Jason Had A Favorite Perch When He Was Robin. It Was Just A Statue Behind The Library, With A Wing You

The demonisation of Alicent Hightower and her choices regarding her children remind me so much of the way this fandom chose to condem outline Sansa for her own decision about her son it's not even funny.

Outline Sansa didnt cause the conflict between the Starks and Lannisters - they caused that themselves. Sansa was only responding to it by protecting her kid. We have no idea how the Starks would have felt about her son. For we all know they would have insisted on them being sent to the Wall or the Faith. Catelyn calls the potential children Sansa might give Tyrion "vile" (understandable, given what was happening) so I don't think it's an entirely unrealistic assumption. Seriously, why the hell should outline Sansa be condemned for choosing her kid over her family? They married her to Joffrey in the first place.

Similarly, Alicent didn't cause the dangerous situation, Viserys did. It doesn't matter if her children honoured Rhaenyra's right to succession - her children would always be seen as a threat, if not by Rhaenyra then by her unpredictable husband.

Many people are claiming "Just way for Blood and Cheese, justice will be served" That's nasty,what justice? Luke was an 18 yo adult ENVOY with a fire-breathing WMD at his disposal,making him an active participant in the conflict of Blacks VS Greens. His war machine was the one who attacked first and died on an accident. Jahaerys,Jaehaera and Maelor were not combatants. They had quite literally 0 sway on the conflict.They were 5 and 2 years old. Who's on the sane mind could call that "justice"?

These stans are so dumb. Look at the reaction to Luke's death - it was far from the reaction to Ned's death. People were shocked and devastated when he died, it literally put GoT on the map. No one really cares about Luke. He is more like an NPC than a character. When he died, we were making jokes about it - Vhagar having bad eyesight, Aemond going home in silence, Alicent's horrified reaction to the news, Aegon's oblivious reaction to Aemond's remorse, etc.

People were making fun of Luke for coming to Storm's End so unprepared. A good amount of people were thirsting after Aemond like their lives depend on it. All of this is largely in part thanks to Aemond and Luke's ages being close and their pre-established beef that resulted in Aemond's disability.

Blood and Cheese will involve 2 toddlers and a mother who is at the very least coded as autistic. The kids were made even younger than they were in the books. In the show, they babble instead of talking that's how young they are.

You also have Helaena who is sweet and shown to be childlike. When the two assassins threatened to rape one toddler and murder the other, all while their poor helpless mother watches, who will laugh at that? What jokes can you even make about a situation like that? You don't even have to care about any of these characters, they can be NPCs too but this is a horrifying act involving babies. Plus, in the books you can pretend Daemon cares about Luke but in the show, he has a contentious relationship with Jace so it's doubtful he had a good relationship with Luke.

So no, Blood and Cheese won't be seen as 'justice' by anyone besides a small group of weirdos.

I always wonder whether Batfam fans really get just how fucking rich the Waynes are. Like of course we shy away from thinking about the fact that we're talking Musk and Bezos money, and focus on how Bruce funds the freaking Watchtower and has what is functionally a high-tech military base and lab and the world's most expensive vehicles. But this is the one time you don't have to factor in the implications of wealth-hoarding, so there's nothing preventing y'all from understanding exactly how much money we're talking about here.

For instance, there doesn't seem to be any concept of how palatial Wayne Manor is, simply going by the outer facades of it that appear in the comics and movies. Or how decadent the lifestyles that accompany that kind of ancestral home. Alfred couldn't run that place on his own even if he had super powers, which is why even the movies occasionally show a rotating probably-temporary staff in the background. The house probably has like 3 hundred-foot pools. Their garden is a protected heritage park.

The Waynes are 10x richer than Crazy Rich Asians. They buy and wear the jewelry worth hundreds of millions that belonged to royalty. They own private islands. The art in the house alone is worth more than the GDP of a small country. They went to school with like every US President since Teddy Roosevelt and still think the Rockefellers are new money. They're personal friends with Beyonce and can get her to perform at private parties. They can rent out an entire three-star Michelin restaurant and fly out to one for every date. They have top-line penthouse apartments in every major city in the world. They can buy a luxury sportscar instead of hiring a vehicle anywhere they visit and then just toss the keys to the nearest person on their way out (Arab royalty is known for this appearently. There's been some very lucky parking valets in the UAE iirc).

Bruce is as rich as Ra's Al Ghul, regularly make social calls to heads of state and his family has a history of being king-makers. Every one of Bruce's children, from Dick to Jason to Cass, is poised to inherit one of the largest and most powerful fortunes in the world. That means every time Bruce adopts an orphan off god-knows-where, the entire global elite is thrown into consternation and horror. Even Tim is barely acceptable to these people because he doesn't have the pedigree. I don't follow the reboot comics so Idk if Duke is adopted, but it would be so fucking funny if he was because they'd react a lot like the British establishment did to Meghan Markle (except the family and WE would have Duke's back completely). As for Damian, the fact that he's not white would get him snubbed if everyone who's anyone didn't 100% know who Ra's Al Ghul is. And they're fucking terrified because, for maximum hilarity, they probably figure that Bruce doesn't.

I just find it incredibly fucking funny when I'm reading fics that the writers can only imagine Bruce and the kids's civilian privileges extend only to "big house", "a lot of cars" and "Gotham famous". Lol. Lmao even.

Black Sails gets a lot right, but in the interest of my sanity, some historical inaccuracies that make me want to fight god (John E Steinberg):

- woodes rodgers side part im gonna scream a QUEUE with a SIDE PART omfg as if i didn’t hate him enough already

- sharp shooting muskets lol

- eleanor keeping her waist length hair down in what i can only imagine is a 120 degree heat index accounting for humidity

- 90% of women’s costumes would be incredible if they had wide arms, cuffs, skirt supports, and their skjdfghsjkd hair up

- rubber soled boots. listen. rubber soles were invented in 1899. silver is sneaky but not that sneaky

- i can’t explain how feral i am seeing 1750s naval uniforms in 1700-1715. 

- naval uniforms didn’t exist until 1748 when the Scottish and British navies were combined. am i being pedantic? yes. do i care? no.

- i don’t know what year ab oil was invented but it was definitely post Charles “Tit’s Out” Vane

- honestly everything about Vane i hate love him but he looks like he sells acid at Phish shows

- where are everyone’s hats and caps?

- Miranda is my hero my love my heart but in the London flashbacks she’s wearing a portrait gown/bedgown which is like going outside in your PJs im not upset just disappointed 

- woodes rodgers casually divorcing his wife i had to stop the ep and yell it’s absolutely patently sociopath behavior YOU CAN’T JUST CAUSALLY DIVORCE PPL IN 1715 YOU HAVE TO GET AN ACT OF PARLIMENT WHERE YOUR ENTIRE SEXUAL HISTORY IS DEBATED PUBLICALLY AND ANY RESULT RUINS YOUR WIFE’S LIFE. she can never marry again, loses all property, loses custody of all children, loses all social standing. 

- mrs. rodgers was very generous to not become a pirate and kill him personally 

- Hornigold’s facial hair he looks like a confederate general 1/10 points for keeping it clean i guess

- if you wear a wig you don’t keep a cool 2010 tousled haircut you keep your head shaved sorry thomas i love you but those are the rules

- weird choice but A+ for the enthusiasm of putting the s2 spanish navy in 16th c costumes and then ignoring that completely and never mentioning it again

- i cant even hate on Idelle’s s1 hot topic look you do you girl love the fluffy panties and bustier <3

Jane Austen in Chapter 1 of Persuasion: We are all well aware of why a widow with a good fortune would never want to marry again. I’m not even going to explain its so obvious.

Now a MAN deciding not to remarry, that requires a full paragraph of explanation…
