the weird thing about liking kylo ren for me is that for three years i’ve been reading all these wildly different and often mutually exclusive analyses of him and in all that there have been like maybe two that match up with how i see him

but i can’t offer up my own meta as an alternative bc i’m not even entirely sure how to put the way i see him into Real Words

I’ve seen people complain about kylux shippers justifying themselves by saying they “prefer dark ships” but like. literally the only reason I ship these two is by process of elimination because I think Kylo is an interesting character and Hux is the only direct interaction he has with someone who’s not 1) tortured by him at some point 2) the man who’s been grooming him since childhood or 3) his literal actual parents

I got to thinking about the 1989 Batman movie and I’m honestly not sure whether or not I would’ve preferred having Joe Chill become The Joker over them inventing Jack Napier, Wayne Murderer out of wholecloth

one thing that’s always been really weird to me is that the Joker is based on a preexisting live-action character but none of the live-action jokers have tried to recreate Conrad Veidt’s makeup (Jack Nicholson is imo probably the closest but even then they were somewhat limited in what they could do with him bc Nicholson is allergic to spirit gum)

Marketability aside, I think one reason we keep getting such a disproportionate amount of Batman media is because in general, and especially compared to Superman/Wonder Woman/Aquaman/etc, Batman’s mythos is very low-concept. Sure, occasionally you have some good old fashioned comic book nonsense like Poison Ivy or Ra’s al Ghul. But the most prominent villains-people like Joker, Riddler, Two-Face, Scarecrow, and Penguin-are basically just regular criminals with flashy outfits and elaborate ways of doing their crimes.

This is not to say that Batman is better than the other heroes, just a lot easier to adapt (especially for the Christopher Nolans of the world who want to do ~realistic~ comic book adaptations)

RetJ Family Trees

I did some experimenting with r&j family trees for a fic project I’ve been planning, and I decided to post the results just for the fun of it (with annotations!) I used the Italian translations’ names for the canon characters because I didn’t want them to stick out as much next to my ocs (also, there are some Italian spellings that I prefer over the English, like Mercuzio and Giulietta). If I didn’t explain the origins of a name, odds are it was chosen just because I liked the way it sounded
