watch me end up making a superdad au coz of WTNS

because!!! because i was thinking about how funny it is that Bruce's first two kids (Dick and Danny) would be superman fans, and how funny it would be if that influenced his opinion on Superman when they first met. And then I got to picking that apart, and how Danny's opinion and feelings on Superman would have the bigger impact on Bruce than Dick, since Dick's admiration for Superman (presumably) comes from the standard little kid "he's an alien and he can FLY" (and flying graysons) stuff. Which, while very very cute, is easy to ignore and disallow swaying feelings on.

But DANNY? It's not the same. While part of Danny's admiration comes from the same "holy shit he's an alien and can fly thats so COOL" vein, it also comes from a place of feeling deeply relatable to him. Both he and Superman were/are perceived as incredibly powerful, deeply dangerous creatures that are nigh impossible to stop, they have a handful of powers that are similar to one another, and they are (one of) the only ones of their kind. Superman is (one of) the last Kryptonian, Danny is (one of) the only Liminal in existence, and they might not be the same species but the principle remains the same and they're in the same boat.

As a result, Danny would just, god, he'd find so much relation in that. And yeah they're not the same but Superman would make him feel just a little less alone, a little more seen, and he'd find so much comfort in that.

And Bruce, by the time he meets Superman, would know by then about Danny's powers and his experiences and his time as Phantom and as a Liminal. And it's easy to ignore your kid's admiration for another Superhero when it stems from a place of plain hero worship or simple appreciation. It's harder to ignore it when your kid admires a Superhero because they make them feel seen and relate to them on a level you can't reach them on.

When that's the reason, how could he not think differently about Superman? When, by then, he's seen the scars left on Danny's body from all of his fights; when he's seen him cry and break down over never being able to fly again thanks to the blood blossom poison; when he's heard all about the struggles he faced with his powers, the fear he had about being found out, the fear he had when he was first developing them; and how he was ostracized by his city for his efforts just because he wasn't human, despite how much he was just trying to help.

How could he not look at Superman when they first meet, mask-to-mask, and have a little voice in the back of his mind go: 'my kid is a lot like you'

its making me emotional. if these feeligns persist im going to end up making a superdad au

hi! i am drawing a graduation composition in art school with a scene of a hound hunt. is it possible to draw machete and vasco there? :)

If you're certain that it goes well with the assignment and it won't affect your grading in any negative way, then sure!

If you end up including them, please let me know! I'd love to see the finished piece :>

I was thinking about my warrior, Maghek, and though that she probably wouldn't concern herself with that. And I got curious about what others would say about it for their norns

[becauseplot]

since so many of us got cucurucho and s/a-rank worker for the qsmp.global quiz, is anyone else thinking the quiz is biased to specifically favor those results? because like. that is SO many people getting higher-ranking results. might be best to wait and see if the trend continues as more people take the quiz but like, does no one else think that's suspicious?? idk what this could be trying to imply but my tiny little ant brain is making loud-ass exclamation marks at it. so.

i'll write a more in-depth post later, but imo one of the reasons for the level of disagreement in this fandom is that many of us readers can see what mxtx is trying to imply about ethics through her work and simply do not agree with her base premise. like i think that there are some conclusions about the various characters in mdzs that mxtx wants you as the reader to draw. you can kind of tell even if you don't agree with those conclusions. more importantly, though, you can also tell exactly what kind of moral philosophy mxtx (consciously or unconsciously) favors, and what she treats as the granularity of morality, so to speak. the most commonly-held positions in the fandom are those mxtx intends for the reader to reach using her own beliefs about ethics as fundamental axioms.

the problem, then, is when the reader does not agree with mxtx's unspoken axioms of morality. if you come into mdzs with a moral framework different enough from what mxtx has (consciously or unconsciously) used to write mdzs, then of course you're going to come to different conclusions regarding the characters or even the object lessons of the story.

or rather, in simpler terms: the rammies, mxtx....the rammies....

Multigender Survey Results Dec 2023: Orientation (part 3)

Orientation + gender

For comparison, of participants overall...

297 identified as fully a man, a boy, and/or male (40.0%)

393 identified as partially a man, a boy, and/or male (52.9%)

53 did not identify as a man, a boy, or male in any capacity (7.1%)

196 identified as fully a woman, a girl, and/or female (26.4%)

417 identified as partially a woman, a girl, and/or female (56.1%)

130 did not identify as a woman, a girl, or female in any capacity (17.5%)

Of the 213 participants who identified as lesbian…

88 identified as fully a man, a boy, and/or male (41.3%)

109 identified as partially a man, a boy, and/or male (51.2%)

16 did not identify as a man, a boy, or male in any capacity (7.5%)

77 identified as fully a woman, a girl, and/or female (36.2%)

126 identified as partially a woman, a girl, and/or female (59.2%)

10 did not identify as a woman, a girl, or female in any capacity (4.7%)

Participants who identified as lesbian were significantly more likely than participants overall to identify as fully a woman, a girl, and/or female (p < 0.01), and significantly less likely than participants overall to not identify as a woman, a girl, or female in any capacity (p < 0.001). They were similarly as likely to identify as fully a man, a boy, and/or male, to identify as partially a man, a boy, and/or male, and to not identify a man, a boy, or male in any capacity as participants overall. This indicates that whether someone identifies as female factors more into their lesbian identity than whether or not they identify as male.

Of the 242 participants who identified as gay…

138 identified as fully a man, a boy, and/or male (57.0%)

98 identified as partially a man, a boy, and/or male (40.5%)

6 did not identify as a man, a boy, or male in any capacity (2.5%)

70 identified as fully a woman, a girl, and/or female (28.9%)

116 identified as partially a woman, a girl, and/or female (47.9%)

56 did not identify as a woman, a girl, or female in any capacity (23.1%)

Participants who identified as gay were significantly more likely than participants overall to identify as fully a man, a boy, and/or male (p < 0.001), and significantly less likely than participants overall to identify as partially a man, a boy, and/or male (p < 0.001) and to not identify a man, a boy, or male in any capacity. There was not a significant difference between the likelihood of participants who identified as gay and participants overall to identify fully as a woman, a girl, and/or female, to identify as partially a woman, a girl, and/or female, or to not identify as a woman, a girl, or female in any capacity. This indicates that whether someone identifies as male factors more into their gay identity than whether or not they identify as female.

Of the 41 participants who identified as straight…

22 identified as fully a man, a boy, and/or male (53.7%)

17 identified as partially a man, a boy, and/or male (41.5%)

2 did not identify as a man, a boy, or male in any capacity (4.9%)

22 identified as fully a woman, a girl, and/or female (53.7%)

16 identified as partially a woman, a girl, and/or female (39.0%)

3 did not identify as a woman, a girl, or female in any capacity (7.3%)

I recreated the main three ghouls from Monster High G1 in GaiaOnline! Clawdeen is my favourite but that might be my Clawdeen bias lol

[canisalbus]

I love the idea of Machete healing some unresolved stuff about himself because he realizes the things he resented about himself when he was younger are traits that Ear has but because he loves Ear it helps him to realize those traits aren't inherently unlovable. Do you think Machete or Vasco would be helicopter parents?

I think a lot of criticisms of the orientalism in cyberpunk end up very shallow because they don't engage with why they are there. and they also miss out on engaging with Japanese cyberpunk's own little orientalist twist

[quizamodo]

what is your highly specific aesthetic?

[annebrontesrequiem]

Literally insane to me how much technology was developed in Asia before it reached Europe in history. Stuff like printing, paper, guns, etc.. It's really kinda crazy to think about

*yeonmi park voice* they have to pay money to troubleshoot video game problems instead of going on a forum and finding the fix within five minutes.
