Love of duty, devotion to virtue, pursuit of truth, and the quest of intellectual ideals are all so many immanent goals which prove that man has an internal activity which far surpasses that of lower creatures and gives him spiritual supremacy over them. That is why man is the master of the universe; that is why it is his right to harness the waterfall, to make the plant his food, to imprison the bird for his song, to serve the venison at his table. There is a hierarchy of life in the universe, and the life of man is higher than any other life—not because he has nutritive powers like a plant, not because he has generative powers like a beast, but because he has thinking and willing powers like God. These constitute his greatest claim to life; and in losing these, he becomes worse than a beast.

Quick dp x dc prompt:
The BatFam finds out via getting tagged a million times on any and all social media sites that Damian apparently got drunkenly married to Jon & Elle while the three were in Las Vegas.
And that alone is making them all lose their collective minds, but somehow there's yet still more on top of that punch in the face because apparently the three didn't get married as Damian Wayne, Jon Kent and Elle Nightingale.
Oh no, that'd be way too easy to handle when it came to how the press and wider world reacted to the youngest son and until very recently one of the most eligible bachelors in the world getting married at three in the morning in a haunted-house themed 24-hour Vegas chapel by a guy dressed up like Zombie Elvis.
No, instead the three of them got married as civilian Damian Wayne and very much not civilians Superboy/Jon-El the Son of Superman and Nomad/Stella Phantom the Crown Princess of the Infinite Realms.
-
also bonus meme stuff, this is absolutely how Damian, Jon and Elle greet the paparazzi upon stumbling out of the chapel and the images being shared absolutely everywhere. Steph frames them and hangs them up as the three's "Wedding Photos" because she finds it absolutely hilarious:

So. Tucker might’ve done an oopsie. But it’s not his fault! How was he supposed to know you weren’t supposed to even be able to hack into the watchtower with a PDA? He uses PDAs for everything, and it’s not like it’s even hard???
…
Why are the heroes looking at him like that?

It's so funny to me that Dorothea's explicit reason to come to the Academy is to find a find husband and subsequently live a comfortable life and then she's there and then couldn't give a rat's ass about any of the guys.
To the girls she's all sweet and supportive and loving and sometimes gay. And to the guys... well she's not mean to all of them but she clearly doesn't see any of them as an option until the end of a support chain and doesn't enthuisastically go out of her way to aid them.
Girl is classmates with several wealthy heirs and supposedly looking for a husband and comfortable life, but would clearly rather, happily, spend her life eloping to Brigid or fistfighting Count Varley.

Damian: Quick, I need you to pretend to be my lover! Take off your clothes, let's have sex.
Jon: Ummm, wait. That's not pretending.
Damian: Tt, it's called method acting.

Aizawa and Hizashi 100% always pull the "I have a husband" gag with eachother. Hizashi in his casuals walking up to Eraserhead to give him a bento and Eraser smiling and cheekily going "I'm flattered but I'm tragically married." Aizawa phoning into Mic's radio to flirt with him and Mic dramatically going "Oh dear listener I sure hope my husband isn't listening he's prone to jealousy!" but he's laughing as he says it etc etc it's their favourite ongoing gag and everyone is sick of it

Prompt 195
“Oh. It’s you.”
The entity that had been summoned practically growled, a cloak like swirling galaxies- or was it swirling galaxies molded into a cloak- shimmering around their form. One pair of arms crossed over a chest where a star pulsed with the heartbeat of universes, alive yet dying as lazarus green eyes glowered down at the league and bats alike.
“You know you could, fucking call, right?” they whined, aura of terror suddenly broken, unnatural fear torn away and leaving all of them wrong-footed and confused.
Well, apparently all of them except for Ras, who had an honest to fuck grin on his face, one that looks almost carefree, if a little feral. Nope. No thanks. Not this timeline-
“But phones didn’t exist last we spoke, ya ‘amar.”

okay folks, it’s Katie Rose Clarke appreciation time.
she is an absolute icon. i’m telling you, she was born to play Glinda. she is one of few actors i’ve seen who highlight the stark difference in Glinda’s life in Act One and Two so well. i mean the difference between her Popular and Thank Goodness is CRAZY.
not only that, but she’s played alongside SO MANY elphaba’s, yet brings something different and refreshing to the role every time she’s alongside someone new. and that’s not easy, considering that she’s literally the longest running Glinda (on Broadway? in total? not completely sure but she’s played this role a lot).
she’s utterly hilarious but she’s also completely heartbreaking, soul twisting, gut wrenching, whatever other words you wanna use i ran out. the emotions are so raw, you can tell she loves this role and she loves her job. if you haven’t seen her perform anything (not even just wicked. her light in the piazza performance is astounding.) RUN your little legs over to youtube and search her name because she’s SO GOOD.
anyway long story short i love KRC and you should too.

I don’t think Elphelt is ready to fuck necessarily. She’s ready to get married. She wants to do everything possible to get someone to marry her and play out her dreamy romance fantasies. She does also say she wants to have kids and grandkids and great grandkids. But despite all that I’m not entirely convinced she knows what sex is tbh
