Wonder Woman: Batman, we could make good use of Nightwing with this. Would you call him?

Dick, who's filling in for Bruce as Batman: I'll call him

---

Hal: you've gained some muscles

Jason, dressed as Nightwing: I started working out

Hal: Damn. What's the routine cause I just saw you last week and you look completely different.

Jason: steroids

Dick, as batman: *chokes on coffee*

---

Superman: We might need someone who's good with guns, hm... Hey Nightwing you're in contact with redhood, right? Could you have him come?

Jason, as Nightwing: ... I don't see why not

---

Wonder woman: this security is an issue we need someone who can hack this system long enough for us to get pass

Superman: hey hood, any chance you can give red robin a call?

Tim, with 5 inches of padding, as redhood: on it

---

Hal: isn't robin usually with you all?

Flash: yeah we could use him with this one

Superman: Red Robin, would you call in Robin for us?

Damian, in red robin costume: he's dead

do you ever form close relationships with people in your dreams and then feel a little sad when you wake up

[dingdongyouarewrong]

i had a son in one of my dreams, he was 3 or 4, i loved him so much, i don’t remember his name but i remember loving him so much, and then i woke up and he was gone

[alittlewomble]

Hey um what the FUCk

[mumblesplash]

tldr: boy have i ever

[mumblesplash]

ok you know what it’s been long enough. and i’ve had enough vague accusations of ‘stealing’ the plot of my own dream from various sci fi series as if dying is not the only narratively compelling thing you can do on a stranded spaceship so i will tell you all the secret. the missing piece. what actually inspired this dream. the one thing i didn’t say. it was among us. we were all those stupid fucking amogus characters running around a dream-approximation of that one map with the long hallway and the greenhouse room. everything else about the plot and the emotions involved is all true. i’ve never even seen any of the shows people keep talking about in the comments

Hey if you or anyone you know uses a cane, especially balance, I recently had a really bad flair up and was without one, but I was near a outdoor supply store, and I ended up getting a small hiking stick with a cane handle and let me tell you

1. It's lighter than any cane I've ever used

2. Its telescopic so I can keep it in my car, unlike the "folding" canes that hate being folded

3. It has a spring suspension system to provide a bit of give to your arm, like suspension on a bike, my arm doesn't get sore

4. It COMES WITH different feet for it, you don't have to BUY them seperately

5. Has a wrist strap

It's such a massive upgrade from literally any mobility cane I've ever been sold. Is it as strong as a solid hardwood or steel cane? Hell no. But it can support my weight and I'm about 200 pounds.

Also it was 30 bucks! There are better ones that go higher in price but most canes I've had to buy are more than that and wear out

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

[onewordtest]

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

[joehywheelah]

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

[tenoko1]

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

[cj-amused]

Things I didn’t know

[prismatic-bell]

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”

[jawnwats-deactivated20160713]

You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.

[notesoftruth]

Okay, but someone please explain question marks when followed by a dialogue tag. How do?

[flootzavut]

“The speech tag is still part of the previous sentence,” she explained, ‘so it isn’t capitalised.“

“What do you mean?” he asked. “But there’s a full stop as part of the question mark!”

She nodded gravely. “I know!” she said. “A lot of people find this confusing. But the speech tag belongs to the line of dialogue, it’s still part of the sentence, so it’s wrong to capitalise it.”

She reblogged the post again, because she had recently read far too many potentially enjoyable stories marred by poor dialogue punctuation.

[dechart]

I’ve only seen this post in screenshots till now..

[eddiestarchild]

NOICE. Can’t wait to use this

[magpiefngrl]

“There are two more ways"—she pointed to the blackboard—“to punctuate interruptions. One is with the em dashes outside the quotations marks to indicate continuous speech. The action occurs at the same time as speech. The other—” she sipped from a glass of water “—is em dashes within the quotation marks to indicate interrupted speech.”

[heywriters]

Thank you, because having more than one way to interrupt dialogue is not confusing at all lol (I’ve only seen em dashes inside quotations, the other way hurts my brain—I prefer commas).

[tending-the-hearth]

not to be that overanalyzing person but fyi in "Your Idol", the intro has two specific parts, with the first being "pray for me", and the second is this line chanted in Latin:

"Dies irae illa vos solve in favilla maledictus erus in flamas eternum"

in english, this line is translated into:

"That day of wrath will dissolve you into ashes, cursed master, into eternal flames"

and of course that makes my brain go into overdrive because WHY would the saja boys' song, the song meant to take the souls of all the fans gathered and give that power to Gwi-Ma, start with a section talking about destroying a cursed master

i fully believe Jinu has creative lyric control, and while writing that song (since it had to have happened prior to the Idol Awards) he still had hope in Rumi and her being able to create the honmoon, so he slipped that part in as a sort of final call to her and a final middle finger towards Gwi-Ma, whether it was noticed or not

@legend-of-laurel

I don’t know if this story has made it from my reptile corners of the internet to the larger public but it’s kind of a classic “fuck around and find out” situation.

Jeffrey Leibowitz is this obnoxious dude who is known in exotic pet circles for free-handling his highly venomous pet snakes. He also has the unfortunate habit of mocking anyone who voices the reasonable perspective that doing this can be dangerous not only for the humans but also the snakes involved. There’s a reason reputable facilities don’t pet and cuddle venomous snakes.

Well old Jeff has left quite a trail of terrible hot takes and unhinged rants. He feels that only people who get bit by snakes are idiots who don’t know what they’re doing. He put out this eloquent stance on the subject…

Well guess who got bit by the most venomous* snake in the world, a fucking inland Taipan he was keeping as a pet.

After he is bit, Jeff’s opinion on anti venom is swiftly reconsidered…

This guy is currently hospitalized in organ failure as his doctors try to save his life with the needed anti venom that a reptile facility was kind enough to send for Jeff. Jeff’s entire collection of venomous snakes was euthanized due to his carelessness (I don’t know what’s happened to his pet serval).

Under normal circumstances I would not make fun of someone being so severely injured by an animal, but I am quite frankly furious with this man. His hubris got innocent animals killed. Absolutely nobody needs to have an inland taipan as a pet and the insistence on free-handling these dangerous animals as some kind of ego exercise is unbelievably reckless.

I hope Jeff Leibowitz survives. I hope he learns from this experience and uses his perspective to advocate for better welfare of venomous snakes going forward. At the very least, I hope he is too embarrassed to continue posting these bizarre stream of consciousness rants against anyone who criticizes him…

[talesfromtreatment]

So I'm seeing tons of people wondering why all the snakes were euthanized.

These are animals with extremely specialized care needs that were receiving substandard care. Zoos and venom research facilities do not have open housing for highly venomous reptiles on the regular. There were 14 venomous snakes in his "care" and some were in plastic totes (can be appropriate for smaller non-venomous snakes like my own corns, for example, but NOT venomous) and none were in safe containment. So we have a lot of snakes in inappropriate housing and they all need to move now only everywhere is full. PLUS, any snake taken in would require extensive quarantine and health monitoring to make sure it didn't bring in a deadly pathogen like nidovirus or crypto.

It's the same pathogen reason for why the few native snakes couldn't be released.

It sucks the snakes were euthanized, but there was significant risk of escape or further bites due to the poor husbandry and nowhere with the right caging had room. You couldn't leave the baby inland taipan in a plastic bin for months and without training or anymore local antivenin it wouldn't be safe to even try to fill the water bowl.

His cocksure assholeness is the reason these snakes are dead.
