#rigorous training

[thepastisalreadywritten]

Furry friends are patrolling the beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea all summer long, helping to keep swimmers safe.

These specially trained dogs are experts at water rescue, and they can even tow multiple swimmers to safety at once.

Dog lifeguards are typically large breeds of dogs, such as Newfoundlands, Golden Retrievers, and Labrador Retrievers.

They are known for their strong swimming skills, their calm demeanor, and their gentle nature.

To become a dog lifeguard, dogs must undergo rigorous training.

They learn how to swim in all types of water conditions, how to rescue swimmers in distress, and how to work with human lifeguards. 🏖️🐶

The Tyrrhenian Sea is located off Italy's western coast, between the Italian Peninsula and Sardinia Islands (Italian Territory) and Corsica Islands (French territory).

The sea borders several regions on the peninsula, including Lazio, Tuscany, Basilicata, Campania, and Calabria.

Not that I don’t love when Bruce’s kids outperform him and give him heart attacks, but I think it’s funnier when the kids think they are better fighters/spies/infiltrators/etc. then him but he’s just so proud so he lets them think that they are.

I think that Babs would be a really good hacker, the best in the family, but Tim, who thinks that he is the next best(and is still scarily good) has no idea that Bruce only let him think that he broke his record of hacking into secret organizations.

Dick is amazing at acrobatics, and centers his fighting style around it much more. He even won gold in the Olympics for gymnastics! Bruce doesn’t want to tell him that he trained under several gymnasts, contortionists, even ballerinas!!! and has the acrobatic fighting style mastered, so he (within reason) let’s his kid win on most occasions, he doesn’t need to fake loosing on trapeze though(I am still giving the kids SOME things they are better at…)

Cass knows that nobody can lie to her, she can spot everyone’s tells and knows most people better then they know themselves. Bruce is, however, extremely paranoid and also has a kryptonian he works with regularly. He lies so well that he can convince himself he’s telling the truth(which is literally the point in case of advanced lie detectors), and so what if he lets some of his tells be more obvious around his baby, he’s so proud of her for picking up such small things! And while Bruce is AMAZING at reading people, he can’t beat Cass, it is however much closer matched then the others think.

Let’s be honest, Bruce is banned from the kitchen and isn’t good at cooking… or so everyone thinks. While he’s not as good as Alfred or even Jason he could whip up something Gordon Ramsey would be proud of if he actually tried to.

Damian in the best fighter with swords, this is undisputed. Bruce just hopes none of his kids find his crate of custom katanas in the attic, if they do then he’ll say they are for Damian.

Tim is an amazing investigator, so good in fact, that Bruce has trusted him on his hardest cases. Everyone assumes this is because Tim is a better detective then Bruce, but he just loves seeing how proud his kid gets when he gets a breakthrough.

Batman doesn’t kill, Red hood does, everyone in their right minds knows that’s a lie. Before Robin came along, leaders of drug operations or terrorists would disappear into the night, never to be seen again. The only people who don’t seem to know this are the Bats children themselves. Sometimes you can still hear a cut off scream in the dark before the news announces a missing person that everyone just knew was doing something horrible, criminals are more wary on nights that the Bats brood are in. And people running trafficking rings pray that it’s the Hood when a knock sounds, the bat doesn’t give those people the mercy of death.

All of the bat kids know more languages then Bruce, and they keep learning more to throw him off, for a family of detectives they really should have thought about the fact that Bruce traveled the entire world, he knows ancient languages and the words that world in other galaxies use, if he could speak Martian then he would have learned it by now, he still does know that part that he’s able to learn.

Idk I just need more of Bruce being skilled at SO many things while his kids are like “oh yeah Bruce? He’s good but I could defeat him easily” and Bruce just so proud of his babies when they do ANYTHING.

Bonus:

Tim made a plan to neutralize Superman at some point, it wasn’t as good as Bruce’s but he replaced it so fast. When he later uses it to take down mind controlled or something Supes Red Robin is watching.

Nobody notices that Batman whispers something to Superman before he goes deathly pale and acts like the plan is working so well he immediately gets defeated. As for what Batman said to him? It was basically ‘Clark(they aren’t supposed to know identities here btw) my kid made this plan and I swear to every mortal and immortal force that if you don’t take the fall right now you will regret it for the rest of your life” and Batman was usually scary but this was like, God will cower before him terrifying and it scared evil Superman so much he went along with it.

Res Robin was smiling so brightly that later Clark honestly couldn’t be mad at the Bat.

Edit: I forgot to add this but unbeknownst to EVERYONE (including Alfred somehow) Bruce can and will stay awake longer then Tim and his drinks are somehow worse in terms of caffeination. The difference is that on the fourteenth day with no sleep everyone thinks it’s only been three even though he is Vividly hallucinating. The ability to hide his lack of sleep for the first week and a half leads them to believe he’s actually the worst at staying up since on what they think is his fourth day of no sleep (it’s his seventeenth) he’s talking to an apparently very vivid hallucination of Alfred the Cat in a suit and a Tiger named Tawny(he had met the tiger earlier that week) and having a civilized conversation with them

When eternal summer first came out and people were drawing/writing Makoto and Sousuke coach au’s but then the soumako coach au became real 8 years later

and to be clear being able to produce good academic writing is not the end all be all of anything lmfao i just have a specific relationship to my writing and being able to take pride in it does mean something important to me <3

Snickering as I realize Cassandra is probably under strict oath never to use her abilities in the Grand Necropolis and is always "escorted" by a very capable Watcher. Not because they don't trust her but because her abilities "declare this world real". She is sort of the living antithesis of the Fade and magic in a way not even templars can claim. Given the nature of the Grand Necropolis, one small use of any of her abilities could set off a chain reaction with catastrophic consequences.

Gotta confess... Not into coppernauts 😭😢

Heck with it *tosses AU where he was developed in the lab as a dragon hybrid onto the massive pile of AUs as well*

Don't look at me, blame @mysticdoodles for this adorableness XD

[bogkeep]

it's been over a whole month since i had a stupid argument with my parents about driving, a skill that i legally possess but hate doing because i have a special brain illness that makes me fear death and injury, but i'm still chewing over an absurd claim that it's "equally dangerous to go on a 14 hour train ride like you just did". literally how is that more dangerous. in what way. in what world. public transport is nice and good and i like it and i don't have to enter my personal torment nexus

Hello! Can I have 🍩 for Jade and 🍎 for Ladybug please?

Hello! (｡��∀･)ﾉﾞ

🍩 Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival? (for Jade)

WELL ☝️ Hm 🤓 So 🤠 This is something that I've been thinking about -- That Jade's friends in the Jewels as her rivals. Topaz, Opal, Diamond, and the others are her rivals. The Jeweler picked up these kids and pitted them against each other, making them compete and fight to be the best. That's why the other Jewels are Jade's rivals!

Her arch-nemesis is prolly the enemies she made along the way, but let's be real, her arch-nemesis is The Jeweler, the one who made her this way.

But I got an idea though 👁️👁️

Since Jade belonged to a group called The Jewels in MI6, I kinda wanna make Jade used to have a lil' crush on one of the Jewels. So... kind of Jade's childhood friend. His codename is Gold.

Imagine Gold suddenly coming into Jade's life during Ghost's time with her 🫨🫨🫨

THAT'S A THOUGHT FOR ANOTHER DAY

🍎 What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like? (for Ladybug)

Unlike Jade with her adoptive parents, Ladybug has a... tense but loving relationship with her parents. Lady has always been riddled with expectations by her parents, that she has to be 'someone' in her life. It made Lady the way she is - an achiever. She wanted to be the best in everything.

But! Ladybug is a rebel. She laughs at the face of trouble, and uses a smidge of dark humor to have a bit of fun. She's pretty laidback, but she's gifted with fast-learning, so she tends to improvise everything, and ultimately succeed in everything she does.

That's where her name comes from. 'Ladybug' the fountain of good luck.

Thank you for asking! This questions are fun 💖

RECALLING BAINS FROM THE AHL WAS THE BEST DECISION FOR REAL

[screambirdscreaming]

Reading the rationalist article the other day, there was a passing mention of a guy called Nick Bostrom, which reminded me of something funny.

This guy's a harvard professor, and deep into the rationalist panic spiral about evil AI. (I don't know how he got to be a professor, maybe he used to do something more interesting. Maybe harvard is even more full of shit than expected. Who knows.) Anyway, some years back he wrote a book, which somehow got published. And I ended up at a book talk for it.

I wasn't actually there on purpose, though? It was a double-header event, and the other speaker was Randall Munroe of xkcd, also on a book tour. And in the interest of getting a good seat, and/or seeing what all this was about, I'd showed up early enough to catch the first talk also.

It was really, really bad. He had like, graphs that were supposed to be statistical models of outcomes of something, but one of the axes was just "badness". There was at some point a lightning bolt icon to represent ai smiting us all. He jumped right into this psuedo-statistical crap without even trying to justify the base claim that machine intelligence was capable of producing a sentient being that hated humanity - he assumed everyone was working from that position by default.

But as quickly became clear, not only me but the entire audience was actually there for Randall Munroe. Who has, lets say, a different style of analytical approach to reality.

It remains, to this day, the most roasted I have ever seen a presenter be at their own presentation.

Thinking about Dagger and how tragedy afflicts her in one way it another no matter how her life goes.

To be fair there is a clear difference between moe and aegyo being that moe is (supposed to be) unintentional and aegyo is calculated. However as a burikko acolyte my studies focus on how to create the illusion of unintentional moe through careful planning and execution. So basically aegyo

Just so we’re on the same page Andre’s power is metal manipulation like magneto like Polaris so it’s totally in the realm of possibility that we haven’t seen the full force of his powers
