They’re insufferable I hate them so much
It feels like a lot of people have absorbed the idea that "Being mean is good!" without understanding why a lot of meanness exists and is in some ways encouraged in progressive spaces, and this leads to mean behavior being directed at intracommunity targets.
Being a mean gay is not about being shitty to your bisexual neighbor, it's about standing up to his shitty mom and telling him to get in your car, he doesn't have to stay under her roof.
Being a mean trans person isn't about being an asshole to people with neogenders, it's about being up in the face of people refusing to respect the pronouns of neogender people.
Being a mean disabled person isn't about dunking on people with "lesser" disabilities, it's about being utterly obstinate to abled people insistent that they can't possibly give accommodations for "just" that.
Being a mean marginalized person is something that you direct at people and systems directly and currently causing harm. Not at people you think have it easier than you. That is a lot harder to do. It's a lot of work. But if you're not willing to direct it at the right targets, then you are not just a dick, you are actively degrading solidarity and harming everyone in your community.

Okay I’ve said this a bunch in my tags and to some friends, but Dick Grayson’s temper is unironically my favorite thing about his character
You’re probably thinking “Lucy that’s insane why would you love the thing he’s most ashamed of???” and let me tell you my dear friends, it’s because bad anger issues is the PERFECT foil to all of Dick’s positive traits
Dick is very outwardly perfect. He’s kind and polite to everyone he meets, he very easy going and laid back, he’s funny and insanely charming, he’s handsome and can basically befriend any one. So him having a really bad temper clashes HARD with the rest of his character traits
Dick can jump from 0 to 100 real quick when he’s angry, and his anger problems were always something he struggled to over come and had a lot of different ways to keep himself grounded so he didn’t snap at people
Most of the time it was pacing, doing gymnastic moves, removing himself from the situation if he knew he couldn’t handle it without blowing up
He’s also broken a lot of thing. The panel of him braking his car radio lives in my mind rent free.
Dick as always been an explosive character, so it would make sense that his flaws would also be explosive! The intensity of his rage always matched the intensity of the other ways he expressed himself, and think when they stopped making it so prevalent in his character he became a lot blander.
So basically what I’m saying is; DC give Dick his feral rage back!!! He’s not the same without it!!!

New fun date idea! What if we went to therapy and rehab together?
i know your heartbeat
After slowly chipping away at this for a while, I'm finally done drawing the cast of The Magnus Archives!
i’m thinking about that scene near the beginning of into the spider-verse where mary jane is delivering her eulogy for spider-man to an assembled crowd and some people are wearing his mask / costume, including miles, and the camera pans over their faces with miles in centre frame while MJ says, “we all have powers of one kind or another. but in our own way, we are all spider-man,” and then the camera focuses in on miles and she says, “and we’re all counting on you.” and it’s just *chef’s kiss* bc the storytelling! the cinematography! the symbolism! single-handedly revived the medium of animation
A funky little hair timeline
the only thing you need to know about the batman movie is that this bruce is dumb enough, emo enough, and guilty enough to adopt an acrobatic orphan and think it’s absolutely the right decision
