It's #deafawarenessmonth I'm Deaf, hard-of-hearing since birth. I have had hearing aids since I was five years old. It's very much who I am and those who know me know I don't tiptoe around it. I enjoy being deaf. On my days off, I do not put my hearing aids until afternoon. It's peaceful.

I forget which book it was exactly but I remember reading an interaction between Damian Wayne and Red Hood Jason Todd and realising, wow, I can't fucking stand either of these characters, then just dropped the whole thing and never looked back.

I talk a lot about the time I realised I don't care about X-Men and should stop trying, but I hardly ever mention that I had the same realisation about the current version of Batman

I'm wondering now if anyone's written a paper on like. 19th century eurocentric beauty standards as expressed in the text and subsequent cultural depictions of Frankenstein
Maia (@maiaf.bsky.social) reply parent
also! you mentioned his veins showing beneath his skin, and consider that when the book was written, being so pale your veins were visible wasn't just considered beautiful, it was also a class/wealth indicator
Maia (@maiaf.bsky.social) reply parent
I think there's an interpretation there that what people are reacting so strongly to could be what we'd now recognise as the uncanny valley effect
Maia (@maiaf.bsky.social) reply parent
the interesting thing is that when Victor describes the Creature, he specifically talks about it as an assemblage of individual characteristics that can be considered beautiful in isolation, and that beauty was his reason for selecting them, but the beautiful parts make a whole he finds repellant
Maia (@maiaf.bsky.social) reply parent
I was a bit confused by this until I remembered depictions of Frankenstein's Bloke tend not to be what other people might typically consider a hot character and that I am perhaps an outlier on this matter

y'know the kerb cut effect, how accomodations for disabled people end up benefiting abled people too? I think trans people adopting new names becoming more normalised also helps cis kids realise they don't need to spend the rest of their lives being called shit like 'Khaleesi' if they don't want to.

and when I say they try lifting it with wooden beams, I don't mean using leverage or anything so boringly scientific, I mean they just pass thick wooden beams underneath the thing that was too heavy to lift and then try lifting the beams, which snap in half due to the weight and forces involved.
Maia (@maiaf.bsky.social) reply parent
every 5 minutes they seem to add another guy. one of the adult men using various large power tools has to be told what 'conical' means. they try lifting it but it's too heavy so they try lifting it again using thick wooden beams and are surprised that didn't make it lighter. I fear they will live.

I watch a lot of tiny home/camper build videos and they're usually very chill, laid back affairs but I started watching one about a tiny camper for abandoned railroading and the vibe is putrid. choppy editing. 'zany' sound effects. dated pop culture references. these men are surely Bros of some kind
