Luke's Monologue Hits So Much Harder Since They Spent Literally The Whole Season Emphasizing How Unfair

I know a lot has happened in today's leak and I don't want to be one of those people who focus only on their favorite character, but this issue was honestly so infuriating. This "angry arrogant brat who puts his father on a pedestal" portrayal of Damian is soooooo fucking outdated, has Zdarsky even picked any Damian's comic from the last 8 years?

Have you read the first issue of B&R 2023 last month? Damian was slamming his door on Bruce's face each time he tried making small talk with him, Robin 2021? Bruce was literally chasing Damian and begging for his forgiveness for an entire year? There's really no logical reason why Damian would be so fiercely protective of Bruce or passionately fight on his side, especially considering how Bruce is currently acting, but to have him be so aggressive and condescending toward the others is so regressive and degrading toward his character.

Like I know Tim is his favorite, we can tell by how he had Bruce listing all the things that make Tim better than the other Robins as well as having Tim literally descending in an angelic light to save Bruce just a couple of issues ago, but Damian's cameo in this was so unnecessary and probably happened so that Tim's writers can once again make Tim look good by putting other characters down.

But hey, they had Tim hugging Damian at the end so lets all aww at their "brotherism" and ignore everything else.

This is canon 😭😭😭

the fact the percy IMMEDIATELY apologized after scratching Luke was so perfect; just to show how much he didn't want to hurt Luke bc he still wants to trust him, to believe theres still good in him. And then Luke turning right around and striking back at a literal 12 yo with such aggression just goes to show how different they are

Ao3 is down I'm going to fucking kill myself, which I'd really rather not because that will activate like 5 different suicide pacts, which will in turn aclimate like 23 more suicide pacts which will turn into a whole suicide pact chain reaction and I just think that'd be kind of messy is all

Love always,

Percy seeing the Perseus statue who’s also holding medusa is fucking everything. this show is gonna be perfect. DISNEY PAY YOUR WRITERS

my biggest fear in life is being remembered as my deadname. not just like as in being remembered by that name, but being remembered as the person that i pretend to be. i don't want my one mark on the world to be some fake shell, i need to know that i will be remembered as someone who was unabashedly themselves, who didn't care what people said when they came out, who grew and didn't just sit there doing nothing.

Turning older than your favorite fictional characters feels like a completely impossible and mind blowing experience
