Just a random thought but—if Tim Drake was a Disney princess, he’d 100% be Belle.

Think about it:

Booksmart to the extreme

Wants more than “this provincial life” (aka Gotham’s chaos)

Sees people for who they really are underneath the mask

Trades personal comfort to protect others (classic Tim move also such a omega move to but thats for another post.)

Literally befriends the grumpy monster with a heart (hi, Jason)

Doesn’t back down, even when it’s terrifying

He’s got that quiet resilience, the curiosity, the intellect, and the hidden steel core that screams Belle energy.

(Though let’s be real, Cinderella fits too: underestimated, doing all the work, emotionally neglected, still rises and becomes iconic.(and goes from rich neglectfull family to richer family))

superman and fantastic four were both great. i think i enjoyed superman a tad bit more, but i also think fantastic four might have more rewatch value for me.

me out loud: i think east of eden is a really interesting novel. I’ve been warned that its depictions of women are less than savoury because john steinbeck hated his wife so I would be wary of any misogynistic portrayals

all these superheroes in dc changing their names all the time, and i gotta know: how does the public keep up? is there a press release? or are they just fighting crime, all the while narrating loudly, "oh no, it's not arsenal anymore, i go by red arrow, red arrow's the one who's putting this criminal away" for the benefit of any passersby until the name catches on?

As long as you're on the Harley/Joker conversation train, it bugs me when I see takes that suggest Harley would never ever have been evil if it wasn't for her meeting Joker. And like, I'm not saying he didn't influence her when he clearly did, but to suggest she would always have been an exemplary, non evil person if only she hadn't met Joker just...I feel like it takes away her agency??? Yeah, Joker had an impact, but also Harley CHOSE to go with him and do crime.

YES EXACTLY!!! I will never understand why people are attached to this idea that Harley's actually an innocent angel who was brainwashed into doing crimes. Like if that's the interpretation you find compelling then...fine, I guess, but why? To me Harley's so much more interesting when you let her have her own dark side that existed before she ever met Joker.

I suspect part of it is...trying to avoid victim blaming, I guess? Like they think if you think that Harley already had violent tendencies, and that she was specifically drawn to the Joker because of that, then you're saying she deserved to be abused--because of she'd been a better person, she would've been repulsed by the Joker, and wouldn't have started a relationship with him. It's like people think that if she's an active participant in his violence against others, she must necessarily be an active participant in his violence against herself.

Which is. Well-meaning I guess but a really childish way of understanding both ethics and abuse.
