Lucius Fox is in the drive thru for some coffee, and like. He's just. He's had a time, okay?
He's stuck on some equations in regard to the amount of torsion a joint would go through if it's half in his dimension and half in another, and it's driving him up a wall.
He's been up for like forty-eight hours, he's tired, he's thirsty, he just wants a coffee, and also how to solve this dilemma.
He doesn't expect the barista in the drive-thru he's ranting about the engineering issues to actually provide decent feedback, and give him a few alternatives.
So he rushes to the pick-up window, not even caring to order, to look at this godsend of a barista.
It's a scrawny kid with black hair and blue eyes, looking startled. Boy can't be more than eighteen.
He asks what college the kid is going to, or plans to go to.
To his absolute horror, the kid-Danny, according to the nametag-says he can't afford college. That he'd had a stint in highschool where he just hadn't been able to focus, and his parents had spent every penny they had on their own inventions.
So that was why he was a barista; because if he worked there for four years, they would offer tuition assistance.
Which.
No. No no no no no.
Lucius pulls around to march into the store, Bruce Motherfucking Wayne already blearily on his phone.
He is getting this kid, and any friend of his, into college.
If Bruce won't foot the bill, he will.

I feel like Tumblr has pulled a bit of Dracula Daily in that everyone is going back and watching Fox 2004-2012 drama House MD, at the same time. House, a show which was never, as far i remember early Tumblr, a major part of the fandom ecosystem when it aired
like if you put a gun to my head in 2013 and asked me which 2000's Sherlock Holmes adaptation would have a sincere heartfelt revival on tumblr in 2023, I would have been shot in the head for answering BBC Sherlock

Bruce adjusted his bow tie, sighing again, as he did a final check on his outfit in the mirror. This was supposed to be the happiest day of his life, yet he felt as if he was heading to the gallows.
The door to his room opened, and Bruce glanced up as Dick slipped in.
“Err, I know I should be congratulating you on your wedding day, but I feel bad for you, Bruce. I can see why you’re so reluctant to go through with it.”
Bruce ran a hand through his hair, feeling resigned to his fate. “I never thought I’d be in an arranged marriage either, but I’m doing it for Nana. Her final wish was to see me get married,” Bruce said.
Dick bit his lip. “Yeah, but must she choose a girl who’s so…homely?”
Bruce frowned. He may not have wanted to get married to the woman that Nana chose for him, but he was not going to deny the woman’s good looks. Kara Danvers was renowned to be one of the most beautiful women in Kansas.
Alfred walked into the room. “Master Bruce, Ms Danvers wishes to speak with you, sir,” he said.
Bruce raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t it bad luck to see the bride before the ceremony?” he grumbled, but he got on his feet anyway. Alfred led him out of the room and down the hallway to the room where the bride was supposed to be getting ready.
“Well stranger things have happened, sir,” Alfred said with a hint of a smile as Bruce knocked on the door.
“Come in,” a soft, low voice called out. Bruce opened the door and stepped in.
His first thought was that Kara was a lot taller than what he had expected. He could not tell if she was wearing heels, but she seemed to be towering a full head over him. He also could not see her face behind the wedding veil, but good lord, she looked more likely to carry him over the threshold than he was to carry her. Her shoulders were broader than his and her wedding dress seemed close to bursting at the seams around those tree trunk-sized biceps. Bruce distantly wondered if he could ask her for some workout tips.
“Hi Mr Wayne,” “Kara” greeted him uncertainly. “Umm, I just thought we should talk before the ceremony.”
Bruce felt a grin stretching across his face. Perhaps this wedding would not be so bad after all.

Some notes from the first episode of Dark Gallifrey:
Morbius was from an “unnamed House”
Morbius fought Rassilon’s successor, a President whose name is lost to time
Time Lords destroyed civilisations by dropping shards of their own future on them from orbit
Old Gallifreyans travelled through the Vortex in wooden ships manned by hundreds of people
These ships could twist and morph during travel, crushing crew below decks
Earth crows were once creatures of the Vortex. They settled on many different worlds during Morbius’ War
Time Lords could bestow regenerations on Outsider Gallifreyans as medals of honour. They said those regenerations could give one an extra heart…

Why is there no war or conflicts in the Boiling Isles before Philip came into the picture?? I’m so confused?? Like everyone in the past was so nice ?? You telling me humans back home were suffering poverty, war, famine, killing and accusing each other of witchcraft, committing genocide against natives, but the witches had a whole utopia? Why did Evelyn even take interest in such a place?? You telling me tween Philip single-handedly introduced evil to an entire civilization?? A random fatherless, motherless, brotherless man took over an entire world full of beings that naturally have immense power, no one else ever even tried to abuse this natural born power ever ??
