#Rose Dana

Steamy Saturday

It's almost the new year, and it has been a snowless December, which is very unusual for our area. Some of us are pretty passionate about the snow, so on this last Saturday in 2023, we thought we'd combine the two and bring you some romantic steam from the great white north in Arctic Nurse by Rose Dana, "A Unibook Romance" published in New York by Modern Promotions, A Unisystems Company, in 1966.

Aside from its gratuitously benevolent racism (e.g., "Grace had come to understand and love the amiable, broad-faced people in their colorful woolen and fur jackets." "Konala was living proof that the natives could adapt themselves to the twentieth century." "She’s really typical of her own race in every other way. And I find the Eskimos a wonderful people."), its occasional flashes of self-awareness (“Civilization always brings drawbacks with its benefits.”), and its formulaic storyline (Nurse Grace has a choice between kindly Doctor Mark and curmudgeonly Reporter Richard; who do you think she chooses?), there's a fair bit of authenticity in the descriptions of life in the eternal cold and snow.

This comes from an author who has lived knowledge of deep winter: Rose Dana is one of the many pseudonyms of the extraordinarily prolific Canadian writer W. E. D. Ross (1912-1995), who, with over 300 novels, may be the most prolific Canadian writer of all time. He wrote in a number of genres and is the author of the Barnabas Collins series of novels based on the American vampire TV series Dark Shadows (1966–71). The nurse romance, however, was a mainstay for him.

So, until we get some snow, we'll just chill with this sappy little arctic romance.

It's so FUCKING INFURIATING AND EMBARRASING how fanon Jason Todd stans always tell newbie Jason fans 'Don't read comics,just make shit up!!!' when they SHOULD tell them 'If you're scared to read comics,just watch Under The Red Hood!' when it's the perfect Jason adaption and average movie length!!!If you like Jason Todd but haven't actually consumed his media yet and want to get started,ignore those niggas because they're the same people who pretend Jason's Robin dosen't exist because he's black,are disgusted that all three of his love interests have been woc because they want him to only date white boys and white pick me girls and complete erase Jason's autistic-coding,goth punk slay and just his entire swag including what'd make him beyond good afrolatino rep but are foul enough to hc him as latino anyway.Those are the devils talking and you should tune them out by starting up Utrh and you should get your favorite snacks for too because you deserve them and i've read every Jason issue ever so if you want more info on him when you're done follow me since i'll actually know what i'm talking about,i love y'all and stay hydrated and ignoring Janky Talker truthers

For a character known for being a petty jackass, a lot of his character interactions are his family & friends playfully insulting/mocking him and him just taking it lol.

Can we talk about how Mulder got a call from Scully to come to the oncology ward at the hospital. Can we talk about how he must have been a little worried about her because the first thing he did when he got to her was ask her if she was okay. Can we talk about how he showed up WITH FLOWERS. And then made a joke about it to downplay the fact that he brought his partner a fucking BOUQUET in an ONCOLOGY WARD when he had no idea WHY she asked him to meet her there? Can we talk about how this was his first impulse in this situation, which for all intents and purposes probably looked like a Work Event™️ from his perspective until he saw the look on her face? Can we talk about the instant denial that something he couldn't fix had hurt her? Can we talk about how that reaction was immediately followed by a wall of faith that there was a solution out there, that the answer was out there, that the truth was out there to save her? Can we talk about the fear and self hatred behind the wall? Can we talk about the roses?

Batfanon Jason stans need to suck it up and accept that JT is a super gritty dark character that's a commentary on trauma,poverty and nuanced justice that he's sometimes straight up wrong about on PURPOSE for depth and to truly achive this instead of a white male power fantasy,he needs a diverse cast and he canonically has a fantastic one.This is why the original Rhato run was so awful and the reboot so much better by giving us Artemis and same for Lost Days continuing his and Talia's bond and making Duke and him eachother's Robin and Dick,Stephanie,Damian,Rose and Dana recurring Red Hood lore characters.In addition to multiple disorders and being lower class with a hatred for rich people,Jason has shown countless instinces of most likely being aroace either non-partnering or romance favorable,has the personality of an afro-dominican man with a backstory and following plots that would work as good representation too(that i will link evidence to as an irl one in the notes for any doubters,nonblack and gringo concern trolls especially)and is heavily audhd-coded on multiple levels

Not an infantalized teenage girl-coded adult white man like Roy treated him.Not an uphoalder of pure moral righteosness who's misunderstood because to be fair,you have to have a very high intellect to understand Red Hood.Not a poser asshole who just wants to be held and isn't actually goth punk but a rich daddy's boy.Not a 'fuck away the trauma' type or a bad friend and ESPECIALLY not a bad boyfriend.Not normal,not shallow,not palpable.The DC world dosen't revolve around him and contrary to the weirdass text posts i'm always seeing on here he's okay with that and cheers on his loved ones when they get the spotlight-Tim and his legit enemies are the exception to how he feels about other people,not the rule.Jason Todd is NOT just a white boy and he would NEVER even look in other characters general direction just for being white boys(and yeah,this is about Danny Dead Weight and Borky Barnes and Deadlastpool)or horny white girls or whatever neo-trad bullshit y'all got going on

If you actually watched Under The Red Hood or read Jason's comics that aren't og Rhato,you'd start getting scared not because of the extreme brutality and darkness but because you can't even handle a white cishet male protagonist who respects women and poc and prioritizes them over other white males instead of chasing oppressive fantasies.Your projection is showing and it ain't pretty

Dana: You have a dinner date with Rose for seven. What time do you arrive?

Jason: Seven. A.M.

Jason: Case the restaurant, run background checks on the staff.

Jason: Can the cook be trusted? If not I gotta kill him. Replace him with my own guy no later than four thirty.

Dana: ... You're ready.

Jason: Really?

Dana: *laughs* No. Everything you just said was insane.

Happy International Women’s Day! Here are a few of my favorite fictional female characters!

[jasontoddssuper]

White Jason Todd stans will always tell you that he has no well-written romances with girls in canon so i believed them and followed along with them saying he should be with Roy until i actually read his comics and found out literally all his female love interests have been woc

Anita jean!

ANITAT JEAN!!!

Alright so the Little Wren AU is basically just 'Bruce manages to find Anita after she fakes her death' and she actually does become his first sidekick. She isn't a fighter, Bruce puts her under three layers of armor, and she basically fills a mage and healer role with first aid (mostly for civilians and criminals) and the virtual reality gas drug, the use of which allows batman to remain a cryptid for far longer.

Anita also takes longer to get the hang of grappling hooks because she's less coordinated than even Tim but she does get them probably not too long after Dick comes to the manner since the two can train together. Her inability to use grappling hooks when she first enters the field is why The Whirly-Bat was made, named The Hummingbird in this au because it's Anita's and was named before Dick was adopted into the family and took a bat-gimmick to every piece of equipment in the cave. Before he joined the team, Bruce and Anita were work shopping names for a lot of their stuff but hadn't come to decisions for most of them, so Dick still gets to do that, but not for Anita's Hummingbird.

Rather than the dynamic duo, this au has either a tritastic trio of Batman, Wren, and Robin, or the dynamic duo is seen as Wren and Robin, as Batman's sidekicks. When Tim ends up at the manner, Anita basically tells him he's too tactical to be Robin and gives him the Wren mantle, which she either had already left behind or was in the process of considering it. Steph ends ends up becoming his paired Robin, for much longer than Canon.

Steph initiating that plan that required Matches Malone probably still happens, but with Anita's help she's able to salvage it, but it opens up an entirely new set of problems because at that point Anita was already on the verge of discovering The Court of Owls (because their one give away was a nursery rhyme and she wanted to find out it's origin because it's her hobby) and now The Court sees the bat clan take control of the city basically in it's entirety so those two things combined make The Court release the elite talons. A temporary alliance with The League of Assassins and the timely first arrival of Cass in the city means they just barely manage to win. This is also the family's first introduction to Damian and a recently resurrected Jason is probably also there, but dressed like the rest of the assassins so he isn't recognized.

Anita herself, which is what this au is actually about, is going to be depicted as better adjusted due to not living her life since she was, like, eight alone and eventually dedicated to revenge. She has hyperfixations on birds, nursery rhymes, programming, and tech and is an excellent detective. I already mentioned she's less coordinated starting out but that doesn't mean she's weak, she'd probably be able to beat Dick in a fight when he first gets to the manor since he's at that point just a gymnast but she's been training as a martial artist for like six months at that point.

Speaking of Dick, I really look forward to writing their banter. They are going to be so sassy to each other but very protective of each other. Almost as much as they're both protective of every one younger siblings, which, and seeing some of your posts this may be disappointing, isn't going to be terribly long. Finding a way to fit every obscure batfam character in is for my other dc au, the same one that my ruleset for Claire's powers is for, but I do have Calvin, Charlie, and and Dana (Talon, Misfit, and Strike) as sure-shows for Little Wren.

Long-Term, the au's story-arc will focus on the eventual take down of The Parliament of Owls as the main antagonists, as it feels fitting for an Anita Jean focused story for previously stated Nursery Rhyme related reasons, although I do also plan for The League to be taken down due to Tim still having his globetrotting adventure and then the batfam actually capitalizing on it.

Edit for Addendum: the first paragraph makes it sound like Anita never fights, I should clarify that her role on the team does evolve as she gets older and Bruce becomes more lenient.
