God's Little Mistake

i hate when people ask me really deep-cut hyper-nuanced wibbly-wobbly impossible-to-answer questions about dc canon, such as "how old are the characters supposed to be"

wanna be clear too this isnt even about characters like bart or kon who have complicated ages due to speedster stuff/cloning/whatever. like yeah ok those are objectively weird situations but BECAUSE they're weird the comics do at least tend to clearly spell out whats going on. both impulse 95 and yj98 clearly spell out multiple times that bart is chronologically 3 but physically/mentally 15 because his speeding accelerated his age and he was raised in vr. ok makes sense. now explain to me how the fuck old tim drake is supposed to be in current canon

*psychoanalyses myself in the shower*

a thing about me is i basically never notice a wig or other kind of hairpiece in tv/movies. it has to be party city territory for me to even twig it. people will complain about characters' wigs looking bad and i will nod along but there is like a 90% chance i did not notice for a second while watching. i consider this mostly a blessing.

reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way

so many people don't understand how abelist it is to kill your brother with a rock

sex pollen is an integral part of the fanfiction ecosystem but i just don't think poison ivy would make anything that encourages procreation of even more humans. unless she figures out how to make the sex pollen same-sex specific or fertility-negating she's not making it at all. #philosophical

reading dnis is a great way to learn words that no one has ever used and might not even be real
