dcwomenkickingass:
Today is Grant’s birthday.
Aw dude, don’t be embarrassed. I got you a cake!
That cake is actually a metatextural reference to this cake:
Thomas is obviously a reference to Thomas Wayne. The black ribbon a reference to his … well you know, falling pearls and all that.

Which fictional character (any medium) do you most...

Who are the 3 Best Sidekicks Ever? Please feel...
Best Ever? That’s tough to pick out. Obviously, I’ve got to give a nod to Sir Kay, King Arthur’s foster brother, Seneschal, and all around grumpy buddy but I suspect Sir Gawain may take the prize from Arthuriana due to sidekicking for Lancelot, Perceval, Arthur himself, Kay, his father (the only time he was actually a squire), and just about any knight that a French romance...

psychotherapy:
Ask people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness – especially a serious one like Schizophrenia – what they think about media coverage of the issue and certain words come up time and again. Words like: ‘offensive’, ‘stigmatising’, ‘sensationalist’, ‘inaccurate’ and ‘distorted’.
