read green arrow rebirth and now I'm thinking about the fucking Library that would be required to maintain any sort of Roy/Jason living arrangement

non fiction is literally everything from quantum mechanics to south china sea trade circa 1850, fiction is a horse we've beat to death ofc

they have to buy a house together because they have chronic "what if I need this again at some unspecified time" disease and can't let go of a single thing

The worst trauma comes from those who you love

I don't really believe in separating the art from the artist, but I remember how much it hurt when I found out Rowling was an absolutely shit person and so I do worry about the Gaiman fans out there who are in pain because of the article that was dropped today. I hope this helps.

Jason, edgelord since day one. Who also happens to read classic literature. Wearing leather even in medieval times because of course he is. Don’t ask me how he got those soles on his boots.

Still to come are yet more bats who can’t sit straight.

Everyone thinks that dick was the golden child when in reality it was Jason.

Clark: Bruce who was your favourite robin?

Dick: obviously it’s me?

Tim: it’s dick

Damian: I am superior robin, it will be me.

Bruce: it’s Jason

Everyone: WHAT?!?!???

Bruce: why are you so surprised? He didn’t jump on too my chandeliers which I had to replace each week

*everyone looks at dick*

Bruce: he didn’t drop out of school

*everyone looks at tim*

Bruce: I didn’t have to stop him from killing everyone who annoyed him

*everyone looks at Damian*

Bruce: in fact, he enjoyed school and handed all his homework in on time, we would spend hours in the library reading his favourite classics. He even helped Alfred with most of the cooking, He was my little boy

Jason: stop spreading lies, I hate you go away

Bruce: my precious little boy

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

I’ve seen multiple “Best Death Personification” brackets on this website, and every time the Discworld fandom turns up en masse to vote for Discworld Death, and it’s always deserved, and it’s always funny. A horde of book nerds rising up in defence of their collective grandfather.

Dear authors,

The phrase "crocodile tears" should be used to reference someone who is faking an emotion. It's not about the tears or crying themselves. Definitely not about a quantity of tears cried or sobs involved. (Fun fact: there's also a condition nicknamed "crocodile tears." It causes sufferers to shed tears after eating or drinking after recovering from damage to a facial nerve.)

Apparently, this phrase is derived from an Egyptian fable that said that crocodiles shed tears while eating their prey.

I've seen several authors use "crocodile tears" to describe the tears of a child or innocent person. Seemingly trying to convey the emotion is too large or impactful for such a person. If you need a new word, try describing someone as sobbing, wailing, or even blubbering. Or perhaps inconsolable, disconsolate, or heartbroken.

The distinction between real and false emotions is very important.

Earnestly,

An avid reader

well read women are so attractive. yes i do want to hear about the character that you've psychoanalyzed. and yes i want you to explain the entirety of the lore and setting of that book series you're reading right now

Been rereading Little Women recently... or technically, properly reading it for the first time. The last time I touched this book was when I was ten, and the book I touched was a shortened chinese edition (or was it just the first half? anyway) Here are the sisters in 21 century post covid and I think Beth would've loved the groundbreaking invention that is the Hoodie
