i feel like duke would be seen as a mediator a lot for problems but he’s secretly creating some of them cause he’s bored/petty/vengeful

like oh, tim took too long getting into his suit resulting in condiment king spraying duke with ketchup, so suddenly his laptop was plucked of its stickers, he of course assumes it was jason or stephanie

or when dick knowingly came over when he knew he was sick, resulting in duke missing out on a field trip due to a 24 hour cold, so suddenly the patrol schedule never got to dick on time, making him think bruce was being prickly again, forcing him over to the manor more

one day when he’s bored he places clues and riddles all around the mansion all leading to either dead ends or starts to other riddles, just to see what they would do

i need more petty duke LMFAO

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

People are always saying things like “you shouldn’t do this because it removes a characters agency” and other variations of.

And i just want people to understand that removing a character’s agency is not inherently bad. Sometimes that’s what the story is about!! People in real life often lack agency and control of their own life and even actions in cases of extreme manipulation. It is a thing that happens to people and sometimes it is a thing depicted in fiction on purpose.

“Don’t write him like that, it removes his agency” - that’s the point. That IS the point. Some of us enjoy exploring what it does to a person to be manipulated or controlled in whatever form that takes and also how you might heal from it.

#fanfiction #discourse #man yells at cloud #just let people have fun and stop telling them what to do #I realize people are going to say #but you’re telling people what to do right now!! #and if you do I’m pre-emptively calling you ridiculous for not being able to tell the difference #between telling people not to boss other around #and actually bossing others around

Honestly he's just a real talkative little guy. And what he's talking about is his constant, relentless need for attention at all times.

I do my best to provide.

#cannot say I agree about the prices of hotels this person is referring to #maybe they much cheaper in the beaten half of the country?? #I would say $180-200 a night is normal for a standard hotel #if it’s nice or bourgeois in some way it will be more #you can however still get deals on hotel rooms #waaaaaay better than you can get them on airbnbs #if you go during an offseason and they have lots of rooms you can get like $50 a night

The reason why 'Good Parent Bruce Wayne' is so popular amongst fans, is because he has potential to be a good father. Making him a bad parent is contradictory and an injustice towards his character as both Bruce Wayne and Batman. In this essay, I will

Also Bruce will always lose this “game” because he does NOT want dick to actually wait as long as possible to deploy his grappling

SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE BRUCE A MEDAL FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS HORRIBLE DEMON CHILD HE'S THE WORST, HE'S DOING IT BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU AND HIS LOVE LANGUAGE IS ANNOYING YOU INTO HAVING FUN AND YOU KNOW THAT.

Bruce: don't do this, it's stupid and dangerous.

Batkids: but... You did this.

Bruce, without missing a bit: your father is an idiot, do not do this.

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

#I have always said this as me-yet-ay #I didn’t even consider other pronunciations??
