@road-gremlin which is my main main account. I’m on that more often so if I don’t respond to something on here, it’ll probably be easier to get me on there. Basically most of these accounts r on my iPad but road gremlin and the og ravenger is on my phone and that’s what I’m on tumblr more often. Hope this helps 🙃👍
I think Jason should avenge the All-Caste. He should fight the Untitled with fire swords and bat guile. He should get epic shots with the all-blades crossed in front of his face and scintillating hallucinations of his dead loved ones. He should kneel in the snow in dramatic outfits like those “bleed out spot” videos. The Bats should not appear a single time and just be mentioned offhandedly except for a phone call with Steph where they talk about grief and vengeance and That Bitch Britney from Steph’s Nursing Course. He should be really edgy the entire rest of the comic. He should have the most theatric, corny, cliché lines ever. The kris dagger makes a surprise comeback in the climax.
“But I am the son of vengeance.”
“Perhaps this mission will be my undoing- but I am the only one left to bring justice to a great people.”
“I am the only human to ever master the ways of the All-Caste. But that’s how I know - I’m not quite human - anymore.”
“They were more than just teachers - they were the only family that never betrayed me.”
“Ducra prophesied it would be me who would be our undoing. So how is it I wasn’t even there?”
“I am the last of a great order of peacekeepers.”
“And Essence.”
“Well yeah, but Ducra kicked her out, so she doesn’t count. And I trapped her in her own sword for eternity”
“You trapped her in her W H A T”
“She was trying to suck me into it, okay?”
“What the fuck dude, weren’t you guys friends?”
“Exes.”
“Ah. Wait - you banged an immortal entity?”
“If I hadn’t left - if Essence had been allowed to stay - perhaps they would still be here.”
“Ducra saw All, but her arrogance hid her own weakness from her.”
“If this is how I die, at least it will be in the name of justice.”
“That is what the eternal battle between the All-Caste and the Untitled ensured! Balance! The equilibrium between good and evil! With the All-Caste gone, I have no choice but to eliminate the Untitled, too - or the world will fall to darkness.”
“Look who it is - Ducra’s human pet. Do you want to play the warrior, or do you just want to die?”
“I’ve been fighting your kind for a decade and still you don’t know - your arrogance blinds you. I wasn’t just Ducra’s grandson. I was her protégé!”
“Impossible!”
DC, hire me. I’ll write Red Hood: Last Man Standing. And Dexter Soy should do the art
It's June, motherfuckers, and you know what that means! Apart from firing a few rent-lowering shots to filter out the chuds from my following, it's probably also a good time to post a reminder that there are many strange ways to be queer, and this is one of them.
video transcript below the cut, may be slightly inaccurate, I tend to ad-lib when reading my scripts into voiceover
It's Pride Month, so if you'll forgive me I'm taking a two minute break from the One Piece, League of Legends, Marvel Rivals, Final Fantasy and Pokémon shorts to tell you… Sylveon is trans, Taliyah is trans, everyone on the Straw Hats is queer, there are no words to describe how queer superheroes are as a concept let alone how queer they all are individually, and here's a fun fact for you: Cloud Strife's story gets ten times better when you understand it as an allegory for a trans coming out experience.
As for me, well, I'm not trans, but I do occupy my own little space in the rainbow flags which looks like this. I am aromantic.
We are generally not as visible as many of our queer siblings, probably at least partly because it's kind of a difficult identity to even discover in yourself, you basically have to prove a negative.
But what is this thing, "aromantic"? Well… okay, let's say you're a straight guy, right. You know the way you feel romantically about other men? I feel exactly the same way, and then I also feel that way about women, and then also the same way about all of the other genders.
Now, aromantic often goes along with asexual, there's a lot of co-occurrence of the two, but not always, and that is my situation. Yes to sex, no to romance, which being a man, yes, I know, that just makes me the same as 90% of the men you match on Hinge. "Ha ha ha didn't realize "fuccboi" was an orientation now," I know. I get it. I understand. I have had all the same thoughts myself, especially when I was questioning.
Which is the difficulty with being aromantic, because in order to figure out that that's what you are, you have to prove a negative. I have never been in love, and I have no reason to think I ever will be… but what if someday I meet The One??? What if there's a special divinely designated perfect soulmate out there, just waiting for me, and one day our eyes will meet across the room and it will be love at first sight forever?
And like. I can't prove that won't happen, anymore than I can prove that there isn't a flowery pink teapot currently hiding somewhere in the orbit of Saturn. And frankly, if it did happen, I wouldn't be mad. Why would I be? I would have a soulmate! That's a pretty big W, I think.
But… I've had over thirty years to encounter someone—anyone—who can spark my romantic interest, and thus far, every challenger of every gender has failed. So either I am aromantic, or else you people have a skill issue.
Anyway, like anything to do with queerness, aromantic is a sprawling and diverse spectrum. You got your aroaces, aroallos, aroflux, arospikes, demiromantics, frayromantics, grayromantics, cupioromantics, there's a whole world of different experiences present under this umbrella. For me, though, just "aromantic" is fine. That's the broad label, that's the one I fall under, that's the identity I take pride in. Happy June!
No but seriously everyone needs to stop acting like Steph desperately searching for comfort on her death bed in the only way she could without humiliating herself/revealing their identities (despite how totally reckless Bruce and Tim were with hers) by asking if she was a good Robin was like this super sweet moment and proof that Robin wasn't even THAT bad for her and she was still happy to be Bruce's sidekick.
And people also need to stop acting like Steph being murdered because she believed Batman would look down on the only way she could save her own life and choosing not to kill because Bruce magically fixed the evil in her or something is some great heroic character development that made sense for her. Like maybe if she couldn't because she couldn't stand the thought of blood on her hands/being like Arthur/wants him to suffer a worse fate in a prison he can't get out of (false hope Batman will be useful in any permanent way) it would mean more. But she didn't. She does it for Bruce. What the fuck has Bruce done for her. Fuck Bruce he didn't deserve her final moments he didn't deserve her trust he didn't deserve her care or cooperation or attempts to earn his favor he didn't deserve to be the reason she let herself be murdered.
I do tend to work with the retcon of Ma Gunn being Willis's mom because I do think there's story potential but I think it could be improved upon if instead of being his actual bio mom he just ended up being one of the boys at the school. Many things to be done with this. The cycle of poverty and violence and the things we do in the name of our fathers (Jason probably unwittingly shutting down a place that hurt his dad and so many other kids like them so bad) and choosing love and kindness even when you are forced to do bad things/ultimately believe doing had things in necessary for a better future, ect. Ect.
Is it controversial to say that I think even if Jason Hadn't died he'd still be pro "kill all rapists and your abusers and the joker". Like at best he'd operate like Babs and just be cool with killing indirectly/working with people who kill but there is no Jason Todd who thinks killing is always 100% morally wrong every single time. That is a sign of distress in the wild.
Is Jason actually "pushing everyone away and refusing to get help and then complaining when he's alone and isn't being helped" or is no one actually offering help. Where is this help everyone is tripping over themselves to offer. Where are all the cases of Jason being welcomed with open-arms and him rejecting them for his pride or whatever. What comic. Where are they point me to them. Show me a comic that isn't an elseworld, alternate universe, or hallucination where they actually try to reform Jason and Jason immediately rejects them and doesn't even try to work with them.
bruce always wants to reform all the villains and rogues he encounters, he's the one person who always wants to give everyone a second chance! jason should know this smh smh
he should be bending over backwards and surrender himself to batman specifically so they'll be able to help him, but because he only bends over backwards to give assistance at his own expense whenever he's called by anyone from the batfam but never to beg for therapy it's obvious he doesn't want their help!!1!
It's always "Well this is what the bats would/should do if they weren't out of character" and it's like. Okay but they're not doing that. They didn't do that. What they actually did was not actually all that helpful to Jason and in several cases made his existing trauma or mental state worse. And if you ignore what they did to keep their innocence but keep Jason's reaction to it the same, you are victim blaming. You are making a victim look hysterical, untrustworthy, and over emotional.
"The bats agreed to let Jason work with them but he broke the truce!" And what happened before that? Could it be that after Bruce purposely retraumatized Jason with his murder for the possibility of getting Damian back under the guise of working together on a mission, Jason lost trust in Bruce and saw no reason to keep working within his rules because Bruce clearly showed a lack of care for Jason, his time, and their relationship?
"Dick reached out, he offered to help Jason! It's Jason's fault he was put in Arkham!" And what happened before Dick offered that help. Could it be that Dick giving Jason a tape in which Bruce weaponizes his childhood sexual assault against him to guilt him into working with the family made Jason understandably upset and distrustful of Dicks intentions and Dick putting him in a shitty Healthcare facility known for experimenting on patients that is also very associated with a major trigger for Jason cemented those feelings?
"He just betrayed the family again in Hush ll even after Dick and the other bats went out of their way to defend him from Bruce!" Right and then he literally committed suicide for them while still lobotomized (because despite popular belief that one dose of Joker venom was not a permanent cure) and they were all happy to move into their shiny new house with Bruce as a big happy family and Jason was nowhere in sight. Lol. Lmao, even. Family of the fucking year.
Broke: Jason wouldn’t feel any better with the Joker dead because he just wants revenge, and revenge is never worth it
Woke: Jason would feel way better with the Joker dead because the Joker is a ptsd trigger for him, and that would remove the trigger.
Bespoke: Jason would feel a little bit better with the Joker dead, but at this point, it wouldn’t help as much because he’s no longer the person who’s hurt Jason the most — Bruce is.
And I hope everyone whose ever written a Jason Comes Back Early fic or whatever that devolves into Tim packing his little rucksack and leaving gets pneumonia. And if you've ever written a Jason Never Died au where Tim is still there for some reason making everything about the problems he literally doesn't have? The Gulag waits for you.
