DP x DC worlds greatest detectives ramble

You ever just get a bit tired of the batfamily being dumb?

Sure I appreciate a good “Danny is weird and the Bats try to figure out his deal and draw wrong conclusions based on incomplete evidence” fic as much as the next guy, and I’m definitely not saying not to write them

But the thing is, they’re all really smart. It’s their whole thing, they’re a family of detectives that dress up in colorful costumes and fight crime, but detectives nonetheless

And I get it’s for humorous effect to have otherwise intelligent people be incredibly dumb about one thing, but it’d just be nice to see them be smart sometimes. Even in a fic where they’re drawing the wrong conclusions, it’d be nice to see them use their detective skills

Like build a case so solid Danny questions whether they’re actually right about him and if he’s just confused

Or just apply it to more conventional situations/crimes

Because frankly it’s funnier if you show they’re smart before having them do something really stupid

If you build them up a bit, then it’s funnier when they fall down.

“Where did he go? It’s like he vanished into thin air!?”

“Don’t be silly, see these scuff marks? Someone recently went down this way. The gravel here has been disturbed indicating this manhole cover has been moved recently. Now if we just prop this up…”

“…huh, is that…?”

“Killer Croc and not the twink we were just tracking?”

“Yeah, that”

“Yeah, that’s killer croc… hi Waylon”

*large scaly hand darts out and drags Bat in question down in the sewers while Danny watches invisibly*

Publishing has always been a fucking nightmare, but now it’s a layer of hell. It’s not enough that writers be good at what they do. Writers have to maintain an active social media presence and cultivate a following. Be available.

They have to be conventionally attractive enough to look good enough to see on a screen, aesthetically pleasing, kind, funny, up-to-date on trends, socially aware but not so controversial that they turn off a brand from California from slapping their discount code on a video promoting a book.

They have to do all of this with no media training, with little help from the companies that are supposed to be doing this for them.

Of course, a lot of this isn't possible for say, the 40-something mother of two who teaches English at a school and writes on the side. She’s boxed out of an already complex industry that already has enough walls.

On some level, I think authors have always marketed themselves a little, but we’ve reached such a crazy point where we’re demanding the author become the influencer. Accessibility in publishing has narrowed from an inch to a sliver. And that inch was hard enough to get in as is.

my grandmother lost 150+lbs on the keto diet (also after a gastric bypass or smthn like that) and she’s managed to maintain the same weight over the last decade, give or take ~30lbs… she’s always dieting somehow and i like to take it upon myself to always give her a chocolate or a treat or smthn when i visit. i support her with this but *one* thing will not hurt and it makes her happy!

one of the things in Life is that even the most radical or anti establishment of ventures, particularly anything involving “community” or “mutual aid” still relies on really normie skills to be accomplished if it wants to be effective for real human beings in the long run. Like a queer housing group or any kind of shelter is still a House that needs to be clean and have clean toilets. A radical off the grid farm is still a farm where the biological necessities of crops might very well require you to wake up at 5:00 AM for weeks on end in order to have a crop. A Union meeting still might need childcare from qualified individuals who can take care of a bunch of preschoolers for hours on end. An abortion fund is still a monetary operation with a flow of cash that needs to be taken care of. Any operation needs to have regularly scheduled meetings set up and attended in the long run. A lot of these things aren’t really negotiable based on vibe or ideology so much as things that need to be done here, in the real world, in order to make peoples lives better, and no amount of perfect buzzword ideology will change that.

no bc all previous intimate kenstewy moments have been stewy being the one to reach out to ken both physically and figuratively (there’s a friend card here if you want to play it etc) but you’re telling me…that kendall roy who generally has an aversion to touch. rests his head on stewy’s shoulder!!! with a smile on his face…so basically you’re telling me he creates further intimacy on his own volition. with stewy. with his best friend called stewy. insane

btw if you even care the ACTUAL bad ending of wwdits is if nadja remains aimless and unfulfilled, wandering from project to project without intention or internality

replaying Ace Attorney games is a TRIP, I think I pinpointed the EXACT moment Klavier realized Kristoph manipulated him and it's when the commemorative stamp that was supposed to kill Drew Misham 7 years prior to Turnabout Succession is mentioned to have been a commemorative stamp featuring Troupe Gramarye and he has a full mental breakdown over it. GET THIS MAN THERAPY. CAPCOM PLEASE.

I might do a full post that's just "here's every instance of Klavier realizing Kristoph is a horrible fucking person in Turnabout Succession" because IT HURTS EVEN MORE WHEN YOU REPLAY IT. I thought it hurt the first time around? NO, IT HURTS MORE WHEN YOU CAN SEE KLAVIER REALIZING HOW HORRIBLE KRISTOPH IS AND KNOW THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING.

bugsnax fandom can we please talk about Floofty’s fizzlebean’s desire to memorialized for the good their research would do and their hidden desire for validation after having their reputation slandered by Snorpy lashing out and the demonization they faced from the media. They don’t care about themselves because they can die and memorialized, gain the praise and validation they always wanted no matter the cost. People shouldn’t care about them. Only their research.

more nontraditional f1 "gossip" from the past couple of years: katerina hooking up with lando n pierre (or at least very a messy timeline) during 2020 and then ending up choosing pierre in the end but she's the reason lando and pierre both got covid at the same time lol. her protesting for ukraine outside the russian embassy in milan in 2022 meanwhile pierre was literally at the club (they broke up shortly after). lando being brought along when carlos rented out that brazilian estate to cheat on isa and someone revealing it live on air. daniil breaking up with kelly on her birthday in 2019. lily when she was dating her last bf used to hook up with tom holland. checo cheating on his wife on god's internet. max being a total simp after dilara broke up with him in 2019.

idk if I should be proud or ashamed that I knew all of these (Pierre and Lando getting covid at the same time in Dubai from double dipping will never not be hilarious) but I DID NOT KNOW that Daniil dumped Kelly P. on her birthday but. I am not surprised. Actually thank u for confirming my gut feelings I feel very enlightened!!

I also legit only really care about gossip stuff insofar as I can get inspiration from it for the rpf, so obviously seeing this ask my brain went to “we NEED more sordid drama as the backdrop of our rpf fanfics”. TO ME thinking about the vroom vroom boys as messy sometimes-cheaters kinda adds to the appeal. A bit of flavour if u will. I come to the problematic sport for the problematic part. as a treat

I think when there's a lot of civil unrest in a country, a nation is just unable to sleep.

Like obviously there are levels, but the more chaotic the population is, the less sleep a nation can get. It can get so bad that they're awake for days at a time.

Soon, the side effects begin to kick in like irritability, hand tremors, microsleeps, and hallucinations. Though I feel like they wouldn't get tired. They'd be filled with the energy and fervor of their population.

Imagine France during the French revolution and the Reign of Terror. He was probably awake for weeks at a time. He was probably a paranoid, frustrated, incoherent mess, running solely on the passion of his people.

But the second that passion dips, a nation's body will seize the opportunity and fall unconscious.
