Hey, sorry for asking this so long after you finished, but i was wondering if you know anywhere where Cass is referred to as dyslexic because i can't find any. is it just one of these fanon/conventional wisdom things? thanks in advance

Thanks for your ask, doomninja!

Omg, I should really start picking up my sideblogs again. Sorry there haven’t been any posts on this in months. I just haven’t found the energy for it.

Anyway, to the best of my memory, Cass was never referred to as dyslexic in the comics. She does however suffer from aphasia, which is a broader term for language impairment of varying forms and degrees. Cass’ aphasia started out as a complete inability to understand spoken language and severe difficulty speaking even short, single-syllable words. Eventually, a telepath re-arranged her brain so that she could understand spoken language, but reading and writing was still extremely hard for her.

I tagged all mentions of her aphasia as part of my posts, so for a full overview of all mentions of her aphasia (at least until Detective Comics 987), just click here.

for the ask game(s) 💚💗💟 5. 11. 21

i'm not doing the pokeball one 😳

also are you doing any stretches to help with your legs? if not you should be, i can talk you though some if you like

💚~ I want to be you - I don't think I'm anything that special so this probably isn't that hard to achieve. I'm a pretty large disaster of a failgirl so you can always failgirl your way up!

💗~ I want to start an intense platonic friendship with you - This would be nice, I've definitely meant to message you more about stuff and have always appreciated you tagging me in posts you'd think I'd like (very me behavior sending things people like to them actually so you're already achieving that green heart) If you want I'm usually more active on Discord (though I've been trying to be more active on Tumblr again) I'd be happy to send you my info.

💟~ I’m afraid of messaging you first - I get this so much, I'm so bad about messaging people I'm so terrified that I'm bothering them or that they don't actually like me and are just putting up with me and that every message might be the last one where they reveal they don't want to ever talk to me again. This is why I send people things they like, they don't need to reply and it's chill but I can let them know I'm thinking about them and still care about them as friends without feeling too pushy. If I'm not regularly messaging and talking to someone I just get super terrified to message them. I'm trying really hard to get better at that lately though. On receiving messages, I always love when friends message me though, I sometimes take a while to respond because people can't always be online or available for conversations but I never intentionally ignore a message and I'm always happy that someone felt like they wanted to talk or to share or even just say hi in passing and I've always really enjoyed your tags of posts and messages in the past. 5. How do you like to take care of yourself? - This is a hard question because I've struggled really hard to take care of myself for a long time, whenever I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it I feel like something goes wrong and undoes all my progress. My general way is to depression queue League of Legends for hours at a time until I feel so gross I feel like I have to fix my life. (I do not recommend this approach)

11. Do you have a comfort item? Tell us about it! - I don't think I currently have anything that could be considered a comfort item, the closest would be the body pillow I bought because I kept waking up with my arms twisted in weird positions and numb and body pillows work great for that. I also used to wake up straight into panic attacks a lot from nightmares and having numb limbs you can't feel when you're barely awake and panicking adds a layer of unreality that makes it hard to tell if you're still dreaming or not so massive bonus when it accidentally helped with grounding that a lot. Thankfully I get far less of that these days.

21. Tea, Coffee, or hot cocoa? - Tea in the morning for my caffeine to stop myself from drinking the devil's paint thinner in energy drinks and then Hot Cocoa in the evening. Love a good Hot Cocoa and anime session. I'm not going to lie I was like half asleep and didn't read like any of them except the last one jsjfgdjksdgn those are way more intense than I realized. Awesome. Some good tropes in there. As for stretches I am doing some, I just got excited about getting my under desk treadmill set up and went way overboard running on it multiple hours each day despite also working a bunch of overtime shifts this week and my body told me to cut that shit out. My leg feels mostly better and I probably could have ran this morning but it's still a little stiff when doing my stretches and I have a full shift in a bit so I figured it would be safest to do the shift first and see if the 8 hours of standing aggravate anything before doing a run today instead of the other way around and aggravating it again then standing on it for 8 hours.

so how'd the move go? settling in to you new place?

It's gone well! I slept in the place for the first time last night after a day of hauling furniture and boxes and building 6 bookcases. I am sore all over but now get to enjoy unboxing. There's something super calming and nice about organizing and sorting book shelves. I've still got some stuff on the way that hasn't arrived yet (like my kitchen table) but we are so there.

Hey, feel free to steal away! I never get around to writing any of my ideas anyways and I love seeing other people enjoy my ideas and explore them in their own ways. Besides if we can get 100 new Isekai stories a year there's no reason we can't have multiple villain Harper fics.

you are one of the people who argues that queer isn't acceptable, even in academia? right? if so why is gay acceptable? it has been used as a slur just as much (that's so gay), so why is it okay as a umbrella term (gay rights) where queer isn't? if it isn't, is there a okay blanket term? I mean it's not like LGB/P'T'aqg is uncontroversial. thanks in advance :)

That’s a complete oversimplification of my view based on a reblogged post. My view has always been that applying queer to people who don’t want it applied to them is not fair. (Even if I’m one of those who doesn’t mind being called queer.)

The post which pointed out the title of academia courses was simply making a point that it’s being used even as people have spoken out against it as a blanket term, whereas gay doesn’t have the same outcry. But hey, I’m not going to say anyone would be out of line to ask others not to call them gay because of bad experiences, but the community has, by and large, accepted gay as a blanket term a long time ago (before lesbian was invented or in usage) and the usage as a slur is as new (relatively) as an acronym for the community leading to LGBT+. However, the recent push to change to queer has been met with what seems like a 50/50 split almost, yet those in positions of power have pushed their view and thus we have people speaking out vehemently. 

So, while I would fight for someone who didn’t want to be labelled gay over queer because of negative associations, there is no way that comparing the two as slurs is fair to those who have suffered under the queer slur.

writer asks: 4 and 9 if that's not too much

4) what are some themes you love writing about?

I tend to gravitate towards found family and transformation of identity. They’re my favorite themes in media, getting to see people find a place where they belong, as well as become someone newer, and better, than who they were before.

9) a passage from a WIP

She knelt on top of what appeared to be a panel from an old plane, the only thing saving her from burning her knees being the heavy green material of her coveralls. The steel panel itself rested atop a large pile of metal junk, giving Marie a view of the desert that surrounded her in all directions, as well as the small town that she called home. She reached out with her right hand to pull an old fan out of the way and toss it aside. It fell down the junk pile with a clang and a clatter, before joining several other unneeded objects at ground level. As the right arm added to the discard pile, her left reached out to grab a large egg-shaped object.

wait bop is R rated? the first thing to come to mind was that meme, so Helena swears in front of cass, so dinah covers her ears. then later cass says the same curse, then you just see in the background dinah going to beat up Helena (who has no regrets) while renee trys to stop them

XD I love it. And yeah! Margot Robbie did an interview a while back where she said that the movie would be R rated, and would have a lower budget than most modern superhero movies. Considering how only Dinah has powers, BoP is likely not gonna use too many special effects, which would save on the budget a lot. And with an R rating, it’d be easier to get away with physical violence and Renee’s sexuality. Possibly Harley’s too.

hey fetch! did you notice in tec 983 black lightning said something about being new to electrophysics. can you think of anyone who could help him with that... someone who is quite good with electrical stuff... someone who has spent a year working in a clinic so probably knows something about medical work by this point... someone who could help behind the scenes with the outsiders till everything goes sideways and takes up there old mantle to help... can you think of anyone ;) ;) ;)

…………..Harold Allnut, the mute man with kyphosis who lives in the Batcave?

Okay, being serious, I DESPERATELY want Harper to pop up in this arc. The villain is going after people who work for Batman, and Harper WAS one of his sidekicks, so…. I can totally see Karma going after Harper, and then her deciding to help them all out after, and potentially ending up in a supporting role on The Outsiders. Black Lightning probably needs some suit upgrades, and Cass needs someone to kiss.

Please, Bryan Hill? Please give us this?
