The Top 3 Gotham-based Instagram accounts are:

Batman & Robins: that’s dedicated to spotting the Batfamily. It ironically has pics of everyone but Batman himself. It even has a couple of Superman and Catwoman. Mods regularly delete arguments in the comments trying to guess their identity.

The conspiracy theory that Bruce Wayne is dating Batman was born there.

Buttman Robin: dedicated to shots of Nightwing’s ass, and some of him in pin-up poses. Some wonder if he actually poses for the camera sometimes.

TheWayneFamily: a stan account acting like Bruce Wayne and all his kids and friends are the royal family, with updates on each one, theories and tabloid-level submitted stories theorizing about their lives. The most popular rumour is that Brucie is dating a reporter from Metropolis.

Batman & Co.:  Their RPF tag on IG and fanfiction websites. Tim and Dick have a lot of fanfic about them (both in their hero and civilian identities), depicting each as a confident, troubled rich badboy and all manners of OOC. They nearly rival the ones written about all the other Robins, Red Hood included. 

They’re frequently linked in Teen Titans secret group-chats. 

Batman is shipped with every member of the Justice League, several members of Gotham’s elite - the main crackship being with Bruce Wayne, dubbed Wayneman - and his own rogues gallery.

Bruce uses the Batcomputer to delete fics that include the Joker as a love interest to anyone, even self-inserts.

I don’t know what you’re all grumbling about. Yes, DC movies are very hit-or-miss but they still can boost or create a career!

This is a launch into the mainstream for Marwan, so no matter how Black Adam turns out, I’ll be over here supporting my boy like wooooh get that super-hero exposure and moneyyyyy

and isn’t Black Adam more in the Shazam-verse specifically? That was a good movie, come on!

Back off of Wonder Woman

Did James Cameron seriously try to come for Wonder Woman being beautiful and kind?

Then he had the nerve to say:

Just because Sarah Connor was a hardened woman who was turned cold by her circumstances and was a terrible mother doesn’t mean every single female hero needs to be that. Wonder Woman doesn’t need your fucking approval.

Stop invalidating beautiful women. Stop invalidating kind women. Women don’t have to be tortured, messy and violent to be strong or admirable or heroes.

I’m really tired of men trying to sound like big-time feminists by criticizing Wonder Woman’s costume, or any female character’s softness or beauty. You’re beyond missing the point.

You’re saying that female heroes can’t be taken seriously unless they’re as aggressive, messy, violent, unstable and ugly as the male ones.

And Diana’s costume is a Greek warrior’s armor. The men wore the same thing! Kilt, chestplate and all!

I hope all the people complaining about Diana’s costume complained about Brad Pitt’s in Troy :)))))

Patty replied though:

The same reason we talk about toxic masculinity is the same reason we needed Diana! Why need Elle Woods, Disney princesses and why we loved Sailor Moon, the Powerpuff Girls and the like.

Telling girls - and boys - that strength and toughness is being emotionally-stunted, cruel and brutal is unhealthy. Writing your usual grizzled, cranky, closed-off warrior man and making him a woman is not progress.

Diana is beautiful, Diana wears dresses, Diana is kind, Diana loves babies, children and women and men alike, Diana fell fast and hard for Steve Trevor and still pines for him. She can do all that while being adventurous, tough, well-trained in combat and ready to kick your ass to the moon and headbutt tanks.

Diana hates carnage unless it is necessary and will only run headfirst into it if it lowers the risk of even more death. That’s why she’s a hero. That was why her movie took place in World War One, arguably the most pointless was there ever was.

She was literally created with the theme of her character being love and truth. She will never be Sarah Connor, and we don’t want her to be!

Like, thank you for Terminator, and most importantly Terminator 2. But kindly fuck off.

Rec me your favourite songs

I’m making character playlists for my OCs and future fics and need new (or old) music

Recommend me your favourite songs and maybe even the character you associate it with!

DC Meets Marvel, Pt. 1

Rather than comparing and competing, here’s a nicer take on what would happen if the DC and Marvel heroes met their counterparts.

1. Superman and Cap meet on the balcony of Avengers Tower not long after the Battle of New York. Steve is overlooking the city, trying to visualize the way it looked the last time he was this high up, when something big and blue blurs into view.

Clark introduces himself, says that he’s a big fan and has all of the old Captain America comic books Jonathan Kent collected as a kid. Steve gets a bit weary until Clark asks, “How long did it take you to get used to your new body and powers? It took me years, especially the strength bit.”

Steve then replies, “I wish I could squeeze something and have it hurt my hand rather than break.”

Clark guarantees that he has it worse, because he’s invulnerable. Steve doubts that’s possible, he’s not the Hulk. Clark jokingly offers, “Why don’t you try throwing me like your shield and find out?”

Laughing, Steve asks impulsively asks to draw him. Clark agrees as long as he could get a picture holding of him the shield.

Steve asks why he sought him out and not any of the other Avengers. Clark admits because it’s mostly because Steve would be the only one who wouldn’t know him as the ‘Alien that destroyed Metropolis’. Steve says he doesn’t blame him, wars cause a lot more damage than they’re worth but the important thing is that you end them.

That’s when they finally introduce each other as Clark Kent, Midwestern farmboy and reporter, and Steve Rogers, Brooklyn art student and army captain. They change into civilian clothes and take a walk around the oldest parts of town, ones still almost as Steve had left them.

Settling in an old Italian diner with a great view of Stark Tower, Steve wearing Clark’s fake glasses and Clark in a baggy coat that hides his size, they talk like two regular guys.

Steve tells Clark funny war stories, about art school, about basically being the US Army’s dancing monkey, about Bucky and Peggy and how hideous the Red Skull was. Clark tells him about doing farm work without powers, finding out he was an alien, the Fortress of Solitude, about Pa Kent, about how he hadn’t felt pain until he fought the Kryptonians from the Phantom Zone.

Clark asks Steve to describe vividly what being sick feels like and how he felt after he took the serum. Steve describes the nearly lethal colds, how hard it was to breathe with asthma, coughing so hard his heart would rattle and his throat would dry out like it had been scratched and how right out of the Project Rebirth machine it was the first time he had taken a good deep breath.

Steve asks Clark to describe flying, super-strength and being in outer-space. Clark talks about how flying was originally jumping very high then free-falling, then how he began to center himself and soar, how light he feels. Clark tells him of the fear of snapping someone’s spine when he hugs them, being numb to most pain and the weather, and what Earth looks like from the atmosphere.

Later on, Clark picks Steve up and flies him high above the city.

Steve now spends every possible American holiday with Clark and Martha Kent.

Part 2: Tony & Bruce

I arrive in Gotham

Moon: full

Crime: here

Dick: Grayson

This epiphany woke me up because I just had to share it ---

Linda Park and Wally West’s ship name should be NewsFlash

Listen, people acting like the Girl in Supergirl is some kind of demeaning title and act like they’re being all progressive and feminist when they put down the title of Girl to hold up Woman when they’re being very backwards about it.

1) Turning 18 or 20 does not automatically make you a woman, despite being of age, you need time to grow into being an adult, you need an adjustment period especially after graduating college. 

The problem is girls are pressured to start being women the second they hit puberty and to be responsible, to be wife material and respectable ladies are never given the advantage of a smooth transition from Girl to Woman like men are for Boy to Man. Usually an adult male under 30 is still referred to as a BOY. We’re women from the age of 14. That shit needs to stop.

On average, women nowadays tend to use girls as an affectionate term or interchangeably with being Female. “I’m hanging with my girls.” “She’s my girl.” and “My girlfriend.” so adult women, as you can see, have no issue with being called girls.

Also, there is a different character called Superwoman just like there is Batgirl and Batwoman, but just because she’s aged up doesn’t mean she has to view being a girl as something beneath her and juvenile. 

Recently, I went to a conference primarily operated and attended BY women and I got several badges/buttons and bags that had FIGHT LIKE A GIRL written on them. I may no longer be a CHILD but I am a GIRL. They’re not the same. Stop acting like us being girls is somehow demeaning and infantilizing.

2) BTW, Tom Welling spent 10 seasons of Smallville as SUPERBOY. He became SuperMAN in the very last episode of the series. I don’t see any of you complaining about that.
