[oldeubagel]

Did you know? There was once supposed to be a Tfrb episode where doc greene made a artificial womb to transplant it on graham, and he actually got pregnant and gave birth on the episode too. Unfortunately that episode never got out of the storyboard phase and only this 3 panels have been lost

Everybody warns you about the Outer Wilds spoilers, but nobody warns you about the "I'm not going to make a Hearthian OC" to "I have eight pages of alternate endings written out for my hatchling" pipeline

Can I gush about a detail that's in SM:OG? I know its really obvious, but I just want to point it out none-the-less, it's so good.

SPOILERS. GO READ OCTOPUS GIRL IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY. ITS SO GOOD! I also recommend reading Doctor Octopus: Year One.

It's the fact Mary Alice's face is obscured in Otto's memories due to his overwhelming guilt over what happened before the accident, and how he wasn't able to save her in time when she was dying years later.

It's only when Otto finally takes Otoha's advice, treasuring his memory of Mary instead of clinging on to that guilt...

...we get to see her face.

Do You Know This (non-canon) Autistic Character?

Propaganda:

- Squandered his family fortune in narrow-minded pursuit of his special interest.

- Speaks in long scientific words without noticing if others aren't following.

- Unironically refers to a high school dance as a "rhythmic ceremonial ritual."

- Very bad at appearing relaxed and unsuspicious when attempting to keep a secret or lie his way out of something, but then, he also NEVER appears relaxed when trying to talk to people.

- Feels the need to apologise for not building models to exact scale.

- His best (only?) friend is a teenager (decades younger than him) who's mostly interested in his souped up electronics.

- He eventually marries a schoolteacher who's the first woman he's met who's actually interested in his own scientific interests.

okay so i was thinking of a joke earlier about how in DPDC Amity Park's slogan "a great place to live" is not only city propaganda but also the city lording it over the rest of America for being normal. But then I remembered that, despite how many DCU Cities with heroes in it there are, the amount of cities in America without heroes still far outnumber the amount of cities in America WITH heroes.

So I did a little digging so the joke would still land. Something most heroes have in common is that they operate in major cities. What makes a major city? I found that the general consensus is that the population is roughly over or around a million. THEN I looked up the populations of cities in the DCU that I thought of off the top of my head. So Gotham, Metropolis, Starling City, Central City, Jump City. All of them ranked up to millions in population (most of them were in the tens of millions).

Amity Park's wikipedia describes it as being similar to specifically Philadelphia, Chicago, and San Francisco.

Philadelphia's Population: 1.576 million as of 2021 Chicago's Population: 2.697 million as of 2021 San Francisco: 815,201 as of 2021

Whiiich means that Amity Park if we take that from canon, is probably a major city. There are approximately 19,000 cities in America with probably less than a hundred that are major cities. Adding the DCU major cities wouldn't skew the data too much.

Which MEANS that I can make the joke that Amity Park's "great place to live" is not only just typical city propaganda, but also its Amity Park lording it over the other major cities for being one of the only major cities that doesn't have problems bad enough to warrant a superhero or a vigilante. Cue stage left the Fentons and Phantom :)

Amity Parkers were probably SO proud that they didn't need a superhero. They didn't have to worry about things like 'world ending threats' and 'super-powered individuals' and 'staggering property damage'. And then enter Fentons.

It also could be used as an excuse for why nobody took notice to Amity Park getting ghosts if folks like me aren't huge fans of the notion of a media blackout via Tucker, Technus, or the US Government. Or if you want to keep Amity Park as its urban city self. Amity Park's news on ghosts gets drowned out in a week because there's news on more popular, well-known cities going on every other day. The shit going on in Amity Park is every other major city's regular Tuesday and it gets filtered as such.

I am going insane

So since Transformers : Prime was the first Transformers series I completed (technically speaking), it holds a special place in my heart despite the relatively short time I've been in this fandom compared to most people. And like all the previous fandoms I've been in, I thought; why not contribute something?

Introducing... whatever brainrot my brain has produced for a series about transforming alien car robots.

Feel free to read, to whoever bothers to in the first place lol. Hope my brainrot is an acceptable sacrifice for this fandom.

Ok ok i found the Anchor Bay 2007 release of

RE-ANIMATOR (1985)

[th3-c0ll3ct3r]

Docm77 as well as MANY other have fallen face first into this media-related ragebait and I'm here to explain why you shouldn't be mad at Doc/be upset but not "wish ill things on your child" upset, which yes. I did see. Shame on you person. Shame.

Ahem.

So upon waking up in the UK/Europe, we didn't necessarily have the build up to the presidential election due to timezone conflictions, so for many people (myself include) 6am to 9am we woke up to Trumps victory speech on the trending tab. I'm not joking, that's how people going out and how I found out

There have been a mixed bag of reaction but Doc is getting hate for saying, and I quote "Lol... Really USA? This is what I wake up to?"

Alot of people say this was insensitive, and excuse my language and I don't mean to upset, it's because they're Americans and (again apologies) Americans have been socialised into to being quite emotional about politics and read into everything that happens regarding it. Which is something that the rest of the world kinda looks down on America for, because it makes you look like 'cultist' (this isn't my viewpoint however we do discuss this alot in certain class and this is how other people see you)

Doc's reaction is not trying being insensitive, because to literally anyone else it's a reaction of speechlessness and confusion. Which the majority of people saw it as.

Because we all woke up to that.

Doc isn't trying to be insensitive, but I do understand why people think he's being insensitive, his confusion and speechlessness is being written off as dismissive.

People are saying the word 'lol' is worth cursing at his family over

1. That's not tolerated here. Don't be sending threats or harassing him.

2. Lol, has cultural differences in meaning.

In the US countries, it means 'haha funny!' or it can be a dismissive reply (in text format)

But in other countries, lol, is also used as a 'your joking right?' or 'pretty funny joke'. An example being 'lol what?' (funny joke, but what does it mean)

Many people think the lol is dismissive but it's not. He, along with many other actually didn't believe Trump had won yet and learnt about it in the worst way possible

Secondily he made a comment about dealing with "another 4 years of insanity" which people also thought was rude.

But sadly, it's actually true to alot of people outside the US. We only see the "funny" or mildly annoying bits of your media (because of filters and blockers) and sadly, I'll admit we don't know the full picture other than the Americans insanity over politics

It's literally what your known for in the UK.

So the '4 years of insanity' is definitely an exaggeration but is definitely true in some way. We get the bud of all the "Americans drama" and it's mostly the insane stuff, heck that's how flordia man and ohio became memes. So it's not unrealistic for us to see the next year's as insanity because it is. Just very dramatised

Also quick point, people are saying that because of this he doesn't support the LGBTQIA+ and to that I say; Rendog + his entire fanbase respectfully

Now the big boy issue. Doc said he won't talk about politics and Palestine yet talked about politics now? Why?

Why didn't Doc talk about Palestine?

And for similar reasons as to why alot of other people didn't talk about it, including myself. Not out of fear or something. It's because of the scams.

Being "late" to new media is frustrating especially when it comes to supporting people, and genuinely by the time I heard about Palestine I saw the scams first.

Doc HAS a younger audience demographic, who are more likely to get scammed because they do look very realistic and they even have fake followers and everything.

Why not get one from a reliable source? Well what is a reliable source? Because if something goes wrong people will blame you because you endorsed them.

Why not go to charities? Sadly their are now currently many scummy charities that do take alot of the donation percentage. (including some gofundme pages)

So to address this, Doc just didn't address it. And YES he admittedly should have explained why, instead of leaving it up to people to infer because as we can see, some people took it the wrong way. And I can see how they took it the wrong way, he didn't communicate it very well.

But to me and many others, the intentions were clear and that's why their were no comments made. However I do believe he shouldn't have used the excuse about not wanting to talk about politics, because that does have consequences long-term. And that why I'm here today

And this brings me to my final point.

People are forcing opinions out of other people and when their opinions don't aline they get mad about it. So to avoid this people either refuse to comment or have their own methods of tackling it or simply blurt it out because of pressure.

A modern example of this would be Kim. K and her son (ik shocking). Her son talked about supporting Trump and she got mad about it, told him to take down the videos and allegedly made him sign a contract saying to never make a video about politics.

Kim. K is actively avoiding being pressured into speaking by not responding and keeping it in.

However, another example of this would be Vivziepop. Due to recent events regarding her shows being leaked and the recent elections that damaged the integrity of women's rights and healthcare, she broke down on twitter.

Letting some of her frustrations spill out. This was encouraged by people personal targeting her, and basically harassing her to the point of breaking down.

These same types of people are trying to do the same to people like Aismey, Doc and even Jimmy Solidaritygaming because of thier social media presence, and when they have a reaction but then change their opinion it's suddenly a "well you didn't say that before!"

So to be clear, the circumstances of Docm77 is brought upon by miscommunication and ragebaiting. Dont go and threaten his family, voice your concerns respectfully in this troubling time (even if you're frustrated, you should project that onto someone else)

IF YOU SEE ANYONE RAGEBAITING REPORT IT

And have a good night ya'll

if we wanna compare the waynes to the kardashians then i think steph is the token scott disick of the family.

post-breakup with tim she has no business remaining so socially intertwined with the family, as far as the general public knows. however she's stayed so connected to them that she's an honorary member at this point.

she probably gets comments online saying that she's 'leeching' off them, or trying to weasel her way into their successes. ppl would get over it after a while though and just accept that she's there for the long run.

while i'm at it i also think she's the only one who would have non-professional social media accounts. she definitely attracts the love of the internet's 'wayne boy fans' because her accounts are the closest they get to a window into the wayne's private lives.

whether that's steph doing dances on tiktok with tim and duke, or convincing bruce to lip-sync a total of 3 words for a video that sends the internet crazy. she goes completely viral on the off occasion she gets jason to make a cameo because he keeps his personal life just about as private as his nighttime activities.
