I’m starting to see now. I have had an effect here… but not the one I intended. Vengeance won’t change the past, mine or anyone else’s. I have to become more. People need hope.

For so many superheroes, it’s about them doing the altruistic thing, right? They’re trying to do something to help other people. But really, Batman, he’s addicted, at least in this story, to being Batman. It’s about making sense of the world, of his life, of what happened to him when he was a kid. In a certain way, he’s stuck at being 10. He’s never getting over this experience. And so to go out night after night, looking for a fight, looking for crime, is a very particular choice. —Matt Reeves

“Vengeance won’t change the past. mine or anyone’s else’s. I have to become more. People need hope. To know someone’s out there for them. The city’s angry, scarred, like me. Our scars can destroy us. Even after the physical wounds have healed. But if we survive them. They can transform us. They can give us the power. To endure. The strength to fight.

Welcome to the 6th edition of our Pride Month Challenge!

Our goal is to celebrate LGBTQ characters and content in media by posting creations about them every day in June!

This year, we intend to expand the event, so you can participate with content from any media (tv, film, music, comics, books, games etc.)! Everyone is welcome to participate, followers of our blog or not.

✦ What can you make: Fanart, edits, graphics, gifs etc. It’s a visual challenge!

✦ Use the caption: Pride Month Challenge 2022 (+ whatever description you want).

✦ Post your creation using the tag #pmc2022 (within the first 20 tags). Posts featuring comic characters will be reblogged here and other posts will be reblogged in other sourceblogs, depending on the content! 

✦ If you’re a part of a sourceblog and would be willing to track the tag during June, please let us know and we’ll update this post to mention your blog!  Partners: @latineheroes - 

✦ Track the #pmc2022 tag, so you can see all posts and support creations you like by reblogging them! 

The challenge is divided into two parts, a basic (15 days) and a complete (30 days) challenge. Feel free to participate in as much or as little days as you want, in any order you want! Prompts under the cut:

Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn’t quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out.
