I want to make you feel like a humid Southern night, where the Spanish moss drips from the trees like lace, and honeysuckle buds perfume the air. Sticky, glistening skin. Sultry and forever.
and fifty dozen mosquitos are sucking your body dry and cicadas scream so loud you can never sleep and watch where your honeysuckle ass steps or you’ll plant your foot on a pissed off copperhead
One person is from the south. One person isn’t. Guess which.

Hey what’s with the gryff hate :^( (jokes i kinda hate it too)
Part of the buried self-hatred and rare moments of self-reflection is knowing that I’m a coward. That I am drawn to characters that show bravery by being brave only after initial cowardice or reluctance – I tend to like constantly courageous characters if there is a narrative Leeroy Jenkins moment that punishes them for that.
(It’s not universal)
That the other traits of chivalry and justice are very good, but a more egalitarian Hufflepuff version of those traits is a pure and better version. That motivation tied to ‘abstract ideals’ (forgive me Thomas Paine) is my least favorite- give me motivation to do the right thing because of connections to people or self.
That I really really hate Sirius Black, that my favorite Gryffindor was Ron Weasley followed by Neville Longbottom.
Ohh my goddd the hat would had a PROBLEM with you hahaha
Well, if we go by where I would ask the Hat to put me/what I value? Ravenclaw all the way. Especially me at eleven. I value knowledge- I am entertained by stories and knowledge. My ambitions are about getting more knowledge and entertainment and learning I want for myself and then sharing with others. As long as I feel safe and able to learn, that’s the extent of my ambitions. My mom described me as a jellyfish in respects to ambitions a long time ago
The ‘are you manipulative’ question was hard for me, because that depends on having a lot of successful social interactions, and my stance on honesty and am I honest when I interact with others- ahaha that really depends on the mode of interaction- generally I think I am a very honest person, but in other times and places yeah no the closest the truth I get is lying by omission. The introversion and social anxieties and that I’m not a brave person- can be stubborn, sure, but I don’t see myself as Gryffindor and find that mindset for the most part unappealing.
I am shocked that there’s no Slytherin and that there’s any Gryffindor. Some of the questions honestly I could not quantitatively and objectively decide, have a feeling I could go back, answer differently, but either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff sounds about right.
I keep remembering how many people freaked out when Martha Kent said:
“Be their hero, Clark. Be their angel, be their monument. Be anything they want you to be. Or be none of it. You didn’t owe this world a thing anyway.”
Don’t you think Clark having a choice in his status makes it stronger?
He’s not just Superman because he needs to be, he’s Superman because he wants to be.
He wants to save the world. He wants to be a hero. It makes everything he does much stronger because it’s his choice to be this way.
Humans are these dark, twisted beings. We’re this unsettling mix of good and bad.
Yet there is a person who looked at us, looked the darkest of us in the eye and realized that he wanted to help us. He wanted to use his powers for our benefit.
Doesn’t that mean anything to anyone?
Superman could easily leave the earth and go as far away as he can, but he doesn’t, because he made the choice to stay on earth and help humanity out.
And it’s that choice to stay that truly makes Clark Kent super.
like to expand with the concept art version BC IT IS THE MOST:
also, i want to back up crediting patty and zack bc this is not just a one off aesthetic choice. the dceu is intentionally maintaining a classical paintings motif that’s BEYOND standard referencing:
fall of the rebel angels depicts michael casting down lucifer
and this is important bc! right after this scene with finch and lex we get one of bruce’s crazy dreams! where he sees, ding ding, michael!
this is not even the first time we’ve seen an ANVIL sized church window visual red cape motif:
except i’m not here to talk about jesus parallels
i mean, it’s possible, lol, but this post is not about that. it’s about how hard the dceu is going on this motif. it’s reference, it’s thematic, but also clearly a huge visual inspiration
(the descent from the cross)
and it’s now being incorporated into the story. by turning the painting upside down the narrative is drawing our attention back to it. it’s a message or/and there’s a hidden message (common in detective fiction).
AND bc this post is really about celebrating how wonder woman is an intrinsic part of the dceu AND bvs and that patty and zack and others worked closely: let’s look at the what stands out about hippolyta and antiope:
hippolyta and antiope share the visual of the first painting. hippolyta gets the white horse. ANTIOPE GETS THE RED CAPE! it’s not just a staple of superman anymore, it’s associated with angels and with michael, with battling hell and with sacrifice.
I didn’t think I could appreciate the DCEU more than I did before and then this happened
