Tim: [to Steph] I wasn’t really a believer in “love at first sight”… until I met you.

Tim: Although, to be honest, it wasn’t really “love at first sight” so much as it was “love at first brick”.

The most unrealistic thing in the DC universe is that no civilian has killed the Joker yet. He's not a meta and he's not a practically skilled fighter. Sometimes he doesn't even have a gang or is carrying a gun. He's literally just a guy. Hit him with your car.

if u make clark kent say soda you are grossly mischaracterizing him and i wont stand for it

[loveydoveykirk]

the real reason no one thinks clark is superman is bc they’re all east coasters who constantly mock clark’s usage of “pop” so they never connect mr. “soda” superman to mr. clark “pop” kent

I am so fucking sick of DC fanon making women exclusively mature and Wise and So Much Smarter Than The Dumb Boys god fucking FORBID a woman show a sliver of personality that isn't being Better than the Men. God forbid Diana fucks up and isn't the Wise Woman of the JL or Jessica is irrational or Stephanie is immature or Carol is mean or Selina is impulsive or Cassie childish or Artemis is rude you people beg for more stories about women but clutch your pearls when it's not about them being Girlbosses and God Look at How Dumb The Boys Are Aren’t Women So Much Better For Not Doing That.

I get really offended when people tell me I'm going to Hell for being gay, because I feel like they're overlooking all the perfectly valid reasons I'm going to Hell.

Cullen: Now can I panic? Barbara: Officially, as your mentor, I’m supposed to say no. But yes, I would probably panic.

Duke: You don't think I'm a geek? Stephanie: Of course not. Duke: You think I'm cool? Stephanie: Of course not.

Barbara: We've got a problem. Dick: I feel like we should make that a copyright phrase.

Bruce: Uh, any other non-stupid questions? Robin!Jason: Is there a health plan? Bruce: Just don't die.

[holy-incorrectquotes-batman]

Jason: You son of a bitch! Damian: What the fuck did you just call my mother?! Jason: I meant Bruce— Damian: Oh, okay, continue please.

Damian: Why do you even talk?

Tim: It's how I voice my displeasure.

Got into a discussion about emergency response at a professional retreat recently and everyone was going on and on about agility, and I was like, "Okay but what about contingency?"

And they were like "What?"

And I was like, "Agility isn't the ultimate form of preparedness. Contingency is. Agility still requires you to flounder and figure out a solution in the moment, but if you have a contingency plan, all you have to do is implement it."

And they were like "But you can't make contingency plans for every situation!"

And I was like, "Yeah, you basically can if you just identify all of your basic dependencies and contingency plan around the loss of any dependency," and then I gave a few examples.

And they all stared at me like I'm an alien.

Anyway, that's how I figured out I'm Batman-coded and also learned how Batman must feel talking to supposedly professional superheroes who never bothered to run disaster scenarios until I pointed out that it's insane that they don't already have a plan for if Superman turns evil.

There’s a phrase that really stuck in my head around this. It was from one of the British divers who enacted the Thai caving rescue, though I couldn’t tell you which one or which interview.

As he described to the interviewer a moment of panic and how he he overcame, the interviewer said, in one of those, summarise-last-answer-given-with-appropriate-levels-of-respect-in-order-to-proceed-to-next-question phrasing’s, “Wow, so you rose to the occasion -“

And the diver said, “No, actually people always get that exactly wrong. In an unexpected and urgent situation you don’t rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your training.”
