Don't mind me, I just have a lot of thoughts about Helena Sandsmark and motherhood.

#she loves Cass so much and just wants the best for her but she's so scared of her getting hurt that her love starts feeling stifling to Cass #Helena views herself as Cassie's shield from the horrid parts of the world but Cass sees her as a barrier from the worthwhile stuff in life #and the way she immediately gets Cissie away from her mother is just so meaningful to me #because she tries so hard to protect Cassie that she can’t even fathom hurting her and so she doesn't hesitate when protecting Cissie #I love Helena so much she's such a good mom with such a complex dynamic with her daughter #I just think she's neat #helena sandsmark #cassie sandsmark #wonder girl #cissie king jones #young justice #young justice comics #dc comics #comic series #my post

What I went into ECCC expecting to buy:

- Whatever interesting back issue bundles I could find, mostly hoping for 90s era Superboy and Impulse and 2000 era Batgirl.

- Whatever trade paperbacks caught my interest, expecting mostly 90s and early 00s era DC trades

- Any figurines I felt like adding to my collection.

What I've walked out with after 2 days on the floor:

- A dozen indie graphic novels

- A birthday present for my younger brother

- These prints, which I bought signed directly from Todd Nauck and his wife and which make me quietly happy every time I look at them.

I'm going to hang them up in my bedroom. 🥰

#young justice #tim drake #todd nauck #can I just say. i love being an adult #it's just nice to have my own space that I get to decorate with things I like #and that I've reached a point in my life where I don't have to worry about letting myself drop $50 on a nice little treat for myself #just because I know it'll make me happy to have it #Todd and his wife were so nice too I really enjoyed the panel I saw him on too

imagine going through god’s most worst teen angst and finally coming out of it in your mid twenties and then having to babysit a teen version of you but this time he has a rocket launcher built into his arm

#young justice #roy harper #will harper #everything about the roy harper clones is so insane #from every perspective but especially roy’s #imagine being 15 getting kidnapped and then waking up eight years later #there’s a 23yo version of you who’s fucked up his life and has a daughter and you’re missing an arm #i’d also want a rocket launcher built into my arm at that point

Same VA. Exact same voice.

If you wanted Keith to be pushed towards far more emotional range and you can handle lots of blood and gore, I recommend watching Invincible.

Steven Yeun didn't hold back with his performance, didn't have to, and the higher age rating + faithfulness to a really good comic book plot also play a role, which could help his performance be more layered

Keith is more aloof than Mark (like, very diff upbringing), but I don't think Mark's arc and story beats are too different: even though the setting and genre isn't the same between these two shows.

#also my bias but: this has both more heart and comedy than Marvel and DC because the characters and tone feel fresher #Marvel and DC stuff..even Young Justice..overall feels too stale and tired for my liking. with a couple of exceptions #you also get to hear Keith flung against walls...through the air...beaten within an inch of his life.. :S #keith kogane #vld #voltron #mark grayson #invincible #steven yeun

missing spitfire in these trying times.

strap in for this week's fic flavor: the failsafe episode of season one of the young justice cartoon except the simulation just won't. fuckin. end.

(fics that inspired this at the end)

If I ever did sit down to make my own fic, I'd split it in 3 parts:

The Simulation: bits and pieces of the 40 years Dick lives after most everyone he knows has died

The Return: the immediate aftermath and healing from the trauma of having not-quite-actually lived a whole life only to wake up and find out it was all fake. nothing traumatizing about that whatsoever.

The Unintended Consequence: aka the twist I'd love to add and would hint to in the second part - finding out the simulation, through martian mind fuckery, pulled from the real world (and in many cases, from real minds). Dick meets a bunch of people he didn't think were real outside the confines of his simulated life. A bunch of rowdy, heroism-inclined teens across the years get to meet the sibling/friend/mentor figure they all dreamed up one night.

(actual idea snippets under the cut)

.

Dick Grayson is 14 and most of the world's heroes have died. He planned a suicide mission that left him the sole survivor of a doomed team he helped found. The invasion may have been stopped, but is this really the price he wanted to pay?

The first face he sees in the infirmary is Roy's, and he has to close his eyes and just breathe for a few minutes because for one painful moment he'd thought it was Wally. But this isn't the world where his best friend miraculously survived alongside him. This is the one where he got his best friend killed and didn't even give him the courtesy of following behind him. Behind them.

.

Dick Grayson is 27 and has lived longer without Bruce than with him. The invasion's anniversary is always a tough day for him, but that morning seems especially harrowing. He'll get shit for it later, but can't resist stepping out onto the balcony of the manor's master bedroom (Bruce's old bedroom) for a smoke -- his first since he'd promised to quit if Jason, just 15 then, did too.

"Bad habits tend to pile up," he'd said, a rueful quirk to his tired grin. He'd tapped the cigarette twice on the railing and added, lower, "and this one's especially nasty, huh."

He inhales, watches the sun creep across the horizon, and lets acrid smoke burn through his lungs for a long moment before blowing it out in a small cloud. His eyes water, but he doesn't cough. It tastes just as bad as it did the first time he smoked one, not even a year after the invasion and treading water as Robin proved insufficient.

There hadn't been enough heroes to go around then, and Dick had been trained by one of the best. It hadn't been fair, but it had been his plan that had ultimately stopped the invasion. His shoulders everyone's expectations fell on.

He takes another drag, then smudges the lit end against the rail he's leaned on when he hears a boot scuff purposefully against the roofing above him.

"Todd and Pennyworth will be upset with you."

He doesn't turn around. Damian doesn't jump down to join him.

.

Dick Grayson is 54 and wakes up in a room full of ghosts. He hears his long-dead father-figure tell his long-dead team about a simulation they weren't meant to win. A training exercise gone wrong and only half a day spent under their mentors' careful, if slightly panicked, supervision.

He looks at his hands, watching the way his gloves crease when he flexes them in and out of tight fists. He looks at his team, their eyes a little haunted but shoulders slumped with relief even as they grumble. Batman's heavy, gloved hand settles on his shoulder and the weight of it is a nauseating mix of foreign-familiar.

He opens his mouth. Closes it.

Tears prick his eyes behind his domino mask, and he tells himself the suffocating, acidic void building in his chest is just some leftover side effect of the ordeal and not the grief-guilt of outliving yet another family (no matter that they hadn't been real in the end).

.

Dick Grayson is 16-going-on-56 and well used to the coincidences piling up between his simulated life and the real thing. Some of it -- missions and villains he remembers cropping up -- he's marked for Bruce to review and sort as he pleases. Some -- security for the cave, team building anecdotes, and training regimens -- he's shared with the team. And some he keeps only for himself.

Tim is one of those. He knows it's not fair to the kid (so much smaller now than he ever was when Dick lived his simulated life), but he can't help being selfish just for this. Tim is the one kid he's sure he didn't make up, and if Dick's taken to babysitting the kid just to be near at least one member of the family he built for himself in the wake of the worst days of his life .... Well, anyone who says shit about it can happily stand in line to have their teeth kicked in.

Despite this, it still catches him off-guard when he sees a familiar face pop up in one of Bruce's reports.

Jason Todd, caught boosting tires off the batmobile, is nearly the same age now as he was when Dick met him. He stares at the words, but none of them really sink in beyond the kid's name and address. He's moving before he's even made the decision.

He's used to the world kicking him when he's down - lived it for 40 frustrating years. But he has Bruce again. And things with Tim have been so good. And he's always been selfish when it comes to family. If he could just see Jason. If he could just meet him. If he could talk to him.

If if if if if--

YJ 2019 holds no value in editorial’s heart, just like most of pre-Flashpoint canon. They’re so up their own ass about the latest relaunch/reboot, that even their newer stuff seems cheap and hollow. YJ 2019 isn’t even five years old since conclusion, and Dark Crisis shot those three books dead. Now we’re in the Dawn of DC, and no hope for another reunion anytime soon unless someone retcons Dark Crisis bc of the damage it did to the Core Four’s dynamic. I am a Bart Allen supporter first, and I HOPE he’s muted some contacts after that shit.

There is something so comforting about characters who choose not to be evil.

Like, Luke Skywalker stands on the precipice of not coming back, almost let’s his rage and fear overtake him, and you can see him realize that. You can see the moment where he makes the conscious decision to take the hard way out of this. You can see him choose to stop, choose to control his own impulses, and choose to show mercy on a being that has not showed or been shown mercy in a very long time.

Or Cissie King-Jones in the Young Justice run. Her school was attacked, the woman who got Cissie out of her horrible living situation was murdered, and Cissie was inadvertently shown the tape that the murderer made of killing her, where he made her beg to live but shot her anyway. Cissie is rightfully pissed. Cissie hunts down the shooter. Cissie makes him beg for his life, makes him fear that she’s going to kill him. And, Superboy comes in to remind her that she doesn’t want to be a killer, but it’s Cissie herself who stops. It’s Cissie herself who realizes that she doesn’t want to be in this position, that she’s scared and feels alone and vulnerable and she doesn’t know what to do. Cissie pulls herself out of the situation, she decides that she can’t kill someone who isn’t worth going to prison for. She makes that choice, even though it’s the most difficult choice she’s made.

Peter Parker’s violent thoughts are often portrayed as a joke, especially early on, but Peter is always holding himself back. He is constantly making the choice not to hurt people. He is always conscious of his super strength and how easily he could hurt someone or kill someone with it. He is always aware of his own potential to cause pain. But he chooses not to. He chooses to keep his touch light, even when he could make the excuse he was distracted. He is always making that choice, he always makes the choice to be a better person, he always tries so damn hard to be a halfway decent person, even on days he wishes he could be awful and selfish and cruel.

There’s just something about characters who have walked that line. Characters who stopped themselves and thought “I don’t want to do this.” Characters who are scared and who worry that their capacity for evil alone makes them less good. Characters who decide that it doesn’t matter, because they’re going to try to be a better person whether the universe allows it or not.

I don’t know. I just love those characters who had to go through Hell to be what they eventually become. Characters who are broken down and build themselves back up even stronger. Characters who put the reins on their impulses and decide that they’re in control, not their instincts and not anybody who might desire to control them.

There’s something immensely comforting that some of the most powerful characters in media are not made any less powerful or any less heroic because of things they cannot control, like their thoughts. They can only control how they respond to those thoughts. That’s what separates them from villains, that’s what makes them so powerful, they don’t choose the easy way out of things. Their willpower is stronger than steel. And it’s nice.
