Posts That Are Little Nightmares To Me

this leucistic blue jay, photographed by sue kiesel, is almost pure white - in stark contrast to a typical specimen’s vivid blues. leucism is a genetic mutation that presents in a lack of pigmentation, but not a full loss as in the case of albinism.

by far the funniest thing about reading fanfiction as a political professional is that I can always tell exactly who has and hasn't been to a fundraiser or gala based on how they write them

Happy fat fuck Friday to Themberchaud, Wyrmsmith of Gracklstugh

Roy's titties. pls.

Okay, here you go.

Alastor, you petty bitch.

I 100% believe he just saw Lucifer and immediately realized how to get under his skin. It was hate on first sight. He also totally has an agenda that uses Charlie somehow. Two birds one stone.

Also, guess whose getting better at drawing in the style B )))

dude your brave and loyal knight fucking bit me

this is a genuine question and not me being snarky or anything, but what's with the aversion to dick grayson's ass? when i was new to the fandom, i just sort of assumed it was a joke that he's got a great ass, but i've seen a few things lately that make it seem like it wasn't alright to say those things? i'm out of the loop and you seem to know what's up lol

So it’s like.... it’s complicated. 

Dick having a nice ass isn’t necessarily a bad thing to joke about as fans in moderation, but the problem is that in the actual comics there are multiple instances of other characters commenting on his ass and body in general with him very clearly expressing discomfort over it, and it usually gets treated like a joke.

There’s so many more instances throughout his history but those are a few I had on hand. Not only that, but this paired with the fact that he has been raped twice in canon, just makes it very uncomfortable when DC oversexualizes him as some kind of marketing thing to try to appeal to a female audience, and usually when they do it’s by putting more ass focus/jokes/commentary into stuff. So it can just get kinda... tiring.

If they’re not going to treat the sexual harassment he’s faced in the comics they publish seriously, then they have no right to joke about him like that, ya know? But again, when fans comment/joke about it it’s... very different than when DC does it.

Like, there is nothing wrong with considering Dick Grayson to be a sexy character, or to have a nice ass or something like that, and it’s not even like it’s bad to talk about it! He is sexy! But we as fans should be critical of how this subject gets portrayed in the comics because it’s very often that he is being sexualized by others in ways he expresses discomfort over. Usually it feels like when people are saying to stop making jokes about Dick’s ass it comes more from a place of being frustrated by DC doing this rather than like... some other fan making a shitpost about it being the root of the problem 

This is a pretty good post talking about the Grayson comic specifically that kinda goes into some talk about the difference between a character being Sex-positive vs being Sexualized.
