Thinking about Cassandra being one of Babs preferred fake identities, most likely due to the Oracle connection. Thinking about her giving Cass her name. Bruce can adopt Cass and add Wayne to the end, but Cassandra will always be Oracle's kid too. The connection is right there in the name.

“To me, the core of that attraction is that she is a better reporter than he is. Think about being Superman for a second. The Olympic record for weightlifting is 1,038 lbs., but you could lift more than that as a child. The record for the 100 meter dash is 9.58 seconds, but you can travel over 51 miles in that time. Going to Vegas? You don’t need your X-Ray vision to win at Blackjack, because you can just count the cards while holding down a conversation about nuclear physics. Without really trying, you are better at just about everything than anyone else in the world. However, (as Mark Waid once pointed out in a podcast with Marv Wolfman) none of that really translates to your chosen profession. Typing really fast does not help your prose. Being able to lift a tank does not help you convince a source to go on record. It is as near to competing straight up with normal people as Superman would ever be capable of. Even then, it comes easily enough to him that you get a pretty lofty perch at a great paper very early in your career. It is just in this one context, there is someone better than you are: Lois Lane. As mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent, you reach up for the first time in your life and she rejects you. To me, it is an inversion of the Luthor story. Luthor sees someone above him and feels hate. Superman sees someone above him and feels love.”

Round 5
Most in Need of a Hug Bracket
Who is Most in Need of a Hug?

Propaganda below the cut
Homura:
She was an orphan who spent most of her early life in the hospital due to a heart condition, growing into an awkward and lonely girl. She was finally allowed to enrolled at school at age 13, where she found it very difficult to socialize due to her isolated upbringing.
It all changed, however, when she was saved from a witch by two magical girls who also turned out to be fellow classmates of hers, Madoka and Mami.
Homura fell in love with Madoka, however, she ended up watching her and Mami tragically die in the hands of a witch. Now, In the Madoka Magica universe, young girls are given the chance to become magical girls by a strange being called Kyubey, in exchanged for a wish, and since Homura had been undecided up until that point on whether or not to be a magical girl, she decided to become one, in exchange for getting a chance to save Madoka.
She was thus, given the power of time manipulation, returning to the past to save Madoka. However, despite her many attempts to do so, Madoka and her friends always ended up meeting a tragic fate, and Homura has been stuck for years in a loophole trying to save her friends from dying…or becoming witches themselves…for you see…that is the catch of the magical contract. Every Magical Girl Will One Day Become A Witch, as they have basically sold their own souls.
Madoka eventually puts an end to this cycle, by wishing to erase all witches before they are born, taking the souls of the girls into a sort of heaven. But the weight of her wish ended up making her a goddess, relegating her to be nothing more than a concept, the concept of The Law Of Cycles, erased from the minds of the mortal realm.
Homura was allowed by Madoka to retain her memories of their time with together, and resigned herself to keep her only in memories until her own death…
That was until the Kyubey kidnapped her in order to lure The Law Of Cycles and control her. Turning Homura into a witch in the process. A creature who only feels despair. Most witches, in their bitterness, want to destroy others, but Homura in witch form still wanted nothing more than to end herself, a punishment for her failure to save Madoka.
Eventually, through a series of events, Homura’s love turns her into the devil instead, pulling Madoka from the heavens, erasing her memory, and creating a reality of her own…all just to make Madoka happy. Without ever expecting her to find out.
Frodo:
So even before the journey to destroy the Ring, Frodo loses his parents in a boating accident, goes from Buckland to Hobbiton/Bag End in a short amount of time, and is considered odd and a bit of an outcast by his fellow hobbits. Then we get into the actual journey, where he loses/gets separated from everyone except Sam, has to deal with both physical and mental attacks- physical from those who want the Ring for themselves, and mental from the Ring eating away at his sense of self the whole way- and finally succumbs to the Ring at the end after a long, hard fight. Ultimately, the only way for the day to be saved is by complete accident- Gollum STRAIGHT UP BITING FRODO'S FINGER OFF TO GET THE RING BACK, and falling in the lava afterwards. And while Frodo does survive (much to his surprise) he's too hurt and traumatized to go back to the way things were before, becoming even more of an outcast in his own home, and the only way to heal is for him to leave Middle Earth, never to return. How can you not feel bad for him?

Monarchism is a really funny political ideology. "I wish I was governed by a nepo baby. Things would be so much better if I was governed by a nepo baby"

"If you're not american, why do you even care-"
US-based company YouTube just nuked the government funded channel for HIV prevention in Germany. The channel is purely educational and had no prior (or current) violations.
Assuming you guys get elections again; if I see a single person telling non-US-americans to stay out of it, it's on sight.
(german source) As of writing, the channel has been reinstated due to public backlash, but is missing several videos.

Cassandra Cain is probably the only member of the Bat Family who would still be a superhero without Batman. Literally nothing of her origin is remotely related to him. He gave her the costume, that’s it.
like thank god bruce found the kids before they went unchecked and became villains. he saw them and was like "yeah these kids need me or else theyll go down the wrong path. they need to be leashed."
