i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out
Omg au idea based off a tiktok I saw a couple days ago but now can’t find
The trinity are actually all Kryptonian. Because they’re triplets. But their pods all landed in totally different places.
Clark is raised by Ma and Pa Kent like normal.
Diana lands on Themyscira directly after Hippolyta prayed to Zeus for a child, so she assumes Diana was sent by Zeus and raises her as her child.
Bruce is found by the Waynes when they’re on some rich people vacation gallivanting around the globe, and they’ve been trying for a child unsuccessfully for so long, so they just take him home with them and tell everyone he was born abroad.
Separately, they all still become Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. They all still come together to form the Justice League. But Diana doesn’t know she’s not Amazonian, and Bruce maybe thinks he has some sort of meta gene but doesn’t like to use his powers if he can avoid it, so he thinks he’s otherwise a normal human.
Clark is the only one who knows he’s a triplet, because the holograms of his parents in the Fortress of Solitude mention it. He thinks his brother and sister must have been lost in space. He grieves them, because there’s no reason for him to believe they’re alive.
Until he brings Bruce and Diana to the Fortress of Solitude for the first time, and the technology recognizes them as the other two triplets.
Also Bruce and Clark would be identical twins, and Diana is their triplet. No one ever realized before now that Bruce and Clark are literally identical.
But they decide not to really advertise the fact that they’re triplets. They don’t really tell anyone other than close family, (Ma and Pa, Alfred, etc.).
Anyway, now enter little eight year old Robin Dick Grayson, who is also secretly Kryptonian. Is he their big brother who got stuck in the Phantom Zone? Is he Zod’s son? Anything could work really depends on how angsty you wanna get.
But when Bruce finally brings him to meet Clark and Diana and tells Dick that he’s Kryptonian and he’s a triplet and Clark and Diana are his brother and sister, Dick maybe kinda gets nervous and holds his hands behind his back and digs his toe into the ground.
“What, what’s wrong?” Bruce is so worried about him.
“Can you promise to be real cool about something if I tell you? And also to not get rid of me because I actually really like you and Alfie and I don’t wanna leave.”
Anyway just food for thought
Could also make Donna Dick’s actual Kryptonian twin who also got separated from him when they landed. And if we want triplets so each of the Trinity gets their own mini me: enter Chris Kent and make them all Zod’s kids lmao

oh narnia my first love 🖤 i’m so happy that the two sons of adam and two daughters of eve remained in narnia and never left only to return to a completely different, colonised world just to leave again
imagine the fucking horror young, traumatised, found family loving me endured when i watched the movies and realised very slowly that they ended up back in the “real world” as kids agains only to watch the next movie and fUCKING REALISE NOT ONLY DID THEY RETURN TO A NARNIA CENTURIES OLDER AND DARKER BUT ALSO COLONISED AND INVADED 😭
Oh believe me, there are a lot of us here who think about that on the regular (and I was wholly a book girl until very recently when I rewatched the first two movies - though I refuse to rewatch Dawn Treader)
Anyway yeah I've been writing fanfic about this for almost 4 years now, damn that's gone quickly!
But yeah, insane edit, thank you so much! 💜

It's not just that they're doing corruption, but they're doing the kind of corruption that is basically "guy hands over a cartoon money sack with dollar signs on it" corruption.
tumblr is great bc its like a diary where I can take other peoples diary entries and glue them into my own diary
it’s interesting how gwencelot and freylin are narratively very similar (fast intense connection, as opposed to a slow build like arwen) yet fandom seems to respond to them so differently??? freylin tends to get framed as shallow or rushed and “they barely even know each other” while gwencelot gets read as fated, instant, meant to be. like….why is this… i get that some of it is just the whole guinevere lancelot mythology and also screen presence (them getting more cumulative scenes across more episodes) but also it is bizarre that the same speed of attachment gets coded as sincere/romantic in one case and questionable/convenient in the other
ok so i'm offering my two cents on the matter 🫴
i think acknowledging freya, and merlin's love for her, and particularly the fact that he was fully prepared to run away with her represents a capital P problem for merthur shippers, in the sense that (shipping goggles on) freylin just doesn't make sense: it's a disruptive, destabilizing element in the narrative when you think about how ready merlin was to leave everything behind (coff coff arthur) the entire architecture of fanon merthur starts to collapse: the 'standard' reading that by this point they would and will sacrifice everything for each other, is fundamentally incompatible with freylin
people in the tags are saying that it's because making merlin gay would solve a lot of headaches for the average merthur shipper, and although i agree with the sentiment that the dislike for freylin is dependent on its interference with the main m/m ship, i think there's more to it than just that
freya is, i think, a particular inconvinient character for merthur shippers. compared to other merlin ships, that can easily coexist with merthur to varying degrees, freylin as it's presented in the show simply cannot. this ship creates a fracture in the fanon view that is impossible to ignore: when push comes to shove, merlin does not choose arthur there is no ambiguity, no room to keep things open to interpretations: merlin decides, without a second though, that he's willing to leave camelot and arthur and his destiny behind for this girl "he barely knows", and it's not just empty talk: he is 100% ready to do it (he leaves camelot in 1x10 too, but for his own mother, and there are no conflicting romatic feelings involved in the decision) it's the definiteness of it, of merlin's choice, that clashes with the way merthur thrives in the blurry, unresolved spaces of every other relationship. even arwen it's not that conclusive, to me, in the sense that it never categorically denies merthur, and even if you don't want to straight-up ignore it, it can still easily become subsidiary to merthur (see: comphet arthur readings, poly interpretations, etc.). i always wonder if people's response to freya would be different, were freylin not so 'final' -- if merlin was shown to love freya with all he had, but rejected the idea of leaving arthur's side in fact! the second reason i think freylin is particularly hard to digest (though i admit this might be a bit of a stretch), it's because it frames merlin in a way that merthur viewers cannot accept -- it's him who's supposed to be aware of his feelings for arthur. it's merlin who's entrusted with the knowledge of what they truly mean to each other. it's merlin that's been told, again and again, they are two sides of the same coin. arthur is granted much more leeway, because he's terminally oblivious, in canon and fanon alike -- but never merlin. merlin knows. when merlin chooses to leave arthur for freya, it's a betrayal of the trust the viewer has palced into him to validate their favourite ship. the fact that merlin, in that moment, does not prioritize arthur at all, creates a kind of cognitive dissonance that is very hard to reconcile plus, merlin acts selfishly in a way that the viewer simply won't allow him to: he's the one who's expected to renounce everything for arthur, for their love and the destiny they share. this is the version of merlin that merthur fandom generally gravitates towards: a merlin who is defined by his 'martyrdom', and whose sacrifices are always justifiable within the framework of an all-consuming devotion. by loving freya and choosing her, he also chooses a version of himself that the (merthur) audience never really agreed to, and doesn't want to recognize

The Clarifier would like to make just one more comment
I am worried about my neighbor's new hobby.
The coins are actually very hefty. Seems a little dangerous tbh
Update: he found my number
Official ominous sign(s)
I'm not gonna articulate this well, but there's this phenomenon I keep seeing on the left that I'll call "bean soup rhetoric," wherein someone fails to understand that they are not the target audience for a particular message, or just can't conceptualize why a speaker would craft their message differently to resonate with a target audience that doesn't already completely agree with them.
"The 'God Made Trans People' billboard is stupid! God didn't make me! I'm an atheist!" Okay. The billboard sits along a major highway in Kansas. We can deduce that the target audience is not you—it's the centrist evangelical Christians driving along that road who could probably be persuaded to become allies as long as we choose our words carefully and don't make them feel attacked for not already knowing everything about trans rights issues. Another one I see a lot is, "We shouldn't be talking about how right-wing legislation catches [privileged in-group] in the crossfire when [marginalized out-group] suffers far more!" I know. I agree with you. Which is why you and I are not the intended audience of this argument!
The entire point of rhetoric is to win over someone who doesn't already fully agree with you. In this case, let's say that someone is Jennifer, the moderate center-right mom in your neighborhood who doesn't really know or care about transgender issues but would be absolutely horrified by the idea of her teenage daughter having to submit to an invasive inspection of her body just to be allowed to play soccer. Tell her, "Banning trans students from sports will inevitably subject all student athletes to invasive gender-policing," or "Legal restrictions on gender-affirming care will make it harder for you to access the hormone replacement therapy you take to treat menopause symptoms," and she is more likely to question her existing beliefs and listen to the rest of what you have to say than if you lead with leftist talking points that she already has a calcified opinion about or which she thinks do not personally affect her.
Tailoring the argument to the things she already cares about does not mean we're forgetting that she has more privilege than most—entirely the opposite, in fact. A privileged ally can be extremely valuable. Jennifer votes in every election. And so do all the other ladies at her book club, and church, and in the PTA, and those folks listen to Jennifer. There's a reason both parties were courting suburban women so hard in the last election cycle! If we can find common ground with her on this, if we can get her calling her representatives and talking to her friends and phone-banking and door-knocking and making a stink, that's how the needle starts to move. If I can convince her to take her support away from the candidates who are actively restricting my rights and throw it toward those who want to restore and expand those rights...then I'm sorry, but Jennifer is a more valuable ally to me than the people who agree that the legal boundaries of gender ought to be abolished altogether but refuse to actually do anything except complain online about how both sides are equally bad because the right is trying to force everyone to drink the cyanide kool-aid while the left keeps serving bean soup and they don't like bean soup
"Meet people where they are" is Activism 101, and people seem to be allergic to seeing that this is exactly that.
"Bean Soup Rhetoric" is a very good concept.
Seeing people I know and like using AI is making me understand the protagonists of those old time sci fi dystopia's.
"Oh I don't normally use AI, I just wanted it to plan my trip"
You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.
"Oh I only use it so I can figure out what to make during the week with what I have"
The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.
"I had a writing idea, so I typed a few sentences into Chat GPT and I was able to write 20 pages with it."

The Magnanimous Airplane
well, the ears dropped
sight I saw in san francisco, twice: gaggle of tiny children leashed together being herded along, everyone in hi-vis
