We love Bruce's tragic ignorance of Sheila's role in Jason's death.

We love Jason never telling another soul what Sheila did, because he loves her, because he's grateful she showed him compassion as soon as it didn't cost her anything, because nobody needs to know.

We need to go further.

Jason's last act as Robin got an innocent woman killed. His own mother, a doctor who should've lived many more years making the world a better place.

Poor Doctor Haywood might've survived being forced to work for the Joker, but Jason dragged her into a dangerous confrontation instead.

It's obvious what happened: Jason was trying to show off. He wanted to impress his mother by revealing himself as Robin and taking down the Joker. Treating everything like a game, never considering the consequences.

And despite losing everything to his recklessness, Sheila still used her dying breath to praise him. It's a tragedy that such a sweet woman dedicated her life to caring for others, but her own son doomed her with his carelessness.

#Bruce takes a break from making ten thousand Martha And Thomas Wayne charities to establish the Sheila Haywood Scholarship Program. #Jason doesn't have any catty remarks for once. Huh. So he does have some shame for getting his mother killed. #If only he'd actually change his ways in honor of her values. #Jason Todd #Sheila Haywood #Bruce and Jason #See nobody would support a charity named after an ungrateful slum kid who stole his benefactor's credit card and ran away. #Not to mention the Wayne Foundation probably suffered a rough patch of PR from the general Jason Todd fiasco. #No need to remind the public. #In a pinch maybe it helps that Wayne Entertainment owns The Gotham Gazette and The Daily Planet... But you can only control so much media. #Consider the optics. The sad reality is that a Jason Todd Memorial Foundation would do more harm than help. #But Doctor Sheila Haywood? That's a legacy worth honoring. #Educated. Compassionate. Dutiful. Forgiving. #Maybe someday Jason will find the courage to follow in his mother's footsteps. #BTW how many billions has Jason donated to charity? Oh that's right. Zero billions. #Truly his selfishness never ends.

Minor Part 42 Spoilers

I know it’s intended to be a funny little throw away line, but the “Was I this bad?” exchange is so so so so important to me.

John, less than even an hour ago, committed a horrible atrocity against Arthur. It doesn’t matter that the deal was fake, he still intended to go through with it. Fully. He threatened Arthur’s memories, threatened his autonomy, threatened his very well being in a moment of fear and rage and human helplessness and grief. For all intents and purposes, Arthur should still be livid with him, should still bear that affront like a freshly bleeding wound. He should hate John, just a little. But he doesn’t. The second John shows even the slightest hint of self consciousness, that little sliver of weakness, an awareness of his growth and where he began and how far he’s come, a tiny fracture in the armor of his newborn human ego, Arthur immediately goes to reassure him.

“No-” You weren’t that bad. You were fine. You did great. A thousand little unspoken reassurances. Platitudes, maybe, since he was being untruthful kind.

John was that bad. Yorick has no reason to lie or exaggerate, he was this bad at the beginning and Arthur would be well within his rights to affirm that. To put him down. To lash out in some petty little way and get his licks in while the wound still drips, but he doesn’t. Doesn’t even think about it. His first instinct isn’t to dig his thumb into the scar and inflict on John some tiny hurt, but to soothe him, not out of fear that he might make good on his earlier threat, but out of genuine care. Out of friendship, Out of love.

i know this isnt what i usually post, "shut up fat kink blog" i dont fucking care sit the hell down and listen.

You're aware of the Huion New Year AIGI Tweet, right?

LEST WE FORGET, back in november last year:

If you want to buy a Wacom, Huion or Gaumon device, I'd recommend either looking into an alternative or buying secondhand/refurbished from 3rd party sellers on Ebay or something. Avoid Amazon for all the obvious reasons.

This is fucking disgusting. This is embarrassing. This is unacceptable.

most importantly,

They won't stop.

Need proof?

Fact Check by USA Today: False

But is it false? Because...

It is literally true. This Janet Reed was arrested, charged, convicted, fined and sentenced to 18 months in jail. And yet USA Today "Reported" that the story is false.

btw skipping triggering scenes in your favourite shows/movies doesn’t make you less of a fan. there are still scenes in multiple of my favourite shows that i cannot/have never watched, but i still love those shows with all of my heart.

whether it triggers past experiences and trauma, your fears, your sensory issues, your migraines, or it just gives you really bad second hand embarrassment. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SKIPS SCENES IN YOUR FAVOURITE MEDIA

#i feel incredibly passionate about this #i’m building a note in my phone of all the time stamps of the scenes i skip #this is a direct call out of all initiation scenes #fuck those guys #incredibly unnecessary and painful to watch #i’m looking at you #young royals #i have never watched that scene bc i know what happens #so why would i watch it #other media with scenes i usually skip include; #control z #everything everywhere all at once #andi mack #shameless #degrassi #pretty little liars #doctor who #the it crowd #stranger things #and probably more #daisy originals #community #favourites #the 100

it has been pointed out before but I like how the 9 news logo is there because that should be the typical response to anything they do

#idk how many people outside australia know how much news and media the murdochs control here #and ofc overseas #how many parliamentary actions alone have been actioned or denied by this bloke alone #they are going hard on the youth crime shit rn even though it's more case of man bites dog #so many people are falling for it though that's the insane thing

I think there’s a lot of unmined potential in Jamie being conditioned to prick out when he’s flipped off, ‘cause if the team’s doing the rounds some late night after a win and some random dude decides to give Jamie the finger then—

#roy is woken up in the middle of the night #furious bc he was getting some sleep in as jamie had the morning after off #EXCEPT NOW HE’S AWAKE BC OF JAMIE ALL THE SAME #keeley has to run media interference and damage control #it’s a mess but jamie refuses to feel bad #bc he was given the fucking signal wasn’t he and so what if the dude didn’t know what he was doing #isaac somewhat surprisingly supports this stance #and sam murmurs – just a little guiltily – to moe #‘it’s actually quite funny when he’s being rude to other people isn’t it’? #let jamie be a chaotic prick sometimes #jamie tartt #my stuff #tramsbyxa

Here is a link to the above post, just to cite the source. I don't really think OP is interested in what I have to say, but I felt compelled to write down my thoughts, regardless.

Sorry, stranger on the internet, but you seem to have mistaken a TV show for a Sunday school parable. Protagonists do not have to be morally pure. You do not have to agree with a protagonist's actions. Additionally, a TV show character being part of the main ensemble cast does not necessarily make them a protagonist.

You should, in fact, consider deciding for yourself whether a character is behaving in a way you agree with. There is a huge difference between media that glorifies a character's harmful actions, and media that simply depicts those actions and invites the audience to critically engage with them.

Sometimes, people do incredibly shitty things while thinking what they are doing is fine and normal, without even really thinking about what they're doing and why. It's important for us to see this in media, because it reminds us that we, ourselves, can be capable of participating in morally bankrupt systems (capitalism? anyone?).

Beyond that, a slaveowner being presented as a human who a viewer can understand and sympathize with is, in fact, critical to a nuanced story. This may come as a surprise to you but everyone who has ever participated in a morally bankrupt system has been a human who had friends and loved ones and complicated internal lives. If we dehumanize these people in media, we are again at risk of not recognizing when we or our loved ones are doing deeply harmful things. In fact, more TV shows should be like that.

Ignoring painful realities of history like slavery, or making slaveowners into fully evil cartoonish villains may be satisfying, but it is not more helpful or morally pure than presenting nuance.

#black sails #i don't really know what to tag this but i know i'm not the only one frustrated with this attitude towards tv shows #purity culture is out of control #black sails has a lot about it that can be criticized #and its fans do so frequently and with really inspiring levels of insight #what is the point of media that just tells you directly what you are supposed to think #and then just accepting that without questioning it #like from a structure perspective flint and silver are the protagonists #but i sure as hell don't think either of them are models for how to behave #description in alt text

#snowbaird #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #i get so weary of people saying 'he only wanted to control her' etc etc #their 'meet cute' is him terrified and relieved that she's there to act as a PARTNER in manipulating the media & handling people #she's someone who can actually advise him on this because she's damn good at it! #and he respects and admires that about her #side note: one change i like in the movie is that they have her actually grab his arm and make him focus on her - more fun than the book lo

yes it is important to have hobbies that involve creation and physical action when it is possible or whatever but downgrading anything else to "media consumption" is so deadening. is tv not performance, are animation and cinematography not visual art, is a script not writing? would you deny someone the enjoyment of a story because they can watch it in the comfort of their home? sit down and see the beauty in both the natural and the manmade and maybe you'll stop acting like enjoying tv is a crime

#there is a spectrum of opinions about ~media~ + 'all media is inherently art and good and free of flaws so you cant judge it' #and 'all media is inherently bad and evil because you arent tilling the earth with your bare hands' are equally obnoxious #you simply cant control what other people get from an activity especially if that activity has art in it #which is everything ever alll if the time #patch me through to palaven command
