unpopular opinion probably but what i’ve seen so far i think this batman world in the DCEU is going to be the best batman world and that ben affleck is going to be the best batman or at least the best “bruce wayne”.
i felt like nolan films didn’t really care about fans, as long as batman was “real” and marketable to a majority, it was okay to strip the batman world down to it’s bare basics. they completely removed batman’s support system, the batfam - even alfred wasn’t the helping hand he usually is in the comics - taking away costumes and drastically altering origin stories so they came off less “comic-booky” (scarecrow’s costume was completely gone, nolan even wanted to get rid of the mask) and creating a love interest that never existed in the comics purely so bruce could have more man-pain later in the films. there was no emphasis on the importance on carrying on the family legacy.
even the tim burton movies (which i love) were very detached from the comics (burton never read them) and the arkham games (which i have an extreme love-hate relationship with) had elements of this kind of stuff in it. now i’m seeing BvS and suicide squad and yes, while they are trying to do the whole, “realism” thing it’s not as over-the-top as the other movies have been. gotham city feels like gotham city, not just chicago with wayne tower stuck in the background. there are parts in both trailers that look ripped directly from the comic books. for once, batman (and the DCEU as a whole) are embracing their roots instead of being embarrassed by them which i LOVE
I honestly think it’s ridiculous that DC has yet to declare so much as 1 human Green Lantern pansexual. Like, are you honestly trying to tell me that these men who spend a majority of their time on foreign planets, interacting with species who most likely do not fall within the gender binary, NEVER EVER experience attraction towards ANY of these people?
People keep posting ‘what’s REALLY in your food’ articles like I’m gonna stop eating whatever it’s about lmao Listen, death is coming. Death is coming. Pass me a hot dog.
my entire dash and timeline is like “LEO WON THE MEME IS DEAD” except all youve done is created a new meme. memes cannot be created nor destroyed. they just transform from one form to another.
the best thing about dogs is you can act like something really good just happened and they’ll instantly start celebrating too and they have no idea what the context is they’re just always ready to party no matter what
Misa, stop, listen to me, whoever said you stole you blog idea? FUCK THEM, there's a million Harley/Joker blogs on the Internet, who gives a fuck? Whoever's telling you you're art isn't good enough? FUCK THEM, your art is FUCKING GREAT & you are talented as all hell, I could never come close to your skill and neither could the hateful, jealous pricks. Never, EVER feel ashamed of your art, of what makes you happy, you have your whole life to reach whatever level you desire, I have faith in you.
Thank you, you sweet baby angel. This literally made my day. I’ll try to be more confident about my art.
How about a shout out to the people who have “ugly” symptoms like obsessing over others, having fits of rage, idolizing people, debating their validity constantly, crying over the tiniest things, depending on others for validation. Shout out to the people who are so frustrated with not being able to control their own mind. You guys rock. I understand that feeling and I’m here for you.
it isn’t said on tv. orange is the new black, for example, features a bisexual protagonist who points out the biphobia at one point in assuming she can’t be attracted to multiple genders, but no one Ever says the word and she is ignored and referred to as a straight girl or a lesbian depending on the situation
other bisexual characters later turn out to have been Really Monosexual All Along. or are attractive, promiscuous women with commitment issues
this isn’t a coincidence.
people who are attracted to multiple genders, when asked about it, often describe themselves as “Fluid”. “I’d rather not label it.” “I don’t need to define it.” “It’s just whatever.” as if people are afraid of even implying the b word (EDIT: PLEASE READ CLARIFICATION HERE i did not mean to imply fluid is a bad term on its own. it really isn’t. not wanting to label yourself isn’t a bad thing either.)
this isn’t a coincidence.
the word ‘bisexual’ gets you different reactions in different places. straight people think you’re either faking for attention or a deviant. straight men are afraid of bi men and think bi women are just particularly promiscuous straight girls who want to have threesomes with them
gay men accuse bi men of being in the closet. lesbians accuse bi women of being straight girls going through a phase. and the ones who don’t do either of these things still often assume bisexuals are promiscuous, indecisive, and can’t settle down.
the theme throughout is that bisexually is illegitimate, deceptive, and always a front for something else.
this isn’t a coincidence
people are constantly encouraged to ‘settle down’, to ‘just pick one’, to ‘not be greedy’. abandon bisexuality. you’re really gay. you’re really straight. you’re too young. how can you know you’re bisexual at 16? 18? 20? 25?
this isn’t a coincidence
the word ‘bisexuality’ is constantly, persistently manipulated, by people who aren’t bisexual at all. the meaning twisted on shallow rationale. accused of being transphobic, or of being exclusionary. this has been happening for over 20 years now despite the existence of outspoken trans and/or non-binary bisexuals. whatever they can do to make you not say the word. pick a different one.
this isn’t a coincidence
bisexual people - whether implied or literally, deliberately saying they are bisexual using the word - are constantly rewritten as gay or as straight. gay icon. he was never interested in men. bi actor comes out? headlines say 'came out as gay’, or articles outright ignore it
it’s never, ever a coincidence. bi erasure is a constant, ongoing thing.
if leo deserves the oscar because the “role was difficult!” then rosamund pike should have won for gone girl because getting mauled by a bear and dying is not nearly as difficult as having to look at and pretend to be in love with a guy for two and a half hours whose face looks like someone started erasing a picture of christian bale but stopped halfway through
