Rant Time bc ???

Not even gonna put this one on my Kamen Rider sideblog bc I gotta let the world know how autistic I am about these bugmen but I cannot get over how good Shin Kamen Rider is. It's so fucking good and I think about it literally any scene in passing and I start tearing up. Not even just the emotional bits!!! (Those fuck me up though). The transformation sequence, the fight scenes, the fuckin!!! Suit!!!! The goddamn suit!!!! It's so wonderful seeing so much love put into a superhero movie that I almost felt like I was going INSANE with how every other marvel movie just... didn't. Every other Avengers, Iron Man, fucking Ant Man just doesn't even feel like their about super heroes to me!!! It's celebrities, special effects, cheap jokes. Why are the good movies the exception to the rule and not the fucking standard? Superheroes have been my special interest since day one. I love their costumes, their stupid little problems, their emotional complexities, their cool fights, their lame sidekicks. Maybe I'm a freak but it genuinely pisses me off when a superhero movie barely has: -the hero save people -the hero wear their funy mask -hot supervillains that are fun to watch. Getting into Kamen Rider feels like a bittersweet breath of fresh air. Many Kamen Rider shows/media have their only problems, it's not a perfect monolith. But fucking hell, man. It feels great watching superheroes be superheroes again.

[fictional-orphan-smackdown]

ROUND 3, MATCH 5!

All propaganda and what each competitor is from under the cut

Trafalgar D. Water Law (Once Piece)

Law is a genocide survivor who saw his parents' dead bodies along with experiencing a whole bunch of other messed up stuff (his sister burning to death, the people of his country being shot for being poisoned by their own government, being terminally ill, escaping the genocide by hiding under a pile of dead bodies, etc etc). After all this shit, he eventually got forcibly adopted by this one guy and dragged around the world looking for a cure for his illness. Right when Law started to trust and love his new caretaker, he is also brutally murdered in front of him. Law's life goal for the next decade is to get revenge on the person who killed his adoptive father. Vote for him bc he needs a goddamn win for once in his life. He is the people's princess and the narrative's favorite punching bag. Also, his depressed, PTSD-ridden autistic swag and scoliosis realness have captivated me body and soul

His biological parents were killed (before his eyes, by the governement) when he was 10(?). He then joined a bunch of pirates, knowing he wouldn't have much time (and will) left to live anyway. There he was sort of adopted by the Big Bad Pirate's brother, who managed to save his life, only for said brother to be killed (more or less before Law's eyes, by the Big Bad Pirate), when he was 13. You could say he was orphaned twice.

He’s literally got the double orphan special (Parents died and then the guy who took him in after them died too) that’s a 50% increase in orphannedness above your standard orphan. He’s also cool as fuck.

Law's parents were already on death row along with him and his younger sister due to a disease that shortens the life span of a person. The disease can only be passed down genetically and has afflicted everyone in the town that he has grown up in. Due to the sudden outbreak and unknown nature of the disease to the rest of the world panicked and the government closed off his city, killing everyone there. That is how his first set of parents died when he was 10, I think. Still then Law would later join a pirate crew where he would eventually be taken away 2-3 years later by Corazon, marine working undercover as a pirate in order to take down this brother, who is the captain of crew Law joined. Corazon took him in order to cure Law's disease which he still had and to get him away from Doflamingo, his brother. Over the course of 6 months the two became close with Corazon essentially becoming a father figure to Law. I am simplify this but at some point of Doflamingo catches on to Corazon being a double agent and finds him. Doflamingo then proceeds to find Corazon and shoot him in front of a chest that Law was hiding in.

Law has faced many hardships since he was a child, but used his experiences to become an extremely powerful doctor. His pirate crew theme and his Devil Fruit ability are all owed to his adoptive father. Law acts really gruff and serious most of the time, initially seeming like a cool, calculating character and feared swordsman… but one second around the Straw Hats and you quickly see just how silly he really is. He hates bread. He collects coins. He is obsessed with ninjas and superhero comic books. In one arc he just fucked around with his powers and INVENTED harpies and centaurs. Oh, and his First Mate is a polar bear. What could be better than that?

The government ordered to kill everyone in Law's country due to everyone getting "fantasy lead poisoning" disease, which was wrongfully thought to be contagious stroked. Law's family was living at the hospital when they got attacked, his parents (who were doctors) got killed and the hospital got set on fire with his little sister inside. He managed to fled the country hiding in a pile of corpses and ended up joining a pirate crew lead by Doflamingo. Law knew he had the disease and it was going to kill him in three years. Doflamingo's brother, Rosinante took Law hospital to hospital to find a cure but they always rejected him thinking the disease was contagious. Then they learned that someone had offered Doflamingo a devil fruit that could grant him immortality. The fruit could also cure Law so Rosinante stole it and made Law eat it. He then made sure Law could escape Doflamingo and got killed by his brother.

dude spent his childhood getting thrown out of windows, while dying from a deadly disease (that was eventually cured) but while he was still showing symptoms of the disease no one would go near him out of fear and disgust, save for his father figure.

nothing can ever go right for this man. its fucking hilarious in the series and makes for some wonderful angst content. i want everyone who has not watched or read One Piece to know that, for half of his 'main' arc, he's carried around like a potato sack by MULTIPLE people. he is a damsel in despair. he didn't even need to be carried, he honestly could've walked, but he had to save that energy so he could take the like 17 lead bullets out of him. he's always getting shot or thrown out a window and he's severely injured more often than not. he's also a doctor/surgeon, one that should be able to cure incurable diseases, yet his pathetic loserboy ass is too busy being emo to worry about the several gunshot wounds and internal bleeding. god help this man but also don't because honestly it's really fucking funny

Ok, FIRST, when he was a tiny frog-disecting little kid, him and his family and island contacted a disease equivalent to cancer BUT his fam didn't die from that. No, no, his parents got gunned down by the military and his little sis was burned alive with the rest of his house, so, yeah, very traumatic, horrific in a way that makes you very angry at yourself and life and want to oh I don't know, kill everyone and everything possible until the day you die, which won't be long because you have cancer after all. Later, after joining a mafia/cult/gang, Law meets Corazon who after like 2 years kidnaps him to try and get him healed and so they spend the next 6 months bonding, WEEEEEE!! Wait, no, NOT weeee because Cora who is now his father-figure DIES having protected and saved him, and thus bruv becomes orphaned not once, not thrice, but TWO very traumatic times! If this isn't an orphan, idk what is……

Anthony Lockwood (Lockwood and Co)

Lockwood (he's known by his surname mostly) is the mysterious, daredevil and charming founder of Lockwood and Co., a detective agency specialised in protecting people from angry -and sometimes sort of hungry- ghosts in a world where they're rampant. His agency is starting small despite Lockwood bragging it's the best in London but get more and more recognition as the series progress and the agents composing them meet success (when they're not on the verge of dying). Lockwood has open manners but hid his painful past from his coworkers to protect himself. He and George, the first teenager he recruited, are quite stunned by Lucy, a country girl who fled to London after disaster striked in her hometown. Thanks to her talent, she quickly becomes known as one of the best ghost fighter in London and finds her place in the small team despite having the same determination to hide her past than Lockwood, which draws him close to her, making George jealous, but Lockwood's manifest good skills in leadership and the three of them become fast friends while unravelling secret truths and risking their lives repeatedly

He has a lot of trauma and a lot of pain but he always smiles and always has a warm and polite attitude; he’s so protective of the ones he loves that it overrides his suicidal tendencies; at the end of the series he starts to heal from his past; he’s hot but has only two braincells.

[punkeropercyjackson]

Stephanie Brown has such fucking girlproblems.I'm being dead serious,not joking or mocking.Her dad was abusive emotionally and psychically and her mom was a drug addict who had to rely on her in a significant amount of places but when she recovered she was able to be a proper parent to her and there's a strong emphasis in their relathionship to them finding solidarity in being abused by the same man who had position of power over them as a husband and a father respectively.She's autistic and never learned how to mask so growing up until Robin 1993,she had no real friends and all the other kids thought she was a freak and isolated her on purpose when she's always been such a kind and upbeat person who does her best at everything

She turned to sexualizing herself and letting men exploit her because that's what society teaches girls entering puberty how you earn your worth and become a true woman.At only 15,she mocks a 14 year old Tim for being a virgin as she reveals she's now a teen mom.Her boyfriend who got her pregnant is implied to be 18/19 and SHE is shamed instead of him when she was a fucking child and even more vulnerable than normal children and he was GROWN.Tim has plenty of mistreatment thrown at him too but he's gotten praise and care Stephanie did has because he's a boy unlike her.Bruce literally picked on her as Batman and Robin and he still got to be with her in her last moments instead of her mom or her loving and protective boyfriend or her best friend who was first female friend she made fullstop and gaslight her about seeing her as a real Robin to save his own ass and NEVER EVER faces consequences for it

Almso NOBODY ever appreciates her instead of making fun of or hating her in-universe AND out of universe.Slade,the military member who's creator stated his core character is a pedophile who abuses kids even non-sexually,has more solo runs than her and is given more sympathy too.She's so much like Roy in personality and has her own homoerotic childhood superhero best friends relathionship too that parallels his and Dick's so much that 'Stephcass and Dickroy are the same ship in different font' should be a very common DC take but what excites people in him disgusts them with her and Roy isn't even allowed to be with the one he actually loves in favor of the man who ruined his life and comics history.Now isn't that ironic?Does how Jason treat him mean Roy is 'female-coded' now?

Like bffr-You as a woman stanning and especially being attracted to a male character dosen't magically mean he's a woman.And this ain't about transfems because this is peak cis fandom brainrot girl mentality and to white tboys,know that Stephanie is infinitely more interesting and trans swag filled than whatever basic white boy protag you claim is trans and make up a nonexistent personality for as you ignore canon queer poc and that Jason's cast is of women and characters of color with his story never being a trans metaphor but about poverty,trauma and mental illness.He's not for your bigoted lil asses and more importantly,Stephanie is not your jester.HER story is about girlhood and the suffering it brings but also the joy too.Stephanie Brown is my everything and she is to tons of other women as well,not just a nothing to you.Work on that shit instead of your smut wips

ARE THEY TRANS: GWEN STACY FROM THE SPIDER-VERSE

JUSTIFICATION: "I'll be genuinely surprised if nobody has submitted this one yet I mean, first of all look at her. Come on man. Thats sone tgirl swag if I've ever seen it. I've also seen so many transfems with her exact haircut in the second movie Her superhero outfit also has the trans flag colors-hell her entire DIMENSION has the trans flag colors. When she tells her dad she's Spiderwoman she glows the trans flag colors like are you kidding me Anyways, obvious allegory is obvious, having to hide your superhero identity = having to hide your trans identity because you're afraid of how people (especially your loved ones) will think of you She has a trans flag in her room too (I'm sure yall saw plenty of people getting mad about that one) and her dad has a patch of the trans flag on his uniform. Her dad is a COP, in what world does a COP have the trans flag on their uniform unless someone close to them is trans?? Ive seen people try and be like "um actually they only have that stuff because their universe's PETER was trans" but like. where the hell are you getting that from. where did that idea come from. not that he can't be but like genuinely, WHERE. if anyone here is trans it's Gwen come on guys Anyways lots to talk about here but there's plenty of posts out there going way more in depth on this than I ever could" - Anonymous

[alexanderwales]

I started watching Batman: Caped Crusader, which seems like it's really trying to capture a nostalgia market by being very similar in style to Batman: The Animated Series, and ... I think I just don't have it in me to enjoy this kind of vigilantism.

Batman is threatening people with bodily harm to get information out of them, and it's just ... this is world's greatest detective? Hanging people off the side of a building until they talk? I know it's his thing that criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot, but I just don't have the stomach for this particular brand of superhero. Inflicting suffering on a person to get information out of them is torture, and Batman doesn't get a free pass because he's got some childhood trauma. That the show endorses these methods by having the information be correct and the victim "deserve" it is enough for me to just sigh loudly.

I imagine the show gets better when it's monsters and freaks, people who have their own psychodramas and allegories, but I'm not sure I'm willing to give it the chance. Superheroes get shit for being fascist, and in this case, it feels very deserved. It's like the show is screaming "you know what would solve all the assuredly rampant crime? torture, violation of due process, a big strong man who was above the law, someone to hurt those inhuman scum".

There's a guy running away and Batman just punches him straight in the face. It's not really clear what his crime is, it's just a bunch of dudes loading boxes onto a truck. I went back to listen again, and they just say "the swag is too valuable to leave behind". Is it ... drugs? Weapons? Stolen goods? I don't understand why Batman is there, what justifies his intervention, why he feels the need to deck a guy who's running away. I mean, I do get it, Batman hates criminals, but is he just hurting criminals for the sake of it? As a deterrent? Is the message of the show "we should fuck up criminals, that will stop them from crime, the problem is that we haven't been nearly tough enough"? Because they say they have half the cops in the city on their payroll, so I don't understand the plan here. The implication is that these men would walk free if they were arrested, and again, it's not clear what their actual crime is. Batman just beats them up, and then ... I don't know.

I just can't do it, is what I'm saying. The part of my brain I'm supposed to turn off has malfunctioned, it's stuck in the "on" position.

They made Penguin a sexy woman though, so I guess points for that.

Autistic Anime Boys Side A Round 1 Match 2

Propaganda:

Gohan -

"Even though he has the potential to be the world's strongest fighter he'd rather study bugs. His rant about "super saiy-ants" in DBS: Superhero combined with his socially awkward behavior around people other than the main cast sealed the deal for me."

K1-B0 -

"KIIBO HAS SO MUCH AUTISTIC SWAG. It's hard for him to understand social cues and tones, he's also a cutie patootie. He may be a robot but I still think he should count. Robots are inherently neurodivergent coded to me sorry!!! Anyways he's just really sweet. He wants to understand other people but it's a bit difficult for him. He can seem like he's entirely logical and emotionless but he has like. A lot of feelings. A LOT. He just can't really express them all that well. Me and my friend were obsessed with this guy for years so that's gotta count for smth."

Transmasc Swag Polls- ROUND 1

Propaganda and other info under the cut.

CANONICITY LEVELS-

PHINEAS: Because I Said So ANYBODYS: Subtext/ Coded (1961 film)/ CANON Transgender Man (2021 film)

MEDIA? Phineas and Ferb, West Side Story (movies specifically)

PHINEAS PROPAGANDA- He has that tboy slouch and a voice that gives me gender envy. He’s the shortest of his friend group AND he has a side-shave. He’s an active parallel character to Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and we already know that HE’S trans. He created the most stereotypically “masculine” superhero and it just so happened to make him tall, strong, and have a deep voice. Also his sibling is Ferb. Lookat him. Lookat his autism eyes and pointy, pointy face and many-a creations. This boy is trans, I have no doubt in my heart. ANYBODYS PROPAGANDA- In the original, Anybodys is a tomboy who wants to join the Jets but can’t because they’re a girl. There’s a cut song where they sing about how they want to be a boy, they get upset when they’re called a girl, and towards the end, one of the other Jets refers to them as “buddy boy” to signal they’ve become one of them. In the 2021 version, they’re played by a nonbinary actor and it was confirmed they’re intended as transmasc. What Anybodys wants more than anything is to be seen as one of the boys in the Jets. The first part of the musical shows us how much they feel disconnected from the other gang members, and how they refuse to let Anybodys officially join the gang because they see them as a girl. After Riff dies and the Jets' second in command takes over, he makes a point to include Anybodys with the rest of the boys and calls them "buddy boy", which results in the clearest non-canon depiction of gender euphoria I've ever seen. In the 2021 remake, Anybodys is a trans man, and the movie touches on his issues finding acceptance in the Jets because of his gender (or so I've read in the plot summaries, I haven't actually seen this one). They're scrappy! They're sneaky! They don't back down from a fight, and the only thing they want more than being seen as one of the boys is to be helpful to the people the respect.
