Everybody shut the HECK up and look at this
I think we’re not fully utilising Dick’s potential for fuckery. This mean was raised in a circus. Surrounded by trapeze artists. And wild animals. What makes you think he has any regard for safety or self preservation?
So I like to think that sometimes, just sometimes there’s a switch that flips inside him and instead of being mature and practical about the system he lets his intrusive feral child win.
Two-face: Heads or tails little bird. Heads, I kill you. Tails, I surrender.
*flips coin*
Nightwing *throws his escrema stick and it hits the coin which lands in his palm*
Nightwing: Hey Harvey. If I flip it around in my hands I can change the outcome of this
Two-face: .. wait-
Nightwing *flipping his hand around with the coin inside* : Say why don’t we make it more interesting?
*takes out three more coins and puts them all in his palm before switching them around a bit*
Two-face: oh.. no..
*Red Hood and Red Robin watching in horror*
Red robin: .. should we.. should we stop him
Red hood *remembering when a villain knocked away Dick’s weapons and told him if he could draw blood without landing a hit on him he’d tell his army to stop and Dick didn’t wait a second before biting the fucker’s neck and taking a good chunk out of it*
Red hood: he’ll be fine.

the decrease in costuming quality over the last 20 years has been soooo precipitous & nauseating. i’m not even talking abt marvel’s cg supersuits or anything this time, look at the fabric quality, structure, layering, character, and craftsmanship of older costumes in 102 dalmations (2000) vs cruella (2021)
ever after (1998) vs cinderella (2021)
lord of the rings (2001-2003) vs the rings of power (2022)
this trend should upset you not just because it looks cheap, but because it suggests a strong anti-art and anti-labor movement in film and tv making. don’t forget costumers are unionized
The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.
"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
I love the contrast between the 2 people who have a 6th sense for invisible Jimmy. Like it's
-"I know where you are because we're best friends and I love you lots and lots <3" (Scott)
and
-The all-seeing ability of the Cain Instinct (Grian)
TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!

Ah yes, cheese. The feeling of betrayal.
when people put "trigger warning" on their content without specifying what the trigger warning is for
