cliff marleau causing a cosmic canon event in every universe of accidentally taking hollander out of the playoffs so the admirals win the cup so scott hunter can come out and change hockey forever. and one time he gets high and gets visions of increasingly unusual and goofy ways he accidentally injured hollander knocking the metros out of the playoffs and later wakes up in a cold sweat going “holy shit i’m the reason hockeys gay”

you know, HRT has done wonders for my mental health and the effects have undoubtedly been life-saving, but there are some changes i wish i would have been warned about on the informed consent form. i still would have gone on HRT if i had known in advance, but it would really have been nice to be able to prepare for Inheriting The Blood Curse and being required to Fulfill The Prophecy. i don't even own a sword

How small must the world be for both Bruce and Tim to witness John and Mary Grayson's deaths

Or for 10-year-old Duke to crack the Riddler's puzzle before Batman swoops in and saves the day, long before his powers came into play

Or for Sheila Haywood to leave her son only to end up assisting his killer a decade and a half later

Not to mention the popular fanon concept of Jason knowing baby Damian in the League of Assassins

Now imagine how many other invisible strings could've tied them together

Like what if Tim and Jason went to the same school when Jason was Robin but all they shared was the occasional bump and "excuse me" in the busy halls

Or what if Babs was a tutor and helped an elementary-aged Steph finally understand her homework only for the Browns to cancel after a couple sessions because they couldn't afford it

What if the first person to buy Cass a hot meal was Kate on one of her travels

What if Alfred witnessed young Selina shoplifting groceries but chose to turn a blind eye

What if Jason lived on the same streets as the Row siblings and gave little Harper tips on how to use tools and defend her brother

What if Steph and Duke shared the same school bus, only he sat in the front while she was toward the back

What if the first person to teach Tim how to tie his shoes was Bruce at a gala because Jack and Janet were busy talking to someone important

What if Bette did a DNA test for fun and found a connection in Nanda Parbat but just assumed the results was faulty because she knew her whole family, right?

What if 8-year-old Dick, the day before his parents died, stayed at a cheap hotel near Crime Alley and found 4-year-old Jason wandering alone and said, "I'll be your big brother for tonight"

What if the universe knew they were made for each other and wouldn't rest until they realized it too

At least once in history at SOME point a shark must have gotten sucked into a waterspout and just for that one, brief, glorious moment, sharknado was real

every gamedev company that touts their latest hundred-gigabyte release as a "technical marvel" or a "revolutionary piece of gaming" should be forced to have all its programmers work on making a fun and functional and complete game on hardware from the 90s. make them work on a game under the constraints of a fantasy console like the pico-8 or the tic-80, even. just something that would fall over and die instantly at the mere presence of an rtx-capable gpu.

i think it should be a regular thing, too. make sure they stay humble.

as i was typing this i remembered that a lot of people get into game dev because they're passionate about it, not because they like making games with such massive filesizes that any kind of computer that isn't cutting edge won't have the space for it. in this case i would like to instead propose that we make the stockholders of these companies make a game. make it a mandatory regular renewal thing. if you're gonna be making money off an industry, you should at least have some idea what goes into the industry in question. plus if it's mandatory and it's recurring, stockholders might be able to sway big execs into improving work conditions. sure it'll probably just be motivated by "i refuse to be put through the industrial wringer" but so long as the improvements aren't just for stockholders then i'd still call that a win

any guy can be a babygirl but it takes a man to be a wife

(Spoilers for Project Hail Mary the book) I wish they showed more of something in the movie: Grace's experiments. This guy was out there as soon as he had conscious thought testing the computer that was meant to be testing him. He was out there swinging tape measures around and writing on every available surface including himself. He was so impatient to measure the mass of a sphere he ran off to do his own experiment instead of waiting for more information. He was so patient that he could sit and watch a pendulum swing for ten minutes. This guy woke up and immediately chose science

Low priority but especially now that they don't have like. jobs as a point of attraction it does suck for cishet men that they don't have a good slutty clothing option. If you're masc and want to look hot for queer people you can swing from the boring but successful rolled up sleeves dress shirt through leather all the way to fishnets and bodysuits. This is mostly downstream of like. I look at people's outfits a lot. I like clothes. The boys are often remarkably hot but they can't! Cheat! You need to be able to cheat your aesthetics! You can't be out here relying on pure luck you have to be able to wear something that makes your potential hookup do looney tunes shit.
