WHO IS USING THIS
AN APP??? THEY HAVE A FUNCTIONING WEBSITE
THE LAST FUNCTIONING WEBSITE
father how i've longed to see you!
love the way wind breaker takes its time fleshing out sakura's development every arc— his character in general, especially when it comes to how his past experiences have shaped him to be the person the makochi folks meet, and the person he's becoming with the help of their love and guidance.
(sakura-centric ramble incoming)
except for hints here and there, there is no expository backstory reveal as of yet — the way we got the one for umemiya — but from his monologues alone, and the way his friends notice the little things that reveal how deep-rooted his issues are, that regardless of whatever the specifics are, they (and the readers, by extension) can tell this is a child who has been neglected and abused for a long time. because. you don't always need a 'backstory reveal' to know what is already being revealed through his actions and his reactions — it's. all. in. the. little. things. it's 'show don't tell' done right, and so right it really squeezes those tears out of your eyes, ahah.
his flustered reaction to even the slightest of warmth and kindness. the way he doesn't know how to use chopsticks or a spoon. till bofurin, the only 'contact' he had on his phone was the weather, that was literally all he used his phone for. isolation induced hyper-independence to the point that he's never felt the warmth of another person's touch except for fights.
and fear, that intense fear that paralyses him at the thought of being rejected by his classmates, because this is the first time he's letting people in; the constant, constant fear that haunts him as he tries his best to adjust to this new, loving and warm environment he's found himself in.
his living condition — the small dingy and empty room — in itself a blaring metaphor for his desolate mental state. just like suo says it in his smartphone analogy, sakura has had to fend for himself for so long that now that he finally has people who care for him, he does not know what to do with all that love and affection and trust and goodwill. it's all so, so foreign to him, and that's what scares him so much, and it's just so heartbreaking.
(heartwarming too because now he's truly found a family who won't leave his side no matter what, who are there to help him learn what it's like to love and be loved. augh)
that's why i love it all the more how they are all so straightforward and direct in displaying their affection for sakura— be it the playful teasing, their compliments, or the more emotional moments where they let him know he's not alone. because he needs that. for someone who has spent his whole life being rejected and denied, now that he has found people who love him, he needs that constant assurance spelled out to him.
this panel right here. is the most precious thing ever
Me and my friend working on a joint blog on my computer.
Me: I'm going onto tumblr on my phone. Because tiny tumblr is different from big tumblr.
Broke: everyone fights over whose Batman’s favorite
Woke: everyone fights over whose Dicks favorite bc Dick isn’t an emotionally stunted loser (I shit talk Bruce so much but I love him, he’s just also a loser) and trying to get in the bats favor is like trying to catch sand in a sieve
————
Damian: obviously I’m Graysons favorite I was his Robin
Tim: dude I was the first Robin he trained and we still talk every day I am 100% the favorite
Steph: fuck you! You disappeared off the the face of the earth when he was Batman I was actually here I’m 100% the favorite everyone knows Wing loves me.
Jason: Dick willingly went to Gotham to spend time with me even when he was mad at Bruce. Has Dick ever been in Gotham when he was mad at Bruce for you guys? No? Didn’t think so?
Damian: ….
Steph:…
Tim: that’s because you sucked so much he thought you’d get blown up trying to have to bludhaven.
Jason: oi! Low blow, you can’t use a man’s death against him
Damian: shut up we’ve all died before
Steph: you literally said you were allowed to break Tim’s laptop bc you died b4
Jason: yeah it’s MY DEATH I can use it how I want
Tim: we really gonna call your 14yr old 4’7 self a man?
Cass: he helped me train when B rejected me I’m the favorite
Tim: you can’t be Dicks favorite you’re already Bab’s favorite those are the only 2 likable older members of the family. (They’ve decided Alfred doesn’t count since he’s legally not allowed to have favorites)
Dick: Duke is my favorite
Damian: what?
Tim: how?
Jason: this shit is rigged
Steph: What?? You barely spend time with him?
Duke who has been eating popcorn quietly this whole time:???
Dick: he doesnt steal my suit and murder people
Jason: …
Dick: or tell his friends I threatened to send him to Arkham when I told him to get therapy
Tim:…
Dick: or break into my apartment at 3am because he can’t communicate with his father
Damian:…
Dick: or make me believe he flatlined on the operating table
Steph: …
Dick: or tell me he can’t meet up for a bust because he’s too busy fighting Wonder Woman a hero we work with over text with no context and then go AWOL for 5 days
Cass:…
Dick: or overload his plate with 50 million things I will have to come in and help with
Everyone:
Steph: he started a cult tho??
Dick: was it before or after he was fostered bc if it was before it’s. Not. My. Problem.
Duke: I’m the favorite???
Dick: also I feel like if I died you’re the most likely to take over my duties and not go on a quest for vengeance or try to clone me or put me in the Lazarus pit.
Jason: ID NEVER PUT you in the Lazarus pit…. No comment on the rest tho.
Tim: ditto
Damian: meh you are superior to Todd and he’s relatively functional post the pit I don’t see the issue here.
Steph raising hand: I wouldn’t-
Dick: or help TIM do it
Steph lowering hand:
Dick: plus you have a parent so I don’t have to do 80% of the child rearing while giving Bruce credit
Duke still a little star stuck bc that’s nightwing: IM THE FAVORITE.
"I headcannon Dick as manipulative" you and the writers of Nightwing babe

Conservatives are waking up to the grift.
An important PSA to remember!

Bro I fucking love the DB Cooper case nothing about this whole situation sounds real. None of the passengers on the plane realized they were being hijacked until the plane landed two hours after it was supposed to and the fbi showed up with suitcases full of money. The note about the bomb almost went unnoticed because the flight attendant thought she was being sexually harassed so she didn't read it. One of the main suspects was the first trans woman in Washington to have a sex change operation. A reporter who was so dead set on his suspect that he brought him to court was so upset about being wrong that he went catatonic and was treated with electroshock therapy and it WORKED. There's been multiple "I'm DB Cooper" death confessions. He never even SAID his name was DB Cooper. Either he got away with a million bucks in today's money and the most iconic and harmless crime American history or he impaled himself on a pine tree while falling a zillion miles an hour in the dark while clutching duffel bags full of cash and either option is equally hilarious. He wore a clip on tie. He committed an act of sky piracy. What in the fucking looney toons
