The Batfamily is a bickering, dysfunctional family. Which is to say, they spend every day arguing with each other, fighting it out, making death threats, and dramatically going no-contact for weeks.

But if there’s an all-hands incident in Gotham? A galactic invasion? Family emergency? That stops instantly. They become the tightest, most competent, dedicated group of siblings/butler/parents you’ve ever seen.

And it’s terrifying to see.

#aka they’re the always joking until there’s an emergency group #basically the inverse of ‘everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth’ #they don’t have a plan #and then they get punched in the mouth and BOY HOWDY #that’s a scary family #bruce wayne #batman #dc #batfamily #batfam #batdad #thoughts #incomplete thoughts on the treadmill

Dc x dp idea 41

When amity park get yoinked to the infinite realm JLD is aware. By the time they get there to investigate it’s back.

All of them can feel the ghost king. Leading them to believe that the king is trying to claim the earth for himself. They believe after his time being sealed he plans to in thrall all humans. The king must be in need of new soldiers.

Which is a reasonable conclusion if pariah was still king.

Meanwhile Danny is trying to study for his finals.

Ok. I have listened to the people. I have watched the thing. It is very wholesome.

Kazu comes home. He is hopeless and tipsy. And he swings between excited and wasted.

#I am SICK of Miri’s voice ngl #I know kids are loud. And make a mess of EVERYthing. That’s why i stay away. #But for Kazurei ; I made it to the end #They are precious #Rei is so cute I love this guy #He has 0 human skill and still is effortlessly hilarious and a little cutie 👏💖 #i wish we had more of their relationship bc they have sth really special #They never question their trust in each other like it never crosses their mind. They disagree almost all the time but they never part #It’s more natural than breathing. They’re always saying stuff like « it’s not fit to involve other people in our way of life » #it’s not even an option to live apart. They clearly will spend all their lives together #Except that scene it’s so weird when Kazu says « hum with Miri gone we don’t have a reason to live together anymore » lol man #Not as if you guys were already joined at the hip before meeting her. But I get the «the family life changed us now sth’s missing #and it feels incomplete ». But still guys. You are soul mates. #Also the « of course he comes with me. He’s my partner. » line 💕💍 #even if at some point they meant to part ways ; really they can’t be separated. #kazurei #No homo daddies #Buddy daddies #kazuki x rei #Domestic gays

Hey, am I the only one who does not like the idea of Luke's new Jedi order allowing romantic relationships, marriage and having kids?

Like, George Lucas even said that the reason he did not give Luke a love interest in the end was because Jedi do not marry? And he even gave us a clear example of what happens with that in the Prequels?

I just don't understand this whole "Luke's Order was better because people could finally love" or "That's why the old Order fell"

Yeah sure buddy, they ceartenly did not fell because they had a freaking Sith Lord as head of the Republic who orchestrated one of the greatest evil plans the galaxy had ever seen, no no no, they fell because they didn't let Jedi to marry. sure.

The Order had the rule of non attachments for 25,000 years, and it's a rule that makes sense, we even saw what happens when Jedi form attachments and are unable to let go.

So I don't understand how a new Order without this rule would be better than one that survived for that long with it.

#I know that this idea comes from Legends #and it's one of the reasons why I won't read anything related to the New Order there #but I think it also comes from the idea that if you're not in a relationship you're incomplete #there are people who cannot comprehend others being happy without a partner #and so they try to always give one to characters that just do not need that #please if you want to start a discussion be civil #every insult will be blocked immeadiatly #luke skywalker #pro jedi #jedi order #jedi philosophy #star wars #jedi love #jedi #new jedi order

I want to talk about the significance of which characters defeats the different antagonists in the Wolf 359 finale: Kepler kills Rachel (and vice versa), Jacobi kills Riemann, Minkowski kills Cutter with the help of Lovelace, and Hera and Eiffel wipe Pryce's memories. As I'll argue below, none of those combinations are incidental.

Jacobi and Kepler each get to dispatch an adversary, but, since they've only recently and - perhaps reluctantly - aligned with our protagonists in their aims, they each deal with more minor antagonists. Rachel and Riemann are ultimately following orders rather than giving them, so their defeat - while important - doesn't have the same emotional weight as that of Pryce or Cutter. This is also why the confrontations with Riemann and Rachel each conclude significantly before the confrontations with Pryce and Cutter. (Cont. below cut)

I'd argue that Riemann is the least developed character in the show (of those that are voiced and appear in more than one episode). He's nothing more than a Goddard henchman, and that's deliberate. Jacobi’s investment in this fight is practical, rather than emotional. There's no personal antagonism between the two of them. And this works for Jacobi as a character - his job has always been to “make very big things blow up” and he's only recently started properly putting his own independent thought into who he wants to be blowing up. So Jacobi and Riemann face off against each other in a locked room, with a fistfight and then an explosion.

In contrast, Kepler and Rachel do have personal antagonism between them. It's clear that they have a history of professional dislike. In Kepler's backstory episode, Rachel clearly takes a great deal of glee in mocking Kepler about “Operation Gigantic, Humiliating Screw Up”, and Kepler certainly doesn't seem pleased to see Rachel when the Sol arrives at the Hephaestus in Ep55. Although there are obviously other motivations involved, their petty interpersonal hatred gives an interesting extra significance to them killing each other.

Another way to frame it is that Kepler and Rachel are two people at a similar middle-of-the-hierarchy level who've both been faced with a degree of undeniable evil even beyond what they've previously encountered from (and enacted on behalf of) their employer, and had to decide what they are willing to go along with. Their mutual killing of each other is the result of a conflict between two contrasting potential decisions in that situation. 

It's also notable that while the minor antagonists are each defeated by a single character on their own, the major villains could not have been defeated in this way. The two most significant confrontations in the finale each involve a pair of characters who care deeply about each other standing together against someone who has personally hurt them. 

After killing Cutter, Minkowski acknowledges she “couldn't... have done it... without you, Captain”. Similarly, the way Eiffel and Hera defeat Pryce required both Eiffel's sacrifice (it is important that wiping the mindspace is his idea) and Hera's abilities (it takes a lot of mental and emotional strength for her to enact that plan). The ethos of the show all comes back to that quote from Eiffel in Ep25 that needing help from others “is called being a part of a crew. You ever meet anyone that could get things done all on their lonesome?”

It's important that Hera confronts Pryce - she gets the chance to stand in defiance against a person who has caused her so much pain. Hera gets to assert herself as her own person against the first person not to treat her as one. While I certainly don't think anyone should feel responsible for confronting those who have personally hurt them in real life, it would have been narratively unsatisfying for Pryce to have been defeated without Hera playing a central role. That confrontation is necessary for catharsis and resolution of Hera's character arc. But it's important that Hera doesn't have to do it alone. It's important that she does it with Eiffel, the person she is closest to, by her side. And what's more, in that mindspace, he's by her side in a more literal direct way than he has ever has been before.

Terrifying as Pryce is, it's Cutter who has been our 'big bad' throughout the whole series, the one that we've been aware of since we became aware of larger sinister forces at work in this narrative. And so it's apt that he's defeated by Minkowski, the Commander, with the help of Lovelace. Our two protagonists who have at points been defined by their leadership positions defeat the villain who has been defined by his leadership over them. Our two Commanders defeat the person above them in the chain of Command. 

If Minkowski has a personal nemesis, it's Cutter (as I argued in my Minkowski harpoon essay). Now that Hilbert's gone, the same could probably be said of Lovelace. He's the one who recruited them (and their respective crews, assuming that he was involved in the recruitment of the other members of Lovelace's crew as well) into the hellscape that is the Hephaestus. He's the one basically all of their pain and turmoil ultimately comes back to.

Minkowski & Lovelace's confrontation against Cutter, and Hera & Eiffel's confrontation against Pryce, are both about the harm that's been done to them as individuals. And about the harm done or threatened to their loved ones (including the friend they each stand beside in this particular confrontation). And about their principles and themes around control, autonomy, personal agency, and identity. And about the desire to protect people in general on a larger, global or even galactic, scale.

And all of those resonances work particularly well because of the specific choices made about which protagonists should face off against which antagonists, in order to provide the most effective culmination of the character arcs that have been built over 61 episodes.

i find it kind of emblematic that movies that explore stereotypical manliness like fight club and whatever else are seen as like.. movies with something to Say and it being a barometer for film literacy whether you took the right message or not, while like mean girls or legally blonde or gone girl are just seen as movies that girls like because girls are shallow and there’s no way a movie exploring aspects of womanhood and feminity could have deeper themes beyond the surface level commentary being made. i’m not saying they’re masterpieces by any means but i do think they carry more depth than they’re given credit for and i think it has a lot to do with how little value society seems to place on the inner lives of women and the even lesser value that is given to women wanting to express that in art

#tht being said the sheer whiteness of those movies IS an issue and has always stood out to me as a glaring flaw #cause any exploration of girlhood and womanhood is incomplete without factoring in woc and their unique perspectives #.txt

Have your feelings about having children changed over your lifetime? & Does it matter to you whether your children share your genetics?

Some clarifications on this poll:

"Having kids" implies you are also participating in raising the kids.

For this poll "biological children" is shortened to "biokids" and can include nontraditional things like egg donation + surrogacy.

"Wanting" kids still applies if you already have kids that are wanted, even if you don't want any more of them. Go with what feels most salient to you.

"Not specifically wanting biokids" means that you lack a strong preference for having biokids-- that you would not be particularly disappointed if your children were not your genetic descendants (for example adoption, or using donated sperm/eggs instead of your own). You don't necessarily have to be opposed to the idea of having biokids for it to apply to you (though you can be!).

#tokophobia cw #not very strong warning but I would have appreciated it if it was on my dash lol #polls #the uncertainty options are just kind of a bonus because I had space and am curious #but that is not centrally what this poll is about so it's fine that they're incomplete #I KNOW clarifying up top is gonna reduce participation but I always think doing it after the poll is foolish #you want people to read it BEFORE they vote if they're gonna read it at all!

What positive masculinity is/what positive masculinity looks like:

Dedication to being true to one's self - even if it isn't considered "masculine" by others

Respecting yourself and other people, "if it harms none, do what you will"

Defining your masculinity

Letting yourself feel your full range of emotion, even if it isn't considered "desirable" emotion

Expressing those emotions in any way, so long as it is safe to you or others. This includes crying, laughing, smiling, venting, whatever it may be

Not preventing yourself from being happy because it isn't "masculine enough" for people who don't care about you.

These are some things I've learned about positive masculinity, and I think it is poignant for trans people, trans men, and transmasculine* people to embrace. I wanted to make this post of general ideas of what positive masculinity looks like because I have been talking more about masculinity, manhood, and maleness through a trans lense. I hope this can help a young trans person learn that masculinity can be joyous, empowering, and most of all, positive and healing. Masculinity is not a bad thing, and I have found so many people internalize shame of their masculinity because it can be seen as "tainting" or otherwise undesirable and shameful.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #nonbinary #i call it positive masculinity just for clarity but it doesn't mean that masculine like... always has to be positive #and these bulletpoints aren't ALL of them. they're just ones i can remember right now or ones i think are important #this absolutely can be (and ought to be) expanded upon and seen as an incomplete list
