Im not enough of an expert to be the one who makes the lore posts about every implication!

Literally think of the children.

The next time anyone tries to put sexual allegory, symbolism, metaphor, or subtext on the novel "Dracula", remember that Dracula brought an infant to the Weird Sisters to eat, and Lucy was feeding off young children.

Imagine if Hermie were brought back the same but he was all zombie

i hate people who are like "hierarchies are awful and treat people like dirt" but then turn around, watch kdramas, and make those jokes about how easy some kdrama bullies are to take down and how bad the fmcs are for not fighting back and not being badass and "strong".

"oh why doesn't she just get up??? why doesn't she fight back??? why are they such little pussies who won't go against the system" OH I DON'T KNOW THE FUCKING HIERARCHY????

like is emotional strength no longer a thing??? is a bitch not be strong through being able to withstand psychological torment of exclusion and everyone watching her humiliation and still coming out with a somewhat good mindset and a smile??

also, HALF OF THE TIME IT IS FLAT OUT STATED THE BULLIES ARE RICHER. i get it, for some areas (talking about the us because that's the perspective i'm coming from), that doesn't mean shit. but it's not that even. the fmcs are broke as hell. in kdrama logic, hell, real life logic sometimes, they have no power. when you're already broke, you can't do anything to fight back without hurting your family. you have no idea what the rich people will do. maybe they'll sue and you're fucked. maybe they'll use your connections to screw you over. what then??? also like korea has a crazier debt culture than us so like...

man i just think it's weird that sometimes people don't get the implications. you gotta think about the implications.

Do you think that, because hot chocolate boy/Pete was in La dee dah dah day, it means that hatchetfield high was one of the first few places to be infected. And that means Alice was doomed as soon as she got off the bus to Clivesdale

Hey Melissa but it’s Trevor & his Lehman bros

[discountsoysauce]

My returning obsession with the death note musical and my current obsession with the villain series colliding is going to personally murder me

[julia-writes-things]

they... they... the bouncy castle? Lex and Ethan????

what is with Nightmare Time and doing it in the weirdest places. And probably traumatising kids in the future because of all the weird, family friendly places.

Fish are smart and social and have memories and feel pain and people calling them stupid and using that as an excuse to treat them less humanely than other animals makes me so sad :(

For context, a biologist named Culum Brown has been doing fish research for years and has found that they are simply deeply misunderstood because the way they’re adapted to their aquatic environment is different from how terrestrial animals are adapted to land environments. People just see fish doing thing and don’t understand that it’s useful for survival in the deep sea. They don’t bother to observe them enough because of preconceived biases constructed by society’s portrayal of fish and our experiences on land.

(This has connections to the Bible and the hierarchy of animals established in it as well. I don’t think we realize the extent to which Western culture and Christianity have consciously and unconsciously shaped science.)

Despite the widespread and deeply pervasive myth that fish are dumb they actually have been proven to have the ability to remember how to evade traps even years after first learning how to do it and they can observe and learn from other fish and they have cultural transmission and friendships with fish they recognize and I’m going to cry

There’s also very little concern for fish welfare, since they aren’t beloved flagship species like dolphins or whales or seals, and generally they’ve been so poorly understood that people basically think of them as having the same level of sentience as plants. That is NOT TRUE and the conditions fish are subjected to before they die are FUCKING AWFUL and nobody’s out here protesting against that when there have been so many efforts to reduce the suffering of farm animals. Nobody ever really labels a can of tuna “free range’ but they’ll label it “dolphin safe” bc we’ve always cared more about the species that are similar to us.

And! Hot take! Maybe we shouldn’t associate intelligence with value in the first place! That has historically had some pretty awful implications for how we treat other humans based on how they are perceived or presented by people in power!

All this definitely has some sociological ties and implications.

not enough has been said about the fact salazar keeps two chickens and a gold egg in his throne room. whats up with that?

[dominihilist-a]

that one scene from b99 where its like "ground rules are you can stab me, shoot me, you CAN use fire" "those are the ground rules is there anything off limits?" ".... daaaamn man... you got something really sick you wanna do huh? ;)))" is so kafka coded

Dick Grayson's unmatched success as a child vigilante makes a lot more sense when you remember the Court of Owls was a thing and that Dick was meant to be the next Grey Son.

There is no way that someone at Haly's Circus wasn't there keeping an eye on him while he grew up. A future weapon needs to be trained and monitored after all, and a circus, a place where weird skills are completely normal, is actually a great place to secretly train a child.

You know, just some knife tricks that translated really well into actual fighting. How to get out of restraints and pick locks while under a time limit. Death defying acrobatic stunts that coincidentally do wonders for parkouring. That sort of thing. Nothing that seems out of place for a boy growing up around circus performers to learn, but would literally any where else.

I mean, while I fully believe that most kids would want to kill the man responsible for their parents deaths, Dick was weirdly prepared to go through it. He tracked down Zucco with way more ease than any normal child should have too. He became the first child vigilante, for goodness sake. The first Robin! He only started getting formal training after he basically forced Bruce into it!

Bruce himself has no idea that this kind of competency in a child is unusual, considering he was much too blinded by the similarities between his and Dick's tragic orphanhoods.

Alfred is in a similar boat because he’s desensitized to weird children after he somehow managed to successfully raise Bruce 'The Batman' Wayne, so he doesn't clock the hyper-competency as abnormal either.

By the time the other batkids start popping up (Jason 'The Audacity' Todd, borderline-street rat with no fear) (Tim 'the greatest stalker in Gotham history' Drake, child genius, also bullied his way into becoming Robin) (Barbara 'raised by the only uncorrupt cop in gotham' Gordon) (Stephanie 'daddy issues and spite' Brown) (Duke 'Pretends he's the normal one and people believe him' Thomas) it's too late.

It would also explain how Dick got along so well with Damian out of all of them. Similar childhood with different approaches and all that. On some subconscious level, Dick recognises and resonates with the murderous ten year old assassin with strong familial ties to a secret elite assassin organization.

It isn't until after the whole Court of Owls and Grey Son reveal that suddenly Dick realises a whole lot of things about his childhood that suddenly make a lot more sense.
