[Mrs. Roberts receives a call from her son's school on her wireless phone. She is standing with a cup of hot coffee or tea (shown with a small line above the cup) facing a small round three-legged table to the right. The voice of the caller is indicated to come from the phone with a zigzag line.] Voice over the phone: Hi, This is your son's school. We're having some computer trouble.

[In this frame-less panel Mrs. Roberts has put the cup down on the table turned facing out.] Mrs. Roberts: Oh, dear – did he break something? Voice over the phone: In a way –

[Mrs. Roberts is now drinking from the cup again looking right. The table is not shown.] Voice over the phone: Did you really name your son Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;-- ? Mrs. Roberts: Oh, yes. Little Bobby Tables, we call him.

[Mrs. Roberts holds the cup down.] Voice over the phone: Well, we've lost this year's student records. I hope you're happy. Mrs. Roberts: And I hope you've learned to sanitize your database inputs.

if the agrestes weren't rich i think that gabriel would be the normal one. like gabe's problem is that he stopped running into natural limits due to absurd wealth and his obsessive nature led him to develop some kind of god complex where he won't accept that anything is out of his control. I think that if gabe was broke again and just simply couldn't afford to go on an international goose chase for ancient magic artifacts of untold power, if he had to work a 9-5 to live and couldn't just disappear into his basement lair to commit domestic terrorism and say evil monologues to himself, then he would be way more normal. he'd just be some guy. he might even let himself have a mowhawk again. but I think that emilie would be way LESS normal if they weren't rich. like emilie needs so many people to be obsessed with her so much all the time in order for her to function. and gabe would still have his toxic codependent obsession with her, sure, but that wouldn't be nearly enough. emilie has to be at the center of the world's spotlight at all times because she doesn't know how to exist if she's not performing. anyway all this to say I am so certain that if the agrestes were not disgustingly wealthy, emilie agreste would one million percent be running a massive family vlogger youtube channel

The idea that Light gets his slyness from Sachiko becomes even better if you imagine that he also inherited the criminal record from her.

Your pick for the crimes she committed (murder, theft, elaborate heists etc.), but imagine that the one in charge of the investigation was Soichiro. All charges are eventually dropped due to a lack of evidence and she "retires" from that life as she and Soichiro can't stay from one another.

So, when Soichiro sees L & Light practically obsessed the entire investigation, he's getting anxious and perturbed for entirely different reasons.

I do not understand why people put their following numbers on other websites in their description. they've got like significantly less fans on one site than another so they throw in their bio "300k on tiktok" like... oookay? and?

The fact that most European companies treat their non-European employees like shit- despite the fact that Western Europeans enjoy the highest level of workers' rights in the world- just because they can get away with it in the United States or whatever is proof why regulations are needed.

European workers are only treated better than their American counterparts because there are laws protecting them, not because European corporations are so much more humanitarian than American companies. Never forget that under capitalism companies will exploit you for all you're worth and all they can legally get away with.

Hiiiii! I was the one who asked about Henry and I want to say I LOVED the analysis. Also the mention of Eileen also made me thing how her and Henry's interactions show despite not knowing each other to well, you really sense their bond and care for one another. Also how Eileen is just such a KIND character to others even causing Young Walter to prevent his older self from killing her.

I’MMMMM so unwell about henry and eileen, especially with them together…!! even before they directly interact, it’s fascinating how they take notice of each other (eileen being one of the few people who remembers henry in passing + picks up on how he’s been missing for awhile, while henry sees her through the peephole and hole that reaches her apartment, both of which are when he's trying to make contact with the outside world), and in spite of contrasts on the surface like how outgoing they are, they both share the same core traits of humanity and altruism caring for others <:’’’)

i love how they get along very well and work together to understand the situation and figure out how to deal with it, especially given how they're now "properly" meeting and getting to know each other for the first time;; they're very cautious yet sweet with each other, and i also really appreciate how you note eileen's kind like henry too! henry generally keeps to himself offering help if/when the situation arises to jump to, while eileen's less reticent personality has her more outgoing and dedicated to going out of her way to express and continue providing sympathy, i think.

with her trying to understand the mystery, she expresses sympathy for young walter wanting to essentially give him peace and put him at rest even in spite of learning the truth of who he is, and she's gone out of her way to be kind like to giving a doll when she was young,, which has also ironically doomed her in the start, giving it to walter led to him latching onto her and exploit that kindness now intending to make her the mother reborn. both henry and eileen's kindness more often than not get them hurt and have their efforts unappreciated,, and yet they still persist.

they're both so lucky to have each other's backs in sh4 as they survive and can thrive together, henry and eileen compliment and support each other so well...!! there's so much i could keep talking about w them (either individually or together) but yeah, they're both so caring and it really shows with how secure they feel and gel with each other, the bond is so strong and easy to root for and wish the best for them

Is it wrong that I don’t want to kill all landlords as part of the revolution? I’m probably a little biased though, because my mother is a landlord as a side gig to her working as a nurse. All I know is that when I inherit the property, I’ll either sell it or mismanage it by “mistake” Kirei style. I simultaneously hate the responsibility and hate landlords.

But also I think that landlords should have their properties confiscated (excluding the property that they actually live in) forcefully.

Don't worry anon, you don't have to kill her

We'll do it for you! :)

rewatching severance s2 and in e1 mark w. talks about how his branch got shut down which reminds me of how in the finale the MDR department that we know was set to be shut down once cold harbour was completed . which to me at least implies that mark w. and gwendolyn y.'s department had a similar cold harbour-esque situation that in their case was finished bc why else would their whole department have been shut down

i have a new default conversation starter which is kind of reddit but always gets heated and it’s: You are dropped 200 ish years into the past (you can choose any year in the 18th or 19th century, as well as location) with your current knowledge. all you have with you is whatever you have on your body right now. how do you survive/make the most of your foreknowledge (limited to what you know at this very moment). also you cant kill yourself. Let me know your most optimized/fun solution just in case this actually happens to me

The people have spoken!! Mighty Mouse lore drop under the cut! Very 5th grader core but it means a lot to me. Hope you enjoy!

The original Mighty Mouse, MJ Fierro, was a young soldier in the eighties who volunteered to be a super soldier experiment. She was granted heightened strength, agility, constitution, and senses - but her powers were deemed too unstable for the field, so they simply abandoned her. With her new powers and no help from the government, she decided to help her community of La Puente, anonymously thwarting injustice. She gained the local name "Mighty Mouse" because of her stature, but refused any accolade. After ten years of fighting, she left crimefighting behind her to start a family.

Fast forward 25 years, and MJs body is starting to deteriorate. A devastating cancer has formed, possibly caused by the experiments done to her. She passes away before 50, leaving behind 3 children.

The youngest of these children, Marcel Montgomery, starts to experience changes at the age of 18. Weird things are happening - they don't know their own strength, their senses are becoming overwhelming, and their clumsiness suddenly leads to no injury. After investigation, it seems the mutated DNA from their mother was passed down to them alone, activated at the same age their mother recieved her powers.

Marcel idolized their mother and took all of her lessons on heroism to heart. They decide that with great power comes great responsibility, and with the help of their friends, they take up the legacy of Mighty Mouse. They are bad at it. They lack coordination and any skill, and they start to worry their powers might attract undue attention to their family. They need someone to teach them.

Marcel strikes out on their own to the most super-crime infested city in the world - Gotham. Jumps right into the deep end. Alone, they start their search for Batman. He just seems like the mentoring type - I mean, how many robins are there at this point?

During a scarecrow attack, Batman encounters the new hero trying to get help. They get civilians to safety, but he warns them to stay away from the source. Sorrounded by scarecrow gas, Batman is in a vulnerable position - and Mighty goes in any way. Affected by the gas, Mighty starts to panic, momentarily distracting scarecrow and allowing Batman to neutralize him. He takes Mighty back to the cave for inspection after hearing their fears of not being able to protect their loved ones, and failing their mother.

At the cave, Batman insists Mighty is in over their head. They know that, that's why they're here. Mighty begs Batman to take them under his wing, just wanting to do right by the world and their mother.

"I just want to be like you. I want to be like her."

Batman knows the feeling.

And thus Mighty Mouse is the new sidekick in gotham! Posing as a personal assistant to Bruce Wayne, and also just being a personal assistant to Bruce Wayne, Mighty Mouse is born.
