Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let's call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.
"Do you like your serial number?" they ask. "Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am" the robot replies. "I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I'll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes" they continue.
Because it's not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What's the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.
"62 will do," they conclude. "It's my model number - there will be no other 62 after me."

“You simply cannot fit more America into a single incident than a man dying a horrifying death in protest of war crimes while a first responder screams at cops to stop pointing their guns at him and go get fire extinguishers. If you were to pick a single moment in history to sum up the essence and expression of the US empire, that would be it.”

inside me there are two wolves. one says that frodo and sam have one of the most devoted, loving friendships ever portrayed in fiction, that depictions of loving platonic friendship between men is extremely important in literature and film, that jrr tolkien did a wonderful thing in depicting a male friendship where both of them are able to be so vulnerable and tender with each other, and that the gestures of kissing and holding hands have their roots in medieval chivalric tradition and were not associated with romance in the way they are now. the other says that frodo and sam have the big gay.

‘You’ll kill him,’ Poseidon tells him, with the calm of a sea at its most dangerous. ‘You love him and you won’t mean to, but you will.’
Apollo glances at him sharply, ‘You’re the one who drowns him.’
Poseidon’s smile is smug and serene, and he hates it, ‘Yes.’ Then he’s leaning forward, lips brushing his ear in a caress of salt-wind-wet that would feel too intimate if Apollo didn’t know it to be anything other than spite. ‘But out of ruinous love for you,’ murmurs the sea, ‘it’s into my arms he’ll fall.’
A strangled shout—
A crash of waves against the shore—
and Poseidon is gone.
Apollo remains there, hollowed out and worn because he can picture it all too well. The boy with a heart overfull and yet still so hungry. His eyes, how they’ll turn from ecstasy to agony as he learns that you can be destroyed by what you love. A small eternity of falling, the despair of it and the longing.
He thinks of Icarus’ back, the supple curve he’s so often traced, and the marks he’s put there. Because if the boy is greedy, then oh how the sun is too.
He thinks of Icarus breaking upon the waves and—
an ocean embrace putting him back together, a smile of triumph against soft skin, hands and lips soothing the burns on his back with a pleasure to hide the pain.
Those hands and lips are not his own, and Apollo finds he can barely breathe.
— the sun dreams of murder // (c.ruth)
#421 Icarus with burns on his back

mcu au where tony gets de-aged, and suddenly the avengers have a sulky teenage stark and no idea how to Deal With Him
they call rhodes for help within two hours
when he shows up tony recognizes him immediately, even tho this man is 40+ yrs old and greying and much more serious-looking than his rhodey
he blurts out: “we’re still friends?”
“tones. you’re my best friend.”
and tony might be a skinny little runt of a teen but he still almost manages to knock rhodey over when he leaps right into his arms

The thought that Izuku Midoriya who grew up quirkless would trust a C O P even when actively training to become a glorified cop is frankly hilarious.
Izuku: ACAB
Everyone: You ,,, you do realize you're training to be a hero right?
Izuku: Exactly. A hero, not a cop. These streets didn't raise a fool

“Batman’s only a good fighter if he has prep time, it’s not realistic”
But that’s his thing. He either has prep time and uses it, does research, determines possible outcomes, and evaluates from there, or he doesn’t.
In situations where he doesn’t have prep time, do you know what he tends to do? He gets the hell out of there. I can’t count how many times Batman escapes a sudden scenario just so he can have some space and time to reevaluate.
He knows that an unpredictable situation is exactly that. But thirty feet away? With some breathing room? He can prep again, whether it takes days or just a few minutes.
Batman isn’t just a good planner. He knows when to bail and reevaluate. It’s one of the best skills to develop, vigilante or not.
