Gale: 😍

Everyone else: Please shut the fuck up

Killer Croc's little bro was apparently in Gotham.

How did everyone know? Because he was seen physically dragging said older brother out of the sewers and into the nearest cafe.

And Killer Croc was just. So docile??? He was shy, a bit nervous, amused, and was practically harmless. Which wasn't something anyone would have associated with Killer Croc.

And the fact that said little bro can lift him up easily too? What kind of parents did they have for their son to be able to lift up the Killer Croc so easily?

Meanwhile, Jack just doesn't get why everyone reacts negatively to his big brother, it's not like he was a ghost for goodness sake and yea he's working on not being like he was before his son revealed himself to be part ghost, but still.

His brother was still human, just extra.

Why did Jack come to Gotham? He was kinda maybe forced out the house to go and find his brother because he liked talking about him but never actually went out to find him.

Jack and Croc may be half-brothers, yes, but he's still family.

Jack strongarms Killer Croc into not living in, well, the sewers and at his house he bought when he came to Gotham and they both caught up with each other's lives. Jack told Croc about his family, and by extension the shit views he's had on ghost because it was a major part in their family dynamics, and Croc told him about his own life in Gotham.

Minus the more gruesome, parts.

Killer Croc lives with him for a while and notices that he didn't really seem to care for his life. Which is a major no to Croc, who tries to get him to gain some amount of self-preservation, yes he knows that his little bro is more durable than the average human has any right to be but please for the sake of your big bro's heart, please take care of yourself.

Jack is a bit floored by this, and tries to wave it off as a non-issue. But if Jack can strongarm Croc into living with him, then Croc can definitely strongarm Jack into things as well.

Busting through walls is fine, alright. He gets it, it's very fun. But please don't stick random things into your mouth that can kill you, nor follow strangers down an alleyway and shrug off a stabbing (Killer Croc had some choice words and actions for the person who did such a thing.), and please, please practice stranger danger, little bro. Please.

No, he doesn't give two, three, four, five or ten fucking shits if you have microsurgeons in your blood that gives you a superhuman healing factor, you can still feel pain little bro, and stop skipping meals and sleep to work on your inventions! No, you cannot substitute either for energy drinks!

The batfam keep an eye on the two brothers and find it to just be the both of them strongarming the other into healthy behaviors basically. (With a lot of verbal and physical "I love you"'s, the Batfam could NEVER. slash joke teehee.)

My auntie keeps Golden Guernsey goats on our island, like many of our local unique breeds of livestock they nearly went extinct in the starving during ww2 occupation surviving by only one smuggled flock. They're super friendly and energetic and their colouration might be of interest :eyes:

Oh OH these are very pretty

hi after the Internet Archive and Vimm's Lair takedowns i conclude that copyright laws are legitimately a plague upon humanity's history, media that isn't being sold anymore should be free for all, and copyright enforcers should be held at the same standards as landlords (scum)

I find it so ironically funny when hardcore Debbie defenders use the defense that she was just a victimised teenage girl (agreed) and then proceed to slander Fiona and express their hatred for her character and lack of sympathy

as if being an adult magically absolves an individual of the horrifying trauma that precedes them and screws up their mentality and actions

funnily enough these people get mad at others for "expecting Debbie to be an innocent angel and hating on her for acting out as a result of trauma" (also agreed, debbie does deserve more sympathy, she can't be expected to grow up to be a perfect saint when she's been through so much) yet seem to hold Fiona to the same unattainable standards and put her on a pedestal as if she wasnt a child that was forced to intensely grow up while never actually being raised

like lets put this into perspective and remember that fiona grew up surrounded by corrupt morals and insanely screwed up behaviour yet still emerged as messed up, yes, but surprisingly good considering the situation she was in??? she had to navigate basic things such as morals and being a good, responsible person on her own. imagine how difficult it must be to lead a bunch of kids, including yourself, with no previous role model or good example of your own to follow. most of the time, she always tried to do what she thought was best and would have the most desirable outcome

historical fiction language & diction choices (especially deliberate anachronism) and their relationship to character voice is so funny. like one can write 300k words of vicious 19th c american outlaws with barely a misplaced "fuck" uttered, but here one (1) medieval lord walks onstage and cannot get through 3 sentences without bleating WELL FUCK ME, I DON'T FUCKING KNOW????

[skaruresonic]

SH2 remake defense posts are giving me actual flashbacks to IDW stans going "don't ruin my enjoyment, you're personally harassing me and this is why we can't have nice things" and making strawmen of your concerns while also missing the point of the criticism by a mile. The wording and sentiments are exactly the same.

I wonder if this is just how fandom is now, where criticism is considered toxic regardless of what you say, how you say it, or in what quantity. Shut up and enjoy Product(tm), you're harshing my buzz.

i love hearing old ladies share about their vintage fashion doll collections. like doll collectors on social media skew very young bc duh it's social media but there's something extremely comforting about pre-internet era collectors sharing their knowledge and history.

Sometimes I get a bit ticked about the whole "invisible Canada" thing, but I went to a visiting scholar lecture about the Battle of the North Atlantic in WW2 from a British academic this morning, and he verbatim said: "Canada isn't involved enough it makes a difference." And the friend I went with pats my shoulder like, "I'm sure you guys did everything that you could do."

If that isn't the most concise summation of general opinions of Atlantic history I've ever seen, I'll never see a better one.

Everytime I remember how Shota, HoriNatsu and Jimmy were the EXPG Nagoya elite performer trio and considering his dance ability, he was probably also considered to get into fanta

And how if that happened, we might have never hear his rap????

It also makes me wonder when did Jimmy or Idh discovered his singing ability…….

[deadwardianpoltergeist]

honestly I feel like one of the biggest problems with the “mspec lesbians aren’t valid” argument is that people aren’t effectively explaining why it wouldn’t be valid

listen, I don’t have any stance on the matter, because I don’t really know how to feel

however I do have a stance on people saying “it gives lgbt people a bad rep” because that phrase is so fucking stupid. if somebody lets something that small affect how they see a group as big as the lgbt then they were probably looking for an excuse to hate us anyway

if you were to say something like “the way our language has evolved has made the term lesbian important in removing us from attraction to men” and went off in how important the removal from men is and how it helped you and stuff that would be a decent argument but I don’t see people saying that.

or even people against demiboy lesbians fighting with native spanish speakers about it when the fact is they don’t mean demiboy the same way we do

personally I’d never be able to id as a lesbian but that’s how I feel and how my experiences affect me, and I’m not going to fight over histories that I not only don’t have a full enough understanding of, but I also don’t have any emotional connection to or personal history with

generally though I don’t understand the meaningless “that’s not what the word means” EXPLAIN IT. explain why it needs to mean what it does, don’t just go “because I say so” because that doesn’t WORK. explain why it’s hurtful and takes away from people, source shit and get meaningful opinions from the people it affects

people aren’t willing to have proper debates, it’s always straight to meaningless argument and you don’t get things done that way

you don’t get to a solution for things by yelling. if you see a problem, use your silly little human brain and try to SOLVE it, and LISTEN to people and their feelings

Vanitas and Noe being foils even down to their names. An archivist and an art genre dedicated to transience. Like parallel lines running side by side, so close to touching, but never truly intersecting. I’m so fucking sick

Went to the Peter Wentz’s farm today, which was Washington’s HQ before and after the Battle of Germantown! Washington actually paid back the invoices given to him by the Wentz family, which is very kind of him considering he and his army of twenty somethings ate their food and slept in their house for several days. More importantly yada yada battles cool yeah there were POLKA DOTS. POLKA DOTS EVERYWHERE. The original wall even shows that the polka dots are historically accurate and were original to the house. They also have sheep and cows and it’s very scenic. Visit if you can!

Just found out the Mormon church took a whole ass cabin built by my 4th great grandfather in Thistle Canyon in Utah, moved it to Nauvoo, and now rents it out to guests as an “authentic pioneer homestead cabin.” This is so fucking funny
