Barry Allen nearly had a heart attack while scolding a Batkid about proper lab technique.

Only to find out that the root cause is Bruce, who learned everything he knows from studying alone or with crazy mad scientists he met on his travels, and taught them all kinds of shortcuts and "if your skin isn't green by the end it's a good lab day" kind of nonsense, which leads to Barry giving them all a formal lecture on biosafety and chemical hazards.

Reverse SKK AUs are so funny because we have this scary, edgy Mafia Executive who seems to be one step ahead of anyone who tries to get in his way and then one time you see your "mysterious" co-worker yelling at him and calling him a "bastard" without blinking and you just want to live and have your agency survive and not get nuked by the PM and suddenly the big scary Mafia guy devolves into a five-year-old child and starts yelling playground insults back at him.

I feel like I need a friend who's just a Normal Guy so I can run various things by them to see if they're common knowledge. I tried using my brother when I lived with my family but he insisted that nobody knew about coal mine canaries and that doesn't sound right. But what if he was right. What if it was normal of one of the supervisors at work to not know that mummies were real. How do I even know what's safe to assume that most other people know because I always get it wrong

“Dazai’s a better partner for Chuuya” “Fyodor’s a better partner for Chuuya” “He’s working with Dazai!” “He’s working with Fyodor!”

No. Ditch them both, take Sigma, and get the fuck out of there, please Chuuya I believe in you

the most important aspect of my trixie the pixie fanon characterization is that she is, MOST of the time, so close to being right. she is deeply intelligent and perceptive, she can match penny blow for blow in an argument and her critical thinking skills are a finely-hewn edge the likes of which you could use to slice through a mountain like butter

and if she ever used those critical thinking skills. well then maybe something would get fucking done around here. alas.

felix being referred to more or less exclusively as "your soldier" in-game speaks to how little the writers put into his character beyond his noggin full of sith secrets & his relationship with the consular; still, i do find it kind of sweet and funny, in a way. he's not a republic soldier, not even your personal bodyguard; he's your soldier. the consular is a small nation-state in and of herself

she did NOT gaf about shibusawa’s sad backstory i can't breathe

what do you think about Mitch x Buttercup?

Best Buttercup x regular human ship not even close. They are that damn weirdo friend pair everyone teases about dating and they INSIST they're just friends but actually end up developing mutual crushes in middle or high school. A lot of fanfics [even ones I love!!!] make Mitch a little bastart bitch who breaks Buttercup's heart, but after Ace I feel like she would never dare to be open with her feelings and let things get to the point of dating unless she were convinced that person simps for her hardcore. I think every kid in Pokey Oaks knows it would probably be suicide to fw any of the girls like that, no matter how stupid they grow up to be. Except Princess who canonically tore Bubbles' heart out in a chapter book, but it's Princess, lol.

Mitch gotta get a job or something though, and because he is redneck trailer park coded AS FUCK, he will 100% be a blue collar boy. I can see him being part of Townsville's reconstruction crews and helping sort shit after Powerpuff business.

So, yes. Mitch is Buttercup's future blue collar malewife, and he's one of the only men she trusts. It is law.

Side note, I pray for any human getting shipped with the PPG, it is what it is, but in Buttercup's case it could actually contribute to her running arc of practicing self-restraint, which is nice.

Idea I'm too tired to write properly:

Larryboy's driving through Bumblyburg on the trail of the Milkmoney Bandit (that one scallion mugger from the cold open of the Rumor Weed), whose been acting unusual lately. Not only is he doing more high-profile thefts than usual (he's got a very specific range, you know? it's in the name and everything), and not sticking to the shadows as well as normal, but he's been doing more thefts instead of fewer despite it almost being summer vacation (again, he's usually very particular about specifically taking milk money from school kids, so summer's his off-season). Larryboy managed to plant a tracker into the change the Bandit took in his most recent heist, and is following the signal to the warehouse district (it's a superhero city, gotta have a warehouse district).

He sneaks in, corners the Bandit with his usual theatrics... only to pause when he realizes that the Bandit looks really pale and wobbly. And then he glitches and says that his recent crimewave happened because "they" said they'd give him The Antidote if he did what they said. And when Larryboy questions this, one of Garyboy's plungers wraps him up and the virus comes out of the shadows.

As he's an eggplant of his word, he gives the Bandit a syringe containing the patch that'll purge the low-level malware in his system and tells him to skedaddle. Once the two are alone there's some hero-villain banter exchanged, they catch each-other up on what they've been doing lately (within reason. neither of them is about to reveal anything actually useful to one of their worst enemies), and eventually Larryboy manages to get loose.

The fight commences, during which it's revealed that Larry's suit has been reinforced to the point where Gary can't bite him through it. Larry's the more skilled fighter and Gary's stronger and has his Hydra powers, which makes them pretty evenly matched, at least until they've been fighting for a while and we're reminded that Code-Level entities don't get tired as fast as Character-Level entities (at east on average), so Gary gets the upper hand... metaphorically speaking.

Thankfully, he's not here to finish the job this time. Instead, he's here to show off a new trick he learned. He shoots a plunger (on a stick instead of a cord. that is something the super-suction ears can do even if it's only happened once in the Fib from Outer Space as a slapstick thing) at the Larrymobile, causing it to transform. Obviously it switches to Garyboy's color scheme, but it also gets a bit bigger and changes its signature smooth cucumber-shape into something more angular with segmented armor plating.

And, of course, once it's fully become the Garymobile Garryboy gains the ability to control it remotely. He takes it for a spin, knocking Larryboy around in the process, before portaling out. Communications come back online (because of course Garyboy was jamming his signal on top of everything else) and when Alfred asks if Larry's alright all he can think to say is that he needs a new car.

Look I don't dislike Tim Drake, honestly I actually do like him well enough, and more importantly he's interesting. I read some of the stuff with him in it and it was good! But as much as I am a firm believer on "don't engage with fandom too much and definitely don't let it inform your opinions" I have to admit I would have just SO much of a warmer attitude towards him if we stopped writing little imagines where he has the exact personality of a not-like-other-girls Fantasy-Romance protagonist and putting them on my fyp all of the time over the past 8 years. "Tim Drake seems so sweet and innocent and everyone goes on about how small and innocent he is but actually he did something super badass and cool and fucking blew up 20 batman villains in one night and everyone who's ever met him stopped in their tracks to gasp at how hardcore and badass he was!" I'm sorry but no he did not. He is, at his core, the most everyman trendy coolguy teenage boy from the 90s possibly ever! And that's beautiful, and necessary for the ecosystem. But we need to be real. At any given time there's a 50 percent chance he's listening to Oasis or some shit with Kon and the other fifty percent is doing Stephanie Brown dirty.

it's nuts how much of a long con the master's plans are. like spyfall already took presumably years to set up, but in potd theres 8 years between phases. he does the seismology unit bit and then fucks off to siberia for 8 years to eventually get the doctor in saint petersburg. thats nuts

OP I hope you know your banger headcanons have got me to start wondering if there’s memes on the extranet about stuff like “introducing your Galvan friend to your Tetramand friend vs introducing your Cerebrocrustacean friend to your Appoplexian friend”

Anon I also hope you know that my first thought after I saw this ask had kinda ‘Introducing our bass player to things he’s never seen before’ vibes I guess especially for the galvan friend, who in the world of Whatudottu (and all the influences I have) headcanons is the stereotypically socially isolated intelligent species between them and cerebrocrustaceans lmao-

…hmm I wonder if I should add the names of Ben 10 aliens into my dictionary :P

Hehe, I’ll admit that while I have headcanons on the fly for galvans and cerebrocrustaceans to guess at how they’ll react interacting with a friend’s friend (ccs being more obvious and welcoming in the friend group, potentially galvans having jealousy issues or even just fascination someone can have more than one friend and ones with such differences), but I have no idea how tetramands and appoplexians would react lmao, at least not beyond your appoplexian friend being confounded by how nice your cerebrocrustacean friend is (potentially versus any bias they might’ve learnt) met with a mutual confusion when your cerebrocrustacean friend sees you and your appoplexian friend verbally and or physically roughhousing :P
