(visibly shaking, clenching my fists as i speak) i enjoy characters who are lying to their friends about everything

dc comics have so many avenues to discuss child abuse and the uncomfortable realities of it but everytime anyone is so much as implied to have been hit or humiliated or harmed by the adults in their life we have to roll it back and give them a harmless childhood for some inane reason. don't worry about it dear reader <33 child abuse can happen to everyone BUT the heroes <333

the sluttiest thing a man could do is be covered in blood and grip his wounded side in agony

I am so fucking sick of DC fanon making women exclusively mature and Wise and So Much Smarter Than The Dumb Boys god fucking FORBID a woman show a sliver of personality that isn't being Better than the Men. God forbid Diana fucks up and isn't the Wise Woman of the JL or Jessica is irrational or Stephanie is immature or Carol is mean or Selina is impulsive or Cassie childish or Artemis is rude you people beg for more stories about women but clutch your pearls when it's not about them being Girlbosses and God Look at How Dumb The Boys Are Aren’t Women So Much Better For Not Doing That.

"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.
