It's not that I hate fanon or that I think fanon is inherently less intelligent or morally wrong, but a LOT of fanon is based in racism, misogyny, and classism that I feel like a lot of you accept without question.
WHY is Duke (Daredevil, son of a god, has never once allowed himself to be defined by anyone's actions but his own) relegated to a background role, only characterized by reacting to the whims of other bats?
Why is Babs - Birds of Prey leader and backbone of the hero society, tells Bruce to fuck off and die 4 times a day and is constantly ruining her relationships by being biased and unhinged - Gotham bound, the mature responsible mom of the group who never argues with Bruce and never gets in trouble?
Why is Dick, both a tactical genius and master manipulator, a himbo only appreciated for his sex appeal? Especially when he is both Romani (group of people demonized and condemned as hypersexual by their nature alone) and an SA victim.
WHY is Damian "feral" and "uncivilized" despite being raised as a literal prince? Half of you treat him like a sociopath with no hope of redemption for an unfunny three second joke and the other half of you go full throttle into Bruce's white savior bullshit so that Damian can be "redeemed". Y'know when you're not villainizing Talia and acting like Dick is his other parent, actually.
WHY is Stephanie - extremely intelligent detective who can't stand Bruce and has a living mother she loves - lumped in as another member of the Batfam, a blonde ditz who only cares about prank wars and emotionally supporting Tim?
WHY is Cass - intelligent, a grown adult, suicidal perfectionist - emotionally intelligent, primarily existing to support the characters around her, immediately accepting of everyone she meets regardless of her own morals?
Why is Bruce the golden standard? Enough so that though everyone in the fandom could agree that he's an emotionally unstable wreck, being considered "the most like him" is seen as a compliment and not the HIGHEST insult? Everyone would agree if I said that Bruce purposely self sabotages his relationship half the time and the other half he simply does things without caring about the emotional impact it will have on people because he has to be the smartest in the room, but if I said that makes him a shit partner and emotionally abusive parent the fandom would bend over backwards to argue with me.
Why is Tim "the best Robin" when Dick Grayson invented the mantle, it is impossible for someone to embody the spirit of Robin better than him because he made it and he created what being Robin means. Maybe Tim is the best in Bruce's eyes, but what Robin means and who has the right to give it over was a significant thing they argued about. Tim the high school drop out, and yet also somehow the smartest? Tim "the most like Bruce" except no he's not, that's Cass. Poor neglected, abused, victimized little Timmy (the rich boy at the elite boarding school with loving albeit busy parents and almost every instance of him being victimized by another character has either been racist bullshit - The Al Ghuls and Rose Wilson- or a complete 180 for the character that made no sense when examined through the lens of prior characterization - Jason for instance.)
Almost every fanon trope that gets passed around like gospel seems to deliberately push POC characters and women into the background and strip them of interesting complex traits and stories, usually for the purpose of fitting them all into bite sized incorrect quote character types and uncomplicated narrative roles that are not only completely divergent from canon, but primarily exist to prop up the two rich white boys.
Also the insistence that Bruce, a 20 year old at the time, should actually be excused for how much he mentally and emotionally fucked Dick up because really they're more like siblings! While deciding that Dick at the same age was actually the perfect candidate to be Damian's new parent/guardian...have you lost the fucking plot you don't even make sense to yourselves.
Okay I lied at the beginning, I do hate fanon. You guys are so uncritical about the media you consume it is BEYOND just letting people enjoy things and have fun. I guess it's one thing if you KNOW this stuff isn't canon and UNDERSTAND why these tropes are problematic and you engage with it as such, it's fine read and write what you want, but just spreading the same nonsense around and parading it around as "better than canon" (version of the character so bland and boring you've somehow made the old white men at DC look like geniuses in the art of representation) is just infuriating.
#I didn't talk about Jason because every other post I make is about how bad fanon has fucked him up#and I would have mentioned Helena but honestly her being pushed out of the family is more a matter of people not reading comics#I wouldn't consider Jason her “replacement” accept in the moral philosophy department#wherein Helena feels an inherent guilt that Jason simply doesn't#and while Helena is firmly an anti hero Jason is willing to kill heroes if it means accomplishing his goals#I do think there's something to be said about his fanon relationship to Bruce and Cass#that directly replaces Helena's actual canon relationships though#If any of you bring up the Catholic Jason headcanon I'll kill you#I made posts about that already she did not trademark Catholicism#dc#canon vs fanon#bruce wayne#dick grayson#damian wayne#stephanie brown#cassandra cain#Barbara Gordon#duke thomas#tim drake#It IS really weird how you guys keep giving Bette Kanes actual canon identity to random people#like damn you couldn't even do a cursory Google search before you gave Wally or Tim or w/e her mantle

it is funny though how kids' shows are so so so careful about death, no one's ever killed except MAYYYYBE the big bad, all those random side characters are fine, here have a quick shot of them before we leave just so you know they really did survive that 50-foot drop into a stormy sea,
and meanwhile kids' books nearly all agree that it's not an adventure until it has a body count.
#to be clear I don't mean the heroes killing people#that's frankly a separate question#but bad guys come with collateral damage#even if they're nameless extras who are never described as more than a body in the street#and quite often the friends the hero meets along the way#will not all make it to the end#edit: actually I do also mean the heroes killing people#atla being so so so careful to show random mooks surviving and having the fire nation take prisoners all the time#vs animorphs going 'yeah we kill people. yeah we've got ptsd. what of it'#vs that one vivian vande velde book I read where the protagonist is really really stressed#about creeping up on a mook with a rock to bash him on the head#bc *what if she kills him?* she's just a teenager she doesn't know how brain trauma works she doesn't want to be a murderer#to be clear animorphs and this book are on the same page

still haven't moved on from zane in this episode (aka I hit tag limit again and am unhappy about it)
#alek insanity#not gonna main tag this but prepare for a tiny rant#home is actually really good zane characterization and its super cool to me how it holds up to this day#s1 characterization is very specific to me because the behaviors displayed by the ninja there (mostly) isnt bc thats how they really are but#its due to societal pressure. cole originally being more 'stone faced tough guy' -> 'down to earth' -> 'really sensible easy to talk to guy'#is because hes always been a sensitive guy... but he felt he couldnt express that true version of himself. thats the whole thing behind his#true potential. jay going from s1 -> s6 -> now is less of societal pressure and more teenager figuring himself out but it still applies. ish#seeing how much the ninja have changed or grown from then to now is amazing because back then they all wore masks. they didnt know each#other all that well. but theyve gained that comfortability with each other and also have grown and matured as people#some seasons / eps characterization for certain people im not a fan of (lloyds random misogyny arc in s13) but i mean the overall trend here#and then there is zane. zane in home was pretty dead on to how he behaves now (at least... when it comes to his faults?) and i dont want to#say people skim over that but i am the sf proclaimed n1 s1e2 fan and overthink every scene. zane's early characterization is some of my fav#for him period. he also goes through a ton of traumatic stuff and a ton of bad writing bouts but why he acts so 'weird' or 'distant' has#always been a thread sewn in. he changed so much he stayed the same in a way... if that makes sense. -> ohhh the ninja get mail and he#doesnt? oh he has no family? he quite literally walks away from that situation. oh the ninja are yelling in his face and asking whats wrong#with him? he literally walks away from that situation. he says its to follow the falcon but seeing how he apologized to them by not only#baking a ton of pies (cough... the food fight is what led to him leaving at first) but he also found them a whole entire new house.#zane is unable to truly value what he does for others. insert him in s11 saying he 'tried' to fufill his goal of protecting others.#everything he has ever done still isnt good enough. then the ninja tried to apologize and he didnt really... let them.#that one post about characters putting on facades and that facade being how people really see them. even in fandom. thats zane to me#the guy who lies about being upset and avoids his problems ran away after being yelled at? and he said he wasnt really mad? that is a lie!!#him being a ~360 when it comes to his character development is neat to me because he never hid behind a mask in the same way the others did#cole wanting to seem tough vs being really soft? kai wanting approval so bad he starts being selfish? kai isnt selfish usually!#he is self centered but that is a whole different thing. just wanting to fit in and breaking free of that. zane's true potential came in the#form of 'i finally know why i am not normal' instead of 'i will be my true self'. zane never pretended to not be weird#(instert book) states he literally didnt know why people got mad at him. he just existed and it was 'wrong'. the mask he hid behind was#avoidance. he was pretty open about how he actually was (most of the time). when he was upset he would audibly sigh and walk away lol#but for him saying he wasnt upset / saddened by the ninja... it felt like a moment of selflessness. if that makes sense. he blamed himself#for the monestary burning down. so he didnt deserve the apologies (ish) in the virtues of spinjitzu zane is shown as the generous one iirc#he puts the needs of others over his own. he will bear whatever burden he needs if others are happy. at that same time he doesnt allow

Can't sleep. Thinking about Closeson.
#folding my hands and looking up the ceiling. i miss them..#wish he had gotten more Darryl and Glenn scenes bc Matt n Freddie are fucking electric together#two very funny guys being funny. sigh.#Thinking about the Darryl and Glenn Bullywugs argument like Thats So.....Married Couple.#Glenn explaining his plan to burn down an entire forest and Darryl is offput but not disinterested#the hammock scene. buries my head in my hands#THE ARGUMENT TURNED KISS. I MISS THEM SO BAD I MISS THEM DARRYL COME HOME. COME HOME!!!!#they're so Competive Couple. arm wrestles and loud fun arguments and random bets to one up each other#Darryl. a pool of finite patience thats rapidly running dry and Glenn who is stealing it by the bucketful#Catholic vs Stoner Rockstar FIGHT!!!!!!!!#Darryl bicep curling Glenn and the others out if the fire pit was so. GESTURES WILDLY.#They out each other in their place but lovingly. also ive said it before but Glenn has a tongue piercing and Darryl is a simple man.#not tagging this. you cant make me.

I think tsukasa is a normie sorry. He does not know memes or internet trends he’s too busy scouring the internet for bootleg theatre productions and practicing facial expressions in the mirror. Guy who could tell you everything you need to know about some obscure actor/play from 100 years ago but does not know a single modern celebrity if they’re not involved in acting. He’s adding new poses to his vast repertoire he is not making banger posts online. “Based? Based on what?” Type of guy.
#nene is the most internet poisoned wxs member and she is not sharing that info with tsukasa#rui is also somewhat online but I feel like he’d mostly be on Wikipedia clicking all the links on an article for a soup#<- also the kind of guy to be watching videos on the most obscure topics just for fun#emu is untainted by the sins of modern internet she is just watching funny pet videos online#i do however think rui would teach tsukasa memes so that tsukasa can misuse them on purpose to annoy nene#sliding scale of nene in middleschool getting into heated online discourse vs tsukasa going ‘that’s boring I’m logging off’#would like to amend that actually I think tsukasa would see a bad take on one of his favorite actors and get into a 5 day long argument#online on some random barely used Internet forum until the mods were like ok we’re locking this thread every1 shut up#mine#project sekai

with the top ao3 ship poll going around right now, i have to admit that while i can 100% see why stucky resonated with so many people from an intellectual standpoint, i either have a bad memory or wasn't paying that much attention during the first captain america movie so by the time i watched ca:tws i had completely forgotten about bucky barnes' existence, and now every time i see something about stucky i'm just reminded of watching that scene in ca:tws where steve's like, "bucky?" and bucky's like, "who the hell is bucky?" and i was like, "i would also like to know who the hell bucky is."
#ca:tws#stucky#well i remembered that steve had a friend who fell off a train so i didn't completely forget#but i didn't recognize him or remember his name when he turned up in ca:tws#i also didn't recognize coulson when he was killed in the avengers (2012)#i just thought they were mad that loki killed him bc killing people is bad even if it's some random guy we haven't been introduced to#and then i started reading avengers fanfic and they were all like “i can't believe loki killed coulson” and i was like who??????#anyway me vs my inability to remember characters i guess#kvetch oc

I hate you apps that display my location for everyone to see. I hate you apps that tell other people when I’m online or not. I hate you apps that make me in any way more visible to the general public.
#Sometimes I just want to not exist in the eyes of the world#I want to not be perceived#and fucking Snap Maps makes it pretty damn difficult#I hate when I want to scroll through instagram and someone starts sending me stuff because they saw I’m online#not because I hate them but because I’m alone in my room and thought I wasn’t being watched#I know we’re basically living in a surveillance state anyway but it feels different knowing#some random guy at Apple knows my location and is using to advertise at me better#vs my friends using it and making me aware of it#even if it’s just because my friends want to hang out or something totally innocent like that#it still feels bad#I just want a fucking moment where the illusion that I’m not being watched feels real. Please.

i know i joke about it a lot. but i want to make sure its known i dont hate people who want to say rhine is still a good person in some capacity. i feel like im notvery clear on it but it is okay to interpret her howver you want (as long as its like. something you can rationalize. even then go crazy!!!!) >> (also. as long as it isn't *completely* erasing her character. )
#sorry#i feel like i havent ever clarified this#all interpretations of rhine are okay because shes clearly structured to be that way (as of now)!!!!!!!#the contrast between her being a completely heartless sinner vs mother is meant. to be interpreted and thought about!!!!#and i love hearing everybody talk about how they see her!!!!!!#obv im not a huge fan of people completely erasing her evil#but none of my mutuals have done that so thts not an issue#i think its very lovely to see her humanized. and not completely taken at the face value that she's presented as by teyvat#because not to be that guy. but that is PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!#no human is entirely evil#because to be human is to be MORE than that#its okay for rhine to be cruel and evil while still having some good intent and fostering love#god this pist is so random but ive felt so bad over this#guys i promise i love evrybodys interpreations and it is OKAY to like her a certain way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#rhine hcs#crepe/monards psa’s#crepe psa

I know I've already bitched about this but it's so frustrating that if it was just my glass cannon rogue, who was designed on purpose to get in over his head and be chewed up and spit out in combat, dying very badly over and over I'd be having fun
#LIKE. this isn't about 'oouuughh you're not allowed to hurt my little guy in the Guys Getting Hurt Game 🥺' like a whinerbaby#this is about the feeling of overwhelming futility as a PLAYER that apparently we're not even capable of leaving town without getting killed#intentionally knocking over an elaborate domino setup vs someone carelessly bumping the table with their ass and going 'oops 😰'#how are we supposed to plan our next moves or gauge what might be within our skillset if EVERYTHING is OUT of our skillset#if felix is getting bitten in half it should be because he's 44 inches tall and has +0 constitution and should stay out of melee but didn't#you know?#and on a less character-personal level if every little thing we do is a literal deadly encounter then how can we possibly raise the stakes#session three random wolf encounter is too hard for us to handle?? oh man if we try to engage with any kind of plot we're REALLY fucked huh!#so far-- in combat AND out of it-- the gameplay of this campaign has said repeatedly and resoundingly 'no you can't'#sucks. feels bad. can't find answers about the mysteries can't find a new plot hook can't set foot outside town without dying#well okay. cool adventure. I'm looking SO hard for stuff to engage with and the world just keeps telling me no#SIGH.#... anyway we're playing tomorrow lol yeehaw#we'll see....... what happens.#about me#my OCs#felix

It’s funny because dick not working on their no net trapeze act from birth is what one would logically expect from a modernization of the backstory, like beyond recent popular attitudes about what does/doesn’t count as child labor and exploitation, having your child be part of your family daredevil show is reckless child endangerment, but I do not give a fuck about that. Put the boy in the circus look at him go
#the elephant too like okay yes it’s animal cruelty#I think some people mentally live in a world where somehow Haley’s was The Good Curvus and the animals were somehow properly cared for#dicks elephant friend and dick both being somehow special induvuduals who thrive while being mistreated#yes it would be bad for anyone ELSE but Elanore the elephant just LIVES stagework she would be depressed in a nature preserve#I don’t think anyone else has thought this seriously about the elephant but i have not stopped#trying to decide if I feel schnaufrentute about this#so sorry TT put some stupid shit in your guys backstory you hate because you need him to be cool at the time or you fall apart or whatever#so you can’t handle seeing a child make a mistake#people wrote Jason as having killed someone.#dicks half sister who sucks and no one cares about Vs Jason’s life was orchestrated into misery by people who hate him FIGHT#honestly for as much as I hate and we all hate Joe chill was not a random act of violence it is the least worst one here

it's really cool when people treat your assigned sex at birth and by extension your rejection of it as a trans person as something VERY important that precludes you from understanding or speaking on certain experiences but ALSO treat any self-identification with said assigned sex as proof that you're not actually transgender. one must constantly remember that they were once female and can never understand what it was like to once be male or vice versa, but ALSO one must never actually refer to themself as female/male, or relate to females/males, or acknowledge that others may see them as female/male, or claim that issues generally applicable only to females/males affect them. but also one must not forget that whatever amount of time one spent as female/male, no matter how brief, is a fundamental and inescapable part of one's being that implies certain things about them no matter what.
#It also tends to intersect with this idea that since men are the Bad Evil Gender#Trans men need to atone for identifying as the Bad Gender but also trans women need to atone for having previously ' been ' the Bad Gender#Which is... sort of true? In that you should generally be aware of privileges you posses that you could be weaponizing#Like idk calling someone a bitch as a trans man vs as a cis woman may have a worse effect on that person#And if you grow up as a man you might be more likely to be taught shitty ideas#But that's all very... Individual. They can be GENERALLY true but going on around leveling such generalizations#As specific accusations at individual people simply because of their AGAB or current gender. Is dumb. And rude.#Same way me telling a random Christian person they hate Jews unprompted is weird. Even if they ARE more likely to do so bc of their bg#It's also just wildly unproductive because people don't tend to respond well to targeted and unfounded accusations of bigotry#Easier to internalize that for example ALL white people can develop shitty attitudes on race than that You did and it's Your fault#But generally people do this because it feels good to get mad at a random guy and not to genuinely convince said guy to not be a bigot
