I very much know this is because Jessica Cruz's origin story was written by Geoff Johns in a shitty comic, but by God is there so much going on there. Like damn.
Like there's the really, genuinely compelling stuff, for example the presence of ring horror and loss of control w Jess and Power Ring/Volthoom + the implications of that (character wise, both before and after JL 50) which is just SO interesting (and angsty!) to me personally
But then there's also more plot holes than you can shake a stick at as well (where did Jess get her ring. Guys it just showed up who died where did she get it from GUYS-)
All interspersed between some of the worst character writing for other Justice League members in existence (Wondy fans you know what I mean) and crazy ass plots out there

Not reblogging it for reasons, but I really agree with that person on here who said people are reframing depression and generally feeling shit all the time as a good thing because of the horrors of Gaza. There are people on here heavily implying that you feeling bad and finding it more and more difficult to live with yourself is actually an appropriate response to war and genocide. In some way, it might be. But the thing is, where does that lead? Does it lead to decisive action in accordance to your values, or to nihilistic stewing and self isolation from your community?
The post went on to call it anti-recovery culture- I don't know if I would call it that, because I get why people don't like recovery culture, especially in relation to addiction, but mental illness also. I think that's something I'm not qualified to speak on. So I wouldn't call this anti-recovery culture. Instead I would call it pro-burnout in activism culture. Do you honestly think people who are the most productively working in their communities and participating in actions to help overseas are feeling like this? Or do you think they have learned to use self-accountability and community support to reign themselves in when they begin to burn out emotionally, and rest and recuperate their mind in order to come back stronger? Ask yourself, is that wrong of them to do, because they should be feeling bad, because after all that is the appropriate response....does it mean they don't care, because they don't spend all their time feeling shit? Or perhaps, the truth is, they do care, and are demonstrating it all the time, but they also understand that them feeling shit literally doesn't help anyone. Why can we not talk about or acknowledge this?

I know it's not canon at all - we're even told it's not the case in Masters - but I like to think Sycamore and Lysandre were childhood friends, along with Siebold, Malva, the Santalune sisters... 😍
i rly don't like that at all personally tbh, good on you if you do (like really!! if anything i'm glad there can be variety in how people want them to be/see them) but childhood friends are kind of boring to me i'd rather have them meet as adults 💔 even having them meet like e.g. in school later on in their late teens/twenties i don't rly like either honestly . i know it's a thing people commonly like tho!! it's just not my thing
i do headcanon lysandre n malva as being related tho so there is that

Personal rant thing below, advice welcome
Okay so a little bit about me, I am pretty certain I am on the autism spectrum (this will surprise very few people). I get self conscious bcuz I now that self diagnosing is not ideal, but I honestly have no idea of seeking a diagnosis would be beneficial to me at all and I know that there are still a lot of stigmas as well as tangible discriminatory practices that could accompany a diagnosis.
I could use some understanding (I think everyone could) but I don’t think that I need any accommodation. Most of my issues are social, with some overstimulation stuff, but I am an adult and there is very little in my life that I don’t have the option of just leaving if that gets bad. I can’t think of a benefit of a diagnosis aside from personal validation and perhaps a better explanation for why I can’t control my tone well or read the tone of others well. I think a lot of people assume without the explanation tbh.
I think I want the ability to say it, to name my experiences, and kind of earn my spot in a community that I already fall into, but it’s also something that could harm me, and for what? To stop people on the internet from giving me side eye??

hmm okay lets see. dancer comes to mind first but i also think you'd be a really good singer too!! also you're SPECIFICALLY the middle member in the group. not oldest not youngest youre just chillin and doing vlives and stuff on your own while the dorm is on fire behind you. your group has a lot of lore and after multiple comebacks fans are like WHATS GOING ONNNNN and you get in trouble for leaking the fact that no, your creative team DOESNT know what the plot line is, they're just winging it. however fans protect you and actually flock to you after that so it's nothing more than a slap on the wrist
send me any heart emoji and i'll tell you what you'd be like if you were an idol <3
