The gears in his head turn. Under the shadow of an overcast, Ace feels the silence move on with a glacial pace, time trickling to a stop as he reaches its conclusion, the beginnings of a realisation.

Demigod bat brothers gatherd around a letter Alfred left them, struggling to read his cursive writing: ....

Tim: he... he knows we can't read this right?

Jason, the only non dyslexic, grabbing the note: *snorts* this is why I love Alfie.

Tim: well? What does it say?

Jason pocketing the note: it's not for you

Damian: now you're just being selfish, Todd.

Jason: yeah, definitely selfish. But it's Alfred's orders.... soooo.

Adventure time fans when you enjoyed the Fionna and Cake finale and don't want their miserable unnecessary nitpicky opinions on a silly happy cartoon ruining ur joy and love for the show:

[aizawashuichi]

this is the most random bit of information about Watari, just thrown out there and never explained or explored. like who are these people? if he had a wife, does it mean it was just a lavander marriage because how the hell does she not care about him being out and about 365 days a year? if we are talking siblings, they also must have seen him with this random young adult at least once. isn't it sketchy. or is just Light speculating

Hi Raven! So, it's revealed that both Crowley (SSR card) and Malleus (dorm SSR card) have the exact same cosmic type powers! It's curious indeed... could that point to some sort of relation between them... I've seen people already saying that "he's not beating the dead beat dad allegations"...

Their spells are very similar, yes! They're three cosmic element spells with similar strength and effects (the key differences being Malleus gets crit buffs and does not heal while Crowley gets no crit buffs and does heal both himself and an ally). This by itself would not be strange (as there are many cards with spell overlaps), but I’ve seen others take this and add it to their growing pile of suspicious parallels between Crowley and Malleus.

Crowley is also categorized as a “Balanced” card even though his high HP is more closely associated with “Defense” cards. (Malleus, by the way, is an "Attack" card.) Why is Crowley BALANCED… because Raverne was a diplomat that wanted to have peaceful relationships with all races… IS THAT WHY…

I can’t keep defending you from the absentee father/dead beat dad allegations when you keep gaslighting us like this, Crowley 😭 though I do wonder if we just see it this way due to confirmation bias (like, we already have a certain idea in mind, so that makes us to interpreting new information in a manner that proves or confirms that preexisting idea). This happens like every update now and it genuinely has me going back and forth between being for or against the "Crowley conspiracy". Right now, the biggest point against the theory is that Lilia implies Raverne's voice sounds similar to Malleus’s. However, Crowley’s voice does not really sound like Malleus’s, meaning Crowley could not be Raverne.

Am I the crazy one??? Am I the one huffing copium??? Or is TWST tricking us into following a red herring??? Both possibilities are equally as likely—

(In case you're wondering, Crowley duos with Grim! Though it would have been very sus if he duo'd with Mallues--)

What are you proud of, but never have an excuse to talk about?

I wanted to go on a bit of a ramble about Misa so like

I've been seeing this sentiment recently about people expressing frustration over people ignoring Misa's wrongdoings and painting her as an innocent angel who never did any wrong. And you are all correct to point out the fact that yes, she very much DID do things wrong. The sentiment that she is pure and innocent is very much factually incorrect. She DID stalk Light and coerce her into dating him. She killed people. I just wanted to throw in my two cents on her real quick.

BUT I also want to point out that I kind of see people's love for her as almost a rebellion against the early days of the fandom. As a shonen series, a lot of the content and discussions around it were being had by anime dudebros. To add on, we KNOW how bad Ohba is about writing women. How many sexist undertones there are in all of his work. He himself has admitted with no shame that he cannot write women. (Which as a professional author should make you feel shame tbh but I digress)

When I was first getting into the fandom, Misa was pretty widely disliked as a character. The people that did like her were very much sexualizing her. The sentiment was that she was a dumb blonde bimbo unworthy amongst the genius of Light and L. There was SO much bashing of her. That came from fans that weren't the typical dudebro as well. This was peak shaming girly "shallow" girls era. The not like other girls era. I think this definitely played a role in at least some fans, now that the fandom is more chill, latching onto her as she was definitely treated pretty badly and people wanted to avenge her. Or people wised up more and thought more critically about her as a character. I think over time, that protectiveness over her, along with the somewhat humorous nature of it, morphed into the "uwu she did nothing wrong" narrative.

Additionally, I kinda have some thoughts on her as a character. I am not excusing her bad actions, maybe moreso rambling about my understanding of them.

She witnessed her family being murdered. This is stated to have happened a year before the series starts, so she was like? 16? 17? Understandably a very traumatic experience. She had to see the killer being allowed to walk free, her word, her testimony, not mattering. The man who took everything from her was allowed to walk with no repercussion while she had to live with that trauma. When Kira (aka Light) killed that man, avenged her family, it is understandable that she would form this odd parasocial relationship with him. She was mentally unstable enough to start with, griefstruck and seeing Kira as the one who helped her gain some faith in the world again.

To add onto that, she was also stalked by an obsessed fan, who after being rejected, was going to kill her. She was only saved by the sacrifice of Gelus, thus gaining the death note herself.

I see her as not an innocent angel who did nothing wrong, but as a deeply damaged young woman who had no agency in the world before this. Being hurt by multiple men, living in Japanese society which we know isn't very supportive of women in general. She finally gained some power, a way to protect herself in this world. And she saw the person, who helped her at her darkest, unbeknownst to himself, as her saviour.

Yes, she was absolutely not in the right for starting to kill people, yes she was absolutely wrong for stalking Light and forcing him to date her. I just wanted to ramble about her a little bit and give my silly little thoughts on her. I love her as a character, I can see WHY she is why she is. And it is absolutely okay to dislike her for those things! It is absolutely okay to criticize her actions because they are not okay. And yes I also believe her character missed a lot of the depth some of the other characters had simply because she was written by a misogynistic author. When I say she deserves better, I mean that she deserved MUCH better writing. But also Light is NOT innocent in their relationship either. I hope we can all still agree on that.

Saw a post right now that said that the affc outline talks about Baelish’s plot to marry Alayne to Harry Harding and then reveal that she is Sansa so that the vale army stands behind her taking the north and not what the stansas are saying. Babes, that is still Sansa taking back the north, keep talking to the wall.

yokozawa was the best “antagonist” in nostalgia, his motivations were understandable but he ended up becoming too invested and crossed a line with his friend and was rightfully forced to distance himself from takano for it and grew as a person as a result. 10/10 no notes

haitani was … fine, he was smarmy and annoying and caused problems on purpose and it loops around to being weirdly funny how petty he is. the fact hes just an ex coworker who became romantically obsessed with takano and when faced with rejection began to cause problems in their shared workspace is scarily realistic honestly. he sucks and hes good at sucking. 8/10 not yokozawa

i think nao is where we reach rock bottom of the antagonists bc hes that one incredibly entitled and overemotional friend you made in high school and now acts like he has full control over whats “best for you” and i kinda genuinely, unironically cant stand him. the road to hell is paved with good intentions and nao is sprinting to the finish line. 3/10 hes lame.

i have several drafts from back in january comparing some of my old man yaoi ™️ ships which i decided against posting at the time because, quite frankly, they were thoughts no one would appreciate but me. two of the ships i know have some overlap, but the third didn't fit. a different genre. too niche.

but, with a new deadpool movie out and other ppl seeing the buggy parallels, i might as well get this off my chest:

shuggy is cablepool.

(not movieverse cablepool, to be clear. (i enjoy movieverse cable but he is not my mutant messiah.) comics cablepool.)

the dynamic is eerily similar:

we have an occasionally slapstick murderclown with obvious issues about the unusual way he looks, who presents himself as only having selfish motives but is (sometimes) lying about that, is very hard to kill, is disliked by ppl who have to work with him and popular with and beloved by ppl who don't both in-universe and out!

and his ex-bestie, a massively overpowered would-be martyr who is missing a flesh arm, has three scars over one eye, whose continued fondness for the murderclown post-breakup baffles everyone around him (murderclown included), and who refuses to elaborate on his motives for doing shady shit (including manipulating our beloved murderclown) except that he's doing everything for the sake of the future

like. tell me that's not them.

my last time speaking on this bc I’m back to my smut and stupid shit afterwards (cause yk this is my safe space 🤪😜🫶🏾👍🏾) , but I’m genuinely scared, not just for this presidency but my local leadership too. Hence why I always make such an emphasis on it. I live in a small town and it’s very much class/racially divided. The sheriff (a white woman btw but a woman nonetheless) has been actively trying to harass and run everyone from my side of town. She pretty much wrote off this area as a bunch of drug addicts and says ‘she hopes we all just kill each other’. (My family has never done, sold or even been around drugs and yet her dumbass cops are convinced bc we’re black with nice vehicles, that we must sell). She’s also pushing for the gentrification of our area so all of her rich cohorts can come and tear down our houses and build a suburbia. Just the other day, a cop made me move my vehicle from in front of a store I park at all the time bc im disabled and even the closest parking spot is far on this leg and he did it just to be an asshole. I can’t even cry abt this presidency yet bc I’m now worried that my local leaders are going to make our lives hell. Not to mention, they voted no on abortions and gender affirming care as well. I hate it here so fucking bad.
