detective comics #509
[ID: Bruce Wayne sleeping in his penthouse, his eyes squeezed shut as the narration reads, ‘Gordon's strained laugh sounds hollow, but it echos in the Batman's mind... and haunts his dreams...” Bruce awakens to a hand on his shoulder and before he can think, he's twisting it and holding it down. The panel expands, revealing the hand belongs to Alfred as he's almost toppling over! He cries out, “M-master Bruce—my arm!” as Bruce groggily realizes who it is. He lets go at once as Alfred moves to the end of the bed and holds his arm while stammering an apology, “S-sorry, s-sir... Sorry if I startled you.” Bruce looks at him with aghast as he cries out, “My god, Alfred—I almost broke your arm!” Alfred reasons, “You must have been having a nightmare, sir.” as Bruce sits up and puts his face in his hands. He weepily dismisses, “A nightmare—what kind of an excuse is that? Old friend... forgive me...” Alfred reassures, “Nothing to forgive, sir. Just bad nerves, sir.” END ID]

i can safely state that i can't see how allison hargreeves can be redeemed at least for me. pushing aside her easy dismissal of viktor's bond with harlen (despite the fact that her entire breakdown surrounded having to leave her family from the 60's but i guess that doesn't matter for SHIT when it's other people), and the fact that she acts like harlan's actions led to claire not existing (despite the abysmal chance of her being born even with allison's mom not dying), and that she has this mentality that she suffered worse than her siblings (don't even get me started 🙄), but honestly it was her sexual assault on luther and how the fandom has just easily dismissed it. what's even worse is that she sexually assaulted him by making him believe he wanted it, so there was literally no way it could actually fight back in anyway, physically or mentally. there's something inherently more disgusting about that. in the other seasons, the show balanced having the hargreaves act morally wrong and at times unlikable but still not entirely irredeemable (such as my annoyance towards s1 luther and viktor) and they did get more likable. but i can barely stand the scenes she's in because that gross ass scene keeps flashing in my mind, and her behavior is just so obnoxious ESPECIALLY TOWARDS HARLAN. HARLAN IS LITERALLY THE ONLY AUTISTIC REPRESENTATION I'VE SEEN IN TV AND SHE ACTS SO GROSS AND BITTER TOWARDS HIM FOR HIS "UNPLEASANT" PERSONALITY.
yeah, people are comparing this allison to wanda (i don't even like wanda) but at least wanda didn't sexually assault someone. allisons stans (by this i mean people who justify her actions NOT anyone who finds her arc interesting) dni. being in any proximity to ur dumbasses is bad for my heath (my doctor told me) 😀😀😀😀😀😀

before the rust began to show - pettiot - Peaky Blinders (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
Ambiguously some time post S6-E6 and before Tommy's reappearance.
Tommy left it under that tree, salted and bent, to rust. And from a pile of bodies, four pairs of glass eyes watched.
(‘One woman and three men,’ Constable Johnson said, ‘murdered by a man with a submachine gun, in daylight and before witnesses.)

something i’ve been thinking about lately is like. growing up muslim right after 9/11 is something i’d never really reflected on much because it was all i’d ever known — at 5, my friend’s mum didn’t let her invite me to her birthday party because i was the only brown girl in our class, at 12, my classmates would joke about my family being part of isis, at 16, my dad was interrogated by american airport security for hours — and it always stung and it always hurt but it was just the way things were because the western world hated muslims. but i don’t think i’ve ever fully comprehended the extent to which we were hated until now.
palestine is being turned into a mass graveyard. every single day there are new photos of the atrocities being carried out against them and videos of them pleading for help and still those who can actually intervene turn a blind eye. israel is claiming to only be targeting hamas “terrorists” while bombing a refugee camp. israeli police raided and assaulted a non-zionist jewish neighbourhood. israeli soldiers are posting tiktoks of them torturing captured palestinians. this is not a complicated issue and it never has been. ethnic cleansing is being committed right in front of us. and yet the western world leaders refuse to call for a ceasefire.
and while zionist organisations accuse pro-palestine demonstrations of anti-semitism, while zionist celebrities insist that they’re afraid to leave their mansions in los angeles, a six year old muslim boy was stabbed to death and his mother wounded in the same attack in chicago. a muslim doctor was murdered while sitting outside her apartment complex in texas. hundreds of peaceful protesters have been arrested (many of whom have been jewish). despite what zionists want you to believe, this is not a jewish/muslim conflict. i have so much love and gratitude to my brave jewish brothers and sisters all over the world who are condemning israel for their actions.
ultimately, israel have been granted impunity by the west. they have slaughtered thousands upon thousands of innocent palestinians. they have bombed hospitals and schools indiscriminately. they have used white phosphorus, violating the geneva convention. they have completely eradicated nearly 900 bloodlines. how many more need to be wiped out? how many more children need to be buried underneath the rubble? how many more doctors need to be confronted with the bodies of their own family members? how many more journalists need to detail the horrific acts of violence they are witnessing? what more can be done to the palestinian people that has not been done already?
i truly believe that palestine will be free one day. i believe the palestinian people will receive the justice they finally deserve. but what breaks my heart is how much they have suffered and will continue to suffer before they are deemed worthy of help. and it would be to all of our detriment if we ignored how much of a factor palestine being a predominantly muslim state has played into the way the world has reacted to their genocide.
