One thing I really like about how we use the affordances of tumblr is how reblogging yourself is used to break textposts up. It's not just a novel form of punctuation, it's effectively borrowing a structural trick from comics.

catching up an absolute batman... when he first started batmanning he ran around biting people?? with paralyzing fangs???
#absolute batman#is this a good comic? no#is it pretty fun and interesting in how it reinterprets the batman mythos? yea#on a meta level#i can't get over the bonkers understanding of economics#there's some incredibly dumb nonsense tho and the good ideas struggle to shine through#issue 4 was fun tho

Jason Todd died for your sins, and you dare rank him last??
Maybe if Jason Todd could find another storyline other than dying for our sins and coming back to life I’d rank him higher

the game Batman: Arkham Knight?
Batman: Arkham Knight (Video Game, 2015)
Explain your reasoning in the tags!
#lol nooooo#i think they did fix some of the issues because i do think city is the worst as far as misogyny goes in the series#and it was criticized at the time...#but they really dropped the ball with harley here especially considering how the setup would be very interesting for her#i do understand why they do killing joke here basically considering wether you like it or not it's a very important batman comic#and the game's retreading of it is not terrible tbf#it probably treats barbara as well as you can considering the setup#really i have more issues with selina and especially harley#city is the absolute worst tho with how the narrative treats talia

I think it's so odd and racist to compliment Americans for discovering that Chinese citizens are people

I remember when I was little my dad hated me going in the basement and he knew I was deathly afraid of the pokemon hitmonlee so he ripped the hitmonlee page out of my pokedex book and pinned it to the corkboard at the bottom of the stairs and I didn’t go down there for three years I was so scared

#rereading the calliope story in sandman and knowing what we now know about gaiman some of the stuff especially the bit where the author make#s calliope call him 'master' sure is...#idisagree it's gaiman putting it in a story to brag about it etc and i don't think just reading it as madoc = gaiman is correct intent wise#imo gaiman put some of himself /how he saw himself to both the authors who abuse calliope AND morpheus who saves her#madoc and dream even both dress like gaiman#it's far more likely to me he saw himself as a tragic conflicted figure etc#abusers don't generally see themselves as cackling villains#him seeing himself as a complex individual and even justifying his actions as necessary to create great art is more likely#it is quite a story to read in hindsight#i always had a feeling it was about someone real but figured it was about some other author#also worth noting this story came out in 1990

Whenever an artist who makes dark content gets outed as a sexual predator people will be like 'aha it was obvious something was up because their work was so dark and nasty' and whenever an artist who makes wholesome content gets outed as a sexual predator people will be like 'aha it was obvious something was up because their work was so aggressively wholesome' and it's like you know I think maybe you can't tell whether or not someone is a predator based on their artistic output.
