#we shouldn't *have* an ideal

Danny moved to Gotham.
Freakshow is touring in Gotham.
Freakshow knows Danny is in Gotham.
Danny knows Freakshow is still after him.
Danny's faith in heroes has been shattered.
Danny turns to the only person powerful enough to run Freakshow out of town, hopefully for good.
Danny turns to the Joker for help.
The Joker is looking for a new punching bag sidekick after Harley Quinn left him.
Danny is just the perfect person to be shaped by the Joker's hands.
Danny becomes the new Joker Junior.
#pondhead blurbs#dpxdc#how we feeling about this fellas#i think it's an ideal angst fic#but i don't wanna write it lol#the younger danny is the worse it gets#someone said that danny shouldn't be afraid of the joker because he's a clown and freakshow is a ringmaster. not a clown#if i find that post i'll tag the creator cause i can't remember rn#but i'm imagining danny who is heavily traumatized and scared and lonely#finding out that one of his worst enemies he hoped to never see again is hunting him and is so close danny has to check his eyes every day#just to make sure they haven't turned red#his anxiety is out of control and he's not about to go find a Bat or Bird to talk to#who would believe him anyways? he's a monster#but danny needs help cause he will not survive this on his own and he knows it#freakshow haunts his every waking dream#but freakshow isn't from gotham. he doesn't have the city's curses engraved into his blood. he never died and he's not truly teasing death#so danny chooses to plead for help from the only predator bigger than freakshow (in his eyes) who IS from gotham#danny goes to the Joker. prepared to offer everything but his free will and free mind. he can't give those up. it's all he has.#danny is a feral house cat asking a tiger to take care of a mountain lion for him by offering the tiger his own liver on a silver platter#joker is...delighted? maybe? no one is quite sure. but he takes what danny offers.#here is this little boy. almost the same age as the second robin when he died. pleading for the JOKER to be his savior. this will be fun

im just saying things this morning but i really do love an insane queerbait over canon-right-out-the-gate “representation” characters with labels slapped on them and playing into the most outrageous stereotypes on purpose with the blandest storylines and boring perfect non-problematique lukewarm love interests. like WHERE is the tension WHERE is the 12 yr slow burn WHERE is the complex layering of Issues and Disorders resulting in the most nuanced bisexual man on television precisely because they never intended him to be queer in the first place but accidentally turned the dial up on their sexist funnyguy ladies man too far that it looped over into overcompensation and their 2005 lol gay jokes kept going on beyond funny and the actorman playing him made Choices like looking flustered, uncomfortable at being called out for being too butch and looking aroused and interested in every man place in front of him but especially thee gay angel to the point where said actor somehow made his EYES DILATE and then they told us WE were insane for seeing all of that and oh they started writing it as a romance anyway but were thwarted by the network and others over and over and well anyways, it’s just so delicious and fun but maybe that’s just bc i love theories and puzzles and figuring stuff out and putting things together and connecting dots and also my headcanons and opinions are more important than anything canon could say so idc if i get queerbaited for 50 yrs i’m on another level of existence, living gloriously in the subtext and knowing the Truth. anyways there will never be another ship like destiel

i love that hieronymous said exactly two lines in that entire episode and one of them was stating the obvious and the other was a totally innocent-sounding statement that also managed to be a lie. he's the perfect character <3

that post about lmm is real true but also like that's somewhat the case for pretty much any creative person. if the animators of those same disney movies had the freedom to work on their own projects we'd probably have a lot more weird and cringe and awesome animation projects. if eminem hadn't gotten popular maybe he would have made a lot more cool scrappy underground tapes. now if only there was some kind of social theory behind why corporate success and artistic value seem so opposed and exclusive to each other.......

scared to keep this 500-word blurb about the civil rights movement in my review of "some like it lukewarm" because it doesn't ascribe to Internet Morality (i.e. I say that having Charlie Smalls on the show is actually a big deal for the legitimizing of black artists in the eyes of the show's largely-white audience). I know the jackals are going to gut me for "congratulating the white production team". I know they're going to be mad I'm promoting small, step-by-step practical change instead of adhering to the impossible standards of wokeness.

graphic novel V: good and evil are meaningless labels in the real world because anyone can act good, but no person thinks themselves evil.
movie V: nuh-uh look at how easy it is. this side is good, this side is evil. look at how 2dimensional and evil they are. the good side are all a bunch of people with loving families who were manipulated into voting in fascist governments, while the evil people have no families and hate everyone openly and are constantly trying to rape and murder people for fun. also watch this (quotes all of count of monte cristo from memory)
graphic novel Evey:
graphic novel Evey: what does that have to do with any--
graphic novel V: no no no. he's got a point.
#v for vendetta#im still on about this because v for vendetta is one of my most favorite things ever#movie and graphic novel#and i love picking apart their differences#movie V and graphic novel V would get along SO WELL whereas i'm pretty sure graphic novel evey would just be like /GOD./#she was much more 8D in the graphic novel and then THE HORRORS. OH GOD THE HORRORS. and she changed.#but reading it you're not really like oh man this is poggers you're definitely going oh. V is. kind of horrible isnt he.#YES. YES HE IS.#alan moore didn't accuse the movie of defanging his political commentary because of the romanticism#it was because they fixated on over simplifications of good and evil which completely ripped apart the nuance he was going for#to say that Evil is only doing Bad Things meanwhile you've got a man who murders and tortures people to push his ideal of justice#and you're framing that man as Good and Not Evil is incredibly shallow#when we should be feeling that discomfort. it shouldn't be so EASY for us to choose things just because.#alan moore is an anarchist whose entire graphic novel was meant to be a nuanced discussion of anarchy in a fascist dictator led nation#alan moore wasn't saying that anarchists are bad when he did this. he wanted people to THINK.#he wanted them to discuss their thoughts and feelings while reading an anti-hero vigilante character who took everything into his own hands#and used any means necessary to bring forth his vision of true chaos and anarchy.#movie V talks about justice and peoples' freedoms. graphic novel V talks about destroying government so people can do whatever they want#and it is absolutely OKAY to have discomfort about that. that's the POINT#DO the ends justify the means?#what if those means include the harm of regular people?#what are we comfortable justifying???#that is one of the things that the graphic novel does VERY WELL.#whereas the movie removes ALL of that turmoil by just going YEP THE GOVERNMENT IS PURE EVIL AND DESERVES IT SO NO WORRIES THERE#which. hilariously is exactly what the character of V would probably say anyway so HJSDFHKSJDF#my joke is that the movie is what graphic novel V would have written if he were the screenwriter#SORRY FOR ALL THESE TAGS

Andor was amazing but I liked the Mandalorian S3 premiere too. I experience childlike wonder on a space adventure..! Giant creatures visible in hyperspace, a little fairy workshop for droid-builders, space pirates. Andor's tension and thoughtfulness has its place and so does a popcorn space western.
Maybe I need a series re-watch, but I don't see the inconsistent characterization that other people mention. Greef Karga is really into gentrification now? Sure, he seemed to like getting powerful and looking out for Nevarro in past seasons. Mando isn't okay with pirates now? He always seemed to find himself on the side of children and peaceful civilians, though, so it looks consistent enough. True, they had the pirates insist on drinking at a school in a cartoonishly indefensible way of throwing their weight around (marvel villain style) but... Seems like this show has always distinguished between "good gunslingers" and "bad gunslingers". It's not politically revolutionary, it's painfully status-quo-marketable, but... Some parts of Star Wars are just that. Goofy, marketable fun. Andor and Rogue One seem more like standout exceptions than a Star Wars Rule.
I'm not even alarmed that Jon Favreau or whoever "doesn't have an ending planned". I miss shows being slightly more relaxed and episodic. Din Djarin doesn't know anything about the main plot of Star Wars and I hope he keeps having adventures that way. Background Man™. Maybe it'll end well, maybe it won't. Some of my favorite shows didn't get to plan their endings, and they still had great episodes along the way.
For now, I'm enjoying Bo Katan in the world's worst depression nest and other delights of the galaxy. Even for people unfamiliar with Rebels, seeing purgills in hyperspace could just be a "huh, cool" moment. Putting cynicism aside, I expected a go-nowhere visit with aliens in the exact style of previous Mandalorian seasons and that's what I got.

the beloved mutuals will love to know that after a good sleep I’m normal again
#just thinking thoughts...#I'm soooo silly. it's so silly. we both want to be friends so bad.#it's soooo obvious.#two guys who want to be friends so bad and lurk so hard on each others' social medias#I'm curiously watching his personal discord and he's curiously watching my twitch stream#we never breathe a word about the lurking though. until we casually bring it up in person. and it's like oh you were watching?#on god?#lol.#hold hands and sing kumbaya already. lol.#he mentioned briefly that he felt (what I believe the chinese meant) social anxiety sometimes and like. this behavior tracks lol.#is it a coincidence that the only instagram post of mine he liked was the one captioned with#'what do you mean rotating you inside my mind like a rotisserie chicken doesn't count as a real friendship'#anyways. I'm going to give messaging him my all. it helps a lot that he lives on discord and not just line#lol this other guy lives on line though and I'm messaging him in english because he wanted a challenge. I'm having fun with him#he has a kind heart. his world is just a little small.#so he'll say things like 'no I'm normal!' when confronted with the mere possibility of being gay etc.#but he'll backpedal on it. 'no wait I shouldn't phrase it like that!!'#and such. and he thoughtlessly stereotypes people and things like that. but he's very willing to admit he's done things wrong#I like these two guys. I think I'll bring them to an art gallery or something sometime. I think it strikes a good balance.#I think me and the motorcycle guy are mentally in a similar headspace in terms of values and ideals#me and the other guy have the same energy and vibe#and they also don't have to spend the entire time accommodating for my linguistic limitations because they can also talk to each other#it works out in my head. I hope it's not too awkward.

Honestly i can't wait till Schizophrenia + Psychosis awareness day on the 24th of May cos I'm gonna absolutely bombard Instagram with much-needed* schizospec facts (i have compiled a write-up and list of lesser-known symptoms - ones i experience often - i meant to post on International women's day in honour of schizospec women) while not specifying i have any diagnosis and it's gonna be great
bc I feel all the normies who need to hear it the most reside on Meta apps + TikTok (mainstream socials don't hear/talk about these serious unnecessarily taboo issues nearly as much and it's a total outrage) and sometimes it feels like preaching to the choir/converted over here on Tumblr dot com even though there's still a large chorus of fellow neurodivergents on here who still make ignorant jokes, slurs and follow the trends harmful to us and need to stop and also include us in neurodivergent and mental health awareness movement/discussions
it's still generally safer for us severe mental illness folks on here it's like my hidey-hole even tho the reality is nowhere is really truly safe lol
So yeah feel free to rb this and if you are on Insta, share my story abt the awareness day or share your own. We need our voices and experiences represented in the neurodivergent/mental health narrative. In fact we could really post about it all month bc other issues get whole months too and we are just as important as any other issue

#tag talk#vent#idk. I've been dissociating worse than normal recently. leaving the stove on. forgetting to clock out at work.#I've caught myself spacing out more. staring at the same place and I know how long it's been because I look back through my music queue#I'll flip back five songs until I finally find one I remember listening to. I can't do anything without constant music or other audio#I feel like I'm not myself. or.. idk. not in my body. and I don't know who's piloting it. we're both tired and dead.#I don't know what autopilot program is running this body but it's not very good.#I keep realizing that time is passing but I'm not the one spending those minutes#I'm afraid to drive anywhere because I don't know if I can safely drive. I've just been so faded into the background#I just. idk. this stress is fucking me up and I need to keep moving forward I need to keep moving forward I need to keep moving forward I n#but everything is so hard everything takes so long everything is going to be so much more work#and I keep fighting the trained bit in my head that keeps reminding me how well we slept the day after I drained my blood into the tub#how empty and clear my head was in the three days I recovered from opening myself up#I want to be back there. a closed environment. no more worries about my responsibilities.#to be fair. I did spend a pretty bad night with panic attacks and flashbacks and shit so I shouldn't idealize it so much#yeah. hmmmm. I think I've done my best to not think about. but it wasn't all That great#idk. I just. I'm so distant right now. the input lag is hard to work with. I'm zooming in just to see anything.#I'm traveling backwards at constant acceleration and yet somehow I'm still present in the world#my ears drone and the pressure builds in the back of my head but I still have work tomorrow and I can't afford to die#I have too many things to do and I know I will feel better in a few weeks#but also. Christmas is coming up. religious trauma is gonna be a constant zap in my brainstem until January#I was gonna rip a new one but I decided to shower first And Then do it but I lost motivation after the shower so uh I guess I've healed?#like. I just... don't wanna anymore. which is a testament to my recovery over the past five years I suppose.#idk. I'm gonna make it through but I'm not gonna be happy about it
