i have no idea how this site works, but i’m trying

i like when both people in a relationship are scared of it

Finding out this was in Tucson by going to the rink on a whim felt like seeing a celebrity.

charismatic but in the sense that being an absolute freak does interest & compel people

WHAT?!

I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3

I use this and it’s fucken great. No bullshit. Really works. Sometimes the world is kind.

i actually do think that framing authors like grant morrison and devin grayson as uniquely racist in comparison to other white comic book writers is harmful, not because a lot of yall take it as an excuse to be disturbingly misogynistic and transphobic but also that too, but because this perception of them as uniquely despicable people acts like a shut down button for any kind of constructive conversation to acknowledge nuance in their writings or the harmful narratives other writers have and continue to construct. like using "devin grayson fetishizes romani people" as an ultimate "gotcha" in a conversation about the racism in her nightwing run you're still not addressing things such as what fetishization actually looks like, how to prevent it in the future, and how to better *yourselves* in regards to fetishizing brown people of asian ancestry because yall white liberal fans are also the ones turning around and calling damian a feral demon murder baby and feeding into every dragon lady stereotype about talia directly after yelling and moaning about how devin grayson is an evil irredeemable bitch. white liberal fans can point out that grant morrison's depictions of talia and the other al ghuls are rooted in orientalist stereotypes about east asian and swana people, but dont seem to carry the same energy for writers like greg rucka who wrote death and the maidens *pre morrison* or peter j tomasi who wrote batman and robin 2011 and super sons and other writers who are basing their depictions of the al ghuls directly from morrison's work on batman and batman and robin 2009, because you can use "rapist talia" as a shut down button when any other arguments about YOUR 🫵 favorite writers using the same racist stereotypes or morrison's (mostly failed, albeit) and grayson's (questionable) attempts at making points about systemic injustice come up. you cant shut down conversations surrounding criticisms of their books and then wonder why the same issues persist

To be fair to Wally part of his reasoning is based in the fact that he has war veteran PTSD from the whole Manhunters thing where he killed a bunch of aliens with the ability to shape-shift into loved ones and then learned that his dad was a double agent for them all along.

There is I think a certain unfortunate tendency in Batfandom to view darker takes as inherently more real and true even when they're equally as baseless in comics canon (or sometimes any canon) as any of the fluffier takes.

Is there anything specific you had in mind?

Mostly I was thinking of the Batfandom attachment to the idea of Dick as an "eldest daughter" who had to take care of the younger Bats while he himself was a child, when this has simply never been the case for him at all in the slightest even as an adult with the very very small exception of Damian, and even then he was an adult and very much had the option to just not. Another big example would be the "everyone hates Tim" subsection of fanon. But even outside of those very notable examples I think there's a tendency to take darker interpretations more at face value even when all canon evidence is to the contrary, as if it's inherently more realistic and believable simply because it's dark.

To help put in context just how absurd it is to characterize Dick as an "eldest daughter" forced to take care of a child too young particularly wrt Damian, Wally was married and had two biological children before Dick ever had to care for Damian, and Damian was a ten year old.
