#but it did occur to me

in terms of a side we don't always get of Bruce in Batman media -- I always think about the scene in the short-lived show Life with Damian Lewis. He plays a cop who was in prison (long story) and one day he and his partner track down a suspect/accomplice in a serious crime and corner the man in an old dilapidated house.

I don't remember exactly what happened, but it involved the suspect trying to shoot at them and one of them shooting him fatally. Most cop shows would leave it at that -- a criminal tried to shoot them, he got shot, nothing bad happened.

But Damian Lewis' character goes up to the man he just shot and he holds him as he dies. He shows the audience that he knows that the suspect was scared, on drugs, and didn't really mean to shoot at them. He sets down the gun and gathers the suspect in his arms.

And he shows him mercy by whispering to him, gently, that it was just a dream. He tells the suspect to go back to sleep like a father would, to not think about it. He softly guides the man into a slightly more peaceful death, with a kind of tenderness that shocks and upsets his partner and colleagues.

That's the kind of Batman we sometimes miss. The one who would hold a scared and confused criminal, who didn't mean to do something, who got caught up in something bad and isn't truly evil, and pretend like everything was going to be alright for someone's last 30 seconds on earth.

A Batman capable of great violence and great empathy.

Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.

"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."

translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"

It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!

very this

"essek stays away post-canon because he doesn't want to endanger the nein while he's on the run" absolutely valid, but also i raise you: essek knows about the one (1) time the nein were in charge of protecting an important mage and she survived approximately one week before getting violently murdered while they were — direct quote — "havin' bacon"

Here's what I'm thinking about on this fine evening: Ketterdam has a HUGE CANAL SYSTEM that runs pretty much through the entire city and I, somehow, completely missed that.

Here's the Ketterdam map, right? We know her. We love her.

BUT, let's zoom in a little:

You can see very clearly here that those thicker, darker colored lines connect distinctly into the harbor, which means that they are ALSO WATER.

So, if a person with a Six of Crows obsession and maybe a little too much time on their hands were to take that map and color it so that all of the water was blue, it would look something like this:

Now, I may just be stupid, but I'd like to believe there is at least one other person who will be as baffled upon seeing this post as I was when I made this realization. It's water!! Canals are a major form of transportation in Ketterdam!! This not only is very interesting to me in regards to Ketterdam’s culture, but it also changed the way I pictured the city in my head. This is life-changing stuff, people.
