Medblr, I'll admit it - I am watching The Last of Us. I am only a human and over the past few years I have discovered that Reluctant Adoptive Father + Magical Child +/- Horse (really ideally + Horse, P.S. I love you, Roach, sassy chestnut mares 4 lyfe <3) is a genre that really works for me, plus I do play me the occasional video game and appreciate the work people do to adapt them to a different form of media
So far I have overlooked the blatant slander against fungi and I have managed to suspend my disbelief until this most recent episode when Pedro Pascal looks at Bella Ramsay and says, "There were definitely doctors here. This is a packing list."
And then the camera zooms in on this:
(Don't @ me, I know this is a picture of my laptop taken by my phone, damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a graphic artist)
I would like to register the following complaints, to start:
1. This is legible, which means it is DEFINITELY not written by a doctor
2. I am 500% sure no doctor would have the sense to make a packing list in the event of an apocalypse, we would at best grab shit and run
3. IV BAGS (SALINE)???? WHAT KIND OF SALINE, MY FRIEND???? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT WITHOUT THE IV TUBING OR, LIKE, A WAY TO PLACE THE IV????
4. IV BAGS (MORPHINE)??? WHO IS STORING THEIR MORPHINE IN AN IV BAG, WHAT CONCENTRATION IS IT, AND I REPEAT MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE IV TUBING AND HOW TO PLACE THE IV????
5. Okay you know what fine I'll give you acetaminophen but that's probably not what I would put as item number 3 (partly because I am a doctor and do not have enough sense to make a list, see point 2 above) and I am judging whoever wrote this for not writing a dose or formulation
6. FIRST AID KITS (STOCKED)????? I BEG YOUR ENTIRE PARDON????????
Medblr, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to watch this show anymore - I simply cannot buy into a world where doctors bother to write legibly in order to make lists like this
I would be curious as to the list you would illegibly not-write in the event of an apocalypse, though
Thoughts?

Kyoya doesn’t particularly want kids, but knows he should for his family and to carry on the blood line. He loves his child, engages and helps his partner, but that “natural paternal instinct” does not resonate with him. He does not look forward to playdates with other families, and is just not overly fond of children. His kid is about one and a half, and Kyoya and his partner are hosting a big dinner party with many Important People. The sitter canceled at the last minute, and Kyoya’s partner persuades him that it would be fine if the little one stays for the party. Maybe some of the Important People will be softened by the cute face. Kyoya was holding the baby as the Most Annoying of Important People walked by. He showered Kyoya with sticky sweet praise, and Kyoya noticed out of the corner of his eyes, the baby’s face went from cooing to tight lipped and annoyed. As soon as the Most Annoying of Important People walked away, the baby heaved the largest sigh and eye rolled so intensely that Kyoya saw mostly white as the eyes turned right, up, left, and back to staring ahead, still looking vaguely annoyed. Kyoya is *smitten*. Because that, that everything, from the annoyed face to the sigh to the eye roll was soooo him. The baby had his partner’s adorable eye smile, the sweetest giggles, and his partner’s way of dazzling the room, but this. This child was the best parts of his partner and all the sassy parts of Kyoya. Suddenly, Kyoya saw a future with this child where he could laugh with the little one at family functions, roll their eyes together at the antics of Tamaki, and that no matter what the child did, Kyoya would love, support and absolutely adore them.

The one AU where Bruce and Tony Stark are BFFs since their boarding school days?
(I know there are a few of them out there as it is, I just really, really love the whole idea, okay.)
Rich kids far from home in a strange environment and maybe they weren’t besties at first glance but there are worse people they could tossed together with, right?
Life happens as its wont to do and they might drift apart here and there but the social circles they travel in and business dealing and such mean they run into one another every so often.
And if Bruce happened to disappear for a while there and came back...Different, well.
Things happen, you know?
The guy in the bat-themed suit who shows up in Gotham around the same time is far from subtle - Tony remembers the story about Bruce and the cave under the manor, okay, just. Christ, Bruce, be a little less subtle okay.
(Also, Tony donating a ridiculous amount of money to some bat rescue or funding a new bat enclosure at one of the zoos in Gotham or just a plaque on a bench in that section of said zoo(s) in Bruce’s name is like. Hilarious, okay Bruce, just think about it.)
Shenanigans off and on between the two of them over the years - and then the Starks with with the “car accident” of theirs, but Bruce is embroiled in some Gotham-based crisis or other at the time and never has the chance to do more than send a heart-felt card and tasteful flower arrangement.
(Tries to call Tony, but Tony’s not in the right frame of mind and Bruce gets it, but Gotham needs him and it’s just. Life.)
Time passes and things get better and by the time Tony thinks to look in on Bruce again the man’s got a couple of kids and Tony is like “Well, that’s unexpected,” and Bruce gets a thing in the mail about some donation to the Audobon Society or similar such thing in his name and he figures he and Tony are good again.
More of life happening, and every so often WE gets this little psst, hey, want to collaborate on new body armor and defensive gear with SI? It’ll definitely be lucrative and also possibly explodey at times and overall fun times.
And so on.
Somewhere in there Bruce joins this team of goody-two shoes and Tony absolutely loves showing up at whatever galas or events Brucie Wayne goes to when one or more of Bruce’s teammates are there in their civilian personas because it’s way too fun to both mess with Bruce and his teammates?
(More hilarious before Bruce’s teammates figure out who the Batman really is, but still. Fun times.)
Tony makes little daytrips to San Francisco around the time the Titans become a thing and Bruce is like wait, no, because Tony’s kind of a terrible human being?
But also kind of nice knowing he’s keeping an eye on Dick and the other Titans in his own bizarre way, he supposes.
(Because of course Tony knows Bruce’s kids, and they’re like lol at the grief the two of them give one another, and anyway, yes.)
Jason dies and things are terrible for a while there because Jesus Christ, Bruce lost one of his kids and Tony is like out of his depth and also Bruce is Bruce and thank god for that Drake kid, y’know?
Life continues to happen, Tony gets kidnapped and Bruce is like.
What, now?
But some crisis or other and while he dedicates resources to helping look for Tony he’s busy in Gotham so he directs funds and what resources he can towards Pepper and Rhodey to help SI continue the search.
The Iron Man thing is a surprise in all the ways it isn’t, and while unfortunately there’s no animal-themed charity/foundation whatever Bruce can make a donation to/for in Tony’s name he figures something out.
(Also the thing in which WE and SI continue to collaborate on body armor and defensive gear and so on, and if the Batfam get a few extra shiny bits of vigilante-type gear or bells and whistles on their existing gear after Iron Man shows up on the scene, no one’s talking.)
Life continues to happen, rumors of Iron Man passing through Gotham happen and sightings of a Bat or Bird on the west coast isn’t new with the Titans based in Frisco and such?
Then the Avengers happen and there’s this Thing - an event or gala or whatever after the Battle of New York to drum up good PR for the team - and wouldn’t you know it?
Brucie Wayne and at one of more of his kids are in attendance.
Shenanigans in which the Avengers are completely baffled about everything - because Tony and Brucie and the Wayne kids and Drake-Wayne kid and just.
What the hell is going on?
Brucie and his kids popping up around Stark Tower in New York every so often - since they were in the area and such.
Inevitable attacks from assorted Rogues and VotW and so on when Tony and Brucie or one of Bruce’s - and then later Tony’s kids - are in the same place at the same vicinity for any amount of time.
Batfam or Iron Man and/one of Iron Man’s kids to the rescue?
Bruce and Tony being like, wait, no, terrible idea, when they both end up with a batch of kids at the mere thought of their kids colluding because surely that would kick off end of days level of shenanigans and hijinks right there?
Also.
Tony making a go at stealing Tim for SI out from under Bruce’s nose because the kid is terrifying? Meanwhile Pepper is like, “Yes, but also Tam Fox, because she has ALL the potential and Bruce is like !!! because Tim and Tam are like hmm, interesting.
(Mostly to mess with Bruce. Mostly.)
General sort of shenanigans in which neither Bruce or Tony are the least bit forthcoming about how the hell they know one another or how well they do?
Tony absolutely figure out the Batman thing from the start and vice versa with Bruce and the Iron Man thing.
They’ve definitely been helping one another out over the year - their companies working on joint projects having to do with body armor and related gadgets and so on.
Being old family friends/unofficial weird uncle types to their respective kids and so on.
Oh, God, Tim with a teeny little helper/friend robot with its own AI? ANY of the Batkids with a teeny little helper/friend robot with its own AI???
(Bruce getting a package overnighted him after a particularly nasty crisis and it’s a teeny little helper/friend robot with its own AI meant to keep an eye on Bruce wherever Alfred can’t?)
Safe havens when needed during times of crisis and completely baffling to anyone not in the know?
(Also the press and tabloids love to present them as Bitter Business Rivals!!1! in everything, which they both happen to think is hilarious? Because lol, no, but still hilarious to send one another the latest article having to do with how much they must hate one another and so on?)
Just like.
General idiot friends who love trolling their other idiot friends and also live in terror of the day their kids inevitably take over the world because it will happen, trust them on that one.
