#from himself

[bidisasterevankinard]

Interesting how Buck's clothes gets super tight (like he's not comfortable in his skin) only when he's not mentally stable. Like in 6s. And in 6s he's clothes ALWAYS almost ready to break on him because he's close to break. Because he doesn't know who he is and tries to fit in place not for him. He wears wrong skin, wears mask and his clothes show it

#he tries to find he's place #who he is #but all he tries is wrong #because he's hiding something #from himself #because he tries to still not be himself #evan buckley #evan buck buckley #911 #911 abc

I think we don't talk enough about how Q!Forever is suffering from empty nest sindrome and is looking for comfort in anything or anyone that makes him remember that he's a dad. No wonder he got so attached to Green (Gay) Ninjas, Pomchas and Coco so fast.

I didn't want to derail someone else's post, but your tags about Cheer are SO RIGHT

What exactly is the difference between;

Abusive Dad is dead so kid has to go into Social Services

and

Abusive Dad is in prison so kid has to go into Social Services?

(other than that one option gives the kid some measure of permanent closure imo, but yknow, murder bad -_-)

IT MAKES ME WANT TO EAT BEEEEEES!!!!

Like…the lack of thought that went into that plotline is just…WHAT!

Okay, Bruce and Jason racing to find a cure/stop Cheer…THAT makes sense. Saving Tyler’s mom MAKES SENSE as a parallel! Jason can be the kind of person to Tyler and Tyler’s mom that he and Catherine never had.

TYLER’S ABUSIVE CHILD-POISONER DAD IS IMMATERIAL TO THE SITUATION!!!!

Even if Jason hadn’t killed him he would have been in jail! Hell, he could have already been dead and it wouldn’t have changed what was going on with Tyler and Tyler’s mom!

So really the problem is STILL “saving Tyler’s mom”! THAT IS WHERE THE EMOTIONAL RESONANCE LIES!

Not to mention, you know…Jason being bent out of shape over killing a serial child-poisoner MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE! Him giving up guns because of that MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!

Like, it goes against all of his post-UtH characterization! AND all of his pre-UtH characterization! Just…ALL of his characterization!!!

And not in a way that feels organic and/or like character growth, either! It’s just stupid and inexplicable!

(Not to mention that like…okay, this is going to go into real life/abuse in fiction, but…Batman writers know that abused people sometimes kill their abusers, right? Like, in real life?

Because, okay, see…one of the reasons that I love Jason Todd is because I conceptualize him as a sort of an Angel of Retribution on behalf of victims—in much the same way that Batman is often conceptualized as the Spirit of (Vengeance/Justice/Whatever).

And, further than just bringing down punishment on those who hurt people…Jason takes that heat onto himself.

Victims don’t have to die to escape their torment—either by being killed by their abusers or taking their own lives like Gloria. And they don’t have to kill to escape, either. They don’t have to walk the path that he walks.

Jason takes that onto himself. He died so they don’t have to. He kills so they don’t have to.)

#ask answered #Batman: cheer #again lol #Jason Todd #Red Hood #this is why I have Cheer on my rec list with caveats! #the parts I like I *really* like…and the parts I hate I *really* hate. #I swear I talk about other comics sometimes. probably. #meta #also—with my conceptualization of a Jason I see Bruce as not wanting to ‘stop’ him but wanting to SAVE him. #my ideal version of Bruce is that he loves Jason A LOT. he’s always wanted to save him—from the streets #from himself #from the Joker. #He wants to stop Jason’s hurt. #But the thing is…he *can’t* take that hurt. #He can’t save Jason from what *has* happened—and that’s ultimately what he wants. #He loves Jason so much that he wishes he could just make all of that go away. #And he acts on this by trying to force Jason to stop walking his path. #Because Bruce can’t conceive of taking a life in a way that doesn’t damage himself. And so he sees Jason’s way as self-harm. #And in a way it is…but the same way that BATMAN is. It takes from them but it’s a part of them. They do it because they HAVE to. #Bruce can’t take that hurt from Jason—no matter how much he wants to—because it is *a part of him.* #and therein lies the tragedy of them. #ANYWAY #that’s just my perspective!

This is so awesome

#The article makes it kinda sound like it's just for his sons but he's been obsessed with trains forever himself #Like Phil we know it's for you #psa to anyone coming here now this has notes yes this is from an old article and I know this already #It's from 2008 he's not releasing anything anytime soon I know

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)

#Also I'm saying this as someone who actually watched quite a few of Somerton's videos #And noticed those patterns and stopped watching bc I recognised them from here #and had already learned to unlearn them after being so exposed to them here #And tbh I think anyone who hasn't had the luck or made the conscious choice to seek out ppl who pushed against those narratives #Would absolutely have fallen for this man's bullshit. Like let's not kid ourselves we see takes like this every day on this hellsite #2014 me would have. For sure. #This is next to the plagiarism issue which as Harris points out is an Internet wide issue and this includes tumblr #James Somerton #hbomberguy #todd in the shadows #This brought to you by a conversation with my wife yesterday #So many ppl on here don't deserve to meme or be this self absolvingly critical of this man #The call is coming from inside the house #The man has a tumblr it would legit not surprise me if some of the things he supposedly made up himself he did actually get from somewhere #And that somewhere was a tumblr post

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

#seeing some discourse and im not saying lucy grey didnt know #im saying she never dropped the kind of hints that she knew like she did in the movie #or if she did snow isnt worried about them until he very suddenly is consumed by them #snow is not concerned about whether or not she believed him. of course she did! hes snow! #but then shes gone…. for a while…… #and its the sudden immediate drastic unravelling that comes across so clearly in the book #that i knew wouldn’t translate to screen yet still cant help but miss #the hunger games #coriolanus snow #tbosas #lucy gray baird #not a crime or anything just a note that i cannot stop thinking about #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #this is all from memory of reading it quite a while ago. so maybe 3 pages is an exaggeration #but i remember it happening VERY quickly and without much external cause #like we as the reader have no indication as to whether shes nearby or not. #snow has no idea either. he just SUSPECTS. and his suspicion breeds the hatred that has been bubbling inside him all this time #he hates how she undoes him. he hates that he WOULD run away with her if shed let him keep his secrets #and he HATES more than anything that she makes him WANT to tell his secrets #he wants to be vulnerable and reveal the ugly nasty parts about himself and still be loved #but he does not let himself and it is everyone’s downfall #he chooses cruelty bc it is easy and familiar and makes him feel more powerful than the vulnerable give and take that real love requires

Prompt:

After some very eventful weeks of Jason’s debut as the Red Hood he takes a well deserved night off and decides to crash in one of his safe houses.

He did not count on one of the Bats finding him there.

So to keep his plans from being torpedoed entirely Jason goes with the split second decision of pretending he was held captive by the Red Hood.

#Jason I-did-not-Plan-this-through Todd #Jason pretends he got kidnapped by—- himself #he’s going the full victim act here #breaking out the tears for this one #maybe Batman and Nightwing find him #and it’s a huge shock for everyone involved #Jason has that one moment of ‘do I shoot them?’ #and then promptly decides to enter an a grade acting class by crying for his ‘family’ to please save him from the red hood #jason todd #batfamily #dick grayson #bruce wayne #batfam #robin #tim drake #red hood #batman #prompts #fanfiction #fanfic #batfam fic #batdad #under the red hood #Au #alternate universe

sometimes. i just have to remind myself that percy took annabeth to paris. like, canonically. he forgot their one-month anniversary. and took his girl to paris to make up for it. the standards are in elysium.
