thinking about it, why tf was Zatanna cooking for her father in season 1.
had random thought that i should analyse show for stereotypes it enforces, and the one thst came to mind was the fact that we only really ever see the women of the show cooking, and not the guys.
Like M'gann is the cook of season 1, and then Zatanna joins her, while its always the wives of the speedsters who cook for them despite not needing to eat that much themselves (Bart will break this mold by being gay and we love that for him).
But Zatanna has a line.
"These are all the things I used to cook forā¦"

connor hawke's existence in dc as one of the best martial artists on Earth really just further invalidates all the mfs who are raising their children from birth to be fighters.
Cause like, not only was he not being raised and taught to fight in a fighting/violent environment (he learned in an ashram, where they spent a good deal of their time doing other things like meditating and gardening), but he only went to the ashram when he was 13 (in prime earth it might have been more of his childhood but he wasn't like being intensely trained or anything) and only spent 5 years training, not even as his main time filler, and he still manages to tie Lady Shiva, a much more experienced fighter.
Compare him to Cassandra Cain, whose father only taught her body language and violence and had her murder a man at age 8, and yes, she is the better fighter out of the two of them based on her ability to defeat Lady Shiva in a fair fight (I believe? I haven't read the comic where it happens but I know of it) whereas Connor could only tie her, that is still not that much of a skill gap between them when considering their very different training regimes.
all these shit parents are being like 'i raised u to be a weapon so that none could defeat u, ur childhood and innocence was a necessary sacrifice', meanwhile connor's just over in the corner having only started training as a teenager and still being roughly on par with these child weapons.
his existence proves that these children had their childhoods destroyed and their softness hardened for no good reason, and that they'd still be top level if they started training later.
it's funny, in a very horrific way.

Betrayal
this is the worst day of his life
The hits keep coming
the day is saved
y'all im watching spn for the first time and i just got to lazarus rising... ALMOST EXACTLY 17 YEARS AFTER IT FIRST AIRED AHHH
accidentally predicted the funniest thing ever a few days ago
Sometimes I wonder if the huge scrutiny and often dislike of Ursa (especially in the comics) is not only because she is an 'imperfect' mother, but also because she is shown through lenses other than 'mother'. Ursa's storyline as a victim of Ozai and the Royal Family seems to make people uncomfy. I don't see it discussed nearly enough as much as the same inane, pedantic discussion of "was Ursa a good mom to Azula/her kids".
And yes, Ursa is a victim, this woman was going through severe anxiety through a whole comic cycle and had a borderline panic attack just being in the Palace. Like. read between the lines.
[That last series of panels are genuinely so well done but also heartbreaking. Also I do like the literary device of presenting her cold hands as a 'tell' for her anxiety and fear.]
She clearly wasn't in a position to be able to refuse Ozai's marriage proposal. She's essentially only being placed in this situation as a breeding vessel to make super cool bordeline-eugenics babies. Despite this, Ozai, probably due to his own insecurities, is extremely possesive and controlling of her. There's a level of degradation and violation here that transcends even the bleak reality of most arranged marriages.
Listen y'all I know Ozai is sexy but let's take the 'oh no I belong to the hot prince haha nooš' goggles off, and acknowledge the horror of this situation. A forced marriage is already a form of violence, likely followed by dubiously consensual sex at best, and we know this happened to Ursa at least twice. She's been coerced into a relationship, isolated from her parents, friends and home, and used as an incubator.
This is kinda a crucial aspect of Ursa's character, and you cannot divorce it from her role as a mother. You simply cannot. As much as me may want Ursa to compartmentalise and fulfill her parental duty to the best of her ability, outside pressures be damned, that is a practically impossible ask. Especially since Ozai is right there, and actively sabotaging her attempts at parenting.
Like. I hope we can all agree that telling a child off and putting them in time out for setting their someone's pants on fire is a reasonable. But here, Ozai is actively undermining this parenting decision on Ursa by essentially rewarding Azula for doing this.
Children are more perceptive than we think and Azula is an exceptionally smart child. She has a fecent understanding of the relationships and power dynamics in her family, and she is aware that Ozai holds more power in the relationship than Ursa.
And I don't want to make Azula out to be this evil, manipulative child. That's not the case. Most children act out and do mean things. That's how they test boundaries. But, Azula has been taught that the boundaries Ursa sets don't matter.
Young Zuko: Not funny, Azula! You're sick. And I want my knife back, now. Young Azula : Who's going to make me? Mom?
This is a flaw in the enviornment Ursa is raising her children in, something that she can't very well control. However, both Azula and the fandom place a huge empathis on Ursa's specific failings. From Azula's perspective, this is understandable. She's veen influenced by Ozai for years, and is not in her right mental state. Of course she will blame Ursa, because if she blames Ozai and the enviornment she thrived in as a child, it would make her ask uncomfortable questions about herself, as well.
From the fandom's perspective, this is a little more murky. Now, fandom spaces aren't exactly the hives of feminism I wish they were, and this is very visible in how fictional mothers are treated, which often reflects on how we percieve irl mothers. Mothers are, more than fathers, expected to give up their identities, to throw themselves fully into motherhood. If they excel at it, they may have the 'privilege' of being percieved as pleasant, supportive extensions of their partners and children. If they fuck up, they're malicious. Their identities outside of motherhood mean very little, neither do the circumstances around them.
This is a panel of Azula blaming Ursa for not allowing Ozai to kill Zuko and therefore leaving. While she speaks of Ozai turning her into a firebending weapon, and someone to be protected from, she blames Ursa for not protecting her from him. No blame is placed on the man, the person in power in this situation. Azula has always been aware that Ozai is dangerous, that he is fully capable of killing his children. She seemed convinced that Ozai would kill Zuko at Azulon's behest, she'd witnessed Ozai burn Zuko's face.
Yet, she blames Ursa. More than she ever blamed Ozai. Of course she does, she's been conditioned to just accept Ozai's perpetual danger as normal. Therefore, he is not in the wrong for causing harm to her. It is Ursa who is in the wrong for allowing it to happen, with Azula being unable to notice the impossible choice that had been placed in front of Ursa.
But the fandom isn't as lost in the sauce as Azula is, and we have access to much more information than she does. Yet still, we only analyse Ursa, discussing over and over if she was a good mother to Azula and Zuko, mulling over her morality constantly. Scrutinising her every word to her children without acknowledging the Mark Hamil voiced Elephant in the room.
Ursa is on trial for any minute detail. While we just accept Ozai as he is and expect Ursa to just. Properly parent her kids regardless. Nkt only properly parent, but also somehow completely and utterly shield her children from Ozai, to undo whatever harmful lessons he is inflicting on them, to be an "angel in the home" when the home is literally her hell. And that's how we get genuises like this, who claim that Ozai is the better parent to Azula. Truly the brightest minds of our generation are coming out of the woodworks on fandom discourse.
[The first line is also false, in Smoke and Shadows its stated Ursa and Zuko stayed in Hira'a searching the Forgetful Valley for weeks]
And this fandom's dislike of mothers being more than mothers is a pattern. Suyin Beifong and (to a much lesser extent) Pema from tlok recieved their lashings and have been called bad mothers and villanised for not fitting their motherly roles perfectly, or having other things going on in their lives (this last one is particularly relevant to Su). However, Poppy Beifong who was complicit, if not an active part of Toph's abuse as a child gets of mostly scott free, probably because she sticks very strongly to her motherly archetype.
If we want to go broader than that, recent hate towards Abuela from Encanto, Ming Lee from Turning Red and Celine from K-pop Demon Hunters for being mothers (mother figure in Celine's case) is very telling of this phenomenon. Compare this to fathers in media, who are allowed to have their complexities and have identities outside of their children without being chided and demonised for it. Nay, they are often praised for being nuanced.
I suppose what I'm trying to say here is that we've focused so much on trying to figure out if these women did their best in the situations they were in, if their best was enough, if they are evil for struggling with the odds placed in front of them... that we've completely neglected to take into account the worlds and people around them. I guess it is just simpler to single out a singular problem, a woman whom we can point at and pick apart, rather than try to wrap our heads around the systems and situations surrounding her. Wow, art does imitate life š
Old people love to own two identical ugly as shit dogs
my brotherās grandma has been buying the exact same identical dog for like 60 years and naming each one boochie. I hate its immortal suffering.

Are we just ignoring the person that got hit by an electrical blast
Sheās just doing it for attention
my exās grandmother did that with black standard poodles she named Precious and told no one that they were different dogs until one of her sons came by one day and noticed that Precious had suddenly become a puppy after 30 years
so she didnāt actually replace him with puppies bc that would be too obvious, she got younger dogs who were still old enough to pass as the previous dog and she had a habit of giving the dog makeovers (dying his grey hairs back to black , painting his nails etc bc āitās good for his self esteemā) which made it less obvious when an older greying dog was replaced with a younger model. my uncle figures it out bc he moved back in with her to help take care of her and she couldnāt keep it from him when the dog switch happened
YOU DIDNāT TELL ME ABOUT THE DOG MAKEOVERS FHSHSH

all RIGHT:
Why You're Writing Medieval (and Medieval-Coded) Women Wrong: A RANT
(Or, For the Love of God, People, Stop Pretending Victorian Style Gender Roles Applied to All of History)
This is a problem I see alllll over the place - I'll be reading a medieval-coded book and the women will be told they aren't allowed to fight or learn or work, that they are only supposed to get married, keep house and have babies, &c &c.
If I point this out ppl will be like "yes but there was misogyny back then! women were treated terribly!" and OK. Stop right there.
By & large, what we as a culture think of as misogyny & patriarchy is the expression prevalent in Victorian times - not medieval. (And NO, this is not me blaming Victorians for their theme park version of "medieval history". This is me blaming 21st century people for being ignorant & refusing to do their homework).
Yes, there was misogyny in medieval times, but 1) in many ways it was actually markedly less severe than Victorian misogyny, tyvm - and 2) it was of a quite different type. (Disclaimer: I am speaking specifically of Frankish, Western European medieval women rather than those in other parts of the world. This applies to a lesser extent in Byzantium and I am still learning about women in the medieval Islamic world.)
So, here are the 2 vital things to remember about women when writing medieval or medieval-coded societies
FIRST. Where in Victorian times the primary axes of prejudice were gender and race - so that a male labourer had more rights than a female of the higher classes, and a middle class white man would be treated with more respect than an African or Indian dignitary - In medieval times, the primary axis of prejudice was, overwhelmingly, class. Thus, Frankish crusader knights arguably felt more solidarity with their Muslim opponents of knightly status, than they did their own peasants. Faith and age were also medieval axes of prejudice - children and young people were exploited ruthlessly, sent into war or marriage at 15 (boys) or 12 (girls). Gender was less important.
What this meant was that a medieval woman could expect - indeed demand - to be treated more or less the same way the men of her class were. Where no ancient legal obstacle existed, such as Salic law, a king's daughter could and did expect to rule, even after marriage.
Women of the knightly class could & did arm & fight - something that required a MASSIVE outlay of money, which was obviously at their discretion & disposal. See: Sichelgaita, Isabel de Conches, the unnamed women fighting in armour as knights during the Third Crusade, as recorded by Muslim chroniclers.
Tolkien's Eowyn is a great example of this medieval attitude to class trumping race: complaining that she's being told not to fight, she stresses her class: "I am of the house of Eorl & not a serving woman". She claims her rights, not as a woman, but as a member of the warrior class and the ruling family. Similarly in Renaissance Venice a doge protested the practice which saw 80% of noble women locked into convents for life: if these had been men they would have been "born to command & govern the world". Their class ought to have exempted them from discrimination on the basis of sex.
So, tip #1 for writing medieval women: remember that their class always outweighed their gender. They might be subordinate to the men within their own class, but not to those below.
SECOND. Whereas Victorians saw women's highest calling as marriage & children - the "angel in the house" ennobling & improving their men on a spiritual but rarely practical level - Medievals by contrast prized virginity/celibacy above marriage, seeing it as a way for women to transcend their sex. Often as nuns, saints, mystics; sometimes as warriors, queens, & ladies; always as businesswomen & merchants, women could & did forge their own paths in life
When Elizabeth I claimed to have "the heart & stomach of a king" & adopted the persona of the virgin queen, this was the norm she appealed to. Women could do things; they just had to prove they were Not Like Other Girls. By Elizabeth's time things were already changing: it was the Reformation that switched the ideal to marriage, & the Enlightenment that divorced femininity from reason, aggression & public life.
For more on this topic, read Katherine Hager's article "Endowed With Manly Courage: Medieval Perceptions of Women in Combat" on women who transcended gender to occupy a liminal space as warrior/virgin/saint.
So, tip #2: remember that for medieval women, wife and mother wasn't the ideal, virgin saint was the ideal. By proving yourself "not like other girls" you could gain significant autonomy & freedom.
Finally a bonus tip: if writing about medieval women, be sure to read writing on women's issues from the time so as to understand the terms in which these women spoke about & defended their ambitions. Start with Christine de Pisan.
I learned all this doing the reading for WATCHERS OF OUTREMER, my series of historical fantasy novels set in the medieval crusader states, which were dominated by strong medieval women! Book 5, THE HOUSE OF MOURNING (forthcoming 2023) will focus, to a greater extent than any other novel I've ever yet read or written, on the experience of women during the crusades - as warriors, captives, and political leaders. I can't wait to share it with you all!
If you're writing about Byzantium/Byzantine inspired places, there's a few other things to keep in mind:
-Byzantium was a civilization that spanned a millenia and a huge geographical area. The treatment and experience of women was not constant at all times in all places.
-Women had different levels of autonomy at different periods of their lives. Many women gained great autonomy after their husband's death (and he usually died much before her), and could be registered as the head of household.
-There are basically two career options for Byzantine women: wife/mother or nun. Sometimes both, but never at the same time.
-Just as in the Latin West, class mattered a lot, and basically determined a person's entire life. Peasant women worked in agriculture and trades, while noble women had a much softer life.
-the idea that noble women were confined to the house is likely an exaggeration. (A byproduct of Byzantium's "distorting mirror") Furthermore, the women's quarters were nowhere near as closed off and restricted as the later Ottoman harems. In many places, women could move freely between their own quarters and the rest of the house. However, if a non-related male was visiting it was customary that the women would not be seen. This seems to be a mainly noble/middle class practice, and not an elite or peasant practice.
-Women played important ceremonial functions at the royal court. The Augusta (one of three titles for an empress) received the wives of visiting nobles, and was so important that, even if the emperor was unmarried, he might crown his daughter for the role. (See Leo the Wise) Additionally, there was an office reserved just for a woman, she was called "the lady with the sash" and she was placed very close to the emperor, and thus highly influential.
-Imperial women were highly influential, and could be incredibly masterful politicians.
-Women weren't forced to have endless babies until they died in childbirth. Byzantine women had access to both contraception and abortion, and there was some amount of recognition of a woman's right to choose. Furthermore, if a woman already had kids, but decided she didn't want to be a mom anymore, joining a convent was always an option. (For wealthy women)
If you're interested in learning more, the volume "Byzantine Women: Varieties of Experience," edited by Lynda Garland is a good starting point. You can also read the hymns of Kassia the Nun, or the Alexiad of Anna Komnene to get an idea of how women wrote, and what concerned elite women.
Excellent comments - plus, I'll recommend the great Judith Herrin as a magisterial voice in Byzantine women's history!
