The Joker was apprehended, sitting on the ground as Batman guarded him, but the kid--"Bruce Wayne's newest ward, how tragic! Hehehe!"--was nowhere to be found. Nightwing and Red Hood desperate searched the warehouse until a shuffling noise grabbed their attention.
A kid, black haired just like the kid in the Joker's broadcast, crawling out of a pile of boxes. "Is it over?" the boy asked quietly.
Nightwing guided him to the only exit, unfortunately walking past the boy's own kidnapper. "Yeah, kid. It's over. Come on-"
Like a shot, the boy rushed the Joker and kicked him right in the balls.
The Joker wheezed like a dying squeaky toy. Red Hood froze. Nightwing immediately snatched the boy up by the armpits, but all that did was give the boy the height to attack again, punting Joker in the jaw. The clown went down and cracked his head on the floor. He did not get back up.
There was a moment of silence before Red Hood roared with laughter, his helmet distorting the sound.

im so conflicted i love the idea of being shared but also love the idea of someone being possessive over me!!!
like being a free use pup for a friend group of owners, just being their cute shared pet that they all take turns with
but then also, having an owner who is so possessive they'll leave so many bites and hickeys on me just cus someone looked at me for a little bit too long

I was asked about the decision re: Zuko's scar (on his arm) in MO, and I thought I would share my response with y'all:
Hello! I thought about the scar a lot, actually. The problem was about the blocking of the scene. In canon, Zuko gets the scar on his face because he begins that scene with his father by going to his knees. The facial scar is representative of the position they were in - Ozai standing in the position of power, Zuko on his knees requesting mercy, mercy being denied.
But I set up a situation in which Zuko would not start on his knees. Standing in front of Ozai is symbolically important to Zuko in-story and also to the narrative itself. So it didn't make sense for the injury to be to the face physically (he wouldn't start in the same position) or symbolically.
The scar being on his arm also creates a different symbol. In MO, the action behind Zuko's injury was Ozai trying to wrest him onto his knees while Zuko was trying to protect 1) himself and 2) the position of sagehood (hence the arm being up, and hence him eventually falling to his knees - he can't protect himself or the temple's status). That's the starting-place of the story when it comes to the Zuko-Ozai relationship.
Also, Zuko's place among the sages is one where he's outwardly uniform to them (with the exception of age). The scar would differentiate him too much from the offset. There are only two non-uniform aspects to his appearance, one chosen (his hair) and one inflicted (his scar). The hair is hidden behind the hat, which has its own complicated symbolism, and which he sheds throughout the story. The scar on his arm is almost hidden, based on the length of sleeves, but is never quite hidden by the uniform. It's symbolic of his rebellion being close to being covered by the uniformality of his sagehood, but never quite hidden.

(good future) Finding Home Pride edition <3
Trans Leo pride is something I see a lot, but personally, FH Leo wouldn't celebrate his gender. He grew up around Gali, who went through a lot of gender struggles, especially in his younger years, and with the brothers being so accepting, it's just another part of his life
But his lack of romantic attraction? That's something that stands out to him. He sees the brothers with their own attractions and crushes and such and realizes he stands out. He's different. But that's okay because he's still him and he's still valid
anyways~ it's pride month, which means i get to be even more annoying about aro pride ^-^
that final shot without text:

okay done crying my eyes out. btw have u ever thought about how dokja's trauma from his father carries through all of orv without ever being the main focus of it? it truly did all begin with a young boy being abused, but the story doesn't focus on the abuser. it focuses on love and sacrifice and the ways in which we survive and find others in a ruined world. even when the dokkaebi king takes on his father's shape, its short-lived - almost as a nod to what a reader would "expect" of the plot, to wrap everything up in a neat bow that calls back on the 'real' evil of the story. but the evil in orv is never any one being. its the world that made a young boy lose his mother to the prison system and that made him feel isolated and objectified by the media. the traumas that dokja actively struggles with are those tied in with love. his mother, his protagonist, his writer, his children- the point is that evil is boring and ordinary and always here, apocalypse or not. it's love and its flawed, human presentations that make us who we are and that permeate our every action and decision. and that's okay. that's love.
