the dialogue around babs and her disability is so cooked because if there was some understanding that disabled people with a mobility aid — whether it be a chair, a frame, a walking stick, a scooter, prosthesis, whatever — aren’t “trapped” by the devices designed to help them navigate the world we wouldn’t be stuck having the same reductive conversations. kim yale and john ostrander reintroduced babs as a disabled woman who took pride in her intelligence and abilities and saw her wheelchair as a means of reclaiming her independence and autonomy. she removes the handles on the chair because no one, whether it be her father or batman or darkseid, gets to push her around. taking that from her is an act of violence, whether ur tom taylor who can’t envision a world where disabled people are respected and capable unless they are magically cured, or a random online who thinks stealing the wheels off someone’s wheelchair is funny
Does it ever depress you to think about how Stephanie's entire life has been a quest to prove to everyone else and to herself that she's more than her own shitty circumstances and the conclusion we were apparently intended to take away from it was no, no she isn't. She can work a thousand times harder than everyone else and she can do everything right but as far as the narrative is concerned she will still never be anything more than the daughter of a failed bank robber.
girl dad not as in a dad with daughters but as in a girl who shares the tastes habits and personality traits of a middle aged father
I cope using humor okay 😭😭😭

Band AU but Fleetwood Mac style where the entire band consists of the bitchest and pettiest exes possible and then there’s that one character in the corner who just wants to make cool music with his friends
this is actually so funny. imagining garth quipping and contributing to the conversation in his head cause he forgot the rest of the teen titans can't pick up on his telepathy
whether it was intentional or not, I will always think about bart allen being coded as a neurodivergent foster kid. he’s “different” and “weird” and can’t focus on school, he doesn’t get people or their rules, very clearly ADHD, is constantly shuttled from home to home because nobody in his family really wants him or knows how to deal with him, he’s too much -
