bruce characterization is so hard because he really has been written all over the place. generally i try to think of him as a man who really does mean well, but whose drive for justice and unprocessed traumas can blind him to his shortcomings and lead to him inadvertently hurting his children. i also think that comics are a medium that doesn't usually lend itself well to character growth, because they to maintain a certain status quo to keep telling stories from, and so the bruce in my mind would honestly develop and learn from his mistakes a lot better than canon bruce actually does, because for someone who espouses the values he does, it makes no sense for him to completely stagnate, right. he's a puzzle you can put together in a lot of different ways and it's fascinating but also can be such a pain because of all the different books writing him in so many different ways, but characterizing him solely as an asshole is just boring and reductive imo...

...but all of that said i still think if martha kent ever found out how he talked to kon in sb94 #85 or in those issues of batgirl '00, she should be allowed to beat his ass with a pitchfork. yknow?

I can respect the hater mentality

sometimes it does kill me that most of the booktube/booktok/twitter drama doesn't really trickle over to this site because I need more people to know about the white woman who pretended to be Asian to try to get published and claimed her name was Kim Chi

Racism sure is something cuz I deadass would have not figured Nico Parker, actress playing live action Astrid, was biracial. I didn't plan on giving this much of a glance 😒

But yall let racism take over you like an illness, refusing to go get that checked, and now the most white passing of biracial Black girls ain't enough

Finding out that my former friend who wrote clean regency is a Republican was somehow more shocking than finding out that another author who writes dark mafia romance based off of children's movies is a republican

I mean like, to be fair, dark mafia girl also runs a publishing house that's a literal pyramid scheme and writes the worst sex scenes I've ever seen in my life but like

The other one I was literally on my knees like no baby girl, please... What would Lord farthing say? We were supposed to talk about Victorian children plucking rabbits together baby, not talk about how you think we should throw the children of immigrants out of the country.

She was like "we used to mail children...maybe we could do that now" LIKE GREAT HISTORICAL FACT BUT WHAT THE FUCK

as excited as i initially was to have a sapphic couple be the main romance for one of the bridgeton girls, reality just kicked in. casting a dark skinned black woman to play a racebent AND now genderbent version of a white male character, particularly a white male character that’s beloved by the fandom, is gonna bring on levels of misogynoir i’m scared to witness. masali’s comments, as well as all of the comments under the posts from the author and the official bridgerton page are already filled with hatred.

and how much do you want to bet no one in production says shit about all of this and comes to her defense?

Tbh, nothing has made me sympathize more with Kipperlilly Copperkettle than her anger issues.

Cause anger is an emotion we feel when we're missing something. When we need something and can't get it. It's a balm to make us feel better when things don't go our way.

When things aren't fair.

“Blood of Hercules” mentions Medusa several times and it’s implied she’ll be important in later books. I’m absolutely terrified of what Jasmine Mas will do to Perseus.

A woman will do something and I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and a man will do something and automatically I assume the worst about his character
