today marks another birthday for this sweet, wonderful, kind, and amazing creature that goes by the name Żmija. nearly popping out in the fall, but with her heart as hot and impatient as the sun of july morning, she rushed for the last days of summer where she truly belongs - so of course, a summertime portrait it is :-)
wishing you the happiest and most love-filled of celebrations, @slavicafire -from yours truly and yours forever :-)

... Will you guys please let me talk about hgduo/gossipduo/mockingjays/ whatever they are called a little more pleaseeeeeeeeee, they make me unwell and I want to get my thoughts about them out of my head- or more specifically about them from Bad's point of view!
There's a familial air to it, but it's just not true to define it like that- and that doesn't make what they DO have any less powerful or significant- They have a unique bond and that continues to be true, even during painful times like this.
Cellbit WAS Bad's responsibility at one point, and that time came and went- he got him through the war and into adulthood ( aka 18 years old or close to it.) They meet again as old friends and generally respect each other as such... but even so Bad can't deny he still feels some duty to watch over the man once he starts crumbling- much like how Cellbit as well can't help but reach out to Bad during this time.
but there's limits.
like- Bad for years had and still wants to protect Cellbit, he's had an influence on him, he taught him how to survive, he himself acknowledges he has some responsibility over Cellbit, looking at Cellbit right now feels like looking in a mirror, he doesn't like having to give up on him, but if it's between him and the kids he's choosing the kids every time... and he knows there is no simple way to save someone who refuses to let themself be saved.
And it hurts! It hurts seeing Cellbit like this! It hurts having to let him burn! It hurts watching someone he cares for falling down the same path he is! It hurts knowing he's hurting others the way it did for him seeing Cellbit like this! It hurts having to choose his kids over his protege/ student/ former responsibility/ the kid he watched over years ago/ old friend/ his 'something'!
Like, cc!Bad brought up this internal mental tier list that q!Bad has- I still deeply believe that q!Cellbit is quite high up there even if he'll never be at the level his kids are at- like he loves Cellbit enough that he ACTUALLY CONSIDERED putting parts of his months long plan at risk to save him- even if it was just during the stress of that moment that still means a LOT from Bad- but he was always going to choose his kids in the end!
Based on what I know of q!Bad (which is admitably not a lot lol) there is next to nothing that'd convince him to give up on his kids- with Cellbit he's able to see that he can't help him because Cellbit sadly does not want to be saved- and for Bad that means he simply has to accept it even if he really doesn't like it- the emotions from that night have processed and he's looking at the situation from a more logical and resolute perspective. If it means him and Cellbit may one day clash, then with a heavy sigh so be it....
but if it was Dapper or Pomme... I just don't feel certain in saying he'd be able to come to that conclusion, especially not after one night. Even if it would be the 'smart' thing to do. It's one of the key differences between the dynamic he has with them vs Cellbit...
But, in a perfect situation, he would've done everything to save them both.
Anyway thanks for reading, posting this at hell hours so my beloved mutuals won't see my hgduo ramblings but tagging this anyway for other people to see LMAO-

I really want to see an edit or something of that quote
"...Left to his own devices would undoubtedly go down the same criminal road that took his father to an early death."
Over Jason as the Red Hood and the Death in the Family cover
(Quote from Batman #410)
Yeah that quote is representative of Bruce’s coping mindset (he was always doomed etc. etc.), but I’d have it juxtaposed with probably my favorite robin Jason quote of all time, “You’ve taken me out into combat. But you spare me this?” (Batman #411). That’d be more accurate to their dynamic. Bruce is notorious for withholding things from people who trust him as he sees fit, and that cutting quote is also said behind Jason’s back. What Jason says comes an issue later, but it’s still an accurate jab at Bruce’s hypocrisy. You lead me into the battlefield. Even as a kid, Jason (unknowingly) says exactly the right thing to his old man.
Maybe I’m being picky but Imo that design alone preaches the “Bruce was always right about Jason being doomed” concept dc keeps trying to push. His death had nothing to do with his criminal past (which again, he was an orphaned child living in poverty trying to survive outside the flawed foster care system). In his final moments, Jason was a grieving kid seeking parental love and acceptance who naively trusted the wrong person. Vengeance had no role.
And if we’re pigeon-holing Red Hood as a criminal, what does that make Batman? Bruce and every other vigilante is a “criminal” by technicality. None of what they do is legal. But why did Jason go down a *criminal* road, who lead him down that path instead of the path to healing (despite having connections and access to better alternatives)? Who trained him and encouraged him to take his anger out by dealing out vengeance. Willis was just trying to pay the bills, but for Bruce this destructive lifestyle was one of many options, and it’s the one he chose for the kids too. And to quote him directly from aditf, it was the “obvious choice” above Jason.

It started out as a silly joke, but now whenever I have new guys I like I make goo emoji's of them and that's just become like my thing.
I'll post some of the others eventually I'm sure, but here's a sheet of Hatogoo that never got properly emoji'd. They're free to use, but I'd ask you credit where appropriate and asked ofc.
