Something so ineffable about exhaustion that comes not from a lack of sleep but from a lack of rest

#neeed a day where I’m doing nothing but I don’t think that’s forthcoming #I was out all day + forced myself to hit the gym before coming home and I am TIRED #it took a hot shower to feel my bones. and now I have to study. and then I have somewhere to be tomorrow #and then I go back to the neuro clinic on Monday. which is FUN I love it #but I don’t think I can be fully present in anything if I’m so divided between everything #multitasking is an absolute must but I think downsizing just a little bit will probably mean I get to be a healthier vessel #I just need time to chill in bed and watch silly movies and read books and chart stars and count rocks idk

bman and jason have a seriously strained relationship as is, and our braindead coma patients at DC have no interest in fixing it because Drama Sells, so what do you think would genuinely help these two get back to something real?

Ooh, great question, Anon! Thank you :)

So, right if the bat (pun intended) we know that Bruce and Jason don’t get along well, specifically because of their dissimilar morals.

In DC comics, Bruce only sees in a black or white, this or that way of thinking. It’s either ‘continue to fight crime and leave the rest to the justice system’ OR ‘focus on controlling crime and killing criminals to protect others’. Jason on the other hand sees both of these as opposing morals, and he also recognizes that there is a middle ground which is ‘get rid of the absolute worst of them’. Because Jason understands Bruce, he knows that nothing will make Bruce take a life or do things differently (I mean, his own death didn’t make a difference to Bruce’s morals), but Jason also believes that Bruce doesn’t have to change who he is, he just needs to accept that Jason’s methods are right for Gotham. Ultimately Bruce killing Joker for Jason would have helped their relationship, because Jason would have known that he was loved and his life was worth more than the clown’s. And in UTRH Jason says “I’m not talking about cobblepot or riddler or Dent… I’m talking about him, just him” Bare with me, I know that Jason says this regarding Bruce killing Joker for a different reason being -Joker’s crime was a lot more personal. However I still feel like regardless if Joker hadn’t killed Jason, Jason would still feel the same way about Joker- meaning he’d still think Joker deserves to die because of the sheer brutality and sadism and absolute power the clown has on Gotham & it’s people. (More than any other Gotham city rogues!)

So back to the point, if Bruce acknowledged (like Jason does!) the middle ground of killing the worst of the worst, then that would bring the two closer together.

Listen, I get that Bruce killing would forever change ‘The Batman’, but Bruce doesn’t have to kill people to accept the ideology because he knows Jason is right, he knows crime is down because of Jason. But NO!, DC has to make him beat the shit out of his son instead of having a fucking conversation.

Which brings me to this point. For some reason DC seems to think that these two have to fight no matter what. If they went to have soup with Alfred they’d still end up punching each other for whatever reason. It’s ridiculous. Is this what they think readers want? I completely agree with you, Anon. Drama sells, unfortunately.

The next point is that Bruce needs to actually have faith in his son because guess what?, Jason needs his father’s support to do good. Actual good. Bruce second guessing Jason and not trusting him with missions is exactly what gets Jason frustrated, causing him to feel inferior, worthless, or unlovable in Bruce’s eyes. From a psychological perspective, if Bruce trusted Jason and told him he trusted him, Jason would feel so much better about himself and their relationship. It’s so much better for a child to prove their parents are right for trusting them (motivating them positively) than having a child strive to prove their parents wrong (motivating them negatively). Bruce needs to stop being so condescending and Jason will finally feel heard. Bruce treats him like a child which is just so wrong and demeaning.

Last point is that Bruce needs to spend more time with Jason as Bruce and not as Batman. Sometimes Jason needs his father and that’s okay. It’s up to Bruce to be there for him. Whether Jason is an adult or not, he should be able to feel like he can call or visit or ask for help from Bruce without Bruce getting angry or telling him he’s off the mission.

At this point DC just needs to get the whole family seeing some therapists.

In conclusion, things that would help mend Bruce and Jason’s relationship:

Finding a common middle ground among their morals

Bruce should not beat his sons regardless if they are ‘criminals’ in his eyes or not

Bruce killing the Joker (this would bring Jason closer to Bruce, but it does cause some changes in Bruce’s character).

COMMUNICATION (this is the first step in therapy probably)

Having them be partners and act like partners. Bruce needs to get off his high horse and stop being so condescending to Jason.

Similar to the above-Bruce needs to trust Jason and make sure Jason knows Bruce trusts him.

Spend more time outside of crime fighting. Idk go watch a baseball game or go fishing. Have some family dinners and talk about the times when things were easy and fun and silly, before everything went to shit. Jason deserves his dad and Bruce deserves his son.

Therapy (The whole family would benefit).

#Thank you for the ask :) #I love this ask so much #My brain literally just switched all of my senses off and I wrote this as fast as I could type #Absolutely love being able to turn off the world and hyper focus on bat stuff #bruce wayne is a good dad #Unless he’s written by DC #DC thinks we want the pure masculine energy of a man beating another man who is his son who is also a villain #I have to say though: #As much as I’d love Bruce and Jason to have a better relationship #I also don’t trust fanon to write them #it’s either Bruce beating Jason in DC or Bruce and Jason falling asleep crying and hugging each other in fanon #I just want a middle ground where they still love each other but also act like how a fathers’ and sons’ relationship would be #DC I just want them to have at least a semi functional relationship I’m not asking for them to read books before bed every night- #it shouldn’t be that hard!! #I’m going to make a post about Bruce killing Joker and how that would affect them/their relationship #don’t tag as ship 🔪 #jason todd #Batdad #red hood #batfamily #batman #bruce wayne #batfam #dc #dc comics #character analysis #asks #feel free to ask! #I spend too much time in the tags smh #Red rambles

Ok but an anime husband pillow but it’s not an anime husband it’s Yassen Gregorovich.

#Yassen #this came to me in a nightmare. #I don’t actually want this pillow that would be so creepy #yassen gregorovich #alex rider #alex rider books #alex rider tv #yasha #Yasha Gregorovich #ao3 #I just had to share this vision #this gin & tonic induced nightmare world where Yassen husband pillows exist. #it was weird #also there was a 2014 tumblr collage blanket but instead of it being a tumblr sexy man it was Yassen #I read Russian Roulette before bed #russian roulette

how unfortunate that i have two hyperfixations, several side interests, and a load of homework all clamoring at the same time for priority in my brain

#it’s so frustrating rn because yeah i do have to get some online coursework done so I don’t fail this class #but i ALSO want to relax before to go to bed #so what do i do? #(after i finish another module) #i could start heartstopper season 2 or i could make progress on the book i started today or i could watch a mission impossible movie #or i could watch a greta gerwig movie or i could start that tv show starring rebecca ferguson #there’s no WRONG choice but i want to do it all #& at the same time therefore this feeling that i have to watch things at the ‘right’ time in order to achieve maximum enjoyment #so like. that’s setting me back too because i want to reach maximum enjoyment for all these things #my gut feeling is to just start watching silo since i’m already obsessed with rebecca anyway #and if i watch mission i’d have to start from the first movie which she’s not in (until the fifth movie) #and i’ve been consuming so much alice oseman content lately i feel like i need to take a small break before i watch heartstopper s2 #and my book… well i am in a rush to finish it because i have to get through all my library books before i move #but it could probably wait until tomorrow #idk maybe i’ll watch an episode of silo and then read a few chapters if i’m still awake enough #wow this is such a rambly post i’m so sorry #belle speaks

Stayed up too late reading the running grave and now I can’t sleep

#this is why reading before bed doesn’t work for me #because I’m either reading something I don’t care about so won’t bother reading #or I don’t want to put the book down and then don’t sleep #the running grave #robert galbraith #jkr

[boomerang109]

yes im excited to be reading real books again. no nothing can replace the importance of reading fan fiction in the dark before bed

#I literally was like ‘I’m gonna read my book before bed’ #and then I took my sleepy meds and I’m like. i wanna be in the dark #i don’t wanna sleep quite yet but I wanna be in the dark #so it’s time for fanfic and darkness. the best part of the day lowkey #life of a boomerang

[pumpkingeorge]

Rrrr I can’t find my Medievil comic!

#it’s not on my bookshelf #it’s not in the book pile on my bed #those are the only spots I store books #I have 4 books in the bed pile #I don’t read before bed I just #kind of sleep with them like my stuffed animals? #fate’s arrow was in the bed pile at one point but I don’t know where I could have put it this time #i probably lost it when I used it as a plate 🤷

Last night I dreamed I was writing a very in-depth fic about Trent’s feelings about Ted, from Trent’s perspective. Which is very strange since I don’t ship them at all. I also dreamed that my veins were coming out of my skin.

#so what I’ve learned from this is don’t scroll through the Ted lasso tag or read my weird book right before bed

Psychology side of tumblr what’s it mean when you experience a lot of painful things that change your life and suddenly you know how to switch off negative emotions

#this is not a shitpost I’m actually asking #haven’t cried in weeks except for at the Mitski concert but I just feel so numb??? #i just get up in the morning and go to work and feel slightly exhausted when I come home and then I read my silly little books and that’s it #i used to listen to my favourite albums and cry in the shower but now I just sit down and do nothing #so my dad left right?? thought I’d be devastated and cry every time I leave his new flat but I don’t. i just get on my bike and go to bed #idk how to properly explain it but it’s like I’m half robot when I need to be #it’s much more bearable than before but I miss being so excited about something (usually the Beatles) that I would cry #or not even cry just feel it properly #anyway I’m off to therapy now gonna ask bestie mind doctor to fix me <333 #oversharing on the internet once again #emmys thoughts

nanami’s side of the bed wouldn’t even be called nanami’s anymore. you sleep there nearly every day, blaming it on how the pillows smell of him.

nanami’s clothes aren’t his anymore, you're sleeping in his shorts and t-shirt tonight. you wore his shirt yesterday, and took his ties for some clothes experiments last week.

nanami’s sacred pens are no longer his own, he finds them on the table after you tried to scribble up something and forgot to put them back.

nanami’s mugs are now shared, always in the dishwasher even when he doesn’t recall using them at all. 

nanami’s thoughts don’t belong just to him anymore. you’d bug him about it all day if he doesn’t share what he’s thinking — so he, with an exasperated sigh, tells you what’s on his mind.

nanami’s salary doesn’t go straight to his savings account like it used to, instead taking a portion of it to spend on you. ‘you’ means gifts, flowers, dates, trips, trinkets, and so on.

nanami’s weekends aren’t as quiet as they once were; now they’re chaotic, full of so much of you. 

nanami’s fridge is full nowadays. candy, leftovers, ice cream, cheese, cake, bread, and the list goes on. so many things that don’t go along with his diet fill the once-empty shelves.

nanami doesn’t spend as much time in his study as before you moved in. now old books are left to collect dust, long forgotten in a room that’s never lit. even when he decides to pick one up and read it, it’s the minute that he sees your face the book is tossed away.

nanami’s happiness still comes from days off, but now it’s because those days are spent with you. days when he slept long and ignores the world are long gone, now he gets to sit and focus on you, watching as everything else becomes nothing but background noise.

nanami has always been sure he’s not looking for marriage, at least not right now. but he swears that ring looks so perfect for you. there’s no way he’d miss it. 

nanami stands in front of the bathroom mirror 5 minutes late every day because you’re still figuring out how to fix his tie the right way without any help. he can’t seem to rush you, though — what’s being precisely on time have on your little giggles as you sit on the sink and struggle to finish a task he could have done in under a minute?

nanami has been spending so much time eating as of late, more time than he can afford. while he used to finish a meal in approximately fifteen minutes, now dinners could stretch to two hours. he couldn’t get off the table early when you sit across from him, talking and joking and doing anything that’s not eating. he simply can’t possibly not indulge in the little conversations, appreciating every moment he gets to spend in your presence. nanami’s life wouldn’t even be called his anymore. you’re a storm, invading his life all at once, bringing in your chaos along with you. you’ve infatuated him, you’ve assailed his senses and changed his very being. every time nanami’s eyes align with yours, he prays your presence isn’t a fleeting one. he silently hopes you don’t leave as suddenly as you came, that you plan to stay.

I have tried reading to make myself sleepy and it works! But it also has the added consequence of making me really excited about what I’m reading

#can’t read before bed the excitement of learning gets to me (I don’t read fiction books) #reading

[gods-favorite-autistic]

Ok I’m going to sleep now probably most likely maybe see y’all in the morning

#me? going to bed before 1 am? a miracle #listen I just have to get through tomorrow and then next week and then I don’t have to go to school until janurary 3rd #I have to hold out I can’t let my sleep schedule be this wrecked until after midterms #although my ap human geo and my algebra II midterms might kill me #also not to get sidetracked here but in the book I was reading (how to find a missing girl btw it’s really good) the mc mentioned #she had 2nd period ap human geo and I literally read that part while sitting in my 2nd period ap human geo class #so that was fun #I’m dressing up pretty tomorrow #I got my yinyang sweater and my rainbow skirt with pockets all planned out I’m excited #anyways I’ll actually go to bed now goodnight <33333

#how does anyone survive in the morning I take it all back I can’t do this #I got like 6ish hours sleep that’s not even THAT BAD #I am so tired and so sleepy and I don’t want to do this :( #I’m gonna be talking some SHIT today #maybe I should just go to the library now that’s probably best for getting me to do things but then idk what I’d do for lunch #I just wanna go to bed and read my gay little stories and draw gay little pictures #okay okay it’s FINE I can do this shit I just gotta. if I walk to library and pick up a meal deal on the way or something #actually I can just make a sandwich now before I leave #okay yeah I’m doing that I’ll. make a sandwich and I can just have that at like 1 #and then I’ll be closer to presentation 1 place anyway and after that I can? go back to library? and have time to go over presentation 2 #maybe book a study room before presentation 2 so I have somewhere to actually practice #yeah okay this is what I’m doing #luke.txt

I keep seeing shit about like don’t compare urself to others and you don’t have to be successful by a certain age or anything but god it’s so exhausting being depressed anxious off and on suicidal since I hit puberty like I’m so tired like I have no idea how anyone lives their life and does things

#i will literally be like ‘oh I can’t get a job. I’m reading this book right now.’ as if that means I’ll be busy for the next month #like oh my god what is wrong with me I wish I was better I wish I meant it when I said I wanted to get better #if I wanted to get better I would put in the effort and take my meds consistently and get a job and try at all #but I just don’t even have the energy to pretend I want things to go well I just feel like I’ve missed my opportunity to make something #of myself even though I know I haven’t. it just all feels so fake. it’s all seemed so fake for so long #I feel like I’ve been out of my body for years and the only memories that feel real are from before I moved to Florida like 2021 - now is #just a complete blur and idk if that’s from trauma with dad dying or just that something in me fucking snapped when I got ripped away from #everything familiar in my life at once like it fucked me up and my old therapist said something about how moving again drudged up all the #feelings I felt as a nine year old when my family moved the first time but I think all the feelings I felt were new and different and I #just didn’t want to deal with them so we talked about my past but like. idk. it just all feels fake. #it’s my brain and I can’t ever get away from it this is just the brain I have and the past I have to deal with and the future I can’t escap #but it’s finnneeee it’s all fine I’m gonna smoke a bowl and go to bed and wake up tomorrow to my mom and her boyfriend on his birthday and I #will cry when they leave but I will mix myself a drink and pretend I’m fine with anything my life has become
