#it's a complicated relationship

[qqueenofhades]

Am now the sole academic program manager for the entire department (4 graduate programs) since two colleagues have left since the start of the year and the central office will not let us hire any replacements since tHe BuDgEt (but of course, still expect all the work to get done anyway). Have likewise applied for the second MA (may or may not ever hear back, cmon guys). So today, obviously, I decided that the best thing to do was also apply for adjunct professorship in the History Department. I'm sure this was a very smart idea and there will be no ill effects whatsoever.

i think everyone now thinks i've evolved into a taylor swift hater having watched how hard i'm trying to bump her out my spotify stats 😭

One of the things I like to do in Salmon Run is, that whenever I'm in a dicey spot, I let enemies such as cohocks damage boost me to safety. I'm not saying you should be equally stupid as me, but it does work most of the time.

I had my escape route planned (paint the side of the slopes, I always do that), so it would have worked here just fine.

But this...

Absolute...

JERK!!!!

yes The Witcher 3 has massive issues with misogyny, yes the game has made tasteless jokes, yes some of the characters are OOC compared to the books, yes it is still one of my comfort games

Me: I love the Tenth Doctor!*

*thinks he's fine but annoying with Rose, is ready to fistfight him throughout season 3 for Martha, and loves him with Donna but could throttle him for erasing her memories without consent.

my... associates... are huge Assholes and I listened to them whine about an unwillingness to accept that trans people are the gender they identify with and that they "shouldn't have to accept them" and i'm like... "well they shouldn't have to accept you." and it made them short circuit. so i can talk to these assholes because i don't believe that rejecting people with different opinions and views is always necessary. discussions can be fruitful and productive when everyone respects each other, which they do. i simply hope all three of their children remain cis and heterosexual. because they will never be able to understand the pain of not being accepted by people you thought were family.

Adult Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are the most surreal power couple in the mortal world.

Annabeth Chase, world renowned architect who was entrusted with repairs and renovation on the Empire State Building…

…and her husband, this guy who was wanted by the FBI for blowing up the St Louis Arch seventeen years ago

“What? Am I not your best friend! We hang out all the time! I do everything you say! I’m there for you when you need me, plus, when you get lonely I’m there! I even got us these!” Tobi hands him a best friend’s forever bracelet. @tobiisms

"I ... I suppose we are..." Obito reluctantly takes the bracelet, not knowing what to say to Guruguru. At this point it feels more like he grew up with these creatures and is stuck with them forever than he is friends with them.

the way that Andrew and Neil and Jean all have this incredibly intense codependent relationship with Kevin that’s based off of mutual trauma or binding promises, and then there’s just Jeremy who’s like… “Kevin is my buddy! 😁 We text! 🤗 Kevin you crazy fool! 😜

Why Duke Thomas Should Be A Dick Grayson Hater

Dick and Duke is such an underrated and underexplored relationship. Here is my pitch for why Duke should be a Dick Grayson hater.

1. The Rooftop Thing

Reason number one and the start of Duke's grudge should be the rooftop incident in Robin War. Dick, as part of his plan or whatever, leads Duke to a roof and abandons him to the cops.

LOOK AT DICK'S SMUG FACE. Tell me you wouldn't hold a grudge too if this was the FIRST major interaction you had with him?? Duke should use this against him at any possible opportunity.

2. ACAB

From We Are Robin #2. Once Duke finds out Dick used to be a cop, it's OVER for him.

3. Jason and Damian

Duke is quite close with Jason and Damian (in my head, particularly Damian - that's his LITTLE BROTHER). Anyway, these two are obsessed with Dick. You have Jason, with his miles-long brother issues that puts Dick on a pedestal, and you have Damian, who thinks Dick is the best person on Earth who can do no wrong. They would talk Duke's ears off about him. Duke would HATE IT.

4. Robin

This panel from Night of the Monster Men sums up quite nicely the difference in the way Dick and Duke approach vigilantism. Duke is the 'idealised' Robin, whose Robin-ing isn't contingent on Batman; Dick is more or less too tied up in Bruce. I think, because the Robin identity means a lot to Duke, having the original Robin be like this would irk Duke a LOT.

5. Tom Taylor

SPOILERS FOR CURRENT NIGHTWING RUN: in Nightwing #116, Dick gets framed for murder and Babs tells him to reveal he's Nightwing to clear him of suspicion. She says Bruce suggested it, and recounts everyone who agreed:

Hm. Is someone missing here? Oh yeah: DUKE. TT probably just forgot Duke, but where's the fun in that? Instead, if Duke is a Dick Grayson hater, you have the funniest scene imaginable. Everyone gathered in the Batcave, laying down their identities for Dick, and Duke is like 'I don't give a damn. He can rot in jail.' and peaces out.

BONUS points if he does this to get back at Dick for reason number 1.

6. Parallels

Duke's origin deliberately mirrors Bruce's, but that means it mirrors Dick's as well. Duke and Dick parallels go insane: they both had loving families, lost both parents at once, were in the foster system (varyingly for Dick but for the purposes of this post I'm gonna include it), were wards/not adopted by Bruce initially, have a huge reverence for family, have a thing about heights, view Robin as separate from Batman, forged their own identities, etc.

Tell me this page doesn't slap:

Anyway Duke would HATE this too. He'd be so annoyed that the person he has the most in common with is Dick, and that would fuel his Dick Grayson haterism.

Dick, on the other hand, has no hard feelings towards Duke. Duke would be glowering at him from the corner of the room and Dick would meet his gaze and be like 'ah Duke is so cute' and smile back. This would make Duke 10000x angrier.

Anyway that's my ideal Dick and Duke dynamic, feel free to add or modify or disagree with anything!!
