Reminder that spring will always come back, music will never stop being created, and there are still so many books left to read! You’re alive! You’re alive! You’re alive!

I decided to try and beat the end in Minecraft for once but just my luck I ended up wandering the nether for hours and didn’t find even one blaze spawner.

On the bright side though I rehydrated a ghast and named it Mary for no reason

rent-lowering gunshots because my memesets and bop posting has welcomed a lot of new friends, but i just want to make sure we’re on the same page:

- i love jason todd.

- you should read jason’s robin stories. especially moench’s work.

- jason todd’s narrative does imply that he is a csa victim (bruce’s will recording in battle for the cowl, jason’s dialogue to mia in “seeing red”). it also explicitly includes him having deeply emotional reactions to sexual violence and violence against women (“dumpster slasher” and “diplomat’s son”).

- jason todd’s overarching narrative arc includes heavy themes of victimization and (institutional and interpersonal) violence. i have also read interesting metas about reader interpretations of jason’s stories as an allegory for an inadequate response to sexual assault.* due to all these factors, it is no wonder that readers who have been impacted by these real world themes identify with him.

- obviously jason todd is not the only character who contains these themes and events. please ask me about dinah lance and my various watsonian and doylist interpretations of the fallout of longbow hunters. but not here, because this is a jason todd post. and multiple characters can explore themes of victimhood. in multiple different ways. and you are doing a disservice to characters like mia and tara by saying “jason fans are making this up about him. read mia/tara instead” BECAUSE THESE ARE VASTLY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS AND STORIES WITH DIFFERENT CONTEXTS, EVEN IF THEY SHARE THEMES.

- you do not have to base your reader interpretation of jason as heavily on these themes as many of his fans do. but that does not mean these reader interpretations are unfounded. neither are yours.

- jason todd has been an antagonist who’s done fucked up shit. (it was really cool he should do it again.) he’s also been a hero and a lover and a major cunt and a sweetie pie. all of these things are true (often all at once) and that’s why i love him.

So if you split open a giant peach and there’s a magic baby inside that you are then forced to raise do you still eat the peach or would that be too awkward

jason is in a social experiment. imagine having a good solid argument but youre up against a borderline vigilante cult that literally cannot comprehend morals opposed to that of their leader and so their actions repeatedly end in your death and/or destruction before they remind you of their love for you. id kill myself

[ghostyblight]

Taking advantage of the release of the new Teen Titans, I'm letting out my love for Jason with this.

Fun fact: the pomegranate is a fruit commonly associated with death. :)
