#he's my traumatized little meow meow

Batman's cowl

I cannot sleep so it is time for y'all to suffer through my rant again (the again are for those who suffered them, either on whatsapp or discord).

For people who unluckily met me, you know I deeply believe that Batman should rot when someone'll buy common sense for Bruce and make him RETIRE. He's old. I know his joints crack the second he tries to sit up from a chair.

Anyway.

Dick would hate to take over. Minus 99 on 100, would not try again. He had his taste of the cowl and it was bitter. And he was never designed for it; Robin was always meant to be what Batman cannot be.

He was the light in the darkness, the laughter despite Gotham's protector's violence. I do not mean that there isn't something lurking in Dick's eyes- he's made of anger, of strong emotions, after all. But he represents hope in such a blatant, painful way that shoving him into Batman's black armor would be just like snuffing a candlelight.

Nightwing is more than what Bruce could ever imagine, and I will fight anyone who does not see his importance in the DCU. I will die on this hill, you cannot change my mind.

I had a rant on Jason, but there are new points I want to target. I think he has the ambiguous luck of being both in the middle of things, and then got away far enough that he could see the horrifying cycle of Gotham, feeding on Batman's and his rogues' neverending battle and understanding what it means. He is right that, in killing those villains, he is saving far more innocents than Batman ever will. It is true that, if he were to take the cowl, we could see improvements in Gotham. He would be breaking the cycle.

But would he be doing it as Batman, or as the Red Hood with new silly little bat ears? After you take away Batman's reason of being (Bruce's trauma, duty to the name Wayne and need to do, to be, good), after you take away his ethics ("Batman does not kill"), what is left? An empty husk, with a tarnished history.

Jason rose up from what was made of him. From the street rat, from Robin's replacement, from the Joker's victim. He will not be restrained again to the whims and definitions of others.

Tim... is the hardest for me. Because he would make a good Batman. An efficient one. And that's where the danger lies. It has been shown, again and again, that Tim's drawn a line in the sand. And while he keeps strictly to it, sand shifts, as time goes by.

Tim's whole thing is being what is needed, at that time. He became Robin, part admiration, but mostly because "Batman needs a Robin". He losts Robin, but still did what he deemed as necessary, when Bruce was lost to time - even going as far as starting an alliance with Ra's fucking al Ghul. Tim is driven by need. And confronted unceasingly by Gotham's merry-go-round of weirdoes, it wouldn't be too strange if he felt that an accident or two was needed.

Tim, more than anyone in his family, requires a support structure. Not one like Batman who, despite it all, is still quite a solitary figure, but a whole Team like the Titans- if only for the well-being of his enemies, if not his own. Tim needs people who push him to be the best he could be, people who need him to be their moral compass.

Damian, at the contrary of Tim, is one of the easiest one for me. He may had been raised with the idea of being Heir to the Bat, but he was always fairly independent, in ways his brothers weren't when they first meet Bruce; Dick needed support after his tragedy, Jason wanted a father who would treat him as a desired son, Tim was seeking anyone who could give him any positive form of attention.

Damian needed stability. And it sure wasn't Bruce who gave him that; it was Dick. So he never developped those strong feelings and bonds (he still has a strong relationship with his father, don't get me wrong) that anchored his brothers to Bruce's shore. Even as a Robin, the only thing tying him up with his predecessors is the weight of the mantle.

He has learnt that being the result of his bloodline does not mean that he was to be restrained by it. I like to think of Damian's story as one of learning; he's not Ra's al Ghul's heir, he is not Batman's heir. He is Damian al Ghul Wayne and he'll grown up to be something great all on his own.

And while his adventure still has a long way to go, I deeply believe that, at the end of it, he'd rather seek an identity for himself rather than take on his Father's.

Now, Cassandra. Either be it ethics, morals or just narrative interest, she'd be a great Batman. Just like Bruce, her inability to kill comes from trauma; from her taking life for the first time and swearing she'd never do that again. Her line is drawn in blood, and that means that she'll keep to it much more stubbornly.

At this point, the only reason why I don't think she should take over Batman is that I just believe all legacy heroes deserve more than taking over their mentor unfinished business. I' sorry I'm totally being blinded by this image of a perfect Cassandra who will succeed in everything she does.

I don't even need to talk about Signal. He's already so different from that whole Batman and Robin thing, don't lower him like That.

Specials mentions for Spoiler, who would shout "Fuck Batman!" with middle fingers raised. She had been a replacement Robin once, she's not looking to repeat the experience and she has learnt that she's much better than what Bruce deserves.

it will always be LIMITLESSLY funny to me that everyone decided to celebrate vash’s birthday on what’s quite possibly the WORST day of vash’s life

#trigun #vash the stampede #trigun maximum #and also a pretty bad fuckin day for anime!knives too #lmaoooo #anyway happy birthday to my beloved horrifically traumatized skrunkly little meow meows<3 #i say 'possibly the worst day' because he has had. multiple Very Bad days #someone hug him pls #my art

[princsstwilightsparkl]

coming out as aroace was somehow a million times more traumatic than coming out as a lesbian, i dont want to know what people irl will say to me when i start saying im an aroace lesbian...

#sa warning for the tags-> #'traumatic' as in lots of people threatened or attempted sa because they thought i was lying or they could fix me #other traumatic things happened but that was the worst part #at one point i dated a guy who essentially threatened and berated me until i admitted he 'fixed' me #and he seriously believed it #(my coming out timeline is complicated cuz i went back in the closet as aroace for a while- came out as lesbian- then as aroace again) #and people STILL say shit like this to me #something i experience as both aroace and a lesbian is how people will say they 'dont believe' me #because i have little crushes on fictional men ?? #like HELPPPP OMG. me thinking kristoff from frozen is hot does not negate that i have zero attraction to actual men at all #like thats actually a hilarious thing to say #aromantic #asexual #aroace #arospec #aro pride #meowing (yapping) #venting #?

It's pretty fun for me to play Zelda games in a manner mostly isolated from fandom opinions. Like don't get me wrong I've absorbed a lot of LOZ spoilers, headcanons, interpretations etc. via osmosis, I am not playing these games blind. But regardless of how many spoilers and fanart/fanfic I've seen going through the AO3 tag after playing BOTW was still an Experience because it made me realize that the way I interpret both Link as a character and the game as a whole is apparently completely counter to the majority fandom opinion. Something I was blissfully oblivious to while playing the game.

#Once again I want to become a more genuine person who approaches media analysis on a basis of joy in its own right #And not lead every one of my posts with 'so I've seen ppl do this and here's why I think they're wrong' #I am failing bc I'm full of spite but worse than that I also genuinely enjoy being a hater #But I'm not even mad this time. I dont even think ppl are necessarily wrong to interpret #Post-calamity link as their traumatized little meow meow #I think it's less interesting than my interpretation bc I think it loses the contrast between pre- and post-calamity link #But its not WRONG. Link doesnt exactly get a whole lot of characterization even in botw #He's still mostly a blank slate so ppl get to do what they want with him. The game doest contradict it #I'm just. So confused ppl looked at botw and went 'link's trauma would be worse post-calamity or at least carry over in its full force' #Like u don't think the hard reset that was the shrine of resurrection and experiencing the wonders as a free spirit like #Had. Y'know. An effect? #I honestly just don't think post-calamity Link is all that traumatized anymore. I think that shit was more effective than therapy #It's not an uncommon interpretation im aware but im still shocked at the amount of ppl that didnt have it #Does that make sense or am I insane? #My posts #Loz #Botw

New Spidey just dropped! Cyberpunk android P.E.T.E.R. from a universe where Parker Spidey dies. He hates being called Peter Parker and had a Very complicated father/son dynamic with Octavius

#spiderverse #spidersona #spiderman #spiderverse oc #I love returning out of the ether with a really fucked up guy and then leaving again #anywho Octavius built him in a haze of grief and regret after Peter was killed #PETER was kinda meant to replace Oc’s protege #they were really dysfunctional but they definitely loved each other #PETER has a very complicated relationship with his predecessor #but he also really struggles to invent his own identity #he’s my poor little meow meow (I traumatized him beyond belief)

somebody has certainly already said this but i was rewatching eclipse lake. and. this line. with the knowledge that hunter is a grimwalker

dana ur paying for my therapy

#the owl house #toh #eclipse lake #hunter toh #grimwalker #the owl club #toh hunter #i hope he's doing alright #if anything bad happens to him in king's tide i will riot #my emotional stability is riding on his wellbeing #he's my little meow meow #he's just a little guy #just a little traumatized dude #although it is important to note that after saying this he trips amity and runs off to eclipse lake #at this point in time he was not that adamantly worried about 'being replaced' #he was just a jerkface #a traumatized jerkface #but a jerkface nonetheless #although this scene is EXCELLENT foreshadowing #this is the first time ive watched eclipse lake since hollow mind #and oh my god this foreshadowing i am obsessed with toh writers #but at this point in time he was not my little meow meow #i probably would kick him in the shins and make fun of his outfit #but anyways i am terrified that something is going to happen to him tomorrow #especially considering belos and the collector AND luz are inside the titan #and hunter is heading that way #and in eclipse lake they are technically inside the titan i think?? #like they're in the titans veins?? #anyways i am #scared

people that can't accept that astarion's alignment is absolutely, definitely, canonically fucking !neutral evil!, are hilarious to me. idk how??? did we play the same game?? genuinely?? do you think neutral character would approve of raiding the grove & killing a bunch of refugees & killing the gnomes etc???

#he's an asshole (affectionate) and I love him for it. I love pre-ascension astarion he's so fucking cruel and funny #also. btw. character being evil doesn't disregard his trauma. idk who needs to hear this? but even if he was like he was in ea... he'd still #be a complex fucking character. he's not a “absolutely the worst person in faerun with zero redeeming qualities he's just evil and it's all” #but he's also not a “just a baby UwU his acts of cruelty doesn't actually count at all and he approves of worst things because ✨ trauma ✨” #he's fucking complex?? hello??? #he's a character with a lot of nuance to him and him being neutral evil doesn't take it away?? he's selfish. he's manipulative. #literally enjoys killing people for fun?? that's what makes him interesting. he doesn't have to be the perfect victim to enpathize with him #he doesn't have to be a good person in a slightest to be still be deserving of revenge #redemption (or power and vengeance). #he doesn't have to be a “poor little meow meow just a traumatized baby” to have empathy for his character & relate to him & love him??? #that's the whole appeal of character??????? #but you can't deny that he's evil (at least pre act 3 although he DOES approve of evil choices there too; regardless of path) #OKAY RANTING OVER A FICTIONAL VAMPIRE MAN OVER #it's my blog and I deserve to be annoying here and write whatever I want. so here's that #delete later #eldrich.rambles #eldrich.rants

we decided to watch profit (1996) bc we are nothing if not morbidly curious and I don’t know how to process what I’ve just seen

#but profit IS now my poor little meow meow and I won’t be taking criticism at this time thanks #that aside they were really like how do we make character the weirdest little freak known to man #and also give him a traumatic backstory that would be too over the top in a whump fic #while also making him gaslight gatekeep girlboss yas slay #…. I won’t say no notes but I have no idea what my notes would be because my brain just short circuited #they weren’t wrong that man can sure be curled up naked in a box because he can’t sleep any other way #I’m aware I sound insane but what I just witnessed was BEYOND. lmao #to be clear we only watched the first episode lol so I’m sure we’re in for a Ride #anni rambles

I got a strong urge to draw Hunter so here he is :’D 

#my first time drawing him would you believe it #he was quite fun to draw actually #i like him #traumatic little meow meow #hunter #toh #the owl house #mine #my own art

[kitty-treats]

im an adult. i should not have a crush

#meowing #it's very genuinely nothing serious and not genuine like romantic feelings but it's something and it's weird and i'm traumatized #and scared of having multiple partners again after 2021 #and also he's probably not ok with it and my wife probably won't be long-term either for a little while and just. dang #so i've got this wall up to where it won't form into anything more #i just hope that we stay good friends for a long time because he's genuinely very sweet #tortured and fucked up mentally but isn't that how they all are

[samsrowena]

why do you prefer late seasons sam? genuinely curious bc i would like to appreciate him more lol

oh i am so glad you asked!!!!!

alrighty so. basically. the thing about sam in the late seasons is that he is just so traumatized. like deeply DEEPLY fucked up. and i honestly just find that so very sexy of him

AKLSJFKSKLSL sorry for being deranged but i can't help it. that really is the main appeal for me... but i think also i just have a lot of trouble connecting with sam in the earlier seasons. i still love him i really do! i just don't "get" him a lot of the time???

whereas in the later seasons i'm able to do so more easily through his relationships with other characters like dean (the s10-15 sam&dean dynamic is my fav because for starters they finally stop that whole 'fighting for the majority of the season' thing unlike s4 and s6 and s7 and s8 and s9 lol) and also rowena (there's a post i saw soooo long ago which talked about becoming a sam understander through samwena and i WISH i could find it because. literally me!)

but yeah i mean i definitely agree with the consensus that in the later seasons sam needed more storylines and stuff and that they neglected the hell out of him as time went on (i will forever be furious we were robbed of proper witch sam! and also just like taking his psychic powers away in general)

but to claim he becomes boring or whatever? could NOT be me. he's not the smiley and happy-go-lucky lawboy he was in season one. but he SHOULD'NT be. he has been through so so much and he's so so tired. he's fucking exhausted. he doesn't open up anymore. he's scared all the time (he flinches when someone yells or when a door slams or when there's loud noises like hello????). like literally he has just been tortured and violated and betrayed and every other possible horrible thing under the sun and he is the absolute shell of the person he once was and that's! the! point! like that's exactly what you're supposed to do!!!!!!!

so yeah. sorry anon, i probably didn't convert you to late seasons samgirlism with this answer alskdkfkdkj but maybe these excellent tags by daniel @i-have-doubts left on my late seasons sam gifset will help:

#IT'S SAM. LOOK AT HIM. BOYKING BLOODFREAK UNCLEAN IN THE BIBLICAL SENSE SAMWITCH#he's valid he drinks blood he teaches the future god how to use his powers HE'S A LESBIAN he's a loreboy HE LAPTOPPIN IT UP#he always felt unclean and just wants to make his brother proud#EILEEN THE MOST STUNNING PERSON IMAGINABLE IS IN LOVE WITH HIM AND THEY ARE REAL#the most powerful witch ever and also queen of hell also loves him so jot that down#HE FOUGHT THE DEVIL AND WON.

Guys I cracked the code as to why Mike is like totally a dick in season 3 and 4 even though he was such an earnest generous and good friend in season 1 and 2. And it’s not just about the internalized homophobia and whatever. It’s not that deep. He literally just turns 13. Like he hits puberty and it’s true that all of his friends are handling their hormones—plus all the trauma which we can’t ignore as a factor—a lot better than him but he’s literally just a 14 year old boy and he’s doing his best. He’s in his boys will be bugs era, just turned 14 thinks the world revolves around him etc etc. it’s fine he’ll be traumatized out of it in season 5 just wait and see. there will be bonding and apologies and we can all genuinely love Mike again without having to preface with “I know he’s kind of a jerk, but—” and I’m so excited for us.

#Mike wheeler #stranger things #mike wheeler apologist #like I’m not denying the fact that he sucks sometimes Mkay #his relationship with El? still very much on the rocks #his friendship with Will? will let’s him get away with way too much just bc he loves him like that apology was pretty weak m’dude #he literally did nothing else this season except have one encouraging monologue to El? he literally has no power and look how scrawny he is #i don’t even know where I’m going with this anymore I just have this soft spot for him and I’m willing to absolve him #of all his sins because he’s just a pathetic little meow meow and he eats sticks and rocks and mud and doesn’t care abt the govt and really #really needs a hug #and he’s not very strong but he’ll fuck u up if you’re mean to bugs (Will) #like he doesn’t give a shit about El being bullied but he was wandering around in the woods at night looking for Will when he disappeared #and like yeah boys will be bugs is criticizing teen boys for getting away with being assholes but. literally he’s 14 and traumatized #give him a break he doesn’t do anything genuinely heinous except that one time he yells at Will “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls #sorry this got way out of hand lmao #I don’t know what I’m saying anymore ignore this dribble #nia originals
