we need to bring back old school tumblr communication and im so serious. sending an ask to a mutual just to say hello. seeing three different asks in your inbox all asking how your dentist appointment went. seeing a post you think one of your mutuals would enjoy and tagging them/sending it to them in the dms. nowadays its just silently liking a post or (if youre feeling extreme) replying under posts. WHAT HAPPENED TO US!! we used to be a proper community!!!! #LetsBringWhimsyBack

in order to truly get rid of misogyny in fandoms we need to treat girl characters the same way we treat guy characters. Say you’d hit her with your car. Say you want to see her crying and trying and failing to keep her emotions hidden. Say you want her to get worse. Say you want to chew on her like a squeaky toy. For feminism
NikoGPT! Drawing Damian in my wardrobe and need opinions on some hcs
Damian wouldnt like skirts that much. Theyre very unpractical, and feel exposing. At most, he'd only wear ankle length or calf length skirts.
Damian lives off of on black sleeves. He was proud of them when he was younger but as he grew older he grew to dislike them :C
Damian kept his hair gelled up (atrocious superons style) (it was a horrible phase) but Talia convinced him out of it. (Dont tell her that it was Jon who caught him at the beach with his hair down and complimented his hair)
Damian doesn't like jingling jewellery much. They move around and they're itchy and eughhhhhh
He prefers wearing jewllery like rings or maybe a tight fit bracelet or two (gifted by Cass and Steph).
The only 'necklace' type of accesory he wore was a choker. A black choker. Dick and Jason spotted it and Jason teased Dick (?) about smth Dami didnt really understand but he never wore chokers again after seeing Dick's mortified expression.

I AM HERE YES NIKOGPT TO THE RESCUE
absolutely, while I do think the idea of damian being in a skirt is actually hilarious (and I love the idea of him being snow white or princess Aurora, but that's for another time‼) in actuality I feel like he would REALLY dislike how exposed they make him feel. Especially, as you kindly mentioned, in practicality, since his legs are basically out there and could get hurt like ANY moment!! You could only make him wear skirts if you REALLY asked, (but all it takes is a "oh i like it!" From jon XD) and he'd only wear the lengths you mentioned!! Definitely peak!
2. When it comes to the black sleeves, I actually love this HC cause I have my own thing with it. (Get ready for some god tier waffling) okay so, my favorite and my biggest HC with damian that affects his character is the fact is part khaleeji, so he's from the gulf countries. And cause of this, men wear these traditional robes, which is the kandora (aka thobe in saudia or dishdasha in Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, etc.) And that's ALL they wear, right? Like, they only wear the kandora and that's it, they only ever change when they travel abroad, AND THATS THE MAJORITY!! SOME MEN STILL WEAR A KANDORA!! So, when damian was with Ra's, he'd wear the kandora. So, I like to think, when damian came to the US, and Gotham, with Bruce, now he wanted to fit in, like, DESPERATELY. Cause now there's no kandora, theres just types of fashion and styles—no specific cultural robe. So, you know how the trend back in 2020 was to be alt? Yeah, he saw that, and then wanted to be alt, he wanted to attract a crowd and be hip, so he'd buy black sleeves, or ANY piece of alt fashion to try to BECOME ALT😭 LIKE, HE WAS FULLY INVESTED IN BEING EMO OR ALT OR SOMETHING, LIKE HE NEEDS FRIENDS, RIGHT?? Now that's young damian, and old damian? HE STILL HAS THOSE SLEEVES FOR EVERY COMIC-CON OR ARTIST RALLY!! he might not wear them 24/7, and it does make him a little embarrassed to think about younger him's desperation to fit in with at least SOME crowd. But he STILL WEARS THEM AT ARTIST RALLYS AND DRESSES TO BE GRUNGE OR SOMETHING TO ATTRACT A CROWD OF ARTISTS OR ALTS😭😭 by far my favorite HC, APPROVED
3. Yes. Absolutely, yes. this also ties back to the khleej HC. so, everyone knows that goku is basically the lord and savior to any and all POC kids, right? Let me tell you, damian fell in LOVE with DBZ. it was his first anime and one he has an extremely unhealthy relationship with. And who is the love of his life (before jon)? Vegeta. No questions asked. Listen, this boy was OBSESSED with vegeta. One day, when he saw Ra's using hairgel, he was like "grandfather, what's that?" And Ra's gave him just a tad. But that's it. It left it's horrible mark. Ever since, damian began to buy, to hoard ungodly amounts of hair gel in the name of vegeta. If it wasn't for talia coming to check up on him every night he was going to shave his hairline in a V. That unhealthy love with hair gel is his bonita, it's his dead wife. Only jon broke him out of the curse (poor talia, oh how hard she tried!!) Peak HC 10/10 no notes.
4. YESSS RIGHT???? I'd like to think he donates a lot of his jewelry or pawns them off to tim, this man can ADORE jingly jewelry, but can never BE jingly jewelry. APPROVED!!
5. I'd like to think that Dami's most treasured bracelet, (apart from the one his sisters gave him) is the one Jon made him when they went on their first date together. And jon made SURE it was tight fitting‼‼ Steph and Cass both went shopping for MONTHS in advance for his birthday to customize him a tight fitting braclet that wouldn't bug him nor itch him. My lovely girls <33 APPROVED!!
6. I actually love this and damian wearing a cute choker was a silly one time thing, but I like to think jon LOVES it! Approved! :3
Overall approved 10/10 (I feel like knuckles doing the stamp thing, "APPROVED, APPROVED, hmm.. I dunno....excellent argument! APPROVED! no." LMAOOOOO)
THE 2ND ONE OMG (listen it wasnt me who told you this but most of these hcs are things i do on my own and only the sleeves thing was unrelated but i bought black sleeves for that exact reason IN 2020 and you just clocked it straight up and now im kind of terrified)
I forgot to mention in the 2nd but its cuz he has scars 💔💔💔 if ykyk
and im stealing the 3rd one, ok? Its mine now.
i hate when some hindu households use religion as an excuse to discriminate women based on their clothes or people in general's sexuality because in hinduism women's bodies are literally seen as sacred and divine, it never tells them to cover up anywhere. And in the scriptures there have been many religious figures with different sexual identities. literally the only rules are to not eat beef, be nice to cows, and not be evil. some of these parents who shame their kids for the way they express themselves in the name of religion are really the ones who aren't following hinduism's values themselves, not their children. Hinduism is a beautiful religion with wonderful non-restrictive values, society needs to stop making it out to be like that.
Got jumpscared by Loving Machine by TV Girl on some playlist named 'comforting rain vibes' (FUCKING LIES YOU BITCH) Mom came in and asked me with the most genuine concern if i was constipated based on the noises i was making 2/10 interaction
Ahh the good ole days when I was introduced to my first bl ship HAHAGSHS
On it boss!
☆ They have frequent arguments with each others hairstyles lol. Yuji keeps insisting that his hair is NATURALLY PINK. Megumi keeps insisting his hair is NATURALLY SPIKY. Their friends are fed up with it all.
☆ Yuji has a lot of those chubby kind of muscles. Megumi loves gnawing on his bicep like a feral dog. (Kuro judges him HARD)
☆ Everyone thinks that megumis the 'nonchalant' one among them. Yuji keeps telling them they're soo so wrong. Megumis the no. 1 yearner. They can't seem to comprehend that.
☆ Megumi has really cold hands. To tease Yuji, he often just shoves his hands under his shirt. Yujis extremely ticklish and sensitive to cold ahh corpse hands so he always let's out a loud squeak and ts soo cute.
☆ As revenge, Yuji chooses to give Megumi small kisses, coincidentally when Gojo is watching. hehe
☆ Yuji loves giving bear hugs to literally everyone. You'll actually feel like you're getting strangled by a bear, that's how intense his tackle-but-actuallya-hugs are. Megumi was thinner than Yuji, and got knocked back like a pathetic plastic chair whenever Yuji tackled him. As they grew older, and Megumi grew into the 'Toji genes', he got just as strong as Yuj.
☆ Yuji never noticed it until one day he tackled him and Megumi caught him easily, raising an unimpressed eyebrow at him.
☆ Yuji had to have a moment to himself for retrospection.

A not so brief account of my experience at the Delhi protest on the 20th of July:
CW: violence, police brutality
3 of my friends and I, all of us resident doctors in various disciplines, had made extremely last minute plans to get to the walk that was organised for the 20th. I thankfully have a friend who lives fairly close to Jantar Mantar, and we were able to leave our things at their place while we were at the protest. We had decided to leave our phones at their house-since all of us had been extremely critical of the current government online, as well as in correspondences to our friends and family-and one of my friends carried a burner phone, in order to record the protest.
We reached Jantar Mantar at around 2:00am, fearing that the police may stop people from entering the site later in the day (this was of course what happened), and we milled through the crowd, talking to some of the other protestors at the site. At some point, we realised that the police presence had increased significantly, and the rapid action forces, had also been deputised to "deal" with us. At this point, I honestly still wasn't feeling scared at all. We were surrounded by several like minded people, who were also opposed to the current ruling party. It genuinely felt like we could speak with ease, for the first time in 12 years. We then found out, that the cops had started welding the barricades together. I'll admit that this is when I felt genuine fear. The minute we heard about this happening, the people around me immediately started talking about Jallianwala Bagh. Jallianwala Bagh, for those who don't know about the massacre, was a peaceful site of protest, where a large group of Indians had gathered to protest, during the Indian fight for independence. General Dyer, had then ordered all exits to be sealed, and opened fire on the protestors. A lot of what India faces under this government, feels eerily familiar to what she faced under British colonial rule.
Eventually, some of the protestors were able to push over the barricades, and we were able to start trying to move towards the parliament. That's unfortunately, when the violence began. The cops and RAF, started very indiscriminately lathi charging the crowd. There was no violence from our side. The cops had even parked a truck full of massive rocks, right by the protest site, probably hoping that the protestors would make use of them. In the end, we only have videos of the police themselves, chucking the rocks to make it look like the protest had been violent. And even after getting beaten up, the only responses I saw from the protestors, were pleas to be allowed to continue the march. We saw a lot of young students, face police brutality for the first time, and have to quickly come to the understanding, that the cops were not there to help them.
My friends and I had primarily gone, because we knew the cops would attempt to attack the protestors, and we wanted to provide whatever little medical aid we could. We had reached the site with 6 bags of saline, and at least 50 rolls of gauze, among other supplies. We were completely out by the time we left at night. I saw a lot of scalp and head injuries-it seemed like the wonderful police had gone out of their way to aim at protestors heads. I also saw a concerning number of children who had been injured by them. I counted 6 cases of eardrum rupture, and more bruises and cuts than I could keep track of. It was while I was attending to one of the injured protestors, that I was hit with the lathi for the first time. They saw very clearly, that I was in my doctor's coat, stethoscope in my pocket, and was treating a patient. They still tried to physically assault me. It was my fellow protestors, who immediately came to my defense, and got in between the police and I. This was our reality at the time. The only people we could rely on, were each other. A friend of mine was almost carted off by the police, to be placed under unlawful detention. He, like all of our little group, was only treating the injuries of the protestors. It was only because of the protestors, once again, that he was able to escape from their hold, and disappear back into the crowd. My friend who carried his burner phone, had it snatched from his hand, stomped on, and was then asked who was paying him to be there. We were a fair distance away from the tear gas shells, so we didn't experience the effects of the expired canisters the cops threw at the protests who were closer to the parliament. I found out after reaching the airport, that it was the nearby gurudwara and mosque, who were sheltering the protestors, and treating the inflammation inflicted by the tear gas. The same people, the media like to call Khalistanis or Pakistanis, they were the people who stepped up to help the protestors who were getting gassed by the cops.
We did not make it to the parliament, it's true. The delhi police and the RAF, who had all conveniently "lost" their name tags, made sure of it. But honestly, I can't find any sort of disappointment in myself. For the past few years, I have felt so alone, wondering why the people simply accepted the harm this government has inflicted on our country and our communities. But I came to realise that I wasn't alone, and I never had been. There I was, surrounded by people of all ages, who wanted better for this country. And it filled me with a sense of patriotism, that I hadn't felt in so long. These were ordinary people, who had taken leave from their jobs and studies, and were here, right beside me, demanding a better India.
Today I returned to my hospital, and to the outside observer, things may seem to have not changed in the slightest. But something feels different. Maybe I'm being foolish, or overly optimistic. I returned with nothing much to show, but a slightly depleted bank account, and a large bruise on my shoulder, but yesterday felt like an awakening. The people who want to claim that the 20th was the death of democracy, are so incredibly mistaken, because this is just the beginning. Now and forever इंक़लाब ज़िन्दाबाद.
