Cedric's Love

I'm a 20 Something fangirl who can't imagine life without Star Trek, Marvel, Doctor Who, Merlin, Harry Potter and all my other fandoms. I ship Stony, BuckyNat, Spirk, Harmony, Johnlock, Merthur and so many other things!

one of the batkids gets dosed with truth serum and they immediately use it to try to get the others in trouble. not the non-drugged batkids using it to their advantage mind you, but the drugged one.

Dick: B i have to tell you something and you have to remember i literally cannot lie. Jason's on drugs. i saw him taking drugs you need to punish him. he's on drugs.

Bruce:

Jason from across the cave, THE most irritated they've ever heard him: I TOOK AN IBUPROFEN YOU FUCKIN' JACKASS.

-

Damian: father, usually i am not a snitch because Jason trained that out of me at the league, but i am under truth serum so i feel i have no choice but to let you know that Timothy is neglecting to tell you about injuries he gets on patrol again, despite your interventions. he clearly has no respect for you and this should be addressed.

Bruce, grave: Tim, is this true?

Tim, immensely confused: wha- NO?!

Bruce: Damian is currently unable to lie to me, Tim. please, be honest.

Damian: he even did it tonight, he does it all the time father.

Tim: what the- WHAT FUCKING-

Tim: *pauses*

Tim, incredulous: yOU MEAN THE FUCKING SPLINTER I GOT FOUR HOURS AGO?!?!

Bruce:

Bruce: ok but you didn't deny the no respect thing.

Tim: no comment.

-

Tim, through the coms: B, i've been dosed with truth serum. also Jason's killing again.

Jason, just accidentally stepped on a snail but loves to disappoint Batman: and i'll fucking do it again, what are you gonna do about it?

I think mostly what young fandom types (and I guess younger people in general) who are very very invested in the idea that “20 is still basically a minor” need to understand is that the feeling of “I’m just a child pretending to be an adult, and everyone else around me is a REAL adult” is DEEPLY universal (and won’t stop, ever, by the way, sorry!) and also is not, like, praxis.

Believe me, I get it, but the self-infantilization needs to stop, especially when you’re trying to engage in conversations about actual children and the harms they can face. Yes, it is scary to wake up and realize you’re 22 and you still feel like you’re 15, but it happens to all of us. You’re an adult. You have to deal with it.

[ruffboi-mags]

Like I'm nearing 40 and I don't feel significantly different as a person than I did at 20, other than being less depressed.

I know I'm different bc i respond in different ways to things now, but there's not a sense of "ah yes I am become adult" that's for fuckin sure. It's normal. It's okay. So stop infantilizing yourselves about it.

[ceekari]

And stop infantilizing others about it, too. Yes, you're realizing at 25 that you still don't feel like an adult, but you cannot use that feeling to let yourself think of people who are younger than you as "even less of an adult than I am" when they are, in fact, adults. And you have to be very, very careful not to let that feeling convince you that it's okay for young adults to have fewer rights.

There's no age at which you magically stop being worried that you're not doing it right or well enough. Every single person alive is the oldest they've ever been and we are ALL winging it. Being scared of getting it wrong doesn't mean that you shouldn't be allowed to get it wrong.

[attackofopportunity]

It is universal, and it doesn't end.

today is the one-year anniversary of Brian Thompson's shooting, so this is a friendly reminder that Luigi Mangione is innocent until proven guilty and that, hot as he may be, he's still Just Some Guy who's life has been ruined over the last year in a high-publicized trial for a crime that he pleaded innocent to

[pinkrangerv]

Also your reminder that:

Faking handwriting is easy, especially if you have time to prepare the 'confession'.

Guns are mass-produced and cannot actually be identified beyond a brand if you only have a bullet.

Facial matching via any kind of LLM or probability calculator is very unlikely to be actually viable.

Planting evidence is really fucking easy.

Fake IDs: also easy if you're a cop, because your department already arrested someone who knows where the good IDs get made.

When someone has a really important reason to think something is true ("If I found the shooter, I'l get paid enough to get out of poverty"), your brain will helpfully provide reasons to think it's true.

The above list is actually the majority of 'evidence' the cops have on Mr. Mangione, so...this ain't actually the shooter anyway. Not unless the responding PD has some new luck superpower and should be banned from Vegas.

Remember: Sir Conan Doyle had a story claiming you could turn humans into apes. Just because it looked cool in Sherlock Holmes doesn't mean handwriting or bullet analysis are actually scientifically valid.

you are not immune to reblogging ai and thinking it’s not ai. you are not the master ai sleuth you think you are

[punksandcannonballers]

I have seen multiple ppl on my dash who frequently share anti-ai posts recently reblog things that I either know from previous experience are ai or set off a flag in my brain and I spend extra time trying to determine and come away pretty convinced it’s ai. I’m not trying to vaguepost but more say like, gang, it’s time to admit not all ai is so obvious and we’re not all super geniuses born with the Human Spark that can tell what’s real and what’s fake

Taylor Swift will go after fans who sing covers of her song son YouTube, artists who make AMVs with her music, and early shops that make merch using her lyrics.

She will go after young artists like Olivia Rodrigo for merely being inspired by her.

She will send a hateful hoard of fans towards actresses whose roles demanded they make a joke about her in-script.

But now Donald Trump has used her music TWICE on TikTok to promote his own dictatorship (the newest in which he declares the USA is an empire that belongs to him), and Taylor has nothing to say.

This isn’t just cowardice, it’s support. Because we know by now that Taylor does not tolerate her music being used in any capacity that she doesn’t approve of.

If anyone has been on the fence about her recent actions, please let this be your wake-up call. It’s time to leave her behind. Separate yourself from this fascist regime that she’s funneling millions of dollars into, do it once and for all. This woman is complicit with MAGA.

“I’ve never heard silence quite this loud.” And I don’t even mean Taylor at this point. I mean you.

saying ao3 needs to censor certain content is like saying a museum can't have still life art that includes strawberries because you don't like them.

these are not real strawberries. you do not have to, and in fact cannot, eat them. no one with a strawberry allergy will be harmed by looking at them. no migrant workers were exploited in the picking of these strawberries. there were no questionable farming practices or negative environmental impacts from growing or transporting them.

because - and i cannot stress this enough - they are not real strawberries.

if you don't like strawberries, you don't have to look at the paintings. in fact, you can get a map of the museum that lists what works are in what rooms and just. not go in there. if you see one by mistake, you can look away. just keep walking. there's plenty of other stuff to see.

yes, real strawberries can cause real quantifiable harm to real people.

but again. these are not real strawberries.

you may have whatever feelings you like about strawberries, and so can i. you can draw and write about whatever fruit floats your boat, and so can i, even if that happens to be strawberries. and we can hang our art side by side in the same gallery, provided you understand that my strawberries are not about you (and your kumquats are, shocker, not about me) and that - and this is true - neither are real.

and when the fascists break down the doors and grab all the strawberry paintings and heap them in the street and set them on fire, please know that they are coming for your kumquats next.

so if you want a place where you can show off your beautiful kumquat art safely, you're gonna have to tolerate having some strawberries in the next room.

and that's okay. because the strawberries aren't real.

Very well put.
