Prompt Post - Part Ten

[yj_anon]

I am REALLY, REALLY SORRY about taking so long, guys, and about not being around much recently. I've been busier than I have in a while, and it just kept slipping my mind between uni applications and volunteering and all sorts- for some reason I thought we were much further off a new post.

If there is anything I haven't responded to, as of now, I'm

I laughed at Damian being possessive of Wally; he's his red-head until Colin comes along~ And when Wally took out the small chemistry set and book I thought, "DEARGAWD WHAT ARE YOU DOING ARE YOU TRYING TO TURN HIM INTO A SPEEDSTER" followed by "... Jason's gonna be the explosives expert in the family~" when Jaybird set off 3 alarms~

Also, Cass. I saw a comic page a few days ago where her father trained her not to react when she was shot and I just-- my heart goes out to her so much. It went out to her in her section, too, because lol English :T. Oh! I searched the book that you suggested to Truth; it sounds amazing and awe-worthy. We're so used to having labels and names for almost everything, and for a person to not know a single word/name? It's difficult to get my mind around that O_O.

'She nods, a quick smile blooming on her face at being understood, and presses his hands together, pushing them towards him with hope. “More?”' -- "Cassandra watches, entranced, as Wally talks in a way that she can see." -- "Soon Cass even begins to go to a class where she learns sign language with other children. It’s amazing." CASS MAY I HUG YOU?

Steph is a saviour~ She's all "RAWR.NOPE.DENIED, YOU OLD HAG", and it makes me want to shower her with chocolate XD

I'm excited to see what Tim's would be~ And Terry, too, even though he's still a newborn? 8D

I thought to myself - what is the way to Jason's heart? And the answer was most obviously explosives XD

It's an amazing read. I spent a day in a used book store reading half of it before I had to go, and I still wish that I would have spent the money I didn't have to get it. It makes you realize the kinds of attachments that we place on everyday little words, these extra things that they pick up in the course of living. And there's this sort of paradox invoked every time you really get close to seeing what it had to be like for him to languageless, because there really are no words to describe it. It touches on just how fundamentally different the brain works because we have words compared to someone who doesn't.

Basically if you ever have a chance to I'd recommend getting it XD

Tim's up in the next part, although I don't know that I did him as much justice as I have the others, and Terry, at least for the time being, is sort of interspersed around here and there instead of there being any one moment/thing.
