A thing that irks me about the way certain DC fans discuss canon is they’ll read a run that best fits their interpretation of a given character and then they’ll use that to correct others based on that run alone.

I’m fairly new to the comics but I’ve been reading a lot of them lately— I jump around as I see fit— but what I’ve learned is that canon is barely canon half the time. Sure there will be time’s where things that are completely fanon become widespread like Tim’s coffee addiction but it feels like so many of these arguments about characterization come from a miscommunication.

I’m going to use Nightwing as an example bc he’s my fav but Nightwing’s personality has varied a lot over the years. I just read a post that was very informative but the tone of it was like this is what’s ACTUALLY the canon personality of Nightwing and one of the things they mentioned was that Dick wasn’t a playboy bc he only went on one date in that run. Like sure I wouldn’t consider Dick a playboy either but that’s a total misunderstanding of where that perception of him came from. Nightwing’s playboy-ness comes from the fact that he gets paired up with female love interests a lot. In Nightwing Year One he kisses Babs and when she asks about Starfire he’s weirdly dismissive of her. That’s fuckboy behavior. Do I like this interpretation? No but it’s still in the text. This isn’t even considering the media outside of the comics: Dick in btas vs the arkhamverse vs arkham knights— they’re all distinct from one another.

My point is DC is old and they’ve retconned their characters so much that sometimes the same character shares a name alone and nothing else, but it doesn’t necessarily make either one more or less canon. We’re all playing in the same sandbox I think it would be more fun if certain fans stopped policing other fans.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New year! We officially say it’s now 2017, it’s completely unbelievable.  2016 flew by so fast it’s like it never even happened.

I’m currently watching homestuck and snacking on some starburst minis and drinking some water, I should be in bed but it’s way to late for that now.  I figured it would be a good idea to update this blog on my current situation.

I’m actually doing quite great at the moment.  That’s not something i say much on here anymore but I am feeling better.  Yeah, my family is still horrible but I, as a person am doing better. 

I’ve finally started caring for myself more which I’ve always been bad at.  I have also gotten a lot better, how do I say this, outlook?  When I say this I mean I try to think more positive things in bad things and I try to smile more and to be more cheerful.  I have also gotten to the point of trying not to cuss.  I am getting better with these things as time moves on so please excuse me if I do mess up on these things. 

I have gotten a few new hobbies as well.  I learned I want to learn to dance and I would like to get back into exercising.  I can’t dance good at all and I would like to learn, and I used to exercise every day when I was younger and it made me very happy. I loved to exercise so much and I hope I can get back into it.

I also have some new year resolutions I would like to share.  I had a hard time picking some and I tried to fit as much under one name as possible so here are some.

1. Be the purest version of myself I can possibly be.

2. Take well care of myself.

3. Take up hobbies (Dance, cosplay, make up, youtube, story telling).

4. Learn Korean.

5. Travel outside of comfort zone.

These are some of mine, please share some of yours too.  I would love to hear.

Anyhow, I must go now.  Anime is calling my name.  I hope everyone is having a great day, I love you all and please take care of yourself today.

“One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.”

Everything gets better with time ;

Fun perk of tumblr: everytime ao3 goes down and you're like, "is that just my internet or is something wrong?" You can immediately go to the ao3 tag on tumblr to see other people screaming in agony

Take care of yourself ~

please take care of yourself!

You’re allowed to love yourself!

Dick, to Tim: See how I wouldn't hide the fact I'm missing an organ? Very demure. Very mindful. Very cutesy.

Closed up

In this house I feel like I can’t express myself. I feel as if anything I like isn’t good enough. I try to show what I like to my family and they always insult it and I feel like a brat. I always say “well I guess I’ll go back to being closed up” but I never really do. Here lately I have lost alot of wight again and I don’t eat as much which is strange for me because I love food, I always have. I have also been wanting to cut more and more. I feel constantly like I’m being judged by the stuff I like or how I dress to the point I don’t want to leave my room. I don’t like myself and I feel like a brat for it. I don’t want to tell anyone how I feel bcause it makes me seem like a brat, hell, even writing it on a anonymous blog makes me feel like a brat at this point just because people read it. ~Anon
