Art and Sylvie are taking no shit
To everyone asking what's the point of sharing content about the protests in Iran and the killing of Mahsa Amini:
THE PEOPLE IN IRAN ARE BEGGING US TO SHARE THEIR PICS AND VIDS AND POST HER NAME!
Isn't that reason enough?
And do you know why they beg us for our attention?
BECAUSE IT'S MUCH HARDER FOR A GOVERNMENT TO KILL ITS CITIZENS WHILE THE WORLD IS WATCHING
Be their voice, say her name!
You really believe the Iranian government would cut access to social media if it didn't matter?

I'm rewatching some scenes from season 1 in search for clues for a brewing theory (more about that later in a longer post) and while watching episode three I got hit with this little idea.
I'm sure y'all remember this scene.
Let's say, after season 2, few weeks after Rachel left to Themyscira, Dick and Kory take a little trip to that storage unit to sort out through Kory's notes and take everything to the Tower. It's better to keep everything she has there, just in case, and since her memory is back, she can piece it all together and translate what needs to be translated.
So they get to work but... they keep getting distracted by all those baby pictures of their daughter plastered on the walls.
Dick: God, Kory, look at her! How old was she here, 5? Aww
Kory: We're supposed to be working here, Grayson. Remember?
Dick: Yeah, I know but- I mean, look how gorgeous she is!
Kory: You're right. She is cute. Those chubby cheeks, oh my god.
Dick: I'm keeping this one.
Kory: We're keeping all of them.
Dick: Yeah but this one stays with me *hides the picture in his chest pocket.*
I kinda want to turn this into a fic now...
i have a little collection of websites i tend to use for coming up with ideas, naming people or places, keeping clear visuals or logistics, writing basics about places i've never been to, and so on. i tend to do a lot of research, but sometimes you just need quick references, right? so i thought i'd share some of them!
Behind the Name; good for name meanings but also just random name ideas, regardless of meanings.
Fantasy Name Generator; this link goes to the town name generator, which i use most, but there are lots of silly/fun/good inspo generators on there!
Age Calculator; for remembering how old characters are in Y month in Z year. i use this constantly.
Height Comparison; i love this for the height visuals; does character A come up to character B's shoulder? are they a head taller? what does that look like, height-wise? the chart feature is great!
Child Development Guide; what can a (neurotypical, average) 5-year-old do at that age? this is a super handy quickguide for that, with the obviously huge caveat that children develop at different paces and this is not comprehensive or accurate for every child ever. i like it as a starting point, though!
Weather Spark; good for average temperatures and weather checking!
Green's Dictionary of Slang; good for looking up "would x say this?" or "what does this phrase mean in this context?" i love the timeline because it shows when the phrase was historically in use. this is english only, though; i dig a little harder for resources like this in other languages.
I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains
I’m sorry but how is Rachel supposed to be all emo if her hairs white
if i see a single person. A SINGLE PERSON. speaking a WHISPER against wakanda forever i will throttle them and rip out their organs.
If my mutuals can’t rb this then we can’t be mutuals
