There’s A Certain Number Of “bad Writers” After Which You Just Have To Accept That Yeahh That Character

‘isolation’ by joy division is very martin blackwood

for some reason dick & jason's relationship is often written as if jason was supposed to know plenty about dick even before they met for the first time, but in canon he knew close to nothing other than the fact that he was the previous robin (or rather, not even that, but i sort of refuse to believe that the topic did not come up even *once,* no matter how much bruce would like to avoid it). hence, i think upon hearing that dick used to be in a circus, jay should (completely seriously) ask him if he was a clown

so the diomedes server told me to post this... im not sorry

oh and this is in context of Jorge mentioning Diomedes in his potential Trojan War musical themes

Not Bruce standing in Dick's room because he's lonely

happy 46 years since the release of Unknown Pleasures!!

this is pure evil

i know starlin is seen as the main post-crisis jaybin writer but jason writers PLEASE read collins

“not all men” you’re right, Horatio would never

this initially might seem weird if you haven’t read the play but the magnus archives is very comparable to sophocles’ oedipus the king.

jon is obviously oedipus, the detective of the horrific happenings and unaware he is the true victim and cause of suffering. both become cruel and even tyrannical in their paranoia that they’re being plotted against but the audience mostly feels pity. they both find out that they’re being controlled by higher powers and fates, manipulating them all along for their own purpose, which they might have escaped once but played into due to their ignorance. the major themes in common can be seen as sight/knowledge, especially obvious as they learn about themselves and are heavily associated with eyes. the theban plague is the apocalypse and both can be reversed with the downfall of the protagonist.

lost days jason being picked up by the scruff of his neck after batman accidentally catches him planting the bomb on the batmobile. jason immediately goes to attack but because he’s not trained to kill as well as he is later on he’s disarmed quite easily. jason looking so young, not having killed anyone yet, and not being in control of the situation through careful planning meaning bruce is more likely to accept him but jason’s emotions are completely raw to where his actions are just fully calculated fury and hurt. also this is before wargames and stephanie’s death so that would make bruce have less emotionally vulnerable because his lack of fresh grief and guilt.
