Lord of the Rings fanart! I watched for the first time recently and loved it

best depiction of the batfam will always be "You grew up to be the person who would have saved you" but it applies to them each respectively and that's why none of them can see eye to eye and also get up their own asses about things and go to such great lengths to defend their personal brand of justice. Because they can never stop trying to save themselves from their own history.

Bruce needed someone to seek justice for him. He needed the world to be fair, and someone to try to make it so. Batman will prioritize justice over all else.

Dick needed someone to care. He needed the assurance that he was part of a family and loved. Nightwing follows his emotions, even to the point of killing the Joker, and will do anything to protect his family.

Jason needed someone to protect him by any means necessary. He needed to be worth enough to kill for, and he needed something that assured him he was actually safe. Red Hood kills and will never stop killing, because that’s the protection he neeeed.

Tim needed someone to listen to him, to hear him out and then talk him down from his worst spirals. So Red Robin will always be there for Bruce, ready to talk him down, even after everything.

Steph needed someone to stand up for her and say “screw authority” to protect her from her father. Spoiler won’t accept authority or stay quiet because she knows that’s what screwed her over.

Damian needs someone to accept him and acknowledge him. I hope he’ll grow into the type of hero who can be this for others.

All Quiet On The Western Front (2022)

These are not recent.

[booklovingcreechur]

I doubt there is much that compares to the feeling of finishing a good book. Reaching those tragically blank endpapers and being ripped from the world that you lived only moments ago. There is a little grief, I think.

The sky and the winds are mine. I claim them

"This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war."

I just finished reading All Quiet on the Western Front today. I'm not really sure what to say about it that hasn't been said already, only that something inside of me broke while I read it. After putting it down, my insides have felt a sort of hollowness that I can't seem to shake. I heavily suggest you read it, if you haven't already.

That feeling when you're talking in your second language, switch to your native one and then somehow manage to forget the most mundane word imaginable for a few seconds.

Watching Captain America: The First Avenger and then right after, watching All Quiet on the Western Front is not necessarily the funniest tonal shift I've experienced, but perhaps the most sobering one.

It's funny how books seem to press memories between their pages just as well as flowers.
