Main survival instinct is to bullshit my way out of a situation
Would rather be eccentric uncle than responsible parent
Would use the One Ring to get out of seeing family members
In times of strife, thinking of food is a source of comfort
Would never stop complaining, even as I became a true adventurer
Would sleep through an entire battle
Yes
on one hand i want a nightwing movie, but on the other hand i know they’d totally prob fuck him up and try to make him ~gritty~ like batman
Heard the best thing from a kid at 9:40 in the morning at work today
Random child: mum? Where's the wacky tracks gone?
His mum: they've provably sold it
Kid: I wanted it though.......
Kid: it's probably good that it got sold
Mum: why's that then?
Kid: wellllll, if someone else got it then they probably reeeeeeally wanted the wacky tracks. More than I did
Mum: that's a good thought darling
For the record, I work in a charity shop in a small town, so to to hear this from a kid (he looked about 8-10 btw) when it's rarely heard from adults.....

My memory is one of my biggest insecurities and I make sure to tell all of my new friends that it's terrible, I hate it and I'm so sorry if I forget anything I'm supposed to remember.
One of my best friends (lets call them Ash), one day started talking about some plans we made with two of our other friends in the group chat. I had forgotten and was like '??? huh?'.
'Ash' texted back 'you know. The plans for tomorrow.' So I said I forgot, sorry and asked if they could talk me through them again cause we discussed them verbally not over chat.
'Ash' then decided that it was a good idea to stab me where it hurts and texted ' you know, you're gonna fuck up all your relationships if you don't make more of an effort to remember things'
I froze. This was one of my closest friends, our friendship had gone on for the last 3 years and we were in a chat with 2 other ppl who were my friends first (one of which was basically my brother). And they were saying that.
Bear in mind, that they seemed very cool and understanding of all the other times I forgot stuff. And I definitely told them how insecure I was and still sorta am about my memory.
I had a mini spiral about if they were right and the the next day at school I tried to talk to them about it and say that the comment hurt but they just brushed it of and they slowly stopped talking to me.
Things were... tense for a while. Then we left secondary and got into different colleges and I, basically, cut off contact.
We haven't talked in about a year and let me tell you, they were wrong as FUCK dude. Not only have I kept my old friendships from that school, but I made loads of new ones in this.
So word of advice to everyone with friends like this. Cut them out, life gets better. And if you can't then being a complete arsehole to them alone tends to make em leave themselves 😁
Pet peeve: When people accuse you of not giving a shit when you forget to do something. I have adhd and autism, amongst other things, and I also spend most of my time taking care of my schizophrenic brother who actually forgets to take care of himself, who forgets to eat, so yeah, it's NOT because I don't care. (I'm also trying to keep him from going to prison). It's because I'm so busy trying to do so many other things all at once. Gah! Sorry, had to get that out.
Me: captain cold and cat woman would be really good friends
Regular people: because they're both criminals and master thieves?
Me: no, because they both like to flirt with their respective vigilantes. honestly they'd probably give each other tips and ideas
I need them
winter is coming and cnetizens are inspired by icicles to work on the weapon that the police can't find
OK, so, I was just reading in my room with my music blasting into my ears through my headphones so I can't hear my family, and then 'This is what you came for' by Calvin Harris and Rihanna starts playing. And do you know what my first thought was?
'This feels very Robin-coming-out-y'.
Then that FUCKING scene in season 3 when Robin comes out to Steve in the Starcourt bathroom after they got kidnapped and drugged by the Russians kept playing OVER AND OVER IN MY HEAD...............
And that concludes my rant about why someone needs to make this an edit on YouTube or something.
So if yall didn’t know, in The Hobbit book, Thranduil had the Dwarves locked up for approximately weeks, and Bilbo was just invisible and wandering in the palace the entire time, vibing miserably.
My headcanon, therefore, is that the Mirkwood Elves now have a local legend about a ghost haunting Thranduil’s palace, never seen but generally thought to be harmless. Thranduil scoffs at the idea, but has been seen glancing around at the dark corners of rooms. Legolas fully believes in it and is known to say hello out loud when he enters an empty room, in case the ghost is nearby.
It’s not until Legolas joins the Fellowship that he figures out that the supposed ghost was actually an invisible Bilbo the whole time. He never tells Thranduil, because he thinks it’s funny to see his regal father unnerved by the idea of a ghost.
