NO BUT REALLY CAN WE TALK ABOUT BRUNO?!

I know this movie is old and stuff at this point but this is bothering me today so I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON "WE DON'T TALK ABOUT BRUNO".

So the song establishes later that everyone is describing Bruno from their own biased perspectives (except maybe Dolores) with the most obvious case: Camillo.

Seven foot frame? Maybe to like a 5 year old sure, he's pretty tall and lanky, and that's the only perspective he has. He literally hasn't seen him in years. Rats along his back? Yeah sure my boy loves his rat buddies but like Camillo my guy where are you getting this? Have you spotted him? Did Bruno always like rats? Unclear.

SO NOW I CAN GET INTO THE REAL ISSUE OF HIS FUCKING SISTER.

Pepa, your wedding was OVER A DECADE AGO. YOU ARE HOLDING A HELL OF A GRUDGE.

"Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin"? That awkward autistic son of a bitch probably was awkwardly smiling and trying to make small talk because his sister was freaking out about the wedding.

"Bruno says it looks like rain, in doing so he floods my brain"? I honestly think he was trying to make a (badly presented) joke to help her calm down. Pepa, girl, you control the weather. Any predictions about weather with you do not apply. What happened was he was probably trying to point out she was stressed with a little joke of "looks like rain", as in "Pepa you look stressed and you control the weather so like it rains when you're stressed haha oh god I'm bad at this" and she just RAN with it.

That girl thought her brother ruined her wedding with a weather prediction when

a) Girl controls the weather b) It is NOT JUST ABOUT YOU (poor Felix, man keeps interjecting with shit like "it was our wedding day" and "still a joyous day but anyway" when she is being an absolute bridezilla about it three kids later). c) There is no way you don't realize your brother is an autistic mess by this point. Like why would you not have talked to him about this. Why are you holding a grudge over a decade after you got married. Your brother is MISSING and you actively want to erase his memory because he made you annoyed?

In conclusion: Fuck Pepa, Justice for Bruno

How pissed do you think Shermie was when he found out about what really happened with Stan and Ford???

[necrotic-nephilim]

do you ship helena bertinelli with anyone? if yes, then which characters and why? what's your favorite helena ship? do you have any helena rarepairs? (i know you've talked about helena/steph and you're so right about it, it's a very interesting ship)

!!!! i have so many ships for my best girl ever yes oh my god thank you for asking.

my top pairing is probably Vic Sage/the Question. Vic is the basic answer, but man. i love them so much. no couple has matched each other's freak like that have. Justice League Unlimited is a great adaptation of Helena in general, but it also did a great adaptation of Helena and Vic's relationship. how he just dedicates himself to helping her with no expected return, but also wants to make sure she doesn't go too far in a hunt for vengeance that never ends for her. i think a lot of characters often want to change Helena or expect things out of her for their own needs, like the Batfam and the BoP. but Vic is one of the few people who just wants her to be better for her own good. when he tries to stop her from killing it's not because of his morals, it's because he doesn't want this crusade to consume her. and i just. man i think about them a lot. Helena rlly likes weird little men who give themselves wholly to her.

Zinda Blake/Lady Blackhawk is also a top ship for me. tbh i just like Zinda. but i do love how Helena and Zinda interact, being the more rough and tumble members of the BoP. they're both outsiders, in different ways. Helena is an outsider of the Batfam and Zinda is literally from a different time and an outsider to the current world. their friendship is so genuine and i think if Babs and Dinah can have. whatever homoerotic nonsense going on during BoP, then Zinda and Helena deserve some homoerotic nonsense too. as a treat.

if we're willing to count New-52 Helena, then i enjoy Helena/Dick/Tiger. i think Helena and Dick being a past relationship is really important in pre-Flashpoint for Helena's development, though i don't ship them as a serious couple beyond a fling. but in the New-52, i think this throuple be fun. Helena and Tiger respect each other as two very driven, no-nonsense agents and then well. they both clearly have some kind of thing for Dick. so it's fun finding the balance of how they could all work together romantically.

and ofc. it's a crime to mention Helena ships and not mention Renee Montoya/the Question. every time they interact it's really fucking gay. it's so gay that Kate Kane, Renee's own ex, assumed Helena and Renee were gay. i cannot be convinced against this ship. i genuinely think this ship should be canon. i mean. DC did tease us with this moment from an alternate universe and it's lived rent for me since. fucking criminal for us to only get one panel of what we could have if DC let Helena be a fruit in the main universe. being in love with Helena Bertinelli should be a right of passage for the Question mantle, i personally believe. if you asked me like. genuinely who i want to see Helena date in the current comics, Renee is my top pick. (i would say Vic but he's fucking dead and the New-52 butchered him so rip my mans-)

besides those ships, just about every ship for Helena probably falls into the category of rarepair. like you said i've talked about my love for Helena/Steph before bc god. i think it should be a thing more people ship. once i finish the fic i'm writing about them i will convince others to like it.

i also think Helena/Cass could be fun. in a *lot* of ways Helena and Cass are narrative parallels to each other. Helena was a victim of her family being murdered at about the same age Cass was forced to be a murderer. Helena grows up to believe in lethal justice because of this, and Cass grows up to be staunchly against it. Cass' Batgirl suit was made *by* Helena. they both want to be protectors of the most vulnerable people. they balance each other out in a lot of ways and i think they should kiss about it.

also probably a rarepair, i think Helena/Lady Shiva is fun. their fight during Birds of Prey (2010) had... questionable moments for Helena's characterization, but i do love so much that Helena knocks Shiva off her feet and gains a deep respect from Shiva. like. Shiva gives her a nickname and shows her admiration. i would like to see fanfic where Shiva continues to be weirdly admirable of Helena and bothering her non-stop. they could be a fun fucked up toxic yuri moment. this is just. so gay to me.

birds of prey (2010) #6

my most rare Helena pair would probably be Helena Wayne, actually. but specifically Helena Wayne of JSA (2022). ever since, for some reason, it was made canon that the current Helena Wayne was named after Helena Bertinelli and took the name Huntress to honor her i *cannot* stop thinking about them meeting. because in-universe it makes *no* fucking sense for Bruce to name his kid after *Helena Bertinelli*, someone he's regularly at odds with and doesn't like. it's clearly an awkward explanation to try to make the whole two Huntress situation make sense. (it's almost as bad as Helena Wayne in the New-52 using Helena Bertinelli as an alias.) but because it's such an odd choice, i do think it could be fun for Helena Wayne, when she's back in time to see Bruce, to find Helena Bertinelli to get to know the woman she was named after and Helena Bertinelli just being. baffled by the idea of *Batman* naming his kid after her. it could be a fun fucked up moment.

my other super rarepair is Kara Zor-L/Power Girl. they had like. one meaningful interaction of JSA Classified and it's been PLAGUING me. something about when Power Girl doesn't remember her past and she's seeking a friend, she instinctively goes to find Huntress? but it's wrong bc this isn't *her* Huntress and neither of them understand why Power Girl would seek Helena out? god it's so good. i'm always a big fan of ships where one person in the ship is *so* obviously using the other person as a replacement for someone they lost and they both know it. it's such a doomed angsty thing where you could play with Helena actually really liking Kara, but knowing that she's just a replacement for Kara's Helena Wayne. good fucked up shit man.

and lastly: i really ship her with Dawn Granger/Dove. there's no canon basis for this, they didn't have a ton of interactions even when they were both on the BoP. but there's a very kind innocence to Dawn that contrasts Helena's violence really well. and i do love a ship with a corruption kink vibe to it. let Helena corrupt Dawn. i could write such fucked up porn about these two.

Minor Ladies Month - Beyhan Sultan × Quote

My mourning is over, sure, time has swept it away. But the heart can't forget some things, the heart can't forget even if you want to. I still do not have a husband, my children still don't have a father. Sometimes, they ask me "Why did our father die? Who killed him?". I become speechless, your majesty, I can not say a word. I can not say that my brother killed him.

LEAN AND HUNGRY LOOKS

The story goes that when someone was accusing them both of plotting against Caesar, he remarked:‘It is not the fat, sleek-headed men I am afraid of, but the pale, lean ones’ – and here he pointed to Brutus and Cassius, the men who were to conspire against him and murder him.

-Plutarch

I'm reading a book on Brutus' reception during the italian renaissance within a broader discussion of parricide and tyrannicide, it's pretty fun!

it's also been a hot minute since I've drawn some dead romans: I wanted to try out some new stuff, redesign brutus for the millionth time, and went looking for that sweet creative inspiration, and tonight I decided I'd finally crack open that roman ornament design book I got back in october and draw some columns.

anyway, I think Brutus is most fun if he stabs Caesar twice :)

Is that why I opened the windows?

Maybe I asked the fog to come…

Uncanny Spider-Man is a fun enough mini but I am begging on my hands and knees to let rushed romances go, you're already asking a lot trying to make me not question the whole creepy crawler thing too much don't ask me to pretend this isn't contrived to give Kurt more drama when there's enough to do with his character as is.
