Baymax! theories and talking about a new season
Hi guys! I just realized that Hiro must have been upgraded Baymax a little before the series starts. I have proof. Remember when Aunt Cass hurt her ankle on different room than where Baymax was. What does this mean? Hiro must have been upgraded Baymax’s “hearing sensor” so that he can be alerted on a different room also. And also Baymax came to help, not only “ow”, but also “Shhh, my ankle!” and “Itai ai!” and “No no no no!” So Hiro must have added some “emergency calls” to Baymax “need for medical help”, that not only “ow!” is the only voice which make Baymax to inflate but also those three I listed.
And then on top of that, Baymax wondered around the city with some heels under his luggage so that’s a new upgrade also.
P.S. I REALLY hope we’ll get to have a new season of Baymax! And in there MUST BE TADASHI MENTIONED!! :) <3 For example, a flashback or Baymax tells why Tadashi wanted to create a nurse bot OR Hiro is talking to Tadashi’s grave and saying something like “Hi bro!” ........ and stuff likes: “Baymax is helping a lot of people, just like you wanted” OHHHH! MY HEART!! ;( ;( ;( (and of course Baymax gives a hug to Hiro when Hiro is on Tadashi’s grave)
Other things I want to see:
The nerd gang (all of them, it doesn’t matter why there are there, it could be just for example someone’s birthday and Baymax is helping someway(?)...
A person with mental issues (and Baymax of course helping)
And lastly, please don’t think I’m a horrible person but I would think it would be good if we would have some “darker/sadder episode”. I mean that when someone won’t be cured and he/she is going to die BUT Baymax is helping to accept his/her destiny. Wow! That’s a serious stuff! But I have to admit, the world isn’t perfect and not everyone can be cured, unfortunately. But in the moment of these it’s so important that the patient (and his/her loved ones) accept this situation and are peace with it. For example cancer is that kind of illness that someone is going to die when the treatment hasn’t worked. This is of course so deep stuff that I highly doubt that it would be on the kids’ show.
I’m fine if we don’t have that “dying episode” but at least, please Tadashi and the nerd gang!

sometimes i think about why big hero 6 died off. i obviously don't know the exact reasons for sure. but every reason i can land on is its diversity. the reason people didn't latch onto it as hard, the reason disney didn't market the series properly even though the movie won best animated picture of 2014...there was one white man in their main cast and he wasn't one of the smart ones. consciously or not i think fandom culture and disney execs didn't like that.

Whitney Mellos, the White Drewman
Be Logical
Rank: A (Semi-Main Character)
Visual Inspiration
Tumblr media
Character Bases
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Obsessive Compulsive Determinator
Polite, perky Whitney is the shining image of responsibility and organization. She simply doesn’t make mistakes. Whitney’s typically good at keeping a cool aura and exudes genuine confidence to an almost dorky degree. If it’s not Gordon being the voice of reason, it’s her. If not her, it’s Bryan.
So why wouldn’t she be the voice of reason? You see, she’s an obsessive rule follower and people pleaser, regardless of whether or not it’s a good one. She’ll go against the rules if they really push her morals, but given that resident sugar-fueled schemer Violet is ICT’s boss…
Fun Facts
Tumblr media
Whitney’s surname is a play on “marshmallow”.
Whitney is one of several characters to change names on development. In her case, she was “Bianca”.
Whitney has the biggest redesign between her first and second RS designs.
Whitney, as Bianca, was originally the tallest girl in Rough Sketch. It’s Color Theory scales her down to slightly shorter than Violet. Geneva takes her place among the first season’s cast.
Whitney inherited many aspects from Peony (originally Rosie) as she appears in RS and vice versa. Specifically, Whitney gets Peony’s former rule-obsessed personality, and Peony gets Whitney’s old “cool big sis” nature.
Whitney is the only female neutral colored Drewman in Season One, Noah and Sylvester both being male.
Whitney, like Angie, has skin colored sclerae. In her specific case, the point is entirely moot.
Whitney lives her life according to a strict schedule. If something throws her off, she’ll personally reset every clock on the planet to rectify it.

Nobody:
Literally Nobody:
Me: What if the reason in-universe why Major Blast takes place after Fred the Fugitive is bc Mrs. Frederickson heard about the SFPD hunting down and arresting Fred and she was so worried of it happening again so she decided to bust out the old Major Blast persona and test Fred’s superhero skills so she’d be less worried her kid was going to get arrested

The line "(being invisible)'s strange, perhaps, but it's not a crime. Why am I assaulted by a policeman in this fashion?" has the same energy as "Oh I see how it is, something goes missing and the first thing you do is blame the monster!" both in AND out of context, further proving my Griffin-Spot-Globby theory.

Back to the Future is on the TV, so my thought currently is BttF/BH6 crossover
Hiro gets sent back in time, was angling to stop his brother from dying but accidentally gets sent back too far to when Obake, Wendy and Trevor were still attending, shenanigans ensue
Hiro is torn between stopping the bad stuff that happens to these three and not totally screwing up the timeline
Also isn’t sure what to make of pre-explosion Obake they get along well and that makes him uncomfortable
Obake, when he learns of time-travel: this is great!  We can go back to like, 1905 and meet Lenore Shimamoto!  Or 1906 and get City Rises before it disappears...wait is that how it disappears?
Hiro, knowing what Obake eventually does with his information on Shimamoto: UHHHHHH the time machine only has limited uses, sorry.
Obake is still an imp pre-explosion and is more than happy to help stop the snitching of Wendy’s paper
Wendy still forms the Woweroos thanks to Hiro blurting that out and her cottoning onto the idea
Time machine probably ends up looking like the one from Meet the Robinsons not sure if Hiro could get his hands on a DeLorean or even if he knows how to drive a car so....
Granville is milder no-nonsense and Obake is amused by the way Hiro keeps scurrying away from both her and Professor Callaghan
Hiro, when asked: UHHHHHH he turns evil in like, twenty years
Obake: I knew it

Portrayal of young people dealing with grief/loss in animated films
TW: Mentions of death/loss, trauma and mental illness
Please beware of potential spoilers for the following films: “The Lion King”, “Brother Bear”, “Frozen”, “Big Hero 6″, “Abominable” (2019)
I recently discovered that the animated films “Abominable“ (2019) and „Big Hero 6“ (2014) both focus on the issue of children/teens/young adults and loss as a kind of main topic and wanted to dive a little further into this subject.
There are two main reasons why I find it very important to discuss this: Firstly, because, at least in my opinion, the public awareness of it is relatively low – this also applies to death in general, being a rather “unpleasant“ subject to talk about, but is especially problematic when it comes to young people, whose problems very often go unnoticed. Secondly, animated films, being mainly targeted at a young audience, could support young people going through difficult times by showing them that they are not alone and maybe even what could possibly help them to deal better with their own problems, besides helping to raise public awareness for these issues. That being said, I selected a couple of animated movies (mainly Disney) from the last 30 years where the topic of loss plays a sufficiently big role. I chose the ones that I know well enough to analyze them and also the ones that I personally found the most interesting, so the choice is definitely pretty subjective and maybe a bit “biased“, but it should be informative nevertheless.
The first film that I‘d like to discuss is Disney‘s classic “The Lion King“ (1994). I‘m well aware that this choice isn‘t unproblematic – after all the main (young) protagonist “Simba“ is a lion, not a human. Since the animals in Disney films are almost always pretty humanized, I decided that it was alright, though. I especially wanted to include that film, because it deals with the combination of loss and trauma – Simba not only loses his father, but also witnesses his death and moreover gets guilt-tripped by his uncle into believing that it was his fault. While this may be a very extraordinary situation, the feeling of guilt is very common when it comes to loss. Simba can only leave the feeling of guilt behind at the end of the film when he learns about the true circumstances of his father‘s demise. It also shows how much these experiences influence Simba later in his life – he doesn‘t feel „worthy“ of being king, he runs away from the rest of his family (which could also be interpreted as secluding himself) and just wants to forget about the past. Only when he (literally) confronts his “inner demons“, he is finally able to make some sort of peace with it. All in all, the portrayal of a young “person“ dealing with loss in this film (although it‘s a rather crass situation) seems pretty accurate and includes some helpful pieces of “advice“ on how to deal with guilt.
The next movie I‘d like to analyze is “Brother Bear“ (2003). Once again, this film doesn‘t (exclusively) focus on humans, but is nonetheless informative since it portrays two experiences with loss which are closely interwoven: On the one hand, young adult “Kenai” has to deal with the death of his brother, on the other hand, the little bear “Koda” loses his mother. Kenai‘s situation resembles the one of Simba – both have to deal with guilt. But whereas his father‘s death isn‘t Simba‘s fault at all, it‘s much more difficult for Kenai to clear himself of being the one responsible for his brother‘s death. The interesting thing is that, whereas Simba takes the blame without questioning it further (probably because he is supposed to be still a “child“ when his father dies), Kenai shifts the blame fully onto the bear that his brother tried to protect him from and which he kills in the process. Later, when Kenai learns that the bear he killed was the mother of Koda, he once again feels guilty, but this time takes on responsibility for it. Koda, of course, is shocked when he learns this, but they both are able to come to terms with the past in the end, finding the family they both lost in each other. This film deals with the especially difficult issue of actually being (at least partly) responsible for someone‘s death – in real life this could, for example, be the case in a car accident. While this might not be that relevant for young people, there is another key message: even after the loss of someone, it is possible to find comfort in other people – be it other family members/relatives or, like in that example, friends.
Another film which I was a little hesitant to include here is “Frozen“ (2013) – while the main protagonists are humans, they are both technically already “adults“ (18 and 21 years old). I finally decided to include it because I personally think that an experience with loss at that age is still pretty difficult. People in their early twenties of course still struggle very much when they lose someone, but at the same time are expected to act all “grown-up“. This is exactly what the film shows: Both Anna and Elsa have to grow up pretty quickly, taking on important responsibilities from one day to the next, most likely without having been properly prepared to do so. While Anna tries to mend the bond with her sister, Elsa shuts herself away from everyone – which is also not unusual when people try to deal with loss. “Frozen” especially focuses on the aspect of relatively young people having to deal with a lot of responsibility – this seems pretty relatable for everyone who has lost one parent or both. But the film also shows another important thing: letting others help you instead of trying to get to grips with everything on your own, is a really important resource in difficult times. This message is especially relevant for young adults, who might feel like that they‘re alone and don‘t have anyone who could support them.
“Big Hero 6“ (2014) and “Abominable“ (2019) are the two films that, in my personal opinion, focus the most on the experience of loss itself. In the other films that I discussed previously, the experience of loss per se wasn‘t really the focal point – more often than not it rather served as a topic to help develop the actual plot. In “Big Hero 6“ 14-year-old Hiro has to deal with the loss of his brother – who seems to have been the only one left of his core family. “Abominable“‘s main protagonist is Yi (who might also be around Hiro‘s age), who has recently lost her father. Both films take the experience of loss as a kind of starting point and the topic stays relevant throughout the whole movie. Both Hiro and Yi have to deal with extraordinary situations (helping an escaped Yeti get back to the Himalayas/fighting a masked villain) that could symbolize them trying to come to terms with the definitely extraordinary situation of their personal losses. Hiro is portrayed showing signs of depression, Yi tries to cope by always keeping herself occupied with something. In Hiro‘s case anger also plays an important role, when he finally finds out who really is responsible for his brother‘s death. Yi rather seems to have to deal with grief, regretting that she never got to travel the country with her father, like they had planned. At the same time, both teens struggle with letting others (friends and family) help them.
This is especially prominent in Yi‘s case: During one scene she is talking about her experiences with her friend Jin, telling him that her mother and grandmother don‘t understand her and that she feels as if they were pushing her away. Jin then asks her whether it couldn‘t be possibly her, that is pushing them away. I think that is an extremely relatable scene – especially young people having to deal with things that are way too “heavy“ for them, often feel as if they were alone, because no one can truly understand them. While this often may be the case, isolating oneself is also a pretty common reaction to experiencing loss – wanting to be left alone to come to terms with everything etc. Yi always carries part of a photo with her, that shows her and her father. At the end of the film, the Yeti that she helped rescue, hands her the other part of the photo – showing Yi‘s mother and grandmother – and puts the two pieces together. This way, Yi finally realizes that she still has a family that loves and supports her – if she lets them. In a similar way, the robot “Baymax“ that was built by his brother, helps Hiro to realize the importance of friendship. In my personal opinion “Abominable“ depicts the topic of young people and grief in the most accurate and realistic way, making it especially relatable and possibly the most “helpful“.
To summarize my previous analysis, a varied set of animated films has, so far, portrayed the various aspects of young people dealing with loss. The different films focus each on different aspects of grieve – especially sadness/depression, anger, regret, guilt, having to grow-up quickly, isolating oneself and (not) accepting help/support. What strikes me as both important and interesting is the way these films approach the issue: Older films like “The Lion King“ and “Brother Bear“ only dealt with the topic “in disguise“. Not only that the main protagonists were (partly) animals, but the aspects of loss and grieving weren‘t really the focal point of the plot. This is what, in my opinion, makes the two most recent films “Big Hero 6“ and “Abominable“ special: A quite young protagonist trying to come to terms with their loss is basically the central theme of both films. In contrast to the older films, these two movies approach the topic more openly, depicting things like depression or showing funeral scenes (the latter also applies to “Frozen“). I personally interpret that as a kind of shift in film-making, especially Disney seemingly becoming “bolder“ as time goes by and no longer producing only “feel-good-movies“, but also films dealing with serious topics - not only mentioning them but actually making them a main theme of the plot. This is especially important since animated films are not only ideally suited to portray “difficult“ subjects in a way that is suitable for young people, but also to show them ways to deal with their own problems and therefore help and support them during severe crises, especially when they lack people to support them in real life. Besides, such films can play an important role in awareness raising.

Hello friends, lovers, hereditary enemies, and fellow Good-Omens-brain-rot-afflicted!
Inspired by some lengthy conversations and the need for reassurance regarding a renewal for season 3, the lovely Eena @michaelsheens and I have decided to start a little Project!
Tumblr media
(Sorry, Crowley, we had to…)
THE NICE AND ACCURATE PROPHECIES* WEEK
Running from SEPTEMBER 25TH to OCTOBER 1ST, it’s all themed around season 3 and the assumption we’re gonna get that renewal. (Manifesting, baby.)
✨ THE PLAN ✨
Every day will focus on a theme around which everyone who wants to participate is encouraged to create any kind of content they want to! Art, fanfic, edits, playlists, speculation, meta, go nuts!
(Also please don’t worry if something doesn’t fit neatly into a day’s theme; they’re only meant to give somewhat of a prompt and structure. Ultimately it’s not that strict and serious, we just wanna see your stuff :))
✨ HOW TO PARTICIPATE ✨
Share whatever your big heart and massive brain comes up with and use the tag #gomensnaap
(It’s like a long nap or something.)
You’re also welcome to give shoutouts to other people’s work you love and want to celebrate, but please make sure to link and credit properly (!!!)
Most importantly: have fun <3
✨ THEMES ✨
(under the cut)
Tumblr media
DAY 1: “And there will be great lamentations.”
Let’s talk the Second Coming! We start off and warm up with everything plot-related. Theories, meta, crack ideas, let’s hear your thoughts on where you think the Big Main Plot is going to go!
Tumblr media
DAY 2: “I can make a difference!”
For day two, let’s focus on Aziraphale’s arc in season 3. Did he go to Heaven with a plan? Or is he winging it? (Pun only somewhat intended.) Was he threatened or manipulated or both or neither? Will he tell Heaven just where they can stick it or can he actually succeed? What’s in store for our favorite angel?
Tumblr media
DAY 3: “Hated by Heaven, loathed by Hell. How will our hero cope?”
Day three is all about Crowley and what we think he’s going to get up to. Is he going to go drink himself senseless and have a good cry? Go snek and hybernate for a bit? Hang out with Muriel and do some tempting? Does he have a plan and how will he cope being on his own?
Tumblr media
DAY 4: “There was magic abroad in the air…”
Let’s talk Ineffable Husbands! How are Crowley and Aziraphale going to resolve things between them? Will there be a massive fight? Radio silence for days/weeks/months/years? Will they learn to Actually COmmunicate? Will there be grudges, grand gestures, secret meetings, a big rescue mission from either side?
Tumblr media
DAY 5: “Extreme sanctions.”
On day six we wanna make ourselves anxious, sad and upset. (As one does.) What thing that may or may not happen in season 3 are you most worried about? Dark/depressed/evil/etc Crowley? Memory-wiped/brain-washed/archangel Aziraphale? Book of Life? How could Neil & Co hurt us the most?
Tumblr media
DAY 6: “Do you…want a hot chocolate?”
After day 5’s spiral, it’s time for a metaphorical treat. What are you most looking forward to in season 3? What do you really want to see? Headcanons coming true? Scenes you wish for? Things that’ll make you wanna name your cat/dog/fish/insert other pet here Neil Richard Gaiman or Sir Terence David John Pratchett?
Tumblr media
DAY 7: “It’s starts, as it will end, with a garden.”
Finally, to finish it all up, let’s speculate about the end of season 3. How do you think we’ll leave this story? Will things just go back to how they’ve always been? Will there be peace? Earth hidden from Heaven and Hell with a big 500 Lazarii miracle? Aziraphale and Crowley turned human? Or will they get their cottage in the South Downs for the rest of eternity?

My Top 10 Favorite Stormlight Fights...That DON'T Involve Kaladin
I wanted to do an overall “top fights” list but I found that were all, uh, just Kaladin. So Kaladin’s best fights will be saved for a future post, probably, but for now--let’s give some love for those epic fights that DON’T involve our most dramatic hero.
[SPOILERS FOR ALL OF STORMLIGHT ARCHIVES!]
10: Adolin (and Renarin!) vs. the Thunderclast [Oathbringer]
This one makes the Top 10 for me mostly because of how cool it must have been in theory...although tragically we never do actually get to see Renarin fight the Thunderclast. I mean, Adolin's part is still very cool--gotta love the one guy without Radiant powers nevertheless trying to fight a giant stone monster from ages past. And then Renarin comes and defeats it off-screen, and that is cool enough to make this list even though we don't see it.
#9: Moash vs. Leshwi [Oathbringer]
This is such a short fight, and it probably wouldn't make the Top 10 for most people...but I thought it was cool. We have Moash facing off against a Fused--one of the first Fused we ever see--with a Shardblade, only to realize that he can't beat her with that weapon, so he grabs a simple spear instead (my heart!). Then he gets lashed to the sky...but pulls her with him and stabs her in the chest. And so he kills her, and Lewshi being Leshwi, she's like, "Okay. You're legit and I like you." So kind of a cool character-building moment for both of them!
#8: Adolin & Dalinar & Elhokar vs. the Chasmfiend [Way of Kings]
This fight didn't do it for me one a first read, because frankly I didn't care that much about the Dalinar chapters in Book 1 because I was always waiting to get back to Kaladin. But upon a reread and a re-reread, I liked it much more! Like so many early fights in Way of Kings, it felt like a sort of tutorial for how the powers work, here focusing on how Shardblades and Chasmfiends Work. You get to see Adolin & Dalinar work well together despite their conflicts, and you get to see Elhokar being, well, Elhokar.
#7: Adolin’s Duels [Words of Radiance]
Except for the last one, to keep this ranking Kaladin-free! But Adolin's pre-Whitespine-Uncaged duels were also very legit. Adolin is a great swordsman, and that makes him fun to watch (well, read about). And I loved the way that he had a different way to mess with his opponent in every duel, from unhinged battery to slowly picking apart the other guy's armor. It's great to see someone good at dueling get to do what they're best at.
#6: Szeth vs. an entire party [Way of Kings]
I'm referring to when Szeth assassinated King Hanavanar of Jah Keved...while the guy was holding a big dinner party. And while this scene is a little painful to read, since Szeth slaughters everyone while crying, if memory serves, you gotta be a little impressed by the way Szeth is able to kill an entire room of people, many of whom are armed with Shardblades or half-shards. At one point he even tosses his sword away and goes hand-to-hand with people holding deadly weapons and just slaughters them all, no problem. That guy is frightening good at murder.
#5: Navani vs. Raboniel vs. Moash [Rhythm of War]
Some fights are cool because they involve visually stunning moves or epic swordplay. Some are cool because they rip my heart into a million pieces. This is one of the latter! Navani killing Raboniel is gut-wrenchingly tragic but also so cool (the Fused are impossible to kill and yet, Navani does it)...and then Moash shows up. The confrontation between Moash and Navani was an emotional beat I didn't know I needed until it was happening...and listen, I am SUCH a sucker for self-sacrifice. Raboniel grabbing Moash to let Navani escape, even after Navani killed her? I'll never be over it.
#4: Szeth vs. Gavilar [Way of Kings]
I mean, this one is a true classic. It's the first fight we see, and serves as a basic tutorial on how stormlight and Shardblades work. We have Szeth in the opening of Way of King, going to assassinate Gavilar. He lashes people and things left and right. He's on the ceiling and the walls. He's burning souls and cutting holes in the building. He's desperately fighting Gavilar in what is probably Gavilar's only cool scene in all of the books. It's just classic.
#3: Shallan vs. An Entire Army [Oathbringer]
I'm not sure this would make a "Top Fights" list for very many people, but it is one of my personal favorites. This refers to the Battle of Thaylen Field (yes, Kaladin is in the background but that doesn't count as involvement), when Shallan, Veil, & Radiant summon hordes of alters to distract the Odium-crazed army. Not only does she fend off an entire army single-handedly (holy shit, Shallan), but she does so despite the fact that it is her being killed over and over again in thousands of forms. The image of her, Radiant, and Veil holding hands as she struggles to stay conscious is incredibly powerful to me. And Jasnah goes to help! A+ fight.
#2: Adolin & Maya vs. the Tukari [Rhythm of War]
This is one of my all-time favorite fights. It takes place in Shadesmar, when Adolin runs to help Notum who is being stabbed and beaten by a group of Tukari, Not only is it a heroic fight against grossly mismatched odds, which I always love, but it also demonstrates the bond between Maya & Adolin. And when the two of them fight back to back using the kata... *chef's kiss*
#1: Dalinar vs. Odium [Oathbringer]
I'm aware that Kaladin is, like, in the background here, but the actual conflict between Dalinar & Odium does not involve him. And this isn't a physical fight--there's no clashing of Shardblades or running on the ceiling--but damn if this fight doesn't hit hard. Dalinar fights with a book and with his whole soul, and he refuses to give up his pain or to absolve himself of the guilt of what he's done. This might be one of the most powerful moments in any book, so it gets the top spot here!
What are your guys' favorite non-Kaladin fights? Let me know in the comments, if you want!

Batfam as made-up facts
Dick: The biggest biohazard in public swimming pools isn't the kid that peed in it, but rather the body oil from all the swimmers accumulating over time. Not only is oil not neutralized by pool chemicals such as chlorine, but it also floats to the surface and is the first thing you make contact with when you jump in the water. This is why a lot of public pools ask people to shower beforehand.
Jason: Making new memories is simply the process of our brains creating and reinforcing new neural connections. Traumatic or impactful events see denser myelination in the hippocampus (brain's memory center) and it's theorized that when we die and our "life flashes before our eyes," there's more activity in those denser regions leading to more vivid images of those moments.
Tim: Klondike's Equation is one of the lesser-known unsolved mysteries in math. It's a branch of calculus that takes Olivar's Laws of four-dimensional derivatives and creates a paradoxal equation by which the right half of it cannot be fully written if the left half is unsolved, but the left half needs values from the right in order to be computed.
Damian: The oldest interactive/roleplaying game dates back to the ancient Sumerians, according to records. It consisted of a theater of clay puppets that the audience would chime in with how they should act. It was often performed at bars or taverns during holidays with stories themed around mythical deities or fables.
Duke: In 1982, Bill Watterson brought to Archie Comics a standalone concept of a child hero and a sentient animal companion. However, he was rejected in favor of the up-and-coming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story. After shopping around at companies and getting lots of rejections, Watterson finally found his big break with Andrews McMeel Publishing, cementing his place in comic history with the cult classic Calvin and Hobbes.
Cullen: The smallest readable book ever made is 12 nanometers long by 8 nanometers wide. It was engineered by four particle physics grad students at the University of Vienna and contains the first passage of the Bible across six microscopic pages.
Stephanie: Most aerosol cans use both oxygen and carbon dioxide as the aerosolizing agent, which is why you're told never to spray them near an open flame. However, for food (like whipped cream or spray cheese), nitrogen is used instead. This is to prevent perishable food from oxidizing and for preservation as nitrogen helps maintain a cooler inner temperature.
Cassandra: The most plausible explanation for the legendary chupacabra was proposed by a team of anthropologists in Oaxaca. Essentially, it combines the theories of mass hysteria with the existence of a similar creature that went extinct in early Mesoamerican history. As accounts of this now-extinct creature was passed down, the image of it was slowly distorted. The modern chupacabra legend likely arose in a period of mass hysteria during political and economical insecurity.
Barbara: Traditional computer programs can be broken down into a series of if-then commands by which a condition is given and the program must respond according to the parameters. However, machine learning algorithms use an expanded version of this, known colloquially as if-then-but-because-however. The "if-then" stipulates the parameters, the "but" is for modifiers, the "because" is for generating explanations (usually pulled from a database of other works unfortunately), and the "however" is for exceptions that may rise over the course of running the program.
Harper: Ambidextrous people actually struggle the most when it comes to the drums. Most drum setups and tabs (sheet music) are designed with right-handedness as a default. Left-handed people can simply flip it around it for themselves. However, ambidextrous players have been found to struggle with the asymmetry of the instrument. That's why, among professional rock drummers, only 6% are ambidextrous compared to the 18% of lefties and 76% of righties.
Carrie: Although it feels like our lungs are burning after holding our breath for a while, the sensation actually originates from our inflated diaphragm pressing against our lungs. Since there are more nerve endings around our lungs than our diaphragm, we interpret the feeling higher than where it actually occurs.
Kate: During the war of 1812, a group of nine Canadian men known as the False Damsels donned women's attire to act as spies against the Americans. Of the nine, four of them reportedly continued crossdressing after the war and one of them started going by Margaret a few months later and remained unmarried for 20 years until they moved to Portugal with an unknown courter.
Alfred: In 1757, the British government attempted to train livestock, such as cows and chickens, to spy on domestic threats (such as anti-monarchists). However, this project never took off due to a regional outbreak of avian flu combined with the takeoff of the Industrial Revolution and new inventions that rendered animal labor obsolete.
Selina: Coffees and wines contain a bitter compound called tannins, and the ability to taste them is genetically determined. Capsaicin can be seen analogously. Some people inherit a gene that allows them to detect capsaicin fully, so when they eat a pepper, all they get is the heat and little to no flavor. Conversely, others have a gene where the heat is "muted" and they can better distinguish the flavors between two spicy foods.
Bruce: There is a correlation between one's taste in food and expectation of others. According to a 2019 Harvard study, people who reported preferring more simultaneous flavors in their food were 26% harsher in an activity where they had to grade students' mock essays.

Ask game:
LoV turned into pets and class 1A adopts them
1. It all started because Tomura was rude to a witch online. (Yes, the magical kind of witch. Even though this is a canon-adjacent quirks AU.) The witch cursed his entire family to turn into animals. Tomura thinks of the League of Villains as family, so...
2. Class 1-A is sent on a community service assignment at a local shelter, where they encounter adorable and grumpy animals they simply fall in love with at first sight and have to take home.
3. Tomura is an cute corgi who gets adopted by Izuku. Actually Tomura becomes astonishingly chill after turning into a dog and decides he likes lazing around all day. He has no interest in ever turning back into a human.
4. Toga turns into a yellow canary. She immediately starts following Izuku around after he arrives at the shelter and trying to peck him. But she gets adopted by Ochaco, who always wanted a bird. Toga continues to glomp Izuku at every chance, which Ochaco misinterprets as her pet trying to help her out with her crush.
5. Dabi is a gray-brown cat who gets adopted by Shouto. (Shouto believes he has a pet raccoon because of the markings under his eyes.) It was love at first sight for Shouto because he saw Dabi urinating on an Endeavor poster. Dabi tries to dislike Shouto but his fire side is just so comfortable. Shouto names him Phoenix because of his love of heat.
6. Spinner turns into a gecko lizard (of course) and gets taken home by Fumikage. Spinner is slightly terrified of birds in this form but Fumikage loves lizards.
7. Twice is a nervous chinchilla who got adopted by Kaminari and named "Pikachu." However, Bakugo ends up taking over primary duties caring and feeding for the chinchilla. Bakugo pretends to complain about it and cooks him gourmet meals.
8. Kurogiri turned into a black cat who got immediately snagged by Aizawa. Yamada and Midnight also dote on him. Sushi acts like he met an old friend.
9. Mr. Compress transformed into a magpie and latched onto Momo because she is always wearing shiny jewelry. He steals items from all over her house, and she thinks that it's adorable.
10. Magne turned into an energetic German shepherd and got adopted by Mina, who has plenty of energy for a big dog.
11. Gigantomachia got turned into a tiger. Hitoshi adopted him and brainwashed everyone into thinking that he's just a large cat.
12. Nezu is not happy to have so many cats in his school. Through his information sources, Nezu also realized what happened to the LOV so he's forced to tolerate them in order to keep them under his supervision.
12. Mineta is allergic to cats.
13. Shouto comes up with a conspiracy theory that these animals, who seem unusually intelligent, are actually manifestations of the ghosts living in Izuku's quirk. He thinks that Tomura is Yoichi and Dabi is En.
14. Unfortunately for AFO, Tomura thinks of him like family. So he got transformed into the world's ugliest hairless blind cat with a scarred face. Even more unfortunately for AFO, All Might takes one look at the most pathetic and unadoptable animal in the shelter, and his hero instincts activate. All Might adopts Cat for One and names him Nana. (Shouto convinced All Might to use the name even though All Might does not seriously believe his conspiracy theory.) No matter how AFO tries to attack and claw him, All Might only thinks that he needs more love and affection.
15. The witch's curse wears off if the villains sincerely reform. Which means that there is hope for the rest of the league, but All for One is going to be stuck as a cat forever.
