jack harkness' arc is so fucking insane honestly... the guy is literally comic relief most of the time just out there throwing dirty jokes and winking at everything that moves, meanwhile his canon storyline is that his blond lady friend who was heartbroken at seeing him die absorbed The Time Vortex - that no human should ever absorb - which gave her supernatural powers that made her able to bring him back before she had to be saved BUT... she could not control those powers properly so she brought him back permanently and so he can no longer die but he keeps aging ! and he's aware of that contradiction and he asks the only other seemingly immortal being he knows about it in a way that makes it obvious that he's really fucking worried about it but that being looks him in the eyes and admits he fears what he has become and tells him he honestly has no idea what's gonna happen to him so he just has to like.. fake smile and keep on going. and then what that alien doesn't tell him is that he knows he's gonna live for another 5 BILLION YEARS and age into something entirely unrecognizable to anyone in the universe before he is finally allowed to die. like wow. that sure is the fucking comic relief right there !

Cleo: Bdubs is going to stick with his alliance, because that's what he always does when the chips are down. Bdubs is loyal, he pretends he's not because he likes *you* (looking at Etho) to do things for him.
CLEO!! Thank you for your takes!! I'll be chewing on them forever

literally in awe (and I'm not being sarcastic) of the people who post unpopular stories on AO3, get like 3 kudos total, and continue to dutifully publish chapter after chapter. they live on a plane of unbothered and self-assured existence that I can only dream of

The funniest part is that as much as I advocate for his murdering it's like. I am not at all against Jason stopping that shit altogether and actually Getting Help and shelving Red Hood forever if it's done right it's just that. It's not going to be done right. Someone can try sure by all means I'd still read the comic it's just not something I'm rooting for right now.
Cause well at this point murderer or otherwise he is owed some apologies LMAO and if reforming looks like how it already kinda looks i.e. pretending he's basically over everything so he can seamlessly join the Batfamily lineup as the "still kind of edgy one" that no one will ever fully trust again without any serious acknowledgement of how horribly catastrophically hurt he is. Well I don't want that at all that sucks. Especially if it doesn't feel like he came to the decision on his own. So in that case I'd rather he be more of an antagonist and see if anyone can do something interesting with that. Reforming for him in theory should NOT be turning Red Hood into a hero imo it should be separating Red Hood from Jason entirely bc the "Red Hood" identity is in itself representative of his grief + hurt + anger + so on and I don't really believe he can move past any of that so long as he keeps putting the helmet on. Or the hood. Or whatever he's wearing these days. But literally no one is ever going to let him put it down because Everybody Loves The Red Hood soooo... Yeah. Net 0 information here.

anyway. I'm not apologizing for it, but man I wish I could talk about something else besides my comics. unfortunately, the only thing holding me together is a very worn out piece of tape and the fact that the sequel to a game I love is coming out this week. it will continue to happen. maybe

overcrowded used book stores with haphazard piles instead of real organization are arbiters of fate. they will provide you with the right books at the right time if you allow them to
