Remember, when Jeff Hope (cabbie) hit young Lestrade? Greg should have dealt with him then. Would spare him 4 murder-suicides 15 years later...

while we're talking about older queer/trans cinema, a shoutout to Different For Girls (1996) starring Steven Mackintosh (as Kim) and Rupert Graves as her cis boyfriend (who you'll recognise as Lestrade from Sherlock)
anyway obvious caveats for a trans woman played by a cis actor, but this is a tender and understated british film with a lot of humour and (after some police brutality because hey, you can't do London Metropolitan police rep without portraying the reality) it has a happy ending, big surprise for trans 90s cinema
also Miriam Margolyes being kickarse as usual as Kim's boss
and you can watch it on youtube

Okay I know this has probably been said before, but like-- the way tallman Chilchuck carries Marcille around (albeit like a football but still), the way he braids her hair like his daughters' later-- I may be way off but I kinda feel like in the same way we all looked at tallman Chilchuck and went 'wow yeah his age really hits home now' the middle-aged Chilchuck looked at a (early twenties-equivalent?) Marcille who was now translated into his own race and just went 'ah shit that's a baby'

Damian, handing Bruce a piece of paper with a very neat calendar on it: father, I will be taking a step back from my participation in our nightly patrols. I have carefully considered factors such as, but not limited to, school tests, most likely days for breakouts and when other people will be available. Here is my schedule.
Bruce: any particular reason you are stepping back from Robin?
Damian: I have reached an acceptable age and am by far mature enough, so I will be participating in Ramadan this year, father. Afterwards I will pick my duties up as normal, but with changed sleeping and eating patterns, this is the most logical step for now.
Bruce, who grew up with a jewish mother and christian father who were intent to raise him on some weird mix of the two, then a second father who was atheist, proceeded to lose his entire way in any form of religion due to losing himself in his teen years, took in Jewish boy, then a catholic one with religious trauma, then an atheist one who had no idea how to even approach the idea of religion, followed up by a pagan girl and already making seven different mental lists of things he will need to research, how to add aspects of Islam into their weird family holidays and trying desperately to show his support for his son: ....hnn
Damian: thank you father
