LOVEEEE your nightwng fanart SOOO much thank you for your service <3

omg of course :) he's really fun to draw! i think my ver of nightwing is 30 ish years old but still has quite the baby face due to genetics lol

[commandersya]

WAIT YOU KNOW JAVASCRIPT? (im curious lol why? are you a compsci major?)

oh yeah! i did like two diff compsci degrees because there was an overlap in the classes that saved me doing like... an extra year and a half than if i were to do both degrees normally one after the other, so i actually learned a whole bunch of languages from both like:

Web dev stuff (HTML/CSS, Javascript (with focus on Jquery), PHP (which everyone seems to hate but is my beloved))

Java

Python

SQL

some AI-adjaecent/logic-solving languages i've long since forgotten (Haskell, OWL, Prolog)

I also programmed a whole-ass game in C# despite not actually knowing it for an extra master's level class i took for fun, after you know a few similar languages a lot of the basics are actually the same!

and i will say that DESPITE all the bad rep JS gets, i actually find it's very useful for browser extensions for shit that really annoys you or could be more streamlined. for example:

i recently edited a pre-existing extension to add the fic info to my ao3 bookmarks so if they get deleted i still know which fic it was (and then can try to find it on my archive of downloaded fics or on the wayback machine)! i have well over 2k bookmarks so as you can imagine. i didn't really feel like doing it by hand for all the ones i already had.

i used to have a bookmarklet for nanowrimo that automatically deducted my initial pre-nano wordcount when i went to update it to save me the work of having to do it on the calculator

there's already instructions out there for how to make an ao3 bookmarklet to save your filters and apply it to whatever page you're on (saving you the work of having to add your excluded tags, preferred language, etc) but with javascript you can make a similar one for other situations like these!

UR DOING A PHD IN ENGLISH LIT??

Yes, I'm in my fifth year. In a shocking twist for my Austen followers, I primarily study eighteenth-century British literature.

Damn that’s the dream

It's a mixture of very cool and utterly hellish in my experience, depending on the occasion.

I do like "my" people here, my advisor is spectacular, I've made some great friends, and I've had the opportunity to read and learn a lot (and play games when we do have spare time—D&D when everyone involved has either an MA or PhD in English literature is a pretty unique experience!).

At the same time, the pressure-pot intensity basically shattered all my ways of coping with autism/anxiety/depression/hypomania, and I was pretty much right on the edge of a total breakdown for years, which sucked. So not always a good dream, though there's a lot that's been good about it.

There is a loathsome creature in Lan Zhan’s house.

Lan Xichen and Meng Yao head over to investigate (and maybe garrote some people with a phone charger).

Part 2 of the series Digital Geese, Taser Whips, Sugar Gliders, and Other Forms of Therapy is up!  My awesome co-writer @eastofakkala and I are continuing to stoke the flames of the 3zun trashfire.

“You like video games, don’t you?” Xichen asks. They haven’t played many games, not since Mingjue saw A-Yao do something in a Sims game that he won’t elaborate to Xichen, but resulted in the aforementioned disastrous subscription to Betterhelp.

Meng Yao nods, smiling a bit nervously with his dimples on full display.  As always, Xichen can’t really tell what he’s thinking. He simply leads A-Yao over to the computer and gestures to it. “Here, I found this. It’s called Untitled Goose Game. I figured you’d like to give it a try.”

It's a lovely morning in the village, and you are a horrible goose, reads the text on the screen.

Sometimes a goose can save your relationship.

Hi! don't feel obligated to reply to this but do you mayhaps have any fic recs about jasier interacting with the other wolves at kaer morhen?

Thanks, and have a lovely day!

You're in luck: I happen to have two reclists on this very subject!

Jaskier and the Kaer Morons (Part One)

Jaskier and the Kaer Morons (Part Two)

While I'm at it, here are a couple of modern AUs that I read recently and fit the criteria!

Those Pages Thumbed by @ghostinthelibrarywrites

Rated M, 38k

When the Kaedweni government decides to send a librarian to digitize the keep's collection, none of the inhabitants of Kaer Morhen are happy, least of all Eskel, for whom the collection has been a passion project for the last few centuries. He's not expecting Jaskier, who is endlessly curious, funny, and looks better than anyone should in his collection of colorful cardigans. But Jaskier has a secret, one that might endanger the budding attraction between him and Eskel, as well as everything Eskel cares about.

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make Me a Match by DancingLassie

Rated T, 24k

The last thing Vesemir expected when he broke his hip (caused by slipping in his kitchen, of all things) was to meet the future love of Geralt’s life. Now all he had to do was subtly convince Geralt and Jaskier of the fact.

I hope this helps! Have a wonderful day <33

You Will Be My Better Half- Part 4

Warning for some blood and gore. Don’t read if you’re sensitive to this stuff. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Bheem had been lucky this morning. With his spear and a sack, he had caught four fish already. He had been cautious of his surroundings though, checking the river for any signs of danger from man or beast before he even entered the water. He had busied himself in this manner for quite some time. Feeling satisfied with his work, he wrapped the caught fish in the sack and began making his way back to their campsite. 

He spotted the fire roaring back to the life, from Ram no doubt. Ram sat near the fire, stoking the flames with sticks. He smiled as he spotted Bheem. Bheem grinned back waving the sack proudly. 

“Found something?” Ram laughed.

“You could say that.” Bheem smiled. 

A wave of concern hit him as he saw Ram’s gaze move to the bushes behind him.

“Bhai?” He stopped, locking eyes with his brother.   

“Slow.” Ram ordered in one word. 

Bheem understood the command and slowed his pace, checking his surroundings. He spotted movement in the tall grass behind him.Ram stood up, aiming his rifle and Bheem gripped his spear. One look between them both said everything. 

“I’d lower your weapons if I were you.” A voice was heard. 

Both Ram and Bheem turned to see a familiar face clad in a British uniform pointing a pistol at them. 

Ram’s superior officer.

“No sudden movements gentlemen,” He ordered looking between them both, “I wasn’t foolish enough to think that I could bring you both in without losing my own head.”

Bheem looked around knowing even though things were quiet, there probably was an ambush hiding somewhere. He looked back at Ram and saw his brother had seen it too. 

“Tell me,” Ram lowered the rifle, “How much money were your promised by our arrest?”

“Absolutely nothing,” The chief glared, “All of Britain would love to see you dangling from a rope. However, trials must be given and I was ordered to bring you in alive, sergeant.”

Ram’s blood boiled at the hated name. He didn’t want the title or the faked dignity that came with it. He hated the men behind each uniform. The uniform that he made himself put on every single day. It was the only way to gain freedom for his family. It was a sacrifice Ram had been willing to give. For a chance to gain the weapons his father had shed his blood to get and the power that came with it. 

But now, the time for deception and hiding was over. 

“It’s a shame it had to turn out like this,” The commander spoke, “You had such high hopes in our rankings. You outworked every other officer I had ever met. The only foreign one to go that far.”

Ram took a step foreword, “And I will go farther. Until I see everyone who is a threat, destroyed.”

The chief glared at him, simmering rage coursing through him. Ram stared back unfazed and unafraid.

“So will I, officer,” He nodded looking around, “Now!”

Ram raised his rifle and took a shot in the tree above them. With a howl of pain, two officers fell from the limbs, dying before they even reached the ground. As both men expected, six more officers came running out of the thicket.

 Bheem swung his spear, knocking one man in the face, breaking his neck with the blunt force. Ram shot two more that were running quickly, killing them both. One officer dodged his bullet and attempted to swing his rifle at Ram’s head. Ram caught the rifle in his hand keeping his gripped locked and used his other hand to grabbed the man’s head, cracking it swiftly. The officer fell dead at his feet. 

“3 more!” Bheem yelled, running up to one and flipping him over onto his back, stabbing him.

Ram looked the chief, who he spotted standing close trying to get a shot at Bheem. He wasted no time in firing his rifle, shooting the man’s firing hand.The man cursed loudly grabbing his bleeding hand, looking shocked as his pistol had gone flying. 

“FIRE!” He shouted loudly but Ram wasn’t sure at whom. 

Looking around quickly to see who was left, Ram aimed his rifle waiting to shoot the first man he saw. 

Bheem had just killed his last officer with a quick and vicious stab to the gut. The man fell dead and Bheem pulled his spear out, panting from the fight. A glint of something in the bush, caught Ram’s eye. Before he had even shouted his brother’s name, an arrow came sailing through the air and hit Bheem in the sternum with a sickening sound. 

The yell that Ram wanted to rip out of his throat was caught in his chest as he watched Bheem fall to his knee, grimacing in pain. All he saw next was red as he fired a shot into the field. His aim was true as it had been since his childhood, and the victim fell out of covering with a bullet in his head. 

Ram ran across the way to Bheem and caught him before he fell.

“Bheem!” He held his brother’s weight as he went to his knees as well.

“It’s alright,” Bheem panted, “I’m alright.”

Ram felt like punching and hugging the fool at the same time. “Like hell,” He shot back helping Bheem sit back, “Let me see.”He moved back the tunic to reveal the sickening sight of the arrow sticking out of is brother’s flesh, slick with bright red blood.  Blood mixed with dark liquid. “

Bheem?” Ram couldn’t stop his hands from shaking.

Bheem pulled his shirt back to look at the wound too. He panted as sweat poured from his head. “Poison.” He confirmed what Ram had feared.

“Damn right,” The chief spoke still kneeling on the forest floor holding his bleeding hand, “It’ll take days before you find a cure and he won’t be around that long.”

Ram got up quickly striding over to the man. He grabbed him by the collar firmly.

“Where’s the medicine?” Ram could feel his heart pounding. 

“Oh now you’re asking Britain for a favor.” The chief mocked.

Ram pushed him back and took his rifle, swinging it madly at the man. He could hear the crack of bone over the man’s agonizing screams. He hit any part he could, just to make this man suffer. The screams urged him on harder and harder.

“WHERE IS IT?” He screamed back loudly.

“I don’t know!” The chief wailed holding his broken leg. 

Ram lowered his rifle and squatted down grabbing the man by his face, “Every minute you spend in silence, I will give you more pain. Until you beg me for death.”

“Anna,” Bheem spoke, “There’s a plant, I know it. It will stop the poison, it’s okay.”

Ram turned back to the chief, whose broken leg was in a mangled shape. Now that this monster wasn’t needed Ram could give him the punishment he deserved. He grabbed him by the collar again.

“I want you to know this. Death didn’t kill you, I did.” He grabbed his rifle and shot the bullet straight through the man’s head. 

That taken care of, Ram hurried back to Bheem’s side. 

“Which plant?” He asked already ready to run through the forest in search if it.

“Anna,” Bheem pulled his arm, “Calm down, I’m alright.” 

Ram didn’t seem convinced as he watched the man before him, shirt staining with blood. “You’re still bleeding.” Ram chastised ripping open the rest of Bheem’s shirt. 

He grabbed the pocket knife they had kept close by and cut a piece of cloth from his pants. Using it as a bandage, he rolled it and pressed it firmly over the wound. Bheem’s face twisted in pain and he grabbed Ram’s hand that was applying the pressure.

“Sorry,” Ram squeezed his shoulder.

Bheem patted his hand in response. He was panting by now, “The tip has to come out before anything else. Longer we wait the worse it will be.”

Ram nodded understanding what he had to do. “Sit back.” He helped move Bheem into a more comfortable position, resting against the tree completely. 

He then took another cloth he had shred and placed it in his brother’s mouth, “Bite down on that.”

Bheem nodded, breathing deeply in anticipation.

Ram squeezed his hand once more in a silent apology for pain he was about to inflict on his brother. Bheem squeezed back hard, his eyes full of understanding and trust. Ram placed the back of his forearm over Bheem’s upper chest, bracing him. With the other hand he grasped the end of arrow tightly. Just his grip alone, caused Bheem to breathe in pain. Ram faltered for a minute but Bheem nodded indicating for him to continue. 

Ram began pulling slowly. 

As much as he would have wanted to simply rip the horrible thing from Bheem’s chest and end the suffering, he knew a mistake like that could prove fatal. If the tip of the arrow broke in any way, they would be facing a worse problem. Ram had to keep his hands steady and slowly pull inch by inch. The tip made a sickening ripping sound as it tore flesh. Bheem’s body became tense and rigid as Ram pulled. He gripped Ram’s shoulder tightly, biting down on the cloth. His entire body was shaking from the pain and he finally let a out a low moan.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the rest of the arrow slipped out in one motion. 

Ram released a breath he hadn’t realized he had been holding. The tip had not broken thankfully, but Ram could see the dark color of the poison mingling with the slick blood. He tossed the hateful weapon away and turned his attention to his brother. 

Bheem was still shaking and panting from the trauma. 

Ram removed the cloth from is mouth, “It’s over.” He reassured wiping the sweat from Bheem’s face.

Bheem took a deep breath trying to control the shake left in his limbs. Ram held his hand and they both waited for some time for things to calm. 

Finally, Bheem spoke,“There’s a plant up ahead there,” He motioned with head, “It grows alongside the trees with vines. We can make a salve and it should stop the poison.”

“Should?” Ram frowned.

Bheem shook his head, “It’ll stop the poison from spreading. Whatever is here now,” He sighed leaving the rest unsaid. 

Ram rose steadily to his feet, running hurriedly to the trees with the vines that Bheem had mentioned. He pulled off the leaves viciously, not sure how many to get. He hated feeling unsure and out of control, but there was no time for thinking. Grabbing large handfuls, he ran back to their campsite and found Bheem still sitting upright. “

Is this enough?” Ram asked showing Bheem the large handfuls he had. 

Bheem nodded smiling in encouragement, “That’s more than enough. Now just take a rock and smash half of them into a paste and boil the rest of the leaves in water.”

Ram did a he was instructed, finding a bucket and boiling the water under the fire. As he mashed the leaves, he kept an eye on Bheem to see if he was alright. Bheem looked to be doing as well as expected. His face seemed a bit paler and he was sweating profusely now. Ram just prayed that this salve would stop the poison.

“That’s good.” Bheem spoke softly now and Ram brought him the leaves that now looked more like paste. 

Bheem dipped his fingers in the paste and brought it up to the wound on his chest. His fingers were shaking badly at this point.“

Here let me.” Ram followed Bheem’s actions and pushed the man’s hand aside to lay the salve over the wound. Bheem lowered his hands and let Ram work on applying the rest of the salve.“

There.” Ram sighed satisfied when the salve completely covered the wound. He used the other strips of cloth to create a makeshift bandage. “

“Bhai,” Bheem spoke as Ram tied the bandage around him from front to back.

“Hm?” Ram frowned deep in his work. 

“We should get back to the city soon,” Bheem sighed, “Find the doctor.”

“Is this salve not enough to stop the poison?” Ram asked worry growing in his gut.

“Not all of it,” Bheem explained, “That’s the best I know, but other than that-” He left the rest unsaid.

Ram nodded understanding the seriousness of the situation.“Come one.” He swung Bheem’s arm over his neck and pulled him upright. Slowly they made their way over to Ram’s horse. 

Ram helped Bheem get up first, holding his legs to keep him from falling. He then swung up behind him, pulling the man so he was resting against his chest. 

“Stay with me, tam’ mudu.” He whispered, urging his horse onward.

They needed to get home.

Children's/MG media slaps and is often harder to create/write than media for adults. (unless youre a white person who brings up like marvel and the hunger games when you talk about issues and can only contextualise real issues in ya book format, this isnt for you). we should be more empathetic and understanding of children like in general. give those little dudes some basic respect

agree in general but ofc there are exceptions and this doesn't hold up on like an individual 1:1 basis. and yeah kids need to be treated better
