Toni Morrison’s Love x The Bear

This has to be my favourite edit I’ve done so far.

A gift to the fandom, especially those that wanted a consummation on screen in S5. Morrison’s words (in her honeyed, husky voice 😭❤️) gave me solace because they explained so clearly to me that what we got, was so much more.

🎶: Wood by Duval Timothy, Yu Su

The excerpt from Love read by Morrison in the clip is below:

Young people, Lord.

Do they still call it infatuation?

That magic axe that chops away the world in one blow, leaving only the couple standing there trembling?

Whatever they call it, it leaps over anything, takes the biggest chair, the largest slice, rules the ground wherever it walks, from a mansion to a swamp, and its selfishness is its beauty.

Before I was reduced to singsong, I saw all kinds of mating. Most are two-night stands trying to last a season. Some, the riptide ones, claim exclusive right to the real name, even though everybody drowns in its wake. People with no imagination feed it with sex—the clown of love.

They don’t know the real kinds, the better kinds, where losses are cut and everybody benefits. It takes a certain intelligence to love like that—softly, without props.

But the world is such a showpiece, maybe that’s why folks try to outdo it, put everything they feel onstage just to prove they can think up things too: handsome scary things like fights to the death, adultery, setting sheets afire. They fail, of course.

The world outdoes them every time.

While they are busy showing off, digging other people’s graves, hanging themselves on a cross, running wild in the streets, cherries are quietly turning from greed to red, oysters are suffering pearls, and children are catching rain in their mouths expecting the drops to be cold but they’re not; they are warm and smell like pineapple before they get heavier and heavier, so heavy and fast they can’t be caught one at a time.

Poor swimmers head for shore while strong ones wait for lightning’s silver veins. Bottle-green clouds sweep in, pushing the rain inland where palm trees pretend to be shocked by the wind.

Women scatter shielding their hair and men bend low holding the women’s shoulders against their chests.

I run too, finally. I say finally because I do like a good storm.

Lady Shiva

The master combatant and assassin known as Lady Shiva possesses a complicated backstory that has been altered and ret-conned on numerous occasions. In most of these tales, Shiva is a near peerless hand-to-hand fighter who rose up from humble backgrounds to become a hugely powerful and influential figure.

In one telling, Lady Shiva was born Sandra Wu-San and grew up with her sister in an undisclosed region of Asia. A supremely gifted hand-to-hand fighter. Sandra ended up a pupil of the martial arts pedagogue, O-Sensei. She trained alongside fellow students Richard Dragon and Ben Turner and quickly distinguished herself as the sensei’s most talented student and a martial artist of the highest order.

Sandra grew all but addicted to the thrill and danger of combat and it ultimately led her astray. She left O-Sensei’s dojo and ventured off to become a mercenary, ultimately end up in the employ of for The League of Assassins.

Somewhere around this time, Sandra met David Cain, an assassin and martial artist whose skill rivaled her own. A truly deplorable cad, Cain used trickery to take advantage of Sandra. Cain was obsessed with producing a progeny who could act as the primary bodyguard and protector for Ra's al Ghul and a first lieutenant of the League off Assassins. Cain believed that a child produced by himself and Sandra would prove an ideal candidate for this role. Through coercion, Cain essentially raped Sandra, resulting in her becoming pregnant. He then absconded with the daughter. The child would eventually grown up to be Cassandra Cain, the heroine who has operated under the aliases of Batgirl, The Orphan and The Black Bat.

Cain’s deplorable actions severely impacted Sandra, resulting in her giving in to the more ruthless and bloodthirsty side of herself. Becoming an assassin, she took on the name of ‘Lady Shiva’ and traveled to America where she had confrontations with numerous heroes, including The Question, Batman and others.

Some time thereafter, Lady Shiva aided Batman in recovering his fighting skills after his back was broken in a confrontation with Bane. She additionally shared adventures alongside Green Arrow, Black Canary, Catwoman and Robin. She eventually learned the identity of her lost daughter Cassandra and aided in the young woman’s training, ultimately revealing herself as Cassandra’s mother. Some time later, it was also revealed that Shiva had a son with Ben Turner and that the lad grew up to become the individual known as The Jade Tiger. Around this same time, Lady Shiva succeeded in usurping Ra's al Ghul's as the leader of the League of Assassins.

Actress Sung-Hi Lee portrayed a live-action version of Lady Shiva in the Birds of Prey television series. The character has additionally featured in multiple animated projects, voiced by actresses Gwendoline Yeo, Kelly Hu, Finola Hughes, Rachael MacFarlane and Panta Mosleh. Lady Shiva first appeared in the pages of Richard Dragon: Kung Fu Fighter #5 (1975).

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

Titans 2x11 Thoughts:

ep title is … “E.L._.O.” why does it look like an old fashioned emoticon you’d type on a flip phone like what the hell could that mean

AWFUL THEY’RE CUTTING INTO GAR’S BRAIN WHAT THE FUCK

i wan Gar to unlock his full potential too but not at that cost dear god i hate that

and Dick’s mumbling nonsense in solitary confinement

Bruce hallucination popping up and Dick going “Oh, fuck.” couldn’t have said it better myself this is such a waste of time to have. all so Bruce can say Dick is sick (he’s coughing, i get it) and recap what he’s been doing (we quite literally watched it all happen)

oh ok so Jericho def possessed Slade as he was dying and has been living in his body ever since hence why his mother said “they” right? that’s what Bruce is about to make Dick realize? honestly i was gonna say in earlier eps is Jericho somehow still alive, even if it’s just his consciousness able to posses people? is he the one fucking with Rachel and making her go evil?

why is Rachel in a vision of Dick’s funeral that Dick himself is attending

is it Blackfire possessing Rachel? IS someone possessing Rachel?? or is it really just her going evil and full demon like what’s going on with her genuinely

the entirety of Rachel’s contacts being Dick, Jason, Kory, Donna, Hank, Dawn, Bruce, and a pizza place. she doesn’t even have Gar’s number hello

“Elko Diner” well title drop mention kinda

and Kory is just going to Tamaran

SIKE SHE’S IN A LAS VEGAS ARCADE SPACE SIMULATOR?? LMAO

“Somewhere in Wyoming” has gotta be the best location title of the show so far

Elko Joe from Elko’s Diner in Elko, Nevada. in case i didn’t pick up on that name the first mention

Dawn tossing Hank’s belongings away giiiirl

well she went back for the group photo that includes Garth at least

Rachel is getting a tarot card reading from this still unnamed new friend she’s made whose brother(?) she killed via gargoyle

oh it was their dad

“It wasn’t me.” such a normal thing to say when your friend’s dad is said to just have been attacked to death. also, yes it was

this ticket agent doing a crossword and going “Four letter word, Pony Express stop in Nevada.” gee i really do wonder, could it be Elko?

Kory getting it on with this random guy in a Vegas hotel while everything else is happening. i really don’t know what they’re doing with her arc this season it’s all over the place without ever picking up and she’s never with the others

this guy is a psychiatrist diagnosing as her as they’re hooking up and offering her therapy. i mean out of all the ways to strike out

and she’s taking him up on it that is even crazier

so Jericho’s spirit is the thing that’s been haunting them the whole season and is now leading them all to Elko’s Diner to confront/attack them i bet. or it’s Rachel communicating to them to get everyone there. or it’s Jericho using Rachel to communicate. it’s definitely something

Dick yelling “Fuck off!” at Bruce hallucination. BRO I WISH HE WOULD

just went “Yeuck” aloud at the cut to Rose and Jason in bathing suits wherever this is

ew they’re just fully together. and they’re a crimefighting duo

he’s taking selfies of them

“So what, we’re not a couple?” i’m fucking laughing. Jason being like what are we 👉🏻👈🏻

they’re in Gotham

“Fuck Wayne Manor, Rose. That was never the real me anyway.” I JUST LAUGHED SO HARD WHY IS HE SO DRAMATICALLY EMO

“Then show me the real. No bullshit. No filters. The real Jason Todd.” the real Jason Todd would shoot this Jason on sight if given the chance. i would love to see him too but no, this Jason is all we get

aw Kory wanting jelly donuts cause earlier in the season her and Donna had their lil convo about them

the convergence of the team at Elko’s Diner has begun

oh they’re all arriving at the exact same second

jesus christ. actual Bruce summoned them. HOW?? there’s no way. someone has to be posing as him it’s gotta be some mystical shit

this weird ass dynamic of old Bruce giving an emotional pep talk to Donna, Kory, Dawn, and Rachel in an empty diner telling them they have to come back together as a team

and that’s it? that’s all he came to say?? how did he even manipulate all those seemingly supernatural instances to get them there?

“So, let me get this straight. Bruce Wayne somehow miraculously arranged for all of us to meet in this diner in the middle of nowhere to mansplain us into putting the Titans back together?” I MEAN THEY’RE SELF-AWARE ABOUT HOW DUMB IT IS I GUESS

like why are electronics turning on by themselves? no one is questioning this? i don’t think Bruce is capable of magically turning tvs on at the perfect moment

DONNA WOULD NOT FUCKING SAY THIS OH MY GOD. SHE WOULD NOT BE LIKE OH DICK’S IN PRISON? THAT’S HIS FAULT HE CAN DEAL WITH IT HIMSELF. AND LEAVE.

AND DAWN TOO?? Y’ALL FUCKING SUCK AS FRIENDS AND TEAMMATES FR

is Donna not gonna question why/mention Rachel restrained her with goop or, i don’t know, KILLED A MAN??

this is actively pissing me off. Donna and Dawn being like oh sorry Rachel i get you’re a sixteen year old kid we vowed to protect who is having demonic visions of Dick being murdered and you want to help him but nah we are gonna leave bc we are mad at the guy so you’re on your own bye

“So I guess you’re leaving too?” “Hell no. Let’s go.” KORY DUB IKTR THANK YOU FOR BEING REASONABLE

a bird. a bird has appeared in the ray of light in the prison window during Dick’s moment of despair and need. wonder if that will come back to be something symbolic for him in the future!

Jason used to live in the high school theater

them trying to make this Jason be a theater nerd. DC always wants to have elements of Jason Todd without ever committing to his actual character. i can’t stand them

am i meant to care about this Jason and Rose relationship drama i don’t even buy that they actually like each other

“Every second I spend with you is like a new lease on life.” I JUST SNORTED

THIS IS KILLING ME (DEROGATORY)

HE’S QUOTING WEST SIDE STORY TO HER IN A BIG EMOTIONAL MOMENT OH MY GOD THEY’RE SAYING IT TOGETHER THIS IS SO CRINGY PLEASE MAKE IT STOP

“Maybe there’s something inside Slade that you need.” sooo Jericho possessing him for sure

now Dick is physically fighting his hallucination of Bruce

are they on the auditorium stage where Jason used to live what is this. the stylistic symbolic set doesn’t work when i don’t know what’s meant to be going on besides bad choreography

“Not Robin anymore. Stronger. Faster. Like a bird of prey.” IF ALL OF THIS NONSENSICAL BULLSHIT IS JUST TO LEAD DICK TO FINALLY BECOMING NIGHTWING I STG. HE SHOULD BE HAVING THESE REVELATIONS WITHOUT A BRUCE HALLUCINATION SEQUENCE.

DICK’S REWATCHING THE MEMORY OF TALKING TO SLADE AND IT’S NOW SHOWING SLADE DOING SIGN LANGUAGE YUPPPP

and Dick’s shadow has formed a large bird on the cell floor

Jason’s phone background being the selfie with Rose

Rose deleting the text from Donna on his phone is crazy work

so Rose was in on it with Slade/Jericho the whole time wow crazy. actually the fact she’s now turning good bc Jason seemingly won her over IS crazy

RACHEL IS GOOPING ALL THE PRISON GUARDS. HER AND KORY ARE BREAKING DICK OUT

Kory just blew that door in so violently like what if Dick was standing right near it and it fell on him

and he already escaped and left the message of Jericho being alive. classic

why must anything bad ever happen to Gar :(

Gar should realize this isn’t real life because he’s not wearing green

they’re triggering his shifting with violin music?? and making him violent??

that was…honestly such a waste of an episode. all the weird seemingly supernatural instances that led to the meetup at the diner being passed off as Bruce’s doing made no sense. he gave Rachel a psychic vision of the place? or made the crossword clue be Elko? and turned Dawn’s radio and Kory’s tv on to the commercial? he made Rachel’s voice come through Donna’s phone and Dawn’s car? obviously no he didn’t so how am i meant to believe it was him gathering them there??

also i’m still really confused on what everything with Rachel is meant to be. why did she run away from Donna, meet a new friend, and kill that guy just to go back to the others and not mention it or have anyone bring it up? her evil stuff is simultaneously being emphasized and ignored which makes no sense

i can’t even get into the pointlessness of the Dick prison stint arc. i’ll save it for my overall season review post but man how dumb that whole thing was

hate to be a hater but the show is getting difficult to watch right now :/ up until now there was enough of enjoyable/interesting aspects to overshadow the bad but i feel like it’s now become consistently confusing or nonsensical without genuine progress forward. and everyone is becoming unlikeable. hoping it’s just a bad run of eps that unfortunately were in a row and things improve but i’m not confident
