That'a relief xD

ok no actually the funniest way Talia should be shamed for having a one night stand with Jason during his league days is if Damian finds out and refuses to stop referring to Jason as ‘step-father’.

Damian: i request more training with step-father to improve my blade wielding abilities.

Jason, looking up and blinking: wait is that me?

Jason:

Jason: cool.

Jason, turning to Talia: i don’t mind training my step-son.

Talia:

Talia: he isn’t your step-son.

Damian: yes i am.

Talia: Damian, no. he can’t be your father. he’s seventeen.

Damian: oh and that’s an issue is it?

Talia:

Damian:

Jason: *grinning in delight at the family drama*

-later, upon Damian’s arrival in Gotham-

Bruce: and these are your brothers,

Damian: ah yes, i am aware of them.

Damian, nodding at the batkids: Grayson, Drake,

Damian, turning to Jason: step-father,

Jason, solemnly: step-son. good to see you again.

Bruce, having a heart attack: imsorryexcusemewhatnow-?

dick and jason being antagonistic siblings. no more soft shit let them punch each other at 7am bcs jason ate the last of dicks cereal. dick loses a tooth and they’re banished to opposite sides of the house until they agree to apologise to each other. they’re not allowed to sit next to each other on the couch/during meetings bcs they always end up trying to shove each other off their seats. one time jason came all the way to the manor, walked in, shot dick in the face with a water pistol, and then went back home to crime alley without saying a word. the first time red hood was asked to join the jla for a briefing on the watchtower nightwing ended up sumo-slamming him into the table and the entire jl were so freaked out by the uncharacteristic crash out that they thought nightwing was compromised by mind control, only for batman to tiredly inform them that it was because red hood had just messaged nightwing in the family groupchat that he ‘looked like a little bitch with that new haircut’.

theyre assholes with a baffling childhood bond let them act like it

[fluffynicoopriv]

Remember when Dick jumped off a building and tried to commit altruistic suicide, and Clark snatched him out of the air and was like, "Lighten up, lad."

Reminds me of when Dick jumped off a building and Clark snatched him up and was like, "Nightwing! I thought you were a suicide!"

And that reminds me of the other time Dick jumped off a building and Clark grabbed him and was like, "I've got you! I'm sure things seem tough, but this isn't the answer, man!"

And that reminds me of the OTHER time Dick jumped off a building when Bludhaven had been hit by Chemo, and Clark scruffed him and was like, "Get out of here, Dick. You're going to die."

And Dick was like, "That is sound advice that I'm absolutely going to ignore!"

I just think the common theme between these scenarios is interesting is all.

[fluffynicoopriv]

Random thought but

Do you ever wonder how many times one of bats accidently depileted they're eyebrows while removing they're mask? Is it only me?

[fluffynicoopriv]

If my bff got kidnapped and there was anoing child keep asking me questions about them i would be an ass to

currently rereading the titan's curse. I can barely get past chapter 3 because the only thing im thinking about is how EVERYONE IS TREATUNG NICO POORLY AND HE DIDNT EVEN DO ANYTHING WRONG!!! SO WHAT IF HE'S ANNOYING HUH? ID RATHER HAVE ANNOYING NERDY GEEKY NICO THAN SAD DEPRESSED ANGRY NICO!!!

I SWEAR. As a very nerdy person, the fact that nico dropped his mythomagic obsession later on... nuh uh. HOW COULD THEY DO THAT TO HIM HUH??? I SWEAR. I SWEAR I SWEAR I SWEAR.

PERCY WHY IS HE SUCH AN AHOLE?? I GET IT HE'S STRESSED ABOUT ANNABETH BUT JEEZ DUDE.

Grover AGAIN is the ONLY GOOD ONE HERE!!! HE DIDNT TELL NICO TO SHUT UP OR WHATEVER, AND THIS IS WHY GROVER IS QUICKLY BECOMING ONE OF MY NEW FAVOURITE CHARACTERS.

Blind people gesture (and why that’s kind of a big deal)

People who are blind from birth will gesture when they speak. I always like pointing out this fact when I teach classes on gesture, because it gives us an an interesting perspective on how we learn and use gestures. Until now I’ve mostly cited a 1998 paper from Jana Iverson and Susan Goldin-Meadow that analysed the gestures and speech of young blind people. Not only do blind people gesture, but the frequency and types of gestures they use does not appear to differ greatly from how sighted people gesture. If people learn gesture without ever seeing a gesture (and, most likely, never being shown), then there must be something about learning a language that means you get gestures as a bonus.

Blind people will even gesture when talking to other blind people, and sighted people will gesture when speaking on the phone - so we know that people don’t only gesture when they speak to someone who can see their gestures.

Earlier this year a new paper came out that adds to this story. Şeyda Özçalışkan, Ché Lucero and Susan Goldin-Meadow looked at the gestures of blind speakers of Turkish and English, to see if the *way* they gestured was different to sighted speakers of those languages. Some of the sighted speakers were blindfolded and others left able to see their conversation partner.

Turkish and English were chosen, because it has already been established that speakers of those languages consistently gesture differently when talking about videos of items moving. English speakers will be more likely to show the manner (e.g. ‘rolling’ or bouncing’) and trajectory (e.g. ‘left to right’, ‘downwards’) together in one gesture, and Turkish speakers will show these features as two separate gestures. This reflects the fact that English ‘roll down’ is one verbal clause, while in Turkish the equivalent would be yuvarlanarak iniyor, which translates as two verbs ‘rolling descending’.

Since we know that blind people do gesture, Özçalışkan’s team wanted to figure out if they gestured like other speakers of their language. Did the blind Turkish speakers separate the manner and trajectory of their gestures like their verbs? Did English speakers combine them? Of course, the standard methodology of showing videos wouldn’t work with blind participants, so the researchers built three dimensional models of events for people to feel before they discussed them.

The results showed that blind Turkish speakers gesture like their sighted counterparts, and the same for English speakers. All Turkish speakers gestured significantly differently from all English speakers, regardless of sightedness. This means that these particular gestural patterns are something that’s deeply linked to the grammatical properties of a language, and not something that we learn from looking at other speakers.

yes my lady

forward my shambling soldiers and slay without thinking. let blood flow into every crevice of this rotten land

[fluffynicoopriv]

Since i've started playing Marcel Rivals like, week ago my brain can't stop thinking about team up's and strategies. Mostly how to build a team if "X" role would be forbidden. This post is results of it lol. This post gonna have three parts each dedicated for each role.

First we starts witch, ekscluding ✨strategists✨

And no by it i don't say that suport is useless or worst or whatever the fuck is going in this dumpster fire of community.

I have two reasons to star's witch strategists.

1. I main both support character and dps, so i'm the most familiar woth those roles

2. Many times when there's no strategists om the team ppl are like "gg, we already lost".

And listen, if you fully eksclude any role in game, it will made stuff more difficult. That's true, every role have there's own streangs and weekneses. But witch good strategy and team communication you can cover up those weekneses.

Im this hipotetical scenerio, let's assume botch teams are coordinating and communicating witch eachothers. There team is well-balanced, you can't play support. How we gonna get around that?

My answer is easy:

Speed and health packs.

Support is not only way to heal. On the map you can find health packs that will heal some of hp.

Knowing when all health packs are places is half of the success. Now another problem is that it won't move. Those packs are have permanent spots ant you can't move them. So you have to get to the fast.

Building your team you should have two things in mind: good defense and speed.

Good defense means that you can take lots of hits and cover up your retreating teammates. Speed mean you can escape and snach health packs before you enemy caught you.

As dps i woud recommends:

— Mr. Fantastic. He can fight on the front line ,and cathing and keeping enemies in place for easier KO's and play as ekstra tank if needed witch one of he's ability, that extend he's hp bar. He can do both in close combat and hit's enemies in the distance.

— Wanda. She will cover skies and ground, her ability to turn invisible can provide her witch fast way to escape and can be great for sneak ataks. Her ability to move on the ground and sky lets her to get faster to health pack while needed. And we all know how annoyingly hard is to hit flying oponend. Her ult also can be really useful. Imagine being hit with Dr. Strangers ult just to hear "pure chaos". Well timed combo can be diabolical.

— Moon Knight. He's fast, he's agile. He's grappling hook and ability to glide let him travel fast and climb on hight points. He's bouncing weapons and anks can do a lot od damage fast and to multiple enemies ad the same time. Absolute lord in mass-destruction. He's well placed ult combined witch anks can be devastating. Great for keeping areas or for flanking.

Well most if not dps are more focused distance shooting, than close combat, an it have a reason. Tanks are gonna be-walking shields and covering retreating allies. Tanks are tend to be on slower side but there are some exceptions, like:

— Venom. He can do a lot of damage and take o told off hits. He can crawl on walls and swings on... Whatever he uses. Great for close combat and front line.

—Dr. Strange. He can keep shields up and opens portals. Why you go find your enemies when you can just... Open portal hidden somewhere and have few seconds of free hits when oposit team tries to spots where you are. Need a retreat, or just some healings? Portal. Came from behind for surprise attack? Portal. Fast travel from place to place? Portal. Strange can just opens portal right next to spawn and boom, free unlimited healing and same spot for you all. As i mentioned before combo of he's and Wanda's ult can be really dangerous if timed right.

— Hulk. Hulk can jump really high and can create force shields to protect himself and allies. Absolute beast in terms of damage and if killed he can transform into bruce banner. It gives free few moments to retread and if protected from other teamers almost impossible to kill. Big, strong, and fast. He can jump into higher spots to retrieve health packs otherwise not available for him. Or just, get them faster.

I know when it comes to speed Spider-Man is speed demon. But building this team i had in mind that spidey is focused on close-combat and i tried to put on front tanks. On frot there's bigger chance to be hit and tanks have bigger chance to survive dou to they're big hp bars. Dps's role is shooting from behind. From big wall that you're tanks will be. Do damage, if tanks needs to retreat? Cover them. Dps are faster but more fragile in terms of hp. Tanks will be there force field, wall that will keed them away. Dps's role here will be mire sneaky, note open 1v1 but more surprise attack. Elimination of thet weak spot, beast teammate, biggest danger, there supporters. Quick attack, and while they're weakened and concentrating on you, front line would hit like a brick wall, while dps shoots from behind. Match with that team would be really difficult and aquire loots of practicing and team work BUT IT IS winnable. I think.

Also character i listed are only suggestions. You easily can add there snipers or other shooters like, Bucky or Squirrell Girl. It's just my silly ide u come up with.
