I Could Talk At Length About How Bruce Kneels At The Shadow Of John Grayson And Remains Terrified Of

Hello tumblr, how do we feel about the inter dimensional space that is airports?

Listening to one of your girls by Troye Sivan, this shit is great

im laughing so hard because no matter what song you listen to 

spiderman dances to the beat

no matter what song ive been testing it and lauing my ass off for an hour

Could u please explain what's happening in France rn I'm nosy but I don't speak french at all

it's a shit show.

basically, i don't know if you're from europe or not, but we had the european election. in france for those elections not many people go to vote because they think that it's useless. that europe is too far from the day to day life, that it doesn't affect us. so the abstention rate is pretty high (around 60%). yet this year the ones that got the most votes are the RN (rassemblement national) the far right party. they are racist peaces of shit created after the second world war by former SS and collaborators. they want foreign people out of the country (even the ones with two nationalities), they are sexists and homophobic. yet in the last few years they've been on the rise. they managed to appear less extreme and more palatable to the mass. you have to remember that a lot of people are fed up and feel abandoned and are poor and somewhat they've been made to believe that it's foreign's people fault (thank you cnews, sort of french fox news that spews hatred and fake news and became the first news channel in term of audience). also they put a young man at the forefront to appeal to young people and it works. because a few years ago saying that you voted RN was taboo. you were shunned and mocked and treated as a racist. but now people are starting to be proud of that and that's what scary.

so after the RN got the best score at the election our president macron (worst president fucking ever) decided to announce the dissolution of parliament. which means that at the end of the month we'll have another election (which is so shot to even campaign for it). and of course after the european election the RN is a favorite. but if they do get the majority for this election they'll be able elect one of their own as the prime minister who in turn will elect all the other ministers. so i'm fucking scared shitless of that. it would mean that we'll become a far right country. i think macron thinks that he can show us how useless they are at governing a country (but that's also exactly how hitler got in power you know so). absolutely insane to gamble with our lives. anyway the left as decided to unite against them (praise them for once they did it quickly) so i think they are gonna be the main opponent of the far right. the problem is that a lot of people (and in the media and the bourgeoisie) prefer literal fascists to socialism. so now they're doing everything in their power to discredit the new leftist alliance. also the normal right are scrambling because their leader formed an alliance with the far right and many don't want that so they fired him and then he decided to barricade himself in their headquarters and it's been the funniest thing ever.

so we're trying to convince people to go fucking vote and to vote for the left alliance (le nouveau front populaire) by doing thirsty tiktok edits of the leftist deputies and it's fucking working apparently like are we living in a simulation???

sorry for the long rant but our country is on the verge of collapsing and it's pretty fucking insane that they're doing all that just before the olympics. like if the far right takes the government the people will riot (me included) and it's gonna get bad. so yeah there's that.

If you're not making your Christian parents vaguely uncomfortable with your characterization of god in your poetry, are you even doing it right??

Jason is trying his best to make him look vicious ; )'

at the very least, you should be required to at least read “robin: son of batman” before writing damian wayne.

so I've been rewatching Static Shock because of @bearsspace 's Duke and Virgil art, and I'm not even a season in and its already so clear how good they'd get along.

Like Virgil's story focuses on not only actual racism and systemic issues, but the allegory of race within the bang babies/metahumans. Duke's story also does this with We Are Robin and Robin War; the robins are a group of mostly disenfranchised kids who rise up to protect themselves and their communities while being targeted by cops. WAR also makes direct comparisons to racism/systemic issues.

Besides their stories having some similar themes, they're also similar in the way they interact with their communities directly. (Let me mention here that Duke's mom and Virgil's dad are both social workers). Both Duke and Virgil are able to talk and connect with the people they're saving, and this includes the "villains" they encounter who really just need help (ohoho! another part of their stories connected to systemic issues).

Of course a lot of heroes do this but it's special for Virgil and Duke. Virgil's able to connect and help his foes not only because he's a bang baby, but because the standing he already has in his community. Like he spends a lot of time at the community centre and it means a lot to him. One of the things I really love about Virgil is that if he wants to get info on someone he starts knocking on doors and talking to people. It's special for Duke because not only does a big part of his story centre around bringing a community together to protect itself, but in contrast to the rest of the bats, his whole thing is LITERALLY being in the daylight. Like the whole premise of his character is being a beacon, Duke will always have a connection with the public the rest of the bats can't.

I also think it's really funny how both of them almost immediately become superheroes the first chance they got. Like Virgil's bestfriend is like, "You could be a superhero!" and he agrees instantaneously and does it. Duke's kinda just like, "Ugh, I GUESS I'll join this group of vigilantes if you REALLY want me to!" and "What? You want ME to lead this vigilante group? Aw shucks well SOMEONES gotta do it!" and "Not like being a vigilante is important to me or anything but I will literally let nothing including Batman's trained sidekicks stop me." then he jumps out of a moving cop car off a bridge.

one thing about me is i AM going to get angry and annoyed the SECOND i see anyone claim tim drake is an underrated character/robin/batfam member

that boy is one of the MOST loved character i have ever come across, he was hugely successful after jason and the first robin to get his own solo run

that is not an underrated character

now my son duke on the other hand

me rn ^-^
