#whitest of white girls

[dabblingreturns]

Nigerian food is delicious and it's not the fault of the peoples and cultures of Nigeria nor the fault of the cooks at the restaurant I when to yesterday, that I am a pale little baby who is unable to handle spicy foods.

I encourage people who are able to to seek out Nigerian food to do so.

But also, I'm you are a little baby like me...start with the jolaffa rice.....its a good place to start.....If you are a little baby like me who can handle spicy food.

There are very few ""headcanons"" out there that get a bigger side-eye from me than people who try to make Stephanie Brown into a Black girl.

Firstly because that is not a headcanon. That's just a whole-ass retcon created out of thin air. A headcanon would be saying she's a natural redhead like how Morgan Kohan played her on Batwoman, or that she's mixed-race because of the curly way some artist draw her hair. There's definitely flexibility in race interpretations for comics but looking at the blue-eyed blonde-hair white girl and declaring her "actually Black" is not one of them.

Secondly, because I have seen (and sometimes gotten) a lot of harassment from Steph fans aimed specifically at Tim's actual, canon Black love interests and teammates. I still seethe at the memory of this one CBR interview I read back when YJ2019 was running, where Brian Michael Bendis and David F. Walker were clearly there to talk up Naomi and Teen Lantern, and in the middle of their heart-felt conversation about the importance of representation for young Black girls, the interviewer butted in to interject, "But you know who I want to see more of?? Stephanie!!!" This going on while Steph fans on Twitter were going on racist tirades because the book dared to highlight the history of Teen Lantern, a character who was actually advertised to be a part of the book and a new member of the team, instead of giving them more of their white-blonde fav who had never been affiliated with YJ and was never part of the advertising.

Thirdly, she was created and so often written by Chuck Dixon, a blatant racist, and as a result there are so many little scenes of her that have uncomfortable racial elements to them. Like the one where he created a pair of Black girls just so Stephanie could call them "raging morons" to their faces and then later talk about how stupid and immature they are compared to her. (Which I am still convinced was Dixon directly criticizing the much better teen pregnancy subplot from Icon & Rocket). Or the borderline-blackface white savior ""demon"" where she wears a dead gnu and maybe accidentally calls herself a bitch in Swahili. (Disclaimer: I do not speak Swahili, and thus do not know how a sentence structure that should read "I am thorn" turns into "I'm a bitch" or "I'm crazy," but I checked that translation with three different robo-translators and got the same results so, shrug.)

And finally -- god, Steph is just, such a walking avatar of white women's privilege. Her entire thing is demanding that she get her way, never letting anyone tell her no, and still being treated by the narrative as a pure-hearted ""beacon of hope"" that everybody needs to protect and nurture at all times.

The inciting incident of War Games can be boiled down to, "A white girl got told no, and made it everybody else's problem." The first attempted Black member of the Batfamly fucking died during that event and got almost entirely forgotten because people only went to bat for the white girl who caused the whole mess and the white woman who got character assassinated to kill her off.

If Stephanie were Black, she wouldn't exist anymore. Fuck, if she were a brunette or just as butch as Carrie Kelly, she probably wouldn't exist anymore. She certainly wouldn't be Batgirl, I can't imagine Dan Didio replacing Cass with another woman of color.

And it's not even just her? Her father is also a very white character. It is incredibly easy to summarize Arthur Brown as a mediocre white man lashing out at the world for not handing him the success he felt entitled to. Take that petulant entitlement away from him and you lose his entire character.

I'm ranting about it on my own blog instead of picking a fight because everybody's entitled to their own fandom experience and blah blah, but this is just. Yeah. Ugh.

hey everyone remember the summer of 2001 when literally every person on the planet was singing about a french hooker and losing their shit about it?

[kribabesims]

All new Kribabe action figure!

Comes with trichotillomania and real eyebrow and eyelash picking action!

She even bites her nails when she's stressed out enough!

Known for such phrases as: "They can literally suck my entire cock and balls." and, "-UNINTELLIGIBLE SCREAM STIMMING???-"

Watch her incredible ability to think at Mach ten, with questionably good problem solving skills even though she'll knee-jerk say the incorrect thing about fifteen times!

Jaded, tired, and sometimes overly energized!

A whirlwind of unknown noises, screaming matches with her bird, and extensively long periods of lethargy: she'll probably give you a migraine!

I THOUGHT CHEAPPICKLE WAS BLACK

i’ve literally been so upset at xo, kitty for days

because it’s the cringey whitewashed koreaboo version of a kdrama like it fucks up representing korean culture and language so bad that watching it makes me want to rip out my eardrums

but people still think it’s so cool and it’s really popular and it’s like,,, man. they really did that. they really represented korean society in the most inauthentic, wish version, whitewashed way possible. and people are fucking eating it up.

Lowkey pissed at the disrespect to my culture and language (chinguseok, anyone? go fuck yourself.) and the fact that very few people seem to recognize that it’s not an accurate portrayal at all.

if you had to guess nolan's type from whatever you've known about him over the years, what would the girl look and be like? and when do you see him settling down?

I really do not think he’d go for some ig model esque girl. That’s just my opinion he’d probably want to sleep with them if anything not wife them up. I also think without his hockey hype even trying to bag a ig known girl won’t cut it, sounds shallow n weird but it’s true.

I think he’d end up with a pretty blonde or brunette that has an above average girl next door look. He seems into both. To when he actually settles who knows, I think dudes focused on figuring himself out since hockey was probably his main identity for the longest time.

someone also made a metal remix of Tunak Tunak Tun that ALSO slaps btw

God I fucking bet, it's an extremely good song and the music video is LEGITIMATELY ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS EVER.

This is a bit of a tangent but like. I grew up listening to extremely "weird" music. I was born in a pretty small Very White town in borderline rural-land, and me and my sister spent our childhoods listening to like. Angelique Kidjo, Miriam Makeba, and Enya, and then we watched anime and loved Japanese music, and played video games like Chrono Cross that had absolutely off the wall and different than anything we'd ever heard soundtracks. We discovered music maniacs like Yasunori Mitsuda and Yoko Shimomura without knowing their names until we beat the games, reveling in how different and amazing their sounds were.

So when I first heard Tunak Tunak Tun and it was being passed around as a "HAHA LOL OMG THIS SONG IS SO WEIRD" I was like. Oh. this is a fucking jam? This guy seems super funny by the music video but this song rules? Songs in non-English languages were just Normal to me because I spent so much time listening to songs in Japanese, different African languages, and languages that didn't exist like some Cirque du Soleil shows.

havaianas

a specific blond hue of hair (for women)
