looking for opinions both from americans and non-americans: what would you consider to be the big 4 american cities in terms of like, vibes-based cultural impact?
#american andddd#nyc LA chicago and Houston probably#actually Dayton wins over them all#prev said Miami and while Miami did occur to me i think its main claim to fame is mostky just tourism#whereas houston has a whole culture of music food and history that is much better known#(not that miami doesnt also have those things)#actually now that im thinking about it maybe#maybe new orleans should be included

Oh man, I saw your haircut comic in twitter a few days ago n I remembered just how much I loved short hair so I instantly booked an appointment. It's been 5-6 years so I missed it a lot! My hairdresser also asked if i was sure i wanted a man's haircut, at this point that's gotta be a universal experience 😂
Your comics make me so happy, your style is so fresh! I love how unique the characters look, like come on, the lastest GL post made me go heart eyes and everything 💕🥰
I wanted to ask what you thought of mullet/long hair!Dick 😂 the whole 80's look is hilarious but he's such a dreamboat that I feel like he pulls it off somehow
omg i'm so happy to hear!! hopefully you like your new haircut (๑•̀ ᴗ•́)ᕗ and thank you so much for all the kind words!! i 100% think dick pulls it off hahaha hope you don't mind that i doodled fem dick and dickkory for your ask!

theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents

Browsing horror on Tubi is also fun because once in awhile you come across a combination of words like "Psycho Santa 2" which forces you to recognize that whatever Psycho Santa is, it was worth making two of them. Also, every Amityville movie ever. You will never watch every Amityville.

Look man. Growing up in the early-2000's Hollister-era Aeropostale-era barely-post-heroin-chic-era was all, deeply, rotten and no good. But I'm glad I'm not 12 right now in this tiktok-infested clean-girl-rampant whatever-the-fucking-hell is going on right now because oh my god. oh my god...

as a pink lover. The ""universal""" hatred of the color pink by young girls is due to the heavy expectation of femininity forced on them. It is an expression of frustration at gender roles. It is not internalized misogyny. No you will not inevitably start liking pink as an adult and if you do that is not healing your inner divine feminine or whatever we're saying now. Its a color. 😁👍

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.
#on the other side of that coin let them read something that adults think is too shallow and easy#i guarantee you dav pilkey and raina telgemeier are not fucking around with the stuff they publish#i genuinely believe Cat Kid Comics Club and Ghosts should be required reading for elementary school#but parents are constantly wringing their hands about wanting their kids to read something more respectable or challenging#ckcc is the most effective book ive seen at getting kids to write their own stories#i have genuinely come across nothing like it in all the kids books ive read#so tired of parents who dont want their kids to read things that are fun

My family came back from Peru and ohhh, they bought me a llama pen. I used to have one YEARS ago, they sell them everywhere in touristic places. I saw it and I remembered when I used to imagine it running while I moved it around, so I wanted to draw Damian riding it 😭🙏
IT'S SO DUMB LOOKING I LOVE IT.

Oh, he looks lovely. I remember I tried replacing the ink once it didn't have more, but I ended up breaking it. I was heartbroken. But now I have it back!
Anyway, while drawing that I thought; oh, it would have been cute if he had been in his Robin outfit. Then I thought, well, if it had been his Robin outfit, I would have to Peruvianize it...? So here it is!!!

He's a dancer!!!! There's this super cool dance called the Scissor dance in Peru, and the dancers jump a lot; Perfect for Robin! I can imagine young Richard Grayson jumping around, CUTE CUTE CUTE! But since this is Damian, yeah.
I struggled with the colors a lot, but I'm satisfied! I was thinking maybe Talia and Ra's could be demons, inspired in that dance La diablada, which I dunno how to translate to English. In any case, in that dance there's an angel, it's a fight, and I was thinking maybe Bruce could be the angel? The problem is that the Angel obviously wears all white, and that can't be him, because Batman is...well, the dark night. Then I thought about the Ukuku, the bear man! And he's like a guardian, to put it somehow? And there are versions of the costumes where they have a dark mask, so I thought; that works! Since he's a guardian, he could also be the angel of the diablada...? Which I know historically it's incorrect, but In this AU, I think it could work!
Then I thought, maybe Damian should be the Ukuku, since the Ukuku is the son of a woman and a bear, but then I thought, nah, let it be Bruce, because then Damian can be part demon!!! And it gives him identity crisis, because he's part demon, part guardian. Just like in the comics!
(and yes, woman and bear, not woman and Bat. Maybe I can change that too???)
I was thinking maybe the scissors could open a portal to the world of the death. I love the idea! What if only a Robin can use them? Then Batman can go to Jason and ask him to use the scissors to bring Damian back to life and they can fight because they're not supposed to use them for that. They can fight and punch each other, just like the comics!!!!
Translating things to ones culture is always funny, I can't help but ramble!!!
...

Eso tilín también es parte de mi cultura .

are we far enough out of the 2010s that I can say that a lot of what was getting framed as intentional queerbaiting in the big Tumblr Popular shows was definitely just writers making homophobic jokes bc they thought the idea of a character being gay was funny rather than any attempted implication that a character might be gay
