ive been so caught up in the euphoria of my rich inner world (adult tim working at waynetech r&d, aka he gets to tinker with gadgets and secret batmobile and redbird upgrades all day long. many of his clothes have grease stains from his garage and it's great enrichment in his enclosure) that i forgot people often put him in business or at a desk job. its like coming up from underwater. huh. what. you took him out of the tinkering workshop and away from the cars??? bro thats not his natural habitat what are you doing... you need to put the redbird back into his enclosure quick, before he dies...

#LITERALLY WHY IS HE ALWAYS IN A SUIT WITH A BRIEFCASE. #GET THAT BOY SOME CUTOFF JORTS IMMEDIATELY! #tim drake #dc #rb

EEEK YES OMG THE COMIC IS SOOO GOOD I WISH MORE PEOPLE READ IT😪

melanie is so interesting to me okay i’m sane about her. her suit is so similar to ace’s design, simple with no accessories, standing in direct contrast to the rest of the family (minus ace who is. a literal robot). most notably it has a lot less red (only the lips and eyes) than king queen and jack, barely more than ace has. the rest of the family has more intricate suits & carries weapons. they all posture and mock constantly on the job while melanie is silent. and like. the obvious. melanie is ten, she’s not a face card like the others. 10-jack-queen-king directly aligns to their standings in the family (ace is ig just like in cards, switching between values of 1 and 11). melanie doesnt matter to them, she doesnt have any autonomy or influence in the family, and so much about ten is so representative of that.

#my nightly routine is reading my bb compendium and going crazy #rb #the ‘eeek’ is not me misspelling ur name i prommy i just like saying eek😭😭

inara kissing mal in our mrs. reynolds is my enemy forever and forever. like creepy and bad writing? pick a struggle. it’s just so odd to have in there.

inara places a lot of importance on consent and consistently establishes boundaries in both her work & her personal life so her kissing mal when he’s unconscious is very out of character for her, imo? it seems like just a vehicle for the subsequent scenes between them in that ep and to lay the groundwork for mal/inara. it feels like they needed a way to show that inara cares about mal but without a big reveal & confession. they show her kissing him without him knowing ( :| ) so that the audience knows inara cares about mal but mal doesnt. but it ends up very… jarring and derivative because a) he’s unconscious. that’s disgusting. she wouldnt do that. and b) we already know inara cares about mal, it doesnt need to be spoon fed to the audience. even just in that ep, it’s so so so so obvious that she cares for him deeply. inara realized saffron was dangerous and had done something to serenity or the crew to warrant escaping, but as soon as saffron told her that mal was dead inara let her go and ran straight to find mal. she was so clearly worried about him and relieved when she found him alive.

inara did not need to kiss mal when he’s unconscious and changing the scene would not affect the episode at all. if inara had just fell and hit her head like she pretended to bc she had been so worried about mal she wasnt careful, it couldve played out the exact same. she would still be embarrassed about falling bc she’s usually much more graceful, and esp embarrassed about WHY she fell (concern over mal). mal wouldve still assumed that she had kissed saffron and inara would still not admit how she feels about him. its dumb and i hate it. who wrote this lame shit i could do sm better🐥

this phenomenon imo is… very much in line with the functionalist theory of gender-specific social roles within the family, but somehow usually less sexist? more specifically it follows talcott parsons’ two complementary parental roles, the instrumental (breadwinner, disciplinary, authority figure) and the expressive (nurturing, emotional, caregiver) roles but then disregards the instrumental portion. (which. i dont think that these two "roles" should be separate by parent; every parent should find a balance between these) so viewing these as separate and placing one as more important or "better" than the other is. very odd. as u said, fulfilling only the loving & nurturing role of parenting is not rlly… good parenting and is like impossible for a parent to actually do!

now, this isn't something i judge too harshly because i know fandom is largely about wish fulfillment and that's cool--i am not immune--but there's a super interesting thread to me in which the fandom good parent/bad parent dichotomy often casts the good parent mainly into the love and validation role, which is a relatively easy part of parenting, whereas the bad parent often has the hardest & less likable parts of parenting (by which i mean boundary setting, consequences, teaching the child how to navigate personal relationships and how to exist in a society, higher standards and expectations of behavior, etc) completely flanderized and cranked up to 200% as a way to make them "mean".

#um. i could talk about this all day probably (<- cannot shut up) #me yapping #dc meta #i guess #rb
