Themperor of Chaos

- it’s fun to be awake & in an upright position

- consciousness is a gift

I'm gonna run y'all through a brief list of plotpoints and I am not making up a single one of these. And I want to preface this by saying each of these plotpoints are all just from ONE SEASON of this show

The Penguin gets electro-shocked into being a good person, Alex DeLarge from Clockwork Orange style and during this time he meets his long lost dad. His dad loves the fact his son is a "Dashing gangland kingpin" and is all set to leave him the entire family fortune which pisses off his dads gold-digging wife and awful children. So his step sister tries to fuck him to get him to keep them in the will. When this doesn't work his step-brother offers to try and fuck him next. The step-mother, not willing to follow in the footsteps of Corey Chase, comes to the conclusion that re-enacting the plot of a Families Tied porn scene ISN'T going to work and so she instead poisons her husband to death and she and her kids make Oswald their live in cook. When he finds out he MURDERS HIS STEP SIBLINGS, COOKS THEM AND FEEDS THEM TO HIS STEP-MOTHER

Michelle Gomez shows up for two episodes as an assasin talent scout that operates out of a crime lord lesbian bar and she sends a face eating cannibal to try and kill Jim Gordon

Jim Gordon's ex wife becomes a supervillain who ends up in a bisexual polyamorous relationship with a BDSM assasin and her brother (God there's so much incest and cannibalism in this show it's like an episode of Game of Thrones...or a gathering of the RNC), a supervillain with an ancient grudge against the Wayne Family who wants to use a string of false flag supervillain terror attacks to get himself elected mayor. Jim Gordon LITERALLY HELPS A CRIME LORD MURDER HIM. However, the batshit insane mad scientist who is the head of Arkham Asylum resurrects him as a nigh-unkillable zombie assasin that's been brainwashed to believe he's a Holy Warrior of the Order of Azrael, a Knight Templar cult. This leads to him going on a killing spree as said unkillable zombie soldier. He dies for the second time when the Penguin shows up on the lawn of Wayne Manor out of nowhere with a rocket launcher, blows him up and then just peaces out

The show basically deciding sometime halfway through season two that it didn't want to be a crime drama about Jim Gordon but would instead like to be a black comedy about Gotham's villains was honestly such a good call <3

the more it just embraced being fuckin insane the better it got :D

And yeah, the show deciding to make Penguin and Riddler a Toxic Yaoi supervillain couple was CHEFS KISS <3

There WAS an Alfred series that was indeed him working to bring down a fascist dystopian government in Britain that seemed like it was heavily "inspired" by V for Vendetta

(Count Olaf voice) Inspired is a BIG BIG word that means "please don't sue us Alan Moore"

And yeah it was indeed set in the same universe as Gotham

you would receive the supply once a month

the brand/type will vary so you could

me: yeah i know, they’re all primary colors, it’s perfect

When you go for an MLS (Master’s of Library Science, which is a thing, and which is usually required for “professional-level” library work [which is also a weird and contentious concept that I won’t go into here]), one of the things you study is the organization of information. This deals with how to determine what a book or other material is “about"—a concept we tongue-in-cheek call “aboutness"—and how to convey that to a potential user of the item and make it easy for them to find. Things like keywords and subject headings, do I put this book about how often wild birds attack aerial drones in with books about birds or with books about technology, if its a fictional novel do I put fantasy in it’s own section or mix it in with all of the other fiction, so on and so on.

OP is organizing books by how they would look for them. OP’s partner is thinking in terms of aboutness. This is a system that works for OP because it’s their personal library: they know basically what books they own and they only own books that are relevant to them, and if they know what the book looks like, that can be a quick way to find it.

In a library that assumes the public (or people who do not own that particular collection of books) are using the collection, that doesn’t work. Books are often re-issued in multiple covers, or re-bound in new covers when they get worn out, and if the user doesn’t know what the book looks like or is expecting a different cover, they’re lost. That’s why non-personal libraries used standardized cataloging systems like the Dewey Decimal System or Library of Congress System to organize a book by what it’s “about”, and then put books about the same or similar topics together, marked with labels and signage so a person unfamiliar with the book or collection can find their way to it.

Basically, OP’s system works for their own personal library, because it’s best suited to how the primary user—OP themselves—looks for books. OP’s librarian partner is coming from a background of thinking in terms of a public-facing collection, where aboutness is the key criteria and communicating it to a user unfamiliar with the collection is the priority.

twelve episodes, twelve contestants - a mix of annoying middle aged sci fi authors, fan fic authors and random people off the street
