#Remote Connection

[notrobinsomethingworse]

Since I work at a power station now, new headcanon that the Bats use Gothams Power station as a makeshift jungle gym.

Dicks climbing around without a grapple scaring the fuck outa Bruce when he flips himself off the top turbine hall and barely catching himself on one of the railings.

Tim, Staph and Cass are playing a complicated game of hide and seek/ tag. Trying to minimise the use of their grapples to not destroy the place. Cass is winning by a margin. She’s now just trying to scare the shit outa both of them.

Damian is checking all the nests scattered around the site. Scattering feed and fixing nests that have been destroyed. (Much to the dismay of every operator who just wants them gone. Unfortunately for them, the last engineer who kicked a nest had both his legs broken shortly afterwards. Everybody knew who did it. Nobody wants to talk about it).

Both Duke and Jason have graduated form understanding how the plant works and instead are arguing about how to make it better/fun things to do. Topics include: using leftover heat to heat homes in crime alley, including some sort of gas capture system, making shit hotter, and opening the turbine to “watch it spin nothing will happen B shut the fuck up”.

The Ring of Felagund/The Ring of Barahir

I confess that (despite mostly enjoying the films) I hold onto several longstanding and extremely petty beefs with Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy. And, surprising no one, my pettiest and fiercest grudge is their design for the Ring of Barahir.

I think (besides the One Ring) it's the most clearly described piece of jewelry in the legendarium:

two serpents with emerald eyes, one upholding, one devouring a crown of golden flowers

And yet! When you look at the film's design, there is a) no crown of golden flowers, b) the serpents do not seem to be either upholding or devouring anything, but kind of just chilling there, and c) the serpents do not have emerald eyes, but rather a single, giant emerald that's plopped in the middle, presumably in place of the golden crown.

It's a lovely ring! But it's not the ring Finrod gave to Barahir.

Anyway, all that to say I finally caved and drew the one that has lived in my head for 24 years. Please clap.

one thing I absolutely love about the mentalist (among the many things or just about everything really) is how Jane's constantly smiling at people

you don't see him be usually grumpy and arrogant like most Sherlock based characters out there, he kinda exudes so much warmth despite all the things he's been through and I get it, his previous profession required that he emulate this fake friendliness and kindness just to seem more believable and thus make more money, but as we watch him (after he's left all of that behind him) his kindness seems genuine and beautiful to look at.

he's literally such a sunshine, I love his smile so much.

Just randomly remembered that I too am from a town where a lot of people got sick and died because they worked with a dangerous substance but had no knowledge of its dangers and so no safety measures but the rich people that were profiting off of their labor did know about it and didn't tell the workers because they didn't want to stop making money until it finally came to light when people started dropping dead or getting really sick and all of them worked in the factories and now there's a museum in honor of the victims and work safety seminars to elementary school children. And now I'm psychoanalysing why Law is my favorite character

So, wait, mnemosurgery addiction is an addiction to performing mnemosurgery? I've heard of it before but i always assumed bots got addicted to receiving it

I have absolutely never considered that omg

Yeah!! Typically in canon, a mnemosurgery addiction is the mnemosurgeon's addiction to performing it, to the point it kills many (this was a big part of Chromedome's character and one of the things we knew early with him) because there's a bit of inherent risk with mnemosurgery (something about the process of linking minds together like that). The Fatal Injection is talked about a decent bit, and we very nearly see this happen to Chromedome when he's doing it with Dominus / The Pet in the end of MTMTE (this big whole thing)

But the idea of a character being addicted to receiving mnemosurgery??? Fascinating. Fascinating fascinating dynamics and scenes there. Especially considering mnemosurgery's history in idwg1, and it's connection with the autobots. Giving me ideas.

i need to actually remember for my writing that my main hc for why Childe is Like That is that he saw something real and true just once in his life and has been chasing that high ever since despite it being a massively traumatizing experience

kind of like a very weird Lovecraft protagonist

[mysticalnightenthusiast]

I'm genuinely GENUINELY devestated. Daniel Ricciardo has given so much to Formula One and his 'family' did THIS to him! FUCK Red Bull, FUCK VCARB, FUCK Christian Horner, FUCK Helmut Marko, FUCK Laurent Mekkies and FUCK Liam Lawson!

He deserved donuts in front of the crowd and a proper goodbye.

Basic human decency doesn't exist anymore!

lark is caeru's older brother!* since caeru is married to the scoundrel, this makes lark their brother-in-law. if when lark marries poor edward, he'll also be their brother-in-law. and also because the scoundrel is mr cards, they're simultaneously legally poor edward's boss.

aren't family trees beautiful?

*by approximately 7 years. because canon-typical number motifs.

I have finished two books in the last twenty-four hours that ended with a mentor-turned-villain sacrificing themselves in a last-minute heel-face turn and two characters trading identities so that someone who should've died could live, and this kinda feels like a two nickles situation except I can't make it concise enough for the meme.

I do want to say, to the gamers, I would get a steam deck or ps portal like... right now if you really want to do handheld gaming before prices go up. Sometimes, the deck has pop up sales of refurbished editions of the steam deck but it seems to be at random but that might be worth saving up for if you don't want to pull the trigger rn.

And if you want to buy games, dekudeals will alert you to current sales and will show you historic prices of games (physical AND digital) for the Switch, PS4, and PS5. Isthereanydeal will show you historic prices of PC games and lists prices on steam, fanatical, the epic game store, etc.

Obviously, this shouldn't be a priority with a recession on the horizon... I'm just saying if you were saving up for the Switch 2 and want to redircet those funds while enjoying the same hobby... well..

here's a hot take for today

the narrative function of sex is the same as the narrative function of fight scenes is the same as the narrative function of songs in a musical

no i will not explain
