It all makes sense now...

this was a HUGE deal like that hasn't occurred since 2010

honestly when dan used a heart emoji in his birthday tweet to phil this year we should've known there was danger coming down the line

Jason knows Bruce loved him that's why he's so pissed that Jokers still alive, he wants Bruce to PROVE that he still loves Jason by letting him kill his murderer, by choosing him.

The point of Red Hood is doing what Batman can't and nothing Bruce or Dick can say would change that Joker is still alive and there's another Robin who's going to suffer.

"Jason come home we still love you despite the murders ����" Okay then prove it, watch me put a bullet through the head of the man who murdered me and then let me come home. No? You can't? Well then I guess I was right the entire time and you're all useless and will never love me as I am. I'm going to non-fatally but very painfully hurt you now btw.

^ how it would actually go if Dick or Bruce or whoever found out his identity early

I guess by post-quali interviews that French bald man got too cocky and forgot what happened to the last TP. When the car is shit and team underperforms time and time again, putting all the blame for shitty quali results on both your drivers is certainly a choice.

Charles, that second RB seat is practically on the market again, maybe you should reconsider.

Yeah I'm done defending that bald man. I'm officially bringing back Lestappen Gate AKA Charles defects to Red Bull and brings the three people who are holding Ferrari together with him.

“Wow. So they look identical, but they might kill you or they might save you,” Callum said. “Exactly. Just like me…” Rayla smiled.

When I was a young excited physics student I went down to my advisor and asked for a job in a lab. Those of you who are in the sciences may recognize this as exceedingly common, most schools with science departments will hire undergrads for their labs both to give the undergrads experience and to have someone comparatively cheap to do the least skilled labor in those labs.

For me, the lab I was sent to was one doing cool photonics projects and I was assigned to a guy who was doing the theoretical modeling for them and I got put on a side project for them to develop a method to double check their results using Monte Carlo simulations.

Put bluntly, I toiled away in the little cubicle they had me in for about half a year before I transferred to a different school without ever having produced anything of any particular value other than a Monte Carlo simulation whose temperature readings were not taking into account the existence of a heat sink and therefore got overwhelmed by thermal photons in a completely inaccurate and unhelpful way.

Ultimately, many tasks, farmed out like this in a speculative way to undergrads, fail, certainly it's not exceptional that mine did and I learned a lot about the process in the process, so it wasn't wasted time for me, but it produced absolutely nothing the lab could use to further its results.

This is where it turns from a little anecdote about my work history into a morality tale, because what I have thus far deliberately failed to tell you is that the lab I was assigned to is a provider of radar services to the US Military. Had I produced anything of any value whatsoever the work I did would have been used by the US military to help with its capacity to deliver bombs. This is, unfortunately, as those of you who are in the sciences may recognize, also exceedingly common. Luckily, and through no foresight or moral thinking of my own, simply the inexperience of youth, I produced nothing of value but view the path they tried to set me down as a grim warning of what might have been.

I'm not asking for forgiveness, the harm I might have done was not done by me, although I'm also sure was done without my help. They didn't need it to be me they just needed someone with basic calculus knowledge who wouldn't think too hard about the connection between the work and the world, and they were happy enough that particular warm body was me.

So this is my plea, if you're young and getting involved in the sciences because you're passionate about knowledge and understanding our place in the universe. When you go to get that job in that lab that's such a good stepping stone to the next thing you want to do, take a second and look into where that lab's funding is coming from. If it turns out it's the military, maybe then take another second and really deeply consider what kind of thing your work can be used to do and if you would like some of the most bloodthirsty people on the planet to be able to do that thing because of your help.

I got lucky that I didn't help, but I'm hoping that with this warning you might be able to not help on purpose which is a greater moral good than what I managed.

Me: Okay, so we're doing kinktober and already have everything planned out.

*sees a horrortober prompt list*

Me: We already have stuff planned! We're not doing anything else! >:(

My brain: But-but what about Cryptid!Hiccup...

Me: No.

My brain: Vigcup Cryptid!Hiccup AU

Me: NO.

My brain: Hiccup leaves Berk before his final assessment and becomes a cryptid after spending time with Toothless and other dragons. He haunts and lurks around the Archipelago as something inhuman. Encounters Viggo and their both intrigued about the other.

Me: *softly* please dont

My brain: Cryptid!Hiccup who only appears at night and is never seen in the daylight. Cryptid!Hiccup who hates the sun/torch light. Cryptid!Hiccup who chirps, trills, whistles, howls, and hisses. Cryptid!Hiccup who observers Viggo but stays firmly in the shadows. Viggo, who is just as curious as him, talks about random topics, noting what seems to get the best reaction out of him, and leaving gifts for him to find. Viggo leaving out Maces and Talons and inviting himCryptid!Hiccup to play. Viggo looking away or blinking, and Cryptid!Hiccups piece being moved. Them playing and "chatting" until the sun comes up. The sun rising and Cryptid!Hiccup being sad to leave but promising to return before disappearing. Viggo going on hunts and returning to his cabin to see the game, that was previously left in his tent, upon his desk and it being his move. Cryptid!Hiccup eventually giving Viggo his name even if it takes a few attempts until he spells it out; as the words came out in distorted echoed whistles, warbles, and whines. Viggo and Cryptid!Hiccup slowly getting closer and closer. Cryptid!Hiccup watching during the day from the shadows as Viggo nearly ends up dying. Cryptid!Hiccup then stepping in and rescuing Viggo but ending up injured in the process. Viggo trying to take care of Cryptid!Hiccup and taking in his revealed form.

I'm actually nears tears in frustration and disappointment from that episode. My expectations were on the ground considering stuff we knew beforehand but...wow. They really don't give a shit about queer women, do they? To not even have a single real conversation between the two bisexual women who are married on the show in a Pride episode? Like are you serious? A 10 second montage just thrown in at the end? As if we don't mean shit.

90% of that stuff could've been in another episode. I don't need to see Beckett's stupid ass. Don't get me wrong, I like Carina and Bailey scenes but for the love of God, that couldn't happen in literally ANY other episode? It's so much worse that they weren't even working and that's why they weren't at the parade. They just weren't there so Carina could try and sleep??? Really??

But of course let's give the cheating gay man all the time in the world to process his relationship with a man who has been on the show for less than a season, to have heartfelt conversations with his shitty ass cheating father (like father like son I guess) and make sure they get their time to shine during Pride because that's what matters most, right?

And then Maya...Maya who was like a background character at the Pride parade. Maya who finds out her brother is a homophobic piece of trash and somehow Andy is still highlighted more than she is. That was the most anti climatic way to bring Mason back considering they made him a piece of shit and I wonder if they're bringing him back again but I'm too annoyed to care at this point.

Then we don't even get to see Maya talk about it with Carina because why would we? Why would we see Carina talk about the lawsuit or struggling handling motherhood with Maya? They always have to have these conversations with other people. ALWAYS. I am all for friendship dynamics but when Maya and Carina are constantly having these conversations with other people and never with each other it's beyond exhausting. Let them have these conversations. Enough of the fucking montages.

But don't worry...we got to see yet another proposal from Sullivan to Ross and we got to see all the straights dancing all happy at the end of the Pride episode and Travis got to have his moment with his father so I guess everything is all good, right?

I've never felt more disheartened and upset after an episode since 5B. And this feels way more personal than that. I really don't know what else to say except this really sucks. Not even the potential of Marina scenes in Stefania's episode next week is making me happy right now because those will somehow probably be rushed too to make way for the men and straights. The writers told us where they prioritize queer women tonight.

Whatever you do,

Don't think about a little girl alone and isolated in a colorful room full of her favorite blocks

Don't think of her reading books of the tales of Anne Bonny to give herself hope and courage, so she doesn't cry herself to sleep again

Don't think about a little girl waking up in the morning to faceless workers marching her down long, blinding corridors to be experimented on for hours every day

Don't think of her crying for help as they mercilessly pluck her feathers from her wings, and no one aiding her because no one was there to hear her pleas for comfort

Don't think about the little girl escaping from the evil Federation's grasp with the little strength she could muster and grow up with no memories of the hell she came from, only to be caged once again and brought back to relive the horrors

(Yes, this is about q!baghera, yes I'm not over her lore, yes I'm still reeling that q!baghera was a child experiment and was possibly kidnapped)
