I finally finished that Ikeshot oneshot lol

I’ve had to learn the hard way not to trust fans when they state the quality of a character because there have been too many times when I thought a headcanon was actually canon and then left disappointed (which started the whole deep research into the newsies lives thing), so you can understand why I didn’t see why hiring a Romani actor to play Dick Grayson mattered very much at first. I think it would be a very great way to start a train of representation that’s recently been leaving DC comics but I thought Nightwing was just a White American born maybe born in a different country considering his background, and his race never seemed to matter very much.
          
          But no—that’s canon! He is Romani! And I couldn’t be happier about it. I’m reading the Leaping Into The Light compact comic—which I HIGHLY recommend if you’re trying to get into DC/superheros/comics—and they mentioned that NW’s (Nightwing aka Dick Grayson aka the first Robin) mother was Romani and just…I’m really happy about it because representation matters so much and it’s so rare we see representation for certain groups that aren’t apart of a distinctive narrative dominated by Americans.
          
          So, I’m no longer okay with Hudson Williams playing Dick Grayson. We need an unknown, Romani actor to fill the roll, seriously. 

I’m about to watch Young Frankenstein the musical lol I’ll tell you all how it goes

I would post this on Tumblr but I reach more people here.
          
          PSA: It is not queerbaiting just because the creator of that show you really like didn’t put two characters you shipped together.
          
          Byler was NOT queerbaiting. Reddie was NOT queerbaiting. Queerbaiting entirely depends on the marketing strategies of the CREATORS. Not what you would LIKE to happen.
          
          I’m so sick of people throwing this term around. Queerbaiting is a MARKETING TECHNIQUE. It is when a creator TELLS THEIR FANS that their creation will have queer representation in it and then they DON’T DO THAT. For example, and maybe I’m aging myself: KLANCE WAS QUEERBAITING. Byler was NOT.
          
          I’m sorry it disappointed you. I’m sorry you really wanted them to get together but it didn’t happen. But Mike was not a character that made any indication that he was into Will. Two characters of different sexualities CAN be friends. It is possible. I’ve seen it happen. 
          
          But we cannot compare apples and glass-filled cupcakes. Byler and Klance are NOT the same because the Stranger Things fandom WAS NOT QUEERBAITED. The writers NEVER said that Mike and Will would be together. 

Noah Wyle KNOWS something…
          
          SPOILERS FOR THE PITT but I don’t think any of you care
          
          Anyway, what do you mean Garcia and Santos are linking up? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHITAKER IS HOUSE SITTING FOR ROBBIE???
          
          This is straight from fanfic. Genuinely. Straight up. I’ve read fics where this happens. I’m sick. I’m sick to my stomach.

AO3 IS BACK BABY HAHAHAHHAHAHA

It’s 11:42pm, AO3 is down, I’m watching a Canadian TV show and scrolling Tumblr (a mix of Batfam and Hollanov), I dropped out of my Dual Enrollment class, and I just remembered I was writing an Ikeshot oneshot last night
          
          Hm. I’m somehow more upset that AO3 is down

I caught up on The Pitt and now I don’t know what to do’s with myself
          
          I can’t even watch ‘ER’ without thinking “God, why are they treating the nurses like servants? Why are ALL of the nurses women? Why are there so many male doctors? Where are the female doctors? Why are the nurses in pink but the doctors are in teal? Where’s Noah Wyle? Where’s the attending doctor? This looks like a chaotic mess. Why do they keep talking to the nurses like inferiors? Why are the student doctors not being taught by their residents?”
          
          It’s only the first episode but still. The Pitt has ruined all other forms of medical drama for me. This is the price of quality TV.

I did watch the halftime show, and I did dance through the whole thing. Bad Bunny is my play cousin at this point he’s family idc
          
          (He is not actually my cousin)

Look, I don’t mean to ‘big sister’ you guys but if you’re under the age of 15, don’t put your age in your bio, and don’t tell anyone you can’t confirm is also or around your age.
          
          This app may seem private—because if you’re anything like me, you hid and continue to hide your ownership of it from your parents—but it’s not. There’s a plethora more of stories on here than what you read, and an even larger amount of grown adults on here than you think. Not all of them are cool.
          
          Also, stop telling people your address. Don’t put your address in your bio. NEVER do that. It may seem small but if it’s easy for someone to doxx you on Twitter, it’s even easier with the help of you already having where you live in your bio, even if it’s as small as your city and state.
          
          Just be careful. Seriously. I know the internet can be a safe space, but it can be very dangerous, too.
