my favorite thing about baek hyun-woo's portrayal is that he isn't even a loser. he's an incredibly cool and competent lawyer who also happens to act like a loser

BRO THEY LITERALLY DID IT AGAIN

I was talking this morning about how the og Titans were so off balance that they had to keep removing Donna and Wally from the narrative just to make it work because those two were WAY too overpowered for the typical Titan mission.

And do you wanna know what they did in today's Nightwing? Huh? Do ya? They, you guessed it, removed Wally and Donna from the narrative. But that's not all folks! Nope! Starfire got removed as well!

Honestly, I'm surprised Raven managed to still be in this thing. Cause it'd go Wally, Raven, Kori, Donna in terms of firepower.

Man... They weren't even clever about it. Wally was gone the entire issue with no explanation. He checked the perimeter of a jail once. That was it.

Donna and Kori got relegated to babysitting duty while the other Titans (sans Wally for no explainable reason) did the actual plot and went on a Heist in Hell.

This is concerning because this man is writing the new Titans series. The og series suffered because Donna and Wally were on a different level and the writers didn't know how to compensate for that so they kept knocking them out at the start of every issue. And now the same thing is happening.

Taylor doesn't know how to power balance. The best Justice League runs deal with assorted power levels by having different roles for the heroes to play. Ollie isn't on the front lines fighting General Zod with Clark and Diana. Hal doesn't tag along on stealth missions with Dinah and Bruce. Different heroes have different power levels and different abilities. Narratively, you have to juggle that.

And it's hard! I get that. It isn't easy. But I'm going to be honest, if a writer can't power balance then I don't want them writing the Titans series.

Because having half the cast drop out of the plot for no reason other than 'they would solve the plot too fast' is not good writing.

And I'm sorry. I'm going to say it. It's because Taylor is power scaling everything back for Nightwing. It doesn't take the entire goddamn Titans team to take out Blockbuster or to take out a single shape shifter. For some reason Taylor has this fascination with Grayson being the best and smartest Titan who can be the only one who solves issues, so every bad guy is difficult but doable for Nightwing to defeat.

It's incredibly annoying and it makes Nightwing seem super unlikable which is... I'm flabbergasted at that because it's Nightwing. How the hell do you make him unlikable?? But this is it. I've found it. This is the limit . Mary Sue Nightwing has no place in my heart.

I've really really loved this season of d20 but I do agree with the criticism that the combats have felt a little bit too low stakes. all of the battles have been really Fun and creative and d20 is first and foremost a comedy show, and especially with this season in particular, the conflict and stress wasn't supposed to be coming from the combats but I do feel like at times brennan gave the pcs some crazy insane advantage without matching the difficulty, so the battles often felt like there were no stakes

I like to think that Dakota and Cavendish were going to return to the future, or more precisely return to the time travel industry

But not like they were, no like to the bureau, nono, just one word

I get why they weren't able to do it yet, because in THE current time they are, Professor Time ISN'T Professor Time yet.

In the end of the second season, Dr. D has just found the real inspiration (And founds, thanks Perry the Platypus) to BECOME Professor Time.

Wouldn't it make sense, that the first people that Doof would get (Aside from any accidental time-travel and himself + Perry) would be this two???

Maybe I'm too hopeful, or sleep deprived

But I would like to see that

I kinda stayed gone’d myself at the show jumping ring today not gonna lie.

[anonymusbosch]

welp. meow meow meow

[un-pearable]

as fun as angsting about people losing their powers is, i… don’t think they’d see it as that much of a big deal? like obviously kai does in s11 but before that, they spend as much time with their powers as they do without. they’re used to making do, heck they didn’t even have the powers the way we think of them now until the end of s2. in terms of how they’ve trained and fought over the years, the elemental powers are really just icing. in s5 while it is a challenge without them, they’re still perfectly competent with normal weaponry in their actual combat sequences - the one-up morro has with wind would still be a problem even if they were able to use their powers. obviously as the show continues and they bill it as an “elemental powers” show they lean more and more on them but even the idea that they used to be better at adapting between fighting with and without is a more interesting angle to take than just ignoring the context: the fact that they didn’t even get them properly (as a part of them, not a bonus from the golden weapons) until episode 23, and they spend at least 13 hours of the shows runtime having explicitly lost them.

It's always fun being reminded why I love being alone so much.

On May 19 Sgt. Michael Kunovich deemed him suspicious while outside the Super 8 motel parking lot. Aguilar Mendez was sitting down eating but started to walk away when the officer approached in his patrol vehicle. Kunovich began to question him, but Aguilar Mendez couldn't understand him or communicate well and repeated that he was sorry. That's when Kunovich decided to search him, and Aguilar Mendez resisted. Two other deputies arrived to assist in taking the 5-foot-4, 115-pound teen to the ground as Kunovich repeatedly stunned him with his taser, all seen on body-worn camera video. Aguilar Mendez can be heard screaming for his family and is seen trying to gain control of the taser as the officers note in the video. Toward the end of the 6-minute scuffle, the deputies saw that their handcuffed suspect had a small folding knife and disarmed him. Kunovich collapsed a short time later in medical distress and died at the hospital, the Sheriff's Office said. Aguilar Mendez, who came here from Guatemala, was staying with other farmworkers at the hotel. He is being detained without bail, which is the subject of another hearing as yet to be decided.

I'm going to need you all to start spreading awareness about this case and sign the petition. I'm a 5'4 woman and I weigh more than him. He's only 18, indigenous and doesn't understand English nor Spanish really. I can't imagine how confused and scared he was. Tased 6 times and apologizing repeatedly and calling out for his family... he is not responsible for the police officer's death. The fact he's been held for 8 months without bail is disgusting.

Virgilio looks so small, sad and defeated in all of the images I've seen of him.

it's so exciting and satisfying being involved with my local library :-) i'm running most of the children's summer story time events this summer, and it's crazy being trusted to plan + host so many events. it's my third year doing this, even with all my experience so far it still feels like i'm just some kid making it up as i go. which i kind of am, except everyone (the parents AND the kids) always seems to love what i'm doing :-)

Being tired makes me so cold it sucks soooo bad. It's August. I'm freezing. And there's no heaters because my job doesn't give a shit and won't provide them in summer. (Plus some people DONT PUT THE HEATERS BACK) We have blankets I'm not allowed to use.

I'm hunkering in the corner underneath something and with a wall behind and around me and I think it's keeping heat in
