growing up as a cis girl the patriarchy told me “you’re a girl because of the way you were born, there is nothing you can do about this, you have no say in your gender” and i hated being a girl because it wasn’t my choice it was a prison and the trans community told me “you’re a girl because you say so, your view of yourself is the most important thing, if you change your mind that would be ok” and it made me proud to be a girl and feel empowered in my gender and i wasn’t trapped anymore and then terfs come along and tell me “you’re a girl because of the way you were born, there is nothing you can do about this, you have no say in your gender (but like in a woke way)” and they somehow expect me to be on their side?

God, I live for any story where Bruce realizes he's taught Dick he either a) matters less than him or b) matters less than literally everyone on earth... Like, you see it sometimes in the comics, Batman reacting to Dick's iron-strong belief in sacrificing himself. And it is always a mix of anger, terror, or guilt. Like, Dick will pull some shit that is incredible and saves people but requires him to really not give a shit if he dies or not, and Bruce will be screaming at him to stop, going 'this is me, I did this'. - @jackhawksmoor

I was looking at the old tumblr questions (#witcherat) and this came around.
(I remember in an interview when he said he couldn't lift Henry's sword, because he doesn't have the muscles 😏)
He can wield a sword indeed 😅

Do the other Batkids know that Dick became Robin because he wanted to murder Tony Zucco? Like, did anyone ever tell them that? Because I can’t imagine that Bruce would want his kids to think that Robin was born out of bloodlust because that would only encourage Jason and Damian. I’m just imagining their reactions when they find out that Robin was created with the intention of murder.

you do know that when jewish and romani people say “never forget” we mean “learn about the holocaust so you can recognize the warning signs of facism and genocide” not “repeatedly bring up the holocaust whenever anything bad happens and exploit our pain and trauma to make people care about your cause” and when we say “never again” we mean “take action to prevent any stage of genocide on any scale by any means, hold collaborators responsible and don’t be complicit” not “only care about genocide when it’s too late”, right? or did you think it was just a fun catchphrase?

do u ever like feel so absurdly reluctant to do things. like it ain’t even procrastination or laziness anymore u just physically and mentally can’t bring yourself to do anything. u really, really just wanna binge watch youtube until your mind numbs completely or lie on the floor and stare into the abyss. and it’s not like u don’t have “motivation” or anything or even that u don’t want to do it, it’s just. u can’t. idk how ppl just. Do Things. get up and go at it. i have to have an entire existential crisis and like, watch a goddamn motivational film or something first before i do the smallest thing. and it’s june for fuck’s sake.

Zuko hasn't had any socialization with kids his age until he joins the gaang, and fire nation royalty aren't really ones to make jokes, so uncle irohs jokes are really the only sense of humor zuko has been exposed to and he thinks that's just what "funny" is
My point is that zuko thinks that Sokka is hilarious

I learned in a Latin Studies class (with a chill white dude professor) that when the Europeans first saw Aztec cities they were stunned by the grid. The Aztecs had city planning and that there was no rational lay out to European cities at the time. No organization.
