it answers questions…

[egophiliac]

a bunch of assorted episode 7 stuff from the last couple of days! because they're still taking over my entire brain! (I keep forgetting that the diasomnia uniform has that weird spike...chain...thing on the back. do you think when they get bored they, like, throw balloons at each other and whoever pops one first wins? is this what the dialounge is like in the off-hours?)

hey when do we get to see maskless red Lilia. please Twst I'm dying over here

[friendstolobsters]

I love that the space prossie spotted the kids and immediately was like NOPE baby's come here you have to leave now

[ghostinthetumbchine]

i wish harriet got more screen time tbh i feel like they suggest a lot of really interesting things about her but her presence in the game is very weak compared to the other visionaries even frank who shares the morning with her yk.

I wonder if anyone working on the show realizes that, thanks to the way they've fucked up Shannon and Chris' birthdates since Eddie Begins, that they now have her being seventeen when she had him. That if they reconnected during Eddie's senior year, than either she skipped a year or he knocked up someone a year below him and then married her before she graduated.

(There're reasons I ignore the dates on her headstone, and why the writers for 8x01 deserve scorn.)

((cause if he turned 14 in September 2024, then he was born in September 2010, instead of 2011 as Eddie Begins claimed, which is a month before she would have turned 18, according to the headstone dates.))

(((if she was only 17 - and presumably still in school - then why were they surprised when her mother made it to the hospital? I always thought it implied her mother was living in LA by that time. But if she was 17, and a high schooler, then-)))

Thinking about Omega and Sonic again.

I'M PROGRAMMED TO HATE YOU. I HAVE YOUR MOVESET DOWNLOADED INTO MY BRAIN. THE ONLY REASON MY PROCESSOR IS ADVANCED ENOUGH TO GRANT ME SENTIENCE IS SO THAT I COULD THINK FAST ENOUGH TO KILL YOU.

BUT I DON'T HATE YOU.

. . . ONLY OUT OF SPITE.

---

Woah, you were designed to kill me! Your head swivels to follow me whenever I'm in the room no matter what else you should be looking at. You move the same way all the rest of them do. You raise your arm and for a moment I think you're firing a missile. . . you're actually trying to give me a high five.

That's okay though- I mean, you always seem to know my next move before I make it, so I'll just have to learn yours. Don't worry about it. I'm good. We're good.

honestly it’s pretty insane that they introduced madelyn stillwell’s son in season 3 episode 2 AND the kid has powers and they just never mentioned it again

[choface]

And I should like to call on Miss Cowper a moment if that is allowed

......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"

*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all

Dick Grayson's unmatched success as a child vigilante makes a lot more sense when you remember the Court of Owls was a thing and that Dick was meant to be the next Grey Son.

There is no way that someone at Haly's Circus wasn't there keeping an eye on him while he grew up. A future weapon needs to be trained and monitored after all, and a circus, a place where weird skills are completely normal, is actually a great place to secretly train a child.

You know, just some knife tricks that translated really well into actual fighting. How to get out of restraints and pick locks while under a time limit. Death defying acrobatic stunts that coincidentally do wonders for parkouring. That sort of thing. Nothing that seems out of place for a boy growing up around circus performers to learn, but would literally any where else.

I mean, while I fully believe that most kids would want to kill the man responsible for their parents deaths, Dick was weirdly prepared to go through it. He tracked down Zucco with way more ease than any normal child should have too. He became the first child vigilante, for goodness sake. The first Robin! He only started getting formal training after he basically forced Bruce into it!

Bruce himself has no idea that this kind of competency in a child is unusual, considering he was much too blinded by the similarities between his and Dick's tragic orphanhoods.

Alfred is in a similar boat because he’s desensitized to weird children after he somehow managed to successfully raise Bruce 'The Batman' Wayne, so he doesn't clock the hyper-competency as abnormal either.

By the time the other batkids start popping up (Jason 'The Audacity' Todd, borderline-street rat with no fear) (Tim 'the greatest stalker in Gotham history' Drake, child genius, also bullied his way into becoming Robin) (Barbara 'raised by the only uncorrupt cop in gotham' Gordon) (Stephanie 'daddy issues and spite' Brown) (Duke 'Pretends he's the normal one and people believe him' Thomas) it's too late.

It would also explain how Dick got along so well with Damian out of all of them. Similar childhood with different approaches and all that. On some subconscious level, Dick recognises and resonates with the murderous ten year old assassin with strong familial ties to a secret elite assassin organization.

It isn't until after the whole Court of Owls and Grey Son reveal that suddenly Dick realises a whole lot of things about his childhood that suddenly make a lot more sense.

Absolutely insane that she said this while doing Chase on the reg

I love it when my irl friends know I'm aroace because it means I can just hug them without them feeling like there are any scary obligations or implications there.

My best friend at college said it best I think:

"Sometimes I think I want a boyfriend, but then I realize. No. I really just want a hug. And then I go and find you and I get a hug and then I don't want a boyfriend anymore."

Like. Bro. Sometimes my friends just need a hug without having to worry about anything else. And I'm so glad that I'm capable of giving it to them.

Anyway, shoutout to all my online friends that I can't hug, I'm giving you a virtual one!
