One of my biggest pet peeves is the justice league being labelled as " The Avengers of DC" and its like. No? The avengers are law enforcement. The Justice League are volunteers

#its like -- captain america is the staple of US military and Superman is a public servant #the one avenger member who has no bounds or legal obligation is tony and its bc hes rich. you could argue that he actually lost #autonomy when shield recruited him because like. protection isn't necessary tied to 'good.' the avengers protect the planet bc sure #its what they believe in and feel like its their duty and yada yada but ultimately they're self serving and most of their #help is accidental. i say most of bc we've seen they abstain from getting involved unless they have a common interest #with dc its like. you have these people in a position of privilege (having superpowers -- which gives them a spot of advantage to ppl who #dont have it) who do the right thing because they WANT TO. and they can stop at any time because nothing stops them. #they COULD say 'yeah you're on your own. we don't really care anymore. duces!' but they Dont. #because through its many flaws dc realizes that goodness isn't only a choice -- its a responsibility #theres probably better ways to say this but. alas #batman #superman #wonder woman #green arrow #aquaman #the justice league #tjl #justice league #dc #dc comics #text #text post

This whole "simp martin" martin thing has got me thinking

Like

Jon: sex isnt on the table for me

Martin (who still cant even believe he got THIS far): thats not gonna be a problem for me

jon: yeah, don't expect sex me from, I rarely--if ever--desire it

martin, ecstatic at what all that leaves on the table: THAT'S WHERE YOU DRAW THE LINE???

jon, a little horrified: I have never seen anyone so excited to learn that sex is out of the equation

martin: I THOUGHT YOU HATED ME FOR A SOLID YEAR

jon: ...

martin: THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER

#martin is like WE CAN HOLD HANDS AND WE CAN HUG AND WE CAN CUDDLE AND WE CAN KISS AND I CAN WASH YOUR HAIR AND RUB YOUR BACK AND HOLD YOU-- #AND YOU CAN SIT ON MY LAP AND BORROW MY SWEATERS AND I CAN MAKE YOU COFFEE AND WE CAN GO TO THE PARK AND WE CAN GO OUT TO DINNER AND #and he just keeps going #martin blackwood voice THERE'S SO MUCH OUTSIDE OF SEX I NEVER EVEN EXPECTED YOU TO BE INTERESTED IN ME NOW YOU'RE SAYING WE CAN DO #ALL THESE OTHER THINGS?????? THIS IS GREAT NEWS I CAN'T WAIT #listen. listen. he's head over heels. and extremely enthusiastic. I love him #tma #the magnus archives #jmart #jonmartin #martin blackwood #jon sims #ask murderandcoffee #anonymous

friendly reminder that Neteyam is a well-adjusted kid who has a good relationship with his parents, that he tries his darnedest to be a good warrior because he genuinely looks up to his dad and wants to be like him, and that the idea that Jake and Neytiri are "forcing" him to be perfect, that they "stole his childhood" or that he's "not allowed" to be a kid, etc. are all pure fanfiction with little to no evidence in canon thanks bye

#avatar #avatar 2 #neteyam #given how hesitant Jake is to let Neteyam fight I can absolutely GUARANTEE you that there was almost certainly NEVER an interaction... #...in which Neteyam said ''hey Mom and Dad I'm gonna go hang out with Lo'ak and Kiri now'' #and Jake and Neytiri reply ''no son you're too old for such childish things you must come do Adult Tasks that you secretly hate instead #so you can be the Perfect Future Olo'eyktan™" #THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN #AND IT'S NOT “IMPLIED” TO HAVE HAPPENED EITHER #Y'ALL MADE THAT UP IN YOUR HEADS #along with the idea that Neteyam secretly hates his lot in life and is internally yearning to be A Normal Kid™ #guys Neteyam WANTS to be a warrior he WANTS follow in Jake's footsteps he strives so hard because HE *WANTS* TO OF HIS OWN ACCORD #there is absolutely d i d d l y s q u a t that suggests this path is being “forced” on him #or that he is being secretly ~crushed under the pressure~ and Just Wants to Be Free or w/e #you. made. that. up. #it's not a canon aspect of his character #and. look. if you wanna explore the idea of him being ''crushed under pressure'' in a fanfic #because you find it interesting or it helps you work through your own stuff then hey be my guest #but once you start saying stuff like #''oh i feel so bad for [canon] Neteyam because he died before he could break free of his parents' toxic influence'' #Shut Up™ #neteyam's parents were not a toxic influence; he was never forced into being something he didn't want to be; his childhood was not “stolen” #he did not have anything to “break free” of. you are injecting extra layers of tragedy that aren't actually there #you are giving yourself extra grief for things that were never canon #stahp #feel free to write whatever you want in fanfiction but please i am begging you #to be aware of which ideas are actually present in the movie vs. which ones are just fanfiction

In the canon in my mind I ignore all the deaths and revivals and retcons and pretend that Jason was the only one to die because every time they kill another batfam member off only to revive them later, it loses its meaning in general, but especially because it's kinda like a slap in the face for Jason's arc every time it happens, as well as for why his relationship with Bruce became so strained. Bruce's grief from losing Jason is one of the most defining arcs of his character. Going from Professional but Warm to Cold and Distant and almost Brutal, being closer to the 'No killing' line than ever, only to be pulled back into the light and forced to open up again when Tim came around.

It goes unsaid that it's defining for Jason, Red Hood, ect. How his views on the afterlife would've changed, how his value of self was affected and relationships strained, how there's likely gaps in his memory.

I hate that every time they do a cheap kill for shock value it completely overshadows the trauma and affect on these characters that was caused by Jason's murder, that deserves to be explored, and that I personally want to see them actually, properly reconcile and heal from.

I would say Damian is the only other member to actually die but it was during his childhood with the League, and I doubt it happened only once. There was a headcanon somewhere about how he had brown eyes but they turned green because of the Pit and the family didn't realise Damian had ever died until they found old baby pictures of him and saw the colour change. I personally really like that idea too. So essentially they didn't know until much later.

Anyway, that's the Batfam storyline headcanon in my mind.

#I'm still debating on Steph #But I don't know how I feel about it. I'm leaning towards no #Before anyone is like 'Writers do it to keeo things interesting-' I don't care it's not interesting lmao #If you're only good plot is to kill someone off that's already been killed before just for them to come back again in another issue #Then it's not interesting. It's not a good plot device. It's comics. You can do anything and you choose something overdone? #Have someone fuck an alien or something do something that's actually unique or fun or whatever #Jason Todd #Red Hood #Bruce Wayne #Batman #Damian Wayne #Robin #Batfam #Batfamily

There's no way any anti who throws the "go file your taxes" insult is actually an adult, right? 'Cause an adult would know you literally only file your taxes once a year and only at a like really specific time of year usually :/

#like if you're gonna tell me to ''go do X adult task'' at least make it an adult task I have to do every day #like dishes or some shit #so you don't come off like a toddler who doesn't understand how the adult world works #I mean that's still a weak as hell insult because the dishes take at most an hour if they're particularly dirty #but at least I do that every day so it kinda makes sense #taxes are a once a year event #it's not like they need to be filed every month :/ #''go take care of your children'' is wildly misogynistic so that one's not allowed either even if I had children #adults do in fact do things besides ''work taxes and make/care for babies'' #like >18 antis are in for a world of backlash when they hit 18 and realise their hobbies/interests didn't suddenly disintegrate #just anti things #anti bs #proshipper safe

The Spider And Her Demons

YA Australian urban fantasy/horror

about a Malaysian-Chinese girl who’s half spider-demon, just trying to keep her head down and survive high school

when she accidentally kills and eats a man in front of the most popular girl at school, they strike up a strange friendship and she starts to learn more about herself and the supernatural world

aroacespec/sapphic ish

#The Spider And Her Demons #Sydney Khoo #loveozya #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #you give me a teenage girl with giant hair spider legs who scuttles across her bedroom wall on page 3 #and then eats a man and i am already sold. #also aus books are always so familiar compared to US books :) #and yes sexuality stuff is ambiguous but basically: a bunch of discussion on relationship hierachies (ie friendship equally/more important) #themes of feeling unlovable bc you're different and different forms of love #multiple times the MC says she has no interest in dating or relationships and also is touch (and maybe sex) repulsed #- but of course that Also has to do with the whole Being A Monster thing #and it definitely shows some kind of attraction to dior - ie looking at her lips/bare skin; blushing; etc #and ends on sort of hand kiss / 'is this something??' vibes #I asked the author and they said they see them as QPR / platonic soulmates but are not at the point where they would know what to call it #which makes total sense to me! #the part of me who wants more obvious aroace YA wishes it was a little more specific #but also I DO love ambiguity and I think it wouldn't be true to the characters #who are clearly not even ready to start figuring that stuff out. #and also. aroacespec sapphics is like. also something i want #also like. I think it's reductive to assume just because 'looks at lips' is a common allo attraction trope....doesn't necessarily mean #it has to be that. yknow. #anyway. i loved it a lot. #gross spidergirl (affectionate)...... #also dior is such an interesting and complex character. like another book could have made her nicer or less fucked up

Look how cool this kiln load! Literally every piece is my new favorite, even the two that are only glaze tests (good ones! I will do that again!)

#it was on the club committee meeting night so i had maximum people coming through like 'oh that's great! how good!' which is nice for ego #also a lot of 'oh you're interested in glazing then' bc a lot of people in the club do pretty understated glazes #whereas i am into colour of any and all forms #i particularly like the magic of glazing but really anything that will give me pretty #pottery #made things

Not to defend Lu Guang's hypocrisy, but.

Can you imagine losing your best friend and deciding not to save them, knowing that you have the power to? And not only making this decision once, but day after day for the rest of your life? Being aware that you could go back at any given moment, and still persistently choosing not to? Can you imagine ever moving on? Living with yourself? Going about your day with the knowledge that not only did you let them die, but you're also continuing to let them die at all times by not doing anything? Can you imagine not going insane?

#I think maybe that would be possible if this was a one time decision that you'd have to make on the spot. #maybe the rational thought of endangering everyone else in the world by altering the timeline could be enough to keep you from doing it #but when you're a natural time traveler... #at some point there'd be a moment. when you'd be laying in your bed at night thinking about this person #remembering. looking at their picture. and the grief and the longing would get the best of you #and no sense of moral responsibility would be able to stop you #link click #moje #time travel is such an interesting concept because it kinda destroys the meaning of things like death #a normal person has no choice but to accept death. but could a time traveler ever do the same?

the thing is, there's a point at which pining just becomes a sort of self-harm, and that can actually be a really interesting angle to write about, the reasons why someone might cling to a romantic attraction that they believe is hopeless to the point that it hurts them, digging the wound open again and again instead of letting it heal

(and what happens then, if the attraction is finally reciprocated? what do you do when you GET what you've wanted for so long that the wanting itself has carved itself in your heart? is it good? maybe. is it EASY? well.)

#things i am considering tonight #i do enjoy pining up to a point but there is a point at which. like. this isn't romantic anymore you're just hurting yourself #still an interesting story! #but a different one

my thoughts on modern lupin

#lupin iii #zenigata #how little modern lupin cares about zenigata makes me sick. He was everything at one point. Spits on the floor #hes sidelined or stripped of any joy or straight up missing and it makes me so upset #you gave him a little guy to make him more interesting (sidenote: he was interesting without the little guy. you're lucky i like yata) #and then you barely show him OR the guy!!!!!!! #whatevar. its not like this is a new thing for lupin to do it's just been egregious lately #i mean dezaki locked him in a cage for an entire movie it's not JUST modern. it's just especially modern

a few things to say okayy

So the armanlou woah it is absolutely insane how their symbiosis is quite literally symbioticing and it is the body language in both of them that makes it. I see louis with his arm around armand trying to snuggle in closer armands arm is leaned up against his space louis is quite literally on the verge of sitting on him. Like they have a whole couch and they need to be in each others vacinity like THAT (knees touching and all)

the motions as louis is hypnotic in ways of how he does move armand is hypnotic in ways he does not. Louis is oh so graceful even in his cattiness he has that type of flowy nature that you cannot stop to look at--animated in his art. Armand is very still statuesque yes hypnotic to see the small ways he moves but even more entrancing to see how he does not move--statuesque in his art. (Humanesque [as louis is the most human vampire] hypnotic attraction vs Alien hypnotic attraction)

The height in the way directed. The framing always allows for Louis to be shorter--Louis is not in the forefront of it. (Yes a blockade between Louis and Daniel) The space itself also presents us these image of two beings illuminating in the light vs daniel surrounded by greys to the point of hes gray himself (oh yes his shirt blends in with the greys around him... rather than w/ louis-armand who's colors pop out in the warm background)

also 🚨👹the groan 👹🚨 featured nearing the end of it

Hey, Star Trek Writers... -taps the glass-

#star trek #the only people from Voyager's main cast I could see wanting to be a captain are Chakotay ??? maybe? and DEFINITELY Harry Kim #Harry Kim is the only guy on that ship who I'd actually cheer and scream and cry and click my heels if he became captain #bc it's actually something I think he'd be suited for AND it fits with his personality/goals...<3 #like I saw a clip from Picard and like...Seven of NINE??? Why would she want to be a captain?? I think in that case 'making captain' is jus #shorthand for 'we finally accept you into structured society and you're no longer an outcast' which I do NOT like #also Tuvok's a captain???? Why???? Nothing about Tuvok screams captain material or that he'd even WANT to be a captain #I imagine him being chief of security or a professor (or both) until retiring - MAYBE a first officer #OH same with Janeway only she would HATE being an admiral and loves being captain #like next they're gonna tell me that B'Elanna Torres is a starfleet captain* - NO ! she is an ENGINEER! #Sorry I can't get over how bad Tuvok would be as a captain - he's not suited for it and does NOT seem interested #*so that we can all go 'oh yay I accept this as shorthand for the federation accepts her' - HEY #if the only thing you can think of to show that a character has achieved true happiness & respect & peace is becoming a 'respectable' rank #in the future pseudo not-military: maybe think about that more deeply
