for no reason other than I don't see this point being discussed: if you are of the mind that people should curate their own space, ignore what they're not into and mind their own business (a good practice to have online), that also means it is incredibly unfair and immature to throw shade at people who do make the effort to stay in their lane

"but why are you at the ___ store if you're repulsed by ___" One you are not owed an explanation for why someone is not into something, just as they aren't owed your explanation for why you are into that thing. and Two, just because the thing they like might have text/subtext about a subject they don't like, that doesn't mean they should be forced to center their interest on that specific subject.

of course it's uncool to go after people for exploring anything in fiction, especially if that is a major theme of the work. however most pieces of fiction tend to be about several things. maybe they would rather focus on other themes, maybe it's just the specific way it is treated in a certain context that sets them off. hell maybe they would rather imagine a version of that work where That Subject is not a part of the story at all. but that's as much their right to do in their own free time as it is for you to get into the darker parts of a story.

idk i hope the point i'm getting across here is it goes both ways. you do you, but you're not entitled to other people's space if they don't want to engage with that. that doesn't make them "cowards", they are doing exactly what you told them to do.

I find it a bit concerning why there's people in the fandom that write Frank Morrison as a rapist just because he's a "bad boy" type of person

bruce and dick got some emotional incest going on

hmmm not sure i quite agree anon! i can see where that might be the case, as even i tend to harp on those co-dependency these two display sometimes, but i don't think emotional incest is what is going on there. for those that do not know what this term means, emotional incest is when a parent or primary caregiver begins to rely on their child like they would a partner for their emotional needs. it does not involve any sexual or physical intimacy, as that would be sexual abuse. while i do think what bruce and dick shared was something close to toxic, it was also how they in general functioned? idk that doesn't make sense. i'll put it like this- bruce never thought to rely on dick for emotional needs. in fact, i would argue he tried not to rely on anyone for his emotional well being, and this is what causes most of the divides and troubles in his life. however, dick being a naturally perceptive person, recognized how closed off bruce is/was, and took it upon himself to try and get bruce to open up more and be emotionally present instead of constantly shutting down and shoving people away. the whole "child of an alcoholic" sums it up neatly, imo, bc bruce never intentionally relied on or even asked for dick to help solve his problems. a lot of the bumps in their relationship came from the fact that he felt dick was getting too close or wanted to help bruce too much, which not only frightened bruce but i think also made him aware of how much he couldn't do without the help of dick pointing things out to him

emotional incest isn't quite the right term to describe them, imo, and i think when you get into a space where ppl are constantly talking about it and implying that sort of thing, it's easy to be convinced that that is what they have. it's important, however, to also look at how bruce and dick are doing currently/in the past current canon/past the batman and robin dynamic. one of the long-term affects of being in an emotionally incestuous relationship is being unable to set boundaries or even recognize what a normal relationship with others is like, and with the added context of this being a superhero/vigilante world, i would argue that they are both doing just fine without each other. obviously we have to account for the sheer number of times they've been in life or death situations and whatnot, but i think dick functions quite well on his own and with the others in his life, and bruce does, too. both are mentally ill, i think, but they are also coping pretty well imo

Me, walking out of the cinema after watching Frozen Empire: Well that was terrible and forgettable and disappointing and I didn't like it at all.

Me, over a month later: I have LITERALLY not thought of anything but Phoebe and Melody and the other silly little characters in this film for like five weeks straight it's becoming a slight problem- What? Oh yeah, I didn't like the film at all. anyway here's my Checkmatch playlist and all the fanfic I've read-

[br1ghtestlight]

trying to look for fandom character analysis content or at least JOKES and GIFS in a fandom that's literally 95% y/n fanfics/prompts or thirsting after the same 3 characters is literally worse than being trapped in hell I DONT CARE IF HES A SUB OR DOM IF U DONT ANALYZE THEIR PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS RIGHT NOW SOMEBODY IS GETTING THE BULLET 🔫🔫
