The whole “My parents hit me and I turned out fine” is a LIE…

At best, we turned out okayish and tried to heal…

A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.

Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.

Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.

And there isn’t the same contempt afterwards I’ve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said “Sorry Ellie” and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.

Persona 3 Spoilers (not really but still)

That message from Tomochika

I can’t—

It’s actually kinda funny that he sends this though, like, and then he gives you a choker to wear…

[innerpatrolstudent]

I know right! I brought this up to my dad and he just looked at me like “Ok hon, “

I have to say. There’s really just a huge juxtaposition and surprise that comes from having consumed so much Batman and DC content and than deciding to sit down and rewatch the first Iron and watching Tony just fucking ice people and realizing, oh yeah, Marvel Heroes don’t have qualms over murder, except for Spider-Man.

Damian and Cass HC

HC that they both like honey, like, Cassandra will eat a whole jar of honey, throw up, and then do it again 1-12 business days later if she’s unsupervised. Damian will just, have a bowl of honey with him when he’s crunching on almonds or bread or toast. For Cassandra it’s a little bit of sweetness—HC that she likes odd flavor combinations because she had that tasteless protein mush in the bunker, and then whatever she could eat on the streets. For Damian it’s a taste of home, because Nanda Parbat had bees and beekeepers who would gladly let a little child wander around the hive so long as he was quiet and careful and didn’t harm the bees.

Okay so Uncle Ben died right in front of Peter, he got shot…

do ya’ll know how terrifying it is to see a dead body? Peter saw a dead body of someone he loved…

so yeah

Remember Kids

If you’re doing something hard, just remember that somewhere out there, someone else is trying to learn the bullshittery that is English.

[innerpatrolstudent]

I don’t know why, but

I had a weird dream a while back where Gaalee happened and Shinki was raised in Konoha for some reason and he was neighbors with the Uchihas so Sarada would go next door and they would make glass. Shinki would mess with the sand and Sarada would heat it up and they made castles and birds together. So um yeah…

Fic Ideas

Sooo, I’m not dead, and I had two-ish fic ideas. One is a fic of what if the Drakes come into town and realize that their child has sort of joined another family while they were gone and another is just a compilation of Cassandra offering to break her sibling’s thumbs so that they can learn how to dislocate them and get out of handcuffs easier.

Go ahead and make me cry, why don’t you

When Dick was a kid and couldn’t open jars cause his hands were too small or he wasn’t strong enough he’d give it to Bruce to open cause he’s Batman so he’ll obviously be able to open a jar

( yes Alfred also can but Dick will take any excuse to bother Bruce, and Alfred encourages this cause it’s funny when Bruce’s work gets disturbed by the kid wanting peanut butter)

So it becomes a habit and years later, when Dick is very much an adult he still makes Bruce open jars for him, like yeah he could open it but why would he if his dads there that’s his job not Dicks

[innerpatrolstudent]

this is hilarious and I don’t know why but I might write a fic about it later

Batkids calling Bruce "mom" when he's being Batman

They started doing it to mess with Bruce and the other rouges at first but then it spiraled

They still call him B of course but also call him a various versions of the word mom

Dick calls him mom, mamă, mother dearest (when he wants something)

Jason used to call him mom alot when he was still Robin but stopped after his ressurection, after he reconciles with Bruce he calls him mom sometimes to mess with him and to have the joy of confusing his goons

Tim calls him mostly B but will call him mom every once in a while when he's tired enough

Barbara doesn't call him mom, for obvious reasons but will jokingly call him a mama bat when he's being overprotective of any of his kids

Stephanie, like Tim mostly calls him B but will call him mother when she wants something from him or is sassing him

Cass mostly calls him mama, sometimes mom or Mǔqīn and very rarely mother

Damian variates in calling him father, baba and mother after some convincing from his siblings

Duke, like Barbara, doesn't call him mom or any variation of the word but will use that title against others like "stop that or i'm telling your mom" type of thing

Bruce will never admit it but being called mom by his kids give him immense joy for no apparent reason, he knows that they started doing it as a way of messing with him but he will take whatever he can get

All the rouges, police officers and every civilain is confused about the way the batkids adress Batman because in their eyes? Batman is a man, or maybe he's not? The youngest Robin does call him father. Or maybe Batman is a being beyond gender? They will never know

Just started reading “Never Satisfied” and this gives me LIFE and I love Lucy and I’m on chapter 6 but I love them so much.

A Peter Parker Thing

I think the thing about Peter Parker is that he needs a little bit of sweetness. Sweetness keeps him from making bad choices and letting his guilt turn him into a bad person and/or make mistakes. In every AU where Aunt May dies instead of Uncle Ben, guess what? Peter turns into a jerk and doesn’t know how to fix things. Every time Peter doesn’t have an MJ he doesn’t know what to do—this is not to say that he needs an MJ, because she is her own person. This is to say that Peter Parker needs a lot more sweetness in his life or else he gets into a funk. He’s mainly guilt-motivated and he just, stays guilty. But being given the opportunity to help people, and getting helped in return helps him be a better person—if you piss him off or otherwise act like a brat, he has been known to actually be petty but ultimately do the “right” thing. So yeah <3

Sunrise on the Reaping (no spoilers)

So you know how Haymitch and them be eating raw potatoes randomly , like, has the author actually eaten raw potatoes? Because raw potatoes really taste bad. Or has she assumed that the people of the districts are so used to bad food or starvation that they’re not picky?

In Naruto…

Is the ninja mission board just like, shinobi Craigslist?

[innerpatrolstudent]

I always think of that one time…

So you know how the Joker was being his absolute fuckface mcbastard self, and tried to marry Babs in exchange for her mom’s safety? I forgot when it happened, but I always think of how James (psychotic little brother) just came in there with some grenades (one was live, one was fake) and the Joker was just like “Damn, now I want both of em’”, like. I don’t even know if it was to be funny or if the Joker is just being himself. Either way, I don’t know why but this keeps me up at night. I think it’s ‘cause he only ever explicitly expresses any kind of interest in like, Harley, Batman (not Bruce), and Barbara. Also Anarky is technically Joker’s son. And the interest is dubious at best.

[innerpatrolstudent]

I just realized

All of the bats just had some sort of enabler in their life when they got their murder-y/vigilante phase. Like, most of the adults just let them do whatever and teach them how to fight. (It’s more complicated than that but still)
