“When toxic behavior is portrayed as romantic, it’s problematic. When problematic behavior is portrayed as a character flaw for a character to work through, it’s good storytelling.”

Katsuki Bakugou, my friends.

His behavior was problematic but never once portrayed as romantic at the same time. Katsuki said and did awful abusive things, and he also chose to be better when he was given the chance. If you’re still hung up on chapter 1 Katsuki now then I don’t think you’ve been reading the same story I have.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m not shipping Izuku with an irredeemable abuser. I’m shipping him with his most important person. His narrative foil. His childhood friend who made awful mistakes and then made it right when he saw he was wrong. The person Izuku looks up to and strives to emulate, despite their past struggles.

Bakudeku is so good because of how flawed these boys are, and how hard they’ve worked to get over it, and how much they matter to each other after it all

#perfect stories about perfect people who never do anything wrong are usually boring #stories about growth and mistakes and redemption and forgiveness and progress are lit #bkdk #bakudeku #the quote is from cinema therapy on YouTube btw #love them so much #they look at media and talk about what is and isn’t good from a real life human perspective #and boy did this quote slap me in the face #anyway this is my thought literally any time anyone says something about shipping Izuku with his abuser #if he was still being abused then I get it #but he’s not #and saying he needs protection from Katsuki is honestly doing his character dirty #and this is not to say that every situation with an abuser and a victim should turn out romantic #obviously not #the world is not black and white and neither are people #sometimes you have to get yourself out and never look back and that is valid and healthy #but sometimes you’re talking about two boys in a manga who literally cannot stop thinking about how good and incredible the other is #bro I get it #surface level chapter/episode 1 Katsuki is literally the worst #but his glow up has been literally meteoric

Jason Todd, eepiest boy in the dcu

Why’d they add a wig/hair to the robin mannequin …..

Batman: The Adventures Continue (2020)

#Bruce we get it you miss Dick but isn’t this a bit overkill #jason todd #red hood #batman: the adventures continue #btac #dc #anyway #if you’ve seen my previous posts about this comic you’d probably know what ‘backstory’ I’m talking about #but even when they did Jason Todd dirty to favor Tim I’d say Jason got a compelling enough new backstory with a lot of potential #so if the writers felt the need to copy bit for bit from Jason maybe even they deemed there was nothing interesting enough to pull from Tim #and his backstory. but I think what should annoy you more is #their idea that anything new they could’ve come up with for Tim still wouldn’t top ripping off of Jason lol #also. WHO has ‘monopoly on batfamily joker trauma’? #cause last I recall Jason doesn’t even have monopoly over his own life and death #the way they make everything about it about Bruce’s suffering instead #and the fact that Jason can’t fucking have his way with the joker because that’s not how BRUCE thinks it should be done?? #not to mention when Dick beat the clown to death because he thought Tim was killed (and that was his last straw after Jason) #guess who resuscitated him! starts with a ‘Bru’ and rhymes with caboose #the ONLY person with a monopoly on batfamily joker trauma is Bruce actually lmfao

tw: for israel/palestine stuff and war crimes.

fucking left wing brainrot on here has people unironically saying shit like "its not palestine's fault, theyre just trying to reclaim their homeland" after watching a video of armed men parading a dead woman around in her underwear on the back of a truck with their boots on her back. spitting on her head while cheering. the fuck is wrong with you guys. what piece of land is worth raping women and deliberately hunting and gunning down civilians over.

edit: this post is NOT pro israel. it's just anti-war crimes. im leaving for work but if i come back and there's any discourse in the notes about supporting israeli occupation or saying racist shit about palestinians as a whole, this post is getting nuked.

#faq: yes i understand that israel commits atrocities as well #reading leftist discourse about this topic makes me want to throw up. what is wrong with you guys #how exactly does raping women accomplish ANY of palestine's goals #source:me #negative #rant #if that makes me a dirty centrist then so be it #i think you can generally support palestine and still condemn this attack. like i dont think those two thoughts are incompatible. #2023 #politics #israel #palestine #ill get ready to get brigaded i guess. my punishment for wading into this mess of a discourse.

Jason, looking at Roy: aren't we all at least a bit homo

Interviewer: ah yes because we are all homo sapiens, I get what you did there

Jason, confused: no I meant when I look at dudes I have gay thoughts

#jason: I have gay thoughts #the gay thoughts: *hold his hand* *snuggle* *run your hand through his hair* *put your arm around him* *hug* *kiss his cheek* #jason: *is an absolute blushing mess* #interviewer: oh god they must be really dirty #Ok look I feel like jason is the type to be a blushing mess when thinking about doing little intimate things with people #Roy would think its hilarious so he would be all flirty in a domestic way like Im going to intertwine our fingers and lay my head on you #until their hands are intertwined and jason kisses their hands and roy becomes a blushing mess cause jason has never instigated it before #like I just want their intimacy to be friends messing with each other but then they both realize they actually like the intimacy so #it just becomes a thing they do and other people around them are confused cause these emotionally constipated buff dudes are able to #unironically be this intimate. the batfamily meets angry jason who was resurrected and then they meet Jason With Roy™ they are blindsighted #cause murderous jason was laying his head on Roy's lap as Roy ran his fingers through Jason's hair (no one else should even attempt this) #as they were talking in front of everyone and using pet names as calling each other partner and everyone is like 'what???' #dick is most suprised though cause he is friends with roy so its a classic case of 'when did my brother and my friend become so intimate??' #he calls the entire rest of the og teen titans over just to make sure his eyes arent deceiving him #like 'no fr donna wally garth you guys gotta get over here and see this' and that was how they started an inpromptu teen titan reunion #jayroy #jason todd #roy harper #incorrect outlaws quotes #rhato #red hood and arsenal

WTFFF I thought thirteen would be my new girl crush love of my life heart eyes wife you-came-after-twelve-you-must-be-better-than-they're-all-saying bbygirl and then I had to sit down and watch as she told a man who (if he were not a murderer, of course) literally every regeneration before her would've LOVED and FULLY SUPPORTED that "the systems aren't the problem. how people use and exploit the system, that's the problem. people like you" </33333 !?!?

#hollow knight #doodles #hk hornet #hk ghost #hk herrah #god i’ve been having her thoughts lately #do you ever think about how much she must regret? how long she must’ve been internally thinking - about how she had to fix this? #that she didn’t spend nearly as much as she wished she could’ve with herrah. not knowing she would’ve lost her so quickly. how could she- #-as a child could’ve known? now she can’t #how much does she resent her father? for her circumstances? for the flawed plan that left her with a dead kingdom that a sense of duty and- #-loyalty compels her to protect. do you ever think that she wishes she could go back in time? to change things? #how touch starved is she? how much does she wish to be vulnerable. to have a family that she can let her guard down around. how much she- #-repels it. because vulnerability gets you hurt #getting hurt gets in the way of your duties. how many times was she alone. injured. with only her thoughts as company #i care her so much #the fandom does her dirty. you know what i’m talking about. she’s so much more interesting than just being ‘the main female character’ #she deserves that absolute world. and yet all she got was pain and trauma….

My batfam gender sexuality hcs 🥰🥰🥰🥰:

Bruce: cishet he/him

Dick: cishet he/him

Jason: cishet he/him

Tim: cishet he/him

Steph: butch lesbian to ME! She/her but she’s trying out she/they and doesn’t know how to feel. Might fuck with neos but she’s not ready to take that step yet.

Cass: think early on in accepting that she’s a human being she’d psychoanalyze the fuck outta herself to see where she fits in and be super super super pressed about the entire thing to a detrimental point but as she progresses she’ll be fine. Lesbian, and she’s pretty sure she’s a girl most of the time sure 😄.

Duke: I think he knew he was not straight since he was young (moonlight opened his eyes and broke his heart) but he never really questioned his sexuality at all. The problem is that he doesn’t question it because the idea of gender roles (girls do this. Boys do that.) is so engrained in his mind that it’s not even something he thinks can be changed, if that makes sense? Anyways I don’t think he’s the type to get dysphoria he moreso experiences euphoria when exploring his gender identity. I think he would realize he has different views on his own gender when he sees other people expressing their own differently. Like genuinely he goes to school and sees another boy wearing lipstick and his brain blows up. As of this very moment he’s “exploring” but he’s actually a lil scared to genuinely confront himself about this and uses “there’s bigger problems in the world” to get out of it. End goal is non-binary but for now he’s at the veeeeeeery tail end of questioning.

Damian: I think at the moment Damian’s just not thinking about any of that but it’s in the opposite of duke; he knows he’s probably some kind of queer, both in sexuality and gender, but it’s just. Not top priority for him at the moment. I wanna bring up clothes rq bc, extra hc time, in MY mind Damian does express himself a lot through his clothing and getting to the manor made him a bit shy when it came to skirts and dresses. Seeing the way boys, and especially black and brown boys, who explore their femininity are treated, he just doesn’t mention it at all and the scenario never comes up. He gets more comfortable as time goes on though and later on gets bold enough to wear a dress to an event. He’s stonefaced but slightly regretting it till some younger kid sees him and is awe stricken, like stars in his eyes and asking if he can do that too. Damian feels better about it and resolves to wear whatever he wants more often. I don’t think he ever comes out in big big way (he’d tell the people closest to him but everyone else can just figure it out) but he genuinely doesn’t feel the need to label himself at all.

#the way y’all do Duke and Damián in these hc posts…. #Steph I wanted more for you truly but sorry ur unfortunately white #u get more than the boys but today ain’t about you 💔 #I WILL say buzzcut steph true #and she’s black in MY mind so in MY mind stud steph true #Cass I have a lot of thoughts about #like for me early on in her lil suicidal era I think she’d find the whole labelling thing complicated and stupid #but surface level deep inside she likes that idea of community but she doesn’t think she deserves it and it burns her #post trying to kill herself with Bruce’s full support #she throws herself into the idea of this community but she kinda like. wants a good grade in being queer as opposed to truly exploring- #-herself. comes to head when she just breaks like crying screaming throwing up and Steph is like ‘why do you even wanna do ts anyways’ #and cass doesn’t have an answer #she starts looking inwards and kinda. sets it up as a yes/no question tree for herself and lands with knowing she’s a lesbian but nothing #really concrete about her gender and she’s actually ok with that #imo she ends up with mirror pronouns #as in whatever you call yourself you can call her #I want it to be that earlier she was suffocating herself for others approval but now she’s allowing for vulnerability in a way that serves #her and her alone. this is in the tags and not the post bc y’all are actually pretty ok when it comes to cass in them hcs. #and I wanted the main focus to be on the black and brown boys since y’all always do them dirty 🙃 #and just to be mean #Bruce wayne #tim Drake #dick Grayson #Jason Todd #Duke Thomas #damian wayne #cassandra cain #Stephanie brown #btw bringing back my Joey soft adopting damian agenda: damian absolutely made sure Damian knew he could do whatever he wants. Damian’s not- #-used to feeling hesitant about this kinda thing but he’s double embarrassed and joey says he’ll wear the damn thing with him. he does

one of these days i'm going to write up all that i've changed from azzarello's bullshit era and the one (1) piece i've kept from milligan (and also changed) and the only thing currently stopping me is that it is going to be so, so inside-baseball incomprehensible. and i almost never want to go reading/screencapping azzarello and milligan to add references but i Want to add references.

canon is goop, just know that we continue to ride the bus down "hellblazer ended at #250 and looks like swiss cheese before that" street.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #i'm doing page maintenance before i fuck off to work rip it's got me thinking #anyway i think i said WAY back on this blog that a side goal of mine is to make hellblazer lore accessible to non-comic readers where i can #bc it's such a Heavy comic & i love it so much & i always felt Terrible recommending it to people only for them to be disgusted #and like. @ past me that particular goal is NOT as easy as you thought it would be lmao #esp because i have a habit of getting VERY detail-oriented when it comes to talking about hellblazer i think #but by GOD it's still a goal. i can put in some motherfucking references here and there when i talk about The Lore #like. azzarello's writing style never translates well for me in synopsis bc he Loves to put the audience in the outside perspective #where we are bystanders/with the rest of the bystanders to constantine's actions and not to his motivations/inner monologue #and i HATE that. hellblazer has ALWAYS been about what this guy has going on underneath the masked exterior #all the things you can't say out loud when you're queer and working class trying to survive in 70s-80s-90s england #but that you FEEL with your WHOLE fucking chest. how that feeling drives you to enjoy little rebellions wherever you can get them #(also azzarello just fucking Sucks LMAO but i'm talking style rn) #so i end up relying on frusin's art to tell the story a little more bc i think he understands the Theatre of constantine's public persona #and when that theatre is Absent then it's really REALLY noticeable. so frusin keeps me in it most of the time #and if i'm digging into frusin art then i'm Going to want to compare it to older panels bc i like body language consistency #milligan on the other hand has NOTHING to save his sorry ass bc his writing is drop-jaw fucking terrible AND the artist seems to like it #but the loss of john's thumb being tied to his mental health (ignoring the bullshit with shade) has always felt. important to me somehow id #anyway MUCH thinking about my favorite loser on this about-to-be-annoying day shdjksd he has been done so dirty #hellblazer brain go brrrr

did you watch the Shattered/Asylum Talkville episodes? 👀

Yes I did! I'm really sorry, I've been meaning to send you all my notes/highlights from the Shattered pod ep like I promised I would, but my last semester of grad school started like 2.5 weeks ago and I've just been massively overwhelmed since then. 😭

Tbh, you could probably watch the full Shattered pod if you wanted, it was a pretty good ep for Talkville standards. The biggest highlight was probably Michael saying that the moment where Lex sees Clark use his powers for the first time is his favorite Lex moment in the series (especially in terms of his own performance)—he's clearly really proud of this episode and I think that made the pod better in general. Also Lionel gets called an evil bastard a couple of times, Tom points out how we all feel bad for Lex by the end of the episode, and Al Gough calls the Clex relationship "the focal point of the series." Other stuff happens too ofc, but I'd say those were my top moments.

The Asylum pod was... less good, IMO—like, it wasn't bad I guess, but some stuff def left me feeling kinda frustrated, so I wouldn't really recommend that you watch that one askldfsk (I could probably skim through it again and collect some highlights from it if you want, though)

#this is like a quick and dirty summary of my 'shattered' notes but hopefully it's better than nothing?? #(also I hope it's okay posting this ask publicly but I know that at least one other person was interested in these pod highlights) #anyway the only thing in the 'shattered' pod that made me a bit frustrated was that none of the guys really seemed to 'get' the scene #where lex sings to the blanket while thinking that it's julian #like rather than being emotionally impacted by it they mostly just thought it was odd and unsettling #which makes me wonder if the rest of us are influenced by the retroactive context provided by 'memoria' when we rewatch 3x08 #because once you know the full backstory that 3x08 scene is soooo haunting and devastating #but maybe without that context it just feels kinda jarring and out of place?? idk #oh and I wish the guys would've talked way more about clark and lex's dynamic in both of these eps #they spent more time dissecting the lex and lionel stuff which like... valid I guess #but these are some of THEE clex eps and yet you wouldn't really know it from listening to the pods. sigh. #asks #lexkent #should I tag this?? ehhh I guess... #smallville #talkville

[winepresswrath]

is your url a reference to revelation 14:19?? sorry this is so random i was reading the bible for a class and suddenly something clicked

In a roundabout way, but also it's so much sillier than that. It's a grapes of wrath reference, because in the depths of my early CQL obsession I was idly poking around on tumblr and concluded that I should make an account, so as to spare my friends and family. I didn't think very hard about what my name should be- I just went oh, angry grape, the grapes of wrath, winepress of wrath, fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword dada dada dada haha purple. Naturally since all roads lead back to Wei Wuxian this bit

The baby has a cold. Here, take this blanket. It's wool. It was my mother's blanket—take it for the baby. This is the thing to bomb. This is the beginning—from "I" to "we."

popped into my head and made me think about Wei Wuxian and the people he makes his families with & particularly about a-yuan, for values of my mother's blanket that amount to "my necromancy" and "my sister's soup" and eventually "my life!" I know! I promise I know. Even at the time I was aware it was a deeply silly and thematically inconsistent through-line. I picked the first things I could think of because I needed a place to vomit out my thoughts and feelings and was rapidly approaching the end of my bff's patience for the topic and years later here i am.

#me in late 2019 looking at a random object: is this about wei wuxian??? #it's not that it was impossible to have a conversation with me that was not about cql. however the possibility that i was thinking about it #lurked in the hearts of my nearest and dearest and not without cause #anyway i apologize to steinbeck but not to mxtx or the cql team because they made me like this #i don't even like steinbeck!!! i am broadly allergic to early 20th cent american literature with maybe two exceptions #however. however i can still acknowledge that i did him dirty there. #sorry to him!!! also ok sorry to mxtx and the cql team even if they did poison my brain #i could have looked at an onion thought of radishes and done great violence against dostoevsky #i do still wish we'd gone with grape of wrath for the bad steinbeck allusions tho #kill the man that's starving you!!!

Ok so I do really like when people draw Bubba Sawyer blushing through his mask. It's very cute. And it's an obvious way of showing it.

But also... I really like the actual thought of him blushing... where you can't see anything through the mask obviously, and he's hot af under it and it's so uncomfortable for him bc it's just like an oven in Texas as it is, which would only make that worse, so if you could see in through the holes at all, he's oh so red and flustered. Like some of the few indications of him blushing is if you can somehow see when he moves his head at the right angle, or if he pulls at the mask slightly to make it less hot, or when he kind of makes a noise and you can just tell by his mouth - either bc of him somewhat smiling a little or how he kind of nervously licks his teeth and lips - he's really happy or giddy.

Okay but also also, Bubba is super readable through his body language anyway - he doesn't simply stand there, emotionless, usually. Leatherface can be very animated and you can tell what he's kinda thinking pretty easily I feel like?? Or at least you can get a general idea of what might be there. Sure, he can stare blankly, but that's when he's head empty and he has to focus on the job at hand or he is kind of just going through the motions. When he has a single thought in his head though, he does try to express it. It's strained and difficult for him to talk any kind of normally, being basically non-verbal, so he resorts to big displays of emotion though every action. Hell, he screeches all the time at heightened emotion.

(rq I remember the very first time I watched the first movie and how I was actually taken back and was like aw omg what it's like he has anxiety about these people he just killed being in his house and it like stresses him out?? He's almost worried someone else is going to show up, and he's waiting for his family to get home because he's all alone and doesn't like that these people came in and surprised him, so when he just sits down and puts his head in his hands I actually felt like I could understand his thoughts a little. Especially so, after we meet his family and see how they treat him. And don't get me started on the second movie with how you can see his visible confusion with how he just kind of nods and shakes his head and shrugs a lot. And the moments when he is joyful and concerned and conflicted and curious - they each have a reaction and distinct movement. They definitely made him act things out more in the 2nd one, but it felt like the same character.)

Anyway, I mean, if he isn't babbling incoherently, squealing loudly, or making any other sounds, he's twiddling his fingers together or touching his hands to his mask, or holding his arms to himself. He also paces and fidgets and rocks in place. Like any of those things would be a huge tip off if something was making him blush. I just really like all those small details too, in actuality.

..... I know you can't draw this stuff as easily, but I like to think about it, y'know, just... practically.

#ok so I like to think about Bubba Sawyer... i dont know why...... i just like him..... #my husband says my favorite character has to be Chop Top bc i talk about him all the goddamn time but Bubba and Chop are kinda tied for me #I like them in very different ways bc of what they are #Chop Top is an insane goofy feral dirty manic killer hippie and Bubba is a simple ND anxious big strong unkempt brutal country boy #Nubbins is in 2nd place and Drayton's 3rd for favs #(I can talk a lot about the cook and hitchhiker if you let me tho...) #anyway. dont mind me... just overthinking about Leatherface again. i dont always talk a lot about him actually but i have a lot of thoughts #if this blows up for any reason im gonna be embarrassed as fuck hope u guys know that #tcm #Leatherface #Bubba Sawyer #Texas Chainsaw Massacre #The Texas Chainsaw Massacre #horror #movies
