#mentally ill mothers

[sukistunnel]

Saw this meme today on pintrest and I thought "mhm this looks familiar" and then after a few seconds I was like "OH SHIT THIS IS FAMILIAR"

so... Gaides and lentelman... I present to you... The girlhood spectrum:

girls be like “fighting demons😤🤪” and the demons be their moms

Because apparently we are still having this discussion in 2024..

Donna does not have “the mind of a child”. I can kind of see how someone might interpret that, but it’s not canon and therefore REALLY weird and infantilizing towards mentally ill adults. The only thing Donna’s file says is that she has severe mental illness. My theroy is DID but let’s save that for another day.

When Miranda calls her mentally underdeveloped, “underdeveloped” does not mean childlike. You have to understand that Miranda is specifically talking about Donna’s cadou affinity, which Miranda deems unfit due to the fact that Donna has shared hers amongst Angie and the other dolls-making her “weaker” in Miranda’s eyes.

Just because Donna “plays with dolls” also doesn’t mean she has the mind of a child. Like this woman canonically murders people, regardless of if it’s Miranda’s fault or not, and does so by knowingly drugging her victims and letting those same dolls (controlled by HER) to slice and dice them.

I’m tired of being perceived as a creep by those who conjured up this unverifiable narrative. Calling anyone who finds Donna attractive pe**philic is also a really big accusation to put on someone, especially when you believe something that was never canon. As someone who is a survivor of CSA myself, you are doing nothing of value to help us. Especially if you’re going to accuse us of such things.

Stop infantilizing mental illness and mentally ill people, too.

Donna may be my little gothic cupcake smoochie bear, but.. she’s still a full grown adult who very much thinks like one and ✨kills people✨.

Rant over, back to our regular program

The feminine urge to not be like your mother

It's been a few weeks, really, since the day he met his biological father.

The oversized hoodie drowned him, a perfect haven while he waits near the entrance to arkham asylum.

The whole week rushed by after the event. His mom, wonderful, black belt, kickass mom had fretted over him the whole time, messaging his therapist not long after and getting an appointment.

His dad had been clingy, giving him bear hugs left and right, it felt nice. Jazz hadn't let him out of her sight for one moment, always searching, always studying.

Man, he loved his family.

"Are you going to visit him?" The gruff voice of Batman asks, and danny shrieks, jumping away as he looks at the vigilante with wide eyes.

"Oh Ancients—! Don't scare me like that!" Danny scolds, hand over his chest and breathing hard.

He can feel the amusement wafting off of Batman. Or something.

Huffing, the child leans against the brickstone pillar holding the gate again.

"No," he ends up answering. "I'm not here to visit... him."

Batman listens quietly, simply standing next to him. He doesn't pressure nor demand anything. If danny thinks more of it, he might get a headache.

"My sister is an intern in Arkham, we're gonna have dinner with Harley and Ivy today." A shrug, and the wind lovingly pushes him.

"Good." The man states, he hesitates a moment before he stretches his arm out towards danny, opening his hand and showcasing the items.

First is a lollipop, famous for being handed over to children after being saved by the bat himself. Second is a pin, in the shape of Batman's signature bat, it had a red button on the other side however.

"It's an emergency alert, in case anything like this happens again." Is quickly explained and Danny takes them, if not a bit tense.

He is unused to the trust the man shows him despite how short their time was spent together. Danny wonders if the bat already snooped around.

"Thanks—"

"Danny!"

His head snaps to the gate opening, brightening up as Jazz runs through and hugs him.

"Jazz!" He eagerly hugs back, thank looks up at her.

"You gotta meet Bat—" He trails off when they turn to the empty spot next to the pair, wind rustling leaves just as he finished. "man..."

Damn batman.

Danny huffs and tugs at Jazz's jacket. "Nevermind then, c'mon let's get a nice present before we visit harley."

Simply bringing her up seems to have Jazz excited. "I still can't believe we're having dinner with THE Dr. Harleen Quinzel!!!"

"And her wife."

"aND THE Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley!!!"

Her enthusiasm is rubbing off on him, he grins, hooking up his arm around hers, and they're skipping towards town, laughing like maniacs.
