I do not think Marvel's "what if" series asked the right questions. We could have had this

I see there's a really shitty poll going around and I'm not going to reblog it but I am going to repost the comment I made on it:

If you say that someone walking around an area known to be dangerous alone at night was assaulted because they were in that area alone at night despite its reputation, that's victim blaming.

If you say that someone reaching for something in their pocket was shot by the cop because they reached into their pocket that's victim blaming.

If someone was a member of a gang and they were killed in a gang fight and you said it's because they were in a gang in the first place, that's still victim blaming.

If you say the kid got themself killed because they were playing with a weapon and it accidentally discharged that's also still victim blaming.

The validity of a statement does not actually diminish the fact that it's victim blaming. The normalization of this kind of framing does not actually make it not what it is. A duck that everyone labels as a chicken is still a duck.

im so obsessed with the idea that kaz just reads everything for wylan, but in such a natural way that everyone forgets that it's because wylan can't read, and kaz kind of forgets that everyone else can read

kaz bringing in the newspaper saying 'look at this', slamming the paper down on the table for for everyone to see and announces the headline 'pekka rollins shits himself in the harbour'. it's just instinctual to read it out, even though everyone else at the table can read what it says

kaz going to restaurants with the crows and handing wylan a menu saying 'they've got that herb chicken you like'. then he scans it again and points to a couple of things that he also knows wylan likes, and it's so causal and conversational and wylan doesn't feel scrutinised, or as though he's being looked after

(kaz also starts point out things the others like before remembering that they can read the menu and then just stops talking)

kaz and wylan going to coffee shops and kaz goes 'what do you think you're gonna get' before they get there so that wylan doesn't panic inside the shop. and he doesn't leave room for wyan to ask him to read things out, because kaz knows he hates doing that. so they go and kaz just says 'you want syrup in your coffee? they've got vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut'

and it's just so easy and instinctual. it makes wylan feel normal, because being read to isnt a big part of what's going on. kaz just manages to easily slip it into conversation without thinking, as though he does it with everyone

(now imagine wylan isn't there and kaz begrudgingly gets waffles with another member of the dregs (he's getting soft) and immediately goes 'what sort of syrup do you like? because they've got apple, strawberry or chocolate, but it does say you can get a mix' and the dreg is like 'i know? the menu is right in front of me?' and kaz just kind of realises that he doesn't even think about doing it anymore)

(also imagine him getting a letter and some of the higher ranked dregs need to know about it, and instead of just giving them it to read, kaz starts just reading it out, and all of the other dregs are like 'isn't it easier is we just read it ourselves?' and kaz just pauses and wonders when he actually started hanging out with wylan so much that he's the only person he knows how to talk to)

Silver Swan Automaton… no motors, built in 1773 and still working perfectly. The Silver Swan is powered entirely by mainsprings and brass clockwork gears. Why did we stop creating such elegant engineering and beautiful pieces of art… timeless and built to last? Joseph Merlin also invented the roller skate 1760. To show them off, he skated into a fancy London ballroom while playing the violin. He sped out of control and crashed straight into a massive, mirror, destroying the violin and injuring himself.

Just got back from supergirl and just one of the many things I loved about it was the way Kara said this man needs to die so he can’t hurt anyone else but I can’t let you do it out of revenge. I can’t let that weigh on your heart for the rest of your life when it’s already so heavy. Idk I’m just insane for the idea of that being how she’s a hero—telling someone you don’t have to carry this weight on your shoulders you don’t have to have this blood on your hands I will do it for you. I will live with knowing I’ve done something terrible as long as it means you don’t have to.

I love how Ruthey really never fights someone the entire film. The sequence when their back to back isn’t them taking down baddies together, it’s Kara protecting her while Ruthey helps to stay alive and also lets Kara protect her. It’s physical protection and it goes beyond that. Kara says don’t let this weigh on your heart because you are still young, you don’t have to be like this. You’re not like me yet. My heart is very heavy. But I can take more. I am broken and I will keep breaking if it means sparing you. But I’m also going to try to heal myself, because I deserve a home too.

obsessed with how in supergirl 2026 the trope was changed from grumpy man finding and then begrudgingly adopting a teenage girl to a grumpy woman begrudgingly adopting a teenage girl

[willowwhirll]

I just love how Supergirl isn't really about the revenge or the dog or anything that goes on at all. Its about two grieving girls trying to keep going in diffrent ways and teaching each other how to survive with the weight of it all while also inspiring each other to be better people. Its about not letting your past overtake your future. Its about prioritizing yourself instead of being fuled by your trauma. Its about being good no matter what.
