Ex. sunset, ocean, galaxy, etc.
My pfp is my favorite color which I like to call Supernova. If you go to my account, my background thingy is also a space-y thing. That's my second favorite color, Nebula. Yes, I have grown out of saying "Galaxy (blue & purple)" is my favorite color but... space, y'know?
But there's always THOSE kinds of people. People who say shit like “tHaT’S nOt a cOloR” FINE! Non-color! It's my favorite non-color! *Gasp*
So now I go around asking people 3 questions: What's your favorite color? What is objectively the ugliest color? there are 3 correct answers. (Beige, Khaki, and Ecru. Even u weirdos who like beige or Khaki have to admit Ecru is disgusting.) & What is your favorite non-color?
So?
(Do you like my dumb picture? It has nothing to do with this post but it’s here)
It's important for people to realize that the thing that finally broke me -the thing that made me make an actual account here- was a very, VERY, obscure Batman character named Lance Bruner. (Look him up srsly) I learned about him one night and that same night, I needed fanart of him, was givin the "whoops: classified jk get an account" and you know what. I fucking did. It hasn’t even been a week since that night btw. First post the same week I create this account. Woohoo!
Obviously not sponsored since I'm literally nobody here, but it's genuinely so cool that I can post my headcanons, thoughts, and theories without feeling like I'm lost in the shuffle.
I cannot say just how amazing it is that I could be analyzing how the Force works in the shower and realize... I have a place to put that now. It's not just me and whoever is willing to listen to me ramble about my stupid shit. Now other people are reading my stupid shit... and they like it.
Now again, I am small. Just a few days ago I reached 100 likes added together from... 7 posts + a repost. Which is bananas! But not someone whose... y'know, big. But the little that I have is honestly just great.
I mean... I'd seen a lot of Tumblr posts filled with amazing content, but I still didn't get an account. Idk why, just felt like I didn't need it or that I'd never use it. Or maybe it was just stubbornness towards the end. I needed a good reason. Something I could only find here.
That was when I found out about an obscure Batman character named Lance Bruner (I made a post about him, u should read it). I wanted art of him. It only existed here. They cut me off the "Classified: jk make an account :) and I did. And honestly, I'm really glad I did. This is pretty worth it. This is the most I've ever posted on a platform (unless you count the comment section) and honestly, and most importantly, I'm having fun.
I can't unsee it.
They probably don't even realize their gay and when they do, it takes them even longer to realize they're gay for each other.
"We're just besties! R U saying you don't cuddle w/ your bestie? Or do each others make-up, dress up, hold hands, sleep in the same bed, help undress, gossip, do each others hair…"
The Lesbian Vibes TM are immaculate.
I would like more of Them please.
Don’t try and tell me Lavender and Parvati weren’t those 90’s “It Girls”, I will only disagree with you..
For Femslash February
Growing up is realizing that Riley, Maya, and Lucas should have been a throuple.
The most unrealistic thing about those senior mirror of the triangle (Thor, Nikki, and Francesca) is that they didn’t come in and say. “Triangle? Ya, we’ve been there, but then we realized that we (Nikki and Francesca) like each other too. It all just kinda fell into place after that.”
Considering that they both tried to give the other their happiness (“he’s like my brother” both times) and the fact that the triangle has lasted so long, mostly without major jealousy, (they talk in out like a functional poly relationship) they should’ve. And they didn’t. Because it’s Disney.
You do have a point, but I have seen some instances (fanfiction) where it’s done right. Where most of that is true and they still show her vulnerabilities without it being toxic, or putting other characters down. It’s really just about how much nuance is in the writing. How many layers.
And you’re right, not everyone would have Oracle feeding them info, but I think the BatFam would, depending on how close they are. I also just love crack fics where the Justice League thinks that Oracle is a computer program that Batman has made for the Watchtower in meet the Bat Family fanfics.
But you’re right. There’s no way that she does everything for everyone. Unless someone contacts her and says, “Pleeeeeeese help meeee” for whatever reason, she would stick to her territory.
Now the idea of her being an untouchable goddess just seems like a fun play at her name. You can have character dynamics with old jokes that say things like, “You dare disrespect the All-Seeing-Oracle?! Our Goddess?! You, young one, are doomed!” and it’s just a freakishly large blackmail folder.
And I do like the idea that she’s very smart. A better hacker than most. Being trained by the Batman only to exceed his teachings. Not that she’s omnipotent, but that she could get into practically everything, except for things like Lex Luthor’s hideouts for example.
But all that aside, that comes with good writing. When she becomes a one-dimensional, untouchable god character only there because of some shoddy representation of people in wheelchairs who can be anything they want to be, it’s an issue. When you have a story centered on her and don’t show her having imperfections, insecurities, or problems with certain aspects of life, she’s no longer a character. I do like Babs and I do think she can be used correctly. But when she’s just a means to an end, she’s no longer a respected part of the cast. And that’s not ok. You can show a strong character without putting the other characters down, and she can be strong in spite of her struggles.
TLDR: Babs can be written good cause she’s cool, but making her one-dimensional and/or hateable isn’t right and just kinda annoying.
Oracle is a great character. Don't get me wrong.
My issue has nothing to do with her disability but more on how her writers and fans brag about her job and position in the DCU in an arrogant way.
I've met a lot of toxic barbara gordon fans who think she's an untouchable goddess who everyone has to worship and who thinks she runs the entire universe.
Again Oracle is a great character but I don't like it when her writers and fans ignore, sideline, and dumb down other dc characters to prop her up.
I think she's a bit overhyped and her role is over-exagerrated.
let me explain.
Her fans think she's the brain of the DCU.
I disagree with this.
Barbara is smart but I refuse to believe she's DC's no. 1 most smartest character when the Brainiac Family, Lex Luthor, Detective Chimp and Mr Terrific are right there.
Her fans think she's the one and only tech support and central hub of information for the entire dc superhero community.
Who gave Barbara this title?
In what world where 10 billion+ people exist, is it possible to only have 1 person capable of using technology and providing information to people.
I don't think Barbara is that special.
There are plenty of DC Characters who know how to use a computer.
Who know how to research.
Who know how to hack.
Who know how to communicate with other heroes.
Who know how to use technologies
The Brainiac Family, Lex Luthor, Cyborg, Mr. Terrific, Danny Chase, Bruce Wayne, Tim Drake, Luke Fox, Blue Bettle, Green Arrow, Atom etc.
and Governments exist in dc too!!! There's literally Amanda Waller!
Batman has the Bat-computer in his Batcave
The Titans have a huge computer at Titans Tower.
The Justice League has the watchtower which has even installed highly advanced off world technologies.
You expect me to believe these characters don't use their own computers and resources and just wait on Barbara to hand feed them information???
Why are her writers and fans ignoring all these other intelligent tech users and information brokers in DC?
Why are they making Barbara the center of their universe.
Reastically, A lot of characters don't really need Barbara to do things for them.
They can do what she does.
A lot of DC teams have fully functioned and stood on their own without her help.
Her fans always say she's a huge part of the Justice League and Suicide Squad.
Yes she is a member but she's not an integral part of those teams and I'm sorry but she's not easily remembered as a member of those teams. She's forgettable.
Nobody knows who Oracle is outside of comics.
Oracle doesn't even exists in multiple Justice League and Suicide Squad cartoon shows and movies.
Again Barbara is a great character but her role and importance is over-exagerrated.
And I don't know if this is the right word but she looks like a cloutchaser to me since she's often shoehorned into other character's histories and into other teams she has nothing to do with to maintain her relevance. Worse she dumbs down characters along the way to justify her presence.
just like What Tom Taylor did in the Titans book when he shoehorned her into their team despite the fact that she's not a Titan and she's not needed. They literally already have Cyborg for tech support 🙁 what's worse is that Cyborg got sidelined to make her look more useful to the team.
Again I don't hate Barbara.
I just don't like the constant bias towards her.
I do think Barbara is Gotham's information hub, but I don't think she's the queen of the entire dc universe.
Overall i think she's better on her own with her own original supporting cast because Every other hero she touches gets dumbed down to prop her up including Dick.
Dick is an intelligent detective and he's also a good hacker. He's even hacked an alien computer before but the second he gets paired with Barbara, he stays away from technologies and gets dumber so he can be the himbo muscle and she can be the Brains behind their operation 🙁
Picture this:
Dogma, having Slick as his prison-mate, and finding out what exactly happened to Tup and subsequently, Fives.
The rule follower, who killed a Jedi traitor, and instead of being reconditioned or decommissioned, gets locked in a cell.
Having regular conversations with Boba Fett (who tried to kill a Jedi) and Slick (THE traitor clone) while constantly coming into contact with the Coruscant Guard (Who have all kinds of bad going on).
Then Order 66.
I see Dogma’s name becoming even more ironic than it already is. Anarchist!Dogma burning down Empirical bases.
Walking through doors that say “Do Not Enter”, waving for others to follow him.
He becomes a legend in The Rebellion. Very few know that he’s a clone.
He’s known for never respecting authority… which makes it all the more shocking to others when he respects and follows Captain Rex without complaint.
Maintains a good relationship with both Slick and Boba.
Totally where’s a black leather jacket.
The loss of his twin (Tup) weighs heavily on him in quiet moments of seriousness.
Takes to starting riots against the Empire.
Great at riling up support for the rebellion.
He's with the rebellion right now, but once talk of a new republic seems feasible, he leaves. People say it's because an agent of chaos cannot flourish in peace. In reality, he remembers the republic he lived in. He has trauma.
Anakin: Fuck. Padme. I think I’m in love with Rex.
Padme: Rex is quite a handsome man, and he looks so cute when he tries to lie and he takes such good care of his brothers and-
Rex: Fuck. I’m in love with my married general. Padme’s very strong and pretty too tho-
They’re already breaking a bunch of rules when it’s just the two of them. What’s a few more?
Instead of being executed, he was/found a way to get locked up in Coruscant prison.
When Boba Fett is arrested, Slick is the one to save him from getting executed/sent back to the Kaminoans. Somehow.
Slick is also the one to save Dogma from getting decommissioned or reconditioned, instead gaining a prison mate.
Boba has some sort of familial relationship with them, if only because of proximity.
Slick and the Coruscant Guard have some sort of understanding. (This is a different post about my au that will eventually exist).
Dogma doesn’t really warm up to Slick until he gets news of what happens to Tup and subsequently, Fives.
All three of them survive, and later have varying levels of closeness with Rex and “others”.
There’s more, but that’s a different post. This stuff can pass in canon. The rest are more… au-esque.
I HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!!!!
(I think. I choose to believe that)
When I had first discovered this hidden Batfam character, (before the the batfam was really a concept! (This little blond shit existed before Jason Todd!!)) there were about 8-9 fanfics of him on AO3. All published months or YEARS apart.
I made my first post on Lance in early October of 24 and my second post on Lance (and Duke because Duke) in early January.
We went from 8-9 to 12!!! (It's probably a coincidence) There are somewhat recent ones too! From this month!!!
Lance content hath expanded, if only slightly, and thus, the world hath changed for the better.
Oceanids are the children of Oceanus.
All nereids are nymphs, but not all nymphs are nereids. The difference isn’t just, “water nymph”. Nereids are the children of Oceanids.
(Naiads are basically the same except fresh water. Naiads are the daughters of the Potamoi, who are children of Oceanus :D)
Penelope is a nereid. Amphitrite’s grandfather is Oceanus, so she’s also a nereid. Penelope and Amphitrite are cousins.
Do with that what you will.
Edit: Ask and you shall receive. Screenshots from my reference folder:
Cousins.
