BLOG POST NO. 4 - ALL ABOUT THE WAYNES
Remember that off-handed comment I made about moving into Gotham without proper research? Well, itā€™s more like no research at all because I just found out who the Waynes actually are.
For you see, I am what my friends lovingly (read: derogatorily) refer to as an internet hermit. Basically, what Iā€™m trying to say is that I have lived under a rock for basically my entire life. Well, at least when it comes to anything celebrity related. Hell, I donā€™t know much about Filipino celebrities, much less foreign ones. The only Filipino celebrities I bothered knowing the bare minimum about is BINI, and the only foreign actors I know are the ones who played in the Harry Potter series.
But back to my main pointā€” yes, I only just now found out about who the Waynes are.
Why? Because I literally share a class with one of them. Actually, scratch that, Iā€™m pretty sure I share a class with two of themā€”
So I did a little digging (read: my friends were appalled by how ā€œunculturedā€ I am, and forced me to sit through a 3 hour long lecture about Wayne Lore) and hereā€™s my thoughts.
First of all, Bruce Wayne, or ā€œBrucieā€ as the media likes to call him, is the biggest fucking teddy bear I have ever seen. Like seriously, if ā€œhead empty, no thoughtsā€ was a person, it would be him. Kinda sus (look Ray, internet slang!) to think heā€™s completely empty up there considering the fact that he, you know, runs one of the biggest enterprises in the entire world? The man is richer than Lex Luthor himself (yes, I know who he isā€” thank you Lan) and just keeps getting richer even with the amount of money he just seems to throw out everyday.
Honestly Iā€™d be inclined to believe heā€™s actually some sort of secret super genius whoā€™s just hiding behind a facade of stupidity just to lower everyoneā€™s guard, but at the same time, I, quite frankly, could not give a fuck. The man pays my scholarship, I donā€™t really care if heā€™s the human version of a koala or the second coming of Isaac Newton. As long as he keeps doing all the good that heā€™s doing, Iā€™m good. Overall, seems like a good guy and a nice hugger.
Next up is Richard Grayson-Wayne. Or, as literally everyone apparently calls him, ā€œDickā€. Like, seriously? I know this has probably been said so many timesā€” to the point where if you took all those times it was said by someone and turned it into an audio file, it would probably outlive the universeā€” but still. Really? Out of all the nicknames, you chose that?
And okay, maybe times were just different back then (shoutout to you old people out there), but was this guy so attached to the name that he just couldnā€™t be bothered to change it even when the modern day meaning for it was popularized? I mean, seriously, how many spittakes am I gonna have to go through every time my friend (hi Lan) says something along the lines of ā€œI have a thing for Dickā€. My friend knows exactly what the fuck heā€™s doing every time he says this sentence, because he never bothered to add the last name ā€œGraysonā€ to it. Like, I know youā€™re gay Lan, but come on. The closet is already made of fucking glass.
Other comments to make? That ass. Like seriously, he tries to hide it by wearing slacks but sir, we are not blind. Those seams are fighting for their lives every time you take a step.
Next one on the list is Cassandra Cain-Wayne. Thereā€™s honestly not much else I can say about her other than the fact that I think sheā€™s an absolute angel, and that Iā€™ve replayed videos of her ballet performances for maybe an hour? Thereā€™s just something about the way that she dances that just looks so mesmerizing. It reminds me of a swanā€” beautiful, graceful, and equally as deadly. No, seriously, have you seen angry swans attacking people? Those birds can be fucking terrifying. I donā€™t know what about her looks so dangerous, but she just does? To me? Itā€™s weird.
Iā€™m not saying sheā€™s a bad person or anything, Iā€™m just saying that in a scenario where someone tries to mug her, I donā€™t think it would be her whoā€™d end up with stitches. Which, honestly, I respect.
Next is Jason Todd-Wayne. The fucking brick house himself. I mean, come on, just look at one picture taken of him recently and tell me you did not stare for more than 10 seconds. This man is the definition of ā€œIf heā€™s a tree then Iā€™m a squirrelā€. Am I completely biased in this case? Maybe. Will I plead guilty? Over my dead fucking body.
The whole ā€œdisappeared for a weird amount of time, was assumed dead by the public for a while, then suddenly came back one day out of nowhereā€ situation aside, this guy is like the prime example of a glow-up. I donā€™t know what happened during those years he went missing, but he came back looking like a beefed up Princess Anna.
Chunk of muscle aside, there are also a few pictures of him hanging out with the kids that come by Marthaā€™s House (local homeless shelterā€” thanks WE), and rescuing kittens from trees, and honestly I think itā€™s so sweet. Itā€™s giving ā€œgap moeā€ and Iā€™m very much here for it.
Up next is Timothy Drake-Wayne, otherwise known as Tim (because who the fuck says Timothy nowadaysā€”). Now this guy is the reason why this entire post exists in the first place. Why? Because I literally saw him walk right into class and sit literally right next to me (which, now that I think about it, is kinda weird because we were in a lecture hall andā€” hello, thereā€™s literally 10 other seats in the same line as us?). Now, at first I didnā€™t really think anything of itā€” because duh, I lived under a rock remember? I had no idea who he was when he walked in, nor why everyone else in the room was staring at us like our heads were on fire (I checkedā€” they were not), but I was running on 2 hours of sleep and barely any caffeine so I couldnā€™t give two fucks.
Then this mf (look Ray, abbreviations!) turned to me and justā€” hands me a bottle of 5 hour energy? That he just took out of his bag?? Now donā€™t get me wrong, I was thankful and all that, because there was no way in hell I wouldā€™ve survived that class without more caffeine making my heart almost palpitate, but alsoā€” kinda weird? Didnā€™t think much of it anyway and just thanked him. We did introduce ourselves to each other, but only with our first names because, you know, who the fuck introduces themselves with their full names unless itā€™s the first day of class and your professor decided it would be great to ā€œget to know everyoneā€ by doing self-introductions.
It wasnā€™t until 3 hours later at lunch when I discovered that I had, in fact, talked to Tim Drake-Wayne himself, courtesy of one of my friends (Iā€™m looking at you Rayne) screaming at me.
That was also what led to the whole ā€œsit down and letā€™s talk about Wayne Loreā€ that lasted 3 hours.
Duke Thomas-Wayne is the next one. This guy is an absolute fucking sunshine. Heā€™s the other guy thatā€™s in one of my other classesā€” actually, now that I think about it, weā€™re in a group together for that classā€™ semester-long project.
Wtf.
The literal personification of a ray of light is groupmates with me holy shit. ā€œBecome group mates with a Wayneā€ was definitely not on my bucket list for this year but you know what Iā€™m not complaining about it.
Oh god I just remembered the fact that I ended up rambling about seashells for an embarrassingly long amount of time to him because the group wasnā€™t talking about anything so I ended up making small talk with the person next to me, which ended up being him.
I hope he liked my ramblings about the different kinds of seashells I have??
Last but definitely not the least (I feel legally obligated to say that) is Damian Wayne himself. Heā€™s famous for being the only Wayne child to actually be blood-related to Bruce Wayne (not that that makes the others any less his kidsā€”), and also well-known for the fact that he threatened to shove a cane up someoneā€™s ass during one of the many Wayne Galas. Honestly, I respect it. The threatened person was being an asshole to some other guests and apparently Damian Wayne had enough of his bullshit. It made rounds on social media for an entire year apparently (not that Iā€™d knowā€” I was dead to the internet beyond my little circle of hyperfixations).
Other than that thereā€™s not really much else to say about this guy? Other than the fact that I think heā€™s kinda cute in the little brother way. Thereā€™s a clip online of Tim Drake-Wayne calling him a demon spawn though, which I think is funny as fuck. Itā€™s giving sibling energy to the max. Iā€™m sure there's a good reason why this Damian Wayne has been dubbed the demon spawn.
Thereā€™s some honorable mentions for the Wayne Family (you know who Iā€™m talking about) but honestly this has gone on for so fucking long. Maybe Iā€™ll make a separate post about it at some point.
ā€¦ How the fuck does Bruce Wayne deal with all these fucking kidsā€”

the weirdest fucking thing to me is how men will be like "it's so hard being a man. no one cares that i'm sad. the loneliness we experience could NEVER be understood by a woman" and then also be like "btw i never talk to my friends and i don't know their names and i love hanging out with men because they don't talk about their stupid emotions all the time. women could never understand a bond like this." like ???

Itā€™s so sad that back in the day upon seeing a new follower there was only excitement and now you need to perform a background check to see if theyā€™re not a bot or spam of some sort

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates shouldā€™ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

dr who is (apparently) redesigning this turtle from the classic series to be just a green human elf lady instead and twitter is eating it up because "no one would take the show seriously otherwise" and "the audience isn't able to empathize with something that doesn't look human". another fascinating data point in the psychology of doctor who fans.

ā€œWomen and non-binary peopleā€ stop. Do you mean people with marginalized genders? Do you mean gender-oppressed people? Then say that. Stop refusing to recognize the very much gendered oppression of other trans people. Thereā€™s not some chasm of difference between how our oppressors treat a very masc non-binary person and a more binary trans man. Iā€™m also non-binary and very much oppressed for my gender but because Iā€™m transmasculine I could never feel comfortable in a space that marketed itself like that. Tell me what the real harm is of letting gender-oppressed mascs into spaces discussing gender oppression is. Because the consequence of not doing so is denying them space for their experiences just because of their gender identity. Do better.

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".
[plain-text version of this post can be found under the cut]
Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"
And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".
Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.
At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.
So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!
Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!
Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!
Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

#hlep#original#mental health#my sympathies and empathies to anyone who has to rely on this kind of hlep to get what they need.#the people in my life who most need to see this post are my family but even if they did I sincerely doubt they would internalize it#i've tried to break thru to them so many times it makes my head hurt. so i am focusing on boundaries and on finding other forms of support#and this thing i learned today helps me validate those boundaries. the example with the milk was from my therapist.#the example with the towing company was a real thing that happened with my parents a few months ago while I was age 28. 28!#a full adult age! it is so infantilizing as a disabled adult to seek assistance and support from ableist parents.#they were real mad i was mad tho. and the spoons i spent trying to explain it were only the latest in a long line of#huge family-related spoon expenditures. distance and the ability to enforce boundaries helps. haven't talked to sisters for literally the#longest period of my whole life. people really believe that if they love you and try to help you they can do no wrong.#and those people are NOT great allies to the chronically sick folks in their lives.#you can adore someone and still fuck up and hurt them so bad. will your pride refuse to accept what you've done and lash out instead?#or will you have courage and be kind? will you learn and grow? all of us have prejudices and practices we are not yet aware of.#no one is pure. but will you be kind? will you be a good friend? will you grow? i hope i grow. i hope i always make the choice to grow.#i hope with every year i age i get better and better at making people feel the opposite of how my family's ableism has made me feel#i will see them seen and hear them heard and smile at their smiles. make them feel smart and held and strong.#just like i do now but even better! i am always learning better ways to be kind so i don't see why i would stop
