these are my thotz as someone who has been directly exposed to 2022 and 1966 batman within less than a month: there's a sweet spot between silly/gloomy ways to write bruce wayne, there's unpleasant extremes, and then there's the real extremes that are such weird little freaks that they make perfect sense
No, but I did think about the Ottoman empire a bunch. Vampire LARP does that to you sometimes.
one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does
The Original Evil Dead DVD had two commentary tracks, one for cast and one for the director. The Cast commentary had a few digs at what they imagined the director would be talking about "right now, he's going to be talking about that car. It's in the film for one shot, but it's his actual car and he loves it, even though it broke down twice in this scene". And they were right, he was.
sao fans invented a personality for kirito that he’s literally never had and then call reki a bad writer for… writing him with his real personality
Further lore-accurate facts:
Gura is 9000 years old in 2025, so clearly doesn't age and tends to not die - in 40k terms, she's a "Perpetual".
Also, she's nearly as old as the Emperor (estimated creation ~8000bce), only about a thousand years between them.
I'm fairly new to Warhammer 40k, and I just learned about Carcharodons literally a few minutes ago. And as I learned that they are a shark legion and that their origin and primarch are not confirmed I made the ultimate joke that shall now become canon in our ttrpg club.
They do indeed have their own primarch. The one that was considered disappeared and erased from history. The 2nd Primarch, the one that Emperor himself has kept a secret from all of his other children in fear that they will turn to heresy if they as much as lay their eyes upon that horrifying creature
The only daughter of the Emperor, the mother of Carcharodons...
Gawr Gura
Emperor has always kept her a secret from the entire Imperium in fear that all of his sons and Imperial citizens will start worshipping her instead of her.
And while other Primarchs were scattered around the galaxy by their mother, Gura has been yeeted into the farthest end of the galaxy by the Emperor himself just because he knew she'd be far more beloved and worshipped than him and couldn't possibly have that

The whole Weakness Of The Flesh Immortality Of The Machine conversation is fun... I really appreciate the point that in the modern real world technology is controlled by an ever-rotating pile of tech companies whose business model is predicated on obsoleting everything older than like 4 years. If you, the person reading this, managed to upload your consciousness to a file, it would struggle to interact and be read in, like, 10 years max. And if you rely on medical aids that are connected to computers and the internet, you are already facing that problem.
All that said, I cannot stress enough that obsolescence is not an issue for the in-universe source of the whole "from the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh" quote
I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
