My Favorite Post-EPIC Headcanon Is That Odysseus' Family Is Just Completely Accepting Of All The Unhinged

one of the biggest lies the fandom with tell you is that alfred pennyworth is a good man.

he’s horrible. people just don’t realize he’s horrible because they’re all too focus on the superhero’s.

not many people in the fandom know this, but alfred literally has a daughter. her name is julia. why does no one know about julia? BECAUSE HE ABANDONED HER. it’s canon that he chose the wayne’s over his OWN CHILD. when she’s introduced in the comics she hates her dad because he abandoned her in england to raise a child that wasn’t even his.

the infamous jason “a good soldier” memorial? yeah, alfred did that. bruce wanted it taken down. alfred also left jason’s destroyed robin suit on display.

alfred is the reason tim is robin. dick and bruce are trapped by two-face and alfred just… gives tim a robin costume and sends him on his way. no formal training. no nothing.

every blame dick for damian becoming robin? wrong. it was alfred. dick was against it. alfred is the first one to give damian the robin costume, like he did to tim years before. dick did eventually choose damian as his robin, but that was while damian was ALREADY ROBIN. (he even tells tim that he doesn’t pick tim to be his robin because he considers tim to be an equal, not a sidekick, but i digress)

when bane breaks bruce’s back, alfred literally packs up and leaves. he travels. he just drops everything and goes to explore the world, until dick eventually hunts him back down.

it’s also a common theme that alfred couldn’t find the right balance between being a father figure and a butler, so he was constantly enabling bruce growing up (and still does) because technically bruce was his boss… even though he had custody of him.

edit: actually technically (in some runs) bruce’s uncle has custody of him but literally makes being absent an olympic sport But you get what i mean

Ultimate Spider-Man is underrated ‼️

Just finished ultimate Spider-Man and I have to say, I’m really going to miss this show.

This is one of the best adaptations of Spiderman and every second of him as Peter Parker and Spiderman was done so well.

There’s parts in this show that could’ve been done better, but overall it is such an incredible Spider-Man Series. The way there’s a lack of people mentioning it tells me it is wildly underrated.

If you’re a spiderman fan and have never watched it, please do❗️

This version of Spiderman represents the character so well and there’s just no way you can not respect it.

Ultimate spider-man, you are so loved🕸️

Also Nova, luke and white tiger <3

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job. 

yeah... yeah

Surrealist Edward James, was so besotted with his wife, the dancer Tilly Losch, that when he saw the trail of wet footprints she left up the stairs after her bath at Monkton House, he had them woven into the carpet.

Clint: When you'r gonna officially adopt Peter, Strak?

Tony: What?

Clint: I wanna be an uncle

Tony: Okay in first place, who said you would be the uncle if I had a child? and in second place... I'M NOT ADOPTING PETER!

Clint: That's not fair! I let you be my children's uncle when you first met them! 😡

Tony: What!? when?- I someday?- YOU'R AVOIDING THE MAIN TOPIC!

Nat: But hey Tony, I wanna be an aunt too

Tony: ???? WT-

Nick: You're putting off this adoption too long, Stark

Tony: Furry, stay out of this, even if I really adopted Peter you wouldn't be his uncle

Steve: Does this apply to me too? :(

Tony: YES

Sam: Me?

Tony: Absolutely

Bucky: I'm not even gonna ask

Tony: Smart

Peter: I won't call any of you uncle

Everyone: 😟

Peter: Except Scott

Scott: :D

Peter: Uncle Scott is cool

Scott 😁

okay so I've seen plenty posts about Spiderman meeting the Batfam but I am severely lacking in Spiderman meeting the rest of the DC JL content Like Seriously

Imagine him meeting Superman and talking about the responsebility one has to take on with powers such as theirs Sure they differ in a lot of ways but in the end they are still not entirely human (anymore) and have to live with that Their powers are a gift and a burden all the same

Or Spiderman and Flash Two likeable, quippy superheros who do their absolutel darndest to make the world a better place both their costumes are red and they are both pretty damn fast (of course Flash is faster but I would wager to bet that upon meeting for the first time Flash did try to blitz Peter and Peter was able to dodge because Flash didn't take him serious enough and went relatively slow) They would crimefight while putting on a comedy show and in the end they'd still show compassion to their enemies

All I'm saying is Give me some more nuance with these posts please yes the thought of Peter gaining yet another super rich father figure and some quasi siblings is sweet but there is more to all this

(this goes for other character crossovers too btw Spiderman was just the first that popped into my head)
