2 things I've learned about the batman fandom:

1. Don't ignore canon

2. Except the canon I personally want you to ignore

Whether it's intentional or not, a woman's meaningful rejection-- usually a marriage proposal, often on moral grounds--is a romance trope. And it's not a "fixing him" romance trope either: my two favorite examples, Lizzie from P&P and Margaret from North & South, are ones where the woman's objections are a combination of valid and invalid points.* And the rejections lead these male characters to intense soul-searching and reevaluation of what they're doing, to "fixing" themselves. They make demonstrable changes in their lives, simply because her opinion means that much.

It's a romance trope. And it's one that 1x07 plays into. Everything stops when Sydney walks out -- and Carmy appears shattered by this rejection. He is not reacting the way you do to an employee leaving or even a friend. And then he does what Darcy and Thornton do, which is that he reevaluates everything in light of why she felt she had to do that. And commits to not driving her away like that again - a commitment that--despite him flaking and being increasingly ill and dysfunctional in S2--he keeps trying every means he can think of** to live up to.

It's delicious. It centers the heroine as someone who, even when she is not perfectly in the right, has things to say that matter more than anything else. Her words carry weight, her decisions too. She's not a patient, suffering saint or meriting consideration in that way; she's a human being with dimensions and complexities, and yet incredibly important. This person will reshape his life to repair the damage between them. He'll even reshape his life not yet knowing that she will return -- just because she said so, and her word matters that much.

*people (hi reddit) have been too shitty hammering on 1x07 as somehow Sydney's fault to go into detail about exactly who did what. I see Sydney as being majority in the right and *absolutely* in the right to walk out, so I'll say I don't see her as being forced by the narrative to be flawless, and that I like that, and leave it at that

**except therapy and meds. bro! bro. bro. DUDE. get some fucking therapy

Erika "Have you heard Tristan playing, Elise? He's quite good at it, too."

Elise "I know!"

Darius Would be weirder if I didn't invite him, so whatever...

Esther "Got the invitations handled, pup?"

Darius "Yeah."

Esther "I'm glad that you changed your mind about having a party. It'd be a shame to leave this kind of big steps uncelebrated!"

Darius "Ugh, just—no speeches. And I already invited everyone I wanted, so-"

Esther "You won't see me even glancing at the phone, that's a promise. Even though Will might get upset to not see you growing-"

Darius "Mom."

I don't think you get to dodge accountability for your followers when you don't even tell them to knock shit off.

Like you're not responsible for them, no. But like. If you're not even gonna IMPLY that you're unhappy with their actions, you're kind of encouraging it. At the very least you're turning a blind eye to it.

Literally just "And don't harass her over this shit" is a pretty easy statement.

people that enjoy dragging Taylor just get pissed when karma shines it’s light on her and solves whatever obstacle or issue was vexing her.

What if I said the amount of haters she had in 2016 isn’t any different from the amount she has now, in 2023 they just buy her concert tickets cause it’s trendy

How come everyone is pretending the pjo movies were good ??? I keep seeing people being like “but the movie had *this* and it was Way Better than the series” when the scene they’re talking about was like a scene they turned into a meme and wasn’t actually that good.

[raziraphale]

my mother has me blocked on fb so I can't see her posts but like ever since the recent hard focus on queerphobia from far right types I've been giving myself a headache wondering what awful shit she must be posting rn. She's definitely posting the most vile shit equating queer people to pe/dos and ending it with "I'm allowed to say it and it's not bigoted because my children are queers and they still talk to me sometimes" like ma'am I talk to you only on holidays as a favour to my brother who depends on you for tuition money. When he graduates I'm going no contact lol

((...yes. absolutely. but would a new aspect have to come into existence, to accommodate for a new god existing?))

okay. so, Santanak isn't the one who requested the deal, merely the one keeping it. and therefore the one who suffers if it's broken. at least in theory. and if the god of death dies, if it's even possible, then any eternity beyond the final heartbeat is forever changed for all of creation's creations.

that's. not great.

Indeed.

But...

We are destruction, are we not?

I have a confession to make.

This is gonna sound ridicilous, but I have never watched supernatural. My boyfriend did.

Now, he is the most straightest white man ever, and he watched it because it was popular and he loved it. And because he is just a basic straight guy, he never knew about the online discourse surrounding the show. Never heard of the Destiel ship, and he looked very confused when I tried to explain it to him. He's never even heard of ships.

So, when we sat down to watch it, he was very excited to show me one of his favourite series, Supernatural. We watched the first episode. Then came the scene, where their mother (?) was hanging on the ceiling (??) and started burning out of nowhere (????). And I don't know why, but that scene suprised me so much, I got a laughflash. I just couldn't stop laughing. Something about that scene, their mother hanging on the ceiling like some kind of weird humanoid spider, and spontaneously bursting into flames, was just so absurd and inherently comedic to me, I was cry-laughing.

Meanwhile, my boyfriend was just sitting beside me, watching me with absolute disgust. How dare I laugh at such a tragis moment?? He just silently turned off the show and said we will never watch it again. No matter how hard I apologised, he has never attempted to show me his Favourite Show, Supernatural, ever again.

my roommates are making me watch s*pernatural with them and this is basically how its going so far

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

Is this anything

[thestuffedalligator]

So usually when an imaginary friend is a real thing in a story, it’s either a demon or a ghost or some supernatural boogeyman that probably wants to eat the kid they’ve befriended (Mama, a couple of the Paranormal Activity movies), or “imaginary friends” are just treated as a real thing in the setting, and if a child just thinks hard enough they can manifest a friend into existence (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Happy).

And somewhere in the middle is an area where the imaginary friend in question is real and they are supernatural, but they aren’t malevolent, and they aren’t entirely honest about what they are. Like maybe they’re a fairy or a god or some kind of boggle from mythology, but they just got caught by a six year old and they don’t have time to get into it, so they just go “…Yes. I’m your imaginary friend. We haven’t met. How do you do.” And then they stick around because they do love this kid, and if you’re a boggle from mythology in the modern day good food is really hard to come by.

And at some level. That’s what I think Hobbes is.
