i love love love the way you draw donna. tell me something important to you about her?

this is SUCH a sweet q ty anon so im gonna expand a lil on wondergirls as a whole

my intro to donna was actually after her death — one of the first comics i ever read was graduation day and tt03. her profound loss, her presence haunting the narrative, the literal space she was supposed to inhabit in the world, totally caught me off guard. reading back through her history portrayed a character made up of a million threads and holding onto herself for dear life. she’s a daughter, a god, a hero, a ghost. i think how she’s been recreated, resurrected from death, over and over again by the people who love her. how she changes shape and struggles to know herself. i think of her capacity for kindness.

i think about how wonder woman was born of clay in the hands of her mother who loved her, who endured violence in the world and still found hope in a future that her daughter would grow up into. i think about their desire for change.

my first (and only) cosplay as a child, before nonbinary entered the public lexicon and tomboyness was the acceptable excuse to like… have short hair, was as the first iteration of cassie sandsmark. idk i think that was so very important to me as a 13yo, especially compared to her look in tt03. how she was herself, she rejected any idea of what she should be. how she carried donna’s legacy into something else entirely. something more.

also i think it kinda goes without saying that all the robins are happy and angry and smart and loving but acting as if the mantle of robin, its existence as a symbol of light in the darkness and human perseverance and joy in the face of suffering, did not originate from dick grayson, that mary grayson’s love for her son did not inspire that hope, is absolutely unhinged

I think fandom doesn't realize that even when male characters get "the female character treatment" (meaning victimized) they often are afforded much more narrative agency than actual female characters.

You see people love to say dick is female coded bc he was raped (which is stupid in and of itself bc men can experience sexual assault too), but as the writers treat it, it's not done to make another character sad. We often see his reaction prioritized in the text, even if it's handled in an unsatisfying manner. Compare that to sue dibney and how the text is entirely focused on how mad/sad it made her husband and the justice league. If we expand this to "female character is assaulted in general for man's pain" you have the text of longbow hunters and follow up hunters moon way more interested in Ollie's reaction to Dinah being tortured than it is interested in her reaction. He gets more agency in processing her trauma than she does.

Then there's the whole "jason was fridged for Bruce's pain" thing which like. Yes, I'm sure the writers were thinking somewhat about angstifying Bruce (but also don't forget that they just didn't like robin). But compare that to babs in tkj or Dinah in longbow hunters. Death in the family spends 2 40 page comics about jasons journey, about how he feels with Bruce benching him and his discovery of his bio mom. He is allowed to make choices that affect the story and makes a heroic sacrifice to try to save his mom despite her betraying him - like you can't compare the amount of panel time and choices he was allowed to make to the lack of panel time and choices babs and Dinah got in their events where they were hurt for man pain.

I guess I'm just saying fandom analyze the narrative around events rather than the fact that they happened. B/c the complaint about fridging shouldn't be "bad things aren't allowed to happen to characters" (tho I am aware it is used that way sometimes) but "stop making bad things happen to female characters while making their pain or death not about them and giving them no agency in their recovery and doing this all to make a man sad"

my current hyperfixation — a post-crisis nightwing ongoing in the same verse as persephone, where the new52 never happened and dick moves to new york after bruce is rescued from the time stream in batman and robin 2009. aka dick fights cops and reconciles with the important people in his life, free from the shadow of the bat

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

80% of "passing" is having enough money to purchase the clothes and services that will allow you to pass. Please stop holding being able to stealth up as the pinnacle of trans achievement. That place belongs to surviving. It belongs to finding joy. It belongs to love and community, not people who are rich enough to have professional makeup artists and tailors.

nice argument... unfortunately

[lonely-eldritch-monsterrrr]

u are dick grayson and there are two wolves inside u. one is bruce wayne’s devotion to control above everything and ur uncompromising, debilitating loyalty to him. the other is the titans love for u and how u conflate that with lacking trust in ur judgement and their own attempts at control. u cannot win. u will be eaten alive.
