Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

I've seen a lot of people sharing their thoughts on why Bakugou's redemption is so luke warm and lacking in depth.

Bakugou Katsuki is a bigot. I know that this is quite the accusation but hear me out.

A bigot is defined as "a narrow-minded person who obstinately adheres to their own opinions and prejudices". This describes Bakugou's personality to a T.

Genshin SAGAU

Context: The story of how the Creator created Teyvat, and its people. And what comes after it.

cw: mentions of religions, lore of genshin, worship(??), cults, etc.

a/n: Basically it's lore about the Creator and its story. Like the bible and Jesus. You know, like that.

Once, there was a seed planted in the light years of between worlds. That seed soon grow to a beautiful flower. That flower soon developed knowledge, as Space and Time passes by, passing down their knowledge to the Flower.

With that knowledge, the Flower evolved to a being the Space and Time's visuals' told to the Divine One from thousands of light years of travelling. As Space and Time left the world the Divine One is currently staying, they decided to make life.

Looking For More Writing Tips And Tricks? 

Check out the rest of Quillology with Haya; a blog dedicated to writing and publishing tips for authors!

I’d apologize for the crud language out of the get-go, but I’m not sorry.

I haven’t seen a lot of people defending Bruce’s actions, but I have seen some—and y’all are fucking disgusting. I don’t give TWO SHITS that Catwoman left Bruce at the altar. I don’t give two shits that apparently he has some feud going on with Mr. Freeze. I really don’t.

Because NOTHING is an excuse to treat your CHILD the way that Jason was treated in the latest issue. Just SPEAKING to Jason the way Bruce spoke to him is enough abuse as it is. Even if Bruce just spoke to him like that instead of getting physical—it would still be fucking abuse. Bruce Wayne has EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY abused his son. This is NOT a fact that can be debated. It is fucking ABUSE. I UNDERSTAND that Bruce is going through some shit. BUT YOU DO NOT TREAT YOUR CHILD LIKE THAT.

And I don’t really fucking want to see people bringing up Jason’s past against him either right now, I really fucking don’t, especially when the stuff being brought up is not even part of this continuity as far as we know. The continuity of Rebirth is a fucking mess, I could talk about that for hours, but you don’t get to hold shit like Jason beating up Tim against this REBIRTH issue because it’s not canon as of right now. In fact, in New 52, Jason and Tim were on good terms (which is strange as shit, not gonna argue that).

The point I’m trying to make is, Bruce is INCREDIBLY out of fucking line and DC knows it. You’re NOT supposed to be defending Bruce for his actions. Jason has done fucked up shit, especially Pre-New 52 (which again, WE STILL DON”T KNOW WHATS CANON OR NOT CUZ DC DOESN”T KNOW WTF THEY”RE DOING EVER), but That IS NOT justification for Bruce to beat the shit out of his SON. It’s not and I don’t want to see this shit anymore.

I don’t want Bruce’s actions to be pushed aside by fandom OR in canon. The rest of the Batfamily SHOULD be up in arms about Bruce’s actions. There is NO excusing what he’s done and how he has likely sent Jason 50 steps backward in his journey to recover from all the shit he’s been through.

And for that I 500% blame Scott Lobdell not knowing what the fuck he’s doing anymore. It’s CRYSTAL clear that Scott needs to let Jason go and let another writer write him, just like Dan Slott needed to let Spiderman go over at Marvel (but that’s another story).

But a dang other thing that gets me about the whole “Bruce is acting ooc because of his grief towards his chance at losing love/Selina leaving him.” Is that in a very dark and pathetically sad and ironic way, that really speaks volumes of what a fucked up and hypocritical Mr. Cold really is. He thinks lowly of really all expressions of emotion ranging from warranted sadness to beautifully hopeful. Yet, is in a constant state of despair and encourages others to follow him suit in that that ‘chood’s to be around him. He’s that much of a controlling narc he pretty much applauds when his unhealthy behavior is mimicked, case in point being emotionally unstable Tim. But further from that and additionally is that he completely rages in a manner we’ve only seen Jason commit to after results from the PIT, and even then he couldn’t have it in him to treat Bruce that way, nor any other member of the Batfamily. Or the bio family he knew that betrayed him from the pre-rebirth days, and etc. He’d only exert this force on someone he deemed equally harmful and evil and dangerous, immoral beyond a reasonable doubt etc. So not his family, estranged or otherwise. Yet Bruce Batshit Crazy Wayne has ofc found a typical justification in breaking his own code for him only, and appeals to extreme rage aka the most threatening emotion and uses intimidation tactics he hasn’t used in most criminals. All at the place of where his son died traumatically, PURPOSELY WITH INTENTION.

And the thing with Selina that connects itself as a mistakenly good example of a self contradictory defense argument is that it further exemplifies what a hilariously horrible excuse it is, all on its own really. BECAUSE besides the fact that it should be obvious that snapping at your son who kills a corrupt human devil mostly due to the pain you feel about you fiance leaving you is already no about excuse (you wouldn’t think twice or find leeway and shout misunderstanding bs if Bruce was a woman and did this to his child fyi because she’s be clearly horrible just as Bruce’s actions are in canon)–the real kicker is that JT has far better reasons to be angry at Bruce than Bruce towards Jason just from this paralleling scenario alone. When CW left Bruce she wrote him a sincere and genuine, heartfelt, and fair letter to explain his reasoning and full consideration of him as both Bruce and Batman and acknowledged how his needs and philosophy matters to her as much as it does to him.

Whereas…y'all fav deranged man-boy, ended up leaving his newly resurrected and beyond traumatized and uncertain identity crisis and lonely, taken under the wing of a supervision terrorist empire, while still suffering Lazarus Pit’s most intense effects, distanced son, a more awful than Disney’s “Dog with a Blog” voicemail message, that describes in emphasis how Jason is his “greatest failure” and basically just a general mistake all around, who he never should’ve taken in because he considers himself to have over contemplated and wrongly assumed his full potential and just goes on depth with an air of sadness all about how he essentially just doesn’t believe in home…while being the top person Jason’s has even ever wanted to have believe in him, for the sake of believing in himself. Something all CHILDREN require fyi, and as a kid Jason worshipped Bruce for simply being who he was and saving him. Yet, that’s the most “heartfelt” response he gets to his arrival back to the living world. It’s nearly the opposite of Selina’s message. Bruce was outright emotionally dismissive and only considering of himself the entire message and Cat takes the exact opposite approach, while still off looking out for himself and focusing on her needs in an appropriate way as every real adult should.

Batman is so self centered and out of touch and uncaring of what he doesn’t care to be interested in understanding, anyone could easily mistake him as a vindictive sadist out of context. He’s not though.

Nope. So kudos, right. Just a self satisfying, self absorbed, manipulative, controlling, cult-like groomer and conditioner, child endangering, arrogant, self proclaimed savior with a God complex and a vendetta that gives him leeway to break the law nightly and operate badly by his whims so long as he hides behind scapegoating labels he relies on to trick others while kidding himself in the process. The evil!Batman made so much sense to me because he’s really built like a beast designed to destroy more than most the other heroes in-universe. It can’t be denied.

He’s literally capable of demolishing anything or anyone he scans an enemy at all times, with a clear conscience. Even those that love and risk most for him. Because ever time he has blood on his hands, he looks in the mirror before washing them and calls them clean as they drip liquid red drops down below to the floor.

Bruce Wayne respects immature games with criminals more than anyone he’s ever mentored. More than all of them put together in fact.

Im not saying that this isnt sweet and fluffy and what I WANT for the batfam.

Adding onto this about good dad!Bruce, the fact that in issue 27, Jason thinks Bruce hates him and Bruce says something along the lines of “I don’t hate you, but you need a good kick in the ass sometimes to fall in line”

Like that is one of the most basic abuser lines: “I did it because I love you” “I did it for you’re own good” “I did it because you deserved it” “I did it because it’s the only way you learn”

(Not to mention, Willis was also an abusive father. I know Rebirth, Scott tries to try to retcon Willis as a complicated yet loving parent even though before he wrote Jason saying things like he couldn’t sleep when he was younger because he was afraid Willis was going to blow his and his mom’s brains out: “would yell about taking the shotgun of the table and erasing the worst two mistakes of his life. Otherwise, it was hard to find a position where the bruises didn’t hurt[heavily implying beating]” but I’m not really surprised that Scotty hear is being an abuse apologist about not one but two men in Jay’s life. Really it highlights the fact that Jason continuously gets trapped in Cycles of Abuse because it’s all he knows: forgiving shelia for playing a role in his murder, forgiving Willis after the letters, forgiving Bruce over So Many Things. This will never be addressed in canon)

Anyway:

Never mind the fact that fandom saw this and went “See Bruce doesn’t hate Jason! It’s all in his head! He’s being dramatic!” And latching onto the hug at the end ignoring the fact Bruce just told Jason:

A. Roy, the person Jason considers his best friend and the person who saved him from himself, was Fuckin Dead!!! At A Place He Was Supposed To Be Safe At That Jason Trusted He’d Be Safe At!!! But also….

B. Jason deserved to be beat so hard that he needed Alien Tech to recover(of which he didn’t use until three weeks in for which Roy thought he was punishing himself meaning Jay was taking on the blame rather than realizing it was Bruce’s fault, another symptom of abuse. And then an entire week after that to heal with Kori’s tech) and would have been, what I think was going to happen, thrown into Arkham(most likely not getting the help he needs mentally nor physically, and, in this era of Jason, would probably have lost his mind to audio and visual hallucinations(I don’t remember if the joker was even in Arkham at this time which would have def made it Even Worse, oh my god). If not Arkham, Bruce was then just going to drag Jason out of Gotham to rot with his injuries alone(like KGBeast after Dick) if the others hadn’t stepped in

ALSO in #27, telling Jason that “he’s never going to be allowed back in Gotham ever. Not even Arkham.” Ignoring the implicit threat that if Jason returns to Gotham, he’ll be thrown into Arkham, Bruce has No Right to kick Jason out of his God Damn Home. Gotham may be “Batman’s city” but it’s Jason’s home. The fuckin audacity. I don’t even have anything to add to that, that’s how angry that makes me. (He also didn’t tell Jason that Dick was shot in the head, cutting Jason off from important information on someone who Canonically considered each other Brothers and isolating him from people he cares about/would want to help. This could totally just chalk up to timing and the issue had already gone to print before it could be added in, I’m not sure but that doesn’t change the fact that, later on, I don’t think anyone ever told Jason dick was shot. How did he find out? Through the grapevine? When he and dick had that whole big bad wolf fight scene? I gen don’t remember)

I remember Lobdell writing something along the lines about #27 of: “editors were so surprised where this issue went! No one was expecting it!” I fucking wonder WHY, SCOTT!!

The beginning point is though: Jason wasn’t trying to kill the penguin. Bruce had also just got left at the alter by Selina. This furthers the point that Bruce uses Batman as an outlet for his anger and aggression not worrying about who gets caught in the path. Bruce didn’t even look into it like with the mayor for the black mask arc(which was the same set up as the penguin). Bruce was just looking for an excuse to let out his failed marriage angst and Jason got caught in the cross fire. It was so easy for jason to get caught at the wrong place at the wrong time because Bruce never trusted him to begin with

By the end of this particular scene Bruce has done more cumulative damage to Jason than the Joker ever did

Because I am totally incapable of shutting up and I just remembered this:

Building off the joker thing, Jason said getting beat by Bruce hurt worse than the crowbar

Like emotionally? Physically? Both? It’s vague. But like what am supposed to do with that???

Compare Batman to the Fuxkin JOKER!? Is that what I’m supposed to do??? You can’t just say shit like this and then just….never address it ever again

First we have Jason saying: I’ve never seen you hit the joker that hard before, and you hate him

To Jason saying: after a few weeks of healing, I still hurt worse than when I was getting beat with a crowbar

And the only message I can get that lobdell is trying to send is that: Bruce—Jason’s adopted father—hurt Jason worse than the joker—his goddamn murderer. And this is after weeks of healing. So either A: the beating hurt more whilst it was happening therefore Bruce punched him harder than the clown hit him with a solid rod of metal or B: Jason was in a dissociative shock(due to literally everything going wrong like the supposed death of his friends) or something and didn’t even process the pain till later, and yet when registered it still hurt more

Both of which are Not A Good Look for Bruce

I don’t even want to think about how Jason can totally write of Bruce slitting his throat as an accident to save piece of mind whilst saving the joker to Bruce later on hitting him harder than the joker, it hurting worse than the joker, as a not only a choice but now a purposefully, conscience one. Like what’s going on in Jason’s brain at this point? “He chose the joker then. He’s hitting me harder than the joker now. It hurts worse than when the joker hurt me at 15. Bruce hates me more than the joker”

Let’s not forget either that Bruce also beat him so hard that Jason couldn’t hold a gun without shaking. This could be due to pain. It could also be due to the fact that a gun started all of this for “not following Bruce’s rules”. Or even: Jason subconsciously ties guns to Bruce so when he’s holding it he’s thinking of Bruce and it triggers him.

Long story long: Jason’s hands—his steady marksman hands—shake because of the beating he went through at Bruce’s. Conditioning maybe? “Don’t use guns and if you continue to do so I’ll make you afraid of them”.

(Something-something this could also technically tie into Jason giving up guns to use a crowbar for Bruce’s comfort now-a-days something-something emotional manipulation, gaslighting and mental turmoil to get Jason to fall in line and using his want/need for a family/literally any good, genuine connections with anyone against him as a weapon and saying it’s privilege he hasn’t earned yet something-something Jason is so different from his first appearance as red hood because trying to reconnect with the family is literally chipping him away yet his 15-year-old inner child needs Bruce to choose him over his murderer and he still cares about Bruce so much that he can’t just walk away, wanting things to be okay and fine and good something-something this could actually be a really interesting plot line to show how being with the bats and trying to align with them is running Jason ragged, filling him with anxiety because no matter what he does he’ll never be good enough and highlights his need to be perfect, wanting to reach unattainable goals trapping him in a sunk-cost fallacy loop something-something but since it’s Bats + Co. Jason’s “actually just being unnecessarily difficult and if you would just listen, we know what’s best for you” it’ll never happen so instead we get “look at all of these cute fluffy family interactions. Hey, hey, Jason remember that time you were murdered good times. Fuxkin hilarious actually” something-something now I’m just rambling)

Bruce's parenting ranges from Emotionally Abusive, Neglectful, Monetary Abuse... to straight up Physical Abuse, Gaslighting and Conditioned responses. The guy has literally decided to treat child abuse like a candy store and grab a bag of pick and mix.

Ifs not just Jason either. Like he's the most obvious as the Black Sheep but Bruce in the comics is a terrible father who only has custody because he's a rich white man in a city built on corruption.

There is no way cps and half of Gotham doesn't take one look at any othe Bat's who are publicly Brucie Wayne's and alive and not atleast suspect something dodgy.
