So, I was just having a look at the cast for the new DC movie Suicide Squad and the video I was watching kinda made me notice something. So, first off, yes I am a DC fan more than a Marvel fan. I DON'T hate Marvel, I just prefer DC. Also I do like the Dark Knight trilogy... or at least the first one since that's the only one I've seen but anyway.
So they didn't seem to like the idea that the Joker is possibly going to be pretty different from the Dark Knight Joker, which kinda annoys me. I haven't been a fan of the series for very long but I know enough to say that the Dark Knight Joker is actually quite different from other versions of the character.
Now, originally the Joker was a very clean individual, while in the Dark Knight he's very grubby. This isn't a bad thing, in fact it's quiet interesting. In fact I do like this version, it's just not my favourite. In fact, in the video they seemed a bit iffy about the idea that the Joker might end up like he was in the Tim Burton movie. I personally don't find this to be a bad thing, because that version was very good.
What annoys me is that as soon as you say something that you don't like about the Dark Night or you say that you prefer a different version of the Joker people can act kinda crazy. The other day I was browsing some fanfics and all I see is animatedverse with Dark Knight Joker with a few animated Jokers thrown in.
I get it, the Dark Knight is very popular and I don't have anything against people who like the movie and say that their favourite Joker is from that movie, but why not give a few other people a chance? Don't judge them, in fact there are some FANTASTIC Jokers out there! I mean the Joker in the animated series (the one from the 90's) was really good, the Joker from Under the Red Hood is great and the Joker from Assault on Arkham is incredible! Plus these three are much closer to the original character than the Dark Knight version, or at least that's what I can gather... I dunno.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I find it annoying when people judge something before they give it a chance! Don't freak out because something is different, take a gander at this new thing and THEN you can judge it! I mean, I'm not 100% sure on Harley Quinn in this upcoming movie, but I won't judge her until I've seen the movie! I mean, Harley is my favourite character and after the terrible interpretations that I've seen in The Batman and Batman The Brave and the Bold (bare in mind I did give them a fair chance and went in with an open mind when I watched the shows, but ultimately didn't like them.) I'm a tad worried. But in the past few years with the Arkham games and Assault on Arkham they have done the character justice so I'm feeling pretty open minded about it.
So, if you aren't sure about something just accept it and give it a chance before you openly bash it. It doesn't make you look good and to be honest it's pretty annoying. You are entitled to your own opinion and I respect that but PLEASE respect other peoples opinions too.

Not Returning, But Where To Find Me
Title says all, I'm not coming back here, but I'm doing a WHOLE lot better these days! I'm still posting art, just not here and not very often because I have been incredibly busy with my final year of my Bachelor's degree. I've deleted most of my old accounts for mental health reasons and Art Fight is now a big, fat MAYBE. I might join again this year, but I will have to see what my workload is like when the time comes. You can find me on Instagram, right here: https://www.instagram.com/gaillean_arts/ I'm also aiming to upload more to YouTube after I graduate, but that's yet to be seen. Alright! Just wanted to check in because I left in a really awful state. I'm still not perfect, but I'm definitely on the way to recovery, however long that might be. :)
Leaving DA
This is something I think has been a long time coming, but with Eclipse and recent changes in my life has given me the push I need to do this. For starters, I will not be deleting this account. I will only be using it to keep up with a few comics maybe once a day or so. But that's it. No post, nothing. I've been on this site for years, a good chunk of my life and... well, truthfully, I think the cons on my life have outweighed a lot of the good I've gotten out of this, especially over the last year. To put it simply, I've been involved in more drama and personal turmoil in the past year than I ever have in my life and I don't want that. That's not me, I don't want that stress and I don't want to be that person. So, I'm saying it right now. If I have hurt anyone in any way over the last year, I'm sorry. I'm genuinely sorry. One thing that has negatively been affecting my life for years is parasocial relationships and mental/emotional abuse. Without diving too deep into things, I
UPDATES!
Big update time because things are starting to get back on track and I'm feeling like I finally have control of my life again! So, therapy has helped, feeling a million times better but surprisingly my classes have also helped, specifically Applied Professional Practices. Learned how to do taxes the other day and a bunch of useful information about freelance work and business skills. Feels really darn good. SO, the big stuff. I can't tell you what my big project is yet. I don't know if it's been approved for my final year, but the pitch went extremely well and people are interested and onboard to work on it if the tutors come back and tell us that it will be the project we're working on. I still need to submit the written proposal, but the presentation itself went over better than I expected it to. I can reveal a few details about it now. It IS a Y7+ pitch, think Avatar: The Last Airbender, Dragon Prince and She-Ra level. I chose a Y7+ range because I want to make it as accessible
I Need A Break
I really, really need a break. And I mean a big one. This year has thrown nothing but garbage at me for months and I can't take it anymore. I need to step back and breathe. Focus on my school work and just... refocus. No, I am not planning to do anything bad. My mental health is not the best right now and it might be that way for a long time, but I haven't let myself fall into that trap. I am getting help. I have a support network and I am following advice that is helping me get my life back on track. But, there are VERY big changes I need to make to keep myself from falling back into a lot of traps I thought I got through years ago. I am not associating with Fandom anymore. I haven't done so since 2018 when I finally let go of Undertale and decided to just enjoy it as it is. I have to remember that I can enjoy media without it completely taking over my life and that I can accept that the things I like are flawed. I can appreciate them for what they are and not what I want them to
