I have connected the dots

Since Commander Cressida is a big franchise in-universe, I bet there's live-action movies of questionable quality based on it. The older ones, made in the 80s, were cheesy but camp. The newer ones made since the 2010s are gritty and boring (think the DCEU). Sydney and Dr. Skelley have a soft spot for the 80s movies. When Sydney can't sleep, she turns on one of the 2010s movies, and boom, she's out like a light.

i feel like the line that writers are not willing to cross when it comes to bruce and gordon’s relationship is allowing either of them to reach the natural conclusion of recognizing the system as permanently rotted, but esp gordon bc he is within the heart of it. while not perfect i wouldn’t entirely mind gordon trying to fix the system from within if it led him to a realization that he realistically cannot do that (because even if he helps change individual people, the system that benefits and facilitates their inclinations towards senseless violence is still there) and so pursuing other means or avenues of justice is what he should move towards instead. i understand writers maintain bruce’s connection to gordon as a sort of in to crime scenes and the upper echelons of gotham society etc but the more i think about it the more i question why having this in is even necessary when bruce has barbara. if she can hack and gain access to things at a federal level then what’s stopping her from doing the same at a municipal level? not to mention the way bruce’s social network expands over the years should allow him more access to the spheres he’s trying to infiltrate 

i just don’t think gordon is a character whose position as commissioner should be seen as viable or worth maintaining in the long term and to me not just bruce but the batman mythos in general would benefit more from centering people like leslie thompkins as important allies instead. before war games leslie was a beacon of bruce’s inclinations towards philanthropy and was constantly used to emphasize that while bruce understood he needed to use violence now he didn’t want that to be the case forever and was in agreement with leslie on working towards a day where vigilantes like him would no longer be needed. leslie could theoretically be an avenue through which to move bruce towards embracing a more abolitionist stance than is already subtly implied by the dedication he has towards investing in charities and trying to help uplift financially disadvantaged communities in gotham and if their relationship with and respect of each other was more valued by comic writers rather than mutilated to create empty lecturing points for bruce than we could return to a more hopeful bruce and a more hopeful batman in general 

Can we consider Wolfwood with short hair, like even shorter, please.

the thing about deku is that dudebros hate him until he's doing something stereotypically GOAT-worthy like acting like a badass and evading the law and not letting his emotions slip through and it's like... yes. he did do that. he does do that. and that's probably why dudebros latch onto him nowadays because they want to be him, especially because so many of them think that deku and ochako and/or other female characters are destined to be together (through entirely shallow reasons) — but they miss the point.

his inability, or rather his lack of desire to, unlock deeper, more vulnerable, more selfish emotions is not because he's the so-called GOAT, the pinnacle of the sigma grindset bullshit masculinity by hiding his feelings and getting results in an edgy, emotionally unavailable way. no. it's because he cares too much, not too little. he cares so strongly, so aggressively, so softly, so painfully, for the people around him. he's the idealistic version of a hero because he cares, more than anyone, to the point where he'll break his body to pieces. and he projects those emotions outward so much, he doesn't leave any of that care for himself. he chooses not to address selfish thoughts and moments because he's not the one who deserves them. which is why even when he was in his super edgy, dark vigilante look, he was motivated not by anything superficial like money or success, but his own powerful feelings towards helping others. deku is, through and through, a deconstruction of the stoic, apathetic, violence-familiar, strictly goal-oriented view of toxic masculinity. he fights and kicks villain butt because he cares. he also cries and breaks down and smiles and loves with all the warmth in his heart because he cares.

and i think it's really funny that even when deku is "the GOAT" for his surface level grindset outlook, he's still just deku. the deku dudebros would complain about for crying too much and being a wimp is the same deku as the one who selflessly defeated villains during his vigilante era. he didn't "man up" and do a total 180 mentally, he just happens to have layers to his emotional ineptitude. it fucking rocks. not like dudebros would have the brain capacity to understand that, though
