#Wacky Rants

[duncanor]

There's a lot of imagery for Wolfwood to be the wolf in sheep's clothing and I can see why but it feels so much more accurate to me to see him as a lamb in wolf skin.

Bruce isn't the best parent, but a chunk of the issue is that he's an only child. Should he stop Jason and Dick from throwing Damian back and forth like a human ball? Is Tim threatening to bite Cass an issue? Are those death threats serious or not? The poor man is an only child trying to run herd on at least a half dozen feral siblings. He exists in a state of constant confusion.

I.

This isn’t to be mean, but that is simply not the case.

I keep getting bad parent bruce takes and it sucks because all of them aren’t even proper reasoning for his character.

I’m just using you as an example, but hear me out.

Bruce is an extremely smart person, Homie has watched movies and read books, he can learn from situations around him that things are sibling things. Sure, he was excluded as a kid, but that isn’t nearly the main issue why he isn’t the best parent.

homie has so much shit wrong with him, he’s emotionally just not there, he keeps himself stuck in a perpetual state of grief and mourning for his parents of a thing that happened when he was a child, he has been trained by assassins and has experienced loss and pain to an insane extent, he has such an insane extent of paranoia and trust issues that it affects his daily life, is definitely autistic, and has issues with social cues.

I’m trying to properly articulate just why that’s not the case but my brain isn’t working with me so I’m handing this over to my twin @bonebrokebuddy who is far more articulate than me.

Hi, it's Billy, Bones's twin writing because Bones had a hard time putting this into words and I'm more of a canon nitpick than her.

Uh- have you ever. And I mean even once, met an only child.

I promise, if you read even a singular comic, you could tell this take is incredibly out of character.

Bruce isn’t a good parent. He’s also not a bad parent. He loves his kids. He literally could not stop them from pulling dumb shit if they tried and putting themselves into danger.

Bruce is the worlds greatest detective. He knows how to spot and detect emotions and trouble in his kids. He’s The Worlds Greatest Detective.

His issue with being a parent likely comes from having Alfred as a father figure. Imagine having a dad that you can fire at any time, you pay so they can stay with you, and can just leave at any moment if they don’t approve of the person they work for. That will severely fuck up a kid.

His issue isn’t that he’s an only child, it’s that it’s every Robin’s god given right to go against and defy Batman’s orders whenever possible because kids are viscous little buggers who don’t like being told “you can’t do that” even if it’s for their own health, they’ll do it anyway.

After you’ve taught your kids how to exist in deadly situations, they think they’re invincible when it’s because Bruce is doing all he fucking can to make sure his kids don’t get hurt. If they feel like they can make the world a better place, they’ll do it, regardless of the risk because they’re inherently self sacrificing and good people.

Bruce’s issue with parenting is due to his relationship with his kids. Again, it isn’t that he’s an only child, it’s that the kids he adopted are their own people and they are even more stubborn and bad at communication as him.

Even more so, it’s due to the dang narrative.

Conflict between Bruce and his kids that cause them to separate has been the backstory for plenty of solo batkid runs to endure Batman isn’t as involved or the main focus of the run.

Narrative tension is literally the cause of all the bad parent decisions for Bruce, because conflict drives narrative or miscommunications cause the story to lengthen and complicate itself

it’s not as easy as “Bruce is bad dad” because he’s Not. Bruce is good with kids! He has a pouch in his utility belt specifically with suckers for kids!

But Bruce isn't a great world star dad either. He definitely inherited his ability to communicate with people outside crisis situations largely from trainers around the world and his arms-length-distance-at-all-times distance relationship with the butler who raised him.

Despite him being good with kids, his kids have lives of their own with morals and opinions of their own that conflict and clash constantly. It’s not a simple case of “Bruce is a bad dad.”

It’s a case of “everyone has slightly different opinions and approaches to situations so occasionally conflict happens when they clash or interfere with each other” because it’s a comic that tells a story!

Anyways, my recommendation? Pick up a comic. And preferably? Read it. Or watch BTAS if it’s more accessible to you. either works. This opinion isn't your fault most likely, just the quality of the DC fan-content you've been consuming that are incredibly removed from the comics. If you want, DM me at @bonebrokebuddy and I can send you some good quality DC fics with in-character Bruce.

————

Bones here again,

That basically sums up the exact stuff I couldn’t properly describe. I was using you more as an example because I have dozens of bad parent bruce takes in my inbox and I am 90% sure that the cause of them is that they simply haven’t read anything about the character.

Read a comic, read some strictly DC fanfiction, watch some of the many many TV shows and animated movies, there are even motion comics free online to watch that have voice acting and everything!

Being an only child doesn’t make you a bad father.

#bones rants #both Billy and I were just a tad annoyed sorry #just please pick up a comic #please. read a fanfic or watch literally any DC content. #bones replies #dc #dc comics #billy replies #billy rants #billy here. had to edit my text convo from what bones originally posted bc ya boy swears too much over text and it came out as mean. my bad #so now its in a more neutral tone. #but genuinely. read batman year one. or something. #dm me if you want incharacter fic recs. some of them show bruce as a flawed parent (bc he is) but that doesnt make him a bad dad #it just shows how he's not great at communication and therefore not superb at compromise. #bruce is wacky intelligent. hes also got the tism vibes in communication with his kids

Mortal Kombat fans complaining about rare ships and pairings is so funny because that's literally what it's all about. This series is FULL of oddball pairings and duos, do you think this group makes any sense to the other games at all?

#mortal kombat #mortal kombat community #like cmon. it's mortal kombat #these characters are supposed to be able to be paired with anyone in the franchise #and this group is so WACKY and it's FUN!!!! #MK FANS LEARN HOW TO HAVE FUN #this is mostly a rant about the tiktok community because holy shit that place is a cesspool #mk1

The thing that's fun about the Vees is that they're all just horrible people. Like, genuine scum-of-the-earth evil. They feed off of each other's terribleness (and idiocy) and it's just such a recipe for disaster.

Like, everyone knows that Valentino deserves fire and brimstone and everything in-between. He's a predator, he's abusive, he's violent - that is all very evident onscreen.

But Vox and Velvette are bad too! They're all toxic as fuck! It's why they all get along so well!

Vox, especially - so often he's made out to be this guy who got caught up in the wrong crowd (and to each their own! You don't have to agree with my interpretation - that's part of the fun of it!). But, as far as I see it - the man is obsessive, manipulative, unstable, and he does not care who gets hurt so long as he gets his way. He volunteers the "lowest earners" as cannon fodder for Valentino's temper tantrum, for fuck's sake. His whole thing with Alastor, as funny as it is - HUGE red flags, there. This is not a good person.

Velvette - we don't know much about her history, but we do see her onscreen as impulsive, brazen, unapologetic, and bloodthirsty. She has a very "I do what I want, fuck you" attitude, which in and of itself is not necessarily evil, but combined with her involvement with Vox and Valentino - it spells trouble. I'm excited to see more of her next season.

And I mean, the show is set in hell, and these are Overlords. It's kind of a given that they're not gonna be saints. But every so often I see a take that seems to try to soften the sharp edges so to speak, and I just. Yeah, sure. They're people - that means they're complicated and complex. They can hurt, and they can also be hurt, and sometimes it's fun to explore that. But also, I think it's really fun to let them be evil and explore that, too.

A lot of people seem to be afraid to talk about or explore toxic/abusive/morally abhorrent characters. They seem to feel the need to either justify/explain away the bad things, remove them, or very explicitly state that "Character does bad things and so I hate everything about them and also anyone who likes anything about them deserves to rot in hell" (hyperbole here, kids). It's okay to write about characters doing bad things. It doesn't hurt anyone, and it doesn't mean that you approve of what they're doing. Also, it's okay to explore characters that are morally despicable and their complexity. Evil characters aren't always evil all the time. Bad people have feelings, emotions, likes, dislikes, passions, and hobbies. Bad people can be hurt and suffer and be likable. Exploring this in fiction is not bad.

I guess the point I'm trying to make here, in a roundabout way, is write whatever the fuck you want. It doesn't hurt anyone, and if they don't like it, they don't have to read it. They're fictional characters. Go crazy.

#hazbin hotel #the vees #what started out as an attempt at character analysis veered left into 'write what you want rant' territory #i don't even know #i just think it's a shame that people seem afraid to write about certain things because they're afraid it makes them a bad person #it doesn't #that's wacky nonsense #write whatever your freaky little heart desires

Horishito I just done drawing some most beautiful art pieces that I had ever done in a while I'm so proud of myself.

I was right to take time and practice I AM getting better✨

#they're not the mona lisa type of great but more like a sand castle with cute sea shells deco type of great #rant here just because #i joined a discord server with lots of artist friends and we actually live stream drawing and chatting and helping each other #almost every nights it's like a study group I can draw whatever and they would still find nice things in it to ✨praise✨ me #i feel so validated and motivated I draw so much more and they love my PCs too they compliment the lore I buildt for Lya and I'm so touched #and I keep drawing and they keep give me the positive vibes and I return their kinde #*kindness by chatting and compliment them too maybe my grammar is wacky rn but the thing is I'm feeling really good #about myself and what I has achieved #now I'm going to sleep cuz it's 3 a.m I just keep giggling and all #i hope this feeling last longer

I just binged your poppy playtime fanfiction and I'd just like to say I'm hooked, and will be patiently waiting more words to crunch on.

OMGGGGGG Thank you!!!

Unfortunately I am currently studying to be an engineer and it is finals season for me so I haven't been able to write much of anything ATM. However, I can numerically analyze a resistor circuit with multiple voltage sources, so that's good...I guess.

Also, from what I can tell, the green hand is a capacitor. When you hit the input node, the green hand gains a positive charge, where it is then discharged either by hitting the output node or automatically discharged by the grabpack, using what I assume to be an internal battery. While it is true that the green hand can snag electrons from the air and thus slowly discharge, the exact timing means that something within the grabpack is discharging the hand. Also, the charge from the hand would not be enough to activate anything, as the sudden discharge would only activate whatever circuit it was connected to for a second. If it was a motor, then the motor would only fire once, instead of a sustained motion. You wouldn't turn a water wheel with a bucket, even if there was a lot of water in the bucket. Thus, the green hand must only be used to deliver enough charge to activate a signal instead of delivering the power itself.

All this, just to say, there will be art with the next chapter... and maybe some electricity facts idk.

[boyrobottz]

i hate how autism has become a synonym for “creature like” or “quirky.” like that character isn’t weird, he’s autism. that’s not a funny hat, it’s an autism hat. like i thought we were past the age of using autism as an adjective.

also anyone who is autistic but isn’t weird or goofy, or lacks a special interest in anything weird or goofy, is considered “boring,” or anyone who is low functioning is outright ignored. cause yeah that’s not fucking ableist at all.

#vent #rant #i don’t think anyone who does this has any mal intent #but yeah autism ain’t this cute creature disease that makes everyone who has it a quirkatron #it’s an actual disability #that actually affects lives #it was funny for a couple of posts but now this shit’s ridiculous #like if you unironically say tism or tizzy i want you far away from me #and everytime people call this shit out i see others go OH SO I HAVE TO HATE MY AUTISM?? #like no that’s not what they’re saying #you do not have to hate being autistic #but news flash asshole glorifying a disability to be something quirky and cute is bad #i’ve also been seeing this done to ADHD aswell and like #i thought we were past the stereotype that people with ADHD are zany and wacky and can’t sit still

So about to be "political" with something that's "well duh" obvious but also never really "proved" in any way.

So (in the USA, all this will be USA POV) there's a bunch of politicians who want TikTok banned because "IT'S ALL CHINESE EVIL SATANIC ANTI GOD ANTI 'MERICA PROPOGANDA" and...where is that? I've been on TikTok a few months and haven't seen any of that yet. Seen a few right wing OMG CONPIRACY stuff but nothing EVIL COMMIE.

Meanwhile, on Facebook and twitter...

So I few years ago someone broke into my FB account and deleted or otherwise locked it-anyway it's gone and I had to create a new one. I decided to say "the hell with everyone" and really have just a VERY small cross section of people on it and mostly use it for groups (like my work, which is almost impossible to do without being in the FB group for that). Anyway you can say that like 90% of the people on the FB are NOT ultra conservatives. And the ones that you can call "conservative" are aren't really far out there. Yet I'm constantly recommended far right wing videos, groups, articles, etc. "but FB is super liberal"

Then there's twitter. OK my personal twitter has been curated for years and I tend to get what I want BUT I set up social media (including twitter) for the podcast I'm part of (and see our tumblr here at https://heyilike.tumblr.com/ plug plug like and subscribe). That Twitter account only follows a handful of accounts and are not what one would call "conservative" in any way. Yet everyday I get notifications of tweets and recommended follows for EXTREME right wing people.

Anyway. I guess is any "real journalist" wants to test things out. Go ahead. Make some new accounts and watch how everything you're told about TikTok and FB and Twitter is complete bull. (oh wait, it's X now isn't it, I deadnamed it. darn)

#rant #tiktok #facebook #not to mention the wacky conspiracy shit both FB and X like to feed me daily which does come from both sides politically
