Batwoman being gay in Batman: Bad Blood
-ThinkĀ about this, Kate. Think about what you stand to lose. Youāre at the topĀ of your class. Youāre the brigade XO. Do you reallyĀ want to risk separation?Ā Do you really want to risk a discharge? -Sir, all Iāve ever wanted since my mother and sister were murdered is to serve. -Then it seems to me your choice is clear. You know what I need you to say. -A cadet shall not lie, cheat or steal, nor suffer others to do so.Ā Iām sorry, sir, I canāt.

listen, there is absolutely nothing that gets me going like mutual seemingly unrequited pining like? i live for both people losing their minds over the other person in bitter silence. savoring every single accidental brush of their fingers, elbows, thighs, every stray glance, memorizing every gesture or expression they catch while the other isnāt looking, all while being absolutely convinced that itās one-sided only to finally!! finally find out it wasnāt in a triumphant moment of bliss after years and years of delicious, soul-rending, torturous, heart-wrenching pining. i literally donāt care about the fact that this trope is predictable af and always plays out the same way i will still go wild over it every single time like theyāll be doing the same reveal scene i have seen a million times and iām still on the edge of my seat gasping āare they gonna kiss???ā
The thing about Tumblr that probably makes me saddest is the underlying assumption that women past a certain age (which seems to be about 25?) stop having any sort of outside interests beyond family/career/kids. Like, yāall are always so shocked that grown women have lives and can fangirl as hard as we did as teenagers.
It makes me sad not because it makes me feel old (although it does), but because these younger women are constricting their own livesāthey fully expect that this will happen to them someday. Yāall deserve better. Yāall deserve to EXPECT better.
And worse than that, the idea that thereās something WRONG with a grown woman who has other interests.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
One of the biggest things I realized growing up?Ā
It doesnāt happen.
You expect somehow you will change when you are finally An Adult ā¢. Youāll stop enjoying the things you enjoy now for something moreĀ āadultā orĀ āmatureā. Youāll FEEL like an adult and not like a child anymore. Youāll feel comfortable and secure and not scared and unsure and confused. You expect you will feel like you have your shit together.
But I can tell you that it doesnāt happen. Youāll still feel like theĀ āyouā you were at 15 or 17 or 19.Ā
You just have theseā¦things to deal with. Like rent. And insurance.Ā
You have a job either because a) you like it or b) it keeps the lights and internet on.Ā
Youāll look up from fangirling one day and realizeĀ āshit. I am twenty eight years old. Thatās almost 30!ā. Or maybe it will be that you look down at the small child clasped around your legs and realize āthat is my child. I have a child. A human being child.ā Or maybe it will be that you have to negotiate your budget around con tickets AND a mortgage payment.Ā
Growing up isnāt a thing that happens.Ā
Itās a realization that it doesnāt happen.Ā
Holy shit, yāall. There are some AMAZING responses to this post. Yes, everything alwayshometomarvel says. All that.
Feeling like I wasnāt āadultā enough fucked me up for years. I would cry at night and feel like a total piece of shit because I was married with a kid, and yet I still did ānot adultā thingsāI played MMOs, I cosplayed and went to conventions, I drew fan art and wrote fan fic. I kept waiting for the day that I would wake up and realize that what I really needed to be doing was the laundry, cleaning the house, making dinner every night, etc. Basically, be the āperfectā wife and mother.
And somewhere between then and now, I somehow managed to tell myselfā¦fuck it. I AM an adult. I go to work every day and pay the bills and help raise my son and take care of the house. I do legit adult things. AND I play MMOs, go to conventions, and participate in fandom. And THATāS OKAY. Iām 32 years old now and finally at peace with that part of myself. (Having a supportive husband and kid doesnāt hurt either!)

All of this is such truth. Believing these things about growing up, and especially about being over 25? Really made it hard for me when I turned 30.
I was literally suicidal on my 30th birthday. I spent the whole day in tears. I felt like I had died and my life was now worthless and small and never going to be hopeful or full of promise or fun again. I felt like killing myself on my birthday because I bought into this lie that somewhere after your mid-twenties, you diminish as a woman because the only thing that made you alive and shiny was your youth.
Iām 31 one and Iām done with that shit. Iām over it. I donāt care if you think Iām too old for something. If Iām an old lady in tumblr terms, then Iām past the legal age where Iām obligated to care what you think.Ā
So, Iām telling you girls out there right now who are in your teens and twenties, get rid of this idea of what older women areĀ āsupposedā to look like. Get rid of this idea thatĀ āsoccer momsā donāt play video games or that all women over 25 should be married and contemplating kids. Get rid of the idea that fanfic and fandom and fun things are forĀ ākidsā.
Mostly, get rid of this notion that the only thing really valuable about you is your youth. Youth is part of life, but itās not the most valuable or beautiful or exciting time of your life. I like my life at 30 about 1000% than I did at 15, 18, 20, even 25.Ā
Iām glad youāre still here.
