Yeah, Brooklynn, remember the raptors?
See those three raptors, surrounding a piece of meat? Tearing it apart?
Does that bring back memories, Brooklynn?
Is that in your head, Brooklynn?
Three raptors?
Raptor teeth?
Tearing flesh?
Can you imagine that, Brooklynn?

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.
Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now
Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.
Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!
Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.
#its like youre unable to root for her in any form. which is annoying bc shes actually awesome actually#also having her say “actually im the good guy fuck you'' w/o any actual deep analysis of her psyche or whatever while doing these things#doesnt count as development or showing shes 3 dimensional. its just having 2 dimensional waller say shes right when everyone is obviously#supposed to believe shes wrong#anyways i want real waller back please i miss herrrrrrrr#anyways hope mr john ridley has read secret origins no 14. i know its from 1987 but please guys please. my only hope#also it was a few months ago but i think they tried to push certain elements of a diff backstory in dream team and sorry but fuck that. and#any mention of another waller background like my eyes are closed sry. im a preboot truther#actually im just ignorant of most squad comics outside the original series. im gonna do a readthrough and become knowledgeable on other#stuff i just need to find time. so if im wrong then sorry if its smth factual and if you disagree with my opinion then uh sorry for ur loss#anyways shoutout to the time i had a nerd night w my one friend and she was asking me abt dc and said my favorite villains and i said waller#and silver swan. and she had a “yuck WHY” to waller and a ???? to silver swan. love shouting out my faves and explaining them to the less#informed. didnt say a number 3 but would probably be parallax ig. idk hes kind of slay. or maybe someone else honestly i like hal but waller#and nessie are blorbo level for me i could think abt them for hours#or maybe it wouldnt be parallax actually idk who my 3 would be. hes definitely up there but way below the other 2. maybe the cheetah#interpretation that i personally have. v different from the popular cheetah interpretation esp rucka vers actually. much closer to the pérez#and esp develops some subtext there surrounding barbara and the exploitation and theft of sacred cultural artifacts and pieces but also#like british colonization a lil bit#but i actually despise the cheetah that lives in my head but think shed be interesting to use narratively and see diana fight#vs the other guys who i find interesting and sympathetic and like for themselves#whereas my fave interpretation of cheetah can rot in hell#i got off topic here#blah#swishy rant#also disclaimer that w the main character ik dreamer is the main character of dream team. im talking more in general and that amanda should#always have a huge role as shes the main character of the squad and yet is treated like its villain and not its protag#sui sq

Leave Bella's plain cooking alone. She was just 6 years old when she took over the cooking. She probably had to teach herself. Maybe Renée added seasoning to her food, but that doesn't mean it was good or edible. There's plenty of bad combinations of spices. Renee's bad cooking could also mean that she burned a lot of dishes or left food undercooked.
"Oh what about when Bella was older? Couldn't she have learned how to season food properly?"
When Bella was older she was doing all the housework, doing the grocery shopping, and balancing the budget. She was making sure that the bills got paid, that there was gas in the car, that Renée wasn't spending too much on whatever frivolous hobby she had that week. Bella was reminding Renée to do things like pick up the dry cleaning or perhaps that there was a school open house. Bella was probably the one grading the homework Renée brought home from work, because Renée's scattered brain self frequently forgot. On top of all the adult responsibility, Bella was also a child/teen keeping up her grades at school. She had so much responsibility that developing cooking skills was not a priority. So Bella just stuck to the dishes that were simple to make and that she knew would be edible. Even if they are plain.

December 1985. One year before John Byrne's post-Crisis Superman declared the whole of Kryptonian culture "ultimately meaningless," his pre-Crisis counterpart paid what would be his final visit to Rokyn (New Krypton), the world where the Bottle City of Kandor had been enlarged in 1979. After saving the people of Kandor from the Superman Revenge Squad with the help of Sylvia DeWitt, the Earthwoman who years earlier had married his cousin Van-Zee, Superman returned the body of Supergirl to her parents: his aunt and uncle, Zor-El and Alura. Byrne's MAN OF STEEL miniseries would soon retroactively erase this Kryptonian diaspora from continuity.
