Baby-Doll Batman: The Animated Series
This is one criminally underrated Batman villain.
SERIOUSLY THOUGH SHE WAS MY FAVORITE BATMAN VILLAIN
Her physical condition didn’t allow her to age
No one took her seriously as an actress
And even when she was trying to get into a happy romantic relationship (albeit with another villain) he still couldn’t take her seriously as a consenting, sexually active and romantically interested adult
That’s a lot of blows to someone’s psyche
and Babydoll is both a sympathetic villain and a formidable one
I remember this episode fucked me up a a kid.
And man, do I wish we could see this Batman again: the Batman that consoles his villains, because the majority (if not all) of them are mentally ill people. And Batman knows this and wants them healthy again, not punished and GOD definitely not dead.
Baby Doll is so underrated as a Batman villain
but her episode was perfect
Batman: The Animated Series The story of one fucked up, traumatized little boy, doing his best to help other fucked up traumatized people.
#this show is the only batcanon that matters to me #dc can burn everything else down but they’ll never pry the dcau from cold dead clawed hands
The Batman that cares about the inmates is my favorite. He doesn’t put up with their shit, but he does try to reach out here and there and he’s as human as he can be to them.
When Harley was re-institutionalized, he got her that dress she wanted.
In the comics based on B:tAS, there was a time during Christmas that there was snow and it was Mr. Freeze’s fault, and he was making it snow because Christmas was his anniversary with Nora and she LOVED it when it snowed on Christmas, so Batman let him finish mourning before calmly taking him back to Arkham.
He never, ever gives up on Harvey possibly recovering.
Sure, Batman is going to throw punches and do what it takes to take these guys down when they’re hurting or threatening people. And he’s not going be a complete bleeding heart; he has to protect the innocent. He’s going to take them down and take them back to Arkham, but it doesn’t mean he’s incapable of being a bit human to the ones who deserve it.
Batman needs become human again
Because it needs to be here:
Remember that time a young girl with near god-like psychic powers threatened to destroy reality and the only one that could stop her was Batman because he had a previous encounter with her and was tasked with killing her to restore reality.
But instead, Batman sat with her on a swing and kept her company as the girl’s psychic powers slowly killed her.
No?
Fuck you people making me emotional
The. Batman.
This is MY Batman, not the murderous fascist they’ve made him into.
This is what superheroes should be. This is why the DC Trinity exists. Superman is keeping the world safe from the calamity that claimed his; Batman is helping other people get over the trauma that took his childhood; Wonder Woman is protecting nations from the warmongering that caused her people to retreat from the entire world for millennia.
Sometimes, it’s good to have a reminder. This is what superheroes are for. They should not be revenge fantasies–they’re stories about how tragedy makes us strong, how we pay forward the kindness we needed. THIS is what inspires me to write: to see more of this in the world.
put it back and lets pretend this never existed
Don’t put it back, its an aggressive invasive species

That’s a lot of nuggets right there
can u imagine going noodlin and this chomps down on you oh my god
Duuuuude!! Catfish grow to the amount of food there is which means the river these guys came from must be plentiful as fuck, or it’s eating the native species. PSA: do NOT catch and release catfish. The fuckers will screw with the rivers ecosystem if they’re not native to the area. These are the sort of size fish that WILL have a go at eating people as well, they will probs chock but yeah. Catfish have little to no sight, since they’re bottom feeders they scout for food mostly using their feelers, and just swallow whatever they think can fit in their mouths. I watch a lot of Jeremy Wades River Monsters when I’m bored. The shit he films is ridiculous and I love it.
Edit: Cat fish are also cannibals if there’s no other food source.
Considering how Catfish fight (we’re talking a showdown to even haul a 10-15 pounder in) that thing would likely pull a grown ass man into the river if the line didn’t snap.

um guys?
canada is currently considering banning imidacloprid, which is apparently “one of the most widely used bee-killing pesticides in the world”. this seems pretty huge, so if you’ve got two seconds, add your name to the list! as of posting this link, they need just over 8,000 more signatures by february 21!
@allthecanadianpolitics
I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE AMERICAN PLEASE REBLOG THIS SO THAT OTHER CANADIAN USERS CAN SEE IT
COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME

Save my invasive spieces that creates econologocal disaster for others species.
What are you talking about
These efforts also aren’t for the benefit of honeybees a species that is very successful under human care but rather for Bumblebees, the most adversely affected by pesticides. Bumblebees are the native ground hive species in America, these cute pudgy guys have been woefully hurt by commercial pesticides draining into the ground, even before one talks about pollinating from affected plants.
The bumblebee and all related species are suffering greatly from commercial pesticides and this is a great way to improve their odds of recovery, so sign up if you’re Canadian and get on the horn in the US so we can make sure our kids also get to enjoy the flying fluff balls.
Most native wild flowers wouldn’t be here without the tireless Bumblebee so plant lots of their favorite mixes and support changes to usage of commercial pesticides. Like using another native species to fend off pests: the ladybug (the red spotted beetles not to be confused with the ladybird or The orange Japanese beetle)
Also, if you’re interested in protecting native bee species, one thing you can do is limit the number of times you mow your lawn, as my bees live in the grass. There’s a great NPR Science Friday podcast on it: https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/beyond-the-hive-the-wonderful-world-of-native-bees/
horse people are weird
what does this mean
horses can see demons
@betterbemeta are you able to translate this? Is it true horses can see netherbeings?? Will we ever know the extent of their powers???
I think I have reblogged this before but I’ll answer it again bc its a fascinating answer I feel and i was more funny than informational last time.
The truth is that horses see what they think are nether beings, I guess. They have a perfect storm of sensory perception that, useful for prey beings, marks false positives on mortal danger all the time. Which is advantageous to a flight-based prey species: running from danger when you’re super fast is much ‘cheaper’ than fighting, so you waste almost nothing from running from a threat that’s not there. Versus, you blow everything if you don’t see a threat that is there.
Horses also have their eyes positioned on the sides of their heads, which gives them an incredible range of peripheral vision almost around their entire body with only a few blind spots you can sneak up on them in. But this comes at the cost of binocular vision; they can only judge distance for things straight ahead of them. Super useful for preventing predators sneaking up from the sides or behind, but useless for recognizing familiar shapes with the precision we can.
Basically we now have a walking couch with anxiety its going to get attacked at any second, that can see almost everything, but mostly only out of the corner of its eye. It has a few blind spots and anything that suddenly appears out of them is terrifying to it. Combine that with that it actually has far superior low-light vision than us, and that its ears can swivel in any directions like radar dishes, and you’ve basically given a nervous wreck a highly accurate but imprecise danger-dar.
To be concise: all horses, even the most chill horses, on some level believe they are living in a survival horror.
This means that you could approach it in a flapping poncho and if it can’t recognize your shape as human, they mistake you for SATAN… or you could pass this one broken down tractor you’ve passed 100 times on a trail ride, but today is the day it will ATTACK… or your horse could feel a horsefly bite from its blind spot and MAMA, I’VE BEEN HIT!!!… or you could both approach a fallen log in the woods but in the low light your horse is going to see the tree rings as THE EYE OF MORDOR.
However, they actually have kind of a cool compensation for this– they are social animals, and instinctively look towards leadership. In the wild or out at pasture, this is their most willful, pushy, decisive leader horse who decides where to go and where it’s safe. But humans often take this role both as riders and on the ground. They are always watching and feeling for human reactions to things. This is why moving in a calm, decisive way and always giving clear commands is key to working with this kind of animal. Confusing commands, screaming, panic, visible distress, and chaos will signal to a horse that you, brave leader are freaked out… so it should freak out too!
On one hand, you’ll get horses that will decide that they are the leader and you are not, so getting them to listen to you can be tough– requiring patience and skill more than force. On the other hand, a good enough rider and a well-trained horse (or a horse with specialized training) can venture into dangerous situations, loud and scary environments, etc. calmly and confidently.
The joke in OP though is that many horses that are bred to be very fast, like thoroughbreds, are also bred and encouraged to be high-energy and highstrung. Making them more anxious and prone to seeing those ‘demons.’ All horses in a sense are going to be your anxious friend, but racehorses and polo ponies and other sport horses can sometimes be your anxious friend that thinks they live in Silent Hill.
Reblogging some horse knowledge for certain people who write fantasy books but know nothing about horses *cough cough*
reblogging for the line “Basically we now have a walking couch with anxiety”.
Also: horses have very limited depth perception. You know that thing where you out your finger on the bridge of your nose and it disappears because it’s behind your field of vision? Now imagine your nose is as long as a horse’s. The blind spot in front of a horse’s nose is huge, four to six feet or so. When a horse jumps, it can’t see the fence, it has to be trained / remember to look for it and remember where it is and how high. They cannot tell if that is a spot of oil or a black hole in the road. It’s probably a black hole. Better avoid it.
Horses can’t see your hand, they smell the treat (and use very sensitive skin/whiskers to feel.) Some horses are garbage at doing this gently, just absolutely awful, but remember - they can’t see what they’re doing.
Horses also have partial color vision - they see horse relevant colors. Blue, yellow and therefore green. No red derived colors. If you want to see an anxious couch have a bad trip, ride it in an arena with alternating sections of purple and yellow seating. Grey grey YELLOW YELLOW HOLY SHIIIIIIIT. Every single horse would walk past the purple seats and go OH MY FUCK at the yellow ones. This is why the bright red (grey) bucket isn’t a problem, but oH my FfffffffffSHIttTTTT do they notice a stray yellow plastic grocery bag.
Last statement here is, instinct tells a horse that anything clinging to your back is going to eat you. That we spend so much effort convincing them otherwise is amazing and in general a testament to the human race’s commitment to Bad Ideas.
Thank u horse science side of tumblr
If you want to see an anxious couch have a bad trip is by far my most fav sentence
You people are mental. Saying the same thing over and over again doesn’t make it true.
You lost. Get over it.
Build a better platform and try again. If you continue to blame everything on Russia you’re just going to keep losing.
I dunno but I detect something sinister in that “make sure this NEVER happens again”
Its shit like that that gives me the heebie jeebies and makes me committed to never letting people like that into power
Because it isn’t about the flaws of a two party system, it isn’t about the electoral college, it isn’t about any of that at days end with these people. What it’s about is that they lost the election plain and simple. For all their shpiel’s about “fascism” and “tyranny” they genuinely believe only the “right kind of people” should be allowed to lead. So doing their best to destabilize the possibility of them ever losing an election would be golden to them. This is only not creepy to the people who think some utopia will be achieved by essentially forcing people who don’t agree with you under your thumb.
