#bruce wayne #batblogging #pretty much all downhill after this though #i don't like when writers feel the need to make the night bruce's parents died Even Worse #'what if thomas and martha took bruce to see a movie because thomas slapped him earlier that day' #what if you shut the fuck up

I feel like Solar Flare and Jack's existence is extremely messed up. In this essay I will.

I want to start off by saying that I absolutely LOVE Solar Flare and Jack and I'm happy they are/were in the show. My problem is the way they were created and why.

Both Lunar and Bloodmoon were originally created to be tools for Eclipse, just as Solar Flare and Jack were created to be tools. The difference is that Lunar and Bloodmoon were created sentient. They both had the ability to recognize that Eclipse was abusing them and were aware of the fact that they were tools. Both of them had the power to actively change their fates, or at least attempt to. Solar Flare didn't have that ability. Jack doesn't have that ability either.

While Solar Flare's existence wasn't at all surprising to me considering what Eclipse did with Lunar and Bloodmoon, it caught me off guard that he wasn't sentient. That's a problem for many reasons considering he wouldn't know he was being mistreated or that he didn't want to serve the purpose he was built for. Yes, he grew more sentient as time went on, but think about it. He was built and then a little while later, Eclipse took over his body and forced Solar Flare back into the headspace where they both later died. Solar Flare never actually got a chance to live.

Jack on the other hand was created to protect Lunar. He no longer has that purpose because he annoyed and angered Lunar when he simply didn't know better. Jack also has the problem where he can't escape his situation and is stuck doing the bidding of others because yet again, he doesn't know better. But what irks me with Jack is the fact that he was created by Solar and was neglected and ignored the same way that Eclipse had done with his creations. In his attempts to please Lunar, Solar left behind his own creation which now no longer has a purpose

#I was thinking about this during class earlier today #because in my personal opinion it's incredibly messed up to create another being for one purpose and not even give them a choice- #-in the matter #I feel like along the way they learned “oh if we create sentient tools they'll abandon us and create their own lives at some point” #So they moved on to creating non-sentient animatronics #Which in my opinion is far worse since they were built without the capacity to know any different #They can't even form their own sentience because their AI was specifically stunted so sentience wouldn't be achievable #chocolix rambling #sun and moon show #tsams #sams jack #sams solar flare #It's okay if you disagree but please don't be rude

(laying down) ah lads it's bad

#remember how earlier this week it was like 'i stared at a wall for 2 hours because i couldn't get myself to work' #so that's back but worse because no i don't even have the desire to do the work at all and it's giving me intense anxiety #i'm. going to try opening up all my work and taking a nap to reset #and hopefully when i wake up i can just. come to my computer and start working . . . . . . #uhggh . . . . . just feels extra hard to focus after the dogshit morning i've had . . . . . . .

“Hunter’s Moon,” Vengeance of the Moon Knight, (Vol. 2/2024), #4.

Writer: Jed MacKay; Penciler and Inker: Alessandro Cappuccio; Colorist: Rachelle Rosenberg; Letterer: Cory Petit

#Marvel #Marvel comics #Marvel 616 #Vengeance of the Moon Knight #Vengeance of the Moon Knight vol. 2 #Vengeance of the Moon Knight 2024 #Moon Knight comics #latest release #Hunter’s Moon #Yehya Badr #!!!! I am so indebted to Mr. MacKay for making the framing device of his comics just straight up therapy sessions #it’s such a great way to easily have characters get to the root of what they’re really thinking/feeling #and I love having that opportunity with a typically very reserved character as Dr. Badr #and it offers such great food for thought #since Marc’s character is unfortunately my specialty I am fascinated by the comparisons that can be drawn here #or rather the contrasts #since so much of Marc’s life (for better or worse) involved pushing back against every sort of authority possible #(his father/religion/the Marine Corps/Khonshu) #or at least that was a prominent characteristic of his in earlier MK comics #meanwhile Dr. Badr is all-in and I find the depth of that loyalty fascinating #that it can be as equally healthy or destructive as consistently questioning authority can be #and his utter acceptance (and willingness even) that nothing but madness and eventual death awaits him #what can I say I’m greatly intrigued by characters with convictions strong enough to die for #(and there’s that last panel which on re-reading is rather cheeky foreshadowing for such fantastic imagery oh my gosh)

Hi, I'm sorry this isn't a question but I just wanted to tell you how much I absolutely love your Bill fanfiction, not only is it completely in character but you took so many things from other Canon works like the secret messages from lost legends which makes it feel all the more fleshed out. I can't praise you enough for the amazing work youre doing and I hope you keep the enthusiasm since I've never read a Bill redemption fic that doesn't focus on romance be finished. God speed!

You never have to apologize for sending me nice things about my writing lmao. Thank you so much!! I'm glad you're enjoying it so much, and I really hope I keep the enthusiasm to the end too.

#(me earlier today: 'would it be TOO obscure if i reference Tate & Backle's Bait & Tackle shop by name?') #(me: *gets this message* me: 'well now I HAVE to include the reference') #(I hope you're not gonna be disappointed when there eventually IS romance; but like it'll still never be the 'focus.') #(romance will not be what saves him. in fact if this was ONLY romance it would probably make him Even Worse.) #(romance is just one of MANY optional pieces that can make up A Healthy God Damn Support System For The First Time In His Miserable Life) #anonymous #ask #about my writing #bill goldilocks cipher

it takes about 5 seconds of thinking about my personal life before i start to cry now i think that’s really cool and good. fun too

#said literally 3 words earlier to my mom and started to cry so i stopped immediately like i’m so tired dude. #i don’t want to think about any of it anymore. i wish i could just go on autopilot. i’m so mentally checked out #from everything and everyone. i feel like i’ve given up on almost everything i enjoy doing #i just work go home watch tv sleep and then repeat it all over and over. i can’t be still. i can’t live in the moment anymore really even #because that means i have to be present and absorb what’s actually going on around me. all the change #i feel like i’m fading into the background more and more every day #i don’t even care either it’s just kind of like …? good lol #the more i fight my grief the worse it gets #if i can outrun it until my time here is up then that’s fine. i’m sure i won’t but. lol #anyway if you read all this i’m fine i just don’t really like being alive it’s whack imo nothing brings me joy long term #it’s all fleeting. mostly i just feel blank and disconnected #and that’s it. and tired lol

hi it's mineralteacup!! can i request dave smoking maybe?

@mineralteacup i hc that dave picks up smoking after sburb

#dave strider #brodave #homestuck #but yeah ig i just hc he picks it up bc now he has nothing #no good stuff of bro left. u know hes hung the fuck up on it #does he actually miss him and his shitty ways. idk #in the abuse way he sure does #smoking reminds him of how his childhood smelled #just grasping for crumbs ig #wow hes not ok #when hes like wow i’d rather have that modicum of normalcy in a toxic relationship #than have had to play that shitty ass game #(also wouldnt/couldnt trade it for the world) #cue feeling ungrateful and even worse than earlier #tfw u try to replicate what u know to grasp control #even if its mixed feelings at best.

i mean i dont love that there is seemingly no way to position my right knee where it isnt still trying to dislocate. but as all of my pain management specialists would say: "...huh. anyway."

#its fine #i am wishing i had the foresight to just get even one of those cheap shitty amazon wheelchairs #for the fiber fest. i was standing at the elevators at work earlier for a while and was sliding farther and farther #down the wall as i attempted to place my legs in a way that prevented my knees from bending the wrong way without dislocating them as well #couldnt do it tho. maybe i will magically be fine ! maybe i will sit on the ground a lot and then stay there bc getting up also hurts #local idiot discovers desperately pretending disabilities dont exist does not magically make them go away for the millionth time. #will he learn this time that this actually only makes things way worse forever and permanently ? historically no #:| #chronic illness

#still thinking abt that scene in the underdark where xan is (force) propositioned by that drow lady #and while his first response is shock/apprehension ('*me*??') #radri loses regulation over the volume of her voice going 'what?! no!!' louder than anyone's ever really heard her before #when challenged though she can't come up with a drow-valid reason why hunrae *can't* just take xan #(yes i just now remembered her name lmao) #the thoughts 'bc consent??' 'he'd hate that' '*he's mine he promised*' keep getting translated into an ineffective verbal 'you just cant' #so xan saves himself and falls into a worse mood after it and radri falls into an equally poor mood at how she couldnt do anything/she can #never really do anything can she #oh but there's a kind of equivalent/reversal moment when radri's offered a 'night with one of with phaere's males' as a reward #and xan is just silently panicking/trying to reassure himself with 'she wouldn't' 'she'd hate that' 'she loves me... right?' #radri honestly has an easier time with the excuse this time bc she's not feeling as much panic/pressure as earlier #but the excuse that comes out is along the lines of 'uh monogamy is custom in my city and i already have a male--' #'NO no not one of these guys in my party!! (don't look too closely at them!)' #'i prefer not to travel with him! to make the reunions sweeter...??' #xan's mind catches on 'i prefer not to travel with him' and he gets in a bitter mood bc that might as well be true-- #bc really what use is he when he can't even do anything to help/save/protect her despite being right by her side #the underdark has them both on an internal monologue of 'i hate this' but while xan's is mainly towards their surroundings #radri's is almost entirely inward & so isnt eased the moment they reach the surface like xan's is

Really dark topic, but what do you think would it take for Enji (pre-AM retirement, obviously) to threaten to, or legit kill Rei, mindcontrolling quirks aside?

mind-controlling quirks aside... i don't think he would threaten to kill her. he'd basically never have something to gain from killing her that he couldn't get some other far easier and less risky way. If she was able to prevent him from abusing Shoto, or threatened to take him/all the kids away, Enji could very much threaten divorce, institutionalization, maybe even arrest, but he can stop her from doing that without threatening to kill her.

If Enji were to kill her, which could happen, i don't think it'd be premeditated. But he has hit her before, and Rei isn't exactly going to do great with heat or flame, so if she intervened at the wrong time in the dojo... it's plausible enough i'd accept it as a fic premise.

#thatd have HUGE ramifications tho #not even touching if there's legal reprecussions or not #but Fuyumi? if he *killed* her mother? Shoto? Natsuo? absolutely no forgiveness #and even Enji i think at his worst would be horrified afterwards. even if part of him blames Rei he'd still carry some of it. try to surpas #All Might when he knows he killed his wife? yeah ha no. plus wherever we are with the Touya mess. #(i could even see Touya being like 'hm would i perhaps regain father's favor if i took the blame?' which is another horrible thing #on top of his other kids hating him forever) #like those kids would probably end up with.... the himuras... so thats not great for them either.... #anon #pocket talks to people #be a uh /fascinating/ way to try to do a faster 'be a better person arc' tho #good news: you will end up taking accountability for what youve done and internalize how horrible it was to do. ten years earlier! #bad news: only after i make you do something even worse tho and kill your children's mother and your wife

"You named this chapter 'Danse en Rouge'."

"That I did, yes."

"For the dancing part?"

"No, that was just some fun for the characters."

"Then what's the name for?"

"All the blood and the dancing in it that they will be doing...figuratively, and maybe literally. I dunno yet."

"Not allowed a single chapter that's just fun relaxing time, are we?"

"The entire first chapter would like a word with you."

"Oh, right, the meeting and filth and all the dread beneath it. Real relaxing."

"Nobody dies, or is assaulted, or does anything strictly against their will. It counts!"
