I am Motaz Mohamed ⤠a palestinian youngman from Gazaššµšø, seeking to find safety and peace āļøfor my family if twenty members. We have been ā¤šµšøšpassing through all forms of torture and pain for almost ten months because of the war on Gaza.
Life is very miserable and tragicā¤šµšø as we are now deprived ā¤šµšøšof all means of living. Drink water, healthy food health care and medicineā¤šµšø have become things šµšøšā¤of the past. We are dying dear friends. That is why I am asking you to help us break through this tough situation.Life in hot tents is incredibly sad and miserable. We are now experiencing the worst circumstances we have ever had in our life. The war has stolen happiness and life from us.
Please don't leave us alone in such dire times. Your kind contribution either through donating whatever you can or sharing my posts will be highly appreciated and valued.ā¤šµšøš
Iām so sorry that I canāt directly donate but I can try and share your post.
Can we have a built in containment cell
For no specific reason at all
Said softly refers to the tone of the speaker, as in the emotions present when speaking.
Whispered refers to the volume of whatās being said, as in how quiet or loud the words are said.
Yes, there is a difference, a somewhat significant one at that.
I know adverbs are controversial, but "said softly" means something different than "whispered" and this is the hill I will die on.
Hera, hearing Odysseus didnāt cheat on his wife:
Funny thing is, all the goons end up being loyal as hell because of this. They know their boss treats them right so they earn it with their loyalty and respect.
Think of it like;
Jason: Jump.
Goons: How high?
Itās built on trust.
Jason Todd with his goons:
Frrrrr
We learn from one another
"Omg I love your artstyle!!"
Thanks!, I stole it from 6 people
Athena: Father, God King, rarely do I ask for favors. Now I'm knocking on your door with hopes to save a friendship with one who's a prisoner far from home.
Zeus: That's a noble and heartwarming goal, my dear Daughter. Tell me who this dear friend of yours is, and I shall gladly help.
Athena: Odysseus.
Zeus:
Zeus: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Zeus: You mean that little smart-ass who I got to drop the baby off the wall and then sacrificed his crew?! The one who doxed himself?! HAHAHAHAHA!
Zeus: No, seriously, who is it?
inspirational frogger
Sometimes I feel like us as the bat family fandom forget how starry eyed people get about Nightwing canonically.
Because with the exception of early era Tim most of the Batkids are like. lol thatās my loser older brother or some variation of yeahā¦heās some guy I guess? He helps me with homework?
And Nightwing is the canonically a center of multiversal light.
When Heroes meet Nightwing they do the vigorous handshake and the āitās an honor to meet you sir, I have heard so much about you oh my godā
There are so many character where they are literally shown giggling and kicking their feet whenever Nightwing talks to them.
Even the people who donāt have the celebrity level worship of him respect the hell out of him and call him as soon as they need help.
From raven to Starfire to Superman to Superboy to all or the flashes there is so much respect and awe given to this one dude.
And it is deserved
But imagine you are Damian Wayne and youāve been working with what 90% of the people youāve met (all bats) have been calling an embarrassment to your fatherās legacy.
Your mother hates him and your Grandfather doesnāt feel that strongly about him.
The red hood calls him an embarrassment and a coward and he couldnāt even keep Red Robin from running away.
Your father tells him that he never should have been Batman
And youāve worked with him and you know what you think everyone is full of shit about him and you and him the new Batman and Robin are the best no matter what anyone says.
And fuck it the fact he keeps going in a suit that everyone tells him heās not good enough for is scratching something in your brain that youāre refusing to acknowledge because why would you feel that way? You are the circus freak have nothing in common (shut up)
And then you meet the justice league and all the extended teams.
And people are falling over themselves to listen to a word out of your brothers, your Batmanās mouth. They wait for a nod or headshake and dictate decades worth of planning on it.
Both Drake and Toddās hero teams ask him for advice with or without their designated bats presence.
The man of steel asks for child rearing advice and wonder woman cracks a joke about a spar
Newer heroes whisper about him in the halls
Heās literally your favorite heroās favorite hero
And itās breaking Damianās Brain
Because well⦠he kinda gets slapped around in Gotham. Heās the butt of half the jokes the other Batkids make and Dick just smiles and takes it.
The rogues have a bounty on nightwings ass and he gets leered at by goons, rogues, civilians and anti-heroās alike and he doesnāt say anything.
He lets oracle crack jokes about a pretty face and having to do everything herself
Letās Jason run the alley despite the fact that apparently he knows how to take it back
Apparently heās had 12 people tailing Drake since Paris and despite being the man Raās Al Ghul calls detective has yet to notice. (Because you canāt tell me Dick was just magically at the right place to catch Tim falling to his death on coincidence)
And necessary to peace talks because heās the best they have at deescalation
Like imagine you are a child who was raised to believe power is this obvious, all consuming thing. That the ones who control the board are visibly larger than life figures who fought their way to the top and cling to power by even the thinnest hangnail if they had to.
People who ignore simpler morals or an overall greater goal or good
And then youāre taken in by the man who whispers the correct answers into the larger than life figures ear.
Like I feel like that would have such an impact because Dick didnāt take power from anyone to reach his goals, itās why his siblings donāt really defer to him unless in crisis.
Dick didnāt take power, no people just looked at him and decided he was the best option to give it to.
Everyone basically looked at this kid and went, yeah youāre the future of all heroism.
And if that dude canāt even get Bruce Wayneās respect what chance does Damian Wayne have
If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas:Ā
1. Sprained Ankle
A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.
2. Rib Contusion
A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.
3. Concussions
This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a characterās judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.
I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.
4. Fractured Finger
A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.
5. Road Rash
Road rash isĀ an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.
6. Shoulder Dislocation
This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.
7. Deep Laceration
A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.
This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.
8. Burns
Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.
If you want to explore writing burns, read here.
9. Pulled Muscle
This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.
10. Tendonitis
Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.
This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)
