Note

So Me and my boyfriend have been dating since highschool Jr year. It's been a while since then, I'm in trade school and he works at McDonald's. Lately, he's been working very late, for two weeks straight and I understand he's been busy but it feels like he was ignoring me Because the times he was "working" were more than 8-hour long shifts. This cycle kept repeating for 2 weeks and during these 2 weeks, I would express to him that I felt ignored and neglected since he barely had been speaking to me. I was lucky if I got 10 texts a day at most. Which compared to before was very little. I would tell him how I felt and he would apologize saying "sorry babe didn't mean to make you feel that way" and then he would turn around and ignore me again in the same day or the day after. This started to wear on me and it felt like I was being brushed off each time. And this Thursday it all came to a head. For context I suffer from bpd, and being ignored triggers me, I am working on the issue and trying to be better but these past 2 weeks it feels like he was just doing the one thing I asked him not to do, over and over again. And he didn't communicate very well to me, if he was stressed with work or having issues at home I would have understood if he briefly explained. But he didn't I would ask him over and over again if he was okay and he'd just brush me off and say he's fine.

This last thrusday though he did the same thing, from Thursday 9 am to 7. He was "working" and only sent me 4 texts that day. I asked him what was up and why he won't communicate with me and he ignored me MORE. And I had enough and just blew up, I told him that how he was treating me isn't fair, and it's making me unhappy and I feel negelcted and not loved, I told him I felt like he was pushing me away and for what reason I'm not sure. I was fed up and told him if he wanted to break up we could but if he didn't he should call me to work things out. He didn't call me and ignored me more. I took a few hours to myself and then I texted him to explain more, and kind of apologize. I told him that I didn't mean to be so explosive with my anger but I still feel like my dwellings were valid and I explained to him that he just went cold on me for two weeks and didn't explain anything to me. And it feels like I cannot reach him anymore, and that I don't want to break up and work on things if I made him unhappy. But it wasn't fair for him to go cold on me like that. I told him I loved him but there's only so much I can take and I needed space, He once again ignored me. This time going silent for 3 days completely.

I texted him like a day later asking if we could speak the following day. Nothing. I asked him the next day if we could meet to the same day, ignored again. I was worried about him so I texted him again the next day asking if he was at least okay and he ignored me for a couple of hours, before saying he was fine and he's not ready to talk. I respected that and told him I understand and to text when he was ready. I also apologized to him and told him that i was truly sorry for how i acted and that he didnt deserve that. He lied again and said he had work that day (it was Sunday, before the fight happened he told me he ONLY had Sunday off, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to have someone working for 7 days straight) I didn't call him out on this because I was scared I'd upset him more so I just told him I loved him and to have a good day at work.

He ignored me, again.

Please be so honest, am I the asshole? I feel like the asshole for blowing up on him and I know it was wrong for me to do that to him but I just felt stuck and emotionally stuck after being hurt by him almost daily and telling him so only to get ignored. On my end this feels shitty, and I do wish I could take back what happened but I can't. I also feel this is unfair, everytime My feelings get hurt and I express them he doesn't go to the same lengths to Apologize or make it up to me or even make a long term change, but when I hurt his feelings he acts like this and acts like I just committed some war crime against him. Maybe im being unfair but I feel unheard. I'm afraid this may be the end of our relationship and i dont want that.

What are these acronyms?

#aita #am i the asshole

Sssniperwolf and YouTube have given the shittest apology and honestly I think I would have preferred they’d both said nothing

YouTube’s official statement, finally, after 6 full days, states that Sssniperwolf will be getting a temporary monetization suspension. They ALSO blamed BOTH PARTIES for what happened.

Like cool finally you did something and if they’d literally just left it at that it would have been FINE. The community would grumble a little about it not being a full ban but it would pass.

But the fact that they also blamed Jack, who, again - DIDN’T DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL OR EVEN DEFAMATORY - Fucking BOGGLES me. Jack’s Sssniperwolf Bbbingo videos both transform her work (I’ve watched like 10 or so now and in all of them it takes him at least 10 minutes to get thru 3 tiktoks she reacts to) his commentary is way longer than the runtime of her video, and the only things he directly calls her out on are factually correct, like the fact that not crediting people’s work is a shitty thing to do and it is the right of creators to claim their work stolen. He generally makes fun of her repetitive reactions, but that’s also protected under freedom of speech so long as he isn’t calling for anyone to harm her - which he isn’t. He isn’t sending the videos directly to her email, he hasn’t stalked or doxxed her. He hasn’t attacked her by trying to find and credit every creator he can and tell his community that if they have something stolen by her, they can report it stolen and have it taken down.

Because the fact is that she OFTEN crops out usernames, doesn’t list any links or usernames in her description, does not ask anyone for permission to use their content, and does not provide exposure.

Jack did nothing to her that couldn’t be either ignored completely or remedied by actually providing proper credit/contacting tiktok creators to ask for permission. It was SssniperWolf who decided to go to his real life actual house and commit a literal crime by filming it and doxxing him.

Not to mention her apology is fucking abysmal. She doesn’t admit she doxxed him, and idk if it annoys anyone else but she called him jacksfilm throughout. Like his channel name is jacksfilms. You doxxed the guy and can’t even bother to look up his actual username? Her whole apology is about how she failed to be an example of proper conflict resolution or whatever but the fact remains that she absolutely threatened him in his personal residence and committed a literal crime. Like I’m not convinced in the slightest that she knows the proper way to talk through a conflict in the first place wtf

Why I was banned from r/curatedtumblr: a very belated explanation/apology post

Before migrating here from Reddit, I used to be a regular participant in r/tumblr as a commenter, then r/curatedtumblr when r/tumblr became unusably bloated with repost bots, and the useless mods did nothing because Reddit's leadership system is dumb and broken. Hence the name, curated tumblr; an r/tumblr replacement that was actually moderated. All of the regulars, including me, migrated there, and now r/tumblr is like 90% karma-farming bots endlessly upvoting each other, presumably so the accounts can later be sold for advertising or political astroturfing purposes. Happens all the time.

I explain this because it's important to understand that a) I was a part of the community for quite a while, and b) r/curatedtumblr was heavily moderated, so as to avoid the mistakes of its predecessor. Fine and dandy.

I was a high schooler at the time, terminally online and working a shitty fast food job to save up for the PC I'm typing this on. Thus, I'd spend the days endlessly interacting with the people on r/curatedtumblr, and the evenings working at a Taco Bell, unable to use my phone until breaktime.

One day, I forget the exact context, but the subject of r/FDS came up, which for those of you who are unaware is a hive of femcels. Named as an acronym for Female Dating Strategy, the sub was infamously sexist towards men, going on about things like "high/low value males" and how men below 6' were inhuman scum and basically doing everything incels do but with the gender roles flipped. And just like incels, everyone there was unaware the real reason The sub featured a nauseating glittery pink colour scheme a la Claire's, and everybody there talked like a popular high school girl in a Nickelodeon movie, all "yaaaaaass queen" "you go girl!" and shit like that.

So this sub comes up, and if memory serves we were shitting on it, or at least I was? Again, the context has been lost to memory, and since the sitewide search tools you used to be able to use to find multiple year old comments have all kicked the bucket, and the Reddit UI for finding old content is stupid and requires you to trudge through the entire histroy of a user chronologically until you find what you're looking for with no option to jump to the desired time period, I'm probably never going to be able to find it. I was making fun of the kind of shit they said on that sub, and I said something like "yass kween dump his low-value ass he only makes 800k a year ur worth more gurl," and then went to work.

Now, I didn't know it at the time, but as I worked, somebody saw the comment and thought I was mocking AAVE. They accused me of being a "4 Chan Nazi." Things kind of snowballed from there. Now, and this is embarassing and I've been hesitant to admit to it, but I'm here to explain and apologize, so:

when I was in high school, I did not know what AAVE meant.

I took offense to being accused of being a Nazi, and I forget what my reply was, but it was snarky towards the accuser, which made me look like a POS. Since I did not know what AAVE was, I did not refute the claim that I was making fun of it, and this made me look really, really bad to anybody who did.

I was then banned for this alleged racism. I looked up what AAVE was, realized I totally did look like a racist in that situation, but rather than fight the allegations, me, being an anxious teenager, instead eternally procrastinated on doing so, afraid of further anger directed at me.

It was a dumb choice to make, because now I'm afraid anybody on here from r/curatedtumblr who remembers those days might still think of me as "that guy who turned racist out of nowhere and then ran off." It's been eating at me for years, so I've decided it's time to rip the bandaid off and finally clear the air. I should have done this a very long time ago.

tl;dr, I made a string of bad decisions that made me look like a racist piece of shit. I could have easily undid this by immediately explaining the situation, but being an anxious, then-internet-inexperienced kid at the time, the sudden social rejection scared me, and I hid from the problem.

I'm sorry. It was a bad move. I never intended to mock AAVE, nor appear as if I was doing so. It's a valid English dialect, it's culturally important, and I respect it and those who speak in it. I apologize to anybody I may have offended by accidentally appearing to imply otherwise.

I hope anybody from those days who still remembers me can find it in their hearts to forgive me. Or they can choose not to, as is their right. I'm not here to beg for forgiveness, I'm here to finally explain things and put them to rest. This is what happened, I am sorry, and I hope you also see it as a poorly-handled misunderstanding and nothing more. I just needed to finally move on from this.

The plagiarism video and my brain

I need to gather up my thoughts because my brain has done some really heavy lifting with some of my past experiences and it's a wild ride. Not sure how coherent this is going to be, but! I'm going to try and unpack some of it.

Hbomberguy, a video essayist on Youtube, recently released a hefty video (it's, like, 4 hours long) about plagiarism on the platform, focusing on a few other content creators before getting to the bulk of the video, which is about James Somerton, a commentator who does videos about LGBTQ+ representation in media. hbomberguy has come with ALL the RECEIPTS proving without a shadow of a doubt that Somerton stole most of his content from other writers, reading their words and claiming them as his own. It's shitty, but unfortunately not inherently illegal, particularly since Somerton almost always backtracks when accused and then reups those videos with the barest of efforts to credit the original writers.

So, I have no idea who Somerton is. I sort of(?) recall some sort of controversy about a Youtuber who stole from The Celluloid Closet (a famous documentary about homosexuality and Hollywood) but I do remember that the person apologized and pointed out that there was very little research in the way of queer people in American media so of course he HAD to borrow heavily from Celluloid Closet. I sort of shrugged at the time and moved on, never thinking about it again until I watched the hbomberguy video

And hoo boy it's a lot to pack. Somerton apparently never had an original idea in his head. All the great points he's made in his videos were made by other people whom he stole words from, and when he DID have original content in his videos, it was largely misogynist and...rather racist too? Ouch.

So in the middle of the video, hbomberguy points out that Somerton did a video about the fascist themes in the anime Attack on Titan. And I started to freak out. I, myself, wrote an op-ed for syfy.com about fascism and anime, and I mentioned Attack on Titan. it was originally posted in October of 2018, a full 4 years before Somerton did his video, so i was rather worried that he'd also plagiarised ME (this is how my brain works, and considering the full extent of obscure sources Somerton used for his videos, I don't think my fear was unfounded). The original article doesn't exist on syfy.com anymore, as they decided that Fangrrls as a vertical just wasn't working for their brand and they stripped years of work from female writers from their site. I have a backup of the article here for reference.

As for whether Somerton plagiarised me, I feel icky but I ended up downloading the transcript for the video in question and perused through it. I don't THINK he stole any of my words, because the bulk of the video is about the anti-semitic elements in Attack on Titan's later seasons. When I wrote my piece, the fascist elements were still fairly subtle and the big reveal about the Eldians being treated as second class citizens, a once great power (given holy gifts by "God" no less) reduced to living in ghettos and wearing armbands and definitely being coded as Jewish people, hadn't come in yet. My op-ed was about fascism in anime in general, and I mentioned more than just Attack on Titan. I imagine that if my article were still widely available, Somerton might've taken from it. But is that my ego talking? It's probably my ego talking. But I know for SURE that this particular piece still sent a ripple through the larger anime community.

I know this because I am a woman who dared share an opinion on the internet and suddenly anime weebs were spreading the article through twitter and facebook and calling me out for writing a shitty take.

Was my take shitty? IDK, I still got paid for it and I actually wish I'd written more about it but my editor said that it was fine and the article's like 5 years old at this point and waaaaaaay out of date now since AoT's fascist themes have grown so much more blatant. I only scratched the surface, while newer takes on AoT have the benefit of more story to make their arguments more sound. Some of THESE articles, the more recent ones, Somerton definitely stole from because hbomberguy proved it in his video. I'm just watching from the sidelines right now, very bemused and my brain is coming up with what-if's by the truckload.

I'm just unpacking this now because I don't think I ever fully faced the criticisms I received because of my initial op-ed. My editor warned me that my work could be inflammatory and that I should brace myself. I locked down my Twitter account (as my editor suggested) and ignored any messages from people I didn't recognize for about 2 weeks after the article was posted. Sure enough, the article was spread tens of thousands of times on FB and Twitter. Some of the comments I'd seen called me "misinformed" (fair), "ethnocentric" (I suppose), a "dumb bitch," (possibly?), a "woke SJW" (thanks!), and, most horribly, "white", which for some reason offended me more than the ones calling me a dumb bitch.

One big argument against my op-ed boiled down to the fact that I, as an American, am not aware of the subtleties in Japanese media and I didn't understand Japan's own relationship with its past and I put a Western viewpoint on it (ethnocentrism at its finest). Me...a Filipino-American. Me, a descendent of people (Filipinos) who were subjected to Japan's imperialist expansion in Asia. The Philippines became a battleground between Japanese and Allied forces in WWII. Bataan Death March? Hello? I know my history, but I didn't place this in the article. I thought my mentions of Japan's occupation of China and Korea were enough to show that Japan definitely had imperialist and fascist tendencies in its history and MAYBE that might provide a throughline to why Japanese media is still fascinated with this stuff but it wasn't enough, I guess. It is...a puzzle.

Oh and the original idea for "srsly what's up with Nazis and anime?" came from J, my significant other, who is Japanese-American.

Where's my brain going this? I don't know, but I think I'm happy I'm getting this off my chest now?

I'm sorry and if you read this all the way through, I'm grateful to ya'll.

EDIT: and America is as guilty of burying the sins of the past as much as any other country. Think about the historical revisionist movements which claim that African slaves liked working in plantations because we need to tell American kids these lies to feel better about themselves and not hate their own country. When my views were called "ethnocentric", what POV did my critics think I SHOULD have used? Or are we looking at a case of me "interrogating the narrative from the wrong perspective"?

Hello! I'm the Anon who asked about Bruce being self-aware.

When I said "Also, there's something of a difference between being self-aware about himself and when it comes to his kids." I meant that he says or does super hurtful stuff that he just doesn't seem to think was wrong or reflect upon when it went downhill or realising too late or sb had to spell it out for him.

Examples being:

him reading Dick's diary after taking him in as a ward to figure out what Dick wants instead of just asking, thus creating the Robin suit after Dick's designs (God, it was a Batman or Robin: year one comic book, I'm pretty sure but I don't rememer which),

saying "commendable" instead of just "I'm proud of you" to Damian (basically his "emotional constipation" as a whole, like being unable to understand or even recognize his kids feelings and then failing to say just the most normal praising/comforting/loving things.),

ignoring (or acting as if) when Damian apologizes for direspecting/ignoring previous orders and holds a cute speech about trying to listen now but Bruce just turns around like "Did you say something?",

not telling Dick that Jason is now Robin or that Jason died even though Bruce said he would call Dick (yeah, he was being petty or grief stricken, but still)

Tim's sixteenth birthday "present"

I hate to bring this up but the whole Batarang to the NeckTM situation in UTRH. His resurrected son confronts him and he fails to show a single emotion, instead immediately debating ethics and morals with him.

anything with Jason in future comics where Bruce beats him up and acts like Jason asked for it or that Bruce didn't have a choice but to do that.

bringing Jason back to Ethiopia to the warehouse where he died, so Bruce could maybe find a way to resurrect Damian after Heretic killed him (I think it was Heretic, but maybe it was sb else)

beating up any of his kids for any reason. The most he should do willingly is defend himself with defensive moves only or seeking distance. But not charging in like he wants a fight.

sending only Damian to save Alfred from Bane, which just allowed for Damian to be captured and then having to watch Bane snap Alfred's neck, and then Bruce says to Damian's face "If I had been there, I could have saved him." (Bruce prioritised his own grief over his son's grief and trauma and all that)

Bruce tells Cass she doesn't need a real life and sectret identity, that she only needs a costume and a private batcave and she'd be fine

Bruce instigates a fight where he and Cass get drugged and can communicate about their feelings through fist fighting.

Taking/ Trying to take Robin away from sb for their "own good". I don't mean benching, but full on "You're not Robin anymore, never again." but then folding a few issues later anyway. (It could be seen as very shitty parenting ig)

Like you said, Bruce gets written very inconsistently and I tried not to cherry pick too much of what I wanted to say, so I made this mess of a bulleted list. While a lot of these examples do come from his communication issues, I still wanted to include them anyway because it's taken too far with some writers (can't say "I love you" or hug his kids, although he doesn't have a problem with doing that with Clark or Diana) or he doesn't reflect on those moments or he repeats them over and over again.

I swear I love Bruce, I'm not a hater!!! He's actually my favorite character!!! 😭😭😭

(Making this list really hurt. Just so you know.)

Hey listen, im going to answer these by number* and then probably delete this ask in a few hours because. I hate all of these!! Maybe 3 are in character!! I dont want this terrible Bruce on my blog!!! But also i dont want you to think i asked for clarification and then ignored you so feel free to send another ask when you see this lol. Or if I have once again missed the point.

* because I misunderstood this ask again and also most of these gave me hives lmao and also also I think like 75% could be answered with "we needed someone to mean to [character] and Bruce is convenient el oh el"

Anyways:

1. This one is in character, a little bit, because as much as we understand kids needing privacy now, i can see the way Bruce was raised (Alfred would have absolutely read his diary, that feels very in character for him) and the way Dick was (sneaking out to find Zucco) leading to him panicking and monitoring him as much as possible. That doesnt make it right mind you. The thing is if Dick hacked the bat computer Bruce would probably be proud of him, so not entirely hypocritical.

2. Also possibly in character, because again, thats how Alfred probably spoke to him. Not great, and i think the current Batman and Robin run does a much better job with their relationship, but can be chalked up to bad writing tbh.

3. No this is shitty writing. Sorry it just is!

4. This could be its own post but in summary: decisions made to launch another chracters solo or in order to make a different character look good are ignored. They wanted a Nightwing solo and decided a good launching point would be a big fight between Dick and Bruce. No thanks.

There have also been panels where Dick talks about ignoring Bruce’s calls during that time period, so this could be chalked up to mutual miscommunication if you insist. And i prefer the pre crisis origin for Jaybin, for multiple reasons.

5. I haven’t read this, ive heard of it, and its weird. It feels like point 4, but for Tim. The writers wanted a villain for his birthday comic, Bruce is right there.

6. Nah, Jason fucked around and he found out. He wanted a Batman that kills criminals, he just forgot he was also, now, a murderer and a criminal. Im only half kidding here, but the problem with UTRH is that exactly. Also the fact that Jason spent like six months doing absolutely horrible shit in Gotham, and that like 15 minutes before this showdown Bludhaven was blown up, Bruce has no idea if Dick is alive, and Jason mocks him for possibly losing another son. Also Jason is the one demanding Bruce cross his very personal boundaries here, ethics and morals are a very necessary part of the conversation!!

7. Anything where Bruce beats someone near death or uses lethal force is technically out of character. Jason comics outside of DITF and UTRH do not do enough work to give his actions the context necessary for them to be in character. RHATO #25 Is shit writing.

8. It was heretic, on Talias orders, and that whole storyline is dumb. This does feel in character, because Bruce response to grief has historically been 1 become Batman 2 attempt to commit suicide by cop/criminal so points for that consistency? I really hate this plot tho. Stop killing Bruce's kids!! The man is unstable as it is!!!

9. Out of character. I know it gets used for some god awful reason but it is so out of character unless the writer is willing to give it some serious work to provide context, (or unserious; see; Zur-En-Arrh in Gotham War. It's dumb, but it provides plausible context for Bruce beating his kids ie: it isn't technically him). Barring mind control, rejected.

10. No!! What the fuck!!! Bruce is not sending one of his kids alone against Bane there is an entire comic where he drugs them so that doesn't happen stop that!!!!

As a side note when I read that the first time I understood it as "I should not have sent you in alone because it was a task too big for you, If I had been there to help we could have saved him", but I am an optimist with too much faith in DC.

11. Absolutely bonkers statement from "please let me fire you from robin so you can have a normal life" McGee. Chalking this one up to racism and misunderstanding Bruce's character and that stupid "Bruce Wayne is the mask Hur dur" thing.

12. Ok this one feels in character actually. Somehow. At least they're talking?

13. Also feels in character actually. This one is weird because you'll see those stupid "child soldier" arguments side by side with "how dare Bruce take away Robin!". Pick a side. It's either bad parenting to let Robin exist or it's bad parenting to not let Robin exist, it can't be both!

And since these are comic books, and you need to engage with the genre in good faith or you'll have a miserable time of it, Robin exists! And is allowed to exist! At the same time, as a mentor Bruce has to be able to bench Robin, that is also a function of the mentor/mentee relationship! Basically - Bruce should be able to bench an injured/at risk Robin, but the writing for those scenarios usually wants him as a villain.

Taking away Robin completely only happens to Dick tho, and since it's after he gets shot on the job I do think it's in character.

As for "I tried not to cherry pick" babe please do so!! It's comics!! It's not canon unless you want it to be, and if you want these truly terrible Bruce's to be canon all the power to you! I want to set them on fire tho. And snort WFA like it's cocaine until all this is a bad memory jfc DC screen your writers for daddy issues I am begging you.

#asks #im sorry but heroes need to be good parents #its been a core part of Batman for years that he's good with kids this is such shitty writing #if you can't write conflict without assassinating someone's character you are ... a bad writer #you just are!!!#also your point where Bruce is perfectly fine with Clark and Diana is another tick ij the 'all this is daddy issues' column lmao

I finished reading the shadow and bone series and I've got thoughts and some unpopular opinions so let's go. Spoilers for the books btw.

I downloaded the books back in April 2021. I saw six of crows being recommended everywhere and wanted to read the whole of the story. I remember coming here on Tumblr to scope out the vibe of the books as well as to read some reviews perhaps. What I learned then was that people hated Malina, loved the Darkling, and hated the ending. I did try to start reading the first book back then, but got distracted.

I picked them up again a week ago after watching season 2 of the show. The majority don't like Mal, albeit Show!Mal is a bit more loved. Perhaps it was the awareness of this already widely agreed upon opinion of everyone's or maybe it was just the image of Archie Renaux in my mind, but I did not hate Mal at all. I actually really understood him. I'm not saying he's the best love interest. He's not. He's got some glaring flaws. But he cares for Alina. And he's done some mistakes. He was an absolute ass to her, but he apologized. He admitted his mistakes and tried to do better. You can't tell me that you wouldn't try to distance yourself from the person that you are in love with if you realised that that is the good thing to do. He can be shitty, and absolutely terrible at communication, and he's got some bad coping mechanisms, but he's human. I don't know why the fandom doesn't try to understand him.

Let's move on to Alina, who despite being the protagonist, isn't as loved as I had expected. Many people said that she's a Mary Sue. That she just doesn't have flaws and starts and ends the same way. I'll admit it can be a bit difficult to see it, but I thought she really grew into herself. She was more confident, cunning, outspoken, understood different people's perspectives and experiences better. And she's absolutely hilarious (I was thinking of compiling all the bits from her that made me wheeze). She isn't a total Mary Sue (maybe a bit, I'll admit that). The answer is clear when you compare her to an actual Mary Sue character like Rey Skywalker from the Star wars sequels.

Her story has a circular ending. She starts as a nobody and that's how she finishes. I'm still a bit sceptical about it. I'm with it, but I'm also not. The foreshadowing for it (the soldiers of light bit) was decent. Her losing her powers made sense, cause if she hadn't she wouldn't ever be able to be at peace again, she'd have to spend her entire life shouldering the burden of being a one of a kind grisha and a saint. But I also do not like how she's being forced to live without them when it was so integral to her well being. The loss of them has been described as the loss of a limb. And I feel deeply for her.

I really enjoy Nikolai, he's absolutely hilarious. Misha is baby. Tolya and Tamar are amazing (wtf why aren't there more fics about them????).

Moving on to The Darkling. I do not ship Darklina, but I did enjoy the connection they had for the entirety of the third book. The confidence of telling Alina his name touched me a bit. What I really enjoyed, however, was the way he isn't portrayed as a complete morally black character. He's done fucked up shit but when you look at it from his perspective you realise that all that he has been through, the pain, the heartache and the betrayals have led him to shy away from attachments. He's not redeemable, and that's fine. I don't ship him with Alina, but I can appreciate the underlying intent for his actions. He did them the only way he knew how.

Overall, I really enjoyed the books. Gonna move on to Six of Crows now. If you read all of this, I appreciate it <3

Giyu Tomioka Fanfiction - Transparent Heart

Gifted Y/N

10 Chapters

Subjects: Fluff, Angst, Smut, Mature language, Suggestive language, Blood, Gore, Death, Humor, Violence, Pain

Remember: Your Character has a nickname. 💙

Chapter Ten

3.4k Words 😅🙃🥴

Chapter includes: nothing worth mentioning. (Billions of apologies from me because my brain died on this one, forgive me.)

The days following your return were very bittersweet. You were happy to be with Giyu everyday but you also missed home. As much as you wanted to go home, you were also afraid to. Giyu as well as the kids were integral to your healing process. When Giyu had to leave they were looking after you diligently. The only time you ever got to be alone was to use the bathroom.

You were still trying to stop the unloading of your inner thoughts and feelings on Giyu but you still had not been successful. Even if you stopped sharing your thoughts, he felt your emotions or mood. He was being so patient with you. He never rushed you to get better or to get a grip on your abilities. He was a perfect model of support.

Days turned into weeks which meant physically you had improved by a lot. You were beginning to have more quiet time than expected because some days, 3 out of 5, it was just you and Emiko. Giyu suggested you let them at least visit the community school to see if they liked it and turns out, they loved it.

You had only been there for 10 minutes when they were begging to start attending. Princess had gathered followers in that short time too. Her charismatic nature even intriguing the teachers.

Just the very next day they started going 3 times a week, from morning to afternoon.

You and Emiko would do housework and then different activities. Like making jewelry out of whatever you could find around the house, or making crayons, finger painting, and reading together.

It was a month into fall when you approached Giyu to ask for something that had been making you anxious each day as you got better.

"Hey." You smiled at him as he walked out of the bathroom, his long hair down.

"Hey." He answered as his eyes softened.

"How was your shower?"

"Good."

"Now you'll get in bed with me?"

"Yes, now I'll get in bed with you."

Once he was situated in the bed he wrapped you up in his arms the way he had become so accustomed to.

You sighed deeply as you relaxed in his arms. He was so comforting.

"I missed you while you were in the shower."

"Did you?"

"Yes"

"Why?"

"Giyu." You responded trying not to laugh. "You know why. Because I love you." He asked you why to almost anything you said, you were starting to think it was his favorite word. Although, you did understand that he just wanted you talk to him. He told you that much all the time.

"I love you too." He replied, ever pulling you closer to him briefly.

"I have a question."

"Okay."

"Can I or we, go see Obanai soon. Now that I'm doing better I really would like to thank him."

Giyu didn't respond right away. He was still feeling a little worried about Obanai's reaction to you. He was so suspicious of pretty much everything and he wasn't friendly. It's not that he thought you were weak he was more worried about there being a misunderstanding leading to tension. He also didn't want him to say anything that would hurt your feelings.

"Thanks are implied." He answered.

You tilted your head up to look at him. "You're being mean Handsome. Do you not like him?"

"I-I like him just fine." Giyu blushed slightly, embarrassed by how rude his remark was and that you noticed.

"Doesn't seem like it." You smiled.

He didn't say anything as he let his eyes leave yours.

He tries his best to ignore your feelings when they are shared unintentionally, but the slight disappointment and sadness you were feeling from him not supporting your wishes, made him feel shitty.

"We can go tomorrow. Is that okay?" He replied.

You kissed the top of his nose. "Yes. That works." You smiled at him.

You stared at Giyu until he began to blush, a small smile appearing on his face. "What?" He asked, his voice slightly quieter.

"Nothing."

His eyebrows furrowed. "Stop staring."

"Why?"

"Because it's weird."

"Is it weird. Really?"

"Yes."

You only smiled wider.

"Go to sleep." Giyu said, covering your eyes with his hand, making you laugh out loud.

"Okay. Goodnight handsome." You replied through your laughter, imagining him naked.

"Stop that!" He said quickly.

You laughed louder until Giyu covered your mouth with his hand. It didn't stop your fit of giggles though.

"You're crazy." He told you with a smirk. His eyes lit up at your ability to laugh so much. He really should call you giggles. Even though he does actually think you laugh too much, more than normal, he adores the sound.

You could see the look in his eyes shift to an almost awe like gaze. It was enough to make you quiet down. A rush of heat coming to your face as you suddenly felt like he was looking at you for the first time.

When you felt unbridled love flow into you, followed by the image of yourself you stilled.

You've officially been together for 6 weeks now and you still feel surprised to know that Giyu feels the same way you feel about him.

He moved his hand from your mouth and smiled at you, lovingly.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." You answered almost breathlessly.

His soft lips met yours in a longing but gentle kiss. His hand moving to cradle your head as your passion bubbled over, prompting you to pull him closer as your tongues danced in the heat of the moment.

You didn't have to ask him for what you wanted, as he heard and felt it clearly in the way you whimpered into his mouth.

Your night was long as Giyu, who only ever wanted to make you happy, couldn't keep his hands off you with all the beautiful sounds you made.

————

"He lives so isolated." You commented as you and Giyu took the long path leading to Obanai’s house.

“Yeah.” He responded.

You had dropped Emiko off to Urokodaki as Giyu insisted it would be better for it to just be you two.

He didn’t tell you it was possible a fight would happen between the two of them depending on what he said to you, but luckily you didn’t need convincing as you agreed with him without question.

You wanted to bring him a gift which was difficult for you choose because Giyu was no help. He told you he probably wouldn’t want a gift, and that he didn’t know what kinds of things he liked so in the end you had just decided to give him some of your best fruits.

When you reached the final gate you took in your surroundings. It didn’t look like anyone lived here. An abundance of golden leaves decorated the roof and ground and it was a bit more chilly up here.

The house itself was sort of gloomy, almost gray in color with dark splotches and streaks of age scattered along the outside.

Giyu knocked on the door for you and then stepped back, standing just slightly infront of you. You had to lean over just to see the door.

“I can’t see Giyu.” You told him quietly.

He didn’t respond as he held his position. He didn’t want you to be fully open to Obanai in the first place.

When the door open it creaked loudly.

“Oh, what a unpleasant surprise, what do you want Tomioka?”

Your mouth dropped open at his words.

Giyu sighed before speaking. “To go home. But, I’m here because she wants to offer you gratitude for helping to find her many weeks ago.”

You stepped to the side so you could see him. “Hello Mr. Iguro, it’s nice to see you under normal circumstances.” You smiled. Your basket of autumn fruit clutched tightly in your hand as you bowed.

“I wouldn’t quite say normal.” Obanai said at the same time that Giyu rolled his eyes. He hated that you were being so formal to him.

Obanai’s snake hissed and your mouth once again fell open in surprise. You hadn’t noticed it initially, he was blending in with Obanai’s attire.

“Whatever.” Obanai said.

“You….can understand it?” You asked looking between him and the snake.

“Yes I can understand him.” He drawled.

“Oh.” You replied, staring intently at the white snake as it stared back you.

‘Thank you for your help too. I believe you led him to me.’ You said to the snake but only to yourself.

The snake seemed to nod before slithering off of Obanai, much to his surprise and coming to to you.

Gasping, you bent down and held your hand out for him. He gracefully wrapped around your wrist and rested in your hand while your basket rested on the floor.

“Kaburamaru, I like that name.” You nodded before slowly bringing your finger to his head and softly rubbing it.

“How are you able to do that?” Obanai said taking a step forward.

His intentions were lost on you but for Giyu and Kaburamaru they were not, as they both reacted quickly. Kaburamaru turning to hiss at his owner while Giyu stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.

Obviously this upset Obanai, he tsked in annoyance before stepping back pushing Giyu’s arm off of him.

“Someone better explain.” The venom in his words caught your attention.

“Am I…I…I’m sorry. I don’t mean any harm.” You said as you stood. Your feelings hurt by the tone of his voice.

When Giyu felt this, he clenched his jaw in irritation. Right before he could respond, telling you that it was time to leave you spoke.

“I could show you what happened.” You said quietly.

Giyu’s eyes widened. “You don’t have to do that!” He said, anger clear in his voice.

“It’s okay. It’s easier than explaining.” Your eyes plead with him to be understanding.

“He doesn’t-”

“Show me how?” Obanai spoke.

With a big puff of air to control his rising anger Giyu turned to you, his body blocking you from Obanai completely.

He placed his hand on the side of your face. “Dearest, you don’t have to prove anything to him. He doesn’t deserve to know something so personal about you. He’s an asshole.”

You wanted to smile at Giyu’s insulting of Obanai but you didn’t. Kaburamaru hissed at Giyu as he insulted his owner to which you pulled him back closer to your chest and away from Giyu. Giyu’s eyes flickered to him briefly anger flashing in his eyes before they softened again when he look at you.

“My patience is wearing thin.” Obanai spoke from behind Giyu.

This time you did smile as Giyu’s face dropped in irritation at his words.

“Let me just, show him quickly. I’d like to be friends.”

Giyu wanted to vomit at the idea of you being friends with Obanai, it was almost comical. He didn’t seem like a very nice friend to have.

Stepping aside once more you picked up your basket once more. “May we come inside?” You asked, Kaburamaru still wrapped around your right hand.

Giyu groaned at the same that Obanai silently turned around to lead you inside.

When you finished showing him what all transpired and what was said when you were kidnapped he sat silently for a few moments.

“So if I were to try to kill you right now I wouldn’t be able to?”

“Well I don’t know.” You replied thinking nothing of it.

He was super quick. His sword was drawn and he had it pointed to your heart before you could blink. You only registered what happened because at the exact same time Giyu yelled.

“Are you crazy!?” As his own sword was at Obanai’s throat. “She said that she didn’t know.”

“And shouldn’t we find out?”

You, were shell shocked.

“How dare you?” Giyu growled lowly at him.

“This is the problem now. You both are too weak. Too afraid to figure things out. If she can’t die then even if I stab her, she will be fine. Either way, how will you know if you don’t try?”

You gasped. He’s right. Oh my goodness, he’s right. You thought.

You thought about the very first time you learned you couldn’t die. You were just 11, starving, and all alone. You ate some poisonous berries and your body made you throw up before you could even swallow them. You had only known they were poisonous a few hours later when you saw a rabbit eat them and die. Your memories were gone, you were all alone and you couldn’t find your way out of the mountains. That night you also encountered a demon for the first time, you cowered away from it, your hands covering your ears and your eyes squeezed shut as it snarled and snapped at you. He probably tried for hours to kill you, and nothing worked, nothing touched you. Nothing he threw even.

The fact that Giyu was able to touch you with his sword was so terrifying at the time. There couldn’t be any way humans could kill you if nothing else could. Maybe they could hurt you, yes, but you shouldn’t die. Right? You would never know if you didn’t try. Obanai was right.

“Let’s try it.” You rushed out.

“What?” Giyu said, for the first time raising his voice at you.

“I-I think we should try it.”

“No.” Giyu answered. “No.” He said again unprompted.

“I’ll be fine.”

“You don’t know that.”

“Fine. Maybe you should try it yourself then.” Obanai spoke to Giyu as he put his sword back away.

Only then did Giyu lower his own weapon. He took a step back and then held his hand out to you. “We’re leaving.”

“What why?” Your eyes were wide. A slight whine in your voice.

Giyu couldn’t believe you right now. How could you ask him that? How could you be willing to do something so stupid.

“What are you going to do when another demon after your magical blood comes along? You just going to suffer?”

Giyu flexed his hand impatiently. He really didn’t want to be here anymore. He could see you responding to Obanai’s words and hated it. He didn’t want you risking your life just because you wouldn’t die, when you could still be hurt.

“Why aren’t you a demon slayer?” Obanai continued.

“I-” you looked at Giyu then away quickly when you saw the frustration in his eyes. “I don’t know how to fight.”

“Why not?”

“I just….I-I don’t know I just don’t.”

“Well are you going to train her Tomioka?”

He said absolutely nothing. At this point he had no words. He was just so upset. He didn’t want you fighting, he didn’t want you to have to encounter any demon of any kind ever again in your life. Of course he wouldn’t train you.

“I guess that’s a no.” Obanai answered before tsking.

“I’d be willing to train you.”

“Really?” You asked a smile appearing on your face.

“Yeah. You’d be a necessary attribute. We’re all dispensable but you….you’re not. You’re invincible. We need that. If you’re any good you’ll be our most valuable comrade.”

You looked at Giyu again who was glaring at the floor now.

You knew he didn’t like the idea of you being a slayer but Obanai’s words made sense. If you could help out, why wouldn’t you? You would be able to face demons that others couldn’t, you wouldn’t be a risk, you would be an enigma to the demons. It would give you the upper hand, and turn the tables in your favor.

“I think…..I think I like that idea. Giyu?” You tried to get his attention but he wouldn’t look at you.

“The kids? What are they going to do?”

“You have kids?” Obanai asked incredulously.

“They’ll be fine, I’ll be back at sun up!”

Giyu clenched his jaw. You don’t know that. That’s not guaranteed. He’s never been this mad at you before. So he just didn’t reply, he didn’t trust himself to speak. Instead he turned and headed for the door. He needed to put some space between you two. Outside he paced back and forth in front of the house.

“Your boyfriend doesn’t want you to, so what will you do?”

“I’m going to talk to him first. But I’m really interested.”

“When you’re ready, so am I. If he can’t handle it, he’s not allowed to come along.” Obanai replied.

You nodded halfheartedly. “Okay.” You answered before bidding goodbye, making sure to leave your gift behind.

The walk back to Urokodaki was tense. Giyu was upset still. He felt more betrayed than anything. You didn’t consider his wishes at all.

Urokodaki, knowing Giyu better than anyone took him aside to speak to him after seeing that he was upset. You waited with Miko asking her what she did and if she had fun. She was quite animated in her retelling of what happened. You were listening fully engaged in her toddler storytelling when Giyu approached, a less gloomy aura radiating from him.

The walk home was quiet except for Emiko’s remarks.

It wasn’t until after the older kids returned home and you were making dinner that Giyu approached you.

He leaned against the counter silently watching you as you prepared the food. You let him, keeping your mind clear and doing your best to keep your feelings to yourself.

“I’m afraid.” He spoke quietly.

You stopped moving when you heard the tone of his voice. He was sad. He sounded hurt.

“Of what?” You replied.

“Of losing you. Of not being able to keep you safe.”

You stayed silent as you watched the inner turmoil he was going through play out behind his stormy eyes.

“I can’t….I can’t fail you again. I can’t not be there to protect you…..I can’t live….knowing you’re encountering demons that would….want you. That can hurt you and take advantage of you.”

Your heart was breaking the more he talked. He cared for you so deeply he didn’t want you to ever experience anything like you did but there was something else. Something else was hurting him, something else had happened.

Before you could speak he held up his hand. “But, I know that you need to be able to protect yourself too.” He sighed deeply before he continued.

“Promise me something.”

“Anything.” You answered quickly.

“You won’t be reckless. You won’t be careless.”

Nodding your head fervently you responded. “I won’t be. I promise.”

“You won’t do anything stupid.”

“I won’t.”

His eyes searched yours as if he was looking for the slightest sign of a lie.

“I love you.” He said finally.

“I love you too.” You smiled as you closed the distance between you. When you wrapped your arms around his shoulders and he relaxed noticeably.

“Ill do my best and I’ll become the coolest most careful demon slayer around.”

He groaned playfully. “Gross.”

You laughed before pecking him on the cheek. “I promise I won’t stress you out Handsome.”

He shook his head slowly. “That may be a stretch.”

You bit his cheek playfully before moving away. “Whatever Charming.” You laughed

—————

That was the beginning of your demon slayer training.

In just a couple weeks you were training and learning how to balance your life on the line between exhaustion and enthusiasm.

You kept your extracurriculars private from the kids not wanting them to worry. They assumed you were doing the things you use to do; fishing, foraging, or gardening. With them having made more friends they weren’t all that concerned with you anyway, sometimes opting to visit them instead of staying home. You had to initiate curfews and rules like you would’ve never guessed. They were becoming more social and it never ceased to amaze you. You happily listened to their stories with much interest.

Your ‘mental’ training was a completely different story. You still had not gotten a handle over sharing your thoughts with Giyu. He still knew and felt everything from you. All you could do was apologize and try to turn your brain off, which was easier said than done. Giyu was such a sweetheart, asking you questions even though he already knew from you over sharing. Asking you to explain what you mean and listening carefully instead of taking your feelings and running with it. Sometimes he wouldn’t say anything at all. Those times were usually when you thought something embarrassing or something personal that no one would want others to hear about them. After all those weeks of over sharing with him, he remained perfect.

Giyu was so supportive and you couldn’t ask for

a better partner. When it came to training, he tried his best not to baby you but he was failing miserably. He’d run a bath for you on the days you trained with Obanai because you were always so exhausted after. He’d massage out the stiffness, kiss any bruises, and hold you close telling you how amazed of you he was.

It’s like he was never afraid and unhappy to begin with. You started to spend some nights apart with you wanting to prepare your garden for the winter and it was hard. You missed each other so much when you were apart but you tried to be “adult” about it.

Things were going well and as you reflected, that made you start to have a new appreciation for summer. It’s when you first met Giyu. It’s when you were brought together. You didn’t lose any kids. No one got sick. All of the good things that came out of summer’s surprises, outweighed the one bad thing.

With Giyu in your life, you were beginning to think things would only get better. The kids adored him, he adored them too, in his own way. You considered yourself lucky. You couldn’t ask for anything more from life.

Maybe next summer could bring more positive experiences.

aita for wanting to maintain a relationship with my step-grandfather? (tw for mentions of child abuse and death)

so my (under 18, nb) step-grandpa (84) has been feeling lonely recently. his son passed away this february, and his best friend isn’t doing well healthwise and probably won’t make it to the end of the year. my grandma (74) has been communicating with me and my mom (47) about step-grandpa’s loneliness. i offered to help them adopt a cat (he said he didn’t want to have another pet die, though he is in his eighties, so…) and surprised him with a card for father’s day.

here’s where things get tricky. my actual grandfather died a few months before his daughter (my mom) was born, so my step-grandpa is the only father figure he’s ever known. he was pretty abusive when she was younger, to the point of kicking her out when she was 12, which caused her to get kicked out of middle school because the us public school system doesn’t care about at-risk teens and children. my mom also has some triggers because of this abuse, namely slamming doors. she was also abused by one of her stepbrothers, the one that died last february. the other stepbrother is a wonderful guy who’s gotten a lot of therapy and has cut off contact with his dad and brother, but still occasionally talks to my mom.

however, my step-grandpa has, according to my grandma, turned over a new leaf. he’s taking medication for mood swings and goes to therapy. apparently it saved their marriage, so good for them! despite this, my father (47) believes my step-grandpa is a “textbook psychopath” and has also stated numerous times that he doesn’t want me around my step-grandpa. my dad did not grow up around my step-grandpa. he did not know my step-grandpa until my mom introduced them when both my parents were well into their twenties (or possibly in their early thirties). my dad has never experienced my step-grandpa’s abuse. my dad hasn’t had a whole conversation with my step-grandpa since maybe before the pandemic.

i’m not asking to live full-time with my step-grandpa. i just want to take him to a pet shelter or somewhere where he can hang out with cats without necessarily having to adopt them. my mom is fine with this. my mom has actually been encouraging me to hang out with my step-grandpa more, because like i said, he’s lonely. i respect that my dad doesn’t want to talk to my step-grandpa, but i do. i’ve told him this, and he keeps insisting that i “keep my distance” and “be careful”. he is literally the only person who is saying this. even my mom gets along with my step-grandpa now that he’s gone to therapy. it might be a religion thing, as my dad is lutheran and my step-grandpa is a recovering jehovah’s witness (which did influence how he raised my mom) but last i heard, he is fully an atheist now and has apologized to my mom for being a shitty dad. i don’t understand why my dad is so wary of him. i just don’t want him to feel alone.

so, aita?

What are these acronyms?

Harley Quinn problems (Tv wise)

Sooo...looking at this season. Well for me the problem is still the series. Not so... look not gonna apologize if I offend someone. I'm literally allowed to have an opinion on the show/writing etc.

So as season 4 ep 7. The show itself is average. Not the best but also not the worse. The series as a whole has some funny haha moments. Butttt it kinda tries to hard to be "woke". But that being said its a hella lot more entertaining than Velma's spinoff.

But its not without problems. One of which... is how the heroes are portrayed. Yes I know its comedy/satire/and also I know this is aimed for the villains. But they have the heroes featured in here. And their role ranges from comedic to down right incompetent at their job. Thats not to say I expected them to be gods/or perfect. No I can see some of the antics the show put the heroes in as real. Batman having issues at communicating with Gordon (season 1). When Batman got jumped by Ivy and Harley on live TV, and most of the heroes either just watched or in Superman's case just shrugged. Cause yeah they've been at it long enough to say "heh he's fine".

Even both Batman and Nightwing had trouble accepting help/change. Nightwing having freak outs cause he didn't get it perfect (season 2) and yeah definitely found it believable that he had a fit over losing his weapons. I can even believe that Wonder Woman fell for a Harley disguise as a fellow amazon.

Then the writing takes biggggg drastic turns. Batman/and heroes did nothing when Joker killed a celebrity on live TV. Amazons came to Ivy's wedding, thats not odd. Whats odd is technically they're in Wonder Woman's alignment aka considered good. So when the villains are killing the police they just do nothing.

Heck Batman spiraled over a breakup and brought back the dead. Did Alfred stop him? No. Did Nightwing or the Justice League? I mean zombies are hard to ignore. When Nightwing's murdered they literally DO nothing. They come to a funeral and go home.

Any other variation they would have stuck their nose into Bat business and offered Batgirl comfort/aid or an ATTEMPT of helping. Batman is literally in jail and NO ONE hero wise is questioning/attempting to help? Batman didn't even attempt to come to funeral. And you can't say "its jail". They let Alfred out. And importantly the show went on the "the rich are given better privileges" . So its not out of logic that Batman should quit djaying and attempt to look for what was like his second son's murderer.

Alfred is literally spiraling/suddenly clinging to being near Bruce and none of the Batfamily tried to stop or help him. I just am puzzled since the season before. Alfred seemed to be given a change as a character doing the hero thing while Bruce is in a coma. How did that go from being a hero to "can't be 5 minutes away from him". I mean yesh why didn't Superman even attempt to ask "Alfred why are you in an orange jumpsuit?".

Another problem is how they're treating Gordon. Again I know comedy/satire etc. I don't even mind if Gordon's very flawed. Season 1, yeah pretty much described him. Freakin' tired from the job. But as the series goes on they kick him always to a lower point. As I said I don't mind him flawed I can believe he was a shitty dad. Being a cop/and literally being in gotham. Its just kinda believable that became his focus instead of Barbara(daughter not wife). Butttt I wanna say it was season 2. I thought they were give him some development and turn his life around. But season 3-4 just kept kicking him lower and lower. And at some point making him the punching joke was a little too sad to watch.

I was hoping he would get his life together and he would have a Lupin/Zenigata kinda thing.

Third is sometimes the villains. Heh sometimes. Trying to think, uh sometimes it feels like they go a little too hard to make them evil. I dunno season 4 with the Legion constantly killing staff. I mean the starfish things killed a dude for stepping on their toes. I'm "a little overkill?". Even a few times they do it just cause they want to. I dunno hard to explain just feels like its not needed. They are literally fighting good guys. We don't need it so obvious sometimes. The other part in regards to villain is Joker himself.

He's... mixed for me. Particularly how he's been given a new girlfriend and "loves" those kids. I dunno for YEARS and I do mean years I've heard fans complain about how Joker treated Harley. So just because they're ripping off Venture Bro vibes they feel Joker deserves a happy ending with a wife and kids? I .... I dunno. And no I don't care if it humanizes him. He's literally suppose to be the most evil character, and we're suppose to suddenly like him cause he's got kids.

Just nope. Not feeling it. The show is not Venture bros and hasn't gotten to that level in my opinion. So Joker can not pull a "Red Death". Because from recent eps he's and his story have no merit to it. Joker goes evil and his girlfriend is okay with it.... but from what the show is giving his girlfriend isn't evil. A bit aggressive if she's physically threatened but I wouldn't deem her evil. She wants her children as far as I can tell to be good.

If the show had shown her aggravated for her lifetime of being good. Even and I hate to say it, show her even snapping at work as a nurse. Fine I could believe it. But she's suddenly okay with her children encouraging murders. And wanting to murder a person who is rude to her at the checkout line oO. By all accounts she should be arguing with Joker, telling him she doesn't want her children to be sadistic killers. She should even want compromise.

Heck Red Death is the best example. He's evil at work but separates it from his homelife. His little girl isn't evil. A bit bullyish? But she acts like a normal child. His wife wasn't evil and treated his arching like work. She even wanted a compromise to cut down his work. And he was trying to by becoming a guild member. Thats more entertaining then whatever the hell Joker is.

Anything else... uh dunno. I mean the rest of the show/season is kinda of predictable. Harley/Ivy having conflict due to jobs. Gotta work it out and I think they will. The clone thing is probably different. Uhh kinda wonder what Nora Freeze's deal is. I know she was a villain's wife but she's not very evil. Just there. Sometimes selfish but thats it.
