I do the opposite of gatekeeping, I’m not going to shut up until you like this thing as much as I do

much love to ‘i love my blorbo but they did all that’ but there should be a new category of ‘i love my blorbo but they were written by someone with transparent but unspoken biases and you gotta understand that context’

[theusernameiwantisntavailable]

[theusernameiwantisntavailable]

2 years on the trans planet and now gender is a construct

propaganda:

Tim Drake/Lonnie Machin:

Dorky anarchist betrays his principles and falls for the nerdy bourgeois superhero. Enemies to rivals to lovers. The way Tim takes care of Lonnie when became paralyzed is really important to me.

Bruce Wayne/Minhkhoa Khan:

no propaganda submitted

one of my silliest Duke headcanons is that i think duke is the kinda of person whose love of storytelling is very much like… he loves picking out themes and understanding how characters relate to eachother etc which makes his literary opinions kind of pretentious sometimes and by that i mean he can’t stand power scaling conversations and thinks they’re the most annoying thing ever. And i feel like he would watch anime but dislike DBZ because so much of it is just this guy is stronger than that guy etc. and by contrast Riko loves DBZ (she has a goku figure) and i think she’s the type of person who is keeping notes of who beats who in every show she’s ever watched. like she’s the type of person who powerscales characters from completely different universes. Anyway i imagine Duke and Riko get into a heated debate about the merits/lack thereof of power scaling (“it’s useless because who is stronger is completely dependent on what the writer wants to do!!” vs “ITS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF ENGAGING WITH THE SOURCE MATERIAL!!!”) and it ends with Riko taking Dukes favorite literary character and going “CAN HE BEAT GOKU THOUGH?” and they’ve been at it so long that this legitimately pisses Duke off and he has to walk away from the conversation.

naturally the rest of the robins find this reaction (and the entire argument) hilarious and now it’s part of a bit they all share. Theyre reconvening after a fight with a bunch of goons and Duke is going over his fight and Dre and Dax are shaking their heads and going “this guy thinks he can beat goku” (Duke: “i did NOT say that). He’s on a stake out with Izzy that might be getting a bit romantic and suddenly she leans over and goes “d’you think these guys can beat goku?” and Duke’s face is so appalled she just bursts out laughing at him.

it becomes an inside joke and Duke isn’t even mad at it anymore. him being fake mad is part of the bit at this point. at one point they’re fighting some big bad maybe another talon maybe something worse and they’re all getting beat up pretty badly and it’s really not looking good. morale is low. Duke coughs up a little blood and is like “yo… i think this guy can beat goku….” and all the robins start uncontrollably cackling in a way that is part fueled by mid fight delirium. It gives them all a second wind and they rally to beat whatever it is they’re fighting. afterwards they all get pizza and Riko lifts her sprite in a toast and is like “A cheers… to Goku. for saving us”

Duke: Actually i think i saved us. by being funny

Izzy: nah pretty sure it was goku

Dre: definitely goku

Dax: one thousand percent goku

Duke: WHATEVER

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.

greta was time's person of the year a few years ago. she was adored by all liberal world leaders and parties. and when she learnt about people's struggle under occupation and colonialism, she stood in solidarity with them . she now stands with palestine and armenia and kashmir and every oppressed person in the world. she could have been rich as fuck by simply remaining as a climate activist. yet she chose to do the right thing. i love her for her integrity.

"I need to see them suffer" I say about a character who already does nothing but suffer

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*
