Pioneering paleontologist Mary Anning was born #OTD (21 May 1799 – 9 March 1847). Let's also take a moment to appreciate her beloved dog companion, Tray:

DM: You've been trapped in what seems to be his discarded room of treasure, what do you do?
*Gnome Fighter discovers various items, everything is made of gold*
DM: underneath the fallen rubble, you find a beautiful golden egg the size of your head
Gnome, immediately: I drop it
*table bursts into chaos, for the rest of the game an extremely malnourished and deformed griffin follows the Gnome*

Bonus: Gerry having to shove Dale inside the house because the big dork wants to stay outside and play with the dog

Had a realization. Ais would be that guy with a shit ton of pets but not all of them are dogs. Like at least two fish tanks, a horned lizard, snake, giant colorful tube enclosure for his rats, and a turtle that's set up to hibernate in his fridge

Tim Drake, to me personally, is a selective genius. More accurately, he’s just an insanely fast learner when something even mildly interests him (typically something mentioned by Batman and/or Robin). Unfortunately this leads to weird and inconsistent gaps in his knowledge.
Like, for example, and referencing a post about him being unable to work computers I’ve made in the past, Tim learned all about PC hardware because Batman mentioned upgrading the Batcomputers specs once, which was then plastered across forums with the title of like “BATMAN SEEMS TO HAVE THE BUDGET OF NASA, IS THIS WHERE OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS ARE REALLY GOING?” and Tim wanted to harness the power of the sun to create something similar. This led him down a rabbit hole, and now he can create a super computer from someone’s spare junk drawer. However, when it comes to installing software and actually using the PC beyond its basic functions? Uninteresting. The only reason he learned later on in his Robin career was because Barbra found his lack of ability to hack deeply concerning and decided to remedy it. She provided the proper motivation.
Other weird ass conversations include:
- Was able to deduce the strain of fear toxin that Damian was under, synthesize an antidote, and track Crane down to his warehouse at the Docks district within a three hour time period. (Bruce offhandedly mentioned that they should start writing down the effects of different fear toxins so that they could eventually identify which was which to make antidote administration easier, knowing it’d be an insane and labor intensive task that no one would really do because they were doing just fine currently. Tim promptly created a spreadsheet, copped the cowl footage, and got to work. He learned advanced chemistry for this, promptly bringing his barely passing grade up to an A within two months.)
- Once was able to list the entirety of Haley’s Circus lineup over the years, correctly identifying which performers had been kidnapped by the Court of Owls, yet couldn’t name a single United States president before the year of 2012. (Got embarrassingly into circus performances because y’know, Dick is his hero and so he memorized the entire history of Haley’s Circus so he’d always know who/where/what Dick was talking about when he referenced his time there)
- Word for Word reciting an obscure peace treaty for an ALIEN NATION, but wasn’t able to tell Dick what the Fibonacci sequence was. (Starfire is Tamaranian and Tim assumed that she and Dick would get married one day and he didn’t want to be insensitive so he hacked into the Green Lantern files that all the Earth Lanterns update and got to work researching. Even the stuff that only tangentially mentioned the planet and people)

Mary Cassatt was born #OTD (22 May 1844 - 15 Jun 1926).
Tumblr media
Mary Cassatt Little Girl in a Blue Armchair, 1878 oil on canvas 89.5 × 129.8 cm (35 1/4 × 51 1/8 in.) National Gallery of Art
The cute dog in her famous 1878 painting Little Girl in a Blue is Baptiste, a Brussels Griffon she got through her good friend and fellow Impressionist artist Edgar Degas (1834-1917). She became a devotee to the breed thereafter and you can find them in a number of her other works! (The girl was a daughter of a friend of Degas' too.)

PC: I know I said I wasn't going to steal anything we didn't actually need, but can we keep it?! Can it be our mascot?!
DM: Yes you can.
PC: thank you for your permission, but I was asking my traveling companion, who would have to deal with the fallout of taking a Bag of Devouring with us.
