“Give us one good reason.”
“I’ll give you the best reason: because we’re friends. Look, I know we razz each other all the time… but as the years go by, you’re gonna realise just how much this friendship… this time in our lives… means to all of us. ‘Cause I swear to you— it means the world to me.

Green Arrow's Chili, a panel masterpost

If you're a lantern you have no choice but to eat it, it's practically the law

If you go on a camping trip he WILL bring it as his only food source

It's so integral to who he is that he cooks it in the afterlife, it appears in dream sequences, and transcends the multiverse.

For over 50 years he's been cooking it for his family, or with them.

Especially for Dinah and Hal

and of course to celebrate a getting a good grade in being Robin Hood, something both normal to want and possible to achieve.

PERFECT FOR ALL OCCASIONS! ARE YOU A MALNOURISHED VILLAIN? CHILI! DETOXING? CHILI!! MID SEX MARATHON? CHILI!!!!! FRAMED FOR MURDER? CHILI!!!

CHILI!!!!!!!!

YOU BETTER LIKE IT, ITS ALL HE FUCKING KNOWS HOW TO COOK

please like it. and be nice about it. or no more chili for you.

I honestly get so fucking mad when people act like Bruce’s no-killing rule and iron conviction that everybody can get better is something dumb. Like why does everybody hate kind characters so much?? What’s wrong with being a good person? It’s not stupid or childish or naïve, and in a cruel world, it takes one heck of a lot of courage to be kind.

I fully get people being annoying that That GuyTM is still running around. But first of all, let’s be honest the reason for that is money. He’s popular, he sells books, he’s never ever under any circumstances going to get a permadeath (unfortunately). So if bats did kill him it would just become a whack-a-mole situation, where he keeps killing the guy, wacky scifi ensues, guys back, bats kills him again, rinse and repeat. Forever. It would get boring and stale really quickly.

But secondly, even if we agreed that the joker deserves to die (which y’all only do because you know that metacontextually he cannot and will not be reformed, something which in canon they cannot be certain of). Batman has ZERO obligation to carry out that execution. The idea that not only “Death Penalty = Good”, but also “therefore not wanting to be the executioner, or trying to prevent the execution from happening right in front of you is morally bankrupt” is, to put it mildly, fucked. If Bruce doesn’t wanna kill or watch someone be killed he doesn’t have to, end of. There is nothing morally wrong with not wanting anyone to die.

This has nothing to do with anything I post on here, but I’ve been seeing a lot of TikTok’s recently that say “your colleagues are not your friends! Don’t trust them, don’t talk to them, just come into work and do your job. Never fraternise with the enemy* (*your colleagues)” and like… babe, you sound like a corporate plant. You might as well be saying “don’t unionise, unions are for losers and idiots. Just do as your told and trust me* (*definitely not three upper management stooges in a trench coat) and everything will be great!”
