I think the scariest part about Batman is the loyalty he inspires. Like this motherfucker has an army of children who might at any given time hate his guts, but are still 100% willing to throw hands for him if Bruce needs them to. And then there’s the Justice League, who also at any given time might hate his guts or find him insanely irritating and/or weird, but will also fall in line and listen to his plans if the need arises. And that’s like the most intense form of power someone can wield—voluntary obedience from people physically more capable than them.
#so I don’t hesitate to say bats is the most powerful in the JL bc yes Supes can level a mountain but won’t if Bats says to stand down#and I mean obviously this isn’t always the case there are exceptions#I’m just saying that it happens enough to be a relevant point of discussion#Bruce is a founding member of the JL and he’s got massive influence over them bc of that#+ he raised his kids to be elite fighters and tho they might not LIKE him all the time his kids do respect/love him#It’s not all about prep time for Bats it’s about knowing the strengths of others and being able to exercise his influence over them to—#—achieve a goal#dc#dc comics#batman#bruce wayne#batfamily#dick grayson#batfamily headcannons#jason todd#clark kent#tim drake#justice league headcanon#justice league#superman and batman#batman comics#bruce wayne headcanon

Shipping is fun and all but I swear every single time someone makes a comment, whether as a joke or in a legitimate analysis, about there being "no other explanation" for a pair's interactions, I lose just a bit more of my sanity
Like, no, you guys don't get it. Romance is not about the Amount of devotion, it's about the COLOR. the FLAVOR of it all. a character can be just as devoted to their platonic friend as they are to their romantic partner, and they don't love either of them more, just differently.
But because the majority of people still have it stuck in their minds that romance exists on the highest tier of love, I'm stuck seeing endless takes that boil down to "these two care about each other too much for it to NOT be romantic" as if that's the core determining factor to how literally any of this works
In conclusion: stop telling me that I don't understand the story if I don't interpret the leads as romantic, I am TIRED
#analysis#meta#miscellaneous#fandom#shipping#media discussion#amatonormativity#lgbtq#I feel like tagging any of the fandoms I was thinking of when writing this would be a little mean-spirited potentially#Disclaimer: no one has actually been telling me personally that I don't understand any story in particular#It's just that the way people tend to phrase their analyses feels unnecessarily targeted at the reader and that's just. not great#even if I agree with every other point they make

The thing that is striking me the most about this album is just how messy and human it is. She’s not holding anything back or trying to appear one way or another. She’s just letting it all out regardless of what anyone might say. She found that trying to be polished and keep all the ugly, imperfect, human stuff in to be stifling and just said fuck it I need to do this for me. This album was an exorcism for her.
#taylor swift#ttpd#the tortured poets department#very interesting to consider her whole good girl mindset she discusses in MA#like I get the critique that it needs some editing because 31 songs is a lot! however that would be undermining the point of it all#like the only way to move forward is to get it all out and free yourself from it

** the last two options exist because I know there will be great debate about which Three Days Grace/Linkin Park song should be on here
#polls#discussion#for me it's absolutely Every time we touch and animal I have become#hands down#also if you watched Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy AMVs there's a strong chance you saw my youtube channel at some point if it was pre2011#I had a bunch of videos with a few thousand views a piece :)#I did naruto later on too but kh/ff was more niche

I always think it's funny whenever I post about an issue that directly affects me and someone responds with "you're an idiot that doesn't know what you're talking about" and I have to be like. Hello. This is my demographic. Do you see this label here? Guess who falls under it OH RIGHT it's me. Maybe I like. Have some amount of idea of what I'm talking about considering this is sampled directly from my life experiences. Just a thought.
#This is besides the point that I don't think I should have to whip out a label just to prove that I'm right#Not just bc there's ppl who are wrong about shit who still fall under that label#See: antiblack black ppl and misogynist cis women#But also bc like. No actually you don't get to demand my personal information just to measure if I have more arguing power#If you disagree with me then you should widen your information search and obtain information from many sources under the same label#And then make a determination of if I'm right or wrong#Otherwise you get the 'well kanye's black and he said-' responses#Whereas if these folks had actually looked into kanye's controversies they'd see that his antiblackness has been discussed for yeeeeears

Flower Empowered.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#wei wuxian#lan wunian#The absolute chaos that ensued when Lan Wangji showed up...those girls went wild.#We have to give kudos to narration that takes the form of a bunch of suitor seeking ladies.#They were so loud about being here for the hotties and whispering gossip. You go girls.#Wei Wuxian most likely just picked up a already tossed flower to throw. Second hand flowers...are still flowers I suppose.#Can you imagine if LWJ had allergies? Poor lad.#Okay it's time for the real gritty discussion point. The one everyone is waiting for me to talk about:#So...from where we are in the timeline...what the hell is WWX supposed to be wearing?#I'm serious. Put all the fanart out of your brain for a moment.#We are post burial grounds and sunshot campaign so he's had his little goth moment reveal.#*BUT* he is still with the Jiang sect. And by proxy of this flashback talking about his disrespect - they never bring up his attire.#meaning he is likely in some kind of Jiang Purple.#Continuity wise it really feels like this scene should have been *before* the burial mounds.#I understand why it's post - we need to build up on the mystery of how he became the YLLZ.#But also his personality feels way more 'pre-burial mounds WWX'. I think this was probably a 'I don't want to kill my darling' scene.#(The Phoenix mountain flashback is a lot of people's 'darling'. I am knowingly putting myself in the line of fire here).#I'm willingly putting him in Wen Qing's borrowed cloak and assuming people take him wearing it as like...a war trophy.#Historians will revise this moment later on but for now he *is* a hero of that war.

Cass should try dating impulse next, just to complete as much of the yj core four set as she can (and annoy tim)
I love bart allen a lot but i think it would never happen lol
#cassandra cain#tim drake#bart allen#dc impulse#young justice#comic#comics#dc#dc comics#ask#2025#for the record at this point tim and cass arent siblings yet. but i dont think she would date him either#number one hes with steph obviously but also i doubt she looks fondly on that time he called her unexpectedly hot in the babsgirl suit lol#tim.....#its actually likely she knew who bart was at this point bc she was aware of superboy such she could immediately id him in civvies but anywa#<- correction: she recognized kon becuase they met in superboy 85#i dont think she was attracted to kon and perhaps not to men at all. i think she went out with him bc he made the first move and hes#notably attractive ie hes a teen icon. a good guy to experiment with heterosexuality with#i think shes much less likely to date a guy at all if shes already dated cassie in this (ig) au#casskon#casscass#<-discussed

I have some curiosity about how marionette acted before fu’s death. Was she her normal self until fu died and she just snapped or was she already in a downward spiral and fu just accelerated it to its conclusion?
She was already hugely stressed out, then the memories of Chat Blanc caused a large amount of her trauma to kind of double down - now she had a visualization of what things could be like if she failed, after all, and those images don't leave you - then when Fu lost all his memories, of which she blames herself for, she started to rapidly decline, as it was very much like losing a loved one AND she was losing the only adult she could discuss her superhero stress with.
Lila saw how reserved Marinette was becoming and stabbed the last nail in the coffin by starting rumors about her that Alya tried to confront Marinette about. Marinette was too exhausted to defend herself, and tried to just brush things off, but Alya took that as confirmation that Mari was acting as badly as Lila said, and from there - with someone she considered a close if not THE closest friend - leaving her behind, Marinette galvanized herself.
(not long after that, Bunnix tried to approach her and do damage control, but she was too heavy handed, pushing Marinette further from everyone. things haven't been the same since.)
#replies#the timeline is a bit scattered#we've seen most of this in flashbacks or discussed between characters#but marinette's slow fall from Positive Sunlight to Black Hole Of Depression was fairly slow#but it gained speed the more pressure was added#she's still the same marinette she used to be btw#but being so beaten down can really switch a person's gears#at points in this chapter we'll see the person she used to be shining through like slits of sunlight through shutters#and it will utterly enchant those who havent seen it before owo

why are people so abnormal about female body hair…. i’m aware body hair isn’t the most pressing feminist issue at the moment but the amount of times i will see a video of a women online and go to the comments, just to see everyone telling her she’s gross or to shave? most of the time i don’t even notice she has body hair and 99% of the time it’s completely irrelevant to the topic of the video 🙄 only wanting a woman who is completely hairless is weirdo behaviour idc
#shaving#feminism#women#discussion#this is such a lukewarm take but just needed to rant a little#based on an ig reel i saw recently#the woman had the tiniest bit of pit hair and everyone in the comments was losing it#it wasn’t even a focal point of the video#everyone be normal about female body hair challenge GO#it’ll be the same men who preach about wanting a natural#i don’t want body hair to be considered sexy just normal#edit: i meant to put natural woman in the second to last tag before this one

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !
Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)
I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!
someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)
uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE
#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 4 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 4 spoilers#mel is so cute but mal fits with the rest of the draconias better#eng version no you were supposed to save me not make things MORE confusing#anyway raverne huh#that uh. that sure feels like it's supposed to evoke raven doesn't it.#what does it mean WHAT DOES IT MEAN#hold on i'm going to flail around embarrassingly about anime character theories now#(okay first a disclaimer: i do think we need to sit down as a fandom at some point)#(and have a discussion about exactly what is actual canon versus meta speculation versus jokes)#(because i think there has been. some confusion. over that re:crowley and raverne specifically)#(but i do feel justified in being like THEY ARE PROBABLY CONNECTED SOMEHOW RIGHT?! right now)#like i really don't think it's as simple as crowley being raverne but with memory loss or something#(and if they pull that on us i'm going to need an EXTREMELY good explanation to go with it to justify that)#they've gone out of their way several times now to make a point about them acting and sounding different and it feels very intentional to m#(and once again: i super 100% absolutely do not believe that lilia wouldn't recognize him with the top half of his face covered)#i just think the contradictions are a lot stronger than the connections right now but there ARE some connections and i'm 👀ing at them#to be fair the connections are mostly meta like crowley being diablo/raverne being evocative of raven#also the general 'raverne mysteriously disappeared and apparently had distinctive eyes' thing#versus 'crowley's past is unknown and he never shows his eyes'#(i will argue that crowley DOES seem to have some kind of canon connection to briar valley)#(since he is clearly some sort of fae and the masks are a briar valley thing)#and that is kinda it right now isn't it#okay hold on i had to delete some tags because i used too many (thanks tumblr for letting me know and not just vanishing them OH WAIT)#so tl;dr: i'm in the 'crowley is connected to raverne somehow but it's more complicated than just him being in disguise' camp personally#but that will probably change as we get more info and also don't take this as an anti-speculation thing because i love theories HOORAY

I know some people have unfathomable beef with the term but i really don’t see the issue with transmascs describing their specific experiences with societal mistreatment and persecution as “transandrophobia”, like i think it’s good to be able to discuss specific experiences and articulate the problems you’re facing actually.
#my stuff#literally the main opposition to it i’ve personally seen is that it’s a psyop or w/e to try and ignore that transmisogyny is a thing#or that it implies men as a class are persecuted despite y’know. the patriarchy#and i think those points ignore A: The same ppl IVE seen talking about transandrophobia ALSO talk abt transmisogyny bc solidarity forever#n B: Men may not be an oppressed class but there are unique things that suck about being perceived as a man by others#or having that perception be conditional or vital to your physical safety#i remember what it was like being a terrified tgirl in the men’s locker room trying not to trip the fag radar#i remember how fucking isolating it is for non-men to treat you like a threat or a predator for existing#those things massively suck and transmascs ABSOLUTELY should be able to discuss them and how those experiences are shaped by their transiton#and the degree to which their masculinity or lack thereof#-real or perceived impacts the transphobia they face#everyone having a fucking mortal kombat linguistics hernia over it shutuppppppppppp#trans

The thing about Buffy is that it's been thoroughly established that she doesn't do casual sex. She rejects guys in high school who move too fast too soon, is devastated when she find out there isn't anything emotional between her and Parker, and makes no non-magical attempt to sleep with people she isn't in a relationship with
So option 1 is that she's decided Spike, of all people, will be the first time she has casual, no-feelings sex. Or, option 2, she knows they have some weird fucked up relationship but doesn't want to say it out loud
#btvs#spuffy#buffy/spike#for the sake of discussion we're ignoring how this writing is informed by 90s purity culture#the question then becomes when did it start#what point was the 'beginning'?#because if she waits to have sex that also means theres a period time where they were emotionally entangled but not seriously enough to fuc#buffyposting#nat chat
