just saying jason todd probably wrote batman fanfic as both a form of therapy and karma

my evidence:

- he's a lit nerd. every lit nerd has written fanfiction at somepoint. if you're a lit nerd and you haven't, you're a liar or you will be writing fanfiction soon. be ready.

- you're a liar if you think the batfam didn't have a giant fandom in gotham city (and other cities that had batman shipped with their hero (metropolis im looking at you))

- he'd get to tear the shit out of batman with well thought out arguments against stuff without actually having to try and make bruce listen

- the authors notes.

- 'sorry i haven't updated in two years, i got blown up resurrected and turned into an assassin by my step-mum. here's some fluff as an apology'

- i feel like i could go on for a while but I'll leave it there

#also as the ultimate bat fanboy tim defo read it #absolutely dedicated #kudosed #bookmarked #saved #mans wrote paragraphs in the comment section #he has no idea jasons the author and jason has no idea tim is his dedicated reader batboy1234 #tim has a moment of clarity when it updats for the first time in years #the bats were always written oddly well #barbara both knows about the fics and who wrote them shes just watching this happen #Jason's the mskingbeans89 of the batfamily fandom #everyone lives/nobody dies (except the joker) #jason todd #batboys #tim drake #dcu #batfam #red hood

Behind the Scenes of Day of the Doctor (Part 12)

Excerpt from this BBC Media Centre interview with David Tennant:

Do you still watch Doctor Who?

Of course, I watch it every time it’s on, along with the rest of the nation.

How did you find filming in 3D compared to 2D?

Our job as actors remains the same really, but you’re aware that there’s a whole extra layer of technical stuff that has to be dealt with and the cameras are bigger. We shot a lot on this hand held camera, which was quite trying for Joe, our intrepid camera operator, who has this enormous thing that he has to lug around and navigate around the set; he did it brilliantly. But it causes some headaches for the camera teams and for the post production side of making it. We’re not doing too much novelty weaving into the lens for the 3D effect, but it gives it an extra zing.

Where will you be watching the episode?

Wherever I am in the world and whatever I’m doing, I’m sure I will make time for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special.

During filming did you ever have a pinch yourself moments thinking, ‘God, I’m back’ or anything like that?

I think the thing with filming Doctor Who is that there is so much excitement around it and there’s so much enthusiasm for it that often the lead up to getting here is more of a delight than shooting it.

Because once you’re on set there’s a script and there’s lines and you’ve got to get the scene shot and they are the pressures that filming always has. Really, you’re just trying to film the scenes the best you possibly can, so you sort of put aside the idea that you’re making something that is a moment in television history. The pressure of that would sort of paralyse you really.

ANIME vs MANGA: GOHAN'S ULTIMATE FORM

This one is gonna be a bit different than my other anime vs manga posts. This time I will discuss the original DB manga, DBGT, DBS anime, & DBS manga. And I will show how the DBS manga has made unnecessary changes to what Toriyama originally wrote and now Toyotaro has to make corrections. (Seems like there's more proof that Toriyama doesn't work closely with Toyotaro as ppl often said/say. 🤔)

TORIYAMA'S ORIGINAL WORK:

In the original manga, Potential Unleashed is a state that Gohan has to tap into as if it was a transformation. GT does not follow what was written in the original manga, nor does the DBS manga.

DRAGON BALL GT:

GT Gohan diverts from how Potential Unleashed was in the original manga. We never see GT Gohan go into his Potential Unleashed form. He was written to always be utilizing his potential unleashed power in every form & he could stack SSJ on top of said power.

The Dragon Ball Super Card Game also inaccurately made a card that stated Gohan could stack SSJ on top of his Ultimate State. But, as we know, games are often a source for inaccurate information.

DBS MANGA CONTINUITY:

Being a big fan of DBGT, Toyotaro wrote his version of DBS Gohan to be like how Gohan was written in GT. DBS manga Gohan does not activate his Ultimate form prior to the Super Hero Saga. Rather, Toyo wrote for Gohan to always in some sort of ultimate state. So, the DBS manga condradicted Toriyama's original work.

I know some say that VIZ mistranslated this, but...

JAPANESE: オレはサイヤ人としてではなく1人の人間として進化する道を選んだ. 自分がサイヤ人であることに頼ったりしない

ENGLISH: I chose to evolve as a human, not as a Saiyan. I will not rely on being a Saiyan.

Also... Gohan has always relied on his Saiyan blood to get him stronger. Zenkai Boosts anyone? Saiyan blood is part of his genetics. What a dumb line. 😑

DBS ANIME CONTINUITY:

When Toyotaro writes for Gohan to say that he has no need to turn Super Saiyan & will keep evolving as a human in Chapter 39... Toyo took that from a scene from DBS EP 90 where Gohan says he doesn't need to turn SSJ & will find an ultimate form a different way than Goku has found (Goku's way being through mixing god forms with SSJ transformations). But, Toyo bastardized it to the point it makes zero sense.

The DBS anime has consistently followed how Toriyama originally wrote for the Potential Unleashed state to function. Gohan has his base form, Super Saiyan forms, & his Potential Unleashed state that he can activate as well.

CONCLUSION:

The DBS anime continuity & the anime film DBS: Super Hero were already following the original manga. But, Toyotaro (the GT fanboy) had went with one of the many innacurate ideas from the GT continuity and now he has to correct that huge inconsistency to make the DBS manga line up with the original manga. This means that now...

DBS manga Gohan IS NOT always in a potential unleashed state anymore. That has been correctly retconned. And DBS manga Gohan DOES NOT stack SSJ on top of his potential unleashed power like GT Gohan.

DBS manga Gohan NOW turns SSJ instead of saying he doesn't he doesn't need to turn SSJ anymore.

DBS manga Gohan NOW has to activate his Potential Unleashed state similar to a transformation.

This is now another one of the many unnecessary retcons from Toyotaro that had to be corrected.

Which did it better? It's obviously the DBS anime continuity because it actually followed Toriyama's original work.

I found this story on the Bela Lugosi blog, about a young fan (Arthur Lennig, who later wrote the book The Count about Bela Lugosi, the interview is actually for that book - Lillian and Bela Lugosi Jr are included too).

I was 15, I met Mrs. Lugosi and I met Bela, first backstage, when he was doing Dracula in summer stock, then on later in Arsenic & Old Lace. And I told them that I had this shrine in my cellar of my house, and I had always worshiped him. And he was just as pleasant off-screen as he was unpleasant onscreen. So, I was delighted about that. He said “I’d like to see what you have at home.” And so, he made Mrs. Lugosi drive. The great Bela could invent all kinds of things as a mad scientist, but he couldn’t drive a car. And so they drove about eight or nine miles back to my house. And he came in and—there was my mother—and said “Hello, mother,” and he shook her hand. And we went down the cellar, and I had all my photos on the wall. He was kind of proud of me, and patted me on the back, and we had our photos taken. Mrs. Lugosi took the two of us together, and I took them together. And it’s in my book, I have those pictures.

From the photo caption on the blog: A 15-year-old Arthur Lennig photographed outside his home with Bela Lugosi

#bela lugosi #this is such a sweet story #i thought his last wife said he'd also welcome fans to his house and help them with their dracula make up when they dressed up #bela wouldve LOVED modern fan conventions #can you imagine this kid had the ultimate fanboy moment they drove 8 miles to go see his shrine omg i love it

The real tragedy of Fëanor never getting rembodied is that we'll never have a Bilbo/Fëanor interaction in Valinor.

#I just wanted to see how it would go okay #Bilbo is the ONE person who would have no problem roasting Fëanor #but he'd also fanboy so hard #he's a certified history & language nerd & Fëanor is the ultimate linguist & historian he had established a school! #not to mention that he himself was probably the most important historical figure! #but nothing could have stopped Bilbo from being a lil shit #& he would get away with it cuz he always does #he could sing about the exact moment Elrond's abandonment issues started in front of Elrond in the house of Elrond & get away with it #lord of the rings #silmarillion #the silm #lotr #tolkien #jrrt #bilbo baggins #Fëanoro #feanor #my two cents #ok but maybe Bilbo wouldn't have been the only character who would roast Fëanor Nerdanel could would and canonically did

One of the only reasons Mhoirbheinn was able to kill his father was because Bhaltair simply didn't expect it. The man is extremely cunning and has survived his fair share of plots against him over the centuries of his life and during his time as advisor for more than one king.

But up until the point of the manor massacre, Mhoirbheinn had been a pretty obedient boy. There were no real signs of rebellion or acting out from him. When he snapped and killed his older brother that night, he essentially got to the rest of the house and to Bhaltair before news of that could even spread within that single moment.

#{Bhaltair #{Mhoirbheinn Headcanon #mentioned /I believe/ in a chat with Kirei but not put on the blog #I'm thinking again on it because in Mhoirbheinn and Bal's alt-verse #the instantaneous snap in Mhoirbheinn doesn't happen #and his plot is a slow-burn so he kills his brother but doesn't immediately go after his dad #which gives Bhaltair time to catch onto things since he /is/ a smart man #which ultimately makes him a much more formidable enemy to contrast how quickly he went out in his main verse #he's like all of those annoying B.atman fanboys #the ones that say 'give him enough time to prep and plan and he's soloing anyone'

[class1akids]

why does todoroki get sidelined when it comes to being a allmight fan boy?

Because he wasn't allowed to have any All Might merch, not even hero chips.

Paying fans come first. 🙃

#c1a asks #does shouto being sidelined as all might fanboy annoy me? #yeah sometimes #but he got his fight in kamino #and all might watched it #and used his victory to reassure and hype others #ultimately shouto's story though is about being torn between his ideal #all might #and his reality #being endeavor's son #i hope hk will give it a good conclusion #todoroki shouto

finished reading the oppenheimer biography, american prometheus. unironically, it was a banger. love it when real life follows the arc of a traditional greek tragedy lmao... anyways. hats off to the sheer pettiness of lewis strauss, the likes of which will never be seen again. witness:

what a man... all this effort put forward simply to get one guy out of his way

oh no. the fall cometh after the petty reputation-destroying conspiracies

dear god its giving ⤴️

pls note that at this point almost ten years have passed since the security hearing. you must hand it to the guy, he kept up being a hater for two decades!

okay strauss i bet you grieved

#disclaimer that im not an oppie fanboy or anything #(my opinion is that he was a flighty fella; altho his trial was unfair he himself outed friends and students as commies #and ultimately he got off better than them since he kept his job as a physicist and didn't have to leave the country) #but strauss' sheer hate and pettiness is just. unbelievable. #oppenheimer
