Applewhite Senior was a conservative Presbyterian minister in Texas, and by all reports conservative Presbyterian ministers in Texas in the mid-twentieth century – in fact quite a lot of people in Texas in the mid-twentieth century – had reasonably strong views regarding homosexual and bisexual people, so Marshall grew up, got married, had children, and kept his bisexuality as secret as possible.

i am probably never going to get very into dc comics stuff but if i did i would probably end up thinking way too much about Batman and Joker being soulmates.

No words. Only flailing + heavy breathing.

it's like, you gotta fuckin question those underlying motherfucking frameworks!!! like yeah good you expanded your understanding of gender from recognizing people in binary terms to also recognizing people as potentially not-a-man-and-not-a-woman but you never fucking sat back and thought about why you're making snap assumptions as to someone's gender based on their physical appearance!!! about why you're conflating appearance with gender even in the first place!!! about how this is just appearance/gender policing but with a New And Improved Third Extra Category!!!

you grow up hearing homosexuality is Bad and then later on decide that no actually homosexuality is no worse/better/different than heterosexuality but you never fucking asked those fundamental questions like why are we freaking out about consensual sex and who's business is this really and what role(s) does/do sex play for humans socially and who the hell is being benefited by us edging (snrk) around discussing sex and now you think that kink is evil.

and for some reason that one is so much easier for people to see than with gender but like

holy fucking shit batman, there are people that "look cis" and "act cis" that are non-binary, and there are people that "look trans" or "act trans" that fucking aren't! that's the entire point!! being gender non-conforming might not be someone's gender!!! like where the hell are you getting lost!!!??

The fact that some of you, even and especially other lgbt folks, will literally treat gnc people like we’re some sort of thing to marvel and gawk at.

I spent over a decade presenting gc and the minute I started dressing masculine I was the weirdo to look at and point out as Different. Straight people are obviously going to stare and ask if I’m a boy or a girl or say me things like “are you a they” but do you really truly think it’s any different when I’m meeting a group of lgbt people and they literally only ask me my pronouns? Do you think I don’t notice when you forcibly they/them me (someone who doesn’t even prefer those pronouns!) and she/her my feminine presenting wife who ACTUALLY uses they/them?

It’s like you guys never got past the stage of “oh trans people look different than us normals” but instead of being a normal bigot about it youre applying a fake progressive ideal and making me feel worse in the fucking long run! I have heard compliments like “omg I can’t figure out if my attraction to you is gay or straight wow so hot 🥵” as if that truly makes a binary trans person or cis gnc person feel better. I have friends who try as hard as they possibly can to pass and they still get they/them even after correcting someone. Do you really not think that itself is a form of misgendering?

It’s just painfully obvious some of you still see the world in terms of male, female, and other. Forcibly fitting every person you see as fucking weird looking into a third “non-binary enigma” gender in your brain is not helping you or the others around you.

Damian Wayne for the character bingo

ok yeah that's fair I did just make three posts about him

[Image: a character bingo sheet with the following squares circled: "I'm the only one that knows anything about them, actually. everyone else is wrong sorry", "they could've been such a great character if they were handled differently", "*gently holds*", "they have done nothing wrong, ever, in their life," "Autism™", and "free space". Full description under the cut.]

Listen. I am SUCH a sucker for characters who get out of a situation where they have little to no agency and then having those characters reclaim it. The idea of a kind of 'reverse' Batman and Robin dynamic where Robin is the one whose darkness needs to be kept in check while Batman lights stuff up is really fun and Dick and Damian's dynamic is the only good thing about Morrison's Batman and Robin run. I love the repurposing of the Robin mantle as a symbol for redemption; I really adore superhero mantles taking on a symbolic heroic meaning, and this is a great way to play with the Robin mantle, just like Cass taking on Batgirl as a symbol for redemption was a great way to play with the Batgirl mantle.

Damian's character himself is a fascinating take on the child assassin archetype, in that, since he was raised to be a leader, he acts very different to most other characters in the archetype, and it's easy to read him as entitled and arrogant, and to an extent, he is, but it's got layers. He's always gotten every material thing he wanted. Everything he's ever had has been conditional on his performance. He is comfortable with violence and will resort to it as a first response to problems. He's a ten year old kid who does not quite grasp the consequences of his actions further than the immediate removal of danger or the reception/removal of approval from a parental figure. He's a little fucking shit with an attitude problem. He tries so so hard to be kind. He's arrogant and cocky and believes himself to be a fundamentally bad person, with sins he can never redeem himself from. He's a complex, layered character.

It's a goddamn shame that he's so intrinsically intertwined with Talia's character massacre, that no-one has written him well since Patrick Gleason's Robin: Son of Batman, that DC doesn't know what to fucking do with him, and that Morrison is a bad writer and that makes Damian's original Batman and Robin run a goddamn nightmare to suffer through.

Anyway I think he's got big autism, I wanna hold him like a spitting kitten, he's never done anything wrong in his entire life the murders are okay because I like him, and most of his fans are almost as insufferable as his haters. I trust like maybe ten Damian fans on this website and if you like Supersons you're not one of them.

Image description: a bingo titled 'character bingo' with the following squares: "my special little meow meow. my every waking thought. my dearest blorbo", "i don't have anything against them personally but they failed the vibe check", "I'm the only one that knows anything about them, actually. everyone else is wrong sorry", "if I met them irl i would beat them up (affectionate)", "I would unplug their life support to charge my phone", "I like the fanon better for this one", "a pathetic wet cat of a man", "my anti blorbo. I am constantly thinking of them and I hate it", "knowing of their existence fills me with incredible violent urges", "they could've been such a great character if they were handled differently", "*gently holds*", "I don't care about them tbh", "free space", "[long keysmash]", "i sincerely do not understand the hype", "they have done nothing wrong, ever, in their life", "I don't even go here but I'd die for them", "not to be a homosexual but Jesus fucking Christ. oh my god. holy shit ['god' and 'shit' are misspelled]", "Autism™", "genuinely. what the fuck", "will someone give them a fucking hug jesus christ", "they could pour soup in my lap and I'd apologize to them", "they are literally so based", "there's nothing going on behind those eyes <3", "i want to kiss their poor little head".

BATMAN BUT HES MANBAT HOLY SHIT

AM I A BATTTTTT, OR AM I A MAAAAAAAAAAAAN

I am proud to introduce you to Batman but he's Manbat. I did this because I am a furry and I think werebats a cool and Manbat looks cool. He is still Bruce Wayne, he's just a werebat instead of a guy who wears a leather fursuit and beats people. I think this has good angst potential bc yadda yadda losing himself to the beast but like. Don't you just wanna draw a furry? Also havent done the superman design for this "AU" (if you could call it that) but hes gonna be more sun themed because that is literally the reason he is so OP. Plus I just dont think red and blue fit him. Ill probably go with a blue suit with yellow/gold accents.

[IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS]

1) Batman, but he has transformed into a were-bat. Black fur covers everything except his face and his ears are large and resemble a vampire bat's. The sky above him is pitch black, and he is being lit from below by a blue light.

2) A drawing of human Were-Batman (Bruce Wayne) and transformed Were-Batman. Bruce Wayne has black long-ish hair with grey streaks and stubble. He is smirking at the camera, and is wearing a business suit. Were-Batman looks stern and imposing.

3) Were-Batman and Superman looking at each other with homosexual intent. Superman is floating on his stomach, and has folded his arms in front of him. His hair is curly, and he is pleased to see Batman. Batman looks stoic for the most part, but is blushing.

4) Human Bruce still wearing the batsuit sitting at the Batcomputer. He has just been slapped on the back ofthe head by Alfred. Batman exclaims, "OW!!!" Alfred replies, "Master Bruce, I don't give two shits if you're batman, go the fuck to sleep."

5) Were-Batman and Robin as the Timmy Trumpet vine. Batman is playing the trumpet and Robin is slamming the oven door. They are both wearing sunglasses.

-Sorry, I don't have the spoons to transcribe the notes on slide two :/ Ill try to reblog with tgem later.

[nokas-meme-den]

Shit heard in Ghost Stories meme

"When this bitch kicks, I'm moving to Vegas."

"Have you accepted Jesus as your personal savior?"

"I don't care about your cat, he's probably dead."

"Principals always look like lesbians."

"When a stronger spirit appears, the weaker spirit cowers. But all evil spirits cower before Jesus!"

"Oh my, what a gifted seamstress. I hope you're not a homosexual."

"If you want something to happen, you just need to pray! And not be a Muslim. Or Jewish."

"What the fizzityuck was that?"

"Where's the damn cat?"

"These pajamas are gay."

"Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't you come to the scary, isolated pay phone on the bad side of town, alone?"

"Maybe you have a hidden talent you don't know about! Like Paris Hilton being an actress! Oh, scratch that."

"THINK OF A BIG BLACK MAN CHASING YOU!"

"A car accident... must have been hit by an old Chinamen. I don't mean to be racist, but those people CANNOT drive."

"You'd be surprised just how many transgressions a filthy little sinner like you can rack up in just a day."

"Look, a little Jew boy."

"Come rub my nipples."

"Drop the Krispy Kreme, Serpiko! We need your help here!"

"My BS detector is going DING!"

"I can read. Not well, but I can read. And those letters... are BACKWARDS!"

"The weird part is, I'm not even high. Not a bit. Totally sober!"

"The internet was a blessing from the Lord Jesus to spread the word of God throughout the world, but then Muslims and pedophiles stole it and used it to lure out and seduce children like you."

"Hey, want some candy little boy?"

"You can use it if you promise not to be on the phone too long. I know how you Pagans take advantage of others."

"A bunch of somber, quiet people against a red nuclear sky near a river of blood. Wow, that doesn't look threatening at all."

"Why? Because Jewish people rock!"

"That's so sweet... in a 'you scare the crap out of me in an Emily Rose' kind of way!"

"Here, you can take pooky-poo. He used to be my man, but we broke up."

"The V on my sweater stands for 'Very Big Deal', but that's beside the point."

"Come on, jump... I SAID JUMP!"

"Yes, the animal cemetery. Hear the plot point bells going off?"

"I hope Stephen King never sees this."

"She's looking straight at us, I don't think we hid very well."

"Those 3 to 4 cardboard boxes aren't going to hold them for long!"

"Lord reveal your salvation, for I am your favorite among these heathens."

"Yo sensei Dave, what's haps on the snaps with the craps?"

"You two-timing son of a bitch! Who's gonna take care of these little bastards!?"

"Oh splinter ohhhhh!"

"Shut up. You're here, and you're an idiot."

"Years ago, people went in there but they didn't come out. Not unlike your sister."

"2.2 Celsius... Metric system. Who thought this was a good idea again? I'm just gonna put 100. No one's gonna know."

"Oh perfect, it's in Japanese. Ching chong nong ding tow! Wait, that's Chinese."

"God, can you go bomb an abortion clinic or something?"

"Creepy Japanese men can be cabbies too y'know. But women should never be allowed to drive."

"Obeying horror movie rules, I'm going to go out alone. You stay here while I go look for help."

"I'm not giving you a reach around."

"You're such a bitch."

"First we do a geographic montage to show we traveled a long way from your house. There, that should be enough."

"I'm gonna beat you retarded."

"Jesus saved my ass."

"And what a lovely little ass it is, too."

"¡NO CORRAN EN EL HOSPITAL, CABRONES!"

"Now that is some really nice animation."

"Nice rack. Mind if I make 'em a little bigger? Ahahaehehahhha boobies. Loooove boobies. Nice lips too. I USED TO HAVE LIPS!"

"Lunchtime BJ?"

"Let's see... purple, for your hair. Can't tell this was a goddamn anime."

"Okay. Stop trying to look up my skirt. IT'S A CARTOON!"

"Holy time machine, Batman, it's 1973!"

"Holy pre-Parkinson's Michael J Fox Christopher Lloyd Back To The Future plot ripoff device! Where's my DeLorean?"

"I'll grab her ass!"

"Oh damn anime, look what's happened to my eyes."

"Leo! Leo! Leo! Leo! Goddamnit! Goddamnit! Goddamnit! Goddamnit!"

"It's the chick from The Ring! I mean, The Grudge! What movie are we ripping off again?"

"Oh my god, did that spell work? You know, like the one where you write your name in an eraser? I hear the head cheerleader's having an abortion."

"Such a bitch! Stop being such a friggin' skank and give it back!"

"Sometimes yes means no!"

"Moshi moshi! I mean, hello."

"Tomomi? Ain't no Tomomi girl living here, so what?"

"Get your cracker ass into some rehab, I ain't got time for this bullshit."

"MOTHAFUCKA."

"Run! She's a ghost and a bitch!"

"I'm goin' fuckin' crazy."

"HEY! Maybe if they paid their fuckin' phone bill, you could call again!"

"Nobody's talking to you. Just drive the bus, bus driver. Fuckin' nosy."

"Oh, sorry. All you little yellow people look alike to me. And African Americans, but not the Mexicans. Why do you think that is? I mean, don't you find that just the weirdest thing?"

"Romans 1:26, God gave them over to shameful lusts!"

"A view of the blood-stained lake. AHHHHHHH"

"Oh it may be blue now, but soon it will be redder than Republican Texas."

"No, I'm serious, bitch. I swear to god. Blue."

"Maybe this vase isn't nailed down."

"We go with the snow but not the snow that is yellow!"

"Alright everybody, it's 4:30. School is finally over. Time to go home, load up that bong, and watch Pokemon!"

"Leave me alone, I'm doing my standard anime 'elbows up' pose."

"Oh wow. I can't even comprehend how inappropriate this is."

"GOD YOU'RE MAKING ME SICK."

"God you are four of the ugliest fucking kids I've ever had the misfortune of laying my eyes on. I can't wait for this bitch to kill you."

"NANIIIIIII?"

"Oh my, definitely a 10."

"If you do, I'll suck you all for a Scooby Snack."

"Any closer and there'd be insertion."

"I may be a successful doctor, but first and foremost I'm a Jew."

"You know what I hear? I hear the sound of you shuttin' the fuck up."

"Let's see... 7?"

"What the FUCK are you talking about!?"

Now I Get It (Batboys + Batman x Male Reader)

Requested for anonymous for “ If this hasn’t been done yet, I’d like to request the BatFam’s reaction to suddenly realising that they’re gay when they fall in love with the reader. That would be genuinely interesting! ”

Bruce

For a man so smart, he’s really not too good with reading his own emotions.

But it starts when he tries to “Bruce Wayne flirt” with you for the cameras and press, and he finds he can’t do it.

Well, he can, but he finds he doesn’t want to.

He tries to examine himself to figure out why that is.

And he realizes that he wants it to be real.

So he tries to get to know you better before he begins to flirt.

And it isn’t in the “Bruce Wayne” way, but in a more sincere kind of charm.

Dick is the first to know, and Bruce is so grateful for how kind and supportive he is.

Alfred is told next, because Bruce was deathly afraid of disappointing his father-figure, and then it is announced to the family.

Then to the public, which is how the League finds out. Ollie claps him on the back and says “So, I do have a chance after all, huh?” before Dinah grabs him by the ear and pulls him away.

Dick

Gets really excitable

At first he’s confused, because he wants to know if he’s attracted to you, or he just thinks you’re an amazing friend.

Then he realizes that it’s both, and he’s really happy.

He comes out to the family, and he does cry when they’re accepting of him. He was worried that they wouldn’t be okay with it.

And then he courts you like a prince would. Sends you gifts, little heartfelt notes, smiles at you when he sees you approach

He just loves you so much

And he’s so glad that everyone’s behind him.

He becomes a big supporter of the lgbtq+ youth movement in Gotham, convincing Bruce to create safe spaces for them

Comes out publicly to show his support

and is really shy when he asks you to be his boyfriend.

Jason

Jason is unfazed.

He sees you one day and is like, “oh. So, I’m gay.”

And Roy looks over at him and is like “Uh, yeah? You’ve only been staring at my butt since forever.”

He scoffs. “don’t flatter yourself.”

But anyway, he doesn’t really act any different. In fact, he purposefully doesn’t mention your gender when he brings up bringing you to the Manor to meet his family, instead calling you his “lover”

“Hey, can I bring my lover over for dinner one of these days?”

They earn his respect when they’re respectful and polite to you and compliment Jason that he found someone nice.

Tim

He realizes that he’s in love with you late at night while looking through evidence for a case.

“Holy, crap, I’m in love with Y/N! I’m gay!”

Everyone already knew.

Tim has followed you around like a puppy for months, and gushed about you to the rest of them, and spent every free moment with you. Made every excuse to hug you, hold your books, talk to you.

Even while he was looking through the evidence, he was texting with you.

So he decides to do it.

“hey Y/N im gay” he texts.

“lol”

He starts freaking out. What does this mean???

“???”

“i know your gay. your my bf lol”

“seriously???”

Then you call him, and he realizes that you had asked him on a date, but he thought it was just a friend date. 

“Wow, Tim. Really?”

“Yeah... can I have a do-over? I can be a better boyfriend if you still want me.”

“Of course I do. ...and nope. I’m keeping this memory to tease you with.”

Tim: *sighs*

Damian

Freaks out a bit

The League of Assassins is big on bloodlines and lineage, so they’re not so big on homosexuality.

He gets a bit angry and yells at you for no good reason.

He’s not so great with the feelings

Eventually Bruce sits him down for a talk. Lets him know that he’ll be loved regardless of whom he loves.

And Damian breaks down.

He gets advice from all his brothers and then asks you on a date.

Which he is super nervous at but excited too.

Alfred (bet you weren’t expecting that, huh?)

“You’ve dropped the ball here, Pennyworth old boy.” Alfred says to himself.

He’s occasionally wondered why, over the years, he never pursued or wanted to pursue a romantic relationship.

But when he saw you, he understood. He’s been looking in the wrong place.

He considers this new information for a while before going up to you and very genteelly asking you on a date with him.

He tells Bruce very soon after.

Bruce is ecstatic for him

The boys are more concerned about him being taken away from them than him being gay.

Honestly, he’s pretty good at dating and being charming.

He adjusts to it easily.
