#the prosecution rests

NO BUT REALLY CAN WE TALK ABOUT BRUNO?!

I know this movie is old and stuff at this point but this is bothering me today so I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON "WE DON'T TALK ABOUT BRUNO".

So the song establishes later that everyone is describing Bruno from their own biased perspectives (except maybe Dolores) with the most obvious case: Camillo.

Seven foot frame? Maybe to like a 5 year old sure, he's pretty tall and lanky, and that's the only perspective he has. He literally hasn't seen him in years. Rats along his back? Yeah sure my boy loves his rat buddies but like Camillo my guy where are you getting this? Have you spotted him? Did Bruno always like rats? Unclear.

SO NOW I CAN GET INTO THE REAL ISSUE OF HIS FUCKING SISTER.

Pepa, your wedding was OVER A DECADE AGO. YOU ARE HOLDING A HELL OF A GRUDGE.

"Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin"? That awkward autistic son of a bitch probably was awkwardly smiling and trying to make small talk because his sister was freaking out about the wedding.

"Bruno says it looks like rain, in doing so he floods my brain"? I honestly think he was trying to make a (badly presented) joke to help her calm down. Pepa, girl, you control the weather. Any predictions about weather with you do not apply. What happened was he was probably trying to point out she was stressed with a little joke of "looks like rain", as in "Pepa you look stressed and you control the weather so like it rains when you're stressed haha oh god I'm bad at this" and she just RAN with it.

That girl thought her brother ruined her wedding with a weather prediction when

a) Girl controls the weather b) It is NOT JUST ABOUT YOU (poor Felix, man keeps interjecting with shit like "it was our wedding day" and "still a joyous day but anyway" when she is being an absolute bridezilla about it three kids later). c) There is no way you don't realize your brother is an autistic mess by this point. Like why would you not have talked to him about this. Why are you holding a grudge over a decade after you got married. Your brother is MISSING and you actively want to erase his memory because he made you annoyed?

In conclusion: Fuck Pepa, Justice for Bruno

listen okay. eddie fender is probably the best alternative that they could have come up with and i give props for that.

but i was going to not like any alternative. no matter what. because raymond shields is a perfect name. it's cool and evocative and heroic-sounding, it has a star wars reference in it, from the minute i first heard it in a fic i was intrigued. "raymond shields?? who is that??? 👀"

and then you find out the name belongs to this kinda-pervy doofus and it's hilarious.

but then!!! towards the end of aai2 when miles is really backed into a corner and he gives him some inspiring words and tells him his dad would be proud of him...i feel inspired. he totally earns the cool name.

it's the perfect name and anything less than perfection for my boy was gonna disappoint me.

i know i’m late but i heard of the murder of marcellus khalifa williams. inna lillahi wa ilayhi raji’un. may god take him as a martyr and raise him to the highest levels of paradise

god curse the people who murdered this innocent man. they never cared if he was behind it. he was black and a muslim, and in their eyes that was enough reason for him to die

In light of recent maybe-news and some tumblr discourse, I'd just like to remind people that "16 is the age of consent" is not quite how it works and fucking people over 16 is still illegal if you groomed them. You can't just wait it out, and what can count as grooming is broad, and if grooming is established to have occurred before 16 then actions over that age that otherwise would be like, flirting or being nice, may be considered grooming too. Now if there will be a prosecution is a whole different issue, we know CPS don't give a shit in many cases. But legally speaking its a bit noncey. Even if theyre "legal". Just so we are clear.

missed chance in mha to show the trials and tribulations of the remedial course group just for Bakugo and Todoroki to immediately get charged with vigilantism because they decimated a guy just a few hours before the licensing paperwork was fully processed

Bread, playing the Edgeworth defense case: "he's a god of prosecution, Wright! A god!"

Me, thinking about a Spiderverse TikTok: what's a god to a nonbeliever, Edgeworth? Aka I could just kill him

[rraskolnikov]

why are people acting like the actions of the biden administration won’t have lasting consequences for the people of palestine? not only the dead but those who have lost their homes, livelihoods, and family members, not to mention the loss of life supporting infrastructure? but my bad i guess they’re just not as important as white americans

Why are people acting like another Trump administration couldn't possibly have any lasting consequences, when we're still dealing with the aftermath of the Reagan administration now.

I have been thinking lately about a universe where Bruce Wayne killed the Joker.

I want to be clear here, since there are so many longstanding debates on this topic: I do not think Bruce Wayne should kill the Joker. I have just been wondering what would happen if the circumstances aligned in such a way that he did.

And to be clear on a related, yet slightly different topic: when I say I have been wondering about what if Bruce Wayne killed the Joker, I do not mean as the Batman. I mean Bruce "Brucie" Wayne.

Maybe it's kind of an accident? Like, he definitely did intend to hit the Joker, but he's Brucie right now, so he's trying not to look like he knows what he's doing while still doing enough damage to keep the Joker from killing someone, and meanwhile the Joker makes just the wrong move and -

And here we are. Brucie just killed the Joker.

Bruce's reaction here is one thing; he has his one rule for a reason, he's just broken it, he's determined to turn himself in -

His family's reaction is a whole different story. How does Cass feel about this?

How does Jason? Bruce has killed the Joker, just like he wanted, but it wasn't for him, not really, and -

And meanwhile, this happens in front of, say, a gala full of people, so now all of Gotham gets to react to it too.

Average Gothamite, seeing the words BRUCE WAYNE, JOKER, and KILLED in the same headline: OH, NO.

Average Gothamite, once they've processed the order those words are actually in: . . . I did not have that on this year's bingo card.

The city's most famous mass murderer has just been publicly killed by the city's biggest employer/philanthropist/source of tabloid harmless nonsense! Three days before Brucie was making tabloid headlines by tripping into a fountain and somehow losing his shirt in the process! Two weeks before, the newspaper was running a retrospective on the Wayne murders and what donation Brucie was making to help the families of victims this year! The article mentioned how one of his adopted sons had also tragically become a murder victim!

Now this has happened, and Bruce is having a breakdown over breaking his one rule, and the rest of Gotham just assumes that this is because poor Brucie thinks this somehow makes him like the man who killed his parents. They send a huge outpouring of support his way. This in no way helps Bruce's actual breakdown.

Ninety percent of Gotham is sure Brucie didn't actually mean to kill the Joker, and pretty much a hundred percent of them support him whether he meant to do it or not. No one wants to have anything to do with prosecuting this mess. Bruce is trying to make it as clear as possible that he will fully cooperate with the justice system and meanwhile an entire gala full of people is suddenly acting like they could in no way have possibly witnessed events that took place ten feet in front of their faces. Did Bruce kill the Joker? Is the officer sure? That doesn't seem like him. Maybe the Joker just tripped on his own. Marble floors, you know. Very slippery.
