Alastor isn’t one for kisses, he just slowly and lewdly licks the side of Lucifer’s face and walks away as if it’s the most normal interaction to have in the world

god what really gets me about dead boy detectives and what i think i love so much about the show and the relationships in it is that like. the romantic and sexual relationships aren't portrayed as being more unique or important than the platonic relationships. they're all just RELATIONSHIPS.

charles and crystal's attraction to each other and eventual hookup isn't this big end-all be-all relationship that shatter charles and edwin's friendship and draws charles' attention away from edwin; it's just a THING that happens. they're just two people that care about each other and happen to also be attracted to each other, and a hook-up happens, then they decide that neither of them are in the right place for it and it's nothing awful. crystal kisses charles, but it isn't some big spectacle of her declaring her love for him; it's just her saying goodbye and that she cares about him, like her hugs with niko and jenny and her handshake with edwin.

edwin realizes he loves charles romantically and tells him, and charles says he doesn't really love edwin romantically BACK, but it's okay, because they still love each other so much in so many other ways that this one tiny difference could never change them—and it doesn't!! they're still just as close, still care for each other just as much, still SHOW that care for each other just as much. their relationship didn't completely end because edwin loved charles in a way charles couldn't reciprocate, but at the same time it isn't "solved" by edwin getting over it, because there's nothing TO solve. it's just another type of love, added to everything that already exists between them. and they have LITERALLY FOREVER to figure out what it means.

the relationships between edwin & niko, crystal & niko, and crystal & edwin aren't given any less weight for being solely platonic, just as charles & crystal's relationship and edwin's feelings for charles aren't given (that much) MORE weight for being romantic. crystal and charles' conflict in the closet is about EDWIN, about how they're BOTH his friend and BOTH want to get him back; it has very little to do with the feelings between THEM, romantic or otherwise. similarly, the weight of charles' and edwin's relationship isn't diminished in the LEAST by charles not reciprocating the romantic side of his feelings (or SAYING he doesn't reciprocate, at least—we can all argue about the legitimacy of that in the notes).

i'm sure there are more examples than this, as well as probably some examples that CONTRADICT this, but like... by and large, it feels like dead boy detectives is a show where all the relationships are given equal weight regardless of platonic, sexual, romantic, or familial status, and as someone on both the asexual and aromantic spectrums who has struggled time and time again with shows casting out the importance of all other relationships in favor of prioritizing romance, that is INCREDIBLY refreshing to see.

personally i love the "Jason is the emotional member of the Batfamily" interpretation of the character. He's angry. He's exuberant. His love for his family ballooned so much that it ruptured when he died and swelled into a swollen, unbearable weight when he came back. When he feels his emotions he really feels them - they're so unfathomably big that his body can't contain them.

Bruce never lets himself feel things, Dick knows how to regulate himself to a point, but Jason puts emotions first. He loves fiercely and hates explosively, gets angry and then cools off, lets fear swell & blister until it physically hurts him. And sure, he can't help poking wounds just to make people look at him, but if there's some bullshit happening, he'll be the first to stand up and make a scene. Maybe it won't be the most tactical thing to do, maybe it'll even be detrimental to the goal, but the iron is too hot to temper and sometimes that's a good thing.

Like, i know Jason can be a real punk at times, and i'm not trying to say he's a good role model by any means, but i think it's interesting and even valuable to have a character who puts their emotions first - someone who takes action far more freely and doesn't check themselves like the other characters, who is (for better or for worse) a very passionate person and not afraid of it. I think it's a great to have a character who can't (and ultimately shouldn't) follow the Bats' policies that are just variations of "bottle everything up for the sake of the mission", because they just feel everything so damn much and it's okay because that's just who they are. And i think it works best both narratively and thematically if that character is Jason.

Y'all can we talk about how incredibly traumatizing it would've been for Ray and Maya to be taken from their home and children and kept contained, far away from civilization, not knowing if the people they loved were okay, only having eachother for company, for YEARS??????? Like holy shit that's insanely fucked up. What the fuck Krux.

No one gets me like how Essek Thelyss gets me. Love of my life, he is so perfect in every way I love him so much the brain rot that this will spawn. LONG HAIR HE GREW OUT HIS HAIR!!!!!!! Also Astrid Becke the hottest person ever to grace the Cerberus Assembly, the baddest bitch to usurp the nastiest egg sealed bitch alive! This episode is literally feeding me. So glad BH gets to experience their majesty.

It must be nice to know what eldritch creature you would turn into if the world was just right and you had no help, like it must be kind of reassuring to know you'd still have your thumbs at least, in this way Siffrin is winning at life in other ways not so much

apollo justice: turnabout corner thoughts

for those that missed my first post here, ive recently been playing through the apollo justice game(s) for the first time and ive decided to make this a lil series. ill try to post my thoughts for every case!

to start with: phoenix is just. fuckin immortal?? i mean i know all the jokes n shit but. this man got in a hit n run and flew 30 FEET into a TELEPHONE POLE??? and walked away with a TWISTED ANKLE? this man is a menace. unkillable

i love the trucy and apollo team? like they're very "competent and nosy younger" and "exhausted and cautious older" and i enjoy. trucy does still help a lil much at least in the beginning, but the fuckin mr. hat assassin trick was legitimately hilarious so ill let her have that

apollo got a chance to shine! im definitely feeling the differences in how he and phoenix operate, like apollo is definitely more high-strung, but he's also a lil more assertive at times. i appreciate his approach to things, and i like his "percieve" thing. im not sure quite how it ties into his bracelet, other than obviously a game mechanic for players to more-closely observe the witnesses for tells

KLAVIER. THIS MAN. i thought he was going to be so fucking obnoxious i was fully prepared to be over this man and hating every second of him. but he is so sweet and kind to apollo and trucy just immediately. and for why. what reason does he have to be nice to them. or to help apollo win trials?? he kept continously giving hints, helping both the witness and apollo, and even basically giving apollo the final key to the puzzle (the exhaust). im so curious to his reasoning behind this. is this the first good prosecutor? does he actually care about the truth more than a win? or is he doing this to get close to apollo to understand what happened to his brother? questions, questions, so many questions

im fuckin buzzed to get started on the next case but i got work in the morning so later

I need your thoughts on Joe’Marr’s fight

ahahaha no you dont

no but what??? was ja'marr thinking?????? if you look at the hit:

(excuse the quality i stole this from youtube)

no facemask but what ja'marr really wants is the hip drop call and you can see him already getting pissed right when he pops us

a hip drop tackle has two criteria: 1. the defender grabs the runner with both hands/arms 2. swivels or drops his lower body to weigh down the runner, landing on AND trapping the runner's legs at/below the knee

(you didn't see that press play nuh uh)

now mcduffie does use his weight to bring down ja'marr (which is how pretty much every tackle ever works btw) and he does land over ja'marr's legs but he doesn't trap them or bring his weight down onto the legs. he never even hits the ground. so it aint a hip drop tackle.

so ja'marr goes and yaps at the official for a bit which whatever happens all the time because you're allowed to have your say and joe drags him away BUT! then ja'marr goes back again!! and keeps yapping!!! so he gets the unsportsmanlike which pushed them from about 3rd and 7 to 3rd and 22 which they dont convert of course.

not only was it a completely unnecessary penalty to receive cuz for once the ref actually made the correct call, but ja'marr's still going at joey even when they're trying to huddle for the 3rd down. and even when he gets switched off he's throwing his helmet at the bench and acting pissed with the coaches. there's a lot of immaturity shown there. im pissed as hell when deebo pulls stuff like this and i know bengals fans feel the same way. shit wack.
