Randomly remembered childhood pet peeve: when adults would just decide that something you said as a joke or didn't mean as a serious thing was actually something else. And then won't let you tell them that it was a joke.
Like the fuck do you mean, "no it wasn't"? You don't get to decide what someone else's intentions were or what they meant with what they said. Oh fucking excuuuuse me that you decided that something lighthearted that I only meant as something silly and goofy to say was actually a mean-spirited snide remark about your rampant alcoholism. That I would somewhy decide to bring up randomly out of the blue to slam dunk the mood in the whole house into the ground just when everything was chill for once. Why the fuck would I even bring it up like that, I'm eight years old.

I have no recollection of where I learned this, but when you've got two herds of cows and need to combine them - like you already had your own cows and then buy another whole herd from a market or something, idk how that works - you can't just put them on the same pasture and let them sort it out by themselves all at once. At first you put them in one by one.
You start with the lead cow of the smaller herd, there's always one cow that's the most dominant one in the group, and you put her in the bigger herd. If she was tough enough to establish herself as the head and commander of the first herd, she'll be tough enough to stand up for herself and establish herself in the new herd. And once she has settled in and found her own place in the new herd, you bring in the first one's best friend. It would be a bit too much of a stretch to call this one the "second in command" of the smaller herd, but cows tend to have buddies and this is the one who's the lead cow's closest friend that she hangs out with.
And since the cow that had first been introduced to the big herd has already established herself and found her own place in their ranks, she's definitely making sure that nobody fucks with her homegirl, that's her bestie and none of the original cows better have a problem with her. And after they have accepted the second cow, you keep introducing them in one by one and then two or three at a time, going down the smaller herd's ranks, until the lowest cows that none of the other ones really like are let in as the last ones.
Anyway I don't have any particular point with this, I'm just explaining this because I have no memory of where I would have heard or read this, or did I just fucking hallucinate it. But it sounded sensible enough and I don't know enough about cows to dispute it, so I've never felt the need to question that.

Oh you're "the funny one"? You enjoy causing others to suffer? You laugh at other people's pain? You view everyone else as your playthings and you don't care at all about a single soul in the circus?
Then why did you immediately apologize after accidentally taking a life off of her?

If I see one more take online that’s like ‘oh Clark crashed out over Krypto being gone bc he knew Kara would beat his ass’ I’m gonna crash out.
HE CRASHES OUT OVER THE DOG BECAUSE HES A DOG. HES INNOCENT. HE DOESNT DESERVE TO BE KIDNAPPED AND TORTURED. HE CRASHES OUT OVER THE DOG FOR THE SAME REASON HE TAKES THE TIME TO SAVE THAT SQUIRREL: BECAUSE SUPERMAN/CLARK KENT IS A GOOD PERSON.
He tells us. Point fucking blank. That he does everything he can to find Krypto bc “he’s alone… and probably scared.” The way he reacts to Krypto’s kidnapping is another way for them to establish his character as a complete boyscout. A do-gooder. Are we so cynical that we can’t even accept that at face value?? That we have to come up with ulterior motives??
EDIT: yes I know some people said this as a joke. My problem is not with those people, enjoy your jokes. This is about the people who were being serious. And yes, those people exist.

I feel that Guy (and to a lesser degree Hawk-girl) are kinda overshadowing Metamorpho’s appearance in the defence of Jarunpur’s civilians from the attacking army.
Because those two are there because they were asked to be. (Offscreen but Superman says he called them in)
Superman had no way to contact Metamorpho. Neither did Lois. (Mr Terrific might have since he puts tracking nanites in everyone but he’s a bit occupied with the planet being torn apart by a dimensional portal)
Metamorpho was watching the news. He saw a bunch of helpless people about to be attacked and that they put their trust in Superman to save them, most notably a child with a flag.
A man he’s spent the last few days/hours basically torturing (not willingly but that’s what he was doing) yet that man still helped save his child. He knows Superman is depleted and probably can’t make it even if he tries his hardest.
So Metamorpho goes to help those people instead. And he helps save lives
Because of Superman. And Malik

Try not to think about Malik "Mali" Ali giving Superman a hand while all the other bystanders focused on filming him with their phones.
Try not to think about Mali, despite clearly and understandably being horrified at the moment of the revelation, standing up for Superman even after most of the world turned their back... and even with a literal gun to his head.
Try not to think about Mali giving reassurance that he has nobody who'll miss him... and Superman showing that not only at least one person will miss him; that one person will ensure that the whole world knows about a humble falafel vendor who always did the right thing.

Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :


The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !

I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️
