yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

the way fandoms are desperate to make all aroace characters romance and sex favorable but then dont do anything remotely similar to any other identity is astounding. hmm i wonder why

PLEASE dont derail this about shipping characters of other identities please let this one post be about an aroace struggle

I've seen so many posts lately about how Grace wouldn't add swears to their translator but I 100% think he did.

He's not morally against swearing, he said holy fucking shit when he saw the Blip-A for the first time, the only reason he doesn't swear normally is because he trained himself out of it because he teaches middle schoolers. If I'm remembering right, he even calls one of the kids a smartass in his internal narration at one point. He's spent so long not swearing that he's not just going to fall out of the habit immediately.

We know that at some point, he learned Eridian swearing anyway because Rocky swears in the final chapter of the book. And I think he learned most of them when Rocky reamed him out after leaving the taumoeba collector out at room temp.

Plus, Rocky is an adult and Grace treats him like one, which includes adding swear words into their translator so that Rocky can express himself.

Happy Pride Month to Bart Allen. I can never decide what flavour of queer that kid is, but I know he is not cishet.

Sorry no consistent theme here we're blogging minute to minute second to second even. The situation is dynamic

Aroace Kon would go so far but the world isn't ready for that.

[radioactive-earthshine]

You know the world isn't ready when you get a hate message from a burner account/blank blog about the very concept

[radioactive-earthshine]

Happy Pride to all aspecs enduring relentless aphobia under the guise of homophobia accusations.

now, i do enjoy the "grace breaks his glasses and is despondent because it's his only pair" head canons because i love drama and misery, but also this is NASA. They sent him up there with like ten extra pairs because a) it's NASA and b) everyone fucking saw how Grace treated his glasses. The original redundancy plan probably called for like 5 pairs but then Stratt took one look at that and was "absolutely not, he's a fucking menace double that immediately"

[avoid-avoidance]

as soon as those spare pairs run out, gonna have to call this man Dotor aptain Ryland Grae because he won’t be able to fuckin C

"Discowing" was unironically Nightwing's best costume. I'm sorry but it's true. It was the only one that has a completely distinct identity of its own based solely in Dick's character and wasn't just trying to be Batman Lite. Dick was an aerialist, so he dresses like an aerialist. He's a performer and a showman, so he dresses like one. Is it silly looking? Yes, because it's a superhero costume. I don't know if you noticed but Batman has pointy ears and wears his underwear on the outside and he looks completely fucking ridiculous. Get onboard or get the hell outta comics.

[vintagerobin]

Both "Unlike the Titans the Justice League are more like coworkers than friends" and "all former Titans hate Batman (on Dick's behalf)" have one thing in common and that thing is being easily disproven by reading Justice League comics published before Flashpoint.

There's the dynamic between Roy and Bruce in "Batman Plus Arsenal" where Roy becomes increasingly frustrated with Bruce's emotionally distant behavior, to the point Roy starts accusing Bruce of being cold towards Dick and unfavourably contrasting him to Ollie. Then again this comes after the death of Ollie and both are mourning him, albeit differently.

[vintagerobin]

I think out of all of them Roy is the one who you could actually make a case for, but I also don't think an Arrowfam member laying into someone necessarily signifies hate - Ollie also did that with Bruce quite often, and still largely considered him a friend.

I'm less annoyed by that assertion than I am by the one that Wally of all people hates Bruce though, considering that Wally is the one person who fully stayed in Bruce's corner throughout Identity Crisis and then after Tower of Babel etc. I see the confrontation between them after Captain Boomerang killed Jack Drake used as evidence sometimes, but even disregarding the context of the situation Wally is not the type of person who would play along with being thrown against a wall and pinned by someone he didn't consider a good friend - in his own words, he let that happen, and then they actually talk and Bruce even turns to him for advice. You could argue that they don't like each other as much after Wally returns in Rebirth, but I think that would come down to Wally realizing Rebirth Bruce is a different person than the Bruce he knew in Post Crisis - at the very start of Rebirth Bruce is still the first person Wally looks for to try to pull him back.

...Like. In general I do think "hate" is a strong word for any of them once they're adults, but it's the very opposite of true for Wally in particular.

TEN in FIFTY years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mysteriousbeetle]

[ID: Text that reads: "In almost 50 years, DC has only had 10 Black ongoing series in its mainline continuity, with only 1 surpassing 50 issues, and not a single [title led by a] Black woman. They constantly blame sales, but they're playing a game with the deck stacked against us. This needs to stop," said James Portis III, also known as JPenumbra. /End ID.]
