i will carry myself out.

i dont claim to be an expert on love but i think theres something to like… ok so my girlfriend got undertale on the switch a while back, right? and she’s definitely not a bad videogamer but it takes practice yknow, esp when youre doing a neutral route and actually fight stuff. so when she got to the hardest bosses i took the controller and beat them for her. not because she couldn’t, but because i love her. and that’s what my brother did when i was a kid playing sonic adventure 2 or whatever, not because i was dumb but because he was good at it and he loved me. and when i want my girlfriend to read something (a post, an essay, a novel) but she’s too tired to actually read so it i read it to her and i do silly voices and she laughs and we have more fun that way. when you hand a water bottle to your friend and they open it without you even having to ask. when you spent a million years fixing the flat tire on your bike and then your dad just takes the tools and does it for you. its not a judgement, it’s just a service. you could do it yourself, but why should you have to when you are loved?

as someone that loves disabled babs/oracle i’m thrilled that she’s shown as being visibly disabled again, but it’s also feels like a gut punch. dc is willing to bring disabled babs back into canon in cartoons, solo graphic novels, live action television, and out of continuity stories but never brings her back to this status in the mainstream timeline/ongoing series. the fact that they won’t return this part of babs’ history and her status as a disabled superhero to canon stories says volumes about the ableism in batman editorial.

horror but make it healing
