Gotham War is so...

Dick is so mad in Batman 138

But in Scorched Earth he's just...

And then this "parents" nonsense like???

What is with the whiplash issue to issue?

What was the point of any of this other than to get the rest of the bats away from Bruce?

I'm just...

Consider Alastor stripping in front of Vox and when Vox is like "holy shit ur comfortable enough around me to be naked??" and Alastor laughs at him and says "Do you think I get embarrassed when taking my clothes off in front of my couch or dresser? Why would I be embarrassed because I'm naked in front of a TV?"

i’m going to be honest: the whole thing about the best straight ships being when the man is a watered down gomez addams and the woman is a generic girlboss is boring. i’m not going to turn this into a “it’s okay to like m/f pairings” this isn’t that. i just think making things generic is not fun. i need them to drive each other crazy.

Do I find Damian incredible annoying? Yes Will I fight every single motherfucker who resumes his entire character to violent and 'bad'? Also Yes.

There's something meta about like. The theme of choosing life versus choosing death. In relation to the Oxventurers and how they play out that finale.

Like they meet with They and explain why they on an individual level want and deserve to live and why Geth deserves to continue. Corazon seeks to keep growing as a person and interacting with other people. Merilwen wants to preserve the force of nature. Dob believes in chaos. Egbert wants good to endure. Prudence rejects the question on the basis that she deserves to live by virtue of having lived.

Liliana is reluctant and afraid. She wants to fix what she's done because she doesn't want to see everything destroyed, and she's warring with shame for her other deeds. She is desperate for community but having trouble accepting it, allowing herself to have it. They tell her she is forgiven.

And then in the finale, everyone obviously fights hard to get rid of the world ending threat, and then the minute it's over Liliana throws caution and self-preservation to the wind because at least one of them has got to die. She can't accept this world where they all go on living and trusting each other and growing together. She has to sabotage it.

And I really believe she's smart enough to know she's probably killing herself, especially when Merilwen starts attacking her and she then doesn't run. Everyone else chose life - fighting for Geth, for themselves, for each other - and Liliana chose to give up.

That's why it doesn't bother me that the cheesed the literal finale boss, besides it being on brand and hilarious. It wasn't about the giant or the apocalypse. It was about who each of them is as a person. It's about choices. It's about whether you choose to move forward or give up hope.

In the end, everyone lived and got what they were seeking, except for Liliana, who couldn't trust herself and gave up hope. By enraging a very scary wood welf druid.

I had this realization a few days ago when reviewing what we know about Gaster while theorizing about the mysterious Valentine from the newsletter and idk if other people have pointed this out yet, but I haven't seen anyone else talk about it:

I don't think Gaster's disappearance has anything to do with Core.

The Core is only mentioned in relation to Gaster once, in this dialogue from one of the Gaster followers:

This dialogue is why most theories and fanon built around the idea that Gaster fell into the Core, which for reasons unknown to us erased him from existence. But I'm now pretty convinced that this is a red herring, because it doesn't actually say Gaster fell into the Core. It says he made the Core, and that he fell into his creation.

It does not say that this creation is the Core.

The dialogue is written in a way that leads you to assume the creation he fell into was the Core, but that doesn't really make much sense considering the rest of the dialogue.

The dialogue says "they say he created the Core," which implies this is second hand knowledge, but then says with certainty "One day, he fell into his creation." Why do they know for sure he fell into "his creation," but only knows he created the core from what others say?

If you talk to the follower again, they say "Will Alphys end up the same way?" Why would Alphys also fall into the Core? As far as we know, Alphys doesn't maintain the Core; if I remember correctly, a few monsters at Mettaton's hotel are stated to work in the Core, so wouldn't this follower be more concerned that those monsters will end up like Gaster and not Alphys?

And another question that I think fanon has just ignored due to the assumption it was something we don't yet know about, but I am now wondering about: Why would falling into the Core erase Gaster from time? When traveling through Hotland and viewing the Core in the distance, Alphys says this:

And while this dialogue may at first seem indicative that the Core is more mysterious than a normal geothermal power generator (and it is in some ways), remember: Alphys didn't build the Core. Alphys doesn't understand how the Core works, not because it has some unnatural property that could erase people from space time, but because she didn't build it. Not only does this mean that the Core is likely just a power generator that utilizes the lava in Hotland to produce geothermal energy and convert it to electricity, it also means that Alphys doesn't work on the Core, because she doesn't know how it works. So why would the Gaster follower worry about Alphys ending up like Gaster if she doesn't have any involvement with the Core?

Additionally, that Gaster follower is the only one to mention the Core in relation to Gaster. In fact, one of the other followers says something that could be interpreted as actively contradicting his erasure being caused by the Core:

This follower says "his experiments went wrong," and doesn't mention the Core. Why would Gaster be experimenting with the Core? And if he was, we don't know anything about it.

But you know what experiments we do know Gaster was working on, because it's literally one of the only pieces of dialogue we have from him?

And do you know what other creation was presumably made by Gaster, as Alphys is unfamiliar with it's operation? That is also a creation that was actively being used in experiments, which Alphys is continuing to perform herself? Experiments that are directly involved with something we already know can alter time and space? A creation that is located in one of the most mysterious areas in the game with several oddities in it that are straight up never explained, multiple fourth wall breaking moments, and a couple explicit references to things we believe are associated with Gaster? A creation that suspiciously resembles in appearance the form of a character who canonically can alter time and space, not to mention resembling the thing that's literally called a GASTER BLASTER???

I find it frustrating how being a gnc and gay makes it hard to talk about my experiences as a trans person.

Both because the experiences themselves are so different from the norm. And because, if i try to talk about transphobia I face there's this underlying idea that because im a feminine trans man, I deserve it or at least could avoid it by being less feminine.

And there really is no way to win because if I'm feminine, then I'm not really a man (or not trying hard enough to be one) but if im masculine then I'm not queer enough and get shit from within the community for that too.

And I cant relate to the average trans masc experience (tm) because my (lesbian) mother's idea is that I should be a butch lesbian instead of a fem gay man so the lack of acceptance from them comes in the form of barring me from wearing makeup or "flashy" clothes, as opposed to the more typical enforced femininity.

How much of myself am I expected to give up? And more importantly, why is that expectation coming from other queer people, people who should know better?

asljkf saw your tags on the darkners post i made and grinned evilly i hope you know that thinking about that was what initially prompted that post

HAHA OH FUCK

i am so fascinated by darkners and the dark world and how it all works dude. its interesting to think about what happens to those who are deemed useless. can they carve their own meaning out of the life they've been given? or is it truly and entirely up to the lightners, or Other Forces (looks at spamton's man on the phone/gaster). perhaps not, as "your choices don't matter"? spamton's "usefulness" wasn't permanent. he went back to being a nobody, cinderella without a glass slipper.

thats one of a gazillion reasons why i like his relationship with lancer, it gives him a purpose where he's otherwise been unable to find one. he's lancers dad :) somebody needs him. it's not a lightner but Somebody needs him.

rouxls makes me so fucking insane he is so Bizarre and strange and a total joke character (seemingly) but there's depth there. there's depth there guYS I SWEAR THERE'S D-

it makes me SO sad that it’s hard to go through Samwise’s tags or find people for whom he is their favorite that don’t put down Frodo. I’m thankful that the number of those who truly understand him and love both him and who he struggles for is greater than it could be and has been in the past, but it’s still so heartbreaking to see, because I love Sam so dearly, and he’d never want this. It’s such a disrespect of Sam’s character to think that the only way to praise him is to undermine or insult Frodo. And it’s a disrespect to the narrative of Lord of the Rings as well. People constantly reference a cherry picked and out of context piece of a letter Tolkien wrote, desperately trying to claim that Sam is The Singular Hero of the story, when that wasn’t even remotely the context of the letter, yet its been used for years to undermine all the other characters of the series and erase the well rounded character Sam is to shave him into some one dimensional He-Man. Sam is undoubtedly one of the chief characters of the story, THE chief character of the story alongside Frodo. Without Sam the quest would not have been fulfilled. Yet Tolkien makes it clear that Sam could not have done Frodo’s job— especially not on his own. Just as the Ring broke down Frodo, it would have done for Sam— especially by the point of Mordor. That isn’t where Sam’s strength and value lies. It doesn’t lie in being the sacrifice. It lies in being the hope, the support, the utterly maddened loyalty and stubbornness and love that overcomes and strengthens. As I have come to say, Frodo carried the world, and Sam carried Frodo. People seem to think that as lesser, and I find that insulting. Would you find a friend that supported you in dark times lesser? Are they not your world in those moments? Do they not hold up the world for you yourself, as you struggle to carry the weight of it, and remind you that whatever suffering, you will never be abandoned or alone, even if both of you endure the fires of hell and no brightness shines through. It will not be alone. That is the beauty of Sam, and the people that treat that role as though it was not enough or that he should have had more on his plate show their lack of understanding of the very character they claim to praise.

Sometimes I see someone say something about a piece of media as if it is revelatory mind blowing hot off the press news, and not the most basic obvious point of the work or the most basic obvious allusion, and it makes me roll my eyes a little because I'm like yeah yeah the time knife we've all seen it, and then I have to like physically step in and shake myself and be like actually Susan we have Not all seen the time knife, and anyway someone else is enjoying the wonders of media analysis as a hobby for maybe like. The first time in their life if they're young enough. Don't be a bozo just because you think you're smart. Nerd. Fuckass. If you were a high school english teacher you'd be pissing yourself in joy rn because someone connected the dots. That's so cool that they did that. And I go about my day because I'm normal
