Would you be able to make a word emoji for verbal paralysis?

I recently learned non-verbal in terms of autistic or others who are non-verbal, is a life description, people who can't and likely never will be able to talk. Where verbal paralysis is an alternative, best used for moments when I am not able to use words and im frozen and unable to speak or having a meltdown.

Yep! Sure thing. Nice explanation of why using alternatives to nonverbal/semiverbal is important

Edit: I accidentally tagged this post as losing speech since I was thinking of the second part of anon’s ask, but the request was answered with physical paralysis that affects the ability to talk in mind, just to clarify 🙂

a lot of stuff happened but i'm choosing to remember 2025 as the year i found out people with green eyes exist irl

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

couple things:

yes i spent my entire life until a few months ago assuming green eyes were an urban legend

"what about all the fictional characters with green eyes" thought it was a trope like with anime protagonists having naturally purple hair

i found out by watching Desperate Housewives (one of the actors has green eyes and it threw me off)

(i had never watched Desperate Housewives until that point bc i assumed it was reality tv, of the same genre as Real Housewives Of Metropolitan Areas franchise)

i still haven't seen green eyes irl, i am simply aware now that they actually exist

"have you really never met a person with green eyes." i didn't say that. it's possible I've met dozens. my autistic ass has spent decades elevating eye contact avoidance to a sublime art form.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

did more research and now I'm sort of leaning back to my original stance that green eyes don't actually exist? people say "green" but all i'm seeing is eyes that are blue-and-brown. can i get some example photos so i know what we're talking about???

[kind-of-human1]

I assume this is what people think of when they imagine green eyes. Whether they look green or not is mostly a lighting thing from what I've seen. I have gray eyes that can look green in the right light.

Green eyes are also the rarest eye color period, so I don't actually blame you for not knowing they existed at all.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

these are just blue with brown/yellow mixed in? i have those type of eyes, i assume they're pretty common. definitely less rare than people with 100% blue eyes with no mix-ins

[teslapenguin1]

blue with yellow mixed in

and what do you get when you mix blue and yellow

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

ok listen

[bee-dazzle]

Gaud

I think you might have green eyes

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

they're not green they are blue and yellow that's two different colors neither of those colors is green this is what im talking about people say "green eyes" and then it turns out they're just talking about eyes with multiple colors (blue, brown, yellow) none of which is actually green!!!!!!!!!

[thegreatcatwar]

As of writing you have a little over 24 hours give or take to learn that grey eyes exist as well!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

that's light blue

[changelingchilde9]

That's grey with a hint of blue.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

my outer irises are the same damn shade, i would be aware if that was gray, but it is not it is WISHY WASHY BLUE

[librowyrm]

Clearly the only solution to this is to post a blurry closeup of your own eyes for us to argue about

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

*sighs*

FUCK ALL OF YOU

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

they are pale BLUE and YELLOW my phone camera is just shitty they are two separate colors part blue and part yellow two colors

That's such a terrible photo, but they look green to me.

My dad and both my siblings all have green eyes that look almost yellow, but mine are more of a dark green.

You know what was probably hilarious? The 180 that Bruce Wayne does when he adopts Dick - at least through the eyes of socialites and gala attendees. They are probably so used to Bruce Wayne being a drunken mess or doing something reckless and scandalous or being a flirt but then he appears after a hiatus after adopting a kid, who as attended as his plus one rather than some model or actress and...

Waiter #1: Did... Did Bruce Wayne seriously just ask whether that orange juice was organic?

Waiter #2: I mean, yeah, it's a genuine question

Waiter #1: But Bruce Wayne? The guy asked you last year whether ‘gluten’ was a type of new drug?

Waiter #2: Yup.

Politician: Is Bruce Wayne seriously cutting up that child's steak for him?

Socialite: I honestly didn't think he knew how to use cutlery. Remember last year when he stuffed that mini quiche into his mouth in one go? Those Prada models had to give him the Heimlich?

Dick: Bruce why is everyone staring? Did I do something wrong?

Bruce: No buddy, I just ordered a Coke and they're a little surprised.

Dick: Oh, are you not allowed Coke? That's OK, my mom never let me have soda after dinner either. I won't tell Alfred, I promise.

Bruce: Thanks, chum.

Waiter: Um, sorry Mr Wayne but the bartender wanted me to make sure that-

Bruce: Just a regular Coke with ice, please.

Waiter:

Bruce: I will still take it with a little umbrella.

Waiter: Oh thank god.

Damian “I look like a carbon copy of my father at this age except for the eyes” Wayne versus Jason “I AM a copy of Bruce (genetics be damned) and will be for the next 30 years” Todd except you throw in the extra angst of Damian wanting to look the most like his father but failing (he still looks like Talia in many ways) and the double angst of Jason wanting to look like anything other than Bruce and then ending up with his face. I mean can you IMAGINE the self worth/identity issues between those two—

[ere-the-sun-rises]

And Tim in the middle, who has Bruce's mind but not his face, watching this intrigue play out.

Many men don't understand the difference between individual and systemic rejection. Men share their "preferences" like this, women shame them for those "preferences", then those men wonder, "Why are women allowed to have preferences and I'm not?"

But this isn't a preference. It's systemic rejection, for two reasons:

Notice that you said, "Men don't like this," and not, "I don't like this." You're enforcing your preference on others. If you don't find her attractive, that's individual rejection. If you act like your lack of attraction to her is universal, that's systemic rejection.

You're sharing your preference unprompted. If a woman with a septum piercing made an advance on you and you rejected her because you don't find her attractive, there's nothing wrong with that. But if she isn't doing anything that requires you to find her attractive, then there's no reason for you to mention your lack of attraction to her.

If a woman posted a meme saying, "Dear short men, taller women don't like you," she'd deserve just as much shame as the men who post this. But usually, that's not what happens.

I have a friend whose Facebook posts show that she clearly opposes Trump and supports social justice causes.

After getting out of an abusive relationship, she recently started dating someone who posts about running over protesters with his car.

I wondered what the hell she could see in him. I wondered how the hell they'd even have a conversation without wanting to kill each other.

So I looked at her posts a little more, and she said something like, "I'm all for deporting people who are here illegally, but they're going after citizens now, and they're doing worse than just deporting."

Then it made perfect sense. She's a typical liberal. She supports social justice causes on a surface level but doesn't question the status quo. And when the status quo is challenged, liberals side with fascists.

There's no good reason to care whether someone who's in this country is here legally. Their mere existence harms no one. Borders are merely imaginary lines drawn by the government. When you advocate for a small amount of oppression and tyranny, it's easy for a fascist to agree with you at first in order to win your trust then convince you to support more oppression and tyranny later.

Damian getting pissed off at Bruce shortly after coming to the manor and in a fit of childish anger yells ‘you can’t tell me what to do, YOU AREN’T MY FATHER!’

what he meant was in an emotional sense, because he didn’t know the man for the first decade of his life, but paranoid-Bruce-Wayne immediately starts to wonder if Talia’s fucking with him in some way. Damian, still pissed off and wanting to make Bruce suffer in any way he can, takes all the information he has at his disposal regarding his mother and father and decides in a brilliant moment of childish stupidity to do this:

Damian: no, you are not my father. but being as my biological father trained under you, mother decided you would still be the best option to guide me.

Bruce, eyeing Dick: i TRAINED your father?

Dick, incredulously: I DIDN’T-!?!

Damian: No. Jason Todd however, after he was revived via Lazarus Pit, did.

Bruce:

Dick:

Tim, quietly from the sidelines, popcorn in hand: holy shit…

~later~

Damian, climbing through the window of Jason’s safe house: Ahki! three things. one, i told father, Grayson, and Drake that you are alive-

Jason, sat with a mouthful of pasta: wh-

Damian: -two, i told them your identity as the Red Hood, and three, i told them you are my biological father.

Jason:

Jason:

Jason: why would you-

Damian: i was mad and impulsive.

Jason:

Jason, taking a deep breath: well that tracks if we’re pretending you’re my kid.

Damian: i knew i could count on you.

Jason: to freak those idiots out? always.

[papayafromtv]

my favourite thing about this post is everybody in the replies desperately trying to figure out a way to make the timelines match up so this could be plausible, and then the one genius ( @random-fandom-place ) pointing out that regardless of if it matches up or not, the family would be so fucking blindsided by the idea of it that they forget to think it through and instantly believe it anyway. it’s two weeks before tim finally clocks it and just quietly turns to bruce ‘b. do the math in your head realquick.’

damian is grounded for a month.

[papayafromtv]

i do find it funny the concept of all the batkids agreeing that tim is the most likely to eventually snap and go full supervillain on them all. like i bet damian and jason get together and decide that to lower the risk they should ragebait the fuck out of him at any and all opportunity to try and steer him away from overreactions. and i bet it stresses dick the fuck out.

-

Jason: *trips Tim for no reason* whatcha' gonna do? kill me again?

Tim: can you give it a fucking rest- *tries to get up*

Jaosn: no *shoves him back down*

Dick, furiously whispering after Tim leaves: can you stop pissing him off you know he's a flight risk-!

Jason: that's the point. if we piss him off enough he'll get used to it and he'll stop thinking everything should be retaliated with via supervillain revenge. we're lowering the stock value of his rage.

Dick:

Dick: are you fucking kidding me-

-

Damian: *walks into the batcave and silently shoots Tim with a paintball gun*

Tim: OW- YOU PIECE OF-

Damian: deep breaths Timothy. remember your mental exercises.

Tim: SHUT THE FUCK UP. I'LL-

Damian: *shoots him again*

Tim:

Tim:

Damian: *cocks gun in warning*

Tim: ...i'm going to go. do some gardening. and meditate.

Dick, after Tim leaves, face pale: why are you testing him like that he's going to kill us all.

Damian: Todd and i have a schedule to ensure premium anger management training.

Dick: THATS NOT GONNA WORK.

Damian: and yet he's gardening right now.

-

*during a JL meeting the batkids had to help out with*

Tim: -so that's my plan, are there any objections?

Jason: yeah, that plan's fucking stupid. like seriously, did you even try?

Damian: literally the most pathetic attempt at displaying intelligence i've ever seen. no wonder your original parents stopped calling.

Tim: *stares at the two blankly for fifteen full seconds*

Tim: ok well anyway-

Diana, leaning in to Dick: ...what was that about?

Dick, white-knuckling the table, blood pressure through the roof: they're. trying to train him.

Diana:

Diana: they're what now.

List of "admiring you from afar (knowing that's all I can do)" prompts

Character B saying happy birthday to Character A – and not because they have Character A on social media but it's because they remember Character A mentioning their birthday once in that Discord call they had from over a month ago.

Character B making Character A feel seen in ways they haven’t felt seen before.

“How'd you remember that? I don't even remember saying that,” Character A murmurs while Character B just shrugs and smiles a little. “I guess my memory’s better than yours,” they gently tease while their heart aches a little at just how much they remember about Character A without Character A even realising; knowing they can never say anything about it.

“I talked about this so long ago. How'd you–” “I guess my memory's still intact, which isn't a bad thing.” “But I mentioned it once and yet you...” “Well, sometimes having a good memory is a funny thing, isn’t it?”

“You’re always so quiet so I’m surprised you even remember me doing that,” Character A comments, to which Character B replies to with a shrug and a quietly murmured, “And just because I’m quiet doesn’t mean I don’t notice things.”

“Are you secretly keeping tabs on me?” Character A questions, expecting Character B to go along with the joke. Instead, Character B falls silent and turns away from them (just so the fast reddening of their cheeks isn’t visible).

“…You don’t remember things about someone you don’t care about – especially for things that aren’t even worth remembering.” “And how are you so sure of that?” “I’ve been in your shoes before, that’s why.”

“Even my own partner doesn’t remember that. And yet you…”

“You know I’m with [character C’s name],” Character A says, looking at their feet instead of Character B. “I know,” Character B says, voice soft, heart feeling heavier than before at the mention of that. “I know, and yet I… I can’t help but notice these little things about you; the way your smile looks, the way you laugh at the most ridiculous shit, the bounce to your steps when you’re happy; remember the stuff you say, even if you don’t remember them. I can’t help but…” they trail off, swallowing heavily.

“I’ve always admired you from afar and I don’t plan on changing that. I don’t plan on intervening. I don’t plan on confusing you. I’m going to keep my distance, because I don’t want to hurt you in any way shape or form. I don’t want to mess things up.”

List of “smartass x dunce (and they fall in love!)” prompts

Requested by: Anonymous Request: “HELLEOEODLIDOWIDLDIXO. may I request ‘smartass paired up with fucking idiot for a project and then they fall in love’ ? I love your prompts kiss kiss”

“Did you even understand what the instructions were?” “Well, not really, but I know you’re smart so I’m just kind of relying on you.”

“That’s not how you’re supposed to do that!” “Stop yelling at me and tell me how to do it, then!”

“If you don’t want to fail this, you might want to do it my way.” “You sound like a dictator.”

“You don’t have to be an asshole to get your point across.” “In what way is calling you out on your shit job done me being an asshole?” “That’s exactly what I mean!”

“Can you stop bossing me around? I can manage to do this without your help!” “Well, you’re not really showing you’re capable of that, are you?”

“You know what, just leave this whole thing up to me.” “No, but I actually want to help-” “Well, your contributions are actually kind of making things worse.”

“…That’s not what that means, look at the dictionary.” “I did! I swear that’s the definition on Urban Dictionary.” “Urban Dic- oh, for fuck’s sake-"

“This is how you do it.” “…Ohhhh-"

“I’m not that stupid, and you’re not that smart. You’re just acting like a know-it-all, maybe that’s why you don’t have friends.” “Well, that- I don’t need friends.”

“Oh… Your writing’s kind of cute.” “Oh? Uh, thanks.” “Yeah, well, I do compliment people when they deserve it.”

“See! I just needed a demonstration so I can do this myself!” “Yeah, I’ve repeated this like… Ten times now but sure, if it finally helps then that’s my goal reached, I guess.”

“Gosh, here, let me do that for you.”

“You know you can ask for help when needed, right?” “Yeah, well, you don’t exactly make yourself approachable.”

“I’m not sure what’s happening, but you seem more patient with me now.” “Oh… Am I? That's false, why would you even say that?”

“I do like being told I’m doing a good job.” “Oh, so I should do that more often?” “…Are you flirting with me?” “No, you idiot- what? Focus on the work, goddamn it, letting one compliment get to your head like that…”

“That… Was decent.” “You know complimenting me more than that isn’t going to kill you right?”

“Do you use your brain to think or…” “Why would I need to do that when I have you here?”

“Your dumbassery is infecting me.” “Well, you know what they say. Great minds think alike.”

“Maybe you’re not as bad as I thought.” “That’s a huge compliment coming from you.”

“We should probably see each more outside of this project.” “…Say that again, I didn’t hear you.”
