I know International Whump Day is Daniel Jackson's birthday, and that's fair. But I would like to propose a National Whump Day on September 15th in honor of absolute whump icon Jason Todd, the single most whumped character in DC canon, to commemorate the time they did this

...resulting in the penultimate canonical Bad End Whump scene of all time.

Come on. It's the least this guy deserves.

Is Death The Only Way to Get Attention?

(for Mia Zapata)

I tell my husband I can’t watch true crime anymore because I’ve been a crime scene

waiting to happen. the day they yanked me screaming outta my mom & said IT’S A

GIRL was the day my body chalk-outlined itself. any body that’s had girl hurled at it:

or the other words. the girlish slurs that stick to your skin, like some creeper dude

at the bar breathing hot-sick shit down your neck. girl they’ll kill you for existing

& there’s no avoiding it. they’ll kill you for your body. for being. too girl, body. not-girl-

enough body. wrong-girl. bodied wrong. is it any wonder we sometimes choose to come

undone. unbodied. to abandon our bodies like houses & squat somewhere else for a spell.

see: they’ll drape yellow tape across any girl-body. across the door of any house

on any side of any street. mansion or slum or suburban home is where the crime

scene is. some girls go mad with the grief of it. the grief of living inside a death-trap. they

skin their knees. stud themselves with gravel. hang chicken bones in their hair & blacken

both their eyes. get themselves electric guitars & scream their throats raw. raw like meat:

like a girl-body throwing itself to the dogs. of remorse. to the dogs of sorrow. they’ll rape

& kill you no matter what so why not. why not have a little fun with it. either way they’ll find

you the next day: face up. eyes open & blank. arms out in Christ-pose. christ, but they don’t

let girls be prophets or the progeny of gods. dead, they become warnings. maybe Jesus was

a woman. Girl Jesus drank too much wine & hung out with whores. Girl Jesus started a punk

band, said fuck the man, flipped tables in the temple. Girl Jesus was la revolucionaria & got

muerta for it. now she’s a warning. don’t step out of line or— I tell my husband I can’t watch

true crime anymore because no matter what I do: the crime scene of my body. my death:

my only escape. there’s no escape. they’ll kill me & say her whole life she was asking for it.

they’ll kill me & say if only. if only I hadn’t been in that dark alley. if only I hadn’t been

alone. if only I hadn’t smoked, snorted, swallowed: stepped outta line. then they’ll read this

poem & say how sad. they’ll call me prophet. the girl who, Jesus, threw the bones & foretold

her own demise. they’ll say I told you so.

Jason Blossom + Laura Palmer + The Dead Girl Narative

one genuine complement i have for riverdale season 1 (aka before the show got interesting) was the decision to kill off jason and have his ghost pretty much the driving purpose of the whole show. usually in tv shows like riverdales, beginning with a murder, that murder is always a woman. she exists solely for this purpose, to be figuratively undressed by the (usually male character) solving the case. the victim is beautiful in death, posed, and angled towards the camera.

the treatment of jason blossoms death can be compared and contrasted with another iconic flip of the 'dead girl narative', laura palmer. ok now that im thinking about it its kinda crazy. both offer an interesting commentary on this narrative.

we are able to learn about these characters through what they left behind. we see jason live on through his sister and twin children. we can see this, but we are never able to actually learn from the source itself, both laura and jason. jason's only lines in the entire series are of his counterpart in rivervale, and laura's are her backward lines in the black lodge. this furthers the dead girl narative, their only actual words being from twisted versions of themselves, just like the twisted versions that those not close to them found after their deaths.

another similarity is the world's impact in the wake of their death. post mordom they ate still there and present, driving every action in the town, the root of all evil. the town of riverdale will never be the same, and laura palmer leaves behind a trail of bodies.

i would love to talk more abt it, but this is just the barebones of my analysis! if anyone has any questions or comments abt their reqding of this plz let me know! id love to hear it!

The heart-rending expression of a boy-player’s female corpse begins a tradition still prevalent in Shakespearean performance: a Shakespeare heroine smothered in her bed does not look like a bruised, violated victim disfigured by petechiae, bleeding lips and burst blood vessels, but like an attractive young woman lying with her eyes shut.

Todays song of the day is:

Dead Girls by Penelope Scott

“Sometimes I see her on the sidewalk

Biking on the wet chalk

Spelling out their names

And I feel insane”

Forgotten Dead Girl

[coweyed]

In our graves we are all beautiful girls. Our skin is falling away like the tide. Our bones are long and slender, all inhibitions gone. We’re lovely in the mud that fit boys have dug for a council wage, not knowing how beautiful we lay there like honeymoon brides anticipating sex, not expecting death - serene as pawns and queens and home in ourselves forever.

MELISSA LEE HOUGHTON, FROM BEAUTIFUL GIRLS
