Top 5… superbat moments 🫡

Lorrrrrd. You’s asking the moron who still hasn’t read the (or any) comicsssss, I’m sorryyyy. I’ll do my best from memory here. Please keep in mind that I’ve just.. yaknow.. absorbed most of these via tumblr osmosis teehee :3

1. When Clark brought Bruce to the Lazarus pit to be resurrected (or healed?) because he couldn’t lose his husband 🥺

2. When Clark smashed down a door and did the little bow thing to let Bruce go through first (a true gent)

I’VE SPENT NEARLY AN HOUR TRYING TO FIND THIS GIF CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I AM GETTING FRUSTRATED 😭 you know the scene I’m referencing tho

3. When Bruce sacrifices himself / “dies” and Clark goes berserk on Lex unf good stuff (someone photoshop husband where it says best friend, they made a typo)

4. When they’re locked in the box together and Bruce has to pull kryptonite shrapnel out of Clark 😭❤️

Honestly just this entire movie

5. That scene with Bruce banging on the door in World’s Finest comic where he’s yelling that Clark is counting on him (hmnnnng my heart)

Bonus gifs because I make the rules:

#thank yooooou #see? I totally pay attention #don’t mind that I see all these through shipper eyes teehee #mishask #top 5 ask game #listen I found these images by googling because I’m on my phone #image heavy #long post #superbat

what i like especially about the pronouns in the goblin emperor is that this language doesn't just have the T-V distinction (aka informal vs. formal second-person pronouns, in this case 'thou' vs. 'you'), it also has informal and formal first-person pronouns. having BOTH of these distinctions in the same language lets you fine-tune your tone by mixing and matching. with only one axis of formality, when you use informal pronouns, are you being familiar in an intimate way, or in an insolent or dismissive way? when you use formal pronouns, are you being polite or standoffish? you can't tell just from the pronouns; there's ambiguity. but a language where you can use a formal first-person pronoun in the same sentence as an informal second-person pronoun allows you to distance yourself (via the formal first) while also being familiar (via the informal second), thereby achieving the conversational tenor known to linguists as Fuck Thee Specifically.

#just kidding i don't know what linguists call that tenor. or any tenors. i'm not totally positive what a tenor even is #but i can't let that stop me from writing a jokey post on tumblr dot com #register is a very interesting area of linguistics that i know very little about #so i'm probably revealing the depths of my vast ignorance here to all the sociolinguists who surely hang on my every word #but i've always thought of the formal/informal pronoun thing as being about two things: intimacy-distance & rudeness-politeness #and of course you can usually tell from context whether a formal pronoun is meant to indicate distance or politeness #(plus distance and politeness are related to each other (to various degrees depending on culture))#but it seems like it would be cool to have a built-in alignment chart of sorts just for pronoun combos #instead of prep jock nerd goth...why not try intimate self-effacing polite superior?#the goblin emperor #pronouns #register #sociolinguistics #my posts #f #anyway i know i said i wasn't going to reread the goblin emperor...but guess what. lol #and i edited my tags on that earlier post but fyi the language DOES distinguish between plural and formal singular pronouns #i had said i thought it used the same pronouns for plural and formal but i just wasn't paying close enough attention #so anyway i just reread the part where maia is talking to setheris in formal first and informal second #and you can see setheris going ohhh shit. oh shit oh shit oh shit #i'm in biiiiiig trouble #you sure are dude. that's the Time to Grovel signal #it's interesting because at the very beginning of the book when i first saw the formal first used i just thought it was the royal we #because i knew the main character was supposed to be royalty #but then EVERYONE was doing it. so it's not the royal we it's just the formal we #however. this does make me realize that the way the royal we would function in a language that retains the t-v distinction #is the same way i'm describing here. it's just reserving that particular tone (i'm better than you and am displeased with you)#for royalty only. which makes sense given royalty's whole deal

It crushes me how much she’s struggling but this is the most she’s said with anyone 😭 and you’re telling me we got the lines “I can hear your heart. When I sleep, I can hear your heart beating through the stone. Can you hear mine?” and I’m supposed to believe they’re not endgame??????? THEY’RE SO ROMANTIC EVEN IN THEIR ANGST!!!

#elucien #elain archeron #lucien vanserra #given how much lucien pays attention to her he sees you more than you realize elain!!!#which is why I’m sure she avoids him lol #I am in SHAMBLES every time #I’m totally normal about this btw #gigi reads acowar #but also the “’he wished she’d shoved him out for window’ is actually hilarious to picture’

Rotting brain alert: Betty wished for Simon to be kept safe, but Simon is actively trying to make himself the Ice King again to ensure the safety and magical status of Fionna and Cake's world, but Fionna and Cake's world was illegally created in his head, so by the rules Scarab is following Simon must be killed, but Golbetty will never sign off on that death warrant bc the express purpose of her existence right now is "keep Simon safe", but Scarab is doing all of this for selfish reasons (to take down Prismo over an old beef) so he's likely not going to take kindly to Golbetty saying he can't kill Simon to destroy the illegal universe, and ajfhdksahfkjlda LOOK AT ALL THIS SET-UP FOR A GREAT SEASON FINALE, OH MY G O D

#fionna and cake #fionna and cake spoilers #scarab fionna and cake #Golbetty #simon petrikov #i really enjoy this show bc the writing is so smart and respects the audience #it never tries to fool you for a second on where the overarching plot is going #the twists are laid out in a way that's detectable but easily missed if you aren't paying attention #like the ice crown Fionna gave Simon! I thought she'd had that stashed away since Winter King totally missed it was Dead World's crown #Fionna's growth over the story has been so believable and really well-done!!!!#i love this series and i'm getting my hopes up really high for the finale to knock it out of the park #Scarab is going to continue being a bad guy n i can't wait to see his shit get wrecked

Gabriel and Dean being dragged out of the bar after causing a right scene when trying to do karaoke.

Gabriel trips and falls because he’s giggling so hard and Sam barely has time to catch him, so he now has to give his extremely drunk and injured boyfriend a piggyback because that was the only way to keep a close eye on him. (Sure it was, Sam.)

Dean is basically just hanging off of Cas and professing his love every chance he gets, as if him and his angel haven’t been dating for over a year at this point.

Cas is positively beaming, whilst Sam is trying to grumble at Gabriel and act grumpy but it’s really hard when Gabe is literally an adorable giggling mess and covering Sam’s face and neck in soft kisses that leave Sam blushing and utterly smitten.

So when the real Blackbeard was killed, his head was displayed as a threat to any pirates who may wander into the Chesapeake Bay. And that historical information makes me wonder if the whole “fake heads idea” is actually going to come back in the show as a final and grand fuckery.

Like, Stede already has experience with faking his death and getting people to believe that some random corpse is his. And maybe it‘ll show itself again when Edward is coming back to himself and wants to retire the name of Blackbeard once and for all.

So Blackbeard’s “head” is taken and displayed while Edward Teach gets to live on, getting to enjoy piracy with his love with all the pressure of his legacy off the table.

i feel very frustrated about the trend of giving chil body hair bc if it was any other anime twink i would be thrilled its just that it seems to only be because people are SO afraid of him looking young they have to make him hairy to justify liking him in ships.

meanwhile it does directly go against canon (he literally is supposed to look like a child. this is integral to both his character and his race's lore as a whole and it makes no damn sense that he would be mistaken for a child if he has body hair i mean. cmon.)

and it's like. some men are hairless. some men look young. when youre a trans man in your 20s-30s its especially common to be mistaken for a teenager, even more so if you're not on t. and short. these traits do not make you less of a man or an adult. :/

#rot posts #listen its like. i just wish ppl werent doing it for the reasons they seem to be #you NEVER see tiny little men get body hair in fanart i should know ive been in multiple fandoms where i was the only 1 givin bitches hair #but it also sucks when its like. clearly from a place of discomfort and not wanting him to seem young #rather than actually loving body hair #for example where is laios with body hair. wheres kabru. mithrun. literally any other character #(senshi us a slight exception on account of semi canonically having hair)#it just feels like a performance for no one. ok yeah good job you made chil look like a hairy 30 year old #did you pay attention to how that totally disregards his story and how he canonically looks like a child and that IS an important aspect #half foots face infantilism to an extreme and his appearance is a part of this. the discrimination he faces is partially BECAUSE of looks!#so changing him to erase such a HUGE important aspect of his race's lore just bc ppl seem uncomfortable with him being young looking feels #idk the feeling. its frustrating to me #i just wish there was some self reflection here. i guess. some actual acknowledgement of his canon struggles #do you even like chil if you cant accept one of his core canonical traits...#whew anyways this is HUGELY a limited edition post bc im deleting it as soon as my husband reads it ❤️#i hate drama i hate discourse so like always if you try to start shit i will ignore + block you soo fast dont try me

when Amethyst wants attention she just transforms into a cat and starts to headbutt the person who wants attention from till they pay attention to her

#this would’ve been more like earlier amethyst but I can still see amethyst doing it #Pearl doesn’t pay attention to her right away and she just bites her hand instead #<- totally not based on my cat #Sorry I’m yapping again #steven universe #birds rambles #amethyst steven universe

#My art #Wander Over Yonder #Wander #Was I specifically drawing him with his eyes closed to avoid learning his particular eye style? Maybe #But hey look! I did for the second one! That's something! Lol #There's no consensus on his eye colour but I've chosen blue for the moment - it's the eye colour that seems most consistent #There are a lot of elements to his design where I kinda have to unlearn from my own habits lol #The rubberhose is no problem :D I really enjoy rubberhose even if I don't use it very often!#But things like his mouth shape and his teeth only showing when he's like fully smiling - or eyes touching in that cartoony way!#No pun intended but it's very alien to me lol #But it's little things like that that I'm noticing about the ''rules'' of his model like what I was talking about before #He'll still be recognizable as himself if I were to do those things but would they be true to his actual look? Hmm #And I'm totally not against taking some liberties lol - this is fanart that /I'm/ making and very much Not the show lol #But learning and paying attention to details and seeing just how close I can from within the constraints of my own abilities >:3c It's fun!#Plus then it makes my own little touches - calling cards - stand out even more hehe ♪ Blush marks are too fun to ditch completely!#He's a fun and cute lad to work with :3

It’s always so funny to me when someone can’t tell the difference between an actor who’s over the top and an actor who is doing an intentionally over the top performance. The former can be super aggravating, I get it—but the latter can be so goddamn effective. Especially when you know the actor already, know they’re fully capable of giving normal human facial expressions and chill line deliveries. And they’re out here doing The Absolute Most all of a sudden? It’s for a reason, dude. It’s almost always for a reason. And once you can see past the camp on the surface, it’s so much fun digging in to what emotions the character is actually hiding.

#this is mainly about servant (and to a lesser degree YJ)#like Ambrose in servant is (pardon me) serving SUCH a chaotic performance #but having known her for decades I know full well that’s on purpose #Dorothy is over the top because she HAS to be. because she’s built walls so high around her own grief that the denial comes out in Crazy #and she fully thinks she’s the only one paying attention. the only sane one in the room.#you get glimpses of her being ‘normal’ in flashbacks #still a little Much. still a product of wealth and expectation. detached from reality to a degree.#but the character she becomes after the tragedy is. A Character.#it’s not the woman she was before. she bricked that woman up. she’s taken her performance from television and made a baby blanket out of it #it’s so. so intentional.#and you sort of get a similar thing going with Hewson in early eps of YJ #totally different starting block. Van doesn’t start out traumatized. but she does start out Big #she’s loud she’s silly she’s being intentionally wacky to get laughs out of people #and some of it comes off a little cringe. because it’s a kid playing a role #this is how you like me. I’m gay. I’m butch. I’m hiding.#if I’m a jester you’ll see what I want you to and nothing more. that’s the plan. it’s working. don’t look at the goalie.#not as a person.#but as the show goes on (or as she’s spending time with taissa) she slows down some. quiets. she’s snarkier. holding tension differently.#Hewson starts the performance at an 11 so they can really delve into who Van becomes when the mask is off #when there’s no point in playing the class clown #when it’s like. ah yeah. here’s the kid who grew up too fast.#here’s the kid who’s scared to death. and angry. and willing to fight to live.#it’s not an overacting thing. it’s VAN overacting to keep her secrets #watch the face so you miss what the hands are doing #actors man. actors are fucking cool. storytelling is fucking cool.#deconstructing the illusion is my favorite thing #(anyway still watching servant and it’s still really. Something Else.)

can I talk about the 001 tattoo?

so we can agree the 001 is darker, thicker, and WAY bigger on Vecna, right? also it's got a vein running prominently right under it, which doesn't seem to match the anatomy of his wrist in the broom closet tat reveal. (idk if that's an original vein or some kind of vine nonsense tbf)

"oh that shot is dark and spooky and cluttered, maybe they just exaggerated it so you can see it" maybe but.. they can do literally anything with cg - zoom into his skin cells or whatever they gotta do to make sure we see that tattoo without having to make it cartoonishly large.

can I also talk about how Nancy sees the tattooing scene twice, and the tattoos look different?

I know em and/or james (sorry much like henward I forget which of you has said what lmao) have discussed the differences in lighting, etc. in the tattoo scenes and the fact that one is unfinished and so might be 000 instead of 001, but I wanted to touch on the Nancy aspect of it too.

just for clarity, the tattoo scenes go like this:

in 4x7 - "when Papa realized he could not control me, he tried to recreate me" we, and Nancy, see the boy getting tattooed 00(unfinished). this is the last time we see Nancy in 4x7.

4x8 picks up with Nancy watching the tattooing, Brenner wiping off a finished 001, and then turning to her with creepy eyes. she tries to run, pries some boards off the doorway, and arrives back in the tattoo scene again.

so although it's broken across two different episodes, this is all one continuous vision for Nancy (one thing split in two - isn't that fitting for a secret Henward reveal)

it's super weird that after Nancy runs from the tattoo scene, Vecna tells her "Now you've seen where I've been; I would like very much to show you where I am going" and then... sends her back into the tattoo scene?

why say that and then immediately show her more redundant "where he's been"? why not just have her bust through that doorway straight into the apocalypse vision, like Victor in wartime France?

"it's like El arriving in the Rainbow Room over and over" yes. it is! but that was El getting clockwork orange'd with HNL footage and her brain struggling to reject it. whereas this is Vecna. and Vecna, as far as we saw, doesn't usually force his victims into loops like that, right?

Max, Chrissy, Fred ran inside their visions. unsuccessfully, yes, but when they ran, they actually travelled. like, when Max ran in the graveyard, she didn't keep arriving at Billy's grave over and over. Chrissy didn't keep finding her mom in every room. so it's curious to me that the only loops are Nancy and El, both in the lab (or I should say, "in the lab" given that neither of them are actually in the lab). so Vecna deviated from his usual method because he reallllly wanted Nancy to see that tattoo some more.. it's just odd to me, IF those tattooings are truly supposed to be the same event.

why else are WE the audience shown this scene multiple times than because they need to have shown us two events, but made sure we conflated them as one? to assume that that was the same boy getting the same tattoo?

anyway, the actual tattoo:

the 00 in 4x7 seems a lot lighter in comparison to the very dark 001 we see being finished up in 4x8.

people with tattoos: do they start it light and then go over it darker? is that a thing? is the 4x7 a realistic depiction of the 4x8 tattoo in progress? because if not I have more thoughts.

btw if I wanted to get real crazy, I would point out that El's tattoo also seems to vary slightly - it seemed bigger when she was little (maybe that part makes sense. how do tattoos behave on growing children?) but also it keeps sneaking closer to her wrist. look how in s1 it's four tattoo-lengths from the crease of her wrist, and by s4 it's more like two. (does anyone know when MBB got that for real?)

anyway I'll leave you with the thought of: remember those two extremely similar and redundant El-dragged-off-to-solitary scenes they showed us in s1?

#standard disclaimer: I'm sure this has been discussed I haven't been paying a lot of attention to analysis lately. just shaking my brain out #mine #analysis #henry creel #what's my tag for this I forget #lab stuff #long post #sorry I'm not readmoring it'll mess up my photo arrangements bc tumblr doesn't know how to behave <3 #ok but 'papa tried to recreate me' the boy we're shown right then is not Me it's The Recreation (000) (Henry)#so then are we thinking Nice Orderly Henry has the 000 tattoo under his sleeve and we just never see it?#I've totally lost track of which guy this is supposed to be when. so lmk if this jives #my free trial of brain has just expired

sometimes i will get bored & go through someone's entire blog since its creation

#& if they have their blog made unsearchable therefore no archive to pick posts from i take it as a challenge #& i really read every post not just skimming i gave up archives caus i find it hard to pay attention to individual posts #plus you never see the full tags & clearly from my postings they serve as the single most important part of a post #the actual post is more of like a title or a sort of epigraph #& i am interested in the Posters themselves like i feel compelled to absorb&gather as much information about them as possible #in an effort to understand them ( as well as myself Many epiphanies & revelations came to me from this activity i recommend it )#i just did this BTW not saying who but god if you never knew of her you totally missed out on the best Poaster tumblr has ever had to offer #her mind was unlike any other & her influence on me is so noticeable even today. wishing her well today & always #also (moving on from that) i even constantly have like 40 tumblr blog tabs open at all times #some that are even i think 3 years old now #i never close them they keep me company i will not really click on yhem either To be honest but those are like my friends My chums;#on my phone as well two year old tabs from when i was still in highschool of tumblr blogs i was reading #i just have so much Love in my heart for Posters real genuine love not interpersonal just as an Observer #well kind of interpersonal when it comes to some #so if you have a tracker & you see someone from north africa spending hours or even days or months on your blog #that would be me #i actually did spend months once back when blogs opened on the side i never shut my laptop off & my tabs are always saved #had to go back & scroll a little to keep the page active to not refresh & i got as far back as 2010 i think #because their blog did not have an archive but NOTHING will stop me OK if you got a Beautiful Mind or Gift Of Curation #i will do anything in my power to enjoy it. without disturbing you ( as much as i can anyway )

idk man as someone who is an asian (desi to be more specific) living in the west i find it hilarious what the west considers to be fit to label and pass as "high fashion". as in its only valid "high fashion" IF its designerwear originated from the west??? which is so weird to me???? sorry darlings but maybe if yall ventured out a little bit and took a look at eastern clothing and eastern designerwear, especially traditional wear, oooooft. yall would rethink what you class as "high fashion".

#'high fashion' and its just pompoms everywhere a total mishmash and mismatch of colours and awkward weird cuts and silhouettes ...... EW.#the theme is karl lagerfield was a snoozefest lmaooo.#meanwhile LOOK at eastern clothing man!!!!#YOU CANNOT GO WRONG. WE ARE ALWAYS DRESSED SO WELL.#whether its classic desi clothing like shalwaar kameez or ghagra choli or middle eastern/african kaftaans or abaayahs etc etc etc.#we just. DRESS so well.#every year i see the met gala craze and im just like??????? yall really pay attention?? to THIS??? DHCBSJCJD lol okay.#faiza talks

I have a question about darkness exists to make light truly count. How come the fanfic I locked to ao3 users only?

ah yeah, that was a recent change because there was evidence that popular AI bots were scanning writing share sites like A03 in order to get better at fake writing. i don’t want my writing, that i spend a lot of time and energy on, to be used by AI to spit out automated responses to prompts. so i locked all my A03 fics to be user only (hopefully preventing any bots from having access, though i’m sure that’s not 100% foolproof).

i’m not sure what the current situation is, i’ve heard the A03 legal team was aware of the problem and working on a solution but until i know for sure, i’d rather be safe than sorry. i do apologize for the inconvenience, i’m not happy about it either (traffic and comments on my A03 took a sharp dive as expected) but it’s gonna stay that way until i know for sure my writing won’t be stolen by AI. god help us if AI starts farming from tumblr (luckily our reputation isn’t that of a writing site).

#my writing #anyway if you don’t see a problem with AI ‘art’ then you’re not paying attention #and if you support AI ‘art’ then you should probably unfollow me #and dw anon ur question was totally valid it’s just that the answer is unfortunately pretty grim #cannot emphasize enough how much i hate that AI is stealing work from creatives when it could be doing so much good in the world #but if AI steals ‘real’ jobs (eyeroll) then we’d have to restructure our society around a universal income #ANYWAY. i’m done salting now LOL friendly reminder to commission artists and writers when u can #and always share how much you love their work. if you aren’t an artist or writer yourself it’s hard to understand how much it means to us
