“Poison Ivy” is the nurse who sedates him when he gets out of control
“Two-Face” is an abusive orderly who acts nice when the doctors are around and then beats up the patients when their backs are turned
“Riddler” is a therapist who asks him questions that he has a hard time answering
“Mad Hatter” is a hypnotherapist who Bruce is convinced is trying to brainwash him
and of course his arch-nemesis.. “Dr. Joe Car” and his assistant “Dr. Harleen Quinzel” see Bruce as their top patient, both desperately trying to bring the man back to sanity, and Batman will fight with all he has to protect gotham from “Joker” and “Harley Quinn”
Tumblr is known and also spoken of by its user base for its high proportion of lgbt+ users, but I'm curious as to if the lgbt+ user base is actually as large as though or if its just confirmation bias, so...
For fun if you want put how you identify in the tags and the part of tumblr you'd say you're here for

Let’s deal with the Facts, shall we? The show Doctor Who goes all the way back to the year 1963 and the spinoff Torchwood doesn’t air until the 2000’s. Even if these words from the show went before 1963, the most it would have went back was what? 1950’s? So why are these words from the show going at far back at the 17-1800’s? The show’s creators weren’t even born, planned or thought of back then, nor their parents , grandparents, or grandparents parents. How would any person, let alone the writers and creators of the show be able to explain this? Quite simple: They can’t. But I can: Everything Doctor Who and Torchwood is real. Because lets be honest: You may be right to not believe everything you see on the Internet but here is direct proof I did and you can even do yourself? Oh Google doesn’t give the whole truth you say? Try searching Gallifrey, Cybermen, those don’t show up until after 1960 which is 3 years before the show started. Try searching Slitheen. It doesn’t show up at all, neither does Weeping Angels. Who knows? Maybe it depends on capitalization or not. Either way? This is still very strange , you cant deny how weird it is and I dare you to try and explain it..
If Google was messing with us, then it would have done the same thing with Gallifrey, Slitheen , Weeping Angels, Timelord and Cybermen but it doesn’t. So… why the others? My belief as some others? Everything Doctor Who and Torchwood is real.
What she says: I'm fine
What she means: in the latest season finale of doctor who, it was said that Clara is now living in a sort of limbo between her second to last, and her very last heart beat. If what we saw of her death is inevitable(which it is) then that means that there will be a time in the future where Clara has to decide, that her time is over, and that she must go back to that moment to complete the timeline. Knowing this, it is inevitable that the writers will wait until we've accepted Clara as a "living" character again to FUCKING RIP OUR HEARTS OUT IN ONE EPISODE CENTERING AROUND THAT DECISION.
Seriously. 4 years ago, I’m cashiering at a whacky mart on a register that holds all the smokes and alcohol. It’s 10pm and these two young men (early 20s) come up to the counter. They have three random novelty items (I don’t remember they were), but it was strange and unusual to get odd items this late at night. Maybe it was for some fraternity, I don’t know. It’s a college town so I get weird stuff from frats a lot. I scan the items and tell them their total is $22.xx.
Grinning at each other, they reach into their jackets and slam down two gallon zip-lock bags, full of only pennies. I stare them in the eye, but they didn’t even look back at me. Everyone else in line groan and went to other registers. These two kids knew what they were doing, but they didn’t know what they were in for because I prepared for this; I knew this was going to inevitably happen. I grinned with them, because I was gonna get paid during this. These pranksters are here for recreation. This convo occurs between Me, Ringleader (the other guy was silent and awkward), and a friendly coworker of mine.
Me: Is this $22.xx?
Ringleader: …
Me: Did you count it?
Ringleader: Nope.
Me: Are you going to?
Ringleader: Nope.
Me: Is it at least $22.xx?
Ringleader: Don’t know.
Me: Nice.
Coworker: Hey! You guys can use the self checkout. It can take all of your coins at once.
Me: Oh, don’t worry about it Cowor–
Ringleader: Nope, don’t trust them lady. (Partner laughs)
Coworker: What? Why!?
Ringleader: Doesn’t count all your change right.
Coworker: I’ve used them before. It really works!
Me: (to Coworker) I got this.
I unpacked the ziplocks and threw all the pennies on the counter. It was a beautiful, massive shitstorm of a mess. And I digged in it. I was Frank in a dumpster in ‘It’s Always Sunny’. The two, still averting my gaze, start chuckling as if they were taking away my dignity. They whisper to each other “Dude oh my God,” “Dude yeah,” “Dude, hilarious.” I counted each penny, one by one. My coworker comes up to me.
Coworker: Guess I’ll help you count this.
Me: Don’t worry about it.
(She looks at me confused. Then she puts on her ‘get down to busy’ look.)
Coworker: I got your back.
Me: Oh…ok.
We worked up a system where we counted ten, put them in a pile, then with ten stacks of ten pennies we separated them, making $1 piles. We made progress slowly but surely. Some customers came to the line, but we advised them to get to another line. Some of them looked at us confused, but when they saw the counter full of pennies they understood. Some decided to wait, but when they realized it wasn’t going to take just a few minutes they took their leave. Another register in the liquor department opened so it wasn’t too bad for other customers. We get to about $12 (about 10min in) until I “knocked” over the piles.
Coworker: Neontonsil!
Me: Oops. Sorry.
(Coworker looks at my grin. I give her a wink and tilt my head, motioning her to leave)
Coworker: You know what, I think I better let you do this.
Me: Ha, alright.
(Coworker leaves. I look at the two guys. They are absolutely stunned at the fallen piles of pennies.)
Me: (To Ringleader) Yeah, I’m going to have to count all of this again.
Ringleader: ….Ok.
I started from zero. I count slower then ever, and made my way back up. The duo is entirely silent. I get to about $7, when suddenly I say:
Me: Drats. I lost count. I better start all over again.
Ringleader: Really?
Me: Oh yeah man.
Ringleader: Why!?
Me: I lost count, sir. I could be in trouble if my register doesn’t have the right amount of cash, and I don’t want to rip you off.
Ringleader: …
It’s about an hour later. My manager walks past, looks at me. I smile at him, and he looks at the counter. He walks away without a word. I eventually count all the change and surprisingly they had only $18!
Me: Hmm, I think that this is $18.
(The duo has been dead silent. They look done for the night.)
Me: I’ll recount it.
I fucking recounted it.
Me: I think this is actually $19.xx.
(Without a word, the Ringleader whips out a $5)
Me: Seriously? You had cash?
Ringleader: Needed to get rid of my change.
Me. No problem. I’ll just recount this again. I want to make perfectly sure that this is $19, since I counted $18 the first time.
Ringleader: Are you kidding me?
(I shake my head no, completely serious)
He takes out a $20 bill straight out of his pocket and throws it at me. My coworker gives the biggest WHAT THE FUCK face. Internally, I die as well, because they were smart enough to have a backup plan. And the fact that he was touching his cash in his pocket the entire time kinda messed with me. I take the cash, do the transaction, give him his change, thanked him and wished him a good night. The two start to put their pennies back in the ziplock bags and I didn’t help them at all. I watched them just as how they watched me. Lots of pennies dropped to the floor, but they didn’t care to pick them up. It looked like their souls were sucked out of them. It was past midnight and I clocked out way past when I was supposed to. A lot of my coworkers gave me a thumbs up or told me good night. Even my manager told me ‘good job,’ the only two words he ever said to me. Went to bed at the dorms after such a great petty penny night and crashed. Strange to say, but I’d love to count pennies again.
TL;DR I recounted 1900 pennies like 5 times. Was it 5 times? I better count again.
“we live in an uncaring universe” yeah dude and I live in an uncaring house. and I shit in an uncaring toilet. but do you touch an uncaring lover? do you comfort an uncaring child? do you guide to sleep each night a cold and uncaring self?
John: cute overload
People don’t usually understand this
i figured out why i look so bad in pictures!! im ugly
I figured I will throw in my 2 cents about the 13th Doctor’s impending announcement because opinions and all that.
I think the announcement is a terrible idea.
Firstly, there’s the obvious reason of how disrespectful it is to Peter. I’ve seen a lot written about that on here, so I’m not going to go on about it. He deserves better.
The second reason is, there’s no way for this to be a positive thing for the show. We’ve all seen the fandom make judgements about new Doctors and companions before we’ve even seen them in character. Sometimes they’re positive, sometimes they’re negative. But the problem is they’re opinions based, not on how good the actor is as the Doctor (or a companion etc), but they’re based on how the actors look: age, skin colour, gender, etc. Sure, maybe some people will have an opinion based on the actor’s previous work, but there are going to be a lot of judgements flying around based simply on what we see on the surface. (I saw a lot of people calling Bill the “best companion ever” before we even got a trailer which seemed very premature to me - funnily enough, I think she’s actually become my favourite “main” companion in new Who). People are going to be judging 13 before we’ve even seen them in character. We’ve then got 5 months until we even see the actual regeneration scene and then several more months before the next series. How many fans are going to leave during that time? How many wars in the fandom are there going to be over whether the actor playing 13 is “problematic”? How many people will be spreading hate about the show because the new Doctor isn’t the “right” gender (ie, what they wanted)? Honestly, I think the fandom is just going to be a nightmare. Can we not reserve judgement (negative or positive) until we actually see 13 on the show?
Following on from that point, one of two things is going to happen:
1. The Doctor is male. This will be followed by a large number of fans boycotting the show and trashing it online because they’ve demanded a female Doctor.
2. The Doctor is female. Then we’ll get the “the Doctor should only be played by a man” gang taking off and complaining about the show being “ruined”.
Either way, a significant number of “fans” (I’m using the term loosely here) are going to leave. That’s not going to benefit the show in any way. It’s just going to hurt the fandom and the show. There is literally no way for Doctor Who to come out stronger after the announcement this week. We’re going to have a fractured fandom. It’s a lose/lose situation. Whoever they announce, no matter how great they are, is going to be universally popular in the fandom. People are going to be disappointed no matter who it is.
And then the boycotts start because the next Doctor isn’t their idea of “right”. And you can bet that will be starting from the Christmas ep. They will be starting the boycott now which I think, again, is doing a huge disservice to Peter. He deserves to have an amazing send-off, not one that’s boycotted because people are unhappy about the next Doctor.
Here’s what I think they should do:
- Keep 13 a secret
- Film a scene (proper scene, not a quick “I’ve got new kidneys” type scene) with 13. Something that gives us an idea of what 13 is like.
- Either put it in the Christmas ep or as a trailer at the end
- Most importantly, give Peter the respect and appreciation he deserves. Anyone can see that man has given Doctor Who his all. Regardless of your opinion of him/his Doctor/the writing etc, he has given so much to Doctor Who, and he gets nowhere near enough gratitude.
I’ll see who the 13th Doctor is, because it’s going to be impossible to avoid that spoiler, but I’m going to say publicly here right now , I’m not making judgements about them, I’m not liking or disliking them or getting involved in any discourse about whether they’re right or not and I’m encouraging you all to do the same. They’re going out of my mind until after Christmas.
It’s still 12′s time and that’s what I’ll be focusing on.
