Hmm, I am looking through endless Ultimania translations to find a bit of information on a Crisis Core scene that will help me finish a post but as usual I became distracted.

(From the Crisis Core guide).

I was thinking about this fusion pod that Hojo lets Zack enter. Hojo can also apparently use it to physically enhance subjects?

Somehow Zack is infused to become stronger and then….

Hmmm.

Too much enhancement leads to degradation for SOLDIERs.

Alas, they all have their limits.

Well. Except one…

“You do not have the ability to copy unto others. Your DNA cannot be spread. Thus your body cannot deteriorate.”

Sephiroth’s cells have no limitations. How proud Hojo must have been, to discover that his first-rate science experiment, could not degrade or reach the limit of his cells.

He could enhance Sephiroth endlessly, making him stronger and stronger. Always superior to Hollander’s experiments. Never reaching a limit to what Project S could endure.

There was no threshold, was there?

The (un-fucking-hinged) conversation that Snow had with Haymitch REALLY puts Peeta’s hijacking (SPECIFICALLY against Katniss) into perspective. Snow could have hijacked him to hate the rebellion, or district 12 or even himself. But no, that old loser just HAD to finally prove to one of those district 12 boys that their girl didn’t really love them, JUST like his didn’t really love him. Was it a smart move to potentially have Peeta attack Katniss on sight? Yes. But more importantly, it allowed Snow to control Peeta in a way that let him live out his own fantasies about being unloved and having power over his girl.

Company Mandated Fancy Fits on the Tulpar 😏

Also had to include the REAL star of the show (and a bonus)

Based off of this and this. Thank you very much joetastic for being inspirational 👍

The REAL reason this is late

Genuinely, and I mean this kindly, but learning to recognize bait and not engaging with it will change your fandom experience.

Continuation of this (and this)

Hopper is sitting in his truck.

He’s parked on the side of the road downtown. He should be finishing the paperwork for the traffic stop he made earlier, but he’s not. Instead, he’s watching all four Hagan boys walking down the street to the movie theater in his sideview mirror.

They’re chattering, laughing and shoving each other. David and Maria’s youngest boy, Tommy, is kicking rocks down the sidewalk. Two of the other boys, Tyler and Travis, are shoving a Melvards bag worth of sweets into their pockets.

It’s wholesome, Hopper thinks considering all those boys give him a goddamn headache.

He only really notices them because draped over the back of the oldest boy, Theo, is Steve Harrington.

He sees the exact moment that Steve recognizes his truck because he starts squirming to be let down. As soon as he is, he runs ahead and right up to Hopper’s open window, “Hi, Mr. Hopper!”

“Steve.”

“Look at my cast!”

Steve waves his arm at him, showing off the cast now decorated with messy child signatures and bad drawings. Steve looks so excited about it, “Mama said that lots of people hafta sign my cast ‘cause it’s ugly with just your name. Look how cool it is!”

Before Hopper can even respond, Steve gives him tonal whiplash by asking in the same breath, “Can you arrest Mama?”

“Why?”

“She thinks I need new wallpaper,” Steve tells him with big serious eyes. “It’s ugly, Mr Hopper.”

“Tough break,” Hopper replies. “Doesn’t warrant an arrest though.”

“But - but a fake one,” Steve insists. “The police arrest people wrong all the time. That’s why Dad’s got a job an’ why I got cool toys an’ a swimmin’ pool. He keeps people outta jail.”

“You arrest Mama and she won’t go to jail for real ‘cause she’ll ‘peal it,” Steve continues. “Then - then Mama goes to court and there’s a judge, and they picks drawers-“

“Jurors.”

“Uh-huh,” Steve nods dismissively, rambling on, “The drawers have an envelope and it says, ‘no way, Jose.’ Then Mama comes home but it’s a long time - law stuff takes a long time - so she - she’ll change her mind about the ugly wallpaper.”

Hopper doesn’t smile, though he is amused when he tells the kid, “Bad wallpaper isn’t a crime, kiddo. Sorry.”

“It’s a crime against me,” Steve pouts. “I hate it.”

That pout might just last forever. Hell, it might just convince Hopper to actually do it (god, does he want to do it), but then a sharp whistle sounds from the entrance of The Hawk.

Theodore Hagan was standing with one of the doors propped open, calling, “Stevie, last one in gets all the burnt popcorn pieces.”

Steve gasps.

He runs off with a faint “Bye, Mr. Hopper” behind him.

Hopper watches Steve dart into the theater, making eye contact with Theo. He gives Hopper some dorky ass salute before disappearing inside too.

Hopper sighs.

Yeah. He’s got to finish this report.

I've been brewing this post for far too long in my drafts, but I need more doomed!Bruce and Jason throughout universes. And it is not even always about the same Jaybin, dying in the warehouse scenarios!

Sometimes Jason is just a kid, who died in front of Batman, who maybe jumped in between Batman and the villain recklessly, to keep him safe, and whose blood stuck under Bruce's nails. His face haunts him in nightmares, still.

In other realities, Bruce meets Jason as a teen, and they never even get to become father and son officially - but they slowly get into each other's lives, until something awful happens, leaving a ghost of a smirking kid stroll behind Bruce's hunched figure for the rest of his life.

Or maybe it is one of these realities, where Jason crawls out of the Alley Crime himself, and manages to become famous in Gotham; the one, where he opens a charity fond, dedicated to people, who fight with the drug addiction. Bruce Wayne is sympathetic of a kid he meets during some of the events, and as they slowly start contacting each other more often, getting closer, he promises himself to protect him. Expect, Batman is late to save Jason Todd from the hands of yet another villain.

It could be the priest Jason Todd that meets bleeding out Batman on the stairs of the church, and who helps him out, for what he later pays with his life. Or they are not really vigilantes in any of these universes - just father and son.

And in some of these universes, they reconcile. In one of them, some of the medics connect the dots that a catatonic boy, who is covered in dirt, calling for his dad, for Bruce is Bruce's Wayne dead son, and try calling him. In another, LoA!Jason with his memory still being in a haze, crosses his path with Batman, before getting dipped in the Lazarus Pit.

But the point stands.

In all of them, Bruce Wayne is too late. In all of them, Bruce Wayne fails to save Jason Todd.

I cannot wait for this Stan to reconnect with his Ford.

I still haven't figured out HOW exactly they'll meet yet, but I do think that Ford would ATTACH himself to Stanley and talk his ears off forever when they eventually get comfortable :] and Stanley would listen because HOLY SHIT, THAT'S HIS BRO HE HASN'T SEEN FOR 40-ISH YEARS, HE MISSED HIS VOICE. Nonstop certified Yapper & Listener relationship <3

Stanley looks dead faced because of his ingrained poker face, but he's thouroughly enjoying it, even if sometimes he has no idea what the fuck Ford is saying. He never interrupts him though, since he knows people usually ignore or interrupt him mid-talk already. So sometimes Stan gets stuck in awkward situations where he has to leave or do stuff, but also doesn't have it in his heart to stop Ford and extract himself out of a (one-sided) conversation.

i do think the "dark age of the law" thing in dual destinies was perhaps the stupidest thing imaginable. why's everyone suddenly freaking out about corruption in the courtroom. do you think manfred von karma got that forty-year win streak out of nowhere. do you think miles edgeworth got HIS win streak out of nowhere. do you think damon gant's control over Fucking Everything came out of nowhere. do you think furio tigre's ability to masquerade as a defense attorney and nobody saying a damn thing about it came out of nowhere. do you think franziska von karma holding up a photograph and being like "i know this picture is illegal but what are you gonna do? Unsee it? <3" came out of nowhere. The three-day "guilty until proven innocent" trial system. The sheer sway prosecutors held over the entirety of the court, up to and including shit like being able to assault the judge and opposing defense attorney with zero consequences + tailoring witness testimony to suit their case and threatening said witnesses if they said anything too revealing. Hello. Can anyone hear me. I'm going nuts

Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.

HE IS SO CUTE !!!!!! i love love LOVE when ppl can do what they love and make success out of it and STILL love what they do like !! cuutee!!!!!

[nerdy-hyperfixations]

My mom (and my sister) said that both baby Stan and Ford are adorable but Ford is cuter and she likes him better and I think my heart is shattered.

This post is dedicated to my favorite kid Stanley panels:

My mom didn’t even like him when I showed the one where he murders those two kids 😭😭😭 that’s the best part!!!

[ominous-horse-noises]

anyway i want to reiterate that i hope the rat grinders are tpk'd, revived and uncorrupted solely bc i want them to have to spend senior year together. 'redeemed' doesnt necessarily mean friendly with the bad kids and honestly? its so much funnier if they continue being bitchy to each other but without the trying to end the world stuff. they've built plenty of positive relationships w/ former villains now it's time for the next stage: uneasy alliance buzzing with the tension of both sides trying to hold back the urge to clown on each other

introducing, fantasy high senior year: the group project
