#gnashes my teeth about it!

[scribefindegil]

Me, a person who is deeply earnest 100% of the time: I am going to write a bunch of fic from the point of view of characters who are earnest maybe 1% of the time, if I'm being generous, and are otherwise hiding behind 300 layers of calculated bullshit! This will be fine and cause no problems!

Me, actually trying to write said fic: Hell hell hell hell hell

#reigen why are you like thisssssssss? #dimple why are you also like this #gnashes my teeth about it! #it's FINE i'm doing it it's just also. A Challenge. #mob talk

"this is more than friendship and I love you to the core" seems way more plausible as an actual line in the show when you remember the next episode is gonna be buck being jealous that eddie has a new friend

"this is more than friendship"

"I love you to the core"

just seems... fitting is all

bad governance university era!

spartaco & crasso are (initially) on opposite ends of the student activist spectrum (crasso leans towards reformist movements, spartaco is more radical) and they spend a lot of time arguing, but at the end of the day. they’re still making signs and showing up to the same protests. incidents, of course, happen.

you can read a brief chronology on the history of political protest in the Philippines here, especially the sections for the Third Republic and First Quarter Storm, if you want more context on the reformist/radical movements that this era of bad governance is drawing from.

Thinking about how when Dream is making his way to the tavern after talking with Death, he smiles at a man and the guy physically recoils from him so Dream stops smiling...and then he meets up with Hob 😭 and Hob smiles at him 😭 and when Dream smiles in return Hob doesn't shy away but instead smiles even BIGGER 😭

It is vitally, vitally important that Clark Kent is boring.

I don't mean 'boring' in an inherently bad way. A desk job is boring. Data analysis is boring. Due process is boring. All of these things are imperative for a functioning society but almost nobody will ever be praised for them.

When my car got stolen a year ago, the guy who took it stole a bunch of other stuff too. I was sitting with a cop in a backroom of the campus police station for almost an hour while he was doing paperwork (to make sure everyone would get their stuff back), and at one point he looked up at me and he said, "sorry about this. It's not all shootouts and car chases like on TV."

And I almost said, "well, due process is sexy" (I didn't, for obvious reasons). But he looked surprised when I told him I thought due process was pretty cool. Like nobody is supposed to think due process is cool. Things are only cool if they're glamorous or flashy.

The guy who stole my car was horribly addicted to meth. The sheriff told me, "you should press charges so we can put him away for as long as possible."

The sheriff was lost in a world of heroes and villains. He was the "hero." The addict was the "villain." But the person who helped people was the guy at a desk, who went back over the mile long paper trail and returned every stolen item to its owner. The important stuff is when some guy in an office writes an algorithm to save endangered whales, or when the third double blind test finally shows sufficient evidence for the efficacy of a new cancer treatment. The goose that actually lays the golden egg almost never cackles.

This is why the 'Glasses' comic is so important, to me. We live in a world which glorifies exciting acts of heroism but not "boring" ones. We live in a world that thinks people like Clark Kent aren't important, when they're often doing the most important work, solving the systemic issues, saving people who aren't lost yet. Sometimes we need firefighters, but in a perfect world, we'd only need safety inspectors.

And sure, Superman is necessary within the story. There are disasters and villainy he can prevent. There are lives he can save. But being Superman is ultimately a terrible sacrifice, and if the heroism wasn't necessary he'd be Clark Kent all day. That's what makes him not a cop: he's not enjoying the car chases and shootouts. He avoids letting things get 'interesting' at all costs. He avoids glory.

The comic Strong Female Protagonist (by Brennan Lee Mulligan and Molly Ostertag, BRING IT BACK) has several fascinating pieces of philosophy on superheroes and society, but my favourite is this:

Kal-el, living solar battery, isn't just someone who contributes to society from the outside or the top. He plugs away at boring, everyday kindnesses just like other humans. (This can make for great contrasts with Lex Luthor, who is the epitome of a light bulb person and could never understand why Superman would want to be a battery.)

Clark Kent is boring. Clark Kent plays things by the book. Clark Kent is sexy in the same way that due process is sexy, and any character who thinks the Clark Kent side is 'less than' the Superman side, is textually a goddamn idiot. "No glory save honour" and he will always have both.

#I can't find that post about how Americans glorify short acts of heroism but not long term ones #god tier trope is when someone likes Clark better than Superman #It's interesting. I was just reading all star superman #and a parallel I noticed was that Lois doesn't like Clark as much as Superman because he's clumsy and weak #because she has that weird lightbulb-centric american attitude going on #whereas Luthor likes Clark MORE than Superman BECAUSE he's clumsy and weak #because Luthor associates 'battery people' with 'being an exploitable resource for ME' #and BOTH of them are WRONG #gnashing my teeth crying on the floor etc etc #superman #clark kent #dc #posting this WITHOUT EDITING ARE YOU READY BOYS #IT IS PAST MY BEDTIME #anyone else out there read sfp #is it ever coming back #they were so close to finishing it #that comic shaped my whole brain
