yk what i hate?

when comic artists adjust their art so their characters look similar/ alike to their live action adaptations. like black widow looks like scarlett johansson in some versions. and superman looking like whichever actor is has been casted as him. and yeah i know its not in all comics of that character, but the fact that it happens so movie-lovers pick up the comics to read just gets on my nerves. i dont wanna be staring at robert pattinson during a batman comic or an ezra miller as the flash look-a-like (which i never agreed with that casting choice)

i understand why they do it (for more traction mostly) but i kinda just want my movies/ tv shows and comics separate? the only exception ill accept is if the comics were made in the same continuity/ universe as the video media (e.g. young justice created comics in the art style of yj kinda filling in part inbetween episodes which was cool).

honestly i think the only character id be fine with seeing the actor as the character in comics is iron-man. i personally havent read much marvel comics (or at all) but if ironman looks similar to rdj i would enjoy it, cause hes iconic. rdj and ironman introduced the world of marvel (and dc) to mass media and society.

my personal headcanon for dick grayson coming from a bilingual person:

dick’s english is impeccable; he tried hard in school to learn new words, expand his vocabulary not only in english but also in romani (and any other languages he knows). however there are times where his speech and phrasing of sentences doesnt work or make sense. he’ll stutter over letters and let his ‘r’s turn into ‘w’s. he’ll forget how to pronounce everyday words, mixing around letters typically the consonants. his phrasing will seem weird and off by one or two words but will still make sense. he’ll pick up on it immediately and it infuriates him that he cant speak properly. there will be times where its been so important to be understood make dick feel like shit afterwards for just slipping and letting a ‘lisp’ through. its not a lisp or his accent though (he learned to concealed both years ago).

it’ll happen when hes not thinking about his words and how to enunciate them. it’ll happen when hes rambling and goes a little too fast he starts tripping on his words. itll happen when hes a little too tired. itll happen when he hasnt spoken in a while, his mouth unused in hours, days. itll happen when he speaks another language for too long. itll become obvious when these factors combine or he hits a word block and cant get past the pronunciation of it.

its not just english either, but romani too. words that seem easy for a native to pronounce sound like a foreigner. his sentences get jumbled up a mix of romani and english phrasing.

i dont apologise for the guy i will become when the superman movie comes out

the trailer has just made me more hyped. it looks genuinely like a good movie and thats ignoring dc’s shit movie streak

however excited i am to see this new wave of james gunn films, i am not excited for teen titans. like srsly who in their right mind would make damian leader of the tt. he canonically rage quit and it would make more sense to get dick grayson or tim drake as the leader. both have lead the teen titans and even though with different characters, its been the teen titans. despite me despising teen titans go, i gotta give it credit for introducing teen titans and giving us the dynamic of the beloved five we all know and love

and the only way i can think of that gunn can turn this around is doing smth similar to kami garcia and gabriel picolo’s current run and interpretation of the teen titans (which i will say is an interpretation and comic series i hold very dear and near to my heart). like dick and/or tim has to be there somehow/where whether its mother hen-ing in the background or being the clean-up crew for all of damians (and subsequently the titans) mistakes

this is very out of what i would normally post/ interact with on here but i see a lot of it on other media platforms im not as active on so i feel like its important to address.

biphobia is real and is worse than being homophobic. it makes it so much harder to come out when you like both genders because of the stigma that if you get into a relationship with one gender, people will invalidate your attraction to the other.

and i had this happen to me recently. for context im nonbinary (afab) and not out to my parents gender-wise. being bi does not affect my gender, liking men does not make me straight and liking women does not make me gay. its just how it is. and its the same for other bi people. however my mum made a comment that because im in a relationship with a guy it means i dont like girls… even though for at 5 years of my life i was openly a lesbian… and it hurt. it really fucking hurt because i thought that that wouldnt happen to me by my own family. and my family while say they arent homophobic or transphobic, say and act in ways that make homophobic and transphobic but at least they try around me about my sexuality to be understanding. and then i got a boyfriend who i love. and it kind of just threw the past several years of my sexuality out the window. i didnt even think i was bi until very end of last year and even then i was wrestling quite a lot with myself about because of the preconception that i had that i wouldnt like girls anymore and that my attraction to them would disappear and be dismissed.

its so hard because ive been openly queer for almost half my life about 7 or 8 years now and im still battling with being okay with who am i in a world that is increasingly becoming more hateful and hopeful.

i would not be as out to my parents if i originally thought i was bi… for the longest time i thought i was gay because i couldnt fathom the idea that i could allow myself to like the opposite gender without my feelings for the same gender being invalidated by not only me but everyone else. and i didnt realise how much it hurt until recently. we deserve sunshine ☀️

i want to have what Odysseus and Penelope had/ve.

and no not just the pure and unadulterated love and longing to each other but i want everything

i want to be able leave/ be left alone for an unknown amount of time, and the only thing i am certain of is neither of us would be disloyal (Odysseus with Circe and Calypso did not count as that was a necessity and for the most part non-con). i want to be able to know that my partner or i would go through hell and back, that nothing could keep us apart. i want to have either me or my partner prolonging societal expectations, creating and undoing work while the other is throwing a infant off the high walls of an 'enemy' city and saving my men from being swine permanently. when we first meet i want to us to be the only thing we have our eyes on, even though we're both there for family. i want to have a child that has the looks of their father yet the education and love of their mother, searching high a low for signs and information on a father they never met. i want there to be a bloodbath of others who wanted us while the other way. i want the thing that reunites us is what wood our bed is made of. i want our relationship to continue knowing each other did what we had to to survive, even if that means hundreds - thousands - blood our on our hands. i want us to be the backbone, the standard of relationshiops for centuries to come; a tale of a man trying to find his way home, back to his wife and child after fighting in a war, almost losing his life and wife multiple times.

I want the bad the good and the ugly only if it is them. it becomes Odysseus and Penelope

overwhelmed overstimulated it's 12:10 am and i want to go to bed but my (drunk/have been drinking) friends are in my kitchen eating instant ramen :/

and like they're being a bit clingy and I'm rlly not in the mood for that I just wanna go to bed and also we watched the first episode of attack on titan even tho i didn't want to cause i watched it (the episode) when i was like 14 and like permanently scarred myself by accidentally skipping straight to the gore scene instead of *past* it and had nightmares for months afterwards so yk wasn't keen but whatever i just dealt w it (did my internal and had music on)

like I love them but they're so loud and i don't want them to wake my family up bc my mum's gotta be up early tmrw and i personally am not the typa person to stay up past 12 (even reading fic I tend to go to bed around 12 or earlier if i can help it cause I'm not gonna screw up my sleep schedule that much)

and I have an English internal due tomorrow that I still have to do 1/4 of (film study sigh)

at least i have my cat
