I’m freaking out and I need someone to talk me down.”
“Are you sure? I’m the opposite of the person you should be calling for something like that.”
“Well, I have no social life, so you’re my only friend,” May says. “After you, my closest relationship is with the woman who delivers my sushi.”

Tony Stark: official secret-keeper for the Parker family, for some unfathomable reason. And sure, it’s nice that they both trust him. But why can’t they ever just talk to each other. This family needs a new M.O.Bookmarked by themichaelvan

Summary
“If Ra’as wants something, he can ask me himself,” Bruce said, through gritted teeth.
“My father wants nothing yet,” Talia replied. “But your answer confirms my understanding. You are the ideal — no, the only — person I can ask. I need you to help me find someone, Bruce. I need you to help me find the person who tried to kill my beloved.”
Beloved.
That word stung, although part of Bruce recognised that it should not: although he had loved Talia passionately, that had been many years ago. They had both changed since then. It was only natural that she should move on with another, as he had with Selina.
“You seem confused,” Talia continued. “I speak of Bruce Wayne, of course. The one native to this universe."
Alternatively: the Bruce Waynes of two very different universes switch places.

[COMMENT: Jonathan Sims] Hubris is unwise in these matters. EXPERT OPINION.
-
[COMMENT: Aimee Lord] Mr Sims has marked all his comments as expert opinion, possibly due to a misunderstanding of #2 in the "read me" section? @Lucy.Patel can you check whether this is clinically relevant advice or just Mr Sims being "colourful"?
-
[COMMENT: Lucy Patel] Mr Sims is still out of office with no known return date. Spoke to Martin Blackwood, Archival Assistant, who advised that if Mr Sims is warning against hubris, it should probably be taken seriously.Series

Fun fact: interview-based research typically has to go through ethical review, and while oral histories have generally been exempt, that is less and less the case.

I hope you find your new role as Head of the Institute as rewarding as captaining the Tundra, wrote Elias Bouchard, to Peter Lukas. There are so many people working there: all with their own interesting lives, and all desiring your attention and support. I'm sure you will relish the challenge it will bring and enjoy every moment spent with the fine men and women of the Institute. In time I'm confident they'll become like a family to you.

Bruce's mortal enemy is not, in fact, the Joker—nor is it any other of his rogues gallery—but instead some bitch named Cheryl Bradford in the PTA whom he has had the utmost displeasure of working with for the past two decades because he keeps having children but so does she.

Summary
When Jessie, James, and Meowth show up on the doorstep of Professor Kukui’s beach house, Ash is understandably… confused. No tricks, they promise—they wanted out, and Ash was the only one they knew they could trust.
Of course he’ll help them, even if it means embracing the very things he’s ran from for most of their journeys together. He has connections—unused, but still valid—but for them, he’d use them. After all, they’ve always been there, every step of the way.
Other than Pikachu, they’re the only ones who have always been there.

AITA For lying about my age and life and other such things? by Synth_Bandie_17

Summary
Akari had just quelled the lord of the hollow when they realized the arc phone had a new feature…
Reddit.
And well, when they’ve been lying to everyone in Hisui about their age, gender, where they’re from, and why they’re so close to pokemon, can anyone blame the kid for asking people living in a normal world what their thoughts on the situation are?
Of course, posts timestamped as from 152 years ago and mentioning an amnesiac man who puts the train in trainer are going to attract more attention than a stressed kid expects.

Summary
Being famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Unfortunately, professional Pokémon battling comes with an unavoidable side of idol worship; as Diantha once described to the press, it’s a fame that spawns from a twisted cross of politics and heroism.
The world of professional Pokémon battling is also much smaller than one would expect. Through carefully constructed social media posts, the public eats up every interaction between their celebrities, especially the ones that probably shouldn’t know each other but somehow do. Behind the scenes and behind the screens, the acclaimed trainers are just trying to live their lives.
Galar’s Champion Gloria is 11 years old, a proud dog mom to a canine with a large sword, and has had net negative amounts of media training. Top Coordinator Dawn and Subway Boss Ingo have just returned to the present day, where they are quickly learning that their fame takes precedence over the fact they still can’t eat a pizza. The Trial Captains of Alola have what might be described as a dedicated fanbase at best, and a cult following at worst.
Oh, and the Battle fandom as a whole? Feral.

[From Tumblr]: Good cop bad cop but Jim Gordon (the good cop) is passed out from blood loss and exhaustion and Batman (the obvious bad cop) bundles everyone involved (including his kids) into a corner booth at a 24 hour diner and proceeds to interrogate the suspect over shitty diner coffee and the sounds of his kids force feeding Commissioner Gordon apple pie and french fries.
It's the most intimidating interrogation that has ever taken place in Gotham.
(or, the one where May’s Diner has seen everything Gotham has to offer at night. almost everything, at least)

Ectoscience wasn't just researched in the United States anymore; it had become the next global scientific race. While some countries explored it for the betterment of humanity, others had different ideas.
And that was how Valerie ended up here, babysitting Phantom—her goddamn ex—in Geneva for a clean energy conference. On top of that, she was supposed to present a paper written by the CIA, her new employer, to scientists and politicians they mingled with one day and spied on the next.
