Not to make another very specific petty rant that is only based off of random interactions I had months ago and my mind suddenly reminded me of but I remembered one time someone said mecha is a more male centric genre in context of me criticizing how some shows portray females and I fear for how many people agree on that when it’s STUPID. Yes, it’s very much action heavy, it might as well be a shonen demographic, but also ignoring how females can enjoy action bc that element is not gender specific: Most mecha’s DON’T HAVE GENDERS so they can be piloted by anyone regardless of gender. There is nothing wrong with people wanting good female rep in mecha’s especially if they identify as a woman because this genre shouldn’t be bound to one gender. Literally let more woman pilot the robot or at LEAST be very strong supporting characters.
#meg text#mecha#coming from a non binary bean who is very masc leaning and loves men#cause I can at least acknowledge when female rep is bad and should be accounted for#we also just- had a handful of female leading mecha??#rayearth is a weird cause given it’s also magical girls so someone might not see it as mecha but GUNBUSTER???#it was made in the 80s TOO#or just when the cast is primarily males but there’s still at least one female pilot#this con did not form out of gwitch stuff but feel free to apply it here anyways#also idk the exact scope of female mecha representation but I’m expecting it to be fairly mixed#as in “most always they are a supporting character and when they do pilot there’s some consequence”#idk if I’ll ever watch enough mecha to find out though#but I’m still ranting regardless bc this is vaguer compared to other shit on my mind rn

because nova is going to be spending the summer with us to recover from top surgery, we've been playing animal crossing together on my switch, so every day i get to see what hes added to his home or the island... now forrest is joining us too!!!! i feel so happy, it reminds me of when i lived with my siblings and we did the same. i missed sharing
#i love seeing it too like forrest made a little farm in the upper right corner#my house is a cafe. where the top floor and basement are apartment flats#novas house is so cool its like... idk how to describe. artsy vintage. 70s/80s fusion with lots of reds and blues its coooolll#forrests house is very like. rustic in comparison#i think he said he wants to try and do 'midcentury modern' like a 70s/90s fusion#me personally. i just have the ranch furniture in my apartment. lots of green things and stuffed animals#and the cafe is the antique / imperial furniture set with coffee stuff mized in LOL#i think once our houses are done nova and i are going to make mars a house together

i love the interpretations of Any of the pines being trans but to me mabel and dipper Are fraternal twins they are just also both trans. they just swapped names and ‘pretended’ to be the other. i know dipper being transmasc is like the most popular trans hc in the fandom, so to me this is why dipper’s name is mason but he always wanted the name tyrone
#mabel is wearing sweaters in the summer. idk kinda transgender#unless oregon is cold in summer. but last episode i think soos mentions it’s like 80°#(saying it’s too hot for stan to be wearing a sweater(the one mabel made him)(bc he says he’s wearing it bc it was cold)(lying)#anyway she’s still wearing a sweater there#and ford !#i think it’d be funny that they’re all trans.#like the more trans people in a family it just gets funnier imo. what are the odds#<-i say this lovingly. i am under the transgender umbrella#also imagine w me Stan who was there when the kids were born meeting them again now age 12 and at some point going#’wait i thought mabel was the one with the birthmark’ and they’re like ‘wow you confuse siblings even when they’re different genders. smh’#the kids probably dont know stan is also transgender. or maybe they do. is it funnier if they do#gravity falls#words from the monarch

I'm listening to ABBA again and that never means anything good for anyone
Imagine the Batfam all doing their own Bat Things in the cave, just existing in the same space. The kids convinced Bruce to play music over the speakers, he agreed only because he's doing work on the bat computer and therefore has ultimate control over the music.
Chiquitita comes on and Bruce swiftly moves his hand to change the song.
Dick: Ah, actually B, could we keep this song on? ABBA always makes me feel closer to my mom, and this in particular was one of her favorite songs.
Jason: Weird Dickie, ABBA was my mom's favorite band too.
Bruce: Hn. They were my mothers favorite too, that's why I was changing it.
Jason: Of course, Old Man, cant expect you to let yourself feel an emotion, after all, can you?
Tim: Not to interrupt your regularly scheduled make-fun-of-Batman enrichment time Jay, but ABBA was my mom's favorite too. She would play Money, Money, Money every time she got ready for any big business deal.
Duke: Okay, that's really weird? My parents danced to I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do at their wedding. 5 of our moms having the same favorite band is a wild ass coincidence.
Steph: 6 actually.... *narrows her eyes and looks around the room* Well, at least we don't have to worry about The Daughter of the Demon liking ABBA.
Damian: And to no one's surprise, Brown is confidently wrong once again. *dodges a thrown book* Mother never found ABBA as frivolous as other western music, for whatever reason.
Cass: I don't believe Lady Shiva has ever listened to music before so I think I'm out of this one.
Tim: Ahh, sorry Cass but Shiva did actually play music during our training at times, and ABBA was on heavy rotation.
Cass: :(
Bruce: Hnnnn
*music cuts out*
Barbara, over the speakers: Before any of you pull out some ridiculous conspiracy theory revolving around 80's Swedish Pop sensation ABBA, let me remind you that they are literally peak Mom Music. Moms love ABBA, it's not weird. It's hardly even a coincidence. I would be more surprised if your mothers DIDN'T listen to ABBA when you were growing up.
(Bruce is still compiling a file of possible ways ABBA could be used for evil.)
#Would you believe me if I said this post came from me violently sobbing imagining Mary Grayson singing Chiquitita to Dick?#had to do some quick maths to make sure Martha and Thomas would have been alive in the 80s and then had a bit of a meltdown#wdym a 40 year old Bruce was born in 1985#that's the bowling for soup year not the Batman year#To make it worse sometimes I hc Bruce as younger than that too I think its funny when he's like 19 when he adopts dick#can you believe I made this long of a post about ABBA again that's wild#I MIXED UP ABBA AND BABBA LMAOOO THEYRE SWEDISH NOT ICELANDIC FAKE FAN#batfam#dcu#batman#Bruce wayne#dick grayson#Jason todd#Tim drake#Damian Wayne#Stephanie Brown#Cassandra Cain#Barbara Gordon#Duke Thomas#ABBA#shut up grandpa

this screenshot is sending me . babes . they slapped a pair of reading glasses on her and called it a day .
#doctor who#dw spoilers#dw bts#ruby sunday#millie gibson#73 yards#i have all the respect to the make up department on doctor who. and i suspect they went for something very subtle#like just shading in natural face creases that just unfortunately didn't show up that well on camera#also paired with the fact that ruby was still hopping about like a 19 year old at 40 (tbh good on her.) ace did the same thing and that was#just sophie aldred bringing her all when she got the chance to reprise her role (good on her too)#it did however have the side effect of making ruby's jump from 19 to 40 absolutely hilarious#especially because the jump from 40 to 80 really was just another older actress and that made the whiplash even funnier

9/9 - Dick Grayson tarot card designs for Complete Candor by @vexfulfolly as part of the @batfam-big-bang
Read the fic here!
Other cards:
1-Babs 2-Cass 3-Bruce 4-Tim 5-Damian 6-Jason 7-Duke 8-Steph 9-Dick
Image IDs
Image 1:
A design of "The World" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE WORLD". A symbol of two clouds is visible behind the numeral "XXI".
Dick Grayson dives confidently downwards in his Nightwing uniform with pupil-less white eyes. His arms are spread wide. He plummets through a deep blue sky with large stylised cream-coloured clouds partially obscuring him in the foreground, and some less-visible in the background.
Image 2:
A design of "The World" tarot card. It has the texture of recycled paper and reads "THE WORLD" upside-down. A symbol of a theatre mask is visible behind the numeral "XXI".
Dick Grayson falls backwards in his Robin uniform, a hand reaching up desperately with one white pupil-less eye visible. He falls through a dark blue sky with partially- visible clouds in the background, and large stylised cream-coloured clouds in the foreground, partially covering him. The entire card is upside-down.
#dicks were the FIRST ones I made#before even thumbnails- i KNEW what I wanted his cards to be#the upright card design is heavily inspired by that one Dan mora cover for worlds finest#and reversed by a nightwing cover- I think one of the first of the TT run#the heartless run for sure. I think maybe issue 80 or 82 or something around then#so basically- nightwing design inspired by a cover of robin!dick and robin design inspired by a cover of nightwing#I redid the typography on these cards like 5 times#it took. long. a long time#I almost finished and then realised the font sizes were too large for babs so I had to rewrite them all#and by hand. because it’s procreate#dc comics#fanart#dick grayson#nightwing#robin#batfam#the magnus archives#tma#tarot cards#tarot art#my scribbles

not related to noco at all but what is katie and sadie’s relationship like now?
pretty good all things considered! while they're both married to two sweet guys and have separate families (none of their kids are other td characters, unfortunately...) they're still really close, and still live next to each other at that same beach town they grew up in, now both running that successful 80s themed ice cream business they've been dreaming of! its safe to say they probably suffered the least on Total Drama, only leaving with a couple of minor scars, good god were they lucky..
#noco family au#total drama#total drama katie#total drama sadie#total drama katie and sadie#where are they now#I mean its ok to ask non-coco related questions here I won't complain#and I guess it makes sense talking about these two since they made like#a VERY brief cameo in the Wayne arc#just thinking but I've been too harsh on these two for a bit now they're actually pretty sweet#like yea they were annoying and gimmicky on the show but#they kinda feel like wasted potential#like their bios talk about so much we don't see in the show#like how they love the 80s#or that they make their own ice cream#or that Katie sews their clothes from scratch?#like#that's fucking adorable#but then they're resorted to annoying filler characters#like I sorta get it from a writing standpoint but..#when Katie was voted off they did sweet FUCK ALL with Sadie#like Sadie didn't even SPEAK until the episode she was eliminated#and then they don't show up again unless its to simp for this seasons hot boy or whatever#idk

RIP Christopher Benjamin (27.12.1934 - 15.1.2025)
"That was another reason, in a way, that I decided to give [stage acting] up, because I was getting a bit - a bit dicey with the lines. People sort of wrote down, quite often, the things I said... instead of the things I should have said. They were known as my bloopers: 'Benjamin bloopers'. Some of my inventions were very good, I must admit. My feeling was, if I dried, I had to say something - and so that something was something that amused the rest of the cast considerably, quite often."

I unironically love how blatantly late 80’s early 90’s all the brothers’ styles are in “The Clothes Don’t Make the Turtle” because like…of course those are their styles! The majority of the media they grew up adoring is heavily influenced by that time period, so it makes perfect sense that they all took inspiration from it. It’s honestly super cute to see, they’re such kids I swear.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#the clothes don't make the turtle#rise of the tmnt#they’re soooo influenced by media#which makes sense as it was the place of bonding with their father for the most part#but yeah a lot of themselves can be directly harkened back to what media they consume#I mean just look at Donnie’s eyebrows and compare them to Lou Jitsu#Raph’s idea of police and justice is very 80s action movie too#Mikey’s all about bright colors and stuff which is much more common in that time period#(as opposed to now where neutrals are more common)#and we all know Leo basically made himself into an expy of Lou Jitsu
