The Monster Manual but it's blatantly written by the monsters

I know it's possibly a weird pick to some but this might legit be Cassandra Cain's single most character defining line to me. It answers completely why it is she's so obsessively driven. She can't slow down, rest, heal or have a life of her own for even a moment because if that moment could have otherwise been spent saving even a single life then in her eyes, her own selfishness killed that person.

yeah this comic book burrowed itself deep in my brain and its all i think about and it changed me as a person but that doesnt mean its "good". i wouldnt even say i like it

#me and lili worth #yes i love her #no nobody should read her original appearance ever and it's horrific #she's like one of those optical illusions where you have to look at what isn't there to see the cool thing #god i never did finish that analysis for her with uni work and everything #i should at some point

Saving Discourse Bombs straight into my drafts rather than posting them is actually a form of self-care and my restraint is heroic and noble

Still can't believe that Gail Simone pitched an arc where (the famously compassionate) Cassandra Cain (who sees herself in every killer she meets) learns to care about criminals from a priest because of the Bible.

realistically, if mia was to be revealed a lesbian in canon, how would you want it to be done?

hm hm hm hm. youve struck my achilles heel (having to come up with an original idea)

i think realistically and how i would want it to be done contradict each other a bit.

i would want it done via a genuine exploration of mia's feelings towards men and her unpacking how it relates both to her trauma and her sexuality. and the unfortunate blurred lines between the two. the comphet i could fit in this bad boy is crazy

realistically i think they'd put her in a pride special in the background with a lesbian flag

#mia dearden #so so interesting

Once again wishing people writing shit about Babs' paralysis realised that actual wheelchair users can read it too

#probs delete later #babs is not real! #but weirdly equating wheelchair users with weakness and lack of agency might have social ramifications #wild

I’ve said this in tags before but I want to make it known: dick and cass desperately need regular brunches wherein they can get some fucking moral support. It’s called the ‘we understand batman a LITTLE TOO WELL to be healthy’ club

#yes!!

everytime someone talks abt misogyny in fandom and how no one can talk about female characters, there's inevitably some person that goes "yeah every single female character to ever exist are all written terribly and thats why no one focuses on them 💔 such a shame 💔" then you go on their account and their favorite character is a male bg character with 3 speaking lines and they've made like 7 AUs so that man can be shipped with himself

I love desert rain frogs so much… What did we do to deserve these angry little orbs?

Disclaimer: I have no ideas if desert rain frogs can close their eyes they way this one does in panel 2, but it was too cute not to draw.

Helena Bertinelli :)

I've read her 1989 solo, her much worse 4 issue chuck dixon mini (forget the year), and huntress: cry for blood. the 1989 solo is peak, it's my favorite, and cry for blood is also good. Dixon's the less said the better :P I guess the art was pretty.

my favorite appearance for her is her 1989 solo that is definitive helena for me. sorry much more popular cry-for-blood huntress :P

#agreed #1989 is just so good
