This is an important aspect of writing Bruce Wayne, I think. To acknowledge that he thinks about and cares about things like accessibility as part of what Wayne Enterprises does.

...there is no way the gradient on that ramp is shallow enough to work. Also looks very narrow.

I think I see what they were trying to do, but it's not really workable. They tried to take one of the staircases in Wayne Manor, split it in half, and make a ramp out of one half. But the thing about ramps versus stairs is that they need a lot more in the way of long to achieve the same amount of up, so you can't actually. You know. Do that. What Wayne Manor actually needs is elevators.

Fortunately, Bruce has enough money to have them put in. At least in the regular part of the house. Running an elevator down to the Batcave is a far more fraught issue because, I mean, who do you ask? Who can you trust not to spill the beans on something like that? Supes has the raw strength to do the construction work by hand but he is not certified for it, and furthermore after all the stories he's written as Clark revealing nasty OSHA violations in companies across the nation, he's hardly going to go and violate OSHA regulations himself, come on, he has standards. Flash doesn't actually have super-strength and furthermore thinks that maybe it should be a pneumatic tube of some sort because that's more high tech, and maybe it should have a way of putting on your costume as you drop through it?

I think in the end maybe Alfred finds a mysterious crew of individuals who come in, put in the elevator, and leave without a word. He tells Bruce to never ask.

Wayne-owned buildings; that's not Wayne Manor that's a cheap apartment block. Look at the damage on the floor, the cracks in the walls.

The Batcave I think canonically has elevators and since before Oracle, by which I mean 'in some depictions'. But this isn't about the one-off special events of the world: it's about the cheap apartment blocks where ordinary people live, some of whom can't walk up stairs.

It really says something that a lot of monogamous people consider polyamorous and aromantic to be "opposites" but every polyam person I know took one look at aromantics and said "they're just like me for real"

Poly folks x aro folks in the sense that "alloromantic heterosexual monogamous people view love and sex as an entirely different entity than me, and that makes life kinda strange"

Hmm. In the grand schema of exploits "vanilla enchantments that are supposed to be blocked in the plug-in but aren't" is more like season 3 than season 4, and Zam did join the Cleansers, said like i learned that earlier than today

but lying. (note to self derap could still change his mind and tell zam) Hmm. Season 4 flashbacks are exactly why Zam would talk to him

I think if he finds out then either Zam thinks it's fair enough and Derap or both of them uses it or Zam suggests that's bad and Derap immediately folds and pretends he never really wanted to.

...also I did not see it before Derap hid everything but this one surviving clip looks like he literally just enchanted it through the anvil in the most normal way and now I'm wondering if it's literally even exploiting or if they just changed the restrictions and forgot to notify everyone yet. 😂

Since you can't seem to swing a cat without knocking over a fairytale retelling that centers a different character from the original lead, you know who I want to hear from? Bluebeard's first wife.

Because, like, you can assume that every wife before the one we follow fell into the same trap of finally opening the Forbidden Closet of Mystery and discovering the hidden corpses, and was then killed to protect the secret...but the first wife would have no corpses to find. So why did he kill her?

Was it just for her money, and that's how he became rich enough to woo all the others? Was she getting ready to leave him for whatever reason? Did she cheat? Did he cheat, and kill her in the confrontation after she found out? Does he have some sordid criminal past even before his string of uxoricide, and when she found it, he killed her to protect that? Did he simply, over time, come to find her odious?

I know this was never a consideration in creating the story, and it doesn't really need to be, but...what goes on?

“Holy shit, though,” said Cynica again, “you have to know that none of this was normal.”

Bluebeard’s big, humorous face looked like a melting gargoyle, his mobile bearded face contorted in such a grimace of agony and wild eyes. “Please don’t judge me!” He moaned, clapping his hands on either side of his face. “It got to be so AWKWARD.”

This is the most interesting Bluebeard take I have ever read, and now I really want to know the answer to that question.

The world border in the End was already expanded past 5k at some point; Kaboodle went elytra-hunting, flew past that, and ran into two or three unlooted End cities in a row

Restocks being allowed—I'm lowkey not surprised, it feels like every significant fight for the last while has involved a "can we restock?" "yeah" chat exchanged. Might as well make it official. I'm in favour, let's see what happens.
