You’ve heard of the Roaring 20s........
now get ready for the Screaming 20s - coming to a decade near you in 2020
is it too early or can we start screaming now
in retrospect perhaps we should have started sooner
this post is the equivalent of a newspaper from the day of the outbreak being blown past by the wind after you wake up in a post apocalyptic world
this is, without a doubt, the funniest headline and photo combo i’ve ever seen
By ‘egg producers’, I choose to imagine they mean just a flock of disappointed British birds staring glumly at a phone.
life when i find a new song to play on repeat over and over
So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.
Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.
wow. really hope this isn't actually a norm taking hold with new users! this isn't facebook, you don't need to know people before following them
this is the '10 year mutuals you've never spoken to once' site
Follow! REBLOG! It's how the site works!!
okay stay with me for this one.
When Ilya moves to the Centaurs he doesn’t get to keep his number. Some old fuck on the team already has it and refuses to trade, no matter how much Ilya bribes him.
so, in true Ilya Rozanov fashion, he picks the number 24. People think he did it to be an asshole, which is true, but he also did it to have Shane with him all the time. Shane was both infuriated and touched by it.
but then of course, years later, SHANE transfers to Ottawa. And lo and behold, the old fuck who had number 81 retired, so when Shane has to choose a number?
81 is available.
so the first day of training, Shane walks into practice in a jersey that says Hollander, 81, with an absolutely shit-eating grin on his face.
and Ilya goes insane.
irina and ilyusha 🤍
you have this superpower! BUT you have this side-effect
is it worth it?
yes!!
the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT
meh it's okay
the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it
Results/option I didn't think of
BROTHER IM BACK AT SQUARE ONE
I hate it when you’re reading smut and you can’t figure out what position they’re in.
sometimes it just ends up being something like
ITS BACK
Y’ALL NEED JESUS
Please stop reblogging this post
nah whenever this appears on my dash i laugh for years
HAAAA
it will forever be a little insane to me how ilya rozanov, born and raised in russian, total jock/party bro, father-is-police-brother-is-police guy, somehow has never had an ounce of internalized homophobia in his body. canonically just saw being bi as an extra opportunity for hot sex. started experimenting with guys at 16 and simply never questioned it. and like yeah he’s a top but it’s also so clear that he does not see being a bottom as a demeaning or less masculine thing in the slightest. this man goes on to wear leopard shirts and booty shorts and flicks his hands gayfully and makes gay jokes at his jock colleagues and being tender with other men is like second nature to him and He’s actually the one to makes the ‘oh are you scared of being gay?’ ‘cuz I thought you might be gay when you were sucking my dick’ jokes.
this man this mannnn i want to pick his brain apart with a tweezer
To me, this finale didn't feel rushed. I like that some version of them got one happy life. We got a queer couple who actually got a happy ending. That's more than we can say about most shows and movies.
Would I have liked a kiss? Absolutely.
Is a kiss the only way to declare love? No.
Is their end a fitting last page for their story? In my opinion, yes.
They've fought for so long and battled each other and everyone else; maybe they're just tired of being apart. They can't exist without each other.
So the solution is to end them both, making room for a human version of them, who will be able to choose freely, simply existing.
You can agree with me, or you can't - I will respect you either way.
Just please stay kind towards the cast and crew, they've done a good job in the face of the situation and they've given us a lot.
Current mood:
...GO3 Philm club?? Pretty please
people who've seen good omens finale. we can't talk here. email me on jeremy renner app
do you think we're together in another universe?
I don't care, I just want you in this one.
Shane wearing a jock strap for Ilya for the first time. He tells Ilya to wait because he has a surprise for him. He comes back into the room with the jock strap on. Shane is a little worried that Ilya isn’t into this kind of thing, he’s never made any mention of it before and he’s silent when Shane comes back into the room. Shane asks Ilya if this is okay and Ilya can’t speak. He’s so turned on that he’s dizzy. He doesn’t realize his nose is bleeding until Shane frantically runs out of the room and comes back with a towel. Shane climbs onto Ilya’s lap and presses the towel to Ilya’s nose. Shane puts his other hand on Ilya’s chest and can feel how fast his heart is beating. Ilya starts speaking Russian and while Shane has been learning, he’s no where near fluent. Ilya’s words are also slurred so that doesn’t help. He finally remembers how to speak English and begs Shane to ride him but Shane is like “No, your nose is bleeding and your heart is about to beat out of your chest. I’m pretty sure I’ll give you a heart attack” and Ilya tells Shane that sitting on it will cure him.
Cassandra Cain’s Speaking Patterns
I was trying to write some fic and started saving a bunch of comic panels to analyze Cass’s speech patterns, so here’s my notes for myself and others! Most of the panels are taken from more recent stuff, like Birds of Prey (2023), Batgirls (2022) and Batgirl (2024).
I have nine points:
Only speaking when necessary
Typically monotone
Sentence Structure
On the job vs off the job
Slang
Facial Expressions and Body Language
Miscellaneous
My personal headcanons (still with some evidence)
I've also been forced to split this post up, since I can't add more than ten images per post :(
1: Only speaking when necessary
Unsurprisingly, Cass doesn’t talk much. This is especially true in group situations, since she doesn’t need to drive any conversation.
[Birds of Prey, Issue #2: Zannah and Black Canary are discussing plans, going back and forth about how to get onto Themyscira. Cass adds “or they’ll be on high alert.”]
The panel above is from a scene showing the Birds strategizing, and this is the only time Cass talks. She’s silent the rest of the time.
For one-on-one situations, she still doesn’t expand much, preferring single-word sentences.
[Batgirl (2024), Issue #2: Lady Shiva dropping some exposition, and Cass asking a question with one word.]
In tense situations, she can forget to speak ‘properly’, dropping words like ‘I’ll’ in the panel below:
[Batgirl (2024), Issue #2: Cass fights Kalden the Unseen after he hurts her friend.]
Also, she’ll talk more casually with people she’s comfortable with, like Steph!
[Batgirls, Issue #4: Cass and Steph banter a bit before being interrupted by Barbara.]
2: Typically monotone
Cass sounds very monotone, a lot of the time. She barely ends her sentences with exclamation marks or asks rhetorical questions. It’s fun to see her contrast her with characters who are more excitable/long-winded!
[Birds of Prey, Issue #7: Cass and Bertha go back and forth after being beaten in a fight.]
Cass also keeps up her usual tone in most fights. Here she is, battling a giant squid creature, focused as ever.
[Spirit World, Issue #3: Cass chides her teammates for bickering at each other rather than focusing on the fight.]
When in more alarming situations, she’ll raise her voice like everyone else. It’s uncommon, but only because it’s uncommon for her to be overwhelmed.
[Spirit World, Issue #4: A mysterious force takes control of Cass and Constantine, Cass looks scared, shouting “Can’t control… my body!”]
Once again, she’s more expressive with Steph. She’s more comfortable with her, and matches Steph’s energy when they’re both excited.
[Batgirls (2022), Issue #2: Steph and Cass exclaim “Bondo?!” at the same time, christening the car.]
3: Sentence Structure
Short Sentences with No Commas
As said before, Cass doesn’t talk more than she has to. Where most would use a comma, she ends each phrase with a period. She also drops a lot of ‘unnecessary’ speech.
Birds of Prey #1
[Birds of Prey, issue #1: Batgirl talks to Black Canary, where she greets her by just saying ‘Black Canary.’ without a hello.]
If she can be understood with just a word, she’ll only say that word.
[Batgirls, issue #1: Cass replies with ‘Soap. Towel. Favourite robe.’ when asked if she needs anything.]
[Batgirls, issue #1: Cass says ‘Movement. Grumpy neighbor.’ when Steph asks what’s going on.]
Ellipses
Cass uses a lot of ellipses, especially in the early days. She trails off often, and speaks slowly.
[Batgirl (2000), Issue #7: Batgirl tries to convince Batman she’s ready, stuttering.]
4: On the job vs off the job.
Cass is much more at ease and confident with her sentences as Batgirl. She trails off a lot more as a civilian.
[Batgirl (2008), Issue #2: Cass talking to a guy in her class, having an awkward conversation (likely also awkward since it’s implied to be romantic, but still).]
In the exact same issue, Cass as Batgirl speaks a lot more confidently.
[Batgirl (2008), Issue #2: Cass and Marque discuss their plans and trade information.]
5: Slang
Cass canonically picked up dialogue from watching TV, and uses some slang. Although she picked up English almost like a second language, she doesn’t speak like she was taught in a formal, classroom setting.
[Spirit world, issue #4: Cass says ‘gotcha’.] [Birds of Prey, Issue #9, Cass says ‘sorta’ in her sentence.]
[Batgirls, issue #1: Cass says ‘...I dunno’.]
6: Facial expressions & Body Language
If Cass can get her point across just using her face or other non-verbal gestures, that’s her go to. No point using words when your face does the trick!
The page below is one of my favourites, since it really shows Cass communicating a lot without words.
[Birds of prey, issue #7: Cass makes her opinion on potential outfits known with her facial expressions.]
She’d also rather nod or shake her head, as opposed to saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
[Batgirls #3: Cass nods her head.][Spirit World #4: Cass shakes her head.]
7: Miscellaneous
Cass can’t storytell well at all:
[Birds of Prey, Issue #1: The team tells Cass she’s really bad at telling stories.]
Cass uses a lot of emojis:
[Nightwing issue #79: Babs remarking that Cass can’t help herself when it comes to emojis.]
8: Veering into Headcanon Territory:
Cass has a very basic grasp on describing what she’s feeling. In my mind, this translates to a very basic grasp of her feelings as a whole.
In the panel below, Cass is very confused about why she’s putting in effort towards her father, and describes him as terrible. She pauses a lot, indicating she’s having a hard time putting together how she feels:
[Batgirl (2000) #65: Cass tells David Cain he ‘sucks’, very simple vocabulary for everything that’s gone down between them.]
I also think Cass has echolalia, which is the ‘meaningless repetition of words spoken by another person’. This only happens a few times but I’ll peddle it.
[Batgirls #2: Cass repeats Stephs words ‘still sucking’, without much reason.]
Conclusion:
Obviously, different writers write her differently, and I’ve tried to grab from a lot of different series to get the main points down. It’s also important to think about what point of Cass’s life you’re writing. In the current stories, Cass can express basically anything she needs to (except anything too complicated like feelings, lol), but in the early 2000s she was struggling with simple sentences. And of course, she didn’t speak at all for the majority of her life! Anyways, I hope you find this guide useful.
I love being a nerd. This is such a skill, I can't even-
Sleepy boys 💤
Das Ausmaß, der Momente, wo ich in meinem Alltag überall an Spatort erinnert werde, ist mittlerweile enorm 😭
Heute Morgen im Gottesdienst hatte ich Tränen in den Augen und musste mich so zusammenreißen, nicht zu lachen, weil es in einem Lied die Zeile gab "es gibt Gerechtigkeit für alle" und ich sofort an "Meine Mutter braucht kein Wasser, was meine Mutter braucht, ist Gerechtigkeit" aus BiD denken musste. 😭💀
Das bauen meine Freundin und ich seit wir den gesehen haben eh schon immer ein, wenn es irgendwie und irgendwo um Wasser oder Gerechtigkeit geht und es wird nicht unlustig. Aber das heute war nochmal ein anderes Level
Was macht Spatort mit mir?! Ich kann das alles nicht mehr. Es soll aber auch niemals aufhören
