"My sister, wise and insightful, points out to me furthermore that Velvet Brown and most other horse girls have a close relationship to a specific horse—The Pie, Sunlight, Moonlight, Solovey, Rhoha, etc.—that displaces the need for a human romance with its intimacy, and without the girl incurring any of the restrictive expectations of a heteronormative marriage. It is a queer relationship in the academic sense. In fact, so prevalent is this particular reading of the horse girl that there is evidently a whole academic tradition of moralizing the 'pony-mad girls' of fiction and reality as subjects with a displaced or deviant sexual fixation on horses that could derail their transitions into 'normal' heterosexual adolescents. So there you have it, we asked ‘What’s a horse girl?’ and we got our answer: Perverts, Your Honor!"
—Kristen Patterson, "How the Horse Girl Became Our Most Enduring (and Queerest) Archetype of Girlhood"

Dick, deadpan: You hid a racoon in your room.
Jason, crouched by a sleeping racoon currently sleeping on a pillow. Theres scratches all over his arms and legs. He doesn’t seem bothered: yeah? What ya gonna do about it?
Dick: Un-hide? The goddamn racoon in your room?
Jason: But I’ve named him.
Dick: Well, un-name him.
Jason: He’s Barty.
Dick: I don’t care.
Jason: …
Jason: We can use him to fuck with Bruce.
Dick: …
Dick: Would Barty like some food?
#Dick walking into Damian’s room: I’m not even gonna ask.#Damian curled around a possum. He’s covered in scratches but does not seem to mind: I have named her Daffodil.#Dick: *violent flashbacks*#like who do you think told Damian about all these animals?#I’d say Jason used to tell him all about the animals in Gotham and how to befriend them#I mean the scavengers gotta keep together and you sure as hell ain’t gonna fight a stray dog for food#batman#dc comics#dc#batfam#batfamily#robin#jason todd#red hood#Damian Wayne#damian al ghul#league of assassins#incorrect quotes#mine

These lines (first from the films, thereafter from the books) taught me something profoundly essential about how to be there for a friend, a lover, or a loved one when they are consumed by despair, weighed down by grief, or overwhelmed by the weight of mental torment. It taught me that some burdens are sacredly personal; untransferable tasks that each of us must face in our own time and way.
Yet, while we cannot take their pain or carry their burden for them (no matter how much we wish we could), there is something else we can do. While we cannot lift their burden, we can lift them. We can carry their weary body, their weary heart, as they bear the weight of their pain. In doing so, we offer them a sanctuary — a place of care and safety, where they can begin to confront their hurt without the fear of being alone in its gaze.
While the pain may be theirs to bear, the journey through it need not be traveled in solitude.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, I love you.

#aromantic#actually aromantic#aro#aro pride#love loses#good job everyone. im so proud of us <2#edit (12/31): also pls do not quote 'not all loves are romantic/sexual' at me#1. aros have always been the first to dissect the definition of love. we are likely to know that before you.#2. are we gonna keep pretending that aros aint only an afterthought to the 'love wins' and 'love is love' crowds.#3. im loveless aro. i do not care for love whether its romantic platonic or familial etc etc.#one can do good w love. one can also do evil w love. love =/= morals. stop acting like it is.

The United States has always been a terrible place to be sick and disabled. Ableism is baked into our myths of bootstrapping and self-reliance, in which health is virtue and illness is degeneracy. It is long past time for a bedrock shift, for all of us.
Long covid has derailed my life. Make no mistake: It could yours, too.

"In other words: there is not some correct answer. You are not responsible for finding it. Your feeling of responsibility is a shibboleth, a reinforcement of your tragically limited role as a consumer. There is no authority and there should be no authority. You are off the hook. You are inconsistent. You do not need to have a grand unified theory about what to do about Michael Jackson. You are a hypocrite, over and over. You love Annie Hall but you can barely stand to look at a painting by Picasso. You are not responsible for solving this unreconciled contradiction. In fact, you will solve nothing by means of your consumption; the idea that you can is a dead end. "The way you consume art doesn't make you a bad person, or a good one. You'll have to find some other way to accomplish that."
—Claire Dederer, Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma

Bruce finds out the reason he and Clark didn't date so long is because Clark figured he was an incurable floozy who was allergic to commitment. So now every time there's a rumour, a hint of any of that or someone that would bother Clark, Bruce goes overboard.
Clark, spotting the man coming off the elevator at the Daily Planet and doing a double take: "Bruce what are you doing here?"
Bruce: "You weren't answering my calls."
Clark, slightly worried: "Yeah I got busy. Is everything--"
Bruce: "Whatever you read already, it's all lies--"
Clark: "Say what now?"
Bruce: "I was holding her jacket for her, that's it. She's dating my cousin, okay, and they've been together for like four months--"
Clark: "Slow down, what are you even talking about?"
Cat Grant, suddenly walking over: "Mr.Wayne! How fantastic to run into you like this--"
Clark: "Oh no, no, Cat he's just about to leave."
Cat: "--care to comment on rumours you're expecting a child with--"
Bruce, loudly, while pointing at Clark: "I love this man."
Clark: *turning red*
Bullpen:
Cat Grant: "Well my day's getting better and better."
#Clark manages to repair the whole mess and soundly lectures Bruce who solemnly vows never do pull that shit again#Cat literally had to be paid off#The rest of the Bullpen remembered that Bruce Wayne was their boss's boss#batman#Superman#Ooc#Clark kent#Bruce wayne#Superbat#personal#Batfanon#incorrect quotes#Idk how else to tag this to keep people and their pitchforks away from my inbox#One of the funniest (and most out of character) scenarios I can presently think of#OUT OF CHARACTER#Lmao#Now I look insane#Look at what you've done to me lmao
