Batman #149 by chip zdarsky is mostly unremarkable, but I'm really fascinated by how it makes a great case for 'good' endings not saving 'bad' stories*. Because there's a lot of interesting concepts in this issue (bruce having to deal with his rapidly aging and decaying clone making him think about his own life, re-establishing a 'nest' so to speak for his family after pushing them away, etc) but bc of the OOC slog that came before it, almost every moment w/ the batfamily comes off as unearned and disingenuous imo.
Like, everything with Damian is the perfect example in this. Because in isolation it's...fine. admittedly it's a missed opportunity to not go deeper into how Damian would feel about a clone of his dad who tried to kill considering Damian's relationships with clones of himself (the heretic rejects and respawn) or with former enemies who wanted him dead but who were manipulated and/or brainwashed (like suren and maya).
Zdarsky doesn't go into any of this but you could maybe excuse it as the issue not being about Damian. However, coupled with the previous bizarre characterizations of Damian in 147 and 148, it ends up not being fine- instead it starts to feel...icky how Damian (who, despite often being drawn and written as white, will never have his connection to the non-white al ghuls forgotten and will always be effected by racism even when not portrayed as a poc) is constantly written as overly violent, uncaring and narrow minded in this run. Coupled w/ trying to recanonize the morrison origin for Damian it's like. OH this is badly written and laden with subtle bigotry, sick**
That's me going into detail on it with Damian but it's applicable to other things in this issue- the way Cass, Steph and Duke have all been ignored or turned into jobbers makes their inclusion in the 'family' here feel hollow instead of satisfying. Bruce proclaiming that Zur was still a part of him and he needs to accept responsibility for his actions (when it means taking in clone son) wrings hollow when just last issue zdarsky was bending over backwards to separate Bruce and Zur bc otherwise the Jason thing would get really awkward. Ends are achieved through means that feel hollow or strange. I'm at my destination but damn why'd the bus have to do all that???
I only really have opinions on this latest arc of zdarskys Batman bc it's the one I've read the closest (bc I'm a hater, masochist and avid follower of even the bad damian storylines) but it's not saying great things.
Bc zdarsky can do one thing good in this book, and it's write Bruce and Tim. And yet this entire story, whether of his own volition or editorial mandate, includes other characters who aren't Bruce and Tim, the fabric starts to unravel in very telling ways.
(p.s, I think pennyworth manor is an interesting idea but I feel like in execution it's just gonna be 'bruce living in a house haunted by the memory of the people he couldn't save' but with a different dead guy this time. Illusion of change and whatnot)
*whether or not the ending is good is up to you ofc, as is your opinion on the proceeding arc! I saw some ppl complain that the ending was too "WFA" for them, which I get even if I dont think it'll literally be the same premise. If anything it's probably a lead into the new tec run. Likewise many ppl who aren't in the weeds of Damian and Jason characterization liked the previous arc! But I have my opinions and rest my case before the bench
**disclaimer, I'm white and portrayals of bigotry in comics are complicated and subjective, but I am basing my point here off what other poc comic fans on socmed have been saying about 149. Also the "sick" is sarcasm incase that wasn't obvious
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#dc#damian wayne#bruce wayne#uhhh. not gonna tag the others i dont have time#batman#idk if the zdarsky series has its own tag#anyway yeah. i saw some interesting discussions surrounding 149 and it got me thinking#the experience of reading the issue is inoffensive until i remember how we got here and then all of a sudden i start to feel downright evil#the bruce/zur separation thing pisses me off so bad. MOTHERFUCKER YOU WERE JUST SAYING LAST ISSUE THAT NONE OF IT WAS HIM#and maybe we were meant to agree w Bruce and not Jason in that issue but if that's the case. piss poor job demonstrating it#Bruce never really faces like. interpersonal consequences from the family that last beyond an issue#which is WILD considering the shit he pulled back before they knew he was having a menty b (mental breakdown for those who dont know)#the damian thing is just like. its such clear author bias in ways both lowkey funny and also. not funny. at all#i know a lot of ppl on here didnt vibe w/ batman and robin by joshua williamson but like#i cannot stress enough how he was one of the ONLY ppl in damians corner and now hes leaving that series#he says he approves of the new creative teams assigned but also they're his coworkers. so i dont trust SHIT until its in my hands#anyway one day I'll give a more good faith reading of zdarskys Batman and i do wanna read his daredevil some day#but as it stands he suffers from terminal ''has seemingly never read a comic not abt my special white boys and refuses to try''#which means everyone is going to have to suffer through my haterism#also sorry for no images. i really want to but i just don't have the wherewithal to do alt text rn

giving up being masc in 2024 i can’t handle everyone and their mother deciding they can say whatever unhinged shit their repressed horny brains are saying abt me it’s too much i’m retiring from serving butch realness cause these bitches can’t handle it
#personal#literally what kind of person would look you in the eyes and say#IN FRONT OF MULTIPLE COWORKERS#that she’s talked to her therapist about you because she loves her husband but she keeps thinking about me#AND ALSO?????#that she would have fucked you in a public work space AT WORK WHERE YOU BOTH WORK#ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS AND COWORKERS#with zero prior conversations that would possibly encourage or approve of any of it being said ever#anyways i just really wish i could exist without this shit happening and the fact that shit like this has happened multiple times is horrid#just let masc ppl exist without being fucking creeps maybe#this is all made worse by the fact that up until this incident she was literally referred to by herself and others as one of my ‘work moms’

lmfao i think i've had someone text or call me on all but one (1) of my days off so far asking me to come in & work, and i have never once said yes.
"are you available to come in today?" no, my days off are already so intermittent & unpredictable that when i'm not scheduled to work in advance, that time fills up quickly & you can't have it.
"where are you? we need you!" at home sleeping in cuz i turned in a leave slip & this time off was approved last week, check your records.
"we had some call outs & your position gets first dibs on overtime! you want it?" you phrase that as if it's some kind of privilege. i already rack up enough overtime working the 6 full days a week you schedule me for every week, no thanks.
#ctxt#charlie vs mail#i genuinely enjoy the work i do so much but the hours are unrelenting#i am learning very quickly that the postal service is extremely & chronically understaffed#and that if you give management an inch they'll take a mile#fortunately there's a lot of solidarity & closing of ranks among my coworkers. we all know nobody's got our backs but each other#and i've done my time (plenty of it) both in management myself & wrangling HR into compliance#so i know what rights i'm entitled to & do everything by the book w/ written documentation to make myself v hard to fuck over#during the time i am scheduled to work i will be there working to the best of my ability. i'm dependable & genuinely wanna be doing this#however i will NOT set precedent that i'm available at their beck & call to cover their poor staffing during my scheduled/approved time off#politely & firmly parrying their every attempt to pry their fingers into my one wild & precious life 🤺🙂↔️

On one hand, friends exploring their gender is a cool and joyful thing, on the other every time it makes the "cis person who geuinely sees me as a man not an oddity they gotta play along with to be nice (or even bc they care)" goes back to being my white whale.
#especially my craving for cis guys to see me as one of them despite myself like damn#like idk more of us is worth more than cis approval but it also makes it feel more hopeless I'll ever be comfortable around cis ppl#which is to say my coworkers my family my uni classmates ppl i cant just avoid

brutally reminded that somewhere out there is a physical copy of an absolutely terrible detective conan genderbend au i wrote when i was like 12
i am not thriving today so here's a tag rant
#i haven't thought about that in YEARS but i'm realizing i do NOT remember trashing the notebook it was in#and it may be at my mom's house#hopefully completely untouched because she got so madddddd when she saw any of my non-school writing as a kid#i may have to sneak off to find and burn it with extreme prejudice next time i'm visiting her#(also your skyler lore of the day: i turned fully anti-religion for myself once my mom started telling me jesus wouldn't approve of my fics#(keep in mind that these were 100% G-rated like i didn't know what any cool teen or adult stuff even WAS yet)#also someone at work got me SICK and i am NOT giving up another writing day this week#so fever-addled me may be about to write several thousand terrible words#but future me can edit that so it's f i n e#ALSO ALSO#tw sa mention in remaining tags!#i stopped on my way home from my trip and jesus fuck you wanna know where i randomly ended up?#8 miles from my rapist's current address#and i ran into 3 of his coworkers in the 30 minutes i took to get lunch#what a terribly small world#(yes i know i should not keep tabs on him but it makes me feel safe to be sure of where he is so stfu on that)

Getting up at 5.45 tomorrow to go to a work seminar in Manchester at 9 to hopefully get back home for around 6.30 so I have time to make it to Leicester so I can go cinema with my mum and watch the Edward Scissorhands ballet broadcast at 7 so I can get back home for probably around 11pm so I can go to bed and get up for work again the next day at 6.55
#Originally I was meant to be going on my own so I was gonna get the train up tonight and stop overnight#But then they say oh this coworker is going also :) and he can drive so you can both take the pool car :)#And he hates to be away from home so we just going to Manchester and back in a fucking day and doing a days work in the process#I'm gonna have to rack up about £70 in taxi fees and honestly I'm not even sure they'll approve the second taxi#Cuz that'll be from his home to Leicester which is like double the distance than my home#Which is really annoying cuz otherwise I could've got the bus for £2#God it's gonna be like 5-7 hours in transit tomorrow depending on traffic#I'm gonna be really annoyed if I miss the showing as well cuz that was planned in before the seminar#Oh and I don't get overtime so there's not really any way I can claim back those hours spent in travel#On god I need the financial stability to go down to 4 days a week 😭😭😭😭

In real life news I, and several coworkers got to be a lab rat for a seemingly new gift card scam.
Guy come in, grab visa gift cards, ask for $250 each specifically to be put on them, and they pay with a very suspicious looking credit card that processes very slowly, then bam, gift card "paid" for. I was suspicious of this already, but then I look over at my coworker a few registers away and she also had some guy ask for $250 on a gift card, told a coworker about it and he says someone did the same thing at self checkout yesterday, $250 again, and also had a slow processing time, and not too long ago another coworker had the same thing happen at self checkout and messaged us about it. I'm not sure how this scam works but, this is the first time I've seen something like it
#when it happened to me the manager approved it. but not before looking at the payment card and it looked suspicious#a random render of mickey mouse on a red background. a Chase logo but kinda lower than where uts supposed to be#and had no numbers on it except for a 10 written on the back#my coworkers didn't pay attention to the payment cards but I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't all that different

Tomorrow we start random whiteboard questions >:)
I just made a quick list because I almost forgot. I will be pulling inspiration from Tumblr, because we ask each other all kinds of random stuff. Both in the polls and for tag games.
#{domino talks}#ooooohh what if i did a bracket poll like who would win in a fight#heheh i am definitely going to do that later on#my boss is so validating like “yes i will give you this space to be absolutely chaotic [within reason]”#and my coworkers are like “yeah i can get on board with this let's do it”#this will now be the thing motivating me to go to work#“what makes you motivated to go to work in the morning”#“asking my coworkers what they're going to jail for”#oh we can do fill in the blanks too like apples to apples (we're at work after all)#this is just giving me so much joy#i really can't wait to do the fight brackets 😶🌫️ if my boss approves it#“fight” maybe we'll call it “rock paper scissors” to avoid any potential issues#i need to go to bed but like i said i almost forgot i need to have a question#it is expected of me and i must exceed the expectations
