in this world where so many members of our species, with supposed moral agency, are killing small things for nothing but the crime of existing, and so many are blind to the value of any species which does not benefit them in a way they can personally measure... do you ever feel so so panicked and suffocated?

#i had to walk onto the tracks at the NYC Times Square station to retrieve an injured pigeon who was trapped down there #no idle police officers or MTA personnel cared at all when I explained that an injured animal was trapped on the tracks #the MTA staff told me to ask the cops to help #the cops told me to ask MTA staff for help #the cops said “if it were a person that would be different” #i looked like a crazy person bc i was having a panic attack and trying to ask people for help at the same time #my partner called animal control and they said there was nothing they could do #the Wild Bird Fund does not have the resources to retrieve animals but said that if i could catch the pigeon i was welcome to bring them in #and you know what #i did #if someone is in a life-and-death situation and you are in a position to help them then YOU SHOULD #what kind of fucking person would i be if i saw this pigeon #whom i am perfectly physically able to rescue from their situation #and i said wow that's too bad that they're going to die down there #if only it weren't illegal/dangerous to go onto the tracks #a cell phone is valued 1000% more than a non-human's life #it's fucked up guys (: #anyway i learned first hand that literally no one in NYC will stop you from doing anything at all #as long as you aren't brandishing a weapon or some other murderous action literally no one cares what you're doing and will not stop you #so be punk and take action #fuck speciesism #animal rights #animal welfare #humans are animals #also sorry but people stomping on bugs who are literally OUTSIDE and doing seriously nothing but existing #why would you do that #please get help #talk to a therapist

the thing about the joker

is that - well, even canonically, he’s not actually “insane.” in the most canonical version of his backstory (bc there are many conflicting incarnations, but this one is the touchstone for a lot of later canon), he was part of a street gang before falling into a vat of Nondescript Toxic Waste that damaged his melanin production and That’s It. he supposedly “lost his mind” after seeing his reflection, which is absurd on many levels. no. he’s not “insane.” what he is, is an angry white boy.

the thing about the joker is that he exults in his own uncontainability. He laughs, because all of gotham - all the world - is built to be his playground. the only lunatic thing about him is the lunacy of ~Society~, to borrow from the joker’s own playbook; the lunacy of the joker lies in the world that grants him power: in the inheritance of loss: in white privilege, and what it means for everyone else.

“to prove a point.” those were the joker’s exact words, when he shot and paralyzed Barbara Gordon. she asked why: he laughed. “to prove a point.”

because that’s all he ever does. he hurts people because he can. and because all the power in the world can’t save him from getting hurt - and isn’t that just peachy?

because the thing about the joker is that he can get hurt. he has been hurt. but he has so much more capacity to harm than to be harmed. he is immortal. he and he alone will never have to face the consequences of the hurt that he inflicts on other people.

so then: why not hurt them? misery loves company, after all.

the joker is the embodiment and end result of our own social system: the madness of the exception: the laughter of the white man: the imprecation to smile, as he kills you.

(no one ever says it, i find, but it’s still true: barbara deserves to kill him.)

and who, then, is the batman? if the joker is the yin to his yang? if they’re two sides of one irredeemable coin, if they represent the “balance” of an unjustifiable system - who is he if not another white man?

because he is. Bruce Wayne is a white boy born into unspeakable privilege and forced to endure suffering anyway; who copes with his suffering by taking it out on others; who copes with his suffering, not by taking advantage of the world as it is, but by attempting to reshape it. to make it in his own image - as if it isn’t already his, as if claiming it further will crush out the pain.

the batman is the benevolent oppressor to the joker’s malevolent one. he changes nothing, in the end. two privileged white boys with their own respective navel-gazing grudges - where, after all, lies the difference between benevolence and malevolence?

because they are not “chaos” and “order.” not really. They are laissez-faire laughter and law. Joker exults in the disease of the system, Batman seeks to treat its symptoms, but neither of them will ever change anything about the root cause. because they may have suffered the faults of this system, but they still benefit so much more from it as it exists. Uphold it or break it, neither of them wants to change the law.

but the law is only as good as the people it’s made to protect. and who does that law protect, really?

waylon jones is, in one issue, explicitly depicted as Black. between that and his skin disorder, there has never once been room for his character to be any more than a monster: king croc is, always, a character to be violated and brutalized, over and over and over and still - always - written as the villain. (he tried so hard to scrape out a place for himself, so many times, in so many incarnations, and each and every time he finds himself relegated once more to the sewers. he will never be anyone’s king. there is no place under the sun for people like him.)

victor fries only ever wanted to save his wife, and a capitalist mogul decided a few extra numbers on his eight-digit paycheck were more important than the people whose lives depended on that money. fries’ body was damaged to disability by that choice, left without the resources to find a cure for his wife, and he robbed banks because there was no other option available to him. we seem to have forgotten, or maybe never really understood, why that matters. why a desperate man trying to save his life and that of his loved ones under the crushing gears of capitalism is a villain, and the one who stops him is our hero. why, under the law batman upholds, a bank vault and a CEO’s hoard is worth more than a life.

poison ivy just wants to live, too. wants a life not defined by the devastation of her body, of the beings that exist as extensions of her, a life where green and growing things are not commodities to be plowed up and poisoned and destroyed for the sake of another man’s profit. these are villains; they are written as such. these are their motives.

who does batman fight for, really? who is our hero, this emblem of our law?

is he our hero? ours, the broken and bleeding members of the world he claims to protect?

who does the law protect, except him - him, and the joker?

#i'm having another Moment over batman friends #this is not a bruce wayne hate post #for the record. there is so much to be said in a bruce wayne hate post about child abuse and authorship and diversity of canon #but this isn't about bruce wayne. it isn't even really about the joker #i'm stuck on batman. batman as a story. batman as a myth #because the myths we tell and the threads that run consistently through them despite the multitude of tellers and times - #those say so much more than people give them credit for #who batman is - who his villains are - what those heroes and rogues represent? that *matters.* on a level wholly distinct from comic fandom #because one of the few things that remains true of batman across his many incarnations and authors and settings and media #is that: he stands for the law. (except for all the ways in which he breaks it.) his only role is to catch the criminals #when he loses control and begins dispensing Punishment he must be drawn back from the edge. because that is not Batman #Batman is Jim Gordon's only deputy. Batman is the myth of the Good Cop #and the joker? the joker is batman without the law #this too is one of the few strains that carry through nearly all tellings. the joker is never his opposite: #the joker is him without a direction. without restraint. without limits. without control #and these things say a lot about the world beyond batman. about the storytellers behind him. who - to them - is a hero? who is human? #and who is a monster? the joker is a monster because he is lawless. because he is ''mad.'' because he looks Wrong #bruce wayne is a hero because he is lawful. a dark hero because he walks very close to the line of that law - but lawful still #and what is that law? what law do these storytellers see fit to uphold? for which characters does that law do any good? #which characters explicitly harmed by that law are disposable? which are villains by birth? #the fact that someone made the creative decision to depict king croc as Black in a 2008 graphic novel wherein he went cannibal - #the fact that the issue where babs was assaulted and paralyzed was also the issue in which batman sat down and sympathized with the joker - #that all of these villains are neurodivergent or queer-coded or intersex or disabled or Disfigured or just plain not white - #it says a lot. not just about the comics; about the world in which so many writers have crafted this consistent narrative of heroic cruelty #the world that accepts these as our villains. these as our heroes. it says a lot. and it *matters.* #batman #dc comics #linden writes an essay #linden's originals #linden in the tags

Nine Night and Nimona would uave such a fun dynamic, like listen, neither of them are human, each of them an outcast in their respective world, neither of them know how to socialize the Normal Way and they never managed to keep friends but they also most likely suffer from some stage of depression. One of them is 1000 years old but is the most cheerful one with the greatest anarchist attitude. The seven year olds are the ones dramatically talking about how the world in unfair and listen to whatever emo kids listen to. Neither of them are cis. Nightamre is salty he's the only one that can't fly and there's a fire in the kitchen, not theirs, just some random restaurant they broke into. I love them <3

#Nimona would be like that enabler aunt that says it's not illegal unless cops catch you #let's go vandalize some private property of a rich guy #also i thinks both Nim and Nine do graffiti #yea no coherent thoughts just the vibes yn #miles nine prower #nine the fox #nimona 2023 #dreamtale nightmare #nightmare sans #the three of them #silly brainworms

man i forgot what a good show tawog is

#i fucking loved it as a kid #the past couple days i’ve been watching a reaction youtuber watch it for the first time #and it’s genuinely such a good show #even as an adult #there are jokes that any age can enjoy #as well as jokes i didn’t catch as a kid #the character dynamics are incredible #they did a perfect job of portraying what it’s like growing up with siblings #the way they show that the watterson family are all very flawed and don’t try to deny that #but that they still love each other and have each other’s backs when it comes down to it #especially with darwin being adopted and them treating him as an important part of the family like the rest of them #it’s so 😖❤️ love to see it #most of the social commentary is on point #i rememebr how important it was to me as a queer kid when they aired that short supporting gay relationships #they also have lots of jokes commenting on how incompetent cops are #and it has LORE #i love when kids shows have lore #especially since this show is mostly episodic #it’s cool that they worked that in #i could say more but i’m rambling atp #the amazing world of gumball #tawog #kat is typing

One thing I've learned in my years is that anyone who is referred to as "scrappy" can and HAS gotten into street fights and put someone in the hospital.

#they've also most likely been in jail and def run from the cops #these people generally catch you by surprise #especially when they put someone whos got a foot and 100lbs on them in a chokehold

I haven't seen the 2021 West Side Story yet, so I don't want to judge the entire remake based on seeing the 2021 version of Gee, Officer Krupke, but I will say that song should never, ever take place in a police station because it's about a street gang mocking the system, and you can't stick them within that system visually and get the same vibe.

1961: They are on the street mocking authority because everything about them is seen as a mocking to authority, so of course this song is part of them just being street kids on the street.

2021: They're in a police station singing this song because...we didn't want to make an exact duplicate of 1961 but also don't want to admit that maybe the cops are a bunch of fuckboys and that's part of the whole thing.

#west side story #gee officer krupke #it just isn't the right vibe #you get me? #1961 is fuck the police and they can't catch us #the whole fucking idea is that the cops can't catch them #so having this song in the station where they've been caught #what the fuck

so mad at the way shit works in the world rn i think it should all change drastically immediately with no negative consequences or periods of upheaval

#all landlords and cops explode right now #everyone gets free money forever to meet their needs and help them lead fulfilling lives #actually you know what maybe money just stops existing #everyone gets the resources they need when they need them with no hangups or catches #why does the world run on greed how did it get this way why is it like this #it makes me sick and angry and im not smart enough to know how to fix it effectively and that also makes me angry #bc if i say 'hey this is messed up we should change it' everyone suddenly expects me to be a scholar and have all the answers as to how to #do it. and i dont i just recognize what is wrong #jo mews #tearing things apart w my teeth #i know what im saying in the post is unrealistic btw thats like. the point. i know change is never perfect and i KNOW #i just wish it were #and something has to give this is getting more and more untenable

if i write all the wanky stuff in the tags that means i am innocent if any wank ensues thereafter right?

#I didn't think i was supposed to ACTUALLY blame Loki for Frigga's death? like it obviously wasn't his fault in any deliberate way #and Mobius is a cop trying to break Loki enough to get him to help the cops to catch another Loki (oon inceptiony) #yeah Mobius SAYS it but i don't think Mobius speaks with 100% authority and accuracy u kno? #it's a deliberate cruelty to point out that Unintended Consequences happened there and i mean... it does work doesn't it? #that is the thing that breaks through to Loki and gets him to do Mobius's bidding from then on (mostly) #because Loki can of course justify all his DELIBERATE actions to himself - because he already did that at the time he did them #but 'u killed Frigga (sort of)' is a new Bad Thing and one he has no pre-prepared excuse for #basically Loki already knows all the tumblr meta that casts him as Right About Things so Mobius is never gonna win on those items alone #but then I also think Mobius was planning to just straight-up murder TVA!Loki when he'd done his part in catching The Bad Variant #and wouldn't be shocked if there were others before him who also got Mobius'd out of existence for failing or refusing to play along #how many times has Mobius done this? is there more than 'reading files' behind how easily he can see through Loki's attempted lies? #OH THAT GOT A BIT DARK DIDNT IT OH NO #(i enjoy a bit of lokius but i do wonder about the AU where they catch Sylvie and now Mobius has a spare Loki who is of no further use) #BUT I DIGRESS #yeah i didn't think i was supposed to ACTUALLY think Frigga dying can be fairly blamed on Loki #but Mobius knows that this is something Loki can't justify and it'll eat away at him and make him question the stuff he CAN justify #loki series

it has been a day

#i want to scream into a pillow and cry #did i learn from the last time i had coffee??? noooooo #i draank two cups and nearly broke down during art class #cause the tidy good artist kid and and the hyper all over the place ADHD kid #have decided to become mortal enemies since we made them sit at ther same table #and the head art teacher doesn't want to change it #because she thinks they should learn to get along #so i have to listen to them argue as only children on the cusp of middleschool can #and then grab a different adult to take care of it cause i empathise too strongly with both of them to be the bad cop #...i should save this so i can reference it while trauma dumping on my therapist tomorrow #and also my cat escaped like 2 minutes when i came home and i have spent the last hour debating wheter i should try and catch him\ #or just let him be #and now i have to leave in 15 min for another thing #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Me every single time I’ve made the mistake of trying to be friends with a psych major.

#Batman the telltale series #telltale batman #the enemy within #‘you’re drawn to the criminally insane. there’s something about them. the danger. the chaos. the energy’ INSANE THING TO SAY AVESTA!!! #I know this is how psych majors think they’re entitled to talk but this is not!!! an okay normal way for strangers to talk to strangers!!! #what is WRONG with you girl!! also no! that’s not it at all but you couldn’t understand you’re a cop #it’s wild how those people will talk to you like they know you better than you know you with the force of god and be wrong every time #psych majors will read this post and think ‘Ah this person is intimidated by someone’s ability to look them over and see all their hidden #truths laid bare. To catch every trick and lie and secret and tick and mental issue and see how it works. and is reacting defensively to not #being able to hide from that being read.’ babe no I am afraid of the Wild damage people who think this way automatically cause 24/7 even #wildly good psychology professionals aren’t right 100% of the time I’m scared of high school bullies going into the med field thinking #they’re psychic Christ and so deep because they’ll notice one personality trait and decide you must be bipolar #psych majors

at some point i’m gonna make my spidersona but some thoughts:

genderfluid spidey of course but also i think for purposes of plausible deniability she is spiderman. spiderman is a guy. of course he’s a guy. that’s spiderman.

#ari speaks #also i think it's very like. cops hate her! local spiderman catches petty criminals but refuses to hand them over to authorities. #spiderman is holding a know your rights training at central park. #miguel tells her about canon requiring the police captain to die expecting her to have a problem and she goes #'oh really? i told him he should have quit'

#genuinely so fucking sick and angry right now #i hope all these fucking people kill themselves catch on fire or choke #the people who fucking enabled a fucking abuser #the people running this goddamn charter school who threatned paid off all these young teachers so they wouldn't talk #and i no doubt they paid off this fucking predator to leave #and also fuck the cops fuck them i know yall got paid off good too #retraumatized my poor sister and for fucking what?
