exactly, like this is exactly the ‘don’t yuck my yum’ shit we learned in kindergarten
you don't need to minimize other people's favorite because you have a favorite: it's okay to love damian, you don't need to shit on tim's character/erase his trauma. you can love tim and not shit on jason's run as robin. you can have cass or duke as a favorite and not diminish the other kids relationship with bruce and each other. and on, and on, and on.
oh the blessing and the curse of having a good film adaptation of a fandom you love
Somewhere across the country, Dick Grayson just burst into tears of pride and doesn’t know why
the dialogue around babs and her disability is so cooked because if there was some understanding that disabled people with a mobility aid — whether it be a chair, a frame, a walking stick, a scooter, prosthesis, whatever — aren’t “trapped” by the devices designed to help them navigate the world we wouldn’t be stuck having the same reductive conversations. kim yale and john ostrander reintroduced babs as a disabled woman who took pride in her intelligence and abilities and saw her wheelchair as a means of reclaiming her independence and autonomy. she removes the handles on the chair because no one, whether it be her father or batman or darkseid, gets to push her around. taking that from her is an act of violence, whether ur tom taylor who can’t envision a world where disabled people are respected and capable unless they are magically cured, or a random online who thinks stealing the wheels off someone’s wheelchair is funny
When referring to Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian:
Batboys doesn’t work cause that includes Duke
Robins doesn’t work cause that includes Steph
So I propose a new and improved name:
It’s straightforward, it’s classy, it rolls off the tongue, it’s in character for all of them
Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
a chill goes down my spine each time these posts begin appearing on my feed
nothing like ao3 being down to remind you what little joy the rest of life brings you
~at a very fancy restaurant~
Bart: Woah there’s a lot of French on this menu, oh! Speaking of French guess what I learned on Duolingo today
Cassie: What’d you learn?
Bart: When they say ‘cat’ in French they pronounce it ‘shat’! You know like sat but with an ‘sh’
Tim: Bart please stop talking
Bart: No it’s true! They say ‘shat’! S-H-A-T. Like if Kon was a French cat I’d say “Look there’s the shat right there!”- why are you laughing
Kon: Bart, um do you know what shat means in English? Come here (whispers for a moment in his ear)
Bart: IT MEANS SHIT?? WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME!
Bart: oh sorry
Cassie: just kill me now
@vinelark you know what’s up. the art style is half the reason why I constantly reread cass’s batgirl run
Band AU but Fleetwood Mac style where the entire band consists of the bitchest and pettiest exes possible and then there’s that one character in the corner who just wants to make cool music with his friends
despite the cass cain heavy apperence this is both a dc and a marvel blogcass cain just happens to be the coolest person ever(and the charcter that got me into comics)always happy to talk about all things comic related!!!(though I admittedly know more about DC)
