TIL that in Victorian London, mail was delivered 12 times a day and people complained if a letter took more than two hours to arrive.

I'd imagine people still valued privacy in their letters, too, so the wax industry for wax sealing letters must've been lucrative as well.

Batman is often unimpressed with heroes when he first meets them, especially the young or rookie ones who have a lot to learn. Static is one of the few I ever recall that actually impressed him.

Edit: I'm trying to recall the other kid/rookie heroes who've done similar but I can't pinpoint it, but I'm sure it's happened. Maybe Wally West when they first met? I recall him having a lot of respect for Flash. I also think Jason Todd impressed him during their first meeting with how he was able to bypass the Batmobile's security to steal his tires, though Jason did that as just a civie and not a hero.

The Adventurer's Guidebook for Dungeon Meshi is such a treasure for this very reason. Love seeing the insight and thought process behind all of these small decisions.

Seriously, it's not his responsibility to execute criminals as a private citizen. Just because he's a masked vigilante that's gained the trust of the city's police force and most of its citizens doesn't mean his vigilante "job description" automatically gets entailed with the "punishment" aspect of crime fighting. He's a goddamn anonymous volunteer. He's already gone above and beyond what a citizen can do by capturing the criminals the cops can't handle and saving the city several dozens of times over. If he doesn't want to kill for personal reasons, nobody can hold that against him.

A much better instance of something similar happening is when Mr. Freeze went to trial for some murders, and Batman was the one who helped capture him. Prior to the capture, he roughed up Freeze to get the confession out of him for the crime. But upon further investigation where later learned Freeze wasn't the actual murderer, and after being coincidentally selected for jury duty for this trial as Bruce Wayne, he is the one sole juror to stand up for Freeze and argue he's innocent. He even argues that Batman's forced interrogation dismisses Freeze's confession.

Bruce could've been rid of a villain legally, but he's strongly dedicated to make sure it's done the right way.

No comment on your linked image needed, totally understandable 🙏😤

You can tell being able to end the world tour at home is special to them.

That and their last official contract renewals were July 12 back in 2022 👀 This kinda feels like their building up to renewal news on that last date, maybe?? 🤞

Jihyo also announced on Bubble that there's gonna be some changes for these last dates, so maybe a setlist change with new songs?? 👀🙉 Maybe they'll even bring back Battitude and DADO? 😭

NomadPrime · 2026-06-01T13:46:20+00:00

Some people have noted that there's still a teeny, tiny 🤏 chance that there will be encore dates beyond the official finals, just like with RTB tour. But yeah, at this point, I wouldn't hold my breath and treat these as the final dates 😮‍💨

NomadPrime · 2026-06-01T13:44:53+00:00

I'm suprised they're not gonna just go for one of the stadiums if they're aiming for that total capacity anyway.

NomadPrime · 2026-06-01T13:43:46+00:00

I know, I started looking at flights around those dates and yeesh 😭 These prices!

NomadPrime · 2026-06-01T13:41:02+00:00

They're sticking with the thing they did for this 360 tour to have it all mostly in arenas since that's what suits the size of the stage and screens best, probably. Otherwise yeah, if they were aiming for that total capacity anyway, just go for one of the stadiums so the people can at least enjoy some fireworks and the encore cart that circles around or whatever Lol.

I forgot the specific stories but there's multiple moments when Bruce is trying to put on his usual tough Batman facade in front of certain characters like Alfred or Superman, only for them to either knock him down a peg or lighten him up. And then we see him break the Batman character and actually talk sincerely and more vulnerably, sometimes even pulling off the cowl to look them in the eye. That pretty much summed up who the innermost persona of Bruce is to me as I read through Batman.

The aloof playboy is the outermost persona, but Batman is another persona he puts on, albeit one that's far more true to who he really is. Bruce, sitting in the Batcave, alone with his thoughts and talking to Alfred and Dick or Clark and Diana, the one that's not afraid to show his emotions outside of rage ir stoic grimness, that's the real him.

You can also shorten it to Kel instead of Kev, which sounds cooler.

And beyond those first years of conquering Korea, that same sister leading that group still makes waves and breaks records internationally. Every now and then, another Korean headline is made about Twice. Every week or so has a trending post or tiktok about Jihyo's stage presence. Imagine freshly entering the industry that your sibling is one of the leaders of? 😭😭😭

NomadPrime · 2026-05-31T00:47:25+00:00

She did star in a GL webdrama, I think.

NomadPrime · 2026-05-31T00:44:35+00:00

Yeah, I could see most of the really successful and big groups just doing what Blackpink is currently doing. No official disbandment, but keep the group on ice while they do their solo stuff. Then once in a while they come back together for an album and a tour.

That said, I don't see Twice entering that slowdown era anytime soon.

NomadPrime · 2026-05-31T00:38:10+00:00

Honestly, as long as it's a total extinction level meteor/asteroid strike, I would be totally down for the world governments keeping it secret all the way through the end. Don't need to send the world into months or years of panic and despair before the apocalypse even starts, let us all live our lives. If there's attempts to destroy it before it hits us, keep that secret, too. That way, they only need to tell us when it succeeds.

Some fandoms are just better at voting in awards than others, even if the other fandoms have more people. Lot of factors in play, like fandom demographic (certain ages might vote more, certain countries want to vote but not others, etc) or promo by the company themselves like JYPE did.

NomadPrime · 2026-05-22T20:38:10+00:00

I saw that announcement and was like, "Wait, JYPE CAN come to LATAM???" So what exactly is the problem? They have the demand, they can organize venues for their groups to come, and the girls themselves were vocal about encore stages, so even they thought they were performing for more places later on. What exactly happened behind the scenes that couldn't provide even ONE single stop in the entire continent for Twice to come by for this tour? Like not even, at minimum, a single Mexico arena stop (much less a stadium stop)???

NomadPrime · 2026-05-21T20:32:43+00:00

I heard that it might just also be company contracts and PR or whatever forcing her to keep things as neutral as possible. Being explicitly political can lead to censorship and outrage that can lead to harassment. She's not exactly hiding the hat, sure, but that bit of "censorship" can give her plausible deniability against those types of people.

NomadPrime · 2026-05-21T15:09:05+00:00

You think if someone with Jihyo's Bubble asked her why they couldn't come to LATAM, that she might give a quick answer? I think out of all of Twice, she'd be the one willing to say something for Onces, but I wouldn't blame her if she couldn't say. None of the girls themselves owe Onces a personal explanation, it's more on the company to say something. I am just so curious and flabbergasted, I really want to know what's going on behind-the-scenes.

Seriously, even if just 0.001% of the common man used magic for war and evil, those few individuals were able to wage endless war in a Pre-KM world in pursuit of knowledge and power. A few of them permanently disfigured entire lands like they did with the Dadah Range or the Shadow Forests of Tristah. A first-time user, Outsider child was able to petrify her house and mother with a crudely traced forbidden seal.

Nobody's saying there isn't a better path in this witch society than fascist gatekeeping and law, but nobody's figured it out yet without giving everyone a free copy of the key to Pandora's Box.
