Quite genuinely and respectfully, you have no knowledge of how much money it costs to invent things. Nor do you understand that Batman is a comic book character and his wealth is a catch all for his billions upon billions of dollars worth of money. It’s literally just so writers can handwave that he can afford [x] item.
okay, controversial batman opinion time! it ruins the character for him to be a billionaire, and he’s only a billionaire because too many people think ‘billionaire’ just means ‘millionaire but cooler’. bruce wayne should just be a millionaire. 
a millionaire has enough money to buy a batcave, a fancy batmobile, a supercomputer, a bunch of esoteric custom-made tools and toys, a couple companies that make enough money to fund a playboy lifestyle and a bunch of high-tech vigilante superheroes. millionaires today, even with inflation, can commission the creation of pretty much any physical item short of their own spaceship, and some of them can even do that. 
a billionaire has enough money to own entire cities and write their own laws and do whatever the fuck they want basically all the time, anywhere. look at disney, tesla, amazon, nestle, walmart. these guys are playing on an almost inconceivable global scale and they are not your friend. these are lex luthor motherfuckers. 
the question keeps being asked, ‘if bruce wayne is so rich, it’s ridiculous that he’s using all that money to run around in a bat costume punching mentally ill people’, and that’s correct if he’s got money on a billionaire’s scale. it’s absurdly irresponsible to have the kind of power that could change how a nation operates, much less local government, and just play night time punch guy with it. batman is the bad guy there. 
but say batman’s ‘just’ a millionaire. he’s the heir of a couple old money families, he’s got a mansion and some land and a private jet, he’s in with the elite of gotham, he can put some pressure on the mayor and the city council and the police– but he’s still on a level with half a dozen other families who have their own millions to throw around, their own ambitions. he can’t actually fix gotham just by throwing money at it, because he will run out of money before all the other rich guys do. 
in this situation, batman does make sense for bruce wayne to invent: a secret guy no one can pin on wayne industries, who can run around taking on organized crime and supervillains at the same time, who isn’t beholden to the social or legal conventions that the superwealthy also flout to play their fucked up games with each other. batman can actually do what a single millionaire can’t. 
batman gets written by batman fanboys to be a power fantasy, but with great power comes great responsibility, etc. at a certain level of wealth his power far outstrips his purpose, and being batman is actually irresponsible for bruce wayne. a hero’s limitations make for better stories. stop writing batman as a billionaire, already. 
#ok genuinely and respectfully#you have absolutely no idea how much it costs to build things#this man has a CUSTOM JET#and sponsored THE CREATION OF THE WATCHTOWER. A PRIVATELY OWNED SPACE STATION#even Bruce couldn’t purchase the entirety of the Watchtower that would cost trillions.#be ffr right now#not only that this man puts so much money into charity. HAS A FUCKING BATCAVE ON. THE. MOON!!!!!#AND JUST SO SO MUCH MORE SHIT.#like girl I’m sorry there is no fucking way he could afford all of these things if he was a billionaire#is this me crashing out bc it’s late when I write this? yes absolutely. I stand by it tho.#it always makes me sad when takes like this get this many notes#like sure. complain all you want about male power fantasies but this is such a tumblr take it’s exhausting#absorb any sense of reality and think for just a SECOND how much it costs to fund enough of the Watchtower that it becomes an#actual problem in the comics.#the international space station cost 150 BILLION DOLLARS#the first part of the ISS was sent into space in 1998z#not only does inflation change that drastically#but Bruce would be fucking bankrupt.#additionally: i don’t think you know this#but it’s literally just meant to be a narrative device to handwave any expense that Batman might have#because: might I remind you that THIS IS A COMIC BOOK CHARACTER#now add that to a fucking lunar batcave. hundreds of Batmobile iterations. zeta beam tech funding. the hundreds of bat tech used in comics.#and just so much more#queue#this has me actually seething. tell me you know absolutely nothing about the cost of literally anything Batman has paid without telling me#breaking news: someone with an absolutely incorrect opinion has thousands upon thousands of notes. more at 11

Do we really believe that the only people who knew Harrow’s parents were dead were Harrow, Gideon, Crux, and Aiglemene? Like surely there was a point where a nun realized that no one’s seen the Reverend Parents eat a single thing in years? That they haven’t spoken a single word since Harrow was 10? Like I get Harrow told everyone that they took vows of fasting and silence and a bunch of other things, but there’s gotta be a point where it starts lookin a little sus right? Does Harrow make them blink and breathe? Harrows a necromantic prodigy but surely there’s no way she’s been flawlessly puppeteering two whole ass people since she was 10 years old
But no one’s ever brought it up cause you can’t just ask the Reverend Daughter if her parents are dead what are you crazy?

For how obsessed this site is with dilfs (right opinion btw) I am so utterly disappointed that none of y'all are thirsting over Phlox as much as HE DESERVES!!
Tumblr media
LOOK! AT! HIM!
And it isn't that some of the writers on Enterprise aren't aware of his appeal. They confirm to us sooo many times that PHLOX FUCKS!! That he's CARING and SOFT AND SHY! He's the perfect soft man outside of denobulan mating season, and you can't tell me that this man wouldn't absolutely wreck holes during it.
I stan a polyamorous king, and I know it. He'd treat me right.

"There's so much action they won't have time for personal stuff next season that's why Milkvan has resolution already"
You're talking about the writers who literally wrote four characters out of the supernatural plot just to make 100% of their screentime about their personal lives. I don't think you know their priorities like you think you do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^These were both happening at the same midway point of their season arcs. They literally ignored the supernatural almost entirely in an entire plotline, so no, I don't think they're the type to deprioritize their characters which are intrinsically tied to their themes in favor of cool action sequences and only cool action sequences (also that pacing would be awful, personal plots exist for a reason: action reprieve).
Like- episode 8 cuts from them talking about the meaning of love in a car to El having just closed a gate to another dimension after seeing all of her siblings brutally tortured and killed. Bestie I do not think they care about "wasting time" on personal plots, nor do they think of it that way. Even season 2 wrote in that telling Will how important he was to them was required for the supernatural plot. They cannot exist without one another and the writers consistently move around the supernatural plot to make room for it. Just because you skip those scenes doesn't mean they don't exist. Didn't you notice how MUCH you skipped?

Simple designs that don’t have the whole nail coloured are a good masc choice! Like these (taken from Pinterest)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also - lots of layers, esp short layers, can help long hair look more masc when done right
Oooh!! Those are some funk fresh designs, thank you! And thank you for the hair advice, I’ve been at a loss with mine for so long. You have helped more than I can say, thank you so much!

Bucky is so not thinking about Steve in this moment😂😂😂 He wouldn't even remember Steve's name, if you asked him. He was focused on Sam and nothing else (not even the fight he was in the middle of😂)

Excuse me where can I watch the whole thing?!?!?
Michael Sheen: Around this time last year in the build up to the Homeless World Cup it was a really tough time, it was a really stressful time going on for me. And because it did coincide with Good Omens coming out and me becoming aware of this fandom happening, starting to grow, that really helped me to get through that period of time. And people didn’t know that they were doing that for me but I really want to thank everybody who just poured so much positivity and love and creativity into their responses to Good Omens and without realizing it you got me through that period. I’m a bit choked up now but you really helped me through that period of time and that’s why I want to put so much commitment into what is possible through this fandom and fandoms like it and how much you can… you know I really believe that you can change people’s life, because you changed my life and so that is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
