Steph: No accidental kids.

Tim: Date someone your size and double your wardrobe.

Barbara: Being able to listen to really good music together cause of automatic good taste.

Jason: Not being straight.

people will complain with their whole entire chest about Ivy "just being Harley's girlfriend now" and you look up Ivy on their account and the only time they've spoken about her is to bitch about her dating a woman Harley under the guise of "missing the old ivy"

no y'all don't, shut up, we can see you. you've never given a shit about ivy. you don't care about her or how she's "not an eco-terrorist anymore" cause if you did care, you'd not be complaining rn 💀 but sorryyy that her essentially cannibalizing Woodrue in #6 isn't "fucked up in the head" or "villainous" enough for you, but lbr if her actions throughout the first 8 chapters of her 2022 comic aren't Bad enough, then I hate to break it to you but I think you actually just have a problem with gay people and Ivy openly being in love with a woman:)

and that's a skill issue. a you problem. get therapy, loser.

She's a Bicon 💗💜💙

[princess-of-the-corner]

Don't know the full details other then the parts that upset people so bear with me.

Jon got sent to the future, I believe his parents thought he was dead but like a week later he's back but he's a teenager and apparently was in the future. People didn't like this because Damien wasn't aged up as well so it kind of ended Super Sons.

After this Clark has to go do something or something and after a conversation Jon get's the Super-Man title. He's also gay which made certain people upset because all they heard was "Super Man's gay" and so they went ClArK kEnT cAn'T bE gAy WhAt AbOuT lOiS.

Oh that sounds like all kinds of bullshit.

Good for him with being gay tho.

How to read X-Men?

For the dear X-Men fans that came in through 97 (or the movies) and are confused as to where to start the comics! Don't let the internet fool you, there is only one way and it is by starting with Giant size X-Men #1 (1975). No I am not kidding, it truly is the only right way to get the full story😭 (unless you want to go ALL THE WAY to 1963, I don't necessarily think it's that vital)

This is me trying to keep ppl from making the same mistake I did, starting with wheadon's astonishing X-Men ☠️

Here is a very useful pic of what to read next 💞 good luck!

This is to get ALL the context and major story arcs still referenced today. So I believe it to be vital for the other eras. (I don't know how you can fully understand jean and Scott's relationship today without having read inferno or dark phoenix for example)

Now, If you just wanna read for one specific character, that's a different story! Character specific reading guides that concentrate on the important issues across time exist! Look for those they're very useful <3

hotd server looking for more writers !

hello ! i am here to find new rp partners to join our hotd centered 16+ discord server ! we have twelve members so far, each with multiple muses - canon and oc - from game of thrones, a song of ice and fire books and house of the dragon. our server is open for any kind of fantasy characters as long as they would fit in the theme. ( we even have a small group of tolkienverse, marvel & dc characters ) . besides the human muses, we have a lot of dragon ones - the only difference from the show is that they have the ability to shapeshift into a human form .

to make things easier, we do not accept doubles, but after communicating , you can possibly take over someone else's muse - a lot has been taken due to the lack of writers.

we write in brackets, such as : [ ] and lit, depending on what the writers prefer at the given moment . please mind that every writer has their personal writing style ! we base our characters on both the show and books, and of course, headcanons !

despite being 16+ , we have a nsfw access for anyone interested in such stuff as the majority of the writers are 18+

we are a lgbt+ safe space of course !

come join our server where you’re able to, bring as many ocs as you want, play around with your favorite canon characters, and be involved in a fun community full of people with various interests including the occasional gaming session !

anyone interested — please reply !

Bad LGBT rep and can we talk about it.

A pet peeve I have is when two characters of the same gender are tg/shipped/lgbt, and one of them is either feminised or masculinised beyond recognition. Like if you’re going to ship two men, who are canonically like fucking into football and beer or something of the sorts, and who are typical men or whatever, I swear it’s more of an interesting dynamic when you just leave them to be their actual selves- romance added. I’m not talking about when they’re canonically breaking gender roles btw, I’m talking about a canonically big buff guy being twinkified, or a canonically sweet, bubbly woman being shoved into a nonchalant butch persona.

Headcanons are completely fine don’t get me wrong, but can we stop this whole thing of characters who are gay becoming LGBT characters (whole selves are centred around sexuality and being the lgbt diversity in a show) instead of js a character who happens to be LGBT. Honestly it just makes the character seem like a bad diversity add in for the sole purpose of the producers being able to say “hey look! We’re not homophobic, xyz is gay/trans!”

Like for example, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, two women, in love, so cute, but they’re still their own characters apart from being openly queer, like you don’t look at them and go “oh it’s the lesbian couple in dc”, instead you go “oh that’s Harley, and that Ivy, and they happen to be together”. They’re well established characters, who happen to be in a queer relationship, and that’s what I think good representation is.

[imposterogers]

neither studios are perfect but as time goes on there are very visible differences between how the mcu and the dceu handle things. the mcu lets minor characters be queer (or blink and u miss it one liners to confirm it). harley quinn is bisexual in both the live action verse and in a canon wlw relationship w poison ivy in the animated series. peacemaker is bisexual. they are not the only lgbt+ characters (there’s literally so many I can’t make a list w/o forgetting a few) but they are MAIN characters and their sexuality influences their stories. dc uses a ton of practical effects / films on location. say what u will about james gunn (and whatever direction he takes dc) but he’s a major advocate for practical effects. marvel continuously puts actors in green screen hell (even props like guns r cgi) bc vfx workers aren’t unionized. dc (think the batman) let’s the actors influence the script and their characters. peacemaker is bisexual bc of john cena. paul dano is writing a comic series about the riddler. the mcu doesn’t let their actors read the full scripts or have any input

it is interesting to me bc yes, both studios exist to make money, but one is slowly being ruined by corporate homophobia & ideals (nuclear families, military propaganda, etc)

Round Two

Danny Fenton

"His only stable clone is of the opposite gender, he's hiding his identity from his parents, and a lot of other details people have compiled"

"That entire post about reasons why Danny is trans

Excerpts:

The main plot of the show can be read as a metaphor for being queer

Danny is the only boy who wears a shirt to the waterpark

There was a stable, female clone of him named Danni

One ghost attempted to touch his chest and he immediately and forcefully pulled back while seeming extremely uncomfortable"

Guy Gardener

"He is so transgender to me. He’s a trans man in my eyes. He’s canonically bad at naming things (cat named katt, replies 'good name' (serious) when told that they were calling a guy 'the weird' because all the readings on him are so weird, best code name he could come up with was 'warrior') so naming himself Guy is a natural fit. He gets alien shapeshifting/healing powers at one point which results in him being genuinely concerned when a teammate jokes about him possibly being pregnant. There’s also a comment about how 'even your voice has changed'. He overcompensates with his masculinity. In his main team (the justice league international) he mostly only gets acknowledged to be yelled at, sometimes because he deserved it, but sometimes because he’s taking up space (which will happen to trans mascs in lgbt spaces a lot) (and the whole jli is very queer coded so…). And in the post 2011 DC universe (New 52) most characters treat him in a hostile manner even though the reputation for crudeness he’d built in the 80s was retconned so he basically gets a negative reaction for no reason which again mirrors the trans masc experience in lgbt spaces. He’s also been subjected to two different genderbend storylines, a one shot in the 90s and an ongoing story in the 2010s."

"Many reasons - because I said so, because he is bad at naming things (names his cat 'Katt,' thinks 'The Weird' is a good name for a thing that is weird) so him coming out and naming himself 'Guy' is not that absurd (and its also really funny), his whole character predicates upon trying to meet masculine standards and also being criticized when he DOES meet those standards (very common experience amongst transmascs specifically), he also tends to seem to overcompensate his masculinity… um, which is also a common transmasc experience. He really likes being a man. Very transgender. But also I mean, I said so, so it's true."

[therealladylucifer]

Nobody mentions Jay or Bernard because they don’t have a personality outside of “boyfriend” bc DC thinks queer relationships can’t have depth outside of “uwuwwu cute boys in love” and it doesn’t help they’ve all only been written by straight people. Just because there is lgbt rep doesn’t mean it quality lgbt rep.

This is inaccurate Jay is pretty clearly outlined as a reporter who cares deeply about justice and his country of Gamorra. Granted I know less about Bernard because I haven't read Tim Drake: Robin but he's got a personality, too, which is specifically outlined in his interest in Gotham's vigilantes. In my opinion, people just aren't interested in getting to know Jay and Bernard as characters because they have their hearts set on Jon and Tim dating Dami and Kon (respectively) and aren't interested in getting to know these new characters.

(By the way, I do want to say that I have nothing against Timkon or Jondami. I think they're perfectly fine ships and I don't dislike them at all. I just think it's a little annoying that there are so many fans of Timkon and Jondami and no one talks about their actual, canonical boyfriends.)

[theblognameistaken]

I never really shipped anyone with Damian, except for Jon (which I'm skeptical of it) but with the DC messing Jon up by aging him. And Jon has a boyfriend now (good for him) it's rare to see a canon good LGBT presentation centered around the comics, that's why I love Ivy and Harley. Raven and Damian ship makes me icky due to the age gap...

Seeing Damian with Nika, I actually grew to love it, mostly because of the fandom nurturing it. It's so refreshing to see the DC comics doing well at Damian's character for once... I hope there is no writer who kills Flatline, because I swear to god— I will lose my mind.

Ranking DC Pride 2023

9. Love’s Lightning Heart (???, ???)

Starring The Flashlight and The Flash, I think? When he called the dude “Ray” in the beginning I thought it was gonna be The Ray, you know? This only scores so low because I’m not at ALL familiar with anything Multiversity and this story especially seemed to be absolutely thick with that corner of DC lore. I get there’s a Parallax type of thing happening but... this was kind of hard to follow for a payoff that’s pretty lukewarm if you’re not well-versed in who this story’s about.

8. My Best Bet (Jon Kent/Superman, John Constantine

This is hit especially hard in my ranking because it’s the last story in the book and the only thing DC Pride about it is that it stars two Bs. They’re popular queer characters but I’m here for stories that are specifically ABOUT LGBT stuff, not about LGBT people doing stuff. There’s nothing to really talk about here.

7. Found (Xanthe Zhou, Batwoman/Kate Kane)

I’ve been meaning to read Spirit World, and since I hadn’t gotten around to it Xanthe being LGBT was a surprise to me, but not as much as Kate Kane showing up was. It feels like someone threw a dartboard at WLW women and plopped in whoever came up, cuz I guarantee if I flip the newest Batwoman issue open to a random page she’ll have a girlfriend-slash-situationship that won’t be too happy about her seeming receptive to some flirting. But hey, I like Xanthe more now so there’s give-and-take.

6. And Baby Makes Three (Xiomara Rojas/Crush, Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn, Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy)

I like Crush. I can’t claim to have read much of her, because for now that means enduring way too much Damian Wayne, but she seems like an incredibly interesting character. But I could not tell you why she’s here with Harley and Ivy. This, moreso than anything else, has a less than negative chance of being referenced again and it’s giving me even more of that dartboard feeling the last story did. Plus if there’s one thing Harlivy can do, it’s carry a story by themselves. I wish we’d gotten something about JUST Crush, is what I’m saying. I feel like this was a status update for Crush, like her washing ashore was meant to bridge the gap between this story and whatever she was doing the last time she showed up.

5. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work (Natasha Irons/Steel, Nubia)

Listen, I will always have space in my heart for the Irons family. I love Natasha, and I love John Henry, and when DC lets either out of the ether every other year I’m front and center. That, and the recent super-push Nubia has been enjoying made this story one I was pretty excited to read when I realized who it was about. But THIS ART. These faces are TRASH. Even without looking it up I feel like there’s a 0% chance DC would give a nonblack artist this story, so it makes it especially confusing as to why the characters look like THAT. The actual content was fun and even though Io needs to come up off our queen posthaste, I didn’t have any (other) complaints. But it’s SOOOOO UGLYYYYY.

4. The Dance ( Minhkhoa Khan/Ghost-Makes, Thomas Blake/Catman)

I knew Ghost-Maker was bi prior to reading this, somehow. I’ve been meaning to read anything about him because his design is so awesome but I was only really guessing this was Catman alongside him. I really don’t know anything about him, so this ranks so highly just because of Ghost-Maker. I don’t really have anything else to add here since this story’s ultimate purpose seems to just show off muscley dudes post-sex.

3. Anniversary (Lucas Trent/Midnighter, Andrew Pulaski/Apollo, Alan Scott/Green Lantern)

These showcases tend to have like, one story that directly addresses inequality if you’re lucky. This is that story, and it’s such a good one. Midnighter and Apollo’s fame as the canon gay Superbat sort of eclipses anything else about them, but that reputation is put to excellent effect here. Plus, Alan Scott, one of my favorite Green Lanterns, finally shows up. Revitalizing that old slogan to make it clear the LGBT isn’t going anywhere was fun, too.

2. Subspace Transmission (Jules Jourdain/Circuit Breaker, Jess Chambers/The Flash, Andy Curry/Aquawoman)

Jess was an extremely fun and memorable character from the start like, half a decade ago and that holds true here. I was super uninvested in the Circuit Breaker part of this story. I don’t know who that is, and even after reading this I genuinely don’t care. This made my heart hurt for more Teen Justice and Future State stuff in general. That Jackson Hyde cameo at the end was also perfect.

1. Hey, Stranger (Connor Hawke/Hawke, Tim Drake/Robin)

I was definitely in diapers the last time these two characters spoke to each other. When there’s been THAT big a gap in timeframe I can’t be sure how emotional a reunion can be to a modern readership. None of that matters to my enjoyment, because Connor Hawke is far and away my favorite Arrowfam member and his recent resurgence (even if too much of it is attached to Damian Wayne for my taste) has been such a blessing. DC only trots this guy out three times a year but god do we eat good each time. They just need to do a LITTLE more with him.
