Absolutely broke my heart when I discovered white collar x Batman fics and then immediately realized how many of these crossovers seem to actively disregard white collar as a show
Like I’m still gonna read them and I’m still gonna have fun, but it hurts to see people misinterpreting Neal Caffrey as just a knockoff Batfamily member instead of the canonically-labeled sociopath and pathological thief that he is. Like this bitch will steal things because, and I quote, “it was there.” He got caught on bond forgery because he was so obsessively in love with a girl and he broke out of maximum security prison and subsequently got caught because of said girl (who, rightfully so, did not give a shit about him).
Respectfully, not a single one of the Batfamily is built like that.
And then people are treating Peter Burke like some idiotic traffic cop who doesn’t care about Neal at all, instead of a brilliant guy who has broken every moral and ethical bone in his body trying to protect his best friend. This man finished the series **SPOILERS** having (1) lied to a priest, (2) been kidnapped, (3) had his wife kidnapped, (4) gone to prison, (5) aided and abetted fugitives, and (6) violated probably a minimum of five domestic and international laws each episode. And that’s not even including all the plot points I’ve completely forgotten about
It hurts even more because that dynamic of impulsivity and intelligence and loyalty and criminal behavior and complete trust and absolutely gut wrenching codependency just reeks of Batman comics. Like Peter and Neal hurt each other and love each other and betray each other at every turn and it’s sooooo good and THAT is the crossover I want to be reading…
(Sorry for the rant, but I’m tipsy off red wine and white collar is leaving Hulu in two weeks and I’m struggling)

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

my family is fucking addicted to macgyvering and it's becoming a problem. every time something in this house breaks, instead of doing the sensible thing of replacing it or calling someone qualified to fix it, we all group around the offending object with a manic look in our eyes and everyone gets a try at fixing it while being cheered on or ridiculed by the rest.
it's a beautiful bonding activity, but the "creative" fixes have turned our house into a quasihaunted escape room like contraption where everything works, but only in the wonkiest of ways. you need a huge block of iron to turn on the stove. the oven only works if a specific clock is plugged in. the bread machine has a huge wood block just stapled to it that has become foundational to its function. sometimes when you use the toaster the doorbell rings. and that's just the kitchen.
it's all fun and games until you have guests over and you have to lay out the rules of the house like it's a fucking board game. welcome to the beautiful guest room. don't pull out the couch yourself you need a screwdriver for that, and that metal rod makes the lamp work so don't move it. it also made me a terrifying roommate in college, because it makes me think i can fix anything with enough hubris and a drill. you want to call the landlord about a leaky faucet? as if. one time my dad made me install a new power socket because we ran our of extension cords

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery
