what are some bad habits of some people

[gotham-response]

Someone mentioned to one of the new interns that I bit ManBat and now they're all refusing to go anywhere near my face.

Also one of them just screamed ,like my guy it's Kite-Man. Not scarecrow, chill out.

Gutless cowards. If they can't handle this, then they shouldn't be in emergency med, full stop. Send names and I'll bring the next group of Scarecrow patients to them

baby grip deterrent vs baby grip fail

[ID: two digital monochrome drawings of three original, stylised Flatland characters - named Atlas, Chief Jr and Stella - on cream backgrounds.

Atlas is a light grey isosceles triangle with scars on his side and eye, chips in his top and bottom corner, one central eye, black limbs and a black tail. Chief Jr is a circle with black limbs, a black tail, one central eye, and is wearing a black crown. Stella is a small, vaguely humanoid character with an eye for a head.

In the first photo on the left, Atlas is standing proudly with a dark grey scarf coming from behind his body, tied together at each end. He has one hand on the scarf and the other is hanging down. His tail is held up to his right. He is smiling while looking behind himself. There is an arrow pointing to the right of the image, showing Atlas’s back. The scarf continues around his back, making a sling with Stella nestled inside it. She is looking up at Atlas with a wide eye. There is writing next to her that says “itty bitty…”.

In the second photo, Chief is standing and holding Stella - who is swaddled in a white blanket. She is staring up at him with a wide eye and holding onto one of his bottom eyelashes. Chief is looking ahead with an absent stare and a lowered brow in an annoyed expression. The tip of his tail is also twitching in an irritated manner.

End ID.]

Im fucking frightened of apes in a visceral sort of way. i can see myself reflected in their eyes but then a chimp could interpret me staring at it as a challenge and rip my arms off

[i-am-ki11ing-time]

[montecrizto]

when she asks wyd but you’re full on sobbing along while valjean is the recipient of sincere pity for the first time in his life . will you tell her that you’re crying bc myriel said that he’s home and that he’s better than anyone if he holds onto his benevolence and good nature even after what he went through

fondly remembering that time I was working as a cashier when I was 19-20 and my former bus driver and his wife came through. He says to me "Hey, you look familiar" and I reply "Yes, I was one of the bus kids you drove, specifically the one you screamed at and threatened to ban from the bus and make walk home because I was crying out in pain while the other kids were ripping huge chunks of hair out of my head but you did nothing about them." and his wife slowly looked at him like this

[hyper-pixels]

Please please PLEASE if you have a cat with long hair that easily gets matted and tangled, don't force them to be brushed. Let them have a say when they need to stop or want to examine the brush

Cringe culture is dead unless it's the asshole who abused you and your friend.

i love how as you read more into tlt, the ninth house seems more and more normal. Like if i'm at an immoral evil government competition, and i use human fat as soap and animate skeletons to do menial labor, i'm gonna LOSE if my competition is the third house, represented by ianthe "who HASN'T eaten human flesh and fucked a corpse" tridentarius. My weird skeleton thing seems normal, suddenly. Well-adjusted, even. It's recycling. They're using resources in a sustainable way. Normal and regular and productive for a post-climate change apocalypse universe.

People go on and on about how Muir drops you into gtn hearing from the person who knows the least about whats happening, and does not hand hold the reader through the crazy shit that occurs, and that's all true. It truly is a crazy writing decision to make your first pov character come from the universe's equivalent of amish fundamentalists. But the reader is actually done a huge favor being dropped into the ninth house first, because we already understand that space is cold and what catholic nuns are, and what goths look like, and what lesbians are. Very little time is wasted in the first chunk of gtn ripping hair out of your head wondering what the fuck is going on, because for all of its strangeness, the ninth house is already the most familiar thing we're gonna get.

Because THEN we learn that this whole universe's medieval chivalry system is designed to groom people from CHILDREN to not only be exploited and used as human batteries for necromancers, but to LIKE it. to wax poetic about it. to confuse it for love, to write fucking academic papers about it! Then we learn about planet flipping, an act so horrific and violent it turns the planet's soul into a massive vengeful monster capable of killing GOD. Like what do you MEAN the animals "change"? Is this why noodle has six legs? I would MUCH prefer to wear skeleton makeup and repent forever if the alternative was to witness my family dog grow TWO EXTRA LIMBS because the planet he lived on fucking died. Suddenly, living in the asscrack of a planet where no light gets in seems like a sweet deal when the whole solar system is lit by a sun that MAKES YOU GO CRAZY. The ninth house's WORST sin, killing 200 babies to make Harrow, a waste of resources and an act so terrible it haunts Harrow for the entire span of her life, is like a BLIP compared to the death count Jod's empire. God even hears about it and he's like, no big deal! The cohort probably kills that amount of people in a DAY.

And its ALSO tragic because you realize that all of this trauma and abuse that Gideon goes through is not really because of the ninth house at all. It's really just an individual skill issue that she wasn't treated with compassion. Nobody hated her because she's jesus or a bomb, nobody even KNOWS she's a bomb. It's just Priamhark and Pelleamena being deeply guilty and scared people that motivates her treatment, and absolutely nothing else.

They did something bad, and they know it, and Gideon survived it, and they can't kill her to cover it up, and that's IT. They killed themselves for pride, because they were afraid of the consequences of their actions (both the baby killing and Harrow opening the tomb) coming back to bite them. You can argue this is the catholicism of it all, and I wouldn't say you're wrong, but compared to the cavalier system, where exploitation is in the very lining of the house's institutions, the ninth house is really removed from the space empire's blood factory. This is compared to the fourth house where they have tons of children to be CANNON FODDER to join the cohort at fucking 14, compared to the eight house uncle nephew fuckery, even the fifth house which actually does seems nice to live on but also seems to have the fourth house in some sort of fucked up political bear hug??? (maybe the fourth house has so many kids in order to fight the fifth's battles? which is EXACTLY what jod's whole empire is about; politely stirring your tea and acting nice while you destroy everything) compared to ALL OF THAT, the cruelty that Gideon faces is really more a bug of the ninth's system than a feature.

There's nothing baked into the culture and everyday life of the ninth house that necessitated that cruelty; in fact, for such a pragmatic and resource-scarce place, it's WEIRD that a strong able-bodied young person was treated like a waste of space and resources. It could just have easily not happened, if Harrow's parents had been different people. Maybe they were products of their environment, but so was Harrow, and she values Gideon's life SO MUCH that she'd literally rather carve out parts of her own brain than exploit her. Gideon grows up knowing really NOTHING about cavaliers, so remote from the horrors of the empire that she develops an idea of what the cohort is from porn magazines. And in a lot of ways, that upbringing was desolate and terrible, and in a lot of other ways it literally DID NOT HAVE TO BE.

Gideon's MAIN THING is that she wants to be useful, to be needed, to be loved and it SUCKS that she couldn't even get it in the one place where she was actually an invaluable resource, where the death empire had the weakest reach. Gideon can't even blame her lack of love on the fucked up chivalry system like everyone else can because it JUST WASNT REALLY RELEVENT!?!?! This is like if i rolled up to the trauma competition and everyone else was raised in a nuclear warzone by wolves or something and i grew up in like, the suburbs and was raised by teachers and i somehow STILL WON. truly what the fuck guys.
