Us Batfamily fic writers need to get even more creative with the kind of tech the Bats use on patrol. I’m talking like ascending/descending tones in their earpieces to indicate incoming hostiles or attacks. Sensors and biometrics in the armor with read-outs in their lenses. Little metal clips attached to their back molars so they can engage comms or other tech hands free by clicking their teeth together a certain way. Gloves that lock a certain way depending on how the fingers are positioned so they can activate their gauntlets for a fall/slide. Magnetic soles to their boots that engage with a certain click command. Implants they can trigger by holding their breath long enough to indicate they need a rescue. Etc.

wondered when exactly Damian started casually chatting with his hallucinations of Alfred in Robin (2021)

figured isolating himself in a dark tower carrying pictures of Alfred and the weight of his death would do the trick! (Detective Comics (2016) #1032)

Foundational element of Clark and Lois' relationship has to be Perry pairing the mild-mannered, slightly haphazard (working theory is ADHD) newbie journalist to keep a leash on (grudgingly) his best albeit mildly dyslexic writer who has occasional alarming lapses of professionalism in order to make pointed jokes and comments.

It takes three days before Perry realizes they might be getting married and less than one for him to realize that Clark Kent is never going to stop Lois from doing anything, she's actually a horrible influence on him, and she only survives crazier and crazier odds with him around.

Headcanon that Bruce venmos Jason $100 whenever he is feeling guilty about his death, like the emotionally reserved billionaire he is, however Jason genuinely has no idea why Bruce does this and it confuses him every time. It happens about once or twice a month and Jason's theories include Bruce thinks he needs the money (which is kind of annoying but okay), Bruce does it when he wants Jason to talk to him (confusing since sometimes it will be after a particularly bad argument where Bruce told him to get out of Gotham), or compensation for missions (which is offensive since $100 is kind of insulting). Either way, while it drives Jason absolutely insane, $100 is $100.

Say it with me now:

1. Being free from sin is not the same as being God.

2. Mary being free from sin does not make her God.

3. Mary being free from sin does not make the Incarnation unnecessary because she is still not God.

4. Christ's sacrifice was not meritorious merely because He was a man free from sin but because He is both man and God.

5. Mary is not God.

6. If you think Catholics talk about Mary more than Jesus maybe it's because you only engage with Catholics via our responses to Protestant criticisms which skews your perspective.

7. Every Marian doctrine ultimately points to Christ and tells us something about Christ and His salvific mission, so even when we are talking about Mary, we are also talking about Christ.

The worst trick a childhood anxiety disorder pulls is, you spend your early years being applauded for being so much more mature than your peers, because you aren’t disruptive, you don’t want any kind of attention, you don’t express yourself, you keep yourself to yourself - this makes you a pleasure to have in class, etc etc - and you start to believe it’s virtue. But you’re actually way behind your peers in normal social development, and who knows if you can ever catch up.

I hate this so much.

episodes that i think every tv show should have:

timeloop

whodunit

musical

beach trip

random genre change (especially if it's to a noir detective thing)

one where they get randomly meta and fourth wall breaky but then never acknowledge it again

one where something happened but we as the audience don't actually get to see how it happened and only see it through the unreliable narrated flashbacks as recollected by the characters

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
