So, the drama on the subway yesterday was a guy killing himself: [link] Sad.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
That is awful. Ugh.
It was about this time last year that an acquaintence did the same thing at Davis, on the Red Line, though I think he was more immediately successful.

I figured that's what it was, when I heard a photographer asking if "they've brought the guy out yet," but still.

Allyson, your post made me grin like a loon. And get, possibly, a little verklempt. Which I probably effed the spelling of.
In my defense, I'm loopy from a mild cold, for which I can't take a darned thing but tylenol and vitamins. Tom Cruise would be so proud.
Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal is being touted as Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent in the next Batman sequel, along with Paul Bettany, who may play the Joker. Gyllenhaal would play Gotham City's good-guy lawyer, who mutates into his alter-ego, Two-Face, in the third film
If my throat wasn't a touch on the sore side, I'd totally be making sounds only dogs can hear at the thought.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Batman/Dent lends itself to both OT3 and tidy hurt/comfort.

Stop that! It makes me laugh in an unseemly fashion!
And now I'm ridden with Batman's similarity to Ennis, and Bruce Wayne's to Jack.
Thanks a BUNCH.
