Happy Fat Fuck Friday To Themberchaud, Wyrmsmith Of Gracklstugh

FIVE jackets?!?! are they all as cool as the latest you've been posting about? would love to see !

Hi anon! Guess you gave me a good reason to give a jacket tour.

This is my summer jacket. The sleeveless one that I'm wearing a lot when it becomes way to warm to wear more than 2 layers. The back still needs a banner patch and I'm looking at the toothxnail store's 'creature of the night' design. It also still needs spikes on the shoulders but I simply don't have enough yet. The jacket itself was free from a charity store because the middle button (replaced with a white one!) was missing and there was a glue spill on the inside.

This is *the* Gender Jacket. First one I made and the one I've worn the most. I'm actually looking to get a different longsleeve black denim jacket because I simply do not vibe with the slightly chinched waist anymore. Replacing it will be difficult but I've got a whole summer to get over my hesitation lol

The Shacket. My friends hate it when I call it that but that's what it's listed at on the brand's site. Thrifted from my work, with embroidery and a studded patch that was cut out of a flannel and given to me by a friend.

And this is honestly just a really big leather jacket! Bought for 15 euros at the thrift, actual value about 350. I look this kinda stuff up for fun sometimes. The fifth jacket is a dark blue chore jacket that I'm planning to do sashiko and boro techniques on but I've simply not had the time to work on it yet

bro, the me inside your head is kind to you, right? haha? 🤨

Oh? You like the batfam? So, are you queer, neurodivergent, mentally ill, or all three?

Ok but fr, the amount of batfam fans I know that are at least one of the above, and often all, just goes to show how much this messed up family resonates with people like us.

Queer people adore the concept of found family because we are so often rejected by our blood family. The concept of superheroes is inherently queer, and especially trans. Having a secret name only a few trusted people know? Having an entire community of people just like you that you can't tell the people in your every day life about? Leading two entirely separate lives with only a handful of people who know both sides of you? Queer.

The batfam especially is found family, because only a few members are related by blood (Bruce and Damian). The far majority of them is either adopted (the Wayne kids) or very very close to the rest of them to the point they're considered family (Alfred, Steph, Barbara, etc). Most DC families are blood families, so it makes sense that queer people gravitate towards the batfam. (Queer people love adopting each other. Looking at all my friend-sibs.)

Multiple batfam members are neurodivergent coded (Bruce especially), although unintentionally so, and they're all severely mentally ill/traumatized. We look at these characters and think, yes, you are like me, I understand you.

A lot of traumatized people project on the batkids, because, well, it's kind of a wish fulfilment to have an adult come save you when you're at your lowest, huh?

(Also why I suspect so many people project onto Tim specifically, because his trauma is the easiest to relate to. Most people don't grow up as assasins, or have their parents murdered.)

(And also why I think there is so much batfam fan content. We saw these characters who are so much like us being mistreated in their source material and decided to take them in as our own and give them better lives, the same way we long to do with ourselves.)

Besides, a big part of fandom in general is made up of nd ppl. We tend to hyperfixate on stuff and produce a fuckton of content cause this is the only thing we can think about. It's only logical that there are so many of us in the batfam fandom/larger DC fandom.

There wasn't really any point to this, just... we looked at this broken, messed up family, saw ourselves, and called it our own. I don't know, I just think that's pretty meaningful.

Funerals are boring as fuck. Ya’ll are all uninvited from my funeral in advance. Just pour some booze on the ground somewhere, and I’ll be fine.

i really do think eyebags are gorgeous btw. they're like the wings of an unwanted and unloved but strangely beautiful angel named insomnia.

btw dating sucks as a concept.
