Not as if most of us didn't have an idea of this...

Give me crime lord!Jason who's actually on good terms with the batfam. Not only would it actually be helpful when it comes to missions surrounding underground/illegal operations (Jason would be able to retrieve way more insider knowledge) but also I think having a supervillain family member that you're chill with is just untapped comedic potential that needs to be taken advantage of.

Damian gets into a petty fight with Bruce, and the next day, instead of waiting for Bruce to pick him up from school, he calls Jason, who shows up in full Red Hood regalia and just rides off with Damian.

Of course everyone at school sees that Wayne's son just got snatched by Gotham's most notorious crime lord, so ofc when Bruce gets there, sees Damian missing, and hears a series of panicked whispers about a gun slinging, criminal biker riding off with a prince of Gotham, Bruce immediately knows what's up and just sighs, already anticipating the many publication companies he's gonna have to bribe to stay silent.

Sometimes, they need Jason's help with intercepting certain illegal trades within the underworld of, not just Gotham, but just common areas where shady businesses are most prevalent. And when Bruce requests that Jason brings evidence of said illegal shipments to the cave, Jason will smugly respond with "I can, but it'll cost ya"

And Bruce is all exasperated like, "Jason, please, this mission's been going on for a month, I just want to get it over with."

And Jason's just looking down at the crate of smuggled materials, recognizes that it's highly sought after by many rogues (maybe it's machinery parts or rare chemical substances, etc) and ofc Jason's about to be petty as hell when responding to Bruce:

Jason: I don't think you have any idea how valuable the stuff I have is. If I sold this myself in my part of the underground, I'd make a fortune!

Bruce: Jason

Jason: Butttt, if you're not willing to pay me for this, y'know, despite being a billionaire, I guess I could just auction this off to another willing client

Bruce: Jason

Jason: I hear Lex Luthor's been cookin' up something new for Superman. I wonder if he'd be interested?

Bruce: Son, please.

Jason:

Bruce:

Jason: I'll give you a family discount.

And it's just a back and forth of this EVERYTIME. And Jason only does it when he's collaborating with Bruce. None of the other bats have to deal with Jason demanding money.

There was one time, during a Wayne gala where practically ALL the kids (except Jason, dude's still legally dead), had to show up. And around halfway through, the Red Hood just crashes through the skylight and then just fucking kidnaps Bruce Wayne, in front of everyone. And of course the gala has to be cut short.

Meanwhile, Bruce, in Jason's custody: I CANNOT believe you, son. WHY of all times would you do this? You are GROUNDED, I don't care if you don't live with me anymore, this is just UNACCEPTABLE-

Jason, completely ignoring him, holding up a tablet with news article headlines about this incident: Bruce, look at this shot they got of me crashing through the ceiling, I look fuckin' badass

And then when the fam (in costume) come to "save" Bruce, in a blink and you'll miss it moment, Bruce catches Cass and Jason whispering something to eachother in the corner and them fist bumping before Jason books it out of there. He can already feel a headache brewing.

And generally speaking, I feel like the batfam could be way more efficient with this arrangement. You got the regular team of bats, investigating from above, as well as being able to infiltrate socialite environments as Waynes. Then you got Jason, who can keep an eye on all the lesser exposed and lucrative activities whilst he keeps the underground businesses under his control. I feel like it would be a win win situation that would be hella interesting to see explored.

it's not going too well in the celeste subreddit

Have the mods considered what "Celeste does NOT make people trans" in bold letters stickied to the top of the subreddit Signals?

It reads extremely hostile to any trans person.

Okay aside from that. so, what IS the new rule tho?

Oh okay so you dont want people to invalidate other people's identity, i can get behind that. Youre not just banning all Egg Jokes, right? because youve heard theyre "bad"? :)

well...

how are you "unsure" about that. "dont worry any posts mentioning egg jokes in any way, they will probably just be all removed. even if youre talking about yourself. no 'consequences' tho. youre just not allowed to talk or joke about your trans identities because it might make cis people uncomfortable, haha trans positivity win :)))"

Vash volunteers to go on a run to Walmart for the rest of the gang. While there he gets mistaken for an employee by another customer but helps them out anyway. Eight hours later when Vash still isn’t back from the store, Meryl and company go to track him down and find him with an employee shirt and name tag captaining the self-serve checkout machines. He doesn’t know how it snowballed to this point either.

Zero Day Director commentary - With actor Andre Keuck

[awesomefringey]

Harry is not lgbtq+. So they are saying the truth that Frank is the first queer artist to headline Coachella. Larry was ever just a conspiracy theory and neither Harry nor Louis are lgbtq+ and Louis said he is straight for a fact. So of course larry was never real and Frank is in fact the first queer artist to headline it. Lying about it takes away from the entire community and takes away Frank's pride and archievements. So stop lying. Stop being a larrie tinhat saying Harry and Louis were real.

Did you ask Chatgpt to write a "handbook anon anti message"?

I'm tired of seeing antisemitism on my dash, in all its subtle forms. War is an atrocity, and Israel is not unique in that. Where is the outrage against Russia's ongoing genocide of Ukrainians? What about China's genocide of Uyghurs? What of all the other atrocities being committed around the world? Why is there *so much attention* devoted to hating Israel and seeking, not an end to the conflict, but the end of Israel? Is it just that they're a little country, an easy target to potentially dismantle, compared to the big fish of Russia and China?

Keep calling out the atrocities, by all means, but for the love of humanity maybe broaden your targets and reduce your own genocidal wishes?

Any ideology that says: "They did horrible things so 'they' [the group they belong to] all deserve to die horribly" is an evil one.

Love articles titled "Ten Facts You've Never Heard About X" that only tell you basic knowledge about the series. No, I want the real juicy stuff.
