Can’t believe all it took for me to care about the MCU again was Yelena getting a super-powered boy toy with crippling depression

I can never stop thinking about The Neighborhood (Nightwing (1996) #10). It lives rent-free in my mind. Like, here's a list of things that appear/happen in Dick's nightmare:

He's married to Donna

They have two kids

Donna is cheating on him with Roy

Dick works an office job

Dick's boss is the Joker

Bruce works at the same company as him but much higher up

Bruce & Selina are married

They also live next door to Dick & Donna

Poison Ivy and the Penguin are married and also live nearby

Jason is a skeleton and the paperboy and he goes by JT

Jean-Paul Valley takes Bruce's place above Dick when Bruce gets promoted

Tim also works there and gets mad at Dick for screwing up the budget

Bruce throws Dick's son out a window & the kid falls to his death

Like... Dick, buddy, there's a lot to unpack there. have you considered talking to someone about any of that. I think you probably should but I know you're not going to.

What home smells like (Crossroads comments)

Note: judging by the audio I extracted and the conversation file, Bellara and Taash don't have lines for that event (if they actually have lines and I missed them, pls lmk).

Rook: That scent… I can't place it. Neve: For a moment… it smelled like Dock Town after it rains. Lucanis: Coffee. Like Illario and I smelled in the kitchen where we grew up. But that cannot be right. Harding: That's my ma's apple cake! But… how? Davrin: That's smoke from my old clan's campfire. But… how do I even know that? Emmrich: It's reminiscent of the mortuary's perfumes, but… ah. Of course. Emmrich: There's small enchantments around this place. From the old elves, welcoming their kindred home.

The new Spy x Family chapter is still working in favour of my Shopkeeper headcanons. I always figured he had a soft spot for Yor, and on the surface their relationship seems about the same as it always has. However, I'm focusing on the code names. The two other new assassins are Hemlock and Gympie (both of which are dangerous plants - very subtle). They just have the one name they go by, but Yor's is a two parter: Thorn Princess. She could just be Thorn, which would fit the theme. But the added "Princess" part softens the name (not in a bad way, mind you - but rather than draw to mind a prickly thorn bush the "Princess" part makes one think of roses).

My theory is this: Shopkeeper is shown to have interest in the Imperial history of the area, right? So he's already influenced by ideas of royalty and holds that bygone era in high regard. When meets little, desperate child Yor and is trying to come up with a codename for her, he realizes he can't give this painfully innocent kid a harsh assassin name. So he adds "Princess" after "Thorn". Maybe once she becomes hardened and emotionless like the rest of them, he'll drop the "Princess" title. But she never does - she stays positive and warm and kind (just like a Princess from fairytales) and he just can't train it out of her. Her kindness never actually interferes with her work, so he leaves it.

And as a result, in his Garden full of poisonous and stinging plants, he's got one bright red rose.

(Side note about the other code names: Gympie Gympie bushes are some of the world's most venomous plants and hurt like a bitch to touch. Like, nettles on steroids. They cause severe, long-lasting pain if just lightly brushed against, which could imply that Gympie may have slightly different doctrine on allowing victims to suffer than Yor. Hemlock, on the other hand is incredibly toxic from roots to seeds and is known to grow in a variety of different environments. It doesn't hurt you to touch it, but it will kill you if you ingest it. Hemlock is famous for killing Socrates (as it was a method of execution used by ancient Greece). Hemlock - the agent - seems to be what Yor should be: a cold, calculating assassin with very little value for any life, regardless of how beneficial they may be. The choice of code name could suggest their complete lack of mercy (and - possibly - an anti-intellectualism viewpoint related back to the whole Socrates thing. They didn't understand the point of a ladybug in a garden, of all things. I know not everyone knows about ladybugs but with a boss who is obsessed with gardening you would think the agents would at least be aware).

THAT brocedes interview

That gave me heart palpitations. I feel CRAZY.

Here's a full transcript:

DC (On Toto Wolff and Zac Brown missing Christian): Your yin needs and yang, Nico, I would say on that one, so in most respects I think they probably are.

NR: It's like Senna and Prost, who suddenly, when Prost retired, Senna realised, 'Oh damn, I hate that guy, but I actually want him to be here.' And they became best friends afterwards

DC: Well, your world championship win in 2016, would you look back on that so fondly now if it hadn't have been Lewis Hamilton that you beat, who was your teammate and your big rival at the time?

NR: No, of course not, that really made uh- was a big part of it for sure, so you are right, in that sense.

DC: So do you miss Lewis now?

NR: Uh (laughs nervously)

DC: (unintelligible) just ask the question-

NR: uh- I- I'm okay, I'm okay

DC: Are you still next-door neighbours?

NR: We uh-, we live in the same building, yeah, so we catch up from time to time. But we have a very nice, mutual relationship now UM-

DC and MB: "A very nice mutual relationship...."

NR: Moving on-

DC: Have you- has he still got your safe? Was it when he first moved in, you put his- your little safe in his apartment?

NR: The other way, he put his safe in our apartment.

DC: Yeah, you looked after the jewellery for a bit.

NR: I was considering whether I should kind of like I should forget where I put it when he next asked for it but then I did give it back.

MB: When I was driving for McLaren and you two kids, were karting at the time, came in and terrorised the motorhome, you were so annoying as kids, you and Lewis, running 'round the place

NR: Yes, uh-

MB: Causing havoc, I've always wanted to tell you that actually.

DC to MB: And there you were trying to have a nice quiet moment.

MB: Well me and Nico have a mutual relationship, as of now anyway.

NR: The worst was the hotel rooms we left behind because we shared a hotel room for two years. Uh and we would have- like- wrestling competitions (laughs) in the hotel room. They (the hotel rooms) would not look- they wouldn't be at their best afterwards.

DC: Bit like rock and roll on tour was it?

NR: Yes yes yes

DC: Sometimes I love a rain delay because you get the sort of information we never actually expected to get when you came into work that day.

..... after some talk about the weather .....

NR: Is there any way- I just got sent this funny picture of Lewis and I as thirteen-year-olds, is there any way for me to get that on screen or?

The photo in question:

NR: I just got that yesterday, because we were always on holiday together you know, we were best friends at the time. So here was us actually at my parents house, quading, flat out quading, always with an engine, full speed on everything. And Lewis was proper nuts, like he was nuts. Completely. I remember once we went jet skiing together, I was on the back of him, on the same jet ski, oh my goodn- I made- I had such a big shunt, I flew off in the biggest way. And then we went with two stand up jet skis, and we were- I was watching him go off this giant wave from the ferry, he did not lift. He was- I'd never seen someone go so high, airborne and he came crashing down and knocked open his chin, when he smacked down onto the jet ski as he landed, just completely- so he was lying there half unconscious, I had to- I had to go like check that he's okay, his chin was cut open, a complete nutcase,
