Embrace the entropy

Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system

[teaboot]

(Average Metropolis reader after investigative reporter C. Kent's 452nd article on yet another case of landlords/business owners/factories' continued use of lead pipes/paint/gas/glass knowingly exposing the public to dangerously toxic lead levels) what the fuck happened to this guy

[teaboot]

One day Bruce Wayne mentions in an interview that heroes like Superman are overrated, as the most effective way to reduce crime is to provide public resources and improve local infrastructure, then cites how neighboring city Metropolis has effectively lowered their violent crime by 13% after addressing their outdated water system and investing low income housing. the reporter conducting the interview suddenly starts looking a little uncomfortable

[teaboot]

To be clear, Clark is still a fantastic investigative reporter. He still has to track down the sources to prove all this shit

[teaboot]

"Who, Clark Kent? Yeah, we're pretty sure he's a Meta. Is he a superhero? Like what, "Lead-detector guy"? "Captain pipes?" Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and it's a handy trick, but it's lead detection, not laser vision. He's not about to go running around in tights any time soon."

I just love the idea of a cape maintaining their secret identity by pretending to be a completely different and less impressive kind of parahuman.

[roach-works]

everyone assumes that kent is so squirrely around superheros because he’s just desperately hoping not to be conscripted to the JLA to fix their plumbing

Local Metropolis Reporter Publically Recognized For Contributions To The City; Awarded Medal Of Distinction

[championofdnd]

They tried to get superman to present the medal but he was offended at being called "overrated" in comparison to Clark so he declined

[teaboot]

Counter offer: Bruce Wayne disguised as Superman

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Your partner came back from the dead after being missing for decades. Every one of their friends who they went with ended up dying a horrible death.

Now, somehow, their entire mental health is based on the continued life and happiness of this fairground goldfish that they picked up.

Neither of you know the first thing about how to care for even a healthy fish. This fish has been poorly cared for, has multiple diseases and the person who handed it over explicitly didn't expect it to live nearly as long as it already has.

You're frantically googling how to set up a fish tank, where to buy fish food, can you even take a fish to the vet? Your partner wants you to know that they're happy they made it home and survived their horrific ordeal, but also that if anything happens to the fish then they're going to kill everyone on this planet and then themself.

You're honestly wondering if you're even helping the fish, or just prolonging its suffering, but your partner will only accept medical help for their many injuries or engage in basic self-care once they're confident that the fish is being looked after.

So you get a tank. You set up a filter and all that stuff. You learn way more than you ever wanted to know about water temperature and ph and nitrate levels. The fish is safe. You start to develop some affection for the little guy. Your partner begins to recover. The fish begins to recover.

Which is when you learn that in its 'healthy' state, the fish regularly refuses to sleep when tired, keeps begging for food that is obviously unhealthy for it (and struggling to eat the food that you do provide because “it tastes gross”), and continually tries to persuade your partner to take it out of its nice safe tank so it can go explore the wonderful world of Outside, where the slightest mishap will kill it instantly.

Your name is Adrian, and you kind of wants to strangle this fucking fish, statement.

Ryland Grace, seconds before losing consciousness: did--did you just reference Parks and Rec

[frog-on-top-of-a-log]

I love imagining that every eridian welcome committee comic takes place in the same universe and that grace just never said anything about it.

He doesn’t call them out on it cause that might mean that they will actually research phrases more and second guess themselves a lot. And that would mean the cards would stop. Which would be a shame.

But like this he gets a fun little puzzle every week or so where he tries to guess what the committee is trying to say this time. He can rate the cards on funniness and clarity!

I’d like to think that he explains what a lot of them sound like towards the end of his life after having received thousands of cards filled with innuendos and catcalling. The committee doesn’t emotionally recover for the rest of their lives.

[justcakethanks]

I imagine Grace gets a few that he can't figure out at all and he constantly toys with asking the ewc to explain but that would risk alerting them to the fact that they make mistakes which would ruin everything.

Did some more Project Hail Mary AU sketches, since I wanted to sketch another Treasure Planet AU sketch, and I realized I didn't do a Titan A.E. drawing

[rockrockgrace]

Do you think Eridians have some sort of 'rock skipping' sport, where the ones with flatter carapace shoot themselves across a lake and and the ones that go the farthest/have the best form win? Kind of like human diving competitions, but horizontal??

@forestglade YOU'RE A GENIUS YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT

(It's one of Grace's favourite Eridian Sports!)

“Oh yes,” the jetii says grimly. “I have to admire Mandalorians; you’ll kriff anything that doesn’t kill you properly the first time around. Highly resilient warrior philosophy, genetic code like a patchwork quilt; you have Neti genes, Jango Fett! They are sentient plants! They should not be capable of breeding with humans! They grow from seeds!” His voice rises. “I’m going to have to request Master T’raa Saa’s medical records! I am going to have Seire find whichever of your ancestors had the brilliant idea of breeding with a Force-Sensitive tree and then I am going to strangle them!” “They’re centuries dead already,” Jango feels obliged to point out, wondering if he hit his head recently and didn’t notice. He’s part tree?! “All things are possible in the Force,” the jetii snaps. “Most of them are highly inadvisable, as your genome indicates, but still possible. Seire’s good at finding people; if I tell them I need to shake a long-dead Mandalorian by the neck until I feel better about near-human Force-Sensitives potentially sprouting leaves, then they will find me the correct long-dead Mandalorian.” “Force sensitive?” Vau asks sharply. The jetii waves a hand sharply: “Neti.” “So in short: Fett’s ancestry is wild even by our standards, the kaminii are third-rate hacks with no understanding of how genes actually work and you want backup for when you decide to decapitate the lot of them,” Mij summarises. “Fair enough; I’m in.” “I am a surgeon,” the jetii says huffily, subsiding into something vaguely adjacent to calm, “I do not decapitate people; I have Seire for that.” “Of course,” Mij agrees cheerfully, grabbing his helmet, “but you came to get me, so stab wounds and blasterfire is what you’ll be getting. Coming, Jango?” Jango rolls his eyes but does grab his helmet. “Then again,” the jetii grumbles, “the Neti genes might explain why you agreed to be cloned twenty million times over. That right there? That is vegetative propagation, and it is definitely plant thinking.”

-- One Audit is All It Takes, Chapter 3, Umei no Mai

This is the best thing I've read all week, and I've read a lot of things this week.

[cinnamonsera]

Since I’m rereading this fic, I thought I’d bring back one of my favorite Umei passages.

“Then again,” the jetii grumbles, “the Neti genes might explain why you agreed to be cloned twenty million times over. That right there? That is vegetative propagation, and it is definitely plant thinking.”

this scene and esp the last line have never stopped going round and round in my brain ever since I first read it

every time I think of jango doing anything I’m like yeah but he’s part plant, so…

I love your "they ring the same bells for weddings and funerals" tag bc I work as a bell-ringer at one of the few churches in my city where you still have to ring the bell manually. and we do ring the same bell whether it's a wedding or a funeral! but ☝️ we also ring it if the local sports team wins at sports (the secret third thing that is neither a wedding nor a funeral)

the three universal human experiences: love, death, and sports
