Young Justice: The Jukebox

Wally West/Artemis Crock  and   Dick Grayson/Zatanna Zatara

All you need to know about me as a DC fan is that it’s literally these two panels that dragged me back in to a franchise that I’d sworn off 10+ years ago and kept away because I was so mad:

Dick Grayson flying tackle hugging his dad, while Bruce is like WTF after his emotionally constipated speech about how proud of Dick he is and absolutely zero reflexes to stop this like this man has been flying tackle hugged before, and then “I love you, dad.” This is what it would look like if you looked into my hamster ball brain right now, just these panels on a loop. That soul-deep sigh of defeat you hear just now is me letting go of a decade’s long vendetta against DC’s constant hard/soft reboots and undercutting of everything that was fun.  I cannot resist this relationship, this is my kryptonite, you give me Batdad and Batson hugging and I’ll cave like wet cardboard. You got me, DC.  You got me really good.  I’m checking out 50 comics from the library right now.  [softly, but with feeling:  Fuck]

- Peeta and I grow back together -

The Hunger Games epilogue is emotional in so many ways that I forgot so many details until I re-read the series this week. In the book of memories that Katniss makes, among all her and Peeta's memories of the games and the victors and district 12, Haymitch asks her to add every single tribute he mentored and lost ever since he won his own games. Earlier in Mockingjay, Katniss tells him something along the line of "you closed yourself off to everyone until Peeta and I came into the picture" and he neither confirmed nor denied. And while it is obvious that he loves Peeta and Katniss like his own kids, this one line in the epilogue tells me he didn't close himself off as much as he wanted to. He remembered all 46 children the Capitol put under his care only to witness them horribly die. Most of them were from the Seam, just like he was. All of them had families waiting for them, all of them wanted to survive. He remembered them and asked Katniss to write their stories and described them so Peeta would draw them, so that even if history books don't deem them important enough to remember, someone will.

Also while Everlark get married and have kids, he raises geese in his backyard. I think that's also important.
