Down among his nerve-cells and fibres the molecules are counting [experience], registering and storing it up.

-- William James, Principles of Psychology

"Das Verhalten des Traumgedächtnisses ist sicherlich höchst bedeutsam für jede Theorie des Gedächtnisses überhaupt. Es lehrt, daß „Nichts, was wir geistig einmal besessen, ganz und gar verloren gehen kann" (Scholz, S. 34). Oder, wie Delboeuf es ausdrückt, „que toute impression même la plus insignifiante, laisse une trace inaltérable, indéfiniment susceptible de reparaître au jour", ein Schluß, zu welchem so viele andere, pathologische Erscheinungen des Seelenlebens gleichfalls drängen."

-- Freud, Die Traumdeutung

ME WHEN I MIX MY TWO FAVORITE PIECES OF MEDIAA

I know the IDF have lost their marbles and gotten crazy arrogant, but I’m starting to wonder how even they can justify this on any level:

Wait, so Hamas are now lurking in cemeteries? And they are letting IDF soldiers post about this on social media. South Africa preparing its case right now:

The more I see my media telling me to mourn, the angrier I get.

I never knew this woman. The only personal impact she had on my life was when one of her relatives died or married, I would get a day off school. I never knew Elizabeth, I knew the Queen. The Queen who wore a crown coated in diamonds stolen from other countries, a crown drenched in the blood her family collected over lifetimes of imperialism.

I should not be told to mourn a 96 year old woman who lived a life of obsene wealth and experience and died surrounded by loved ones, aided by the best healthcare in the world.

The crown disgusts me and anyone who wears it is not someone I mourn. The Queen and her family earnt none of their influence, they earnt none of my respect, and I do not mourn them

Jeopardy, except all the clues are sourced from those Tumblr posts where people are trying to crowdsource the title of this piece of media they saw/heard/read/played once when they were eight years old and have only a handful of oddly specific details they’re certain about, at least half of which are outlandishly misremembered.

In the universe of the film, there is ABSOLUTELY a contingent of fans that fervently ship Argylle/Wyatt and have the dominant ship on AO3 and trade elaborate fan theories about their hidden relationship and are convinced they’re meant to be endgame but the publishers won’t allow it. Of course, they go totally BALLISTIC when they learn they’re based on the author and her boyfriend.

We love Bruce's tragic ignorance of Sheila's role in Jason's death.

We love Jason never telling another soul what Sheila did, because he loves her, because he's grateful she showed him compassion as soon as it didn't cost her anything, because nobody needs to know.

We need to go further.

Jason's last act as Robin got an innocent woman killed. His own mother, a doctor who should've lived many more years making the world a better place.

Poor Doctor Haywood might've survived being forced to work for the Joker, but Jason dragged her into a dangerous confrontation instead.

It's obvious what happened: Jason was trying to show off. He wanted to impress his mother by revealing himself as Robin and taking down the Joker. Treating everything like a game, never considering the consequences.

And despite losing everything to his recklessness, Sheila still used her dying breath to praise him. It's a tragedy that such a sweet woman dedicated her life to caring for others, but her own son doomed her with his carelessness.

but all might's characterization drawing so much strength from mother figures. his victory pose, his laugh, from his earliest memories with his mother. learning to smile and be strong from nana. thinking of nana in his worst moments and gaining strength- i thought of her as my own mother, being formed as a person by nana's life and death. i dont know why hori specifically chose to make the seventh holder a woman (shigaraki's story would have worked if nana was male) but i love that toshinori yagi is a mama's boy.

so much of the media i love has cool male mentors or emphasises fathers, male mentors, or if women are a source of drive or inspiration they exist in that capacity as lovers; but to have an Incredibly Powerful male hero that goes "yes, i derive all my strength from my mother-figure mentor" is so dear to me. his earliest memories of his happy childhood featuring his biological mother.

"I don't think there can be a 'paper of record.' The term implies an omniscient chronicler of events, an arbiter that perfectly captures the significance and import of a day in our lives. I don't work at that place. I work at a newspaper that exists in a world where there are constraints of time, resources, and knowledge." -- John Geddes, managing editor of the New York Times

Middle of the night thought that I may extrapolate on much, much later: The next iteration of Leo always has something about them that the previous iteration wanted or was denied of.
