#What Vitamins Help Grow Taller

[peachesgaeass]

MHA Spider Man Au

So.

I just had a hyperfixation research high on spiders, and had the idea to write an MHA Spiderman Au.

This is basically a brain dump at this point

Spider Man Au

Shinsou Hitoshi/Midoriya Izuku

Izuku doesn’t get a quirk but still wants to be a hero. He gets bitten by a radioactive spider.

Izuku might be trans male.

He goes to UA.

Maybe EraserMic adoption. Dunno yet.

1. spider's don't have bones=Izuku having really flexible bones(sorta like rubber)- it gives structure to hold up his body while playing with the idea of bones.

2. Maybe have fangs-even if their small- with venom that could have an effect on the person they bite

3. Has blue blood- just thinking it would be cool(the spiders haemoglobin also produces copper, causing the oxygen to oxidise the copper giving it it's blue colour)

4. And since spiders communicate through vibrations in the ground, he could be able to feel people coming, but also communicate with spiders to get Intel(could possibly train them to be an army)

5. He could also have low iron as spiders haemoglobin doesn't produce iron like humans but copper( could also decide to make it so the iron production is slowed down)–If this is to be the case the blood would be purple if you also choose for the blue blood option as there would have to be a higher concentration of copper in his blood.

6. Depending on what the base of the radioactive spider is it could stunt his hight or cause him to grow( I like short Izuku, or at least Hitoshi being taller)

7. His hero name could be spithra, the Old English word 'spider' derived from, meaning spinner.

8. Some spiders have up to seven types of silk glands, each creating a different type of silk—such as smooth, sticky, dry, or stretchy. This could allow Izuku to choose what type of silk he wants to make for whatever purpose it's used for.

9. As some male spiders give dead flies to the females as presents, could lead to Izuku having a tendency to gift tiny things to people he cares about– like rocks, bones, etc.

10. If the spider's base is a jumping spider(tiny Izuku), as they can leap up to 40 times their own body length. Meaning they would be able to jump over 230 feet, as that is what a human would be able to if they could jump 40x their height.

11. Scientists found that a spider's silk contains vitamin K, which helps reduce bleeding. So this might help Izuku if he was to perform immediate first aid.

12. Some species of jumping spiders can see light spectrums that humans cannot. Some can see both UVA and UVB light– this would just be a fun little bit or Izuku to find out.

13.Different drugs affect the way spiders spin their webs. For example, spiders on LSD spin beautiful webs, while spiders on caffeine spin terrible webs. So if Izuku deducts this then he sadly can't be a caffeine addict. 😿

14. As this sounds like something Izuku would know I'm joimg to put it in–Spider webs are not passive traps. Instead, because of electrically conducive glue spread across their surface, webs spring towards their prey. Scientists also found that the glue spirals on the web distort Earth’s electric field within a few millimeters of the web– just a little fun fact.

Critique is welcome. I wanna hear your guys thoughts and if you would be interested in reading it.

Izuku's fist interaction with Eraserhead

Make room for mushrooms this week as National Mushroom Day is observed every year on October 15th! Fall is the perfect time to celebrate the fascinating world of fruiting fungi, as the damper, cooler conditions usher in prime time for a host of these deliciously tasty morsels.

Mushrooms can provide a wonderful substitute for meat and seafood in many recipes, including your Thanksgiving and holiday spreads. We carry fresh mushrooms in all our farmers market locations, where you can find them being sold by our dedicated mushroom vendors and at some of our diversified farmstalls.

We recently chatted with Ted Hall from Mushrooms.NYC to learn more about their grow spaces in the southern Catskills and the range of edible mushrooms they produce year-round.

How did Mushrooms.NYC get started?

I have a background in climate policy studies with Columbia University Earth Institute, while my wife Anne was a chef. We are passionate about food security and access, regenerative farming and nutrition health and education. In 2017, we were expecting our second child and had started an urban farm in Far Rockaway. We found out about a mushroom farm in New York City that was looking for soil and needed help turning around its operations to stay afloat.

Anne expressed interest in taking over the reins of this farm and working with restaurants to supply them with locally grown, gourmet fresh mushrooms, while I managed the on-the-ground aspects. We took a leap of faith and, along with another friend, we were able to turn around the operation from losing money to becoming economically viable. According to Cornell Cooperative Extension's Urban Agriculture and Small Farms program we were the first and only mushroom farm in all five boroughs as of 2019!

Unfortunately, we had to demolish our New York City grow space during the lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic. We moved our operations to Ellenville, NY where we currently employ a team of nine people. Mushrooms.NYC is part of a Baha'i "Storehouse Cooperative” so we continue to share our profits and vital resources with everyone in Manhattan who we’ve worked with before.

What type of mushrooms do you cultivate year-round?

We have one small, highly controlled indoor grow space and another larger space that’s less regulated like a ventilated greenhouse using natural sunlight and heat to keep things from freezing in the winter.

Both areas are set up to be as passive as possible and use the least amount of energy while working with the existing weather patterns. These spaces allow us to consistently produce mushrooms year-round using a hands-on approach that is a lot less automated and energy intensive than other mushroom growing operations. Winter is always a bit trickier though as we have to use heat when conditions get really cold.

We organically cultivate many kinds of mushrooms that are packed with essential vitamins, compounds and minerals that support healthy individuals. All our mushrooms provide Vitamin B-12 when they are slow-cooked:

Shiitake: Shiitake mushrooms feature all nine amino acids which make them a full and complete protein and a great substitute for animal-derived protein.

Oyster (Blue/Silver, Brown, Gold, Pink, White): These common culinary mushrooms are prized for their delicate texture and mild, savory flavor. Oyster mushrooms also provide a full protein.

King Oyster/Trumpet

Lion’s Mane: These beautiful mushrooms look like waterfalls or icicles. When blanched in salted water, lion's mane mushrooms take on the flavor and texture of succulent shellfish such as crab or lobster, so make a great plant-based substitution.

White Coral: A relative of lion’s mane that’s more textured. It’s harder to cultivate so we don’t always have it.

Pioppino: An Italian species that’s also known as Black Poplar Mushroom or Velvet Pioppini. These mushrooms are very flavorful, almost like a taller, slender shiitake. Their flavor spreads on everything to just cover a dish.

Black Pearl: A species that lies somewhere in-between a King Oyster/Trumpet or a Blue Oyster.

Hen of the Woods: This species also provides a full protein but it’s very tricky to cultivate. But we just had our first successful cultivation using spores sourced from growers in Pennsylvania!

For our indoor cultivation, we use a growing medium made up of milled hard woods and certified organic grain that is the by-product of other operations. We were using propane to pasteurize our medium, but, in our ongoing quest to become more sustainable, we have switched to electric-generated steam. We would ideally like to convert the process to using solar or biogas, or even methane if we can do it in a well-ventilated area.

We also have outdoor cultivated growth in a forested area just under an acre in size that mimics a natural environment, which means we must watch for pest activity. These mushrooms are grown in substrate that’s free of contamination from other spores, so we know exactly what species we’re harvesting. The mushrooms are watered entirely by natural precipitation and are loaded with Vitamin D thanks to their exposure to natural sunlight.

We grow Gold and Silver Oyster, Lion’s Mane, Pioppino, Shiitake and sometime White Coral in this outdoor space. We can even produce a small amount of blue oyster and shiitake outside towards the end of winter as long as there is a little bit of snow melting during the daytime. These winter mushrooms are insanely tasty!

However, late spring and late summer-early fall are the sweet spots for mushroom growing, both indoors and outdoors. There is a big explosion of forage during these periods and our operations line up much better with the climate at that point.

What types of mushrooms do you forage for?

We’ve always foraged for wild mushrooms, but up until recently we were just doing it recreationally. Two years ago, we were able to obtain a license to forage nationally, which is not easy to come by as most folks only have a state foraging license.

Foraging has become more challenging these days as there are now commercial entities that are over-harvesting wild mushrooms and shipping them in from the west coast. There’s a lot of pressure to over-harvest mushrooms for profit. Some recreational foragers are also harvesting so much that it’s destroying the ecological integrity of the mushrooms' ecosystems.

Mushrooms.NYC is committed to harvesting our wild forage in a way that’s sustainable and sensitive to the ecosystem surrounding our farm. We are a mission-driven cooperative so are not trying to sell as many mushrooms as possible. The way we forage is a lot more labor intensive and less extractive, so the quality of our harvest is higher and relatively more expensive.

In addition to the pressures of over-harvesting, wild mushrooms are also sensitive to climate change. Mushrooms need snow as part of their lifecycle. Because of temperature change here in the Catskills, the winter-round snowpack is receding and has retreated to higher and higher elevations. A lot of well-known patches that had been there for generations are not producing edible mushrooms anymore. We are seeing a lot of erosion in our intact forests which is an indication that their mycological foundations are starting to give out. This means we are having to venture higher up each year to find our wild mushrooms.

We haven’t had much luck with Morels. We were able to find a small number last year, but it wasn’t enough to bring to the farmers market. However, we do collect and sell several types of locally foraged wild mushrooms including:

Black Trumpet

Chaga

Chanterelles

Chicken of the Woods

Coral

Hen of the Woods

Honey

Lobster

Reishi

Turkey Tail (we forage for several medicinal varieties)

Regional varieties like Bolete that are super tasty!

Thank you, Ted, for sharing these fascinating and fun fungi insights. In addition to their variety of fresh, gourmet mushrooms, and as part of their mission to spread access to fresh, nutritious food, Mushrooms.NYC also sells ready to fruit “grow blocks”. These kits are as easy as growing basil and will fruit for a couple of years so you can grow your very own culinary mushrooms at home.

🅱️lease more of the A/B/O headcanons, I am BEGGING you

and you shall receive, though I'm still on my old people shtick. I also focused a lot on the fangs this time around. slightly nsfw so I'm putting it under a read more.

Lt. Surge- oh fuck me, am I right?

\ is actually a Beta but EVERYONE assumes he's an Alpha. he's got the trade mark anger and cockiness of one but in reality he's just a veteran happy to whoop some kids ass's and get paid for it.

\ very big dad energy to his Gym Trainers and will get all growly if their hurt or sick. though they don't get sick as often as they get hurt by the electric types around the gym.

\ his instinct are stronger then the normal person's so he's totally bit a Pokémon back when he was younger and now his mouth is filled with electrical burns/wounds. if he sticks his tongue out it looks like an Ariados web of raised wounds. he's not a fan of crunching down on hard things and it sucks because he was an ice muncher, still is in his heart but now he has to actually suck on the cubs - it helps keeps his patience in check sometimes because his mouth would be full and he can't speak.

Koga - I hate you yet I also adore you, in a way

\ an Omega but acts like an Alpha but a lot of the older league members know because of the Slick Incident of 94.

\ prefers to be chased by possible bed partners instead of being the chaser, but there's a few people he'd chase for if given the chance.

\ really REALLY tiny fangs, even for an Omega and got made fun of it during childhood and early adult hood. so now he has these teeth cap things that make it seem his canines are longer.

Clair - hello, hello

\ Alpha but acts more like a Beta and even submissive like an Omega behind close doors. it's almost natural for her since she grew up in Lance's shadow and was expected to present as a Beta at most.

\ she prefers more dominate Omega's as bed partners and would sometimes actively seek out Omega's that were taller then her. gender doesn't matter to her as long as the partner is just more dominant. in the end those people actually become her friends a lot of times afterwards and it's nice.

\ very long and skinny fangs and her parents kept taking her to the doctor in the Blackthorne City to figure out what the hell is wrong with her. nothing way, the teeth just naturally grew like that.

Lance - ya old ginger fuck

\ Omega and hates it. became both Johto and Kanto's champion just to prove his parents wrong after calling him worthless.

\ chunky semi short fangs and he teethed a lot while growing up and still continues to teeth to this day. the E4 of both regions have gotten him plenty of those chewing stims as little gifts during the holidays or when he's super stressful near the ending of the League's seasons. his favorite are the crystal shape ones that are a bit more tougher then the usual squishy rubber.

\ likes to fight his bed partners and be pressed into the bed, genuinely doesn't want the control in the end and it feels nice to him when it's stripped away. this means he's very particular about his partners and also wants someone bigger then him, though if their really strong then body size doesn't matter.

Brawly - lemme see those gains-PFT

\ above average Alpha for the Hoenn region, it helps that he's training almost every day and is on top of what his body needs food wise and focusing on what's missing like calcium or other vitamins.

\ very spry and energetic and acts like a puppy, this leads to Wallace and Steven in keeping an eye on him during league parties and gala's Brawly attends because he can get worked up really fast.

\ unlike most Hoenn Alpha's that seek their pleasure, Brawly almost exclusively gives. he doesn't mind receiving but prefers his partners to be the canter of the attention for most of the night.

[guzhufuren]

was in a new kindergarten group today and some of the kids didn't want to finish their lunches. the teachers asked them to please eat or started threatening to not let the kids go home in the evening and similar stupidass stuff like that but. i decided to help out and every kid i talked to finished their meal. how i did that is i explained to them individually what every kind of produce on their plate is needed to the body for: veggies for vitamins that won't let you sneeze and cough in winter, meat for growing stronger bones and getting taller, and of course the thing i learned in Skam: potatoes will make your skin strong and pretty god bless

Winning the Weight Game: Find the Best Weight Gainer for You

Have you ever felt that your weight-gain goal is a never-ending hamsterwheel? Adding pounds can be a challenge for many. We'll explore the weight-gainers available to you, and the options that will help you gain more pounds faster than you could say "pass me the potatoes." The best weight gainer helps to fuel intense workouts and recovery.

What is weight gainer exactly? Imagine a mixture that contains a variety of carbohydrates, proteins, fats and calories in a single gulp. This is the perfect solution for those who are constantly struggling to keep up with their avian hunger but need extra energy.

You'll soon find yourself in a jungle of colorful products. Imagine you're on your grocery store quest and are bewildered at the number of bags and boxes that promise Herculean power with just a teaspoon of magic powder. Some are taller, but not all.

First up, Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass. Like a reliable friend who is always there when you ask for a favor. The serving size is a whopping 1,250 calories, and it boasts 50 grams of quality protein. Don't forget about the glutamine and creatine, both of which give a boost to your muscle recovery. Just mix with milk and chug.

Let's now talk about Muscle Milk gainer. Like the secret weapon you keep in your locker. It's not only packed with calories, it is also armed with Probiotics. Imagine it like a Swiss Army knife for your stomach, while also accelerating the caloric intake. It has a creamy texture and doesn't sit like a brick. Yummy!

You may have heard it before: "Go Big or Go Home". BSN True Mass is a product that lives by this motto. Every serving delivers 700 calories, 46 grams of proteins and essential amino acids. This critter is a great meal for enhancing muscle mass.

Don't forget Dymatize super mass gainer on your journey through supplements. Imagine a miniature Thanksgiving in every sip. Every serving packs 1,280 calories! Add 52 grams of high-quality protein to the mix, and you've got a vitamin arsenal that is impressive. You'll be ready to go into beast mode with this doctor-recommended diet.

Of course, drinking these shakes only represents one aspect of the equation. These shakes are not a genie lamp that will instantly transform you into a beautiful woman. All the calories won't do any good if your body isn't also working out. Workouts are not a backbreaking task, but a way to build muscle.

You should also always check the sugar and fat contents when choosing a supplement. It's not a good idea to add unhealthy fats, or have sugar surges that are more hectic than a classroom full of caffeine-fed toddlers. Aim for a diet that is balanced and doesn't cause your body to crash.

As we conclude this calorie fantasy, keep in mind that gaining weight requires both consistency and patience. You won't have a forest overnight, but if you keep nurturing it and tending to the seed, you will soon see it grow. Grab that weight-gainer and gulp with gusto. Then, like a toddler who is learning to walk, slowly march toward your goal.

Height Increase: What You Need to Know

Height plays a significant role in one's confidence and overall appearance. Many people wonder if they can increase their height, especially after puberty. While genetics is the primary factor determining your height, certain lifestyle choices can help you reach your maximum potential height.

1. Nutrition Is Key

A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, protein, and zinc is crucial during growth years. These nutrients support bone health and growth. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and dairy in your diet.

2. Exercise Regularly

Physical activity, particularly exercises like stretching, swimming, and yoga, can improve posture and strengthen muscles, making you appear taller. Regular exercise also promotes the release of growth hormones, which are essential during the growth phase.

3. Adequate Sleep

During deep sleep, the body releases growth hormones. Ensuring 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night can support healthy growth. For children and teenagers, more sleep is often recommended to aid in their development.

4. Posture Matters

Good posture can make a significant difference in how tall you appear. Slouching or hunching over can compress your spine, making you look shorter. Practicing proper posture by keeping your back straight and shoulders aligned can add a few inches to your height.

5. Avoid Growth-Stunting Factors

Factors such as smoking, excessive caffeine intake, and poor nutrition can negatively impact growth. It's essential to avoid these habits, especially during the growing years.

6. Consider Growth Supplements Cautiously

While some supplements claim to enhance height, it's vital to approach them with caution. Always consult a healthcare professional before trying any growth supplements to ensure they're safe and effective.

Final Thoughts

While you can't change your genetics, focusing on a healthy lifestyle can help you reach your tallest potential. Remember, height isn't the only factor in self-worth—confidence and a positive attitude go a long way in making a lasting impression.

Can You Grow Sweet Potatoes in Texas?

Are you ready to dig into the world of sweet potatoes, Texas style? Y'all are in for a treat! Growing sweet potatoes in the Lone Star State is like a wild rodeo ride, full of flavor, fun, and a few surprises. So saddle up and get ready to wrangle those tubers with these tips. We'll have you saying, "Hot diggity-dang, these sweet potatoes are mighty fine!" in no time. Choose the Texas-Friendly Varieties: Opt for sweet potato varieties that can handle the Texas heat, such as 'Beauregard,' 'O'Henry,' or 'Red Garnet.' They'll thrive like true Lone Star champions. Sunny Side Up: Sweet potatoes are sun worshipers, so plant them in a spot that gets a full day of glorious Texas sunshine. They'll soak up that vitamin D and grow like they're in their own sweet potato paradise. Don't Mess with Texas Soil: Sweet potatoes enjoy loose, sandy soil with good drainage. If your soil is heavy clay, add some organic matter like compost or well-rotted cow chips to loosen things up. Yeehaw! Time It Just Right: Plant your sweet potatoes in late spring or early summer when the soil temperature reaches around 60°F (15°C). That's when the Texan soil is just right for these rootin' tootin' tubers. Space Out, Y'all: Give those sweet potatoes some room to stretch their legs. Space them about 12-18 inches apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart. They'll appreciate the elbow room for their underground antics. Mulch Like a Pro: Lay down a thick layer of mulch around your sweet potatoes. It'll keep those pesky Texas weeds at bay and help retain moisture in the soil. That's what we call a win-win, partner. Texas-Sized Watering: Sweet potatoes like to stay hydrated, especially during the scorching Texas summers. Water them deeply and regularly, making sure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Hydration station, y'all! Fertilize with Flair: Before planting, mix in some organic fertilizer to give your sweet potatoes a boost. They'll appreciate the extra nutrients as they grow big and bold like true Texas heroes. Watch for the Lone Star Pests: Keep an eye out for pesky critters like the sweet potato weevil or aphids. Show 'em who's boss by using organic pest control methods or calling in the cavalry (beneficial insects). Weed Wrangling: Don't let those pesky Texas weeds hog all the nutrients. Regularly weed your sweet potato patch to keep them at bay and ensure your tubers get all the attention they deserve. Mound 'Em Up: As your sweet potato vines spread, gently mound soil or mulch around the base of the plants. This encourages more tuber formation and makes your sweet potatoes go, "Yeehaw, we're growing big and strong!" Embrace the Texas Heat: Sweet potatoes thrive in Texas heat, but they may need some shade during scorching afternoons. Provide a little shade using row covers or plant them near taller crops for some cool vibes. Be Patient, Partner: Sweet potatoes take their own sweet time to develop those tasty tubers. It can take anywhere from 90 to 120 days, so put on your patient boots and let them do their thing. Harvest Like a Texan: When the foliage starts to yellow and die back, it's time to wrangle those sweet potatoes out of the ground. Grab your gardening gloves and give 'em a gentle tug. Yeehaw, you've struck gold! Cure Like a Cowboy: After harvest, let your sweet potatoes cure in a warm and dry spot (around 80-85°F or 27-29°C) for about a week. This toughens their skin and improves their flavor. Ain't that something? Store 'Em, Texas Style: Once cured, store your sweet potatoes in a cool (55-60°F or 13-15°C), dark, and well-ventilated place. Keep 'em safe from critters and enjoy the taste of Texas all year round. Share the Bounty: Show off your Texas-sized harvest and share the love with friends, family, and neighbors. Everyone will be hollerin', "Can I get a taste of them sweet potatoes, partner?" Plan for Next Year: Save some of your harvested sweet potatoes as "slips" for next year's crop. Simply place them in water to sprout, then transplant the sprouts into the garden. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Experiment with Recipes: Get creative with your Texas-grown sweet potatoes! Whip up some sweet potato pie, spicy fries, or even a hearty Tex-Mex casserole. The possibilities are as big as the Texas sky. Enjoy the Sweet Potato Ride: Growing sweet potatoes in Texas is a wild ride, filled with flavor, pride, and a touch of Texas magic. So sit back, relax, and savor every delicious bite. Giddy up, sweet potato lovers! Remember, growing sweet potatoes in Texas is a true adventure, but with these tips and a can-do Texan spirit, you'll be reaping a bountiful harvest in no time. Happy growing, partner! Yeehaw!

Style is a Prison - Art Rant

I have been mislead. The limited patterns of internet illustrator fame have thrown me into a cycle of repetition and stagnant styles designed to please an algorithm. Not to go onto the tragic statement that art has died (or that the joy of doing so has left us), but to ponder why the mentors and aspirations of the artistic and online world have adapted to become so shallow.

As with many others, I started dabbling in art during the infant era of digital media and fandom. All the artists I craved to copy had a single trait in common. Each had a specific style. The eyes were perfectly angular, and the colors were so sharp and simplistic. Or maybe the behemoth collection of lines and texture drew me in for another. Never did they dare dabble in each other's methods; or more accurately, never would they dare share a divergence in the nature of their art.

I watched the world shift from Youtube speedpaints and animations to brief Instagram posts. The simplicity was gratifying and following the few of my remaining idols became easier than ever before. This era was after I had began my own digital art journey, and had fought for years to find something both unique and uniform to fill a sense of identity, not accomplishment. Who was I if not an artist? Who was I if my eyes shifted from sharp to round, and colors from bright to pastel? This online world was where accusations of theft and copying assaulted every user who referenced a little too closely, studied a little too hard. (Of course, not to say art theft is ever justified. I also believe that targeting beginner artists for using elements of someone they look up to while finding their own artistic standing isn't always a crime. It's a very delicate line that I will not focus on too heavily in this Tumblr rant)

High school art class was a bore. It wasn't cutthroat hobbyist activity, but realism studies for the gifted. Left behind were those who didn't grow up with mentors who guided them down the path of exploration and anatomical accuracy. Traditional art was a bore because the culture behind it was for the practically talented, not for the unidentified folk like me.

I dropped watercolor. I dropped Warrior Cats. I dropped DeviantArt scene dogs and I fostered my resentment for studies and warm-ups. There was no outlet designed for me. No informational video telling me what I preferred and also, what would help me grow. Did you know a warm-up sketch can be cubes on a tablet or spirals going all the way down? Who was going to tell me pixel art can teach color, and blocking can teach value, and that tracing is invaluable to the student? Pinterest didn't. YouTube didn't.

No one posted SpeedPaints of studies, just their media favored by the audience. The same type of shading that was so beloved by their commissioners, the same way of filling up the canvas.

I ate those patterns up, but never grew taller. I became frustrated with drawing my own cat characters over and over again on a 3/4s view with minimal shading. My references were Unsplash photos of cats on a log or fence post. Very aesthetic.

(But who could blame those online artists? The world is a fighting pit and everyone else online is competition that could steal away income. It is clearly not the fault of the audience or creator, but the fault of internet infrastructure.)

I wrote this to solidify my adoption of a new mentality: my art is a sapling. It needs sunlight, so color, and water, so elements of shape or a lack-thereof. It needs good dirt to grow roots, which yes, includes structural studies. Not always about the joints and ligaments, but about dresser legs and cloth too. And I will raise this metaphor with patience and love, and a develop a deeper understanding of why I still engage with art and the community surrounding it. I don't need to conform to a style and only build on a single theme. Vitamins need variety to raise anything at all.

Hi, I saw that you had open requests and I wanted to ask a Yan! Batfam HC:

How would a platonic Yandere! Batfam react to a foster sister who, well, doesn't grow very tall?

All the family memebers of the Batfam are, to least to say, giants. Even the shortes one is quite tall than the avarage height. (All of them, except the child version of Damian, are between 5'5 and 6'2 feet tall. )

But what would happen if his adopted little sister, who eats well, lives a healthy life, has no signs of illness and so on, becomes short in height? She is simply no taller than 5 feet and that's it. All of them grew up well! why you were the exception?

Would they worry that their little sister wouldn't grow up no matter how hard they tried, or would they be happy to have a "pocket edition" little sister?

Thank you so much for requesting Bub and I hope you like it!! I'm so sorry it took so long, I started writing this immediately but I felt like it was too short and I just said fuck it today and wanted to post no matter how short (thought I added a bit more) Also I turned this into GN reader because in the end there was only like two things indicating (Y/N)'s gender and I wanted to appeal to everyone, I'm so sorry if you strictly wanted female reader!! (tbh I wasn't reading it properly when I was editing this oop-)

And I hear what your saying!!! What an amazing idea to imagine,

~Mwah

I don’t want to keep the height strictly 5 foot just for the x reader element, I never want to force one body type into my writings (except for chubby) just because I want everyone to feel included and one body’s deformed shortness will be different to another. 

But yes!! 

I head canon that all the bat-boys have little snacks that they keep, some not as nutritional as others, but they all end up having more healthy snacks on them because of little ol’ you.

Sandwiches with whatever spread you like, more perishable sandwiches are only brought at short distances not missions (if so, they are bought fresh), cut up fruit, fruit snacks, the jelly beans you find at pharmacies with the red and white cross on the bag, bottles of water and little cartons of juice of whatever flavour you might prefer that day (trust me, Alfred always somehow knows what flavour you’re going to like that day). 

I feel like they would all worry about your short height to an extent, Bruce being the worry wart, constantly getting you checked out every two weeks, making sure you take vitamin gummies (because let’s face it, they’re better than pills and I will NOT take pills).

Second to ol’ Brucey is Jason, he died- and he probably freaks the FUCK out when you keep growing but you don’t show any signs of getting taller. At first, he keeps assuring himself that you’ll grow.

“They’re just a late bloomer”

“May- Maybe Their just short!” 

“Why arn’t they growin- Oh my god is (Y/N) dying?! I told that old man to kidnap them earlier!” 

Oh, Jason definitely watches you when you sleep (like the rest of them) and furrows his brows, trying to figure out an answer to why you’re so small.

The rest of them do have lingering thoughts but they can see Bruce dragging you to the doctors every other week and they make sure your on top of your meals and medicine so they don’t really outwardly do anything else. Tim definitely does poke at your height as a joke, but it does help his delusion of you needing him, like the rest of the fam. All of the boys definately try to 'secretly" show of their strength around you so you rely on them more, though you figured this out quickly and it's somewhat amusing to see them show off their muscles like a peacock.

If you do feel bad about how you look the rest of them will shoot Tim down immediately and praise you up and down. Some of the other more silent boys might do this in a more discreet way but rest be assured your getting the floor you walk on kissed. They might even let you have very light work outs! (Without any equipment) though it usually turns into you sitting on their backs to help them with their push ups or holding their feet so they can send you a compliment or tease as they come up from a sit up.

Foster! Reader is fed a lot- Full plates at every meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner is ate and there is a strict ‘NO SKIPPING’ policy. Even if it’s just a few bites, even just one, your ass better eat and after a fit from you because you watched your siblings skip their meals without any harassment or scolding, the rest of the family now has the same rule as you (much to Bruce’s chagrin after trying to make his kids have a normal eating schedule since forever.) 

Overall they would just be a bit more strict with eating rules and making sure you feel good in your body, but other than that mostly the same.

Aww your just a little thing, you wouldnt survive in the real world cub. Hu? What do you mean "the doctor says I'm healthy and fit?", you might be but your still oh so small and you need your family to protect you! Can't you see how weak you are compared to our big beefy bodies? You don't have to worry your cute little head about it though! Your boys will always be here to take care of you.

sypnosis ; two for one? yeah.

“Did you accidentally take…?” You looked at rhea, as she ran her hands over her hair, making you rub her back.

“Your not supposed to take that!” You groaned…running your hand over your head.

You have been taking injections from the donors, rhea had some prenatal vitamin serum, through a syringe, but she took…the wrong one.

You were supposed to carry the baby…that this rate, you both probably will

“Well why haven’t you labeled the syringes then?!” Rhea argued, feeling some vomit coming up from her throat, causing you to jump.

“Arguing isn’t the best thing right now.” You gritted your teeth in panic.

This wasn’t the plan.

“We have to take pregnancy tests then.” You said, causing her to look at you, feeling her inner panic.

“What if it is positive?” You spoke lowly, grabbing her hand.

Rhea was panicking on the inside, but nonetheless, she would imagine herself pregnant…and you…at the same time.

“Then i would be pregnant, and we’d make some damn good moms then princess.” Rhea smiled as she stood up, grabbing your hand, kissing your lips as you two hugged.

Before you broke the kiss, grabbing two ClearBlue tests, handing her one before some tears came out of her eyes, god she was even shaking.

“Baby…” you frowned, rubbing her back, as she cried onto your shoulder a bit, before you wiped her tears with your two thumbs, as the taller stood soon you, kissing you forehead.

She was so nervous.

“Let’s do this.” Rhea sighed, tapping your behind, following you out the bathroom, before using the second bathroom.

*20 minutes later…*

“My god im scared.” Rhea confessed again, spicing back and forth, she was gear ready for tonight, trying on some before she felt bad morning sickness.

After releasing she took the the wrong syringe days ago, her throwing up, her randomly eating your pregnancy cravings, set off a red flag for you..

The effects don’t take long to kick in, but she was different, so it took awhile.

“Calm down…it’s okay.” You smiled a bit, as she follows behind you, the tests turned over, looking at her as she was eager to turn hers over.

“It beeped babe.” Rhea panicked again, sighing as you chuckled, as you placed your fingers on yours.

“Me first?” You spoke, as rhea nodded.

Turning yours over…you weren’t surprised, you were indeed pregnant, as you squealed, tears falling out of yours as Rhea’s nerves got so bad, she was feeling multiple things all at once.

What would she look like pregnant? Would she be a good mother? Would she lose her baby early to stress? Will she get fired?

God she didn’t know what to feel.

Rhea touched hers, before flipping it over, groaning as it still said three dots, before trying to throw it, the infamous words flashed.

Pregnant.

Rhea stood shocked, looking at you as you hugged her tight, feeling her happy cries along your chest, holding you by your waist as you squealed in excitement.

God even though that wasn’t the plan, she was still ready than ever to be a mother.

“Demi!-” you squealed, as she picked you up, wrapping your legs around her face, feeling her cries grow more, you didn’t know what to do.

“How are you gonna announce this to Vince? Without his old ass blabbering it?” You laughed, grabbing her face, as she shrugged, you staring into her orbs, wiping her tears.

God you two were so cute.

“I’m gonna have to call maternity leave on your behalf.” Rhea spoke, sniffling, she was really gonna be pregnant.

“I love you.” Rhea softly said, kissing your lips over and over again, as she placed pecks on your lips, you two whispering sweet nothings in between.

“Your pretty tall…how are we gonna hide we’re pregnant?” You giggled, placing your chin on her chest, her rubbing your lower back.

“We’re gonna have to have our parents stay here and help us throughout the way.” Rhea suggested, as you laughed, putting your hands on her belly, squealing in excitement.

Two for one? Yeah.

“Your really pregnant!” You squealed again, laughing in excitement, feeling her shrug, smirking as she grabbed you again.

“Why did you do that?!” You giggled, feeling her tower you, laying on the shared bed.

“I got some energy to burn. And a drive to burn out.” Rhea’s smirk some her lips, wrapping your arms around her neck.

“Are you…horny right now?” You asked, feeling you playfully rolling your eyes.

A high sex drive, she would always have, during this whole thing…this was gonna be one long ass 9 months.

“Shush.” Rhea kissed your lips before you two pleasured each other…for 4 hours, missing her raw appearance.

bye, why do i wanna write a part two to where you two would give birth lmfaooo, this was on my brain for awhile, so i had to.

reread, mistakes r fixed.

Natural Remedies for Height Growth: What Actually Works?

Height is largely determined by genetics, but several natural remedies can help you maximize your height potential, especially during your growing years. While there’s no magic formula to increase your height drastically, certain lifestyle habits and remedies can make a difference. Here’s what actually works when it comes to natural height growth.

1. Balanced Nutrition

A diet rich in essential nutrients is crucial for growth. Consuming foods high in protein, calcium, vitamin D, and other vitamins and minerals can help ensure proper bone development and growth.

Key Foods:

Protein: Eggs, lean meat, fish, and beans.

Calcium: Dairy products, leafy greens, and almonds.

Vitamin D: Sunlight, fatty fish, and fortified foods.

2. Proper Sleep

Your body releases growth hormones during deep sleep, making rest an important factor in height growth. Aim for 8-10 hours of sleep, especially during adolescence.

Tips for Better Sleep:

Maintain a consistent sleep schedule.

Create a calming bedtime routine.

Ensure your sleeping environment is comfortable and dark.

3. Exercise and Stretching

Regular exercise, particularly stretching exercises, can promote height growth by improving posture and enhancing bone and muscle health.

Effective Exercises:

Hanging exercises: Helps decompress and elongate the spine.

Yoga: Poses like the cobra stretch and downward dog can improve flexibility.

Jumping and sprinting: High-intensity exercises that stimulate growth.

4. Good Posture

Slouching or poor posture can compress your spine and make you appear shorter. Practicing good posture ensures that you’re maximizing your height.

How to Improve Posture:

Sit and stand with your back straight and shoulders relaxed.

Engage in exercises that strengthen your core and back muscles.

Avoid prolonged hunching, especially when using devices.

5. Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water is essential for overall health, as it aids in digestion, nutrient absorption, and cellular growth. Staying hydrated keeps your body functioning optimally, which is important for growth.

6. Sunlight Exposure

Vitamin D, which is synthesized when your skin is exposed to sunlight, is crucial for bone health. Make sure to get at least 10-30 minutes of sunlight daily to promote proper bone development.

Conclusion

While genetics play the primary role in determining your height, incorporating these natural remedies can help you reach your maximum potential. Focusing on a healthy diet, regular exercise, proper sleep, and good posture can make a significant difference, especially during your growth years. Remember, growing taller isn’t just about height—it’s about leading a healthy lifestyle that supports overall well-being.
