Dick: And nope means nope like you said

Bruce (sobbing)

Image Description:

Panel one: a young (robin) Dick Grayson and Batman are standing there, Bruce leans over and says “Dick…chum…where are your pants”, to which Dick says “Nope!” A giant shit eating grin on his face

Panel two: Robin and Batman, Robin has his hands in the air and looks excited, Batman, with the cowl on, breaking the forth wall while Jim Gordon in the very background says “Put some pants on that kid Batman.”

kicking the hornets nest but all the responses from people on tumblr of "everybody needs to whisper and be as quiet and invisible as possible on public transit" have really crystallized how and why white people call the cops on black women talking to each other on the train

Im pretty sure I just overheard a girl who plans to vote for Trump say, "Trump's been president for 4 years and nothing happened....."

Girl... you do know that it takes a few YEARS for us to see the effects of policies put into place by a president like...

Trump started removing policies that helped guarantee consumer and worker safety, and we JUST NOW felt the effects through the listeria outbreak.

PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH PLEASE.

I'm fucking terrified. We either get one of the biggest acts of domestic terrorism to date, or we get 4 years of what could become a tyrannical dictatorship, which removes ALL OF THE RIGHTS WE FOUGHT HARD TO GET!

can i speak. i think that eddie Catholic Guilt is hard to believe and dare i say. not real. for many reasons. one of them being Not All Latinos Have Catholic Guilt especially not in the way that white catholics conceptualize it. and TO ME it’s a bit of a cop out . and i don’t think we should believe eddie when he says that’s the reason for literally anything bc it’s a really convenient excuse for being insane and repressed but i just don’t think it’s true . and i think that something much more nuanced is afoot (aka a complex racial identity and relationship with expectation).

to me he was really like. barely raised catholic tbh. he was raised AROUND folk/cultural catholicism which ofc impacted how he was raised and his perspective. but this kind of catholicism is so different from institutionalized (and white) catholicism it's difficult to even compare the two. and i honestly don’t think that the catholicism is the main problem. like his parents just don’t strike me as being devout in the way that imparts guilt onto their children (they have fun OTHER ways to do this). i think they are traditional and crucially. catholic when it’s convenient and when it allows them an avenue for control (biggest example here is eddie getting pressured into getting married to the girl he impregnated as a teenager.) but to me. this stemmed from complex cultural traditions and beliefs. which catholicism is an easy simple explanation for . but isn’t really the root of the problem. it's a part of it ofc but honestly i think things are often ascribed solely to catholicism bc catholic guilt is a widely applicable perspective when it honestly doesn't make much sense. like i think that eddie being a mixed race mexican-american has more to do with anything than catholicism does. and again. these things are interwoven. but not in a way that it makes sense to blame capital c Catholicism for things where culture (and cultural catholicism) makes way more sense as an explanation

like ik that eddie talks about how he was raised going to mass every sunday etc etc. but even the way he says that he just... stopped... says so much. like the fact that he was even allowed to do that tells me that his parents honestly never really cared that much about that kind of devotion. and the way he talks about it really makes it sound to me like he was one of those kids that never really bought into it at all and so the institutionalized teachings of the church never really got to him. what did get to him however is the folk catholicism/mexican-american teachings of Right and Wrong (aka you get somebody pregnant you commit to them. you feel emotions you tamp them down in order to protect others etc.) and this is not necessarily Catholicism in it's classic conception.

i have no idea if this makes sense and it is really hard to explain how this interplay works if you haven't grown up in it but basically.... hegemonic constructions of catholicism are vastly different from the kind of "catholicism" that i think eddie was raised in. and bc of that i think that "catholic guilt" is a weak explanation for eddie's perspective and best and just. inaccurate at worst. and we should NEVERRRR listen to eddie when he gives too clean of an explanation for his repression. that man is a liar

i genuinely think i might kill myself

[dykeofmisfortune]

the thing about having a radical butchformation (like transformation but. butch.) is that people are starting to perceive me as a trans man and someone at the coffee shop i go to told me that they respect the LGBT but that boys trying to be girls and girls trying to be boys is too far and then she added that i'll always be a girl no matter what. like thanks? but also kill yourself

Enemy-viv for your free blocklist. Cyberstalking, misgendering, and literally transvestigating Aaron Bushnell, the man who self-immolated to protest genocide, because White Queer People cannot fucking show solidarity or care about anyone or anything unless they think they can relate personally.

Aaron Bushnell signed his pronouns as he/him in his message to the press. Twisting the conversation away from his sacrifice for Palestine to protest the active fucking genocide so you can cyberstalk him and misgender him and speculate about him secretly being trans as though he's a fictional character and not a real fucking person who made the ultimate sacrifice to try and stop genocide is fucking evil.

There is something deeply, morally wrong with you you cannot fucking bring yourself give a single shit about someone who publically sacrificed his life in protest of genocide unless you think you have something to gain by it by projecting a Queer identity onto him like he's your new favorite blorbo and not a fucking real person who died to protest genocide.

Stop fucking distracting the conversation away from the literal genocide he was protesting. Stop literally fucking transvestigating people. Learn to fucking care about people even when they have no Queer identity in common with you. What the fuck is wrong with you people.

i loved the write abt a reader w a small chest ! what abt a reader with like a bigger chest. like DD/E breasts ?

Thanks sm!!!

Sorry love bug, my requests are closed!

And honestly, I wrote from my perspective. I don’t have breasts like that, and I know I can’t do them justice. I wanted to write for women that have small, flat chests because I can relate to them and wanted to give them something just for them, and unapologetically in love with small breasts without feeling they have to compensate with something else to make up for a lack of tits. I was tired of people telling me my body isn’t good enough, and I want to focus on women that have non beauty standard features.

I don’t feel right writing for women with large chests because I don’t know that experience and can’t honor them the way someone who is living that experience might!

That’s all, lots of love ♥️

I was at an event recently celebrating the works of bipoc writers & something one of the speakers said stuck with me... they mentioned that so often we expect stories by bipoc writers to centre a culture/issue in order to "teach" something (usually to white readers) & this is something I've been talking about on and off for years... idk how to explain to white writers what it feels like to know that at least in this larger canon we call the publishing industry, bipoc voices *have* been "let in" (generalization) but mostly in a very specific way & with a specific purpose. the things I've been told/that I've learned... the way there truly is an expectation to "use my voice"--to do what? can my voice as a racialized writer not just... do what I want it to? is my voice not valuable if I don't "represent" myself? I LOVE seeing books that uplift & represent marginalized communities, that's not at all my issue, howeverrrr I don't like knowing that's the expectation of what I write just because of my skin. it makes navigating publishing even harder & honestly most of the time I feel doomed!! I'm relieved to hear more bipoc writers/publishing professionals talk about that because it's something I've silently been grappling with for years... I just want to write whatever I want to write & idk how to explain how isolating it is to know in the eyes of the current canon, it's bizarre that I'm not capitalizing on *my life* to make a literary impact...

SOME fans of dungeon meshi on TikTok make me feel like they only consumed the show through clips of it appearing on their feed like it's Young Sheldon.

I'm not trying to knock anyone down here if that's how they got into it cause that's how I sure did but when I like something I actively try to consume all that it offers before I start saying stuff in posts I make about it, so it's just disappointing and honestly frustrating seeing that SOME fans of the show don't do the same which just leads to either pointless posts about small issues that have gotten explained multiple times over or just downright villainizing or babying certain characters despite most characters in this series being obvious flawed individuals who have complex feelings throughout.

Once again it's just deeply frustrating and I'm really not trying to single out TikTok here as it's an issue I've noticed not just on there it's just the most loud on that app especially in fandom spaces sadly from my experience.

On both a watsonian and doylist level Dick Grayson is white passing

[delightfullyodd]

What do you think of a notion that people from majority shouldn't write people from marginalized communities?

[skinks]

Ñíbrahge. 

Hm?

Ñíbrahge. Means water that’s flat. It’s Otoe.

Yeah, Nebraska. Like I said.

Ñíbrahge.
