Can't believe Bruce canonically picked up a random 12yo homeless child who had no intent to become a vigilante and suddenly thrust Robin onto him without asking if that's what he wanted because he missed Dick (whom he fired because being Robin was too dangerous) and people still act like any take that's not "all the Batkids became vigilantes on their own completely independent of Bruce (who tried so hard to stop them but sadly just couldn't do it)" is a complete idiotic bad-faith take and that you're crazy if you disagree with people saying that Bruce has never ever absolutely NEVER picked up a kid for the purpose of making them into a vigilante.
#my dc posting#jason todd#dc#batman#bruce wayne#any child would be delighted to be told they could become a superhero#children also aren't known for their ability to make rational and good decisions.#jason did not yearn for the cape and would not have become a vigilante without bruce's interference#you want a character who became a vigilante independently and couldn't (and shouldn't) be stopped by bruce? duke#duke thomas did that#his mentor/mentee relationship with bruce is an actually good example of what a healthy one should look like#teaching someone already in the business but new to it how to do it well and as safe as possible. that's the good shit#''batman needs robin'' mmhm. tell me more about how the relationship of mentorship between an adult and their child needs to be focused#and centered around the needs of the adult. this is such a power fantasy for children; grown men relying on them for their mental wellbeing#(duke&jason are the only ones whose origins i have personally read hence why they are focused on here)#bruce wayne critical#<- for filtering purposes#comics bruce you are a bitch and an asshole#bitter-hibiscus your post abt the nature of the batman&robin relationship even outside the bounds of 'child soldier' still being bad#will always be famous to me

Robin landed on the roof next to him and Bruce could already feel the headache building. They were looking down on a young blond man with pointed ears and a large halberd on his backriding on a white horse. The guy looked like he had come straight out of a fairytale. He knew that if this was a new rogue Damian would argue about keeping the horse. Actually he would probably want to keep the horse even if he wasn't a rogue.
Deciding the guy had gotten close enough they swooped down to confront him. The man, startled, stopped his horse and pulled the large halberd off his back. He held it in front of him, as if in warning. The man looked wary of them but not afraid. They stared at eachother for a moment before the man spoke in a language neither Batman not his Robin knew.
---
Link was having a wierd day. He had literally just saved Princess Zelda a week ago (and for the second time) when he encountered some kind of demon in black and white. The Master Sword glowed in the demons presence which was all Link needed to know before chasing after the being. The thing, looking like a teen in odd clothing that reminded him of links own rubber suit, bolted into a green portal it had created.
Not hesitating he had his horse leap into it. And now he was in a strange place with no sign of the demon. After getting attacked by a man yelling in a language he didn't recognize, he switched out his sword for a halberd for that extra reach on horseback and continued on his way, leaving the unconscious man on the road side behind him.
This place was odd. Parts of some walls would light up, showing images of people and places he didn't know along with a written language he didn't recognize. He came across many people who looked at him oddly...or at least he thought they were people. They looked like Hylians but most of them were taller than the average Hylian and to Links horror they had short rounded ears. How could they hear thier gods with such tiny ears?
He was scared, but he carried on anyway. Eventually he gets confronted by someone dressed as a monster and a child. They manage to settle thier...dispute?...without violence so that was nice. He pulled a few apples and swift carrots out of his tablet-to the curiosity of the duo- and hands them to the child. The kid caught on quickly and raced off to feed his horse her favorite snacks.
Link will have to figure out how to overcome this language barrier
Bruce however, has discovered this was not a man, but a teenager lost in a foreign world and is set on adopting him.

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

the way jc and lwj differ in their approaches to each other is so funny. like it's pretty much spelled out during their confrontation on dafan mountain that while they both dislike and snub each other, its kind of like
jc: i hate this asshole so much he does not respect me at all and doesn't even try to pretend otherwise. he is pissing me off right the fuck now in this moment, both directly and by targeting jin ling, which i will not fucking tolerate. however, i can't lose my shit on him because he is backed by the whole lan clan, zewu-jun especially. unless i want to start a whole political mess i cannot retaliate like i want to. also, i'm not 100% confident that i would win a full-out fight against him, so i will grit my teeth and power through dealing with his awful ass
lwj: bichen blast. fuck you
#mdzs reread#lb tag#it's just so funny. i love lwj so much and i love how he's a complete asshole#to jc especially. he gives NO grace to jc and refuses to consider any part of jc's situation.#+ personal (wwx-caused) struggles. and he's winning the idgaf war#meanwhile lwj is able to be so idgaf bc he's backed by both gusulan and his sparkling reputation. he is such a bitch ♡#this scene is genuinely so good it was good the first time i read it and its good now that i have the context of the whole novel#lwj beefing with jl is so crazy. that is a child#lwj: i like and respect children. i do my best to teach them kindly and help them flourish. except fuck this one#kid in particular bc i hate his uncle.#LOL <333#anyway all this isnt lwj hate i love lwj i love when he's a hater#him having a whole 'conversation' with jc while simultaneously slicing up all those nets w bichen offscreen. SO good. he's hilarious

there is a duality that claudia was a forty year old woman, who essentially joined a cult - louis warned her, but what else are you to do? she is not a child, though trapped in the body of one, that is to say that although it would come from a place of pride and claudia being an extension of himself as her maker: lestat would have never allowed her to be so ridiculed and humiliated
#iwtv#claudia de lioncourt#lestat de lioncourt#louis de pointe du lac#claudia iwtv#to say their relationship is complicated and toxic is the worlds biggest understatement#but i think about how he taught her things such as chess#he lost it when she surpassed him - but he taught her nonetheless#because no matter what they would like she is a de lioncourt#and he would not allow his daughter to be anything less than the perfect poster child for high society#lestats anger at louis ‘stooping so low as to eat rats’ always read to me as anger and humiliation at someone who is an extension of himself#by being their maker#doing something ‘so unbecoming’#he purposefully didn’t teach louis things as a false means to ‘protect’ and entrap#but claudia he swung back and forth on wanting possession over her and wanting to discard her#so teaching her became an option - i believe in another world he would have taught her all the vampiric tricks of the trade#even if they hated each other

something something about billy teaching little kids how to swim, and being good at it (otherwise their parents would have not let him); something something about his tendency to keep throwing good advice at people even while being a dick about it (max and steve, for example) something something about him apparently having a natural predisposition for helping people out and-
#we know so much and yet so little about him#we have been kinda lucky if we think about it tho#we know more about him than some of the actual main characters#we know that he used to read when he was a child#maybe he still liked it as a teen#we know that he loved his mother#that he used to wear shirts with little flower patterns on them#that he surfed#that he hated baseball and his father for making him do things he did not want to do#we know that he puts cologne on his dick before a date#and that he loves to look at himself in the mirror#we know how his room looks like#and what kind of music he likes#we also know about the lock Neil put on the outside of his door#and the kind of different earrings he owns#now we also know that he teaches little kids#that he has a strong connection with water#that he was a brave kid who managed to break the monster’s control on him multiple times on his own#oh how I love billy hargrove#and how I mourn him and the rest of the things we could have still known about it it this were a different show#billy hargrove#stranger things

Have a little snippet from my current wip that has accidentally ended up with the working title of 'tractor fic'. its not even about a tractor. the tractor plays a minor roll. there is ten thousand words about the tractor. (its about maria visiting clints farm and being incredibly awkward about it) (she visits to fix the tractor and then ends up staying much longer)
Cooper sits on the other side of the table as he munches on his own sandwich and he stares at Maria with all of the open intensity of an eight year old child. “Is this your boss?” he says to his dad without swallowing.
Clint laughs as he finishes making Lila’s lunch and Maria takes a sip of the lemonade if only so that she doesn’t have to answer. It’s a little tart, but sweet enough that it goes down easy. She isn’t sure she could make better lemonade herself.
“I guess she is, yeah,” Clint says eventually, folding ham neatly within the borders of the bread. “She’s sort of everyone’s boss.”
“Everyone?” Cooper swallows his mouthful at last. “She can’t be everyone’s boss.”
Natasha places her drink down in front of her, sitting a space away from Maria and directly opposite him. She leans forward ever so slightly, conspirational over the table as she lowers her voice. “Oh, she is. She even tells the president what to do sometimes. If someone has a boss, it’s her. Even your mom.”
She straightens up again with a glance to Maria, picking her drink back up to hide her smirk around the straw. Maria tries not to roll her eyes as Cooper gawks. She downs the rest of her lemonade, avoiding eye contact as long as possible, and the moment she sets it back down, Laura is there beside her to fill it up again. She’s trying not to laugh along with everyone else and it makes it that much harder for Maria to keep a straight face too.
“That’s right,” Clint says from the kitchen counter. Maria watches him cut the crusts off of the bread before handing the plate to Lila. “That means you have to listen to everything she says when you’re in the barn.”
Cooper nods into another bite of his sandwich, his eyes wide, and Maria gives him a tight sort of smile. Natasha is still looking at her too, even as she eats her own lunch, and Maria suddenly feels like a bit of a spectacle. It makes Natasha’s eyes crinkle, just so, and that really doesn’t help.
#this was supposed to be a one shot#its 30k#im only halfway done#i also hope everyone is as excited to read about maria being the most awkward person alive as i was to write this#her friends are trying so hard to teach her how to relax and feel loved#and shes fighting them at every step#but its so fun to write#this woman does not know how to hold a casual conversation#its not her fault this sappy happy family is reminding her of everything she didnt have as a child herself#snippets#words#maria hill#clint barton#hawkeye#natasha romanoff#black widow#tractor fic#< just until i find a real title for this guy

I decided to spend my day redrawing a meme instead of catching up on Much Needed Laundry.
#One Piece OC#Penrose Twain#the librarian guy#I've dressed him with too much dignity I need to play with that outfit a bit#Also this is my second design with a tacky dressed lanky guy with little green glasses...#That might be the male equivalent of putting a girl in a bulky green jacket for me#See much like Wally - this guy is existing in defiance of his world's genre. But unlike Wally he's doing it On Purpose. Spitefully so.#None of my OCs so far have Confirmed Devil Fruit Powers but I think it'd be really funny if people believed this dweeb did#because if Penrose Twain hates ANYTHING it's inaccuracy#His firm denials are Unconvincing.#Part of his backstory involved being forcibly recruited into a pirate crew because he could read and the Captain refused to learn how.#I think that'd be the best place to introduce him actually#a very done with everything know it all antagonist#another part of his backstory involved him teaching himself to read as a child in defiance of his Guardian's Wishes (for reasons)#and hiding it - hence why he's such a pain about ''well actually''ing everyone now#he refuses to hide his intelligence even a little bit

Last post reminds me of when I was at Christmas with my niece and I was sounding out the letters of something in front of her so she'd say it and my mom (former primary school teacher, now teaches adults in prison who haven't gotten their basic education, some of whom are illiterate) went: "actually 🤓 children aren't taught to read like that anymore" like if anyone should know better ffs...
#liveblogging my life#mom you taught me how to read properly as a child and i had a very advanced level#they taught us the abcs in class and i was so confused like... you people don't learn this at home??#sadly my mom is a slave to teaching fashions#now that me and my gf are more critical of it (we both study teaching) she's coming around but... yeah)

Another reminder, because apparently reading comprehension is utterly failing online:
Do not follow me if you are under the age of 18.
I've had a spattering of minors trying to follow me and all up on my inbox lately, and look, I get it. I get the curiosity. I read inappropriate shit when I was your age too. Here's the thing, though. I'm an adult. This is not Twitter. I'm not your mommy, your babysitter, or your friend. I'm not here to give you sex-ed, and nor will I be responsible for it in any way. You make me uncomfortable, and I'm fairly certain it would make your mommy and daddy real fuckin' uncomfortable to see you here, and that's just not some shit I need right now.
The content of my work is not for you. I do not want you following me, reading my pieces, or interacting with me in any way.
If you won't have some semblance of respect for me, my work, and my rules, you sure as shit are not mature enough to be here in the first place.
#morgana and friends#jesus christ kids irritate the shit out of me sometimes#do they not teach yall how to read anymore?#i do not need angry parents emailing me in a bluster about corrupting their precious child#minors harassing adult creators has already ruined my favorite spaces so im a wee bit fucking irritated at children#im sorry there's no real spaces for kids online anymore but the smut community is not where youre allowed to plant your flag

Girl. Girl it's been 1 chapter and you're already slapping his ass? Queen shit. I love you. Get that stupid fucking boy. Don't tolerate his bullshit.
#unma reads#look. he's a child#but given how badly he's bullied her#he deserves it#I was gonna be like#“You're mentally older than him by a lot so this does leave a little bit of a bitter taste in my mouth but you should still slap him”#and then I thought about it.#man fuck em kids. /j#teach him to respect others early on. maybe he'll be a better person for it

@beatingheart-bride
"Yes, he did," Susannah nodded-a bit of a blessing and a curse in her eyes, admittedly, considering the mixed feelings she had regarding her heritage...
"My mother was...very proud of who she was," she began, as she sipped her coffee pensively. "She took a great deal of pride in being Irish, and she wore it on her sleeve...even when other people didn't appreciate that pride. She told my Pa a lot of stories about her life in Ireland, about her family, and what it means to be a Pace. We're stubborn and passionate about...everything, really, but we also value family greatly; we'd move heaven and Earth for our loved ones. Pa was really taken by it all, by Ma's pride in being who she was, and so when it came time to get married...he chose to take her name instead of her taking his."
It was a great shock to many of August's neighbors, knowing that instead of becoming Mr. and Mrs. Burke, they had become Mr. and Mrs. Pace: He often speculated that, had it been the other way around, their neighbors would've been a little less frosty to the couple, perhaps approving of this "uncivilized" Irishwoman taking a step in becoming more Americanized, but because August had taken her name, it was seen as a slap in the face to those around them-that he was taking the side of "a Paddy" over his American kin.
"Ma was really touched by it," she finished, as she set her coffee mug down. "And Pa was proud to be a part of a family like hers. Even if other people didn't approve, he didn't give a damn-he was proud to be a Pace."
#((they are! i didn't think all that highly of the two of them when i saw the first movie))#((but even without having seen the second one; reading what i have; my opinion of them is even lower!))#((instead of teaching their magically-inclined child how to control her powers; as presumably her mother learned))#((they both feel the best option is not only to lock one daughter away; isolating her))#((but also to alter the memories of their other daughter and leave her in the dark as to what's going on with her sister!))#((this is what tv tropes would call the 'idiot ball'; in which characters proverbially get a hold of said ball))#((and IMMEDIATELY start making dumb decisions: clearly the parents got a hold of the idiot ball))#((and didn't let go even as they went down with the ship! that's just atrocious writing!))#outofhatboxes#beatingheart-bride#V:Genderbent

Having so many feelings about Glinda knowing Rain is Elphaba's granddaughter (why is she not green? I know it's magic, but I want an explanation!!! She was born green!) And not all of them are sweet and kind and all, but most important of all: WHY DIDN'T YOU RAISE HER, YOU BITCH???
#like it's bad enough - terrible enough - to have a child in your staff#and I get that she was being hidden there#but ma'am that's your wife's grandchild#you were already an absent mother to Liir may I remind you???#give the girl some shoes? teach her how to read and to not trust the military?#you know#the basics

I’m 25 and I’m having to teach my 50+ year old mother how to communicate and voice needs/concerns without insulting and upsetting people, while at the same time teaching my 21yr old little sister how to accept criticism, take responsibility for actions, and react respectfully when someone communicates a need/concern to her bc our mother never taught her. I’m now everyone’s gentle parent mom and it’s just confirming to me that I never want kids.
#g talks#how did i learn this?#i taught myself by reading and then practicing in my day to day#because it’s a way i wanna be so i started doing it#for some reason no one else in my family wants to be that way#not shocking#also my little sister barely got parented bc ours just gave up#and they treated her like a glass doll golden child#so she never learned anything#she didn’t start learning how to read until she was 11-12#and that’s because she got fed up and started teaching herself#so there’s that#I don’t blame HER for not knowing#my mom is a very different story#mine#/mobile#/okay to reblog
