Let's face it, if Slade had gotten his head out of his *ss in the Beware the Batman finale, a hypothetical second season would have had the funniest family dynamic in the world with Alfred forced to put up with not one, not two, but THREE problem children who would back each other up through the worst things just to annoy him because of his absolutely terrible parenting style.

Freedom at last. On AO3. Benn Shanks fic. I just leave this here for your enjoyment

Oh, thanks you so much, anon! ❤️ I will recover on all the cool stuff that's been released on Shanks lately as soon as possible, especially considering the latest juicy chapters of OP. Unfortunately I've had a lot of things to do and haven't even posted anything in a while. Anyway it made me chuckle knowing that I now have the stamp like Melinda apples: I'm one of the people you can safely talk to about Shanks basically. Yes, absolutely, you can send me all your thoughts on the topics I usually post about because I love to chat about things we love like Shanks, Bruce and etc, ahahahahah. 😂

It all fell down

«During dinner, Hilde tried to act like a grateful daughter celebrating her birthday, but the whole time she kept thinking about Sofia and Alberto. What would happen now that they knew that Hilde's father was the one making the decisions? They knew... But no, they probably knew nothing at all. Wasn't it just her father pretending they knew? In any case, the problem remained: the moment Sofia and Alberto "knew" how things really were, they would, in a sense, have reached the end of the journey. She almost choked on a piece of potato when she suddenly realized that the same hypothesis could also apply to her world. Humans continued to make progress in understanding natural laws, yet the question arose as to whether history would continue after science and philosophy had put all the pieces of the puzzle into place. Should we perhaps assume that humanity was approaching the end of history? Wasn't there a connection between the development of thought and science on the one hand, and the greenhouse effect and the destruction of tropical forests on the other? Perhaps it wasn't so stupid to call the human need for knowledge "original sin." The question was so chilling that Hilde tried to forget it...»

P.S. I found the drawing belonging to the "dynamic ships" on Pinterest but I couldn't find the author, so if anyone recognizes them please let me know so I can put the credits.

Eurovision 2025 final ranking prediction

I realized a ranking prediction for the Eurovision 2025 final taking into account a series of data, that is:

The jury’s and the public’s favorites reported by my country's commentators during the semi-finals;

The percentages reported by bookmakers read in varius related online articles;

The number of view on youtube videos from the festival’s official channel;

The general placement of the various countries in the different edition;

The most objective analysis possible made by me after years of observing the competition;

A bit of personal taste (not a lot otherwise because the ranking would have been very different honestly, ahahahahah).

Note that there is certainly a large margin of error if you take into account that I checked many of these data without the help of any type of tool and that they could have changed in the last few hours. In short, it's a very hastily put together and light-hearted ranking.

Without further ado, here is the ranking:

Austria: JJ – Wasted Love

Sweden: KAJ – Bara Bada Bastu

Netherlands: Claude – C'est La Vie

Estonia: Tommy Cash – Espresso Macchiato

France: Louane – Maman

Greece: Klavdia – Asteromáta

Poland: Justyna Steczkowska – Gaja

Norway: Kyle Alessandro – Lighter

Finland: Erika Vikman – Ich Komme

Malta: Miriana Conte – Serving

Italy: Lucio Corsi – Volevo essere un duro

Albania: Shkodra Elektronike – Zjerm

San Marino: Gabry Ponte – Tutta L'Italia

Israel: Yuval Raphael – New Day Will Rise

Spain: Melody – Esa diva

Germany: Abor & Tynna – Baller

Luxembourg: Laura Thorn – La Poupée Monte Le Son

Lithuania: Katarsis – Tavo Akys

Armenia: PARG – Survivor

Denmark: Sissal – Hallucination

Switzerland: Zoë Më – Voyage

Ukraine: Ziferblat – Bird of Pray

Iceland: VÆB – Róa

Portugal: NAPA – Deslocado

United Kingdom: Remember Monday – What the hell just happened?

Latvia: Tautumeitas – Bur Man Laimi

All that remains is to wait and find out the real final ranking…

I got very close to some, others… not so much…
