why did we see Max's letters and not have anyone read them. why did they big up Jason creating a mob when nothing happened. why did they have Eddie say he wasn't a hero then die saving no one. why have will be in love with Mike and not say it to anyone. why introduce new characters just to kill them and neglect others. why have so many storylines that are essentially meaningless. why-
I am sick to death with stories and readings of Joker being Batman's only friend and is the only person who understands him, it's bullshit.
You know who can be Batman's friend who understands him waaay better than Joker?
Alfred Pennyworth - the man who raised and took care of Bruce. The man who was and is always there for him and is practically his father.
Any of the Robins - He's raised them, he knows who they've become as adults and knows what they all went through as children.
But I can hear you say, those are family, and although family can be your friends, it's not the same. Well fuck you, what about
Selina Kyle - his former fling turned partner. She knows Bruce well enough at this point, hell she knows the Batfamily a lot at this point to be a mother figure to the Robins and to be a pillar of emotional support for Bruce
CLARK JOSEPH KENT - This one pisses me off the most because for every version that romanticizes Bruce and Joker's friendship, there's also a version that strains Clark and Bruce's by making them enemies. They are the goddamn world's finest, they've both been through tragic losses; Clark lost Pa Kent at a young age and Bruce lost both his parents. Both of them operate under a sense of justice informed by that trauma and by the love of their respective caretakers, Ma Kent and Alfred.
Barbara Gordon - same reason for the Robins, but more on a mentor relationship than a parental one, however that doesn't discount the chances of two being good friends since they both know each other personally and fight for the same cause.
JIM FUCKING GORDON - I don't even need to explain this, he's pretty much Alfred, Clark, and Barbara all rolled into one in terms of his relationship with Bruce
Buuuut nooooooooo let's go out there and say that the psychotic maniac that's obsessed with Batman is Bruce's only friend and is the only person who can understand him. Sure.
For fuck's sake, Bane probably has a better chance of being Bruce's friend than Joker
EDIT: It has come to my attention that I totally forgot to include Harvey Dent in here, but included Bane right at the gate. Sorry
OMG JUST UNCOVERED: SHORT SEGMENT OF THE ANIMATION MEME I THOUGHT I HAD LOST FOREVER T O T!!!
Predebut
• Valedictorian ( highest ranked student )
• Class president for nine years.
• Only freshman to recieve a martial scholarship to China.
• 6 overseas offers.
• Overall #1 in math and chemistry.
• #1 in Busan street battles for two years.
• Just dance academy let him learn dance for free cause nobody could deny that natural talent.
• Professionally trained in Ballet, contemporary, street, traditional Korean dance and hip hop.
• Learned Geomdo for 8 years.
• Has a black belt in Taekwondo.
• #1 rank in school despite being a dancer since 8th grade and spending most his time dancing.
Post debut
• Had the shortest trainee period and still debuted as the lead vocalist and the main dancer of BTS. ( enourmous flex )
• Has the most commercially successful solo on the wings album; the masterpiece that is Lie which stayed on melon charts for 8 weeks, the longest in the groups solos.
• His ‘lie’ was the only solo song on the top 30 kpop songs streamed on Spotify along with psy.
• ‘Lie’ was the only BTS solo to enter iTunes top 100 chart.
• Has the most views on his solo comeback trailer out of all; serendipity the Queen.
• Has the most watched fancam in kpop history; The holy fake love fancam.
• Jimin’s solos ‘lie’ & ‘serendipity’ made history when they surpassed 50 m streams on Spotify for the first time after psy as korean solo songs.
• The only idol mentioned on guardians best solo boy band members along with the resident king, G dragon.
• #1 idol in all of Korea based on the Gallup poll 2018 which does the actual polling and estimates for elections and stuff so I mean, that’s fucking reliable.
• #1 brand ranking multiple times including December 2018.
• His new solo “promise” became the fastest BTS song on souncloud to cross the streams.
And all of this is when I’m only counting the things that actually matter and not shitty websites and random polling.
Being average has never been a Jimin thing. His whole life has been a flex.
Just cause he is humble and doesn’t talk about his achievements doesn’t mean we as his fans won’t.
So yeah, if y’all think Jimin has no solo achievements in his life or career try and come at me personally, with all due respect,
“I’ll show you”
Be an intellectual and go stream promise.👑

GUYS THEY HAVE MADE UP CONFIRMED CONFIRMED CONFIRMED THIS WAS RECENTLY POSTED APOLLO IS STILL IN THE PICTURE TO THIS DAY AND IS STILL AROUND HE KEPT HIS PROMISE EVERYONE SPREAD THE WORD LET'S FUCKING GO TAKE THAT TSATS
I know that fandom often clowns on this statement
from Law (about needing to take down monsters to learn about history), taking it as proof that he's somehow not fighting for freedom or that
freedom of expression is not something important that has been sanctified ratified in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. (Article 19)
But that it is instead some nerdish pastime that no other character in One Piece or the real world is invested in (WG or otherwise) for obvious reasons of power, politics and freedom/repression.
But there are governments and organisations that regularly suppress this kind of expression (in One Piece and the real world--no surprise):
There are governments and organisations that fear the pursuit of knowledge:
Partial SBS: Volume 86: Pedro led the Nox expedition party who were chased by the government for searching for poneglyphs, thus they became the Nox Pirates. That's a story from about 15 years ago.
And there are governments and organisations that penalise people by taking their lives
for seeking out knowledge. 👆👇
From Clover,
to Nico Olvia,
to Rayleigh,
to
(Egghead Arc spoilers under the cut)
to Pedro,
to the giants (👇 read right to left),
to Vegapunk
the power and desire to learn about history is emphasised and
honoured,
(from chapter 396 👆)
(from chapter 1066 👆)
and also acknowledged as a very dangerous undertaking.
And even Cora talks to Law about
the meaning behind the Will of D. not being lost, BUT "living on in the dark shadows of history around the world" (it's not easily seen either).
Like, knowing history and access to history/knowledge is one of the main themes of the manga. And Big Mom is a monster. And the World Government is a repressive monolith. And this guy (guy?) 👇:
nuking places and people for not toeing the line, or for knowing too much; riddled with antipathy towards holders of the Will of D. and, with Artur's (Library of Ohara) claim (among others) that the ancient immense kingdom was formed by descendants of the D. clan (which is canon)—
—then wouldn't you too be curious and more than a little pissed off that your curiosity could be the catalyst for persecution and genocide?
That searching for identity, roots...your reason for being, is not allowed? (Sound familiar?)
Like, those scholarly waters are nothing if not shark-infested.
Ultimately the pen (Robin's ability to read the poneglyphs, the scholars' meticulous research) probably will be mightier than the sword, and although bureaucracy can entrap, knowing how to read between the lines, or even to read them, can loosen the ties that bind, and help ensure they are not unfairly cast.
Keep fighting to study history, Law. I too want to know about the Will of D.

Jason
Okay it's cannon but like in an alternative universe because Comics. I just think the fact DC made Known Murderer and Reblious Teen with Daddy Issues a Catholic priest in a different universe. Just. Casually.
Jason Todd is may or may not be Catholic in the main timeline of DC Comics, but I the Flashpoint storyline, my man is a priest! He was a drug addict, thief, and in the Blood Brother cult before dying, only to come back to life and decide to become a priest in the hellhole that is Gotham. In the main timeline, he comes back after dying and stuffs a duffel bags full of heads! The common trait before all Jason Todds is that they all have to be as dramatic as possible. Dying and coming back as the most unexpected thing. Unbelievable. I love this man.
Shadow
In sonic destruction (the AI generated fan thing snapcube made a while ago) shadow was catholic or something which I think is reallyyyyyyy funny
Ok listen. I know this is a stretch but hear me out. He says “oh my God” in the Twitter takeovers so we know this is a possibility. I see him as a Christ-like figure because I saw his whole confrontation with Mephiles and was like “this is a thing that happened in the Bible??” and the pose Mephiles shows him in is literally like a crucifixion and Mephiles is meant to be a demon / false prophet reference. And also he’s called a demon in Shadow The Hedgehog 2005 then the guy who calls him that is like “I was wrong I’m sorry” and that also reminds me of a thing with Jesus in The Bible. But the biggest reason is his whole thing with Maria cause I think he’d come to earth and hear Ave Maria once and convert to Catholicism idk he’s like we’re comforted by a female familial figure named Mary sometimes called Maria?? And her color is blue????? Heck yeah I’m in because I Will Cry. Also feel free to share this as propaganda obv even if he doesn’t get in the bracket just. It’s funny.
I feel like he’d battle a lot with being seen or portrayed as a demon and how the aliens he’s related to very much look and act like demons idk lmao- and also I feel like confession would just be good for him I think he needs it for his mental health
There is a debate on the lovely website tunblr that Shadow T. Hedgehog is an allegory for Jesus Christ.
He is Jesus, idk what to tell you. He lived, he was sealed away, he was awakened again and deemed the ultimate lifeforms, he’s angry but not evil, does what he believes is best for people and the world at any given time. Total loser.
