Things baby Richard do that almost give Bruce a heart attack

Bought a Theremin and played horror movie music when the house was dark and quiet

One time he was watching a Disney movie and switched it to an R-rated slasher when Bruce walked into the room

Stared at Bruce while he was asleep

Pretended to be lost in Crime Alley

Pretended to download a virus onto the Batcomputer

Pretended to drink a whole bottle of champagne

Pretended to give Bruce's credit card number to a con-man

Pretended to cry and refused to tell Bruce what was wrong

Pretended to die

Put fake worms in a pineapple

Asked Bruce if he could invite some classmates over and literally brought the Worst Kids Ever™

Threw Bruce a one-kid surprise party for Father's Day

Thinking about the INSANE moral grey area of the thg victors at the minute,, these scared, small children killed 23 (or 47) other equally scared, small children in order to make it out alive. Every year afterwards the wound that is the games gets ripped open and they have to go about closing it up all over again. They can never escape the blood of the other scared little kids on their hands. They are being punished by the Capitol, made to watch other kids do what they did, for something the Capitol made them do in the first place. If they want the kids to die because they don't want them suffering the way a victor does for the rest of their lives, then they're uncaring & complicit in the tributes death. If they get the kids out, they're signing the tribute up for a life of misery. No winning. No moral high ground. Just a train ride that never stops.

#actually shocking that only 16 victors were dead/missing by the 3rd quarter quell. thats an insane amount of trauma to cope with #parcel day is probably the best example of how the games play on victors morals even when its over #because the entire district gets fed. for a whole year. of COURSE you'd want to give that to the people back home #but it means putting this kid up for literally anything Snow wants. You are complicit in their trauma from then on. you let them live #but if you dont mentor them then your district suffers and you're two more kids deep into this grave you keep digging for yourself #and NONE of it is the mentors fault btw im not saying that because there's no way to mantain a moral highground in this situation #but. jesus christ. its an impossible game because no matter what parents loose their children and someone looses their freedom #sickening. suzanne collins you have a brillant mind #thg #the hunger games #cw: death mention #<- multiple times #this isn't even starting on beetee/wiress and their inventions or the careers that live but if i talk abt them I'll never stop. alas

So uhhh- I was wandering in the woods going on a walk and I spotted a group of 4 phantump in a small clearing that was close by to an abandoned building and there were rumors 4 children vanished into the woods I was in years ago and phantump are said to be the ghosts of children who passed on in the woods- do I tell the local police??

Let's calm down, not everything that the Pokedex says needs to be taken literally. Yes, sometimes actual souls can turn into wild 'mons, but 90% of the time is just shy Ghost types like Panthump that enjoy hanging out in remote parts of the forest away from people. I'd say it's far more probable that someone saw the 4 'mons in the forest and made that rumor up, rather than the other way around!

#i mean.. the pokedex also said that kadabra is a kid and...no #but if you see an actuak skeleton YES DEFINITELY CALL THE RANGERS #clay talks #ask #cw: death mention #pokemon irl #pokeblogging #phantump

I'm absolutely brainrotting over how horrific humans are

• We are not bipedal. We are quadrupedal. We forced our bodies out of shape just for the sake of going against god. Our legs are bent out of shape, our hip joints have been forced outwards at unusual angles, our spines - necks and backs - have been contorted into flimsey spring-like structures to support our poorly distributed amalgamation of flesh and bone, pur extremities have been elongated, compressed and re-framed to fit our new whims.

• We manipulated everything. Will said in that episode about the woman abducting yhe kids to try to make a family that as a survival instict, we have to bond with our captors otherwise we're breakfast. That's what we did to literally fucking everything. Animals are naturally scared of us. We think that animals are scared because they are ignorant, but they are scared because they are smarter than us because they see us for what we really are: abominations and monsters. They either get docile and cozy with us to become our companions so we dont kill them or they try to avoid us or hell even fight us but if they havent been domesticated then they're fucking dead meat. And cozying up to us is not a sure fire way of survival. We pick and choose who we domesticate. Dogs and cats, yeah. Rats and pigeons, we kill them or at the very least banish them. And even being domesticated is not a sure fire way of survival. We forcibly change their biology to be dependent on us and then routinely abuse or neglect them, or pit them against eachother, or ignore them, or "accidentally" let them loose to take another domestic's life. We are manipulators. We don't train animals, we manipulate them. We trick them into thinking we're safe, and don't let them realise until it's too late. Humans aren't the top of the foodchain. We're not the apex predator. We're humans. We're fucking horrors. And nothing we could ever come up with in any book, film, show, etc could ever come close to the horrific god-killing creation that is a human "being".

• We have such a comprehensive specrum and magnitude scale of emotion that our brains try to self-destruct to quell it. We feel too much love or care? Our instict is to crush/squeeze it to death. We feel too sad? Our instict is to tear ourselves apart piece by piece or just outright blunt force ourselves into peace.

• We are so fucked up that our brains actively come up with ways to supress, control or just outright kill us. On a high place? Our instict is to jump. See something sharp or hot? Our instict is to grab/touch it. Our brains fabricate fake threats to scare us into submission - phobias, anxiety, etc.

• Our bodies are so viscerally unnatural that we are alienated from every other living thing that we know of. Not one creature has a remotely similar body to us. Our joints are bent in freakish ways, we move unlike any other thing to exist, we communicate in a million different ways in a noise that nothing else can make. We are fucking disgusting.

• Our bodies try to self-destruct to prevent us from continuing to exist. We cannot successfully give birth most of the time without lots of medical help or even being fully split open and physically separated from the foetus by other humans due to our hip to head size ratio. We are the only creature capable of choking because of the development of speech.

OPEN STARTER: Frenchie

With everyone back together again, the crew had gotten a British Naval ship in it's sights and decided to raid it for supplies. Wanting to get back into the swing of things and gel again as a full crew.

They were surveying the deck from the Revenge, readying to board when the ships servants came on deck, making them hesitate for a moment. When one of the servants turned around, a chill ran through Frenchie and he froze on the spot.

It had been years, but... he still remembered that face. He would always remember that face.

His mother...

He felt as if every ounce of breath had left his body. His mother was right there. After all these years... she was there. Frenchie tried to will himself to say something, to tell someone who she was and that they needed to get to her. But he was so in shock that he couldn't move.

The shock turned into horror only a moment later when the Captain of the ship turned to the group of servants and even from the Revenge it could be seen how he was admonishing them. Yelling something that was lost on the wind until suddenly raised his gun and fired it at his mother. Killing her instantly.

Frenchie cried out but it was drowned out by the rest of the crew yelling and springing into action. It didn't take long before the crew of the ship were either killed or taken captive for ransom. Frenchie had gone numb whilst everything happened, barely anything registering with him. Commands not reaching his ears.

Whilst the rest of the crew were taking the captives and any supplies back over to the Revenge, Frenchie made sure that all of the servants got onto one of the small boats the Naval ship used to go to shore with enough supplies to last them and a little more. He had wrapped up his mothers body and the servants promised to make sure she would get a proper burial before he sent them on their way.

Returning to the ship, Frenchie hadn't said a word the entire time and, whilst everyone else was going over everything and celebrating, he went below deck. Face expressionless and not hearing any words that made have been said after him.

He found a quiet spot that he knew no one ever really went to and sat down upon the floor, drawing his knees up to his chest and curling his arms around them. Eyes closed tight as Frenchie tried to will what had just happened into the little box he kept within his mind for all the bad things he had seen. But no matter how hard he tried, the box just wouldn't close. Tears began to form in the corners of his eyes the harder and harder he tried to force it closed. But it was too much and he could almost see the cracks beginning to form.

Frenchie was so lost within his mind that he didn't hear someone approaching.

(Honkai Star Rail 1.2 Xianzhou story quest HEAVY SPOILERS)

My headcanon for as to why Phantylia didn’t actually kill Tingyun and instead stashed her away somewhere is that, despite being an incorporeal bodysnacher that leaves her proxies for death, she  felt kinship with Tingyun over their mutual fear of death.

We can assume that the playable Tingyun is the “true” one, since none of her interactions say otherwise, then we have this line:

Tingyun’s worst fear is death, to the point that she expects to die every time she ventures out and is deathly scared of getting injured (which comes of as a sort off damsely mannerism).

Now Phantylia is a Lord Ravager, which would imply that she became one willingly, but in the “List of Archenemies” chapter on the Lords we can read:

You can be twisted and evil being from the start when becoming a Lord Ravager, but there are often ones that become one simply to delay the destruction of their world or themselves and their values only get twisted when they get “Blessed by The Destruction”.

Even then, how would we know if Phantylia used to be one of those unwilling subjects to Nanook? Well there is the description from Regret of Infinite Ochema:

Phantylia is scared of death too, one could argue everyone is scared of death, but there is “being scared of death” and there is straight up thanatophobia. Ultimately she does not care about destruction and spreading Nanooks will, she only wants an immortal vessel so she can be free of this fear of hers.

I like to think this kinship in mutual fear is what allowed Tingyun to be spared in the end. Phantylia, despite years of inflicting pain and suffering, couldn’t kill somebody who reminded her so much of herself.

//TIL why Reno isn't around for Rebirth and ngl, I'm very sad.

I always say that I'm a bit annoyed at how fandoms tend to glorify voice actors as though they are the real characters, when videogame characters especially are born from the efforts of many different people (concept designers, 3D graphic artists, editors, animators, screenwriters...) who don't get half the recognition voice actors do. But even believing this, knowing that Reno lost his Japanese voice from the Advent Children days (9 years, folks) feels like the character itself lost a really important piece of his soul.

And I say this as someone who has never played/watched FFVII in Japanese, too.

I don't know, it's really hard to balance these two contrasting feelings. Just the other day I learned Cyno lost his Korean voice too, so maybe that's adding up to the upset.

I am still incredibly appreciative of all the creative team behind each and every character in my favorite games. Their hard work cannot be overstated.

[that-ineffable-devil]

I...need some input, guys (gn). Some outside perspective.

My mother's husband is in liver failure. Like "added to the transplant list as an emergency" failure. Considering his track record, I don't know how he's making it on the list, but regardless there are rising medical bills.

Now for some VERY simplified backstory:

The Husband: my mother married this man after I was a full grown adult with a kid of my own and I've spent very little time with him. What time I HAVE spent with him has alternated between genial/amusing to "I blocked his prejudiced ass so he'd leave me alone." I haven't spoken to him in over 5 years and generally can't stand him. But I don't want him to die.

The Mother: I only spent the first 7 or 8 years of my life with my mother, and most of those memories are repressed under a thick haze of trauma. We're talking "even the memories I do have aren't in any chronological order and I can't remember how old I was when they happened" kind of repression. My most vivid memories of my mother that don't include physical trauma are when she'd call me (when I was a kid) in the middle of the night, drunk, to either apologize/explain that she wasn't that bad of a mom or yell at me for being spoiled and abandoning her. She claims not to remember these events.

We've tried a few times in my adult life to reconnect, but it always goes sour quite quickly. When I came out to her as trans, she immediately rejected the idea and started sending me "transition regret" videos from YouTube and calling my grandmother to yell at her for supporting me.

I told her off and she stopped that. Ever since, she's pretended like nothing happened and started sending me funny videos as if to bridge the gap she created decades ago, while I've been pushing further away because, at this point, I don't want her in my life at all. I don't want to put in the effort when I know I'll only end up hurt in the end.

But then her husband got sick. And just like when I was a little kid, I feel obligated to be there for her. To hold her hand and support her because, I guess, I don't hate her. I don't like her. I don't even know if I really love her. But I don't hate her, and I DO hate when people are hurting.

Then yesterday, she messages me out of the blue asking me to create a GoFundMe for her husband's medical bills. I haven't read the whole message because I don't know how I'm going to respond yet, but I'm feeling really gross about it. She makes very little money, I know, and I don't think he's worked the entire time they've been married, and I know he doesn't have insurance. Maybe it's a moot point, because I feel like if my grandmother finds out, she'll pressure me into doing it, too, and I have an even harder time telling her no.

So, I guess, tl;dr: My transphobic and emotionally manipulative parent wants me to create a GoFundMe for her dying husband's medical bills for reasons, and I'm not sure I want to since I'm trying to go no contact, but I feel obligated to help her because the man is dying and she's suffering. What do I do here? Am I a horrible person for even hesitating?

#I hate to air my own dirty laundry out here #But I feel like I really need an outsider's perspective here #Because I feel like a really shit person for even hesitating on this #Because she DID once create a GoFundMe for me to help me cover moving costs for a new job when I had nothing #She's honestly not the worst person in the world and has been thru a lot #But I don't feel like that justifies the way she's treated me either #And it kinda feels like she's using that one act of kindness as leverage to push me into this #This is just another reason I'm trying to move out of state #I need to get as far away from these people as I possibly can #Also want to add that I am NOT her only kid but I AM the only one she bailed on and treated like a pariah #cw: abuse mention #cw: alcohol mention #cw: death mention #cw: transphobia mention

I am, as much as I hate it, still awake, so I'll probably try to do some writing to distract myself.

Today would have been our mom's birthday, so I'm feeling a bit off right now.

She finally passed away a few years back, after my sister and I had been taking care of her here at home for like five, six years? as she deteriorated more and more from frontotemporal dementia.

So yeah. That's a thing.

Something about the fact that Tommy was pretty much Wilbur's right hand man, and stuck with him through all of L'Manberg, Pogtopia, etc, and followed his command so trustingly, despite being hurt so many times over by it and ultimately being abandoned by Wilbur... and the fact that the nickname for the British Army was the Tommies, and were continually screwed over by the people in power sending the commands, with many if not most of them being killed in the field.

Idk, just something I noticed.

If you can resurect fossil pokemon using their bones, could you do the same with a cubones mother using the skull they wear?

I mean, I am not a pokémon Professor or acheologyst, but I can give my oppinions on the matter, I'm a huge fossils nerd.

So, you technically could, but that's not the point of archeological pokemon reconstruction (That's the technical name of the "resurrection"). The point of resurrecting a fossil using its DNA is to help us study them after they've gone extinct, how they looked, their behaviors, etc. It's called a reconstruction because you're not reviving a pokémon, you're cloning them and creating a new one.

In the case of Cubone and Marowak, I suppose you could clone its mother but that wouldn't be the same as bringing it back from the dead, and I would argue that it is morally wrong. Unfortunately, we have no way to truly bring a Pokémon back once they've passed
