they should invent an understanding and intellectualizing your feelings that makes them go away!!!

Chronic Sonic pt 14

Tails has Ivo saved on his phone as “tool guy”

[the-faultofdaedalus]

my personal favourite interpretation of those sorcerer supreme tony versions is that he has simply always been doing magic and just never really realized because, of course he has. transistors don’t work like that. magnets don’t work like that. no one else on the planet can make technology work the way he makes it work. to be clear. transistors do not and cannot do the shit he makes them do. sorry buddy i know you wanted to do science but unfortunately you’ve always been doing mage fuckery. rip.

It is so, so important to me that people understand that Tim didn't figure out the bats because Dick was a "Show off". Like yes, Dick Grayson is the most flamboyant, dramatic ass man you will ever meet.

But the quadruple somersault? There's no way that was because dick was just showing off. Because you're telling me Bruce Wayne, who's so committed to hiding his identity that he literally acts like a completely different person out of the mask in public just to ward suspicion, would miss the fact that Robin regularly uses the flying Grayson's trademark move? There's literally no way.

In the comics we see Tim explain his deductive process to Dick and Alfred and they're both surprised impressed whatever. We don't see him explain it to Bruce. I think Bruce would be surprised and shocked that a 9 year old was able to put the pieces together but I don't think he'd be surprised that the quadruple somersault gave it away.

So if Bruce was possibly aware of such an obvious give away, why let it continue?

I'll tell you why.

It really comes down to the physics

So Dick was 9 when he started out right? That means the most he'd have likely weighed was 43kgs or roughly 95lbs in freedom units.

But Dick and both of his parents are gymnasts who tend to be smaller. So he was likely less than that.

In physics, rotating objects build up angular momentum (this is how bikes stay up right for example). The more rotation, the more momentum. And objects with less mass build up that momentum much faster than those that are heavier.

Robin constantly has to fight people who are nearly 3 times his size. I teach 8 year olds, they're tiny. A quadruple somersault for a small boy that weighs less than a hundred pounds is a brutal weapon. Especially if you add in the acceleration from gravity as he drops in from above.

And I can guarantee you this logic tracks because Dick literally utilizes this idea, without the somersault, in the 2009 teen titans cartoon.

Yeah, that's right. We're talking about the infamous knee drop.

Like it is borderline savage. Add in a quadruple somersault and the resulting force is nearly fatal. It's likely the main reason Batman would ever allow him to do it with the cape on.

Also, Dick landing feet first on the penguin in the first image probably gave the guy severe back issues

my take on an arcane university au (jinx and ekko are top of the class)

[certainlyathrill]

hey guys, quick question - what the fuck is their deal?

[timedog]

hello kinblr. i think. perhaps! we should be kinder to physical shifters!

some of y'all talk about physical shifters the way kintok talks about physical therians and it's kind of disgusting.

some of you will say "not all physical therians are delusional! and even if they are, they're just as valid as anycreature who isn't" in the same breath as "physical shifters are delusional. you cannot physically become an animal :/ you have clinical lycanthropy PLEASE seek help and stop getting ur delusion everywhere i just had the floors waxed"

you swear you can experience therianthropy on all levels including physical, but call physical shifters crazy for experiencing physical shifting. you cannot say you love physical therians and then exclude therians who physically shift! you are just as bad as anyone who denies or invalidates physical therians because "you can't have wolf dna"

these communities were created by and for the therians you want to throw under the bus. they created these spaces for us, and you need to act like it

my fav Harvey characterization that I love to daydream abt is the stark difference between classic “slipping on banana peels” and “glasses nervously slipping down nose bridge” Harvey and when he’s in total doctor mode. like his ass does NOT play around in that clinic mama. not clumsy whatsoever. if he tosses a used syringe over his shoulder it goes straight into the trash can. very stern, no playing around attitude. and then at the very end of the check up he’ll walk you out of the clinic and immediately trip on his shoelace as he crosses over the threshold. that’s the hottest shit ever I think.

[carefulzombie]

i know jamie gets a lot of grief for not Getting future stuff both by fans and the canon itself but man i feel like he did eons better in his situation than one could expect from literally anyone from the 1700s suddenly becoming a time traveler. he was one adaptable motherfucker who cares if he doesn’t get airplanes

Some observations from Buck & Eddie calling each other best friends…

Beyond Eddie only calling Buck his best friend once (after hesitating), I find it very interesting that so far we’ve never actually seen them call each other best friends to each other’s faces. Unlike Hen and Chimney, who do that easily and consistently.

Something about how Buck can call them best friends easily but Eddie seemingly can’t (it took until season 8 for him to even say it once), and neither of them define their relationship where the other person can hear…

(Then the fact that all but one of the “best friend”s are from episodes that address one or both of their sexualities in some way…and the one exception is about Chris and is literally from the “there’s nobody in this world I trust with my son more than you” episode.)

Emmet’s and Jirachi’s road trip through time and space

So I’ve fallen into the trainmen fandom, ig. I just want those guys to find eachother! And that’s what fanfiction is for, so. Here’s one of mine, where Jirachi is so offended that they can’t immediately grant Emmet’s wish (to see his brother again) that they join Emmet on a road trip to find him.

I saw @flandrepudding draw self ship fanart of themselves (here’s a link to the post bc their art is beautiful!!) with some epic Athena designs and I wanted to do that too unfortunately I’m personally probably too aroace for that so here’s my version of me meeting epic!athena

I feel chronically ill post-canon Siffrin would go one of two ways at first:

1. They try to ignore the pain for as long as possible and end up overexerting themselves to the point of getting hurt, or

2. He DOES attempt to rest, but feels so catastrophically guilty about it and spirals so hard that there's barely any actual rest happening and he's just perpetually exhausted bedrotting at that point
