I should start making call-out posts about myself. I'd get a bunch of people who hatefollow me AND people who defend me from my accusations.

It's the perfect crime

“What do you mean the tower is gone? Are you sure you’re in the right place? I actually used more colorful words than that,” Brett Elmore recounted to NBC News. “He said there’s wires all over the ground and the tower is gone.”

I love that Jimmy Olsen is exactly the type of photographer Peter Parker pretends to be. Just bat-shit insane.

Whenever someone asks Peter how he took a picture he's like "Oh! I uh-, climmed a flagpole. Totally"

And very mortal, normal-human Jimmy is like "See, Clark, is not that weird"

I mean, look at this nutjob.

The world could be ending, lava on the streets and Jimmy would be out there photographing away. No powers, no sense of self preservation. Just khakis, a camera and a dream.

I like to imagine Peter meeting Jimmy and immediately being mortified about it.

Jimmy: –and so luckily I was able to take the picture before the building collapsed on me... Superman was super pissed at me but, photographer to photographer, it was totally worth it.

Peter: Right, no– See, this is actually my first time hearing how fucking insane that sounds. No wonder people at work look at me weird.

setting up a tiny detail in one chapter to pay it off in the next few chapters feels sooo devious like oooh i can't wait to write the small little reference here that 70% of readers will miss but 30% of readers will cheer for

(Lesbian OP) "women are more attractive than men"

(The replies)

"Hey, I'm a man and this hurt me worse than anything else in the world. My wife left me this morning and this post was my final straw. I'm standing in my bathtub right now with a pistol in my mouth and it's your fault you bitch. You bitch. You cunt bitch"

"Aaaaand this right here is why everyone hates lesbians."

"What about trans men????? You're saying you hate trans men??? You're saying you want all trans men to kill themselves??????????"

"Hey op this is a lil uhhh....yikes! Just a reminder from your friendly neighborhood Cheese Goblin™️ that people of ALL genders and sexual orientations are attractive. MEN ARE VALID. MEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. MEN ARE LOVED. Sexism towards men will NEVER be okay, and if you disagree you can fuck right off *gif from Good Omens*

i have zero empathy for little boys being misogynists. i was a kid too, but my focus was towards drawing and reading, not hating on minorities.

‎I've seen a persistent trend in the fandom of portraying Cassie Sandsmark as a queer girl struggling with internalized homophobia or emotional repression. And honestly, that just doesn't align with her backstory, environment, or personality.‎‎

Cassie was raised by Helena Sandsmark, a strong, independent, open-minded woman. She's not a repressive or conservative figure — quite the opposite. Helena has always supported her daughter, even when Cassie’s life drastically changed upon entering the mythological world of the Amazons.‎

On top of that, Cassie was trained by Diana of Themyscira, a canonically bisexual woman who embodies free love, respect for identity, and sisterhood.‎ She was also guided by Artemis Grace, another powerful, unapologetically bisexual figure.‎‎

Are we really supposed to believe that Cassie, raised around powerful, loving queer women, would grow up feeling shame or guilt about her identity if she were queer?‎‎

If Cassie were a lesbian, she would be confident, proud, and surrounded by support. There’s no narrative foundation for painting her as a broken girl who hates herself for who she loves. That trope doesn’t belong to her.‎‎

Now, a character who does fit that narrative is Cissie King-Jones.‎ Cissie was raised by Bonnie, a mother who projected her own frustrations onto her daughter, pressured her to be perfect, and micromanaged her public image.‎ That’s the kind of environment where repression, guilt, and fear of rejection could realistically take root.

If we’re going to talk about internalized homophobia, Cissie has the context, the trauma, and the canon support for it.‎‎ Cassie doesn’t.

‎She doesn’t need that kind of pain to validate her identity. Not every queer character has to suffer through self-hatred. ‎Sometimes, they just grow up in a healthy environment. And that’s valid too.‎‎

PS: If Cassie were queer, she'd be bisexual or pansexual (that's my headcanon and I’m standing by it).‎ She could even be polyamorous — and yes, that’s also crossed my mind, especially because the bond within the core four really lends itself to that kind of reading.‎

I got so used to writing long-form fiction that I forgot that people consider 'i wrote a book' to be a really big deal.

So when tge new part timer was telling me that he writes science fiction shorts and that he's placed in like... competitions for it i was like.. 'shit no way, thats dope! I don't think any of my books could win an award.'

"Books... books plural?"

"Yeah, I wrote a few."

"How many is a few?"

"...uhhhh... eight? But like the first three don't count because I hadn't found my voice yet. And one of them is an instruction book, and another is really just a very long rant. So I guess like three."

"YOU WROTE EIGHT BOOKS?"

"Well I mean they're self-published, so its not like they went through a traditional publishing process."

"So you did the whole process by yourself?"

"Well its easier now with print on demand."

"Let me guess- you designed the covers by yourself, too."

"....okay so youre gonna laugh...."

i hate when a piece of kids media is so well made that people start saying "clearly this was made FOR adults not for silly little babies. we are the true target demographic" like cmon man. you don't have to pretend it's something it isn't. sometimes things that are made for 12 year olds are good.

Doofenshmirtz is kind of proof that you can, in fact, make one of the funniest characters out there by throwing shit at the wall.

He’s a supervillain, he’s amicably divorced, he was raised by ocelots, his evil ambitions only stretch as far as taking over the tri-state area, he’s in a romantically-coded/joked about rivalry with a sentient platypus, he’s a good dad, he once lost a fight with a potted plant, he was forced to be a lawn gnome. But most importantly, he never gives up.

This is the end result of anti-trans propaganda: more harassment of girls and women, more policing of gender roles, more gender McCarthyism.
