I THOUGHT JUNE WAS OVER

Just finished watching Batman bad blood and I want to know what kind of potatoes DC pulled to make a movie that good

The Justice League and their personal policies on swearing

Superman: never ever, mostly due to getting his mouth washed out with soap for so much as 'dang' as a kid

Batman: he adjusts it to suit the audience,but it's VERY moderate even in purely adult company.

Wonder woman: found out about swearing during WWI, and swears when she thinks the situation deems it appropriate, no matter who's around

Flash: he'll go as far as s**t and no farther. Not on purpose, he just kinda doesn't.

Green lantern (Hal Jordan): cuss cuss cussity cuss

Martian Manhunter: "I believe most humans would deem it appropriate to say '****' in this context"

Did you know you can play uno with normal playing cards? Just use the suits as colors, and they already have numbers. Assign the special powers like +2 or reverse to the face cards, and use the joker as a wild since it doesn't have a suit. My usual assignments are:

King: +4

Queen: +2

Jack: reverse

Ace: skip

every year after you turn 17 you get further away from being the age of the dancing queen and that’s my least favorite thing about growing up

LISTEN UP AGAIN KIDS STOP REBLOGGING THIS FUCKING GARBAGE POST. IT IS 100% FUCKING BULLSHIT AND CAN AND MOST DEFINITELY WILL LITERALLY KILL. DO YOU NOT SEE WARNING LABELS THAT SAY “DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING”? THEY AREN’T FUCKING AROUND. YOU CAN FUCKING BURN THEIR ESOPHAGUS BY CAUSING VOMITING, CAUSE CHOKING, DROWNING, OR MAKE IT WORSE! AGAIN DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING DOWN ANYONE’S THROAT. THEY. CAN. DROWN. IF SOMEONE IS LOSING CONCIOUSNESS ALL THE CHIT CHAT IN THE WORLD WILL NOT PREVENT IT AT THAT POINT THEY ARE IN SERIOUS DANGER. “Buuut i don’t wanna take them to the hospital!!!” WELL SUNSHINE GLAD YOU’D RATHER HAVE A DEAD FRIEND THAN A LIVING ONE BUT YOU’RE IN LUCK CALL FUCKING POISON CONTROL. THEY ARE NOT THE COPS. THEY WILL HELP YOU. AND IF THEY SAY GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL YOU GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL. NO EXCUSES. 0. NONE. I have seen this shit cross my dash SO MANY TIMES so PLEASE fucking reblog this and prevent some well meaning idiot from accidentally killing someone they love!

The founding of the Justice League- part 1

It's an alien invasion, he'd thought. Just your run- of-the-mill alien invasion, he'd thought. He'd been wrong. That's why he was standing with some other oddballs, trying to stop it when they had never worked together before. Mondays, amirite?

***

Let's go back to the beginning.

Days like this always seem to start more normally than other days. In fact, it was quite a peaceful day all over the world- truces in wars, friends hugging after years of feuding, etc... until around 11 a.m. It was first noticed over Nigeria- some spaceships partially blocking the sun. Soon enough, they had spread everywhere in the world.

Earth was almost used to alien invasions at this point. They happened once or twice a month. Everyone trusted the superheroes to stop it.

There was a voice coming from the sky, which was never a good sign. "Surrender now," it said. "Earth is ours. You are too primitive to resist. We will conquer all."

The aliens were right about one thing- it quickly became clear that Earth was outmatched. The alien ships seemed to be resistant to, well, everything. Heat vision, big green hammers, just straight getting punched at mach 27.

Swish! Flash heard something behind him. He knew even before turning around who it was.

"Superman."

"Hi."

"... What are you doing in Central City in the middle of an alien invasion?"

"We need to work together."

"I... what? Oh! That does make sense. Wha-"

Before either of them had time to think, Batman was standing there. "Agreed."

***

"I'm not really the best at teamwork," Wonder Woman admitted.

"Me either, but we don't have a choice," Superman replied. "I guess we need a plan."

"I've got one," Batman said. "We find where things leave... They've got to exist. We go in through there and disable the ship. That's very simple."

"Nope," Superman denied it. "I've been up there. It's all liquidy. Stuff comes out through the wall like it's a blob. It doesn't let anything in, I know that from... unpleasant experience." He shivered a bit.

"So what if we hijack one of their weird little pod thingies and use that?" Green Lantern suggested.

"And how do you plan to get in? I saw a weirdly shaped thing they had to put in when I got up close to one." Flash countered.

Batman mentally facepalmed. Honestly, doing this with Robin would be easier...

"Like this?" Green Lantern asked, smiling. After a bit of deliberation and two bits of arguing, he had approximated the shape as a construct, and the Flash looked a bit flustered about forgetting who he was teaming with.

And now to find something to use it on...

Bat Family is Multilingual

While that seems like an obvious observation, not enough people talk about it, either on this site on anywhere else. But yeah, the Bats are a polyglot household. And for those that grew up speaking more than one language, we all know the mayhem that brings.

You know the "spanglish" and "portenglish" that we create? It's on another level at the Wayne residence. Conversations switch languages every sentence, for their dialect of gibberish to anyone outside of it.

For example, the conversation goes: English -> Spanish -> Swahili -> Aramaic -> Mandarin -> Portuguese -> Patuá (Macanese Patois) -> Romani -> Navajo -> Kryptonian -> Coptic -> Arabic -> Doric Greek (Greek from Sparta) -> Griko (Greek dialect in Italy) -> Cherokee -> Vietnamese -> Nahuatl -> Hebrew -> Back to English

Also, they switch languages depending on what they're cooking and proceed to shout it across the kitchen. The loudest The Latin ones and Arabic.

Even sign language is multilingual. The family has their version of it (created by Cass, which uses more body language and movements that show things and feelings instead of words), but they switch between American, British, French, New Zealand, Irish, Brazilian, Maritime, Hong Kong, Inuit, Ka'apor, and even Plains Indian SL on the daily basis. It's so varied that for an outsider, it just looks like their gesturing half the time.

And honestly, I think it all started with an angry Bruce learning French and German from Alfred.

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

Save what’s left of us. 🙏💔

Hello there, 🙏💔

I’m reaching out with a heart full of both hope and hardship. 😔 My family and I are in Gaza, and life has become a daily struggle due to the ongoing devastation and conflict. 💔🌪️ We’re doing our best to get by, but even the basics are difficult to come by. 🍞💧

I know that people around the world have shown great compassion to those affected by crises. 🌍💙 If you’re able to support us with even a small contribution, like 10 euros, it would truly make a world of difference. ✨🙏 This support would help us meet our needs and take a step closer to finding safety. 🕊️ Our only hope now is to leave Gaza for a safer place where we can rebuild our lives and look forward to a more peaceful future. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️❤️

If you were in my place, facing what we face every day, what would you do? Any kindness you can offer would be a light in this darkness.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any kindness you can offer. Your compassion means more than words can say, and we deeply appreciate it. 💖🙏

With all my gratitude and best wishes for peace for you and your loved ones, 🌈🕊️
