tw suicide, s/a

hi i wanted to submit something for the antitransmasculine violence archive. unsure if it counts but basil brown was a genderqueer disability activist recently who killed themself after being raped on campus. the school is covering it up, they're being misgendered everywhere, and it hurts. I knew them.

https://www.kadn.com/news/local/an-unspeakable-loss-ul-releases-statement-after-student-suicide-on-campus/article_4b6797c2-f5c1-11ee-bfc4-9326f10eb630.html

https://twitter.com/Georgeroyde/status/1777602502298345748?t=-7gb5o5HL3lE3UQziTG5yg&s=19

same anon that sent about basil. just found out libs of tiktok posted about them. sick to my stomach

Yes, this absolutely counts. Thank you for sending me this.

From their Instagram I can see that they were on T at some point and used to identify as trans man; if anyone can find out if they were still comfortable being grouped under the "transmasculine" umbrella by the end of their life, it would be much appreciated. I am going to put them on the list for the sake of visibility, but I want to make sure their full genderqueer identity isn't being ignored.

Basil wrote this Instagram post, apparently in reference to a trans boy who died (according to this, also by suicide) and was misgendered by the Louisiana School for Math, Science and Arts, now unfortunately too relevant in their own death:

Honor Max. Use his name, use his pronouns. Be brave enough to handle the consequences, and stand up for him. It is equal parts heartbreaking and blood boiling for you to make the choice to disrespect him, even in death. Protect trans kids.

They link a neocities website in their Instagram bio, which appears to be a product of their own creation. Its very interesting and full of art, so if you want to check it out to honor their memory, go to ocimum.neocities.org

Their name was, and is, Basil Brown.

UPDATE: According to a friend, Basil used he/they pronouns at the time of his death.

Additionally, I want to point out that one of the people Basil accused of raping them is a professor at the university they were attending. The university has only put out the vaguest nothingburger of a response (linked above) to a student's on-campus suicide & accusation of rape.

Bonus post: The Sutton Hoo rivets

Archaeology pioneer Basil Brown standing in the Sutton Hoo ship. No actual wood has survived. The whole lay-out of the ship has only survived because of the rivets having remained in their original place all those centuries.

The rivets can be seen as black dots on the white (mother soil) background. There has been no other ship from the Vendel age excavated that is so well preserved without actual wood surviving. Grave robbers and the wood collapsing on itself usually leave plenty of rivets out of place.

So I just had this weird thing happen. I had the post about Early Medieval buckets. One of those buckets is the Sutton Hoo bucket with picture and museum nr. That museum being The British Museum.

Someone just commented “another thing stolen by the British Museum”.

I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that TBM is innocent, but i don’t understand the stealing part in having an English artifact, made and found in England in the British Museum. I asked why the person thinks so or if it had to do with Basil Brown. The comment and person seemingly disappeared from tumblr immediately after.

Are there bots on tumblr who’s entire thing is being too woke or are people trying to be smart but this one got busted immediately? So confused…

Various different symbols on the seats. Some I believe were just made up for this.

In order: Red Robin (Tim), Orphan (Cass), Batwoman (Kate), Spoiler (Steph), Clayface (Basil), and Batman (Bruce).

The Spoiler symbol is the most interesting to me, I'm not sure what the design is supposed to be. The table itself was made by Batwing (Luke) but he doesn't have a chair. The main design is similar in glowing colour to his suit, but is way too curvy.

cataloguing the various times Cass has shown an interest in and/or love of the visual and performing arts since her introduction as references for my Cass fic and it's actually kind of maddening that nothing has really ever been done with this considering how many times it's been referenced.

for those interested (and this is a non-inclusive list):

Dance is the most textually supported art form Cass has shown interest in. Pre-reboot, Cass does an acrobatic-style dance for Jean-Paul as a gift and thank you for working together in Azrael: Agent of the Bat #61 and has a TON of fun "mosh-pit dancing" while attending a rave in Batgirl Vol. 1 #63:

Meanwhile post-Flashpoint, Tynion had an entire mini arc about Cass discovering ballet (starting in Batman & Robin Eternal #7) and dance as an art form she has a major fascination with (Detective Comics #950-957 and scattered references throughout the rest of his Tec run):

She actually lives in an abandoned room at the Gotham Metropolitan Ballet in the out-of-continuity Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey mini:

Cass does a lot of experiments with clothing, makeup, and fashion throughout her Batgirl run (particularly during the Horrocks and Gabyrch eras)...some of which has occasionally carried over to post-reboot!Cass's fashion choices, like her unicorn robe in Batgirls:

She also designed and created her own Batgirl costume using pilfered arts and crafts supplies in the Shadow of the Batgirl graphic novel:

Cass was seen acting out scenes from Shakespeare's The Tempest with Clayface in Detective Comics #958 as a form of speech therapy:

Steph mentioned that Infantino Carmini’s The Three Graces was Cass's "favorite painting in Gotham" in Catwoman (2018) #45, implying that she knows enough about painting and visual art to have a favorite:

Post-Crisis!Cass got a lot of her vocabulary from watching visual media (especially television). Many of her later pre-reboot appearances are littered with various pop culture references that she absorbs through watching tv and film (Alien and Star Wars, for example):

there was also a semi-recurring gag of Cass picking up off-color/outdated/weird expressions from tv shows she watched in order to learn about criminology and how to "talk like normal people":

Also Cass watching those awful daytime reality tv shows? unfortunately canon:

Her fighting style has also always been depicted as very fluid and acrobatic, other characters watching Cass fight have sometimes referred to her fighting "dance-like" or "poetry in motion," and artists often incorporated dance-esque choreography into her training sessions with Bruce and the Bats' VR fighting simulator:

The one art form she continually has no interest in is literature (largely because for a long time she couldn't read and had no real interest in learning how), much to ex-Head Librarian!Barbara's frustration, though I've been told she's apparently reading Edgar Allen Poe in Batgirls right now.

Looking at all of this together makes it kind of frustrating that no writer has really done the connect-the-dots between Cass's notable, recurring interest in the visual/performing arts and her longing to express herself in a way that can be easily understood by other people. Tynion got the closest with the ballet/dance obsession, but he was constrained by having to balance a fairly large ensemble cast and so didn't have the space to really give that kind of attention to her character growth.

#cassandra cain #batgirl #cassandra cain meta #batfam #dc comics #barbara gordon #stephanie brown #basil karlo #why is Batgirls so horrible at doing literally anything with Cass it's the perfect space for the writers to do something with this #bc honestly I need less 'ballet obsessed!Cass' and more 'Cass gets into a new type of visual/performing art every other month'#(and a writer to finally back up my 'Cass loves old silent films' agenda because it's SITTING RIGHT THERE buried in her media obsession)#also the reaction that Babs has to Cass's disinterest & then seeming inability to learn how to read...painful but excellent character flaw

Not entirely confirmation since I can't confirm this person knew them, but this person on twitter identified themself as Basil's friend and used he/they pronouns https://twitter.com/buglikeshugs/status/1777822373787435191. Another friend of theirs they retweeted refers to Basil as a brother.

Thank you very much.

Also, you'll never fucking guess who responded to that LibsofTiktok tweet misgendering Basil and pushing a transphobic agenda using his suicide:
