the man on the flying trapeze
So, when I read the Robin War, one of the kids mentioned that the first robin had sung him a song, years ago. The man on the flying trapeze
the scene is pretty sad, but i thought it was really cute that Dick would sing to a kid a song that his parents probably sung to him when he was little in order to calm this kid down. It was just so sweet, and the lyrics were very nice as well
Then, going through Future’s End, I saw Dick singing it again, to another child that had just lost everything. Elena was talking to him, but he just wouldn’t listen to her. He was to busy singing to this little kid, again the same song
and I don’t know why, I thought maybe DC had invented that song. It made sense for Dick’s parentes to sing for him a song about trapeze, so I looked it up online, trying to find the hole lyric. And I found out it was (obviously!), a real, very old song! And I started listening to it, and got really moved by it. I know its silly, but the ideia of a little Dick Grayson listening to this song alongside with his parentes at the circus, or his mom singing it to him before he went to sleep was such a beautiful thought.
That’s the songs link:

I feel bad for all the comics out there tryna capture a kind of soft and nostalgic but also pleasant and believable “teenage superheroes in a small town” aesthetic bc like, Go Go Power Rangers already has it nailed perfectly I mean
tell me this isn’t the cutest shit you’ve ever seen
please support Power Rangers (2017)
please take this compilation of this man’s tiktoks of his ferrets and ducks
you know what I miss from the early Iron Man movies? The optimism. The joy. The ego. This isn’t saying that I think Tony is egotistical (although to a certain extent he is), I’m saying that he had that rock star image.
I mean:
the stark expo?
the Senate hearing?
Making the suit? Look at how proud he is of himself! What an accomplishment! This bitch is going places
LOOK AT HIS FACE, in any given scene of these two movies, almost all of them Tony’s got attitude, ego, a sense of hope. Hell, lets go wild, lets add in the Avengers too:
HE’S JUST SUCH A DIFFERENT PERSON.
a sink hole of human despair. They’ve taken away his theme music, his house, his rock star persona, his hope, his joy, his fluffy hair…
I do fully understand the choice to give Tony PTSD (or whatever they are now calling this) because the guy has been through so much shit. I’m not saying they couldn’t have done that. I’m saying they completely changed everything about how they present his character and I miss the Tony that was, and could have been. They stole so much light and happiness from this man and they said it was because he was recovering but they never fucking gave it back. Look at his face in that last gif. That’s a man who keeps thinking he’s found rock bottom but actually there’s farther to fall.

Can we please stop the White Feminist™ idea that naked = empowered?
Because I had to watch the Muslim girl in my history class lucture the class on Islam’s treatment of women and why she wears her hijab to feel closer to god, because some new girl in our class tried to coerce her into taking it off, and then proceeded to try to take it off her.
I made sure she was alright after class and she told me she’s used to it. I. Got. Pissed. Because this sweet girl is used to other people trying to rip her hijab off. I’m not Muslim, but from what I understand, that’s like being used to people trying to rip your shirt off of you.
Also, this idea doesn’t just threaten and offend Muslim women and girls. Because a lot of women and afab people don’t like being naked. It’s not empowering to them, it’s demeaning. For example, I don’t like being naked, because I just don’t feel comfortable with it. But still, my family still forces me to wear bikinis to the beach and thinks I’m self conscious just because I don’t want to wear the least amount of clothes possible.
So, in summary:
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered
Some domestic things we know about the boys
Nathan has never had detention.
Nathan hates dodgeball.
Jake had a crush on Riya, and according to Nathan, Jake wants to marry her right after college, have 2.3 children, and live in a penthouse on the bay.
Jake knows how long he’s known Riya, down to the days.
On day 2 of knowing Jake, Ricardo is already calling him ‘bro’ and trying to help with his girl problems.
Wingspan mentions he doesn’t have pockets in his superhero costume, but knowing all the costumes are made similarly, we can guess Stretch and Omnimass don’t have pockets either.
They always get snowcones after a mission.
Nathan’s grandpa used to run a newspaper.
Nathan lives with his parents, grandpa, five brothers, and his one sister, Isabelle. We can see that Isabelle and two of his brothers are younger than him.
i deal in #facts only
Nathan: Why are people so obsessed with top or bottom? Honestly I would just be excited to just have a bunk bed.
Jake: …
Ricardo: …
Erica: …
Riya: …
Ricardo: I’m gonna tell him.
Jake: Don’t you dare!
the saddest part of a small fandom is having to make the memes yourself :///
Something I like about Stretch Armstrong & the Flex Fighters is that it features semi-realistic depictions of unhealthy, or at least worrying, family situations for teenage boys and how that impacts emotions/behavior.
For example, Mr. Armstrong aggressively pushes Jake to overachieve, all while being physically & emotionally unavailable to his son and ignoring their mutual pain over the loss of Mrs. Armstrong. Jake RECOGNIZES this as incorrect, but is unable to confront his dad.
Ricardo’s parents are nearly always working, often breaking promises to spend time with their child. Again, Ricardo knows this is wrong, but seems unable to address or alter the dynamic. Moreover, this lack of permanence & attention has taken a SERIOUS toll on Ricardo’s self image & social skills.
Both Jake & Ricardo have clean, well maintained living conditions. They go to school, are physically fit and eat well. Their parents are gainfully employed and wish the best for their children… yet it is evident that something is WRONG in these households and it is hurting these kids.
So, you have 2 heroic teenage-boy characters in a BOY’S ACTION SHOW who are written to experience and express sadness & anxiety over their parent’s lack of positive input in their lives. They are allowed to be upset that they are being emotionally neglected.
Neglect/abuse is not presented as something that happens in “bad” homes, and it doesn’t create “bad” kids. Jake & Ricardo are our heroes! Nevertheless, it is happens and has an impact.
STRETCH ARMSTRONG AND THE FLEX FIGHTERS IS ON NETFLIX RIGHT NOW AND I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING!! ITS SO GREAT AND YOU SHOULD WATCH IT!!
Nathan is best boy
Stretch Armstrong and Why You Should Watch It
1. Stretchy bois
2. DIVERSE stretchy bois!!! Jake has a single, overbearing father and his mother passed away, Ricardo is a black teen with two successful parents who are never home, and Nathan is a Chinese (???? Not stated explicitly) teen with a massive, loving family.
3. Scott Menville (Robin, Teen Titans) and Steven Yeun (Keith, Voltron: Legendary Defender) voice two of the three main leads which is fucking amazing to listen to and provides great amv fodder
4. Main black character who used to be in a gang but pulled himself up and now helps manage and run the most successful company in town
5. Sly Chinese grandpa who finds out the kids are superheroes and instead of telling offers them a cover story if they need one
6. Bad ass female characters who don’t need no man (but still date because girls can do what they want)
7. Boys who aren’t afraid!!! To have feelings!!! And one who’s learning that thats okay!!!
8. Terrible humor and making fun of slang terms. So many puns about stretching.
9. Criminals who are only criminals because they don’t really have another choice who are given second chances instead of jail time
10. Really nice looking animation????
11. A continuous story arch but each episode is still unique to the show
12. Overall diverse show??? Like even background and side characters aren’t just white?? I haven’t watched the whole series and so far there isn’t lgbt stuff, but I wouldn’t put it past them.
13. Botany teacher who is WAY too into plants. And everyone loves said plants. Also botany teach is super protective of his students
14. Bois who enjoy some schoolwork but also hate it. You know, like a normal teenager.
15. Side character bully played by Josh Keaton (Shiro, VLD) who HATES Nathan (played by Steven Yeun [Keith]) which is fucking hilarious
16. Such polite bois who say please and thank you to the villains
In conclusion pls watch this show I’m so pleased with it thus far its worth your time I promise
“My cat realizing I am watching him do what I have repeatedly told him not to do”
what are some things that the batkids picked up from bruce that makes them remind people of him, like the way someone smiles or a nervous tick they dont notice
To start off, every single one of them has inherited Bruce’s most prominent nervous habit: counting. Bruce counts exits, people, weapons, seconds, windows, inches, and everything else. It calms him down to know how many. It makes him feel like he’s sufficiently aware of his environment.
The kids picked it up because Bruce quizzes them. Walk into a room with Bruce and he’s likely to ask for a few stats. It’s part of training; therefore, every kid developed the habit of counting anything Bruce might ask about. None of them ever lost the habit, so any of them can give a statistical situation report at the drop of the hat. It comes in handy.
Obviously they also gained his ability to appear/disappear at will, but that was intentional.
When he’s annoyed or suspicious, Bruce narrows his right eye more than his left. Tim does the same thing, at about the same frequency.
Bruce wears an heirloom ring with the family crest, and he turns it absentmindedly while he’s thinking. Jason won’t wear rings because he knows that when he does, he’ll twist them too.
Bruce and Cass have the same asymmetrical grin.
Since Duke is new on the job, he repeats Bruce’s instructions to himself while he works, including the original tone and inflection. It’s not an intentional imitation, but it’s a good one.
Dick inherited the most. It’s only natural. After all, he’s been with Bruce the longest. Mutual friends often say that Dick and Bruce talk the same, in a way they can’t really explain. It’s a little bit of a different situation, because it’s not just that Dick picked up Bruce’s habits. They’re two people who have borrowed so many of each other’s mannerisms that they end up somewhere in the middle. Nobody quite knows who started what.
Damian makes the “hnn” sound. Who did he pick that up from? Trick question. It was Dick, while Bruce was fake-dead, BUT Dick picked it up from Bruce, so it still counts.
Damian actually has a lot of his father’s mannerisms and habits, because he copies them intentionally. He really wants to be like Bruce :)
