#it really is a general statement

no but sock’s overall body language during Jon’s death scene…… the way his eyes dart the way he extends his hands slightly when he starts to fall but hesitates OUUUUGH .

reminder that even if you don't ship batcest you should be upset with DC sanitizing their found families. 🩵

if you like fanfic where the Batfamily is a perfect loving family with no issues, more power to you, but you should still be upset about the current state in canon. because liking something in fanfic is not the same as liking something in canon.

story potential is actively being taken away from us because no one is allowed to have complex feelings about each other. Dick and Bruce aren't allowed their impossible to name relationship, Dick and Jason aren't allowed their love/hate relationship, Dick and Cass aren't allowed to have mutual but different negative feelings about each other, Dick and Babs' relationship has to be squeaky clean, etc. etc.

what's the point of having a group of characters to focus on if they're never allowed to have lasting conflict?

found family should never be forced to follow the heteronormative nuclear family propaganda we've all been fed and yet here we are. Bruce doesn't need to be Dick's dad for it to be understood that Bruce helped form Dick into who he is today. Dick and Jason don't need to be strictly brothers for them to be family. there is more to family than strict labels. especially in the context of queer history.

there is nothing wrong with liking fanon, but letting it be applied to canon without a second thought isn't good for anyone. I promise you that even if you're enjoying this now, it will be detrimental for canon stories.

and before you think to yourself that you don't care about canon anyway, yes you do. these characters wouldn't exist in fanon if not for the fact that canon existed. you might not have read a single comic in your life and never plan to, but you should still care because comics are the only reason you have these characters to begin with.

I have so many more thoughts but I'll end with this. Dick especially will never fit into a picture perfect family according to nuclear family standards because, in his own words, "Nightwing belongs to two families." (he's talking about the Titans here fyi. because the Titans are also family. family that is constantly dating each other.)

i get that it’s fun to be a hater sometimes but personally it’s a pet peeve of mine when people get too pessimistic/negative about something when i think it’s not really necessary and i feel like that can apply to a lot of situations on this side of the fandom. like not to be a hater of haters but i started having a lot more fun once i stopped fixating on every plot hole and worldbuilding decision i didn’t like and i think some of y’all could benefit from that

I was thinking about the fact that with most DCMK characters I use one distinct name for them, but when it comes to Haibara Ai / Miyano Shiho, I'm all over the place. So I wanted to see how other people most commonly refer to her.

There are definitely more options than just these listed but I didn't want to get too verbose / granular. Please feel free to elaborate in the tags to account for my exclusions.

You know how funny I've curated my Tumblr for you page? I'll scroll and right underneath some fluff teaholding post will be your account dissecting how Martin is a terrible character/terribly written and I find this occurance in my life fascinating.

brutal mischaracterisation in one of those two posts and it probably isn't mine.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why people say that The Song of Achilles ruined the way people perceive Achilles and Patroclus because like most of the time when people are making statements about The Song Of Achilles they don't mean it about every interpretation of Patroclus and Achilles to me that feels like comparing Hazbin Hotel to The Bible sure Hazbin Hotel uses the idea of Christianity but I'm sure it's clear to everybody that if they want to actually read the Bible they could like if you want to read The Iliad then read The Iliad this is just a personal opinion but also people saying that Madeline Miller is misogynistic for writing from the perspective of a man in a time where woman were expected to just handle things really miss the point to me it's good writing if you feel like you're reading from the perspective of a man because you are reading from the perspective of a man growing up in a time where women being assaulted is normal "the woman were all props" yeah that's the point that's how women were seen honestly it would have been worse if she didn't show the brutality of a man's thinking back then so many people act like this is a book being told from a completely objective standpoint and Miller is just sitting here telling us her world views when she's writing as a character

anyways ppl with vaginas are amazing and not inherently less than anyone with a penis and if you disagree you can jump off a bridge <3

[xxplastic-cubexx]

kinda funny how marvel tries so hard to give abled charles an iconic design since most people knew him for the yellow hover chair and didn’t care for his suits when he walked until they made him a twig in a black cat suit

literally two types of people in my inbox at all times

everyone talks themselves into a life that suits them best

Sayaka is such a weirdo. To be honest.

[neechees]

I just found out about this apparently Cree Flutist (who is blonde, blue eyed, & looks White) named Lisa Carpenter or "Gentle Thunder" as she calls herself, but its weird bc I can't find anything else about her being Cree besides that she plays Native American instruments, is from Washington (which doesn't exactly have large numbers of Crees) and that she "is of Cree heritage". I hate to be that bitch but I'm kinda wondering if she's just a White Woman who randomly said she was Cree lol

[itissadbutitsmy-artblog]

I think it’s cute if lemongrab can go to wizard city, like the wall lets him in and he's never thought about it before or questioned it, but he doesn’t really exactly grok that he’s A Wizard

he knows that he doesn’t get in trouble for going there, but he knows that some people do. which is kind of a big deal for him

Something that I've noticed since artificially generated images have become a thing, is that I'm more inclined to be bad at art.

I've stopped being such a perfectionist and let my self just make again.

Tech bros want perfectly mass-produced images curated to every single one of their specifications? Well, fuck you. That's not what my art is, and it's never what it will be.

I'm going to keep making my art, so what if the anatomy is a little off, or the head is too small, or the shading makes no sense. It's still my art, and I'm not going to stop.

[pigeon-butch]

I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist
