hate when people think the only archetype possible for a male sidekick to a female protagonist is a soft boi and/or himbo. like the implication there is that the only reason a man would ever defer to a woman’s authority is if he was a bumbling idiot. love male supporting characters who are smart and strong and confident and can step up when necessary but still kind and humble enough to let someone else take the lead most of the time

A lone swordsman stands in the chamber. He seems... quite lost.

Being someone who read Under The Red Hood and came out with the firm belief that, for Jason, it's not about killing Joker, it's about Jason wanting proof Batman would choose him over the Joker (bc shelia chose the joker). Makes seeing any other media where it's all about just wanting the Joker dead is a teeny bit frustrating. to be honest

Jason could've killed the Joker himself, really, really easily. Jason kidnaps the Joker before the confrontation. I can't open my comic for a reference right now, but it felt like he had the Joker for quite a bit before the confrontation. He had him. He beat him up with a crowbar. He had every single opportunity to kill the Joker himself, but he didn't because that wasn't his goal. Make no mistake, he did plan for the Joker to be dead by the end of it, but do you see what im trying to say here

Edit: If I knew this post was gonna get 1000+ notes I would've tried to word it better or something, this was a rant I made on the way to the grocery store 😭

It's not about making Batman kill either. When Batman says he won't kill, Jason adjusts and goes, 'Let ME kill the Joker or kill me to stop me' instead. The test is all about Batman choosing him. The whole final confrontation is Jason's first death again. The parent, The Joker, and the explosives. It even ends with Jason unable to move as a bomb goes off right next to him again because the parent didn't choose Jason. And instead tried finding an option that'd benefit them and (consequencely) letting the Joker walk, again, lol, lmao <-in agony

ghost who works with abused dogs because he can relate to their fear and anger and soap who's terrified of dogs but needs a service animal after he gets shot

ghost who's covered in just as many bite scars and scratches as he is scars from his childhood and the military, but he never holds it against a single dog

he knows what it's like to feel trapped and think you only have one way out

he sits through the barking and the lunges, steadily gets closer as he gently talks with each dog, apologises when he moves too quick and gets bitten because it's always his fault, never the dog's. no one bites for no reason

the pride he feels when he gets to share their blanket for the first time is only matched by the day of their adoption

it’s soap's friend’s idea to bring him to check out a dog to foster while his service dog goes through training. he knows he's uncomfortable around dogs - he never made a production out of it but you can only duck around someone so they’re in between you and a dog so many times before they pick something up - but he just thinks he's not used to them and being around one will be enough to calm him down

soap knows he needs a service animal; both for medical reasons and help with every day tasks but also for emotional regulation. he pings from depression to apathy to white hot rage so quick it exhausts him; he's so tired of blowing up at people just because he can't keep his head on straight

he needs a service dog

but just hearing the barking from outside has him so on edge, he's almost sick from it

a volunteer shows them all the dogs available to foster. his friend gushes over every single one; cooing about how cute and sweet they look, just darling things, encouraging them to jump up on their barrier and play tug with their toys, and “come on soap, say hello”

soap keeps his distance, smiling thinly as the volunteer introduces each dog

but ghost happens to be in one of the kennels working with his latest trouble case

and he can plainly see how terrified soap is, no matter how well he thinks he’s hiding it

he flinches at every bark, his hands fisted at his sides, but his friend just doesn't notice; too occupied with the lab mix he’s playing with. ghost can see just how tight he's winding up, the tension creeping up his spine, his “smile” twitching uncontrollably, and it doesn't surprise him in the slightest when he finally snaps at his friend to “just fuck off, alright!” after he keeps pushing him to get closer to the dogs

the abrupt silence is tight and judgmental; the friend giving him a wild look. soap gives a short apology, still angry even though if anyone just took the time to look, it’d be clear he doesn't want to be, and storms out while his friend apologises to the volunteer; dripping with shame and embarrassment that sets ghost's teeth on edge

he could've stopped a dozen times before soap blew up, should've seen the warning signs that he was getting overwhelmed and afraid long before he got to that point

he spreads out a few treats for his dog, both a reward for his patience and an apology for prematurely ending their time together, slowly getting to his feet. he heads outside to find soap in the alley beside the shelter, swearing at himself under his breath and looking seconds away from punching the brick

and when soap snaps, “enjoying the show?”, squaring up with his teeth bared, ghost just leans back against the wall; open and non-threatening and waits for soap to come to him

just ghost who knows what it's like to be angry and afraid and has the patience to help soap feel more in control of himself, never flinching from his bark or his involuntary bite, as well as help him through his fear in time for his service dog

jason todd whos lowk insane so when he gets a handwritten note from you he keeps it (very normal!) and then wonders if he should learn to forge your handwriting so he can write notes to himself and pretend its from you (not normal!!!) instead of just asking you to write him more because hes really embarrassed to admit he that he loves when you leave little notes for him

controversial take but I truly think that if you are using indigenous status in the i/p debate, you need to be able to look at the officially recognized definition for indigeneity and explain how x fit that

Not saying Papa V wasn't maybe raised Catholic, because there's lore implications in the interviews etc. that leave that as a possibility, and telling people what HC to have, but the guy in the Satanized music video is not Papa V before he became Papa. Papa singing about something doesn't necessarily mean it's him. A similar thing can be easily seen in the He Is music video where they're criticising the behaviour of sects etc.

Tender Father says so himself in the Brent Porche interview (YT Link for those without a Vimeo account here) at around 5:20. Here's a clip of the important part:

"We have a ton of songs - Satanized being one - where technically our singer, in this case Papa V Perpetua, is singing pretending to be a fictional other person.

So any time that you hear our singer, whomever I've sung in the past, singing the word "I", or a song that's in I-form, it doesn't mean that it's that character singing about himself.

In this case, same thing, Satanized is written in I-form from a perspective of a, technically like, simply put, a religious person, who confuses the feeling of being in love with being possessed by an, you know, some unearthly being from another dimension possessing his, in this case, soul and tearing it apart. Because that's how it feels."

It's also been thought, that feelings like that is the devil's work.

So, when it comes to making a video for that, it becomes a little weird if you put Papa there just singing that song. So therefore we had to essentially (chuckles) get an actor in to serve as the main character, in the I-form."

Again, I'm not saying "Don't have this or that headcanon", or "He's 1000% never been catholic". I'm just pointing out basic stylistic devices such as the Lyrical I.

With MR Mychael would he be more forceful/violent with keeping the MC? I was just thinking about it and he’s not a pacifist like normal Mychael.

Also I love the silly MR Mychael I want to squish his cheeks even if he’ll kill me for it afterwards.

For context! With his personality and beliefs? I think so. I definitely see him using more direct/aggressive means to get what he wants, even if it's forceful. He has more to lose if he lets you go just like that, especially after getting attached.

I think the first half already answers the question but a little bit of an extra ramble below:

While both Mychaels went through the same amount of hostility throughout their life, OG!Mychael has the advantage of de-escalating situations with his hypnosis.

MR!Mychael does not. Not only that, he's been exposed to direct vitriol at the sight of him. So his instincts are resorting to fight/flight/fawn/freeze no matter what. In this case, it's fight.

To him, keeping you to himself is the least he deserves.
