did you know that theres a comic panel that implies jason todd and harvey dent get starbucks

I've been rewatching fullmetal alchemist brotherhood again

i just got home from seeing birds of prey and i’m just so ANGRY ok like every time i see a movie/tv show written/directed by women, starring women, made for women, i leave the theater feeling so HYPE and SEEN and like i can do ANYTHING and the way women love MATTERS, like hustlers and little women and the witcher made me want to eat the world RAW, and i just feel so much RAGE because this is how men get to feel ALL THE TIME about NEARLY EVERYTHING EVER MADE and they don’t even REALIZE it, they have no idea the world could or should be ANY DIFFERENT no wonder men can be such entitled MONSTERS they think everything is FOR THEM because it IS

and ANOTHER thing!!

i saw both birds of prey and the witcher with my bff, who is a straight cis man, and in both cases he enjoyed them because i enjoyed them so much, and god bless him for that, but when i asked him what HE thought of them, he said he didn’t particularly like them. and we had a long discussion about how the plot comes secondary to the characters “so it’s like the story doesn’t even matter” he said. and i told him, do you know that’s how most fanfic is too? and character-driven stories where the plot and stakes are less important than the growth of the protagonist are often the kinds of stories women are drawn to??

and i asked him, who is the audience? he didn’t know. i asked, do you think this is a story made for you? and he said, i guess not. (i should pause here and say we have these kinds of discussions a lot; i’m not like baselessly interrogating him. he made it clear he wanted to be having this conversation.) and then i said, if it’s not made for you, how can you enjoy it? he said he didn’t know.

and then i told him this is what it’s like to be a woman watching media made by men, that “ehh, it was alright but it obviously wasn’t for me” feeling he had while watching birds of prey and the witcher is threaded through every second of our lives. and so we’ve had to develop the tools to find ourselves in stories, to empathize with people who aren’t like us. this is true for queer people, people of color, and disabled people too. 

i told my bff he would like these things if he watched them through a woman’s mind. he said he didn’t know how to do that. and i told him that i have to watch everything to a man’s mind all the time. i know how to see through a man’s eyes in order to enjoy stories that are by and for men, but men have never been tasked with seeing something through a woman’s eyes in order to make it for them.

i’m just so mad about the life i’ve been denied, the person i might have been if i’d been surrounded by stories for whom i was the audience.

if i was the joker id just get a restraining order on batman and superman whataere they gonna do? break the law? then theyre no better than me, a cold blooded murderer. and this would 100% work, because superheroe movies have the shittiest takes on ethics since fucking kant

Hey yall, I can’t stop thinking about the “The Mechanisms was Jon’s college band” AU so here’s a Mechanisms Jon because I can’t control myself. 

The fact that Julius Caesar burst into tears after reading about Alexander the Great because they were the same age but he could never live up to Alexander is one of the greatest things I’ve learnt as a classics student

and Alexander himself got upset over the fact that he would never live up to Achilles- he paid his respects at Achilles and Patroclus’ tomb, and kept a copy of the Iliad under his pillow. History is nothing but a long, long list of maudlin queers fearing that they’ll fail to live up to the maudlin queers who came before them. 

Lesson of the post: become your own maudlin queer and wreck as much shit as possible

every aquarist ever be like

😭where did y'all even find this I’m dead

It’s in the Super Dictionary, a flawless piece of literature that has such other wonderful situations such as cake theft…

shoe-stealing whales…

Green Lantern and Green Arrow fleeing an angry mob (also a duck is involved)…

and “please help me.”

One of my greatest regrets is not owning this book. 

Some more highlights from the Super Dictionary: Superman is friends with a giant who has no teaspoons.

Green Lantern looks at animals.

Joker and Batman are dating.

Robin gets tied up a lot.

Robin in general has a very bad time.

Supergirl’s text says “afraid” but her eyes say something else entirely.

Superman invites literally everybody he knows to come and watch Lois Lane sleeping.

Lesbians. 

Superman gets trapped in a bubble. Not a kryptonite bubble, just a regular soap bubble.

And Green Arrow plans to murder a child.

I could post dozens more of the strange situations (like Atom going on a date with a bee, Green Lantern LOSING HIS SHIT over a child trying to pick his flowers, some strange fetishy stuff with giants, Batman refusing to get down off the table, Wonder Woman’s continuous battles against pterodactyls, and Supergirl’s forays into paleontology), but that’d take forever and this post is already pretty long. The Super Dictionary is a wonderful acid trip of a book and I have never regretted purchasing my copy. If you’d like to see some scans, there’s more of them here!

The only proof you need that Peter Parker is bi:

also in homecoming when he meets the thieves in avengers masks he tells the thor one “i thought you’d be more handsome in person” and does impressions of thor in the mirror. everyone talks about tony being peters hero and idol but his fanboy crush is totally thor

stolen this from twitter but it was too good not to share

it’s a classic jedi move
