“ can you handle that ? ” STARRING @obsessher
men like him didn’t belong in places like these. a place where the boarded up windows meant reprieve for the sinners inside and an act of kindness for those passing by. a curious eye could easily peer through the slits of the makeshift blocks but all they would see would be a bar that looked like the years had taken their toll. the floors of the establishment were scratched in jagged lines from chairs dragged in drunken stupors and the chalkboard menu seemed to have an ever present dusting of white despite the elbow grease the bartender put in to wipe it clear every afternoon. but that was all just surface level shit. peel back a few more wooden planks and maybe then they’d catch sight of the lazy flutter of velvet curtains leading to seedy back rooms where morals were loose and wallets were looser. it was then that maxine decided, men like him definitely belonged in places like these but most didn’t have the balls to walk in like a sore thumb so brazenly.
it wasn’t that she took an interest in the put together stranger, but curiosity edged her on like a cat counting down its nine lives. in said feline motion she stretched her arms across the counter in one fluid slide of her body and rested her chin on the crook of her elbow. she batted her thick lashes at him tauntingly. ❝ why ? you one of ‘em guys that think girls can’t hold down their liquor ? ❞ when she sat back up, she raised her glass of beer to her lips. without taking her eyes off him, she chugged the remainder of her drink and rested the glass back on the counter with a harsh thud. the coy grin on her lips was sharper than it had been before. ❝ your question answered, time for mine. what’cha doing here, mister button-up ? ❞

This is jumping the queue bc some really cool people reblogged my last post of Corey and they escaped containment.
Updated sidestep design perpetual WIP
Sidestep days vs retribution. They're slowly reacquiring their self expression. Next book will probably be the full return of the scene/punk look
Bonus Corey sans most of their clothing to show off their tattoos under the cut. CW for healed SH scars

God I wish we knew more about what specifically was going thru Jason’s head after his fight with Bruce, because essentially his entire worldview has been collapsed. He’s spent the past however many years believing that Bruce is ultimately responsible for the pain that he feels, that the entire Batman thing does nothing but harm others, and that the only way he will “get better” is by killing Bruce.
Finding out that he was apart of Jokers plan all along, and that no, Bruce actually DOES care about him and regret what happened, and actively WANTS to make it right by working together with him has to be insanely difficult for him. By the time he shows back up in game to paint the red hood symbols and get ready to save Bruce, he’s figured out that Scarecrow is going to finish the plan and kill Bruce and that he actually…doesn’t want that. And from there on now Jason has to spend time trying to figure out who he is again.
Not only did Joker put ideas in Jason’s head, but Jason also has spend the past few years with one goal in mind, kill Bruce. As far as I know he hasn’t spent any extra time on a side gig or playing some video game that he likes lol. So he needs to find himself again and figure out how to trust his thoughts and ideas and try to free himself from the joker.

Umm something something connor telling roman that everyone in the room thinks he’s a joke except willa so he’s going to listen to her opinion while the same could be said for roman and gerri but he didn’t listen to her and in fact pushed her away to the point that she will no longer advise him or look out for him…anyway just some thoughts that make me cry and want to throw up :)

also even though saturday was mildly horrific tuesday was somehow WORSE????? it was my head supervisor, this guy i've worked with before who scares me, and this girl who i hadn't met yet and it was so bad oh god it was so so so so bad an absolute nightmare so that was the first time i worked during the day and it was surprisingly dead .__. which SUCKED because there was FOUR of us..... i wanted to end it all so bad like every time i made a drink at least ONE person would be watching me like 👁️___👁️ and if it's my head supervisor who's watching me then okay i get that because she's a supervisor but i don't know why my other coworkers were staring at me !?!?!?! i get it was DEAD but we're allowed to go on our phones if it's dead and there's nothing to do!!!!
anyway it was mainly the other girl who was watching me alongside my head supervisor and idk if it's because she was told to but . they would correct me whenever i made a mistake which was fine and that's what happened during the prev shifts but idk why i felt so TENSE and bad about this time??? anyway i felt like an idiot the whole time and what ended up killing me in the end was when i was making a drink for the customer and my head supervisor was watching me but also kinda talking to me and i just had to pour a little bit of tea into the cup and then seal it with the lid. i forgot which tea it was and i looked down at the label on the cup and i was JUST about to reach for the correct tea when the SCARY GUY reached out to tap the tea container somewhat intensely and was like 'it's this one' and i almost DISINTEGRATED ON THE SPOT HE SOUNDED SO MAD ???? and i looked at him and i couldn't tell if he was side-eyeing me or not because he turned away kinda fast and i was just ???
like my supervisors told me it's okay if i'm not fast and if i look at the label multiple times and idk that was just so weird because he was so intense about it??? and it's not like !!! we were rushing or anything it was literally just one customer?? and idk ive only worked with him twice but i feel like he already doesn't like meeeee like he talks with the other employees like ^__^ but when he talks to me it's very blunt and he only speaks to me when absolutely necessary and it just feels so bad i hate being around him i feel like he wants to take me out (negative)
