@maklodes mentioned thinking that my username probably referred to my real name being some form of 'Matthew', so I thought I'd like to relate its true and minutely more interesting origin, which is that I used to do jiu-jitsu but wasn't very good at it. A no-good grappler smacks into the floor a lot. To try to appear insouciant about these impacts, I would think or murmur things like, "Hello, crash mat, my old friend"; "Ground, you villain, we meet again!"; and, "Well met, mat, old fellow!".

(Elsewhere I go by 'Tappymat', which probably makes the grappling connection more obvious.)

League members discussing meeting Robin at work:

"Compared to Bats, Robin was a total sweetheart. Ball of sunshine."

"Man, must've been a good day then, the kid I met was a real anklebiter. He pulled out a sword and everything."

"Anklebiter is harsh, the sweet boy I met barely said a word, he just kept asking about Themyscira and the lasso."

"He? I met a blonde girl."

"No, no, black haired boy with blue eyes. We're talking about Robin."

"Yeah same here, blue eyed and tanned."

"Pretty sure he had green eyes. And talked fancy. And kind of scolded me for time travelling."

"The child I met was paler than the moon."

"I'm telling you I met a girl, and she was Robin."

"Well... either we're all wrong or we're all right."

So they arrive at the conclusion that Bats has a shape-shifter for a kid.

#Not particularly original #however still amusing #They conveniently forget how many years have passed between interactions #And also forget that people can have the same“hero” name #Batman #Batfamily #dc robin #like Red Hood (there was another red hood before that)#Bruce Wayne #Dick Grayson #Jason todd #Damian Wayne #Tim Drake #Stephanie brown #This came to me in a fever dream #jla #justice league

Saw this post by @doppelnatur how dandelions are pretty good trans symbols and got inspired! Happy pride everyone 🏳️‍⚧️

#trans #transgender #trans pride #pride month #queer #also btw dandelions are called lion's tooth in german due to their leaf shape #which i think is a very cool name! :3 #glad i managed to finish it in time for pride month :D #gender #queer tag #dandelion #pride #siarvenart #edit: added image description in alt text that was originally provided by @windwardstar #because apparently the version showing up in the tags (?) that keeps getting reblogged isnt the one with that on it #cw eye strain

alright look, i just wanna know who is the writer that came up with the dumbass idea of replacing the line “Ever since I lost my son, I think of you as my own” with “Lu Ten would have been proud to have you as his father” in this scene for the Netflix live action series???

#atla #Avatar the Last Airbender #atlaedit #animationedit #Zuko #Uncle Iroh #*mine #GIVE ME THE NAME!!!!!#and it's funny how they chose to keep most of the lines almost verbatim in this scene but then replaced the MOST important line...#seriously who in their right f*cking mind thought that was the better line to say in this context HUH???#the way it was originally written was such an important highlight of this scene too!!#IT LITERALLY SUMS UP IROH AND ZUKO'S ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP IN ONE SENTENCE #like i know certain dialogues can't be translated well into live action and some changes are necessary #but there was absolutely NO reason to change this particular line whatsoever in this specific scene
