Maybe I’m just a notoriously cranky gay lady or something, but there’s something really weirdly funky about how an officially published reference book like today’s DC Book of Pride comes out and without much fanfare has some curiously sanitized edits of many important character’s histories.

These histories are often messy and difficult, but being honest with them serves two purposes. For one, the characterization and history in-universe of the character are built off of those things, you don’t understand things like Hartley Rathaway’s decisions and quirks without knowing how being gay and negative reactions to him being gay shaped him.

On the other hand it’s also vital many times to real life queer history -- these stories become little parables of the struggle of this community over time. We become attached to these characters and stories because through the mess and the pain, we see our own struggles and capacity for triumph. Kate Kane being kicked out of West Point for living her truth, Renee Montoya going through the harassment and terror of being forcefully outed -- those aren’t just the character’s stories, those are our stories. We get comfort and encouragement out of them.

But maybe even more importantly and downplayed right now because it’s all but hidden inside the text of the reference book itself is the fact that they have, out of nowhere, seemingly completely retconned the family history of Alan Scott, Todd Rice, and Jennie-Lynn Hayden. 

Alan was not aware he had children. Their mother, without Alan’s knowledge, put Todd and Jennie both up for adoption. They both endured a lot of trauma and pain as a result that completely altered the course of their lives and, especially for Todd, is VITAL to understanding his character and behavior once the narrative picks back up with them in their teenage years, when Alan finally meets them. 

It’s also, by the way, why they all have different surnames. 

But apparently, out of the blue, this reference book has decided to inform us that this history no longer exists? This is DEVASTATING for Todd’s history in particular. I’m not sure how to reconcile this?

idk man. If you’re going to be a reference book, maybe make sure you’re clear about what the continuity of everything is first?

Forgot to share it before, but I got another blorbo plushieee- aaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! ( o >w<)o <3<3<3<3

(yes, I give my plushies goodnight kisses, they deserve it ò///ó)

Finally, I have at least one piece of merch of my main blorbos! :,D (Mike plushie is not official but who cares, he's perfect anyways <3)

Also random storytime moment: when my dad saw me with marketable plushie Mike he was cooking some kind of bread (питка/ pita) and said that he would try to draw him on the bread and he actually did it! (he said that he gave him one antenna because he thinks that Mike is an alien). In the meantime, when my mother saw him she couldn't stop laughing saying “His face, he just looks so silly” X,D

Hot take apparently but I don’t think landos delusional to renew his contract with McLaren. If we compare the development of max and redbull to Lando and McLaren a lot matches up. Yes Lando hasn’t gotten a win yet but McLaren has been investing in lando since he was 17/18 years old. They’ve taken on his development and helped him and he’s a phenomenal driver now, whether it’s his tire deg or the way he barely has crashes and costs. I feel like people forget that McLaren is landos team he is building that team up like max did with redbull. He finally (hopefully) has a car fighting for a win especially since Lando and McLarens car last year was the closest car to the rb19 and max. Anyways ln4 for 2024 pookies 🫶

i love being known. i think that being known and remembered is the ultimate way i know that someone loves me. i recently was given an arizona tea by a good friend of mine yesterday and i didnt even need to ask for what flavor i wanted. they just knew to get me the peach one. feels silly, but i am so loved and i see it in the form of metal cans of arizona tea.

#rena rambles #feeling sentimental tonight… #you are so loved

the thing with people who lack affection and love, is that every little touch is the world. every kind gesture, the gentle brush of skin against skin, soft smiles flashed from people they know or strangers, happy belly laughs and simple acts of love like making a cup of tea or plucking a flower, intimacy in the little things, they all mean something. a soft hello or a quick i love you. a text from someone they care about or a reminder of how much they mean to someone. they find that love and affection wherever they get it, with whoevers kind enough to care. a song recommendation, a sweet comment, a little pick me up or a simple compliment. people who have lacked affection and love do not ask for that comfort, they choose to search for it, and find it wherever they can.

i am not a marvel fan. i am a stevebucky fan. in my heart and mind it is still 2015 when all the fanfic writers contrived 100,000,000+ good and satisfying endings to steve and bucky's story, post-catws. those are all canon to me.

#civil war who?? never heard of him #i am opting out of the hellish reality of mcu post-2014 #renae rambles #stevebucky

read all of the issues with Rena in it for my fic except I forgot that DC doesn't like it when women have personalities or last names. I could've not checked anything and still have written a perfectly fine characterization of her because SHE HAS NONE

Sometimes Miraculous Ladybug does things that look dumb but that I enjoy anyway because the characters are fourteen. Like Alya’s blue camo supersuit? I think it’s hideous. I think it looks terrible. BUT. “I’m a stealth superhero now so I’ll change my costume to a camo print because it’s stealthy!” is such a middle school thought process that I can’t help but love it anyway

I was reorganizing my introduction post and I was trying to make links to the tags of each respective blorbo but for some reason WHEN I GO TO THOSE TAGS ON MY PROFILE A LOT OF MY POSTS DON'T EVEN APPEAR FOR SOME REASON WTF (I've checked and they are propperly tagged)- WHAT AM I SUPPPOSED TO DO NOW???

I've tried making like new tags to add but that doesn't work either...

#even in the rambling tag there are missing posts lol #idk what to do #help #I just wanted to organize my stuff neatly so it could be easy to find posts of the different blorbos respectively ;-; #imma still put the linked tags just to have that bit done on the intro #but I'll see if I can fix it or smth #'cuz like in the “self shipping” tag every post of mine appears as it should (even the reblogs from my main blog) #but looking at the tags of the name of each blorbo there are always at least a couple of posts missing #like wth dude?? #rena rambles #self shipper #self shipping #self shipping blog
