#miscellaneous content that ghost found entertaining

I think I’m going to be moving accounts so that the @ghostinacardboardbox url will be my main blog. I didn’t really get how tumblr worked when I made this account and kind of set everything up in the messiest way possible. So to all my mutuals, perhaps follow me on the new blog when I get it set up?

This blog will still be here, I’m not going to delete it. But I won’t be posting or answering asks from here anymore.

It’s according to the Young Justice cartoon, I believe. In the comics they have a brotherly relationship. Also Kon is a little shit.

Wait, Superman doesn't want Kon???

According to the comics, I don't think so

Stepping outside the bit for a moment, it does make me genuinely sad that so many people don’t know about Cecil or Welcome to Night Vale, and not in a like nostalgia way, in a “dear god all of these queer teens are missing out on a core part of our media history and that’s awful” kind of way.

Like I am not lying, Welcome to Night Vale really was fucking groundbreaking queer representation that was, and still is, widely loved FOR A REASON!! If you legit have never heard of it, please give it a listen!! It’s a stellar, diverse podcast full of heartfelt moments and fantastic humor and good ol’ horror that’s made me cry and laugh and helped me get to sleep when I’ve been having horrible anxiety more times than I can count, and on top of that I will never be able to describe how, in 2012 when all of the big mlm ships on tumblr were us cringey little queer teens desperately praying for something deep down we really thought we’d never get, breathtakingly refreshing it was to listen to the FIRST EPISODE and hear Cecil openly admit to being in love with another man like it was the most normal thing in the entire world. It was everything, it really was.

Yeah, Cecil got sexy-maned all to hell and we can look back on that fondly and critically, but Welcome to Night Vale was to podcasts what Korrasami and the Ruby/Sapphire wedding were to cartoons and the absolutely dismissive tone a lot of people are using when talking about it breaks my heart. This isn’t just about remembering our sexyman roots, it’s about remembering and loving a revolutionary piece of queer media that was REALLY POPULAR like it was on fucking NPR, sold out shows, best selling books, the works!! Welcome to Night Vale changed the landscape of queer media, proved in it’s own corner that stuff with queer people in it COULD sell and find wide audiences! Like this was coming out back when fucking Glee was the standard for gay rep, I’m not kidding, Night Vale was everything.

It was, and is, loved for a reason. Cecil is winning on tumblr FOR A REASON. You deserve to find out why.

(And also just like, most Reigen fans on this website HC Reigen as queer and ship him with Serizawa and so, y’all please, trust me, if you love serirei then boy do I have a fantastic queer couple for you. You want silly himbo paranormal husband shenanigans? I can give them to you. Pls come with me. You’ll like this, I promise.)

#i only listened to wtnv for about a year and a half or so and never got completely got up #and lost steam a few years ago #but i might get back into it because of Cecil winning the sexyman polls. he deserves this. #wtnv #welcome to nightvale #cecil palmer #wtnv cecil #fiction podcast #podcasts #audio drama

“Willow is the Evelyn to Hunter’s Caleb!”

“Luz is the Evelyn to Hunter’s Caleb!”

y’all constantly be missing the key part of this which is that Hunter is not Caleb in anyone’s eyes but Belos, and we already know who Belos considered to be the Evelyn in this scenario.

it’s Flapjack. 

That’s it that’s your answer everyone pack it up and go home.

I think that IF Mako Mermaids had a consistent lore, this would imply that each specific pod has a different power set and that each moonpool corresponds with the powers of each pod. But we know that this isn’t the case because we do meet characters from different pods and their powers are the same.

The actual meta reason was obviously just the writers needing to give Bella a power and not wanting to give her ice so she wasn’t so blatantly Emma’s replacement but in canon it implies that either Bella is just the Most Special Snowflake who gets a unique power that no one else has OR Irish mermaids specifically are just Really Weird in comparison to everyone else.

if mako mermaids didn’t exist, i genuinely wonder what the canon was supposed to be for jumping into the moon pool alone. because charlotte jumped in the mako moon pool alone and got three powers (much like how it works in mako mermaids) but bella jumped into the irish moon pool and only got two (substanciakinesis and gelidkinesis). it’s so confusing to me. especially because bella’s powers are very underwhelming compared to what you get when you jump in alone at mako.

Something something Bella having to try to fit into a world where no one else is like her and the jelly represents her having to fit any environment but it’s not as fluid as Cleo’s ability because it’s something Bella had to learn rather than a part of who she is

Something something her ability to solidify liquids is representative of her finding her place in the world with other people like her so she’s allowed to take up space instead of being forced to fit other people’s ideals

it would’ve been fun if bella didn’t discover her power till she met rikki and cleo like the implication being that she had to find other mermaids with whom she belonged in order to uncover her true potential or what have you. imagine cleo is like ‘hey bella what’s your power’ and bella is like 'wdym’ and rikki is like 'you know your power *heats up water with hands*’ and bella is like 'huh i don’t think i have one’ then decides to aim her hands at the same glass of water and it immediately solidifies or turns to jelly or just. explodes. i think that would have been neat

#does this make any sense #i don’t think so but anyway #i stand by the fact that the lore says Bella should have all three powers like Charlotte did #because It’s clear that the trio split the powers along them and Charlotte got all of them because she was alone #and Bella was alone so she should have all three but the writers wouldn’t make her so op like that #bella hartley #h2o bella #h2o rikki #h2o emma #h2o cleo #cleo sertori #rikki chadwick #emma gilbert #h2o #h2o just add water #mermaids

I'm reposting this link, because reblogs don't show up in tags, and Tal only tagged it as "Rusty Quill", but not any of the podcasts.

Wait. Personality test. Reblog with whether you hate it when someone sings along to the music in the car or you think singing along is cool. Personally, I HATE it.

#It’s cool if I’m singing too or if they’re really good #otherwise no #reblog game #reblog games
