Kinda really wanna ramble of Batman’s no kill rule. Because it’s not really a no kill rule as much as it is a no death rule.

And I feel like I’m always seeing posts which try to act like because it’s normal not to want to kill someone that means Batman is somehow normal for his no kill rule (which, again, isn’t really a no kill rule but a no death rule).

Yes, it’s normal to not want to kill someone.

No, that isn’t what Batman’s no death rule is about.

And no, Batman is not normal for his no death rule. It’s extremely weird, and he is extremely weird about it.

It isn’t logical either for the record, it’s highly illogical and entirely emotions based and Batman refuses to be normal about it.

And That’s fine! In fact, it’s extremely interesting!!

But please, please can we stop pretending he’s normal about it? His stance is not normal! His stance is, like almost everything else about the guy, fucking insane!! That’s what makes him interesting!

Small reminder that I have a personal policy of avoiding talking about / reblogging news / events / general topics on the USA.

I'm not American, there's plenty of US people to post things... I haven't had a good birthday in 5 years because it hasn't stopped coinciding with america stuff...

I doubt anyone minds, but on the off chance someone notices, it's just a personal choice. Makes my brain go to bad places. Don't want to spread that.

Plenty of other subjects to share. Lots of other things that need support.

i don't want to contribute to the myth that early-web forums were somehow unafflicted by the uglier side of human nature....... but what i WILL say is that compared to colossal platforms and viral-sharing social media, there were advantages to at least having some IDEA which flavors of maladjusted weirdo with bizarre opinions were about to be swarming all over your post

Basically, though, it was the fight by the pre-WWI French, Italian and Spanish workers using individual actions against mass repression that excited the imaginations of the press. Surely nobody could be so wicked as to hold the actual individuals wielding power responsible for the actions they personally ordered? If there were such malefactors, they must be crazed, criminal and depraved monsters, believing only in violence for the sake of violence! The just response to the wickedness of dictators was the slaughter of millions of the subjects they had conquered. That remains the official doctrine until this day.

Aeon setting up a weird little quintosis trigger in dew's mind without him realizing and then when they're in band practice and Aeon does a little slide maneuver and something just clicks in dew's mind and he's just rahhhhh

This is one of the first few things I drew in color for this nonsense I think

“Why would you even ship that character with anybody?! He’s basically irredeemable to me—“

TO YOU!! He’s irredeemable to you. But some of us are silly geese that like our men to be the sexy, sad, feral, pathetic wet cats that they really are deep down, because we aren’t allergic to joy.

Is that okay with you??!? Is that permissible in the eyes of the Chronically Online Board of Hypothetical Ethics and Human Resources for Fictional Characters That Are Not Real™️®️.

You can go enjoy your curated selection of stale two dimensional wonderbread men in the corner, like the misguided pitiful lost soul that you are. the rest of us will be enjoying ourselves as our pathetic wet rag himbos and twinks kneel on the ground and beg to taste pussy/cock so hard they nearly come, like real men. just as god herself intended.

Let Angeal and Sephiroth enjoy Loveless too!!! That is their fandom-in-law! Sure fine they can joke about it and roll their eyes to tease Genesis. But I cannot believe that they actually hate it. You do not hear some constantly talking about something they love with such passion for that long and not become at least a bit invested in it

(And I do think they would actually like it)

buck and eddie are codependent freaks who want to live inside each others' skin. and it's the best thing that's ever happened on network tv

love when normie ass blogs start following me. logically i know its probably bc people have their alterhuman stuff in sideblogs but im still like. hi buddy are you lost,

[elftwink]

used to be very confused by 5e players declaring that other systems were just too hard to learn and that's why they would rather beat the dnd system into the shape they want over choosing a system that already is in this shape. i would be like...harder to learn than fucking dungeons and dragons, a system with multiple 300 page rulebooks? but then i figured out they actually don't know how to play dnd and have never even opened those books and everything started making sense

We have *massive* amounts of respect for accessibility blogs, and really anyone who goes around adding image descriptions and plain text. That stuff is exhausting, it's not easy work! Thank you for dedicating time and energy to making the community more accessible. Shout-out to everyone who reblogs posts with IDs and/or PT, whether regularly or every so often. Shout-out to people who go back to old posts to update them to be more accessible. Thank you!!
