I've decided the only reason Lloyd, known descendant of dragons, didn't tell this to Egalt, who refuses to train non-dragons, is for the same reason he never mentioned he's the First Spinjitsu Master's grandson. It just never came up. Nobody asked him directly about it. And besides, he's only like, one-fourth dragon, so does it really count? He doesn't look like a dragon, and he has never in his life considered himself a dragon. Mentioning his ancestry to Egalt probably would've just made him look like some hotshot, or make him more annoyed. There's no need to bring up such a silly little fact. He's sure it won't be important later.

Anyway returning to Lore Stuff but: feels really likely The Crush was due to Ludinus's attempt to contact Ruidus in the late 500s, which is what led to the fall of Molaesmyr. I wonder if he even realized until centuries later, since I don't think he was able to communicate with Ruidus until he started working with Ruidusborn which feels comparatively recent. Imagine unwittingly setting into motion a natural disaster that permitted the final stages of complete imperial takeover on an entirely different celestial body and then finding out 200-odd years later that this is extremely beneficial to your lifelong dreams.

this came to me in a vision. this is half-me figuring out relationships and half-me wanting to figure out how to draw these dummies.
dumb thoughts under the cut bc i cant shut up lol
crocodile and dragon ... truly divorced. extremely divorced. they run into each other at the supermarket and the tension is Palpable as they remark to each other "...Dragon." and "...Crocodile." while Luffy is standing there awkwardly texting his friends some shit like "besties my dads are about to fight in the cereal aisle" and someone (PROBABLY NAMI) is like "send pics lol"
crocodile and buggy is "you're stupid. i like that in a man" while buggy honks awkwardly being simultaneously afraid but also Into It
mihawk and buggy is the same except with more of mihawk being like "well. idk who the fuck this guy is but this is happening i guess." buggy's like 😨😫😭😳🤡 and mihawk is like 😶😑😐🤨
can u tell buggy and shanks own my ass tho ... i love childhood friends who drift apart bc one of them is so fucking stubborn about going off on his own and the other just Letting him, and theres a completely one-sided rivalry, and u just Know that if they got talking for too long, they'd start reminiscing about their pasts and start getting sad about their shared losses (re: Roger). something something buggy insisting it's a "can't live with you but can't live without you" thing idfk!
shanks and mihawk ..... ooouuuughhh we love rivals who respect each other and trust each other genuinely, and shanks being the only one who can crack mihawk's stoic exterior and the only person he can kinda let his guard down around.
i have nothing to say about crocodile and mihawk. their relationship is like. we are fuckbuddies but if our relationship level was at Strictly Coworkers.
i don't ... hate ... croco + doffy together but the way some ppl write them is so like ... not how i imagine their relationship. i went on an entire rant about it to my friends but tl;dr, i think it's a completely one-sided thing of doflamingo wanting them to be hannibal and will, playing mind games and having a psychosexual homoerotic obession w each other, but crocodile is completely like ... No. Get Away From Me (proceeds to smack doffy with a broom)

Day 4: Caranthir of @feanorianweek
Lordship
Yellow roses = Greed | Alliance
Caranthir has the oath of Feanor tattooed on his arm. I don´t know why he just has. Probably happened a drunk night while he was more filled of spite than usual. He leans more toward the Edain and dwarfish clothes and culture early on, in some situations, and his lack of social filter makes him more likable and trustworthy, to said people, making alliance and trade deals easier between them and himself than most Elvers would find it, not to mention him being good at math and handling, and adding, his wealth. I do think he had at least one wine yard, if that was in his own land or someone else's where he just rented doesn't matter as his wine was sought out and highly priced for its popularity and quality.
Maedhros | Maglor | Celegorm | Curufin | Ambarussa | Nerdanel and Feanor

She did not shrink back, though the pupils of her eyes dilated. Was it the wildest thing in the world which happened to her—or was it not? Without warning—the sudden rush of a thought, immense and strange, swept over her body and soul and possessed her—so possessed her that it changed her pallor to white flame. It was actually Anstruthers who shrank back a shade because, for the moment, she looked so near unearthly.
“I am not afraid of you,” she said, in a clear, unshaken voice. “I am not afraid. Something is near me which will stand between us—something which DIED to-day.”

smth that I've found difficult in navigating life as an autistic adult is that I don't want to be infantilized, like I want/need to be viewed as a full adult, but sometimes my needs seem childish to people. so like I fight to be taken seriously but then when I do actually need help I can't get it because only a child would need it and I should be able to handle if I really want to be viewed as an adult

What if like Steve is really smart in something that no one would suspect him of being. Like everyone drags on his intelligence a lot, but he isn't exactly dumb. Does he always pick up on the most obvious point and understand that immediately. Not exactly. But that doesn't distinguish between a person with a lot of intelligence and no intelligence.
This isn't a new thought, but in season three he picked up the location of the Russian base because he figured out the tune was coming from the mall. He chose to pay attention to the noises in the background instead of the transmission coming through. This made Robin able to solve the riddle because she knew the location of the base in the first place.
So Steve is smart, just not in ways that are shown in the show, which is mostly science and dnd lore. There are so many possibilities of what Steve could be really smart at.
I've seen a bunch of different takes on what this could be, but here is my submission.
What is Steve is really fucking good at geometry. Like he's a sports guy, which happens to use a lot of math. Take basketball for example, its simple angles would give the best trajectory for the ball to fall perfectly into the basket. Or in baseball, the perfect angle to hit the ball to get a home run. Is there some physics involved too, sure. But the basis of all of those ideas is built off the simple geometric concepts. So with some trial and error, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that Steve used his understanding of geometry and applied that to sports.
I'm not saying he's a math genius who can do calculations in his head in the middle of a basketball game to find the trajectory that would make the perfect shot. But I am saying that maybe during one of his math classes, it came a bit easier to him because he already had a little bit of understanding. And maybe he then used what he learned in class to improve his skills.
It's not something that would come up in the show, but knowing the right angle to hit a demogorgon the right way so it stumbles sure would help.
