The enemy's parasociality vs our diva worship

[deadchannelradio]

not enough in comics or in fan spaces about how damian is going to be crack cocaine to all of the little protogoths in middle and high school. theyre going to be hanging off of him. they're going to be obsessed. think about it. hes catnip. hes not even goth but he kind of seems like a vampire. hes their boytoy wednesday addams. manic pixie dream boy. and nobody is talking about how it's kind of dick's worst nightmare.

[deadchannelradio]

i know these little baby goths i do. they're all trying to one up each other. damian has like 5 different peoples wisdom teeth and a bunch of necklaces that are just little vials of blood. talia is also shriveling a little because her beautiful little boy (who is borne of her, a well dressed woman, and her beloved, a well dressed man) had some sticky goth teenagers get their fingers into his closet and now he's wearing ankle length jean skirts. habibi i am glad you have clothes you enjoy but could they perhaps be silk or velvet or at least not demin?

[deadchannelradio]

hes a little brown edward cullen to them. they think hes maybe a vampire i'm being very serious about that. he's just a rich ESL student but they don't know that. "he's so mysterious" you are just twelve and he is not american. he's catnip. he's a quiet artist type and he was raised by Talia al Ghul. he's memorized Shakespeare. hes designed to trap goth people. hes not even goth. but like you look at him and youre like He could be goth. I could goth that. He could goth. they're fighting over him but also they're all just his friends he's been absorbed into the goths.

[deadchannelradio]

i think they make him do theatre. he's not interested at first (and he is not built to do anything contemporary.) but one day one of them is like begging him and he's like. "No Mariposa And You Should Cease Asking. Theatre Does Not Align With My Interests." and shes like okay well whatever I'm going to go learn swordfighting for Romeo and Juliet and damian is like. "Lead the way to the theatre." he's off book by day 2 and the teacher has to be like. very impressive but please pretend. everyone else is feeling bad. he gets to be hamlet in hamlet.

[deadchannelradio]

he ends up getting his little goth club into exercising regularly because half of them follow him everywhere and the other half follows the first half and then suddenly there's a goth army learning ballroom dance. Imagine walking into a high school dance class/club and there's like 10 goths clustered in a corner in full corpsepaint in leotards and little ballet shoes. this would be the best day of my life.

[deadchannelradio]

it keeps dick up at night. hes not ready to become a grandpa at 29. alfred tries to comfort him by showing him young posergoth bruce (who got ZERO pussy) and dick is like. alfred. thank you i will treasure this forever. but this is not a comfort. he's laying awake in bed at night like The only way this doesn't end with me being alfred in a talia and bruce situation is if jon kent swoops in and saves the day. which will then make me the alfred in a bruce and clark situation. my life is a nightmare.

[deadchannelradio]

the only thing keeping him from the worst case scenario (being the alfred in a bruce and khoa situation) is that jon snapped up the best friend slot so early that damian doesn't have the time or space to ever collect another best friend to become psychosexually obsessed with. dick is so acutely aware of this. more than once he has thanked jon to his face excruciatingly sincerely to his face for no reason. he's like Jon. Thank you. I genuinely cannot thank you enough. and jons like. i just got you some water but youre welcome. jon thinks he is so weird but like well. people have been weirder so it's probably fine

[deadchannelradio]

and bruce is no help. Dick is like barging into his office to be like "Damian is dating a new girl at school" and bruce is like Please don't talk to me about this dick my head already hurts. and dick is like "you need to be informed about the social life of Your child. She's given him a vial of her blood on a necklace." bruce voice richard PLEASE.

[plant-based-person]

had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”

[plant-based-person]

what the people want, the people get

you see

my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.

evidence as explained:

victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world

his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression

he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest

henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces 

afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?

Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational 

the book does not otherwise have central female characters 

Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.

in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary  Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literature

Did I watch this several times?

Yes.

Did I giggle every time?

Also yes.

[sensicalabsurdities]

This is a masterpiece. I don’t think you need to have even read or watched Pride and Prejudice to appreciate this, though of course if you actually know Pride and Prejudice this goes from funny to hysterical.

[pluto-officially]

You're failing.

[cyber-corp]

You don’t think I know that, God of Death? Can I pray to you so I can DIE ALREADY

[communist-mannyfesto]

Pluto is Roman, not Greek

[cyber-corp]

?????

[enigma-system03]

Short version is that Pluto is a later name for the god of death, which is often associated with the Roman era/Roman mythology. Hades is the earlier name.

I made this post thinking I knew what kind of fire I was playing with. Hephaestus, God of Fire, looking upon me from his fuck off tower or whatever said “Oh you think you know? Check this shit” and promptly set my post ablaze for everyone to observe

Hephaestus doesn't have a tower, he lived in a volcano
