Why can't we have a batman is the spirit of Gotham au?
He already is, in meta, in character, in theming. Him and the joker. He is so very built upon what Gotham is made of, and Gotham builds from what he needs in turn, the setting of his story.
What if that is the reason he can take damage that would permanently ruin a physical career and come back? What if that's how he's managed to maintain his no-kill streak to such an extent? What if that's how he manages to maintain such high maintenance and all consuming identities?
For the heart and soul of a city containing all extremes, the richest nobility and the lowest of the poor, the cruellest villains and the most compassionate heroes, orphaned children and ancient lineages, a city rooted in fear and madness and grit-teeth determination and hard won kindness, what better choice could you find than Bruce Wayne?
But what if he wasn't alone in that? What if Gotham has sunk to such a low because its spirit is damaged and corrupted?
For the heart and soul of the cruellest city in the dc universe, the most unrelenting and uncaring, the one that practically laughs at your pain and suffering as you try to make it through another day, what better choice than the Joker?

Jensen avoided being on Gotham Knights and made sure Misha wasn’t on The Winchesters. Only you delusional fans could turn that into Jensen wanting to work with Misha.

friends! so i kinda had an epiphany the other day & im extremely certain that i am asexual and i suddenly feel like about 50 pounds has just been lifted off my shoulders tbh. it doesn't rly change much about my life, but i spent a long time feeling like something was wrong and it's really, really nice to be able to come to terms with this part of myself for the first time
that being said, realizing something like this at 24 is very funny in a lot of ways. brief list of things i said or did regularly for years while still somehow remaining in denial about being ace:
did not know how to respond in kind when people expressed physical attraction to me so i just "made things up"
"i'm not ace, i'm just not that interested in sex"
"sex only matters because it builds intimacy and gets you closer to people"
been confused as to why anyone would ever cheat on a partner just to have sex or leave them for someone more attractive
scrolled through ace positivity blogs because they inexplicably made me feel better to read
thought about the plots to movies, books etc. or started conversations during sex to keep myself entertained
only expressed sexual or romantic interest in people who liked me first or people i had an established friendship with
"i don't care how my potential partner looks, sex is the same with anyone so personality is all that matters"

You would never have had Tom Petty without The Heartbreakers. The proper accreditation and distinction between Tom Petty's solo work and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers' work is vitally important.
To credit Tom Petty alone for songs that were not only arranged but also often co-written by members of The Heartbreakers (sometimes even singularly; there were plenty of instances where Tom was not really involved with the arrangement of the songs at all, and all he wrote were the lyrics) is to refuse to acknowledge the band as a working, necessary unit.
Linda Ronstadt said it better than I could, though:
I loved Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers the best, because they really were a band. Their songs and their arrangements are so good. They sounded exactly like they did on record because their arrangements put it so that everybody was flying in the same airspace. They weren’t competing with each other. They sound like a garage band on stage, but a good garage band.

It's been awhile since my last SPOP blogging, but somehow, my best friend (30-something cishet dude) and I ended up talking about the Bow-Glimmer-Adora best friend squad vs our own squad in high school. We were part of a trio of bffs for nearly five years, but the third member fell out with both of us in different ways in senior year, and though it made us (him and me) closer, we were both kind of screwed up by it.
Anyway, our dynamic didn't map all that well to SPOP (unsurprisingly) until he suddenly took a deep breath and went, "Oh, wait, I see it now."
me: ??????
Best friend: I was Catra, not Adora. You were Entrapta or Sc—no, definitely Entrapta.
me, with perfect sincerity: I'm honored. But was [Redacted] Scorpia?
Best friend: That part doesn't fit as well. Though she did leave.
me: O_O
