Just A Little Guy

Obsessed with how some people get so attached to their own headcanons that they get mad when they see a character presented as they are in canon

don’t care didn’t ask + you’ve projected onto this character to the point that your characterisation is unrecognisable to the source material

"He wouldn't say that" has a beautiful cousin, and her name is "That's Not What This Story is About".

a pet peeve of mine is when folks in the comics fandom acts like there is only one way to interpret nuanced/complex topics... like idk i think it all depends. and i hate being told what to think sorryn't

timkon is so good when content about it is made by people who genuinely love and understand both characters instead of seeing kon as solely ship material, or when there is no stephanie brown or other undeserving women hate, or when it is derived from canon content instead of fanon, or when it is shipped by people who see the reasoning behind the ship instead of just inserting it into things because it is one of tim's most popular ones, or when there is no one talking about a weird clone baby au in your ear, or when-

people who whine about tim drake without having read his comics piss me off more than people who act like they're his biggest fan without having read his comics

to be clear idgaf if you don't like tim and idgaf if you haven't read his comics. but if you loudly claim both of those things at the same time then you, too, are just really into fanon

some of you think ‘nuanced’ only means ‘morally grey’ and I’m here to tell you that actually straight up good characters can still be nuanced and unapologetically evil characters can still be nuanced. the character doesn’t have to be an anti hero or morally dubious to have depth. they don’t even have to feel sorry about their crimes to have depth.

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”
