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

The thing about Chris going to Texas is that if he called ANYONE other than Eddie's parents , he would already be back home and talked about it and forgiven his father . If he TOLD Eddie that he didn't want to stay there in their house anymore because he was still really upset with him then Eddie would've been like okay I love you , we can call Tia Pepa or Abuela or Buck or even Bobby and you can stay with any of them for however long you need . I'm not blaming Chris or anything like I understand what and why he wanted to leave , that is a very weird and upsetting and even traumatic thing to come home and see your own father almost kissing a woman who looked exactly like your dead mother but I think he could've still stayed in L.A. to process it all .

He called Eddie's parents , his grandparents cause he could've KNOWN they always wanted him to stay with them , he could've known that they were always gonna drop everything to come GET him , [ and he probably just wanted to get as far away as he could I totally get that , especially as a teenager lol ] and thats a bad thing , in my opinion . I mean like again I don't blame Christopher or anything , that seemed like the best option that he wanted and thats okay and valid but it's quite literally been in the narrative from the first second we saw Eddie's parents that they have ALWAYS wanted to take Chris away from him , they have always thought that he was an incompetent parent and that it was gonna ruin / blow up his life and I just really hope we get to see that storyline and conversation finally get closure because THAT is messed up . Eddie needs to tell them that , he needs to tell them to back off and that they've always gotten into his head about his own parenting and that it's made him feel small and useless and that he's been grieving his youth and Shannon's life AND death for most of his life because of it and the way they've always belittled his choices and decisions . Eddie deserves that closure and Chris deserves to understand and I just hope they come out of it closer than ever . Eddie deserves his little boy back and Chris deserves to forgive his father

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

Do you have a fav blush? Do you like cream, powder, or liquid blushes?

ok so my favorite right now is the colorpop blush stick in cottage life it is a wonderful like. terracotta orange that looks super natural on me. so awesome. also super super blendable it blends out so easy... also used the elf putty blushes and those are good, i have two of the like. orangey shades (<— orange blush enjoyer) (checked. i have bahamas and one that doesn't have a shade name but i'm p sure is turks and caicos) and they're rlly nicely blendable and buildable with good color payoff :) other than that i have the nyx sweet cheeks one that's like. a tube. in coralicious and that's also a good one that's rlly colorful! i have to put that one on the back of my hand before i use a brush to apply it though which Is a little more of an inconvenience so. y'know. it also looks like my sunburn shade in the summer so i have mixed feelings on wearing it then haha. i would say a cream blush is probably my fave? powder blushes are delightful obvi but in terms of what i actually wear day to day the cream ones (i think the elf ones are cream to powder. but y'know) are more realistic. liquid ones are cool but they are often just too pigmented for me... would never use the rare beauty ones cause i just don't need that much color and if i did i would just layer up more of the ones that i can use for more natural looks

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...
