"you only say you're autistic because you want to feel special and different" actually finding out i was autistic made me feel significantly less special and different. before i was autistic i was Strange and Unpredictable in some sort of Unknowable way which Surely meant i was Predestined for Greatness (like storybook character). now im just some fuckin autistic guy like any other. i significantly prefer it this way btw

actually i think one of my favorite things about murderbot is how it is CONSTANTLY like "i lie so much i'm such a liar all i do is lie to everyone" and then the moment it's confronted with a situation where it has the choice between lying and telling the truth, it usually either (a) panics and tells the truth or (b) tells the truth because it doesn't know a lie good enough to assist in the situation.
at some point in one of the books it's like "so i told the truth. (i know, that surprised me too)" and i was just sitting there like murderbot, love, you're the only one surprised by this. you are a proven and chronic truth-teller. the only reason why it's convinced that it lies more than it tells the truth is because it spent 35k hours pretending its governor module was still active, and that was a survival tactic for a person who had no idea what to do after a lifetime of being told what to do, and with a high likelihood of being killed if it isn't smart about what it does. when it's for survival, does it actually count as lying??? that's a discussion for another day. what i'm saying is that murderbot is bad at lying and i think that's really funny.

i just simply don't understand what could possibly be the appeal for reading fanfic of a source material youre not familiar with. the ONLY benefit to fanfic fmpov is that my Best Friends from Media Property are there. if i didn't specifically want to spend more time with specific characters with the fiery passion of a thousand suns then i would just go read books. like i just can never wrap my head around it.

Things batfam stans need to leave behind in 2023:
Jason's Lazarus pit rage
Thinking Tim's parents were horribly abusive and hated him
Only caring about Stephanie in terms of her relationship to another person (ex: Tim's bestie/ex/gf or Cass' gf/bestie)
Treating Jason or Stephanie like they're stupid
Feral Demon Child Damian
Permanent sunshine boy Dick Grayson
Any "[blank] was the real violent Robin" discourse
Really just any reducing or sectioning of certain traits to certain batfam members and not allowing other characters to exhibit those same traits (ex: see sunshine Dick Grayson)
But also stealing traits from other characters and projecting them onto someone else (ex: Jason getting Dick's personality in fics. He is not the same type of big brother Dick is canonically)
Purposefully mischaracterizing characters for angst (ex: Dick sent Tim to Arkham, my beloathed. also again see Tim's parents)
Trying really hard to nuclearize the family. They are an unconventional family for many reasons, and that's why they're interesting.
"Alfred solos the batfam"
Making Duke "the normal one" and completely forgetting to give him an actual personality.
Cass using sign language because she can read body language (note: does not apply to YJ Cass who has damaged vocal chords)
Cass being used as a prop for her brothers
Tim being weak, woobified baby
Feel free to add on ~~
Don't send hate over these things because idgaf, they are harmful mischaracterizations, and many are built on total ignorance and often racism, classism, ableism, and sexism.
