3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

All three asks I got for this ask meme wanted to know this one lmao. Sadly I have a bad memory so I had to scroll through the takes I've screenshotted and sent to my friends to make fun of, and while I'd like to stress that this is from Forever ago, and that I do not remember who posted it or what the context was: one screenshot stated that after Barbara, Cass's healthiest relationship was with her father. Now, I don't know how exactly you'd have to manipulate to bracket to have David Cain be in the running for 'healthiest relationship with Cassandra Cain', but he'd still lose. Literally the entire batfam, including Bruce and Jason fucking Todd, has a healthier relationship with Cass than David Cain. Lady Shiva has a healthier relationship with Cass. I don't know if this is The Worst Take Ever but it's certainly up there.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

I mean there are a Lot but everyone's heard the complaints about fanon fans' opinions by now so let's do a spicier one. I think it's weird that everyone (on the Deathstroke Hater side of the fandom) unanimously classifies Deathstroke as an abusive/bad dad to Joey and Grant prior to the throat cutting incident.

I'm sure there's canon that contradicts it (I've never read a Deathstroke solo ever because I think it'd be miserable) but in NTT he is literally textually a good dad prior to All That. And I recognize that this is because he's Wolfman's specialest little boy more than anything but I still think it's significantly more interesting for literally the entire Wilson family but especially Joey if Deathstroke was like, legitimately a pretty good dad right up until he weighed his son's life against his ego and found his son's life wanting. The whiplash between 'absent and doesn't quite get Joey but genuinely loving and trying' and 'lets his son's throat get cut for no good reason and then immediately tries to bail without visiting him in the hospital with the full expectancy that his wife will just take this' is really compelling to me. And there seems to be this universal acceptance that Deathstroke was a bad/abusive dad prior to All That and I just don't understand why people state that so confidently when at least one version of canon outright contradicts it.

That said anyone who considers Deathstroke a good or even mediocre dad is even more wrong because he did, in fact, do All That and also we haven't even talked about Rose Wilson so. L. So yeah everyone is wrong about Deathstroke's parenting capabilities except me.
