#what about the trades?

[batcavescolony]

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

This is great! Though question: How are the plumbers doing in Gotham? Or even any of the trades that use water as a tool? (Cutting metal needs some sort of coolant that is mixed with water if done repeatedly, cleaning in general with mopping or rinsing things off, etc) Do they have to ship in water? Is there a max amount of time bottled water can be in Gotham before it counts as Gotham Water TM?

…. Do any of the bats include a water gun in their utility belts to slow/stop runners?

Mermay Special Prompt 3

“Are you kidding? No one goes to Gotham, that place is like,” Aquaman made a motion with his hand, a not-quite grimace on his face. “Like things should not be living in the water, like it should be impossible, and things should be dead, but they aren’t and it’s like, like the equivalent of an undead apocalypse over there!” 

Bruce rolled his eyes behind his cowl, taking a sip of his coffee as the others continued drinking. Socialize, they said, it’ll be fine they said. Well excuse him, but the waters weren’t that bad. Sure there were always dumped bodies, and chemicals from the rogue attacks, but it was far worse at one point.

One thing he’ll always be relieved for is how the… curse (thank you broken statuette back in the beginning of his vigilante career that fused with the other many curses of Gotham) made the people of Gotham actually care about the waters around them. 

Though also, he couldn’t help but thank anything that might be listening for the fact that the curse only interacted with Gotham waters, because losing legs with any risk of a drop of water would be downright annoying. 

“No dude, you don’t understand, no one goes there for a reason! That shit is horrific- someone saw a big thing with bits of rebar stabbed straight through it and still chased after a big alligator-thing!” Oh. Oh that had been him. Oops. Hopefully his kids didn’t find out about this, but they were probably already on the cameras. Dammnit.

After Rei is hospitalized, Endeavor realizes he needs someone to take care of Shouto. Also, the house needs cleaning. Fuyumi helps, but she can't drive or take Shouto to doctor's appointments or things like that. He especially wants someone who can drive to take care of him because he doesn't like the idea of people gawking at his scar on public transport and spreading gossip about what happened. So he decided to hire a nanny.

Meanwhile, Midoriya Hisashi has stopped sending money to his family. Inko wants a divorce, but he won't return to Japan, so it's a drawn-out legal process for the separation to happen, and the lawyer fees are costing money. Even once they're separated, she knows Hisashi won't pay child support. As long as he stays in America, it'll be next to impossible to hold him accountable. She needs money, so when she hears the Endeavor Agency is hiring, she applies, fully expecting not to get it. She does.

Option A: She can now afford her apartment, and she drives to work every day in time to take Shouto to school. However, Izuku has come home a few times now with burns. He lies and says there's a disgruntled salaryman on the train that singes people with his fire quirk when they don't give up their spot. Concerned, she starts driving him to school. This is easy because his school is on the way to Shouto's private school. The boys just have to ride together. For nine years, Shouto and Izuku share twenty-minutes a day together in the back of Inko's car, driving to and from school. They become hesitant friends, and by UA are both in love and both just as certain it's unrequited.

Option B: Endeavor wants a 24/7 nanny. If Inko agrees to move in, he'll allow her to bring her son with her. They'll even both get their own room, and he'll pay for their food, provided Inko does the shopping and cooking. And thus, Izuku finds himself living with Shouto when they're both six. They become hesitant friends, and by UA are both in love and both just as certain it's unrequited.

@jamjoob ‘s harley for another trade 🤭

[id: It’s a drawing of Harley Quinn where she is depicted as a Black woman with pale skin and locs which are tied into pigtails. She wears a black sports bra, a mesh top, pink-purple jeans, a large belt, a pair of orange-lensed goggles, and a jacket which is half pink, half black. In the drawing, she is holding a bat which reads “GOOD NIGHT” over her shoulders. /end id]

Wayne Family Adventures literally had 2 entire seasons worth of healthy dad Bruce who sits down and talks with his kids. He brought Jason down from a nervous breakdown. He got Damian a dog. He told Tim that it's Batman who looks out for Robin. He felt incredible guilt over missing even one of Cass' recitals. He plays with the kids, he takes care of them, he talks with them about family and what they mean to him. He puts in the work.

And yet we still have people coming out of the woodworks to claim that being an asshole is "integral to his character" the one time he says fuckshit to the kids.

Look I came from from multiple abusive households (yeah that's right I'm pulling this card). I know what that looks like. This ain't it. What Bruce said is fucked up, no doubt about it. But this is after potentially years of kindness and heartfelt discussions. Saying something fucked after all that healthy behavior isn't abuse, it's a call for help. And that's what the kids are trying to do. He's scared. He even admitted to Damian that none of it matters as long as they're safe.

This arc isn't to point and go "oh look at how horrible Batman is and how he treats his family". It's showing how grief and trauma can twist the people you love into something that hurts, and the effort and pain needed on both sides to fix that (like in the Jason episode, how he lost control and almost hurt Dick and then told them to take care of Bruce). Keeping this idea that violence and abuse is integral to Batman and his relationships is the same mentality that has kept main timeline Bruce in that behavior for the last god-knows-how-long.

The Interview with the Vampire movie had its 30th anniversary this week so here is the portion of Tom Cruise’s 1994 Interview Magazine interview in character as Lestat

[cupidsncheerios]

as much as i enjoy seeing the class politics discussions around silco and his actions as a chembaron and a revolutionary, i do think that a lot of people condemning his actions (which we should condemn) miss the part where like.

it did work

like that was a pretty significant part of the show. it didnt pan out because he loved his daughter but silco's methods very much did get zaun as an independent nation, the real question is if it was worth it (which we'll never know bc jinx shot him)

playing AAI ahead of the rerelease and I just felt the need to shout about this wonderful detail about Franziska’s (left) and Edgeworth’s (right) phones

obviously this game is a product of its time, but even for 2009 Edgeworth’s phone is a bit dated. it’s plain and utilitarian, and it is clearly meant for little more than phone calls. texting on that thing would be a chore (edit: likely impossible). Franziska’s, however, is more modern, suited to her aesthetic tastes, and even flips open sideways to reveal a full keyboard. I think this is mostly a bit of inconsequential world-building, but if nothing else, I think it gives credence to one fun thought: Edgeworth only makes phone calls, while Franziska prefers texting.

stop stop stop pm kunikida thoughts in my head

You might think he's the normalest guy in pm in fact why is he even here he should be at the library LOUD WRONG BUZZER even mori is a little scared of him

His most favorite student is Tachihara Gin. His least favorite is Kajii because his ideal type is someone who loves lemons and that's it.

Higuchi: you won't believe what i heard about- Kunikida: idc abt rumors Higuchi: Kunikida: Kunikida: i have 5 minutes to spare

Hirotsu's smokimg buddy. He sometimes forgets Kunikida is 22 years old and not a single father with 4 kids in his mid 50s.

Akutagawa: I haven't been able to stop thinking about the weretiger ever since our last fight. Why do you suppose- Akutagawa: Akutagawa: No Kunikida: I'm going to hold your hand while i say this

If you see Chuuya drag him into a storage room by his tie and they come out twenty minutes later buttons undone and sweating... pretend you didn't see.
