#i am media literate at the best of times

[edsbacktattoo]

i know we’ve talked about how dramatic both ed and stede are as a whole but have we talked about when ed gets rid of the silk specifically? the cunt he serves. and for what? like babe no one is watching. the gentle release. his hair in the wind. the way he forlornly looks at the sea. it’s like a whole theatre production for the audience of one (1) and it’s his damn self. is he serious.

i guess ive always loved media where characters are bitches to each other for No Reason other than It's Funny........... im watching a lot of retrospective videos of thomas the tank engine, and also animal crossing. and it's like that paired to my fixation on twst right now........ im sensing there has been a pattern here all along .....

There are four main types of Batfam fans in regard to how people interpret Bruce Wayne as a dad (/Joking. This is mostly satire and should not be taken seriously):

Fans that think Bruce is emotionally constipated and isn't the best at being a parent but still tries (Differs per person). Don't necessarily think he's absuive but thinks he can be toxic or have unhealthy expectations for the Robins. Can smell the Oldest Daughter Syndrome coming from Dick and have Family Line (By Conan Gray) as their top song on their Dick inspired playlist and Daddy Issues (By The Neighbourhood) for Jason.

Fans that choose to believe Bruce goes to therapy in their own canon. Love B:WFA. Thinks the comic can be cheesy at times and so find a balance between B:WFA Bruce and Please Go To Therapy BruceTM as their middle ground. He struggles. They advocate that Bruce is not a bad parent, he just has bad writers that seem to forget Bruce wouldn't hurt kids, especially not his own. Love the humane moments and scenes he has in BTAS and the early JL cartoons. He may not be perfect but he's not literally abusive. Whores for Bruce being able to admit when he is wrong and for Jason and Bruce reconciling. I recommend Grow As We Go by Ben Platt for this one.

A mix between the first two. Was fine-ish when Dick was younger. Didn't help him in the healthiest way but eh. Still emotionally constipated but that happened more so after Dick left and Jason died. Started getting better when Tim came back but was still closed off. Should probably go to therapy with the kids so they can drag his ass about all the things he's done that have actually affected them negatively. Understands his mistakes and is also able to admit when he's wrong, eventually. It's not easy but he starts to do better and learns to be more emotionally available. Still has to get chewed out by Alfred sometimes but definitely better than he used to be and it shows. Reconciliation is slow and gradual but progress is made for everyone involved.

The one's I personally avoid for my own sanity and wellbeing:

Think Bruce is a complete bastard and abuser. Want him to choke. Hate any and all interpretations of him. Some of which will refuse to understand how anyone could have a different interpretation. Will point out comics where, in all fairness, he is a dick but forget that characterisation can significantly differ from one series to the next, as comic characters are constantly passed around to different writers and have been for decades. Not to mention movies, shows, etc.

Getting Stockholm syndrome'd by academics lately not even stressed about the fact I have to get thru like 700 pages of last-minute assigned readings between my classes before 9 AM Wednesday. Just chilling. Acknowledging the next 2 days are going to be intense and exhausting but will manage and get thru it a better theorist. Also there's Buster Keaton screening to mark the end of Round 1: Reading Hell

the wildest thing about the state of reading comprehension these days is reading some meta on your dash and thinking yeah that's good. op is totally right. but like. why does it need to be said. isn't that already painfully obvious. but then you find out that op was actually debunking the most popular character misconception that is basically accepted by the fandom and is used for all kinds of memes headcanons and fanart as (sometimes the only one) valid canon characterisation and yeah. it doesn't only need to be said loud and clear but also speaker is recommended as well as writing all of that in bold font on the biggest most visible banner possible

me, before starting to rewatch dr who: I can be normal about david tennant as the doctor

me now:

[lebrookestore]

oh girl what the fuck

[forcedhesitation]

completely rhetorical question, I know exactly why they do, but also why do people succumb to pairing star/gale? or rather, how do they? is it not boring, do you not get bored? I cannot imagine being continuously entertained by such a bland pair. wyll is right there, man.

[thekidsarentalright]

sometimes i think abt the fact that i was like Insanely Obsessively into fob since the literal second i got into them (it's only gotten more intense the longer i've been into them) and just thought that level of fixation was normal. like, everyone can literally only ever think about one singular interest of theirs, right? everyone gets disproportionately upset if they Can't think/talk about only that interest 24/7, right???? like no babygirl that's just autism 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

I literally cannot become close with a single more person who refuses to take care of themselves and be responsible for their actions. Literally if youre not in therapy which is incredibly possible even with restrictions i was in therapy when i was homeless for g-ds sake then the least you can do is hold urself accountable and seek out and use skills and tools that you can find online and from friends that better yourself. Because if you can do no wrong in your mind and you make people in your life feel like they cant tell u when u hurt ur feelings than you need therapy or an alternative. You cant just get away with being manipulative and shaping someone coming to u with a problem as them being a monster for having a simple feeling forever. Youre going to sabotage all your relationships until you return the same effort and/or fucking give a shit about your growth. You can make mistakes and slip ups and intent dont matter if you hurt a friend or step on their toes its unavoidable we are human and will do this with each other for eternity you will never be able to avoid basic conflict. If you cant handle that then u need serious serious growth and for that u need actual help regardless of how your selfish ass gets it. Youre not special. You dont get to act however you want and get away with it becuz u think u have it the hardest. If a dying fucking woman whos been homeless and in an abusive ecosystem for almost 26 years can get help from therapy, online resources, etc. Ur thick headed unfeeling ass can too.
