thinking about a mattpatt game theory style video about the identity of batman in the dc universe.

"We have to assume that Batman makes a certain amount of money to be able to have all of his gear and things like the batmobile. So let's look at the number of millionaires and billionaires that live within Gotham city. From here we can safely rule out all women and the men below five foot eight as Batman is agreed upon as 'fairly tall.' Now we look at ages and knock out people above 50 and below 30 based on how long Batman has been on the job. This leaves a manageable number of people on our list. Some can be knocked off the list manually, like Bruce Wayne. *insert poorly edited picture of Brucie in a costume Batman mask.* We can also successfully scratch out the names of people who have been in the same room as Batman. Then we look at the realistic schedules of the people left...and. No one. Not a single person was left on the list. Of course this list wasn't perfect, but you'd think we'd get at least one candidate. But the best the list got us was Brucie Wayne which... I don't even have to tell you why that's incorrect. Batman's identity remains a mystery but uh I guess that's the point."

Honestly the story of mlp must be very weird from the pov of a random guy in ponyville, like one day a new antisocial librarian moves into town, and like a year later that librarian ascends into godhood and becomes the new ruler of the entire world

There are abandoned train tracks in the town where I live. They were built in the 1800s, to transport timber from the isolated logging camps further north. Some say those loggers were so lonely, with nothing but each other and the trees and train tracks for months on end, that at night, when all was reduced to the hum of cicadas, they’d imagine the clatter of heavy machinery and think the train was coming to bring them home.

We still hear it sometimes—that train whistle in the dead of night, echoing down the abandoned tracks. A train hasn’t traveled those rails in 50 years, but still, if you listen hard enough, you’ll hear the whistle, and think about the loggers who died in those forests, the loggers who never went home.

Anyway I was just thinking about how Ponyboy probably hears a train sometimes, loud enough to be Dally’s heartbeat, and goes still, turning to his brothers, head cocked, ears sharp: “Do you hear that?”

And they look back, confusion in their eyes. “Hear what?”

looking over the shots of the murder hut/the early mystery shack and noticing details like the unibear being in gift shop from the start and stan rolling out the bill carpet and later putting bill in the mystery shack sign himself

the wires/machinery/door not being changed yet but it seems like the vending machine was there since early on

jadetham⋆.༦࿑ོ⁺ museum coworkers au — moodboard (2/?)

spending the holidays alone in the city with only your coworker, who also happens to be your ex, as company

coming out of the opera building after a night at the ballet. christmas bells are ringing in the streets, and the first snow of the season lands a crown of snowflakes in your hair. your laughs are brighter than the stars above, who twinkle as they ponder over how you two could’ve ever fallen out of love

I looked up goth 50s style dress

I was not disappointed

Honestly pretty disgusting that more people haven't been talking about the murder of DaChe'na Warren-Hill. Pretty much nobody outside of the city it happened in, and even that, not much. I only know it happened because I used to live there.

She was 20 years old, trying to get away from her abuser, and the police showed up and shot her. It was declared "justified" because she was driving a car, and the officer who killed her felt threatened by that.

She had her whole life ahead of her. Dead because a cop was scared of a car. Coming up on a year since her death and her family is still trying to get justice.

I see "Danny just wants to be normal" and "Amity Park is Danny's haunt au" and raise you, not a weird Amity Park, but a very very normal Amity Park. Everything is completely normal but it feels wrong. It's all just a little /too normal/ like it's been fabricated to be the most average town ever. Everything's right but there's an underlying current of some thing here is wrong. An outsider will see something weird out of the corner of their eye (ghosts hurtling through the air), but when they turn to look all they see is a bird landing on a branch. They must've just seen the bird? Right? Right????? And no townspeople have seen anything either. But it feels out of place. A niggling feeling that you can't quite shake but everything is fine??? But??? It's unexplainable but something Isn't Right.

Watching Wayward Pines for potential ST5 inspo bc the Duffers wrote a couple episodes in s1, and when I got to their second (last) episode and their name crossed the screen, I noticed a visual parallel that might already exist on the show…

Recognize it??

It instantly reminded me of that last shot for the opening of s3, with the landscape peaking out behind the Russian base. But when I went back and actually compared the two, holy shit it’s near identical, and not just the landscape.

I didn’t even remember the helicopter being there on the left, not to mention the pillar-esaue contraption at the center. Like… they’re the same picture.!

With them being credited right at that moment, it’s obvious this was an intentional nod to their previous work.

I just thought it was cool so I wanted to share, but in terms of my watch overall, there is a LOT going on that they could pull from. I’m only halfway through s1, though I’ve heard the show goes downhill in s2 so we’ll see how that goes 😂

there's an entire temple dedicated to the maintenance of the seasons in holodrum and protecting the rod of seasons and its four spirits. meanwhile nayru is just keeping the harp of ages in her basement

Explained to my 40-something self-described ‘small town girl’ coworker Heather today that I was dumped and she said “men suck.” Patiently explained that the woman I brought to the company Xmas party (“what, her boyfriend dumped her or…?”) was my girlfriend, not ‘girl friend’ (I had been referring to her all this time as such just assuming she understood), and that I had moved here for her. after less than a beat Heather replied, without any sign of being surprised by me being a lesbian despite somehow not understanding this beforehand: “well, women suck!”. Heather you will see the gates of heaven. I wish you the best of luck with your divorce.

I need to be weirder about the scavengers and cannibalism...

As someone who lives in the Silver Line Cringe Zone I'm not going to say you're wrong but i would love an elaboration.

LOLLLLL first of all to be completely obvious i mean this all lightheartedly i have dear friends all over nova and i love petty regional beefs that don't mean anything, this is just the tumblr equivalent of when i'm drinking with my friends billie and ricky and she earnestly tells him "nova is INSIDE THE BELTWAY. everything else is FAKE NOVA" purely to cause problems. secondly it's entirely based on whether you live in a part of nova that has more City-Like or Suburb-Like vibes when i drive through it/go there

[shalom-iamcominghome]

This is the funny thing about wearing kippah...

Are they staring at me because my kippah is slightly colorful? Are they staring because I'm about the only one in town wearing one? Are they staring because they're antisemitic? Are they staring because they're antisemitic? Who knows!
