#defensive training

[historyofguns]

The article "The EDC Shot You’re NOT Prepared to Take" by Mike Boyle, published on The Armory Life, discusses the importance of preparing for personal defense scenarios involving firearms, focusing on conditions like close proximity, poor lighting, and quick action. Boyle emphasizes the need for realistic training and the ability to respond to threats at conversational distances. By analyzing gunfight statistics and experiences of law enforcement agencies like the FBI, DEA, and NYPD, Boyle highlights the importance of being prepared for anomalies in typically predictable scenarios. He advocates for balance in training, suggesting that while training for close-range encounters is vital, it is also crucial to practice shooting at longer ranges to handle unexpected situations. Boyle recommends utilizing different shooting positions, such as braced kneeling or prone, and emphasizes the need for mental rehearsal of shooting fundamentals. The article encourages readers to integrate long-range practice into their training routines and to consider sensible use of red dot optics for improved accuracy at a distance.

Sorry to add another request, but how about a Night Fury-Deadly Nadder hybrid who looks a little like Toothless and a little like Stormfly?

Not a thought behind those eyes

Bruh

[science-lings]

I feel like ppl focus on Bruce training the robins to kick ass from a young age when that’s definitely not all that was. He had to teach them field medicine and how to pick locks and sneak around silently and how to notice things, sure he taught them how to hit things with sticks of multiple sizes, but he also taught them how to grapple around and land from a fall.

They probably had intimidation lessons and interrogation lessons and sessions where they just meditated for hours straight. They’re taught how to calm down civilians and to train their voices to sound different in costume and so many things that would make them the most terrifying children to live with.

Bruce is actively training them to be good at bothering him because they like trying out their new espionage skills at Galas and trying to sneak around him while he’s asleep to prank him.

When we think of training to be Robin it’s easy to think of sparring and gymnastics equipment when it’s fun to remember the other parts of it. Some days Bruce would probably just give the kids a Hunt a Killer box and a time limit.

Distant family

Danny didn't quite know how to feel when his mother asked him if he wanted to go visit his aunt for a few days. He assumed it was his Aunt Alicia but apparently not, which didn't leave him with much of a choice as to who it might be. He wondered if it was safe to leave Amity for so long.

Later, his mother rectified herself by saying she was more of a distant aunt of sorts, which didn't help the halfa's confusion in the least but he ended up agreeing to it. Mainly because Jazz asked him to take a vacation.

That's how he found out his aunt was Wonder Woman, because sure, why not, Aunt Diana seemed to be just as curious about his existence but didn't tie him up in her shiny golden bow so Danny considered it a win.

Apparently his grandmother was an Amazon that left Themyscira after falling in love. His mom had met Diana when she was separated from her homeland as a sort of united group of exiled Amazons.

Danny wondered what that meant for Jazz's future, at least he had a story to tell Pandora, she would be proud of his origins...probably.

Wait… so if Stolas doesn’t have any powers..

AND if he starts working for IMP…. Especially if he might be a target for imp kind…

Does that mean we r going to get an epic Blitzo Teaches Stolas How To Fight Sequence???

I need to see Stolas go toe to toe with someone and their like

“Ah ha ha! I gotcha! whatcha gonna do without all your fancy magic bullshit??? You’ve got no powers to help you now!”

And Stolas just tuts and whips out a fucking GUN

(He’s like “well no, but I’m mighty good with guns now. Dance bitch!”) (Blitzo wipes away a proud tear)

we dont talk enough abt the fact azula is insanely proficient at hand to hand combat

[batcavescolony]

A Batfam AU where instead of going to get Dick to be Robin again Tim uses necromancy to bring Jason back from the dead. He just leaves Jason on the Wayne doorstep with a 'do better this time' sticky note. Batman can't find out who did it and Tim stays his little latchkey self with semi ok but distant parents (cus canonical they weren't really abusive just not there which isn't good but they could be worse). His parents bring him along on trips but again they love him but they just leave him to do as he pleases. so in Paris he ends up still getting trained by Lady Shiva. This keeps going and Tim just keeps reviving batfam members, if they fake their deaths and Tim tracks them down to check on them. They still have no idea who their shadow is, they can't find him, Tim likes it this way. Bruce goes MIA and Red Robin happens just minus Tim actually being Red Robin. The JLA doorstep gets a passed-out Batman with a 'I can't believe I have to keep doing this shit' sticky note on his head.

The Judoflip in HOO

Do you know what always bewildered me? The judoflip scene in HOO. Not only did Annabeth unexpectedly slam Percy (her boyfriend, not an enemy) on the hard ground with her knees pressed to his chest and her arm to his throat as she threated him to never leave her, but also Percy was slammed to the ground ON HIS BACK WHERE HIS MORTAL SPOT ONCE WAS!!! Annabeth didn't know that he didn't have the curse anymore. That could have easily killed him! One misplaced rock could have hit the small of his back, and he would be DEAD!

Not only was this an abusive and concerning reaction to slam Percy on the ground, but it really shows how much Percy's fatal flaw being loyalty can not see how this is WRONG because he laughed! You don't hit your partner if they're being stupid; you don't elbow them in the ribs if they can't guess what you're thinking; you don't kick them in the shins to shut up. AND YOU DON'T JUDOFLIP YOUR PARTNER FOR BEING KIDNAPPED!!!

This isn't a romantic or healthy relationship. It's toxic and unhealthy codependent where Percy will give and give, and Annabeth will take and take until Percy has nothing left.
