TAKIISHI CHIKA IN CHAPTER 153

[y-rhywbeth2]

I'm surprised Lolth doesn't keep drow Durge tbh, she'd approve of them aside from the part where they're tainted by another god (and she does like stealing from her rivals.)

'Nope, you made it in the image of my children; mine now.'

That or 'I'd be surprised if drow or half-drow Durge wasn't actually the horrible offspring of Lolth and Bhaal, considering all of it (murder, kin-slaying for power and security to appease the nightmare parent out of fear of horrific punishment, cannibalism, world domination, pressure to appease nightmare parent's breeding obsessions, threat of being reduced to a feral abomination for failure) is an overlapping interest for the two.'

They'd also team up about 'what should we breed our spawn with to make even more murderous spawn?'

('A glabrezu.' - 'You already force your regular drow to breed with those, pick something else already.' Durge has always made me think of draegloths...)

On learning languages...

I've been doing Spanish lessons on Duolingo for about a year now (because of reasons) and some lessons are harder than others (i hate gendered nouns so much) but overall it's going slowly but steadily. I've just about gotten to the point where I can read simple things if I've got a way to look up words I don't know yet.

The last couple of units have been on past tense, which is great, it opens up lots of avenues for conversation and reading. Except this unit.

The most recent set of lessons it gave me combined -- among other things -- the verbs ver ("to see") and venir ("to come"). Very useful verbs. Except THEY'RE SO EASY TO MISTAKE FOR ONE ANOTHER, especially when you get into the past tense and the 'e' changes to an 'i' or sometimes an 'ie'.

What even the FUCK. I got so fed up today I had to sit down and make up a chart.

Present tense: (ver) yo veo, tú ves, él ve, nosotros vemos, ellos ven (venir) yo voy, tú vienes, él viene, nosotros venimos, ellos vienen

and in the past (preterite): (ver) yo vi, tú viste, él vió, nosotros vimos, ellos vieron (venir) yo vine, tú viniste, él vino, nosotros vinimos, ellos vinieron

I'm sure I'll get them down eventually. BUT WHY DID DUOLINGO FEEL THE NEED TO GIVE THEM BOTH TO ME IN THE SAME UNIT???

(My Spanish-speakers are looking at me with that little frown that means "what are you talking about, these are perfectly clear and distinct words?" aren't you?)

It felt too good to be trued, perched on the edge of the Belfry, his new suit blending him into the night as the familiar cape of Batman rustled behind him. But this was reality. Bruce was ready to take on the city again. There would be slips. Jason still had slips and he'd been dealing with the after effects of the Pit far longer than Bruce had, but Batman and Robin were reunited once again. Though Tim had finally shed the traffic light colours after a very long heart to heart with Dick.

He wasn't ready to give up Robin yet but the colours no longer suited him. He wasn't bright and loud, he preferred the stealth approach and always had. It was different, it would change the fighting style of the dynamic duo but they'd trained for this. Taken the time to relearn each other's cues and tells. And honestly? Tim felt so much more at home in all black and with a hood casting extra shadows onto his face. He turned to grin at Batman.

"Ready to go?" He asked. "I can already hear the Bank's alarms going off so I guess that's our first stop."

He probably should have waited but it was habit by now to simply go. There were going to be some teething problems their first night out into the field especially as he hadn't exactly gone into detail about his teleporting. With a running leap, he dived off the roof of the Belfry into the open night, disappearing in a flash and reappearing about a hundred feet from where he started then disappearing again. Blipping in and out of sight and existence.

Eh I used to think that I was mostly immune to this, but truthfully this year it's been challenging to see my friends living their best summer lives with their friends on sm and not feeling really quite bad about myself in comparison.

Okay question

Does anyone else feel like fem hobw has very different vibes than male hobw, based on voice alone?

Like they're both very good performances, but I feel like the energy they bring is super different.
