I think everyone has forgotten that the most important thing about the casting of Death in Netflix’s The Sandman is that she can successfully bounce a loaf of bread off of Tom Sturridge’s head.

All this talk about Batman reminds me of this quote from Neil Gaiman in regard to Sandman.
I’m thinking a lot about how Andor as a show opposes a lot of the ideas of the Jedi code, and I’ve seen a few people put their thoughts on the lines about trying, so I thought I’d toss my brain in the ring
“Do or do not, there is no try”: a 1983 message about motivation and taking control of your own motivation and purpose. Do nothing by half measure, you have to have intent to succeed or you’ll never make it. In a movie that has been officially stated to be anti-war commentary about the protests against the Vietnam war, it makes sense that this would have a double meaning for viewers. Given by a wise old master to a young man as passing along wisdom.
“Remember this: try”: a 2022 message in a time where way more people feel absolutely hopeless about the state of the world. No matter how dismal you think it might be, you can make a chip against the despair in the world. If you just try a little, make an effort, it will help. In a show that’s blatantly anti fascist and anti capitalist, it’s clearly meant to be a message that just a little does something, even if it all seems futile. Said by a young rebel in a manifesto that he’s writing against the fist of the Empire.
Obviously this is a good amount of nonsense, it’s currently past 2 am and I’m kinda rambling, but my god. My god. This show has taken over my mind entirely
So I created new memes... @caelum-in-the-avatarverse I’m sure you can tell which of your ocs are my favorites
the day white x-fans realize the mutant metaphor is trash for multiple reasons is the day i will finally know peace like 1. the majority of mutants are straight white and cis and 2. it allows yall to act like the oppression of a fictional metaphor for a minority is more important than real marginalized identities because i swear to god half of y’all white x-fans act like the avengers are personally oppressing you whenever they show up with their inconsistent writing in x-comics
(also white people dont even think about commenting on this idc if u rb but do not speak. thank you)
“large chests are not inherently sexual and they need to be desexualized, especially since many people with large chests are underage and sexualized by default because of the natural state of their bodies” and “99% of character designs where the character has a large chest, especially underage ones, are matters of blatant fetishization and not an attempt to normalize the body type” are realities that can and should exist
I also need to post individually each video, since Tumblr only allows one. @caelum-in-the-avatarverse
I can’t of anything to currently ask and such, so here’s a bunch of hearts. (I’ll probably ask questions later) ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️And thank you so much for such amazing world building and characters. I have yet to see a fanfiction that lives up to yours.
That’s right, today marks 10 years since I posted the first chapter of Gilded Green back on good ol’ Fanfiction Dot Net! The fic itself, of course, is older than that, because it took me over two years to write, but the point still stands.
Happy birthday to my baby!
It wasn’t the first fic I’d published, but it was definitely the one I’d put the most work into at the time. Stingrae was a major support and a fantastic beta, and there’s no way I could’ve gotten the darn thing written without her. She held my virtual hand through brainstorming sessions and writing marathons and that time I decided I’d just have to let the brainwashing be as awful and creepy as it had to be and that time I drank too much tea and she gently told me to stop because my messages were riddled with typos, and ALSO that time she told me to stop obsessing over the calendar and timeline I was creating for ATLA itself and GO TO SLEEP ALREADY. XD
I still remember being oh-so-nervous about posting it, after years of trying to get it right. Feeling kinda bad that I only managed to get it to my liking after the ATLA fandom had started to die down. Wondering if anyone would bother reading it, considering it focused on an unpopular villain, minor characters, and a ton of OCs. Getting all giddy and super happy when the reviews started to come in and people actually liked it!
And people still like it, so many years later! And I’ve kept writing and shared so many more stories with y’all and made quite a few friends ever since! (If you’re a regular commenter of mine I love you and you’re my fandom friend even if we’ve never had a conversation outside of fic comments, I don’t make the rules. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
Unfortunately I don’t have much to celebrate with. I would’ve LOVED to finally have GG2 ready to go, or even rewrite GG itself as a 10th anniversary edition that’s more in line with my current writing style and some updated worldbuilding/character development that I’ve come up with in the years since, but given last year and this year and everything else that’s going on I just haven’t had the spoons to do any of that. :P
BUT I’d still like to commemorate this kinda-momentous occasion somehow, SO! If anyone is interested, this is an open invitation to come by my ask box if you’d like to:
Ask questions
Make comments
Copy/paste a chunk of text from the fic (GG itself or anything else in the series) for me to leave DVD-commentary-style musings on
Ask the characters any questions
Ask me when GG2 is coming (please don’t ask me when GG2 is coming)
Tell me your favorite character/part/worldbuilding/whatever
Send me a bunch of emojis
Ask me about my Sburb headcanons for my OCs
Ask me about my Hogwarts House headcanons for my OCs
Idk, whatever else you think might be fun
Whether you saw Gilded Green on FFdotnet ten years ago or only just discovered it, whether you’ve ever commented on it or not, I’d just like to thank you for taking your time to read my story. I know I’m slow at writing, and that it’s easy to assume my stuff is abandoned, but I really do appreciate everyone who’s allowed me to share my fic with them. You’re all fantastic, and I love you!

I’m currently reading Steph’s run as Batgirl, and this moment with Damian is just too much…
So Steph’s talking to this guy, but she turns around…
And there’s Damian
