Do u think when roy was a teenager if someone rly pissed him off he would steal their catalytic converter

[stephhwing]

can i even allow myself the fantasy of it all?

not only are women blatantly and obviously sexualized more in comics than men, but even when when the storyline pretends to critique oversexualization and tells us the women hate it, they’re still encouraging the reader to sexualize her.

in the same comic that mirage uses kory’s body to pose for x-rated magazines, you know what dc does?

they gave fans the x-rated centerfold spreads.

even while a woman critiques being sexualized, the reader is encouraged to sexualize her.

woke up with blood on my pillow but no visible injuries. must've been the pain thinking about dickie grayson

[stephhwing]

genuinely believe post dickbats in the context of transfem dickie is her catalyst for change. dickbats beat into her that she was stupid to ever hope for a life as a woman, that she was meant to cut her hair and bulk to match bruce's build and gravel in that deep tone of voice. to be a brother for tim, to be a constant even while he wasn't with her, to be a father to the lost and hurt damian who had just lost his own, to be the loyal and faithful son to bruce.

in turn, bruce coming back felt like another betrayal in and of itself. how could you do this to me? how could you change me like this, even when you aren't here? and how could you make all my sacrifices null, when you just came back anyways? what am i now? i don't think she could stand it. just as dick had finally started to get used to bruce's absence (not over the grief though. not ever), she'd also started to box up all the feelings that she mourned losing with the presence cowl. and now he was back, and she had to readjust to him, and all her roles were different now, and what did that mean for those boxed up emotions? unlike her internal reconciliation with bruce for leaving (and coming back), she couldn't just return to normalcy. not now, with her nape-length curls and her frame, bigger and bulkier than ever. so she was stuck. cant go back, can't bear to go forward.

Transfem Grayson trying Mary’s name like a young girl slipping on her mother’s heels and walking on shaky legs for the very first time.

Jason gets multiple major storylines with the guy who murdered him AND the guy who murdered Steph while she gets basically no acknowledgment of any of her trauma and I feel so fine and normal abt that

[stephhwing]

do they crash yes or no

[stephhwing]

there is something so cruel about how every excuse or justification for not transitioning that dick could possibly think up has already been rendered null by the people she knows and cares for. "there cant be a female batman" (helena bertinelli did it first. cass cain.) "i'm too tall/strong/mannish" (the amazons exist. wonder woman. donna. kori. all strong tall wide muscled women) "I'm letting my parents down" (they wanted nothing for you but the best. they're not here to decide what that looks like for you) "bruce wont like it" (shall we list the ways you have offended him over the decades? and the ways he has been unable to hold anything against you for any period of time?) "I'm scared" (you fight roided supermaniacs three times a week and can backflip off the tallest point of gotham blindfolded. you have been on good terms with fear since you were three years old.)

Cain was surprisingly devastated by her disappearance and has never been the same since. He has never quite given up hope that someday she might return to his life. Batgirl Secret Files and Origins

We should lock Batman high on Poison Ivy's fujo sex pollen in a room with pink kryptonite Superman and see what happens. Oooohhh oh dear that's not how that's supposed to oof oh oh dear that is a lot of blood. Whoops. Well you live and you learn. Well I guess Batman won't but you know in theory.

propaganda:

Cassandra Cain/Brenda Miller:

Brenda is literally the first civilian Cass gets close to. Cass spends the entirety of Batgirl (2000) basically refusing to let herself have any civillian life. To the point where early on Babs APOLOGIZED to Cass for calling her ‘Cass’ and not Batgirl. But Brenda… Brenda and Cass click and she’s Cass’s first civilian friend, and the friend she makes in the aftermath of her Graig of Steph and leaving Gotham. Brenda invites Cass to a party, borderline flirts with her, and they have fun! Also, Brenda is one of the few people Cass EVER opens up to about David Cain and they bond over shitty fathers!! And this convo with Brenda is what sparks Cass’s interest in figuring out her mom (though that bit of the convo is written weird I’ll give you). Also when Bludhaven is bombed Cass spares not one thought for her milqutoast love I treat and instead grieves Brenda.

Also I think Cass should date a hot woman who’s been to jail. Good for her.

Helena Bertinelli/Barbara Gordon:
