Prompt:
It’s not that Jason forgot, per se.
But between smuggling a toddler out of the League of Assassins, trekking halfway across the world, and finding a suitable hiding place that’s also child friendly… well, it kind of slipped his mind that he’s supposed to be… dead.
Something that comes back to bite him in the ass when he takes Dami out for some ice cream and just so happens to run into non other than Brucie-fucking-Wayne

2021 re2 and re4 doodles i unearthed, 2020-2021 were the years of art block for me - i drew a lot, but not too many of my drawings felt quite right. anyways... sherry finally got that puppy (big puppy...) and parrot she always wanted! im a big fan of taking a single obscure piece of dialogue/game mechanic/inventory item etc and then drawing it

you know what i think. i think if Shinomori had done nothing. that none of the vestiges would have been taken.
like
the vestiges can only transfer if the living holder or they want to (see: movie 2).
But Shinomori thought that Shigaraki could steal them, so he did a "take me instead" thing. He put himself forward all like "you can have me but not the others" and since he did, that technically counts as permission, so he got stolen.
my man you should have just ducked with the others. this is what too much heroism does to someone. you own petard my guy.
if they had all ducked and dodged the hand would have just been grasping around missing them until Izuku broke contact

The lights out au is the first au in a while to peak my interest : O
I gotta know, why is Sally evil and what does she do?
Also how's Barnaby doing? <: (
im Delighted to hear that!! (also hi! your laughingstock art is adorable!)
Sally isn't really evil per se... she's just sleepwalking! while having mild to intense nightmares! most of the time she just sleeps in her house, but once per day she takes a walk - a "patrol" - around the neighborhood before going back to sleep. every so often she wakes up Extra agitated, and needs to be soothed to sleep or she'll get destructive. in general, though, Nightlight!Sally just patrols and attacks anything that makes noise until it goes Quiet again
and Barnaby! well! he's having the most wonderful dreams <3

see, the thing is that (up until countdown at least) there’s no symmetry in jay and bruce's respective ways of grieving.
jay is perpetually trapped in the bargaining stage of grief, trying to reach out to bruce from beyond death.
bruce is way past this. he has settled into a quiet, passive type of mourning, devoid of hope for a reunion. and to stay in this state, he had to necessarily disregard jay’s true image – an image of an earnest, bright child, his son. the memory of jay has been reconstructed in his mind a thousand times and sealed in a folder labeled as “soldier” (or even just a personal failure). it's ugly. it's unfair. it's a coping mechanism.
so to me, the issue isn't that bruce wants his dead, sweet little boy back – the issue is that he barely remembers him. if he did, maybe he would be willing to take a leap of faith and search for that person in jason who came back. but he's not even trying to reconcile the image of 15yo jay with red hood – or rather, maybe the image of a volatile kid that he created in his grief fits with the red hood a bit too accurately. maybe it's a bit too convenient. it works perfectly well for his own self-preservation and sanity, to think that jason has been doomed from the beginning.
jason, on the other hand, is cursed with remembering. one of the very sparse concepts that i found interesting in rhato was when in #3 (2011) jason chose to give up on his happiest memory – skipping patrol to watch a movie with bruce. maybe it's because recalling these tender, sweet moments is what gives him hope, and motivates him to keep bargaining and trying to reconcile with bruce. and bargaining with reality is exhausting. the readers and jay know that it's a lost cause – both because neither bruce nor jay are the same people anymore, but also because, ironically, batman, the symbol of hope, doesn't have any left when it comes to getting his son back. bruce, in his grief, essentially closed the door. jay, in his grief, is banging on them.

i understand the reasoning behind the backlash against ppl that focus on the love in stranger things above all else, but like. the tides are turning in such a way that it's like some people expect there to be minimal/scarce levity or interpersonal growth next season, and.. to me.. that sounds about as unlikely as the idea that st5 will be a gay romcom.
stranger things has always made time for love (of all kinds) and lighter moments between the horror and action. sometimes the horror and action is the act of love, and sometimes the only way to save the day is by focusing on the love and letting it power the heroes and light their way forward.
this show goes dark for sure—i mean, we started this previous season with a literal brutal and gory massacre of many young children lol—but. it's still overall a mostly "light" show, because of how the darkness is mediated by the light. those moments are important because they further humanize the characters and incentivize the viewer to want to see them have their happy ending after everything.
there's always light, love, and laughter to be found in every season. interpersonal relationships have always progressed alongside the main plot, especially because we know that those two things are linked & community/love is the only way out, and that isn't going to suddenly change just because it's their last stand.
it's for sure not going to be heartstopper, but i feel it's likely not going to be the road or the mist either.

"You don't understand," the villain hissed. "Loving me will ruin you, you stupid thing. Maybe you want that, maybe you want to be ruined and left unstable and hurt, but you don't seem to realise the extent. I will take all the light you can give me and let you burn to ash, even though I can see it'll kill you. I will not blow you out. I'll take it, selfishly, and I'll exhaust you until you hate me. I—"
The hero trapped them against a wall and kissed them, and kissed them more, and then some more until the villain was pushing against them dizzily and the lack of air crumpled their lungs up.
Then, the hero let go.
The villain slumped against the wall, staring, reeling, gasping in precious air.
"I don't care," said the hero. Just as breathless. "I don't care, I really don't. You think we're bad for each other? Then let's just exhaust each other until the novelty wears off. Until then," the hero kissed them again, harder, shorter, and the villain couldn't suppress their noises, "I'll just take what I can get."
The villain didn't have a response to that.
The hero kissed them again.

I'm so glad to find a fellow Jaime dead by the end of the series denier! And for the same reasons too. If Brienne didn't have that ugly & feeling unloved but still a hopeless romantic anyway backstory, I really would accept Jaime dying. It just doesn't feel right to have our bb girl's love finally reciprocated (when for most of her life she felt like it would never happen to her) to the same degree she deserves only to have him taken from her. 😔
literally... like have you considered i am a brienne girl first and ice and fire enjoyer second.............................? i WILL be in the trenches making sure my girl's story is satisfying and that also includes her romance because surprise...! romance and love is actually a big thing in her narrative as it's the driving force of most of her decisions and it's not just me being a delusional jb stan. but anyway as i've said, i think if jaime dies and it's written in a way that makes sense i CAN accept it (but that doesn't mean i'd like it!! but i can live with it....) but if it's something superficial like - the lannisters are the bad guys and you obviously can't have the bad guys survive by the end of the series + ignore the arc the character went through and just kill him off bc he's one of the baddies i'd be like no thank you <3

As much as I enjoy the Happily Ever After that Rue got to have I think it's worth exploring the alternative where she stays in reality and builds a life outside of the Story.
Also I think I just discovered another bitter angle to the bittersweetness of the ending- Rue never did manage to disentangle herself from the fairytale world she was taken away to. She got the best she could hope for- a happy ending to her fairytale- but she never did manage to return to the world she was stolen from.

"...we could just run away somewhere, the two of us.” (Patreon)
Too many for a single photoset, but since these are a bit on the scribbly side I didn’t want to split them up either ♪ Enjoy the added commentary!
Couple’a cut panels, Max is reacting to Dexter putting his plans in motion here
Very inspired from the ever-so-slightly earlier scene in Helix of Max covering his ears to block out Dexter’s call ♥ Even when things are going his way it’s too overwhelming!
*Summer home. I forgot what he referred to it as lol
Can’t be a meeting if you just ditch entirely!
Surprised by this turn of events, just keeps getting better and better
Of course he had to say something and make Dex mad again haha ♪
Unfortunately his dialogue here was a little too silly for being high and sad and stressed so I had to move it, but he still turned out cute so here it is instead!
Guilty guilty guiltyyyy
Knocked out from the long car trip ♥ He definitely needs it
I love this shot, Dexter leaning in to check on him 💕
He’s so flippin’ cute I fjdsklafd
Very awake all of a sudden, spooked out of sleep. You’re the first ones here, it’s all fine
Head tilts forever ♥
He is still coming down after all
Pathetic, as always
Walked to be within sight of the house so he doesn’t go wandering off
Staff at the summer home?? Sure, why not lol, maybe they’re preparing for the Vyers to come by
