Hi!! I’ve got a question, was Jason the robin that received a piece of metal with Superman’s signature? Or was it dick? I thought it was jason but I’ve seen some panels from the new nightwing #105 preview and dick has it in his shelf and now I’m confused.

Good memory it was Jason who got superman's autograph you know its Jason bc the comic was published in 1987 which would have been 1 year before Jason died which means dick straight up stole superman's signature from a dead kid

Panel for reference (also bc baby Jason's a cutie)

#ask #anon #dc #dick really said that kid doesnt need it any more lol #but yeah tbf people usually see a happy robin and just assume its dick #but also now we can say dick canonically stole from a dead kid #or jason could have gifted it to him #i like the stolen idea better tho

BEFORE I ASK AND BEFORE YOU CONTINUE

PLEASE remember I am asking this question because I want to know Tumblr's consensus on this ship vs the Twitter side of the fandom which is much more vocal about their thoughts.

I am simply asking out of pure curiosity and nothing else. And please don't assume any less of me just because I am curious. I don't want ppl to assume I'm this horrible person or anything qwq

Anyways onto the question:

What are your thoughts on Batmeat (Bob x Streber?)

Feel free to reblog with additional thoughts!!

#spooky month #poll tag #Okay imma put my thoughts here rq cuz I do have some things to say. #Mainly that I used to be extremely against it and grossed out by it but now I'm just meh?? But still leaning on the side of disliking it. #My thoughts mainly changed after talking to certain ppl (who to my knowledge are either against or neutral on it). #Two things these ppl had in common was the fact that neither were proship and both thought ship discourse was dumb (which yeah agree) #(Also for reference I'm not proship either) #When talking with one of these people we were talking about Holydemon and the discourse surrounding it. #Which made me think... #Both Batmeat and Holydemon share something in common. And that's in both ships the characters canonically hate each other and one killed/- #injured the other. #And in no way in the canon (key word CANON) universe would they get along under any circumstances. #But then why is one more accepted over the other?? #And then I realised it has to do mostly with this weird mob mentality the fandom has coupled with the way both these ships are interpreted. #Based on my own experiences it seemed Batmeat was mostly enjoyed by the genuinely gross people in the fandom. #And by this I mean people that had gross intentions with the ship and wanted to interpret it in an abusive way. #Meanwhile Holydemon was created as a silly joke between the Spooky Month team that evolved from joke to people genuinely enjoying it. #To my knowledge Holydemon was never created out of ill intent but rather to be a silly joke + demon x priest old man yaoi funny. #But Batmeat was mostly used by pro/comshippers to fetishize/romanticise abuse. #(Please keep in mind I have seen a bunch of examples on Twt as the ship doesn't seem to be as big here on Tumblr and isn't much of a- #point of discussion). #(But I found that a lot of the known gross ppl in the fandom seemed to enjoy Batmeat which I can only assume left a bad taste in- #people's mouths. Because it sure as Hell did for me). #HOWEVER call me crazy but if Batmeat was created with the same intentions as Holydemon would people still find it gross or think it's a- #funny joke ship? #I dunno I've just been thinkin about it a lot lately. #Oh and another thing I noticed is a lot of the ship discourse in the fandom usually surrounds Bob so take that as you will. #For whatever reason he is the one character that not only broke but split the fandom in a way I have never seen in any previous fandoms- #I've been in. I'm tellin you it's like it's own weird phenomenon. Is it cuz he's a cannibal??? #I wanted to go on but yk tag limit. I lost some things I wrote qwq

the pixie chihiro (and alter ego)

chihiro's wings are warped and damaged from birth, so flying is impossible. as such, they built and enchanted a wooden puppet to carry them around, and named it alter ego

alter ego is also sentient...in a way it is an extension of chihiro that can also think for itself? the string tied around alter ego's wrist links it to chihiro

instead of computer programming, chihiro specializes in making enchanted objects, including enchanted dolls. alter ego is not their only puppet but its the one they like the most

chihiro is self-conscious about keeping up with others given their size and inability to fly, so will usually only introduce themself when piloting alter ego. because of this most others assume chihiro is a magic, sentient doll

#chihiro fujisaki #danganronpa #my arts #chihiro my friend chihiro #and their megic mecha alter ego #havent really prescribed a gender to this chihiro or alter ego they both kinda just do what they want #but alter ego does use it/its pronouns and likes skirts #the relation between chihiro and alter ego is kinda complex like. chihiro built alter ego and can pilot alter ego around #but alter ego can assume its own thoughts and personality away from chihiro #but in a way they are still the same person. if chihiro dies alter ego also dies if that makes sense? but not vice versa #whatever it's all handwavey #kyoko meeting chihiro for the first time is kinda pleased. like oh youre a sentient artificial being? me too we should get drinks #alter ego is giving. 'no little german boy dont go into the murder school' #was trying to channel pinocchio a little bit #im not really a fan of chihiro's teacup skirt in canon but. unfortunately. it is kind of iconic #because alter ego is made of wood its mouth doesnt really move...so when they talk it just sort of sounds like alphonse from fma #dgr mnm au

i don't personally agree with the perspective that "miguel NEEDS to partially correct about canon events, otherwise he's a villain" because like. setting aside the issue of possibly naturalising the irl choices writers made (e.g. fridging gwen) through the concept of 'canon events', to me defining miguel's morality comes down to two questions:

What is Miguel's intent when pursuing his goal? <- it's unambigiously heroic. he desires to save people. and -

Can I plausibly understand how he has come to the belief system (and therefore goal) he has? Yes. I can understand why, when viewing the things he did (universal patterns of suffering between spidermen & the trauma of that dimension collapse), he came to the conclusion he did.

Keep in mind the other bits of information we and the characters are working with are:

Anomalies seem to affect the world they're in (Vulture appears to affect the Guggenheim's structure w glitches)

They're also in danger of dying if they don't have a stabaliser like the watch

But say for the sake of argument Miguel is completely wrong about breaking canon and doing so would not endanger anyone and the alt dimension collapsed for reasons utterly out of Miguel's knowledge or control. That still doesn't negate the heroic intent he operated by nor his desire to save people.

What "How much or little is Miguel correct?" affects is how tragic it makes Miguel's guilt and the moral concessions he feels that guilt about. Whether you would argue for it being needlessly tragic or bleak is another conversation entirely but how correct he is about what damage canon events cause doesn't actually change the fact he operated on sincerely good and heroic intentions.. And I think atsv already sets up that last point in an understandable manner.

#long post #tunes talks spiderverse #she came. she never shut up about miguel. she posted fdshfkshdfjsd #the reason i outline the knowledge of what seems to be the unquestionable consequences of anomalies in alt worlds #is so you can understand why miguel occum razor's miles changing canon as the reason theres a black hole under pav's world #we've already been shown it's possible for anomalies to affect the stability of a world (this seems to be a quiet change from itsv) and #spot firing up a baby collider and using his powers didnt open up a black hole under 1610 new york (as far as we know) #so if youre already predisposed to believing fucking w canon will cause harm i can understand WHY even if i think hes not correct #miguel and spider society assumes miles' action causes that unravelling. ESP when taken in conjunction w miguel believing his own world #jumping caused an unravelling and he applies that same fearful reasoning to whats happening here #i dont think hes correct but i understand WHY he came to conclusion he did esp when u keep in mind the kind of doublebind #miguel is IN already when it comes to being terrified hes got it wrong all over again but also being terrified of the stakes HE LITERALLY #THINKS HE EXPERIENCED (and he DID experience that trauma. even if it turns out it happened for a reason that wasnt his fault or even #related to him being in that dimension at all)

oomph i know i'm definitely really early with this ask (changing time zones for vacation is weird o.O) but I was thinking about it over the past few days

for the lights, camera, sing your sins au, are the interrogations somewhat scripted where the prisoner knows what to say and Es is mostly just reactions or questions to that? I feel like we've talked about this but I have forgotten jandjnf o.O

because all i can think about is Es getting beaten up or close to tears in the first voice dramas and man if it's scripted, i feel bad for the prisoners who have to do this to es o.O

Hi Mug :D No worries, a slightly late reply because I was on vacation too haha! 🍂

And I mean it's whatever works best in people's minds, but I always pictured there being very little scripted, actually! I'd hoped that everything was as natural as possible. The prisoners just have to make the little shift to act as if they did follow through with the murder instead of talk about how close it came -- other than that, everything that happens is the characters' honest questions, answers, and reactions.

When explaining the no-violence ban to everyone, Fuuta and Kazui (and later Amane) tell Jackalope how they would think during their interrogations. Jackalope instructs them all how to act in order to stay consistent with the barriers/losing strength stuff. I think the only explicitly scripted action is Mikoto's violence, since Red admits he may resort to that if Blue felt threatened. Jackalope tells him to get to the point of violence no matter how the interrogation goes, as it's necessary (to proving Mikoto's situation, to driving home the central ideas of Mikoto's case, to reveal Milgram's process and 'limits,' etc).

And yeah, it definitely tears him apart to actually do it -- he has to verify that Es signed up for this several times (which they did), and it still takes a lot of resolve to follow through with hurting an innocent kid like that. I imagine that's one of the reasons he's not really upset that Kotoko surprised everyone by intervening: he felt so guilty about the attack and was grateful someone came in to stop it.

Although it wasn't physical pain, Mahiru is also really upset that she brought Es such emotional strain. She thinks it's cruel to fool them into feeling bad for her when she's okay, and it takes a lot of reassurance from the others to convince her it's for the sake of the experiment -- every part of the process has toyed with everyone's emotions, she's not a terrible person for doing so.

Whether in the middle of the trial or the final executions, I think any characters who die next trial will also feel awful for making Es mourn for them when they're still alive. It's not all one-sided guilt, though. It's balanced by anger/sorrow towards Es for condemning them to death in the first place because of their decisions. Any time they get too caught up in thinking "I'm so cruel for tricking them like this," they have a moment of "well, they did specifically order my death, so..."

When I'm looking for a pure fix-it, I'll let those emotions go pretty easily <3 But unfortunately my writer ass is never free from The Themes asdfsdf and sometimes I still get caught up in the project's major focus -- not only is Es facing the original Milgram dilemma of choosing whether or not to follow authority, but now the prisoners are faced with the exact same decision. Do they physically/mentally hurt this child "for the experiment?" Because someone in authority told them to? They're doing this to prove a point about justice and fairness, but where should they draw the line? At what point is it not for the greater good and they are just causing more harm?

I think I mentioned it before but in this au the prisoners are extremely motivated by the promise that this experiment will help others like them. Yuno wants to make a statement about society's views on abortion and sex work. Muu wants to make a difference for bullying victims. Kazui hopes to be a voice for all those who have had to keep theirs quiet about something. Mikoto hopes his story creates more awareness and acceptance for people who are usually terribly stereotyped and feared. Kotoko wants to bring to light the problem of corruption and what can be done about it, and so on. In the end, they can always justify causing a little emotional/physical harm because they are doing it for a good reason.

#milgram #thanks for the question! #sorry for another rambly au post -- i just love chatting about it LMAO #ironically im trying to keep everything as canon as possible 😅 #i think mikotos interrogation is the only one with something specifically set down by outside influences #because red would be really against the idea initially but he figures if its all consensual and it can really help people like himself #then its 100% worth it #i havent quite pictured how the prisoners think the results of the experiment will be released #i dont think they believe their videos/time in prison will reach the whole public #but they still assume the end goal is making a very public report #i think thatll be for me to decide at the end of the project when we have a better picture of everything #asdfsdf we havent even finished t2 and im already undoing character deaths from the finale 😂😂😂 #anyway i hope your vacation went/is going well! take it easy pal :) #lights camera sing your sins

I will say that in any setting with kemonomimis/beastmen/ any ppl w animal characteristics, the concept of animal ear and tail accessories gets weirder. But twst went "but its cute :0" so they just like.... ignored that it could b weird. Theres city wide events were ppl wear bunny ears and tails, and a fox beastman gives fox tail accessories to ppl. Epels traditional outfit his grandma made him has bunny ears and tail too. So maybe everyone is ok with it and finds it cute idk.

#twst #text #we haveeee seen that beastmen r kinda like... ignored in canon tho so who knows how they rlly feel abt it #but like who am I kidding theres no thought put into this #the events exist to dress up the boys in cute clothes nothing more nothing less #it isss weird that like.... jack has to specify hes thankfull crewel included ear holes in their portfest hats bcause clothes usually dont #do that #and u can see that beastmen r assumed to be jocks and in savanaclaw or always frm sunset savanah regardless of actual origin #(ace thought jack was frm sunset savanah) #im sure theres noooothing to glean frm that :)

i hope nat does something deeply morally fucked up in s3 that makes the people who decided to sort her into Good Person Box (in contrast with All The Rest Of Them Who Are Bad) shake in their boots going but she's good?????!??!?!?!

#since digestif the nat takes are tiring. i love nat but omg when the fandom decided #shes the only one who Ate Jackie In A Morally Acceptable Way cause she talked to her bones after bsbsbsns #and now like #im so heartbroken for nat!! absolutely its devastating #but like #we do all know that in canon she was like. in on it right #like she took part in that game #as did all the rest #and she did eventually let javi die. with all the rest #this isnt nat hate just in case someone cant read fbsbsbsn #i love nat. I Love Nat #but the posts that are like IF I WAS NAT ID NEVER TALK TO THEM AGAIN #okay well the thing is that nat WAS in on it and then they all let javi drown as javi begged for nat #and what we do know is the kill ritual keeps happening and we can assume nat keeps taking part in it #since she survives AND is in touch with the rest enough to have tai pay for her rehab decades later #yellowjackets spoilers #yellowjackets blogging

[corfisers]

it's so fascinating to me how little there is to work with if you want to go with the (most likely) intended reading of yashiro as a cis man. if you ignore what other characters are saying, all the instances of "bitch" being thrown at him, men comparing him to a woman as an insult, and just focus on his own feelings regarding his gender and masculinity, there's… nothing really? the few times when he explicitly says that he's not a woman go hand in hand with "therefore it's okay to hurt and abuse me, to be rough with me, to want to leave me, etc etc". the way he talks about men usually reads as "men and me" with a level of separation there. all the "what type of women do you like? is this how it is with women? are you gentle with women? women women women?" there's no attachment to being a man, not that i can see at least, so reading saezuru through the lenses of sexuality and gender rather than just sexuality is this weird experience of "i know what you want me to think, but thank you for leaving so much room for the other interpretation"

#sorry for spilling a bit of my trans yashiro agenda i just feel like i'd explode otherwise #like. she really didn't put anything in there. there is no “people don't see me as a man and it bothers me” or anything like that #and yes i know yashiro generally just doesn't care but still #i'm fully aware that we are not getting a “oops! the bl manga has always been about a closeted trans woman actually” #it's just the fact that there's NOTHING outside of the “this is the intent that you'd normally assume” that's so funny to me #i'm hoping that she doesn't touch on gender much so i could live in my own little world that Somehow magically doesn't go against canon #but even if she does then oh well. still valid reading up to this point at the very least and you can fight me on that idc #forcibly shutting myself up now but augh. head in hands. #saezuru tag

Ok but if the mercs tried doing each others jobs i think we can all agree that pyro would be one of, if not the best at engineers job

#txt #texas toast #Aside from building their own flamethrower they also ran frontier engineering for half a year #AND made that half a year the best quarter EVER in frontier engineerings history #as well as just generally being engineers best friend #and if the pybro playstyle is in any way canon we can assume pyro has seen engie build everything thousands of times before #i think a close second to pyro would be medic and demoman but theyre more associated with chemistry not physics

so because nick was able to almost raise lucifer from the empty, we really have to assume that anyone could do it. like all he had was some determination and a hammer, and he could have pulled it off. so. what im saying is that this leads us to assume that in-universe, dean just didnt feel like it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#im sorry im thinking about cas confession scene again and its so funny. its so funny. bro you KNOW how to get him out #its not that hard!! nick figured it out!! #there are literally no in-universe barriers to getting cas back out of the empty once he’s in there so!!!! #so we just kind of have to assume!!! that no one felt like doing it!!! #option 2: sam asked ‘hey what happened to cas’ and dean went ‘yeah he seemed like he wanted to sacrifice himself i think we should honor #his wishes’ and sam goes ‘???????? okay.’ and then they never talk about it again #option 3 is that cas is so embarrassed how poorly his confession went and that dean doesn’t feel that way about him that when sam & dean #DID try to get him out. he hid. probably behind uriel or something. #there is no option here where everyone tried their hardest to get cas out because if they DID he would be out. its literally not that hard. #this is even ignoring the fact that jack is god now even without that its just. something anyone can do. if they feel like it. #dean lets cas die and thinks of him like a pet they should bury in the front yard send post #we have him on record as saying he thinks of cas like a talking dog its not ooc. its practically canon. #spn #dean winchester #castiel spn

so funny seeing people on tiktok go "i didnt want to watch that 911 show because i didn't want to be baited but now maybe i'll check it out" personally i hadn't bothered with it because i got the impression that it wasn't baity ENOUGH for me!! i didnt think there was that much there!! like the first thing i knew about it was that there was gay characters because i saw a gifset of a lesbian couple so i knew it was a Gay Show but im not looking for positive canon gay rep. i want to be baited and i want it to be really evil otherwise theres no fun! (obviously in the grand scheme of things i think positive gay rep is good but its not what will make a ryan murphy procedural drama a fun watch for me) and i will say i watched the clip leading up to that gay kiss and the fact that the whole conversation was about the other guy yall ship him with was a little insane and if its always like that then i get it now! i was not familiar with your game!

#literally first thing i saw of the show was tracie thoms and her butch wife and i was like wow they do not let that woman play straight #and then all i heard about it after that was about those two guys #and like forgive me for assuming it was a mashing the two white guys together because they were there thing! #i dont like when ppl say 'its not a queerbait show it has gay characters' about like anything idk #partly bc i generally dont think queerbait is a word i use to describe a show overall its more about specific ships #i think you can have milquetoast gay rep but still get baity with particular couples #i mostly take issue with calling something 'bait' when like. a couple is gay but has a tragedy or breaks up #or when one of the characters has been canonically gay the whole time theyre just not a couple #that doesnt INHERENTLY make something bait but a character could be bi and they could still be baity abt their relationship w someone idk #anyway idk #i just think its funny #i WANT to be baited and i didnt think i would be and here we are

i know we’ve gone through a rollercoaster of emotions about malin after snow globe gate but when wille asks her to take him to simon’s she says “Hi Wilhelm” not “kronprins” or some other variation of his title. outside of boris i think she’s the only authority figure to refer to wille by name

#young royals #the beginnings of a malin redemption arc #also ik her job is to protect him from threats so what wille tell her to convince her to drive him?? #bc i don’t think ‘hey malin can you take me to simons house so i can offer to abdicate so we can date’ would have gone over well #also clearly she couldn’t have known bc this would be another supposed threat to the monarchy which i assume she would have to try and stop #is this canon malin being a little fanon and lowkey rooting for wilmon 👀 #there’s a good chance we’ll never know bc wille made that decision for everyone during his speech #malin has no choice but to outwardly support wilmon but i like to think she would have done it anyways #she definitely had to know someone was in wille’s room in s1 bc simon was not quiet #she probably heard the ‘you should come visit me in bjärstad sometime’ and then wille immediately makes a beeline for bjärstad that weekend? #they were def caught in 4k #anyway shoutout malin for seeing wille as a person not a prop/title #young royals season 2 spoilers #yr s2 spoilers #my yr thoughts

[a-world-in-grey]

I was deep-diving through tvtropes and-

I have no idea how accurate it is because I never played episode Ardyn. But please consider.

AU where Ifrit wakes up, sees daemonified Ardyn and goes "Wait, that was NOT the Plan". And proceeds to burn Ardyn (and most of the lab) in the Holy Fire, purifying him and accidentally-on-purpose giving him Ifrit's Blessing. (It was totally on purpose)

(Canon and the Prophecy are Yeeted out of the window)

Been sitting on this, because this? This is brilliant. Raven, you have no idea how badly I want this.

Ifrit's been dead-ish (you can kill an Astral as hard as you like, they just come back like a bad gil) for thousands of years by the time the Scourge surfaces in Somnus and Ardyn's time. Being dead or sleeping doesn't prevent an Astral from knowing things, so Ifrit is aware of House Caelum, is aware of Bahamut's plan to deal with the Starscourge.

(What does Ifrit think of the Scourge? He once loved humanity, may still love humanity despite Solheim's betrayal. Does he regret that he is not there to help? Does he weep for the children he once nurtured, taught, and cherished? Does he weep for the lives that will be lost?)

(Or does he laugh? That the only one to help humanity combat the Scourge is Bahamut, wholly unsuited to face an enemy that cannot be killed with a blade? That the ones who spurned him will now die to something he could have would have saved them from?)

But Ifrit doesn't care to watch Bahamut's flawed plan play out (doesn't care to watch the children of his Sparks waste away in the night) so he turns away from the goings on.

It's the chill (the feel of his lover's kiss) seeping into his bones that wakes him. He wakes, furious, because how dare she, how dare she after she sided with the rest of their kin, with those traitorous humans.

Only, it's not Shiva.

Through the fire and fury coursing through his soul, Ifrit doesn't recognize where he is. It's a human lab - not the same as Solheim's once were, not the same architecture, not quite as advanced.

He recognizes the son of House Caelum.

Bahamut's Chosen Sacrifice.

And here's the thing: Ifrit is the god of Knowledge. More than the other Astrals, Ifrit's power is to know. Anything and anyone, anywhere and any time.

So when Ifrit looks at Ardyn Lucis Caelum, he knows.

He knows this man's love for his people. The lengths he went to help his people. His love for his lover and his kin. His kin's betrayal. His lover's death. Bahamut's rejection. His own people abandoning him.

Two thousand years locked away in the dark with naught but memories and grief.

Ifrit knows how that old Soldier thinks. Bahamut is War. Bahamut is Duty and Sacrifice. Bahamut will sacrifice this healer alongside whoever his new Chosen one will be.

Ifrit hates humanity. They burned him and time hasn't healed that wound.

But... he loved them once. Mortals who burned as bright as they burned short, sparks of ingenuity in their eyes as they took the first staggering steps he helped them achieve and figured out how to run.

Thousands of years later, a little healer took a gift and used it to save lives in a way it was never intended.

Ifrit looks at Ardyn Lucis Caelum. He sees himself staring back.

Ifrit hates humanity.

He hates Bahamut more.

In the mere second after laying eyes on Bahamut's discarded Chosen King, Ifrit burns the lab in Holy Fire.

His new Spark burns with him.
