Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.

#this post was inspired by me remembering the experience of reading death in the family #after only knowing the fanbase version and realizing oh none of that shit happened okay #like girl you don’t understand it’s so bad #Jason wasn’t even fired as Robin #He’s not accused of murdering anyone by Bruce #He’s not trying to prove himself at all he’s just looking for his mom #The reason Bruce didn’t go after him right away is because he was tracking down a goddamn nuke the Joker stole #Then after he finds it and handles the problem he helps Jason track down moms 2 and 3 #Also Jason died in like 20 minutes?? even less?? #He died in less time than it took his mother to smoke a cigarette #Bruce literally went ‘wait here I’ll be right back’ and was gone for less time than a trip to the grocery store #and then you go into the Jason Todd tag and they act like Bruce pulled the damn trigger on him #Like besties I don’t know how to tell you this he basically did everything right he possibly could have #Even him benching Jason from Robin temporarily happens so that he can get Jason into therapy about his trauma #Like the whole point is that neither of them did anything wrong bad shit just sometimes happens #That’s the tragedy. The drama. #Bruce couldn’t have made better choices in the position he was in and Jason was never going to make different ones #It was inevitable #Anyway rant over please read death in the family before I lose my mind #batfam #batman #jason todd #tim drake #dick grayson #damian wayne #bruce wayne

My unpopular opinion is that in languages with grammatical gender like french, it does make sense for Murderbot to be referred to by whatever pronoun is usually used for robots or constructs. (In french, therefore, grammatical masculine.) Because there are no traditional « it » pronouns in these languages for objects, and while there are neo-pronouns, they are things one must choose for themselves. Do you honestly think MB actually spent time thinking about its pronouns?! No it didn’t. On forms it picks « non-applicable ». When people ask it what pronouns they should use, its honest opinion is « why do you even need to talk about me. Just don’t fucking do that. Don’t think about me either. Just fucking stop perceiving me altogether! »

Thinking about what pronouns to use probably makes it way more uncomfortable than letting people call it what they’ve already been calling it. Making a conscious choice about its identity? And telling other people about it??? No thanks bye, it’s just gonna walk into the ocean now, see you never.

Lbr it probably thinks the only bots that get fancy pronouns are comfort units, and the pronouns are probably shoved into them by humans same as everything else. MB would meet a bot using a neopronoun and it would wish it could barf. Because in a language like french, he/him and she/her, when applied to objects, ARE fulfilling the function of the english « it ». Nobody is saying the table is a woman or related to feminity in any way outside of stand-up comedy; when it comes to objects grammatical gender really has fuckall to do with human gender even if we use the same words. Even animal species names have grammatical gender and everyone gets that there are male and female turtles even if the word « turtle » is a female word, it’s not that confusing.

(I know this is strange when your language has different pronouns for people and for objects, but understand that english uses the same word to indicate if I’m addressing one or many people, and that is confusing to me.)

TL;DR; stop harassing international fans for not getting the correct MB pronoun in english right off the bat. Yes in english calling it « he » or « her » or « them » is upsetting because it’s projecting an identity unto it. But same goes for trying to get a foreign language translation to use a pronoun intended to express or showcase an identity (or even a lack of one!). Murderbot has not thought about it this hard, refuses to think about it this hard -> and that is its only canon accurate gender identity.

#the murderbot diaries #taking a bat to an hornet’s nest there but I said what I said #I go by she/her because that’s the default people use for me even tho my own gender identity is also #ugh I would sincerely prefer not to have to deal with this think about it or even be perceived #and I would be hella pissed if a book of my life came out and people got into fights about my pronouns #trying to assign me the most politically accurate agender pronoun possible #when my own choice has always been specifically to let people call me the default because idc #and I don’t want to be identified by any identifier that might indicate I do care #and using a different pronoun even if its a gender neutral one is a CHOICE! #it does indicate a preference! and caring about it enough to pick a word and tell people about it!!! #Murderbot didn’t pick IT that is specifically the point! #it was used for it and MB just kept going with that #I mean imagine it if wrote down a different pronoun on its ID form one day and someone actually called it that #it would set itself on fire #its discomfort at having made a personal choice and the personal choice being respected would be off the charts #maybe it a later book after hella character development but I just don’t see it happening tbh #respect the agenders who just don’t want to get involved and use the pronoun equivalent of the default avatar that came with the account #PLEASE #that is all

with just about any incarnation of the doctor, any time they go “oh, but the master and i used to be friends 🥺” it tends to come with a sense of mystery, since they have such different goals, ideologies, and personalities. then you see some early first doctor episodes and yeah that tracks.

#smiling after starting the great fire of rome and kidnapping people #he gets better don’t get me wrong #but that’s definitely theta “would bash someone’s head in with a rock” sigma #just a bit mellowed out after a few centuries and also probably hiding a fuckton of trauma from whatever happened when he and susan left #devious gremlin old man #whenever he makes that face you know he’s up to something good or bad #iykyk #doctor who #classic who #first doctor #thoschei #if any of you know any comics or audios where one runs into the master please lemme know #it sounds so fucking funny and also rife with dramatic potential #the rasputin audio doesn’t count

people seem to deeply misunderstand book Alicent, including her super fans. the only difference between book alicent and show alicent is that the show hinged on Alicent’s victimization and infantilizes her while in the book Alicent was still a victim but sought out power and used her statues as a woman to help her. for example: in both the book and show Alicent is used as a pawn by Otto to gain access to the throne via marriage (but i believe his real intention was to make her at least a mistress and did not actually plan for Visarys to marry Alicent) however in the book Alicent understands her new position, and actively schemes and fights to hold onto it for herself, her family, AND her children. Rhaenyra never said she would harm Alicent’s children, both show and book make it clear her intention had always been the opposite, but that doesn’t matter. to let Rhaenyra, the woman who had everything Alicent could ask for: true autonomy, choice, and power of her own, ascend the throne would mean releasing any power Alicent (and her family i.e. Otto/the kids) had and in the book Alicent was simply not willing to do that. the show WANTS to paint Alicent as a victim and a victim alone, and yes she is a victim of her father/Visarys, the patriarchy, petty jealousy, etc, but in doing that they have taken all the complexity of her character, too. book Alicent wasn’t just the “evil step mother” she was complex. a young woman who wanted power and security, even if it meant the coast of war and usurpation, she was not defined by “duty for the good of the realm” whatever the hell that means. i am a true book alicent defender, she was interesting and complex. something she should’ve been in the show. the dynamic between her and Rhaenyra was realistic for the universe, even if it falls under a trope. Alicent was never “soft” or “weak” nor was she a good person and the show really changed everything to portray her that way. they want her to be seen as a misguided saint (literally look at the religious imagery used in posters/ads) but that is NOT Alicent! she was never a saint to start with! it makes me what to lose my mind!!!

Ok so when it comes to B&C next season, am I the only one who’s concerned about the fact that….there’s no Maelor in sight? And that Jaehaerys and Jaehaera are toddlers, too young for him to have been born yet? And that the Greens are being portrayed almost exclusively as the “anti-women, pro-patriarchy” team? And that right now there’s only two children for B&C to force Helaena to choose from? And the one who dies canonically is the boy, and that now her only other pick is the girl, who the age reasoning won’t exist for….

#i’m not sure if I’m being fully clear with what i’m implying #so just to be safe: #i’m worried that hotd will have helaena pick jaehaera during b&c because she’s a girl and “less valuable” #which i don’t think I even need to get into the reasons why that would be bad on various character and story levels #i have faith in the showrunners but this has been nagging me for a minute #please don’t do this guys #team green #i’m more team helaena than anything but just to be safe #helaena targaryen #house of the dragon #fire and blood spoilers #house of the dragon spoilers #hotd spoilers

Genuinely what was going through Iroh’s mind as he said that fighting the Firelord was the ‘Avatar’s battle’. Yeah I understand that history will see it as a power grab, but I think we have bigger problems than that. Like, I don’t know, THE FACT THAT SOZIN’S COMET IS IN A FEW HOURS AND THE AVATAR IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

#Bro was like I’m going to let this thirteen year old with a year of training fight my brother #who was been training longer then has been conscious for #Instead of me #someone who has dedicated his whole life to the art of bending #Not surprising coming from the guy who let his 17 year old nephew rule a war-torn nation #Just go fight your brother dude please #Iroh is a 100x funnier when you realize he’s literally the epitome of “head empty” #he just gets possessed by the spirit of idioms past every now and then #He’s literally doing what Zuko did in Ba Sing Se (saying everything was great and fine when it was clearly not) #except for a much longer period of time #he is so used to having his way that he just lives in his own world of ‘everything will work out in the end’ #this makes me think Iroh and Zuko are foils honestly #Azula and Iroh on the other hand are cinematic parallels #that’s why they hate each other #to some extent they know how destructive their mindset is but will never admit it #so instead they utterly despise each other #Would this technically make Ozai and Zuko cinematic parallels as well???? #because oh boy that would be ironic and messy #I don’t know why this turned into a character study of Iroh and the fire nation royal family but oh well #iroh #ozai #aang #zuko #azula #atla #avatar the last airbender

I need to say something guy now that time has passed…as a Leonie fan it’s so blatantly obvious that she saw Jeralt as a father/mentor figure and it was so annoying that the only joke you made about her was that she wanted to fuck him…the VA even acknowledged she didn’t see him romantically…justice for my girl!

#quinnramblesandjabbers #fire emblem three houses #enough time has passed #leonie pinelli #also I get that her support chain with byleth was ass but her other ones highlight how awesome she is #also this is random but FE3H writers it was weird of you to have Sylvain be transphobic/misogynist to Leonie in their supports #fe3h #don’t kill me please

mental illness gone once again hyperfixating on a dead mall near my house

#was looking thru liminal tag and saw pics taken recently there #i’ve wanted to go in there for like two years and i’ve begged my mom multiple times to take me #and of course as soon as i go on my own #i find out that it closed for fire safety two months before :)))) #so all the doors were locked #this was back in february #but the pics i just saw on here are from this past september #and the person says they took them themself #i sent them an ask asking how they got in #bc holy shit it’s beautiful in there. #from the pictures i’ve seen it’s absolutely gorgeous #and i want to experience that myself and not thru pictures #i’ve actually been in there before but it was when i was like three so i don’t really remember it #i’m hoping those pics aren’t old and that they actually found a way to get in recently #bc if so i want to go #it’s so beautiful you don’t understand #i’d say which mall it is but i don’t wanna give away my location #praying they respond since they last posted a month ago #please please god i want to get in so badly #k.txt

I have absolutely nothing new that I haven’t said before to say about the fire scene in the beach just that it GETS me everytime like what an absolutely flawless scene in television we learn so much about each of our villains in such a short amount of time without it ever feeling rushed because the episode is perfectly written & paced

#im so sorry but the fire teens are a little bit more interesting than the Gaang #as a group #in the one episode we get with just them #like good lord there’s a lot to unpack #sorry. who said that? not me #pretend you didn’t read my tags so I don’t get hashtag cancelled please #thaaanks 🫢 #atla rewatch 2024
