the funny part about the harry pics is that it's the same "harry walks around aimlessly" kind of pics, no source because I have not seen any UA add a source so where TF did they come from and same shady ass pixelated pics like the ones we used to get from holivia time...infact it may even be that same bridge ...also no time from when the pics actually are cause again no source lmao.... its like clockwork these days 😭😭

I just said to Kat and Kim “oh he’s definitely going to NYC then” lol. I’m 50/50 on if he’s already there but the fact they dropped these today when there is a chance he could be in Italy still and not tomorrow is so funny.

"But the writer’s intentions are obvious. We're supposed to understand that Billy is a bully who just enjoys hurting people. It’s not that deep".

Well I disagree with their take. What then? And actually it's not my responsibility to peek between the cracks of a narritive to figure out what the writers mere intentions for a character were - even if I often do and and enjoy doing so. Look if the writer has something definitive they want the audience to know or understand about the character it’s their responsibility to strongly convey that message. And I’m still free to disagree btw, and point out the flaws in their understanding of people that helped them decide these things about the character. And in that same vein, it is no viewers responsibility to hold a writer’s poorly conveyed intention for a character above their own authentic response to what was actually presented as well as the possibilities left unexplored. If we all did that a great deal of media would not exist, and fandom certainly could not. Art is a call and response medium. The artists intent informs, but it can not dictate the response of the audience.

So it’s kind of funny to me how selective some fans are about when they care about the writers intent. Cause I would argue that we the audience are meant to understand certain things about Steve, that have hilariously been rejected by the fandom as a whole. Pre Nancy we’re supposed to understand that Steve was a stereotypical 80s teen bully who just enjoyed hurting people, capable of any and all heinous acts (including the sexual assault of the heroine). We know this by the writers own admission. Obviously they decided to pivot from that more damning storyline in favor of a redemption arc, but that just left us with a lot of people merely talking about Steve’s past while relying on the audience to already be familiar with the stereotype for their imagination to do the rest of the work.

His past as a bully is not fleshed out in any great detail, leaving an open canvas for our imaginations. It’s a win for them. They have free space to fill in the blanks later if they feel like it, or they could just not. Because we get it right? We understood their intentions and that’s all that’s needed right? <<< this is sarcasm. You see that this is a sloppy and lazy way to build a character right? It also creates problems that you might otherwise avoid. When the narrative leaves too much blank space or relies too heavily on the audiences familiarity with tropes and references, they will inevitably create a character in their minds that isn’t the same one the writers might decide to develop later on.

In Season 5 the Duffers could introduce a character who says Steve bullied someone they loved into suicide and that is their villian origin story. And although it would be false to say that this is “out of character” for Steve and something he never would have done, you can bet your ass that if this was backstory they decided to develop for him that would be the major complaint in fandom. Fans would be seriously hurt and disappointed by this and it wouldn’t even necessarily be their fault. They were set up to fail.

But this proposed storyline wouldn’t truly be out of character at all, because it works with what they have told us at least once an episode for four seasons about Steve. He was a big bully, enough to justify why he apparently needs to be a whipping post every season and constantly be apologizing for his past. When this happens and he does this, we all understand that he is doing penance for all the bullying and assholery we can literally only imagine he must have done; but is it enough? Not for good writing, no. I know I am not alone in being tired of this and feeling like they either need to give me some major context that explains just what he did that was so awful or stop.

Not only are most of us tired of the “Steve is making up for the past” narrative rod, because the narrative never actually showed us Steve doing anything remotely deserving of this never ending arc of penance, the audience has already rejected the Duffers intentions for Steve Harrington and embraced the character nurtured by their own perception.I will repeat, Beloved, the audience failed to understand. In the minds of the audience Steve Harrington is everything BUT a bully. He's bae. A misunderstood loverboy just waiting to swoop in and be the perfect boyfriend to whichever character they relate to most. He’s daddy. He’s baby. He’s a fluffy cinnamon roll and a surrogate mother who never cusses where his littles can hear him, the leader of the local BLM chapter, and he’s here to tell you that it does in fact get better #Bi #Icon. 😂

His flaws are all justified by the imaginary abuse he must have suffered at the hands of parents that (at best) we can infer from the canon are neglectful. And don’t get me wrong neglect is in fact a form of child abuse and I don’t deny that. I’m just saying it’s not a lot to go on. They literally gave us nothing and used the excuse that his parents are distant to never have to think about them again. And people use that glaring sloppiness to white wash the straight forward narrative (however lazy and uninspired) that he was a raving 80s teen movie sterotype purely for the sake of being one and then he fell in love with a good girl and came to jesus. 😆 The fact that Steve is one of the few characters to actually display homophobia is lost in the annals of time for a lot of fandom, in favor of exploring explicit sexual attraction between him and insert male of choice Billy. Do not fucking @ me, you were there! You saw it. Joe Kerry did not give one flying fuck and neither do I. Love that for him honestly.

I enjoy rejecting the soggy pile of Character Oh’s - All your favorite tropes, same great taste! the Duffers like to serve up, in order to read between the lines and explore the unexplored as much as the next Steve fan. Love that for me! And unlike a lot of people I actually appreciate exploring the darker side of the character, but that’s just me. I’m Billy, out here wanting to see this King Steve I keep hearing about. 😂 Where is he at Duffers?!!!!

So coming back to the subject of Billy, I’m going to end this with ‘fuck off. I understood the writers intentions just fine.

Quite ironic seeing Max fans saying they don't like Logan because he's apparantly a Trumpie when their fave supports awful politicians too

#you gotta laugh #famous figures supporting awful people is bad until it's your fave #then it's crickets #f1 #formula one #us gp 2022

Also if had nickel for every time I found random religious items in the basement at work, I’d have two nickels

Batfam AU where Jason never dies, so Tim doesn't join the family the standard way. Instead, he continues pouring most of his time and energy into his photography, eventually becoming known as a popular photographer for events and all that. So now, picture this: Tim gets hired to be a photographer for a Wayne gala. Obviously, he's ecstatic, because he can take pictures of Batman, Robin and Nightwing and be in their presence for a whole night. Since Tim is so naturally talented in stealth and taking pictures unnoticed, the second one of the fam realises this they're like: this kid is good. Tim manages to go unnoticed by all 3 of them (all bat-trained, one literally batman) multiple times during the night, and even when he is noticed, he disappears before they can manage to get a good look at him; to the sheer amazement of Dick and Jason.

Jason, (very discreetly putting snacks in his suit pocket): i know you're under the table, kid.

Tim: don't mind me, Mr. Todd-Wayne, sir, just taking a few pictures

Jason: right... Jason's fine, and what pictures were you taking from under the table?!

Tim, showing him perfectly good shots of him: these.

Jason: how did you get that. it looks like you took it from the rafters

Tim, nodding: I did.

Jason, glancing at the ceiling: ...what?

Tim, gone:

Jason: no fucking way.

Dick, hearing a very, very faint camera shutter from behind him:

Dick, turning around and finding no one there: what the actual...

Dick, getting the feeling of being watched and whirling around to find Tim staring at him from across the room: ... huh.

Jason, pulling Dick aside: you see that kid too, right?!

Dick, nodding: the camera kid, yeah?

Jason: who is that.

Dick: he's one of the hired photographers, apparently. one of the best in his field, despite his age.

Jason: he's good. like, really good. snuck up on me 4 times already, the little bastard.

Dick: you too? i swear he's constantly watching. it's creepy how well he can sneak past both of us.

Jason:

Dick:

Jason: you don't think...

Dick: no. B would've told us.

Jason:

Dick:

Dick: did he get another kid and not tell us somehow

Bruce: what do you mean another kid?

Jason: you heard us. did you adopt another kid and not tell us?!

Bruce: no?? how would I even?? ... what's this about?

Dick: one of the photographers has managed to sneak up on both me and Jay multiple times already

Bruce: what.

Jason: he also can't be more than like. 15 or 16. so forgive us for assuming you took another one in.

Bruce: do you know his name?

Dick:

Jason:

Bruce: really?

Dick: in our defence, he's very hard to catch. i wouldn't be surprised if he's snuck up on you, too.

[camera shutter noise]

All of them, whipping their heads toward the sound only to find nothing but air:

Tim, smiling from the other side of the room:

Jason: do you see what we mean?!

Cue an entire night of shenanigans where it's just Dick, Jason and Bruce trying to catch Tim and learn about him. Upon finding out who he is and where he lives, Dick immediately asks to keep him as an honorary member of the family. Jason is hesitant at first but at some point Tim calls Bruce Batman instead of Mr. Wayne on accident and Jason laughs so hard he's basically won over. Bruce can do nothing but watch as Tim proceeds to come over almost every night for sleepovers and is coddled by both of his sons. And he can't deny, the kid's investigation and stealth skills are top tier. By the time Dick and Jason both start referring to Tim as 'their younger brother' Bruce has just accepted his fate.

#batfam #batman #dc comics #tim drake #bruce wayne #jason todd #dick grayson #batfam au #dick: look he's even got the dark hair and blue eyes #jason: he fits the pattern. you gotta #dick to tim: you are ours now #tim who just wanted to spend time with his heroes: oh #they declare him as theirs so he is theirs #bruce does not get a choice #he is THEIR little stalker #when jason finds out that tim follows them as vigilantes too he falls over laughing #dick wiping a tear away: he's perfect
