where i don't think scott is very physically affectionate i think marvel should buck up and let him think of cable as his baby boy. he'll be like. 'oh that's my baby son look at him :]" and it goes to a 65 year old man going crazy with a gun or something.

Things batfam stans need to leave behind in 2023:
Jason's Lazarus pit rage
Thinking Tim's parents were horribly abusive and hated him
Only caring about Stephanie in terms of her relationship to another person (ex: Tim's bestie/ex/gf or Cass' gf/bestie)
Treating Jason or Stephanie like they're stupid
Feral Demon Child Damian
Permanent sunshine boy Dick Grayson
Any "[blank] was the real violent Robin" discourse
Really just any reducing or sectioning of certain traits to certain batfam members and not allowing other characters to exhibit those same traits (ex: see sunshine Dick Grayson)
But also stealing traits from other characters and projecting them onto someone else (ex: Jason getting Dick's personality in fics. He is not the same type of big brother Dick is canonically)
Purposefully mischaracterizing characters for angst (ex: Dick sent Tim to Arkham, my beloathed. also again see Tim's parents)
Trying really hard to nuclearize the family. They are an unconventional family for many reasons, and that's why they're interesting.
"Alfred solos the batfam"
Making Duke "the normal one" and completely forgetting to give him an actual personality.
Cass using sign language because she can read body language (note: does not apply to YJ Cass who has damaged vocal chords)
Cass being used as a prop for her brothers
Tim being weak, woobified baby
Feel free to add on ~~
Don't send hate over these things because idgaf, they are harmful mischaracterizations, and many are built on total ignorance and often racism, classism, ableism, and sexism.

Thinking about "your weakness is how you always want to be the hero" and how the series returns to this at the end
Li Lianhua hated how he acted as Li Xiangyi and spent years trying to distance himself from it, but ultimately he still fell back into the similar patterns, for all his added experience
His main priority was always to "do the right thing" regardless of how that would impact on those around him. And it *did* impact those around him. From Qiao Wanmian and Shan Gudao as Li Xiangyi to Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng as Li Lianhua
Giving the Styx flower to the emperor so he could use it as leverage to guarantee Fang Duobing and his family's safety. Using the last of his power to save Yun Biqiu. Constantly putting others above himself whilst actively refusing to recognise that his self-sacrificial nature would hurt those he cared about most
And sure, he thinks he's going to die anyway. They're going to be hurt regardless and he can't do anything about that. His odds are low of the Styx flower even working. But ultimately, he refuses to even consider trying. Li Xiangyi has been dead a long time and Li Lianhua is just there to tide things over. What value is the life of a ghost
To the end, he lives and dies a hero. To the end, he refuses to live for himself.
#sth about how he almost managed to live for himself but his past and need to do right doomed him.#those missing years before canon starts were probably the closest he got but even then the knowledge he couldn't use martial arts#must have killed him (no pun intended). because he'd put so much stock in his identity as sigu sect leader + hero + prodigy#so to have such a massive part of his identity stripped from him... honestly it doesn't seem that he ever fully comes to terms with it#but he makes progress and he tries to do better. + that leads to him becoming a different type of 'hero' than the symbol he was originally#deep down he wants to help people with all he has but his capacity isn't infinite + at some point can only be taken from himself#mysterious lotus casebook#mlc spoilers#also to be clear I mention shan gudao not to say lxy should have realised earlier bc for a lot of the time he was too young to notice#and later on sgd did better at hiding his intentions. but more for how lxy tunnel visioned towards his idea of righteousness#and steamrolled over everyone else. both sgd and qwm were placed far below the importance of the sigu sect#and lxy's arrogance made it such that sigu became reliant on him alone as he shut others out (hence domino fall once he went).#idk if he could ever have 'fixed' what was btwn him and sgd bc it was so deep rooted but I do think that his actions#helped convince sgd that sgd was entirely in the right to choose his path#mlc#edit: just went and checked the exact wording of the TL and it's actually 'you like being a hero' rather than 'you want to be the hero'#which is different but still close enough in implications for my point to stand (I think)

I'm not an aro!Eddie girlie because he very obviously experiences romantic love and experiences it deeply, but sometimes the way people talk to him about his life and about his love makes me want to be just so they can fuck off
#Everyone talks to him like “Eddie you'll be alone forever Eddie you'll be alone forever” like... I was going to say maybe that's what he#wants (and. like. maybe it is) but also. He won't be alone. He won't ever be alone again. Isn't that what Chimney said in 4x2 when the girl#was giving birth? She said she's been alone her whole life and then she had a little girl and Chimney said she'll never be alone again.#Eddie has Chris. He has a built in person for life. But it's not just that. He's got Buck. The love there is unconditional. Whatever form i#takes the love is there and it doesn't go away. He's got Bobby. He's got Hen. Chimney. Maddie. May. His parents (or his dad at the very#least). Eddie Diaz is one of the most loved people on the entire planet and it's not just... love that's uttered and then forgotten. It's#active love. People show it to him and prove it every day. So no. He wont' be alone. If he never gets married ever again he will still be#so full of love it'll make him dizzy and that's a good thing#and the more I sit on it I'm just like. If no Canon Buddie I want Eddie to be alone for the rest of his life#because sometimes ''alone'' isn't actually alone at all. And sometimes it's a damn beautiful thing#Romantic love isn't the pinnacle of existence. It's just a root on the tree of life.#He's had it. He has loved romantically. He has been loved romantically. He has experienced what a lot of people don't get to.#and so now he can just... soak in the love that is and always will be readily available to him#but anyways#tv: 911#jack.txt

Dear God how I fucking hate when people dismiss s character's traits because "that's just a facade! you as the reader have to see underneath it!!" like yeah no fucking shit Sherlock, a well written character has more than one (1) defining trait but that doesn't mean their most prominent one or the one most recognized by fandom ISN'T there
yes this is about people thinking dick grayson isn't actually a ray of sunshine, that it's just a mask. he's much more than the happy one, of fucking course, all batfam members (when written well) are, but that doesn't mean that being happy and bright is not a crucial part of his personality. he brings light to people's lives, he's a beacon of hope, that's what Robin was born for, as a light to Batman's darkness. That's what Nightwing is. He can be serious, sure. He's smart, an amazing strategist, incredibly good at fighting, he can be manipulative and morally gray and sometimes an objectively bad person. But he's ALSO funny and quippy and bright and sunshine. BECAUSE HE'S WELL WRITTEN.
Like Jesus stop making him so sad and wrong all the time just because you want so bad to go against "fanon". It's not fanon if it's literally his core trait. It's not fanon if it's what the character was BORN AS. God.
#I'm not sure if this even makes sense#it's almost 6am I haven't slept and I just saw someone say he's a manipulative bitch and to stop writing him as a ray of sunshine#and now I'm mad#because this parson had this lukewarm takes with most of the batkids#like yeah I get a lot of damian's traits and back story are deeply rooted in racism#but like he did try to kill tim. and he killed a bunch of people when he first got to Gotham. that's a thing that happened.#and no matter how racist the reason behind that plot line might have been#it's something that happened and choosing to believe it didn't happen because it doesn't fit your preconceived ideas of how#a character should or should not be is just plain stupid#you can explore the character and change their personality and play with them in fanfic sure that's what we all do#but don't pretend that canon doesn't exist. you can choose to utilize it or not but acknowledge it even if it's just to spit in it's face#damian's not tame he's not more chill than his brothers he's not misunderstood#he's a child who had a horribly traumatic childhood and reacts with violence because that's all he knows#Jason's angry and he has every right to be and to say he isn't is to erase an incredibly important part of his character#you don't get to tell a victim how to be a good victim. Jason's a victim.#dc#batman#rambles#batfam#batfamily#dc universe#dc comics#batman and robin#dick grayson#Jason Todd#Damian Wayne#nightwing#red hood#oh look I made a post about dc that is NOT about Tim#wild huh

Actually thinking about the immigrant narrative in Jaime's Blue Beetle because... This is a 2nd gen immigrant with alien tech fused to his spine......... In an America where his parents (and probably himself) get slurs thrown at them for being "illegal aliens"…......... There's some kind of metaphor there

A made a fully colored solid design for spike! Fixed up the things like his tail bark being a little too small or his legs being uneven or how to do the eyes. They're gray now! I also gave him freckles and stripes because I think it's cute
#I decided to make them part of the copper winglet because... idk#I like that name. copper winglet. sounds nice. a lot more of a ring than jade. besides#canon already did that one#this is. lets just say a few years later anyway but still. I wanna different one#I also adjusted the 'spikes' on his tail to be part of the sandwing frill but just in a weird shape#he's a little weirdly shaped. Maybe there's some Mudwing blood a few generations up that snuck in and got his horns#But both his parents were sandwings whos parents were sandwings. yknow#Also his siblings all hate him for different reasons#like one thinks he's annoying. one thinks he's 'useless'. one thinks he isn't careful enough and thinks hes a dumb kid who'll never grow up#etc etc#he is friends with his winglet though! I'm trying to figure out a way for him and Dreamwalker to communicate... aside from like#convenient magic#but I wanna be better than that yknow#he's probably closest with Frostbite. since he knew him in childhood in the sandwing kingdom#he also spends a lot of time talking to Root. He's a good listener#Root /is/ listening. People may think he's staring off into space#but he's not. he's listening. he hears. he hears /too/ much. too many sounds#wof#wof ocs#wings of fire#wings of fire oc#wof oc#wings of fire ocs#OH Spike is also really clumsy with his tail. Obviously the books established they don't sting unless they control it to but#Not every dragonet knows that so people are always yelling at him for being so clumsy with that giant barb

Drake-s (Drake-takes, get it?)
As a Drake apologist, I can honestly say that this episode made me incredibly uncomfortable.
But let's put this under a cut, shall we? Read on if you dare...
Realistically, the way I see it, there were only two things Drake actually did that were notably "wrong" during this episode:
After Betty rebuffed her, starting to go after Barchie- which, when you think about it from an emotional perspective, makes sense. She would have been anxious about speaking her mind, disappointed about Betty's reaction, and most likely feeling frustrated after seeing somebody who she clearly cares a lot about, with another person she doesn't think is compatible with her. So when I think about, while not amazing, these actions can easily be justified.
That throwaway line after Drake said goodnight to Betty, the one along the lines of "who were you imagining while singing, TBK or Archie" was just... not it. It was very much out of line, and made me feel uncomfortable as a viewer. All I can really think of as a defence, is this: Looking at her as a person, I think that she was fed up with Veronica trying to push her away from somebody she liked and angry with the rejection, so decided to throw this line in to stir the pot. Still definitely not ok.
With that said, she also did a few things right:
Expressing her feelings to Betty in an open and honest way- including politely asking about whether her relationship with Archie was exclusive. Despite not getting the answers she wanted, she communicated effectively (for the most part), so good on her! I choose to believe she didn't have any nefarious intentions going into this, most likely legitimately misreading the situation and trying to make a move on someone she thought could reciprocate.
Continuing to listen to and respect both Betty and Veronica after everything that occurred. I will go into my opinions on Veronica this episode in a seperate post (but in summary, I thought she was out of line).
Drawing back after she was rebuffed (referring to Betty as "Agent Cooper", not overstepping her boundaries or trying to make another move on her).
This brings me to the whole 'hybristophilia' situation. I never want to shame or judge anybody for what they find attractive, but man I found the description of these interests uncomfortable to listen to. Serial killers? Frankly, I wish they kept the attraction Drake felt for Betty to something a little sweeter and more innocent, what I like to call a "life crush".
*For context, a 'life crush' is the name I give to an attraction where somebody doesn't particularly have interest in being in a relationship with the person, but still finds them physically, characteristically and emotionally attractive.
So yeah, I'm disappointed on that front.
Lastly, what role do I think Agent Drake will play in the future of Riverdale? RAS said in an interview that "we haven't seen the last of Agent Drake". This quote gives me the impression that either a) they are baiting us yet again, or b) she will be in future episodes, most likely framed as a villain.
I personally would love to see her back (because Sophia Tatum is beautiful, and an amazingly talented actress), but if she does return, I need her character to be done properly! I need some positive LGBTQ+ representation, with Drake portrayed as a fully fleshed out character. Or if not her, I'd like some of the other queer people on the show to be a little less two dimensional.
Furthermore, as much as I hate to say it, it seems my dear Jillian Drake has been trashed by the Riverdale writers, much like many of the other queer characters on the show. I just hope that some day, one of my fictional crushes might be done right- in the mean time, I'm off to go and headcannon her character as the woman I fell in love with *sigh*.
Feel free to send me any of your thoughts!
xoxo

I follow LuckyLeftie on tiktok and although I haven't read the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, her video about the Covey names made me realise Amy Rose fits the convention and I am excited by this.

Today marks one year since I started posting fics on AO3! Throwback to my first MHA fic featuring Bakugou and Deku bonding over videogames and shared fears. I think I've come a long way writing-wise this past year, but I'm still proud of this piece. 🥰
