#as a boring adult...

As someone who’s living with a middle school social studies teacher, all the posts along the lines of “why did we never learn about this historical event in school” just make me go “because your teacher was supposed to cover all of US history in one year, and they didn’t get to the Revolutionary War until Halloween because they were urged to slow down the progression of the lessons because a more senior teacher was running behind, and they didn’t get to the Civil War until Valentine’s Day because the school kept scheduling every special event during social studies because there’s no end-of-grade testing for that subject, and they didn’t get to WWI until May because they were sick for a few days and the substitute couldn’t do much more than babysit, and now they’re having to do the entire Cold War in two days, so that’s why you didn’t hear about the lesbian inventor of the circus peanut. They would have loved to tell you about the lesbian inventor of the circus peanut!”
#this is us-specific obviously#the thing about history is that no class can cover everything#and you can continue learning about it as an adult really easily#I had one shitty history teacher (bizarrely paranoid about communism and also very boring and he let jordyn l. bully me)#but the rest were good

christ sometimes I just wanna. steal a time machine & go back & sit down next to my 9-year-old self and just like. let them pull out their pokemon card binder & gush about their holographic gyarados or whatever. I'd just smile & ask questions about motherfukcing bulbasaur & tell my kid self that I thought they were a neat person, & someday they'd find other people who thought so too.
like i'm a grown adult who honestly finds most kids stuff boring, but. damn if i could go back & hang out with my baby self & listen to them ramble...just so they knew someone was listening. i would in a heartbeat. thinking about u kid
#wouldn't roll my eyes or check my phone or get bored or nothing#I'd just listen to that little dork & smile & encourage them & let them explain how their favorite gameboy games worked#i was the kind of kid my adult self would find annoying & uninteresting but like#most of the actual adults in my childhood felt that way too. including my dang parents.#and ya know sometimes they showed it. a lot of times without realizing it. and that messes a kid up#if you don't make an effort kids WILL recognize your disinterest and lack of attention.#kids deserve to have caregivers who show interest and engagement#even when it's over stuff that adults find boring. especially then maybe#your kid doesn't have to be fun or interesting or easy or well behaved to deserve positive attention#they deserve positive attention because they are YOUR KID#if love is unconditional then DISPLAYS of LOVE and AFFECTION must also be unconditional#not something that must be earned#telling your kid that you love them is not enough. that is step one out of like a thousand#if you just tell your kid you love them but you don't demonstrate affection and interest and patience and warmth and etcetera#your kid isn't gonna feel loved! I Love You will just become a trite phrase that they regard with mistrust!#bitch you gotta FOLLOW THROUGH

DP x DC Prompt #1
An old collection is finally shown again at the British Museum after being left in boxes for a few decades.
By coincidence one Tucker Foley, reincarnation of a Pharaoh, notices among the collection several items that used to belong to him. It doesn't take much (or anything) to convince Sam and Danny to go on a... Field trip yup field trip with him to London, a little vacation for his 24th birthday if you will. What do you mean his birthday isn't before several months? That's blasphemy.
They simply came during the day as to control the perimeter (and make a list of other artefacts that would suddenly be returned to their rightful place.)
They could not have planned that one Ra's Al Ghul also had several of his own personal items that he wished to retrieve among the very same collection. Or that he would decide to not only get them back himself but also at the same time.
#dp x dc#dpxdc#dc x dp#dcxdp#Ra's was bored and decided to do the heist himself#he did notice the 3 young adults checking the perimeter at the same time as him in the afternoon#ending up doing the heist *with* them wasn't planned#but he did have fun#everlasting trio#a certain statue will soon be returned to her sisters#among many other artifacts that the countries will fight tooth and nail to keep now that they have them back#Ra's is just as surprised as anybody else that he ends up befriending the 3#the 4 of them end up planning a few other heists throughout the year on several other museums#all museums that refuse to restitute the stolen artifacts#c: ra's al ghul#the everlasting trio are all some kind of powerful entity on their own#they're just causing chaos while in vacation they're not like active villains or anything

I miss how pre-flashpoint Jason used to flip around and actually showed off his robin training
#‘he’s a brick wall he can’t move fast or do cool acrobatics’#only because post-flashpoint Jason is boring man#he wasn’t rlly any more of a brick wall than most adult male charas back in that era for a lot of the time#but anyways#jason todd

i actually drew these last year for my own self-reference and today i wanted to draw something in sai, found that sai was having a rough day, so instead i dug these up in procreate and coloured them. some kings and their fun faces
the winglets/ear wings/whatevers are not lift generating surfaces they're mostly for communication. they can hide their whole face under those things.
some of these expressions are inborn but some must be taught (i.e flinching, hiding the face, etc probably looks the same no matter what, but the more complex expressions conveying social dominance are copied from older harpies). human-raised harpies struggle to express themselves and are considered (ironically) very dangerous to be around because they won't give proper warning when they're about to be violent. and they are often violent; a major struggle of working with an imprinted harpy is their food aggression and resource guarding behaviour. most falconers in the classic tradition [taking and raising eggs] are missing at least one fingertip.
#ice storm over kosa#i rly like the poofy one i think i will keep him#there's two main falconry traditions classic and natural#natural is older it involves a human making a negotiated pact with an adult harpy who then fucks off when they get bored#classic is newer it's basically fancy kidnapping and imposed social deprivation#you get a really poorly-adjusted harpy at the end of it but at least they'll never ever choose to leave

an incredibly silly hatchetverse headcanon that i need to inflict on all of you is that Paul Normalguy Matthews had a goth/emo phase in high school. this has no basis in canon but i think it would be so fucking funny. when Richie dyes his hair blue Paul says oh i had blue hair when i was your age too :) and Richie says hey uncle Paul what the fuck did you just say
#the goth teen to boring adult pipeline in action#he went to shows at the slaughtered pig ofc.#originals#hatchetverse#hatchetfield#hatchetfield musicals#hatchetfield series#hatchetfield universe#hatchetverse headcanons#hatchetfield headcanons#paul matthews#tgwdlm#the guy who didn't like musicals
