Hey! I don't know if you're busy with something important in every adult's life but I was thinking that I've never seen Meloni thawne in your style, if it's not too much to ask can you draw her? I'd really like to see it! (I don't know if you've already drawn her, but I'd like to see her in your style anyway lol)
mrs meloni thawne...........
#asks#anonymous#quick n sketchy meloni but a meloni nonetheless#genuinely one of the most underutilized characters in comics#the fact that we never got a solo series abt her life eats at me every single day#my art#dc#meloni thawne#i would like to see her. shoot a gun.#and overthrow her father#and have a doomed t4t romance with don allen#is that so much to ask

This might be a strange question, but do you think it would be cathartic for Machete to have a tamagotchi in the modern AU? One of those things where it heals his inner child but he isn't sure why?
.
#I do like the idea of him getting to be responsible for the wellbeing of a living thing in the modern au#like a pet or that one single cactus he cherishes#and being Very Worried about the whole thing#but ultimately doing really good job#answered#anonymous#modern au#in the original setting he exists in a bubble that is rather sterile and devoid of things that grow#apart from his lemon tree which refuses to bear fruit#I think it would be a bittersweet healing moment for him to realize that he's capable of cultivating life and goodness

Please, cuddling, and TimKon?
. . . I am sorry but also I am NOT sorry for what I have done with this reply, but hey, why don't we all enjoy this one being the only prompt fill from this meme that got a read-more cut??
āPlease,ā Kon tries, trying not to lookāhe doesnāt know, weird and needy and like an embarrassment, or whatever. It feels like such a stupid thing to ask for. He knows Timās not really a hugger or a touchy-feely guy or whatever and that he likes having his own space and basically always hops out of bed right after sex to go write down all the shit his post-nut clarity made him think of, and the idea of, like, just staying still and actually cuddling or whatever is probably basically literal torture to him, assuming itās ever even occurred to him at all, just . . .Ā
Just heād kind of like to sometimes, maybe? Likeānot regularly or whatever, heās not trying to drive Tim nuts or cut into either his worktime or downtime here, just . . .
Just heād like to do it sometimes, thatās all.Ā
Timās not the tactile type. Tim isnāt even the eye contact type, unless heās lying to somebody or at work or just faking it for Robin-mode or whatever. Kon gets that. Heās been, likeācareful about that. Not trying to take up too much space or ask for too much attention or mind when Tim doesnāt even look up at him when heāĀ
Heās been careful about it.Ā
But he is . . . well. The tactile type. Like . . . kind of, anyway.Ā
Likeāitās kinda unavoidable, honestly.Ā
āOh,ā Tim says, blinking at him in just enough bemusement to make him feel even more self-conscious about bringing this shit up to begin with, and Kon tries to keep his expression casual and noncommittal andāand just normal about this. Because he is totally normal about this. He is so normal about this. He is.
Heās also normal about the fact that when he asked Tim if he could talk to him about something, Tim didnāt even put down his tablet. Didnāt even put it to sleep, or actually even look up from it until . . .Ā
Konās normal about that. About all of this.Ā
(and he definitely never feels kind of weird or a little bit abandoned because Tim canāt EVER just bring his stupid laptop back to bed or at least work on whatever heās thinking about IN the bedroom at the untouched desk he's got set up in there or even just, like . . . stick around and hang out on the couch with him, or anything like that. he definitely totally ENTIRELY doesnāt ever just feel like a casual fuckbuddy or an easy hookup or a gala-night accessory or just the most immediately convenient option and not actuallyānot actually any kind of aānot actually something thatāĀ
he doesnāt.Ā
definitely.)
āUh,ā Kon says, and backpedals awkwardly, because clearly this conversation is not going the way heād wanted it to and Tim just looks so surprised by it all, likeālike it never even occurred to him or something, that maybe . . . that maybe Kon would want anything like that, or like he literally just hasnāt noticed how hard Konās been trying to be normal about it, or . . .Ā
It doesnāt feel very good, the idea heās been trying so hard to respect Timās space and preferences and comfort levels and Tim hasnāt even noticed that he was doing anything at all.Ā
Especially because Tim usually notices just about everything.Ā
Maybe Timās just never thinking about it. Maybe he gets out of bed so quick because heās spent the whole time in it thinking about other shit and just putting up withājustāĀ
āKon,ā Tim says, his voice going a little tight, and Kon just tries not to wince. He didnāt mention any of the complicated stuff heās been trying not to feel, he just asked if Tim couldāif Tim wouldāĀ
He didnāt even mention any of the complicated stuff, so itās, likeānot a great sign that Timās looking at him like that right now, like heās said something really serious or upsetting or . . .Ā
He really shouldnāt have said anything, yeah.Ā
āSorry,ā he tries stiffly, glancing away and wrapping his hand around his own wrist and digging his fingers into the inside of it. Itāsātactile. Just . . . something tactile. āI know you donātāsorry. Uh. Just forget it.āĀ
āFuck,ā Tim mutters for some reason, and Kon feels like such an idiot for saying anything at all, and a worse one for apparently doing it in a way thatās got Tim making that face at him. That face is Robinās āmy utility belt is empty, comms are fried, and the mission just went to shitā face.Ā
He really fucked this up. It was fine. Everything was fine, and now heās wrecked it and Timās about to say itās not even that serious, itās not like itās evenānot like theyāre evenāand that Konās clearly gotten the wrong idea and they should justājustāĀ
āHow long have you felt this way?ā Tim asks very, very carefully, like the questionās something fragile, and Kon thinks from literally the first fucking time you left me alone in bed all night so you could go recalibrate some stupid useless specialty sensor that wasnāt even part of your primary gear, like, a WEEK into us sleeping together and says, āI dunno. Itās notāI told you. Forget it. Itās not a big deal.āĀ
Heās being weird about this. Heās being an asshole about this, actually, because being prepared for literally every single possible contingency ever is the Batsā whole thing and he got into this knowing Tim wasnāt the touchy-feely type or all that expressive and emotive aboutāabout his feelings, or whatever, andāand itās not like he evenānot like heāĀ
(he just wants a fucking HUG he didn't have to FUCK him for every now and then, or for Tim to at least exist in the same space as him for longer than the time it takes for the next email from Oracle to come in or next alert from Batman to go off or next self-assigned project to finish processing orā
but thatās not something Tim does, and Kon knew that going in, soāso itās his own stupid fault if he feels SMALL sometimes, when . . . when thereās always something else, always another problem to solve or place to be or thing to think about, always . . . always something more important than just . . . staying, just for a little bit, and just BEING withāwith him. just him. not the team, or either of their families, or . . .)
He knew all this going in, Kon reminds himself. He knew it. If he were this bad at being with literally anyone else, heād justāheād justāĀ
But something about it being Tim means he just . . . canāt.Ā
Timās jaw tightens, and he finally sets down his stupid tablet.Ā
Only now, though, Kon thinks bitterly, and digs his fingers a little deeper into the inside of his wrist.Ā
āKon,ā Tim says again, says too carefully again. Like somethingās fragile, again. āIāāĀ
āI said forget it, for fuckās sake!ā Kon snaps too hotly, and maybe hates himself for both doing it and for the stricken look that doing it puts on Timās face, and also maybe cheats a bit by super-speeding straight out the balcony door into the night air and not taking his cell or his communicator with him. Orādefinitely does, in fact. Definitely thatās cheating. He knows it is.Ā
He just really canāt stand to hear Tim tell him how heās fucked up this time right now, though. He justāhe tried so fucking hard not to fuck up this time.Ā
He really, really tried.Ā
He shouldāve known it wouldnāt work, but . . . but he really did try.

Do you have any opinions on Scholomance?
I do! I like it a lot. I really enjoyed all three books, blitzed through them easily and was much more excited to see how the plots unfolded than I'm used to these days, as a jaded adult, and I also really appreciated them as works of craft.
Especially the first one, I spent the whole time being all 'wow!' at how simple it was. So easy to read, but no waste. You really need to know what you're doing, to get that kind of pared-down elegance of form to work and still fit so much content in.
Like these are dense, there's a fantastic stylistic minimalism that allows El's character all the space it needs to breathe by making absolutely every other thing and person in the whole novel also do character work for her, which is exactly where the first person voice shines.
Also great use of character perspective to make the pacing feel really natural, so the fact that the first book takes three weeks, the second book takes one year, and the third book is like. Five or so incredibly stressful days spread out over the course of a few weeks? Doesn't feel imbalanced.
I actually got distracted from the story a few times by noticing the strength of Novik's technique. š This is a me problem, in itself it's the opposite of distracting. Very low-profile.
I think the Scholomance is a great example of how far you can go in specfic when you aren't cringing from the label 'derivative,' because the Scholomance books feel very fresh ad clean specifically because nothing in them is concerned with standing out as 'original,' whatever that's supposed to mean, only with being well-executed and suitable to its task.
Hm, maybe that's where Liesel was born, the intersection of the efficient narrative style and the vast proportion of the story that concerns the maximization of utility and the instrumentalization of persons by themselves and others, and the forces that incentivize these behaviors. Or maybe she's just the narrative counterweight to Orion 'Head Empty' Lake lmao. How's that for a principle of balance, Galadriel?
I really did enjoy how beautifully it was laid out, over and over, in dozens of shades of humanity, how no matter where you go in an exploitative system almost everyone is being driven by the same survival instincts.
Because I don't think I've ever seen made so cleanly clear why you just can't expect any person or small group of people, no matter their level of goodwill or status, to unmake one of these systems from the inside; how it's not a matter of people being bad but of every single person being very...small.
And then not retreating into the idea of a person who is Big coming and breaking the cruel system from the outside as some kind of panacea, because 1) that is terrible, even if it's necessary and done in the best way possible and 2) that's not a sustainable answer to anything. Getting a balance between the protagonist being able to effect change and not subscribing to the great man theory of history can be really tricky!
Also did I mention, I love El, and I love most of the cast, even the dreadful ones. How am I going around with this many feelings about Li Shanfeng who doesn't appear until the actual climax?
The romance murdered me a bit, but it took up no more space than it absolutely needed to do its job, and I respect that. Also I appreciated Orion as a love interest; Novik has a slight record at this point of a version of that style of male love interest who's like a caricature of Mr. Darcy but old, which was shaping up to be my least favorite thing about her body of work.
...Orion is kind of like if you took the human king from Spinning Silver and gave him an alignment flip come to think of it, so he's not coming out of nowhere. Lmao.
Which reminds me (re: romance character typing) I've heard Novik didn't want it to be known she was astolat, which this series has renewed my sympathies if so. Because if I were a published novelist I wouldn't want people going 'you know, that resolution was really emotionally satisfying! reminds me of that fic she wrote where optimus prime and megatron get stuck in a hole underground and hatefuck about it.'
I don't even like Transformers. That fic almost made me cry. Actually I suspect it reads better if you don't like Transformers because I'm sure it does not give a shit about canon.
Anyway, whoever pointed out that one of the things El has going on is she's Enoby (and we're going to sit down and explore what the true reason to put your middle finger up at preps is, and what are some constructive ways to channel that socioeconomic wrath, and what it means that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism) was right and I'm not entirely over that either.
Fucking love El's mom as a character. Spectacular level of parent relevance and usefulness. A+.
Aadhya and Liu are also characters who fucking delivered.
Re: minimalism though, I laughed at the start of The Golden Enclaves when I realized that none of the enclaver characters who'd gotten development in the the first two books were from London, the enclave El was theoretically shooting for when we met her.

There have been dogs floppier than him but I'd say he's at least a good 7/10 on floppiness scale.

I clicked on that wikipedia link you posted for H. fleischmanni and was surprised to see that the section talking about the frogās natural predators was titled āenemiesā instead of āpredators.ā The word āenemies,ā at least to me, seems strange in this context because it seems to anthropomorphize the frogs, which as far as Iām aware is something zoologists try to avoid doing with animals. Is there a scientific reason for āenemiesā to be used here, as opposed to āpredatorsā?
Regrettably, a huge number of problems of this kind have been built into Wikipedia by the Wikipedia Education Foundation-supported courses. Students carry out an 'assignment' that involves a dramatic expansion to a given wikipedia page based on any literature they can find. That revised page is then subjected to 'peer review' by their classmates. But because they are unfamiliar with (1) the literature, (2) the contents of other wikipedia pages, and (3) how wikipedia actually works, the resulting pages are often full of misinformation, redundancies, and weird formulations.
You have accurately identified one such idiosyncrasy. 'Enemies' was a very common formulation for 'predators' in the 1800s and early 1900s, but we have largely left it behind, for precisely the reason you say, and hence it sounds jarring to our ears. In this case it is a minor problem (you should have seen how the Paroedura masobe page looked before I cleaned it up), but irksome nonetheless.
#not sure how much sense it makes for non-experts to be responsible for scientific things on the most comprehensive online encyclopedia#the taxonomy system on wikipedia is TOTALLY broken#because no single person has a good overview#and also because WIKIPEDIA DOES NOT WANT YOU TO CITE PRIMARY SOURCES#WHICH IS TOTALLY FUCKED UP#in which Mark goes on a small rant about wikipedia being edited by people who aren't experts in what they're editing#which is the whole *thing* that Wikipedia *is*#old man yells at cloud vibes#answers by Mark#anon#anonymous
