I think there’s an argument to be made that protecting the children from relatively tame shadows of adults concepts actually makes things worse for them.

Like nothing is worse for me as an adult than the entirely unwarranted and unwanted sense of fear or scandalization from perfectly common stuff. And I don’t blame some wonderful TV show for using the word “fuck” or showing a nipple. My responses to those things are entirely constructed and cultural, and those shows are often doing me a kindness by giving me a context in which to safely re-examine them and my relationship to them.

And I just think actually there were a lot more opportunities to have a well adjusted outlook on life for the kids whose parents just told them what fuck meant.

As a kid, when your parents are poor, you're poor. If they don't have money, that means none of you have money. But if someone's parents are rich, that doesn't necessarily mean the kid is. Sometimes rich peoples' kids aren't rich kids, they're just some rich freak's exotic pets that can talk but aren't allowed to.

Bruce being just eldrich enough he can deny it but others notice

A slightly less human Clark, pointed fanged teeth that can be passed off as bad dental jobs and too clear blue eyes, thinking he's found someone like him and being increasingly confused because this obvious eldritch being is in so much denial

But that's okay! He can wait for his new eldritch friend to come to terms with it! It took him a bit too when he was young

Bruce unintentionally being fellow Eldritch bait is SO funny to me.

“I’m human, I don’t know why you—”

“Bruce, every time you get pissed off, the Narrows flood. You never thought about that?”

“That’s a coincidence.”

“Last month Dick found you in the cemetery talking to ghosts with your eyes glowing white.”

“Those were witnesses, Clark, and they looked alive—”

Earlier today, talking about queer community security, I said, "Well, you know the saying about butches and bears," and the person I was talking to said "... no?"

So:

No "see answers" option, pick an answer or stay curious.

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

A general reminder—periodic cicadas pose no threat to anyone and their plant damage is limited to nipping off the ends of twigs. Please do not hose them with pesticide. They are slow and clumsy and confused and only want to make friends with other cicadas and eventually die of sexual exhaustion.

Yes, the screaming is a lot, but they’ve been extremely quiet neighbors for thirteen years, cut them some slack as they go through the most fraught time of their lives.
