Barbara Gordon's Coding & Computer Cram School is a popular YouTube series. Tucker Foley is a star student.

Barbara Gordon's Cram School posts free online courses for both coding and computer engineering. Think Crash Course in terms of entertainment, but college lecture in terms of depth. Hundreds of thousands of viewers flock to it— students who missed a class, people looking to add new skills to a resume, even simple hobbyists. It’s a project Barbara’s proud of.

Sometimes, when she wants to relax, she’ll even hop in the comments and spend an afternoon troubleshooting a viewer’s project with them.

User “Fryer-Tuck” has especially interesting ones. Barbara finds herself seeking out his comments, checking in on whatever this crazy kid is making next. An app for collecting GPS pings and assembling them on a map in real-time, an algorithm that connects geographic points to predict something’s movement taking a hundred other variables into account, simplified versions of incredibly complex homemade programs so they can run on incredibly limited CPU’s.

(Barbara wants to buy the kid a PC. It seems he’s got natural talent, but he keeps making reference to a PDA. Talk about 90’s! This guy’s hardware probably predates his birth.)

She chats with him more and more, switching to less public PM threads, and eventually, he opens up. His latest project, though, is not something Barbara has personal experience with.

FT: so if you found, hypothetically, a mysterious glowing substance that affects tech in weird and wacky ways that could totally have potential but might be vaguely sentient/otherworldly…. what would you do and how would you experiment with it. safely, of course. and hypothetically

BG: I’d make sure all my tests were in disposable devices and quarantined programs to keep it from infecting my important stuff. Dare I ask… how weird and wacky is it?

FT: uhhh. theoretically, a person composed of this substance once used it to enter a video game. like physical body, into the computer, onto the screen? moving around and talking and fighting enemies within the game?

FT: its been experimented with before, but not on any tech with a brain. just basic shields and blasters and stuff, its an energy source. also was put in a car once

FT: i wanna see how it affects software, yk? bc i already know it can. mess around and see how far i can push it

BG: […]

FT: … barbara?

BG: Sorry, thinking. Would you mind sharing more details? You said “blasters?”

Honestly. Kid genius with access to some truly wacky materials and even wackier weapons, she needs to start a file on him before he full sends to either hero or villain.

[OR: Tucker is a self-taught hacker, but if he were to credit a teacher, he'd name Barbara Gordon's Coding & Computer Cram School! He's even caught the attention of Dr. Gordon herself. She's full of sage advice, and with how she preaches the value of a good VPN, he's sure she's not pro-government. Maybe she'll help him as he studies the many applications of ecto-tech!]

i know the kiss scene was analysed to death but i gotta. the way henry first steps away and hesitates where to go from there—it carries so much more weight because it’s not a spur of the moment thing. you can see all the questions and doubts running through his head: is this a good idea? their friendship is good and secure and known, what if they fuck this up and can’t go back? is it is a bad idea because hans is a noble and being closest friends is being on thin fucking ice anyway? is it a good idea to do this now? will henry not be distracted during the mission? is hans doing this for himself, because he needs to let off steam, because the tension has finally gotten to him? worse yet, is hans doing this out of pity for henry, a last favour for a doomed man? is he doing this because they might never see each other again? oh fuck they might never see each other again and he will leave hans broken, and feeling rejected and—they might never see each other again so he has to kiss hans back, he has to let him know that makes two of them, they need the first and possibly the last moment together in the warm firelight. a kiss and hope for the road.

Looong day of catching up on emails and work to set myself up to be (mostly) on vacation as of xmas 😩☕😵‍💫

'strong poison' is high up there in the wimsey book rankings so far. most crucially for me: so much love for bunter, so richly deserved (the scene where he and peter are tiptoeing around each other like 'so uh... are you breaking up with me to get married then?🥺'/'of course not, that's -- wait what are -- are you breaking up with me if I'm getting married?? 😟😢😭'/'of course not my lord don't be silly'/'then don't scare me like that bunter oh my god!!!!'). also more bunter as pseudo-mother (/wife and very overtly so lmao the duchess directly comparing him to helen as gerald's wife... immensely favourably so.) figure, yes-tumblr-user-vaguely-concerned-you-are-so-valid textual underlining. peter literally wanting to smash his own reflection in a wild and unguarded moment. not doing it, because it would change nothing and bunter would just have to deal with a lot of broken shards before a new one got ordered. him recounting going to his mother in a State because uh-oh he's gone and love-at-first-sighted himself and if he can get her off death row and also maybe introduce himself to her the wedding is back on!! parker being a useless lesbian except he's a very well brought up boy with victorian values. mary noticing that peter's feeling low because he's class clowning it up at christmas and giving him a hugggg 🥹. harriet with the 'life is already so fucking weird. this might as well happen' vibe throughout quietly editing a novel from prison in the background because what else is there to do. ms. climpson who could set the murderous machiavel to school if she wanted to actually richard iii go home. in another world she's the moriarity of the wimsey 'verse. an honest soul with a fine criminal mind indeed. the hilarity of looking back through the ages and seeing with all the tiredness of living in the age that before there were astrology girlies there were ectoplasm girlies. peter having a pet safe cracker on speed dial who's seen the light ('allelujah) but y'know a man still has the pride of his craft. impey biggs is there. delicious. characterful. brimming with flavour and also arsenic of course

Zubeia: "The great leader of the Sunfire elves, Queen Aditi, stepped in to broker peace."

Janai: Let's make a change for the better as a people and start showing mercy instead of killing.

Aaravos and Karim:

It's amazing how both of them start problems and yet are complete opposites 😂

Dorian Pavus is a what now??

pls I’ve been laughing over this since yesterday. imagine if there was a special dialogue trigger for romanced Dorian like:

Inquisitor: Dorian Pavus is an old friend. He filled me in.

Harding: Old friend, huh? That’s a funny way of saying—

Inquisitor: AHEM. Morrigan has told me what you’ve accomplished since taking over for Varric…

Ever met Bob Bergen?

i have not, but i would certainly love to!

the only voice actors i've met have been in my native turf of Sponge-land... and they are all INCREDIBLY NICE!! i accidentally got Doug Lawrence's autograph, Tom Kenny gushed over my Popeye shirt i was wearing last year and showed it off to Bill Fagerbakke who i also got to talk to for like 20 minutes straight. i got to have a beer with Tom Kenny. Tom and Doug recognized me from the previous year's party. when i introduced myself to Jill Talley, i said "i work on The Patrick Star Show, i hear your voice all the time!" and she said "i'm sorry" LMAO. they're all so incredibly funny and nice and i hope to meet many more animation voice legends in my time, Bob being one of them! he's maybe the only other person i feel comfortably relinquishing my Swinentologist status to, as i may call myself Porky's #1 fan, but i haven't been voicing him for 35 years either..

You know how in stories where the heroes save the world from some magical apocalypse, a lot of the time the general public has no idea? They just go about their lives afterward, not even realizing how close they came to disaster, much less that there's someone to thank for that?

Picture how those heroes feel.

That's how the programmers who stopped the Y2K bug most likely feel.

Thanks for saving us, folks. I just heard the song "Party Like It's 1999", and thought of you.
