I straight up reject the idea that David was the one that named Cass and I'm going to stick with the original idea that Babs did.

Because I like Barbara naming Cass after herself.

It makes no sense for David to name Cass, since she was just a living weapon in his eyes. What's the point of giving her a name?

I don't get why ppl hated Korra so much. She's rash , impulsive, arrogant and she made bad decisions, but that's what makes her interesting. And she often learned from her mistakes. I mean aang started out the series as an irresponsible child and we love him, part of his journey involved balancing his naive and kind nature with a more mature outlook.

Ppl out here hating on korra for the avatar cycle ending like she did it on purpose and not because she was facing a godlike creature, other avatars might've also lost to.

For me, what made lok kinda meh, was team avatar. Mako and bolin were boring, I'm sorry. And Asami's nice but she's not as interesting as anyone on the original team avatar. Korra was the most interesting person on the team so idg why she's getting the hate

This is peak tumblr purity culture. "The media he watched was not morally pure, so he was not morally pure, aka evil."

Also funny how batman becomes an imperial symbol of evil when an Israeli boy watches it, but not when any other 4 year old on earth does.

Why when talking about these kids' memory the only and solely remarkable thing yall can even find about their existences to mention is that they consumed western cop and military propaganda? Can yall only view compassion for human beings through the lenses of the imperial cartoons they liked?

losing my mind at this amazing story from r/dndmemes some people’s dnd adventures are just. So Fucking Cool

here’s the link and the story, it’s Amazing

[onlycleverinmyhead]

Something I feel should be part of Lex Luthor's characterization that I don't think is ever explored enough:

He has no interest in discovering Superman's secret identity.

He does not believe that Superman HAS a secret identity.

Why would he? Superman gives lengthy, tell-all interviews to the Daily Planet in which he makes it clear that his name is Kal-El, that he is an alien from the planet Krypton, and that he stays in a crystal fortress in the Antarctic.

Lex has no reason to suspect that Superman might even desire a normal human life, with a wife and son and office job in a dying medium. He's an alien from another planet with immeasurable abilities and strength. All that wholesome aw-shucks posturing is just an act; obviously Superman would never want to live among humans, he wants to dominate them.

After all, if Lex had Superman's power, that's exactly what he would do with it.

Lex is a narcissist! He can barely see beyond his own nose, and he would never, ever, for one moment suspect that Superman would actually be Clark Kent, that straightlaced, soft-spoken journalist who still wears double-breasted suits. Everyone knows his wife wears the pants in that relationship.

Even the fact that Superman is mostly seen in Metropolis wouldn't seem suspicious to Lex. After all, in his mind, he's the only person who has Superman's number, the single biggest threat to his unchallenged superiority over mankind - and he lives in Metropolis too.

“To me, the core of that attraction is that she is a better reporter than he is. Think about being Superman for a second. The Olympic record for weightlifting is 1,038 lbs., but you could lift more than that as a child. The record for the 100 meter dash is 9.58 seconds, but you can travel over 51 miles in that time. Going to Vegas? You don’t need your X-Ray vision to win at Blackjack, because you can just count the cards while holding down a conversation about nuclear physics. Without really trying, you are better at just about everything than anyone else in the world. However, (as Mark Waid once pointed out in a podcast with Marv Wolfman) none of that really translates to your chosen profession. Typing really fast does not help your prose. Being able to lift a tank does not help you convince a source to go on record. It is as near to competing straight up with normal people as Superman would ever be capable of. Even then, it comes easily enough to him that you get a pretty lofty perch at a great paper very early in your career. It is just in this one context, there is someone better than you are: Lois Lane. As mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, you reach up for the first time in your life and she rejects you. To me, it is an inversion of the Luthor story. Luthor sees someone above him and feels hate. Superman sees someone above him and feels love.”

AND YET A TRACE OF THE TRUE SELF EXISTS IN THE FALSE SELF

[onlycleverinmyhead]

ראיתי באינסטגרם מישהי שכתבה בתגובות שהאבטיח הוא סמל פרו פלסטיני בגלל שהפלסטינים תמיד השתמשו באבטיח במקום בדגל כדי למחות נגד הכיבוש. ובר��ש שלי אני כזה "על מה את מדברת הפלסטינים לא תמיד השתמשו בזה, פרו פלסטינים התחילו להשתמש בסמל הזה לפני שנה, את לא זוכרת?" ואז אני רואה שהיא רבה עם מישהו בתגובות שחושב שזה בולשיט והיא ענתה לו "זה ליטרלי קופי פייסט מצ'אט גי פי טי" כדי להוכיח שמה שהיא אומרת הוא אמיתי.

וכאילו זה כזה מתאים, לחשוב שמשהו שכמה אמריקאים המציאו שנה שעברה הוא חלק אינטגרלי מהעם הפלסטיני כי צ'אט גי פי טי אמר את זה.

the thing about many comics is that they will list female characters at the VERY edge of underweight for their height (or just straight up underweight) and then list male characters at the edge or well into overweight for their height and blame both on “muscle.”

Dick Grayson at 5 ft 10 and 175 lbs (general canon average) is overweight by BMI. Cassandra Cain at 5’5 and 110 lbs is underweight by BMI. and I’ve seen female characters as tall as 5’9 getting down to 110-115 lbs in canon estimates.

carrying extra muscle rarely means carrying less weight overall. Dick Grayson might be a BMI outlier for having more muscle than the average human (making his slightly overweight BMI arguably healthy) but being underweight and carrying a higher proportion of muscle than the average human rarely benefits women.

time to get real, DC. I want my 5’5+ women ripped and somewhere between 130-150. If they’re carrying more muscle, it just makes sense. if it’s for “agility” then why is Dick Grayson allowed to be overweight by BMI?

Because to her that's all that she has. Cain robbed her of her childhood, he robbed her of speech but she has those strange abilities and she's good, she's perfect, and she takes pride in that because that level of perfection can do good.

Cass believed she can never be normal, she believes fighting, being batgirl is all that she'll ever be good for and she'll be dammed if someone takes it away from her for an imitation of "normal" she'd rather be perfect for a year tham mediocre for a lifetime

I dont think you can really understand Cass unless you acknowledge that a key point in her arc is that she's given a choice between being normal and dying and she chooses death.
