Lawful Chaotic - loophole abuse. their goal is to carry out as many zany shenanigans as possible in an absolutely nonpunishable manner. Chaotic Lawful - malicious compliance. dredges up obscure laws that haven’t been implemented in decades or centuries and insists on following them. thrives on inscrutable bureaucratic labyrinths. Good Evil - the token evil teammate. a missing stair. an objectively terrible person but charming or useful somehow so people keep making excuses for them. Evil Good - always does the right thing, but, like, in the least comfortable way. call them in for big, big problems, and then spend a year wondering if it was really worth it. their approval fills you with shame.

Poor Batman

[feministism]

[unpretty]

just saw someone ask whether batman or spiderman would win in a fight, as if batman would see a brightly-colored sassy acrobat and not immediately adopt him

[unpretty]

now, in fairness, peter parker has a history of seeing someone else in a costume and immediately throwing hands only to realize three pages later that there was literally no reason to do that, but it’s not like misplaced aggression is disqualifying when it comes to suddenly acquiring a batdad

Bruce, upon realizing that he’s getting punched repeatedly by a flippy and talkative spider-child with 0 brain cells and a strong moral compass, immediately begins filling out mental adoption papers

Peter, catching the image of an adult dressed vaguely like an animal and standing in the shadows out of the corner of his eye, immediately backflips into a roundhouse kick while shouting “batter up!”

Batman, internally: Unfortunately I love it.

Maybe all the twentysomethings are obsessed with cartoons because all the “adult” shows show the same traumas, frustrations, and anxieties we already have to deal with 24/7.

Sometimes you just wanna watch a princess of power or a magical alien child do fancy magic stuff in a lower-stakes world where you can be reasonably sure you won’t be subjected to depictions of extreme violence, gore, assault, and sex without warning, ya dig?

[raeseddon]

It’s true and you should say it

[sith-shenanigans]

so much adult media likes to pretend hopelessness and pessimism and cynicism are something profound instead of the same depressing nonsense that you can find self-righteous assholes spouting on any given corner of the internet

society acts like we’re supposed to outgrow hope somewhere between sixteen and twenty-two and it’s absolute bullshit

being an adult isn’t about giving up

hold on, let me repeat that

just in case y'all didn’t hear me in the back

being an adult isn’t about giving up

found family dynamics i adore:

the entire gang shares 1 (one) braincell which they takes turns passing around

unwilling teammates gradually grow on each other

Area Man Forcibly Adopted by Several Children

bonded over shared trauma

none of us have actual families or homes to go back to anymore, but at least we have each other

“every single one of these guys has tried to kill me at least once, but we’re cool now and i’d trust them with my life”

redemption arc comes with bonus new family and friends (bonus feature is non-negotiable and eventual acceptance inevitable)

i WAS going to leave the group and go my own way as soon as this job was over, and i would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for my meddling heart

Officer I Swear I’ve Never Met Any Of These People In My Life (But If Anything Were To Happen To Them I Would Kill Everyone In This Room And Then Myself)

working full time is terrible why do we just accept that having 8 days off a month is normal and okay........ being alive could be cool but we waste it at our JOBS.... sorry i’m just heated about capitalism again i’ll be fine

[fbdbsgdg]

8 days....never thought about it like that 😓

[revere-irreverence]

This seems really whiny to me. Like, I agree with you, work sucks, but our ancestors didn’t get to browse tumblr at their desks or have the option to gleefully spend their ENTIRE WEEKENDS horizontal on the couch stuffing their faces/watching tv/playing video games/wacking off.  They didn’t have weekends. They just slaved away as fucking peasants from dawn to dusk until they died in childbirth or got the consumption.

I am perfectly happy working 8 hrs a day because I don’t have to:

grow my own food

find my own clean water

heat my house

shit in the woods

Hi, I study social and cultural anthropology. Humans working 40+ hours a week is 100% an industrial revolution thing and was not normal in the early stages of our existence. In fact, hunter and gatherer societies that still exist to this day spend about 15-20 hours a week TOPS working. The rest is dedicated to sitting around and telling stories and jokes, dancing, singing, eating, sleeping, fucking and so forth. Read a damn book.

The average American worker takes less vacation time than a medieval peasant

Medieval peasants lived grueling, terrible lives. But their vacation days beat out the policies now common even in progressive societies.

In today’s modern society, Riddler would be the EASIEST of Batman’s villains to rehabilitate 

All you have to do? Give him a job designing/running an Escape Room facility

It’s perfect for him. A non-violent outlet for feeding his need to flex how intelligent he is, he still gets to create his elaborate puzzles and riddles, and people will willingly PAY HIM to lock them up in a room where he can mess with them for an hour or so

Someone get Bruce Wayne on the phone I have an idea for a thing he should invest in

[thenarator]

if you win, and successfully escape the room, you get a sticker that says “i’m as smart as batman”

[hedgiwithapen]

the batkids think it’s great fun. Damian has so many of those stickers. (it’s good practice) but not as many as Tim. Red Hood has one of the stickers on the side of his helmet

I think my favorite thing about September is how completely lawless it is. There are no rules. Someone just biked past you in shorts and a winter coat. A bartender just offered you a pumpkin spice summer shandy. The pool is open, but it’s decorated for Halloween.

are you a “sleeping and taking naps all the time” mentally ill person or a “i toss and turn all night and stare at the ceiling” person
