Obsessed with the idea of battinson having a robin for reasons being that dick is and has always been a fashion disaster.

This kid is the brightest thing you’ll see no matter the occasion no matter the weather. Every day he insists on putting together his own outfits, Alfred is genuinely losing his will to live with each passing day.

He’ll wear neon tie dye leggings under blue gym shorts with a red spaceship sweater (colors an homage to his favorite superhero, sorry Bruce).

He’ll raid Bruce’s closet for a shirt or sweater, only to pair it with a highlighter yellow undershirt and honest to god jorts that just about come down low enough to meet the mismatched knee high socks he’s wearing.

He will be wrangled into a suit only to disappear and reappear somehow having procured purple tinted star shaped sunglasses and having swapped out his bow tie for a joke tie with green aliens that he tried and failed to tie properly. He will then assure a horrified Alfred that he will quite literally be the coolest guy at the party.

Now pair this with his wet cat foster father who’s just one bad texture away from becoming a permanent hermit. A man who only wears various shades of black but might try some grey if he’s feeling risky.

Imagine Bruce taking dick clothes shopping and standing there like some forsaken entity behind dick who rummages through the racks and takes every item off to show to him for his opinion. Dick will turn around to show him some loud video game character shirt and be like “well what do you think??” And Bruce will squint at it and grunt and dick will nod sagely and add it to the cart.

Anyways. Love those freaks.

DC give that man a 9 year old

unpopular opinion but with the new tide of Greek mythology stories and retellings, Greek Cultural Sensitivity Readings are absolutely necessary. We are in 2024, with thousands of fics and retellings out there!! How is this not a thing yet?? There's vast improvement one can achieve by working professionally on their text with a Greek. I've seen it so many times!!

Also, duh, I'm offering the service BUT I want you to know that the situation with the inaccuracies of SERIOUS works is so dire that initially I didn't even do it for money. As a writer I just wanted to... fix things, to set a new standard for writers and the industry that sells us the most heavily Americanized pop-culture material and passes it as "authentic vibes of Greek mythology". (And of course there were writers who wanted to do right by their story and they had reached out to me. So kudos to them as well!)

Okay, but why does Cultural Sensitivity Reading make a vast difference and it's not just smoke and mirrors?

You can send me a personal message to share your story, or ask what this whole cultural sensitivity thing is all about, or ask about what I have done so far and how I can help. But for the love of all that's good, don't let your story be another "generic greek myth retelling"! And don't let others sell you their generic greek myth retellings!!

Okay okay okay so I’m changing like every recognizable detail of this for privacy purposes but yall need to appreciate this

So I know how to retain CCTV footage, right? It doesn’t come up everywhere but I know my way around- and if someone gets jumped in a parking lot or whatever I can go backwards and see whodunnit

So I’m at this one place, right? And I get a call that an older woman in a wheelchair got hurt somehow and we need to see what happened.

Nobody remembers the exact time, because of course not, but they tell me she was wearing like a massive hot pink jacket and she’s in a wheelchair and she left with a medic round 09:45ish, so I figure I’ll start there.

So I find the incident itself no problem, but they need ALL footage for liability and insurance and stuff, so I have to keep going

And about ten minutes backwards, I lose her. She comes into view past a single shelf on one of the worse cameras and vanishes.

like. VANISHES. Hot pink jacket, big bulky black chair, gonzo. No idea where she came from.

So, I pull up entry cams. Zoom backwards till I see her come in… at like 06:15.

THREE AND A HALF HOURS EARLIER.

So first off, this is gonna take me like two hours minimum to write down, forget retention. And I’m kind of dying in my soul a bit but I start over there, watching her come in and meander and whatever.

At about 08:30ish she disappears.

Doesn’t leave. Doesn’t head to a bathroom. Doesn’t take her coat off. Her trail just stops.

Now, I’ve done this before. Typically, a location only has the mandatory minimum amount of room for a chair or walker to get around, so a person using one can only go forwards and it’s hard to 180. That limits options and makes it easier to follow, whereas a little unattended and fully mobile kid will zoom around in circles and shit and go who the hell knows where.

Then I see her again on the other ass end of the building, and I have to go back again to see how she GOT there.

My guys.

Her two and three-point turns are INCREDIBLE.

She’s popping on the wheels, flip, zoom, she’s out somewhere I didn’t think she could even GET to. I’ve been planning my search for places that fit a wheelchair or least-resistance fast-paths from A to B and she’s like… doing some Tokyo Drift shit.

I don’t know WHY. The whole place is basically completely accessible so long as you put up with having to reverse, but no. No, she goes where she wants.

I’ve been at this for half the day, and I still have no idea where she went for like an hour and a half.

Fuck me, I’m taking a lunch break

This is barely an exaggeration

save: floppy disk -> up your ass

oh brucie i wish we could see you more in mainstream media today

let bruce wayne cosplay as a harmless ditz he really needs a non-violent stress relief

Justice League undercover boss but it’s just Bruce Wayne “touring the facilities” once a year (bc he’s their biggest investor) and secretly grading them on their professionalism while he tries to be as obnoxious as possible

*slams fist on table* BETS FASHION SHOW!

Wanted to draw but wasn't sure what.

So I decided to browse my drawing folder labeled "incomplete WIPS" and came across a concept design I had started of Beta wearing light armor back when the game initially released, and decided to finish it. Cause the poor girl will need something else besides her smarts to protect her if she ever decides to leave the confines of the base!

Her design is based on the young nora scout armor you see in the first game. The outfit is equipped with a hood, so should Beta's shy nature demands it, she has something to hide beneath to avoid talking to people lol.

So, uh, one of our biggest suppliers is shutting down.

We found out yesterday that our main supplier for clothing - everything from our skater dresses and skirts with pockets to swimsuits and joggers - is going out of business before the end of the month, entirely due to the tariffs. They sell to the United States, pretty much, and once the de minimis (no tariffs under $800 in value) goes away, they're pretty much boned.

Yes, we're devastated. Yes, we'll be okay - we are already looking for alternatives, and we may have to change a few things, but, we'll make it work.

We will cease accepting orders for everything in our Free Domestic Shipping collection at 11:59 PM Pacific Time, April 15th, 2025. Until then, use code BYE15 for 15% off these items. This is well before their final cutoff for production - we're playing it safe.

(boy, we are so tired of manufactured crises)

I'm sorry I'm going fucking insane over trans people in sports issues the anti trans crowd has lost the fucking plot and then has the audacity to act like its the trannies who are ridiculous

I used to be of the "well the sports issue isn't really important to me its w/e I just don't want it to be a gateway into other transphobia" but oh my fucking god we are so far gone. The fencing shit is sending me over the edge. What the fuck.

I can't even articulate my words so I'm just going to tell a story in screenshots

I am so fucking tired of being gaslit about this

I'm also still so fucking pissed that we have to include "ooo the trans fencer only finished in X place" because its a reminder that trans women will never be allowed to excel at anything in the public eye without being cut down. Fuck OFF

Horizontober day 31: Future

First pass on an idea for a future Beta armor set! I think she would vibe with Oseram clothes the most; they seem like they’d be the most familiar style to her, and they look pretty comfy.

I’ve been having some thoughts about Horizon 3, namely that I’d like Beta to have some sections of her own. 

Maybe Aloy takes a hit she needs time to recover from and Beta decides to put her sister’s training to the test and pick up the slack. She’d have to be a lot more stealth/trap focused than Aloy but she could also have some cool equipment to compensate (maybe a valor surge that lets you control an overridden machine?).

As for her outfit, I tried to take stuff from all her friends: Aloy - shirt, bracers, spear Varl - pelt, cape and sleeves Erend - Osaram pants Zo - Utaru chest piece Kotallo - shoulder/elbow/knee pads Alva - belt

taking down an entire bandit camp to get some pigment #justAloythings

either I have drastically misremembered this post from when I saw it half an hour ago, or drinking a nice drink too quickly is now against tumblr's user guidelines somehow

I don’t know what Daniel Radcliffe is doing these days and this clip doesn’t help but here’s my thoughts on the matter:

I don’t know what this is. cool
