people neverrrrr give daisuke enough credit for actually literally being dark's whole ass braincell during a heist. the manga doesn't have enough actual heisting to showcase the fact, but in the drama cds and LNs both it's always always dark who gets into a pinch during his heist and then daisuke who figures something out to get them out of it. heck it's even daisuke who immediately, instinctively starts plotting and figuring out how complex mechanisms and sensors work even while he's trying to GIVE UP THIEVING?? dai can be emotionally dense at times since so much of his self-opinion is fogged and clogged up by his insecurities but if anybody thinks he's useless or god forbid actually totally dumb im whamming them over the head
[after akinari very suspiciously and conspicuously kept his bag away from katsuya and ran off in a hurry]
katsuya: tatsuya i'm worried about your son. he was acting suspicious and seemed very protective of whatever was in his bag... i'm worried he might be doing drugs.
tatsuya, knowing damn well akinari has a real live cat in there and is definitely not on drugs: ... that's probably it. i'll talk to him.
Obama, Clinton & Bush speaking about Haiti disaster relief, right before they stole all of it.
Bush: "The most effective way for Americans to help the people of Haiti, is to send money. That money will go to organizations on that ground who will be able to effectively spend it." "I know a lot of people wanna send blankets or water, just send your cash. One of the things the President and I will do, is make sure your money is spent wisely."
And then, they stole it.
Crooks. All of [Them]
How do you feel about hearing this in today's time, especially given what you know about Haiti's missing children, missing money, the Clinton Foundation & the Clinton's VERY close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell? 🤔
I was reading the part of the DMD story where Y/N gets a new hat and had a fun thought: What if Y/N bought cool but cheap pants, wore them to the mall, and then they tore. Y/N would be all cussing out the salesgirl that convinced them to buy it, and Sun is just like, "No worries, Doll, I gotcha." Also, Moon would be laughing at Y/N. I just sorta daydreamed this 'cause I thought it was funny.
I can guarantee that Sun wouldn't react kindly to anyone treating the sale's staff (from his mall or otherwise) with disrespect. While the mall was still running he had a habit of neatly kicking out anyone who stirred up unnecessary fuss. Moon, too — though less politely.
He'd still get you a new pair of pants first and foremost, because he's not a monster, but you'd have to hear him scolding you for bad manners the whole time!
Ironically, a similar scenario to this (wherein y/n's clothes are damaged and they require new ones from the mall) does end up happening in this next chapter lol
as a huge batjokes shipper i want batman and joker to hate each other in the sense they dont really hate each other, they just have really different goals and see their own version of potential in the other and right now hate is the best word for their situationship. they both love the other for what they could be but neither of them wants to be what the other one wants, and that's equally as frustrating as it is necessary for them to keep existing in their current roles. they're deadlocked and that fate surrounding each other is kind of the point -- we both have to be like this, the opposite of what the other wants, for us to keep existing at all, and for giving me that gift i both love and hate you. it's an agreement. i think the hate that's there now is born from an intense underlying love.
i think batman "hates" joker for being so amazing and smart and cunning, for being able to create grand gestures and schemes, to pull people together under his charisma and make them all believe in something, for being as extraordinary as he is but batman hates that he uses it to hurt people. he hates that joker can't channel his energy into doing something good for the world, that he hurts himself and others just because he wants to be batman's greatest enemy. i think batman wants to help joker but also hates him at this point for joker exhausting him, constantly getting hurt both emotionally and physically by him, joker never trying to improve his situation, throwing away other people's lives, showing batman he loves him by lashing out and hurting him. batman hates joker because he loves his rogues, he wants to help them, and he knows they can do better. he wants to live in a gotham that doesn't need batman but he still needs to be needed, because when there's no batman, what is bruce going to be? without joker, he will continue being batman, but it's an empty crusade. some of my favorite interactions between harvey and bruce are the ones where harvey thanks bruce for "always being there for me, never giving up on me, my very best friend." even with someone like harvey, bruce can still hold onto that hope for his rogues, never give up on them, keep going for them, even if it puts them through the cycle one more time.
i think joker hates batman in the most toxic way possible, but it's still love. i just think he's selfish and doesn't want batman to think about anyone else but him, the same way he operates for batman, but if he must think about other people then joker will make it as amazing as possible! i think he hates batman for wasting his time on ordinary people, people who are so boring that batman claims he has to protect and serve and love them but joker thinks it's all surface-level. batman won't kill joker but he'll leave room for people dying in his crusade. it's a choice he allows, and even if joker knows that's a morally fucked up way to put someone in a box, he doesn't care. batman is the type of person to train himself mentally and physically for decades and dress up in a half-silly-half-menacing costume so that everyone can have an idea about him. batman himself is not normal, and joker knows that and loves that! why is he wasting his time trying to save people that use him, abuse him, don't want him to be the best he can be? i think joker's motivations for loving batman and lashing out as if he hates him lie somewhere in between extreme admiration -- like i truly believe in your cause and that you're the right person to do it, but i'm so angry at you for wasting your time on other people and i'm so hurt and jealous that you choose them over me, just so you can be a hypocrite and let them die if i want them to anyways -- and anger at his hypocrisy -- like it's easy for joker to dedicate himself to chaos and just being in batman's life by putting batman in situations that force him to be a better and better hero, but how can batman sit there and choose and pick what morals he'll uphold and who gets to live and who gets to die?
i want to be your greatest enemy because you are the greatest hero ever, and the only way you and i can keep being the best at what we do is if we do it together, because of what we both believe in.
u approach the niwa gates and there are two guards one has a tendency to lie to himself and everyone around him and one generally tells the truth and trust me the one that's usually telling the truth is purple and the liar is red.
