#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.

@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.

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.

Something I love about Leo is that, canonically, he IS capable of cooking, he’s just completely incapable of using a toaster. He’s banned from the kitchen not out of an inability to make edible food, but because being within six feet of a toaster causes the poor appliance to spontaneously combust.

The thing is there a million cute ways that Steve could meet Wayne without Eddie’s involvement, but only two ways that Eddie could meet the Harringtons outside of Steve:

(1) He’s their drug dealer

(2) Little tiny Eddie was riding his bike really fast and they pulled out in front of him. He crashed into their car. They yelled at him.

HC that Crime Lord Red Hood routinely donates medical equipment, money, and well-trained black market medics (formerly employed by gang leaders he took down) to Leslie's clinic. He's also obsessive about updating or improving the generators at the clinic and wears her down in a way that Batman couldn't.

Hello, would you be able to explain why wicked bootlegs are called slime tutorials? It's very clever but I'm curious as to the origin. Thank u!

Ha! I actually can, though you could probably guess the answer:

So back around ~2016, Universal was in pretty serious talks to make a Wicked movie, as they were a little jealous of the Les Mis movie’s popularity in 2012 and Menzel’s resurgence of popularity after Frozen. As part of this, they got really aggressive about copyright and began blasting the best Wicked bootlegs off the internet left and right. They apparently even sent C/D takedown letters to people who ran bootleg blogs listing the recordings they had for trade.

Around that same time, the genre of ASMR “how to make slime” tutorials was starting to get really popular on YouTube. There were approximately 8 million of them being posted every day by anybody with a camera. So people who filmed broadway performances began uploading them under names like “Wickedly Cool Green Slime Tutorial - O/B/C Full” and “Pink Slime and Green Slime Tutorial - SJB/AA” , or even “As Long As You’re Slime - Aaron Tveit” to bury them in a sea of uploads and avoid their removal.

Fans did this for a variety of different broadway performances - the term DEFINITELY wasn’t exclusive to Wicked, by any means. I’m actually pretty sure the term was first used for the Hamilton OBC performances that circulated back then, since those were still hush-hush.

However, Wicked performances in particular are among the most highly sought-after in the bootleg community (mostly bc each set of actresses creates a pretty different viewing experience, and there’s tons of weird lore). Plus Universal’s aggressive takedowns were making them harder and harder to find on the open web.

Thus, the term “slime tutorial” (or “slimes”) is commonly used for all musical recordings, but it became very highly associated with Wicked performances in particular!
