#every single instance

[chthonic-cassandra]

Thinking about the popular idea that direct violence is the domain of the lower classes because those in power don't 'need' to use it to cause harm. How this idea is often framed as leftist but is in fact profoundly reactionary, how it colludes unwittingly with a system that makes invisible the ways people in power have always used direct violence without consequence, how it continues the cycle of silencing survivors when their stories and needs are politically inconvenient and how much I hate hate hate every single instance of the violence as metaphor thing.

#yes: even that one that came to your mind that you thought was wise #or politically useful #every single instance #violence #against libertinage #there's a much longer exegesis of this post #about salo and the tension betweeen what it is & what pasolini said it is & his own death #violence as metaphor thing

Batman #650 (2006)

Batman and Red Hood (2011-) #20

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016-) #25

“Bruce works out so he can carry Jason around like a baby” he is dragging him by the broken edge of the boy’s helmet, knuckles digging into his eyes. He is definitely strong enough to carry him but that’s not the point. He thinks Jason deserves this.

Task Force Z #6 (2022)

Catwoman (2018-) #57

Bruce and his habit of flattening his son onto the ground and standing on top of him like a lion does to its prey, while saying degrading things.

Batman (2016-) #138

And would you look at that. He finally lowered himself to face Jason. After rendering him completely powerless.

#definitely not cowardly at all!! #so far anytime somebody said Bruce is being ooc in the Jason tag I made a post like this #I’d argue Jason is too capable to let this happen every single time #but yeah have this I guess #his way of reminding Jason that he’s below him and always will be #what was it that Alfred said to Bruce in under the red hood? #right. ‘The son has not surpassed the father.’ #some instances are more unhinged than others but more or less the rhetoric is the same #aside from how it’s a generally shitty way to treat your kid #it isn’t a good look considering how so much of Jason’s story is riddled with casual classism #but also I guess this goes to show it’s never been an equal/fair fight #not because Jason isn’t good/skilled enough it’s not about that #it’s because Bruce never ever intends to be fair #‘you can’t be allowed to make your own decisions’ is what he has always been pushing so it makes perfect sense #that this is what it culminated in #this is why I never agreed ​with the framing of Jason & Bruce’s disagreement as fair because this has always been the underlying ideology #jason todd #red hood #dc #under the red hood #red hood and the outlaws #task force z #gotham war

[spider-man-2o99]

“why are you always only ever talking about, like, spider-man 2099’s childhood and mental health issues instead of posting panels of him Biting People” uh. because... spider-man 2099 the comic book... also does this.?

#talking tag #spider-man 2099 #spiderman 2099 #miguel o'hara #xina kwan #marvel #comics #comic panels #i earnestly am not trying 2 gatekeep here lol i Desperately Want people to read spider-man 2099 and ALSO Like The Thing I Really Really Like #but. (deeply bitter) The Internet Does As The Internet Is i guess. #plus i Already Have posted every single panel of him Biting People that currently exists. and then ppl left viscerally uncomfortable tags. #..well. Viscerally Uncomfortable for Me. obv the people Leaving those additions seemed pleased as punch to publicly puke em onto my lap. #urgh woof i Know it's a Bad Idea 2 bring attention 2 it bcuz this specific breed of Pest thrives on Attention but like. i am so Tired #like one of those panels was an instance of the main character rebuffing an attempted assault Put Your Pants On And Quit Moaning. Christ. #this is My Personal Blog. i post abt this comic because im autistic and it's been my special interest for going on like 10yrs. #if i decide i want to Stop Posting about it then i will just Stop Posting About It. and i will tell people Why if it is for any reason. #but i just. /jesus/ yall. go be intolerably Straight somewhere else. my house isnt the place for that i just Block Creeps.

does anyone else find it a little bit weird when omegaverse ppl are like “omegas are intersex” or have “intersex genitalia” or whatever like… stop that. please

#like thats SO WEIRD. please leave us alone #write ur a/b/o idc. dont fetishize us though lmao. and dont lump all of us into one very specific and very rare condition #like thats so so so disrespectful to intersex ppl who were born w both external sex characteristics bc the medical abuse almost every single #one of these ppl faced is ASTOUNDING. like jesus #i know its literally omegaverse and there are bigger intersex issues out there but it’s just another instance of fandom being fucking weird #rambles #intersexism

[skunkes]

might sound weird to say as a person with a couple ocs who have Big Horrible Event(s) in their backstories or as a person who has like 3 ocs total bc he sucks at writing and as a person who hopes their ocs arent too Boring with [the thing im about to mention] but the thing about writing [characters] and [people] is that like.

any little thing a person experiences can take up their whole existence... its actually something "fun" to experience as i meet new ppl and do more things. My friend had something happen that she'll be talking about forever. I had several things happen last year that ill never stop talking about, some of which other ppl think werent that bad actually. In the same way I'll forever remember about the way my sister accidentally insulted me almost 10 years ago, it's really interesting and Fun to find and assign smaller things like that to characters...its really Real. some people's dealbreakers are other people's solvable problems etc etc

#(as well as the opposite: Big Event that maybe shocks everyone around em but they genuinely werent shaken by) #though this one is more common and leads to those ''ohh i didnt know that was normal oops'' moments #talkys #inspired by recent me and friend events #and also recent events where i told sum ppl more stuff about Thing and they responded as if it wasnt a big deal. but it was to me. #and also how i thought a part of al's childhood backstory was kind of maybe dumb and not realistically as impactful as id expect #but i saw someone on reddit almost word for word write that as their experience and how its shaped em as a person #and thats it like... the small things are boring and hard to keep track of sometimes #its not like you'll include every single little event your oc was shaped by in their bio #but idk. its like Fun to piece together for fun. to mold a human being #ykwim? wld be silly to tell everyone ''oh my oc struggles with self image due to many instances like... when their sister called em ugly'' #or write it anywhere but it is fun to Know and have in your head. and its real ! #just like if a friend told you about something that happened to em #long post #delete later #sorry i keep saying stupid obvious shit lately ive always been bad at oc making AND socializing so im learning everything late #but anyway yes. idk even as i keep making ocs that are ''similar'' its like. every person so different #people can react to anything in any way for any reason. i love people #this is why i struggle a bit with keeping ocs to archetypes i guess bc like. what is ooc for an oc. people contain contradictions all the #time. you can change yourself at any time. #ok nobody will read this far so ill go to the real insane rambling #part of this has been a part of my chats with talon while trying to get him to share more info #like. yeah ok you're 400+ years old the things that happened to you were such a comparatively small part of your life #but humans dont live as long and think about small things until they die. i dont think time would heal all wounds actually. not all of em #some thoughts just always come to gnaw at your brain. its ok to not be over things. i feel ill never be over some things #and also complainerism can be fun but thats something else entirely wee hee ^_^

[uncanny-tranny]

Similarly to how bisexual isn't "half gay, half straight" for many, multigender is not "half man, half woman" for everybody.

Being multigender encompasses anybody who experiences multiple genders. It doesn't have to even be a male gender and a female gender, and it certainly doesn't have to be split down the middle with clear distinctions as to what is "male" and what is "female."

Being multigender can be convoluted and might not make sense to those who don't have this experience. A multigender person is who they say they are, though, and multigender people of all stripes deserve respect because, at the end of the day, we're people.

#multigender #trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #i see sometimes that it seems like people want multigender people... #...to fit into one version of multigenderedness... #...so in essence being half man half woman but in a very sanitized way... #...where the manhood and womanhood don't interact and you could essentially... #...slice their identity down the middle and get a cisnormative man and woman out of them... #...in reality though it's much more complex than that... #...and even man/woman multigenders can be just as complex as others... #...take me for instance. if you split me down the middle or whateveer you wouldn't get a cisnormative man or woman... #...ALL of me is trans. so it isn't like i have a trans man and a cis woman hiding inside of me or whatever #every single inch of me is trans and that includes how i identify #so that's why i despise when people act as though me being multigender means i'm half trans man half hyperfem/cis woman #because i don't like being told who i am and that isn't who i am #i can totally accept that some other multigender people won't feel the same as me on this... #...the purpose of this post is for people to be mindful of multigenderedness AND to respect each multigendered person

#i'll keep adding on to this #there are SO many instances #im on a mission to find every single example #mostly when it happens its meant as a joke to show how silly he is #i like that it seems that he never thinks too hard about this kind of thing he just genuinely thinks its fun to wear dresses/skirts/etc #as always - excuse the cropping job tumblr makes it hard for pictures to fit next to eachother neatly #best to click on each picture to see it fully #deadpool #wade wilson

thinking abt this screenshot of madara looking down on tobirama after attempting to take out his hurt over izuna's death on him .. but tobirama cannot die, he cannot feel pain and izuna is dead anyway so its not enough

#posts #madara #sorry i feel like ive said this exact thing on some post already a while ago .. but i came across this picture again and it brought up #some thoughts #this scene's like the only instance during the entire war arc where we get to see him display any emotion #smth other than lust for battle or excitement etc #we can actually see that even for him as free of emotion as he comes off most of the time #there's quite an amount of hurt for him at the source of it too #mdr also kills sasuke after this. first tries to avenge izn's death but then goes and stabs a stand-in of his right thru the heart #and he looks so unhappy w this afterwards #cuz he feels like he Has to doesnt want to kill him but has to #we also see him remember hsrm's backstab and this time it is not a romantic memory #contrary to the first time when he talks abt him to the 5 kage #here u can see that it did hurt him and he remembers every single word hsrm said to him .. #repeats them to sasuke and then applies that same logic to him as well #hsrm had to kill him for the village so now mdr for his version of peace. has to do the same thing as well #kill his own kin as a sacrifice to achieve what he wants #but also sfdgesfdfsd #just this interaction here w tbrm alone .. its so dissatisfying for him cuz like he wants do SOMETHING abt his grief over losing his #brother. but he cant. he cant even fuck up and hurt his killer anymore over it #its too late #he shouldve done that earlier but couldnt and now its too late #just like everything else is too late for him too. no way back anymore no way to reverse anything thats happened

My Personal Favorite Rocket-Centered Media

—

Rocket Raccoon (2014) — 11 Issues

The one that began the Rocket Renaissance. I don’t recommend reading this one first right off the bat, if only because I think it has a cooler effect if you read the comic after Rocket’s more somber stories, but it is totally a must-read. Rocket has been many different people in many different ways, but it’s important to remember his roots. (He’s so 2014 in this, and the art-style will totally take you out if that’s your type of thing. I know it’s mine.)

—

Rocket Raccoon (2016) — 5 Issues

Rocket’s been through a whole lot of shit up until this point, but being stranded on Earth is the cherry on top. His first solo-story, where his grand Rocket-esque, State-of-Liberty-destroying journey is narrated through absolutely gorgeous illustrations that get him so well. The story is fantastic as well, and maybe not-so-subtlety + amazingly takes a dump on America, sending an important message in general.

If you need further convincing, Rocket runs around in his underwear for about two issues. It’s hilarious. Check it out.

—

Rocket (2017) — 6 Issues

His second solo-story.

One of my absolute personal favorites that left me completely shaken by the time I was done with it. I can’t even really begin to describe it without getting too deep into how fucking insane it made me feel.

If you’re into gritty heist/crime sci-fi plots with a healthy amount of crisp, absurdist humor, you’re in luck. If you totally hate that, you’d probably still like it.

Rocket just has that effect on people.

But seriously, go in completely blind and read this. You won’t regret it.

If you need further convincing, yes, this is the one where he dons the infamous Stinger Suit you might’ve seen before on that one puzzle. He does fill out that suit nicely (not a reference).

If you need context, Rocket takes hiatus from the Guardians and gets tangled up in a whole bunch of shit he didn’t sign up for. He’s a bit of a pathetic meow meow. Totally worth. Also, one of the best styles for Rocket, ever.

—

Guardians of Infinity (2016) — 8 Issues

A really, really cool comic that starts off with Rocket being Rocket, “saving the galaxy” through… materialistic means. His team then runs into another team, who runs into another team. After an obligatory fight, they all find out they’re Guardians of the Galaxy groups from different time-frames.

Then the Collectors swoops in and plans to do something unsavory to our favorite raccoon! Oh no! :D

Really though, the writing for this story is phenomenal, and Rocket’s character is done so well. I love the way he’s portrayed in this one. So badass. So smug.

The comic also features one-shot stories that are a blast as well. He’s so silly. Go check it out.

GotG: Rocket and Groot Steal The Galaxy! (Prose Novel) by Dan Abnett

Guardians of The Galaxy: Collect Them All (Prose Novel) by Corinne Duyvis

Onto the novels that ripped my heart out.

Holy shit. If you’re. Well. Genuinely, right away, these two books are a work of art.

I don’t even know where to begin, but I just have to say that Rocket Man by David Bowie started playing over the radio as I finished Rocket and Groot: Steal the Galaxy and I felt something, like, stirring within my soul. I felt devastatingly. Something.

These two:

1. Are so, so criminally underrated and deserve fame. The amount of fucking heart put into these works are tangible with every word.

2. Deserve their own reviews, but I can’t even really begin to express how important they are to me.

So I’m just going to write their synopsis’s.

Steal the Galaxy!

A raccoon and a tree walk into a bar. The universe almost collapses into a Capitalist Armageddon. C-3PO stars as our narrator and MC. Rocket may or may not need a therapist. Groot is badass as fuck.

…Disguise sequence.

Gamora is also there. Hi, Gamora :3

Collect Them All!

How found and family can a found family get? Do people ask that question? If you have ever found yourself asking that question, and if you’ve ever breathed, read this novel.

A book about Acceptance and Love and all of that stuff. Which is honestly such a challenge to fathom sometimes, much less write about, but I suppose the Guardians always get it right.

Both of these books also certifiably and perfectly capture each character. If Vol. 3 left a big, gaping hole in your heart, this might help you or possibly make it worse. In a good way, of course.

If you don’t read anything else, if you haven’t even picked up a book in years, if you call yourself a GotG fan: read these novels. You don’t even have to know one thing about these characters to feel attachment by the time the journey is over. It’s a threat and a promise.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (Game, 2021)

I asked, how can found family can a found family get???

Some-fucking-how, GotG just. Defies all odds every single time . !

Please for the love of god, if you haven’t played this game, play it.

The tragedy that is the fact it was criminally overshadowed at the time of its release is just terrible. It’s genuinely, outside of my obsession, one of the best times I’ve ever had playing a video game in a long while. And it’s on sale often. Just experience it for yourself. It’s something so incredibly special.

—

Guardians of the Galaxy (2013), specifically #20-23

Venom attaches himself to Rocket and it’s fucking awesome. Also, I love the art-style he had under Valerio Schiti. He always got him right.

Get your hands on the comics however you desire, but the method to reading the novels for free is on Archive.org (where you can borrow books). Just be cautious, as only one person can borrow a book at a given time.

i love it when someone pitches an idea and then someone else chimes in all like yeah that's great! but then IMMEDIATELY turns it into a bitch fest about every other time theyve seen that same concept done wrong.

like hello. maybe dont??? focus on that? maybe be enthusiastic about this new version of the concept that you DO vibe with and stop dragging everything down into Complainsville?

idk just a thought.

#honestly the fact that your first immediate thought is of every single instance in which that concept didnt work is just. #RIDICULOUSLY disheartening for the person pitching the idea who is interested in potentially doing something with it #like it would make me go 'damn wow. so you DONT believe in me. cool thanks.' #🤷🤷🤷 #mack rambles
