You see, Moe isn't in the business of fixing people, *remembers Moe is quite literally in the business of "fixing" people as a healer* *stares out into yhe fucki g
#moe tag#this was gonna be an analysis about the fact that it acknowledges it can't 'fix' people#the best it can do is offer a little respite.#god there are actually so many angles this post can go. there's the kind one like above#there's the next best thing it can do is atone for being alive#there's the next NEXT best thing it can do is have gay sex about it.#none of these are solutions.#god i want to write up a moe/lif dynamic post so bad. it is so disastrous. but also REALLY hard for me to put into words#but i'm also def waning i am SO CLOSE. to finishing that comic. it might all be worth it#i've got another one. next best thing moe can do is make the situation Worse.#i don't know if i have anything left in me today but like. i want to talk about moe/lif so bad.#they just suck ass. both of them. worst anyone has ever done it in complete opposite ways.#moe lore

Ultimately the resolution of Jason and Cass fights comes down to the fact that while he has his own ideals that don't mesh with the bats, Jason can be flexible. DC skipped the whole reconciliation with the family but while he's willing to kill it's generally a means to an end to him, not the whole entire point unless you're talking about Joker. Meanwhile for Cass the question of killing vs not killing is dead serious to her which means any time they're working together and things start going off track it's like:
Jason: Look if we kill this guy we send a message to his boss which makes it easier for us to negotiate with him from a position of power and I just think that-
Cass, snatching one of his guns and pointing it at her own head: Go on, pull the trigger. Kill him. Kill me. Go tell Batman that you let his daughter die to make a negotiation easier. He already let you die so no problem right? You think we should die? You think our life only worthwhile as part of a plan, just because we're killers? Are we doomed? Are we rotten to the core with no hope of redemption? Go on then, kill us and kill part of your soul alongside it. You clearly don't care for it so why are you even trying? Kill yourself along with us, come on Jason let's all just die right?
Jason, slowly backing away: I think you may be projecting a tiny bit so just. Calm down before I call the suicide hotline please.
Cass, slowly lowering the gun and knocking the random henchman unconscious: Yeah that's what I thought, fucking pussy.
Jason: Mm yeah you know what I hate you actually. Fuck this mission I'll just shoot you right now if you're going to be this annoying about it.
Jason, explaining things later to Dick: So I just kept shooting at her until I ran out of bullets and we both calmed down enough to call a truce. We tracked the guy down and didn't kill anyone but I did blow up the batplane just as a last minute screw you. Is she always this uh... intense?
Dick: Yeah, one time I broke up with Barbara and she threw me out a window. She's just like that.
#dc#cassandra cain#jason todd#batfam#dc rambles#dick grayson#it's so funny how jason is like. a mass murderer. and yet he's more of a team player than cass#like yeah he's violent and unpredictable but if you're on the same team with the same temporary goal then you've got decent chances#meanwhile the entire team could be seconds away from dying with the only solution being to kill a guy with a bomb#and if you're on the team with cass she'll spend the last few seconds punching you in the face for trying to kill the evil guy#then disarming the bomb because she's just that annoying#I love her very much <3#i'm jason posting a lot recently sorry jtodd stans for clogging up his tag#I just like the thought of jason dealing with a mini bruce that has none of the baggage of being his dad#so it's just the experience of ramming his head into an annoying brick wall with zero catharsis of confronting your shitty father

I always find it interesting that these people completely ignore hijabi girls when they think about getting rid of female bathrooms in schools. I had many muslim friends and classmates who wore hijab and one of the only places they could adjust or take off their scarves completely or change was the girls bathrooms. Anyone who argues for unisex bathrooms and getting rid of female bathrooms always comes at it from such a male perspective and nothing makes it more obvious to me than when I think about the hijabi girls I grew up with. To me, that's an obvious "what about them". To people who literally only want to force males into female spaces with no care at all about our safety, this idea never comes up.
#like it literally blows my mind none of them care about muslim girls who wear hijab#even tho i dislike islam it doesn't make all those girls disappear like so you just wanna force that space away from them#its just such an obvious counterargument that i never see any of them find any solutions for bc to them it doesn't even matter#but to me its one of those obvious problems alongside the potential SA and bullying and embarrassment#this is such a ramble

I think the Batfam are chronic sufferers of "everyone wants to fix the problem, and nobody wants to listen" syndrome, and they drive each other so mad they that have to go brood on a balcony or gargoyle because you just finished reluctantly spitting out your issue and someone's already offering a seven point plan they've been working on.
#Funniest thing if none of them notice this#Just one big circle of getting steadily more and more annoyed because yeah that's the solution but you already fucking thought of it#What you wanted was someone to rant to#Batfamily headcanon#Not original by any means#But a thought#And you know what that means *aside* you guys also get the thought#batman#dc comics#batfamily

every day im reminded that though my parents may have wanted a dog they clearly did not want to take care of a dog
#and i KNEW this which was why i insisted on not getting dogs though they keep trying to gaslight me#into thinking that i agreed on the dogs. i didnt and i wish id railed against it harder#because ill be honest i knew i didnt want to take care of a dog i wasnt in the headspace#but i also knew that if they got the dog that the actual caring duties would be foisted off to me#and the things that They would have to do ie go to the vet nd pay the bills etc theyd complain about and avoid#and thats one thjng. but oh my fucking god. my dad specifically#its like hes trying to get these dogs to die. we have several plants in the backyard#bad for dogs. i point them out. i have pointed them out Several times.#theyre his plants the gardens his thats none of my things. he just goes oh they wont get into them#THEYRE DOGS. but he doesnt want to move his fucking plants#one of the dogs is on medicine but has a habit of not eating his food in the morning#which means if u leave his medicine in hjs bowl the other dog might eat it#one solution is to give him the tablet straight. because hes good about eating it#he doesnt want to because 'thats gross'. Are you five fucking years old#the dog doesnt like the texture of dry food so another solution is to wet it#dad wont do that either because 'hes too spoiled' and 'it takes time' ONE MINUTE?????????#like i have to assume this is some kind of ploy to make me do it instead when i dont wake up that early#because if its not then hes truly just incompetent or doesnt care about the dogs#which brings me back to WHY DID YOU GET THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.#im sick of having to worry about them when he just does shit like this its wasting my time and its wasting money#but ohhhh we dont want to give the dogs away theyre part of the family 🥺#CLEARLY. because apparently u wanted kids but didnt want to take care of them either!!#im pissed off!!! im tired!!!!!!!!#i need to know im not going batshit here for being pissed off!!!!!#the dogs are getting back to back problems and at least some of it would have been mitigated by oh.#i dont know. the bare minimum?????#at least if the plants had been taken care of i wouldnt have to wonder if theyd just gotten into them#or if its an actual problem like a mass or bite. but no now i dont know#and at this rate were going to waste money going to the vet every fucking week

Good ideas that you can do for yourself at the moment:
Make a playlist on Youtube of videos that'll be a good mood lifter. Whether it's cute animals or just a playlist of videos you know will make you crack up laughing.
Make a Discord channel in any servers you run for a similar purpose. Maybe allow other people to post as well, as a means of lifting their own moods up.
Rewatch an old series you were hyperfixated on in the past and haven't visited in a while but have overall fond memories about. Completely burying yourself in nostalgia can be dangerous if you go overboard with it, but sometimes you just need to go back to that point in your life and focus on other things for a short while.
#Hayley Speaks#None of this is a perfect solution to face current events head on#But I think we can all use a break or distraction

pretty please, my fellow progressives
Could we please all keep in mind that the concept of "The Jews In General, or A Specific Type Of Jew, Controls Education, Government, Media, and/or Banking", is a longstanding antisemitic trope?
And most of all, that it is false??
No, a marginalized group does not also control education, the government, the media, and/or banking?
No, Jews do not secretly control these things and just pretend to be marginalized? No, Jews have not secretly been accumulating power since the Holocaust, granted by too-generous gentiles, out of pity?
No, it isn't better if you just mean a specific subgroup or kind of Jews. It's still specifically Jews.
It's like when people who hate trans/queer people are fine with rich white cis gay men. So they think it's not bigoted to blame "people with blue hair and pronouns" for the downfall of society.
We all know this means, "I only see some of you as human like me. You have to speak and act a certain way to count. Everyone in your group has to pass a test to get into the Good group."
Doesn't work.
Sure, it gives them plausible deniability to the people who matter to them. But everyone else can see exactly how they feel.
We've all known for years that it's bad to think of a marginalized group as having some "good ones." Rein it the heck in, please.
Because YES, all of those examples are ones I've seen implied, or stated outright, over and over, within the progressive community. This month alone.
#antisemitism#anti-semitic#yes this is about how gentiles use zionism#yes this is about how fast it went from 'this isn't NECESSARILY antisemitic' to 'this ISN'T antisemitic'#yes this is about claiming that we claim antisemitism to deflect valid criticism#yes this is part of a larger pattern of violating every progressive standard but only for jews#none of us would ever say 'people are just claiming misogyny to deflect valid criticism'#we would never claim that trans people secretly control or “influence” the government#we would never treat Ukrainians like “'noble savages” who need us to speak for them#but we treat Palestinians like “noble savages” who need us to speak for them#we know to center the people affected and uplift their voices in every other situation#but in this situation we ignore the fact that we're supporting palestinians by talking ABOUT them#we swallow far-right Palestinian propaganda channeled through diaspora organizations#while Palestinians in Gaza demand completely different solutions and support#zionists echo Palestinian solutions and experiences because we know people in Israel and Palestine#and we get told we love genocide or just blocked#this is how Hamas propaganda is designed to work. Hamas has systematically silenced Palestinians for 18 years and now it's all you know#it is genuinely terrifying to see the entire progressive community sound exactly like the alt-right while it absolutely insists it's not#we also know to center marginalized people's voices about what harms them -- except the Jews?#honestly I think that progressives listened before Oct 7 and that the “no we just mean ZIONISTS are evil” has done wonders to reverse that#let's be real the zionists-not-jews trope comes from Hamas too#all it had to do was claim it definitely meant Zionists not Jews and that it was the Palestinian resistance and progressives flocked to it#its fighters were calling home from the massacre to boast about how many Jews they had killed. it has not changed.#i suppose that the zionists-not-jews thing gave freedom to unexamined antisemitism that people felt guilty about#but oh my god it caught on like absolute wildfire#wall of words

Bruce will say Dick's the best man he's ever known and then not make him his best man make it make sense.
#this is a shit post i don't actually care lmao#i meeean i do but i don't#bc i think dick and clark equally deserve to be the best man#and i feel like since dick has siblings then it wouldn't seem fair for him to have a role like that#although none of the other siblings were invited to bruce's bachelor party soooo#wait i have a solution#bruce and clark just need to marry each other with dick officiating the wedding

Since Trudy is partially organic, is she going to die if she doesn't get charged? Because presumably the robot bits are supplying oxygen and nutrients to the meaty bits?
#charged with battery twice -> not regularly. probably a backup solution for a power outage. meaning it might b critical to keep her charged.#I know none of this is intended or supposed to matter I'm just having fun theorising#dndads spoilers#dndads#dndads s3 spoilers#dndads s3

Part of why I hate this fandom's take on Autobots vs Decepticons is ppl (mainly 'con fans honestly) who can't have any nuance of the situation whatsoever and love to write plots like "oh the humans are racist and abusive towards Cybertronians so this is how Megatron is right" no actually I don't think colonialism/imperialism and racism are justified so long as you can point the finger and say "they were the aggressors first" or "their hands are no cleaner than ours bc their society sucks too" sorry. Please come up with better sociopolitical narratives in your war story.
#squiggposting#i'm too tired to like actually care about this any more#and ppl's fandom takes don't necessarily represent their IRL views#but i'm just like. oh so i see that you want to write mature stories with politics and dealing with bigotry. that's cool!#now do it in a way that actually refutes bigotry and makes some sort of attempt at resolution#bc 'oh humans are just as bad and evil so it's fine if we colonize them' isn't the pro-con take ppl think it is lkdsfjlsdkfs#honestly this is what john barber got right in his story even tho the politics in his became overbearing#at least he's like the one dude who rightfullly pointed out 'uhhh organics have history with cybertronians that makes them very justified#'in not trusting them'#but my mistake is expecting the average 'con fan to disengage from the 'revolution' part to talk about the racism and imperialism lmao#if ppl weren't cowards they would be able to write characters as problematic and bigots and imperialists#but still show their humanity and point out how the cycle of retribution needs to end at some point#and how killing everyone who ever did anything bad (esp for a race as long lived as theirs) isnt a sustainable model of society#that's my PROBLEM man like stop being COWARDS acknowledge that your heroes can be shitty ppl#instead of framing things as good guys vs bad guys and then framing absolution as being only for the good guys#what if good and bad didn't exist and we were all shitty in some way and none of us inherently deserve forgiveness. what then#what if you wrote a story where you had to deal with the reality of rehabilitating ppl who have genuinely done horrible things#what if you wanted to rehabilitate society but realized the majority of ppl in it are monsters. what then?#do you only extend forgiveness and peace to the ppl who got thru with no moral compromises?#do you want to kick the majority/almost all of your race to the curb and give them no mercy/second chances?#what if ppl wrote stories where sociopolitical issues had no good/bad guys and no easy solutions#what if ppl had the courage and ethical fortitude to say 'everyone here sucks actually'#anyways sorry for the rant

Accidentally turned my soulmates AU fic into a logic puzzle.
#for myself not my readers#you see i have eleven soulmates here and they each have a set of ten soulmarks and none of them can have TWO soulmarks in the same place...#anyway. i have a spreadsheet and a good-enough-for-now solution#will also have to do some editing though because my current wip is not quite mathematically possible#these things happen

Went on a date yesterday and we were talking about batman and his favorite was Nightwing and when I said mine was Red Hood, he was like 'he kills people D:'
Yeah dude that's why he's cool.
#i had to pretend that i had i was a normal fan#and not into a very specific niche of batman :/#that if jason was to stop killing (in Gotham or everywhere) that it should be on the grounds that none of his killing fixed the larger issu#cuz gotham is cursed and that there will always be someone worse#and even then he would still kill for a solution but the reason he stopped for real is because of the love he has for his father :/#anyway it was a good date

I wonder if the writing team was different between season 3, 4 and 5. each season has a different feel and it's really off-putting
#season 3 felt awkward entirely and I really disliked it#4 was like returning to the roots but they were trying to add more depth?#and 5 is such an enigma#like okay there's only two episodes and there'll only be two more#but they have odd vibes#the episodes aren't bad at all. I don't dislike them#but they're not memorable?#things happen in them but it feels like nothing happened at all#it's a whole load of Nothing#it feels so oddly slow and empty and I have no idea how to place that feeling#it's as if all the characters are speaking more slowly too?#the jokes aren't as cringe but none of them really land#the entire episode feels slow yet is over before anything even occurs#like something is MISSING and I can't be the only person to feel that way????#this second episode was better#David got a New Trait™ which I love.... and it will never be explored because the show is overrrr#I wonder who M and J are? a mystery that shall never be solved?#rave ramblees#camp camp#it's like the conflict is miniscule. the solution is brushed over. and nothing wacky happens#I think that's it#it's missing the wild energy and wackiness
