hi. are you scared? i know i'm scared. i'm scared a lot, actually. but when i curl up under the blankets to hide from the world outside they are soft and comforting against my skin. and food still tastes good even when my hands tremble holding the fork. so i think that we will be okay

I'm going to start a collection of panels of various DC characters telling Batman he ain't shit in a probably doomed effort to make tumblr understand that other superheroes are not actually that impressed or scared by him. Starting off with a couple of my favorites:

HE HAS NO REJOINDER. Steph you are my everything.

Again, Bruce has nothing to say BECAUSE WALLY'S RIGHT AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT.

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

Recently, my sister finished the last of a set of Stardew Valley Cross Stitch for me. Today the frame I had made for it was finished and I wanted to share it with everyone!

Way to let the kid know he’s only important to you as Robin, Bruce-man…

(Batman and Robin Year One #6)

He did do better a minute later, I guess. But it’s still about Batman and Robin, no reassurance Dick would be welcome even if he stopped being Robin. Which is consistent with what we know of their future, to be fair, but I can still be sore at Bruce about it…

rewatched tangled and had this beamed into my brain

Fallout conspiracy theory: Most of the skeletons in funny poses were placed like that by bored wastelanders long after the war.

"casual" as an insult is really funny tbh. hey everybody this guy plays games for fun. they like to relax and have a good time

"every possible kind of content can be found on the internet" yeah sure except for the One fucking thing I'm looking for. why does no one want to talk about the One Singular thing I'm looking for. but yeah other than that everything is on here.

i read this post on tumblr the other day that talked about how dick's time at haly's as part of the flying graysons made him particularly receptive to bruce's teaching methods to the point where bruce thought 'wow parenting is easy!' and then immediately got the next kid killed ://

and honestly? yea

dick's training as a flying grayson really is an overlooked part of his backstory. he already was doing death defying stunts and back breaking training! that was normal for him! and that probably 1) gave him a thing for perfectionism even before bruce, 2) primed him for bruce's specific brand of bat training and other neuroses and 3) made him think that yea, ofc, none of this is a big deal.

its amazing. truly the duo of all time.

au where superman was raised in gotham but it's always so dark and gloomy with the rain + smog combo that he just never gets the requisite amount of sunlight to realize he has superpowers
