honestly how funny would Batman comics involving Resurrected!Jason have been if they had actually acknowledged all the ridiculous and stupid things that happened after he died.
like imagine it going the exact same way with Jason coming back from the dead and going on a rampage but instead it ended up like:
Jason: WHY DIDN’T YOU KILL THE JOKER AFTER HE KILLED ME??? THIS IS PROOF YOU NEVER LOVED ME REALLY I KNEW IT>:(
Bruce: oh no I totally tried to kill the Joker in revenge for your death, he was just involved with Iran for some reason at the time so it was weird
Jason: Involved with…Iran.
Bruce: yeah idk why it was odd and pretty racist. Anyway I DID eventually go after him but then Superman showed up and stopped me even though he didn’t have any real stake in any of it?
Jason: huh well okay. I can’t be mad at Superman.
Bruce: what you can’t? But you can be mad at ME?
Jason: Yeah it’s a proud Robin tradition. anyway finish your story what happened next.
Bruce: Okay, well it looked like l’d indirectly killed the Joker despite all that, so I felt vaguely content for a while? but then he just came back again so it was clear to me this was all pointless and he would never stay dead even if I did kill him? I mean does anyone in this weird world of ours? Look at you.
Jason: okay I guess I’m not upset about that anymore then but why did you then immediately make another kid Robin, pretty hurtful..
Bruce: no see this boy literally stalked me and I was all “leave me alone kid I’m going on a suicidal rampage now” so he just made himself Robin and made this big speech about how Robin is important to my mythos and also my mental health…
Jason:nice this kid sounds like a nerd I wanna meet him now so i can noogie him and shove him into a locker.
Bruce: I’m going to assume you mean that affectionately and congratulate myself on diffusing this situation. Great parenting, me.
Joker, still tied up: so i guess everyone’s forgotten I’m here? that’s fine
This whole scenario is so funny to me– Like imagine getting outted by yourself from the future. 🤣💥💪💘
BASED ON THIS AMAZING TWEET
My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.

We have been asked to strike during these days by the lovely & hardworking journalist Bisan from Gaza. Let's all try our best for a people being tested with the harshest conditions imaginable. The occupation must be held accountable.
We're in this together!!
Every single time I see a take that amounts to "if you write about X happening, or like fiction where X happens, you like X" I'm reminded of this one time I was at a casual friends house as a young kid. We were in her room, pretending to "be orphans" escaping from an evil orphanage and having to take care of each other and fend for ourselves. It was all very Little Orphan Annie/All Dogs Go to Heaven and based on the 80s pop media.
And this girl's mom comes in, hears what we're playing and gets all MAD and UPSET. She says that if we play act something, it's because we want it to happen. So her daughter must WANT HER TO DIE.
First off lady, we were 6 year year olds, so take it down several notches. We barely had a concept of mortality for fucks sake. She made us feel so guilty and ashamed, because she was taking our game personally.
Now I have a 5 year old. And sometimes she looks at me and says "pretend you're dead, and I have to -" Whatever it is. Some adult task she's assigned herself.
And it's just so transparently obvious that she's practicing the idea of having to do things on her own. Which is exactly what 5 year olds are supposed to do. I actually find it very flattering that the only way she can envision me not being available to help her is to be literally deceased. Otherwise, obviously, she wouldn't have to do scary hard things alone.
It's a natural coping mechanism. She's self-soothing about what would happen if I wasn't there by play-acting independence in a perfectly safe environment. She's also practicing skills she needs, and making up excuses for practicing them on her own, without taking on the responsibility of being able to do them by herself all the time yet.
Humans mentally rehearse bad this in their brains all the time. We can do that by ruminating- going over worries over and over again, which tends to lead to anxiety and helplessness and depression. Or we can do it with a sense of play- by recognizing that the fiction is fiction and we can dip our toe into these experiences and expose ourselves to bad things without actually being injured.
My daughter does not want me dead. And I don't want bad things to happen in real life. But fiction and pretend help me face the horrors of the world and think about them without collapsing or messing myself up mentally.
Yay for continuity!
Fun fact! According to folklorists, all myths, fairy tales and nursery rhymes that are about some dude named Jack are talking about the same guy
What this means is, that ever single one of the following
Jack Be Nimble (who jumped over burning candles for fun)
Jack the Giant Killer (who sold his cows for magic beans then robbed and killed a giant)
Stingy Jack (who tricked the devil so many times he was banned from both afterlives)
Jack of Jack and Jill (who splattered his head open falling down a hill)
Jack o’ Lantern (the headless horseman spirit of halloween)
Jack Frost (the spirit who heralds the end of autumn and the start of winter)
Are literally the same jackass who made so many bad life choices he ended up an immortal ice dullahan with a pumpkin serving as both his head and flashlight
I think the first Equestria Girls movie and Twilight's experience in the human world can be easily equated to how it feels to be neurodivergent in this world: Nothing makes sense, social rules don't make sense, people don't understand what you're trying to say when you speak, body feels weird, it's like you have to make an effort to move without looking clumsy and awkward, you do things in a way that seems weird or unconventional to others and get mocked/laughed at for it, worried that people won't accept the real you...
The first person she meets is Fluttershy and she stands up for her when she's being bullied by Sunset. Fluttershy (just like in fim) has trouble getting her words out until she sees Spike... who's an animal- SPECIAL INTEREST DETECTED! 💖✧( •⌄• )
Then before she heads off to class she tells Twilight that because the school doesn't allow pets she keeps a few of her animal friends in her backpack. Imagine, if you will, that this is something that helps her to cope with the anxiety that the school environment brings. Fluttershy - to me - here can be read as a neurodivergent person who has learned to mask to get by, "blending in" by not being visible in the first place, and Twilight a neurodivergent person who has not. (I could equate Twilight here to how I was in school before I gradualy stopped being myself and became more quiet to avoid bullies, I learned there was something "wrong" with me and since hiding it didn't seem to work I just disappeared into my head and rarely ever spoke). People tend to be drawn to people that share the same interests, opinions, experiences or struggles, Twilight's first friend at the school was someone who shared her struggle of fitting in, and I think that's pretty neat :)
Well, that's that! ^^ This isn't me saying this is how the movie was intended to be viewed, but a reading of it from my perspective, my autistic perspective lol 💖 (my own personal headcanon is that all of the mane 6 are neurodivergent but I'm not gonna go on about that now or this post will be even longer)

Beautiful.
First of all I apologize for the super long scroll u guys had to go through haha, and if u guys did read it thank you! I noticed I haven’t made any fanart with the Gaang all together so I decided to change that..It’s been a while since I did layout so this was a lot of fun to do. I wrote this as a character study for my faves, but I’m really just projecting because I miss spending time with my friends irl. I’ve been reminiscing all the shenanigans we got into before quarantine.
This is my first time writing a fic and I’m kinda proud with how it turned out. Big thank you for @lilith-the-first for being my beta reader and salvaging this fic omg. She fixed the grammar and made it coherent so now looks less like it was written at 3 am haha.
Hamlet adaptation where Hamlet is a vlogger and all his soliloquies are breakdowns he uploads to YouTube
Another day, another event focused on the LOV and their targeted psychic attacks on Skeptic's blood pressure (+ ReDestro's wallet)
The event starts with the gang fully embracing the freeloader lifestyle: lounging around and playing cards, ordering premium food on the PLF's dime, and doing absolutely nothing to actually help out with running the organization they violently took over like a week ago.
Everyone praises Tomura for being good at cards, with Compress and Twice wondering how he can be so good at reading others even though most of them are wearing masks. Jin then proceeds to shout out what his hand is, solving part of the mystery behind Tomura's undefeated winning streak in record time.
They want to play another game, but Tomura shoots them down bc it's close to noon and he's hungry. They agree to stop playing cards and get some lunch, and start talking about what sort of gourmet (read: expensive) foods they should try next. Tomura breezily talks about how nice it is to finally have money to burn (he's the worst ♥️), which inevitably summons Skeptic from the fourth ring of hell to bitch everyone out about wasting the PLF's precious funds.
"Thanks a bunch~" If Skeptic murks you in your sleep, you really only have yourself to blame Mister.
No one does "endearing in a criminally insane way" quite like Tomura. 😬
Trumpet senses that things are about to get ugly (or that skeptic is about five seconds away from a full blown hypertensive crisis) and intervenes, suggesting that they play a game of cards-- If Tomura wins, the PLF will foot the bill. If Skeptic wins, they either have to pay for their own lunch or just go hungry.
Tomura (quite predictably) says "fuck that" and tells Spinner just to go buy them lunch at a convenience store.
>be me >be stuck in a secret base hidden deep in the mountains >be literally miles away from civilization and the nearest town >tfw warp gate is doing ten-to-life and warp sludge is being gatekept by the world's most toxic Ivo Robotnik cosplayer 😔 >my boss, fully aware of all the above, orders me to walk to the nearest town and buy him a frozen burrito from a gas station >mfw
IS THIS YOUR MAN, SPINNER.
Tomura lightly bullying his friends and making unreasonable requests is nothing new, but this one strikes me as hilariously mean spirited even by his standards bc it’s also implied Tomura expects Spinner to foot the bill on top of all that:
BRO FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE 😭
Trumpet eventually convinces Tomura that it would actually (read: obviously) be faster to just settle the issue with a game of cards-- Tomura finally gives in, and they settle on a game of blackjack.
Compress explains the rules of blackjack and offers to deal the cards-- Trumpet shuts this down immediately and says that HE will deal the cards, thank you very much:
As an aside, I love how utterly shameless they make Compress in these events lmao.
Tomura and Skeptic begin their game, and Tomura quickly makes it apparent that he approaches blackjack with the same suicidally reckless abandon as he does pretty much everything else:
Out of context MHA, eat your heart out.
Spinner, Compress, and Dabi all worry that Tomura has drawn too many cards and is gonna lose by default, but Jin and Himiko both express their faith in his abilities as an ill-gotten bread winner (<3)
Tomura and Skeptic both reveal their hands, and we hard cut to the aftermath where the LOV are gushing about all the high quality meat they bought on the PLF's dime while Skeptic seethes in the corner.
>Tomura
> making logical choices
well, there's your first mistake.
Trumpet tells Skeptic to stop being a hater and dig in, casually siding with the LOV now that they've won their premium beef:
Trumpet:
Like a true politician.
The lunch party continues until ReDestro enters the scene... gushing about some high quality meat he managed to get ahold of and asking the League if they'd like some hot pot. :) Skeptic realizes his life is a cosmic joke. The event ends.
Bonus Stuff:
This is starting to feel less like a case of the LOV simply liking sushi and more like a united effort to haze Dabi. Deserved, tbh.
Jin telling Himiko to eat her veggies and Compress fondly watching her eat her weight in meat......... they r SO cute wtf..................,😭
>I start joking about Tomura being the most rancid godawful tsundere in existence
>somewhere out there, apollo draws back his dodgeball arm
He sure complains a lot for someone who grumpily indulges their every whim, huh.
Just a place for me to keep all my random musings and fangirlingishness... Yerp.
