#fuck David’s dad

David :)

(Haha what episode 106??? Idk what you’re talking about, nothing even happened /s)

[bisexualchaosdemon]

Sometimes, I think about the fact that Wymack is Kevin's dad, and I want to weep. He dedicated his entire life to helping others who had grown up like he had, only to find out that his own son had grown up a caged and abused wreck? That's a level of pain that I can't even fathom.

If they had just given in after fucking Jet Lag everyone’s lives would have been so much easier and I wouldn’t be reading Tiva fanfiction in 2025.

THERE 👏 ARE 👏 OTHER 👏 ROCK 👏 OPERAS 👏 BESIDES 👏 AMERICAN 👏 IDIOT 👏AND 👏THE 👏 BLACK 👏 PARADE 👏

This might be on the outer edges of the 'rock' part of a rock opera, but I need people to listen to Janelle Monáe's Metropolis series of concept EPs and eventually her debut album The ArchAndroid, some with dystopian themes of being a robot that falls out of line, in love and starts thinking for itself, and others about being a saviour alien, that was awesome.

Also, Canadian rock band Fucked Up had a great rock opera called David Comes To Life in 2011 that was great.

(If not 'rock', I don't know what else to call Fucked Up lol, they started out as definitely hardcore punks, but they've done so much other interesting work since then that can't really be called punk)

Also obligatory reminder that 'rock opera' =/= 'rock musical'

(That said, I found Quadrophenia on vinyl at a uni sale for $5, which was kinda nice)

The idea that goes around that Bruce saw Cass as a soldier in Batgirl (2000) makes no sense because he shows multiple times that he cares deeply about her. Did y'all forget all the fucking dialogues in the comics showing just that? Did you miss Bruce going through his usual "OMG I'm a terrible father I don't deserve to be in her life, I only bring her misery!" thinking? Like, he's clearly not helping her having a normal life, he is teaching her to be like him, to be dedicated body and soul to the mission, and it's not great, but it's not seeing her as a soldier, more like a second mini him. The most hurtful thing he did to Cass, in Cass' eyes, was trying to give her a normal life and stop her from being Batgirl, which Barbara agreed on. Like, can we stop saying Bruce views his kids as soldiers because he trains them, has expectations for them to be good people and let them fight crimes, while having difficulties with his emotions and communications? The principle of a soldier is that they are meant to be easily replaceable, but he cares about his kids, and they want to be doing this shit! They hate when he tries to make them have a normal life because he is scared they are hurting!

"I thought Cassandra was just like me."

"Maybe being Batgirl is doing her more harm than good. She grew up surrounded by violence and brutality. And all I've done is to surround her with violence again."

"He just wants you [...] to be happy."

"He's worried that being Batgirl is bad for you... That the constant exposure to violence and evil was preventing you from healing the emotional harm you suffered as a child."

"He just worries about you, my dear. He doesn't want you to get hurt."

"I know for a fact that Master Bruce is immeasurably proud of you-- and grateful for all that you've done."

me when they make my sadwetpathetic character sad, wet, and pathetic:

[losver07]

my dad (professional nerd & screenwriter): you see, she is actually the main character here, since the whole movie was a phantasy that she made up in her mind, and you can sense her presence throughout the whole film without noticing it; for example, all the times they say "there is no band," what they're telling you (and she is telling herself) is this is not real, you're actually watching something that's imagined. that's why the characters start crying, because trough the music they subconsciously understood that their world was fake, made up, that they were not actually there and none of that was happening

me: lol yay depressed lesbians
