DCU

It’s probably my Superman bias, but I get really bothered by the trope that has all of the Supers being scared of the Bats. Like, sure, Batman and his kids are cool, but come on, it’s SUPERMAN, he’s the strongest superhero in the world and the rest of them are almost as strong. Superboy I, Superboy II, Supergirl, Power Girl, all of them, it’s just not happening. They respect the Bat Clan, they are incredibly intelligent and well trained heroes, but they aren’t going to seriously be able to beat the Supers, nor would they actually want to. They’re friends, they trust each other. I get that it’s short hand to show a character is bad ass by having their allies be scared of them, but I’ve never really understood why genuine friends who cared about each other would act that way. So yeah, that’s just me.

DC Fic Trope Question

Why is it so popular to write fics where the Justice League has never met the Batfamily? I seem to see it a lot and I just don’t get it. It just seems so sad to have a Dick who didn’t get to grow up with Clark and Diana around or the Teen Titans. His relationships with other superheroes mean so much to him. And then there’s Tim who is practically soul mates with Connor, Bart and Cassie, I hate the idea of him not getting to have them in his life. It all just seems so isolating for them to have no connection with the wider superhero world.

I know this trend is just going to become more popular once the new DC movies come out. The only thing I’m not a fan about the James Gunn announcements is that Superman is going to be starting off younger but Batman is jumping straight into the Damian Wayne storyline and the age implications that come with that. They’ve already confirmed that Nightwing is already going to be a thing too. Is Clark now going to be of an age with Dick? That just doesn’t seem right to me.

The idea is that I’ll talk about my day here plus whatever tangents I go off on as I do so. No idea how well I’ll keep up with it but I try.

Fandom Complaint

I really hate the Marvel Superfamily trope for a number of reasons, mostly centering on the infantilization of Peter Parker and the erasure of his actual family in favor of Steve and Tony which makes me sick, I actually like that pairing but just give them their own kid, Peter’s characters is so OOC in all those stories anyway, just go all the way and make an actual OC.

But whatever, right now the thing that pisses me off the most about Marvel Superfamily is that they’ve stolen the term “Superfamily” from Superman and his actual family. How am I supposed to look up content about Chris, Conner, Jon, Kara and various related family members if Superfamily isn’t about the actual Superman Family?

Naruto Headcannon/Prompt

So it’s never actually discussed how Naruto was raised until he was in the Academy, we only see him as a baby on the night he was born and then jump to him living on his own. I know it’s been kind of accepted that he was placed in an orphanage but I don’t really think Hiruzen would have places quite that much faith in untrained caregivers to oversee the jinchuuriki. This is a roundabout way of saying I think baby Naruto was taken care of by ANBU and a wet nurse before being placed in an apartment. And since Kakashi was ANBU he would have looked out at least a bit and did stuff like feed him and change his diapers. Long story short, I am now picturing Kakashi helping out with one of the Team 7 kids and having his students be like, how do you know how to change baby diapers only for him to just casually say something like, “oh, Naruto gave me plenty of practice” and just completely ignoring them having their minds blown and Naruto just kind of frozen in horror at the thought of his sensei having cleaned up after him. I feel like someone with actually talent could make a really funny one shot with that.

Sakura’s excitement for her team assignment had faded somewhere around the first hour mark, after all the other teams had been collected by their jounin-sensei. Sasuke has resolutely ignored both her and Naruto the whole time and even the hyperactive blond himself had run out of steam in their long wait. His stupid prank was in place and all three were staring somewhat mindlessly at the chalkboard ahead of them.

It was just as Sakura had resolved to go ask someone if they’d been forgotten that the door to the classroom finally opened. A Kunoichi stepped into the classroom, the eraser balanced on the top of the door fell neatly on top of her head with a plop, prompting a cloud of chalk dust to puff into the air and settle on her head. Naruto immediately started guffawing over it while Sakura jumped to her feet and tried to apologize while internally she was pleased at the silly prank’s success. Sasuke made no real movement.

The Kunoichi who was to be their sensei observed them silently, head tilted slightly. She was pretty, even with most of her face hidden due to the mask covering the bottom half of her face and her hitai-ate tilted to cover her left eye. She was dressed in a standard Shinobi uniform and had her long silver hair pulled back into a ponytail. With a small nod she addressed them, “My first impression of you? ... I hate you, now meet me on the roof in ten minutes.” And with that, she vanished in a swirl of leaves, leaving the three Genin gaping after her.

Harry Potter Complaint

Okay, so I don’t even know why I care anymore because I’ve already decided that Harry Potter is overrated and I should be done with it but I can’t stop thinking about how JK Rowling messes up magic in North America. I’m not even going to bother getting into all the issues with what she said about Native American magic, that’s a whole different problem that I don’t have the knowledge to competently talk about. My biggest issue is with the political landscape of the magical community I. The United States. Does she not know anything about how Congress and our branches of government work? There is just not possible way for there to be a magical president before the United States as a country was formed. Also, there would be no magical president at all, is there a magical prime minister in her books? No, there isn’t, there is a Minister of Magic, so it should be the Secretary of Magic. Further, what the hell is with Ivermony somehow being the only school for magic between all of the United States and Canada, does she have any idea how big these two countries are? We aren’t little island Britain that can pull off having one school, we are a massive continent, it’s complete unfeasible even if we did have the same culture of boarding school as they do, which we don’t. If you aren’t going to bother doing any research about the country you’re writing about before you starts describing a secret society in their midsts, don’t write anything.
