watched supergirl and it retroactively makes superman's backstory so funny

jor-el: we have to send our son away so that he can survive the explosion of krypton's core. he will land on another planet and we will be separated from our beloved child forever and we will die. but there is no other choice.

zor-el: hey i finished that forcefield i told you i was working on. you can all live together on argo.

jor-el: we have no choice. he has to become a dictator and populate the earth with kryptonians

zor-el: We. Have. A. Forcefield.

jor-el: goodbye, my magical earth dictator baby. i wish there was another way.

zor-el: so do you not hear me or-

jor-el: WE HAVE NO CHOICE. DICTATOR BABY.

You know that thing would eat you if you died, right? *pointing to the false image of you that others perceive*

my fav thing about algorithms and me joining a new fandom is all my social medias syncing up cuz i’m just that predictable and i find like all the same fan artists accounts on each different social media app within like 4 days of eachother and i get re excited about their art (or writing)

Guys if you want queer shit written by queers on our own terms you're going to have to start seeking out weird independent media. I'm sorry that's the only place you can regularly find it idk what to tell you, we can't keep acting like there's nothing if we're not getting blockbusters and triple A titles or whatever it is we're waiting around for. The thing you keep saying you want is already being offered for free by one person making a passion project on the internet and you would both benefit enormously if you interacted with it instead of lamenting that the only options we have for representation are pandering afterthoughts from corporate shit

[fandomsandfeminism]

I say this with so, so much care: Real queer shit written by real queers can and will sometimes make you uncomfortable. That's one of the defining features of weird, independent queer media. And weird independent media more broadly. Art that comes from true individual passion and authenticity has edges and bite to it that mass market corporate products intentionally do not. Has a rawness that can offend.

You are allowed to feel uncomfortable about it. But don't ask for queers to self censor for your comfort.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

So you know.

The silent conversation between Tommy's brothers when he announces that he's dating Carol because like, what the fuck. They already agreed to accept his gay ass just for him to date a girl? They workshopped what to say when he admits he's in love with Steve for nothing??
