Some of my favourite parts of Batman adaptations are when we get to experience the sheer terror of what it’s like to come face to face with Batman from the mooks’ perspectives, especially when it’s early days and people are only just about waking up to the truth behind the myth. I can just imagine an analogue horror or a found footage thing about somebody piecing together the existence of Gotham’s “bat man” and the effect he’s had on the city.
Aspie frustration
Jan. 3rd, 2024 09:53 amI don’t think I’ll ever truly, properly understand people. Everyone always says stuff they don’t mean and mean stuff they don’t say. Generalisation and stereotyping and blind hate is bad except when it aligns with their own preconceptions and ideas. I’m taught to pick up litter and report anything unsavoury or problematic or upsetting to the proper authorities but then in practice I’m told no because sure it’ll all sort itself out in the end or just shut up. If I’m sick with or at risk of spreading COVID I should avoid close contact and wear a mask, except don’t because that’s just rude and masks just make people scared. I’m always told I should think for myself and make more assertive decisions, but then on the odd times I do muster up the arrogance or the confidence or whatever I’m told to shut up and just roll with it. It’s like social cues and proper etiquette is super obvious to everyone except me.
And I know I’m the problem and it really, really, really frustrates me sometimes. I’m like a robot, I don’t know how to do anything without being told what to do first, and I think maybe I’m too stubborn and too stupid to change but then when I say things like that I feel like I’m just not trying hard enough or I’m too scared to actually put any effort into being better.

Something new for me
Nov. 26th, 2023 01:12 amI’ve never properly committed to a diary or a journal before. I have a lot of feelings I want to unpack about things but I don’t know how to. I think I’ll vomit whatever comes out of my brain that I absolutely NEED to get out right here. That’s what dreamwidth was partially made for, right? It’s probably not wise doing it publicly, but bleh, like anybody’s gonna actually read this intentionally. And if they do I like having conversation and other perspectives.
Halo Evolutions — "The Mona Lisa"
Oct. 31st, 2022 11:20 amHalo Evolutions was a short story anthology collection based on the hit video game series Halo. Its stories have all since been adapted into motion comics for their companion apps. Given what day is today, I figured this would be appropriate, so if you’re in the mood for something spooky I recommend giving this a try. Happy Halloween!
