you mentioned it'd been awhile since you read that arc with babs talking about killing the joker (last laugh) and the max humor in the situation is that's in issue #3 and Dick is like where does it end Babs we can't kill. And then in issue #6 Dick thinks the Joker killed Tim and Dick beats the Joker to death. like idr Helena or somebody gives the Joker cpr as if somehow starting his heart will uncave in his diaphragm lmao

god, that's frustrating. See, I wouldn't mind that as a plot point if it was intentional or at least addressed. It makes sense that it's easy for Dick (or Bruce, or Tim, or anyone really) to say that they have to be better than that and then not follow through when emotions are high.

I don't mind suspending my disbelief and accepting characters surviving impossible situations if it meant a more interesting story, but the Joker surviving means that Dick doesn't have to examine his actions - and that WOULD make for an interesting arc since Dick is a really passionate and sometimes impulsive person.

I know comics are obsessed with keeping the status quo because changing it would mean they can't keep publishing the same character forever but the Joker went stale about 50 years ago and he brings nothing interesting to the story. The only reason he's alive is plot armor otherwise a random person with a gun would have killed him already. Hell, one of his goons would've, if not for being pushed too far, they would do it for self-defense.

#poteto answers #and don't even get me started with the whole 'if batman kills the joker then the joker wins' bullshit #that is such a victim blaming narrative #wah wah the joker wants the batman to kill him so that means the joker is right #no the fuck it doesn't #that's like saying if you stand up to a bully you're just as bad as they are #also the joker being 'wrong' is not more important to me than the well being of his victims #so the joker staying alive as a pissing contest between him and the righteous bat is a weak story #it would've been interesting once #but now it's tired and meaningless #and boring #and to me the worst thing a story can be is boring #that's why i stopped reading batman comics altogether

genuinely i think if i have to see taylor swift’s name one more time i’m going to start breaking things.

#i liked her casually as a kid #and i still like a lot of her music now #but i can barely even fucking listen to it anymore bc she is EVERYWHERE #like literally i don’t care about her and i don’t care about travis whoever #and i don’t even care about her in a negative way like i don’t care if she’s selfish and narcissistic and a performative activist #and her jet emissions or whatever #bc literally 90% of celebrities are like that she’s not special #i am just so tired. of people ALWAYS talking about her #and being expected to have an opinion and be up to date with whatever meaningless drama is going on #genuinely no hate to my friends that like taylor bc i don’t mind that #it is more just like. Everywhere #i cant even go on tiktok without seeing her name 300 times i cant DO THISSS #ok. rant over. 😭

Raleigh's big baby eyes were not just big because of the dimly lit bathroom (I had a low light setting turned on), he appears to have some reduced pupillary response. He's otherwise totally normal and he CAN see, so I'm not overly worried he needs attention for it right now, but it is concerning, so I will be calling the vet to see if they can work him in sometime in the next few days. I took a look at some recent pictures and it seems to have been going on for maybe a week and I just didn't really notice because there's so little light in this house.

I'm tired. Everything is vet visits and doctor's appointments and managing my symptoms and bothering clinics and the pharmacy and new things going wrong everywhere, and I still need to call my GP to make a telehealth appointment so he can refer me for ANOTHER appointment, after which I can have a THIRD appointment with the GP to discuss test results and see what fresh new hell THAT unleashes.

I really wanted to go to the local orchard's summer festival but there's so much going on that week so close together that I'm not going to feel up to it. And it'll be too hot anyway. I can't tolerate heat or sun anymore, thanks COVID.

Ugh.

#im afraid about a thing i have going on that they randomly found during an unrelated cardio scan in January #i don't think it's bad-bad as the doctor said we could just wait and see if it's still there or whatever in six months #but like if it WANTED to be bad-bad this would be a shitty and therefore likely time to do it #and id have dealt with it by now but other clinics wouldn't fucking let me do telehealth and those appointments were for MEDS #so i can't just not have them when the only other time is three months from now #i hate the way our system works and i hate the gatekeeping and the pointless repetitive meaningless appointments #that could be 5 minute phone calls or even totally avoided if they just answered the actual question i asked #I'm so so tired and i want to go home

Is it normal to feel depressed and tired by the thought of socializing/interacting with people??

#I am back at my introvert era again #i don’t mean strangers at the street but you know but at work and school? those tiring ones…always drama..always talking…always bitter…sighh #like I just want unproblematic people who make sense. talk to me about how beautiful the sky looks today. ask me what I am reading now yk #not some energy draining meaningless nonsense #on*

#it's 1am and i'm depressed and don't want to go to bed #there's such an unbelievable amount of century-defining tragedy and horror in the world rn #and i know that’s always true but jfc we know about so much more of it simultaneously now #like i'm supposed to be chill and functional in the face of war pandemic climate change forever chemicals micro plastics and fascism?#and and and?#i'm supposed to smile and ask follow-up questions when people tell me about vacations to Hawaii #rather than shaking them and saying holy fuck stop doing that please learn about the ramifications and historical context of your actions #i'm supposed to smile and give a measured response when a new coworker asks my other coworker and me #when they can/SHOULD use generative AI *for work purposes*#rather than screaming and throwing articles at them about the environmental impact of LLM bullshit #and that's all large scale #that's not getting into the fact that there's a growing family chilliness over refusal to communicate about I/P shit #or the fact that my mom is dying slowly and hates it and is worsening her relationship with my siblings little by little #or the fact that I'm peeling away at my sanity trying to process a divorce and get healthcare for my cat and dental care for myself #or the fact that it takes hours of research to find DISH SOAP THAT DOESN’T KILL THE MICROBIOMES OF THE LOCAL WATER SUPPLY #(10/10 recommend 'blueland' for that if you're reading btw)#like i'm painfully aware of the back-patting level of efficacy that i have for buying different soap and going to the farmer's market #but there's only so much i can do so i have to try to do what i can right? but it's so little and everything is so much #and my mental health is a mess; the fact that my particular neurotype is known to get more volatile with age scares the shit oit of me #like it's this bad at 33 and it gets WORSE?#my job is great for personal privilege but so *so* meaningless and redundant #and how tf do i look at all of this and not feel fucking hopeless?#i can distract myself with my garden but the candide approach was myopic even in the 17th century so it's hard to justify now #I'm so tired #just... fuck man #tag rant #i should delete this but I'll forget if you read this far i hope it wasnt damaging to your mental health #i just had to let off the brain scream pressure somewhere

went to a huge Taylor Swift dance party last night with a friend, I haven't listened to her since I was like 14 honestly and almost didn't go, Ive been so stressed abt uni bc damn.. I was super ahead and then got knocked out by depression for 2 weeks and now I'm super behind.. anyway, I messaged her and said I'm not doing well bc I have essays due I haven't started on, and she was like 'are you actually gonna do them though or are you gonna sit around feeling anxious bc you might as well feel anxious while dancing with friends'

and I was like. yknow what you're spot on. I absolutely am not gonna do them tonight. so I went, and lads, it was such a good decision. we danced for over 4 hours straight no breaks it was crazyyy

it's a risk to admit here that you went crazy to tswift lmao, I have mixed feelings about her, but her songs are perfect for going batshit crazy to with ur friends in a crowded room with sick lighting so I'm gonna be unapologetic about it haha. sometimes you gotta

#anyway im listening to her now it's fun #ill carry that night with me when i feel down and try to remember to dance once in a while #ed mumbles #an she did my makeup and made me sparky!#sparkly*#its crazy cause I've worn makeup like twice and both times were this friend doing it for me haha #ive been friends with her since we were 13 #i really admire her #she had a really rough upbringing and was homeless at 15 #but she's the most positive upbeat outgoing and bravest person i know #she's always so full of energy and ready to love..#i think I'm gonna make a pact to always say yes to her no matter how i feel #and im realising that worrying about whether music is ~good and intellectual~ and whether the artist is a good person #is meaningless bc if it's fun and makes you feel like dancing then it is always ok #and that applies to everything else as well #i will love as much as i can #if she can come from such a dark place and love that hard then i can too #im tired of being so aware and guarded and focused on the morality of things

i have to remember when i critique star wars as being v liberal my def of liberal is farther right i think than other people's definitions of it are

#ch posts #for me now liberal means the mostly spineless ''politicians like AOC nnem are my friends and decorum + appearance are more important than #actual change'' types #status quo support with a face lift #so if/when I say something like Crosshair tbb and Kylo Ren ST are v liberal its like #the appearance that things are changing for the better #without the acknowledgement of how violent those ideologies are #and how one does not simply stop being fash one day #and how no it cant be cured with forgiveness and solitude #and i get for storytelling purposes any journey away from that ideology #has to be shortened bc TV/movie runtimes #but Andor (while not perfect) at least understands that people #*ppls reasons for joining it are meaningless #they had depth without demanding empathy!#thats how i wanted to phrase it #overall not forgiving the way some others are #im tired of redemption arcs i really am

The universe saw fit to gift my grandmother with a lovely case of covid for Christmas because of course it fucking did, so the past few days have been, uh...

Busy.

#personal #she's not in the hospital- she did end up going to urgent care on the 25th but they sent her home.#she did not TELL US she was going to urgent care we found out via whatsapp from my aunt #who'd been trying to coordinate a family zoom call and was informed by my granddad 'later. we're #at the hospital now'.#why did they not call and ask us to drive given that we live TEN MINUTES AWAY and granddad shouldn't be driving at the best of times?#that i could not tell you. something about 'not wanting to inconvenience-' which is insane #dad and i have been going up to try and get everything we can done for them since then #nana's been granddad's caretaker since he got diagnosed but anyone who's had covid can tell you it takes fucking EVERYTHING out of you #to just fucking walk around. im off work till the 9th thank god so i can be there as often as required but even so...#I have a sense that i should probably be freaking the fuck out but mostly im just... calm? it's not a happy calm idk what emotion this is #but it definitely isn't positive- but im not panicking. i feel like new bad info does not surprise me anymore it's just kind of a grit-your-#teeth-and-adjust-to-handle-shit deal. like. 'mm. god shits in our collective dinner once again. figures.'#there's no point in flying off the handle just figuring out how to fix things. im not happy but im... steady i guess?#im resigned and bitter and optimistic until im given proof not to be but mostly what i am is tired. not physically just-#my brain feels like a wrung out dishcloth. i keep trying to write because i know it'll make me happy if i can but its not working.#i keep writing paragraphs of shit that aren't matching up with what i want and if somebody gives me some meaningless platitude about #how maybe it's a sign it should be there and to try and incorporate it ill rip their face off. shut. up.

The guy I had been seeing a bit told me he’s not looking for other dates right now (and at this point we had been ok with no exclusivity so it’s fine) but then goes “in a couple of months when I’m done with work I’ll be on the apps” and I’m like ??????

we discussed that we were trying to take this to somewhere serious and check in (in like a month?) so completely antithetical to that unless like he has already made up his mind to not see me anymore, knowing what I want and what we discussed, just revealed it and still had invited me over to stay anyway (so used me for sex I guess?)

I’m so tired and feel sick so I would be more upset but Jesus Christ
