#he'll stay dead

Brothers in Blood will trick you into thinking it’s just a silly crack scenario brought to life and Jason just concocted this plan for shits and giggles. Then you get a single page like this:
Nightwing (1996-) #121
that reveals he wanted/desperately needed shreds of acceptance even if it was coated in layers of resentment irritation and doubt after going through this:
Batman (1940-) #650
And it had to be from someone who isn’t Bruce
#jason todd#dick grayson#dc#brothers in blood#look sometimes people need to find the least vulnerable way to be vulnerable and this was that#because the fact is he is vulnerable but the last time he revealed that without undercutting the moment with jokes and giggles#it turned out fabulously wrong for him#if he distracts Dick as much as possible so he'll never find out how much of a mess he is right now or what he actually wants#he can still get that confirmation that Dick cares about him without risking something happening that would be his second final straw#even the telegram where he finally sort of reveals what this was about by thanking Dick for still having his back he has to make it wacky#the ww3 comic that preludes this is even more fascinating#because I do think the cover art is ... impactful?#Jason's holding the Nightwing suit in one hand and the red hood helmet in the other and looking solemnly at his Robin suit glass case#granted it is the pill helmet but still. anyway#he’s doing this not long after Bruce slit his throat and prior to that told Alfred to keep the glass case as in the cave in uth#because meeting Jason again changed nothing and he might as well still be dead to him so that uber-tombstone stays#ofc Jason never heard that convo but it's clear he put the pieces together by himself now while looking at the case#and he’s stranded as to what he should do + silently devastated#because he knows now that he doesn’t matter (in the only way that does matter) to the one person who was the most important in his life#after his parents were gone#so then he decides to come to Dick with this because he really is the only other person who was in his life if only very briefly#anyway that was just my interpretation of that cover but how Jason is actually written in the story is just … off in many ways#but yea#this page and that ww3 cover did kinda solidify what his motivation was for the brothers in blood arc#it was good#if only the execution of everything else was better … The premise/foundation was there

And I saw another beast come up out of the earth...and he spake as a dragon. (Revelation 13:11)
.
The Coronation of His Majesty King Bastian I - The Hour of Wolves
When he was born he was a small thing. A screaming infant, a second son, destined perhaps for military greatness, but never dukedom. Never inheritance. Never conquest.
But at the inception of the light, the birth of the world, the moment between silence and splendor when The Glory breathed across the scope of creation: he was no small thing then.
Even then, he was coming.
His rise runs with blood: knives in the back, poison, betrayal, kidnapping and vengeance.
His rise burns with greatness: glory, family, rescue, love and ferocity.
The secret world recognized him before he knew himself. A fairy witch marked his passing and offered her slender wrist for his talons. A dead sun opens its mouth for him, a vanished Christ is his counterpart, a death knight worships before him, a raven-haired little girl holds the hand of her doting and beloved father.
The world we know calls him king of France, the monarch of a seized throne, a general who has promised the great lords England on its knees.
The Devil, in his own tongue, may call him son. The Glory has said nothing.
Would you know him if you saw him? Would you recognize what he is?
Bow, while you consider, and kiss his ring. There is a crown of flame upon his brow.
#MY SHITTY LITTLE GUY IS KING OF FRANCE BABY#local worst man you have ever met receives ancient crown of charlemagne in a coup with the help of his previously-despised elder brother#god help every last person who stands in his way#he made sure the warring princes locked in civil war were Dealt With (one dead one ~conveniently misplaced~) and stood in paris#before every lord in france with the burgundian army behind him and basically dared them to tell him no#he's a big money no whammies guy so he's promised them england's total surrender within fifteen years#or he'll abdicate#he's here for a legendary time AND a long time#if he can pull this off#(lisbet has received a boon and vision from the sunflower king and invented cannon several decades early so)#(london may be in the hands of the french sooner than we think)#(but then as many would-be conquerors find - you then have the horrors of northern england to deal with)#godspeed you lunatic#I have literally never been more pleased and proud of a fictional creation of mine in my life#he's come so far and also aria and I have made something really incredible#stay tuned friends#he's only going to get worse#heretic

I like to imagine that Rody's dreams have one of three causes.
One being the most likely canon: him sensing the vibes and the narrative plaguing him with visions of his future.
Two being: Vincent staring so hard at him through his window that his desires get through to Rody's dreams.
Three: Manon's ghost projecting some sense into Rody's mind.
#dead plate#manon's ghost: maybe if i plague rody with the horrors he'll stay away from vincent- surely he'll get the message#vince: do i put lemon on him or will that muddle the results? if he kisses me after eating a lemon will that elevate the experience?#<- look at my tumblr username. i support vince's lemon preference. i will project.#rody: wow that was crazy! hope it doesnt mean anything!#limon.txt

the love is stored in presser partners choosing to stay for foreign media segments because the buddy system shant never fail! (but also theyre terribly in love its not even funny like this is just spouse duties like buddy system but they are also married dont forget that)
no it really gets me that matthew was so prepared to leave the minute he was allowed to like a kid hearing the dismissal bell but went WAIT united front united front united front "ill wait for you" and adjusts his shawl so daintly like he meant to do that like he absolutely wasnt gonna book it a second ago...YEAH SUPPORT YOUR SPOUSE YA NUMBSKULL THESE ARE TRYING TIMES
our lady forgot her manners for a second please forgive her she too is going through these trying times...
sasha was absolutely succumbing to the fate of being alone considering how flighty his wife was being beside him but still appreciates the effort nonetheless for staying... the way he was :[ and then absolutely lights up when matthew says that he'll wait and he goes "thank you :)" UNITED FRONTTTTTTTTT THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE THROUGH SICKNESS AND THROUGH HEALTH AND ALSO AWFUL MEDIA SCRUMS APPARENTLY WOOOOOOOO YALL HAVE NOTHING ON WHATEVER THESE TWO GOT GOING ON WOOOOOOOOOO
post practise interview | 6.23.24 (x)
and obviously the most important part in all of this? tit scratch.
#matthew tkachuk#aleksander barkov#florida panthers#2324#playoffs 24#1619 is 1619-ing again#may god help us all#matthew dont leave your spouse to the wolves (media scrum)#if you suffer you suffer together#matthew is so expressive you can genuinely see every single thought that passes through his head#sasha having to deal with his flighty wife#i feel like theres a horse metaphor somewhere in here#the reiteration that he'll wait for him.. YEAH HES A GOOD WIFE DESPITE THE FACT HE ABSOLUTELY GONNA LEAVE SASHA FOR DEAD#BUT WHAT COUNTS IS THAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AGAIN AND DIDNT DO IT#LETS GO USING OUR HEADS FOR A SECOND LONGER AND NOT GIVING INTO OUR IMPULSES 🗣🗣🗣#sasha how do you deal with this id be so offended if he did that to me#LIKE COME BACK HERE NO YOURE GONNA STAY HERE NOW#they are everything to me if we go down with the ship at least we have this

I wonder if Fyodor has kept his distance from Atsushi until now because Byakko's claws can cut through skills. I wonder if this is the moment Atsushi could use his claws. Would they slice right through Fyodor's borrowed body to tear him into the same ribbons as Shibusawa?
Is Fyodor afraid of the absolution Atsushi could give him? Or is he starving for it? Is this what he wanted all along? To find Atsushi at the end, to break him until Byakko tears through Atsushi's flesh and into his?
Nothing is hollow; Fyodor is just so hungry for scraps he can't bear to eat that he calls the viscera contracting around his aching gut nothingness, and garnishes his desires with incorrigible sin because then death might taste like salvation. He craves blood but hates when it touches him, because blood and viscera are too warm, too human; and he isn't that, even though he loves humanity so desperately that he's resolved to leave only when he can take the entire world with him.
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd fyodor#bsd atsushi#everyone's like “what if fyodor wants to die!”#and like no! if he did he could! he doesnt! he doesnt want to die but he cant live with himself either.#and he so desperately wants the world to reflect an inkling of him#having become so isolated and dehumanized in his own mind#ranpo thought people might be monsters but fyodor thinks he's the monster#and it hurts to be rejected by the world and to see it from the underground but never feel worthy of walking underneath its sun#so he's nurtured his hurt into hate and killed himself over and over again trying to know without admitting he wants to be known#briefly glimpses of people like him excite him but he has to believe they arent any different either#because he cant stay. and he cant leave by himself. if the world wouldnt have him alive#then he'll have the world dead#like two skeletons entangled in a lovers embrace he will take the humanity he thinks he was denied and girdle it like wisteria#until they suffocate together#and if he calls that salvation. maybe it will feel that way#even if only for a moment#he will be killed by the gift most embodying life because although he perceives life as an act of violence against him#he wants its embrace so badly#that he'll take the facsimile of it#so long as he and his lover die together before the bitter reality of what he's done can settle on his tongue#fun fact btw. that is suicidality. it's not wanting to die. it's not knowing how to live as you are. and it's impulse.#anyway! life and death and life and death and silly fyodor#jinko is mikan and his hungry hungry boyfriend is coming to bask in the euphoria of being alive

they had to hire kit as a ranch hand on very short notice. they bought an old camper from the 70s and put it on the property for him to live in. we're not sure which is weirder, that kit showed up with nothing when he moved in or that they hung a goat head in the kitchen before he got there.
#it is VERY serious to me.#i couldn't wait until tomorrow to show you <3333#still need to build the real ranch house but i want to wait for the new build items and all that#i said i am going to build the most non-functional place for kit to stay#i had every intention of making it functional then i said oooo :) mimoto silent hill fridge :) and then it was over#it's fine i'll give him a room in the ranch house he does go in there sometimes#he'll stay in their dead son's room who kit reminds them of#ts4#ts4 build#the sims 4#ts4 interior#kit

Death's in comics just don't do anything for me. Why would I be sad, they'll come back? Like what you're telling me a big character is done? Dead? Never coming back? Bffr give it a few months.
#comics#dc comics#marvel comics#im reading new xmen and Northstar is dead and everyone is mourning but im like 🤷♀️ i know he'll come back eventually#jean paul beaubier#jason todd#didnt stay dead#bucky barnes#im sure thell be back#robin#batman#comic books#northstar#ya got dc killing off the justice League every five minutes#everyon looked annoyed at their funeral#superman#how many deaths has he had? its just expensive at this poin!#do you have to give them a funeral every time? unnecessary mourning is expensive and a waste who hasn't died!#what do they do with the memorials after! 'here lies ______ rip hero✊“ (actually they came back 260 days later so.... welcome back?)

when i was a kid the church songs i gravitated twoards were definitely always the ones like "how great thou art" and "on eagle's wings" - basically anything that mentioned the natural world or a cool animal. songs of faith and tradition did nothing for me, amazing grace was a nothing song, the bread of life was a NOTHING song. but a voice crying out in the wilderness? oh?? say more
and then they dont say more. and you have to figure out whether you believe regardless. and that's what religion is
#this sounds like pessimism but i swear it's not it's just a religious breakthrough i had driving to work yesterday#it's soo much easier to believe in religion when you know it's fake. that doesnt make sense#what i mean is: with christianity. the expectation is that it will Return somehow . he died but he'll be back#if he'd died and stayed dead and there was never any expectation of his return. he'd be easier for me to believe in#does that make sense#because he's not this nebulous future state. he's gone and we'll never know anything else. but the things which are sacred to the god#those still remain#the crows outside. the mice i trap. the roadsides i clear of litter in spring. the crick. the eagles again. the way they've rebounded#that's real and i believe in it and it is sacred . and i can do something tangible about that and that's worship#towards a unified theory of my own spiritual believes - finally - because i remembered what i was on the verge of believing when i was 13

something something foils moving in opposite directions Goku's always happy to seek and fight stronger opponents because he spent most of his life being the strongest guy in the room and Vegeta wants to be the strongest/is always exhausted to find stronger opponents because he spent most of his life having to navigate his survival around the whims of the strongest guy in the universe room and so Goku has a foundation of safety and stability and so spends his time craving challenge and adventure and Vegeta has a foundation of challenge and adventure and spends his time craving safety and stability and the overlaid section of their venn diagram is that the only way they know how acquire and maintain those things is through battle
#thank you this has been the laziest media analysis post of my career#dbtag#media analysis#something something a game to goku is a threat to vegeta etc#there's a pinned thought here about how Vegeta also didn't learn about the dragon balls until he was ?? 30?? and so all loss is permanent#and goku has been familiar since he was ~12 and hasn't faced a permanent consequence since he was 10 years old and even then he got closure#sometimes I think about how Vegeta saw Trunks die and how Krillin was mad at him for reacting since they could fix it with the dragon balls#but Vegeta has very limited experience with the dragon so to him in that moment that was permanent and Trunks was Dead. Forever.#And we talked before in a 2am post about Vegeta having never experienced grief born of love and I stand by it because his feelings then wer#still very new and very odd and not something he'd accepted until that moment so it was raw power but not as powerful as it could've been#all this to say in my heart of hearts I think Vegeta deserves to retire at the end of super (if super continues) -- not as a warrior#but as an infantryman. he's a prince and now he's got his domain and his family and his planet to look after and I think he deserves#to go home and stay home and help piccolo bully gohan into training more often when goku inevitably leaves to hop the multiverse#geets wanted to take a sabbatical when Bulla was born but didn't get the chance because Freeza coming back freaked him out too much#but whether freeza gets a redemption arc or gets defeated -- Granolah's arc seemed to shift his perspective on being the strongest#and I just grips fist I just think it would be a really nice full circle for Vegeta to inherit his throne in a way he never expected and#finally get his kingdom to look after and protect in the way that he was looking forward to being king of his own planet all those years ag#Goku's got Broly and Jiren and Hit and all the others to keep him busy and happy now -- and if Freeza gets a redemption arc he'll probably#continue playing slap-ass with Goku for the rest of his life -- and Vegeta's got Gohan and Piccolo and Goten and Trunks#I just think them getting a nice bittersweet 'This is where we part ways' would be really nice for both of them because !!#They couldn't have done this without each other. They couldn't have known this kind of life was possible without each other.#So they swap lots and live happier than they ever imagined they could be#especially since Vegeta has proved to himself that he can close any gap Goku creates in progress that's not a concern anymore#And obvs the door's always open!! There's no point closing it Vegeta's tried the locks they don't work on Goku#anyway here's me putting the whole essay in the tags again#this isn't an essay as much as it is stream of consciousness tag blogging#anyway i'm too lazy to write fic or draw comics so we get ramblings instead

Just read the leaks about Jason and I've currently got a betting pool with my friend about whether or not he'll stay dead for real this time and I need you guys' input on what you think
#She thinks he'll stay dead for real this time because of the effect it'll have#But I think he'll come back eventually because storylines and also DC cannot commit to the permanent death of a character#What do you guys think?

Kabuto has appeared! What do you do?
"Well... at least this is somewhat tame compared to the other results I see others get. Lets see what people would pick..."
#dash games#stolen from sakura#I highly recommend not playing dead or confessing#kabuto will make SURE you stay dead and he'll definitely tell Orochimaru about your secret

it spins the needle
it spins the needle—kneads the dough,
counts the days as they
roll—by—
one. three? ah
another year’s gone by.
it comes alive at first light
tucks monsters in bed sweet night
swathes a baby furry—
but to silence his plight
it would pluck the powder from a bullet
pull it from its sheath:
the flesh of its body so tender so frail but
sings the strength of a thousand men?
it does: all
so i am a little less afraid. a little warmer
so i am able to taste what it means
to love, and be loved in return.
it is not a weak thing, cannot be.
#writeblr#poetry#dead poets society#spilled ink#i wrote this for my mom#“baby furry” aka my cat lolol#he'll be yowling at 3 in the morning and then i'll hear the click of a door and the rustle of careful footsteps#soft coos asking if he's hungry or something#she'll stay with him until the first hour of sunrise to make sure he doesn't wake us up#i love her but i make her sad a lot#it's the other way around sometimes#i imagine time travels very fast after childbirth#something to do with how happy it makes you in the beginning and the depression that comes with the later episodes
