Do you have a favorite batman villain?

if we’re talking more gray-area ones that aren’t always completely characterized as villains, then Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Poison Ivy. but full on villains, i love Hush and Two-Face. Bane and Lady Shiva are pretty cool too.

i also Really like Snyder’s take on the Riddler during his run

season 1 Asami showing off nonstop and desperately needing Korra to like her is valid and season 1 Korra just getting angry for no reason whatsoever every time she sees Asami is also valid

the best possible outfit will always be one of those puffy white shirts with those lace up thigh high leather boots because you’ll either look like a gay vampire, a pirate, the protagonist in an extremely homoerotic period drama set in 19th century england, or like you’re about to blow up parliament. you simply cannot lose.

been seeing a lot of takes around the web about akito's influence on the sohmas and how unrealistic it is for them to not fight back. curse or not, i thought it was fairly obvious that akito is an abuser backed by generations of tradition who has no qualms about gaslighting and manipulating people, most of whom are vulnerable kids. but go off i guess.

oh, to be an assassin’s creed character. a noble quest in my heart and the parkour skills of a god at my disposal

I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.

What do you like so much about bat family stories?

i like Gotham as an entire concept, and the different batfamily’s reasons for being there, i find the most inspiring.

like, Bruce is a flawed character. he’s arrogant, often short-minded, and he’s emotionally stunted due to his trauma. he honestly has no reason to stay in Gotham and has all the means to move out to a city like Metropolis, where although there is evil, it’s not Gotham. Gotham is a reminder of everything painful in his life, and the mythos makes it a point to show just how terrible a place it can be. Gotham is literally created to be one of the most terrible places in the DC world that a lot of different heroes see no hope or value in. but Bruce (and by extension the batfamily) stays because he sees the good in it and its potential in the everyday people who live there. all of the robins/batgirls are Gothamites who come from different areas/walks of life but dedicate their lives to helping the people of Gotham. like...the whole principle of the Bat is to show that even a place as corrupt as Gotham deserves heroes and protection and inspiration to strives towards, too. because its people are good, and they are being exploited from all sides.

and on top of that, i love the Batfam bc they’re all kind of broken and flawed in their own way but want and always try to be better. like i like Superman and Wonder Woman, dont get me wrong. they’re definitely inspiring bc they’re so heroic. but Bruce and the Batfamily are very human to me. they make mistakes and hurt each other. they don’t feel like an unrealistic ideal of heroism to me as sometimes Clark and Diana can. Bruce’s relationship with each of his adopted kids is complicated and often strained bc he’s a man with deepset flaws, who has never addressed his trauma in a healthy way, and i appreciate him more because of it.

idk i guess to me, the Batfam is one of the best examples of a group of imperfect fuckups who still try to help others at the end of the day and i love them for it

I’m a sucker for stories that are like “the world is cruel but love is real and we must love each other to survive”. I eat that right up

So if the new CR artbook’s notes are accurate: 1) the Cobalt Soul has taken to search for Jester’s graffitis as a way to track down the Nein’s travels 2) Beau’s been aware of Jester’s underlying sadness since at least episode 8.

I’ve been thinking about doing little v6 bees comics for like a month now but haven’t really had a moment

But anyway probably be more because there’s a lot of little scenes I like to imagine happened in v6
