The idiots are out in force on Tumblr.
Starfire is getting some hate for being Robin's canon romance. Bizarrely enough, not from the usual suspects this time, but from fans jealous that she took Robin away from them.
Die For Our Ship annoys me in all forms but when the ship is Fictional Character/Me I just... I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.
THE CHARACTER IS FICTIONAL. FICTIONAL CHARACTERS CANNOT CONFESS THEIR LOVE TO YOU. THEY CANNOT BE WITH YOU. YOU HAVE LESS CHANCE TO BE WITH THESE PEOPLE THAN YOU DO WITH CELEBRITIES. WHY IS IT SUCH A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE A CANON ROMANCE?
DOES STARFIRE'S EXISTENCE SOMEHOW INVALIDATE YOUR CRUSH ON ROBIN? WHAT?!
Look okay, I sort of maybe get it. There was one point that I was pretty absolutely convinced I was going to marry Elijah Wood. But you know what? I was fourteen. And I grew out of it. And realized, ha ha wow, that's silly, I'm probably never going to even meet him in my lifetime, 'tis pointless to get possessive over him and hiss at other fangirls just for expressing their own interest in him. We can share! There's enough Elijah Wood for the fantasies of all.
Like, do these people get hissy at other fans for having crushes on Robin too? It is just Starfire that gets the hate? Do the fans not realize they can self-insert into Starfire? Or create their own self-insert? Or just imagine Robin being into them instead?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

Marvel and DC movies
Random post be random
I've been criminally neglecting my LJ, I know. After I do my words for Camp NaNoWriMo today I'll see if I can't get this shindig all caught up. I'll do my review/reaction to The Dark Knight Rises, maybe talk about the shows I'm watching, post fic updates, get in a Lady Appreciation Post, and things like that.
In the meantime though, I have a brief reaction/rebuttal to a bit of shipper stupidity.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I cannot even begin to describe how excited I am by this. I thought things were awesome when we got the chibi shorts. BUT THIS?! THIS I DID NOT EXPECT. I FEEL LIKE MY BIRTHDAY AND CHRISTMAS HAVE COMBINED AND COME EARLY.
Lemme go ahead and get my Unpopular Opinion out of the way: I DO NOT CARE ABOUT GETTING A SIXTH SEASON. There. I said it. Consequently the usual whining and bemoaning a segment of the fandom is doing at hearing this news has me extremely annoyed.
But I'm going to ignore that whining and instead focus on the shiny new possibilities a new show will bring.
LIKE, WHAT IS THIS ABOUT SOMEONE NEEDING TO GO TO DRIVER'S ED AFTER CRASHING THE BATMOBILE IN AN ATTEMPT TO IMPRESS A GIRL? THIS IS ABOUT ROBIN, RIGHT? PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME ROBIN TRIED TO TAKE STARFIRE OUT FOR A RIDE IN THE BATMOBILE. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
MY OTP CANNOT BE CONTAIIIIIIIINED!
