i feel genuinely fucking gutted every time i remember that wylan hendriks is a mercher
it will never sit right with me.
this week has been the longest year of my fucking life
and the week isn't even over yet
Every time someone calls Superboy Kon instead of Conner a baby smiles
Duke should be allowed to be angry.
I'm not talking about having a temper or snapping sometimes, I'm talking an actual, genuine crash out.
Like when Kate talked to him as if he didn't know just how evil cops could be.
When Damian called him a coward for telling him friends to comply with the cops so that they wouldn't be killed.
When Dick sold him and his friends out to the notoriously corrupt GCPD knowing full well the danger Duke would be in as a Black boy.
How Bruce never actually put his kids in line for their tone deaf behaviour, like sure he loves Duke, but he doesn't really understand what he deals with nor does he make an effort to do so.
And Alfred...anyone who's read WAR knows I don't need to say more than that.
Duke should get angry. He should crash out. He should openly hold a grudge and make them work for forgiveness.
rip wylan hendriks, you would've loved the family jewels by MARINA
right, so ive obviously seen SOC hadestown au's with wylan and jesper bc of jack wolfe playing orpheus
but we're all in agreement that kaz and inej are actually orpheus and eurydice, right? right??
ive seen people mention nina and matthias, which i absolutely agree with
upon further inspection, ive come to the conclusion that they do best suit orpheus and eurydice, granted that nina is orpheus and matthias is eurydice
and, after thinking a lot, i actually can lowkey see how wesper could be them as well, but exclusively jesper as orpheus and wylan as eurydice
regardless, nina and matthias fit best
and kanej could totally be hades and persephone
i mean, not even "could be"; they kind of literally are. my only hold up is that kaz is not sleazy like that and he isnt the same brand of shitty that hades is
i really need to keep track of my shit better bc why did i join an soc group from my comic account and didn't notice until a month later 🤦
did not mean to do that; i try to keep ts separate for my own sanity and personal wellbeing
ik the dregs edition books are very controversial here
(and if im being honest, my opinion on them is definitely unpopular. im not going to change your mind, dont even want to, and you arent going to change mine, so let's not talk about it please 😁)
but i haven't seen anyone talking about the art prints
specifically, the backs of them...
even more specifically, the back of wylan's...
did leigh say why all of the prints have gold writing on the back except for wylan's?
why is the writing on wylan's black??
why is it black???
why??
why black?
watch this be smth so inconsequential and stupid. a full on nonissue and im over here tweaking like it actually matters.
the prints in question
@investmentofmyheart
wait guys hear me out, he's a merch now.
and what color do merchants wear?
black.
clearly he isnt going to die; obviously his just has black lettering because he's on the merchant council.
false alarm guys, nothing to see here.
im being sarcastic fyi
unless im right, then im not
but i also really dont think this theory is right
just trying to lighten the mood
most likely he's going to die by poisoning
or perhaps leigh just really wants everyone to know that he's dyslexic
or or or maybe he's going to find an antidote to a poison and that's a spoiler, so she made it difficult to read so less people know about it
(unlikely, about as likely as it being mercher black)

Holy shit…that does feel scarily like “Wylan is next.”
Also Inej. So hot. My girl. The composition.
But yeah rip Wylan Van Eck what the hell…
Alternative theory: What if it's about his dyslexia?
Hear me out. Wylan the character with dyslexia so severe that he is completely illiterate. The character who spent the years with a father who tried to abuse the disability out of him.
Wylan's quote is about situations without a quick fix. And his quote requires the read to work hard to read it.
totally possible, that crossed my mind too! hopefully that's it, otherwise it sounds like they're poisoning him 😭

rewatched next to normal and i cried through:
you don't know
i am the one
i dreamed a dance
there's a world
i've been
song of forgetting
hey #1
hey #2
you don't know (reprise)
how could i ever forget
it's gonna be good (reprise)
why stay/a promise
i'm alive (reprise)
make up your mind/catch me i'm falling (reprise)
maybe (next to normal)
hey #3/perfect for you (reprise)
and, i am the one (reprise)
(which is genuinely bizarre for me bc i dont often cry as a result of any piece of media and if i do, i cannot get myself to replicate that, let alone cry more the second time than the first. i've tried to rewatch things that made me cry bc crying is cathartic or w/e, but i quite literally can't reproduce my original reaction)
i gave myself a massive headache and my throat hurts but love next to normal though, it's great 😁
kinda want my mom to watch it but i'm not going to do that to her. especially bc it would upset her so, so much more than it does me
(i had a little brother who died at 3 months and there was some mishandling of the situation on the doctor's/nurse's end, similar to the goodman's experience with gabe, and he never made it home from the hospital. my dad just bottles shit up and throws himself into work so that he doesn't have to think about it, somewhat like mike. and my mom's told me that she felt largely alone in her grieving and going through that alone made her spiral, not in the same way diana did but she did have to be medicated. tldr, i will not be recommending n2n to my mom)
my therapist is going to be hearing about next to normal.
she did in fact hear abt it btw
and i did not cry telling her
but only bc i talked through ts real fast and changed topics v quickly 😁
right, so ive obviously seen SOC hadestown au's with wylan and jesper bc of jack wolfe playing orpheus
but we're all in agreement that kaz and inej are actually orpheus and eurydice, right? right??
i need you to know that im currently rereading CK and this came to me after reading kaz's response to inej having asked if he wouldve still come for her even if van eck broke her legs:
"i would come for you. And if i couldn't walk, i'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together—knives drawn, pistols blazing. because that's what we do. we never stop fighting."
that and the fact that in kaz having looked at inej on vellegluk, he doomed her, similarly to how orpheus did eurydice. both kaz and orpheus looked to inej and eurydice respectively out of concern and love, and in doing that they lost them—albeit kaz only temporarily. and eurydice died as a result of orpheus' carelessness which was brought on by his immersion in achieving his goal of finishing his song. kaz was so intently focused on the money and riding the high of having gotten one over on van eck that the involvement of the squallers caught him off guard; he recklessly glanced at inej and in doing so made her a target
it's almost like orpheus was so greatly immersed in his goals that he didn't think to look for eurydice when he should have; and kaz was so greatly immersed in his own goals that he thought and allowed himself to look at inej when he shouldnt have
right, so ive obviously seen SOC hadestown au's with wylan and jesper bc of jack wolfe playing orpheus
but we're all in agreement that kaz and inej are actually orpheus and eurydice, right? right??
SORRY for being crazy (but also not) but i love how eurydice being portrayed by a black actress gives a completely new layer to chant reprise (Hang a chain around her throat / Made of many karat gold / Shackle her from wrist to wrist… Bind her…) in playing opposite to a white orpheus, who is being told by the white capitalist hades… the layering of both misogyny and racism. of owning another person so completely. the misogynoir on complete display. the way jack wolfe plays orpheus as wholly disgusted at hades’ words. it’s the prison industrial complex. it’s the music and language already directly influenced by african american culture; the vernacular, the jazz, swing, working class people living under the thumb of a white person who gets rich off their labour. the environmental racism. euridicye can’t remember the last time she saw a flower. hades is destroying her home, polluting the air, digging up the earth until he literally buries her inside of it.
don’t get me started on persephone also being black. that’s a whole other thing i could go into.
