Amity Park citizens canonically commit tax fraud
Welcome to my TedTalk
Doctor’s Disorders:
Jack: Oh yeah and why should we trust you?
Betrand: Because I’m with the government and we can audit your taxes if you don’t.
Double cross my heart.
Mr Lancer: And what makes you think I want to co-operate with the feds
Operative K: Because ghosts are a constant threat to your student body.
Operative O: And because we're with the government and have access to your tax records.
Mr. Lancer: What do you want to know and how fast do you want to know it?
Conclusion
Amity Park says fuck the government and taxes.

Napoleon hallucinates Josephine a week before his death in 1821
From the timeline based on the St Helena notebooks of General Henri Gatien Bertrand, Cahiers de Sainte-Hélène. Les 500 derniers jours (1820-1821)
28 April 1821:
Napoleon was no longer himself, was becoming anaemic because of internal bleeding, was becoming less and less lucid, indeed occasionally delirious. During the night he said that he had seen Josephine and spoken to her, he thought he had been walking in the garden at Longwood, he kept requesting oranges. The doctors began to fear the worst. The Grand Marshal Bertrand exclaimed: “I kept thinking about how great the change was! Tears kept coming to my eyes as I looked at that man, so awe-inspiring, who had commanded so proudly, so absolutely, beg for a coffee spoon, asking permission, obedient like a child… “Voilà le grand Napoléon”: to be pitied, brought low!”
(Fondation Napoléon)

lol i did not mean to request the last gift as anon
love you too <3 (no romo)
Also, if i may be so bold as to request another gif:
That moment where ninja-Bertrand cuts Danny in half, except his form just distorts a little. (right before Danny says: "I so don't have time for this.")
Tumblr makes me compress the hell out of these so that they’re under 10 MB </3
Also bonus because it had me laughing in class:
Season 1, Episode 9 - My Brother’s Keeper
I couldn’t find the moment you were describing. Do you know what the time stamp is? :(

A lot of series have ripped off the "superpowered people as metaphor for oppressed groups" shtick from the X-Men but for my money the funniest thing anyone has ever done with it is Infamous 2 with its villain Bertrand, a southern god fearing fire and brimstone type who runs a militia of outrageously dumb redneck hicks with guns who want to hunt down all the mutants sorry "conduits" and keep the deviants out of their city. The twist being he is a conduit. In fact he made himself into one deliberately, expecting to become a glorious demigod and the real reason he's mad is because turns out his powers suck. He is the metaphorical equivalent of that guy who becomes violently homophobic because he craves dick but got no rizz.

I just read something about when Napoleon was exiled in Elba:
He was so bored that he started taking up practical jokes: once he slipped a fish into Bertrand's pocket, then asked him for the loan of a handkerchief, so that the fish came slopping out on to the table.
WHAT. I need to know if the fish was dead or alive. Fish out of water abso-fucking-lutely terrifies me. I would be out of my mind if that happened to me. 😭

A shirt believed to have been worn by Napoleon on St. Helena, circa 1820
This shirt is believed to be one of the six examples listed in the bathroom linen in Napoleon’s will (see Dr. F. Antommarchi, Last moments of Napoleon, Vol. II, Paris, London, Henri Colburn, 1825, p. 215). A handwritten note bearing a black wax seal, written by the eldest son of General Bertrand, the Emperor’s aide-de-camp, attached to the front of the shirt, attests to its authenticity: “Chemise que l'Empereur Napoléon a porté à Ste Hélène. Elle a été/donnée à Henry Bertrand, par un article/du testament de son père, le général Bertrand./Henry Bertrand/ 29bre 1844/Souvenir de bonne amitié à Feisthamel”. General Bertrand accompanied Napoleon to St Helena and brought the former Emperor’s remains back to France in 1840 for burial at Les Invalides. After his death, Bertrand bequeathed the shirt to Henri, his eldest son.
