if the agrestes weren't rich i think that gabriel would be the normal one. like gabe's problem is that he stopped running into natural limits due to absurd wealth and his obsessive nature led him to develop some kind of god complex where he won't accept that anything is out of his control. I think that if gabe was broke again and just simply couldn't afford to go on an international goose chase for ancient magic artifacts of untold power, if he had to work a 9-5 to live and couldn't just disappear into his basement lair to commit domestic terrorism and say evil monologues to himself, then he would be way more normal. he'd just be some guy. he might even let himself have a mowhawk again. but I think that emilie would be way LESS normal if they weren't rich. like emilie needs so many people to be obsessed with her so much all the time in order for her to function. and gabe would still have his toxic codependent obsession with her, sure, but that wouldn't be nearly enough. emilie has to be at the center of the world's spotlight at all times because she doesn't know how to exist if she's not performing. anyway all this to say I am so certain that if the agrestes were not disgustingly wealthy, emilie agreste would one million percent be running a massive family vlogger youtube channel

Donovan is going through a mid-life crisis and suddenly deciding he wants to be a Good DadTM to his sons. Demetrius isn't having it, but Damian is 100% for it. Obviously, Damian loves to study and work hard, so Donovan decides to help him study as an excuse to spend more time with him.

For context: During the 60s, Ostania was the midst of an intense war with immense pressure from various global powers to stop. The country was in shambles, and everyone blamed Donovan. Objectively, the most stressful position a man could find himself.

Or so he thought until he had to teach a 7 year old math

-----

Donovan: Ignore all the numbers left of the decimal ok. You're adding 0.8 and 0.2. What is the total

Damian: 0.10

Donovan: the first position after the decimal is what?

Damian: tenth place

Donovan: so if you add 8 tenths and 2 tenths what is the total

Damian, counts his fingers: ten tenths

Donovan: which is the same as...

Damian: 0.10

Donovan:

Damian: *starts counting his fingers again*

Donovan: Lord give me strength

-----

Donovan, going through the word list for Damian's spelling test: Spell could

Damian: c-u-d

Donovan: That's cud.

Donovan, showing him the word: ou makes to oo sound. You put two vowels together to lengthen the sound.

Damian: why is the I there?

Donovan: one, that is an L. Two, I don't know ok it's just there. Next word is wood, like from trees

Damian, confidently: w-l-o-u-d

Donovan: Your uniform alone costs more than minimum wage, Damian

-----

Donovan: if the current Prime Minister is the 14th Prime Minister...

Donovan, about to snap the pencil: then who was the 13th Prime Minister?

Damian:

Damian: *starts counting his fingers*

Donovan: What are you counting??? There is nothing to count. 13 is right before 14

Damian: the 13th prime minister is the one before the 14th?

Donovan: Yes. So who is it?

Damian: *current Prime Minister*

Donovan:

Damian:

Donovan: Are you trying to screw with me on purpose?

test exports of my animatic got me feeling unwell. (because they take 20 years to make)

it's ridiculous to give someone their first pair of glasses then expect them to want to navigate the world without them after that, but somehow it's expected that ppl with ADHD should just deal w/ not having their normal prescription

Bro why is fatigue so !?!?????!!!??!? >:( !?????!

Like I have shit I need to get done!! leave my body please!!

Start A Band gets me so bad because while the Miles theme Rock arrangement is so hype and powerful and you can feel every sngle muscle and nerve on his body, its him fully realized and knowing his power and worth, but the Prowler screams are so visceral, so desperate, theyre strong too but the Miles 1610 and Miles 42 difference makes me tear up. hes my guy. hes my boy! and what hes having to bring violent vigilante justice to his city because he lives in a hellhole dimension. AT 15. thing about Miles is that hes gonna be protecting the ones he loves....

explaining the relationship i have with my father is so complicated and i keep finding myself facing that question when i'm in college bc like. a professor of mine in office hours literally asked me abt my family and i was like. well i can explain. Parts Of This. but it's mega fucking complicated

[tvrningout-a]

thinking about!! how chiyo really holds onto things!! mistakes!! bad experiences!! happy memories!! things she likes!! her own thoughts and feelings!! but the right people can make her slip up and let them peek at these things nestled between her fingers. little by little, they help her to let go, help her realize she doesn't need to carry so much -- let others take a little of that weight, hm?

Managed to get my lab done. Don't have the wireframes done, but it'll hopefully not take too much time... had to prioritize the lab first bc that was a hard deadline today. The wireframes are just gonna get trickier. But I think I can still make it fine if I finish them tonight. I'm gonna HAAATE my life. But I'll manage.

Changed into my concert outfit. Spent like 20 minutes just trying to de-hair my clothes and brush my hair. Then de-hair again bc that put more hair on the clothes. Then I put my coat on and changed buildings, and there's even more hair. Gonna de-hair again when I drop my shit off in my car prior to heading to the concert venue. But for now, I'm taking a break. Gonna eat a bit. Hope it'll keep me going.

This outfit... is so. Fucking. WARM. I'm overheating man. What the fuck did they put in these tights.

Correcting a Chinese kid's English homework that another American got wrong on a Chinese app named after Mao Zedong's Little Red Book as part of a mass online temper tantrum to help save TikTok was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are.

This might actually be the political fuck-up of the century. Our politicians are all 900 year old crypt keepers who probably turn off their computers by unplugging them from the wall. Were there a single synapse in their decrepit domes focused on something besides their next payday, they might have thought twice about challenging Millennials and Zoomers on the internet. I repeat, ON THE INTERNET. Oh to have the confidence of an octogenarian born into generational wealth.

Something I need people to understand is the "security threat" doesn't just stop at data. The mere act of normal Chinese and American citizens interacting scares the shit out of governments on both sides. I'm already seeing videos from folks here in the US talking about how shocked they were at the grocery hauls in China, and how much they could get with very little. Chinese people are watching Americans absolutely dog walk their own government and talk it for filth. People are having fun.

All rich people had to do was remember the deal. Americans are terrible people. If they had just paid folks enough to buy a house, an electric car, and a vacation once a year they'd sit in front of the TV in a docile fugue state while the wealthy shoved their boots up the ass of the global south. Now who knows what's going to happen. I just know it's a testament to how done with Mark Zuckerberg's ass people are that they're rather learn Mandarin than go back to Facebook.

I think 2025 is about to be a ride.

When the League meets Baby Robin(Dick), they are genuinely surprised, as it seems impossible that Batman is raising this little ray of sunshine who appeared from between his cape and then proceeded to greet them with the brightest smile they've all ever seen, completely adoring Superman, saying how great Wonder Woman is, and actually laughing at Barry's jokes.

Bruce takes care of his work, but occasionally stops to, in fact, help Robin who is trying to do his English homework. The other members also help out, of course.

So, Hal arrives at the Watchtower, and Robin, seeing the man his dad mentor has been so grumpy about because of the last meeting they had (Hal doesn't understand that Batman is the best at his job and is the one giving directions for a reason, duh!), decides he will exact revenge.

He carries on a normal conversation with the man just as he did with everyone else, subtly leading the topic until Hal falls into the trap:

Hal: What about your mom? I can't imagine anyone putting up with the old bat.

He speaks with all mockery, but then his smile freezes when he sees the tremor in the little boy's shoulders.

Dick: *shuddering and holding back a little sob* my mummy died in front of me a few months ago.... I...

Hal is pale now, because the child actually sobs, and runs off to hide in the cape of Batman, who was now standing, ready to stitch up his child.

He's not the only one, Superman and the others are already there too, looking at him angrily because he made the little bean cry.

Hal is in a panic.

And if he sees how the boy smiles at him when no one is looking, sticking his tongue out at him while moving his lips to send him the message "Don't bother my dad", no one would ever believe him, not while the little boy is now clinging to Batman tightly as he slowly blinks away tears that not even the best actors could ever pull off.

Only Hal knows the devil behind that angel face.

Batman knows it too, but he adores his precious little demon.

I'm really, really sorry that happened to your friend, anon. I hope they were able to recover and get justice for what happened to them, and that you've been able to work through it too.

Thank you :) I'm not close enough with her to necessarily be privy to all her deepest feelings, but as far as I can tell, she really is fine and has been for a long time. She's a teacher and doing really well.

And yeah, I don't feel that way--like I'm looking through that filter--anymore, and a big part of that (not to overshare, but hey, maybe someone will read this and it will help them?) was getting diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. Since I was a kid I'd felt like violence and death were always lurking, to a degree that was illogical, and then the attack on my friend made that worse because it seemed like oh, I was right to feel that way. But getting worse eventually led to a diagnosis, which has led to getting a lot better! :)

(x)

I'm really glad both you and your friend are doing better and that the diagnosis helped, anon! It's wonderful when diagnoses give us not just a vocabulary and tools for what we experience, but an understanding of ourselves and I guess, context?

Not the same exactly, but my littlest nephew has a severe speech disability which has gone through about five almost-diagnoses and multiple tests which is crazy given he's only 6-years-old. He finally got an actual diagnosis a few months ago (childhood apraxia of speech, or CAS) and while there's complicated feelings involved in knowing talking isn't going to be something that'll ever be easy for him, even just getting to understand it better as a motor disability as opposed to a cognitive one has been extremely useful in helping us to support him in using his voice.

He doesn't really understand what his diagnosis means yet (although he knows people outside of the family struggle to understand him) but it's helped get him into more specific speech therapy and, if my sister wins relocation in family court next month, there's some social groups here in Melbourne where he can hopefully be around kids who are experiencing the same disability (it's a rare one, and there ae just more kids with it in the city) and understand what he's going through as he grows up. So yeah! It's pretty cool when a diagnosis offers not just pathways forwards, but a deeper understanding of self and points of connection too.

Recently, I made a bold decision: I rented a modest but safe apartment, far from dangerous border areas, and enrolled my children in a private school so they could resume their education.

-UNICEF indicated that 625,000 school-aged children have been deprived of education for an entire year, with over 45,000 six-year-old children joining this crisis—putting them at risk of missing a second academic year.-(Source)

It was a real attempt to return to the bare minimum of a normal life—sleeping in beds, doing homework on desks, washing their hands in a real bathroom.

- According to a report published by The Guardian in September 2024, 90% of public schools in Gaza and all 12 universities have been damaged or destroyed due to Israeli bombardment.- (Source)

My son Adam, who is 6 years old, went to kindergarten for the first time. He saw toys and books he'd never seen before, and he didn’t want to leave. It was his first true moment of joy.

My name is Enas Majed, and I’m a Mother of four:

Layan, 11 years old, in 6th grade

Sarah, 9 years old, in 4th grade

Adam, 6 years old, in kindergarten

Amir, a 10-month-old baby, born during this war

The war robbed Layan and Sarah of a year and a half of schooling. That time is gone—and now we’re trying to make up for it. We can’t afford to lose this school year too, even if continuing their education feels like a risk.

Trying to provide both education and shelter during a war isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for survival. Without it, my children’s future could disappear in the smoke and fear.

This month, I managed to cover:

Apartment rent: $700

School fees: $100

School supplies: $100

Today, I’m asking for your help to secure these basic needs for the next 6 months—covering $800 to $900 per month—for rent and continued education.

Over the past year and a half of war, we’ve spent all our savings just to survive—on food, shelter, and fleeing from danger.

All that remains is a small amount with my brother abroad, saved to help us possibly emigrate to a safe country—our only hope for long-term survival.

Your support isn’t just a donation—it’s a lifeline. A way to protect a family, give four children a chance to learn, and keep a roof over their heads in one of the most dangerous places on earth.

Your help keeps us standing. Your compassion helps us stay human.

Thank you for standing with us.
