Beauty AU aka the one in which Uma isn’t on the Isle cos I just realised now I gotta make two characters with self-destructive tendencies, no concept of death and blinding egos flirt and also that I have no idea how to make people flirt.

Wish me luck and meanwhile enjoy

CJ, unsurprisingly, survived the day. Slippery as eel, he said that already, she vanished off into the Isle shadows after a comparatively short man-hunt that Harriet probably wasn’t putting her whole heart into. Royal hostage aboard her ship and all that.

And Harry would probably be way more enthusiastic about this whole affair if itwasn’t his fucking job to deliver their demands to whoever cares about the king enough to meet them.

Or something.

He stops at the corner of the empty alley, just few streets down the Hell Hall: He can actually see it from there, the half-crumbled thing reaching for the skyes and the souls of innocents or whatever. He sneers at it and reaches for his flask, only to find his pocket empty.

Fucking great.

Either he left it at the ship, or one of his sisters got the better of him, but, whatever. Ivy’s probably gonna have something to share.

He hopes she’s at the Hell Hall, as she is the most tolerable de Vil to deal with – doesn’t hurt she’s not too bad to look at, either.

But if none of the cousins are there, well, that’s not his problem, is it? He can tell Cruella. The demands will have been delivered.

And if his darling sister wants to tell someone else, she can bloody well track them through the Isle herself.

He sighs, spits on the ground, and stalks the last few streets to Hell Hall.

Once there, he grimaces at the looming gate and braces himself before ringing at the rusty bell by it. It sounds through the Isle, scaring off the resident crows and ravens that take fly, cawing horribly, and Harry only just resists yelling at them and/or flinging a knife or two into the black mass.

He turns back to Hell Hall and pushes the rusty, protesting gate open, only to be met with the sight of Ivy de Vil already standing in the doors.

She poses just so in the dying light, showing off, her bright red, ehm,<i>clothes</i>, stark against the black-and-white.

Her red-painted lips curl into a sneer that Harry matches immediately.

„What is your fucking problem, Hook?“ she asks.

Well, now he isn’t going to tell her why he came. Obviously.
