In a group conversation, how close do they stand to others? Are they off to the side just listening and occasionally speaking or are they right next to people?

When standing, what do they do with their hands? Talk with their hands, cross their arms, put hands in pockets, prop up against the wall, etc

The sound of their footsteps

Nonverbal greetings: do they wave, nod, hug, glare, punch, high five, something else?

man i sure do love shows written by aaron ehasz about a pair of siblings and a kid from another culture travelling across the world to stop a war together

a show in which one sibling has powers, and learns / hopes to learn from the kid from another culture, who has distinctive tattoos

K: I told you, he’s the real thing Gran-Gran! I finally found a bender to teach me! […] At night, you can teach me whatever moves you learn from Master Pakku! 

A: Hey, you did the water whip! K: I couldn’t have done it without your help.

R: You do know what the six primal sources are, right? C: If I say yes, are you going to make me name them?

C: Am I supposed to feel flattered by this? R: You said Claudia called you a fool when you interrupted her lightning spell, but I’ll bet she was actually trying to say fulminus. It’s the draconic word for lightning!

And who in the first episode are immediately ship teased by the magical sibling’s brother

S: Get in, we’re going to save your boyfriend.

E: Is it because you’re with a girl?

oh, and the girl is older than the boy

This is glorious and even thought it doesn’t fit in the range of all the paranormal, I MUST share

It works like this: You tell Kitestring that you’re in a dangerous place or situation, and give it a time frame of when to check in on you. If you don’t reply back when it checks your status, it’ll alert your emergency contacts with a custom message you set up.

It doesn’t require you to touch anything (like bSafe) or shake your phone (like Nirbhaya) to send the distress signal. Kitestring is smarter, because it doesn’t need an action to alert people, it needs inaction.

i’ve been doing my homework on how to break into a writing career and honestly. there’s a Lot that i didn’t know about thats critical to a writing career in this day and age, and on the one hand, its understandable because we’re experiencing a massive cultural shift, but on the other hand, writers who do not have formal training in school or don’t have the connections to learn more via social osmosis end up extremely out of loop and working at a disadvantage.
