I feel like a lot of us neurodivergent + multiply disabled people have something we're good at that doesn't quite match up with "expectations".
Mine is: I have med/high support needs and I'm not coordinated enough to walk straight without guidance. BUT I'm an amazing driver and have been since I was 15. Very safe at high speeds and I LOVE driving. Most people don't expect that!
Does anyone else have a "secret skill" that they're proud of?
(I know abled people can exploit our skills in the form of 'inspiration porn', but it's okay to be proud of your skills too!)

And the Emmy Goes To...
Tumblr media
(Spoilers for RTTE). I realized that there is a skilled actor in the Dragons universe. No, it's not Sir. Oglethorpe, but he's a runner up for the Emmy. It's Dagur. He is almost always acting and convincing everyone or nearly everyone.
First, he played the role of the patricidal maniac. Everybody bought that.
Then, he played the role of the inexperienced leader, so Alvin wouldn't know he was planning on taking the Skrill.
Next role was to seem like a loyal lackey for the Hunters. Neither Grimborn brother knew he was going to betray them from the get-go.
Acted like a loyal Hunter AGAIN after he undoubtedly killed a few when he was proving the one spot was a trap. He did this well enough that he found out where Shattermaster was being taken and could even club one Viking in the back of the knee without them thinking they should attack him.
In the same episode, he pretended to be a homeless traveler and almost convinced Hiccup (even though the Berkian literally saw Dagur with the Hunters, so extra kudos for still making him think it's possible that he's got a unique form of amnesia).
You'd think this would be enough, but he has one more unless I'm miscounting. The final time was when he pretended to be the proud mentor for Gustav. Neither Gustav, Snotlout, nor the other Berkians realized that Dagur really knew the kid was incompetent and had been cheating through everything. (Personally, a hilarious detail is that he's graduating two weeks early. Dagur couldn't take two more weeks of him and still didn't want to just say he sucked and had to go😂).
So, I never really thought about Dagur taking an acting role, but heck, he's been doing that all show. He'd be amazing. Whether he's playing a nice, bad role, or anything in between, I'd put money on him being able to pull it off.

A Persuasive Argument - dpxdc
"Great!" Danny says, clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention. The dinner table falls silent as everyone looks towards him. It's a full house today and, honestly, Danny's a little nervous. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I gathered you here today."
"It's dinnertime. In our house." Duke mutters, while doing a very bad job of concealing his yawn. He holds his fork poised over the braised beef, but, just like everyone else, still looks towards Danny before tucking in. It's intriguing enough to wait.
"Yeah, no one misses Alfie's dinner." Dick says, with a brilliant smile that Danny can't help but return.
"Precisely! What better time to talk to you all than when you're all actually here!"
"Wait, I thought you came round to work on our English essays?" Tim asks, blinking owlishly.
"I'm afraid I've lured you here under false pretences, Tim."
"This is where I live."
"I would still really appreciate help on that essay though, I mean, what the hell is Hamlet even about? I just don't get that old time-y language, like 'Hark! A ghost hath killed me!' - absolute rubbish, what does that even mean?"
"The ghost never kills anyone in Hamlet, he's there to tell Hamlet that he was murdered. Have you actually read it?"
"No, but it sounds like you have. Tim, I want this guy to help me with my essay instead. I know for a fact that you haven't read Hamlet, either."
"So? We don't need Jason, I've read the Sparknotes."
"Hi Jason, I'm Danny, pleasure to meet you, summarise Hamlet in three sentences or less."
"Am I auditioning to help you write your essays? I can't believe you’ve gone through your whole school life without reading it, it’s good!"
"Hamlet, along with a number of other classics, was banned in our house because it portrayed ghosts as intelligent and sympathetic beings rather than evil, animalistic beasts. I didn’t even get to see The Muppet's Christmas Carol until last year with Tim! It was surprisingly good, and I hate Christmas because everyone always argued and it sucked. But we're getting off topic. I—"
"No, no, please go back to that, because what the fu—"
"Boys, please." Bruce interrupts, looking to the world as if he wants to hang his head in his hands. "Danny, you were about to say something?"
"Oh, yeah, Mr. Wayne! Thanks!"
"Please, call me Bruce."
"Well, that very succinctly brings me to my point, because I'd actually really like to call you dad."
Nobody says a word. Nobody even blinks, all as shocked as the other, watching open-mouthed as Danny pulls his laptop out from beside his chair. Bruce can definitely feel a headache coming on.
"Before you say anything, I've prepared a 69 slide PowerPoint presentation on why you, Bruce Wayne, should adopt me, Danny Last-Name-Pending. Please save your questions, comments, and verdict until the end, thank you."
#dpxdc#batpham#i forget - can we tag the parent fandoms? w/e#immediately alfred's like: while i do appreciate your initiative may i suggest it wait until after dinner?#and danny - who has barely eaten proper homecooked food ever - takes one bite and then absolutely wolfs down the whole lot#after he's finished he's like 'bear with - I've got to add that to the 'Reasons I Would Like to Live Here' section'#danny's powerpoint has tailored sections for each batfam member with lists of reasons why they'd get along#my au thoughts on this is that the fentons disowned danny when he told them he was phantom#and that this is after the ultimate enemy - wherein which he allied himself with the JL to fight against dan#(which didnt really work at all - BUT he knows some of their identities now INCLUDING batman's)#so one of the main reasons why he'd be a great fit is that he knows their vigilante status anyway so they don’t need to worry about secrets#dick just turns to tim like 'he’s your friend. he learnt this from you.'#tim: 'i didn't tell him our identities!! i would never!!'#dick: 'no i know that. it's the stalker tendancies. it's baby tim all over again'#tim: scandalised gasp#they all eat dinner in silence just super subdued and in shock and sending glances to bruce and danny#duke like: 'so i know I'm the last one in the family but like... this isn't how it normally happens right? did any of you make powerpoints?#tim gets all shifty because he absolutely did make a powerpoint he just never actually showed it to anyone#everyone stares at tim because they all know. it was in one of bab's blackmail files she has on him#damian's slide has danny offering to throw down at any time. 'tim says you like to prove yourself with your skills?#how about a real challenge? if i beat you then you have to vote yes to adopting me!'#damian is in two minds about accepting because... 1) look at him damian could take danny in his sleep! but#2) on the off chance that he does win... damian does not want any more brothers#(he takes the bet and its a suprisingly fun fight - and while he'll never say this... he would vote yes even without the wager)#on one of danny's slides there's a picture of ellie: you'll also get my clone sister! two children for the price of one!!#uhhh.... thats it now - I've been having fun with this haha#spent all day with the 'ive lured you here under false pretences' 'danny i live here' line in my head haha#anyway enjoy!!!!!! this was fun#i wanna make these slides so bad

a secret life session five compilation of my favorite silly moments (ft. my poor phone quality camera)
Transcript below cut (did it for fun; this is the first time I've done one):
[Jimmy]: No?
[Martyn]: Wait- so wait. You're not the ghost horse?
[Martyn]: I thought you were ghost rider! Who's ghost rider?
[Jimmy]: ...Who is that?
[Martyn]: I mean we could always punch them and find out.
[Jimmy]: Yeah.
(Immediately sword crits Lizzie)
[Martyn]: AH...
[Jimmy]: OH MY GO-
(Long Pause)
[Jimmy]: NO! NO. NO.
[Martyn, overlapping]: What did you do?!
~~~
[Mumbo]: Who wants to have a competition with me? How many times can yoou jump over this campfire?
[Martyn]: Uhh, sure?
[Mumbo]: 'Kay.
(Mumbo takes damage while jumping over the campfire)
[Martyn]: Oh, jeez.
[Pearl, exasperated]: Mumbo...
[Cleo, fairly amused] Mumbo...
[Pearl]: Zero, appearantly.
[Mumbo]: So, I- I've set the score at zero.
(Martyn tries and succeeds)
[Mumbo]: Ooo, okay.
[Martyn]: There you go.
[Mumbo]: You already got one.
[Pearl]: Mumbo...what are you doing..?
(Mumbo jumps again and takes damage again)
[Mumbo]: Okay...
[Cleo, laughing]: Mumbo..!
(Martyn tries it again and jumos over it flawlessly, again)
[Mumbo]: Zero again for me.
[Pearl, overlapping]: Mumbo, stop-
~~~
[Tango]: You got spleefed by an enderman. I love it.
[Etho, doing a poor imitation of Bdubs]: Sheesh! I'm late! Judas Priest! Let me park my horse. I'm coming up!
(Heart Foundation's laughs + Grian's hysterical laughter overlapping with his talking)
[Grian]: Hi, "Bdubs."
[Skizz]: This thing's not ready because-
[Etho, still doing that impression]: What is this?--
~~~
[Lizzie]: I'm going.
[Tango]: Lizzie, we missed your party!
[Lizzie]: Oh, did you?
[Skizz]: We're so sorry.
[Lizzie]: Oh, I didn't notice because I was having so much fun with the one person that turned up! Goodbye, everybody!
(Heart Foundation all "aww"-ing out of sympathy)
~~~
[Cleo]: If you go to- If you go and do levels in the end you can like-- like I got seven, so.
[Gem]: Wowww.
[Cleo]: Hi, biggest, bravest, boy!
[Bdubs]: Thank you! I am!
(Cleo wheeze)
~~~
[Bdubs]: Okay. Yes?
[Etho, overlapping]: Look at this guy.
[Grian, very monotone]: Bdubs, my beloved. You've returned.
[Bdubs]: Wait- both of you? I'm gonna puke--
~~~
[Joel]: What is Pearl building???
[Gem, hidden beneath Mumbo's laughter]: You should just...admit defeat, if I'm being honest.
[Joel, overlapping]: Pearl...
[Joel again, deeply distressed]: WH- WHY HAVE YOU GONE FOR THIS COLOR SCHEME, PEARL??? WHY THIS SHAPE AND THIS COLOR SCHEME, PEARL????

How does this man sit
Tumblr media
Gem kindly pointed out that Ethos chair doesn't fit under his desk. His desk also doesn't seem like a desk that can move up and down, it seems like normal desk hight.
So how does this man sit for his desk to be at shoulder height
I've drew my guess on how he does it, be aware I have no knowledge in drawing or anatomy
Tumblr media
Because this chair doesn't fit he would need to lean back to have any back support. If we assume he's the standard height of a human he would need to scoot down to the edge of his chair to have his elbows comfortably on his desk
And some of you made fun about Cleos back, this can't be healthy.

i don't know what order to start Dissecting, so i'll just start with:
it's absolutely fascinating how the dynamic Wally & Barnaby had - to my knowledge - before the update, and a dynamic i'd seen speculated elsewhere and generally accepted, has been completed turned on its head
see, given that Wally is the "main character" and Barnaby is classified as "his best friend", i got the feeling that Barnaby kind of... tags along on Wally's 'shenanigans'. that he's the sidekick, the best friend. especially since their dynamic has been previously & briefly described as "Barnaby is very polite to Wally." he's the Companion.
but the audios sorta paint a reverse picture. in the Interview, when Barnaby enters stage right, he completely bowls over Wally's introduction and dominates the interview. when the interviewer asks how the two of them are handling the fame, even outright asking Wally, Barnaby doesn't hesitate to answer the question himself, and only about himself. Wally doesn't get another word in edge-wise until the interviewer explicitly singles Wally out.
(now, an argument could be made that Barnaby knew that Wally was somewhat overwhelmed with all of the questions, and tried to take the reins to give him a reprieve. but, considering that the interview seems to be very early on the possible timeline - like, very soon after Welcome Home debuted - i don't think this is likely. i doubt Barnaby and Wally would've had the time to solidify their dynamic or really get to know each other that well yet)
and Barnaby continues to take point in pretty much all of their other conversations, too. like in the mystery Howdy/Barnaby/Wally audio, their interaction gives off the vibes that Wally is Barnaby's sidekick, his tag-along.
(on a related tangent, it's fascinating how the website described the episodes as "[beginning] with Wally introducing the focus or theme for the day before coming across other characters who would join him on his escapades until the end of the day." but from pretty much everything we've seen so far, it seems like He's the one who's just along for the ride, bouncing from neighbor shenanigan to neighbor shenanigan instead of having his own adventures.
of course, if the 14 audios are present time, which is honestly somewhat likely, this could be because the show isn't running. they aren't doing episodes - they're just existing, doing their things. no need for Wally to take point in any way shape or form. tangent over)
in the 14 audios with Barnaby, he doesn't even acknowledge Wally until the very end - which, of course, could be because that's how the scenes are set up. except that in some of them, the characters do directly acknowledge Wally's presence outside of the endings. Eddie in 5-14, Howdy and Poppy in 1-14, and Frank in 4-14 (technically, since he was infodumping to Wally at the very start before Barnaby interrupted). you'd think that a guy would try to include his best friend a little more!
maybe i'm reading into it too much. & given what we know about Wally as a character, it would make sense for Barnaby to be the go-getter Main Guy of the two. but it really seems like its Barnaby & Wally instead of Wally & Barnaby. he's just kinda... there. going along with whatever Barnaby is up to.
but also, on the other side of things - & it's occurring to me as i type this, it's interesting how in a lot of audios, Barnaby seems to seek Wally out. in "Just So", he shows up to fetch Wally. in 4-14, Barnaby interrupts Frank and Wally's gardening session, almost as if he's stopping by to check on his little buddy. in 7-14, Barnaby calls Julie's house (presumably) searching for Wally, or at least checking in once again. something to consider in all of this!

FMA fic I'm never going to write:
Hoenheim's lifespan and continued existence is entirely tied to the hundreds of thousands to possibly millions of dead his soul eats off of, slowly leeching life from the dead kingdom of Xerxes.
...It stands to reason, then, when begetting life, that spiritual artefacts make themselves known in the begotten sons of the dead. There are only four that can claim true heritage of Xerxes— the immortal, the synthesized man, and the heirs to the memories of a long-gone people.
Or. Well. Gone in body, certainly. But that's hardly stopped anyone from wanting to step up and parent.

I have yet to meet a furry artist that is not crazy good.
What the hell are those people drinking
Is there a secret furry cult where you are granted insane art skills after sacrificing a toe?! Is that it!?????

bakugo in the authors note of his fic:
"omg so sorry for no update i got caught up in some stuff, died for a bit but everything is fine now !! next week will be a longer one, make sure to leave a comment if u liked this chap !!"
Bakugou wouldve been like "i was gone for so long because i went to war and fucking died. Here's 7k of yaoi." and then ditch the website for months. Ppl in the comments would wonder if the fic was his will and if he died right after posting. Little do they know he's in his own Lil gay story.
