Title inspired by Packt Like Sardines In a Crushd Tin Box by Radiohead.
Jason: My criminal record? The only illegal thing I’ve done is absolutely killing it on the dance floor!
Jason: Ha ha, just kidding. I've killed a man.
"Oh Steph wouldn't like Jason just because they have similar backgrounds because he kills people/is a criminal/fights the bats!!"
This is in the 90's BEFORE he even tortured her. She doesn't go through with it, but she sees the evil he's capable of and its enough for her to justify it. She only doesn't because it "goes against what Batman taught her" but well.
That's the same man who would let her dad's friends infest her house for MONTHS until BLACK CANARY came to Gotham and handled it
A grown man who would go on to verbally degrade her, withhold the tools he gave everyone else, keep her intentionally isolated and then use her lack of resources against her.
So yeah. I'm sure Steph's faith in Batman and his teachings have wavered plenty. Just because DC casually discarded the way she was treated so she could play happy family with the boys, but she has NO REASON TO. Before she was aged down there was definite tension between her and Tim, and while Babs worked to get that relationship back, Bruce did no such thing. "Oh I'm just as proud of you as I was with the boys" when he thought she was dying doesn't fucking change how he treated her.
And of course, there's her own forray into betraying the family and being a criminal in The Next Batman series.
That's without getting into how she was compared to Jason, the way she watched a murdered east end kid be toted as another violent, reckless, idiot who didn't think and got himself killed.
"Oh but he tried to kill Tim!" First of all, you didn't read that comic. Jason was TESTING him, they were 2 years apart MAXIMUM, and Tim FOUGHT BACK. Jason gave him a little cut and a nose bleed that he slapped a bandage on and was fine. Damian also started his first meeting with Tim antagonistically and even though he was actively hostile to her, Steph still formed a close sibling bond. Her first meeting with Tim she threw a brick at him. He spent a not significant amount of time belittling her and telling her she wasn't cut out for hero work when she came back. This is the same guy who hallucinated Jason just so Jason could be like "Oh I got myself killed don't be like me!" Can we be real she doesn't give a shit. I guess you could count Hush but. I know they retconned it so that was Jason but when the fuck would he have had the time to do that between death, catanoia, the All-caste, and his murder tour.
Stephanie understands better than anyone that desperate circumstances lead to desperate people who do bad things. Stephanie understands being belittled and compared to a rich white boy who never had to fight to survive like you did. She understands being isolated from the hero community. She understands the evil that exists and the ways the system is corrupt, and that the bad guy never STAYS caught. And it's not like she has any big problem with people who kill, Babs said in 90's she would fucking LOVE Joker to drop dead and Dinah has killed multiple times. She literally switched places with Lady Shiva? These are both women Steph looks up to. You don't think Steph would feel any admiration at all for someone who gave Bruce a taste of what it feels like to be shown up? Someone who made Roman's life hell? Someone who made Tim put action behind his shit talking? An alley kid who came back and refused to be another statistic, who showed everyone who spent the last decade calling him stupid and reckless EXACTLY how cunning he can be? None? At all?
I just find it a little hard to believe.
the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds
#i was in a car with a linguist i had never met before the car trip and like half an hour in he looked at me#after i finished describing a geology thing that was happening out the window and asked if i'd ever spent much time on tumblr#the fuckor of it all#and then we spent six more hours driving#it sure does leave linguistic markers! i'm not sure i'm good with it (tags via @thoughtsformtheuniverse)
it is one thing to be a linguist and another to be a linguist who knows enough of 2010s Tumblr to spot one of its enjoyers
Oh! @meret118 see above comment! The use of the word "enjoyers" instead of "users" or "bloggers" -> You left a comment a while back asking, "Does this just mean vocabulary words? Other than blorbo and sweet cinnamon roll etc, I can't think of what a Tumblr accent would be." I almost never see anyone use the word "enjoyer" anywhere outside of tumblr, but I see it on tumblr fairly frequently.
Another one is the verb "perceive" i.e. "don't perceive me" "I am perceiving" "I am being percieved." That's something that feels very specific to tumblr parlance.
There's the thing where people on tumblr have an emotional reaction to something and instead of, or in addition to telling you how they feel about it using emotion words, they will narrate a fictional action in the present progressive tense. "I am gnawing at the bars of my enclosure "I am kissing you on the mouth" "you are going into the soup" "you are getting all of the awards"
I once saw someone use that response format in ... I think it was a restaurant review, or a doordash review, or something like that. It was very unexpected seeing it outside of a tumblr post.
There are a lot of other tumblr linguistic quirks I can't currently remember off the top of my head, but I'll instantly recognize them if I see/hear them outside of tumblr. It's always a bit startling to see them out of context.
when I was in university one of my modules was about internet slang and for our grades project we had to compile and analyse a small database of 100 words used by a specific community of our choice. I chose tumblr and that's how I stumbled across Gretchen McCulloch's research and discovered that yes not only did tumblr have its own vernacular and syntax (as @lierdumoa demonstrates), it was at the time a crucible of slang and memes probably unrivalled by any other part of the internet. and it's stayed that way! even the very title is McCulloch's book because internet is an example of this specific phraseology.
sadly my project is lost due to the website being wiped from the university database after graduation and my then laptop having a major hardware failure. backup your backups people! but the crux of the entire module was that the internet is full of communities using language not only as jargon for specific purpose but also to signal membership in said community. I even wrote a bit about non capitalisation and punctuation useage as a visual cue on tumblr and how including information in the reblog body or the tags indicated different levels of importance or intimacy of thought
I am holding the side of your face and looking deep in your eyes and telling you that love is stored in the syntax, and that we are rotating words together all at once as we all nod at their new and baffling meanings. if the devils sacrament be tumblr then the devils gospel is our collective voice. thanks for coming to my tedtalk
I am being perceived.
Once had someone tell me I talked like "one of those online shippers". They were not wrong.
Hmm depression

frankly, to me, the main conflict with Chreon in Vendetta that wasn’t exactly explored in the actual canon of it is that Chris has a choice in this. He feels a duty towards his job, like every other character, but he could quit.
Leon’s version of quitting is, realistically, dying.
and that’s always going to get them into fights because Chris will never understand, he can’t intuit the problem, and Leon’s never gonna talk about it.
but Leon will listen and take Chris’ criticisms to heart despite that inherent misunderstanding. Like yes the fight pissed him off, but then he clearly internalized it.
and even if Leon isn’t directly forced to work for the DSO anymore, they really haven’t dwelled on it in canon, being forced to work for the government under threat of Sherry’s life previously is going to fuck up a man’s relationship with getting close to people.
something’s gotta give before Chreon can really work out their tension. and Leon’s real good at not telling people shit.
(to be clear, this is like. half based on headcanons drawn from logical conclusions.)
Roy, pointing to Jason: Look at that face. How could anyone spend all day alone with that face and not fall in love?
Dick: Well, for starters, at some point the face starts talking.
my fav food is pizza so
Looooorrrrrrddddddd have mercy 😮💨😮💨😮💨
conversations overheard through the batkid com lines pt 60 (masterpost here)
Dick: -and remember to adjust the sensitivity with the new ones because B always makes them way too heavy,
Damian: yeah yeah, no fucking shit, Red broke his arm because of it or whatever, womp womp. I'll see you tonight.
*disconnecting ping*
Tim: ...'womp womp'?
Dick: he got that from Jason, i'm telling you.
Tim: he is- Damian has inherited so much shit from Jason it's actually insane. like- he was a lab child, right? he said they did experiments on him n' stuff. are we sure Talia didn't, like, use Jason's DNA to help create him?
Dick: nah they met after Damian was born. he does look a lot like Jason, but then Jason always looked quite similar to Bruce when he was younger, so i dunno. i think it's just the green eyes, plus they have the exact same scowl.
Tim: yeah but it's way more than that, i feel like they're super similar just- as people in general, too. the more Damian grows up, the more he's just... Jason if Jason was brown.
Dick: he's like Jason in a different font, though. like, Jason's a literature guy and Dami's an art guy, you know? they're the same but slightly to the left of each other. he raised Damian the most at the league, so i get it.
*connecting ping*
Bruce: Nightwing, do you have the building plans i asked for, for the Argentina case?
Dick: oh, yeah. i got them on this USB thingy, i forgot. i'm on my way to the docks if you wanna meet me there?
Bruce: i'll be there in five.
Tim: what do you think of Jason and Damian, Bruce?
Bruce: no names in the mask.
Tim: *tired groan*
Bruce: in what way?
Dick: we've just been talking about how much of Hood Robin seems to have inherited. out of all of us he's the most like Hood, right?
Bruce: *considering hum* i... suppose it is occasionally noticeable.... that he takes after Hood in... various aspects...
*two seconds of silence*
Dick, mystified: what the fuck was that?
Tim: -yeah you've definitely thought about this before.
Bruce, stiffly: i just told you it was noticeable, of course i've thought about it.
Dick, amused: yeah but you were weird about it, like you've thought about it more than you think you should have and you're ashamed of it.
Tim: you didn't want us to clock it.
Dick: -but we did. so. spill.
*pregnant pause*
Bruce: ok, fine. there... was an occasion a few months after we found out Hood was the one to have brought Robin to Gotham, where i started noticing similarities between Robin and the way Hood was when he was a child.
Tim: yeah that's what we were talking about, they talk similar sometimes; make the same expressions.
Bruce: yes, but it was more than that. Robin eats the same way Hood used to, cuts his food in the same order and has very similar aversions to specific tastes. he's also left-handed, just like Hood, and they have remarkably similar jawlines. i also noticed his sleep patterns were similar to that of Hoods, as well as his preferred methods of learning and absorbing information. skills, too, as they developed, were shared between them. Robin is adept at story-telling, using his dialect, and he prefers combat styles that utilize his upper body and arms rather than legs, like Nightwing. all of that is identical to Hood.
Dick, slightly confused: what were you fucking doing back then, scanning his brain activity and comparing their brainwaves at night?
Bruce: i am known to be a paranoid man, Nightwing. you know this.
Dick: yeah but what were you paranoid about?
Tim: *abrupt gasp* OH- *cackle*
Dick: what? what the fuck?
Tim: Wing, Wing- *wheeze* he thought Damian was Jason's son. he thought- B, you thought Day was your grandson, not your son?
Dick: ...wait- *slightly amused* seriously?
Bruce ...i had a few theories. that i... may have decided to confront Hood about.
Dick: *instant cackle* OH MY- fuck, B, please tell me you asked him that on patrol so Oracle has the recordings?
Tim: i cannot believe Jason hasn't brought this story up to make fun of you before.
Bruce, bitter: it was a logical assumption, at the time. i simply wondered if there was a closer connection between Robin and Red Hood that i wasn't being told.
Dick, still giggling: and what did Jason say?
Bruce: ...this is a pointless conversation, Damian is my son, i was wrong.
*connecting ping*
Jason: yooo, double-R, i'm like two seconds away from you; you ready to go?
Dick: YES, fuck you have perfect timing!
Jason: ...d'ya miss me that much? also Replacement turn around, i'm here.
Dick: always, but that's not the point. B was telling us the story of when he thought you were Damian's real dad and he won't tell us what happened when he 'confronted' you.
Jason: oh- HA. you mean- B are you telling them about when i said i fucked Talia?
Tim: *choke* *water spitting*
Bruce: ...well i was trying not to.
Tim: WHEN YOU SAID WHAT?
Dick: EXCUSE ME?!
Jason: no- *evil cackle* calm down, i was lying,
Dick: HUH?!?!
Jason: listen- listen, *wheeze* it was a bit of a rumour back at the league is all; some weirdos thought that Talia might have revived me to satisfy her more fleshly desires, rather than the obvious truth which is just that i was a better option for son than Damian. it was all bullshit, but it used to piss Talia right off, so i always thought it was real funny to flirt with her in front of the troops every now and then.
Tim, scandalised but amused: Jason?!
Jason, flat: hey, listen, it used to weed the perverts out of the ranks, ok? i got like six people killed just because they insinuated that they thought Talia should 'share' when i was like. sixteen. anyway it was a fucking funny rumour to me and Damian, so obviously when B came up to me in all his glory with a fucking presentation of all the listed traits Damian shared with me that could possibly be hereditary, i was like 'yeah, i need to do something here'.
Dick: *sudden giggles* so you told him you'd slept with Talia?
Jason: *laugh* yeah, complete bullshit though. he believed it for- you believed it for like a solid week, right?
Bruce: yes, well, you went through the effort of faking DNA tests; how was i supposed to tell it was a lie? i only figured it out in the first place because i called Talia to confront her about statutory rape and she called you to make you come clean. Nightwing, i'm at the docks, are you here?
Dick: turn around.
Bruce: ah, i see you.
Jason: *another cackle* aw, yeah man... *fondly* she was pissed. the fuck do you mean DNA though? i didn't do that.
Bruce: yes you did, i compared Robin's DNA to that of yours that we had on file, but you must have already hacked in and made it look like there was biological relation. i'm not surprised, you've always had a habit of using the batcomputer for your practical jokes.
*six seconds of silence*
Jason, blandly: ...oh yeah. i forgot about that. i did do that. ...anyway me and the Replacement have a case to do, so we'll talk to you later. Tim, switch lines?
Tim: ...yeah, bye guys.
*two pings*
Jason, instantly: on god i did not fuck with the DNA tests, Tim. on god.
Tim: *intense whisper* yeah no shit Jason you fucking froze the second he said it-!
Jason: how is that even possible, he's Bruce's fucking kid?!
Tim: I DON'T FUCKING KNOW?! we need to- we gotta get Damian back here to double-check,
Jason: dude i need to fucking call Ra's-
Tim: -cannot fucking believe we might be making this discovery because Damian made fun of me for breaking my fucking arm.
Jason: -like i know he did some body-experimentation type shit when Damian was little to help enhance him, he used to do some shit to me too- I didn't think he'd fucking swap us with each other?!?!?!
*a beat*
Jason: the fuck you mean 'broke your arm'? your arm's fine?
Tim: no- *sigh* we were talking about a couple months ago, when i was testing out a new grapple but forgot to change B's sensitivity and fell.
Jason: *snort* holy shit yeah, womp womp.
*a beat*
Tim: unbelievable.
defiance, personified
