wilson saying “I need to do this. for you.” is fucking insane actually. in the same episode where house is deciding whether or not he should commit suicide as a result of wilson’s dying. They are each other’s lines between life and death. humans have a biological instinct to preserve their survival at all costs; house has an addiction that governs his life. but they were willing to forgo all of it for one another, because they couldn’t fathom it being any other way.

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.

Smoke looking solemn and being entirely engulfed by the static enormity of the juke (which becomes an embodiement of the church as the night progresses, offering community and protection from outside harm), whereas Stack smiles coyly, playing in the face of the oppressor and framed by the gentle white of the open sky. It really subverts the expectations of who lives and dies by their beliefs and who becomes a vampire.

After you see the movie you understand the enormous tragedy that permeates the narrative, even if the music and framing speak contrarily. They're both standing in front of and before what eventually kills them. This is an open shot in a hopeful moment that is undermined by the intentional suffocation of the protagonists, who can't escape their fate of being either victims of the vampires, the klan, their scheming. or the jim crow and sharecropping lifestyle if they are to survive, regardless. Is there more freedom in death if you can't control how you live? Smoke framed by the juke and Stack standing before the sun, both framed by what does (and eventually will) kill them, but also what they choose to live by.

Mumbo has been shaking the trust between Grian and Skizz since literally the first episode and no one has said anything. He kept telling Skizz that Grian was going to betray them. With the language he uses, he makes himself look like he’s on Skizz’s side. Then, he spends the whole 3rd session with Grian, telling him how they should leave Skizz or kill Skizz or let Skizz die. He says condescending things about Skizz like how he just “makes noises to his death”. Unusually, Grian isn’t even trying to spend time with Mumbo. Mumbo has mostly been following him around uninvited, trying to establish connection. He wants to make it seem like he’s the only one who’s there for Grian. However, when all three of them are together, Mumbo is usually complimenting Skizz, while Grian chastises Skizz. This makes Mumbo out to be the good guy, even though he was feeding Grian ideas about how bad Skizz is as a teammate. He even tells Grian that he’s the only friend Grian needs. This is a common manipulator behavior. The point is to isolate Grian, make Grian’s other friends look lesser than or antagonize them, and make Grian be the one to push them away so that Mumbo doesn’t seem at fault. It’s all about control. He wants to control Grian.

Do you see how that sounds CRAZY. This is how people talk about Scott and Pearl. Mumbo is just being silly with his friends, and Scott deserves that same space without being called the bad guy. I understand that you guys are talking about Scott’s character, but you’re forgetting that Scott is not actively trying to play a character. Do you know how much it sucks to have a silly competition with your friends only to have thousands of people overanalyze your every move and calling you the bad guy for teasing your friends? Do you understand that this is not an analysis of a character so much as of a real person in a competitive environment with a bunch of his friends who he trusts and understands the boundaries of and therefore may tease and chastise more as a joke because he trusts them not to take it the wrong way? Imagine messing around with your friends and everyone starts telling you specifically that you’re manipulating your friends when you tell them not to shout in a library. That’s how people are treating Scott for chastising Pearl and Impulse about antagonizing Gem and Joel. You’re all so forgiving when it’s not Scott, but once this one particular guy is in the hot seat it’s game over. Does it not feel targeted to you?

I'm so sorry for this wall of text I'm about to send you; your post got me fired up.

You're so right about the abused Tim Drake post--sometimes it feels like people want abuse to be Dramatic and so obvious any adult in their right mind would step in, whereas what's going on with Tim in the comics is always something much more insidious. There's this sort of catharsis, I think, being sought in having Tim have such a glaring problem that can so quickly be addressed and resolved, but what the comics depict is more like something that will leave him thinking 1. it wasn't actually that bad, 2. surely all parents are like this (to varying degrees), and 3. even if I felt bad I'm fine now.

I'm literally never going to forget something he said very early on, which was just a mildly annoyed "I never know where they're going or for how long." It's inconvenient to him! He has his needs met (he's being taken care of!! what do you mean alone at 9- no!), he has friends in school, and he's sad because his parents aren't home. And it would sound crazy to say "I think I'm abused because my parents were busy with their jobs," but it's not just that it's the repeated subtle dismissal of his interests, it's the uninvolvement in his life with no clear plans to fix it or give replacement parental figures, it's how he knows so little about them! That's not even touching stuff after Jack wakes up, just Jack and Janet pre-incident.

And I do think that personal experience really helps in figuring this one out, because (as I've learned), subtle forms of abuse like this are not actually the norm, which means the majority of fans have not been in this sort of position. When people project their own feelings onto Tim but they're coming from a place of translation (turning, say, an experience with bullying) as opposed to transposition (taking one's own experiences with neglectful parents), there ends up being some wild takes because parents have enormous amounts of power over their children; everything is magnified.

I want to believe that it's naivety because that's the nicer option, but sometimes I worry that people simply don't believe that emotional abuse and neglect are real abuse unless there's something worse going on. A comparison I like that people never get unless they've lived it: people can understand that it's cruel to have customer service workers have to behave, to be kind and polite even when customers are bossy, rude, and wrong, so why is it somehow it's hard to grasp that it's cruel to ask a child (a child!) to behave, to be kind and polite in the face of a parent that is acting like the worst kind of customer? Do they think the kid can just act out without consequence?

This has been quite long, but in short: you're right about Tim Drake. I think it does a disservice to him (and to real people) to treat him like the world's punching bag in fandom. I hope you find some catharsis in him.

(I'm sending this anonymously because I also have first hand experience and don't want this traced back to me, sorry).

i agree with everything you said and i'm actually so grateful you sent this because it's helped me organize my own thoughts on the issue. you're so right — i think in the end the issue is that a lot of people are just. not able to comprehend that abuse and neglect are not that obvious, and it turns into this thing where, if someone is an abuser, they must be Cartoonishly Evil. so we end up with this strange dichotomy of extremes where people either believe that tim was a totally-or-mostly fine latchkey kid and the abuse is made up by fandom, or that the drakes abandoned their kid at 8 years old and only came back home every 6 months to smack him around. neither of those things is true, but both of them are easy to understand.

neglect, especially emotional neglect of children, is not very obvious, and then when you combine that with the context of when tim's early comics were written (re: latchkey generation), it's very easy to just say that welllll tim was actually fine. especially if you haven't read many or any of the relevant comics! (a lot of people have. a lot of people haven't.) like you said, people both want and expect to see a Very Obvious Problem that has a Very Satisfying Resolution. and if you're looking purely at canon, tim's story just doesn't have that. the abuse is not terribly obvious, it's not entirely known to or acknowledged by other characters, it's never explicitly called by its name, and the issue is ultimately never actually resolved. jack just dies. and tim grieves him, and loved him, so how could you say he was abused?

and like. the thing is, it is very plainly not only neglect, because we actually see jack getting violent with tim! on panel! but he never actually hits him, and he never has — he even says as much to tim (arguably as a thinly veiled threat) after he finds out tim is robin — so is it really abuse? even besides the neglect, jack's destructive behaviour, threats of physical violence, and general lack of respect for his son are all textbook examples of emotional abuse. but i think, even when people feel they know about emotional abuse, they're still stuck with this pervasive belief that abuse isn't Abuse unless it leaves a bruise. and that's not, like, a failing or whatever, that's just kind of the common opinion we all get fed our entire lives.

it seems kind of stupid to be saying that people need to learn how abuse works and what the different forms are when we're discussing batman comics but... people really do need to learn how abuse works and what the different forms are. not to analyse fiction but to protect themselves and others in real life. anddd maybe to keep others who have been abused from having to see painfully oblivious takes online.

anyway thank u for sending this it was very insightful (and helpful to me)... i hope you have a great day 🤸🤸

Every time I watch the cold open of Memorial and B'Elanna tells Tom about how she ASSEMBLED a 50's television set from SCRATCH just to surprise him (there's no reason beyond that - just an incredibly sweet and thoughtful gesture) and replicated popcorn for him to eat while he watches and Tom says "They didn't have remote controls in the 50's ♥ Also where's my beer?" I contemplate murder ESPECIALLY because B'Elanna responds cheerfully to it - GIRL!!! LEAVE HIM!!!!!! IS HE SUPPOSED TO BE CHARMING IN THIS SCENE????

Everytime I get into an mascot-horror type story/arg that presents the company and characters as “some huge thing of the past, now completely forgotten- the main character is uncovering stuff again” I always wonder what’s the online impact of it besides just fully forgotten

On one hand I know not everything is on the internet. A lot of shows and old media really are forgetting forever.

…But on the other hand I just know some, just one of these, HAVE to have someone who was to be obsessed to it to the point of creating some “hey remember this from our childhoods- what happened?” youtube video. Or someone writing and posting fanfic, making art no matter how obscure the franchise was. Or at least someone who DID do that years ago, and that stuff is still floating out there on the internet sphere.

At least with the args I’ve touched upon I haven’t seen the possibility of the main character finding out more (or even finding answers to some mysteries) via some randomly-obsessed internet stranger.

Or going the route of making a post, and video online and trying to find information there. Potentially collaborating with popular youtubers for help. Maybe it’s just because I follow too many youtube commentators who make videos on old/nostalgia content so it’s skewing my perception but…idk
