The sharpness of the tongue defeats the sharpness of the warrior
Because I’m a petty asshole, I took an hour and pulled together my own version of the proverb on the new Sonic Screwdriver. Let me know if any of y’all want this as a sticker or something, and I’ll digitize it when I have a chance.
ETA: now available as a sticker! Links are shared on my blog :)

thinking about just how likely it is that Batman was the only person Harley told about having suicidal thoughts whilst in Arkham in Detective Comics #831
"I was seriously considering hanging sheets from the light in my cell and doing the maximum checkout when I heard this voice..."
Detective Comics #831
and how he knew when she strapped that bomb to herself in Batman (2016) #100 that he had to go after her because she was going let herself die in an attempt to end Joker's rampage for good but that she refused to physically do it because he didn't want to her Kill him and he told her that so she's found a middle ground
"We don't need to end it this way. He needs to be locked back up."
that she'd rather die than keep living with his presence in the world haunting her, haunting Them.
That if he did choose Joker, she wasn't going to disarm the bomb herself.
"Honey. You're talking to the wrong girl if you think he's not dangerous locked up in Arkham. It's like I said. That's not good enough for me. Not anymore."
the way he yells for her as she leaves.
"You're only going to get to one of us in time, Bats. Who's it going to be?"
"Harley!"
the way the two men stare at each other in the way they have so many times before, in those moments when Joker stayed or prioritized their fight over her. the way he knew Joker loved the thrill of it all and thought it was funny, thought there was No way Batman would leave him and that this game had to end as according to the rules. And that Batman would do so, he would follow the rules and save him. The way he immediately assumed Batman would choose him, choose his life and choose to stay and disarm the bomb.
And how Batman didn't do that. How Batman walked away from him, leaving him to die or escape or whatever, because He was choosing Harley and her safety and prioritizing her life over him.
The way he stared him in the eyes before choosing the woman Joker had always left to die over him. The way that it was always Him, it was never a question if he would choose Batman over her, but when faced with that type of scenario, Joker is the one that gets left behind to die.
The way she literally woke up in the hospital instead of them having a scene just outside after he removed it. because she didn't intend to live in one of the two options. the way the bomb probably did go off to some capacity because you don't just end up in the hospital knocked out for a week.
Him saying that he's glad she's okay, after everything they've been through, this war and Everything else. and the way he didn't brush off her concern
"I'm glad you're okay."
"Are you?"
"I had to bury my father again today. I did it with my family."
i just, i can't,,,,, i cant

I am once again in that mood to baby the hell out of Bakugo
Like it never leaves some days are just worse than others lmao
He gives me cute aggression
MOOD because tbh when is it not baby Bakugo hours?😩😩😩 He's a googoo gaga 24/7 in my book, so I think the question shouldn't be about when you're in the mood to but... how it's going to be done this time.
I don't know about you, but I literally always wanna shake him around like a little doll and call him my cutesy-wutesy cheeto-peeto pie. Pull his hair and rubs cheeks together and even kick and nudge him to annoy him because he's just SO CUTE.
And like, lalala, that might make him mad but HOW COULD HE BE MAD AT YOU FOR THINKING HE'S CUTE? I can def. see him getting kind of exasperated over it, but when you just wanna hug him and kiss him and be so sweet to him, it's hard for him to stay upset.
He probably just learns (see: is forced) to accept it after a certain point LOL. Sit back and relax when you get really deep into your cute aggression hours (trying to climb him like a monkey, pick at his hair and squishy bits, even knee at him some), cuz even though it makes him blushy and a lil bit handsy trying to calm you down, he knows it's not gonna stop unless you're able to ride the wave out.
(And I feel like he normally has two reactions: one, to get a little shy and pouty, or two, play along and start manhandling you right back.)
But really, who are we kidding? He probably LOVES the attention (at least, a little bit). Gets so smug after awhile and has to remind himself all the time not to brag about how you think he's the "cutest thing in the world."
Embarrassing (not really).
-
It's also kinda funny to think... when you first start dating, he gets so confused when you don't think his competitiveness and gremlin-ness is serious, but rather... adorable.
Me and anon out here when Bakugo is talking about wanting to fight someone: SMILE FOR THE CAMERA BABY, YOU'RE DOING AMAZING, CUTIE PIE!!!
Bakugo: wtf...okay.

not to shill for tumblr or be a mobile user on main but i do just wanna point out i think the response to the dashboard clown thing is a little disproportionate, all things considered
like if you just dont like the show thats fine but the way some of these posts are worded very weirdly and acting like its somehow way worse than.....literally any of the other ads? like yea tumblr is a company and not your friend, netflix is unethical and sucks. but like. are we pretending tumblr hasnt had ads for like. horrible fad diets and the fucking trump coin and god knows what else but like this really isnt worse than like. the fact that ppl with strobing triggers are constantly endangered by the ads on this site.
and maybe its super bad on desktop or something but so far this ad campaign has actually been one of the less obtrusive ones vs their other ads, imo. I dont think ive really seen them in between the posts on my dashboard? (hard to tell bc I try to automatically ignore those anyway) but like it feels like most of this ad campaign has been. a little fictional character at the top of the dashboard. and like. a separate dashboard "tab".....that i dont have to look at, and i dont. and its fine. i barely even noticed it. i probably wouldnt have thought twice about it if everyone hadnt started complaining about it. if tumblr wants to do more ads that are just dashboard tabs that I dont actually have to look at and arent interrupting my main dash i think im fine with that actually. like. obviously no advertisements are better than ads but like i dont have a particular problem with the structure or honestly even the content of this ad. its for a show that i might be intrigued to watch honestly. but its also not being targeted to me personally based on data harvesting its just blanket targeting to everyone.
again, id prefer no ads, but if we're going have them: i would actually prefer it be for things i might be interested in, but without the data harvesting to do it. if i HAVE to see ads, this is a way that i dont mind as much.
