Young Justice team when asked what they think about Batman
Kaldur: “He is a wise and trustworthy leader. I respect him highly and never doubt his decisions."
Conner: "Guy’s a jerk."
M'gann: "Batman? He scares me. He’s always glaring silently as if planning to kill us or something. Once I tried reading his mind, but all I heard was echoes. It’s creepy."
Wally: "Pfft, Bats? Please, the guy’s a total pushover. Once I was over their place and Robin and I made a blanket fort in the Batcave, and you know what Batman did? He just walked out of there and worked somewhere else. He’s probably nicer than my own parents."
Artemis: "Literally the only person in the universe I don’t want to mess with, which says a lot cuz I’ll fight anyone."
Robin: "B and I are going out for ice cream after patrol.” :)
Damian: *is fighting with Bruce, threatens to quit*
Jason: *starts laughing*
Damian: What?
Jason: Dude, nobody quits being Robin
Damian: What? But didn’t you quit?
Jason: No, stupid, I died
Damian: Fine, then Grayson. He quit to become Nightwing
Dick: Um, actually Bruce fired me
Damian: What about Drake?
Tim: Nope, Dick stole the title from me and gave it to you
Damian: Oh. But didn’t you quit while Brown was Robin?
Tim: My dad forced me to, so it doesn’t count
Damian: *hmphs* Then Brown, at least?
Steph: Sorry, I was fired too
Damian: Fine. Then I’ll just be the first to quit!
Jason: *laughs* Nah, sorry kid, not gonna happen. You’ll probably either get fired or killed again, and I’ve got fifty bucks on the line for the latter
Damian: *pales* Father?
Bruce: *has conveniently disappeared*
I find it very funny that tumblr is always saying, “We want more characters with mental illnesses and mental trauma! We want more characters with trauma who make mistakes! Who are messy! Who aren’t turned into these cutesy, sympathetic caricatures. We want characters with mental issues who have flaws, who are effed up, who make bad decisions sometimes. Because that’s realistic and raw and real.”
And yet……….people love to shit on Tony Stark when he is quite literally the perfect example of a character with massive mental trauma who is messy and makes mistakes and isn’t this cutesy caricature of mental illness. Marvel has given us an excellent character who shows so much depth when it comes to PTSD, mental trauma, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. He’s a character that many people who suffer from some of those very problems relate to so much. And y'all just love to hate on him!!!!
Like, why don’t y'all just admit that you actually DON’T want to see realistic, flawed, messy characters with mental trauma? Just admit it.
And when I say “very funny” I mean NOT FUNNY AT ALL.
Omg look at petas response
Holy shit what the fuck burn them omg
so when we say fuck PETA you know where we’re coming from
This is practically how a lot of these privileged rich vegans think, so I’m not surprised.
Anonymous asked:
Did Zuko seem different to you in S3? I mean, in S2 in his most sincere moments he's so SOFT. My gosh, such a sweet and sincere boy who acted so hesitant when he was vulnerable. With the GAang his walls were nearly ALWAYS up! Zuko in Boiling Rock and Ember Island Players is who I expected who him to be but he acts so prickly the rest of the time. It seems like an incomplete arc. You disagree? If so why?
araeph answered:
Zuko was different in the first half of Book 3, for sure. As I’ve asserted before, there’s a good reason for this. Zuko had experienced hardship out in the world, learned to identify with people from other cultures, and become closer to his uncle. But to the Zuko at the send of Book 2, the Fire Nation was still an idyllic place in his head where everything was where and how it was supposed to be. Zuko, a homesick and love-starved teenager, needed to experience firsthand how different the Fire Nation was than how he imagined it. His memories of being a boy and young teen in the Fire Nation don’t include horror at the Fire Nation’s war of aggression, or the comparison of Iroh’s fatherly love to Ozai’s distinct lack of it. In “The Beach” he thinks he will be closer a place his family was actually happy, but his spiritual malaise means he is farther away from his true family than ever.
Zuko could not have fully broken free of Ozai’s and the Fire Nation’s mental conditioning without the rude awakening he got at home. And once he joined the Avatar, he immediately starts softening up. I don’t think his walls were nearly always up with the GAang at all.
He smiles at the group:
Smiles at Aang and says he’s a talented kid:
Smiles softly when he’s being teased:
Smiles and hugs Katara:
Smiles softly at Toph:
Shows vulnerability about his uncle not once:
Sokka: I know, I know, you’ve changed.
Zuko: I meant my Uncle. He was more of a Father to me. And I really let him down.
Sokka: I think your Uncle would be proud of you. Leaving your home to come help us, that’s hard.
Not twice:
Katara: You didn’t really say that, did you?
Zuko: I might as well have.
Not three times:
Zuko: But for me, it takes all the mistakes I’ve made in my life and shove them back in my face. My Uncle. He’s always been on my side even when things were bad. He was there for me. He taught me so much and how do I repay him? With a knife in his back. It’s my greatest regret and I may never get to redeem myself.
BUT FOUR.
Katara: Are you okay?
Zuko: No, I’m not okay. My Uncle hates me, I know it. He loved me and supported me in every way he could and I still turned against him. How can I even face him?
And when he does reunite with his uncle:
Plus, he practically hugs the stuffing out of that Avatar.
Yes, Zuko
is still the most crotchety and goal-oriented member of the GAang, but that’s
only in comparison to their normal cheerful banter. Remember, he hasn’t had a
whole lot of experience engaging in a positive way with a friend. His milder
moments in Book 3 surpass those of Book 2. You might not have remembered how he
interacted with Lee in Book 2:
Lee: When my dad goes, will you stay?
Zuko: No. I need to move on. Here. (offers him his dagger) I want you to have this.
With Song:
Song: Mushi and Junior, huh? My name is Song. You two look like you could use a good meal. Why don’t you stay for dinner?
Zuko: Sorry, but we need to be moving on.
And with Jin:
Waiter: Excuse me sir. Would you and your girlfriend care for dessert?
Zuko: She is not my girlfriend!
He is sincere, but still awkward and closed off. Frankly, it would be unrealistic to expect him to be otherwise a mere few months later, as he is still recovering from a lifetime of abuse. I know there are people who think Zuko’s character arc was somehow damaged in Book 3, but I disagree with that. Zuko’s arc was never linear, and never supposed to be. That’s what makes it so beautiful.
