in modern day it's very easy to look at batman and be like "WHAT was this guy doing. Insane choice. You do NOT have to fight crime this way" but then you learn literally anything about the US in 1900-1939 and you're like "oh a batman terrifying people would have actually for real improved the situation"

*taps mic* aroace and aroallo solidarity forever. though we are fighting different fights, we are collectively fighting against the true enemy: amatonormativity. amatonormativity - which is very bound up with compulsory (hetero)sexuality - ignores our wants and our consent in favour of what we’re taught we must do.

by ending amatonormativity we end the disrespect that comes from believing that feelings equal the amount of care and dignity you show people. shoutout to the loveless/heartless aros in the crowd!!! i respect and appreciate you so much!! // OP is a queerhyperplatonic aroace

Thought I'd unfollowed anyone who would reblog a post calling Israel a cancerous limb of the US without something at the bottom saying hey what the fuck but I guess some people just hold that inside or whatever.

"batman is a power fantasy of having a ton of money and being op" "batman is the fantasy that a rich person might actually do some good"

Batman is the fantasy that despite being bad at communicating and emotions, you still have a community, you have people who love you despite huge blow-out fights, and the skills you DO have can do good in the world

Thinking about modern day Wonder Woman being approached by an interviewer assuming the woman from woman island is in on the radfem order, and Diana is sometimes very into like, "oh yes, cycles of the moon :) I do actually feel a very strong bond with the women of the world yes very much" and the interviewer, excited that she's going to get a good voice clip of WW agreeing with her, starts prompting about the 'universal female experience,' and Diana is like oh I don't know what that is? And the interviewer is like, oh, well you know, like menstruation

And Diana is like, oh, hm, I don't do that :)?

Which is a bit surprising. Do other women on Themyscira menstruate? Diana knows some do but it's mostly something she hears people complain about with their laundry.

Does that mean she can't have children? Diana doesn't know and hasn't checked but always assumed if the desire for motherhood struck her she'd always just do it the usual way.

What's the usual way?

Clay baby and pray to Eileithyia.

What?

You make the clay baby and then if Eileithyia is feeling friendly to you, clay baby becomes a living baby

That's a very unique... way of having children. Was that how Diana was born?

Diana is like, well, sort of. Eileithyia didn't want to grant my mother a child and so she prayed to Zeus also to pressure her. Eileithyia holds the realm of childbirth but Zeus holds the realm of wheedling. So that's how my mother got me. But also, sometimes new people come out of the well.

Th-...

Yeah, the well :) According to myth, they're reincarnated humans. But those people show up fully grown, generally. That's mostly where the Amazons who menstruate come from.

...

So, yes, I do hold the way people connect to each other despite our differences very dear :)
