The Scarred (Chapter Four)

Title - The Scarred (Chapter Four)

Word Count - 2002

Fandom - Batman: The Dark Knight

Pairing - Ledger!Joker x OC

Summary - Penelope Bishop works at a florist shop in Gotham, barely getting by in the corrupted city. Her life is shrouded by therapy and judgement with little light to find her way with. However, when a certain painted face starts making himself known to her, things take a turn.

Warning(s) - Light cussing, flashbacks/nightmares, smoking

Inspiration - Cold (Aqualung & Lucy Schwartz)

Masterlist

A/N - Sorry for the later post, I’ve been on 12 hour shifts lately and it’s messing up my schedule :/

“The hell is happening?” Penelope whispered to herself as she stared with a wide eye. She carded a hand through her hair, unsure of what to do, what to think. Whoever was behind this, they were intelligent. Patient and calculative. It frightened her. It frightened her and yet she hadn’t even met the person. That was the most unnerving part about it all.

Her hands moved to pick up the larger shards to throw away, then to grab the broom and sweep the rest. She scrambled to look through every hatch, every door, cabinet and closet for anything that might have been left behind. Yet there was nothing. Once more, the only sign that someone had been there was the face that had been cleared already. There was no lingering smell, not even a hair.

“Okay,” She muttered. “Okay-okay.” Her mouth rambled on as she carried out her night routine, heart pounding faster than she would have appreciated as she tried to relax under the warm stream of water. Her feet padded against the cold tile as she tended to her scars, pacing the small room before throwing on her pajamas. She raced to her jacket, fumbling through the pockets for her phone and shuffled through her contacts. The coldness of it rested against her ear as she chewed on her cheek, wiggling the fingers of her left hand absentmindedly.

“Penny?” The familiar voice made her perk up. “What’s up?”

“I just needed someone to talk to…” The woman practically whispered. She made her way to lay on her bed, listening attentively to the shuffling in the background over the phone.

“Oh, ’course, hun,” Emma had an underlying tone of understanding in her voice. “Did everything hold up okay at the shop?” Penelope thought back to the bald man.

“Yeah-everything went fine. Sold three vases.” She started fiddling with the hem of her shirt.

“Three? That’s amazing!”

The voices echoed in the auditorium, the petite woman messing with the tassel that hung from her head. Everyone migrated to their families after having all walked the stage, visiting friends from time to time to say their goodbyes or reminisce in their memories. The woman searched for a familiar brunette bun, but her height made it all the more difficult.

“Penny!” She turned to face the voice, but was soon met with engorging flames. They towered over them all, everyone screaming and scattering in a panic. “Penny!” The voice screeched again, but no matter how many times she spun around and searched, she couldn’t find them. She started sweating profusely, both from the heat and stress of it all. Flames licked her skin, almost teasing it before it grew volatile.

Penelope’s eye snapped open, breathing heavily. Her hair stuck to her skin from the cold sweat she was left in. She laid there for a moment or two, collecting herself as best as she could. She listened to the wind humming through her window, the birds chirping as the sun’s first rays peaked through the clouds. She closed her eye again, imagining the bird. What kind of bird it was, what it was doing. Perhaps it was a swallow? It’s boring, brown feathers smooth as they glided and fluttered. The curious black eyes that fidgeted as it cocked and turned its head.

She took deep breaths, opening her eye once more to sit herself up on the edge of her twin bed. She stared at the soft carpet below her, loathing herself for waking up at such an ungodly hour. The faintest shade of blue colored the sky if she were to squint. Penelope then stood, stumbling over to her dresser to change out of her now drenched sleepwear. She thought about taking a quick heat dump to cool her off, but the amount of energy it took for her to get in the shower right now made her shudder, so she settled with splashing cold water on her face instead.

She trudged into the living room to her box TV, turning it on and having the low noise of the news play in the background as she migrated to the kitchen. She decided to simply pop an egg sandwich from the freezer into the microwave, pouring herself a glass of milk to go along with it. She bounced when she plopped onto the couch, pulling the lap blanket from the top of it to wrap herself up in. Her eye stared at the screen with a bored expression, heavy as she watched.

With how consistent the news was it was a wonder to her how it was never a rerun. The same news anchor, the same monotone voice with the same type of news. A new murder case, Bruce Wayne’s next trip to an extravagant venue, cloudy skies with an expected drizzle all week. None of it came as a surprise to her anymore.

Crime rates continued to slowly increase, the mob being thrown into a tizzy ever since The Joker showed up. Little changed since he was caught and put in Arkham. If anything, the people just grew into a rampage once they found out what had happened to their newfound idol. Penelope would be lying, however, if she said she wasn’t intrigued. From what she had seen on the news and heard from around the city, he was a very finicky person. He seemed so clumsy and careless, yet was always the one in control. No one could ever predict what he would do next, keeping everyone on their toes at all times.

She somewhat felt bad for the first responders who seemed to just be ragdolled from one end of the city to the other or thrown into ever frequent traps when he was out and about. She couldn’t deny that the thought of it made her snicker, wondering how they hadn’t learned their lesson the first few times. How they thought that The Joker being locked up would put their minds at ease. It was all a joke.

A vibration sounded from her phone and she looked to where it buzzed on the coffee table, the green icon showing that she had received a message. She reached over and picked it up, flipping it open in curiosity.

I’m stopping by Gotham Coffee. Want anything?

Emma. Penelope smiled at her phone, fingers moving to reply when another buzz went off. An unknown number, and all that was sent was the number twelve. That was all she needed to know who it was.

———————————————————————

The two women sat at the counter, sipping casually from their now cold coffee cups as they made small talk. Emma noticed how tense Penelope had seemed when she first entered the shop, what with her stiff posture and gaze cast down on the floor more so than usual, so it was a relief to see her smile a little more the longer they talked. They had just finished with one of their many giggle fits when the bell of the shop went off, cutting it short. Their heads snapped to the front and Penelope’s stomach dropped, mouth suddenly dry.

Once again, the light of the shop reflected off of the bald man’s head as his eyes focused on her own. With every step he took she felt as if she just shrunk smaller and smaller. It wasn’t until he stood directly in front of them that she shot up from her seat, scrambling into the back room to grab the vase she previously prepared. Her multitude of tiny footsteps echoed from the back as Emma and the man practically held a staring contest, the latter holding a sickly sweet smile. When Penelope emerged from the back room with the vase her arms shakily handed it to him, sucking on her bottom lip anxiously. With how rough he seemed, the gentleness with which he handled the vase amused her. But she wouldn’t dare show it. Emma looked over at Penelope as soon as he left.

“Was he one of the three vases?” She quipped, quirking an eyebrow. Penelope took a deep breath in, then casted her a sheepish smile.

“Four.” Emma stood to throw away their coffee cups. “He paid yesterday. Said he was picking it up at noon today.”

“How much?” Penelope’s mouth started to water, mouth faltering as she tried to form a response.

“Just twenty-five.” Emma, always having been good at reading people, knew she was being lied to, but for her friend’s sake decided not to push. She knew that if Penelope ever held something back, she did so for good reason. She just chuckled.

“How was it when he ordered it?” Her voice took on an amused tone. “‘Begonia and baby’s breath, please’.” She mocked the man, driving the two of them back into a giggling fit. They wasted the day away talking, trying to busy themselves one way or another until the end of the day. The last hour was the hardest. In silence they sat and watched the grandfather clock tucked away in a corner. Yet it only worsened their predicament.

Fridays had always been slower than any other day, and it was on Fridays that they truly realized that time was never on their side. When they had fun, it flew by. When they wanted something to just be over with, it dragged on. It was cruel. Time was cruel. Life was cruel. Penelope knew these things. So when the clock sounded at the hour they were out the front door, Emma locking up the shop and tossing Penelope a smile. They gave each other their ‘goodbye’s and ‘have a good weekend’s and made their way back to their respective homes. The city was in chaos, full of eager citizens who all wanted the same thing as Emma and Penelope. Some had already made their ways into their local bars, choosing to drown out their lives or celebrate simply because they made it through another week.

As for Penelope, she sat on the edge of her open windowsill and watched. A cigarette balanced between her lips as she struck a match and lit the end of it, shaking it out as she breathed in the all-needed nicotine. Her weekly treat. She rested her head on the wall beside her, the buzz starting to get to her after a significantly larger inhale. She stared out at the scenery in wonder, mind finding its first moment of peace since the last time she had a smoke.

Then a sudden knocking on her door jolted her from her spot, the stick nearly falling from her mouth. She quickly put it out in the ashtray next to her and climbed down to close her window, bare feet skittering across the floor. She stood on her tip-toes to look through the peep-hole, yet no one stood at the door. She unlatched it and opened it cautiously, peeking through until something caught her eye. She opened the door a bit wider to see a familiar vase sat on top of her welcome mat. Her vase. She noticed something dangling off to the side and delicately picked up the flowers to see what it was, and what she saw made her heart make its way to her throat. A playing card. A Joker card dangled from the vase.

For Sanzu... not much to be said.

The first thing that my sister asked is "Why does he have pink hair?" Tbh, i don't have the exact answer to that question. At the very least, she know his gender right away with Bonten!Sanzu. Then she asked about the scars and comment, "He looked like Jeff the Killer or Joker from Batman."

But for Toman!Sanzu, she called him "Blonde, British Lady." Her words, not mine. At one point, she called him 'Crazy'. But one thing that is constant is that, "He looked gay." I will not correct nor affirm her doubts, considering and remembering his 'loyalty' to Mikey and 'things'. Yeah... i better not touch that subject. But, i do agree that he is crazy.

For the last fanart of Bonten!Sanzu that i showed her, her comment is something that will throughly offended Sanzu deeply. Along with the neighbouring fandom.

"He looked like a BTS member. With the pink hair and all. And with that hairstyle too." "Yes, he look like BTS if they are anime. A BTS Anime version." These words are not mine, but hers. I just nod along side her, with little correction. Just fyi, she is not in the KPop fandom and she is not a fan of BTS or any Korean singer.

And for the extra note, she watched TR with me. But only the Baji death episode and the leading to his death episode. So 2 or 3 episodes(?) I forgot which episodes that she watched the 20s i guess. Because i was making a big deal out of it.

And so, she called Wakasa a girl and asking if Wakasa is Draken. She called Draken an 'Egghead' 'Baldie' and 'The Bald Guy With Tattoo On His Head'. She never called Draken any other name.

Yeah, i show her wakasa fanart. But i will need to do a thorough interview for the wakasa session in a later date. It's not satisfactory yet.

Bye~ that is all for the story time.

I- I'm sorry but I have to say it. Your sister is walking around either with a blindfold covering her eyes or with a very unbothered and or disinterested gaze.

She creative, but also not the description they would have at all lmao

I can agree with associating Sanzu with Joker, Draken with the egg head and Wakasa as a girl BUT DANG JIMIN???? MY GIRLY IT'S JUST THE HAIR THAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON, LIKE THAT'S IT-

Are you sure she doesn't need to go to an eye doctor? (I'm kidding I'm kidding)

Halloween Ghost Headcanons:

-If Copia sees someone walking home from the ministry masquerade ball by themselves, he offers to escort them home safely on his pale white horse. By horse I obviously mean tricycle. He takes this duty very seriously. Afterwards he gets himself a pumpkin spice latte and puts little witch hats and scarves on all his rats. He has a friendly rivalry going with Emeritus III so his costume this year was III's severed head.

-Emeritus III spent this Halloween summoning demons on everyone in a joker 2019 costume, attending the ministry's fancy masquerade ball, and making appearances on various TV and netflix Halloween specials. He was dressed up as the cursed plush Copia doll.

-Emeritus II spent lots of time carefully setting up cute decorations and carving intricate pumpkins. He also gave out the best candy in town and gave it out generously! He didn't wear a costume but the kids still loved "the grumpy bald skeleton" and it got a rare smile out of him.

-Emeritus I loves his childhood traditions, so every year he watches horror movies with his father and Sister Imperator. He wears fuzzy slippers with jack o lantern faces on them and makes hot chocolate for everyone.

-Imperator helps II hand out candy at the ministry when she's not busy watching movies with I. Unfortunately her idea of candy is grucifix communion wafers with a passionate speech on the ghost project and young ghoul recruitment. This has lead to eggs and toilet paper thrown at the ministry on more than one occasion.

-Papa Nihil falls asleep two minutes into the movie every single year.

-Aether brought Dew out trick or treating. They haven't done it since ghoul college, and it brought back good memories. He dressed as a vampire.

-Dew licks the candy and throws it at Aether, then he eats all the guitar picks. Later he takes time to make sure Aether knows he appreciated their night out, however mischievous and chaotic his antics were. He wears the classic sheet with two holes in it ghost costume, but with high heels and fishnets.

-rain spent a day out apple picking. He baked a nice apple pie and ate a bunch of candy while watching It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. He didn't wear a costume, but he did have some cozy Halloween pajamas. Unfortunately he didn't get much of his pie since Copia's rats got out again. He wasn't mad though! He was happy to have someone to share it with.

-Swiss wore a swiss cheese costume this year. This was not his decision. He lost a bet with the ghoulettes. Help him.

-Cumulus brought Mountain and Cirrus out into the woods by the pumpkin patch to enjoy the scenery and collect colorful leaves. It was the perfect windy night too, and the smell of fallen leaves was in the air!

-Mountain had been designated as the official pretty-leaf-reaching tall person of the group. He went with a scarecrow costume this year and a whole flock of actual crows kept trying to land on him. He wouldn't mind it at all, but right then he had some colorful leaves to reach for cumulus. He had on his signature socks with no shoes and it drove Cirrus crazy. It rained earlier that day and they were all standing in the woods! Those socks must have been soggy and filty!

-Cirrus climbed a tree when Cumulus and Mountain weren't looking. She wanted to see if she could get a good view of the pumpkin patch. Instead, she got a view of the ministry in the opposite direction, and on the tallest spire of the church she saw him! The great pumpkin! She told mountain and cumulus that "he looked a lot like Tobias Forge with a pumpkin stuck on his head, but it couldn't really have been him. He's just a character played by the brothers and Copia."

#Riddlerpost

Cringe this may be btu I will make it anyways OK? In discorp I said I coudl make a whole post about random specific thigns I would want in my ideal interpretation of the Riddler and I’m a man of my word sometimes so I am going to do it. Including both major things and icnredibly dumb minor details. Putting this under cut because I seriously did not realize how long this would get LOL

His original name WAS Edward Nashton and he changed it to Nygma both because of da riddle love and to distance himself from horrible family which he does have, and I think it specifically should be spelled Nygma because he would value the extra .2 seconds it would take for someone to notice that being a pun. However even if it makes it more obvious when said in conjunction with last name he actually does NOT hate being called Eddie specifically. He loves it because it makes it so there’s 2 different ways to do the enigma thing.

He had pretty awful childhood, like realistically awful. Horrible parents bad marriage etc his mom treated him better than his dad but the difference became more narrow over time probably. :( He did not to well in school, he hoped that doing somethign really well would help & entered contest thing. I think he did cheat and feels like he deserved further horrible family thigns due to it but did not he was only a lad!

hated school. Did not go to college. Intelligent but not emotionally... he DOES have OCD and it is like compulsive to turn eveyrhting into funny puzzles and games and of course riddles, but it doesn’t stop him from doing ones on purpose of course, and he does like to tell really dumb jokes liek all the ones in the 60s show (BTW he should always and forever do the funny Frank Gorshin laugh). And he is fully autistic. He is so autistic. Believe this. Believe me. He gets along with other villains his like constant compulsive insertion of riddles into things that don’t or shouldn’t have them can cause strife but like everyone in Batman is TWISTED they get it they’re a jolly group terrorizing the town together. United Underworld baby. U.U. should be in every piece of Batman media BTW, unrelated.

The important thign though is! He is a tragic guy deep down he has a sad story behind him all but he is silly. Whatever the ‘present’ is like aroudn the time any actual Batman comics happen, he should be silly. All these thigns should not stop him from being silly. He is egotistical for sure but not USUALLY to the point of like, being Arkham levels of rude. But it can happen. He mostly just like... He does his FUNNYCRIMES to prove himself as being smart, but there usually isn’t even all that malice involved unless it’s like, the one BTAS episode he really wants to get revenge on a specific person. IdealRiddler not as suave as BTAS Riddler though. he most resembles him in that one scene where all the girls are like ‘ahhh so smart bro’ and he’s like “well heh guess you say that to all the geniuses!”

I don’t think he’d ever really intentionally kill anyone. He’s like - he’s not ineffective at the thigns he does but he’s not an incredibly harmful villain. That said he can put together whole insane mastermind plots but they probably won’t be things he really puts into effect a lot because he doesn’t really want or need to. He’s definitely like When is a Door-type Riddler in my head, he doesn’t know where it all went wrong he just wants to have fun and do incredibly silly crimes and it scares him so bad to see everyone else actually killing people even if the Joker was probably already doing it forever

And BTW he is fully gay he is fully homosexual and in a relationship with the Penguin. But this is important - he is completely chaste. He definitely needs to be incredibly gay that’s an integral part of his character. To me. And he does have 1 billion different increasingly silly and flashy Riddler suits like Jim Carrey style you know it and loves funny campy silyl stuff and he definitely has a huge collection of big novelty objects used in ads and like carnivals and stuff. And he is like 5′3 at most. BTW. He is short. He needs to be short OK? He needs ot be an incredibly small man. *Looking at you pleadingly as I say this*

He used to have long hair when he was young but by the time he actually is da Riddler it;s short and he is balding. he tries to hide it under his hat but you can tell you can always tell. He is not like fully shaved bald and tattooed or anything like that, but he is balding. Sometimes he has a mustache I think the only Riddler that’s had a mustache was when he was briefly portrayed by John Astin for part of Batman 1966. But I like to imagine him with a mustache. I think it works and BTW I’m insane.

Like, every single job that he’s been portrayed as having before is something he’d gone through before being da riddler, he’s worked at a carnival he’s worked on video games he’s done it all. He definitely collected all the carnival stuff. I think specifically though aside from probably having bad boss like in BTAS his V.G. work went unappreciated because it was all like, incredibly obscure thigns on ZX Spectrum or FMV games or somehting and he didn’t get to contribute that much to them because he always ended up coming up with extremely ambitious plans for developign them that would be like impossible for a game at the time. He would definitely run a really weird looking web page with all the little weird easter eggs he put into stuff showcased. OK. That’s all I can think of right now. I might add more. But for now I’m just going to smile sweetly

Grim History

Kilroy Was Here: The Cryptic Graffiti of World War II

The design was simple. A straight line with a bald egg-shaped half head with two pinpoint eyes on the top, a long nose resembling a load of French bread hanging down below the line like a flaccid phallus, and four fingers hanging down over the line as well on either side. That was all. Scrawled on the side were the words “Kilroy Was Here.” During World War II this simple graffito appears in theaters of war all across rhe world. It mostly came to be associated with the American military, though in actuality it was scrawled on walls by soldiers from all the countries of the allied powers. No one knows who, where or why Kilroy began appearing but most likely this famous graffiti did not originate in America.

So what could be the possible origins of Kilroy? England is the most plausible answer. The English people themselves do not call Kilroy by his American name but actually refer to him as Chad, among other names. If we were to trace the simple figure of Chad back a few thousand years, we could plausibly note its resemblance to the Greek letter omega, a symbol used by Great Britain’s Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers; they used the omega symbol as shorthand for an alternating current which can also be written as a straight line with a sine wave through it. It is rumored that engineers at that particular institution used to draw the omega letter with plus and minus signs for eyes, indicating a positive and negative charge. This would sometimes be drawn with the words “Wot no leave?’ beside its head. The Chad figure also resembles Alice the Goon, a cartoon character in the Popeye comics of the 1930s, drawn by a comic artist named George Edward Chatterton; people called him “Chat” for short and this nickname could possibly have transmuted into “Chad.”

The link that takes Chad into the heart of World War II goes directly into Britain during the time of food rationing. The round-headed and long-nosed figure began appearing on walls throughout London with the caption saying “Wot no bread?” or other gripes against the insufficient diets being forced on the English people.

At some point American servicemen, as well as troops from other nations, took on the practice of leaving their territorial mark of graffiti wherever they went. The figure of Chad began appearing on bathroom walls, sides of ships, public buildings and anywhere else you might imagine. As a symbol taken on by Americans, the captioned complaint written besides the man’s head was replaced by the phrase “Kilroy Was Here.” What was especially perplexing was the way the drawing appeared in places before American troops actually arrived as if some joker snuck off the ship and scrawled the doodle on something to greet them. It was as if the artist wanted to prank the fighters by saying “look I got here before you did.” One notorious sighting located Kilroy on a giant rock on Bikini Island; the air force arrived there to test their nuclear bombs before moving on to Nagasaki and Hiroshima and there it was to welcome them ashore. Kilroy also showed up in other inaccessible places like inside sealed off sections of ships’ hulls, inside air ducts, or on the bodies of airplanes which were only accessible to people with high security clearances. During the Potsdam conference of 1945, Joseph Stalin came out of the bathroom and asked who Kilroy was; apprently someone had written a Kilroy Was Here in the stall of the VIP men’s room, giving the dictator something to wonder about while he sat on the toilet.

Historians of the war have tracked down the name of “Kilroy” and come up with two possibilities as to who he was. An American shipyard inspector named James J. Kilroy is one culprit. The all-too-obvious conclusion is that he wrote the words and symbol on the sides of ships to indicate that he had completed his inspection and the boat was ready to go. Another suspect is one Sgt. Francis J. Kilroy who came down with the flu when he was scheduled to arrive at an air force base in Florida. To indicate his delayed arrival, somebody wrote “Kilroy will be here next week’ on the barracks wall. Kilroy later died in the hospital and his grief stricken friend from the bed beside him was sent off to sea on a warship. He began writing “Kilroy was here” with chalk on walls to commemorate the death of his comrade. Then the graffiti spread like wildfire, probably being written by people who had no idea what it meant.

Historians appear not to have every found anybody who claims to have drawn the symbol during wartime.

Did it mean anything? Adolf Hitler convinced himself that the Kilroy/Chad figure was being used as code by spies since it kept showing up on the allies’ equipment seized by the Germans. He sent a couple too many men to search out information about what message it intended to send, only to have them come back without any useful theories. Maybe that is why the graffiti caught on; the human mind has an unrelenting capacity to see patterns where they do not actually exist. Many hard thinkers have spent countless hours of time pursuing the meanings of fruitless mysteries that lead them to dead-ends, the tortured logic of conspiracy theories or goofy conclusions that do not make any sense to anyone but themselves.

Reisner, Robert. Graffiti: Two Thousand Years of Wall Writing. H. Regnery Co., 1971.

11 Cyurious Movie Facts Not Many People Know

New Post has been published on https://funnypics365.com/2020/12/28/11-cyurious-movie-facts-not-many-people-know/

11 Cyurious Movie Facts Not Many People Know

Boomerang cameo in Birds of Prey

We can see Harley Quinn’s colleague from Suicide Squad make a brief appearance when she’s leaving a police precinct and notices a familiar wanted poster. In Birds of Prey, she points to Captain Boomerang’s photo and says: “Hey, I know that guy!”

Christopher Plummer is older than the actress that played his mother in Knives Out.

Even though Christopher Plummer’s character didn’t stick around for too long, his mother was present throughout the entire movie. What’s curious is that actress K Callan, who played her, is actually 6 years younger than Plummer himself, who in turn was 90 years old when filming Knives Out.

Red Skull wasn’t played by Hugo Weaving in Avengers: Infinity War or Avengers: Endgame.

In Captain America: The First Avenger, Hugo Weaving portrayed the villainous Red Skull, who is teleported into unknown parts of space at the end of the movie. To many fans’ surprise, he later returns in both Infinity War and Endgame as a stonekeeper. However, the character was actually recast and portrayed by actor Ross Marquand. Could’ve fooled us!

Billy Zane wore a wig in Titanic.

We bet you could’ve never guessed that it’s not Billy Zane’s real hair we see in the legendary 1997 film. In real life, the actor is actually bald, but the director must’ve thought that Rose’s posh fiancé needed a healthy head of hair to be more convincing.

Cast Away took over a year to make to allow for Tom Hanks to look the part.

At the beginning of Cast Away, Tom Hanks’ character looks like an average man, but after spending a lot of time on the island, it’s no surprise that his body gets severely malnourished. In order to make himself look authentic, production was stopped for an entire year, so that Hanks could lose 50 pounds safely and grow out his hair.

Animal noises in Avatar are borrowed from Jurassic Park.

If you ever watched James Cameron’s Avatar and thought that the creatures sounded familiar, you’re right! It’s difficult to place them at first, but you’re actually hearing noises from T-Rex and the Raptors in Jurassic Park.

Michael Caine forgot his lines when he saw Joker for the first time in The Dark Knight.

It’s no secret that Heath Ledger took extra steps to be as convincing as possible when playing the Joker in The Dark Knight, but what’s amazing is that he managed to scare his co-stars on set. In the scene where Joker and his cronies crash Bruce Wayne’s party, Alfred, portrayed by Michael Caine, is right there to stop them at the elevator, but instead, he steps away in horror. Caine was actually supposed to deliver a few lines, but it was his first time seeing Ledger in character, which scared him so much, he couldn’t utter a single word.

A Fight Club Easter egg in The Social Network

In one scene from The Social Network, Mark Zuckerberg cheats on his exam by making people comment on various works of art on a Facebook account. In order to be incognito, Mark uses the pseudonym Tyler Durden for his profile in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment. Interestingly, Tyler Durden is the main character in Fight Club, which, just like The Social Network, was directed by David Fincher.

We were lied to about Cobb’s totem in Inception.

In Inception, a spinning top is said to be Leonardo DiCaprio’s character’s real totem, but, if you pay attention, at one point, he reveals that it actually belonged to his wife. The theory is that Cobb’s actual totem is his wedding ring, which checks out throughout the movie.

He doesn’t wear one in real life, but has a ring on in a dream, which is why he constantly encounters his wife in there. In addition, we know that no one can know about how your totem works, but Cobb doesn’t have an issue flashing his spinning top to every character in the movie, which further proves this theory. So if you’ve still been wondering whether Cobb got out or not at the end, just look at his left hand.

Buzz’s girlfriend in Home Alone isn’t actually a girl.

At one point in Home Alone, Kevin finds a photo of his older brother’s girlfriend and reacts with sincere disgust. Director Chris Columbus didn’t want to use a real actress so as not to offend anyone and decided to have a boy dressed up as a girl instead. They ended up using the film’s art director’s son as a stand-in, which slipped by countless fans of Home Alone.

adam ascott's story

adam has a complex and weird motivation for his crimes, something that goes beyond 'getting money for trans surgeries' but its hard for him to explain

it started during his childhood. childhood in metropolis while superman was there meant seeing the guy everywhere, and the expectation that you would look up to him too. adam was born anna, and his life was spent in fear of superman. it started with paranoia. you see, in metropolis, a big way that kids were made to feel safe was that superman would always be there, would always hear you. adam's bad childhood, what with bullying and a lot of victim blaming from his parents, warped this feeling into 'superman knows you're bad'.

once he started noticing he was a guy, suddenly the masculinity exuded by superman and praised by all the men around seemed threatening. this extra threatened feeling led to adam hating superman, and having awful, mean thoughts, and these mean thoughts led to 'superman knows you hate him'.

adam tried to hide his transness for a while. kept going by anna, even though it made him ill. he began thinking of 'anna' as a different version of him, something still dying off so he could eventually pop out of her corpse, and he waited. he waited.

when he was trying to find a place for himself in metropolis after finishing high school, he was caught up in a bank robbery with some no-name creep that wanted superman's attention. since he was presenting feminine (specifically, in a white dress) and seemed really vulnerable, the guy grabbed him up and dragged him all the way to the top of the bank, holding him to the edge with the threat that he'd be dropped if superman didn't come save him.

superman did show up, and the guy panicked, throwing adam off the edge to distract the superhero. someone in a building across the street took a photo, a photo of a long haired blonde person in a white dress falling to their death, doing nothing, not even screaming. superman caught him, but when he was set on the ground, superman asked...

'Are you okay, miss?'

adam screamed. it was all too much. he screamed, and he pushed away superman, and he ran past the cops, and he ran past the reporters, and he ran all the way to his shitty apartment his family got him while he was in his 'weird phase', as they called it.

'anna' had finally died. the fall killed her. and adam was raw still.

a popular tabloid would have that photo, the photo of 'anna' falling, on the front page. the article would talk about 'the mad woman of metropolis' and how adam screamed, how someone literally screamed after being saved by superman, in this day and age? what, did 'she' want to die?

adam couldn't get work after that. everywhere he went, people asked, 'aren't you that lady that freaked out after getting saved by superman??' and eventually, he couldn't stand it.

the last thing he did before he cut off his family and move away was take what money he could from his account and change his name. 'anna' had died so 'adam' took over.

not that this adam was complete. he still felt wrong when he looked at himself, new name or not. he was still a shell he needed to escape from.

in gotham, nobody asked if he was the 'lady scared of superman'. in fact, in gotham, nobody referred to him at all. he could finally wear his binder, and he could start working. he began working in a bike delivery company during the day...

and when he saw a coded offer for a henchman for egghead leaving retirement for one last heist in the wanted pages, he decided to go for it. he was bad anyways, and he needed the money, and gotham was better. batman couldn't hear him. batman didn't know him. and it didn't matter what happened to this adam, because it was the incomplete adam.

he put on a rabbit mask, and wore some bright clothes, pastels, things he knew egghead wore. the rabbit mask was just what he had on hand, something he got while still in middle school.

the heist went horribly. batman showed up, and while he was distracted with egghead's upset rant about the bat ruining everything, adam ran. he ran, and he ran, and he ran, and batman apparently didn't bother going after him, because he ended up going home without a hint of the bat or his robin chasing him.

he didn't want the egg. the egg was an extremely valuable, priceless, last of it's kind egg, a piece of art. he had no use for it. he thought about selling it, but he didn't know how, or where to bring it. egghead was in jail. there wasn't anything he could do...

(he stashed the egg in a drawer, wrapped in the same white dress 'anna' wore on the day she fell. it was safe, and began standing as a motivation. finish yourself. finish yourself.)

the media ate up the idea of a rabbit running off with an egg while wearing bright colors. began calling him the 'easter bunny', and then eventually just Easter, since it was catchier. adam watched the media die down, and he fully accepted his title. he liked the idea, and realizing that he needed the gimmick if he was ever gonna get the money he wanted for his surgeries to 'complete' himself, began thinking more about what he needed to fully realize his new identity.

he began thinking about this new midpoint between 'anna' and 'adam' as 'easter'. easter was the point between what he had to be and what he wanted to be. easter would still be called adam during the day, but adam couldn't bring himself to actually count as that version of him.

he began playing with some ideas. he carried baskets with him when he stole things, and the best thing he did for himself was formulate his spring-heeled shoes, though the design was stolen off the internet. his boss let him borrow some tools from the shop, under the excuse that he needed to fix his bike up, and he made something that would help him with his escapes and break ins.

he isn't popular yet, but a few higher ranking rogues had borrowed him for a some tasks, including two jobs with the joker (one job to break into a judge's house and steal some family photos, and the other job to break back into the judge's house and replace the family photos, only now they had mustaches painted onto all of his family members, and he was made bald. the joker payed him in carrots with money hidden in them.) he's working on it. the rise in fame is a slow one.

and once he's complete, he's going to return the egg. that’s a promise.

#adam ascott #easter #this is really really long.... and still not everything i wanted to say about adam but there's lots #misgendering /#transphobia /#death /#food /

Tuscany has a protracted tradition of historic legends. A land wealthy in history, filled with churches and mediaeval towers once dominated by the mysterious Etruscan civilisation. The Tuscan countryside has at all times had a very robust relationship with fantasy. Obscure legends have been passed from grandfathers to nephews, one generation empire serie tv 2 stagione after the following, over centuries of lengthy winter nights, when families would convene across the hearth. In a society characterised by its strong bond with nature, animals have been a vital part of their every day lives. It is no shock that they function as distinguished characters of historical histories and legends.

One among these animals specifically is the symbol of Chianti itself: the black rooster. This humble farm animal received its place in history during the Middle Ages, when the Republics of Siena and Florence fought in opposition to each other to ensure their management over today's Chianti space (a problem which even as we speak burdens each cities). After many battles, Florentines and Senesi tried to find a much less cruel technique to come to an agreement. They determined that two troopers would depart at dawn, one from Florence and one from Siena; their meeting level would represent the border between the two litigious Republics.

The Florentines, though, had an concept. On condition that each soldiers have been supposed to go away at the morning singing of a rooster, they chose a black rooster and left it unfed for a number of days. The day the soldiers left, the poor rooster was so hungry that he woke up earlier than Empire Italia gli incredibili 2 regular within the morning and sang earlier than daybreak. The Florentine soldier left means earlier than his competitor and met him just a few kilometres away from the walls of Siena, close to a place referred to as Castellina. This is how Florence took control over your entire region.

This is the rationale why the black rooster turned the image of the Chianti league, an agreement that bond the villages of the area (Radda, Gaiole, Castellina) to a common defence of the Republic of Florence. When, in 1924, the wine league of the Chianti Classico selected its image, the black rooster was an obvious alternative.

Since then, the label representing the famous silhouette of the black rooster is the guarantee that the bottle that is about to be opened comes from Empire Italia animali fantastici 2 this prestigious Tuscan space. The black rooster is the one animal to have been honoured with a statue within the main square of Greve in Chianti.

Talking of roosters, if a hen lays a black egg on Christmas day, or if a rooster instantly lays an egg, it is time to fear. The terrible Basilisco could also be born from that egg! The prince of implausible animals, quoted by Plinio in his 'Pure Historical past', the Basilisco in Tuscany was once referred to as 'regulus snake', joker and harley quinn movie from the Latin Regulus (small king). In some representations, the Basilisco had the head of a rooster, the physique of a snake, the legs of a hawk and the power to kill with its glare. For that reason, one of the best weapon to combat it was a mirror. By looking at its reflection, the animal would kill itself immediately.

After this sinister hybrid between reptiles and feathered animals, it's now worth he said mentioning poultry and the attractive legend of the golden hen of King Porsenna.

Let's move just a little additional away from Tuscany, to Chiusi, a very historical Tuscan city, where the King Porsenna is said to have been buried. The monarch had an amazing casket built and surrounded by five pyramids accessing an immense labyrinth. Poresenna not only ordered that the golden hen be place next to his sarcophagus, but he additionally ordered to have it surrounded by 5 thousand chicks, also fabricated from gold. The legend narrates harley quinn e joker ita that typically, at night time, the hen and her chicks come out of the bottom and lightweight up the fields across the sarcophagus with a billion shimmering lights. What is true, though, is that Chiusi is indeed just a little town stuffed with galleries and underground labyrinths. As yet, though, despite a lot analysis and numerous excavations, neither the great Etruscan king or his golden and feathered associates have but been found.

Have you ever had enough of poultry? Effectively, then chances are you'll like to take a tour of the old castle of Strozzavolpe, close to Poggibonsi. Right here, with somewhat little bit of luck, you will notice a golden fox that only appears during full moon. The legend narrates that it's the spirit of a fox walled within the castle as a consequence of a prophecy. An astrologist promised a castle keeper that the manor would final as long as the physique of a fox that had been residing in that space. Since then, occasionally, the fox is seen operating by means of the surrounding forests, but it's by no means been caught. As evidence of the fact that prophecies do sometimes come true, the citadel remains to be there as we speak!
