Day 60

Daan Von Dutch… like Von Dutch by Charli XCX… brat reference… 💚

I should’ve made this when the Grammys actually happened but it’s ok I’m just a little late to the party

All he wants is to be loved 😭😭😭

Let him be loved dammit. Dc stop making him sad. He’s just a little guy who wants a farm and for his parents to be proud of him. Let him have this. Stop ruining his life.

Hey, in one of your posts, you mentioned that Tim Drake can be kind of sexist. I'm not disagreeing with you, but do you have some examples of this? I'm trying to read up on his character and differentiating fanon from canon characterizations can be difficult and you seem to know what you're talking about.

Perhaps instead of “sexist” what I meant to say is “has a history of disrespecting women”. I have some panels that serve as additional examples under the cut, but how he treats the girls he dates is far more telling. Because, and there’s no easy way to say this…

Tim was kind of a fuckboy?

Allow me to explain. For a start, when he was Robin, he dated a girl called Ariana. This is him making kitchen jokes to her.

But most importantly, he also kissed Stephanie while he was dating her. Not only did Steph have no idea Tim had a girlfriend and get immediately brushed off after this (class act), but he never actually confessed the event to Ariana either.

Which you think is something that he would do, considering how pissy he got when Ariana “cheated” on him.

You might be wondering why I put that in quotations. Well, the thing is that referring to what Ariana did as cheating is… well. Wrong.

Tim stood her up and the guy offered to go ice skating with her instead to cheer her up. If you ask me kissing another girl is a WAY bigger betrayal, but Tim didn’t give a fuck. Whether it’s something he did in the heat of the moment or not (wonder how many girls have heard that excuse), you’d think he would at least admit to kissing another girl while the truths were being made known.

Meanwhile the guilt of going skating together clearly tore Glenn and Ariana up, and they came clean (or tried to).

Oh, and then he kissed Stephanie again, immediately after a date with Ariana, who he couldn’t wait to leave for another girl.

Five minutes later:

I wonder if Steph would have been so agreeable if she’d known Tim had a girlfriend this whole time. But anyway, Tim then tried to break up with Ariana via a letter.

He’s then spared from having to take any responsibility because Ariana, rightfully so, breaks up with him. She then stays his friend because, again, Tim never confessed his physical or emotional betrayals.

Not that he did much better with Stephanie, who he’s treated badly for over a decade.

howley and aziraphil are here to save the world

answering a couple questions i got on this post since i realized ppl genuinely wanna know:

tl;dr:

israel lets very, very little aid get into gaza. even the UN can't get in as much as they want to. funding individual families, gazan led initiatives, and mutual aid collectives operating out of gaza ensures gazans can provide for themselves and pay for the extremely expensive aid that is available.

with all the civil infrastructure destroyed by israel, the situation on the ground has devolved into unrestricted capitalism, driving up the price of aid (that should be free!). this makes it more urgent for people to have funding for daily survival.

the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.

as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.

the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.

ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.

and the municipality of gaza itself is fundraising to rebuild water infrastructure.

all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!

long answers under the cut!

if you wanna donate to a charity that's absolutely fine, but the thing is most charities (and even the UN!) are unable to make it into gaza in the first place, leaving aid rotting at the egyptian side of the border or subject to israeli settler attacks

not to mention, charities and nonprofits also maintain a paternalistic colonial relationship with the indigenous people they are trying to help, determining what aid they need for them instead of returning power to them and letting them make their own choices

i'm not here to say that one option is better than the other, just that they achieve different things and are equally legitimate. there's an attitude among people who question the legitimacy of these gofundme campaigns that somehow the people promoting them are telling them not to donate to charities. nobody is stopping you from donating to charities. we are just asking that you do not dehumanize the very real gazans in your inbox just because their method of asking for aid is more direct and risky.

unfortunately that's exactly what has happened. because israel destroyed all of gaza's more formalized infrastructure, it seems that organized crime and rampant inflation has taken its place. aid is supposed to be free, but in order to save for evacuation or the cost of living, people have started selling them at an inflated price. and aid that is truly free attracts intense, large crowds that are dangerous to navigate.

this was posted on abc a few days ago

it's pure, unrestrained capitalism. i've had multiple palestinians describe this situation to me confidence. that's why everything's so expensive now. why people have to rent out tiny plots of land for their tents to sit on, why my friend @siraj2024 still has to buy tarps to cover the broken windows of the overpriced bombed out apartment he rented, and why a bag of flour can cost a thousand bucks in the north.

even before israel closed and then bombed the rafah crossing, the egyptian hala travel agency was only allowing people to cross the border if they paid a hefty $5000 USD per adult / $2500 USD per child bribe. it denies doing this, but the hundreds of stories from palestinians say otherwise.

with regard to the economy, here in america we saw something similar happen in the wake of hurricane helene and milton. the podcaster margaret killjoy describes how she saw dual economies rise after asheville was fully cut off from the rest of the country - some people offered each other supplies for free in a sort of mutual aid honor system, and some people required payment when they lent supplies because they themselves needed to buy stuff for their families. these dual economies exist in gaza too. and this means they all still need money to survive.

The fact that both of these movies came out the same year… his versatility <3

these comments have tipped me over the edge

I think more people need to play around with Damian's speech. Don't get me wrong, I love the antiquated Victorian child style of speech, but also he's a teenager that swears plenty in the comics. We really need more scenes like:

Damian: Father, I regret to inform you that I have been assigned in-school suspension for the next three days.

Bruce: What, why?!

Damian: My classmate Kevin was disparaging a female classmate for turning him down, so I called him 'a rizz-less, basic-ass neckbeard bitch' and said I was going to fuck his mom and give her a son she'd actually love.

Bruce: *is completely speechless*

Damian: That is all I needed to tell you. If you will excuse me, I have homework to complete before dinner and patrol.
