general nonsense and tomfoolery

will anything ever be as iconic and savage as when sally jackson, percy jackson’s mother, used the decapitated head of the medusa to turn her abusive husband to stone, and then sold him as a statue to an art gallery to critical acclaim and used the resulting funds to pay to attend college and start her dream life as a writer

the humorous upside to Jason really doubling down on being the kind of Red Hood who is at best morally grey and makes a habit of chopping off heads and shooting anyone he doesn’t agree with is that he is 100% Batman’s obscenely scary dog. the second he puts that bat symbol on his chest it’s over, even if it’s a mockery or a message or whatever. Gotham’s underbelly shits their pants when they see Red Hood. and therefore, Batman — brutal as he is, but so much less lawless, in a way — is suddenly the nice cop in his own city. the city where he routinely cracks skulls, stalks targets in the shadows, and throws people off buildings to get information. Jason makes him the “easy” option in Gotham, and while I’m sure the whole Jason thing keeps Bruce up at night for other reasons, that must be so frustrating? here you have a little shithead upstart elbowing into YOUR city and breaking the rules and suddenly goons are being nice to you? or they’re acting out because they’re more scared of the “other guy.” only a father could love that kind of prodigal son without strangling him.

the handmaidens are SUCH a cool concept to explore when you don't have someone in your ear telling you they're padmé's gal-pals

were they padmé's closest relationships for years? yes, but the intimacy bar for padmé is practically underground. her loneliness and isolation are incredibly important to her character and while she did love them as much as her position as first and foremost queen of naboo allowed her and they were the closest thing to normal friends she had pretending like those relationship could be healthy and well functioning in any way is crazy. on one hand you got the fourteen year old queen of her planet and on the other her identical employees whose job is to die for her. people think they were playing space!just dance or whatever when their average conversation was probably about which teenager was willing to give her boss a kidney. they probably fought to do it too. and it's so fucked and it's so incredibly intresting.

AU where jason Todd actually has pit madness, but it’s because his shitty crime alley apartment is directly above one of the natural pits. it’s in his tap water.
