The Problem With Autism Is Sometimes You Want To Do Something (brave) But You Need Someone To Gently

for all of you who struggle to draw horse feet. :) You’ve gotta have those pasterns in there, as they are the horse’s main shock absorbers, as seen in the “bearing weight” example.

If you can handle an animal autopsy, here’s an interesting vid on how the muscles and joints work in the lower leg of the horse.

Boring

“Asexual characters are boring” I have traveled across eleven countries and ten states When I was thirteen I had hydrochloric acid dumped down my back and I walked away without a scratch When I was twenty-one I broke into castle ruins with a professor and found out afterwards that they were probably haunted

I once got stranded on a mountain while I was searching for the Cave of Zeus and got rescued by a little old lady who didn’t speak a word of English and the local village’s schoolteacher who did

I’ve learned how to surf on water, to dance with fire, and to bungee jump through the air I’ve walked up mountains, down beaches and through forests

My friends tell me I have the weirdest luck of anyone they’ve ever met and laugh about what mysterious forces must conspire to keep me alive

And yet, according to you a story about my life would be dull and uninteresting simply because I have no interest in sex

I wasn’t aware that that was the sum total of my value That no one cared about what I’d done only who

That every man must get a girl and every girl must be gotten and that to do otherwise is to be banished into obscurity

And yet I’m still here, still writing, still telling stories, and while I have been described as many things boring has yet to be one of them

Asexual characters are boring I pity your imagination

This is my headcanon for what happened while Rosie was talking to Charlie

@tealty You have inspired me to draw some fanart for this as well! It’s no where near as good as your’s but I’m still pretty proud of it. The sheet music in the background is from Paint It Black. It’s a snippet from my part, specifically my section’s feature (my band is playing a section).

Dp x Dc prompt (short)1:

Danny learns how to play an instrument and gets a gig at one if the Bats Rouges bar or something. The Bats show up to fight said Rouge and while the rest of Dannys band ran and left he stays playing music. Like the band in titanic did but instead he’s playing some up beat or intense beat to make it sound like their in a fight scene. Better yet if the instrument he learns is the Violin.

So while most of the rouges would probably be smart enough to not fuck with the disaster that is Danny “grew up in an OSHA violation” Fenton, the Joker is not most rouges.

Cowards.

The lot of them.

This kid wasn’t any different than the rest.

For all the others had been talking about him and hyping him up, he really wasn’t all that special.

He’d hadn’t even put up a fight!

Pathetic.

He’d found the newest addition to the Wayne brood wandering alone, at night! Now that was just asking for something bad to happen.

Hearing a groan from the cameras he turned to face then again.

The boy had finally awoken.

He watched as he looked around at his surroundings.

He put out much less than he normally would, wanting to see if the stories about the boy were true.

He had heard from Killer Croc that the young Wayne had managed to take down all of his goons with nothing but a paper clip and two green post-it notes. Croc didn’t know where the post-it notes had come from, but apparently the paper clip had been found on the floor next to him.

So naturally, he’d left even less for the child to work with.

Only a small decorative Christmas tree and a little red clown nose. It was Christmas Eve after all, and who doesn’t love clowns.

***

The Batman stared shocked at the mangled broken body, somehow still alive.

Barely, but alive nonetheless.

The only clue as to what had happened was a green post-it note on the Joker’s battered body.

This was my first time writing so I’d really appreciate some thoughts and feedback!

Have a love morning/day/afternoon/evening/night!

This concept hasn’t left me alone since I saw that “Danny is a chemistry wizard who teaches a chem class, but in a very Fenton way” post, and i need to yell it out into the void.

Danny gets adopted by the batfam, but he’s like that with chemistry and mechanics and it gives them all a stroke. Especially Bruce. Doubly so if Danny is his bio kid or clone or something. 

Danny has an allowance and he buys the most concentrated shit on the market with it because he got bored and wanted to see if he could re-create the fear toxin antidote he saw in the cave, especially since they seem pretty low on it. Do they have to get it from somewhere else? Danny knows the Waynes are rich, but there has to be a better way to do it than buying it for an arm and a leg. Maybe he’ll mess around and do the one for joker venom later. 

Lab safety? Oh, yeah Dick, I’ve got my goggles and gloves and jumpsuit on. Of course I have the hood up. Turn on the vent? What vent? Why would I need a vent? Labels? Dude, look at it, it’s cetrimonium chloride. Oh, yeah, that’s the shampoo i got it from. You’d be surprised how many things you can isolate from household stuff. 

Why would I use machines to measure this? Isn’t that for when you’re already busy doing something else? Yeah, like the centrifuge running over there. *gestures vaguely off to the left, to some abomination of mechanics* Whatddya mean that’s a safety hazard? It’ll stay together just fine; I made sure to use a new bike chain.

Where’s the rest of the blueprints? What do you mean “that’s it”? Aren’t there revisions and ideas? Where’s the reminders? Why’s there only one machine???

meanwhile the bats are wondering how the fuck the Fentons get literally anything done with lab safety apparently being a suggestion at best, and their storage system apparently being categorized by nine layers of nonsense and how violent the invention has the potential to be, if Danny’s ramblings are anything to go by. And Bruce “I need plans and contingencies for everything” Wayne is absolutely trying to not have an aneurysm from how much Danny just Does Things with no warning and no way that should feasibly work. 

• Use the hand you write with.

• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.

• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.

• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.

bluey and bingo!

I got myself Aseprite and figured out how to make a sprite sheet! Super cool, gotta use it more~

Also went back to my roots and drew Danny after binging loads of DP/Batman fanfics which had me feeling nostalgic!

Here is the goggle doc on what to do! Even if you don’t need to live in New York, you can message the tourism board.
