dont piss me off. next time you go on a trip im filling your house with galapagos finches. by the time you return, they've evolved to fill your niche. they're a better spouse to your partner. they're a better parent for your child. and? they're a better friend to me than you ever were.

Obsessed with the fact that Cyclops refuses to call him by his chosen mutant name. Glob and Kid Omega, Cyke just really has it out for that class in particular 😂

AHHHHH OW YEOWWCGH. AOUGH OUCHIE

I started drawing Dick with his mom and dad taking care of baby Dick after a nightmare... than it kind of went from there.

I imagined they had this big blanket his Mary treasured, but one day, Dick accidentally ripped it. So she cut off the damaged piece, fixed the edges, embroidered it, and turned it into a mini version just for him.

That got me thinking about how confusing everything must’ve been after his parents died, and how much must’ve been lost. I mean, I’m sure Bruce, Alfred, or even Haly’s Circus tried to return his parents’ belongings to him, but realistically, it’s hard to believe nothing got lost in all that chaos.

So… cue the angst.

I gotta reblog this every time it appears, it’s a tradition at this point

i love gambit bc when people ask him what’s wrong he’s just like “Ain’t nothin wrong with gambit.” and then the text boxes on the side would be like “gambit all alone in this world. gambit ain’t neva gone be loved.”

These two are by far my favorite siblings ever, they are just so silly and I know they interact a good amount in 97 but I want to see them interact more

New ongoing fic alert‼️

Unhinged mutant road trip with three X-Men at each others’ throats, anyone?

Ok but can we have a moratorium on ppl writing about 1) Bruce Wayne 2) Dick Grayson and 3) Tim Drake until they’ve read even one measly DC comic?? Just one, I beg of you 😭😭😭

I’ll read over 200 comics about a character and still be like “hm idk if I know enough yet to write a fic about them, what if I get something wrong?” Girl please go sit down and write, half the fandom hasn’t even read one comic.

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn

“What’s worse yall, ableism or racism??”

^not making fun of the poll, this is in response to the people minimizing the ableism in the replies bc wtf. You don’t need to sweep ableism under the rug in order to say racism is evil.

i say this in all seriousness, a great way to resist the broad cultural shift of devaluing curiosity and critical thinking is to play my favorite game, Hey What Is That Thing

you play it while walking around with friends and if you see something and don't know what it is or wonder why its there, you stop and point and say Hey What Is That Thing. and everyone speculates about it. googling it is allowed but preferably after spending several minutes guessing or asking a passerby about it

weird structures, ambiguous signs, unfamiliar car modifications, anything that you can't immediately understand its function. eight times out of ten, someone in the group actually knows, and now you know!

a few examples from me and my friends the past few weeks: "why is there a piece of plywood sticking out of that pond in a way that looks intentional?" (its a ramp so squirrels that fall in to the pond can climb out) • "my boss keeps insisting i take a vacation of nine days or more, thats so specific" (you work at a bank, banks make employees take vacation in long chunks so if youre stealing or committing fraud, itll be more obvious) • "why does this brick wall have random wooden blocks in it" (theres actually several reasons why this could be but we asked and it was so you could nail stuff to the wall) • "most of these old factories we drive past have tinted windows, was that just for style?" (fun fact the factory owners realized that blue light keeps people awake, much like screen light does now, so they tinted the windows blue to keep workers alert and make them work longer hours)

been playing this game for a long time and ive learned (and taught) a fuckton about zoning laws, local history, utilities (did you know you can just go to your local water treatment plant and ask for a tour and if they have a spare intern theyll just give you a tour!!!) and a whole lot of fun trivia. and now suddenly you're paying more attention when youre walking around, thinking about the reasons behind every design choice in the place you live that used to just be background noise. and it fuckin rules.
