“yeah i know it’s bad for the environment but like so many things are so i just use it anyway” COOL I’M GONNA BITE THROUGH THIS TABLE
The quickest way to get me turned off from reading a Dick-centric fic is to have Dick say in the fic he can’t handle maths or computers. As if Boolean algebra is daunting for Dick “maths prodigy” Grayson; As if the dude whose modern versions have him hacking complex systems can’t handle coding. Of course, 40s and 50s Robin wasn’t hacking complex computer systems as those didn’t exist to be hacked, yet. But authors who will have Dick himself claim he’s not the supra-intelligent sort key me out. Why are you writing Dick-centric fics IF you think he’s not intelligent or if you think Dick’s the golden standard for hundreds of DC heroes simply because he can flip and jump.
My life is a constant cycle between “I need to rest before I burn out” and “I’m wasting my potential, I should work harder”

There’s something oddly familiar about this post, but for the life of me I can’t put my finger on what.
#lol#I’ll never understand why people do this#in this instance I can sort of believe someone else might have screenshotted the OOP and this (uncredited) screenshot is what OP first saw#but like. if you see a post you enjoy.#why screenshot it and post it on your own new post?#why not just reblog the original?
I, for one, see no problem with this

the sexual tension between two gas stations on the same intersection
I’m so sick of this shit. Two gastations can’t even be on the same block without some walnut shipping them, while I can’t find a single fic for dennys/applebees with dennys bottoming.
you’re literally out of your mind if you think Dennys isnt a top
The US is crazy bc like so many people have intense conspiracy theories about the government like “I think there’s a secret elite group of people who control everything” and you can tell them “actually you’re not completely wrong, it’s just not a secret group of people, it’s a bunch of rich people and lobbyists who are doing it all out in the open” and they’ll be like “hmmn I don’t think it’s THOSE people though. I prefer my racist & antisemitic theories”
They’ll be like “I heard there’s a powerful ring of pedophiles who are influencing the country” and you’ll tell them “I mean yeah that’s what the Epstein files are about” and they’ll say “no I’m pretty sure this has to do with The Queers actually”
Conspiracy theory no one will ever accept: What if the people secretly controlling the world are the same people obviously controlling the world?
