"these jewish bloggers keep saying it's possible to talk about gaza without being antisemitic but keep saying everything i say is antisemitic so clearly they just don't want us talking about gaza"
it's actually really easy to talk about gaza without being antisemitic if you're not antisemitic, and really hard if you are antisemitic. hope this helps

Thinkin of the meat marionette au and how different the batfam's body language would be.
Like they've gotten used to having longer limbs, tails, long ears, wings... which doesn't translate over to their original human bodies. So their movement is definitely off, but that's not what I want to talk about right now.
What I am rotating is their body language in said meat marionette bodies. When they're more directly connected to the Hive and the Tunnels beneath the city, when they're openly large predatory creatures stalking the night.
Which means that their habits and movements would most definitely also be more animalistic. Like they might scrape their claws at the edge of the city to show that it's their territory, or maybe start play fighting like a pair of cats or birds. (If you've ever seen a pair of birds fight it's great lol)
Blinking slowly like cats to show trust or perching up high to preen while keeping an eye on the surrounding area. Chasing after goons for just a hint too long because it's a moving target to play with, things that humans just would not do.
Some other ideas for common actions:
Snapping Jaws=
Annoyance or exasperation
Lashing Tail (Scraping on the ground)=
Aggression, going to attack or pounce
Lashing Tail (High)=
Playful aggression
Kneading the Ground (Claws Out)=
Nervousness or caution
Kneading the Ground (Claws Sheathed)=
Relaxed, feels safe
Scraping Claws=
Feeling territorial or frustrated
Wing Fluttering=
Amusement or interest
Head Bobbing=
Interest, acknowledgement, enjoyment
Also @phoenixcatch7 I shall attempt to summon thee for your thoughts, dear mutual
