#I DONT EVEN LIKE BABS
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Text
After everything DC has done w babs and her disability ive developed a knee-jerk reaction whenever i see any art of her standing 😭 like no im sure random fan artist #1337 doesnt hate wheelchair users theyre probably just a modern reader its fine its fine and even when its not its DC's fault not random people who read their comics without knowing all the context
#i dont even like babs but DC has treated her and specifically her history as a disabled character SO badly that im super defensive about it#if i see one more take from DC comics about how she's better as batgirl im gonna throw up#do yall think if daredevil was DC hed stay blind. bc im like 50/50 on it.#I DONT EVEN LIKE BABS#I JUST HATE HOW DC HAS TREATED THEIR DISABLED CHARACTERS#and ofc it comes back to capitalism blah blah corps arent people#a lot of creative decisions are just business and marketing decisions in disguise#ok i havent even had breakfast yet so im done being angry. for now.

Sorry to just drop into this, but another thing to consider with handmade good and the ‘overpriced’ idea is that you also have to factor in how much stock might sell at any given time.
For example, if you make 100 pairs of earrings in a month but might only sell 30 (because you need to give people options etc.) then the profit from those 30 should reasonably cover the time you spent making all 100.
Also, it should pay for the time you spend at craft fairs, replying to any commissions/ purchase requests, packaging time and going to the post office, any online marketing you might do (tumblr posts etc).
Peolle don’t often factor these in when thinking about the value of crafts they buy, which is a bit unfair.
yes there are other overheads but the thing is. basically all of those to some extent also apply to fibre arts
but sure. to be thorough. i spend 10h a week at my market stall and an hour... let's say 2 be generous with it... updating the shop
if i made 50 pairs of earrings and sold 15, the "materials" cost of 1 pair, to cover their unsold breathren, goes from 42p to £1.40
earrings are far from the only thing though, and account for less than half of the sales. so. we can say that about 5h of stall/shop time is covered by those
(plus the hour it took to make them)
sale price - materials cost but split over 6 hours of labour instead of 1.5 is still ��12 an hour
#but then. i don't charge for the time organising crochet commissions either#so even charging for labour on jewellery that i DON'T charge for in fibre arts#and more than triple the material cost#which really is fudging the numbers as much as possible in one direction to try and even them out#i can get it down to oh. just over double the hourly rate for crochet#the reason i dont charge for that labour in fibre arts is bc it's expensive enough as is#the reason i dont count 'market time' as paid labour for the other stuff is bc i am doing the exact same thing i would be at home#(making stuff and talking shit)#but downstairs instead of up here#it's a 5h craft hang but occasionally someone hands you money#which i think is a lot of the reason most [makers] dont count it#especially if it's a regular stall setup like mine and not a one-off craft fair#there's no set up/take it down again time it just stays there#i walk downstairs i make jewellery with my friends for 5h and then i go back upstairs again#(hell quite honestly me and babs dont count the money we spend on supplies for the simple reason of We Would Be Buying Them Anyway)#crafting is a disease with no known cure

Just found out I missed a jaybin story and he has a little winter Robin uniform in it,, devastating,,,
#HE FINALLY GOT A SNOW READY SUIT. IM SO HAPPY FOR HIM#poor boy had to go the mountains and the arctic in classic robin shorts. this is everything#do you know how much ive been messing around with drawing a snowbin uniform#mine looks better though.#the lime green for the sleeves and pants makes the red stick out in a bad way. uneven. i do like the little santa belt buckle though#not sure if intentional#its weird seeijg two face not recognizing jaybin though. its written like its their first meeting. very fascinating#they have a fun interaction#and some brief 80s barbara and jason interaction. even if they dont talk. its more than i knew there was#a little jason picture on his desk...#im liveblogging as i read this rn. btw.#dc liveblog#WAIT. IS THIS AN 80S COMIC IMPLYING JASON DIED IN AUGUST#or its implying the jokers attack against babs n jay happened recently so more like july death#im seeing the august thing rn though bc that is the cooler and funner option#lots of focus with their obsession w the war on crime. neat#the prologue was 2 years ago! def an early case for jaybin. also means he likely died in the current year for the comic#bc 2 years was about the length of his robin time#!! alittle jaybin info sheet... look at his cool jacket.....#oo listed as 5'0 here#ohhh im not normal about this actually#80s comics are so normal about him its great#“Jason heroically threw himself in front of Haywood to try to protect her from the explosion. but it killed them both.”#what if i cried#probably not the intent. but mention of jaybins death combined w bats trying so hard to save a two face goon makes me think of willis#i wnjoy the art of him here#edit: no wait im awful with remembering dates. got his death n birthday switched up#his birthday.....

of all things in my au im putting mrs gleeful in a prominent role? so thats how my life is going
#my post#gravity falls#im working on my reverse relativity falls au rn#and i have NEVER liked 1:1 swap aus so im not making the handyman soos' grandma nor am i making the cashier manly dan#im also just not interested in writing about those characters ajfhshd sorry#fiddleford is the handyman in mine and. mrs gleeful is the cashier#ive just always found her interesting actually !!! we almost never see her and we dont even know her first name#but shes clearly been through so damn much ??? i know you could say all of the characters probably have but#idk she just stuck out to me#i was going over the list of gf characters to fill that role and i was like. fuck it. mrs gleeful#BUT she is not a romantic interest to either of the stan twins ok. i never liked that storyline even in the og show#but they all do still become friends of course#i think im gonna name her babs (short for barbara). why? because i couldnt think of anything better-#than naming her something ever so vaguely similar to buds name#but hes not really a factor in this story concept (yet?) so shrug#anyway yeah#mrs gleeful

actually genuinely do not get why people still insist tim is 17 when 1) he is mentioned to have gone to college and seemingly dropped out, 2) cassie was/is in college, 3) bernard is in college. they are maybe not the same age exactly but they are the same generation. they should be at least 18
#ty to britta for checking thta convo for me. babs mentions town uni not working out for tim meaning he did go at least for a bit#also like how old is damian nowadays. if hes even 14 tim should be 21 bc theyre 7 years difference. i know dc doesn't give a shit about this#but also has tim been called 17 in recent canon bc i dont think he was? did i miss that?#please tell me if so bc i keep seeing fans insisting hes still 17 more than i do actual comics#i know its sort of a We Assume Until Its Told Explicitly thing but well that makes no sense to me if everyone else is aging. Idc#dc cant tell me shit. sorry#txt

Sometimes...I live in a world where Gary King and Nicholas Angel are cousins.
And sometimes...SOMETIMES...Nicholas' uncle Derek is Gary's dad.
#This gets complicated if Derek is Nicholas' uncle via his father. Cuz then his last name would likely be Angel--not King#The wiki says he's Nick's dad's brother but i cant recall. and my rental of the movie ran out so :/#I think it would be neato if for some reason or another Garys mom was like 'eh fuck this Derek guy' and gave Gary her own last name instead#all that said i have so many ideas about Gary's parents and i dont want to commit to any of them. go stupid go crazy as they say#pyra speaks#gary king#nicholas angel#Honestly imagine the drama of Nicholas being older than Gary so the whole arrest thing happened when Nick was a kiddo and thus Gary was BAB#maybe not even born yet#and then Derek gets arrested and then just fuckin yeets out of his old life#so Nicholas is Gary's older cousin who not only knew Gary's dad better than he ever got to but is also sooo ffing successful#Heehee i think that dynamic would be NUTS. heh#Saying this as if most of my thoughts for this au aren't fluff about Gary recovering and visiting his kind+supportive cousin in Sanford#twe#hot fuzz#twe au#hf au#cornetto trilogy

Batgirl #39 - Dylan Horrocks
This page alone is just so much proof about how Barbara is Cass' best guardian and the adult figure who cares about her most. She isn't afraid to call out Bruce and deadpan antagonise him ("Ha." is such geninus. He hates being laughed at.)
Also Bruce's insistence that Cass is old enough to be forced to fight but he won't let her even consider dating Superboy is so interesting. It's the same possessiveness he has over Tim with Steph. He doesn't think someone is good enough for his kid - and he makes his kid and the person MISERABLE because of it. He actually destroys property because of how mad he is at Babs for this. It's controlling and toxic.
And the worst part of all this?
Barbara actually thought Bruce had listened to her. She was trying to give Cass a teen experience complete with cute beach clothes, letting her have a little alcohol for the first time, and even encouraging some summer flirting.
Cass is uncertain Bruce thinks this is alright, and look at how happy Babs is to reassure her that no, he actually had the idea! He paid for everything as a treat.
And then the rug is pulled out from her, and because of her paralysis she can't even take over for Cass, she has to watch every small scrap of progress be ripped away.
It's not the most cruel thing Bruce does to Cass, but at least at other points he doesn't pretend to be kind, to let her hear she deserves a holiday before proving he doesn't think she's good enough (he engineers the situation because she hesitates in a previous fight).
(Also Tai'Darshan was absolutely right in calling out the willingness of American business to ignore murder if they can get oil and making Cass' hesitation about him purely about his looks and not his politics and kindness was a sexist writing decision.)
Bruce engineers a situation to force Cass to atone for her hesitation or else be responsible for murders happening on her watch, and also puts her up against a metahuman when Babs explicitly says that their current advice for her is not to face them. It's Superboy who wins the fight, not her - if he hadn't been there she could have been in real danger.
Barbara setting a boundary for Cass, and Cass failing for one single moment, is reacted to with a cowardly trick to make them redeem themselves to him.
Unfortunately, it's not an unusual Bruce play for his bats.
And Barbara knows exactly what he's doing, and is powerless to stop him by design.
She's allowed to raise Cass, but not to protect her, and it makes me so angry. Both of them deserve so much better.
#cassandra cain#cass cain#barbara gordon#batgirl#anti bruce wayne#anti batman#he's a complicated man but this makes me so angry#babs is cass' older sister/guardian and bruce should trust her!!!!#this kind of punishment for boundary setting is toxic even when applied to the vigilante comic world#like in comics and the genre bruce isnt abusive for making cass batgirl#but the way he pushes her to breaking point and punishes her without any communication and active deceit....#it's toxic at the very least#and can be read as abusive#i dont want to get into is he or isnt he overall because that's such a big question dependent on how much canon you adhere to etc etc etc#but this comic highlights his controlling and punitive tendancies

Sorry this is petty but I need 1634 back right NOW because why am I seeing soulmate talk with 3488 like the entire beginning of the season didn't happen
exactly 😭😭😭 like not even just this season but their whole nhl careers.... i'd respect it more if ppl were just like those are my favorite guys so !! but . they are trying to rewrite the history of these mens careers like willy hasn't ALWAYS had other guys he's way closer to and like auston and mitch aren't like. objectively this franchises superstars and also haven't been completely intertwined. like i don't even need to argue about it.... auston matthews literally says it himself over n over he loves mitch the most fjkdsksdfl so.
#easks#im sorry but willy n auston dont strike me as super close like every time austons been asked abt him hes like#yeah willy and the whole swedes group thing they got going on! like they give nothing.#now.. by virtue of being some of the oldest leafs.... there is a closeness and a fondness i will not deny obviously theyre friends but#in comparison to mITCH??? the guy he literally begs to play with.... who he has intricate hockey rituals with since the day he came into#the nhl...... whose entire careers are wrapped up in each other despite the fact that theyve legit played less together ........ ok 😭😭😭#who spent their entire rookie years bonding with every man they came into contact with as a duo..... who have matching numbered necklaces..#who give each other liney gifts that they wont show the public for hashtag privacy#like yeah. not on the same levels at all sorryfkldsj#i get a preference but as soon as ppl start comparing them well. i am here to say.#willys always had the swedes or kappy or even fred n zach lol#disingenuous to have him as a fav n then just Pretend thats been the case like it rlly hasnt#they arent in their own lil group together in any way fbdn they have their own cliques#just bc they played hockey together first when babs was forcibly keeping the guys that wanted to play apart doesnt. mean much tbh

Anyone who watched S3 of Titans and thought that what happened between DB was #awin is making it up (in their own heads) because she wasn’t even in the S3 recap, making her #irrelevantinS3 🤣 😂 😜
Yeah I keep hearing she wasn't in it which is honestly funny I'm sorry. Like she had so much screentime and they really said "our bad lets pretend that didn't happen" 😭

i can feel my brain trying to form a special interest in build a bear. because i have quite a collection of retired stuffed animals. but there is such a LACK of information about the history and catalog of bears that i CANT get interested because THERES NO INFORMATION . so now my brain is whispering in my ear like WHAT IF WE COMPILED ALL OUR INFORMATION AND MADE A REAL HISTORY.
#like this one bab im looking for i just found out was probably a uk exclusive???#but if you look it up theres 1 link to the uk website and maybe like three reddit posts of people asking about it#and one overpriced listing on ebay#i dont even know what year it was released!!!#theres a fandom page but its actually dogshit#it mostly lists popular vault bears and modern bears from like 2021 onward#i have this snow leopard bab that i got from the st louis zoo when i was younger#and it shares a lot of similarities with the wwf snow leopard EXCEPT hes bipedal instead of quadruped#the ONLY thing i can find of bipedal snow leopards that look like him is ONE picture on the internet#LIKE THIS IS SO INTERESTING AND I WANT TO KNOW MORE BUT NOBODY FUCKING KNOWS!!!!!!#a version of the collectors catalog from babw is out there on the internet but it only goes to 2010#which is FRUSTRATING because all of my unknown babs are from 2012 onward#tv static

Ok I had this rotting in my mind for days now
Bruce *going live as brucie Wayne because he saw a tweet about him saying he was acting weirdly (it was actually damian shit posting) and paranoid abt his identity he decides to up the brucie effect to 100* : and then he winked at moi! Like, can you believe itttt~
Dick *kicks the door open, bursting into the room full on sobbing* : bruuuceee
Bruce *immediately stops what he was saying and gets up to comfort him* : what's wrong chum?
Tim, steph, cass and duke *run into the room in various levels of crying*
Bruce *actually starts to panic* : kids?
Damian*walk in sniffing* : baba!
Bruce *pale and looks about ready to cry himself* : what's wrong?who was it? Give me names,descriptions, anything-
Jason-youre-not-my-dad-i-dont-live-here-fuck-you-mothefucking-todd *walks in red-faced and barely keeping it together*: dad..
Okay, picture this we've got Bruce pale and sweaty, holding a still sobbing dick and and surrounded by steph,cass,duke and picking damian up all quietly crying and/or sniffing and we've got tim pressing his face to Bruce side, shoulders chaking and then jason of all people starts sniffing and Bruce literally goes even paler (of that's even possibe) and pulls him in
Bruce : What's wrong? Talk to me, sweetheart
Dick : it-it's they- * Starts wailling*
Bruce : they? Who's they? Did you get their names?adresss? Social security number?
Steph : n-no it's not- *hiccups and buries her face on him, you can hear her crying*
Jason :..I don't think I'll ever be the same
Bruce : from what? What is it?
Barbara * Wheeling in, popcorn in hand, eyes red and sniffing:
Bruce : Barbara?
Babs: hey b
*Que lots of sniffing*
Bruce : what's going on?
Babs:Oh, we watched a movie
Bruce: excuse me?
Babs: Yeah, grave of the fireflies, man that was heartbreaking
*higher crying*
Bruce:
The next day
Headlines go like this :
*brucie Wayne secretly just a loving father*
*brucie Wayne threatens whoever hurts his children*
*Wayne children being dependent on their dad no matter how old they get*
Social media similarly is bursting with :
"I love how he was ready to commit murder for them lmaooo"
"Is it just me or did brucie just get 10 times hotter*
"Man, dick grayson crying is something I didn't know I needed, that man is such a pretty crier"
"Damn, I love how tim drake and Stephanie brown just buried themselves in their dad"
"My God I always thought damian wayne was bratty but he's actually really cute?"
*God brucie holding damian, dick and still hugging all his other children is so hot"
"Hold on, isn't jason todd dead?"
(And no, this isn't me projecting. grave of the fireflies did not emotionally destroy me. What?)
#they're my babies#batfam#dc universe#batman#bruce wayne#brucie wayne#dick grayson#tim drake#stephanie brown#duke thomas#cassandra cain#damian wayne#jason todd#barbara gordon#social media#bruce is so done#bruce is a tired dad#bruce is a good dad#give him break tho#my poor babies
