People with most mainstream tastes imaginable should not open their mouth on how anti piracy they are btw. Yea no shit you can depend on legal sources to watch Marvel and listen to tswift and Maroon 5. Thank you so much for signing the petition to close that platform that was the only one i could download this 2008 romanian dungeon synth ep from
Cheryl Dunye’s directorial debut, The Watermelon Woman, was out of print between 2000 and 2018. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was only available to watch on a pirate channel on YouTube until last year. There is still no way to watch the X-Files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen except to own a dvd box set that has been out of print since 2005. Or to pirate it. It’s on YouTube.
Piracy is incredibly important to keep media that’s weird, or out there or just embarrassing to someone in power, alive. We need piracy and we need to stop being snitches when someone pirates stuff.
Bruce gives Jason the mother of all lectures when he finds out about the BOMB in his son’s helmet. It’s three hours long. The PowerPoint has a seemingly infinite amount of slides.
But as time goes on, Bruce keeps thinking about it, and… well, he can’t keep it out of his head. It was absolutely way too dangerous for Jason of course, and he’d never allow his other children to do it, but the Bat’s secret identity cannot be revealed. If it was, it’d put his kids in danger. Nothing is more important than his kids’ safety.
He could make it safe. Make the explosion just large enough to obliterate his body and make him difficult to identify. Maybe it’s actually… a good idea?

Jason: Okay old man, easy, that’s it. Two broken arms, huh? Always an overachiever. Let’s get that cowl off you.
Bruce: Don’t.
Jason: Stop your worrying, I know how to avoid the gas and shock system in the cowl.
Bruce: You can’t, because. Because.
Jason: Because…?
Bruce: because I put a bomb in it
Jason: *screams*

Jason, waving at the cowl blueprints: Bruce. What the fuck is this
Just a reminder that witchcraft is a supplement meant to be used in conjunction with modern medicine. Listen to your doctors. Not witchy extremists who want you to think modern medicine is evil.
Peeps, I think it’d be a good idea to stop using dragons’ blood incense as the tree it is made from is on the verge of extinction. Like if you already have dragons’ blood incense on hand then go ahead and use it, but stop buying it so you don’t contribute to the plant’s extinction.
Lokeans, please take into consideration that Loki’s mother Laufey is a nature Goddess whose name translates to “Leafy.” So maybe the protection of endangered plants might be important to her and to Loki.
Jason Todd: is a character about collateral damage, about victims, about being silenced and coming back furious and demanding blood
People in fandom: well he murders people instead of just violating their human rights and beating the shit out of them so clearly he’s the bad one
You do not get a more explicit walking metaphor than Jason Todd murdered child Jason Todd robin the in the case becoming bloody and vicious Red Hood, becoming “you and your outdated morality”, becoming a walking reminder that you can’t save everyone, that not all ghosts rest easy.
The perfect inverse of a silent memorial, a furious walking ghost demanding blood, screaming with a newfound voice that mourning was not enough - mourning him while allowing more victims just like him was wrong.
It means so much to me that Jason is both very much a victim, and he is so loud and hurt and unrepentant over it. He isn’t interested in silently enduring like some kind of romantic martyr. There is no nobility in pain. It is not beautiful.
And the harder different writers have tried to retroactively make him mean and unsympathetic the more i love him. Yes! He’s angry and mean because his life has been cruel and unjust and that is worth getting angry about.
