getting queerbaited by tom king is like losing chess to a dog who can't stop talking about his CIA job destabilizing & decimating southwest asia but if You bring it up he gets really mad and writes an issue where wonder woman comforts a soldier who dropkicked an iraqi schoolchild
semi-regular reminder that 616 joaquín torres is an undocumented immigrant and the MCU turned him into a fucking air force soldier, which is not unrelated to the fact that they refuse to remove the zionist propaganda mascot from from this movie
US Senate is conducting an outreach survey about pressing issues including a ceasefire, funding for Isnotreal, and the TikTok ban. Please fill it out and share ⬇️⬇️⬇️
the man who joined the cia and helped plan the iraq invasion after 9/11 is now writing a comic with 9/11 as the inciting incident oh we are about to witness levels of projection and cope never before seen
in another life jason todd is one of those stem students on ao3 banging out 200k word literary masterpieces with zero intention of pursuing any sort of authorial career
if jason todd ever was to enter college, he shouldnt be an english major, he should go to med school. and IF he did get a major on a language it should be spanish, chinese or arabic
POV you are abt to witness the most horrendous mischaracterization to the point where you wonder if you’ve even been reading the same comics as the author (you have not. they do not read comics. their source material is gratuitous whump on ao3 and 10 second tiktok skits)
honestly wasian jason todd is almost more of an interpretation than a headcanon when bruce legitimately considered lady shiva as a possibility for his birth mother
like idk how else to say this but dc using wayne family adventures as the "beginner friendly entryway" to comics is like raising a baby entirely on applesauce and chicken broth and then one day handing them a raw potato just assuming they know how to chew
tom king helped plan the 2003 invasion of iraq and was an active participant in the occupation for years. he called it "the greatest honor of [his] life" & said that he "very much enjoyed the job."
that man could be the next shakespeare and i'd still fucking hate his guts
things my brother asked me while reading nightwing (1996):
- why is dick a cop
- how much longer is he going to be a cop
- when do dickbabs break up
- why is he still a cop
- how many more issues until he quits the force
- is chuck dixon the one that made him join the police
“go to hell” is basic. boring. uninspired. “i hope former U.S. president ronald reagan ends up in your top 20 characters on locg” is smart. it’s terrifying. it’s possible. it happened to me.
"damian is evil damian is mean damian is-" DAMIAN IS A LITTLE BOY WHO LIKES TO DRAW AND HANG OUT WITH HIS FRIENDS. HE LIKES ANIMALS AND WANTS TO MAKE HIS MOM AND DAD PROUD. KEEP HIS NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH..

i feel like i see "coquette" increasingly used as like. white woman proto-fascist cottagecore, which is heavily tied to white supremacy's preferred body type? is my best guess
pre-modern joker is good bc his violence is ultimately in service of comedy. modern joker sucks so bad bc the killing joke reversed it & he never recovered. cruelty is the goal, humor reduced to an aesthetic. they hollowed out the clown and gave his face to a mass shooter
i can't support the "chaotic batkids SHOCK the justice league" fics. the premise is flawed. nothing the batkids do could ever unnerve j'onn, not after years of putting up with booster and beetle, who are objectively more insufferable by every reasonable standard, said with love
"dc can't put babs back in the wheelchair it would be cruel to take away her legs at this point" well she's currently being deprived of the opportunity to pop a sick wheelie whenever her heart desires which i would argue is worse
it's so easy being a batman multishipper bc most of his romances are tragic and doomed and infinitely more interesting in the past tense. he is the most divorceable man alive
@TSnorkal
he was literally like 50% of the CIA's iraq invasion strategy night shift but most of the discourse i see on him is whether or not he's a good writer like how is that even a consideration at this point. why do we care
canon jack & janet: i love you but i don’t know how to communicate that in a way u can understand
fanon jack & janet: the six year old with the physique of a victorian chimneysweep didn’t want to carry a suitcase full of rocks. time to lock him in a closet with ten thousand rats
you are automatically disqualified from having an opinion on this if you mix up romani with the people who held them in brutal chattel slavery for 500+ years
tim beefing with jason is infinitely more hilarious than them having any sort of positive rapport could ever be. "whatever, see you around" "maybe i'll let lady shiva kill me so it doesn't have to come to that" likee
i will never forget how last time someone said i was fanon tim coded i went "well jason's my favorite i can't be tim" without thinking and they hit me with "so like how fanon tim's favorite is jason" . instant killshot
"this isn't punishment, jason. i love you. this is a gift. this is me saving you from yourself."
"and who's... who's going to save you from yourself...?"
do you think after jason died bruce would lie awake agonizing about how his son would never have the years to go gray and after jason comes home, tearing through gotham like a bonesaw, lazarus streak in his hair, bruce thinks “not like this. that's not what i meant”
