She is the vice president of Biden.

The memes are just how absurdist gen z and millennials are responding to the situation, her campaign is encouraging it to advertise to a younger voter base

She wants to tax the rich, secure reproductive rights, secure Lgbtq rights, expand medicare, and a bunch of other stuff. She has an unusually good track record on human rights FOR a politician.

She is a black woman who is a former prosecutor and served as like the district attorney or something similar in California(most populous state.). She is objectively very accomplished.

Kamala is snarky, charismatic, and very well spoken. She's famous for having lots of lines like "this is not a food fight" during a debate, like i said, snarky.

Biden, who has just stepped down, was very unpopular and was mostly elected so trump wouldn't be elected. He's kinda senile. A lot of people rag on his stutter but that isn't really fair, most of the jabs are

The Democratic party REALLY wasn't happy about him being their candidate. Like one of the worst ever approval ratings. Very importantly he's pro isreal. Kamala has a less explicit, more protect Palestine view, which is a major plus for younger voter groups.

A lot of people are now energized by the fact they feel like the left finally has a chance at making some real progress and pushing out a lot of the far right(and some basically Nazis. I wish that was an exaggeration)

So pro human rights "young" black female prosecutor vs bigoted white guy facist who tried to overthrow the government looks really good to the people who are exhausted after decades of fighting tooth and nail to make progress in this country, and looks like even more of a relief against the current far right resurgence and hate crime resurgence

Make sense?

(As far as I'm aware she hasn't mentioned sudan or the congo. So no idea there. Just know things like she was forced to change a speech that was critical of isreal and some other stuff)

yo can americans explain kamala harris to me?? like, why do people want her? is it because she’s a meme? what’s her stance on congo/sudan/palestine? is she gonna tax the rich? what’s going on?

I started in DC by reading fanfics, but as I began to read actual comics, I started to be unable to read the actual fanfic that got me into it in the first place because it's so out of character.

But there are still some stories that I love to read because I love the found family trope so much, even if it isn't really accurate to the source material.

As a comics purist (sometimes), are there tropes that you like enough that you'll still enjoy a fic even if it's not accurate to canon?

oh my god this is SUCH a fun question. bc while i started with the comics, there were certain characters and/or character dynamics where i was exposed to the fanon before the canon (just bc it's hard to read everything when you start out just to read some fanfic) and so i've definitely experienced the fanon to canon transition. (*especially* with Jason Todd. i had only read 80s/90s stuff where he was already dead or the New-52 bc that was on-going when i got into comics and man. the fanon misunderstandings i had about him before i got frustrated and sat down to read all his pre-Flashpoint stuff were absolutely bonkers.) and aside from that, whilst i tend to prefer canon over fanon, i'm not past giving fanon its flowers for occasionally having really interesting insights. occasionally. so some of my fanon "guilty pleasure" tropes would probably be

Morally Grey Tim Drake - this is one where if you try to back it up with canon, i *will* get salty about it. of everyone in the Batfam aside from maybe Bruce and Cass, Tim has the *most* black and white morals. often his internal conflicts are routed in such an inability to compromise his moral views and it can cause him to clash with other characters. he's *very* stiff and rigid in his beliefs and is *rare* to compromise in even the smallest ways. i mean, DC has repeatedly used Tim Drake of Tomorrow/Savior/Gun Batman!Tim for a reason. it's to demonstrate that of everyone, Tim *cannot* have his morals compromised. there's no grey area for him. he's zero or a hundred, so if he tips over the edge of "too far" he tips *all the way*, and doing so is one of his worst fears, how he could go "too far" if he let himself. a couple panels out of context from Red Robin (2009) (which was a grief spiral for Tim to begin with) don't change that. now that said. if it's done *right*, i sort of love Tim being morally grey in fanfic. it takes a specific flavor for me, and it's incredibly important to include that mental spiral along with it, of him struggling to justify it. i don't have any interest in "Tim Drake is loosy goosy with Bruce's morals and has the highest kill count and no one knows teehee" bc it doesn't play with the interesting parts of making Tim morally grey, which are fracturing his psyche. but all in all, i think it's fun to put Tim in a morally grey area and i will read it in fanfic and i enjoy writing it a lot

Joker Junior!Tim Drake - i've not written it on this account (yet) but on my main ao3 account one of my biggest fics surrounds this concept. this is one of those "well *technically* it's canon but only in a specific very divorced from the comics universe and would not work at all in the main timeline" so, i categorize it as fanon in that 95% of fics exploring the concept are not doing so within the Batman Beyond universe, but the main timeline. i just love it. I'll take any excuse to whump Tim, but this concept is so fun. psychologically breaking Tim will always be my favorite pastime. there are so many ways to explore the long-term effects this could have on him, how it could affect the Batfam. i'm not a fan of it being used as a "gotcha" to Jason or Babs' trauma with the Joker to paint Tim as the Ultimate Victim, but it is fun to see how their relationships would be affected by being mutual victims of him. (i have a vague JayTim idea where TIm fully retires from being Robin after being Joker Junior and killing the Joker, making Steph Robin for most of his typical Robin era and Jason still tracks him down out of curiosity bc he wants to know what happened and all. very underbaked but i've got thoughts.)

Renegade/Apprentice of Slade!Dick Grayson - this is another one where yes, this happened *sort of* in canon, but i highly doubt most people writing Renegate!Dick have read or are actually pulling from Nightwing: Renegade. it's just an exploration fo the concept fo Dick being Slade's apprentice and i will always eat it up in any capacity. whether Dick grows up with Slade from a young age, or chooses Slade for whatever reason later in life. it's not anything that works in canon bc it compromises Dick morally (similar to the above with Tim) and therefore will always come across incredibly fanon in most fics. but i can't say i don't enjoy it. it's fun to make Dick a little morally fucked up and see what you can make him under Slade's tutelage.

Jason & Damian Meeting in the League -there's no world where i believe this could work in the canon comics. (maybe in the Young Justice cartoon i suppose, but even then i think it's iffy) i would go as far to say it's wildly unrealistic. i don't see a world where Ra's would let Jason anywhere *near* Damian, bc Jason was Talia's pet project that he didn't approve of. that all said, there's something very interesting about how they *could've* met and them potentially bonding during that timeframe. them being somewhat brotherly during this time because Jason sees Bruce in Damian and sort of latches onto the kid and Damian is full of wonder hearing real stories about Batman and Robin, then that getting violently ripped away by Jason leaving the League is fun to me. it's fun how that could affect them within the Batfam and all. it's super fanon to me, but i do not care. i will eat it up

Bad Dad Clark Kent/Good Dad Lex Luthor - i will admit as a late, i've been less and less kind to this particular fanon bc of everything i've argued with people about, *this* one seems the most pervasive as misunderstood fanon. i don't mind when fanon exists, my gripe is when ppl try to claim it's canon. and the *arguments* i've had over this with people who can never seem to cite an actual comic are... frustrating. but that said, i think there is something fun to this strictly in fanon. the duality of who you expect to accept Kon and who you expect to hurt him being flipped is just sort of fun for the occasional guilty pleasure fic. it can make Kon's internal conflict a bit more interesting. the same goes for the Jon favoritism from Clark, it's not a canon thing (and i rlly wish ppl understood how complicated the timeline of Kon and Jon is and any distance from Clark toward Kon isn't malice, it's that Kon is from a timeline that Clark does not remember in the current canon so Clark just straight up doesn't know the poor kid.) but it's sort of fun to give Kon that complex of being overlooked and forgotten sometimes. making Kon just a *bit* more Luthor than Kent will *always* appeal to me in fanfic, especially if he *knows* it's wrong but craves approval from anyone who will give it.

Good Dad Bruce Wayne - i'll die on the hill Bruce is canonically a shitty father. maybe not to the extreme some people write him as, but he's not great at it. that said, i enjoy it in fanfiction. sometimes, i just want silly fluff or hurt/comfort where Bruce finally gets it right and manages to comfort whatever Batkid is in the fic. one of my favorite fics of all time is hinged on Bruce being a good dad, so i think it's just fun to explore how good the relationships *could* be, if Bruce was slightly less of an asshole. i usually prefer him as an asshole, but there are times i want low stakes nonsense.

Gotham Rogues Having Soft Spots for Robin(s) - just about every Rogue in Gotham has done something absolutely irredeemable, and most of them don't like or care about anyone in the Batfamily. but if there's a fic where one of the Robins inexplicably is sort of close with a Rogue and they have a cute silly relationship out of it? I'll eat it up i fear. Steph and the Riddler are besties? I'll believe it. Tim and Scarecrow get along pretty well? give me ten of these. Rogues protecting Robins just hits a spot. the unexpected nature of the relationship, as well as the fact they see each other regularly, can make a lot of good fodder.

I find it funny how Twitter is always arguing what is better to call fang

Like many grew up with "Nack the weasel"

And others "fang the sniper"

A new generation going to get used to "Fang the hunter" plus "jet the Jerboa" being a new one mentioned but still an old name.

Yet no one's asking the proper question

WHAT IS HIS REAL NAME!?

If all these are fake names! Then what the hell is his real name! Or at least a name that makes him freeze up like "how do you know that!?" No one seems to ask that! No! Everyone's arguing that if you call him a certain old fake name of his than the other you're wrong! Like guYs, WHAT THE HELL IS HIS ACTUAL NAME THEN LMAO.

Nack the weasel is the closest one because well, he debuted with it and in my headcanon that's his actual name while fang is just a fake one.

But if NACK is just another fake name then WHAT IS HIS NAME I NEED TO KNOW-

what guides you? your heart or your head?

(are they really so different?)

what leads you? feelings or analytical thought?

(can we even distinguish between the two? can we ever separate one from the other?)

what drives you? longing or tangible goals?

(can you even tell the difference? can you have one without the other?)

the head or the heart? logic or love? empathy or rationalization?

(I don't know I don't know I don't know)

I have had about 3-4 people make jokes about me being "the real-life John Constantine" in my life, including my dead best friend, which I always brushed off as absurd, but it never felt so real as tonight, when someone I haven't spoken to in 6 years showed up at my doorstep suddenly, asking me if they could look through my "stupidly large library of fucking magic books" because "they needed one for something & I was the first person they thought of that would have what they need" and I was just like "how is this the thing people know me for. I moved out of state, dropped off the face of the earth, and ghosted everyone I know, and still people FIND me & SHOW UP at my HOUSE specifically to ask me about the OCCULT without warning. It's like my life is an issue of Hellblazer."

i love the combative way yaz asks questions after s12. i dont think she does it so much in s12 but from halloween apocalypse on (im thinking of "so you know them, these sea devils?" or "yeah, what does quantum extraction mean?" rn but im sure there are more) her questions always feel half challenge half like shes already gearing up for a fight

Why do people on reddit have to fuck around with you and make you feel like an idiot for asking a question instead of just answering the question?
