Catwoman's new sidekick (dc x dp)

This is very loosely inspired by this prompt. Enjoy the blurb:)

Danny didn’t really like guns. Not the ecto-weapons his parents made, but the actual bullet-filled guns. He knew how to use them, as that was what his parents had based themselves off of to create their own ectoplasm-powered version of it, but he didn’t like them. So when he’d found one not only loaded, but with the safety off in his apartment’s garbage bin, he’d plan to take it and go throw it in the river to make sure nobody would get to use it. Danny wasn’t exactly shocked to see it, this was Gotham after all, but it was a bit of a nasty surprise to say the least. It wasn’t like it could really hurt him anymore, it seemed halfas had a sort of built-in instinct for going intangible (which had explained why the Nasty-Burger-explosion-that-never-happened hadn’t affected him despite being taken completely by surprise).

Not to mention he was already in a bad mood at the news that Vlad was in the city right now for some rich guy nonsense, which Danny was 100% sure meant the fruitloop was going to come by to bother him at some point in the next few days.

“Hello, Daniel,” came Vlad’s voice from behind him as if summoned.

“Get away from me, you creep,” Danny answered, not turning around. Instead, he started walking in the opposite direction.

“Is that anyway to talk to your unckie Vlad?” The man said with his smarmy tone. “And I came by such a long way to come see you.”

“You saw me, now you can leave.” Danny didn’t bother turning his head as Vlad caught up so they were walking side by side.

The billionaire tsked as he looked around. “It’s such a shame you live in such a poor neighbourhood. You know the offer to pay for your tuition is still open.”

“Not in a million years,” Danny answered dryly.

“You’re just as stubborn as my dear Madeleine used to be,” Vlad sighed and Danny felt the disgust twist his features into a grimace.

“Still being a creepy disgusting old loner, Vlad?” Danny snarked. “How many cats are you on, number 5?”

There was flash of anger in the older man’s eye before he smirked. “And how is dear Danielle these days, it’s been so long since she came by. I think she’ll be due for another meltdown soon.”

On impulse, Danny raised the gun, knowing full well the man would go intangible faster than any bullet and pointed it at Vlad. “Don’t you dare touch her.”

“Oh please, Daniel,” Vlad scoffed. “What are you going to do, shoot me?”

“Maybe,” Danny retorted.

“It wouldn’t change anything,” Vlad dismissed.

“Might make me feel better,” Danny said even as he lowered the gun a bit, knowing it wouldn’t do anything.

Vlad knew this just as well, and he sneered before turning his back to Danny and walking away with a parting shot. “I always get what I want, Daniel. Whether it’s through you or her.”

The gun that Danny had lowered slightly now came back up. He was so tempted to empty the stupid thing at Vlad, no matter if it would all pass through him. Before he could do anything though, a voice from above sounded.

“He’s not worth it, kid.”

Danny looked up to find the masked face of Catwoman peering down on him.

“He deserves worse than this,” Danny said, mind still on the temptation of shooting at Vlad’s intangible back. This was a deserted part of the city, it wasn’t like it would hurt anyone else.

“I promise there are better ways to make him pay,” Catwoman answered.

Danny scoffed bitterly. “Vlad’s so rich, he can pay off anyone and cover up any scandal I could think of.” And if money didn’t work, there was always straight-up overshadowing innocent bystanders.

The masked woman hesitated for a while before she called down determinately. “Look, get rid of the gun, and I promise I’ll help you make him pay.”

“Really?” Danny wasn’t too sure what that entailed but anything that would hinder Vlad was a go for him. “You promise?”

“I do,” she stated with conviction. “But you have to lose the gun.”

“Yeah, ok,” Danny said. He was going to do it anyways, but if she wanted it gone even faster, Danny wasn’t going to argue.

Selina watched as her new sidekick dropped off the gun into the river. It fell in with a splash that had something in her curling comfortably. Maybe Bruce was really rubbing off on her if she was picking up strays

But, Selina had a good feeling about this. Talking a kid out of murder had been how Batman had gotten his first Robin, after all.

Part 2

Ok I think I've figured out why nandermo is Like That if they aren't planning on making them canon: it's a running gag.

It's the classic "oh haha this relationship has the same tropes as this other relationship! Even though they aren't like that! Isn't that funny?" trope. I don't know if I'm getting this across very well but I've seen stuff like this before, especially in sitcoms and ESPECIALLY between men. It's honestly a very common homophobic trope even when it's not trying to be malicious. It usually comes in the form of male friends being overdramatically jealous of the other's new partner, or otherwise overly comfortable with each other only to hit the audience with the "no homo" puncline.

The problem with nandermo is that those are usually one-off jokes, or if they're repeated they're usually just for one episode. It's also usually between straight men with female partners, just to play up that "they aren't ACTUALLY jealous in a romantic way, it's just a bit!" or whatever. Nandermo is neither. They are both queer, (usually) single men, and the moments between them are EVERYWHERE in the show. It's woven into the fabric of their characters.

So yeah, I think they just committed to the bit too hard and accidentally crafted a beautiful and tragic queer love story when their initial goal was just "what if boss/employee acted like lovers lol". And now they refuse to genuinely explore what they created.

#Paul did all this shit by ACCIDENT and now hes just backtracking like a coward #i'm so tired guys #wwdits #what we do in the shadows #nandermo #thats his boss #paul simms

I think it's possible to both acknowledge that fandom, as with so many spaces, is experiencing some of the creeping purity-culture stuff related to sex and non-Christian-traditional sexual content and also that fandom has a massive bigotry problem (most notably racism, but also misogyny, ableism, aro/ace-phobia, transphobia, biphobia, etc) and also a white nationalist/supremacist and pro-fascism problem (living largely though not exclusively in the HP and SW fandoms).

And part of this requires recognizing that a critique that a sexual thing is bad because it's "icky" or "problematic" or whatever is fundamentally different from a critique that something (even a sexual or shipping thing) is bigoted. And people have got to stop shutting down every critique of a ship as though they are the same purity culture nonsense.

The other part is recognizing that not all critiques of fandom have anything to do with shipping. Not everything is about sex. There are other things that people have been critiquing in fandom for a long time, and when people dismiss it all as just being part of a ship war, they are not only not bothering to try to understand what is being critiqued, they are doing a huge disservice to the fandom community at large by keeping it from being able to improve.

I absolutely want to live in a space where people are able to write and read slash fiction and kink and weird stuff and dark stuff. But I also want to live in a space that doesn't continue to drive away Fans of Color rather than listening to and respecting them, and that acknowledges the existence of bi people, and that treats women with respect, and that lives up to the progressive ideals that people keep saying fanfiction and fandom express.

Relevant comment threads from the OTW update post on Monday. Also relevant is this long but important post from Denise, one of Dreamwidth's cofounders.

(blanket content warning for discussion of CSAM and exposure to such in a moderation context)

Insight into how Legal's maximalist content stance hamstrung PAC's ability to do their jobs:

PAC historically has not had the discretion to calibrate its own policies. Content/Legal had to be looped in very often and exercised the power to veto and reverse PAC decisions. "Let me ask Legal" was a frequent response from PAC chairs about novel and ambiguous cases...

I understand that in the wake of last year's CSEM attacks, Legal has now reversed its stance and allows PAC to remove this content - however, the TOS has not changed. This indicates that the TOS did not create a legal requirement for AO3 to allow [possible CSAM], and so Legal's decision was down to personal taste. This seems like a very inappropriate exercise of power from in-house counsel. (cite)

Any content they had uploaded that didn't violate the TOS could stay, which is why we had to review all of the content they had created for violations - we couldn't just nuke everything. (cite)

The site is possibly noncompliant with US laws regarding retention of CSAM data

Other Stuff

How news post comments are moderated 🤦🏼‍♀️

Who's up for re-election

--

I also want to bring people's attention to Rebecca Tushnet, one of the members of OTW's Legal committee. Her name comes up repeatedly in comments regarding how Legal has interpreted things more widely than it needs to, as well as many stances based on her personal philosophical views rather than any accepted or industry standard.

I am not a lawyer, but that seems like a breach of ethics or at least irresponsible behavior unbecoming of a professional contributing pro-bono work to an organization.

Please keep calling for accountability and resignation of the Board and the Legal committee.
