What are some good runs to read featuring Traci Thirteen? I'm interested in the character, but don't know where to start
I think Traci Thirteen or a magic based character should join the team. Mostly for Traci & Blue Beetle. I guess another magic based character that can join the team can be Raven. With Zatanna joining the Justice League the Young Justice team currently doesn't have a magic/sorcery character.
I’m so happy Mary Bromfield has finally made her way onto the screen and not just in a passing mention. I really hope she suits up at some point in the arc. Can’t wait to see why she left the team and the life behind.
Phantom Stranger is a character defined by his lack of character, his lack of identity. But, he's been around long enough that we can introduce him in his many forms.
Comic Version: You can divide Phantom Strangers comic version into three distinct areas; the post Flashpoint version, the divine agent, and the true mystery.
The first, and earliest, is where he was a genuine mystery man. He filled a role similar to several other characters at the time, an occult detective who investigated paranormal phenomena. This was a common mystery man archetype, including the likes of Mark Merlin and Richard Occult. What made Phantom Stranger unique was that he wasn't exactly the viewpoint character, more commonly the viewpoint character was Terry Thirteen. Thirteen believed that every paranormal situation could be resolved through scientific results, much like Wally in Season One. And while most of the cases that the two investigated did indeed have a "phony" magic element that Terry was able to rationalise and explian, Stranger often cleaned up an element to the case which goes unexplained - having a more real occult element to it. Stranger himself, due to his strange disappearances and lack of identity, were a mystery for Thirteen and he often wanted to uncover his mystery.
As he received more books, the idea of him being a magical entity overrode that origin as a detective and mystery solver, becoming connected to the Presence as a guiding force. In Secret Origins from post-crisis, where there was an effort towards codifying the origins of the various characters, Phantom Stranger gave 4 different versions, ranging from being the Wandering Jew to Fallen Angel, to an Astronaut that witnessed the creation of the universe due to time travel. His origin was meant to be multiple choice, indefinite, but generally connecting Stranger to theological concepts. In this form, Stranger was considered one of the most powerful magical figures in the DC Universe, but he was more of an observer now. He showed up to watch important things happen, pretty rarely intervening, often being taken out of action when he should have been intervening (such as Day of Vengeance).
This continued essentially till Flashpoint, which gave a slight redesign; rather than an amulet and cloak clasps, Stranger now sported a necklace of silver coins and was very clearly presented as being the biblical Judas. He was to walk the Earth, fulfilling the actions desired by the Presence whi

Dragonlance authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have confirmed their new novel in the setting, their first addition to the saga for thirteen years, will be published on 9 August 2022. Dragons of Deceit is the first volume of the Dragonlance Destinies Trilogy and the first Dragonlance novel of any kind since The Fate of Thorbardin by Douglas Niles in 2010.
Dragonlance is a setting for the Dungeons & Dragons table top roleplaying game. The setting was originally launched in 1984 with a series of D&D adventures and the first Dragonlance novel, Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Unlike other D&D settings such as Greyhawk and the later Forgotten Realms, which were both designed around giving the players a world to have many adventures in, Dragonlance focused on a single huge saga. It was effectively D&D's take on The Lord of the Rings, chronicling the adventures of a band of disparate heroes in their efforts to defeat the dark goddess Takhisis. The Dragonlance Chronicles and Dragonlances Legends trilogies sold more than four million copies before the decade was done, making them among the biggest-selling epic fantasy novels of that decade.
The Dragonlance setting was fleshed out by many other authors and game designers, eventually encompassing 203 novels and dozens of game supplements. Weis & Hickman's novels in the setting eventually sold almost 35 million copies. Although the novels continued to sell very well, the game materials were more inconsistent in sales and drifted in and out of print. In 2003 Wizards of the Coast licensed the RPG setting to Margaret Weis's own RPG company, Sovereign Press, and Weis created a version of the setting compatible with D&D 3rd Edition that sold well for many years. In 2008, after the release of the divisive D&D 4th Edition, WotC terminated its contract with Sovereign and brought the game materials back in-house, but surprisingly decided to sit on them rather than use them for anything. There has been no official Dragonlance material released since the last novel in 2010. In fact, the only D&D-branded fiction released since 2018 has been a series of Drizzt Do'Urden novels by R.A. Salvatore and nothing else, leaving an immense amount of money on the table given the massive p

Hello all! We wish you good tidings, happy holidays, and a relaxing time for all. Thank you so much for your support through this last calendar year, it means so much to us all.
In 2021, we saw many notable events. This year saw the dramatic union of Barry Allen and Patty Spivot in The Flash, the slow assembly of the forces of evil in Justice Legion, the debut of the New Teen Titans, and the climactic finales to Coastguard, Night Force: Major Arcana and Starman.
Our March event - Beyond - and its many tie-ins saw the formation of a new group of time-travelling Legends assemble, introducing the likes of Terry McGinnis and Mari Grayson to our continuity.
In the 4-book crossover Kingside, former Robin Tim Drake donned the new moniker of Rook and fought alongside a myriad heroes to foil an international conspiracy. Then, after facing off against the frightening Justice Lords, a dark mirror of the fallen Justice League from across the multiverse, our heroes saw great highs, between Artemis' confrontation with the frightening new Cheetah in Wonder Women, John Constantine grappling with his demons in Hellblazer, and Traci Thirteen assembling a new magical fighting force in Shadowpact.
This year also saw the expansion of our Bat-Family line, with the debut of Stephanie Brown alongside Dick Grayson in Batman & Robin, Jason Todd going his own way and making new friends in Red Hood and the Outlaws, new heroes from humble beginnings in Bluebird and the Signal, culminating in the chaotic reunion of the family in our 6-book mega-crossover City of Shadows and the emergence of a new Batgirl in I Am Batgirl. Even elsewhere in the world, the Batman bug spreads as the Justice League of China form with a Super-Man, Wonder-Woman, and Bat-Man of their own.
In 2021, we've started a whopping 12 new ongoing series, with our c

My picks:
Fun/Spooky Halloween movie: Deadman has such a fun personality that could sparkle in this kind of movie. Maybe have him team up with the likes of either Zatanna or Traci Thirteen to have someone to bounce off for the movie
Genuinely Terrifying Horror Film: Ragman’s power set just sounds terrifying that he would make for a great horror movie. (For those not in the know, his cloak has hundreds of souls of evildoers that Ragman has punished and absorbed. Just the visual/audio of millions of voices moaning into the void would be bone-chilling)

gaymike219905 says: "I have a soft spot for season 9 of RHOC for some reason, it's probably my most watched season. Shannon and Lizzie truly breathed new life into the franchise, without altering it to the point where it felt like a different show (see: RHOC15). Arguably, this is Tamra's worst season from a producer mastermind perspective. She clearly goes into the season aiming for a Heather takedown, because she knows her job and that it's inevitable. Uncharacteristiaclly, and due to Heather stubbornly refusing to let it happen, Tamra gets cold feet and has to change gears mid season. She fumbles a lot, and gets caught in multiple lies and/or talking behind peoples backs until by the end of the season, the guns are all pointing at her. But our girl is a fighter, and the way she handled it and then went into the reunion unapologetically (THATS MY OPINION), solidified her position as top tier housewife. This season is also notable for Vicki being able to take a backseat and come off as the good guy, a nice reprieve for her before she gets nailed to the cross for the next 5 seasons. Heather's mask finally slips as she battles with beloved newbie Shannon (YOU WILL ALL SEE THE TRUTH) and shows just how pretentious and obnoxious she can be. I go back and forth on Heather, but I'll always be indebted to her for kicking Shannon out of her house with an icy cold "We're doone....please leave." That scene is one of my most beloved and Heather plays the villain perfectly (and upon rewatch, I'm actually on her side!). Other notables: Lizzie definitely said she wanted to EFF Eddie, Tamra running away from everyone, The Email, the fight at Javiers over a CHAIR, and the ghost of Danielle hovering around each episode clinging to relevancy."
MagnificentMistral says: "this is a tale of a battle between good and evil. our fearless heroine, shannon beador, debuts and is immediately plagued by the evil witches tamra judge and heather dubrow. systematic bullying and gaslighting take place. our heroine’s only allies are vicki gunvalson and… uh… was anyone else there? A great watch."

This year, I'm doing a themed bingo square with trans or nonbinary characters in every book. As such, I've spent a lot of time (too much time) compiling books that fit for each square. I had originally intended to post this list after finishing my board with a write-up, but seeing as we are past halfway through the bingo year and I'm on track to finish pretty late, I’ve decided to put this up early so it can hopefully actually be helpful for people still looking to fill their boards.
Books are listed under each category they fit, but I didn’t always check for some of the harder ones (eg. first person, forest setting) if they fit something obvious (eg. published in 2021, cat squasher). Books are sourced from the recommendations thread, the focus thread, the queersff database, readsrainbow, various Goodreads lists, and various threads in other subreddits. Also, disclaimer, I haven't read all these, so categorizations may be inaccurate. Please let me know if you notice that this is the case, or if there are any books I should add or remove!
Without further ado, here's my list of 250+ books that qualify for the trans/NB character square plus at least one other square:

... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Respect Zachary Zatara
Info: Zachary Zatara is the cousin of Zatanna Zatara. He is a magician trained in the arts of Backwards Magic, which works by speaking your desires backwards, and turning them into reality. In the Post-Flashpoint era, he joins Raven, Traci Thirteen and the others to fight Shadows. All these feats come from Raven: Daughter of Darkness, so the number you see beside the feat is the issue number from that comic.
His magic works by changing the laws of nature^(Detective Comics #960)
Power
- Causes the ceiling to collapse to create a wall, which harms Shadows^(11)
- Shadows can smack away Traci Thirteen^(11)
- Along with other magic users, holds back bloodlusted Raven with energy. He also didn't have to speak backwards for this^(12)
- Shoots out fire from his hands, which doesn't really harm the Shadows^(8)
Durability
- Endures being in a place that causes you to feel extremely dizzy and sick, with his belief^(11)
- Creates a small barrier to protect himself from Skye's air manipulation^(12)
- Survives an attack from a shadow^(12)

Welcome to my latest post. I’ve been reading through the research on stuttering for almost a year now, and there’s a lot to be learned from it. It’s my goal to help the stuttering community by sharing it.
I use "near-fluency" in this title, because successful management is characterized by significantly-improved fluency. But it is not a complete cessation of stuttering. It is not a "cure." Fluency and speech naturalness are significantly improved, but it still requires effort and attention. There is only one study that I've found that shows evidence of adults (ages 16-22) making a full recovery from stuttering. (Like the way that children recover from stuttering.)
Feel free to skip to the "Sucessful Management" header if you want to get right to the research. If you're interested in learning more about the neuroscience behind all of this, check out some of my earlier posts.
If you're curious and would like to read more about successful management, I'd highly recommend reading these studies by Laura Plexico. (The top three results; click on the [PDF] on the right side to view the full papers.) This study by Andersen & Felsenfeld is also great, but the full version is behind a paywall.

There's a fantastic burrito shop in downtown Boston, run by a mother-daughter team. They are famous for their homemade molé sauce and spicy black salsa. They're also incredibly kind people; the mother of the pair affectionately refers to each customer as "my dear."
I first discovered this restaurant when I landed a software job at a nearby tech start-up. Every Wednesday, the company would buy lunch for the software team, and it was up to the six of us to decide where to go. After my first molé burrito, my vote always went to Villa Mexico.
Villa Mexico didn't use the online ordering apps, though, so whenever we chose it for lunch, someone from the team would have to call in the order. Our team lead would always ask "Alright, who wants to make the call?" and, like

Hello NBA 2K community! I am Jonathan Smith, producer at Visual Concepts, and it’s time to get you filled in on everything going into NBA 2K22’s MyTEAM! Whether you are a seasoned veteran in MyTEAM or someone looking to build their first dream team, there is something for every NBA 2K player in MyTEAM!
In a nutshell, there are many different foundational changes in MyTEAM this year that I personally cannot wait for you to experience. Card collectors, online competitors, casual NBA fans, everyone has a place in MyTEAM and we are just a few short days away from getting this amazing mode into your hands.
MyTEAM: DRAFT
In case you missed the first announcements, MyTEAM: Draft is a new multiplayer mode where you pick a full lineup of Player Cards which will include the latest cards in MyTEAM. When starting a new Draft you will be presented with seven packs to choose your 13 players and coach. You will pick up two players from each of the position packs, but where the Draft will shine is with that first pack on the left. That is the Featured Pack.
What is the Featured Pack? This is where the latest releases in MyTEAM will show up for you to draft and compete with. Unlike the other packs, this Featured Pack will only contain three cards which are added to your drafted lineup. You can likely count on these players being the best players in your lineup to lead your drafted team to victory! Look for the Featured Pack to be updated with the latest player cards released in MyTEAM each Friday. The positional packs will also be updated as well, but don’t count on the previous Featured Pack players showing up in there immediately after cycling through.
But what are you competing for in MyTEAM: Draft? Every Draft will net you a guaranteed League Pack and at least a single pick on a Draft-exclusive Ascension; full of prizes to add to your permanent collection! For every win you get in your drafted lineup’s limited run, you will earn additional Ascension picks. With the high-stakes of a Draft run, you can expect some great rewards in this Ascension, including an exclusive Grand Prize Player each Season. And for Season 1: Call to Ball, that player is Pink Diamond Glenn Robinson
