Okay I’m gonna drop an unpopular opinion here

I really

Really

Really

Hate the Jason and Damian met in the league and have a close brotherly relationship

I honestly think it detracts from BOTH of their development and makes both the characters a lot more 2D and boring.

And also I think it disrespects my GIRL Stephanie brown. Bc that close personal bickering, anything goes sibling shit? Yeah that’s Damian and Steph all the way.

And yeah I tend to credit Dick Grayson (bc he’s my boy) for a lot of the Growth Damian goes through. But Stephanie brown and him have the funniest sibling relationship in history

And I think to have as interesting of a development as Damian has had you needed characters like Dick and Steph to be his Batman and Batgirl.

Dick who I think we can all agree is objectively the least violent of the bats at a baseline (Richard crash out Grayson moments notwithstanding) as well as Steph. Both have angry moments of doling out justice but BOTH prefer rehabilitation methods and tend to be more mouthy and loud about their thoughts during a battle

Steph CLAWED her way up into her position, she fought for that and held on with an iron grip that left indents. She wasn’t as good as, Dick born acrobat Grayson, Barbara prodigy Gordon and Tim genius Drake. So she worked her ass off and FORCED people to pay attention to her and got good enough that she matches the rest of the bats on the field.

Dick HAS the experience of working with difficult cases. He’s lead teams his age filled with drama, infighting and death successfully, he’s trained kids younger than him successfully on panel.

He’s canonically a very adaptable teacher, who has strength in meeting you where you’re at and getting you to move to where you want to be.

Both these things helped Damian exponentially

Now let me be so clear.

Damian did the work.

Damian put in the blood, sweat and tears into changing his beliefs and perceptions of the world. But that would not have been possible if these two didn’t at least make it known that “hey you can be the kind of person who cares and still have value and not be weak and pathetic”

Damian going vegetarian/vegan bc of his morals, Damian choosing not to kill, Damian choosing to leave Robin, Damian making choices unrelated to mantles, regrets and vengeance. Is due to the fact that he had Dick Grayson and Stephanie brown as examples (now ofc Alfred was also very very very imp but I feel like no one ignores his significance so I don’t feel the need to add him here)

And Jason?

It also imo, FUCK UP JAYS DEVELOPMENT.

Bc if Jason could be this kind, empathic older sibling to Damian? WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK WAS HE DOING WHEN HE FIRST CAME TO GOTHAM? the way he treated the bats and the rogues gallery? Slaughtering all of blackgate to end up in Arkham, making dick watch him fall to his ‘death’.

No absolutely not

This is the ‘pit madness’ nonsense all over again

Jason had to see the world outside of Gotham and work with other people who were anti-heroes who fall into the category.

Bc Jason didn’t start out as an antihero

Jason was a full on villain with a grudge against other villains, he worked for the place he’s in. It’s bc of characters he interacted with, it’s bc of realizations he’s dealt with. It’s because he’s been a little too trigger happy in the wrong place and ended up looking at the grief he caused others and realizing he didn’t want to do that.

It gets rid of Jason realizing HE CAN work with his family.

It gets rid of Jason BECOMING a solid older brother to Tim and erases the Jason who WANTS to have a relationship with his family.

It erases all of the times he’s tried and failed and still got up and tried again

Both of them have grown bc of the people around them and I think if they had each other at that time it would’ve gone 1 of 2 ways

1) a toxic loop re-establishing bad beliefs and practices that damage both of them and leave them more resentful and stuck in their ways

2) they would’ve hated each other and tried to kill each other

In summary

-both these characters didn’t show up nice, they worked for it, don’t erase that

- don’t erase the characters that helped them grow (my girl Steph Brown being left out of conversations she started will kill me)

- Jason can have close relationships with the family im not saying he shouldn’t. I’m just saying that Jay is the cool older brother who very obviously loves you but was at college when you were a kid and now doesn’t really know how to interact with you and it’s awkward but you know you can go to him even if he isn’t your first call in most situations

- Damian was not a good person, he CHOSE to be that’s important to his growth. And with that growth came the ability to form the close connections he now has in canon. Without the growth he undergoes he wouldn’t be able to form the protective loving group of family and friends he has around him

- STOP IGNORING STEPH, I AM LITERALLY A DICK GRAYSON STAN ACCOUNT AND I AM OVERHERE TRYING TO GET CRUMBS OF MY GIRL OHMYGOD

- I would highkey love a short miniseries of Jason and Damian working together and developing a nice relationship both in and out of the masks but until we get that. I’m sticking to awkward brother that loves you but doesn’t get you at all

Also if you disagree/ have more nuanced takes on the Jay Damian sibling arc please leave in the reblogs and comments, I like hearing more nuanced takes and discussing just please don’t be a dick (hehe) about it

[jeahreading]

What is jeah reading tho?

You're asking a very dangerous question. If you truly want the answer, send an ask again, and I will post it with the compiled list of what I am "reading."

Alright let's go season 10 predictions.

There will be at least one new Hermit, Probably Skizz, But I also think it's highly likely Joel and Lizzie also join - really hoping for this, Skizz is great, Joel is an amazing builder and has fun interactions with the others (expect his episode one to be dominated by Boat Boys and Neck Kissing Jokes) and Lizzie is also great at Building and would be another edition to the Hermit Girls Murder Group (before any of yall say Stress and Lizzie aren't murderes - they are.)

Soup Group won't base ontop of each other, but they will be relatively close and will commit shenanigans together. Someone else will also base near them and join the shenanigans- maybe Cleo, Stress or False, Mabye Scar if he isn't with buttercups, maybe Lizzie if she's added.

If Skizz is added he doesn't make his own base and instead joins another Hermit and lives in there's, helping with building, Probably Impulse or Tango.

Buttercups will base superclose to each other, its tradition at this point.

Doc will continue to break the game in increasing absurd ways.

If there are new Hermits, Joe sings a little song to welcome them - and then The Hermit Girls Murder Group welcomes them with murder.

Gem keeps the head collecting going - especially if there's new Hermits

Tango (and probably some others) will start the season late. They bloody deserve it.

Someone acidentally breaks the game in the first 5 episodes.

A war starts within the first 25 episodes.

A Spawn area will be on an island.

[sir-ballister-boldheart]

Guuuyyyyssss!?! I need help!! Where is that one Goldenheart realistic painting where they are both superclose, like almost in your face close, and holding their swords on each other's throats? I forgot the name of the artist and I have too many fanarts reblogged D:

[petit-papillion]

Questions I still have...

Will we see Charles and Lewis do silly CL²H Challenges?

And if so, are they going to make them sit superclose together and blindfold each other like they did with C²?

Will there be a cooking challenge where Lewis can teach Charles to prepare a vegan meal and Charles teaches Lewis to make crunchy pasta?

Speaking of, will Mamma Rossella add a vegan pasta dish to the menu of Ristorante Montana?

Is Roscoe going to get his own All Access Ferrari garage pass?

What will Lewis respond to, "We're thinking Plan F."?

Who will learn Italian faster, Fred or Lewis?

Will Lewis still be permitted to go skydiving, and if so, will he take Charles along with him?

How long will it take before Lewis gets a prancing horse tattoo? ...And will he be able to convince Charles to get one as well?

Luke Castellan is still the best tragic villain/ fallen hero of all fiction. And I don't like how the show is doing him, he is too nice, he should be angrier. The Book character is perfect. I don't even think Uncle Rick knows what a masterpiece of a character he created. The only thing that should be changed is his last line to Annabeth, and even that I always read it in a platonic way. But the thing with Luke is that it hits you later. You are so angry with him after the betrayal, after that he is the main villain and does terrible things, and you want him gone, until he is bleeding on the floor still asking for others. Until he dies and you think of May Castellan alone in her kitchen waiting for a kid that is already gone. Until Percy asks for the drape.Until you read the secret diaries and realised how much he cared. Until you read the sequels and see that despite everything Zeus still acts the same. That when it gets you. That where I think the pjo show failed, too much explaining, we need to SEE this character arch. He should be scary right know, I still think the betrayal scene in the books is PERFECT. Percy is 12, Luke is 19 there is no way they are on the same level, that was a major point in the books. Also another major plot point I don't see enough is how Luke and Percy weren't friends. Maybe Luke had a sorta of mentor role for Percy in the first book, but the fact that they weren't superclose and Percy only got to know him through others is really important for the phrofechy and also what allows Percy to make the choice at the end of the last olympian. They have a much more complex connection that simply hero Vs villain and I wish more people could see that.

https://www.tumblr.com/taehyungfirst/749313365876391936/who-do-you-think-tae-is-most-closest-to-which?source=share

OP here

I also think Tae is closest to Soejoon but more in the way of admiration like hyung is so cool crush kinda way. But after that I think Tae and wooshik is the closest like they can tell each other anything, chingu types.

For BTS , I think Tae is closest to Hobi and JK. Sometimes I don't understand with whom more. But with hobi, I feel hobi is closest to everyone like Jimin, jk, Tae, suga but doesn't have very intense/fav kinda relationship. Like his friendship with everyone is sweet and fun and he is kinda person who listen to people's problems but is strict in a sense and doesn't get too emotionally involved. Like he may choose jm as a fav of his only bcoz they've been roomates for so long. Not sure if Im making sense with hobi. With JK, I think Tae had been superclose even before debut but it's entirely different from what he has with hobi or Jin. More like vmin soulmate kinda relation in taekook but more intense? Deep? Idk I think I would like to see a kdrama with all the footage bighit hides of taekook. So yeah I guess he is closest to Jungkook.

Hi! Yes, on the Seojoon thing I agree!! Tae def admires him a lot, and Seojoon clearly adores him so I think they have a cute dynamic. With Wooshik they become the chaotic duo and it’s very funny. I find so sweet how every member of Wooga dotes on Taehyung, he’s the baby in every single context.

One thing I found sweet about Vhope, was Taehyung working hard to get praises from Hobi, he clearly looks up to him a lot but then again yes, Hobi acts the same with all of them, he cares about all of them and maybe he’s more leaning towards Jm. Not that he made it subtle anyways.

Taekook are the same person in two different bodies, soul twins one would say.

I hate it too.

It probably seems silly to lots of you, "hurr hurr I hate the things that help me", but trust me, you would too. I hate it because I don't get a choice.

Theres a reason we call therapy "doing the work". I hate that all this work uses up the time and energy I want for making art, or learning a new skill, or connecting with a loved one.

I hate being trapped inside my own horizon.

I hate excercise because it's work, it literally hurts, I have to push through an awful experience, paying superclose attention the whole time because if I do it wrong I'll hurt myself worse, just hoping there will be a (delayed) positive effect.

I hate eating better because it's work, it takes so much time, I have to plan around my dependent's needs and schedules as well, and there's always some last minute change I have to adjust for and then i have to wash the fucking dishes too.

I hate externaizing everything in my journal because it's work, it takes forever to sort through what I'm feeling and why and what I should do about it, I usually have to do it in little bits over the day so it's constatly hanging over my head, it's emotionally exhausting.

I hate being patient and kind with myself, it's work, it takes a lot of self talking about truly insignificant things and it makes me cry. Sometimes in public.

I hate being mindful in the moment because regardless of how beautiful the world is right then and there, or how many things I can see/hear/smell/touch, or how deep my breaths are ... I cannot stay in that moment. All the stresses and fears and demands are still there. They never get smaller or easier to bear, because they are real. It's that moment of rest that is the illusion.

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.

hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.

hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy

hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it

hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently

hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love

horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

their idea of flirting is standing superclose and staring into each other's eyes but not sexily. they're just staring unblinkingly till the point of tears

Girl, so confusing!

The fact that you think J2 tinhats are crazy, but yet cockles truthers have any credibility at all is hilarious to me. Honey, all Jensen-related tinhats, cockles and J2 alike, are delusional, but at least J2 had years of being very close and evidence of hanging out and even living together to fuel their imagination. Jensen and Misha are work friends at best, with one publicity boat trip between them, and have rarely been seen hanging out alone. And it’s not because they can’t control themselves around each other in public (real humans aren’t dogs in heat). You make a good point that none of us know these people in real life or how they feel, but there is literally no reason to believe any of them are romantically involved with each other expect that it fulfills people's fantasies. None of them see each other any more except on con weekends, so …

Also, shipping real people so you can use them as masturbation fodder while cloaking this in false care about reorientation and phony activism is incredibly cringy. It’s even worse than trying to make an actor admit your ship is real even though he’s made it perfectly clear multiple times he doesn’t personally agree and didn’t play his character that way.

All tinhats need to step away from their computers and interact with humans in person.

Girl, all your arguments had been single-handedly destroyed long time ago by Jensen Ackles himself. He actually posted the 10th anniversary of his relationship with Misha, confirming cockles has been a long term romantic relationship

Sorry, cockles is real. Jensen and Misha are in love. I don't ship them, I just see the truth. You just happen to be too stupid and homophobic to realize it 🤷‍♂️

A small frown when the other flirted right away- or at least complimented him which was not something he usually minded but… Well roommates and all. He did not comment on it for now and instead just nodded- as if he had not fully grasped what the other had meant. He could feign innocence by the mere mention of being an alien, right? The fact that he had lived here since the seventies was not important.

“They moved away- they’re now with their partner I think.” A shrug, the alien was not superclose to the fairy mentioned but used to hang out with them every now and then. So now their friendship was mostly sending memes and funny videos whenever they had the time.

The pup gave a soft bark and then ran away to their master again. Looking at the stranger as they saved a scan of the other’s features to their database. Zitao nodded now as he picked up the android pup and then looked at August. “She can do anything a normal computer can and then some. Though she only listens to me and no one else.” No funny business, Mr. Fairy. He pet the pup and looked at the other before putting Kandi back in their little basket and whispered something in their native tongue. Kandi closed its eyes and went to ‘sleep’.

Finally Zitao smiled at the mention of fresh produce. “Your family are farmers?” he asked and there was a warmth in his voice. He had always romanticised the idea of becoming a farmer in his mind. All to care about being beets and carrots- it seemed like a utopia. Though he had never given up his other dreams and ambitions- so he never got to live that dream.

“I do.” he did not know why the other seemed interested in weapons. It was not something he would have assumed August to like. “Anything really, mostly firearms and plasma guns.” he explained but did not move to show the other “Why? Do you shoot?” he asked as his head tilted a little- wondering if he was about to be proven wrong about his new roommate.

Glitter enters the chat ~ august & zitao
