Prompt:

Tim is the first to find out the Red Hood’s identity and from then on sticks to Jason during patrol like glue (much to Jason’s chagrin, dammit, it would feel wrong to beat up Robin when he’s that starry eyed…)

Cue: PANIC from the rest of the Batfamily, who still think Hood is a forty-something year old crime lord and now assume they’re dating.

Cole isn’t in Veilguard because he would have forced everyone to sit and talk and that would fix everything too quickly.

to me it's all linked

• in mummy on the orient express, clara lies to danny about traveling and says i love you to the doctor while on the phone with him (danny).

• in death in heaven, clara tells danny that she won't ever say 'i love you' to anyone else ever again

• in face the raven, clara stops the doctor from telling her he loves her

• in hell bent, after learning the doctor spent 4.5B years in a torture chamber to get her back, clara decides they should say all they left unsaid

btw when i say first and second points are linked i mean it in a clara feels guilty for being in love with the doctor and danny while not letting any of them go and she's trying to have a bit of control over her this situation way

I deleted duolingo early last year because the AI lessons were bullshit quality and I was no longer learning anything. I should look for a new app to help me practice Spanish again because my literacy has started to degrade

My brain, in the span of 5 seconds:

Spanish is a Romance language

Romance languages are Indo-European

That language family broke apart from Proto-Indo-European thousands of years ago

That's kinda like the Bible story, the Tower of Babel

Babel was in Mesopotamia

Mesopotamia means "between the rivers"

Potomac River in DC means "river river"

Hippopotamus means "river horse"

Hippocampus means "sea horse"

The part of the brain that controls memory is called the hippocampus because it kinda looks like a sea horse if you've never seen one before and squint

The brain has a bunch of lobes

My dad had a stroke in his occipital lobe in 2021

The occipital lobe is at the back of the brain and controls sight even though your eyeballs are at the front of the brain

Your eyes are attached to the brain by the optic nerve

In cartoons your eyes can pop out of your head using the optic nerve as stalks when you're scared or excited AWOOOGA

They make novelty glasses with eyeballs on springs

Those kinda remind me of Groucho Marx glasses

So anyway, that's how I got here when I wanted to find a new language app

My train of thought has no rails, it goes wherever it wants.

the charles/damiano lore is insane lmfaoooo i cannot i am sure max was screaming throwing up seeing what was going down in the ferrari garage at monza '23

"Max lost Singapore because the RB19 was weak at that track" Max lost Singapore because he was emotionally distraught over the Charles/Damiano rumours.

my hot take of the day is that paul doesn’t not like musicals. i don’t know how it’s taken me 5+ years to come to this conclusion, but hear me out. i rewatched tgwdlm twice this weekend and my brain is vibrating on paul matthews frequency. my soul is one with his. my hypothesis wraps up everything that’s bothered me about paul’s character in a neat little bow: paul likes musicals, even if he doesn’t think he does.

the jokes have been circulating from the start, how paul knows the words to moana better than anyone else, how he has seen every musical mentioned in the show (he didn’t directly say he’s seen hamilton and mamma mia, but he at the very least knows the difference in the pop cultural relevance of the two). paul claims that he was forced to see godspell and brigadoon, but that doesn’t account for the other shows he’s seen, one of which he’s canonically watched enough times to know the words better than his coworkers/the average musical-hating ccrp employee.

i’ve heard speculation that paul goes to see every musical just to criticize it. but i don’t think that’s the case. i think paul has repressed his love of musicals. maybe he thinks he hates them, and thinks he watches them to critique them, but deep down he’s lying to himself and he knows it.

this is evidenced by “let it out,” specifically the lines: “i’ve become what i hated / or maybe i never did.” unlike the first verse, where there’s a clear distinction between the lines sung by paul vs pokey, i find it much more difficult to tell who’s singing in the second verse. i imagine this was an intentional acting choice on jon’s part, symbolizing that as pokey gets a firmer grip on paul he has access to more of his repressed memories, feelings, and desires. his words become more seamlessly infused with paul’s real thoughts. he identifies that paul has never hated musicals and makes him acknowledge it to himself and the audience.

so what caused paul to repress his love of musicals? he tells us directly—the moment that made him hate musicals was when he was bussed over to hatchetfield high to watch their production of brigadoon, because sycamore didn’t have a theater program. look, there is No Way that the entire student body of sycamore high was bussed over to see brigadoon: first, it would have been after school hours, and impossible (or at least a very strange thing) to make mandatory; second, the average high school production is, what, 2-4 nights? no way there would have been enough seats for all of sycamore; third, arranging the bus situation would have been far too inconvenient and expensive. i could go on, but my point is, going to see brigadoon was a voluntary action on high schooler!paul’s part. my guess is that it was only the students who actively wanted to be in a theater program who were taken to see brigadoon. that leads me to the conclusion: paul was an aspiring theater kid in high school, and you can’t tell me otherwise.

it was the experience of watching emma and the hatchetfield high kids perform brigadoon, longing to be onstage with them in the spotlight, and knowing he wasn’t going to get that opportunity in high school that made him start repressing his love of musicals. but (and i don’t have evidence for this, it’s just speculation) it’s post-high school, when he realized he was never going to get to be in a musical, that sealed that commitment to repression. whether he went to college and auditioned and didn’t get any roles for lack of practice, or joined the workforce and got his dream crushed out of him by the monotony of ccrp, paul distanced himself from the object of his desire by pretending that, actually, he never really wanted it. he pretended so hard he started to believe it. he began watching musicals “ironically.” he listened to the moana soundtrack because he “liked making fun of it.” he’d “rather do anything” than go watch mamma mia. he was “forced” to see godspell, and he “hated it.” godspell, more like god-awful, amirite?

(and don’t get me started on the little we see of him in black friday—what do you mean you don’t like those “musical commercials,” paul?? are you trying to say the kars 4 kids jingle is comparable to a full-length musical?? do you not listen to music at all, paul??? or are you overgeneralizing your hatred of musicals to cover your ass?? yet you can sing when you realize it’s possibly the final minutes of your life and there’s no hope to be found but in song? answer me paul. ANSWER ME.)

i’ve seen it hypothesized that pokey gives each character what they want before he kills them. paul is no exception. paul finally gets what he wants: to be in a musical. not just to be in a musical, but to play the leading role. to sing before an audience. to be the hero, sacrificing himself to save the day. i think it’s possible that, if ever paul genuinely stops liking musicals, it’s after pokey’s invasion begins. i mean, i certainly would stick to silent films for the rest of my life after getting caught up in that, so i don’t blame him. paul’s panic is visceral in every song sequence—but it’s not because he doesn’t like musicals, it’s for the obvious reason that Holy Fuck Something Is Wrong With These People Think About The Implications.

this has turned into an absolute essay, so tl;dr: paul likes musicals. if anything, paul loves musicals. paul was so broken by his inability to be in musicals as a kid that he made himself believe he hated them so all the missed opportunities would hurt less. all of the overexaggerated musical hating that we see on screen is overcompensation. he can fool the audience. he can fool himself. he can even fool me for 5+ years. but he can’t fool pokey.

Hey do you remember that one vocaloid song? You know, the one where Miku duets with a voicebank from another company that got insanely popular? The one that has such a unique visual flair that it spawns covers, fanart, and crossover fanart of peoples fave characters? The one with themes of trying to avoid bad thoughts at all costs, even to the point of driving you insane? Also where is the yellow girl?
