the lightning-speed ”try again.” you get after calling suguru bro
everyone on the internet loves to call connor bedard washed but if they removed their macklin glaze goggles or maybe their hands from dicks and subjected themselves to the unadulterated torture that is blackhawks hockey theyd realize that bedsy is actually in the worst position he could ever possibly be in and is continuously improving while actively being sabotaged by his coaching staff and useless teammates. just keep his name out of your mouth and focus on the real enemy: JOE BLASHILL.
hello I just found out they’re censoring my boy rudo and won’t let him flip people off in the anime like he does in the manga

Agree with all of this but especially the Parentification thing has always annoyed me! I never understood why people think mentoring Damian was parentification, Dick was a grown man way out of his teens?! Lowkey, because I see this in the anti fandom side a lot, think they want to write Dick being the other boys’ mommy so bad but can’t because that’s icky so they say “parentification” & “Eldest Daughter Syndrome”, half joking but there is at least some feminization going on.
(linked post) YEAH you get me!!! like? Dick is in his mid to late 20s, he is a *fully grown adult* who has the facilities to make the decision to be Batman and take in Damian. no one forced him to do that. it was his choice and even if he was strong-armed into it, it *still* wouldn't be parentification bc he was an adult. he was never a child taking care of other children and *that* is what parentification is. he's a grown-ass man there's no need to infantilize him or his relationships.
honestly, you're right about the feminization, i totally agree. because it's always weirded me out, this whole Eldest Daughter Syndrome thing? which is just a fancy, nicer way to say parentification. and the worst part is these concepts aren't even genderbending Dick, which i would be really interested in. they just want to assign him feminine aspects to further make him the victim that they can woobify and whump. if you feminize him, it's easier to put him in that submissive, victim role contrasted against Bruce or anyone else. and while i think gender roles can be interesting to play with in fanfic, esp in subversive ways, it has always picked me slightly that the fandom feels the need to feminize him in such a bold way where the only aspects of "feminity" he can experience are ones of subjugation. Bruce forcing him to parent and "mommy" the other Ribins like you said, Dick being isolated and only being appreciated as a caretaker, him never doing Any Wrong to other characters, and so on. when the fun of Dick is that he's nuanced and sometimes, he reflects some of Bruce's worst traits. his anger is not "female rage" it's *just* anger. (honestly, i'm not even sure what "female rage" is supposed to be anymore-) he's just someone with a complicated relationship with Bruce and yes, Bruce certainly failed him in certain aspects. but the thing is, the reason Bruce and Dick's fallout is *so* violent, is *because* they were so close. they had their golden years in Dick's youth where they ran as a well-oiled machine and everything was (relatively) perfect. Bruce definitely misstepped with Dick, but he far from victimized Dick.
it's always wild to me how the anti side of the family wants the Batfam to be Schrodinger's found family. in which is both completely wholesome and nuclear and everyone gets along and they have family meals together and they all live in Wayne Manor. but *also* it wants Dick to be a victim of parentification, Tim to be a victim of horrific abuse at the hands of his parents and then Damian and Jason, Jason to be deeply traumatized by his death and not coping well. like these don't click together? and it makes for a very jarring comparison when antis are so so clung to the idea that the Batfam is a nuclear happy family but also shoving these roles onto Dick that don't make sense. you can't have your cake and eat it too, yk.
also, not to fandom wank *too* hard but like. parentification is a *real* word. it's a real form of abuse and not something that exists in a fictional vacuum. and assigning it to characters that it outright doesn't fit can make it harder to discuss bc it dilutes the term. maybe it's bc i grew up in a home with rampant parentification so it hits close to home but like. this isn't just something you can slap onto a character to make an interesting-sounding meta anylsis. some fictional characters have been parentified and their stories explore that. Dick's does not. that is an adult. free him.
It's kinda crazy going to some places of the Internet and seeing people BASHING my boy Ryan butcher, like no him "messing up" butchers plans isn't his fault. In the show he's 12 at the oldest, and is expected to be a weapon against homelander, that would freak ANY kid out.
And not to mention my son (yes he is my son), is literally in an abusive environment. As much as I like to believe homelander is a good father, because there are some scenes where he is, he isn't. He is emotionally unstable, slightly jealous, tweaking out, practically every scene.
He micromanages Ryan, which eventually he apologizes for but nonetheless. He steals Ryan's spotlight,(jealous man..), and when Ryan's sad about killing someone he gets ANNOYED?? clearly he isn't good for Ryan bro..
And the amount of times he lashes out, and just cries because he isn't "enough" for his son?? He is desperate to be loved, but that isn't a burden that should be put on ryan. (Obviously most people know this, n no one's defending HL.)
But that's a rough environment for a kid, Ryan is NOT mentally okay. And even a mentally okay 12 y/o would react badly to what grace Mallory was sayin!!
Like he is 12, let's not act like he's supposed to be emotionally mature, especially not after living with homelander for over a year💀💀💀
Sometimes I hate this fandom bcuz fym ozai got a pure evil wiki page and vaatu don’t
