More Beautiful After Being Broken

[fluffmugger]

What this trite imagery misses out on is the fact that kintsukuroi requires a lot of work to repair a piece like that.  It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort, a great deal of investment.  Sometimes parts of the original are damaged beyond repair, and you have to instead painstakingly create entirely new ones.   It’s still not the same.  Maybe it’s something more beautiful. But it’s not the fact that it broke that makes it beautiful. It’s the work put into it.  It’s the fact that people made the effort to salvage it, because it was worth salvaging, because it was important enough to salvage.      It’s the care that makes the beauty.   An apology can’t always fix what has been broken.  That doesn’t mean it’s not irreparable, sometimes you can go on to rebuild and repair.  But it won’t ever be the same as it was again.   

[contranym-xendo]

I really appreciate this addition because I’ve always hated the “more beautiful for having been broken” thing. Being broken sucks and I hate all those tragic romantic sensitivities that try to make it what it’s not. These pieces are beautiful because they’re repaired with effort put in to making them shine.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

That bowl is NOT more beautiful for having been broken. It’s more beautiful for having been very skillfully repaired.

This raccoon never left the side of a cat who was dying of a tumor. The cat was comforted for the final hours of her life by her long time friend.

abusive parent voice: its always in your best interest

[foremost-of-noble-ladies]

When I worked daycare, I would run into this all the time. “But I didn’t mean it” is the response of a four year old. And when my four year olds would say that, I would remind them “But X still has a boo-boo (or feels sad, etc). When we make someone feel that way, even by accident, it’s important to say we’re sorry, and then be more careful so we don’t do it again.”

And it’s amazing how four year olds can understand that lesson, but some so-called grown people can’t.

[grrrtay]

I too work at a school and I can confirm. I work with 1-5 grade and say someone kicks a ball and it hits the other person, before the students would just say “well I didn’t mean to”. But I explained to them that just because we don’t mean to do something, our actions still have consequences- and that they hurt someone. Whether on purpose or not, you should apologize. Now whenever someone gets hurt the person who did it will apologize on the spot and I’m so proud of them 👍🏻 on a side not I hate when people try to say whether or not they hurt you. Like they say something mean, and they’re like “it wasn’t that bad, it was an accident, etc” and it’s like, I’m the one who gets to decide if you hurt me or not, not you.

Harley & Ivy

[spoonie-sone-deactivated2016101]

This is why I love them!

[kamdjdndknsssnsshs-deactivated2]

Harley is an abuse survivor of course she’d wreck this dude!!!

[wetwareproblem]

Can I just say how much I love the implications here? Harley and Ivy are known public figures. People know who they are, and recognize them. And this kid knows that, despite being violent criminals, they’re safe enough to go to for protection. Ivy is dead certain that the Batfamily will be okay with them intervening to protect a kid. That has some intersting implications - either she knows damn well where the lines lie and that this is overriding enough to get her a pass, or (more likely, given the first bit) this has come up before.

[seelcudoom]

one of my favorite tropes is villains acting heroically not because the other villain is a threat to them or because it benefits them, but because they have standards

[malicemismanager]

^^^ That’s the good shit right there

[real-jaune-isms]

Always reblog protector Harley and Ivy

[positively--speculative]

I think this illustrates that there is sometimes a separation between the types of villains. There are some villains who have little to no redeeming qualities like Joker and then you have what’s shown in this panel. Two of the most infamous villains with the mindset of, “Wait a minute! No, you don’t hurt children! They’re off limits!”

[cenobitic-anchorite]

This (official) story is in the anthology series Batman: Black and White. Fourth volume of the series, third issue, printed 2013. Written by Paul Dini himself and drawn by Stephane Roux.

and it has an even happier ending!

[positively--speculative]

I love this????

Thanks for adding the ending!

[valtharr]

fuck, now I’m crying

[writing-prompt-s]

You’re a regular office worker born with the ability to “see” how dangerous a person is with a number scale of 1-10 above their heads. A toddler would be a 1, while a skilled soldier with a firearm may score a 7. Today, you notice the reserved new guy at the office measures a 10.

[captain-acab]

You decide it’s best to find out what you can about this person. Cautiously, you approach his desk. He’s a handsome man, tall, but with a disarming smile. How could such a friendly guy with such cute, dorky glasses be dangerous?

You extend your hand. “I noticed you’re new here. What’s your name?”

He shakes your hand warmly. His gaze is piercing, as if he’s looking right through you. “The name’s Clark,” he says. “So, how long have you worked for the Daily Planet?”

[misscrazyfangirl321]

This one wins.

[janothar]

It’s been a few weeks, and one of Clark’s friends shows up.  She’s pretty and all, enough muscle that she must work out.  First thought would be that she should be maybe a 6.

Clark’s introducing her around.  “This is my good friend, Diana, she’s in from out of town.”

You blink, and take a step back in fear.  You’ve never seen an 11 before.

[aniseandspearmint]

The day Bruce Wayne shows up for his long promised interview with Lois Lane, you can’t help it, the mug your holding drops from your fingers and sends a shock of hot coffee and ceramic shards across the floor.

Clark stops a few feet away and squints at you worriedly from behind those ridiculous glasses you’re 99% sure he doesn’t actually need, and asks tentatively, “Everything all right?”

You ignore him in favor of staring at the inky dark numerals hovering over the beaming fool gesticulating some fantastic yacht story for a gaggle of secretaries and minor columnists.

That’s it. Your gift has officially gone haywire. There is no other explanation. Because there is absolutely no way that Brucie Wayne is a 10.

[petitstar]

At this point, you’ve seen it all. Miled manner reporters and billionaires at a 10 and a model-like woman at 11. You were really starting to doubt your power. The day you really stopped believeing in it was when Bruce Wayne came for another visit, and this time with a kid. The kid couldn’t be more than 10 years old, a bit on the short side.

He was an 8.

[lainathewitch]

The day you started believing in it again was when you saw on tv the formation of something called the justice league.

There were those same numbers over superman, batman, wonder woman and robin. That’s when you put two and two together. You wonder how nobody at the daily planet noticed that Clarke was Superman with glasses. You wonder why you didn’t notice. You wonder why nobody put two and two together that Diana Prince and Wonder Woman looked exactly the same. You look in the mirror as the realization hit you and you see your own number change from a 3 to a 9.

[ribbonsflyingoutthewindow]

I don’t think I’ve ever actually reblogged this magnificent post and that’s shame.

[bramblethekobold]

You swallow the butterflies rising from your stomach and walk up to Clark the next morning at work.

“Hey, Mr. Kent, I’m trying to get to know people around the office a little better. Would you like to do lunch?” you say.

He smiles. His smile is always genuine. “Maybe tomorrow? I’m really busy today - deadlines, you know how it is.”

You slide a folded piece of paper to him, “Mr. Kent, I really think we should have lunch.”

He looks at the paper. He doesn’t unfold it, but the look that passes across his eyes tells you that he’s read it. Your notes from the Justice League press conference - every secret identity you could piece together.

He looks at you again. He’s not angry. Oh, how much easier this would be if he was angry. He’s concerned. His expression asks, Are you safe?

“Yeah, we can have lunch,” he says. “I think you’re right.”

Over burritos on the roof, you spill your guts to him - your power, how he realized who he was, who Diana Prince was, that Bruce Fucking Wayne is The Fucking Batman.

And how your number changed when you realized that.

He takes it all in, gets out his cell phone, and makes a call. “Hey, Barbara. Are you free tonight?” he puts his hand over the mouthpiece and mouths to you Are you free? 

You nod. You’re not telling Superman no.

“I have someone here who might be able to help you out with that project of yours.”

That night, you’re in Barbara Gordon’s apartment. Clark is there. Bruce Wayne is being menacing in a corner - you’re starting to feel like he’s really Batman, and Bruce is just an act. 

Diana - fucking Wonder Woman - made everyone tea, “Okay, Oracle, let’s get started.”

Barbara - Oracle - wheels her chair around and pulls up an image. You recognize the Penguin immediately.

“What’s his number?” she asks.”

“Six,” you say.

Another keystroke. The Riddler. “Him?”

“Four?” you say, “That doesn’t seem right?”

“He’s on the straight and narrow right now,” Batman says.

Barbara shrugs as a picture of the Joker comes on her monitor. She looks at you expectantly.

“Eight, nine…twelve? Two. It keeps changing.”

“Dammit,” says Batman.

You keep going through the entire rogue’s gallery. Everyone gets a number. You’re to come back weekly to update the numbers.

As you get ready to leave, Clark claps you on the shoulder, “Good job, kid. By the way, what’s your number now?”

You glance in the mirror. “Oh, I’m a ten now. That’s not good. I’m not actually dangerous.”

He laughs, “Don’t worry. We’ve got your back.”
