#but this is fucking RIDICULOUS

[hopelessfandomfreak]

how did they so badly fumble diego, lila and five’s character arcs?? like how do you screw all three of them over so fantastically?? I just do not understand where the writers came from and why in the world they thought any of it was a good idea or would be well received

[arabaka]

im so sorry but this is just delusional smh

[hyper-pixels]

Hm

Anyone planned on telling me these two were the same person or was I just supposed to accidentally stumble upon this little factoid myself?

As someone in the process of graduating? Let me tell you a story.

You are, as far as can be determined by looks, a cishetallo, neurotypical, abled, female. You may not be any or all of those things, but you are seen as such. On a day of graduation practice, you eat toaster waffles for breakfast and then walk to school.

You complete graduation practice, and as you stand in line to get your cap and gown to bring home, you start to realize that the toaster waffles had gone bad and you now have a mild case of food poisoning. Because of this, you need to go to the bathroom once you pick up your things.

In the bathroom, you are being quiet in a stall and using the bathroom for its intended purpose. Because you are ill, you’re taking a while. Eventually, a male administrator leans into the girls’ restroom and yells “is there someone in there?”

“Yes,” you respond, assuming someone’s hiding out in a bathroom again. This happens, they need to be found, it’s fine. No. He’s looking for you.

“Hurry up in there!”

“I’m trying my best!” you yell back, panicking a little. The building is staying open for hours, you can be there a little late, you don’t have a bus to catch, and you don’t have a class after this. There’s nothing you would be hurrying up to get to.

As you do your best to hurry up, you start to hear an aggressive jingling. He is jingling his keys at you like a cat to try and make you hurry. Since you’re already going as fast as you can, this doesn’t speed anything up at all. Eventually, you finally finish up shortly after he gives up on the key thing. You leave and go home.

Everyone, tell me. When did you decide this was satire? Where did you think the school in this story was set? Which detail did you first decide was a lie?

I’ll give you the answers. It’s not satire, the school is one of the highest testing high schools in one of the highest testing districts in Virginia in the US, and any lies are purely due to me avoiding details on the actual bathroom usage. Everyone who hears this thinks I’m making it up, but I promise that this was a real experience I really had literally yesterday. Why do we do this to our kids? Why do we refuse to acknowledge that they have needs? Why do we shame them for literally just needing the bathroom? Why are we this fucking cruel that this is one of the least tense interactions with school officials I’ve had when trying to use the restroom? We need to fucking do better.

adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.

children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

[causticsunshine]

in case anyone was having a really shit day and needed to feel better about it:

this afternoon i lost over 900 US dollars just looking at hotels!! simply because i put my card info in on the checkout page of this one i was looking at deals on!

literally didn't even check out or anything! i hit the back button assuming everything was fine as it should have been and then i got an email like seven seconds later saying woo your room is booked! i only clicked on the link in the first place because it was initially an actual website for the hotel chain and the price featured for rooms was feasible so to be safe on the payment page i put my info in like what a steal! but then whoa! the price literally TRIPLED which included a $370 random fee so i backed out like nooo way for two nights? and not even a fancy ass hotel? but no! it auto charged!! and it took my money right away!

doesn't help that the scammy booking site is super sus and makes it impossible to get in contact with anyone so i had to call 5 separate numbers to finally get put on with a real person and then they made ME play phone tag with the actual hotel to get 'permission' from them to cancel and refund the booking because they don't 'allow' refunds?? then they still acted sus when i called them back with both verbal permission AND a clear note on the booking giving them permission to both cancel AND refund me, so now i have to wait 2 days to see if they continue to scam me of what money now or if they give me my money back, OR wait up to the end of next week to see if my bank thinks it's fraudulent enough to dispute the claim i spent forty minutes filing and get me my money back. and sure it might help that both the hotel receptionist AND the banking agent both told me the company sounded like a scam and that i should file a claim asap but idk right now!

regardless. i don't even have a paycheck to my name rn and i don't get paid until next week on top of not knowing when i'm going to get paid back for some big purchases i covered lately so i’m extra in the bin financially rn.

i hope you guys are getting on better than me!

Dead on main au where

1. Danny wears a 1/2 face mask as a ghost to make sure his parents don’t find out who he is

2. The decision to start wearing the mask was a spontaneous thing that happened at school and he stole the mask from his high school’s theater department

3. Danny moves to Gotham as soon as he turns 18 on a scholarship but it doesn’t include dorm fees.

4. Danny hides out in an abandoned theater (the attic is surprisingly well insulated!!!!) and spends most of his time there as a ghost because he can’t anywhere else in Gotham.

5. An injured Red hood limps his way into one of his favorite old hideouts (the theater obviously), and promptly passes out from blood loss with the hazy image of a masked glowing spector as the last thing he sees.

6. He wakes up enough to hear soft reassurances of safety and feel cool hands carry him with no noticeable strain.

7. Jason comes to in a giant nest of blankets with his wound neatly stitched up, a killer headache, and a sticky note wishing him well/ promising the writer didn’t leak under the helmet (a fact Jason is well aware of considering his head is very much unexploded)

8. Jason tries to leave but he passes out again and is honestly too tired to try again when he comes back around. So he just…falls asleep.

9. Jason wakes up again to warm food on an old silver tray and an empty room, not knowing Danny is watching him from the corner to make sure he doesn’t fall again. Not that Danny wouldn’t catch him again, but he’d prefer it didn’t happen at all.

In short, Danny plays elusive nurse to the dangerous red hood while Jason sees a literal ghost that lives in an abandoned theater wearing a phantom of the opera mask and decides he’s found a keeper. Clearly he appreciates the drama.

silly comic idea I've been chipping away at :) welcome tomy shadowheart poly shipping propaganda show

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire

The youtube app on my tablet now does this really cool thing when it plays an ad where it boots my video out of full-screen so it can show the ad link on the sidebar

This is a really cool feature that I super enjoy
