Lord of the Rings fanart! I watched for the first time recently and loved it

[EDIT: Thanks for the love on this! Prints of this are also available on my shop for those interested!]

“But Emma is Emma, so if there’s a chance, I think that ‘amazing Emma’ will come out again." 

 - Shirai, from the exhibition interview (translated by 1000sunnygo)

"Listen," one guard said, "I know we have only just met-"

"No," the other guard said, "we've worked together for years!"

"-but you can trust me when I say-"

"I can't, you have the curse that's opposite from mine!"

"I don't care for you at all."

"Well, I… oh… I love you too."

one of the important cornerstones of fandom is understanding that your headcanon is not everyone else's headcanon, and i'm not sure when people stopped understanding this

I like stories where a normal human child is being raised by a sinister supernatural being who is totally malevolent except when it comes to their kid. Those are so much better than the “kids are scary” changeling type horror movies.

'art idea that's above your skill set' and 'writing idea that's above your skill set' are tortures I wish upon absolutely no one man

Traverse the nightmares with me :)

Spend a lot of time working on the nightmare layers piece, please take a look and share it with your fellow lost hunters!

it should be illegal for reddit anime dudes to have Killua profile pictures because it contributes to the misconception that Killua is your average reddit dude anime boy like no no you dont understand. He's a gay twelve year old with infinite money and dresses exactly how you would expect a gay twelve year old with infinite money to dress. He has one of the best character arcs of all time in which at one point he does impromptu brain surgery on himself as an allegory for overcoming trauma. He has a trans little sister and aggressively corrects anyone who misgenders her. He fights with yo yos and a skateboard. He almost got killed by playing darts with an ant once. He spent a million dollars on robot shaped chocolate. He looks like tjis

You can pry the belief of mine that Norman is a Ratri off my cold, dead hands

i know the manga ended but I’ve been with this hope for long enough

let's live together 🧡🖤🤍

based on chapter 109! wooo

Just some Emma’s y’know…

I love Isabella so much for this.

She knew she couldn’t save every child in the farms until her rascals came back to free them. But she made sure to save as much as possible. Not only dropped the number of shipments (from around 36 in two years to god knows what), but the children also got to live longer, since their scores got up, too. It’s such a big brain energy to undermine the higherups guidelines and helping her children in her own way, while acting inconspicuous and gaining a better status as Grandma.

Conclusion: Isabella really is an Iron Lady. After all, she’s hardcore.

boredom grows... whatever this is 🍵

I LOVE IT WHEN ENDINGS CIRCLE BACK TO THE BEGINNING!!!

I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS MIRROR EACH OTHER!!!!!

I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS SEAL THEIR FATES IN THEIR FIRST SCENES!!!!

I LOVE IT WHEN CHARACTERS' GREATEST TRAITS ARE ALSO WHAT DOOM THEM IN THE END!!!!!

like okay im just going to be real right now. do some of you not understand that children grow into adults? like seriously. because the way some of yall talk about them makes me feel like you think of children as an entirely different species and not people who in 10 years will be expected to function and understand society. were you cloned? do you come from a tube? did you jump out of the artificial womb as a fully formed 25 year old

Norman be like

I love you so

Still thinking about how Morally complex Babs truly is. I mean, let's think about what she's done that other heroes (that she is commonly associated with; Core Birds and Bats) don't.

1. She attempted to snipe Black Mask. This is the crux of my reeling but it's still worth mentioning. Yes, Helena has shot at people and so does Red Hood, but I don't think they ever did so from a distance like Babs was going to.

2. She embezzles money from criminals to fund her operations. It's canon that she has stolen money from various crime lords including Blockbuster digitally. I would not be surprised if she also pinched some profits from various corporations as well. This funding is so extreme that it causes the Hunt For Oracle arc itself.

3. She was thrown in prison and shot a government agent. Thanks to someone recently posting them (I found them via a mutual follower reblogging them), she was thrown in prison after she took the bait and downloaded a file meant to catch hackers, and thrown in prison. She gets broken out and is only in 2 of 12 issues for The Hacker Files, but this is still huge.

And finally, 4. Barbara has actively worked with villains and morally grey assassins more than once. Lady Shiva, Savant, Poison Ivy and more have all worked with Barbara, and she has helped give Savant and Creote a second chance. Few of the Bats have done anything similar.

Tl;DR, Barbara is a Morally complex and fascinating character, and the fact that she basically had her soul torn out is horrific of modern DC. This is the Barbara we love and hold dear.

I spend a normal amount of time thinking about the scene at the altar of despair

op on the version of this I saw has turned off reblogs while posting lots of frustrated messages about how they don't care about people's actual responses. I'm adding some things they didn't think of.

I care about y'all's actual responses.

I wanna hear all about your writing in the tags. do tell.

Breaking news, you have to be bad at something before you can be good at it. I personally am horrified.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

Oracle isn't just a name. It's an identity that is inextricably intertwined with Barbara Gordon reclaiming herself and her sense of agency over her body and life after becoming disabled.

The last 13 years of dedicated activism have gotten us back to a point where Oracle is acknowledged and Babs is portrayed as a competent adult woman, and I'm grateful she finally has her team back. But DC still refuses to acknowledge and uplift her as disabled, undermining the core thesis of Barbara's character in the modern era. And as long as she's not visibly disabled…she's still not Oracle.

Oracle was created because two people (Kim Yale and John Ostrander) saw a horribly misogynistic story and went "no. We can do better. We SHOULD do better." Oracle was a rebirth, a revitalization, a refusal to allow women to be relegated to the sidelines and margins of superhero comics regardless of physical ability.

To refuse to portray her as visibly disabled undermines everything that Babs as Oracle stood for, both in-universe and in real life. It betrays the identity's foundations as a reclamation of agency and heroism. It betrays her creators' intent as an avenue for disability representation and a revitalization of a character summarily discarded because the company saw no further use for her. It betrays the millions of readers who read her stories for nearly 25 years and enjoyed stories brimming with strength, independence, and heroism that depicted a disabled character at their center.

It's doubly frustrating because it's clear that DC is slowly moving Cass back into the "primary Batgirl" role, allowing us to have a semblance of Oracle back, but they seem to think of Oracle as an interchangable identity with Batgirl that Babs would have had even if TKJ had never happened. And outside of Batgirls (which ended last year), they won't even meet people halfway and make Barbara an ambulatory wheelchair user who uses forearm crutches and/or a cane when she's mobile.

Again: I'm grateful that Oracle is being acknowledged again. I'm grateful Babs is back to being a competent adult and team leader who has friends outside of Gotham. But I continue to be frustrated at the company-wide sexism keeping her from fully moving on from Batgirl and the ableism prohibiting her from being shown as visibly disabled.
