While we're on the topic of De-aging AU's I wanna talk about Jason and Damian if Jason was 14 again real quick.

Do you guys think that Damian looks at this version of Jason, so different from the version he knows, nothing like the person he was told Jason was, and feels uncomfortably seen?

Damian was always told that Jason died because he was reckless, because he disobeyed orders, he was fired as Robin and he got himself killed. A cautionary tale, not a threat to his position. He dismisses Jason because Bruce does, because Dick does, because sometimes even Babs and Alfred do.

That's not the kid that he's looking at now. This Jason is happy, and smart, and full of love that has not yet soured into grief. He hangs on Bruce's every word, trains until his hands bleed and his body gives out to perfect the moves Bruce teaches him. He looks at Bruce with stars in his eyes and he calls him dad.

And Damian can't help but think, that this is the perfect Robin. The perfect son. And if Jason - sweet, loving, strong, Jason - can be fired, can die and have his room locked away and his pictures torn down, can have his last memory as Robin be as A Good Soldier, how could the rest of them ever compete? What could Damian do to stand a chance?

Jason will never grow out of the shadow of Robin, like the rest of them did. As long as Bruce, and Dick, and Babs, and Alfred look at him and see a dead kid who came back wrong, he will never get to be anything else. He will not get to be looked at through who he is now without the shadow of a dead boy looming over him.

And the worst part? Jason is exactly the same person he was back then. Bitter, sure, angry, justifiably, but he is still the boy with too much love in his heart and righteous fury festering in his gut. He is exactly the same boy who threw himself in front of an explosion to save his mother.

(The lines between the mother that betrayed him and the father that disgraced him are so very blurred. Fire or blade or crowbars or fists it does not matter. It ends the same way it always does because Jason Todd always dies, in every universe, in every timeline, Jason dies and crawls out only to be killed again and again and again.)

there’s a special place in hell for people who take the time and go through the effort of leaving negative comments on fanfics, like-- what is wrong with you, what is LEGITIMATELY wrong with you? I’m so angry and so devastated on behalf of everyone who has been harrassed like this and who is going through something like this right now. There’s no excuse for shitty behavior - if you intentionally leave a hurtful comment on something someone created and put out there for other people’s enjoyement, for free, after spending probably HOURS if not WEEKS or MONTHS or longer on it, you’re an incredibly shitty, disgusting, miserable waste of space of a person be better

Here’s two things worth noting about the pattern of canceling shows after one season that really Pisses Me Off, especially in regards to queer lesbian shows, Pink Ladies and REMOVING IT FROM THE PLATFORM.

Rise of the Pink Ladies final episode was released less than a month ago. A fun convenient fact - most contracts with streaming residuals begin to collect those residuals a month or so after release. In that first month, most the money is going to the streaming service that funded the show and not the artists. Taking it OFF the platform in that time robs the designers, crew, writers, whomever put their passion and energy into making the show of their well deserved credit and payment for those services.

Removing something from a platform also never gives it a chance to have its time in the public consciousness— or the chance that it will become a part later.

Interestingly, fact two is that it is cheaper to make subsequent seasons than it ever will be to start new shows from scratch. The set is already made, the artwork created, all the beginning work has been put in, and an audience has already been built or is starting to build. The crew has had time to become a cohesive unit that knows the ins and outs of every quirk that comes with each tv show. And with a HISTORICAL show, almost everything from the 1950s had to have been made, thrifted, or rented. Most of those purchases and sets are still there; they wouldn’t have to be rebought or rebuilt.

Deciding it’s already failed is cruel knowing that continuing would be easier.

Creativity should be allowed to take chances. It should be allowed to exist. I know that lots of the creatives on Pink Ladies were queer or poc … and that almost certainly factors into it. Stories, diversity, and its production are stifled when streaming services decide on money and initial viewership as the bottom line of any choice they make.

Somewhere, someone decided that our audience is not sustainable or worth advertising to, is not even worth keeping around, and that’s the real danger.

I'm actually so sick and fucking tired of people who think covid is comparable to the flu. Just bc you or a family member got it and didn't die doesn't mean it's not super fucking serious and life threatening, ESPECIALLY for disabled people/people with health issues/autoimmune disorders. Every time my father sees me wearing a mask he rants about how covid is just like the flu and that everyone is over reacting and [insert shitty conspiracy theory here] and it makes me so upset every goddamn time. I got covid half a year ago, despite doing everything right, thanks to my parents' stupidity. I was sick for 13 days, entirely bedridden and feverish for 9 of those days. I physically couldn't get out of bed, not even to piss, the entire first day my mother had to half carry me everywhere. Same thing the second day, when she dragged me to the doctor where I tested positive. The first five days, I couldn't even look at an electronic device and had to keep the lights off all the time bc I'd actually vomit. I had a migraine that didn't go away no matter what medicine I took, for the entire the first week. My nose was constantly stuffy and my sinuses were so backed up I couldn't breathe through my nose, which made breathing in general so difficult and painful bc my asthma was also exacerbated. So my chest hurt too. All my normal chronic pain was magnified tenfold. I had a 103 fever for three days in a row, then it fluctuated between 98-100 the rest of the time. Thinking about it right now I still remember the pain and how it felt. I've had strep throat, a lot as a kid. I've had chicken pox, and the flu several times, because my parents never fucking vaccinated us. I have never been more sick in my goddamn life than I was with covid. And this is just me. Yes I'm disabled and yes I'm still being tested for possible autoimmune disorders (my mom and her whole side of the family have them) but even still I'm not nearly as at risk as a lot of people, and I was still more affected than anyone in my entire family, who have all also gotten covid because of their own stupidity. My taste and smell were never affected, but I'm still losing hair from it, which is apparently also a symptom I never knew about.

Wear. Your fucking. Masks. Covid is still around, it's still super fucking serious, it is NOT just like the flu, and you had fucking better take it seriously. Even if you don't care about getting it yourself, at least show some goddamn consideration for others whose health and lives are at risk.

okay i know i harp on my bad luck a lot and tell lots of stories but i think if i explained what was happening rn with my short term disability you all would think i was straight up lying

[smute]

also that slogan on every poster "he's just ken" receiving a positive connotation after watching the film??? as in, he's not "and ken" but just ken?? something so simple but so effective

[fruk-choosing-a-username]

i should be the only one allowed to push people off ledges in bg3

[marklikely]

i feel like im never going to be fully satisfied by any saw sequel (or the fanbase for that matter) bc i dont think the majority of ppl involved read jigsaw the same way i did.

[piplupod]

despite me showing parent a bunch of covid info, they have decided they are not going to wear masks anymore -_-

i wish i could tell my family "if i get covid again, i am Actually going to kill myself. that will be it for me." but I think they'd 1) not believe me, and 2) get angry at me for saying it

[adhdo5]

I wish every socmedia executive would [REDACTED]

[hearties-circus]

I think I need every maths teacher from my high school to die actually

[singsweetmelodies]

I saw your post n i was like “how did she type all that while she’s in a meeting” impressive😁

Again, the whole thing is so stupid. Why get so aggressive about smtg like this… i mean i do go a little feral with charles n lewis at times😬 but I won’t go to someone’s asks to fight about it just because they don’t share the same views🤷🏻‍♀️

Do I dislike Carlos? Yes (hate will be too strong for some people but not to me cos I’m born to be a hater😌jk)

But am I gonna stop liking carlando posts if I find them cute ? No 👀

Like what i do on my tumblr account is my business as long it’s not affecting anyone else.. but if you get hurt because I don’t like your driver that’s a you problem right? .. and some people can’t even get this through their thick skulls.. smh

Anywaysss… ignore those weirdos.. hope you survive your meeting 🙃

T

me in my meeting, reading this and just nodding along emphatically to everything you've said 🤭👌 like, YES. you get it bestie!! unfortunately i then had to go and ACTUALLY pay attention in the meeting, but i wanted to come back and reply to you because this ask made me smile and nod very much <333 thank youuu so much love!

Sometimes I feel like I have a little more hope for the future and I start thinking about getting a Japanese tutor or getting a job or actually going to the library to write like I always say I will

And then I get so overwhelmed and nervous by the thought of it and weird fears of not being able to sleep or consume fiction anymore even though I hardly do that anyway because I’m too emotionally tired all the time , that I fully shut down and go into these massive sleeps. I genuinely start to feel terrified of losing sleep or losing my bed and it’s not rational at all. It’s not going anywhere. My books aren’t going anywhere. My shows arent going anywhere. But I start to feel like a 2 year old getting rid of their dummy.

It just makes me so frustrated at myself
