this is just stream of consciousness wrt to an ask i got
i don’t read much dc fic but a primary point of avoidance for me is the fallout of nightwing #93 because to address the situation with nuance u would have to disentangle devin grayson’s particular brand of sexualised racism (both by rewriting tarantula to be latina and her interpretation of rromani characters generally) and understand the context for dick grayson’s character prior to that point, and how it’s affected modern interpretation for his character.
i say this as someone who is attempting to include this in a fic, because it is hard to emphasise exactly how damaging it’s been for his character long term. part of it is fundamentally misunderstanding what constitutes assault on the part of the comic writers, sure, but i would also encourage people to just…. consider the context. why are u writing other people enacting revenge on tarantula on a survivor’s behalf? why are u uncritically engaging with devin grayson’s racism? why are u writing characters violently slut-shaming a survivor of assault when they would never ever react that way (roy harper, donna troy)?
and why is jason todd always there, for some reason
If you guys could show Baghera some love, that would be great! She, Etoiles, and Felps have all been receiving a lot of harassment in their chats lately, but Baghera in particular has been really affected by it.
Please show her your support and tell her how much she's appreciated!
Literally why aren’t bisexuals just allowed to be bisexual. You’re in a “straight” relationship and suddenly your entire relationship is called into question, you’re a default cheater apparently, you’re gross and icky and tainted from past relationships, you don’t face the same homophobia in society somehow bc you aren’t a *real 100%* queer. Bi women are fetishized and abused and bi men are tossed aside and forgotten or completely misidentified based on any perceived deviation from gender roles. Your entire identity is actually transphobic bc bi means two and how dare you not accommodate nb people when the identity LITERALLY ALWAYS HAS. Shut up AHUT UP.
Do you check first to see if the people whose posts you react to on your blog follow you, or do you not really care if they see your reaction?
i'm posting my personal opinion on my personal blog to something i saw several times over in the main tags.
i'm not sure what you want me to say here, but no, i have neither the time or spoons to check who follows me or doesn't follow me every single time i make a post, nor do i find that healthy behaviour. i try to not look at my follower count at all.
guys i rlly enjoy talking with yall and reading and answering your messages and stuff but its getting REALLY overwhelming lately so i need to say, please dont infodump me with things youre not sure i know (maybe just wait for my answer first instead of just going off). my brain is small, it shuts off when it sees a message so long i have to scroll and scroll and scroll 😭
to the dr ratio chain anon: I LOVE YOU FOR THE MENTAL IMAGES
lqq's eng dub is so cute i saw no one talking about it so i made myself a compilation of his babyvoice moments (also xie lian's voice in the wake up scene was so soft it's killing me)
