as a kid i always thought gotham was in michigan because i thought it was a midwestern city like chicago, and there was always shit going down at the pier or in abandoned factories and if michigan has anything it’s a lot of piers and abandoned factories. anyway turns out it’s probably in jersey.
other good reasons for gotham to be in michigan:
one of the most heavily forested states in the country with 20 million acres of forests oh my god poison ivy would be so powerful the second she got outside city limits fuck
there’s 20 million acres of this and she’s got plant powers no wonder they want her on lockdown
there are more than 6,000 shipwrecks in the great lakes how many supervillain origin stories is that good for
“63 commercial ports handled 173 million tons of cargo in 2006″ aka holy shit that is a lot of opportunities for boatcrimes
mr freeze has a pretty tragic origin story but if you had to put up with michigan winters and then some motherfucker showed up freezing the town outside of freezing season you would have no mercy
MOTHERFUCKER I JUST PUT MY SNOWBLOWER IN STORAGE DO I LOOK LIKE I NEED THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW
imagine batman giving someone directions by pointing to his hand
“we believe killer croc is somewhere around here” he says pointing to the tip of his thumb
good fucking luck finding stats on abandoned buildings in michigan but holy shit are there a lot of them, no wonder they’re always having fights in abandoned factories and empty warehouses
“kitty why are you including that map of the railroads like it’s relevant” because when you’re trying to sleep and you hear a train in the distance it’s fucking spooky okay
i have no evidence that traincrime is an issue for batman i’m just saying the ambiance is there
The pretentious man writing my life: this is what drove him crazy about her, her wildness, her insanity. One moment she was peaceful, the artist in her nest – the next, she dived into chaos, dined on it, challenged it. Just when he thought he understood her, she moved to again rewrite her definition, always unknowable, always glittering like the ocean, hinting at a story yet untold, laughing at a joke not meant for him, her eyes twinkling with secrets and humor and the otherworldly feminine. She was surrounded by color, loved it so much she tried to pour it inside of her, tried to poison herself with it, tried to paint even her organs. He wanted to kiss her, to entangle that art into his own skin – but the moment was passed. She was again order, peace. The chaos ceased. He didn’t even get to touch her boobies.
I’m looking to directly donate Ariel to someone who could use her.
She’s a Crossfire T6 rigid frame wheelchair with an 18" seat, Matrix Elite backrest, and Spinergy Spox wheels. Heavily used, but still has life in her.
This is not a good chair for someone who often needs to be pushed–she has no handles. (This is honestly great for stopping strangers from trying to “help” without asking.) She’d be best for someone who is good at self-propelling (hence my switch; my shoulders and wrists have gone to hell). Her backrest also no longer collapses.
Still, this is a marvelous chair and is a real step up from the standard clunky chairs folks lacking good insurance or supportive docs get stuck with. She’s lightweight and maneuverable, and I always got tons of compliments on her.
I’m located in Baltimore, MD, USA and cannot really travel.
Years ago, Tumblr helped me raise enough money to move away from my abuser. This is me trying to pay it forward–I don’t want anything in return. I just want someone else to be able to feel the freedom and joy Ariel gave me when I first got her.
Please only request via comment (directly or in reblog); I can’t tell who asked first if you directly message me, and it’s first come, first served. Reblogs for boosting welcome.
@vaspider@thebibliosphere as far as I know neither of you is personally in need of this but I know both of you are supportive of other disabled people and if you don’t need it, you might have followers who could use it?
