okay so we’ve got the twinyards - last name minyard - and their cousin nicky - last name hemmick. twinyards’ mother (tilda) and nicky’s father (luther) are siblings. which means that tilda was probably born tilda hemmick, doesn’t it? so like the twins don’t know who their dad was, but presumably it was someone named minyard, right?? like was she married and changed her name? was she always tilda hemmick and gave [aaron] his dad’s name? cause if she’s a single mom with the father not in the picture, why not just call him aaron hemmick, unless her name was indeed changed to minyard?
help i’m spiralling, please share your thoughts and opinions on this

On this Valentine’s Day please don’t forget about the Palestinian people. Candy is being bought in droves while innocent people are starving. While people are planning romantic dinners for their lovers, Palestinian people are losing their lovers to bombs and snipers. There is no rest for the Palestinian people today. Don’t let them mask what’s really happening behind pink ribbon. Fight for love, find empowerment in your love for others. We will not stop fighting, not for a single day. Palestine will be free.

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.
That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.
That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.
That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.
That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.
That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.
That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.
None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.
I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.
If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.
Celebrate fan work!
To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

I know WFA is too OOC for some people, but I need that shit right now.
I do love seeing the Batfam beating the shit out of each other. I like how messy their relationships are and I have always loved flawed characters.
But idk, man, Batman #138 just really crossed a line for me and I need a reminder that there are other depictions of Bruce that aren't so fucking heinous.
I'll take this shit:
Over this shit:
Any. Fucking. Day.

Edit: seeing a few people saying they can't vote for the nominee option because they know a winner (can we be friends btw) and I'm here to say that counts! They had to be nominated to win, y'all.

in my more manic aftg daydreams, i wonder about neil's teeth.
like he clearly didn't stop off to get braces in his awkward tween years. we're pretty sure his diet wasn't great and we know it wasn't reliable. is he blessed with great teeth and so it isn't an issue? i suspect not...
maybe he has a snaggle? (i'd die if i saw aftg art of neil with a snaggle incisor or something.) maybe a little gap between his front teeth? maybe his bottom teeth are stacked a bit? maybe he gets invisalign when he's older (can't do braces, that's a hazard in exy, but invisalign is alright, he reasons)
(andrew kind of loves the little gap but he also sees how excited neil is to decide to do something for himself, to make a change that he chooses for himself... a change that takes time to commit to, and that means neil isn't going anywhere bc he needs his new invisalign tray in a few weeks. andrew decides he can deal with the cups of water sitting around the apartment with retainers bobbing in them if it means neil stays)

I can't deny that there's a part of me that's absolutely delighted that each time Bruce unjustly went after Jason, the Batkids responded in kind.
This isn't my ideal version of the Batfam, but it does warm my heart seeing Jason's siblings stand up for him.
