Can’t stop thinking about Battinson. Never in my life have I understood the “poor little meow meow” thing until I saw this man rock up to breakfast in a massive t-shirt and sweatpants, eat a single blueberry because Alfred told him to, and then put on sunglasses indoors because it was too bright. He tried to wingsuit down from GCPD headquarters, got his parachute caught, hit a bus and a parked car, tumbled through the street, then just stood up and ran away. This man looked like he was on the verge of crying out of sheer awkwardness every time he had to be Bruce Wayne and he still didn’t look clean.
He’s a dirty, greasy, disgusting little gremlin man and it shows and I love him
Finally drew this au [?] thing .. Instead of going public about Ingo’s disappearance to avoid bad publicity for Gear station [Ingo and Emmet are fairly big celebrities], some PR people orchestrate a cover-up and set Emmet up with a zoroark :]
AKA: Emmet is in the middle of grieving and on the verge of having a mental breakdown, all while being haunted by the visage of his missing brother. Psychological horror ensues, etc
Okay, so as the canon recedes from memory and fandom jokes take hold — la de da the world turns — I’ve seen an influx of takes that have steadily moved away from “Izzy’s tragic because this whole debacle is technically his fault (going after Stede’s hostages)” and “Izzy is sympathetic in part because he’s so bad at villain-ing” straight into serious claims of, “Wow, Izzy is just totally incompetent, huh?”
No, no, no, Izzy is terrifyinglycompetent.
We as a fandom need to remember our meta roots; one of the very first things ever acknowledged in the community: this is a character who has suddenly been thrust into a new genre.
For me, it’s basically the storytelling version of the “Who would win, Goku or Saitama?” question. The answer has nothing to do with power, skill, or competence and everything to do with what would be funny, because Saitama exists in a universe where, unless it’s more entertaining for him to lose, he automatically wins — always, forever, it’s the default state. That doesn’t make Goku, a guy with the power of the godsin his own universe, incompetent by any stretch of the imagination. It just means he’s suddenly been hog-tied by the rules of a new reality.
back in my day we didn’t call him a poor little meow meow we called it woobification and people were shamed for it
literally. they literally woobified woobification
See, to me the two are different
Poor Little Meow Meow means “he’s never done anything wrong [blatant and conscious lie]”
Woobification means “he’s never done anything wrong [genuine belief that will cause genuine offense and outrage if anyone points out that it’s objectively untrue in canon]”
people need to realise that a poor little meow meow must be a character who has committed atrocities you cannot poor little meow meow a good guy that’s not how this works
what this post has shown me is that so many of people on this hellsite cannot distinguish between a poor little meow meow and a blorbo from my shows smh
Hope this helps!
However, keep in mind that if you haven’t seen or read all of the media involved, the person little-meow-meow-ing your blorbo may simply know more about their actions than you do.
