[ID: An animatic of Stephanie Brown as Robin set to Tears over Beers by modern baseball. The images are paired with the lyrics. Stephanie as spoiler staring longingly at Bruce, Tim and Cass on a rooftop is paired with "he needed more than me". A compilation of sketches of Steph as robin go with "im friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty". Finally a redraw of Steph's firing as Robin is paired with "but he needed more than me". End ID]
been trying to finish a comic for. Weeks now (just been hitting a lot blocks) and quickly threw this together as a break from it! Do you guys ever think about Stephanie Brown…

I think it's so funny when Christian flat out reject the concept of being intersex like oh so me and about 2% of the population aren't real but you expect me to believe homeboy's gonna come back after (holy) ghosting us for over 2000 years?

The way grrm combined so many themes of queenship, motherhood, tragedy, reputation, controversy and ambition from so many historical queens in creating Rhaenyra is honestly iconic 💅

Literally Tina is so important to Blue Team. I’ve looked at other team povs and none of the other teams have someone supervising farming like she is.

Mance = Rhaegar has to be one of the funniest brain dead ASOIAF theories because like, GRRM obviously created Mance and placed him in Jon’s storyline as a father figure so he can be a parallel to Jon’s real dad, Rhaegar. Like it’s so so obvious that these two men are meant to be paralleled due to their association with the protagonist; even Mance’s child is used as a narrative tool meant to inform on Jon’s own birth. And you’d think that ASOIAF stans would recognize that and be like, “huh narrative mirrors that’s cool!” But nooooo we just had to say they’re actually the same person. So by ASOIAF fans’ definition are Jon Snow and Aemon Steelsong the same character? Did Jon actually beat Tyrion to become the time traveling fetus?

Emiya did NOT wear a DOG COLLAR in that ccc art for you all to act like he is not the world's most excellent service switch. Quetz is a goddess you think anyone's ever asked her to for head? Conversely Emiya consistently shows pure devotion and care to all his masters AND he remembers his past summonings so you KNOW he has experience. Vote Emiya for that gluck gluck mind twisting bad bitch pulling head TODAY.

"Feminism failed me because now I have to work a nine to five job and I'd rather be a stay at home wife."
Or maybe we've fostered toxic work cultures that have created a "grass is greener on the other side" situation, or maybe we push our children so fast and hard into a career path without slowing it down to ensure our kids know of all their options instead of diving headfirst into a path they might not care about and thus leading to resentment of their work, or maybe we're getting lazier and lazier generations who feel like they shouldn't have to put in a standard amount of work and being a stay at home wife sounds like a dodge of responsibility, an easier route . . . .
. . . and on top of that, maybe we've romanticized the 1950s and the "traditional household" that we've decided to ignore that the culture was forced in order to get women back into domestic labor after running America while the men were at war so that men could get their jobs back, and have forgotten the commonality of domestic abuse and how ads would brazenly joke about it while victims felt like they had to keep quiet in order to maintain the image of a happy family as well as the alarming rate at which women were taking "mommy's little helpers" to help them with their lifestyles, and we've disconnected the fact that the 50s was followed by the wildness of the 60s and 70s as well as feminist movement wave which maybe indicates that the 50s was not the happy little decade in which men and women were in their "correct gender roles" and trying to replicate that era could possibly be a big mistake . . . .
Maybe the issue we have with feminism gaining women the right to work wasn't that it got us the right to work, but rather that it played into the idea that men and their traits are the standard of being human, and in order for a woman to be successful she has to display those traits instead of taking traits of women and standing on those as women's strengths and arguing for how work can be better when women and men use their feminine and masculine traits together because we're both human, and masculine traits are not better than feminine ones, and vice versa.
Maybe the problem faced by those who actually want to work stay at home lives are not hindered by feminism, but rather a failing economy caused by a government for a multitude of reasons, and not because the government created feminism to get women working to tax them too.
Maybe the problem here isn't people going against gender roles, but rather a multitude of many other factors, and it's a lot simpler to fight and blame the other gender.
I have many criticisms of feminism, particularly modern feminism. But feminism in general won women many victories over the decades, and there are a lot of things we women can do now that our female ancestors would have died to have. History might not be as sexist as we remember it, but sometimes I think we forget how unkind it was to women. Wishing feminism didn't come about or make the advances it did might be a little ignorant of the problems it saw women face and sought to correct.
Maybe it's not our "biology" to follow traditional gender roles, and we must return to that.
Maybe there's something we keep hopping over that recognizes men and women as individual humans first, with different skills, strengths, ambitions, and goals.

So I’ve seen a couple people having ideas of rereleasing Dark Choco but as a Super Epic, and I’m wondering how that’d work, especially since we don’t really have a precedent for this specifically
The only thing close to it that we have currently is Croissant and Timekeeper, as well as presumably White Lily and Dark Enchantress, who are technically the same people, but through whatever means they became entirely different entities, which isn’t really what we’d be aiming for here, it’s just a rerelease of the same Cookie
I mean first off, would they do it? I feel like the requirements for this sort of situation is that you’d need a different design, but also a completely different Skill, or else you could just make it a Legendary costume (or maybe they’ll introduce Super Epic costumes which basically act like Legendary costumes but for Epics). Now, I think that Dark Choco can tick off the new Skill box, since his old Skill comes entirely from the Strawberry Jam Sword, which he no longer has, so I feel like making the skill different entirely isn’t too much of a stretch. I mean you could give him a different weapon, like a bow since we know he can use one
But then if they did rerelease him, what happens to the old Dark Choco in game? Would they just delete him? That wouldn’t really be fair to the players who put in the hard work getting him fully leveled up, promoting him to 5A, and getting all his costumes. Not to mention it’d make his old Special costume a bit of a waste. And I mean, if this new one has an entirely different Skill, why not keep the old one around?
But then there’d come the confusion of having two characters with the same name in the same game together, and it’d be really confusing for newer players who don’t know the whole story yet. So he’d probably have to change his name in this rerelease, right? But then why would he change his name in canon? Going back to Croissant/Timekeeper and White Lily/Dark Enchantress, those pairs look fundamentally different in each form, act completely different, and probably have different ingredients. For Dark Enchantress we know she was rebaked, and I’m not entirely sure for Timekeeper other than all the time rifts slowly changing them over time. So would Dark Choco have to change into a different Cookie somehow? Like he gets rebaked? I mean he can still have his memories and his personality (I mean like his changed one as he goes through his redemption arc), but he’s also a different Cookie? I’m not really sure how or why that’d work
And also also, if they were to make a new Dark Choco that’s a Super Epic while keeping the old one, what happens to the old one? Does he just become obsolete? I mean you can give him a Magic Candy, but what’s that gonna matter when you have the new Super Epic one that’s probably in the meta? And also what would they do for new Costumes, would they have to both get one or would only one get one, leaving the other in the dust? Again I see this being less of a problem if they’re now two different characters, even if they aren’t as fundamentally different as the other two pairs, but there’s still that question of how to justify that
I’m not trying to bash the idea of rereleasing Dark Choco as a Super Epic, I think it’d be cool, I’m just overthinking the whole thing. I’m curious what Devsis is going to do with him in game as right now, he’s like the only character who’s playable self is fundamentally outdated in terms of where they are in canon (as well as being outdated in the meta, but that’s its own separate issue that can be solved by buffs and Magic Candies), and I wonder if they’re planning on fixing that going forward

People who care about power scaling in hunter x hunter are so funny. “Ohh who would win in a fight Gon or Killua” if Gon and Killua ever versed each other it would be like that one episode of Spongebob where Spongebob and Patrick are in a wrestling match but their pants fall down to reveal they’re wearing matching underwear and they start crying and hug and refuse to fight. It would be just like that

tams azula is sooo fascinating bc while canon azula doesn't really show her age at all like she's completely desensitised to so much shit 'she is fourteen' is not a justification for ANYTHING both in her own mind and in other people's, in tams she has zuko. and yes the world has been abundantly cruel to her but zuko hasn't. he's basically raised azula and he's done so in a way that she's allowed to show her age, but she still only shows her age in very azula-esque ways. there's no reluctance to see violence like you'd expect from a fourteen-year-old, and like ive said before, that means zuko can't play on that reluctance in order to shield her, but he still wants to shield her from that violence because regardless of what SHE feels about it, as the eldest he knows fundamentally that she shouldn't be seeing certain things no matter how well she can handle them. and seeing zuko effectively PLAY azula in order to protect her is so interesting and complicated and fun
#and also a little heartbreaking bc it's the 'you protect azula but who protects you?'#like in order to shield azula from these things zuko is metaphorically standing in front of her and seeing them himself#as if he's not only sixteen and a child too#but yeah taking azula's canon traits and manipulating into the tamsverse is soooo fun#like the example that inspired this post is how canon azula is logical NOT cruel#like time and time again she follows only the logical route and even actively avoids the cruel route#e.g calling off torture in the boiling rock bc she knew that he was telling the truth and therefore continuing to torture him was illogical#im not saying azula is averse to/incapable of cruelty i just hc that she genuinely just thinks it's stupid#just like any other unnecessary act would be considered stupid. if it's not logical or being used for a greater plan then what's the point?#and tams azula STILL HOLDS THIS TRAIT except because i lean more into her age in tams bc she's been given the freedom with zuko#to liberally be a CHILD without any consequences as a result of that simple thing#her intense logic actually becomes a certain naivety on azula#like she cannot comprehend other people NOT coming to the conclusions she comes to#and that expands to needless cruelty. like she wont factor a person's cruelty into her calculations#because in her head all she needs to dismiss that calculation is 'excessive cruelty here would waste time which is illogical'#she assumes everyone is as smart and to-the-point as she is so when they ARENT and will actively waste time just to do dumb shit#it catches her off guard and she DOESNT PLAN FOR IT so it can really fuck them over sometimes#so this is one instance where zuko has azula beat despite it being STRATEGY aka azula's strong point#bc zuko's immense cynicism and assumption that Everyone Is Awful doesn't hold up against logic 9 times out of 10#but the one time it does is the time azula gets caught out#i just think tams zuko and azula's dynamic is so fucking interesting im so clever for that tbh#twice as many stars
