bruce calls a press conference in which he tells the world he's batman. nobody says anything. it's silent. not a single flash of a camera. "no, seriously," he says, "i'm batman."
the press starts yelling and snapping photos and bruce is relieved because for a moment there it really seemed like they wouldn't believe—
"mr. wayne! mr. wayne, is this a publicity stunt?"
"mr. wayne, did you lose a bet again?"
"are you taking the fall for someone? is it your mystery partner?"
bruce just stands there. he tries to form a sentence until dick eventually comes up laughing. "are you still drunk from last night? jesus, bruce!"
•••
he tries again at a wayne enterprise meeting. he thinks that maybe starting smaller is the way to go.
"i'm batman."
"yeah, and i'm superman," someone says. the room laughs (even lucius, the traitor).
•••
he calls the chief of the gotham gazette, refusing to let it go through anybody else. "how about an exclusive interview? been a while since you've had one of those."
the chief says, "mr. wayne, would this exclusive interview have anything to do with batman?"
"...it might. you'll have to find out."
he sighs. "let's talk schedules."
finally, bruce thinks. somebody is taking me seriously.
the headline reads: "prince of gotham genuinely believes he's batman. covering for a special someone?"
•••
several articles follow, attempting to identify the mystery man that bruce has been spotted with prior to the press conference.
•••
he goes out for patrol without his cowl. it's a quiet night. a video goes viral on twitter, and it's of him tripping on his own cape. the caption reads: "he's really dedicated to this whole batman thing💀💀"
•••
his phone rings a few days later.
"this is bruce wayne."
"hi, bruce."
"clark? whose phone are you calling from?"
"police department. i've been arrested under suspicion of being batman."

Okay I am seeing people say that this isn't minecraft RP any more, it's just a minecraft event, and while I'm tracking with you, I am also an avid watcher of the Life Series series of SMPs, and I assure you that you'd be surprised at the RP and lore that can come out of a challenge death game with strict rules and unexpected team-ups. This is just the "everybody getting settled" episode, but even IF there aren't more twists coming, it's highly possible that we get more lore and RP type situations than you'd expect as the event continues.

The amount of actual antisemitism on this website is frightening.
It might not be obvious given Tumblr has a new algorithm that only shows you what you want to see, and yes there's maybe a whole discourse about the fighting of antisemitic views and blogs about criticizing antisemitic medias and remembering what genocidal antisemitic political group like the Nazis did. And when you look at this part of Tumblr you think "Alright, it's okay, it's cool."
Problem is that it is a really tiny fragment, and when you look at the other side of Tumblr, at the mass of things Tumblr doesn't show you, you'll find tons of antisemitic posts and tons of blogs praying for all Jews to die. Literaly I saw people here simply write "All Jews must die".
I shouldn't be surprised given the rise, return and multiplication of actual antisemitic political and social movements IRL in numerous countries... But it's still sad to see this website is just as corrupted as any others. I guess it is less visible because often antisemitic views tend to use political, religious or social arguments and subjects as "covers" (the current news is an especially good "shield") but always remember to check deeper and to carefully look at what people are writing - because you need to be able to read between the lines, to see if someone is actually involved in said topics or if they just use a superficial knowledge of it to promote a new genocide of the Jews as a whole.

HAPPY NOVEMBER 5TH TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE!
click for a surprise :)
[ID. Digital art of Dean Winchester done in black lineart. He’s holding his own hand over Castiel’s handprint, which is red, and looking forlorn. When clicked, the transparency reveals Castiel with his wings and a halo, holding Dean by the waist and resting their foreheads together. End ID.]
