beryl hutchinson reading list/guide

(being an introduction and reading guide to dc comics character BERYL HUTCHINSON, squire ii / knight iii / baby british batman / underratedly tragic child)

who is beryl, and why do i care?

The short answer is that Beryl is a character with powers that tell her how best to communicate with other people, and she uses them for things like this:

Beryl: Reckon your dad would be proud? There’s people watching. Bloody stand up.

(It was what he needed to hear! I’m serious.)

But, uh. Beryl is part of the extended Batfam cast, a member of Batman Inc. who, over twenty years of irregular appearances, has accumulated a backstory I think is really, really interesting. She is a (British) Robin who saves her (British) Batman from the fog of grief and self-destructive ruin, only to later watch him die in front of her. She’s a teenage girl who takes on her mentor’s mantle at what has to be a terrifyingly young age, and becomes a mentor and leader of other vigilantes in turn. She’s a fixer, a deeply compassionate person who cares about other people, but also isn’t afraid to tell you off when she thinks you deserve it. She is magnificent and I love her dearly.

(Explainer and reading list follow, below.)

i would buy officially licensed tumblr shoelaces staff really missed out on a golden opportunity with their new merch store

tumblr is a site that, by tradition, you do not discuss using in public, let alone plaster on your body. however the subtlety of shoelaces combined with the comedy of the Bit would make that specific item worth it

We're exclusively selling them to the president. If you want them you'll have to get them the hard way.

It's been hours and I'm still stuck with Brennan and Lou being like:

"i will play this for Erika" with the immunity token

Both voting Raph out

"everyone has played d20, but there are some of us that are of the dome, and us dome folks stick together"

Like, they knew they were not gonna let Erika win, they wanted to be the last two standing, so it wouldn't matter if it was Erika or Raph, and yet, they did that

the thing that kills me about this is that they controlled the vote - they didn't NEED to use the idol for erika! they just both had to vote for raph! so using the idol was just about making sure erika knew she was on their team and dome folks stick together! which, when paired with erika's confessional about her winning because she got to spend time with her friends, is truly beautiful!
