Observing peoples reactions to morally gray or black actions committed by different characters is so funny. Throughout all of G. War the character tags were chock-full of people unironically enraged claiming “Bruce isn’t even capable of doing something bad like that.” about an action that is pretty well in line with his character journey thus far, meanwhile there are still new posts that gain traction that open with lines like “I know Jason has committed his fair share of sins/crimes but” like bro when. In 2010?

Also. The whole premise of the b*tfamily™ that you so love is built on the load bearing wall being that they are a crime family. Hell, do people just collectively forget the part where Bruce manufactures and freely uses weapons with his own furry brand logo plastered all over them, causing all sorts of 'explosions and more!' property damage all over the streets of Gotham? Pretty sure that makes him a terrorist but you people don't feel the need to go around reminding fandom of that every five minutes.

#as someone who loves post crisis Jason more than the average person who considers themselves a Jason fan: #how much longer are we going to pretend that’s still where we are today #to all the people who get so fucking worked up anytime Jason does something other than sit there and look pretty #what exactly do you want to see him do in comics anyway? vacuum his apartment? #like please let him fuck shit up for people whose plans were messed up anyway please let him have opinions and act on them #kelseethe #these people assume fans like Jason *despite* all his ‘wrongdoings' #when we repeatedly post about why Jason fucking with people was epic and cool and justified #while they sit there being upset that their traumatized problematic fav with a god complex #acts like a traumatized problematic bitch with a god complex lol #‘do Jason fans even know why they like his character’ seems like someone is in need of some introspection #disclaimer: l'm not a bruce anti. you know that liking a problematic character doesn't mean wanting to erase #every atrocity he committed and putting him through a redemption arc #I just have low tolerance for the utter ignorance of some of his fans lol #and that of his writers who market him as the agreeable voice of reason #while simultaneously portraying him as an abusive father + war criminal lol #the way I used the terms ‘morally gray/black’ here is subjective. #personally I don’t consider killing drug dealers/kingpins in a fictional universe morally gray because I’m not a fucking narc lol #but abusing your son for over a decade then literally breaking his brain is undeniably morally black in & out of universe

Making definitive statements about atypical relationship setups being innate warning signs just does not fly for me. Like obviously in full context that 'exclusive fwbs' thing going around is a straight man just trying to fuck a woman without fully committing to a relationship and fully disregarding the latter's feelings and boundaries, and I'd agree that someone asking for a relationship like that SHOULD be treated with scrutiny and great caution, but there are absolutely situations where something of that description could be a mutually positive setup. I'm sorry but it IS entirely context dependent.

I really think it's better to teach people to ask themselves 'Hey what is the person's reasoning for this setup? Is it mutually agreeable and fulfilling the desires and commitment levels of everyone involved or is it a way for one person to benefit at the expense of the other? Are your boundaries and needs well established and mutually communicated, and are these boundaries and needs respected by the setup for this relationship?' etc (which you should be asking in ANY romantic/sexual relationship, even more conventional ones)

That's the actual mature and cautious option there rather than just writing off anything atypical or lacking specific types of commitment as dangerous. In my humble opinion

#I literally had an 'exclusive FWBs' type relationship about a year ago. #It was a setup where both of us found that agreeable because NEITHER of us were able to commit to a formal attempt at a romantic #partnership but agreed to fuck exclusively literally just for safe sex reasons lol. Because (astonishingly) there are reasons to #be sexually exclusive beyond 'this is a committed partnership' or 'weird controlling abusive behavior' #I broke off the FWBs part for entirely unrelated reasons to the relationship dynamic itself. It was amicable and we're still friends #I would enter this exact same kind of relationship again with the right person in the right circumstances

A Measure of Character - Gold the Tenrec, and Standing Tall as Reality Collapses, With a Dash of History to Taste

It is no exaggeration to say that dimensional shenanigans were an essential piece of Archie Sonic's identity, handily one of the it's longest standing tropes and probably the first thing to truly set it apart from the games and cartoon that inspired it. No joke; this is something the comic starting dabbling with no sooner than Issue 02, way the hell back in 1993, so we might even be looking at the point of origin of this trope for the franchise as a whole, really. If there ever comes a point where it strikes you that Sonic just can't seem to stay put in a single plane of reality, just know that it's all part of a long treasured legacy spanning decades.

Suffice to say there's a fair bit of history to be found here, and set to play front-runner for the re-boot's refurbished take on the concept as she was, I like to think that Gold the Tenrec had the opportunity to revitalize it for the new order of things in some interesting ways, with the introduction of a much more expansive element of character than the comic had ever previously enjoyed being chief among them.

That is a surprisingly loaded statement, and it's one that requires a bit of contextual finagling to fully back up. So let's kick this off by looking back on some recent, and some not so recent, history…

So before we can dig into what Gold might have contributed at the character level of things, we need to do a quick summation of how the comic played about with it's notion of alternate dimensions the first time around. Chiefly speaking, when circumstance brought the action out onto the dimensional stage, it was happening in one of two ways; either somebody was heading out to get something specific done before heading right back to Mobius, or our intrepid heroes were dealing with some trouble falling on their heads on the home front.

Nobody was really "traveling abroad" for it's own sake, is what I mean to say, and this is pretty handily epitomized by Gold's most direct predecessor as resident dimension hopper, none other than Sonic the Hedgehog himself.

Sonic's history of breaking dimensional boundaries is a fittingly storied one. Whether it's getting launched into a confab with a trio of demigods after collecting his billionth power ring, being led by an actual, literal suit to the Casablanca homage dimension wherein he fights the robots from MST3K, to getting hauled off to the lawyer dimension after getting framed by his evil mirror universe doppelganger, this was stuff that our favorite needle mouse just kind of kept having happen to him. And I mean that rather literally.

On most any occasion where Sonic found himself in another time and place, there was an actual guiding influence leading him there, putting him in position to help those worlds in times of dire need and with no speedy blue heroes of their own to handle things. This would've been on a fairly regular basis in-universe, too, and all with said guiding influence gleefully playing coy on just why they were sending the poor guy off on some odyssey or another on what at least had to have been every couple weeks. Which on it's own would still probably be all well and good were it not for the fact that Sonic just never really had very much to show for all the work he'd put in while traipsing across creation.

This is a pretty direct consequence of what went on at the production end of things. See, same as it is today over at IDW, Archie Sonic developed an extensive catalogue of specials and side series over the years, and often as not, it was one & done day trips out into the multiverse that you'd find filling the pages of those specials. As a result, almost none of the places Sonic had gone to and the people he'd met would ever come up again.

This would be the shape of things right up until Ian Flynn took up the writer's chair, but then all that really amounted to was things veering off totally in the opposite direction with alternate universes becoming the least prevalent they'd ever been in the comic's history. Which is hardly surprising, given all the other things Ian was taking a machete to back at the start of his tenure, but the fact that we never got to enjoy the majesty that was Sally McAcorn in an actually decent art style still stings the heart to this day.

Put all this together and you're left with a dimension hopper who never seemed all that impressed with all the hopping around he'd done, which in turn leaves the sheer scope of it all bereft of any particular sense of grandeur. And it's on that one simple point that Gold represents such a major sea change.

It's through Gold that we finally would've gotten someone who truly appreciated the scale they were operating at, akin as it might've been at first to the appreciation one gets for the ocean as they're drowning in it.

Getting jettisoned to parts unknown without warning and with no real home to turn back to regardless, all manner of monstrous nastiness lurking about in the aeither, and with only themselves to rely on to pull them through it as reality tears itself apart. There's really no overlooking this particular element of… sustained severity, let's call it, characterizing the situation Gold and company find themselves in that Sonic never had to deal with. Learning how to cope with that severity would've marked one of the most pivotal turning points of their journey, and while it's something I think Team Psych on the whole would've eventually achieved, Gold would've represented it at it's purest.

Remember, Gold entered this story having only ever known the situation with the Genesis Portals for what it could be at it's most cataclysmic, finding herself powerless to do much of anything about it time and again. From that initial incident that left her stranded in a foreign world and then having to stand by as the closest thing she had to family worked tirelessly to bring that same kind of armageddon to their door, she was about as close to rock bottom as one can be without full-on hitting the ground.

It's hardly any wonder that she took that desperate gamble to seize the opportunity Silver and Schlemmer presented her even when confined to The Council's seat of power. It was probably the closest thing to hope she'd felt for a good many years.

And that's all it really takes, isn't it? A single spark of hope to lift up the spirit and help it find strength in the darkest circumstances. We can definitely see it work out for Gold like this. When that climatic scuffle with the Second Devourer seemed to take a fatal turn and the doom she'd evaded for so long caught up with her, Gold was able to face it head on, standing tall and with a smile. Quite the drastic turn from the way she'd previously been left a panicked wreck in comparably less drastic situations.

And it's through that same newly forged confidence and optimism that Gold would be able to make a rather simple but direly important contribution to the team later down the line. When the moments inevitably come that the team find themselves lacking direction or at risk of getting crushed by the sheer enormity of the task before them, Gold would be the one best able to keep the spirit of their mission alive by reminding them that even as reality itself insists on collapsing around them, they've stayed standing. They're the ones who've proven that this is not, in fact, the end, and that they'll be able to push on through whatever grisly happenstance comes their way.

It's that all too critical element of perseverance that Team Psych would need to keep them heading forward, and it's only fitting that the one who'd most known that kind of hopelessness by heart would be the one to ensure they overcome it and see thing's through to the end.

But, of course, there's still the matter of how they'll actually go about doing that. Because all this heartfelt ishkabibble aside, reality collapsing in on itself is still very much a practical concern they'd need to get a handle on, and there's only so much headway the power of friendship can grant you on something like that when your name isn't Sonic! That's an effort that calls for more than just three sets of hands, and rounding up that extra support was always going to be the natural progression for Team Psych's story.

How those efforts were going to shape up, though, may well have resulted in something… peculiarly familiar, but we'll get into the implications of that another time. And hopefully it'll be before this time next year!

it is so silly when ppl are like “transitioning as an adult should be restricted/illegal because it’s not medically necessary and the results are permanent!” bc like… we do so many things in modern medicine that aren’t strictly necessary & have permanent outcomes and yet… we do them.

my mom went in for a voluntary corrective knee surgery to remove part of her knee. my dad didn’t need to have his stomach removed, he chose to do that. there’s a content creator called footlessjo who chose to have a below the knee amputation. people everywhere ask their doctors for gastric sleeve surgeries, or corrective eye surgery. not to mention almost of these surgeries have a higher regret rate than transitioning.

if we only did medical procedures or treatments when people were dying the quality of life for everyone would go down. if we trust other adults to make permanent decisions regarding things like whether they should keep an organ or a limb, then there’s no reason not to trust trans people who want to medically transition.

#transgender #transphobia #trans rights #it is just very silly to me #a lot of ppl compare transitioning to plastic surgery (which is not a bad comparison for a few reasons) #but i think it’s more useful when interacting with transphobia to compare it to stuff like this #bc things like removal of something that is ruining your quality of life (a limb or organ) is a very agreeable concept #and the only time people seem to have a problem with it is when ppl with uteruses and/or trans people do it #that’s it! #in a personal story my dad had stomach cancer when i was like 12 #it was stage one and it was very localized so my dad was given a choice #try radiation to kill it or remove your whole fucking stomach #both had a pretty good chance but obviously the stomach removal was the better chance so he did that. and no one! not a single person! #tried to talk my dad out of it! my dad was like 80 when he got stomach cancer ok. that man had a long life full of delicious food. #no one ever went ‘hey man you know if you remove your stomach you’ll never have one again right?? that’s a permanent decision’ #‘and also you might still have to do radiation anyways so it could all be for nothing so why don’t you just not change anything!’ #no one said that! they all said ‘wow you really commit huh? good for you! and good luck!’ #tw cancer mention #tw medical #tw surgery mention

every time i go to the doctors with my mother i try to explain the whole plot of dead ringers to her in the waiting room with hushed tones so that the nurses don’t hear me. if i was a doctor i would watch dead ringers every night and constantly make little references to my patients and probably be sued for malpractice. i would have little replicas of beverly’s special medical instruments on my shelf for sure.

#probably i would not have time to watch dead ringers every nigjt if i was a doctor but i would still recommend it to my patients #i got the forms i needed signed done yay #my doctor was very agreeable which is always nice

It is not classist that Jason, a vigilante in a *family of vigilantes*, is violent like the rest | just | because he comes from a poor family

What's (more likely) classist is writers thinking he needs to be taught right vs wrong from Bruce and co and that he consequently makes snap judgments out of some childish grudge-fueled rebellion which makes him dangerous the way a toddler holding a knife is dangerous

#that dumb godzilla vs kong beast wrld issue is a prime example of what I'm talking abt #but I can't even say that's | classism | per se #cause it's also just a product of writers not liking him solely for being in opposition to their bbyg bruce #kelseethe #when will people get it in their heads that shooting someone isn’t “more" violent #than cracking their skulls on cement or ripping their bodies to shreds “but keeping them alive” #things the other bats do pretty regularly and with quite a bit of pride too #it will never not be weird that people see Jason remorselessly poisoning a child trafficker who did it for EXTRA cash #or shooting+killing a dude who was deliberately poisoning his young kid and wife with a drug similar to street fentanyl #and think he should have his edges rounded out #people who say Jason can afford to be “less violent” #are accidentally “Jason should kill less sob sob urban legends is good” schmucks #which is kinda more pathetic than being his anti like at least they *know* what they're saying #even if he was more rageful like in rh gotham war instead of cold/detached like in utrh I'd have that any day #over cheer Jason's “sob sob bad people dying still has consequences I don't really know how to cope with so rubber bullets see” nonsense #ever since his appearance in batman 408. everything Jason has done #he did knowing exactly why he was doing it and what the consequence(s) would be #he believes the extent of “harm” a person causes is always their choice #and he doesn't do more for the sake of revelling in the pain he causes the way bruce does #but whatever he does do he never tries to sugarcoat or downplay which makes it all the more agreeable #and he certainly doesn’t convince himself he does it out of love or compassion or some other mushy horeseshit #like sorry you're of feeble mind but I'm not a wuss and I think it's very logical and cool lol

So, my doctor gave me some new anxiety meds in an attempt to keep me from getting in trouble for fighting my coworkers, and today is day 1 of me taking them. Which like. I am less anxious, so I can’t fault him for that one. And I definitely think before I speak now. I’m not sure I remember how to speak, but at least I’m thinking before I attempt it?

#I’ll be fine there’s like a week or so adjustment period and we don’t go back from spring break until Monday #I’m super happy but like standing and talking are parts of my job #which I’m evidently trying to keep for some reason idk #I guess so I can buy more stuff to never use #I do want to go on vacation so that’s a motivator I guess #jlktalks. #I’m not more agreeable tho I’m just politer while still plotting revenge

today’s arab cultures class abt the arab diaspora in latin america yuppp its like this with us🤞🤞🤞🤞

#it is very interesting tho talked abt how usa and canada do have a focus on like hyphenating or keeping a social difference ex. a food made #by someone from the diaspora becomes ‘syrian canadian’ food for example #whereas in latin america there is no need to be like. BTW. we are not the same as them #like people are much more easily integrated into latine culture while still maintining and staying connected to their arab identities #also discussions of how arabs and latine cultures share similar values and attitudes and like etc etc w food music whatever basically #<- that was described badly prof said it better. but yk #similar values is not the right word. but attitudes and whatever align more than w like usamerica yk. its that third world feel and chaos #and i think a lot of this agreeableness comes from senses of community rather than like.

@liildenniison (continued from here):

“Don’t need to!” Dani replied as she smirked at her friend. “You still followed along even after I was vague on where I wanted us to go, so now you’re just going to have to wait until we get there to find out!” With that, the redhead chuckled, turning away from Ferdie as she continued to lead on to wherever they were going. There wasn’t even a reason as to why she wasn’t telling him, merely choosing not to do so because of how easily swayed her friend was when she told him that there was something she wanted to show him but he had to follow her first in order to know. If he had asked her earlier about where they were going, than Dani might have told him, but now she wanted to keep the suspense up and so Ferdie will have to deal with waiting until they get there. “Besides, it wouldn’t matter if I tell you now when we’re almost there anyways. Just hang on for a few more minutes, can you?”

She definitely had him in check with that one. To think, if only Ferdie wasn’t so inclined to follow along first and ask questions later, he might have been granted those answers—but when his friend knew he’d hang on for the ride no matter where they ended up, what incentive was there to tell him? He thought he’d broken this habit after about the millionth time of getting in trouble for agreeing to his twin’s schemes in childhood, but maybe that just applied when Morty was involved. Dani was a new friend who hadn't yet given him a reason to distrust, so he didn't expect anything bad, and anyway what if he wasn't quick enough to agree and missed out on something good? Naturally he had to take her up on the offer. “Surprises are dangerous,” he posited just to play the devil’s advocate, despite the fact that he was still contentedly following Dani’s lead. “What if it disappoints? Wouldn’t you wish you had just told me instead of wasting time keeping it secret?”

I reckon Iris still likes Carlos and will dislike Tk/ Reufse to divorce Carlos

Yeah, it kind of seemed like there would be some tension there for some reason??? but like what’s not to like about TK...he’s not perfect but he’s definitely likeable and a people person! But there are a lot of feelings going into this... like Iris has a lot going on and letting go of marriage to Carlos could be hard even if it’s what has to happen. They need to get on it fast. It’s hard to believe that a divorce could happen in 8 weeks.
