*cares aggressively*

it goes against so much of what i stand for to share "palestinians are humans, they have hobbies, they have pets, they laugh and cry" kind of posts because i've spent so much of my life and career completely rejecting the notion that we should humanize ourselves, that we should ever be defensive, that we should entertain this racism at all

but it breaks my heart when i have to share them from people in gaza, who are using their five minutes of internet connection, their 25% of battery charge collected from a macguyvered car battery, emotionally exhausted, thirsty and hungry, sleeping in schools that have turned into refugee shelters and still making the time to say "please, i am human too, i am still alive, please fight for me" in english to appeal to the only people who have the power to help

i shared a tweet from a jjk artist in gaza i follow about a bts photocard being found in the middle of the rubble. even the love of anime and kpop and sports is no longer just a hobby, but an appeal to humanity. what was once a source of joy is now proof of life.

the worst part is that you won't find this content in arabic. palestinians don't post like this in arabic. but when they translate themselves, they recognize that they must humanize themselves first. it's an unspoken understanding of dehumanization, one that has dictated a whole region's understanding of the value of human life. in arabic they speak with dignity, with anger, with sorrow. in english, they appeal for their existence.

i share these posts not just because we have to reach everyone we can, because im being asked to and i will not refuse. but i also share them because they're evidence of how deep the racism has run. at what dehumanization leads to. of war crime after war crime. this too i will not forget.

Bruce Wayne doesn’t swear. The man raises so many kids and is trying to set some sort of example, and still lives with his very polite butler guardian who would most certainly scold him every time he swore in front of the children. He also doesn’t use substitutes cause that’s too goofy, every time Bruce wants to swear he instead just stares intensely into the middle distance

The kids on the other hand make up for this and then some.

#i adore the implication the reason bruce is so silent and brooding and intimidating partly is because he’s holding back swears #it really shaped his batman persona becuase surely he has a lot to say about what hes seeing but hes in fact too civil to do so #it ends up as silent but effective intimidation

Alternative:

When Dick was Robin, he used so many ridiculous substitutes that they crept into Bruce’s vocabulary. This was just barely tolerable when Batman had a tiny Robin beside him to be delighted by, and add to, any silly thing Batman said. As Bruce Wayne, he had to stop entirely, so the connection between the identities wasn’t obvious.

Now, Dick is 25. He still uses some ridiculous language, but he rarely patrols with Batman anymore. Batman has NO EXCUSE for saying, “Holy guacamole.” It would be embarrassing. To protect his pride, he must refrain from swearing, lest some childish phrase slip out.

Batman is glaring intensely into the middle distance because he just thought, “You bet your sweet patootie, big mama,” and it is vital that no one ever knows this.

Is this it? Is this the Missing Link? Have we achieved a Unified Theory of Batman that accurately accounts for all observations, both the corny ‘66 TV show and the subsequent stony live-action and animated brooding?

It was swearing, the whole time…..? Amazing.
