just once i would like to see one of those typical batman almost dying scenes where he comes super close to death and then last second his brain is like “no! gotham needs you” and then he survives with the power of whatever the fuck but instead of “gotham needs you” it’s “your children need you”

like yeah gotham is your city to protect or whatever that’s fine and fun but where’s the like… “you have kids at home bruce”

where is it dc

#if this has already happened reply with the comic panel #it probably has already happened but whatever #why am i constantly being criticized. what happened to good job op #im sure you did your best on this post op #i don’t even know what i’m talking about anyway have some dc content #bruce wayne #batman #batfam #batfamily #dc comics #dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #cassandra cain #duke thomas #damian wayne #am i missing anyone #there are just so many

The funniest thing about thomas and co watching the finale and explaining stuffs while they're at it is that they made it worse by a long shot. It's like beating a dead bush with a dead horse while digging their own graves.

Explain that Mari is actually aware that Gabe is Monarch? Doesn't explain why she's going to his house without Chat to beat his ass.

Jokingly saying that Jagged's crocodile is important to the fight? Nice joke, but care to explain where this whole Kung Fu trio and pet plot came from?

Said that they had planned that Chat won't be in the final fight with Hawkmoth since the beginning? Good job, his character turned out has always been this worthless.

It was Amelie at the end and Emelie stayed dead? Good to know the last 8 years of her irrelevance actually became irrelevant.

Said it was actually Marinette's win? Of course when the villain finally achieved their goal it is the hero's victory.

They actually believe that Gabe is a hero? Hooray, so glad they actually believe that the terrorist who has no qualms nor remorse for physically and mentally beating his own son that he enslaved for his own business is a hero.

And that's not including how they don't explain how people become Miraculized despite it not being akumatization, or how Lila isn't affected by the nightmare, or why Gabe unified Tikki and Plagg in Deflagration instead of making the wish despite it doesn't requires him to unify them.

And those were from two episodes alone. Imagine if they had to explain other episodes, like Evolution and Derision. How deep can they dig their own grave?

I hate the way Black characters are treated in comics, but it's leagues better than whatever the fuck yall got going in in fanon. Duke Thomas isn't even a character to yall, he's an accessory to your fave batboy at best and background set dressing so people don't accuse you of being antiblack at worst. "Oh, he's such a new character-" His first appearance was in 2013. Be fucking for real. And again, it's not like yall could use that as an excuse anyway cause half of yall don't read comics in the first place so...what's really the issue here? Right.

Hello! I’m curious to know if you listen to Hozier? Since his music also gives literary and it’d be interesting to know what you think!

Hello! Thanks for the ask

Hozier is wonderful! I love him!

I think he's incredibly creative, and he clearly knows how to write! He also clearly knows so much about the history of music, art, international politics, and so much more. There's nothing I admire more in an artist than some real intelligence. It shows in his command of the language. I've been listening since "Take Me to Church" went viral. I was absolutely in tears listening to that for the first time.

One point I've been thinking about lately is the way he wrote "Nina Cried Power" and how it's different from the way someone like Taylor Swift name-drops in her music.

The point here is that Hozier has immense respect for the people he mentions in the song, his obvious knowledge and respect for these people is ever-present. He thematically connects them from the perspective of their own lives into the message of the song. Meaning that it is the type of song they would co-sign. It's so moving for this very reason, it's like the people in his song are singing with him. In "Nina Cried Power" he's clearly using southern-inspired gospel-esque blues to sings about the way in which civil rights activists, and those musicians who broke the chains away, sang their activism into life. It's so lovely for him to use musicality stemming from Afro-American culture to sing about the major civil rights activist and artists from the era. He's literally brilliant, and I love his perspective on how the US civil rights movement impacted Irelands own civil rights movement. He's fucking brilliant.

And this line brings me to tears, "And I could cry power/ power has been cried by those stronger than me/ straight into the face that tells you to rattle your chains." He's so compelling both in storytelling and in intercultural dialogue. Beautiful. And how beautiful it is to remind us that no matter the location, your words and actions matter- activism matters. Power is with the people.

What a writer- what a message to send. Especially these days, when so many major public figures are refusing to speak on current events. How important it is to remind the public that there is no real reason to not speak up in times of injustice.

As opposed to Swift who can only name-drop people like Dylan Thomas in relation to being able to self-deprecate. Her impulse towards self-obsession shows in how she even represents the lives of others as ultimately being about her. It shows an immense disrespect and obvious distain for the people she writes about. She clearly only thinks about others when considering some hierarchal form of self-adulation. People are either better or worse than her- however, it is always about her. Dylan Thomas was an incredibly vocal activist and revolutionary spirit in his day, and Swift puts him in a cheap shot about herself? Painful, stupid, gag. Thomas was an avowed anti-fascist during the rise of the most horrific fascist regimes we've ever seen; as such he would be horrified at being eulogized by someone like Swift who lives and breathes money and power. I wish I could go back in time and unhear her besmirching his name.

Dylan Thomas would love Hozier though :) And so do I!

But anyway, I could totally write some literary criticism on Hozier, and you know what- it would be amazing because he is rich texture to dive into. His command of metaphor and mimetic technique is honestly so impressive! That actually sounds really fun and is totally on my to-do list now :)

y’all: the sanders sides fandom isn’t aro/aphobic! 🥺

also y’all:

-“you know, the sides are probably all aroace because they’re not really human so they don’t really understand attraction on a human level and are incapable of feeling it because they’re not human.”

-“guys i’m writing an asexual/aromantic side and he’s so sad and tragic and lonely and he just wants a lover so bad but it was just written in the stars that he’ll never have one and it’s so angsty!”

-“patton is asexual because he’s so pure he would never have sex!”

-“remus is aromantic because all he cares about is sex and he doesn’t want to deal with real feelings.”

-“obviously logan is aroace because he doesn’t have feelings!”

(just to clarify i do NOT agree with any of these quotations these are examples of things i’ve seen that i heavily heavily DISAGREE with and if you agree with any of them you and me are not going to get along whatsoever.)

There are SIX SONGS in the season finale?? Let's goooo

#sanders sides #thomas sanders #i had figured that it must have gotten overwhelming with a series that has such a massive and vocal audience #I've been there too honestly #and i thought few recent episodes being a bit stale was fair criticism but the 'we have to wait too long for more content' stuff... #idk always hit me the wrong way I cannot stand by those #also like when i say i support creators taking time with their projects and prioritising their mental health I MEAN it #i mean it even if it's someone more famous. I don't think I'm owed explanations and details to decide if I'll 'allow' it #i would have been happy enough to wait on the finale already tbh. and now I'm so stoked!! also idc the latest asides was great #someone come talk with me about sanders sides!!

tim drake is NOT underrated/underappreciated 😭😭😭 he's literally the fandom's darling boy. and i'm not even trying to be a hater. it's literally true.

you know who is underrated? duke thomas. and the foxes.

#this isn't anti tim. i know shocker #i haven't actually read a lot from the foxes but from what i've seen they seem really cool. the whole family i mean #dc #tim drake #duke thomas #fandom #fandom critical

[motherofplatypus]

An idea that i don't see people talk about is Chloe being Adrien's sister figure. She had mommy issue earlier than Adrien, then when Emilie was dead, she felt unconscious responsibility to protect and take care of him. All of her affections are all platonic. That's why she hates when Adrien having new friends, bcs they took him away from her. Like, imagine if Chloe has brother complex.

I swear there's a lot that can be explored from their relationship if the writers aren't cementing themselves in "Make everything about Adrienette" and "Adrien is a damsel in distress".

Sigh, another day another wasted potential the show had.

did my daily little scroll through the duke thomas tag and while i did see a lot of bullshit like always, i also found a couple of gems (aka posts that actually talk about duke himself)

but one thing that’s annoying is when people know the bare minimum about duke, and then in order to combat the “you write him as being boring” accusation, they go full send and write duke as being very chaotic, silly, absurd, etc.

don’t get me wrong, duke is definitely a snarky, witty, funny character. at appropriate times ofc.

but his story and character aren’t completely sunshiney in comparison to everyone. his parents are completely mentally gone. he was forced to move around from foster home to foster home. every time he’s awakened his meta human powers, it was through force and a loss of autonomy. literally in BATO 2019, duke is depressed and has ptsd from the karma incident and it affects him so much, and then he goes through another traumatizing experience of getting his shadow powers awakened by force, without his consent or knowledge.

what i’m trying to say is plsss just look at duke as a person and character. he’s not an innocent doormat, and likewise, he’s not just the funny silly guy messing around all the time. just like every other bat, he’s been through so much shit and he very much struggles with the mental burden of his job just like they do. if you understand addressing jason’s death or damian’s childhood, then think of duke as someone who deserves the same attention.

#duke thomas #batfam #critical #the signal #ppl keep making him so surface level like stopppp #just read his fucking comics it won’t kill you #he doesn’t even have a lot
