Dead crewmembers: FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT MEN, WHO DIED UNDER YOUR COMMAND
Odysseus: ,,,,wasn't it 43 men left under my command? Who the hell died?
Eurylochus: Apparently, Elpenor got drunk and fell off Circe's roof
Odysseus: HOW IS THAT MY FAULT
just sayin'
This should be taught in school.
And E8's best quote goes to...
silly werewolf transformation
It’s all inevitable and all his fault
“Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’, believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’.”
–Terry Pratchett, Snuff
sometimes star wars is unsubtle in a bad way and sometimes luke skywalker is dragging his father’s dead weight across the death star floor, sobbing from love and exhaustion
U.S. conservatives always talk about creating jobs but get SO MAD whenever anyone mentions banning prison labor like imagine the insane ammout of jobs that would be created literally overnight if companies in your country had to actually employ people instead of using slave labor from people that got caught with weed 10 years ago.
Daily reminder that the US, who love to scaremonger about "communist labour camps," have legal slave labour if you're in prison
What if Janet went into Labor with Tim during a Wayne gala and Bruce helped deliver him, but Bruce didn’t realize Tim was the same baby
Until a random stakeout/confrontation with a villain/league meeting, he remembers suddenly and just straight up goes
“I birthed you”
He then starts to think back to all the other women he helped and like...
– Teenage Bruce stopping in the middle of his day to help Mary Grayson call the hospital when her water breaks in public
– His first test of people skills as Batman is looking after Sandra Wu-San, not knowing she'd become Lady Shiva
– A short while later Batman does the same for Sheila Haywood because Willis didn't bother to show up
– Arthur Brown being too absorbed in his scandals and early scheming to be present so Batman swoops in for Crystal
– Then Janet Drake going into labor at a Wayne gala and Bruce helping her through that
– Couple years later, Batman keeping Elaine Thomas company in the twilight hours
– He stops to help Talia amidst a dangerous battle, not knowing the baby is his and her maintaining the secret
Bruce assisting in the birth of his own father figure is so odd. I love it.
another time travel adventure and he’s helping an oddly familiar woman. It was his mother. He birthed himself.
While trying to find Chekov Bones stops to do some awesome doctoring
My favourite thing is that Bones clearly doesn’t give a crap about the timeline when there are patients involved. My second favourite is that he habitually carries around pills that regrow organs.
Bones cares so much, even in the past, that he has canonically fucked up the timeline so hard that the nazis won ww2. Kirk and Spock had to go back and fix it! (the city on the edge of forever)
This is a guy who has multiple incidents of “saved someone in the past, despite any effects on the timeline” on his record. And I bet that’s just the two we saw. He does this so casually that he’s probably a major timeline menace that’s always giving the temporal investigation guys headaches.
Bones doesn’t care. He just wants everyone to live, history be damned.
Tiresias: I see your wife........ with a ruthless man who has killed hundreds of people

Odysseus: *Monster starts playing* I will ensure that this man will be me
i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom
as well as the three laws of fandom:
Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship
im sorry but this is what I see every time I read this comment
I want less of "the Drakes were terrible people and parents and Bruce rescues poor sad Timmy" (not knocking the trope it just got old for me)
And more of Bruce suffering a hell of his own creation as he tries to figure out how to parent Timothy "latchkey kid" Drake, who doesn't respect the concept of having parental supervision in general and more specifically Bruce's authority as his new guardian at all, because Tim was basically his caretaker for the entire beginning of his tenure as Robin
Any kind of Parental Action would have Bruce choking in his own hypocrisy. Like... imagine trying to get your teenage son to go to bed when he's been putting your ass down for naps for like, years, by that point. Imagine telling him to eat healthier when at 13 years old he was helping your butler with designing your meal plan 'cause you were too depressed to eat
Bruce gently tries to get him to stop working on a case to take a break, and Tim raises a single withering eyebrow (he learned this from Alfred) and Bruce immediately shuts up. Tim only listens to Bruce when he wants to and being legally adopted by the man hasn't changed that
(And I want fics of the rest of the batfam reacting to this dynamic soooooooo bad)
