Kids always ask the wildest shit on roadtrips

[littlefankingdom]

It's ironic how Batman is painted as irresponsible for having children fighting as his side (ignoring how said children would still fight without him), but never other heroes, HOWEVER the moment the Teen Titans/Young Justice wants to do something dangerous or comes back from doing something dangerous, he is literally the only responsible adult out of the Justice League. Like, the others are simply like "I'm so proud of you!" but Batman is lecturing his kids about how dangerous it was, how they didn't even told him where they were going, how they didn't contact him about their well-being enough, about how difficult it would have been for him to come help if they needed it... He's straight-up acting like a parent that found out his kid sneaked out, but they didn't came back until later the next day, and never called to tell them they were alive.

Bruce is portrayed as the "unfunny" one when one of his teenage kids is like "the team and I wants to do this dangerous thing unsupervised", because every other adult is fine with their own doing it, but like, he is being the responsible one. Yeah, a responsible parent would not be like "sure sweetie, go fight this dangerous thing with your teenage friends", they would be like "No, you could get hurt. Yes, I trust you, but this is not safe".

Sometimes, he isn't overprotective, he is normal-level-protective for when your kid is a "vigilante that fights people who will kill them without regret" as a hobby, and the others are being careless (no hate to them tho)

The parallels that hurt so much

They both jinxed the most important event in their lives trying to help...

They both lost their closest friends to this....

And both were abandoned and hurt in the worst way possible by the sibling they've looked up to....

They had good intentions, they were so young......

And they're the monsters others have created.

I'm bad at math, but is Bruce theoretically 38 years old when he goes into the time stream?

Hear me out (and canon likes to fluncate their ages, so this is my best guess without trying to account for birthdays):

Bruce becomes the legal guardian of 9 year old Dick when he's 23. That's a 14 year difference.

Jason becomes Robin when Dick leaves at 18. Jason is 13. That's a five year difference.

Jason dies at 15, and Tim becomes Robin at 13. That's a two year difference.

The age difference between Tim and Bruce would thus be 21 years.

Tim becomes Red Robin to find Bruce at 17.

That means that Bruce had to be 38, right? Why was I imagining him closer to 50?

Adopting so many kids must have aged him

Fellas, is it gay to keep your homoerotic reading material right next to the things that remind you of another man?

NGL though the major reason I liked Generator Rex as a young adult was probably the delightful intro-level body horror and vaguely dubious ethical quandaries, the characters were great but a setting where EVERYONE, everyone and everything, was infected with nanites that could, at any point, just turn you into a horrible monster without warning and the sociological implications of that... as well as the Ethical Dilemma Child Soldier vibes Rex would occasionally give off when he was the ward of Providence, which is pretty explicitly a secret para-military organization doing a worldwide sus. Hello we are here to save you from the monsters! Ignore that we're mostly doing this for PR and our upper management is constantly fighting with itself because no one can agree on how to ethically deal with someone who's now a massive horrible monster shshsshshhh.

They toy a little with the ethical issues of this sooo well that for every silly joke with the talking monkey (that I sigh at because while I do have that taste sometimes I am NOT a 15 year old boy) there was enough nuggets of unethical science drama with the military force to keep me going Oh? Oh? What kind of nonsense are we up to today lads?

also the love interest had a weird worm mouth

"I'm surprised you came back."

Fuyume has a lot of physical and aetherical pain and struggles related to the experiments she was subjected to, including being prone to seizures. When she's separated from her body, as she is when on the First or before this point in UT, a lot of that is relieved and she's able to exist much more comfortably. However, as hard as it is for her to choose to come back again and again, she finds it worth it for the people she loves and that love her. It's a far cry from where she begins, when she's afraid to care about or trust anyone.

BABY PEDRENZO AAAAAAAAAAA CRYING!!!!!! dani looks adorable af like " haiii hello!!! ^^"and jorge is like. Meeeee and mah popsicleee

That pretty much describes them

YES. ABSOLUTLY. Dani is all smiles and laughing, just won a championship and Jorge is like 😑😐 not the thing I want in my mouth rn but eeeeh...

Also it's giving "scary boyfriend privileges" (Jorge. He IS the scary boyfriend. Especially in the early days.) and "Hi. Excuse me? I am so sorry. He asked for no pickles" (Dani. Yes Dani is hyper polite while asking and apologizes for the request. THAT'S why he gets it!!)

israeli forces have arrested ahed tamimi in the occupied west bank based on false accusations

the first time she got arrested, she was a teenager and it was because she punched a soldier after he shot her cousin. she was convicted and jailed like most palestinian children tried in israeli military courts. now she's been arrested again on the basis of false allegations.

in the beginning of the russia/ukraine war, her pictures and story were circulated, and people applauded her when they thought she was a ukrainian teen who had fought back against a russian soldier - when palestinians clarified the truth, most of the aforementioned people retracted their support. such double standards. israelis posted the bottom right picture as a 'victory' - clearly, israel's idea of victory is terrorizing civilians in their homes, from the occupied west bank to gaza.
