#anyway that's enough speculating for me

[spacepopechilitheninth]

yeah this sums it up

#maybe it's just me but I always got the impression that the primary audience for bfu/watcher is middle schoolers-twenty somethings #I started watching bfu when I was like 12-13ish? so did a lot of my friends #now I'm about to be a twenty-something and I'm a jobless student who still lives at home 😭 #as a dependent I wouldn't have asked my parents for this either cause they're frugal (and most people are in this economy now...) #so I wonder how this'll effect the audience demographics. #I also feel like watcher itself isn't enough to warrant a whole streaming service for 5.99 a month #are there really so many diehard watcher fans that watch most/every single show? cause like I love the boys but #I've only seen two maybe three of their shows and I wouldn't consider my attachment to at least 2 of them enough to justify that kinda #purchase. anyway this is just me speculating! like I said this won't have a huge bearing on my life it's just kinda disappointing

it's the callum-jailer, ezran-orphan queen, rayla-aaravos / callum-aaravos, rayla-elarion, ezran-leola parallels for me

#IM MANIFESTING IT #mirrored trio theory #s6 speculation #predictions #mine #i just think it would be NEAT #brotp: we're in this together #tdp #the dragon prince #like the jailer-callum ezran-orphan queen is there #we'll have to see whether the aaravos-rayla parallels continue enough #and we don't know ANYTHING about aaravos' past but like #idk you get estranged from ur sibling (leola) bc u want the same thing but disagree on how to get there #and try to not lose your lover (elarion) and lose them anyway #and it sends you off the fucking rails #it'd be a sweet little treat For Me if i do say so myself

A low-speed train on Enith. Enith has a pretty extensive train network, both above and below ground. Granted, the above ground trains tend to be partially submerged anyways.

There are also high-speed trains used in specific situations on Enith, but they’re more often than not limited to a handful of jobs and functions, such as emergency medical and fire management services.

Sadly a human person would only barely fit in one of these. Both species of Corldaxians from Enith are. Short. The tallest one is like five foot which does not translate well to humans having comfortable beds.

#THE FUCKING TRAINS GOT ME #NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo o o o #anyways there’s also another (above ground elevated) type of train made for Kielni and Taysya #which specifically is made for and runs slow enough that it can be boarded while flying. #little bird worldbuilding #my art #greetings from enith #worldbuilding #speculative biology #xenobiology #trying to figure out rooms and I got grabbed by the trains #why did I let this happen

OK so could someone please explain what the fuck is going on with Dottore's age to me?? Cause like in the Sumeru Archon quest he's referred to as that dude who got kicked out and became a Harbinger, implying that this was recent enough for people to remember him and his crimes against life itself or whatever.

But then in Scaramouche's backstory he was a fully grown adult 300 years ago?? And had enough bullshit going on to know what was happening in Tatarasuna and do his fun little murder spree???

And like yeah I know segments but they don't explain this cause they're clones of him at different ages it doesn't mean he can time travel.

So here's the only options I can think of:

1)He's like 400 but his dramatic murder-and-drop-out is legendary enough at the Akademiya that everyone still knows him by face (which doesn't really explain the Zandik notes but whatever)

2)He can fucking time travel now

Or 3) He's doing that Twilight thing where every few years he goes back to the Akademiya for shits and giggles, but the most recent visit is when he got kicked out

Personally I'm with option 3 but fuck if I can think of something that makes sense. Lore masters, pls assist.

#genshin impact #genshin impact fatui #dottore #il dottore #fatui harbingers #genshin lore #not gonna lie i saw him in Scaras backstory and went WHAT?!?!? cause i thought he was just a morally bankrupt uni dropout #but nah apparently he is some form of immortal?? #and just has that much swag??? #like sir pls pick a lane #and yeah i know the Zandik notes referring to the Doctor is just speculation but i think its pretty grounded #grounded enough to make me question the timeline anyway

hii omg hiii here's an ask: are there any sea monsters or sea creatures in general that you've made for promethea? and if not (or if theyre not the focus at all) can I know more about pegasi then? They've got some rly cool shapes and I'm interested if youve got more on them :3

HIII hi hello :33 i do actually have a few sea creatures! i answered another ask about it a little while ago:

BUT i have some more and i'll take any excuse to talk about my beasts. first off a bit of backstory tho:

cassandra had a fairly recent worldwide extinction event (around 12-15 kya) that was pretty devastating to the various biospheres and almost caused the extinction of the human race as a whole. there used to be a LOT more megafauna and a lot more ancient species that simply couldn't hold on through everything that happened. hence why the only hexapodal sea life are whales and probably a few small things digging around somewhere. ANYWAY.

whales! a few species of carnivorous whale that live around promethea, the most widespread being the striped whale and the dwarf whale. the striped whale lives in the northern ocean (off the coast of cadaver's domain) and hunts almost anything, including the coastal cliff dweller pegasi. dwarf whales are much smaller and hunt in pods, eating mostly fish. speaking of fish

most of them look about like this! these are just two examples, and i used to have more art of them but i can't for the life of me find it, so this is all i have for now LOL. they're technically more closely related to cassandra's arthropod equivalents, but theyre kind of all their own weird thing. i love them.

#just realized the arrow pointing to the fish on the right's mouth looks like its pointing to its feeler/tentacle. #which is not what i meant to do. but ok #THANK UUU FOR THE ASK BTW GOD IT FEELS LIKE ITS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I ACTUALLY MADE SOMETHING #my brain has been so stagnant. #ive been meaning to draw some fish anyway my beasts werent weird enough they needed to be a little weirder #their heads are just completely chitin but the rest of their body is pretty fleshy #my art #promethea #speculative biology #people talking to me #uhhh i think thats all the tags i need?

Listen, I’m a Destiny lore nerd. I’ve had a lot of ideas and theories about Lightfall. But none of them, absolutely stone-cold none of them, were “Independence Day takes Neo-Tokyo and we get to be Spider-Man.” Not if I guessed for a month would I have come up with that. I tuned in a few seconds after the trailer start and thought I was watching a Twitch ad. Bungie I congratulate you on a swerve so hard I barely even noticed the whiplash straight from “season of confronting deep trauma and repressed emotions” into “YO LET’S BE PIRATES”

To be clear, none of these are complaints. But my god. “Secret city on Neptune and we get magic grappling hooks” was not how I expected today to go.

p.s. FISH p.p.s. when will my boy come home to the war

While this is absolutely not the case and also really stupid, it would still be funny if, since we haven't actually heard Sir Pentious' voice yet, he wasn't actually being voiced by Alex Brightman and they were just having Brightman cover for the big surprise that Pentious is still being voiced by Stamper, with Stamper being the only pilot VA to return. Again, absolutely not the case, but man it would be so fuckin funny-

I'm so excited to see what Ncuti Gatwa I can do as the Doctor! So far everything he's been in for trailers and stuff has shown him as being pretty charismatic, which is nice of course, but I'm also really hoping that he can pull off the weird awkward dorkiness that is also critical to the Doctor's personality.

Like, Ncuti Gatwa as a person seems very cool, but I'm hoping he can be a little uncool too as the Doctor. It's important to me

#Doctor Who #Fifteenth Doctor #I am talking #I am just some guy (gender neutral) #this is so strange because we've had so much longer than normal to think about him in the role #also I saw someone say (maybe jokingly I guess? but I'm autistic so it's sticking with me anyway) #that because of how revealing his outfit is and the line with David Tennant and Isaac Newton that they're going to have like. #gay sex scenes in his season? and I cannot stress this enough how much I do not want there to be any sex scenes in doctor who #and I cannot possibly stress how much I do not want there to be any sex scenes in Doctor Who. regardless of the genders involved #my logical brain knows that is incredibly unlikely because Doctor Who is so established as a family show #but like. please do not force my sex-repulsed self to watch sex scenes in order to engage with my special interest. please #anyway that's not strictly relevant to Ncuti himself #but people are speculating about him in kind of weird ways based on as far as I can tell nothing more than a v-neck shirt

[schnuckiputz]

saw a few posts about feral!steve and i had thoughts.

steve teaches himself a lot of things. he teaches himself how to care for his car. teaches himself how to cook, how to be alone for weeks/months at a time without going insane. and most of all, he teaches himself how to care about other people.

he went to the richard harrington school of "people are only worth what they can give you in regards to money, status and power (even if you're talking about your own wife and child)". so, empathy? sympathy? not exactly on the curriculum. the first question is never "how can i help? what can i give?" but "how can i use this? what can i take?". if the answer to those questions is "nothing" than that person is nothing to him, too. no reason to spare them another moment or thought.

and for the first 16 or so years of his life, this works pretty well for him. tommy and carol both basically went to the same school - just with different headmasters. so, when they meet at school they take one look at each other and just know. like attracts like.

but then he meets nancy wheeler and in those fateful days of autumn in 1983 he gets a crashcurse in "caring about more than yourself." they're pretty formative days.

after, he tries to live by nancy's example but it's not as easy as she makes it look. he starts people watching - trying to parse out what that whole empathy/sympathy thing is supposed to look like. he's always been pretty good at noticing things, at analysing wants and needs. but comprehending what other people are feeling? and reacting accordingly? that's another beast entirely. so it's no wonder really that his relationship with nancy explodes spectacullarly.

it takes him months and years to teach himself how to listen to his fathers voice inside his head and then do the exact opposite. but still, his capacity to care is mostly restricted to the people he considers his (and to some extent the people his people love).

so he doesn't use the nailbat on max's brother and takes the beating intended for lucas. accepts that nancy is better off with jonathan and quiets the voice inside him, that wants retribution. takes the kids teasings without lashing out and learns how to appologise when his patience fails. learns how to be kind.

but he has no such kindness for those outside his circle. for russian guards and monsters and evil in human form.

in 1986, he (officially) meets eddie munson. someone that couldn't be more different from him than the sun to the moon. because eddie cares - he cares so much. maybe even too much. so he taught himself to be mean. to be loud and scary and unapproachable as a defense mechanism.

and steve looks at this boy that carries his heart on a leather clad sleeve and thinks "oh." because opposites attract. and maybe, sometimes, what a warm hearted boy that learned how to be cold needs is a cold hearted boy who learned how to be warm.

so, when some jock assholes thinks they can put his hands on eddie, steve lets coldness seep into his eyes, takes the nailbat from his trunk and shows them why they called him king once.

#stranger things #steve harrington #stranger things headcanons #steve harrington headcanon #am i projecting my own teenage years on steve harrington? #that's for me to know #and for you to speculate about #eddie munson #i always call steves father richard in my head because he's a dick #(maybe anyway) #there is not enough steve on jock violence in this world

Having lost my cat, my uncle, my great grandmother, my grandma's best friend (& one of the people who helped raise me), AND my dad all within the span of 9 months,

I have little sympathy for people who use deaths as an excuse to be an asshole. I get it, it sucks. Get the fuck over it. Your grief is not an excuse to treat others like shit. What the fuck.

#speculation nation #this isnt anything personal. im just reacting to a post that kind of pissed me off. #to be fair i was never close with my great grandmother so im not particularly broken up about that one #but it's still yet another death in the family within such a short period of time. #my cat is on this list bc he was the first one and it majorly fucked me up. so yeah it deserves to be here. #the others. well. my grandma's best friend makes me sad but at least she was getting up in years #my uncle and dad though. especially my dad. yea those have fucked me up the most. #im never gonna be the same after experiencing all of this in such short succession. #it sucks in a major way. and things are still continuously tumultuous. #but you dont see me lording it over people and using it as an excuse to be an asshole. #maybe i make people uncomfortable with how casually i mention it. but like whatever. it's simply my truth. #that's still just like. me just talking about what ive been up to. that kind of thing. #idk acting like someone needs to be treated with the most tender of touches after experiencing a major death #to the point where you cant even tell them when theyre being a manipulative little asshole? #i dont fucking think so! #yeah okay all grief hits different but ive pulled myself up by the bootstraps and kept my head on straight #even after i experienced death after death after death after death after Fucking Death #whats your excuse? youre Sad? we all fucking are. thats just life. #it's horrible and awful and it sucks that we have to live with this but you CANT let that affect how you treat other people!!!!! #and here i am making my own post venting about it instead of replying to the aita post that sparked this #bc the person the post was about just made me so angry to hear about. #but i am... a reasonable adult who separates themselves from situations before reacting in anger... #and so im making a tumblr post to get the emotions out instead of getting emotional at random strangers lol #anyways i actually had a pretty good day today. but in the way of grief. the smallest things can trigger moods sometimes. #but i am letting the emotions flow... here they are... i have expressed them... and i shall now release them... amen... #negative/ #i guess lol. i sure did rant enough for it.

the sword and shield part of the prophecy is soooo vague that i’ll rotate every possible theory inside my silly little head and then go “or it could be smth else”. absolute net zero conclusions reached but i had fun.

#like. i think hak being the sword is one of if not the most popular theories and i can see it bc well. look at the guy #but it’s the specifics of the wording that give me pause #‘WHEN the four dragons are gathered the sword and shield which will protect the king SHALL AWAKEN’ #when hak’s been there from the beginning + there’s also ik-su’s warning that hak will die if yona doesn’t find the dragons #which. there’s definitely ways to interpret him still being the sword (or shield!! that’d also be a neat twist) even with that in mind #but ngl i’m also a sucker for the idea that he’s just. there bc he loves yona. no connection to the prophecy whatsoever. #like both options make sense to me and i can see either one happening #anyway my personal favorite theory rn is that riri is the either the sword or the shield #not saying it’s the most probable option. just the most fun to meeee <3 #and ngl it only occurred to me during the latest chapter bc she’s clearly gonna play some kind of role #so it’s not like i have like a mountain of compelling evidence but i do have more than just. a feeling #like she has the sociopolitical standing and the ability (or at least pluckiness) to fill either role right? #and she was introduced and grew as a character only after all four dragons were gathered #which fits with some of the only things we know about the sword and the shield #do u see what i’m getting at?? am i making any sense at all?? #it could also ofc be a literal sword and shield which. tbh i think is the most likely but also less fun to speculate about #anyway i also think tae-jun will have a bigger role to play. either as a part of the prophecy or not #but also how might zeno’s recent actions impact the prophecy……. much to think about as always #but that’s enough theorizing for one day! time to grab my iced coffee from the fridge and work on my silly little fic <3 #akayona

[leguin]

the totally nonexistent (on the screen) kendall/rava/stewy situation is so fascinating to me...stewy brings up rava in one of his first lines on the show just to be annoying and then offers kendall coke, rava brings up kendall's drug use multiple times as the main issue leading to their divorce, kendall uses his kids as an excuse to sneak out at night in s3 and go talk to stewy (insane scene)...that sign in the bar kendall and stewy go to that says something like my next husband will be normal. you get what i'm saying. there's not actually anything textually there, but logically there was something at one point. before anything happened.

#there's enough for me to speculate wildly anyway

HAJSKD I KNOW THAT IT WASNT THE INTENTION BUT I FIND IT SO FUNNY THAT NATALIA CAME BACK RIGHT AFTER BUCK HAD ANOTHER NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE

(I got carried away with my tags and described my dream buck arc in season 7 cos I just want this man to stop going through major traumas only for it to be never dealt with onscreen 🫡)

#I don’t hate Natalia but I do think that her obsession with death combined with Buck’s history is not healthy in the slightest #like I don’t know enough about her to hate her but the way she is written in some scenes comes off as insensitive even if it’s not malicious #anyways that was funny to me to realise #what if they actually make this part of s7 bucks arc because that boy still hasn’t had the breakdown + healing he is owed #like what if in s7 shit gets dark he’s struggling mentally but doing the clinging thing he does and maybe feels she’s losing interest #and then he finds himself entertaining the idea of or actually doing things that are risky #then recognising that he is falling back into unhealthy patterns we see this man actually deal with his traumas and break the constant cycle #let buck heal from the bajillion traumas he endured challenge 2024 #anti bucktalia #not particularly anti Natalia dollenyhmer tho #also yes I know I spelt her name wrong #evan buck buckley #evan buckley #911 #911onfox #911 abc #911 on abc #911 speculation #not really it’s just what I want to happen described in the tags 🫡 #911 s7 #911 s6 #911 s6 finale #my posts

[sparring-spirals]

My prediction is: BH wake up in a “safe” place (either the moon, somewhere else or where they woke up that morning), but both Orym and Fearne are still dead, even in the case that it was just a dream (not a fan of the dream theory either, but them being dead would make it less of a cop out). Imogen is also nowhere to be found for the time being.

Yeah, I think there's a few options here that preserve most of the party and still provide Consequences™. We'll see, i suppose. Imogen being contained™™™™ or isolated after the city-levelling is an idea I find enticing, but PROBABLY not within the main campaign? I'm on the fence about it as actual campaign plot, but I'll have a great time with any fics written about it, I'm sure.

#honestly i think my opinions are going to come down strongly based on execution. ill have my preferences but if its executed well enough #ill probably be able to overlook it. #anyway i mean this politely but this is how most of my speculation is going to go so sending me predictions might not #be too riveting.... #ALSO THATS THE LAST OF MY ASKS CURRENTLY SORRY TO FOLKS WHOSE DASHES GOT FLOODED #critical role #cr spoilers #c3e33 #spar speaks #ask away! #speculation

Having my cringe era NOW because Arin Gamegrumps is SO girl to me and I’m not afraid to say it

#to clarify this is cringe because you should never tell someone to come out. or speculate on their identity really #but I’m like. just come out already you deserve it #I’m not pushin any label in particular or nothin I just have my own trans radar and I swear to god it’s off the charts for arin gamegrumps #and by trans I don’t mean inherently binary or nonbinary I just mean That Persons Gender is Queer in Some Way I can Feel it #and by ‘it’ I mean I get this sort of second-hand longing from them that seems to be tied to gender in a notably queer way #anyway. I’m probably totally wrong. but. I HAD to say it #blithering on  #arin hanson #game grumps #okay so to go even further in my cringe unnecessary and invasive speculation: #I just can’t help but get the feeling that arin feels a special sort of connection to femininity and girlhood #but- based on my years and years and years of watching his content- I get the impression that he feels ‘too far gone’ if u know what I mean? #very much ‘I want to be a girl so bad but I could never pass’ type shit #and I just hope he knows- even if he really is a cis dude and I’m just trans and overstepping- that he’s girl as hell to me #in the most complimentary and respectful way possible #like even if he’s a dude he’s girl as hell to me and I think it’s cool as hell. and if he’s not a cis dude then well!!!! also very cool!!! #like. he’s. sigh #I just hope he knows he’s pretty and lovely and cool and gender is fake and he can do w/e he wants and people will be there to support him #anyway sorry I’ve rambled on enough #my trip to visit Gay City (Portland) is DOING things to me

These sobs really limited my tags?????

I have so many more thoughts this is so so much less than 1/2. Broski. Big dislike

#its ‘i watched a tv show and i need to talk about it in the tags of this site im not on anymore’ time #ty to the void for always accepting my thoughts <3 #so honestly its just me thinking about the andromeda tv show. i just finished it and it left me destitute bc i clung onto the first 2 season #s as a basis and had ten thousand questions i *assumed* would be resolved. spoiler alert: they were nto #not*. and the coda addition helps but like. not enough. it explains some of the #oh fyi if anyone is reading or cared there will be spoilers #anyways it explained some of them ex for the cosmic engine bit. seemed pretty relevant and then was never mentioned again #i also MUCH prefer that version of trance — i had speculation she was a sun avatar which i took as confirmation when i finally noticed her #tattoo when harper used it to remind himself he put that data in the sun etc etc but i much prefer the sun-as-consciousness-astral-poject- #ing-slash-dreamjng-itself-a-body / being a little devil. i think that feels much more true to what we got in worldbuilding early on and tbh #the bar is on the floor bc any explanation would be better than what we got. also im sorry but s5 i trusted SO hard that that whole virgil #vox bit in the finale was insulting. couldnt even tie up the loose end you invented at the last minute????? MY god. i understand getting you #r budget halved but like. broski. it would have been better to ignore it at that point imo. #anywhoodle. i also have just ISSUES w the lack of resolution & not doing justice to literally any character #listen. why would you sink SO much effort into tyr just to have honestly what i feel is a disrespectful end to that character. like #tyr required me to do a LOT of thinking bc i sympathized with his position in exile etc while thinking also bro thats real fucked up. bro #stop thats fuckinng e*genics again dude. tbh with the entire species (im not looking up how to spell that rn) bc like the foundation of #their entire race is e*ugenics. (sorry censoring bc im in the tags just venting about tv) which obviously is a terrible idea but i think the #so it was like i am fundamentally against the concept but in show universe theg obviously did it etc but for me provided such a huge like #context to the universe. i fundamentally am not on board with all the commonwealth stuff like yeah i get it the magog are bad and scary but #like the neitzcheans (sp??? idc) are also Right There bein scary. then theres the ‘enhanced’ debate re dylan beka etc that like. is the same #but ‘’different’’ i guess. 🙄 anyways that is just to point out like. the level of thinking this show put me through just to blindside me w/ #no resolution. i had SO much hope. tyr selling iut to the abyss is disrespectful to all of the established work the actor did for him and #to the character as well even if i think the ideology is icky. he was shown to be even less and less self-centric survival guy as it went on #and also tbh i didnt understand the him stealing his kids dna thing. i really thought that was gonna gi in a different less bs direction #okay also while im here can i just say. that tyr and dylan had THE most romantic tension to me. everyone else felt very friendshipy and i am #NOT one to usually fall into a ‘they obviously should be together’ pipeline that the writers dont make themselves. but the back and forth ( #and intense eye contact) had me sitting there like. it was made in 2000 i know they wont do it but for not doing it they sure did! not that #i think they’d make a good couple (they would not) but that there was definitely something there on the dl you know? something more than #‘mutual respect’ you feel? and tbh! they also ruined the tyr beka thing by making her the matriarch. big ew huge ick.
