#or afternoon i guess

[havendance]

A collection of Helena Bertinelli/Huntress panels that are important to me:

(Detective Comics #653)

Batman: That's not the way I work. I'm not a killer. Huntress: You sanctimonious... You're looking for fair play in Gotham? I got you all wrong, Batman. I thought we became what we are for the same reasons; because the streets took away everything we loved.

Detective Comics 652-653 were my first introduction to Helena's character and this was the panel that really stuck out to me about her and who she was. This is what I kept coming back and thinking about. The contrast between them. They way that they're almost similar. Just "I thought we were the same". That's the good stuff right there.

(Huntress (1989) #2)

Huntress: I'm not strong. On TV... those overgrown wrestlers wear show-off flashy costumes... symbols of how strong they are. But it's not strong people who need costumes... It's the weak ones. Weak people who have to hide behind spooky capes and masks... make themselves seem more fearsome... so no one will see them for the harmless creatures they are... harmless as a frightened little girl who's lost her parents.

One of the things that really compelled about Huntress '89 (and to an extent Huntress '94, though that one just wasn't as good) was the dichotomy between the Huntress and the scared little girl that Helena still felt like underneath it. The contrast between the front she puts up, the way she puts on the mask and lives in it, and just how part of her is still caught up in the tragedy that birthed the Huntress in the first place.

(Showcase '93 #10)

Helena (internal narration): Maybe's not the word for it. Monday morning: David Stone will never have a chance to turn savage, never know a child of his own...but I can't bring myself to think it's better this way. Survival is always better.

Helena throughout the entire two part story that this concludes has been reflecting on the cycle of violence. It's really fascinating to see the way that her cynicism interacts with the fact that she really does want to help this student of hers who's been abused by his father. And the way she reflects on it you can see also thinking about herself and the Huntress as a product of violence and you get this impression of self-loathing as well. It's all just a really interesting story and I definitely recommend checking it out if you get a chance.

(Nightwing #29)

Huntress: How can you do what you do? Nightwing: Meaning? H: Look at this town. How can you play the white knight? How long can you stick to your “code”? N: As long as it takes. H: And if you fail? And you will fail. N: Then I fail, Helena. N: But I won’t let them win by becoming one of them. H: You have to play by their rules to defeat the. N: It’s not broken. H: What? N: Your ankle.

I've talked about this page before in multiple contexts, but like, I just really like it. It's an interesting look at what separates Helena from the bats. Her cynicism of you have to play the game to beat them. And also the last exchange "it's not broken... you're ankle", I just really like it. It works for me.

(JLA #32)

Kid: Do you have super strength? Huntress: No K: Are you invulnerable? H: I'm afraid not. K: Then how are you going to save him? What are you gonna do? H: I'm going to do everything I'm capable of doing!

I think this one speaks for it's self. I just boils down what I find compelling about non-powered heroes.

(Huntress: Cry for Blood #6)

Question: There's still time. Helena: Blood cries for blood, Vic. H: Santo killed his sister. Q: Dammit, where does it end? Q: When is it enough?

I'm going to be totally honest, this one's here because it appeals to me personally. I am obsessed with the motif of "blood cries for blood" (and also the Santo killed his own sister thing, because I'm always this close to catching kindly ones brainrot). Anyway, vengeance. Very compelling.

I feel like Eddie is the type of guy to always have a slide whistle in his pocket and uses it to make incidental sound effects for the conversations that happen around him.

Nobody knows where he gets them all from and they don’t ask incase he takes one out and starts playing with it.

Wayne is so happy every time he loses one of the whistles. He absolutely never tells Eddie when he finds one of the numerous whistles that have rolled under the couch. He has an agreement with Steve to dispose of them secretly and securely.

Except one night when Steve’s driving around town with Eddie, he opens the glove box and there’s a bag full of whistles (seriously nobody knows where he’s getting them from. And in bulk?)

And Eddie is all ‘HEY!’ Which immediately makes Steve tense up in preparation for an argument with his easily antagonised boyfriend about the possible theft of offending musicals instruments.

But then Eddie continues with ‘more whistles! I didn’t take you for a fan dude!!’

And promptly shoves one up each of his nostrils and one in his mouth and tries to play them all at once while demanding Steve watch instead of watching the road.

Steves going to have to think of a new hiding spot.

#corroded coffin DOES have a slide whistle only song #they ALL get whistle solos #Wayne HAS had to deal with hours of slide whistle practice becuase eddie has told him ‘Wayne I NEED to be a master of my craft’ #’I mean it’s like telling Beethoven to stop playing’ #Wayne doesn’t think it’s like that at all #pre-agreement #Steve comes in to the trailer one afternoon and has to physically shake wayne to get his attention to ask what the hell the shrieking is #Wayne just hands a pair of ear plugs to Steve and points to the couch #the trials and tribulations of dating eddie munson #WEEE guess who originally was only going to post the first paragraph and put everything else in the tags #stranger things #eddie munson #steddie #steve harrington #I’ve got crumbs friebds I’m so sorry

I wonder if Jessamine's passing influenced the way death and mourning is viewed in the Empire

the world is strongly inspired by Victorian and Edwardian society, and one of the most defining aspects of the era, at least for modern people, is the way mourning was perceived at the time.

which, in turn, was influenced by the untimely death of queen Victoria's husband. the period of mourning, the way it is to be expressed, how people should behave and dress - all of this was strongly influenced by the widowhood of queen Victoria.

there are some paralells to it in the Kaldwin Empire, too. the untimely death of empress Jessamine, the high regard in which she is held long after her death, the ceremonies that accompany the anniversary of her passing. the way Emily has to perform, year after year, give a speech and celebrate her dead mother. the way Corvo's "celibacy" is often highlighted, his love for Jessamine and him remaining loyal to her even many years later and never taking another lover- so much of the mourning for the late Empress is celebrated and ceremonialized. I wonder what kind of effect it had on the world as a whole

#dishonored #dh #li.txt #jessamine kaldwin #i just need to talk about this okay #ive spent my afternoon reading up on how all this stuff worked in victorian england #yes i am writing a fanfiction how did you know------ #i do not want to drag the way they dress into it since emily as a kid was in white (common mourning clothes for children which ????) #and corvo and jess were always wearing black #so Im guessing theyre just a goth family good for them

with every passing day that the extension talks go on for willy, and with every new little bit of information that slowly gets leaked to the media, it makes auston announcing his own extension before any insider on a random august night that much funnier

#every insider: here is the x y & z on the nylander extension talks #auston on a random thursday afternoon: YIPEE IM STAYING! #every insider: uh yeah i guess auston is staying based off his tweet??

The team doesn’t fully understand Spencers daddy issues because he never told them what he went through while taking care of Diana. He never told them about the abuse, (he’ll take that secret to his grave) about the times when she forgot who he was. Sure he’s probably given them a summery of it but they don’t understand how deep his childhood trama is.

That plus the bullying (which everyone kinda blew off anyways *insert that scene from Elephants memory here*) also L.D.S.K “Hotch I was a 12 year old prodigy in a Las Vegas public high school… you kick like a nine year old girl.” Which insinuates Spencer got beat up in school and it was never talked about again.

He was dealing with ALLL of this by himself because he couldn’t talk to his mom about it, so logically you would go to another parent but in Spencer’s case William Reid decided to peace the fuck out and not even take Spencer with him, or give a half assed reason why he can’t take Spencer.

When Rossi and Derek followed Spencer to Vegas in Memoriam they were so confused why Spencer was so hostile towards his dad. I bet they didn’t expect Spencer to be happy to see his dad but the level of bitchiness Spencer displayed towards Willam probably confused Derek and Rossi (framing Willam for murder aside) because Spencer never told any of them the full story, they assumed it was a average “oh my dad left” story which still is incredibly selfish but in Spencer’s case takes it to a while other level.

Fuck Willam Reid for leaving his CHILD to care for his mentality ill wife.

#criminal minds #spencer reid #good afternoon everyone it’s fuck Willam Reid hours #also fuck the BAU for this extremely specific thing hours #which I blame the writers for #so I guess it’s fuck CM writers hours
