SOMEBODY GET THESE TWO A PODCAST TOGETHER

[superbat-lmao]

Jason travels to an alternate universe where Bruce only cares about being Batman. He took in each of his kids to serve the mission, not be his children.

Now, faced with alternate versions of his family, Jason has to grapple with the fact that his Bruce does care, that he is his father. Because the man in front of him now, trying to send him home, isn’t even close.

Remember when Chimney packed up his infant daughter and left the 118 to go find Maddie and no one knew if or when he was coming back, and his best friend and longtime work partner who never even attempted to co-parent his child just gave him a big hug and smiled a little bit sadly and wished him luck, no muss no fuss?

MEANWHILE, freak4freak over there

The Significance of the Key and how it ties back to a Cut Scene

So two-ish weeks ago I reblogged @le-trash-prince post remarking in the tags that I had noticed an old-fashioned key by Kim's hand.

Which that observation got promptly forgotten in the wake of all of that with the feeding scene. (Can you blame me?)

But today in episode 8, we get this scene:

Kenta handing off an old-fashioned key to Pete to investigate - one we learn through mostly a flashback (and Kenta explaining) that it was from Way and held ties to a secret group inside Tony's organization. (One Way was in or at least had enough dirt on that Manit tried to recruit him for his knowledge to overthrow Tony.)

The whole scene, but these two sentences (only half seen in the first pic) I've screen shot really pinged something in my brain.

"Before the incident with the Chen family, Way handed me this key." "And I ended up in jail."

It reminded me of very similar verbiage of this behind-the-scenes sentence that we know got cut from the show.

That got me thinking that what was cut from the feeding scene was Kenta showing Kim the key and giving a condensed and/or vague explanation of what we learned in episode 8.

Which, considering what I know of television writing and storytelling, makes absolutely perfect sense why it got cut.

If we were already going to get the exposition of the key through a flashback and Kenta explaining it to Pete, then unless Kim himself is going to be the Key (pun unintended) to its eventual use and/or discovery of its use - then there is no need for the key to be introduced during the feeding scene two episodes prior. Hence why the whole key part of episode 6 was cut - the show is working with a limited amount of time to fit as much content/plot in the narrative as possible, so anything unnecessary is going to hit the editing floor.

(Could they maybe have edited out the cut parts a little more smoothly? Sure. It was likely hard to not include any shots that had the key. Could they have maybe shot something to fill that cut content? Absolutely. Likely through the limited time and money left for the editing, what aired was the best they could manage.)

It does, however, mean that we as the fandom can take that canon-adjacent information and apply it to the narrative of the story/plot (through meta or fanfiction or whatever) if we so choose to! 🤗🤗

On another note:

I am about 99.9% sure that this box right here is what the key is going to open. We'll just have to see if that's the case in later episodes!

Queer relationships don’t need to be validated or made canon through a kiss. There’s such a double standard that when characters of the opposite sex are so much as friendly to each other they are now canonically romanticly involved but characters of the same sex/those who are genderless can literally do all sorts of romantic things and straight people will rationalize it to an absurd degree. They will only accept it’s romantic when there is a kiss or an “I love you” (and even then they will find ridiculous ways to say it’s platonic) and that’s unfair and disingenuous to what romantic relationships are. Let characters be in a canonical relationship without the need for explicit physical intimacy.

That being said Eddie and Venom better make out sloppy style in this movie or I swear to god.

I DONT THINK CLACE IS GONNA NAME ANY OF THERE FUTURE BABYS AFTER DEAD FAMILY MEMBERS OR PAST HERONDALE NAMES

May I give Insaine!Narrator headpats? (I love him sm. He is now one of my many Narrator sons/children.🫶🏻)

Only Stanley is allow to... unless you manage to be really close to him that is.

i think nephset is very fun to think about and analyze because nephthys basically revolves around seth (and seth to nephthys in a similar vein) (minus the whole "being hypnotized by osiris and forced to carry their baby (anubis) and lying to seth about it. which is not really her fault) (also i dont care what anyone else says anubis is seths son) but i find it very odd that when present day nephseth is brought up especially in the newer chapters theres this. pushback to it. and the reason why really feels like its because she gets in the way of the yaoi rather than it being the fact that they probably would not work together anymore

like dont get me wrong. i currently believe that seth and nephthys cannot come together again without it being really awkward. it has been awkward for so long and their relationship has been strained so much by seths insanity that it definitely does not work. if it were to work they would need intense couples counciling (that would also not exist). however i feel like most people struggle to realize you can both ship/like/think about nephseth along with horuseth and it doesnt devalue the latter at all

[spiltcandycoatedpunkblood]

remember when the Doctor gave more mercy to the Daleks and Davros. y'know, genocidal killing machines as explicit stand-ins for the fucking Nazis? who, even after witnessing Davros almost wipe out THE ENTIRETY OF REALITY ITSELF actually tried to help him?

yeah. yeah. yeah, I remember that. does RTD or any of the other writers remember that?

but having a stand in for a pro-Palestinian genocide survivor and freedom fighter who was deliberately painted as wanting to kill 3 trillion people because the corporation genocided his home planet? ah. step too far. can't have that, can we?

[buddiesmutslut]

Buddie being together & possibly one of them being transferred out bc they can’t work together only to be put in a situation that they have to chose a patient over their injured partner a la Flashpoint

fascinating seeing ppl on twitter see someone who they think is just a regular sex-negative abstinence-only conservative troll only to slowly realize their actual belief system is that humans in their entirety should never have sex bcuz reproduction is inherently immoral and unnatural and humans should go extinct so we no longer experience rape abuse cancer suffering etc which we deserve. and that they believe their existence is making the world a worse place and their mother shouldve never given birth to them. like when u think someone is a level one tier bigoted conservative crazy person and then u discover a type of guy you didnt even know existed. can't even really be mad about that cuz it isnt like this is a mainstream public opinion. this is just some weird guy on twitter who wants to annihilate humanity

high maintance... sorry i had to draw the enemies as lovers :^(

It can be really embarrassing to have a special interest in something deemed for children. I have a special interest in puppetry/henson creations and I’m really passionate about early childhood entertainment and education (specifically public broadcasting tv for kids. I think it’s incredibly important that children have that) and me and my best friend (who also loves this stuff) are planning a trip to Sesame Place park because hell yeah we love amusement parks and we love Sesame Street. I am so excited for this trip. And I cannot express that because I am a grown ass adult excited to go to the Elmo park. I can’t even express that I love it and it’s my career goal to create stuff like Sesame Street because then people are like lmfao you want to be a puppeteer? Can a girl not want to see Elmo without shame can I not get really excited to see Big Bird?? This world is a prison.

Someone somewhere has talked about this I’m sure but I imagine vividly Mulder flourishing post-FBI as a college professor. Who would hire a professor of the paranormal and extraterrestrial? Who knows. Anyway. They should put Mulder in his natural habitat— and if it’s not out in the field licking indeterminable substances and jumping off trains, it’s in a dimly lit room with a well-prepared slide deck and an hour and a half of lecture to talk through.
