So we all know Jason is a huge literature nerd and reads a shit ton in his free time
and since Jason's always on the move, he might not own many books (since he might need to abandon them), like maybe only a few that are his favourites
so i imagine that Jason frequently hangs out at libraries or bookshops in Gotham in order to get his weekly reading in.
Anyways, I headcanon that Jason totally hangs out at his designated library/bookshop but in his full Red Hood gear because he's well known by the librarians and bookstore owners to the point where it's just normal to be chilling at any of these places only to suddenly see this huge 6'0 hunk of armor covered in blood walk in just to sit in a corner and read.
It started out as Jason visiting these places as his civilian identity like a normal person, but one time he came back from patrol and was so tired that he just didn't care what others would think and just walked right into a library without changing and went straight to reading
Gothamites are used to seeing weird shit everyday so obviously they don't bat an eye, and the employees aren't paid enough to deal with this shit so they don't give a fuck, and ever since then, Jason just doesn't bother with his attire anymore.
i like to think Jason can just chill out at these places with a bag of heads and still not be bothered by anyone
Non-Gothamite visiting for the first time: Is-is that the Red Hood?
Bookstore employee who's been here since the beginning of Jason's visits: Yup.
Non-Gothamite: Is uh..Is that allowed?
Employee: You mean reading? Well yeah, I mean this IS a bookstore.
Non-Gothamite: No—yeah I get that..I meant the uh..didn't he decapitate like six crime bosses in one night?
Employee: Seven, but yeah.
Non-gothamite, baffled: but—aren't those dead bodies in the bag next to him..?
Employee, completely unbothered: Oh, those. Well as long as he cleans up his mess before he leaves.
Non-Gothamite:
Jason, completely oblivious to the world around him and enjoying his book: :D
also, Jason totally keeps the libraries and bookstores under his supervision and makes sure that they're protected from villain attacks
sometimes he'll be reading stories to random children who approach him and will end up with a circle of kids listening to him read by the end of the day
also also, sometimes other batkids will join him while in costume and they'll be huddled up in a lil bat pile in a corner reading stories :)
(these are just dumb little thoughts I have. feel free to add!)
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Joey: gazes up thru his lashes at Dick, hesitates for a moment before pulling Dick into an intimate embrace, caresses a hand up Dick's back, tucks his head down so his nose nuzzles Dick's neck, closes eyes and breathes in Dick's scent
Meanwhile Dick: I've not hugged in ten years what do I do

whisper of the heart (1995) dir. yoshifumi kondō
Context: I am a mercenary, and although I can’t reveal what my name is, a rather successful one. I have built up this career through years and years of hard work, and one of the reasons I became so successful is the fact that I see my word as my bond, and as such, I do not break any promises or contracts.
Now, I have a family, and for obvious reasons, I didn’t want them involved in my job, so I kept it a secret from them, even my wife. It went well for a few years, but recently, some enemies of mine found out who they were and kidnapped my youngest son, ‘J’. Naturally, as soon as my wife told me what happened, I told her everything, and we went to rescue my son.
It turns out J was being held hostage, and that they would only let him go if I gave them information about a former client of mine. My wife begged me to submit, but I refused; it would have gone against my code of honor and it would’ve been a massive stain on my reputation, one that I would never recover from. I need this job; it’s one of the only things that keeps me sane, and loosing it was something I couldn’t risk. I told my wife I could save J, and I did, but I wasn’t fast enough to stop his throat from being cut.
Now my wife is mad at me for prioritizing my word/work over my son’s life. As an ex-soldier herself, I feel like she should be able to understand the need to prioritize the job over human life sometimes, but she won’t hear it. AITA?
Edit: to address some questions, yes, I am sure J survived his cut throat, I called the hospital to confirm it.
Edit #2: again, to address some questions, no, I haven’t been to visit my son in the hospital since. I haven’t seen my wife either, since she’s spending her days with him.
Edit #3: MY WIFE FUCKING SHOT MY EYE OUT

COMMUNITY 3x04: Remedial Chaos Theory
With the drop of the new Fantastic Beasts trailer, let's take a moment to remember that JKR:
1. is unequivocally a TERF + openly supports and allies herself with other TERFs
2. uses her massive wealth and platform to fight against trans rights, such that an anti-trans republican senator has cited her controversial essay to block voting on the Equality Act , and
3. has retained so much control over the HP franchise that giving her money (through movie tickets, book sales, official merch, etc) actively enables and contributes to the platform she uses to target vulnerable people
