What if I said it's a little bit Owen coded? Would I be right?

"Another self-referential touch comes at a scene in a tavern when Sir Percy, in disguise as a fat gap-toothed cross-eyed sailor, places a pepper pot on Chauvelin’s table (Way, p. 196). This apparently innocuous gesture, carried out with slow deliberation and accompanied by Sir Percy’s distinctive laugh, produces an instantaneous reaction from Chauvelin. He clenches his knife and fork, his cheeks turn ashen grey, and he strides quickly out of the room. This is a double humiliation, betraying emotional weakness and underlining Sir Percy’s power over him. Having failed to penetrate the disguise, he is depicted as a gullible victim of the Englishman."

*puts away megaphone*

Actually, no, I need to-*pulls out megaphone again* DO Y'ALL THINK BARONESS WAS AWARE THAT AS HER UNIVERSE BECAME SERIALIZED, THE SISYPHEAN NATURE OF THE VILLAIN'S BATTLE AGAINST THE HERO WOULD MAKE HIM INCREASINGLY PITIABLE? DID SHE REALISE THAT SHE WAS SLOWLY TURNING HER VILLAIN INTO A SYMPATHETIC PROTAGONIST AND MAKING HER HERO A TERRIFYING, MERCILESS FORCE OF NATURE?

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.

the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.

i had like, fifteen raw eggs.

i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.

except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.

so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.

Anyone knows that feeling when a medical condition that's been making you suffer so so bad starts to get better due to medical intervention and you're like "That's weird. I feel better. That's weird. It feels like I'm not supposed to. Surely it is a test. If I relax and admit that I'm getting better, if I dare to do a nice daily activity, surely I'll immediately be in pain. Surely, right then and there, the world will laugh at me. It must be just a cruel joke and the punchline is me thinking I might enjoy life again." and therefore feel super anxious and like pain HAS to strike any second now?

Or is that just me?

Personally I think that Azula should have been redeemed simply so that she can become Zuko's horrible little advisor who whispers evil little plans to him so that he can do the exact opposite

I feel like there are a lot of people out there who needs to hear this:

If you dropped out of school because of diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, Autism, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia etc… You did not fail. The education system failed you.

No you’re not hearing me. It’s the way that entire gala is referencing this panel. He’s canonically cosplaying Viktor Nikiforov. It’s all from the halloween party comic. Are you listening. Do you hear me. They healed them. This panel was the only gumlee moment for like 7 years. Do you understand.

One of the perks of living in Gotham is that occasionally you’ll walk past a Wayne having the most batshit insane conversation anybody has ever had.

Walk past Dick Grayson on the street and hear him say into his phone, “I don’t think he’s anti-vax, but Superman is definitely not vaccinated.”

Stand outside of the downtown WE building and see Tim Drake walk out with his tall friend only to pause and say, “Hold on, I just got the mental image of Lex Luthor pregnant. Thanks for that.”

A lucky few who ride the same subway line as the newest Wayne edition, overheard Duke tell Stephanie that living in Wayne Manor is, “Alright, but when I moved in Jason and Damian gave me a knife and said I had to kill Tim. Said it was tradition.”

“It kinda is. Did you do it?”

“No!” Duke says, to the relief of the overhearers. “Get this…he stabbed himself.”

“…yeah, I should’ve guessed that.”

The downside to living in Gotham is literally everything else.
