He yeeted two guys off a tower.

It was totally pointless too. What Mushu? Would they not have listened to a talking dragon or something? What?

I love that identity reveals between Jim Gordon and Bruce in fic almost always go the same way. Bruce goes "How did you know? Was it my acting?" and nine times out of ten Jim says something along the lines of "No, your acting was phenomenal. You gave yourself away by caring too much, Mr. Wayne."

Because the billionaire playboy cover was perfect and damn near airtight until one Bruce Wayne leapt in front of someone else during a holdup at a gala and "accidentally" got shot. No self-involved airhead with that much money riding on his life would ever -- ever -- let himself think of someone else in that moment.

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

Been having Secretly Smart Steve thoughts except it's less that his intellect is a secret and more that nobody ever noticed lmao

The initial thought for this is based on my mom's stories about acting like a ditzy airhead in high school but then graduating with honors

Within five minutes of walking into high school Steve definitely clocked that being cool was more important than being smart right? So he didn't really let on that he was good at class stuff and just let people think he was a simple jock

And Steve graduating isn't a huge thing cuz it happens during UD stuff which means they all miss graduation ceremony and just get their degrees later, so it's not like anyone saw the honors tassels that steve was given to wear with his grad gown

And the first real hint is Lucas trying to make a basket and getting frustrated. And Steve is like "here I'll show you" and proceeds to make every throw he makes from anywhere on the court and when Lucas asks how the fuck he does that Steve shrugs and is like "well, i mean, its all angles man"

Later Mike and Will are working on an egg drop project (you know the ones) and getting worked up cuz the eggs keep cracking. Steve has been watching TV or something the whole time and outta nowhere is like "yall are missing shock absorption and proper wind resistance, duh"

Nancy is trying to decode some number based cipher for fun but it's becoming rapidly Not Fun and Steve looks over her shoulder for like two seconds and goes "group the numbers into twos, subtract 18 from each, and then it's the alphabet letter based on the number" and then just walks off

Dustin is taking an engineering class and is having trouble building a bridge cuz it keeps collapsing when he sends a hot wheels car over it. Steve tells him he needs more load-bearing beams and to distribute the weight evenly and Dustin is surprised when it works

And, of course, Eddie sees all of this so one day when Max or Erica ask for help with some geometry homework he takes the worksheet they give him and immediately passes it along to Steve, waves off their disbelief, and sits all smug while Steve explains concepts they'd been missing entirely

A recent ask gave me hope... Maybe there's more Vanilla milkshake shippers out there than I thought, maybe they're just in hiding.

Bruce Wayne had a child that was somehow kidnapped right out of the hospital just hours after being born. He of them ever stopped looking despite how cold the trail had grown.

Years later there is some rouge attack and a civilian child was injured and taken to the hospital. Bruce does a DNA test on the blood found at the scene and concludes that the child is actually his long lost kid.

Dani was planning to sneak out of the hospital the moment the doctors stopped looking at her. Then Bruce Wayne of all people comes in and claims that she is his long lost child. She knows that this is very impossible because she is a clone, but Bruce won't listen to her and she really doesn't want to explain the clone thing to a "normal" stranger.

This does brings up a lot of questions about how Danny ended up living with the Fentons though.

I cannot stress this enough: Blake Lively made insensitive remarks in press tour interviews where she was explicitly told and contractually obligated to act and speak a certain way about a film she was in. For this, the internet was extremely quick and loud about wanting her to disappear off the face of the earth.

Justin Baldoni sexually harassed and assaulted, and encouraged an environment where it was normalized to harass and assault not only Blake Lively but multiple other women on set during the production of said film.

Justin Baldoni abused his power on set to put Blake Lively in situations where she was naked and vulnerable and being touched in ways that fell outside what was previously agreed upon in her contract and the script.

Justin Baldoni is a sexual predator who used feminism and combating toxic masculinity as part of his brand to hide his own vast shortcomings as a human being.

Justin Baldoni body shamed Blake Lively when she was four months post-partum under the spurious guise of avoiding exacerbating a back injury while lifting her, despite having full creative control over the script and despite stunt doubles existing, meaning there was no reason whatsoever he would ever have to lift her in the first place.

Justin Baldoni hired Johnny Depp's PR firm to "bury" Blake Lively (his word) when she pushed back against his treatment of her and other women on set.

Justin Baldoni intentionally departed without warning from the agreed upon Marketing campaign they were both meant to adhere to explicitly in order to appear sensitive and thoughtful on the issue of DV, and to make Blake, who adhered to her contractual obligations, look even more out of touch and callous by comparison.

Justin Baldoni shared the stories of sexual assault and domestic violence survivors on his socials to further paint himself as an ally to women in contrast to Blake Lively. Read it again. He explicitly used DV and SA survivors to cover up his own sexual abuse and further smear the woman he abused in retaliation for her pushing back.

Justin Baldoni is an abuser and a sexual predator, and he explicitly set out, in his own words, to destroy and bury one of the women he targeted for daring to fight back.

Where's the volume. Where's the VOLUME? It was EVERYWHERE within hours when it was her, but now it's been days and it's all so quiet and cautious and slow despite the court documents and text messages! Where are all the countless thinkpieces, youtuber video essays, notes app apologies for conclusions wrongly jumped to, why is it HALF as loud for something orders of magnitude worse than anything Blake Lively said on that press tour? Is this thing on??? IS ANYONE OUT THERE? HELLO???

when people think delilah just completely takes over and laudna has no control. when people think jester is just an uwu child who has been manipulated by every man she’s met. when people think vex is an empty husk of daddy issues without her brother by her side. when people think fjord is an arrogant asshole who doesn’t pay attention to the party around him. when people think scanlan saying that vox machina doesn’t care about him is an accurate assessment.

Every time you reach Rank 10 with a non-thief confidant, they reveal that they figured out you're a phantom thief. From an in-game standpoint it would be really funny if Joker discovered this pattern early on and yet STILL keeps hanging out with Akechi. Like... bro knows that if he manages to reach Rank 10 with Akechi then the detective twink (who constantly says he will put the phantom thieves in jail) will likely figure out that he's a phantom thief. Because that's what's been happening with EVERY confidant before him. But does that stop Joker from dropping everything to go on dates with him? Nope. What could possibly go wrong

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.

His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.

His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.

Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.

Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.

Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.

But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.

But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.

He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.

And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.

And the truth is worse than all of the lies.

How horrifying.
