Do you have any tips for how to slow down time in a story?
To slow down time in your story you need to use a mix of different writing ingredients: you need different descriptions that capture the reader in the moment as well as internal monologue and different sentence structures.
Sensory Details: Use the five senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch to describe what the character is seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting in intricate detail.
Detailed Observations: Zoom in on small, often overlooked details. The sound a tea cup makes as it hits the ground, the way an expression on a character's face changes, the turning of heads as someone enters the room.
Slow Motion: Manipulate the time by describing how it feels like slow motion to the characters: "Time slowed down, and it felt as if the whole of humanity had decided to stop breathing for a moment."
Physical Reactions: A detailed description of the physical aspects of a scene. The movements a character makes, how their gaze turns, their breathing changes, their body begins to shake.
Psychological Aspects: Focus on the anxiety of a character looking at a clock that never seems to move, their nervousness seeping out of them
Memories and Flashbacks: Add context by showing memories or flashbacks that relate to the situation.
Pondering: Let the character reflect on the situation, their feelings and their plan for the next steps. Let the reader explore the character's inner life.
Reduced Dialogue: Dialogue brings a scene into real time. Use it thoughtfully and sparringly, with lots of inner thoughts and reactions in between.
Silence: Make use of silence between the characters which can be filled with more descriptions.
Smaller Steps: Write out each action taken, no matter how small, and focus on describing each step that happens.
Control Pacing: Use your sentence structure to create long descriptions that slow it down, and short, impactful ones to pick up the pace if needed for a moment.

NSFW alphabet for Dick Greyson and Jason Todd?
Dick Grayson and Jason Todd nsfw alphabets
Ayy sorry ive been dead for a week. Heres some dudes, enjoy.
Nsfw under the cut
Dick Grayson
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
Dick is an octopus afterwards. He is extremely cuddly, if hes topped or bottomed doesn’t matter, he wants to hold you or be held but you. Expect many kisses and sweet words from both sides.
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Dicks favourite body part on himself is his ass or his arms. On his partner is your ass too, and your chest. Doesn’t matter what kind of chest you have, he loves it.
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)
Dick always wants you to finish inside of him, he especially loves to be plugged up after or for you to eat it out of him after. If it isn’t inside of him, he wants it rubbed all over his ass or torso.
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He’s had sex in the batcave, the titans tower and the league tower. He also uses his nightwing gadgets to do it. He likes to be spat on, specially when you hold his mouth open and spit into it.
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
I think Dick has an alright amount of experience, but he hasn’t explored an insane amount of kinks or anything that can be dubbed as unusual. Hes tried stuff like toys, choking and blindfolds, but theres still many things he doesn’t tried.
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)
The one where he’s lying on his stomach, and you are over his back or Breeding press. On you its where you are laying on your sides, and he’s behind you with your leg lifted. (I don’t know the names of any position)
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
Dick can make a couple of jokes or over the top flirty remarks, which makes you both snicker, but its not as much as for example Hal.
H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
I think he shaves most of his body, tho he might leave a bit of fuzz near his pubes and crack. I think the nightwing suit feels more comfortable without too much hair.
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)
Dick is very romantic, he especially loves kissing and saying the sappiest things when he’s feeling very romantic. It of course depends on what your doing, but he will always kiss you and tell you how much he loves you.
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
He doesn’t jack off as much as he did in the past. When he was younger it was almost every day, but now its maybe a few times a week, since he can have most of his needs met by you.
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
Bondage/shibari
Dom/Sub
Gagging
Marking (hickeys, cum, spit)
Edging and ruined orgasm
Roleplay (hero/villain. Rivals. Gym intructor/Gym goer, etc)
Prostate massage/torture
Rimming (receiving and giving)
Is slow and loving sex a kink? The kind that lasts hours, and is mostly spent in each other’s arms and kissing and whispering loving things.
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)
His favourite place is at your shared apartment, as that’s where he feels safest. In his room at the Wayne manor.
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
Like all heroes, I think adrenaline gets him going to some extent. When you grab his thighs or ass, or massage his shoulders after a mission. When you order him around.
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Would never in his days do non-con rp, the very thought makes him anxious and panicky. Wouldn’t do it in a too public place. Doesn’t like to insult you whilst doing it, tho he doesn’t mind being insulted himself.
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
Dick doesn’t have a preference, he both likes to give and receive. He has some experience, but he still gags and coughs, make sure to praise him during.
P = Pace (Are they fats and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
Dick prefers to take his time, especially if he’s the one in charge. At times he wants you to be rough and fast with him though.
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
Dick likes quickies, sure, but they aren’t his favourite. Its mainly if your both heroes and during breaks in missions, or if you both are busy and don’t have time to draw it out.
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
Depending on what it is, Dick can be risky. Though he wouldn’t be risky about the situation you do it, he might give some kinks a try to figure out if he likes it.
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)
As he’s a hero, he has an alright stamina. Though it is nowhere near the lengths of Hal, Clark or Bruce. Depending on the day, you might be tired out before him, depends on if you’re a hero as well.
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
Dick owns some toys, mainly dildos, plugs and toys for when you are rougher with him. Mainly rope and a paddle and alike. When he’s alone he likes to use toys, but its not something he absolutely needs when you do it.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Dick doesn’t tease a whole lot on the average day. Though there will be days he is super teasing, especially when he wants you to punish him or get you riled up to dom you.
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
He isn’t extremely loud, though he can moan loudly if you hit just right, he whimpers and whines a lot though.
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
Dick likes to cook, especially romani dishes. If you are interested in learning or tasting, he will be super excited. He likes when you run your hands through his hair. He calls you Romani pet names sometimes
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
Above average in length, but is normal thickness. It isn’t over the top in size, but you notice. Has a visible vein on the underside that makes him buck and moan when you tongue it. Cut.
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
His sex drive isn’t as high as it used to be. The last couple of years its winded down little by little. He can go a couple of weeks without if he absolutely has too, but then he is on you like a starved animal when he can.
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
It takes Dick some time to fall asleep after, especially if was rough. Then he needs to be comforted and given good aftercare. When he’s dommed he waits for you to fall asleep first.
Jason Todd
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
During aftercare Jason will clean you both up, if he was the one in charge. If it was you he lets you clean him up and wants to cuddle.
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
His favourite part about himself is his thighs, and after many compliments from you, his eyes. He loves your eyes and your hands.
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)
Loves when you cum on his face or chest. Will stick his tongue out and let you finish all over it. Loves when you swallow.
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Has dubcon roleplay fantasies. Definitely fantasies about using guns and knives during.
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
Doesn’t have an insane amount of experience, that’s what happens when you die as a teen and come back as a rage filled zombie.
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)
Against a wall, whether it be his chest or back against said wall. This also goes both ways, he loves you up against a wall too. Missionary or Doggy too.
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
He isn’t super goofy during, he might make a comment here or there.
H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
Minimal grooming. Shaves his body hair just enough that it isn’t a bother and leaves it at that.
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)
He is somewhat romantic. He likes to kiss and caress your cheek and jaw. He loves when you tell you loving things during.
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
Masturbates every other day. It tends to be quickies during patrol or when your asleep.
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
Roleplay (Hero/Villain, Cop/Criminal, Teacher/Student (in the vigilante sense))
Blood or bruises (mainly the ones he or you get during patrol, though he isn’t against giving or getting them from each other either.)
Choking
Marking (hickeys, cuts, spitting, cum, maybe even tattoos)
Dom/Sub
Knife and gunplay (he isn’t as verbal about it though)
Sensory deprivation
Pet play (though, he is shy about it)
Muscle worship.
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)
In semi-public areas (alleyways, bathrooms, etc). In his safehouses.
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
Like all heroes, adrenaline of the fight gets him going. When you spar together. When you grab his waist or fondle his chest or ass. Seeing you shirtless or scuffed up from patrol, or when you have to patch each other up.
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Threesomes, he doesn’t like sharing you or being that vulnerable. Use a belt, as it reminds him of his childhood.
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
Prefers receiving, tho he isn’t against giving. Is sloppy and messy when he gives, though he has little gag reflex. Tends to stick his tongue out and let your cum drip.
P = Pace (Are they fats and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
Depending on what your doing, it tends to be somewhere between slow and fast. Though it tends to be rough, no matter the pace. Of course, there’s still times where its slow and loving.
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
Jason likes quickies, especially when you pull him aside during patrols or in breaks during missions to get him off and leave him for the rest of the trip on his stained underwear and a wet hole.
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
He’s fine with risks, be it kinks or places to do it. As long as its not a place where kids and alike could find you by accident.
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)
After the Lazarus pit his stamina has shot through the roof, so he lasts for quite a long time. That’s why its effective to wind him up over most the day or couple of days.
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
He doesn’t own a lot of toys, its mainly things like paddles and plugs, though he owns a dildo or two.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Jason doesn’t do a whole lot of teasing, its mainly you that do it. He mostly does it during sparing, but grinding against you or grabbing and pulling in certain areas.
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
Jason isn’t very loud, he tends to clench his teeth. He pants, groans and grunts mostly. He only moans semi-loud when he’s extremely wound up.
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
Is the best cook from the batkids, much to Alfred’s enjoyment. Likes to watch cartoons or kids’ movies as he didn’t get to do it when he was younger. Collects hero merch, though he did it a lot more as a kid and young teen.
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
Bigger than average, and thicker. The kind of size you need to prep for, and you could wrap both your hands around. Visible veins. The size isn’t obvious when out and about, as he tends to wear a cup. Uncut.
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
Doesn’t have an insane high sex drive. Could go a week or two without, but then he would be desperate, this is the best time to really draw it out with teasing.
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
It takes a good while for him to fall asleep after if you haven’t completely exhausted him, which is kinda difficult. He likes to cuddle and watch trashy reality tv after, or read a book.

Hello 👋
Hello, I am Maysa Al-Dahdouh from Gaza. My family and I face death, hunger, and diseases daily. We are a Palestinian family in need of help from anyone with a living conscience, a compassionate heart, and an understanding of humanity.
I am reaching out to you today, standing firm against incredible challenges. Life in our area has become increasingly difficult due to the ongoing and escalating conflict, and I struggle to secure the basic necessities for myself and my family.
I am married to Hussam Al-Dahdouh, and I am 38 years old. I have five children: Jamal, 16 years old; Muhammad, 14 years old, who suffers from a chronic illness known as Mediterranean fever and must take lifelong medication; Layan years old; Amir, 8 years old;
We have faced death dozens of times. Our home was completely damaged and burned down, making it uninhabitable. We have been displaced more than 20 times and have miraculously survived certain death. We have lost over 100 relatives, neighbors, and loved ones. The area I live in is subjected to rockets, shelling, and gunfire every day. We struggle to find healthy food, clean drinking water, and medication for my son Muhammad. My children can no longer return to school.
Therefore, my family and I have decided to leave Gaza to protect our children from death, hunger, and diseases due to the war, lack of
food and medicine, water pollution, and
How you can help us
• By making a financial donation, even if it's small.
• By sharing our story on social media.
• By offering words of support and encouragement.
• Our departure from Gaza and seeking refuge in a country that respects human rights, such as Canada, Belgium, or Sweden. The cost of leaving is high, as each family member needs $5,000 to leave. Since we will be starting our lives anew outside Gaza, we will also need housing, appliances, cooking utensils, education expenses, medication, and health and psychological rehabilitation.
No donation is too small; every contribution brings us one step closer to relief and a better future. Even if you cannot contribute financially, sharing this campaign with your generous network can make a significant difference.
Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for your kind generosity. You can help us overcome these difficult times.
EDIT: I've now made a post that you can read here with more information about the ICJ rulings, their powers and what we can do with this ruling here. I had to this morning and will continue to delete, report, and block all comments/asks that are anti-Arab, zionist, Islamophobic, racist, and/or antisemitic.
We already knew this but the ICJ has now ruled that Israel's continued occupation of Palestine is illegal and needs to end ASAP.
They found that Israel's occupation does not give it the right of sovereignty over the West Bank and Gaza and that it is not a temporary occupation but is an illegal, permanent and discriminatory annexation. The ICJ also found violence against Palestinians, Israeli exploitation of Palestinian natural resources, transfer of civilian population (settlers and companies/organisations), extension of Israeli laws to replace local Palestinian laws, forced displacement of Palestinians, confiscation of Palestinian land, annexation. That Israel's 'security concerns' are not valid justifications for any of these measures.
The ICJ has ordered Israel to end its presence in the West Bank and Gaza immediately and to cease all new settlement activity, return all lands and assets to Palestinians that they've ceased since 1967 and that includes archives and items of cultural significance, evacuate all of their settlers from the settlements, pay compensation, and repeal all laws that maintain this occupation and discrimination. The ICJ is not legally-binding but does carry significant political weight and this ruling is important for continuing to advocate for Palestine and to put pressure on our government's to do the right thing and for them to put pressure on Israel. Keep contacting your representatives!
Good morning. This might be my last message from the city of Rafah. The occupation [Israel] is carrying out crazy fire. Violent belts. As you’re hearing, there are helicopters. Planes and gunfire from the vehicles. There’s a complete invasion of the city.
We don’t know what is going on in Rafah. The place that the occupation [Israel] claimed to be safe. This is happening all of a sudden; the people didn’t go out. They didn’t do anything. More than thirty targets were hit in just minutes. People were asleep. We woke up to the bombing, to the shooting from the helicopters. It was horrifying. Unacceptable. This might be my last message. Please relay it to the world.
— Hazem, journalist residing in Rafah; 02.11.2024
Rafah was Palestinians’ very last safe zone. There is quite literally nowhere else left to go. And now it’s being bombed with airstrike after airstrike.
"B-but Palestinians can get their freedom with peace not violence 🥺🥺" no. Screw your feelings. The armed resistance against colonizers and murderers is what will give Palestinians their freedom and what will eventually achieve real peace.
An enemy that bombs and uses white phosphorus against civilians doesn't know nor practice what your broken moral compass describes as "peace". Freedom was proven throughout history not to be achieved through kneeling and asking the oppressor to kindly stop. Freedom needs to be taken by force. Your little Utopian way of thinking doesn't work in the real world. Your feelings don't matter because you're not the one living under occupation. Your feelings don't matter because you're not one of the thousands of children who lost their limbs. You're not one of the children who became orphans due to this genocide. You're not the mother who lost her child to the carpet bombing. You're not the father carrying the remains of your child in plastic bags. You're not the newlywed woman who lost her husband. You're not the one at risk of either getting killed any second or losing your loved ones in the blink of an eye!
"Peace" is not really a thing you see during a live ethnic cleansing!
