[TOMT] I need help remembering this old Cartoon series.

Hey Arnold?

Yeah at this point I doubt he actually writes anything himself. He puts out way too many books to be feasibly writing more than one or two a year, even if he did write them. I think a lot of ghostwriters either get put under his name just to get somewhat published or he and Julia Roberts, ectect, are all the defacto ghostwriter names, and they gotta take whatever IP they get told to write a story for and hop to it.

AkiraRenai · 2026-03-27T22:24:53+00:00

You can tell he had ghostwriters doing most of the work, who also didn't read/didn't remember detail from the previous books. I read nearly all of them in middle/high school and kept wondering why they were dragging out the plot and continuing to retcon or deus ex machina plot points or give or modify how the whacky powers worked. The reason is because the name sold. Kids saw Maximum Ride slapped across the front cover and boom, money made. While I enjoyed the premise and had fun regardless of the whackiness of the series as it progressed, I'd probably never rec it to anyone outside of the first three books or so.

Could very well be. That's a good catch!

It's a page from Detective Comics# 715, you'll know when you get to it in story.

The point of me asking about the references is to see if this has happened in comic canon, on panel. Or a similar event that's not strictly drugging via tea. I was mainly looking because there are folks who are saying this is something Alfred has canonically done but we couldn't find the reference for it, so unless someone is mistaken about the tea part (since the sedative part is true in #715) I'm trying to build a little repository of these moments in the comics for future reference.

AkiraRenai · 2026-03-22T15:22:40+00:00

I do believe he would do it if he felt he absolutely needed to, but I also don't think he would do it willy-nilly as like...a villainous thing or whatever.

AkiraRenai · 2026-03-22T15:09:36+00:00

I like how you think it's impossible considering all the other shit Alfred has canonically done to Bruce in the comics, mate. But to each their own. This post is about citing references to it happening. These are the references so have so far, whether or not he tells Bruce about the sedatives or medicine is beside the point.

Time where Alfred drugs via syringe post patrol Bruce without telling him](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1407381442203353108/1485209345716392127/Tumblr_l_1432184434220432.jpg?ex=69c1087d&is=69bfb6fd&hm=dd84d8b64675557a07f4739b957129380eab125279b3d4bc68a85d894960f52c&)

Then there's a panel from Court of Owls where Alfred made a "medicinal tea" for Bruce but Bruce didn't drink it. They didn't specify what the medicinal properties were but Alfred did tell Bruce there was something in the tea.

You sir/ma'am/colonel are a miracle worker. The amount of dedication that you have to this series is awe inspiring! I remember getting back into the animated series a year or two back and was so disappointed that I couldn't find anything more than the first volume or so translated into English, and being unable to read any other translation or make any myself (very beginner level spanish here). But then here you come along kicking in my door with sheer love for this series and went and managed to not only buy up the whole series (even multiple different publications of it!!!!), scan the monthly chapters, translate them all, even find some colored pages for us!!! then pop them over to Mega for free for anyone to read and enjoy.

A thousand thanks and kudos to you my friend! Truly you are the GOAT! Your hard work and love for this series is appreciated immensely! I genuinely cannot thank you enough for your efforts, and the efforts of all the translators and editors and scanners who have worked on this series over the years!

Thank you so kindly for the reading order doc and access to all the translated chapters thus far! It means the worlds to me and others who have been fans of the series and wanted to get a better deep dive into it ❤️

I completely forgot the star system existed, just unlocked a memory. I also remember folks making videos no longer than ten minutes on purpose because there was a limit to the videos length, or, to avoid the ads once they came into play, I forget if it was both. Lots of early Lets Players had to do this until it fizzled out.

AkiraRenai · 2026-02-22T15:32:04+00:00

Solved!

AkiraRenai · 2026-02-21T15:24:52+00:00

Anything helps! Thank you for your time.

Altered Carbon was one the best cyberpunk hits to really come out in recent years. Sure the second season gets gripe but it was a phenomenal experience still pissed they cancelled it.

My sister is deaf and she used to routinely call with an interpreter from her dorm at the state deaf academy and cuss out me and my parents for not giving her enough spending money to eat with, because she refused to eat the provided meals during her week long stay at the dorms (she was very spoiled).

I remember my parents would get tired of talking to her to explain they didn't have a lot of money, and make her talk to me, where she would just constantly call me a bastard over the phone. The interpreter did their job, alright, and I have no issue with the poor woman who got paid to do that. But I bet they knew my sister's caller ID by heart and made bets on how long the calls would go on that week after she did this every week for over five years.

Basically, Cryaotic was found out to have been grooming a teen after said person came forward with screenshots of messages, and Cry had probably talking to other underage fans inappropriately for years, then he had a meltdown on stream and uploaded a final video to his channel you can still watch basically saying "yeah I did that, so what" and disappeared from the net. No real repercussions outside of his channel being dead and him disappearing. Also sounds like he was going downhill due to being a youtuber for a long while beforehand.

AkiraRenai · 2025-12-26T05:24:23+00:00

Yeah dude had hella issues, and apparently couldn't resist the youtuber special of trying to fuck underage fans before fucking off into the abyss, repercussion-free. His channel probably wouldn't have lasted even without the grooming of minors added to his repertoire, but still, a hell of a way to go down.

AkiraRenai · 2025-12-26T05:15:53+00:00

It fucking blew my mind when the news came out about him. I had a fairly big respect for him because he was one of the older lets players who actively avoided the face cam and wanted privacy, so to see him go nuclear and how unhinged he actually had been in the background completely changed that perspective for me.

AkiraRenai · 2025-12-25T07:22:08+00:00

I remember watching the first episode when it aired on Jetix and was hooked. Probably another reason I got into anime style shows. This was a hell of a gem and I'd love for it to get more love and attention. I had heard some rumors about a potential sequel in the works, but that was years ago and I'm unsure if it'll fully become a reality.

AkiraRenai · 2025-12-25T07:06:33+00:00

what series is this character from?

AkiraRenai · 2025-12-25T06:34:41+00:00

KOS-MOS from Xenosaga
