The best thing about Dick Grayson is you put him with the other Bats and he appears to be a friendly, lighthearted, jokester, but you put him with other heroes and he suddenly looks uptight, paranoid, and seriously lacking in average social graces. Nothing about his character has really changed it’s just that this uptight and paranoid boy is friendly, and lighthearted compared to the complete emotional constipation of the other bats😂 He’s a perfect middle ground between the Bats, and the other heroes.
thus why TT Dick was completely in character, he was just, you know, surrounded by other teenagers for once.
I wonder if the idea of supporting your artist friends by commissioning them will bring back having portraits of oneself in the home. but instead them being like, a status symbol, as a way to show off your very talented friends?
Like “ah yes I see you admiring the family portrait above the mantlepiece - my friend drew it, aren’t they talented? here’s their twitter they’re accepting commissions OH and they also did the one of my D&D group in the living room come see!”
When your friend says something that leaves themselves wide open for an easy remark, and they immediately know what you’re thinking, so you don’t even have to say anything and you’re just left looking at them like
As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.
The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive. Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.
Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.
Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.
Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf,
Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:
“As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.
But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. […] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”
You: Bakugo, Midoriya, and Todoroki will be the next big three.
Me, an intellectual: Actually, the big three were not known for flashy quirks nor particularly good grades. They tended to not stand out too much in the sports festivals and didn’t come into UA with exceptional control over their quirks. Rather, what earned them recognition were their personalities in combination with an understanding of their weaknesses and a desire to grow more than anything else. Knowing this, the next big three seems more likely to be Kirishima, Yaoyorozu, and Iida. In this essay, I will
