#martha is mean

Clark Kent’s birthday canonically being February 29th is hysterical to me. Not because it’s meant to jokingly explain away how Superman is a timeless character, but because it implies Martha and Jonathan Kent found an alien baby in a cornfield, and when pressed to choose a birthday for their new baby, they gave him the most difficult birthday possible.

This was Thomas Wayne if Bruce, Martha, or Alfred were insulted during pompous Galas/family gatherings, by the way. If you even care:
#listen cheerful bright and chaotic good Thomas is so good.#but also: angry men. mean men with good hearts. men who weren’t raised to bark. only bite.#men so utterly shameless in the way they protect.#thomas wayne#martha wayne#alfred pennyworth#bruce wayne#the waynes#dc comics#dc#fast forward a couple deaths jason does the exact same thing that man is his granddaddy’s boy

You should care about things in a way that makes it a possibility that tragedy will happen to you. If you hold your commitments lightly, in such a way that you can always divest yourself from one or the other of them if they conflict, then it doesn’t hurt you when things go badly. But you want people to live their lives with a deep seriousness of commitment: not to adjust their desires to the way the world actually goes, but rather to try to wrest from the world the good life that they desire. And sometimes that does lead them into tragedy.
Martha Nussbaum, in A World of Ideas, by Bill Moyers

#mrs flood who are you: time lord edition
#dwedit#doctor who#mrs flood#fifteenth doctor#the master#jacobi!master#tenth doctor#jack harkness#martha jones#twelfth doctor#ninth doctor#*#okay here is my argument: mrs flood IS a time lord but her presence here has nothing to do with the doctor#instead she's here because of ruby. she's seemingly part of/related to the pantheon of discord & we know that ruby is connected to them too#so i think that she was deliberately placed as ruby's neighbor by the pantheon/oldest one/ruby's mom/? in order to watch over her#it also explains why she was there to check on ruby in 1.04. once she realizes she's on the phone w carla she says 'nothing to do with me'#and she leaves. which implies that it COULD have had something to do with her. if it had been something else going on#ANYWAY. to get to the time lordness of it all. rn i personally believe that she's a time lord that's been hiding on earth for 50+ years#bc i don't think she recognized the police box as a tardis initially. that first quote should be taken at face value.#instead picture this: she's watching over ruby as per usual. a police box is there - weird but nbd. then it dematerializes in front of her.#she drops her groceries. she's shocked. she kinda looks scared. if she already knew it was a tardis why would she react like that?#so imo she knows OF tardises. she DIDN'T know the police box was one. and she's worried the time lords have found her hence the fear.#but when nothing happens and nobody comes at her she realizes she's still safe#later when she sees the doctor she realizes the tardis is his/he must be a time lord. he doesn't identify her but that's happened before#so then when she asks him who he is i think what she's actually asking for is his title. WHICH time lord are you.#bc lbr if she knows abt tardises then she knows about time lords and if she knows abt time lords she knows what it means for ruby#to be joining him - and that's why she wishes ruby good luck. meanwhile this is clearly the outcome she WANTS (them to be together)#bc she gets visibly upset when the doctor seems to decide to leave without ruby.#and for once i'm not master clowning bc the list of names the doctor gives out is VERY interesting. some of them we've never heard before:#the bishop; the conquistador; later he adds the pedant and sagi-shi and reiterates the bishop AGAIN. so i wonder if she's the bishop.....

Thinking longingly about him again. (The Pennyworth series for some inexplicable reason.)
#pennyworth#listen#that show was fucking bonkers#but I have such#a need#for that version of Alfie Pennyworth to interact with baby Bruce Wayne#Martha and Thomas probably handed Bruce to him just to hold#and Alfie did the bugs bunny communism meme in his head#'your baby? you mean OUR baby'#'I'm gonna teach him crime :)'

rtd first era is like
s1: awkward closed-off secretly (not so secretly) silly alien learns to feel things again because of a woman who feels so much and isn't afraid to challenge the silly alien on the importance of these feelings
s2: formerly awkward closed-off secretly (not so secretly) silly alien feels so hard that there's no defense left against an inevitable loss that both alien and woman pretended wasn't going to happen
s3: silly alien now bleeding uncontrollably everywhere, but a doctor comes along and does triage on the wounds. experience deeply traumatises this doctor and her whole family and she has to leave
s4: silly alien now in some tricky equilibrium, tries to balance bleeding heart with living, made easier because of a very special woman who understands on some intimate level the struggle of this balance. things looking up on the whole. but watch out
specials: oh no oh no oh no oh dear
#doctor who#dw#rose tyler#martha jones#donna noble#the ninth doctor#the tenth doctor#rtd#russell t davies#does the 60th anniversary count as rtd first era or rt2d is the question#i go for the first -- ncuti gatwa is officially rt2d#which means... there will be something to add soon on that list

i feel like it’s so integral to have at least one “at home” episode for every companion. so much character to be revealed in the premise of aliens interfering with everyday life once they are back on earth
#doctor who#dw#dr who#doctor who companions#dw companions#rose tyler#martha jones#donna noble#amy pond#rory williams#clara oswald#bill potts#yazmin khan#graham o'brien#ryan sinclair#and i mean an episode that isn’t their introduction#and not going somewhere else in modern times but where actually live#aliens of london#the lazarus experiment#the sontaran stratagem#the power of three#the caretaker#knock knock#arachnids in the uk#can you hear me?#those are the ones i can name of the top of my head#something about alien hijinks balanced with normal life is so good#ruby sunday hasn’t had hers yet but i have hopes for next season#but you get the idea

This angle of Martha's kiss is devastating, they should have used this one in the final shot.
The beautiful consistency of both kisses between the Doctor and Martha being emotionally devastating to both is making me want to rip my hair out.
Bonus:
#i would have flown the tardis to a vast expanse in space#opened the door#and jumped out#if i were on the otherside of that kiss are you inSANE#doctor who#martha jones#tenth doctor#10th doctor#tenmartha#if you're smart you get it#it was just a kiss doctor - it didn't mean anything - he shouldnt feel anything because he doesn't love her...right?

Tbh I think Martha and Rose’s meetup should’ve been like,
Rose: so, what happened with you and the doctor?
Martha: oh, you know, I fancied him a fair bit, and he didn’t feel the same, and then I left
Rose: he didn’t fancy you?? but you’re gorgeous!
Martha: awwh, thank you. You’re super pretty too :)
Ten: can we not-
Martha: are you free next weekend? ;)
Rose: *looks at ten*
Rose: *then looks back at Martha*
Rose: yes.
#horrible writing here but it’s not meant to be serious#you guys just gotta understand what I mean#am I accidentally gonna become a tenrosemartha shipper#idk it just popped into my brain ok#doctor who#tenth doctor#martha jones#rose tyler#david tennant#billie piper#freema agyeman#tenrose#tenrosemartha#rosemartha#tenmartha

Still weird seeing Twilight be so honest with Yor about struggling to turn his brain off and just *be*. A good kind of weird, of course. I could never imagine volume one Twilight being so open with her (or anyone, really). This chapter was so nice with its references to all the way back then and showing how far they've come since. Still some sneaky Project Apple seeds being laid, of course, but overall, this was a pleasant checkpoint. A little calm before the next storm, which was sorely needed after the last arc
#I did think he would backpedal more after mole hunt arc and tbh he likely still will but for now he's actually showing growth#Anya too in her adapting how best to manipulate him. Yor's chara development wasn't on full show this file#but that doesn't mean she hasn't grown too (her interactions with the work trio and Melinda especially show so).#Yor now drawing others out of their shells rather than staying quiet. appreciating what she has rather than letting it pass her by.#And seeing Martha again after last arc was just laced with irony. She and Becky acted the same as ever but now we have more context.#I'm glad this series is good about breathers in its pacing despite what elements of the fanbase may proclaim#spy x family#sxf manga spoilers

hiii ily tell some more abt silly little bruce wayne
Baby Bruce gets kidnapped. A lot
Luckily for all involved, it happens when he’s a little too young to comprehend what kidnapping IS. It does seem rather odd that mama and papa fire cooks, gardeners, and drivers so often.
(‘Fire’ is the childproof version of ‘we slaughtered these bastards in the basement’)
Thomas is very protective over him and has huge doubts about leaving him unattended. It’s just kind of hard being around your child when you reek of murder all the time
Alfred can handle it, but there’s a collective mourning in the fact that he HAS to.
Very shy kid; Aside from Oliver and Harvey, he never made a lot of friends, but then again, his parents don’t have that many either. He has his uncle Oz and his stuffed toys, and Alfie, and that’s alright with him
I think Thomas and Martha would love for him to have some, but you just can’t be too sure, ever
I think he’d make good friends with Alberto Falcone; Thomas knows an unwanted child when he sees one, so Carmine’s little son is always welcomed around.
“you know, you’re nothing like your dad” for Alberto, that’s a compliment.
Martha was an expert marksman and definitely thought him how to handle guns, but she always made a game out of it. Can’t be too harsh with the baby
Bruce was a mafioso baby let’s be real
Thomas was big on spoiling him, but he also made it clear Gotham didn’t have favorites; She can, thought, pick sides sometimes.
After he and Martha get killed, Bruce wonders why she didn’t pick theirs.
#I love baby bruce I genuinely believe he would’ve been a mob princess#bruce wayne#thomas wayne#martha wayne#I feel the need to say — just bc martha and thomas didn’t do crime doesn’t mean they weren’t shady#the Wayne’s were a pseudo mafia family in my mind.#dc comics#dc#the Wayne’s#alfred pennyworth#alberto falcone#big thoughts abt him also!!!#asks

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 107... You have been warned...! 👌
[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]
OH MY GOODNESS! 😱 THE ENDING OF THIS CHAPTER, DUDE!!! 😵
For what seemed like just a fun little chapter, learned quite a bit of things and possibly a hint to a major reveal...!! 😲 So let's talk about it, shall we...? 😁
In today's chapter, we are back with the Forgers this time around, but this time... WE AT THE ANNUAL SHEEP FESTIVAL!!! 🐑😆
But in actuality, Twilight only brought the family here because the Lady Patriots Society were the ones to put this festival together, which means... Plan C, a.k.a. The Mommy Friendship Scheme is what Twilight is hoping to progress...!! 👌😌 But of course, that only makes Anya think about THIS:
ANYA, YOU ABSOLUTE NUTTY GIRL!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Never change Anya, never change...!! 👌😌
After Anya's tomfoolery, we see that Damian, Ewen and Emile are with Jeeves and the other butlers are also at the festival...!! 😄:
But they aren't the only ones to show up at this festival of sheeps... 😁 In fact, we get to see the Blackbells (now including Becky's mom 😆), the Watkins (Bill's dad is officially in the manga now 😎) and the Gloomans (though, we've already seen George's dad 😅); and of course, Twilight goes "Straight To Work" as Anya's puts it...!! 👌😌
Not to mention, we also learn the names of Becky's, Bill's and George's dads' names!! 😆 (Byron Blackbell, Wesley Watkins, and Dennis Glooman to be exact...!! 😁)
After that, some people start recognizing Anya, Damian and Becky (and most likely Bill as well) for their brave and heroic actions all the way back in the Hijacking arc...!! 😄
While Twilight on the other hand is loosing his mind over how much information he could possibly get these people as well...!! 🕵 (Oh Twilight... Always thinking of his spy work... 👌😌)
Soon after that, Damian challenges Anya to a game of ring toss and says that if she loses, he wants her to leave the festival. And so, the game was on...!! 😄
I really love this image of the Eden kids just having fun, it truly warms my heart...! 🤗 (even if Damian got hit in the face thanks to Anya...! 😌)
While the kids are still competing with each other, Jeeves starts talking about his hopes for the children...:
Then, we see Twilight look towards Anya and say this in his head...:
This definitely makes me think that Twilight is feeling more and more guilty for using Anya for his mission... 😔
After that, Damian wins the ring toss and tells Anya that she has leave now...! Buuut, she starts crying and Damian changes his mind about making her leave, which makes Anya (and Twilight) happy...!! 😄 Then, Becky suggests that her and Anya should go to this hall of clairvoyants, where Becky mentions that the clairvoyants could probably tell how compatible someone is with their lover, which makes Damian not want to go in there at all...!! 😆 So Becky, Anya, Yor and Mathra head in to get there fortune read, while everyone goes elsewhere (including Twilight who is going drinking with the boys 😎👍).
Once inside, there's a huge line for someone named Magical 🌟 Crowley, which if I remember correctly, Crowley is the same last name as that triangle shaped haired kid that got the highest score on classical language while Anya got the second highest score... Hmmm, interesting... 🤔 Anyway, instead of going to Crowley's booth (which was charging up the wazoo), Anya suggests that they should just go see LunaLuna 🌙 Selena, but Becky doesn't like that she doesn't charge and isn't accurate, so she and Martha go to the middle tier while Anya and Yor go see Selena...! When Anya and Yor get there, no one is there at first, but then Selena wobbles out and almost falls over when Yor catches her, and...:
IT'S MOTHER F---ING MELINDA DESMOND!!! 😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?! CAN SHE ACTUALLY SHE INTO THE FUTURE?!?! SO MANY DAMN QUESTIONS...!!! 😵😵😵
And that was the end of the chapter... Endo, WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?!?! 😩 Before it was revealed that the fortune teller was Melinda, I already had a sneaking suspicion that LunaLuna 🌙 Selena was gonna be Melinda, but now I wonder if she's actually got psychic abilities to see into the future or not...! 😲 The Magical 🌟 Crowley has also got my attention, is this person related to Arnold Crowley (I believe that's his name) or is it Arnold Crowley himself...? 🤔
Either way, the next chapter is gonna be a very interesting one, folks!! 👌😎 So until the next Mission; take care, be safe out there and be kind to one another...!! LATER!! 👋😄

I’m an Alfred/Martha/Thomas truther. Like Alfred is a baddie in his 80s you all know he must have been a slice back in the day. And it is canon Martha and Thomas were smoke shows.
Like let hot people get it. Let hot men kiss while their wife turns mobsters kneecaps into flour with a baseball bat.
#I feel like with all those portraits in the manor teenage Bruce must have had that weird moment when he was like#‘why were my parents hotter than me at 16?’#y’all know what I mean you find a photo of like your grandparents when they were young and you have to know why your so crusty#but like nope apparently grandpa was an absolute chad#Bruce Wayne#Martha Wayne#Thomas Wayne#alfred pennyworth#I bet Martha was dog walking those men#her British Twink and Italian Bodybuilder#batman#batfam#like and imagine the kids reaction#they find a candid shot of young Alfred making out with Grandpa Tom?#they can’t handle the idea of Alfred getting so much play#rip to Martha and Thomas they are eating ass and smoking grass with the angels now#it’s for the best#the Gotham rogues would be found scalped if they were still kicking#gotham#jason todd#dick grayson#damian wayne#tim drake#dc batman
