Tim Drake in the red robin comic run and just in general is so Marina's The Family Jewels coded. I redrew the panel to give him his New 52 Red Robin suit because the cowl was god awful and I included some quotes from Marina's album on the side. I didn't even get space to fit one from the song Seventeen which is crazy cause he's literally 17. For context this is the panel where he's falling after Ra's kicked him out of a window just before Dick caught him, when he was expecting to die. Hope you like it cause most of it is tracing and listen to Marina's first album because it's so Tim coded.

Seeing the difference between Tumblr and tiktok's attitude towards Chappell Roan restored my faith in humanity

I knew this silly little gay website would be like "...how about let's stop harassing a young gay woman with bipolar 2 and stop demanding that she be a perfect shiny sexy robot programed to do the hot to go dance when you insert a quarter into her hair."

And Jesus Christ people are so fucking willfully ignorant. She has said she loves her fans, but the people she has a problem with are stalkers/harassers. Nobody is saying you are a bad person for wanting a photo with Chappell. But if you get angry at her for saying no (remember, no means no. You know, like, consent? Autonomy?) and demand that she give you what YOU SPECIFICALLY want from her, then yes. You are a bad person.

Fame is not harassment. Going to a concert is not harassment. Wanting to meet her is not harassment. HARASSMENT IS HARASSMENT. STALKING IS STALKING.

The internet has made us so fucking stupid, I'm genuinely scared for the future of humanity.

Extremely cold take: I Am Not A Robot by Marina and The Diamonds is very very very very Michael Afton-core.

Okay, now onto the hot take part, lmao. I think it also has a bit of Michael x Ennard vibes with that last-ish part. Like ffs bro "Can you turn my my power on" is a lyric here, and its so them.

I love that you used her speech in 'Restless' for this character study video. I know a lot of people don't really understand what she's saying in that scene. But the way I interpret it is that it is an identification and declaration of her humanity (or her queerness, if you want to involve the gay allegory. I don't but I know some Buffyverse meta writers/analysts that do).

"I walk, I talk, I shop, I sneeze." = I may possess animal instinct like any other animal does but I am not a barbarian.

"I'm going to be a fireman when the floods roll back." = I am a hero when it is most needed and when I am under pressure.

"There's trees in the desert since you moved out" = everything moves, has it's place in time and nothing is permanent.

"And I don't sleep on a bed of bones" = not everything I do amounts to destruction and decay because this is not all I am.

In other words: she's answering Sineya's question in an affirmation of her own personhood. Something Sineya doesn't and never had.

She's saying "I am not a killer. I am a human being that has to do what they have to do when they have to do it and though I may not have fully accepted my calling yet, I at least acknowledge that it is part of me without letting it define my entire nature and identity like you did. "

It's an incredibly powerful and insightful speech when you can decode the visual and experiential symbolism of it. The profound poetry. She is not alone in a desert of her own making like Sineya is. See the whole point is that the SLAYER has no choice. Slaying is chosen for them. But Buffy creates the choice. And Sineya is jealous of that. It's quite horrific actually because it is abject racism. But then that's just the honesty of it really. Of course it would be racist to depict an African tribal woman as nothing but a mute murderer in a time and place where powerful sharmanic men made the FIRST SLAYER out of a literal demon and a white American woman has her psyche intact enough to socialise with other people - can even be like other people. None of this insight hits you until you have seen the ENTIRE BUFFYVERSE. All of it informs 'Restless" and showcases just how, probably unintentionally, significant and exceptional of an episode of TV art/entertainment it actually is and why I get so disappointed when YouTube reactors have such a negative reaction to it. I mean I get it, I get that they don't quite understand it. I mean you really can't on a first watch, I'll admit. But it still bruises the ego a little bit. I'm only human after all. Just like Buffy. 😆
