I feel cheated. no one on Reddit told me that tumblr is a serotonin factory. Keep liking and reblogging my posts please thanks
I love the posts that are like "Well this is very clearly the canon but y'all are So Desperate to ignore canon and warp it to whatever fantasy you have for these characters." Like yeah. That's what fandom is. That's what most fan-fiction is built around. The DC fandom specifically is basically built on picking and choosing which comics you personally feel in your heart are canon. That's the fun of it. "Y'all love to ignore some things just to make your character dynamics work." Yes. Yeah that's the point. Correct.
seeing posts about batfamily characterization and why one way is wrong or another is and im just like. can we just say we have favorites? bc most of these guys are built from decades of different writers and different ways of existing so fucking obviously theres gonna be different versions of the same character.
"bruce is a bad father" yes he is he found out red hood was jason and tried to lock him up, he made dick fake his death, he was neglectful of tim
"bruce is a good father" yes he is he gives jason chance after chance, he hugs dick when hes overwhelmed, he took tim in as his own
"jason hates tim" "tim hates damian" "dick is a bad sibling" yeah but also no, depends on what youre reading and what you want to see
the thing is with old ass characters and so many series and universes you arent going to be able to get one solid version of any of them. canon accurate characterization with comics is mostly what you make of it so can we all chill the fuck out about whos an asshole and who isnt bc i promise you at some point both have been true
im not saying that you cant be upset at the characterization, personally dicks gets on my nerves sometimes, but i am saying that ive seen 6 posts that all start the same way and make good points but they all contradict themselves. have your opinions but stop saying that yours is right and true when it is not the only true.
Ao3 is down for maintenance, time to make my own fanfic in my head and stare into nothingness for the foreseeable future 🫡
I need a fic where young justice finds out that billy batson is secretly like, 11 and decide to recruit him as like, team little brother and the jl is just thinking "awww, captain marvel is helping mentor those yj kids!! How sweet!!" Then they actually see yj and Billy in action and are suddenly very confused as to why they're mentoring HIM???
A Bill wins scenario where Bill is keeping Ford. Ford is unaware that his family is still alive (in their own little bubbles naturally) , Bill interested in keeping as pawns to get what he wants from Ford.
When he eventually reveals this news to Ford, Ford of course wants to see them. Bill wants to make a deal.
Bill offers a visit session with his family if Ford gives him one small thing that he won't miss Bill is sure.
His hand.
Ford assumes of course Bill means his literal hand. It seems like Bill's sense of humor as far as Ford knows. So he agrees to he deal.
Thing is, Bill did not mean his literal hand. More like hand in a meld of a human and a creature like Bill, marriage.
y’know for me it straight up doesn’t even occur to me to unfollow someone when they stop posting whatever it is i followed them for. unless the thing they’re posting about now is somehow actually actively upsetting to me i just accept it as a part of my life now. i’ll just scroll past it like i’m driving a car and dodging an obstacle on the road. and that part of the road is my daily commute and the thing stays on the road forever and i swerve around it every day for months instead of ever taking the initiative to get it removed. it just adds flavor i guess
Karaoke night~
Support me on Kofi!
No but I was talking to my brother who only watches series and movies of dc (I only read comics) and I mentioned Donna and the conversation was like:
"Who?"
"Uh, Donna Troy?"
"WHO?"
"...Wonder girl? The one with black hair?"
"Ohh, that obscure dc charater"
"????"
He had to explain to me that she doesn't really appear on other media :(
