booktok did ruin a lot of romance novels bc of the demand for instant gratification but culturally it is kind of a slay that so many young women are just reading smut and masturbating all day #respect

What's even the point of Avengers: Doomsday if there isn't a scene where Bucky, who is delirious from getting his ass beat, mistakes Sam for an angel?

What's even the fucking point?

I was really sad when I died and came back and everyone around me thought I came back wrong but really I was just me

There are a couple of things about current shipping culture that confuse me.  

1. The focus on whether or not a pairing will become canon as a reason people should ship something or not.  Do you not understand what the “transformative” part of “transformative works” means?”

2. This idea that saying “I ship that” means “I think that, as presented in canon,this is a perfect, healthy relationship that everyone should model their relationship after.” 

Sometimes shipping something does mean that.  Sometimes shipping something means “Person A is a trash bag who doesn’t deserve person B but I would love to explore how Person A might grow to deserve Person B.” Sometimes it means “I want these characters to live together forever in a conflict free domestic AU.”  Sometimes it means “I want Person A to forever pine after Person B.  Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.”  And sometimes it just means you like their faces and want to see Person A and Person B bone in various configurations and universes.

Major bummer that "emotional brick wall/hyper-masculine" Jason ended up as some of the prevailing characterizations because both of those things are like notably not things that he particularly is. The closed-off thing I understand (outside of Lobdell's characterization) to be an extension of general bat-family behavior, which is an extension of general Bruce behavior, bc in everything pre-Lobdell he's just trying and trying to form bonds and even post-Lobdell its the less prevalent of the two, but I have trouble pinning down the hyper-masculinity. I think realistically (beyond questionably-written stuff like NW:BIB) it's probably a mix between his physical appearance of being a big strong man, the pragmatism-centric Red Hood identity, and being mean/punk and seen as more hotheaded/violent than the others due to the killing (with the aterisk that his hand to hand fighting style isn't actually much more brutal than any other bat,) but idk I feel like we're overplaying it a little. I'm not saying he's the fem-est beast to walk the earth, I'm definitely not getting into Jason-is-woman-coded discourse, but. He's referred to as a drag queen (derogatorily) at one point, every worthwhile platonic connection he has outside of Bruce and Dick (and as of N52, Roy, which isn't done well but something that would have potential imo if it wasn't done awfully) is with a woman, he takes a recurring interest in victorian culture/fashion, he tends to be REALLY theatrical, is emotionally open as much as he's emotionally self-aware (which is still more than most bats, even if it's the lowest of bars,) and cries like, a noticable amount, none of which super gives tropey macho meathead. And although gendering personality traits is arbitrary and pointless, I could get it if he actually had any real stereotypically masculine interests (besides weaponry,) or was a gym bro, or one of the guys, but he isn't, really. You know who is sporty with a close friend group of other men? Tim Drake, who never gets hypermasculine allegations despite that. And I'm not saying Tim should get them, I just think it's a little weird that Jason does so much!

My kingdom for a “Jason goes home early instead of doing utrh” fic but it’s canon compliant and he either finds that his room has been cleared out or that the manor has been rebuilt after the earthquake and the room that was his is either empty or not there anymore
