Damian & Duke Bonding? There are not enough of those in the world. Maybe this planet would be a better place if there was.
Duke: I'm heading out.
Bruce: Where?
Duke: Just hanging out at the museum with my friends.
Bruce: Good, then you can take Damian.
Duke: What? Why?
Damian: I have a paper due on Friday.
Duke: Ugh, fine.
Bruce: And remember, Duke, you're older so it's your responsibility to keep him safe.
Duke: Whatever.
[at the museum entrance]
Duke: You know the deal. Just stay out of my way.
Damian: Not to worry, I don't need anyone to supervise me.
Damian: *snatches his ticket and walks away*
Duke: That's a relief.
[dinosaur exhibit]
Duke: ...Yeah, then the principal said—
Duke: *sees Damian climbing a T-Rex skeleton*
Duke: Hey, look over there!
His friends: *look the other way*
Duke: *flips over the dinosaur and grabs Damian*
Duke: *puts Damian down and runs back to his friends*
Duke: Whoops, thought I saw something. Guess I was mistaken.

Dre, snickering: Uranus. Get it?
Riko: Oh yeah. Hilarious.

Duke: I'm getting a phone call, one sec.
Duke: *grabs a ladder and meets Damian*
Damian: Can I help you?
Duke: *sighs and slings Damian over his shoulder*
[biodiversity exhibit]
Izzy: ...So I told my brother that, but still...
Damian: *leans over a railing*
Duke: *slips away and pulls Damian back before he falls*
Duke: You're lucky that shark's not real.

Damian: I would have simply adopted it.

Steph: Next!
Damian: I will have a vegan burger, apple juice, and cookie.
Steph: Sorry, kiddo, we just sold our last cookie.
Damian, disappointed: Oh, alright. I'll just take the burger and juice.
Duke, to his friends: I'll be right back.
Duke: *hands Damian the cookie*
Duke: How's the paper coming?
Damian: I believe I've gathered what I needed.
Duke, ruffling Damian's hair: Cool, just stay out of any more trouble.
Damian: Tt.

Damian, writing: Of the many things at the Gotham Museum, the one that stood out the most is my big brother...
the colors are diff from my laptop 😔 (im uploading through my phone if anyone knows how to fix this with krita please tell)
I have just discovered something world altering and possibly evil
We write many stories about humans dying out in a nuclear war and afterward the world is populated by disgusting things like cockroach people, or rat people, but the crazy thing is that it actually happened
For dinosaurs the apocalypse happened and we are the rat people, quite literally. The only mammals at the time of the dinosaurs were like tiny rats. If they saw us, and elephants, and giraffes, and whales, they would just see rats twisted in horrifying ways to fit the roles of dinosaurs
Once I thought about that, I never saw the world in the same way, man. It's like everything around me is taken from a page of the book "All tomorrwos"
But then again, we rat people think we and all the other deformed rats are beautiful. Come to think of it, dinosaurs would be horrified in similar ways by looking at birds, but birds are beautiful too
The world recovered from the apocalypse, and it became beautiful again, even if it's really weird, and I guess that was the point of the book "All tomorrows"?
Maybe life always finds a way to be beautiful. Maybe the cockroach people will be really beautiful once we get to know them
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk
Mr. Gregory: I should've left you on street corner where you were standing!
Alice: But ya didn't!

"i was born in the wrong generation" I wasn't. i love existing at the same time as fan culture. i love knowing I can make a post saying "character a wears big ass pants and is obsessed with character b's thighs" and fifty percent of people are gonna agree with me while the other half call me a dumb bitch because of it. it's great.
There's so much that's insane about the scene in First Class where Charles is waiting for Erik, knowing he'd stolen the CIA files and was planning to run away. But upon rewatch what's getting me is realizing that in so many ways... in it, Charles is doing the same thing he did with Raven. As a child.
He catches her stealing, but realizes she's like him. And essentially, the next thing he does is provide. He tells her she can take the food, that she never has to steal again, because he'll give her what she needs. And in return she stays, in return Charles isn't alone in being different.
With Erik, it's even more intense, but it's the same. Charles believes that if he can provide, then people will stay. After saving Erik from drowning, Charles deep down thinks he's already owed staying. He tells Erik that he can help, and scoffs at Erik when he rebukes it. "Don't kid yourself. You needed my help last night. It's not just me you're walking away from," is a pretty crazy thing to say to a guy you literally just met, and with such bitterness. Then he empasizes how he could force Erik to stay, but won't... because "Shaw's got friends, you could do with some." It's once again a play on what advantage staying could give Erik.
Which is why Charles holding Shaw still, suffering through all that horrible pain, makes me want to chew glass. Charles had more than one option, if he didn't want to let things unfold the way they did. I always did wonder-- couldn't he have controlled Shaw so that he knocked Erik out, and then put him to sleep? Control Shaw's powers through Shaw? Put Shaw to sleep, period, and then never suffer what came after? But no, Charles literally chooses to serve Shaw to Erik on a platter, all while Erik's counting down. His revenge, the thing he wanted the most, frozen in place and aware as he died slowly.
But Erik doesn't stop at Shaw, doesn't change his way of thinking, doesn't choose Charles' path. All that Charles gave wasn't enough-- not for him, and not for Raven, who ultimately leaves him too.
say his name three times!
