Unecessary Straps and Pouches and Belts and Clasps

so what was going on in the 1940s-50s that made DC feel the need to have every sidekick shower or bed with or otherwise undress with their mentor. Was that less stigmatized in the 40s or is it just not pedophilia when it’s dashing crimefighters

Putting aside the possibility of it being shifted cultural norms because I. Don’t think it is but I’m not entirely sure, it is a really nice touch honestly if you read into it Watsonianly. Like oh yeah they all do this ♥️ it’s normal and expected for capes to have levels intimacy with their sidekicks that would not be permissible in any other context. No it’s totally fine that so many sidekicks are freakishly devoted to their mentors, that’s the sidekick’s job. It’s their archetype. Of course they are. The violence is normal because these aren’t kids. They’re sidekicks. They’re kid-shaped so they don’t need any autonomy or independence but they’re unchildren so you can hit them and abandon them and undress with them. It’s fine.

Can’t sleep so I’m looking up long term effects of emotional incest and nodding while thinking about dick grayson

You don't understand it's totally your responsibility as a trans women to deconstruct gender roles. And you do this by not transitioning. Women can have body hair so you shouldn't get electrolysis. Women can have flat chests so you shouldn't start hrt. Women can have deep voices so you shouldn't voice train. It's incredibly important for me as a woman that you don't transition so you can challenge gender norms! Trans women shouldn't transition trans shouldn't transition trans women shouldn't transition!!! It's for feminism and not because I hate trannies

Big Comics is lying to you about mentor protege sex not being real. Never trust Big Comics

Somehow Batman and Robin Year One trying to make Bruce a responsible parent has made me want to kill him with my bare hands more than any of the actual bad things he’s done

it’s just that when Bruce was doing stuff like locking his child in cages it was like ah this is so cartoonishly terrible that I can step back and understand his rationale and that this stems from his fear of abandonment and need for control. And now that he’s acting like a normal parent of which I have encountered many I’m like oh okay. You need to have your fucking head bashed in

eating disorders and abortions are two things that are like, spoken about in most mainstream discourse as though they are pretty rare and aberrant, but then when you’re actually friends with a lot of women you come to find out that they are extremely extremely common and kind of banal & mundane

hallucinations genuinely are just things that happen sometimes. my first and second night of band camp I couldn’t sleep because there were drums fucking POUNDING in my ears (there were not drums anywhere). and it was literally not a big deal

i cant believe that there's still gamergate STANK on games that women enjoy. NASTY misogyny residue. stardew valley is in fact a video game. animal crossing is also a video game. so are otome games and dating sims and twee little cozy games. sometimes a bitch doesnt wanna play bloodborne that shit's hard

guys who mainly play 2k and fortnite will still be like oh youre not a real gamer for having 1000 hours in stardew. mother fucker you're larping as a basketball player

Justice league meeting where all the sidekicks are on their knees under the table sucking off their mentors until said heroes get defensive and want to prove their sidekick is the best with their mouth so they switch partners.
