I love Cassandra Wayne so much I love talking about her and I love hearing other people's thoughts about her if you ever have a Cass thought and you're like hmm I wish I had someone to share that with: hi hello I am here. Use anonymous asks if it makes you more comfortable but I am always here and ready to listen to Cass thoughts.

one of the funniest riverdale criticisms is “it got bad and cringey after season one” because a) it’s camp and you guys are just boring, but mainly b) these are all lines from the first episode. this show has always know what it’s about.

its actually very important 2 me that babs too says puns in the field. its not always "robin says bad pun, babs groans" its often "robin says bad pun, babs groans, babs says even worse pun"

Being a Helena Bertinelli fan is knowing deep down that she would be more popular if she was a man but getting annoyed every time its brought up because 9/10 times its used to attack Jason fans by people who would rather die than admit the same problem (traits that female characters demonstrate consistently in comics being assigned to male faves in fanon who don't actually demonstrate these traits canonically anywhere near as consistently) also applies to THEIR male faves. Bruce Dick Tim even Damian.

Potential nuclear take Bruce's belief that people can change and his concern for the poor? Far more inconsistent from run to run than Cass and Selina for both these traits. Fanon Dick? Stephs Batgirl run is the unknown superior blueprint. Yes fanon Jason and canon Helena are far more similar than canon Jason and his fanon version. Same for Tim and Babs, Cass and Damian. (specifically regarding their backstories. Fanon Damian talks about his childhood in a way that makes me go wow you people would love batgirl 2000 please leave the al ghuls alone) All these female characters do it better and with more depth and good writing.

Standard disclaimer that I'm discussing popular fanon I've seen in fics posts etc not saying that Every Single Fan acts like this. But that's kind of the point. Discussions that try to act like this is a Jason Fan specific issue irk me because its dismissing the wider misogyny prevalent in fandom and the actual core problem, which is that people would rather invent a whole new fanon character as long as its a man and wax poetic about how amazing and important and well written they are because of these traits, rather than read comics starring female characters who actually you know. Are all that in canon. And this isnt a problem because it means X fans are annoying. I mean it IS but like. The primary reason its bad is because what it says about the state of misogyny within the fandom. Not because They're Getting The Character Wrong. Its about why.

And ultimately? Its not just fanon. Its been bleeding into canon more and more since the New 52 (where they destroyed every single female character one way or another to try and fit the 4 fanon batboys into canon in a way that just. Did not work.) and its fascinating and horrifying to watch. Feedback loop of bigotry between dc comics and its fans.

Tldr "stealing" character traits is not a straightforward single process and using it to hate on a single character instead of analysing the bigger picture is really starting to grate on me. Ok Batman icon pfp saying Jason fans want him to be Helena. Name 5 Huntress comics you've read and 5 times she suffered worse than Jesus. Please. I'm not gatekeeping I just really want to talk about her so if you're bringing her up lets do that!

Cassandra has the appetite of a goddamn shonen protagonist and the table manners to match. She would crush this.

My little Cass cain animatic (FUN FACT: the camera effect at the start is a reference to David's tape of Cass' training. Probably pretty obvious but I want to point it out)

Birth of Diana

Nothing in the world will convince me that Diana being a bastard of Zeus is better than her being made from clay by Hippolyta
