I know Wayne Manor probably looks as normal as possible to avoid visitors suspecting the family's past time activities..

but also I highly doubt Bruce was able to avoid making some obscure changes to the Manor just based on the fact that his children are fucking feral.

Some of the windows are either boarded up, or have cages on them from the inside, and to an onlooker, they'll probably think "Oh those poor kids, being caged inside like animals, unable to get fresh air. I always knew that Wayne guy was sketchy. "

but it's literally just because his kids won't stop launching themselves head-first out of the windows whenever Bruce is mid lecture. doesn't matter if they're on the 4th floor.

sometimes visitors will get a closer look at the inside of the place and see a lot of things baby proofed, which is weird because "Aren't all of Wayne's kids old enough to not get themselves hurt like babies do?"

No, Sharon, do not underestimate the power of 6 hyperactive children combined in a room together, they will absolutely get themselves hurt in some way.

some furniture and objects are just straight up bolted to the floor, and everyone just assumes Bruce is a perfectionist or a micromanager, but Bruce literally had no other option since his fucking kids keep throwing shit at each other, and sometimes they just do it to get the other's attention or because they just felt like it. Sometimes they'll even throw each other

I just need some DC comics that acknowledge that the Manor has some additional features that were integrated after Bruce's countless experiences with each new weird ass child he gains.

#bruce: one time my 9yo son vaulted out of the third floor window because he didnt want fo brush his teeth. #bruce: another time my second son tried throwing my youngest into the opening of our grand piano from 10 metres away. #bruce: your kids like to chew on plastic toys my kids like throwing knives at each other we are not the same. #this man needs a break fr #jk this is how he trains his ultra sharp batman senses. by having kids that constantly keep him on his toes :) #batfam #batfamily #batman #bruce wayne #batdad #batkids #batbros #dc comics #crack #incorrect quotes #dick grayson #jason todd #tim drake #damian wayne #fanatical posting

tubbo and sunny don't remember their lives before the island, tubbo and sunny are somewhat isolated from the rest of the server, tubbo and sunny are thought of as selfish or careless by people who don't know them well. what's with all the parallels this isn't a math class

#jk jk i love parallels #but admins PLEASE be nice to sunny i will like genuinely sob if anything happens to her #MY DAUGHTER!!! MY SWEETHEART!!!! DON'T TOUCH A HAIR ON HER EGGY LITTLE HEAD #also i will never get used to talking about myself in third person but eh life of a chaisys fictive. it's easier for other ppl to understand #qsmp #tubbo #qsmp sunny #qsmp tubbo #qsmp sunnysideup

I’ve been avoiding the PJO tag cuz I haven’t finished TOA yet and I’m afraid of being spoiled but is there a chosen tag for talking about tv show spoilers so we can talk about the books and non-book readers can be unspoiled?

#percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #pjo #i keep seeing people on Twitter just fully spoiling the books #some even going out of their way to very unsubtly ‘tease’ spoilers for non book readers #and i don’t want to accidentally do that just by posting about the books like I normally would now that the show is here #(even if I find it weird that there are show watchers who haven’t read the books like come on lmao) #((jk I love you)) #i already might have been spoiled over events in toa elsewhere which is why I’m avoiding deeper exposure #i really need to finish because I so badly want to read the nico book #but the third one is dragging so hard #i dont really care for Meg and tbh I never really cared too much about Grover don’t hate me #and apollo is only interesting with the right companions #(like i love his interactions with his children and wish they’d come back)

Restorative or Transformative?: Homoerotic Subtext, The Closet, and Ciphers in Pop Culture. The nature of commercial art is that it’s sometimes bad and inconsistent. Notably it’s also misogynistic. One way in which audiences try to reconcile massive plot holes or gaps in character motivation is by reading secrets or hidden information into a plot.

Commonly, male characters are interpreted as closeted gay or bisexual to reconcile the absence of women from commercial narratives with the generally stunted and poorly-written male characters that form the focus on said texts. This reading has become especially common among a non-heterosexual milieu. Rather than transforming the original text into some radically different new form, this closeted interpretation seeks to make the original text stand on its own as a story rather than a Swiss cheese of dumb writing decisions.

This interpretation only works for a specific type of pop, usually genre fiction. Any story in which tortured male leads eschew women in favour of male-male bonds (because female characters are constantly killed off, written sparsely, or written out, because the production team keeps casting their male buddies, because actors demand to keep having scenes with their bros, whatever) can become a sounder structure if you put one of them in a closet.

The gay interpretation is the natural consequence of shoddy misogynistic writing from ventures like Supernatural, Naruto, all the biggest hits. It’s also the natural consequence of more benignly misogynistic writing like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes or The Lord of the Rings, where women aren’t necessarily rejected but are simply absent from the worlds of the protagonists. When the emotional crux of the story falls on male-male interactions, this reads as romantic because society at large priorities (definitively heterosexual) romance as the pinnacle of human connection. Two forces are in conflict, the primacy of heterosexuality (read as: romance) and the primacy of men.

Anyway. All that is to say that the typical gay or bisexual reading of male characters in pop fiction comes from a very real place. But, in some places, that’s the default interpretation. Angst, insecurity, secrets, double lives, fatigue, disappointment, restrained passion, stunted personal growth, anyone living in the closet can tell you that it impacts and defines your whole life to know that you live in a way fundamentally incompatible with The Proper Way that life is structured around down to tax law and superstore prices (which assume a heterosexual nuclear family unit). Characters in fiction also tend to have personal problems because that makes them interesting and tasty.

If you’ve grown up on stories with the specific type of misogyny that can be papered over with a closeted interpretation of the male leads, carrying this interpretation over to any male character will make sense more often than not. Even a bit of angst or insecurity? Well of course that makes sense if a character is closeted.

Except that’s hurt a normal part of fiction, and sometimes the closeted interpretation takes away from the point of a character. If a male character is on another axis of marginalization, the closeted interpretation imposed by the slash reading community downplays or trivializes the effects of that marginalization in the plot by overwriting it with another type of marginalization. Alternately, sometimes a character’s heterosexuality is a part of the story. There are some sorts of critiques or investigations of misogyny or masculinity that don’t work if the character has an ‘opt out’ of the cisheteropatriarchal perspective. Not that gay/bisexual men aren’t except from misogyny, but misogyny masculinity and heterosexuality are so tightly linked that it sort of defeats the point if you interpret that character outside of heterosexuality.

All that is to say—the closet interpretation is a quick and easy spice to apply to the weaker parts of action-adventure genre fiction to make it taste better. It draws from a large enough sample of art that it’s pretty widely applicable. Because of that, it’s part of some people’s [my] default interpretation package just because the semi-dull macho show at least gets less dull if you imagine there’s a reason for there to be no girls besides simple hatred. That then forms its own problem where the interpretation that works with your average genre work gets then blanket-applied to all genre works and obscures the places where the closet interpretation doesn’t fix the work, and actually makes it less interesting.

#kelsey rambles #I’m as guilty of it as anyone. #just thinking about Johnny Storm and like. bisexual ass character. deeply bi guy. but. #what IF he’s just heterosexual. what then. wouldn’t that almost be…more interesting #if he’s Like That and not closeted? what twisty gnarled psychological torments would a good comic have to explain him #and on the other hand. that one post I saw about how miles/hobie totally misses the point that their relationship is about solidarity #spider-punk and spider-byte’s alliance with miles are the same thing and to read it as romantic erases the important part #and on a third hand. when speaking of miles’ story. the stupid fucked Bendis running joke/subtext with Ganke #to have Miles be gay would possibly take away from the messy and interesting part of his character that is being a person with nothing #to hide. a totally honest genuine straightforward kid who is forced to start a double life by an outside actor #but at the same time it’s dumb and a cop-out to throw in that much bait and that much of a genuinely charged tense friendship #and then go ‘lol jk. nothing to see here’ #the other thing is the semi joke in atsv about ‘coming out’ as spider-man #the most important thing about Miles having to hide is his relatively precarious position as a black kid. he’s not afforded the leniency #that Peter Parker would expect if he got unmasked. Miles is more cautious because he is in more danger because he’s Black #so to paint that struggle with the gay brush is to disregard the character’s raison d’être. while also #using that sort of language and structure deliberately puts a gay lens over that character and ignoring that or kicking it to the side #feels a bit cheap. to borrow the look and not the substance #way too many tags and it’s past my bedtime. thesis statement is: #miles morales is a character whose history is fraught with plenty of real gay subtext and whose character struggles are entirely divorced #from any sense of gender performance. he’s subtextually bi but that’s got so little to do with his story that it feels almost wrong to read #that into him because there is so much other interesting stuff going on with him

great news! my mother has taken the time to inform me that mother's day is going to be awful this year not simply because my twin brother is dead, but furthermore because i don't love her enough to live closer to her and compensate for his absence.

#its more nuanced than that but #key takeaway points #i live halfway across the country for a REASON #please keep in mind she has a third child who lives with her #she said that she doesnt think my little sister will “even remember” mother's day #which i think is insanely unfair and also untrue #personal #vent #we just had a thirty minute conversation #about #NOTHING #i barely said five fucking words the whole time #like usual #because she doesnt give a fuck abt any of my shit #ughhhhhh #whatever #things i should talk to my therapist abt #jk me and wesley talk abt my mom like ALLL the time

i refuse to believe mxtx has not listened to at least one or both of the songs 'viva la vida' by coldplay, and 'pompeii' by bastille. i refuse

#this isn't even me like vaguely connecting lyrics to characters like i love to do (see 'third eye' and 'third eye (demo)' for hua cheng) #like istg i could make a full analysis post about how these two songs (especially the latter) #relate to xie lian and bai wuxiang respectively #i could do it right now #and NO this post was not brought about by my ardent desire to have an actually GOOD mash-up of those two songs #that combines elements of both while keeping a fair balance between both songs. #like come on PLEASE i *need* to listen to a mash-up where the person doing it confidently puts together the respective bridges #it CAN be done and if you do everything else at least semi-well and it sounds smooth then you WILL have created a masterpiece #i would do it myself but i have neither the means nor ability #anyway. didn't mean to ramble off on that tangent. #jk i totally did lmaoooo #this post is about tgcf btw. if you didn't pick up on that. lmao #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #xie lian #bai wuxiang #this post is so vague i feel bad tagging anyone else lmao #hob #heaven official's blessing
