I hate the fact that one of the apartments in my building has been turned into a BnB because tourists keep coming and I’m like “get out of my house!!!”

[neuro-psyche]

I think Dick and Jason would have multiple “what the actual fuck are you saying right now” with Tim and Damian when it comes to quality of life/monetary differences. Sure, Dick and Jason got used to Bruce’s “is $100 a good enough tip on a $30 bill?” shit, but hearing Tim talking about a new laptop he bought for $5000 literally is like a punch in the gut.

If they ever went on a cruise (which they totally wouldn’t because cruises are floating death traps), Jason and Dick would be in awe of the fancy amenities, where as Damian would be unsatisfied with the quality, since he grew up with every single amenity known to man. Tim would just feel like it’s all normal since the Drake’s were extravagant and travelled all over the planet.

Jason : My bedroom is bigger than my fucking apartment.

Dick : I could do a full gymnastics routine with the space in my room.

Tim :

Dick :

Tim : My room is normal sized…

Jason : You grew up in a mega mansion. I hardly think you’re the benchmark of a normal room-

Damian : I must agree with Drake. This room is frankly underwhelming.

Dick, staring wildly at him : What do you mean underwhelming- Dames there’s an aquarium wall in your room.

Damian : Yes. Underwhelming.

Jason :

Dick :

Jason : Do you want to-

Dick : Jump off the boat? Yes.

Prompt 185

No one could get into contact with Constantine. 

Now usually that wasn’t that big of a deal, the man constantly disappeared for a few days at a time doing something or other, but he’d been completely silent and unseen for months. Usually he’ll at least answer a call to tell them to fuck off or something. 

And they really need his expertise and are getting incredibly worried for their grumpy team member. Yes he’s an asshole, but he’s their asshole, y’know? And he has a habit of getting into Situations (sure he also usually gets out of them, but what if he didn’t this time?!) 

So they’re desperate. Kind of really desperate. Desperate enough to use the summoning sigil they found on his fridge. They’d checked it, multiple times, and it should summon the hellblazer. 

“You’re not Constantine.” . 

The white-haired teen in the circle yawned, stretching and blinking at them blandly with familiar blue eyes before sighing. “Actually I am,” he stuffed his hands into his hoodie as he looked down at the summoning circle. “Well, technically just one of the many Laughing Magicians currently in the Realms.” 

He gave a grin, looking more amused than annoyed. “Pretty much every one of us is in the Realms right now for family reunion lol. (Did he just say lol out loud??) So like, you’re gonna have to specify which of us you’re tryin’ to summon. Honestly perfect timing for me thanks, the fruitloop keeps flirting with John and it’s horrific so.” 

… That was probably their John, wasn’t it…

"he just wants to race!" "he doesn't pay attention to the world around him, he probably doesn't even know politics is something that exists!" "he was told to do this/say this" i dont know how to break it to you but saying that your favourite guy has the spine, brain and agency of a jellyfish is not the grand justification you think it is.

I didn’t sit here for years tryna stay calm and silent while listening to your bad takes on gale (who grew up oppressed, in poverty and then witnessed his entire district getting wiped out then rightly went to fight in the rebellion because it was his inlg chance of tearing down the system the wanted him and his family dead) being a “terrorist war criminal who is single handedly responsible for killing innocent people including prim and who is the REAL villain of the hunger games” just for y’all to turn and start stanning and defending actual facist dictator and child trafficker Coriolanus Snow because you saw a young hot version of him.

Hi! Since I know you love Stover’s ROTS novelization, I wanted to ask you what you thought about that part of the novel where Obi-Wan is holding back tears at the thought of betraying Anakin’s trust? I’ve seen some people call this passage OOC because Obi-Wan wouldn’t get so emotional when doing what was required of him as a Jedi, but I thought it was a sign of how Obi-Wan’s relationship with Anakin was so strong that it was the one thing that could come close to making him second-guess his Jedi duties. Did you have any thoughts about it?

Yeah definitely, I think canon Obi-Wan is a deeply human character, who exhibits the full range of emotions over the course of the saga, and those emotions are why he's such a compelling figure in Anakin's tragedy. We see him crying multiple times, notably during the climax of the Kenobi show, as he is especially emotionally vulnerable to Anakin. He cares so deeply about his brother-son-student-friend, and that love is trapped in circumstances beyond his control.

Obi-Wan holding back tears in this passage dramatizes how overwhelmed he is by his conflicting desires he feels to protect and defend Anakin, and to do his duty to the Order and the Republic. He's doing his best to balance everything, and it's not going particularly well. Anakin is wounded and slipping away, and Obi-Wan's actions have contributed to the circumstances that hurt him. He doesn't realize that Anakin is dangerous yet, but he does know that he's losing his trust.

I think in this moment he's not exactly second guessing his commitment to the Order, but he does tacitly reveal that he finds Anakin's extreme loyalty to be sympathetic to some degree, even admirable, a sign of his big heart and his generous, reckless dedication to the people he loves. Obi-Wan struggles to criticize it, as he's complicit in it when it comes to Anakin. It's a flaw they share, to differing degrees. Obi-Wan is mostly able to moderate it, and Anakin simply is not.

We know that Obi-Wan doesn't deliver a coup de grace either time he defeats Anakin in combat, and you can argue about whether or not it is consistent with the Jedi philosophy or an abnegation of his duty, but his love for his Padawan is never in question. He does his duty by taking the fight to the Sith, but he also cannot actively kill him when handed the opportunity on a silver platter. He's not an emotionless repressed robot, he's a man gutted by his desire to cling to a friend who betrayed him, and doing everything he can to rise above it.

It's just important to me that Jedi like Obi-Wan cry—that they feel anger and grief and terror just as much as any other sentient creature. What they do is allow those emotions to flow through them and not blindly guide them. Yoda and Mace have compassion for Obi-Wan here, but they also expect him to separate himself from his emotions and look at the situation rationally. Obi-Wan does that, even if he has qualms and is pushing down tears. I think it's extremely compelling, not OOC.

Let me know your thoughts/reasoning in the tags!

[shakingparadigm]

In a modern au I think the wagyein would be like one of those gaint ass crocodiles that Ivan gets away with keeping because its technically a service animal. As long as its on a leash its all good and not a threat to the public!!

Ivan being rewarded with a more expensive and unique kind pet like a whole fucking crocodile honestly seems pretty in line for him 😭 especially since it adds a new "chic" flair to his photoshoots and his general aesthetic. Imagine Ivan's new photoshoot drops and he's in a suit posing with a fucking crocodile. Insane.

I really like the imagery of this large, scaly and dangerous looking reptile being tamed as Ivan's pet, something that could help boost his image and push that luxurious, enigmatic vibe. You know, like how stereotypical evil lairs have sharks or other rare and dangerous animals guarding the entrance or simply acting as accessory. That kind of vibe. I also like the imagery of this sharp creature being forced into submission and captivity. Forced to become a good, obedient pet, holding in its urges and keeping its teeth hidden. A being taken from the ruthless, grimy darkness, cleaned and maintained to perfection, forced to perform for the cameras. Ivan can empathize, he knows what it's like.

"Technically a service animal" is fucking hysterical. Ivan going Hello, sir! Please excuse my emotional support 12ft crocodile. Don't worry, he's very well-behaved.

I actually think Ivan would get along very well with his hypothetical crocodile. Just like the wagyein, he'd feel connected to it in a very personal way. Also just like the wagyein I think Ivan would be the only person it would never harm. In my head I have the mental image of Ivan petting and cuddling it as if it were a puppy.

What are your thoughts on f1 ships like Lestappen, and the shippers themselves (Lestappies)?

honestly i just think it’s a bit of good fun. obviously they’re real people with real spouses and partners, but it’s not hurting anybody. i think it’s a little suspicious that the social admins are starting to use the ship names and that could potentially lead to some controversy surrounding shipping culture and the chronically online side of f1, but for now i think it’s fine. pierre gasly has said he is aware of and even reads fanfiction of himself, and enjoys it, so there’s one person for team “rpf is fine” i suppose. as far as shippers themselves go, it’s nothing new. just teenage girl culture. i do think it’s interesting to see how different types of people gravitate toward different ships. there’s a lot of layers to shipping and fandom culture and how it changes a fandom, but it’s been a part of f1 for years, and i think the only reason it’s becoming so prevalent these days is because of the role the media and the fans play in the sport itself.

send me your f1 hot takes!

It should be a criminal offense if an insurance company is responsible for a delay in a policyholder's necessary health care.

Withholding prescribed treatments, even for just a day, can be anywhere from inconvenient to catastrophic for the victim. Medical providers may not withhold necessary treatment from any patient on any grounds, as it is their duty to provide it-- it should be justly illegal for any "middle man" to interfere with a medical provider's legal and ethical obligation to treat a patient.

Severity of the charge and its legal consequences should depend upon the scope of the offense (length of delay) and its consequences to the victim (impact on the person).

The testimonies of the victim, the pharmacy, and the medical provider who prescribed the treatment should be key considerations for the determination. Additional important testimony should come from the victim's other medical providers, housemates, family, educators/mentors, colleagues/coworkers, or employers.

The charge should become criminal record for the company. The company (perhaps the agent's office) should be fined per day delayed.

Some taxation can be applied; just to pay off the folks who do the filing, advocacy, testimony, processing. A hefty majority of the fine should be compensation owed to the victim.

If delays became a criminal charge on companies' records, then companies would have a strong motive to terminate agents who aren't performing with punctuality. It would become their best financial interest to invest only in timely agents who would, in turn, gain a best interest to invest only in timely subordinates.

I posit that insurance delays would wane significantly, resulting in more timely delivery of treatments to policyholders, and many people's qualities of life would improve drastically for it.

My Forbidden OP Headcanon is that if there is an island with a functioning society exclusively for gay drag queens, the Kamabakka Queendom, then the opposite island should also exist; an island for lesbian drag kings, Nabebakka Kingdom

That said, if Momoiro Island is literally heart shaped and all cutesy and pink and frilly, then like. The island opposite of that would be like. Ballsack Island. And Oda can't put that in a kid's manga

watched a majora's mask analysis earlier today with my fiancee. my verdict is that I actually really enjoyed the op's interpretations, but that I wished that they talked more about mm's literal level and what one can get from it, rather than talking about those events as if they are strictly metaphor. yes, of course the metaphorical layer of the game is rich to dig into, but it's also such an open-ended and surreal game that it's difficult to nail down every single distinct metaphor that can be derived from its events. which is why I consider it necessary to discuss the way the literal layer presents itself and what sort of motifs and ideas exist there as a baseline before you begin looking at it as metaphor
