i see this jason todd who actually looks his very young age (instead of the 30yr old man that comics like to portray)
and feel my heart breaking just imagining bruce beating him up, almost killing him, mind-breaking him, and just overall being a total piece of shit father towards him.
a huge chunk of the reason why people don't view bruce's actions towards jason as abusive or wrong is because jason doesn't look his age. he's drawn to be this 35yr old father of three who looks even older than dick (and way too on par with bruce) that people see their fights as one between batman and any of his regular rogues. when they fight, it just looks like batman is fighting a man his age and not an actual young person. it doesn't look like batman is fighting his son who's barely even drinking age (and who def wasn't drinking age in utrh). their fights are portrayed in a way that eliminates the very real power struggle between them.
this applies to jason's entire character as well. a lot of people don't sympathize with how he died or his actions as robin or his fights with the other bats because he doesn't look his age. he always looks older and scarier than everyone else. tim has many sympathizers from the titans tower incident because jason just looked like a grown man fighting a 12yr old (even tho i disagree, tim was built and like 17 lmfao).
anyways, i just wish comics would actually draw jason to look his age, which literally ranges from 19 to early twenties. he's young- so young, and it's so annoying to see him drawn and written as someone older than even bruce.

It's fascinating to me that for our modern (at least on European-influenced societies) thinking, the classical Roman way of life is so familiar. When you read about it, the rethoric of the speeches feels modern, a society based on contracts and laws and litigation, with public works, a state bureucracy and standing army and trade economy and even spectator sports, a concept of philosophy separated from religious dogma and tradition, with even a limited understanding of a government by 'the people' and 'citizenship', even the names all sound familiar even if in completely different contexts, and no wonder since they inspired our current politics.
This all in contrast to medieval feudalism, which is completely alien to me. A society created upon family connections and oaths of fealty and serfdom with no such thing as an overarching state, not even kingdoms were any more real than a title one person holds, and all held together completely, utterly, to an extent I cannot emphasize enough, by the institution of the Church and the Christian faith. In a way we just aren't used today in our secular world. I simply cannot overstate how everything, every single thing, was permeated by faith in the Medieval worldview and the Church which took its power from it, we have an understanding of it but I think people just don't realize it.

Proship dni for my comfort thanks.
I feel like everyone portrays F/Os as these romantic, perfect all around lovers, and while that's all well and good! I prefer F/Os who are flawed, who don't always say the right things. Who can sometimes be petty or selfish. F/Os who have a habit of seeing conflict as a contest on who can talk the loudest, instead of a conversation. F/Os who run out of patience sometimes and have to go cool off mid-conversation, even if they're right. F/Os who struggle to communicate their emotions.
I find comfort in the idea of a relationship where mistakes like that are allowed and given room to breathe. A relationship where, no matter what the conflict is, the walls eventually come down. Maybe it takes hours, maybe days until you're both calm enough to work it out. Maybe it takes several conversations to solve it, but each end in Hey. I love you. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
You're not perfect, and neither is your F/O. That's okay. That can be beautiful, too. There's not a hug that's more comforting than the firm, tearful one after reaching mutual understanding. Knowing that you didn't mess it up too much, you didn't break things permanently. You couldn't if you tried. They missed you... and you've got some serious affection to catch up on.

so murderbot assumes that three offered its armor because it doesn't understand that the armor can belong to it and thinks mb taking the armor is just good resource allocation.
but if it assumes it doesnt have control over the armor, it would probably let whoever it sees as in charge (maybe ART?) handle it, or at least make the suggestion directly to that person. even newly freed in NE, it's willing to give its security advice (on hostage situations being undesirable) even if it doesn't expect to be taken seriously. it doesn't make sense to me that it would have so much trouble expressing the offer if it were just a security suggestion.
and then i think about how murderbot says later in the book that even if three felt fondly toward its fellow SecUnits, the govmod would prevent it from expressing that care or knowing it was returned.
so-- imagine you're three, and you havent yet internalized that you can just say "i care about you and dont want you to get hurt" to another SecUnit; but you can make sure that it has every resource it might need; you could probably do that even before the govmod was hacked.
you can't explain why, but you can hope that the gesture is explanation enough, and you can look for similar caretaking gestures in return; things like being given code and advice to do your job better, and being reassured when you express that you're finding said job difficult.
i think *murderbot* isn't aware of this language of care, because it hasnt had much opportunity to bond with other constructs. but three probably is, and probably knows how to read between the lines and guess that murderbot is starting to care about it, too.

the funniest comment i have ever gotten on my profile
she's FAMOUS lol. she was definitely used because the term "flight rising profile" was googled, and this shows up in the first line of image results. this image is from my thread about personal dragon hoards (hence why there is a hoard there) (still waiting for personal hoards). so so incredible.

Yan! TricksterS + Mastermind x GN! Reader
Content: NSFW, brief mention of baby trapping (Erickson is the warning himself), just you giving them head.
Yan! Shy Trickster who blushes so hard that it matches his own hair color when your tongue is wrapping his cock, his tongue stuttering to even praise you.
Yan! Shy Trickster whose hands hesitate to tug on your hair hard because he doesn't want to accidentally hurt you (hell, he'd rather die than cause you even the slightest pain).
Yan! Shy Trickster whose cock won't stop twitching when it reaches the back of your throat, it feels so heavenly inside you.
Yan! Shy Trickster who tries his best to contain his whimpers and moans by biting his lip so hard that it bleeds. Trust me, those veiny hands really want to yank your hair but it's trying its best to not <3
Yan! Shy Trickster who actually warns you that he's about to cum (Unlike his brother...) and boy does he come a lot. He's such a healthy boy, isn't he? <3
"Aaahhhh... ah, please, spit it out, here... do it on my hand..."
Yan! Trickster who is a complete menace if compared to his brother.
Yan! Trickster who doesn't hesitate to use your hair as a lever to chase his own pleasure, each time he yanks you in and out is accompanied by a string of degradations and praises.
Yan! Trickster who is very vocal unlike his brother, doesn't even have a single shame (Unless he's mad at you).
Yan! Trickster whose cock will always hit the back of your throat relentlessly, he knows his size is inhumane and yet he doesn't have a sliver of conscience spared on you just yet <3
Yan! Trickster who doesn't warn you and just surprises you with his load, oh, turns out he's rather the healthy one as well (probably forced by his brother).
Yan! Trickster who asks you to swallow it without wasting even just a drop <3 He doesn't really need to use it on your pretty hole just yet after all... (I mean... omegaverse(?) works right?)
"Swallow it all, you know how precious those children of mine right?"
Yan! Mastermind who can be a combination of the twins.
Yan! Mastermind who doesn't really treat you like a tool to chase his own pleasure but is not really gentle with his ways as well. (His mood is pretty good right now after all~)
Yan! Mastermind who actually likes to tug your hair but not as a lever, he just likes having some sort of control over you (but oh boi if he's mad at you... *even worse, he's the worst*)
Yan! Mastermind who isn't really vocal but he doesn't hold back his moans as well. Basically, he doesn't mind it slipping out of his lip.
Yan! Mastermind who only warns you once with his hoarse voice and his tugging of your hair before he comes. He will not allow you to spit it out because hey, that's his blessing to you <3
"You don't seriously think about spitting it out, right?"
(Throw that thought out of the window immediately unless you want him to treat you like the doll you are ^0^ he's not generous in sparing people, even you, from his wrath~~)
