Kon: Why are you staring at me so intently?
Tim, completely casually: I think I want to stab you with Kryptonite a few times. In different areas. For science.
Kon: ...why is my best friend considering torturing me?
Tim: I'm wondering if it takes you down so badly because it is truly that dangerous to you or if the invulnerablility of Kryptonians gives you a weak pain tolerance.
Kon: And you're asking me, a half human, instead of Clark or Kara?
Tim: They'd start telling Bruce about my "concerning villainous behavior" again.
Kon: And I won't?
Tim: I've kept fighting through pneumonia, a gunshot wound, and broken bones. And you go down when I poke you with a rock. Come on, you've got to be curious.
Kon: ...okay, I am a little curious.
Tim: YES! You won't regret this!
Kon: I will absolutely regret this.

this reminds me to ask. Hey, folks who get stuck with executive dysfunction, specifically movement initiation (like when you're trying to get up to, idk, get the ice cream you want for dessert)?
Can you do me a favor? Next time you're stuck, try wiggling your toes and then trying to Get Up To Do The Thing and tell me whether or not it helps?
I have some half assed ideas about why this might work revolving around the possibility of being able to use smaller motions to build up the dopaminergic tone in the striatum of the brain. That's a major structure involved in both motivation and movement, both of which dopamine interact powerfully with. And it does seem to be useful for me, at least. But I can't figure out if that's some internal belief thing on my end or something more generally applicable, and I would love some help figuring out if this is useful for other people.

I do understand that "intelligence tests" are inaccurate and stupid. That being said, does anyone want to see the IQ test question so terrible that I felt I had to stand up and leave the room?
#i'm not taking the test but i am doing research into the kinds of questions these use#this one was on the mensa qualifier (which seems to have been written when dinosaurs walked the earth)

Why self-diagnosed autistics are valid

medical diagnosis can be expensive
humans are the experts on their own minds
family may prevent assessment
diagnosis criteria is a poor checklist of stereotypes
diagnosis criteria ignores gender, race, sexuality, culture & more
medical diagnosis confirms autism, but doesn't create it
discrimination within the medical profession may prevent diagnosis.
Assessment waiting lists often long
medical trauma may make assessment unfeasible

I might just be slow, but . . . hold up, wait a minute something ain't right . . . I'm just kidding, but I just realized the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) has a Whiptail Gulper Eel, or Saccopharynx lavenbergi in their logo:
It's so insanely awesome, I LOVE Whiptail Gulper Eels ! I mean look at it !
COOLEST LOGO EVER ! ! !

A quick underwhelming breakfast


PhD Day 14: feeling very tired today (it's not even 7 am yet). I have so many things to do and so little time. My big deadline for my grant proposal is getting closer and closer and I feel like all these other tasks get on the way.
I just need October to end to be able to focus on the research :)

The cure to vampirism is to never get turned at all
Dick is not ashamed to admit he's in trouble.
He's surrounded on all sides by vampires (because that's a thing now), he's put in this situation by his sister which is just great. Some ancient vampire lady named Pandora says she needs him to defeat the Queen of Blood named Mary and he's pretty sure that involves him being turned into a vampire as well, which he doesn't want.
He's good but even he can tell his odds are pretty shit. There is no backup coming and even if he could call them they would never arrive on time.
And of course he's in his civvies and doesn't have any of his gear. Just fantastic.
But if he goes down he'll go down fighting.
"DANIEL!!"
everything screeches to a halt as the furious booming male voice echoes through the room.
A large ornate wooden double door in the back slams open and a young man rushes through slamming them closed behind him.
Intricate red and green flashes of energy cover the doors and then the young man turns to the crowd in the fancy crypt.
"Our young gifted prince? There is no need for you to attend this meeting, But if there is a way we may assis-?" The question hovers in the air, choked off as the young man runs forward and with hands shimmering in eerie venomous green and deep blood red energy he tears through the random vampire's throat, startling all the others.
"I'm putting an end to this madness, here and now" He drops the gradually disintegrating corpse on the ground.
"Young prince!?" Exclaims lady Pandora.
For Dick things become a blur after that. Screaming and screeching and inhuman growling. The young man easily tears through them all with his powers. It seems some form of backup did arrive, but if this is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen.
Dick doesn't understand though, he seems to be one of them so why...?
One second they are all still fighting then the next the old vampire lady is lying dead on the ground, gradually turning into dust. The vampires who remain all stare at the young man in shock. “he… he killed Pandora, our oldest. The strongest of us”
None of them seem to know what to do now. There are a lot of dead vampires all around, in Dick’s humble opinion this meeting could not have gone worse for the acolytes of shadow. He’s not feeling too upset about that though considering what they wanted from him. Still, the fact that they aren’t outright trying to kill this young prince in retaliation… he must be someone special, that alone is more than enough for Dick to keep his guard up around him.
Then the young man darts forward and grabs Dick's wrist, "we have to leave, the seal I put on the door is about to break. I won't be able to protect you from him"
"Who?" Dick can’t help but ask as they both start running for the exit. The young man quickly dragging him up the stairs. For a split second does Dick think about Melinda, he’s not entirely sure if she was among the ones killed or not. She was the one who tricked him into that mess.
Well, she absolutely knew the consequences, she told them about him being Nightwing, if whatever is left down there decides to punish her for this fiasco that’s probably what she deserves.
"I'll explain everything later, I promise, but we need to go now!"
The furious noises behind them grow steadily in volume. Danny pushes Dick forward as he slams the red fake fridge door closed behind them and another flash or red and green covers that as well, another seal of sorts most likely. The one other person in the kitchen startles as the two of them run past him.
"Who are you?"
"Call me Danny, now this way, quick!" the young prince, Danny apparently, faults over the Waffle House front desk Dick not hesitating to do the same.
"DANIEL HOW DARE YOU!" comes faintly from behind them as Danny slams the fake establishments front doors open and pulls Dick out of there.
"Oh he's next level mad" mutters Danny as they are running again. Meanwhile Dick is just very glad to be breathing in the fresh cold night air of Bludhaven.
However, his legs are having trouble keeping up with the pace, he has taken some serious hits and those things definitely don't pull any punches.
He can’t help the faint pained groan and the speed with which the other man snaps his attention back on him almost makes him flinch.
"Do you need a hand?"
"I'm fine"
"Here let me-"
Next thing Dick knows he's being carried, if he wasn't friends with so many supers and speedsters he'd probably be flailing. Instead he's just kinda used to it and lets it happen even if it’s a bit awkward what with Danny being a bit shorter than him.
He's glad when they get to a safehouse and Danny puts him on the couch. He then goes to fetch Dick the first aid kit.
"Who were we running from?"
"Old as balls vampire lord named Vladimir Masters, he’s in cahoots with the acolytes of shadow. And I guess he’s now fully in charge seeing Pandora just had her final death."
Dick pauses and just looks at him.
"Yes he's really named that" Danny looks rather tired.
"And I'm guessing he's the sort who is going to be a massive headache"
"I mean they had this whole plan of world domination, you were a key player in that plan which is now completely ruined by the way. I was part of it too but I really don't want anything to do with any of that so... here we are"
"Here we are"
It's only when Dick is fully bandaged that Danny flops down in the nearest arm chair and drops his head in his hands and takes a deep shuddering breath. Perhaps all the murder is catching up to him?
"Are you okay?"
"Don't mind me, I'm just... thirsty... I'll be fine"
"Ah yes of course, vampire."
"I'm unfortunately a vampire yeah but don’t get it twisted, I'm absolutely not one of them" Danny looks up and sneers, Dick can now clearly see the fangs. “Seeing humans as cattle… the absolute moronic-” Danny trails off in furious muttering. “living in a world with demons and angels and aliens and whatever else but no we’re the ones who deserve special treatment.”
Dick makes a choice and then gets up, Danny watching him go and curiously listening to him opening and closing something in a different room before coming back and holding out a blood bag with a bit of IV tube hanging out of it.
"Here you go."
“Oh! thank you,” Danny gladly takes the bag, "You just have bags of blood in your house?"
"You never know when you need an emergency blood transfusion. Especially considering my nightly activities." … you know that sounds kinda vampiric in it’s own way doesn’t it?
Danny snorts and starts drinking. It kind of looks like a huge capri-sun that way. It's sort of adorable.
If only it wasn't a massive plastic bag of Dick's own blood but whatever.
They both fall quiet as Danny focuses on his drink and Dick takes a moment to think about the absolute mess he just went through.
“Someone called you gifted… what did they mean by that?”
“This mostly,” Danny holds out his hand and shows Dick the strange glowing mixture of red and green energy he saw down in the crypt. “I am a huge anomaly because I became a vampire while I was half alive and half dead. What that means for the most part is enhanced powers, I am even harder to kill than a regular vampire and you cannot fix my vampirism with one of those disgusting smelling pits of… what was it called? Lar- Lazard?” “Lazarus,”
"Yes that! Anyway I am like.. the backup to their world domination plan, initially they just wanted me to be their weapon but I have morals, pesky things, super annoying according to them. Which is why they decided to ‘recruit’ you. But I managed to screw that up too.” Danny looks very satisfied with himself about that.
“Thanks for that” Dick says genuinely earning him a cheeky sharp fanged grin from Danny. Though he wished it had not involved such a massive carnage, he’s very glad he’s not a vampire right now. Beggars can’t be choosers he guesses.
“It would probably be best to get the League involved, root them all out. Vlad is definitely going to make more drastic moves now that things have turned out this way.”
Dick ponders to himself, “Yeah… let’s be Helsing about it,” He already got a Vampire on his side too.
Danny dejectedly looks down at his empty blood bag, “... can I have another?” He asks carefully.
“Sure!” responds Dick with a smile that finally manages to ease the tension out of Danny’s shoulders.
