The Adamantine Lure
All the schway things
which while away my time,
and then some.
hollywood sure has an easy time finding brown and black people to play terrorists, thugs, drug dealers, gangsters, servants, “barbarians”, hypersexualized or desexualized caricatures but all of a sudden you need a lead role and
gosh where did they go i swear we put them here right after zero dark thirty??

❝Superman needs to be grounded. When you’ve got a character who can juggle black holes while memorizing every book ever written, you know, it’s not a bad idea for him to have strong relationships with ordinary humans.❞

This is the big thing I think a lot of people trying to crack the Superman code miss. The guy is all powerful. You can’t approach his character like you would most heroes. He’s GOT to have something stable. His parents. Lois. Even Chloe or Jimmy or Jane or whomever his BFF is. These characters are what make him human.

- Holding down a job is not a measure of value.
- Attending school is not a measure of value.
- Whether or not you can “contribute” to society is not a measure of whether or not your life is valuable and worth preserving.
These are standards held up by a society values money and production over everything else. If you think life has any less value or worth because of an inability to do any of the above you re fucking wrong.
That’s all.
Thanks.
Being body positive doesn’t mean you have to find every body type attractive. It’s okay to not find thin girls attractive, or only be attracted to meaty boys. It’s also okay to not find fat girls attractive, or to only be attracted to skinny boys. Or anything in between! Just as long as you recognize that it’s only your personal preference and not some kind of fundamental flaw in people you don’t find attractive, you’re golden.
Needs to be repeated… everywhere.

It’s okay DC
At least you sort of tried
Kind ofsrsly lol. here’s what happened @ DC according to me
- found out last minute that Northstar @ Marvel was getting married
- called a halfassed brainstorm for a PR stunt they could pull that would get them media attention of equal caliber without being overly progressive (god forbid)
- ignored/forgot existing and mostly benched queer characters (as usual)
- continue pandering to ~core target audience~ by picking a character 96% of people don’t give a single shit about (sry but it’s true….)
- added fluffy words like ‘icon’ to their press release for maximum attention baiting
- wait for pats on the back and standing ovations.
