#this will all make sense when i am older

[willowser]

right now i'm obsessed with the idea of hot, super-nerd bakugou 🥺

like !! you knew him in junior high when he had little wire framed glasses and braces 🥺 and was kind of scrawny and a huge know-it-all 🥺 and he was probably very serious about like d&d and didn't allow you to play because it would "take too long to explain" and he did all your paired projects by himself because he didn't want you "screwing them up" !! a brat !! but then high-school comes around and you both separate and don't see each other again. not for a long time.

you go to college not too far from home, but the distance calls for a new apartment and a roommate that you get along with more than you expected to. she's the one with the car and occasionally you have to borrow it, or she'll drive you in to work and pick you up after your shift, when it's too dark out to walk.

every tuesday and thursday she has calc 2, and every tuesday and thursday, she spends most of the ride to work talking about the cute, quiet guy that sits alone at the back of the room. never pairs up with anyone or talks more than he has to. wears big, black headphones so everyone knows he's not interested. top of the class; someone somehow figures out he's been acing every exam, throwing the class average out of whack.

you're called in to work early one day and therefore have to borrow the car earlier than usual. you sit on the bench in the hallway, waiting quietly outside the room for your friend, and the minute the door opens, you're on your feet, peeking past student after student so you can grab the keys and run. you don't even notice him at first, the wall of man he is now; dressed in a black long-sleeve with a beanie on his head, almost hiding his hair but not quite. no glasses, no braces, and there are little hoops in his earlobes and he's grown into his shoulders really, really well.

the reason you look up is because he doesn't hide that he's staring at you, this guy out of the corner of your eye, and you don't even put two-and-two together when you see his face — at least not right away. he comes to a stop directly in front of you and you're just left staring at each other in the middle of a herd of other students, and he simply pulls one headphone off one ear and says,

"hey."

and — that's it. you kind of gape at him because he's much different than the version of him you knew and not half as sweaty or unapproachable and he remembered you. as soon as he saw you. stopped specifically, even though he doesn't talk to most people, apparently.

"uh, hey bakugou." you have to blink several times and clear your throat and your face warms under his unwavering stare.

whatever else he plans to say dies out when your roommate appears, too eager to be involved in your non-conversation, and he simply readjusts his headphones and walks off, only looking back once before he exits the building.

"what the fuck!" a swift smack is delivered to your arm as if you've done something wrong. "that's him, that's the guy!"

and you can't help but to remember him in class, the red rubber bands he wore in his teeth, arguing with a smaller, freckled boy about halo 3. slouching in his seat, leaning back too far until you had to flick him in the ear so his head wasn't all up in your space. sticking your tongue out at him, when you got your test scores back and they were lower than his. wary of how red his little face would get, when he offered to help you study after class.

"yeah," you say, snorting in disbelief. "that's the guy."

#he's such a dweeb !!! #i want to punch him !!!! #i've been thinking about this all day #and of course he's probably very unaware of how other people see him when he's older — after being a DORK all of his life #i hate him i want to sit in his rich parent's basement and kick his ass at d&d and rub it in his face #probably graduates early #just tests out and that’s why you don’t see him much #therefore he's farther than you by the time you get to college #but that's okay :) you'll take him up on his offer to help you study now :) #i am having a stroke idk if any of this makes sense i read it 400 times idk #✿ willow writes #✿ thoughts: bakugou #✿ theme: nerd bakugou

#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk #like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions #while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized #but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama #and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction #i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me #anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa #and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan #ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places #and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls #i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show #they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation #theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets #back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame #plus over done #it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan #but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions #also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island #from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference #and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading #and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references #cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on #i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand #i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix #god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china” #my brother in christ red is also important in japan #red is important in like many many asian cultures #i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches #like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan #but a lot of those comes from china in some way

[notthemonthbutmarch]

I’m thinking about Natlan and I just need one thing off my chest

If the theories are right and the Pyro Archon is currently dead and will be resurrection like the title of the chapter suggests, I want her to be a strong and respected woman.

Like, I know we’re already getting Murata and she’s gonna be a Murata Himeko expy (which I kinda don’t like but sure whatever Hoyo) from Honkai Impact 3rd, but idk I just feel like we need a single female archon that doesn’t have a bad relationship with her people AND is powerful.

Right now I think it’s safe to say that the power scaling of the archons is Zhongli, Ei, Venti, Nahida, and then Furina (I know she’s not an archon anymore I’m just including her bc I like her and I’m bias). Also, as an aside, this got to long so I’m putting it down here. I ranked Venti over Nahida not because her powers are weaker than Venti’s but because Venti has more experience. He can fight and knows the full extent of her powers and survived the Archon War; while Nahida would outsmart him no problem, Venti would overpower her physically I just wanted to clarify

Zhongli and Venti are from the OG Seven and have positive relationships with their respective countries. They’re both powerful and well respected.

Ei is hella powerful, but she did steal everyone’s visions so I don’t think she’s respected exactly. She’s more feared in my eyes. Like, absolutely, they respect her because she’s their archon and is powerful and is trying to change, but the people of Inazuma are very aware that Ei is capable of hurting her people if it means achieving her goal. OBVIOUSLY Ei herself doesn’t want to hurt her people and that was the puppet being tricked by the Fatui that did all that, but the people themselves don’t necessarily know that, so they just think Ei had a change of heart.

Nahida’s whole storyline in the Sumeru Archon Quests was reinstating her as the highest and most respected authority. Everyone loves her and for good reason! She’s great, and she’s doing her job as an archon really well. However, she is possibly one of the weakest archons due to age and experience. I can see her being a MIGHTY archon when she’s older, but how long is that gonna take? We’ll probably never see Nahida at her peak.

Then there’s Furina. Her storyline was AMAZING, I think we can all agree the Fontaine Archon Quests were great. However, Furina was seen as a joke or mascot by her people rather than an actual mighty archon. They just followed her because her voice was loud and she played the role well. Furina was never strong or respected, not until AFTER she lost her divinity for good.

Ei is strong but not respected, Nahida is respected but not strong, and Furina is not strong nor respected.

And this isn’t me trying to say Zhongli and Venti are bad or anything. There’s absolutely a discussion for misogyny in Genshin, but I’m not really opening that can of worms right now.

I’m just looking at the dynamics we have for the Archons and am hoping that we get a strong and respected female archon at some point.

It could be the Tsaritsa for all we know! The Tsaritsa is incredibly badass and there’s some indications that the intentions behind the Fatui aren’t that bad but their actions are, so it could be that the Tsaritsa is our strong AND respected Archon.

Yet, Childe’s line about her makes me think that people have their doubts, so is she really that respected as we think?

That just leaves Murata, and I am hoping that if the resurrection thing is about her, then I hope Murata is very strong and highly respected.

But if the resurrection is about someone else, say,the Pyro Sovereign, then I am BEGGING Hoyo to make the Pyro Sovereign a woman. We lost a female archon to a male sovereign I don’t want it to happen again.

#I don’t think any of this makes any sense to anyone but me #and again this isn’t some bashing of Zhongli or Venti or anything #they’re great #I just want a female archon that has the same type of faith in her as Venti has with his nation #or the same type of authority as Zhongli had #Ei could have that but for as much as I love her she did nearly whip all ambition and spirit from her nation #every time I talk about her I feel the need to say that I love her because I’m usually talking about her flaws #so yes I do love Ei very much #moving on Nahida would probably be both powerful and respected when she’s at her peak and older #but again I don’t think we’ll ever see it #if she’s still a baby a 500 years old then I don’t think she’ll be at her peak for a while #and then Furina #my poor girl got ROBBED #like good for Neuvillette and good for Furina in the end #but I still would have liked to see Furina as an actual archon #would I change anything about the Fontaine Archon Quest? no #am I still mad Furina got dethroned by a man? yep yep yep #am I happy that that man was Neuvillette? sure ig it could’ve been way worse #idk the only chance we’ll get a female archon with the same clout as Zhongli or Venti is Murata and the Tsaritsa now #and the Tsaritsa is evil until proven by the game to not be so I don’t want it to be her #I feel like having a female archon that is both strong and respected be the ‘evil’ one is kinda fucked actually #so either the Tsaritsa will be proven innocent in some way or it has to be Murata #Hoyo just give us one strong female archon who’s widely respected please and thank you #genshin impact #genshin #natlan #genshin natlan #genshin murata

#on one hand i can see why they would want to make jason a mentor to bao and all because parallels #but on the other.... i think jason and bao would been boring real fast #jason is like... older brother coded. bao needs his shitty uncle (khoa) it makes things funnier #plus i feel like once again its trapping jason in the ‘i cant exist without my life revolving around the joker’ loop hes been in #which is annoying and just wrong when people imply that to bruce and like... i get why jason it may be more true since yknow. #his life was cut short by him then he was forcefully brought back to life and it's personally traumatizing #but i still think it makes for such boring writing and doesn't allow the character to ever grow or change. #they wont let jason exist without that joker b-plot and if he takes on a kid that also been personally traumatized by him #then jason wont be allowed to potentially grow from it unless they make it about him caring about bao more and moving on because of that #but also... bao is like... 14.... #him having khoa as a mentor allows him to have more opportunities and experiences so he doesn't become joker based #like hes always gonna have that hatred for him. his life was changed by him and his parents murder. #but thatd be the ripple effect to cause him to be a vigilante and everything (like how it did with bruce) instead of his entire life #revolving around just the clowns and never growing from it. gotta have a nice contrast y'know?? #does any of this make sense? no. I'm sleepy and have a migraine. #am i gonna post it anyways and cringe in the morning when i reread it and realize people also can perceive my rambling brain mush? yes </3 #c: batman secret files: clownhunter #crypt's panels #jason todd #red hood #bao pham #clownhunter

society if hoo had them at uni age and the lost trio went to chb and chiron is like "how tf are ANY of u alive and unclaimed". wilderness was just community college.

#on a serious note this changes a lot actually. annabeth and percy would not be in chb anymore so when percy goes missing #its like. a genuine possibility and fear because demigods don't make it that old. there is also some added time between tlo and tlh as well #further adding to jasons isolation as being even WEIRDER than everyone else. he also would've been praetor for longer so maybe the romans #wouldve cared more. this also does away with the plot hole of ppl not giving a shit that jason piper and leo (and dylan) straight up #dipped. introducing piper especially to a summer camp makes chb less appealing because they're too old for that and thus makes their #departure from chb make more sense in toa. yet also it opens up the possibility of new rome uni.... which i cannot see any reason as to why #leo would not go there!!!!! outside of being banned cuz he bombed new rome lol. but pipers sexuality arc works for college too!!! ur never #too old to find urself. but also this is the question of if you are able to relatively function in society (this is more for piper leo fran #and i guess percy) then why would you even fight this prophecy??? anyway lol them being college aged is perfect cuz percy is literally #going to a new place and having a new transition with new ppl... like u do in college LOL. now the question is would hazel still be 13. nic #is a lot older at this point and perhaps has the same age gap as bianca and him did 🤔 cant remember. but also don't know why hazel was 13 #in the first place lol. idk. in my college hoo she is just a senior in hs about to graduate from spqr and thinking about staying there or #possibly going to newru after seeing frank make the decision the previous year! SAD! #anyway in hoo. percy and annabeth are sophomores. frank and the lost trio are freshman. #but then in toa. percy annie frank and the lost trio are all graduating cuz percy got held back and Annabeth failed after tartarus fr. #but then also know that piper never went to newru and is adamant about going to mortal uni. and leo kills in newru but is bored. nvm i #forgot he died 🧍‍♂️ ummmmmm ok. ignore leo. and jason actually. so um. ok that really threw me off but are u getting it. that's when apollo #is like 'heeyyyyy i need help pwease 🥺' and they're all like 'dude.' #OK! #but also i ackowedge that this is a children's book and i am not its demographic so god be with you.

chin in hands

idk folks. tonight i'm just thinking about the one (1) scene we get with matt and ashley. and mourning that we didn't get to see them interact more in-game. or like. at all.

i just think

i just. think.

theirs would be such an interesting friendship to dissect and study under a microscope skdlfjlskdfjsldfj

#queenie rambles about supermassive #if ashley lets matt look thru the viewfinder his reaction isnt anger towards her but exasperation and disappointment at emily #'maybe it's nothing' 'is it EVER just NOTHING with em?!' 'i mean...i guess not...' hmm methinks you two have talked about this #matt is clearly so comfy joking around w ash and her with him but hes kind of aloof and distant w josh and chris??? #which makes sense when you take into account they were prob in diff grades but we're led to believe those are ashley's BOYS so like....... #what's going on between you two huh. what's. what's all this then. #in t(a) i def had jess be the one who sort of convinces ashley to join in on the prank but the older and wiser i get the more i wonder..... #was it perchance matt #i have too many things to write rn and i am promising myself not to start new shit until i finish old shit but man. im just. thinkin. #did ashley go to matt's football games despite absolutely not understanding the rules??????? #did matt ALWAYS volunteer to be ashley's partner when there were group projects because he knew she'd take it seriously and not nag him???? #after josh and chris graduated did they hang out together at school dances?????????????????? #WHAT DID THEY WRITE IN EACH OTHER'S YEARBOOKS #oh im deep in it now i guess #WHAT KIND OF HUG IS H APPENING WHEN THEY SEE EACH OTHER AT THE END OF THE NIGHT IN THE HELICOPTER

"Write the fics you want to read," they say, while completely failing to account for how painfully cringe-inducing it can feel to read your own writing back years after the fact 🥲

#On the one hand I know it's a good thing that the older stuff makes me cringe #That means I'm growing and figuring out a more clear sense of what I like and don't like in writing #On the other. How am I supposed to enjoy any of the things I've written when editor brain is having a fit over them? #All this to say if anyone is ever re-reading my work and finds themself thinking like #“hey I don't remember it being written this way” #That's probably because it wasn't and I was overcome by the uncontrollable need to try and fix it #But also I think a lot of it is small enough changes that no one but me notices anyway #Personal #Writing

I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone / trying to find the one where I went wrong

#evermore #taylor swift #I love Taylor so much (obviously) and I think about her specificity and her femininity in relation to romance all the time #but sometimes she just has a way of seeing the human experience in a larger sense and capturing it in a few lines #that takes my breath away #it’s almost casual. but it’s not. it’s just CLEAR #IT’s sight. it’s vision. it’s this understanding of the human condition that strikes so deep #and that is expressed in words with the greatest natural-ness #it is very Shakespeare of her t.b.h. #and I know it will only grow as she gets older #nobody does it ALL like Taylor does. #even in the range of the quality of her insights and her vision. she does it ALL #she almost doesn’t even use discernment. it simply comes out of her in this flood #everything everywhere all at once. to borrow a phrase from the zeitgeist #but she’s not going to stop! it will only grow #think of the artist she’ll be at the end of her life #there is no artist I think of more when I hear ‘in paradise you will be the great artist God intended you to be’ #not that she isn’t that now. but she will be MORE. #it makes me cry I am crying

homestuck fans when theres no rhyme or reason to the trickster designs and its literally just a jumbled mess of hideous colors and vague candy themes which means theres no consistency to analyze to help with making fan designs

#now imagine if you will a very distraught face. because i cant be bothered adding an image #ANYWAYSSSSSSS i wanted 2 try making one but god its just so hard bc theres so many fucking colors and i suck at coloring anyway #i tried analyzing them to the best of my abilities to see if there was any consistency i could go off of......... but no theres Nothing #the only thing is that their cheek swirls are the same color as their pestechum colors. and thats it #even the outfits are different it seems to be slightly altered versions of their original outfits? #like roxy was wearing her purple knit dress when she got bonked but it was still her original outfit afterwards #their hair colors dont make sense their shoe colors dont make sense their head ornaments make a LITTLE sense.......... #jakes and dirks are the most obvious. pumpkin and orange soda its like their thing i guess #janes being a muffin makes sense cuz crockercorp baker etc etc #roxys makes the least sense...... i dont think there was ever any mention of cotton candy for her aside from when caliborn wanted his weird #smut to be color coordinated for whatever reason #whenever i make otufits its usually just varying shades of the same 3 or so colors so trickster designs are a nightmare #even my old trickster mode trollsona was like. 3 colors total LOL #not to mention i wanted to make this design for my trollsona. and we only ever saw humans in trickster mode #and looking at older fanart didnt help cuz everyone had decided unanimously that the canon designs sucked ass (they did) #and in the future we should all give each character a food or somthing similar to base the whole design off of (good decision) #blehh. i give up its too much of a pain-_- #anyway. maybe i really am sick i think i need to lay down #already slept literally all day but im still so tired.......... #i took painkillers and allergy meds in case of cat hair on bed but i still feel groggy as fuck #well whatever. itll probably go away soon i never really stay sick for long

Kevin and thea? Questionable at best legal yikes at worst

BUT

Thea literally didn't talk to Kevin for a year and a half when he ghosted her after breaking his hand "skiing" when she's literally an Olympic athlete in her mid 20's and came in guns blazing and Kevin still pulled?? Honestly idk if that makes it worse on her part

#like she waited for almost 2 years for kevin #madly in love or unhealthy attachment #its 3 am and im not sure if sentences ate sentencing so.. #take what you will #have i been with someone significantly older than me for years? #yes #but i wasnt like 12 when we started seeing eachother #so points for me #no points for thea #that boy was a baby #but now youre both in your 20s and ugh #wait they didnt talk from when she graduated from being a raven. so actually 2 years #on that note its bedtime #aftg #all for the game #when i reread this tomorrow i might delete it #depends on if it makes any sense #or has a point

lmaooooo i think i need to quit teaching forever and also bury myself in a hole. lol

#purrs #grading papers on a sunday and the WAYYYYY this one students paper just hurt my feelings so fucking bad. i mean it’s not just hers but like. #god. it’s the most childish thing in the world (which makes sense / is the literal problem. that i am a child.) but im coteaching this class #(WHICH I TOOK and my co-instructors were MY instructors and now im replacing one of them who’s also the one who left in july lol 😍😍😍😍😍😍) and #ive had WICKED impostor syndrome bc… not to air it all out but im airing it all out bc im so mad lol. they’re both older men with phds and w #wives and families and im a 24 year old in the first year of her career with a bachelors degree who stilllives at home w her parents and #also the two of them and the third instructor literaly developed this class together and again i TOOK IT as a student in their class 2 years #ago. so again… WICKED impostor syndrome. and the class is all abt figuring out how to thrive in different contexts that are constrained by s #social norms so it’s relevant to talk abt impostor syndrome and i have talked about it. and also i get substantial parts to lead in the #classes and whatever and take attendance and grade papers and send out emails to the whole class etc etc. so WHY are the other two #instructors getting shoutouts in the papers and i am getting… NOTHING!!!! naught a SINGLE mention. when i am literally fucking LIVING #THROUGH the things we’re taking abt in class abt the first year of ur career and impostor syndrome and shit……. oh iknow why! because they #don’t actually see me as an instructor because im short and a nothing girl and an IMPOSTOR!!!!! LOLLLLL 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 and the book chapter was the #same too lol like im the only co-author who doesn’t actually get individually named as making a contribution in the text of it and nobody #noticed but me because it’s a stupid thing to notice but i still noticed. awesome. i love being invisible and not actually mattering ♥️ < #<- has the mental illness that makes you utterly unable to see evidence of how you actually do matter and only hyperfocus on the evidence th #that you don’t <- but also is trapped in the psychijc prison of some parts of her environment telling her she does matter and other parts t #telling her she doesn’t so can you blame her for going CRAZY!!!!!!!!! like is this literally not the normal well adjusted reaction to have #to GENUINELY LEGITIMATELY JUSTIFIABLY upsetting thigns. when the circumstances are fucked up and deleterious 😍😍😍😍😍😍 #delete later #oh also im apparently not even an official instructor in Da System (which is a problem and it is not supposed to be that way) so i won’t #even get to read abt how the students fucking forgot about me and think im a nothing girl because they won’t even have a chance to give me #that feedback!!! lol. i think * and * should just do everything together because they are both qualified to do it. and i should spin off #into the abyss and quit my job and never be heard from again. that’s how this shit makes me feel. like ik it’s just a couple of students and #their opinions literally don’t matter but im like hm how about i go fuck off then since clearly i don’t make a difference to you. lole <3 #* i won’t get that feedback etc etc bc i am not going to get course evals because im not in Da System. lol ♥️

still thinking about twin-like jades but in cql... esp now that kk has the show where he plays twins... it might be just me, but while i Think that kk could sell both lxc and lwj, wyb's face is much more... youthful? when he's :-| and a king of microexpressions, it works, but i wonder if his wyb self wouldn't shine through if he played lxc as well. welp! we'll never know! but man i wish someone would draw that

#i'm not quite sure if you can see what i'm getting at with wyb here #like. if you have a mature face you CAN play a teenager (dlrb...) but no one's going to buy it #and likewise if you have this certain fresh youthful charm in your looks you probably won't pull off a wise older brother EVEN if 'older' #in this case still is young. cql lads don't look 15 AT ALL but if you assume they're a couple of years older then it works out #but on the other hand. i often see people surprised by the fact that kk is a '94 kid because they thought he'd be older. BUT i can't really #see it. he looks his age to me? esp when his cheeks are fuller. but then *gestures at self*. would others buy lhk!lwj...? HMMM #but also ah. cql has this thing where lwj really Looks younger. like you look at them and you go Ah Yes the didi #it's not just faces but also their figures (lhk is taller and broader). this is not an issue in other adaptations where they're supposed to #look the same. there's no problem of 'lwj looks too old' because. well primary because of same face syndrome but also #because again. twin-twin jades. #am i making sense? no. anyway #shrimp thoughts

#ramblings of a lunatic #decided to rewatch it again bc the toh finale has had me in a tizzy and while I'm getting better #it's definitely been hard just floating about in fandom space knowing that the show is ending and that in the scenario we do get more of it #in another form ofc #it won't be for a long time yknow? #it's saddening and back in September when i was uh. Very Sad bapc was really there for me #i was out here ardently defending the netflix series' writing bc i genuinely thought it was really good #and i still do #but more than that this show is intensely comforting in a way i can't really place/describe #it's a magical girl show. it's a workplace comedy. 99% of the cast is 25 years or older. its a coming of age story. #it's has pastel and lo-fi art direction. it's cosmic horror. the main character is so caring and yet so selfish and also autistic #and a robot #all of her romantic relationships are intensely weird and frankly are her least interesting dynamics #her most interesting dynamics are with her roomate/pet who's actually a space pirate cursed to look like a marketable plushy #and with her 8 year old landlord who's mom was childhood best friends with her dad making them family in a sense #except they're not really. also they're foils (she's an immature adult he's a kid who tries to be more responsible than he is) #it's filled with intense melancholy and multiple characters suffer from un-talked about depression #it is one of the cutest and brightest shows i have ever seen (in a non-obnoxious or technicolor way) and has an intense air of whimsy #it kinda has a fandom but not a big one despite having an undeniable impact in online animation culture and a bit on online culture overall #I'm not captivated by it in a fandom-y sense but i am obsessed with it. it's like wuthering heights to me #i love this show

ok last post bitching for a while, i swear, but i feel the need to clarify that i'm not annoyed about the sinestro vs batman thing because i think it'll result in any sort of major shift where sinestro becomes a recurring batvillain instead of a green lantern villain (though, honestly, at this point, i can’t say i’d be that surprised)

it's just an incredibly irritating continuation of this trend where literally EVERYTHING in the dcu has to be made to relate to the bats in one way or another no matter how nonsensical and pointless it is or if it makes everything about the story and characters worse

it’s bad enough when it’s heroes that have next to nothing to do with bats being dumbed down and shoved into batbooks for no other reason than to be a sidekick and prop them up (connor hawke, roy harper, artemis, etc), but making these incredibly powerful villains related to the bats not only does a disservice to them but it also makes the BATS worse

shit like metal, with its all-powerful villain being an incredibly annoying au batman who’s all-powerful pretty much just because batman is that Powerful and Important on a multiversal level, and bats going up against sinestro, who the entire green lantern corps has gone up against and been unable to stop, imo just fundamentally misunderstands the whole point and appeal of the bats

bruce & co are some of the ONLY ones who AREN'T super powerful, god-touched chosen ones. they're just people! batman is literally just some guy trying to do what he can in a world where everything is absolutely insane. the bats are at their best when they're grounded, street level heroes in a world where everybody else is fighting gods and aliens. they’re not all-powerful. they’re not powerful at all. that’s what sets them apart. that’s the POINT.

this shit is not only stupid from the perspective of fans of the galactic-level threat type villains being nerfed to the point where it’s plausible that a bat could get within 50 feet of them without being immediately thumped, but it actively makes the bats themselves less interesting

#long post #when i made my title 'comic book hateblog' i thought i was joking but turns out it was a prophecy. help #again this is all JUST MY OPINION #but all the 'batgod' bullshit has completely ruined batman comics as a whole #if you read older batstuff he loses!! he loses all the damn time!! but he gets back up and keeps trying #THAT'S what makes batman a good character #he is in way over his head and he knows it but he keeps trying #that is nowhere to be found in modern batstuff #he never struggles with anything. he's always got everything completely under control and knows whats going on #even when it's literally impossible and makes no sense for him to know shit even if you suspend disbelief to the max #he's bigbrained to the point of being omnipresent and nothing ever threatens him #again. no stakes! no tension! what's the point! why am i here! you know a bat's gonna win the second they show up on the page #there's no point in even reading it all just falls so flat #bleh !!!!!!!!! #and again! the fact that they're doing this with a new character #HOW is this going to help establish jace in ANY WAY #he's not even in gotham. has almost no interactions with the other bats. #and now his villains arent even batvillains #what is!! the point!!!
