#they're talking about water

Building on the favourite animal ask, another Very Important Question: favourite PREHISTORIC animal? And why? (I've always loved gorgonopsids and pterosaurs like anurognathus, but a new favourite is aquilolamma the eagle shark. They're just very cute).

I feel like my top favorites are pretty pedestrian, but I like prehistoric deer a lot!

Megaloceros giganteus aka Irish elk

Sinomegaceros ordosianus & Sinomegaceros yabei

Eucladoceros dicranios

Cervalces scotti

#they're so big why are they so big #imagine seeing an irish elk in the wild #or a herd of them #I also like long-horned bison #it's hard to imagine the good old mammoth without experiencing some type of awe and reverence #a few years ago there was a a lot of talk about spinosaurus possibly being a good swimmer and I really loved that idea personally #the looong torso & tail short limbs and quadrupedal posture made it look so sleek and crocodilian #I have no idea if that theory holds any water but I think they'd be my favorite dinosaur in any case #answered #anonymous

It's kind of funny that Kendall and Shiv are both equally delusional about their ability to charm people for business and somehow think they can do it even though they choke almost every single time, whereas it's like the one thing Roman is consistently good at despite being the "least legitimate" option.

I think part of this comes down to the fact that Shiv and Kendall both have very clear ideas of the versions of themselves they're trying to be and the images they're trying to project, and they're trying so hard to be seen that way that they end up coming off as a little desperate and off-putting. Meanwhile Roman "knows" that there's something wrong with him and he's worthless, so he doesn't get sucked into the trap of trying to force people to see his idea of himself and instead molds himself into whatever he thinks the other person wants from him because that's the only way he can compensate for "being him," which works very well in the short term but also means he's the least capable of maintaining any relationship for very long because he has no sense of self.

#this was going to be a joke about kendall consistently failing to charm anyone that isn't stewy (and still for some reason thinking he's #good at it) but then i thought about it too hard and started connecting dots #but it is really interesting on a character level to analyze the different ways the siblings act when they're trying to win someone over #kendall and shiv will try to find common ground but they always end up pushing too hard and overplaying their hands because they're #focussing too much on wanting to get the person to take them seriously or see them the way they want to be seen #and roman will test the waters a bit but not say anything definitive until he get the person talking and can see what it is they want #and then just says whatever it is he thinks they want to hear #which also makes a lot of sense with the abuse dynamics since he was the one most likely to actually get hit so the goal is to just make #sure dad never gets angry at you and tell him whatever you need to to avoid that because the consequences will be worse #anyways its 2 am here you go #succession #kendall roy #shiv roy #roman roy

Spider better be allowed to connect with Eywa next movie for the sole reason that I need to see him sit with Neteyam in the spirit world. I need to see him hug his baby brother and tell him he loves him. it's literally causing me physical pain.

#I keep thinking about Neteyam waiting for his big brother to come see him #like. he's at peace so he forgets a lot of real world struggles. he forgets Spider *can't* come see him. so he's just waiting. #and spider wants to see him so bad. #he's a big brother. he knows his baby bro is safe and at peace in Eywa. his siblings could tell him he is after they visit. but until he- #can see it himself he just can't fully believe it. he worries. he just wants to make sure his little brother is ok. but he *can't* #I just need them to see each other one more time. I need them to get to hug and play and laugh. I need to see spider *hold* his baby bro #I need to see him get a chance to cry and tell 'tey he loves him #its not a want its a need #avatar 2 #avatar the way of water #spider socorro #miles spider socorro #miles socorro #neteyam #neteyam te suli tsyeyk'itan #neteyam sully #they're brothers and we need to talk about it more often #specifically. Spider is 'teys big brother. 'tey is his baby

Was originally going to write this as a comment elsewhere, but uh. Have some thoughts on Double Life Scott and Pearl. This may be slightly controversial? If you disagree that's fine by me, we're all entitled to our own opinions, especially on topics with nuance! I usually find people going way too easy on Double Life c!Pearl and too hard on Double Life c!Scott. Was Scott a good person? A good soulmate, for that matter? No! But Pearl wasn't those things either. They were mutually abusive to one another throughout the season. I will say that I think Pearl was less bad, but there are so many people who just... completely dismiss Scott's end of things.

Scott: Caused harm to himself to harm Pearl (though at a consistently safe time to do so, at the start of the session, via a single axe crit), and spoke about Pearl quite awfully (calling her his "crazy ex", etc.) Pearl: Caused harm to herself (far more sporadically than Scott, via "tickles" from the powdered snow every now and then), and took unnecessary risks just because she could

Honestly, I don't blame Scott for "abandoning" her in the beginning. Like, for him, it would have been a reasonable assumption that she and Martyn would continue to stick together. Scott wasn't leaving her alone, he was leaving her with Martyn, choosing instead to stay with Cleo--the one who actually stuck by him while their soulbounds were off in the nether doing who knows what (which turned out to be gathering resources, even though the main resources you might want to go to the nether for, potion making supplies, are useless in a season where potions are banned). Scott is not to blame for Martyn's agency. It was Martyn who decided to blame Pearl (even though the big problem, the nether trip, was his idea), it was Martyn who left her alone. (Also, it may be worth mentioning that I'm pretty sure it was Cleo's idea for her and Scott to stay together? Please correct me if I'm wrong on that, again it's been a while.) (EDIT: Cleo did in fact suggest it! They said "We should form an alliance against them." It was a little bit of a joke, but they both seriously agreed to it. Still worth noting that it was Cleo's idea for them to stay together.)

Again, I feel the need to emphasize that c!Scott is not a good person. He becomes abusive to Pearl, who also becomes abusive, and they abuse one another from afar. Or when they talk to one another. They are awful to each other. It is a mutual thing, and I find that not enough people acknowledge that. They both suffered as the other's soulbound.

It's really, really important to remember that the Life Series--Double Life especially--is FULL of nuance when you look at it from a storytelling perspective. The Life Series has no real heroes, and no real villains. Only people doing their best to ensure the survival of their team and/or themselves. Scott and Pearl both had thoughts about what was best, and those thoughts clashed this season, leading them to clash with one another.

Really, I think that adds another layer to their ending. Scott, in his way, forgives Pearl through a show of loyalty and fairness he only gives to allies, conceding the true victory to her unprompted, and Pearl in turn forgives Scott. This only happens when there's nothing left but each other. They are finally on the same wavelength again, with no Cleo to sway Scott away from Pearl and no Martyn to deal the final blow to shatter Pearl's heart. It's just Gatekeep and Girlboss, truly together for a brief time, anger and animosity put aside. The Stars welcoming The Moon to join him in the night sky, where they can try again. Tilly death did they part, yes, but in parting they were set free from each other, and they were able to mend their connection on their own terms.

#remember i'm talking about the characters only. content creators Scott and Pearl are good friends and do not reflect their DL counterparts #some scattered thoughts: #--in a way scott is to soulmates as cats are to water #does great with them/it but absolutely hates it when they're forced together #--the only good person involved in this situation was tilly. we love tilly here <3 #--i don't know how much of it came out here but I really think that it's mostly c!Martyn's fault in the beginning #ofc c!Pearl and c!Scott have their own agency and should be blamed for their own actions #but it was Martyn who kickstarted things by deciding to go to the Nether and then proceeded to worsen them by abandoning Pearl. #you know I've got like at least three analysis-adjacent posts I should probably have a tag for that #grace's traffic thoughts #that works #time to go retrofit the other posts with the same label #life series #scott smajor #pearlescentmoon #double life #double life smp #trafficblr #cw abuse #<- just in case!

#beeheeyem #i promise i didn't squish down this image at all. they straight-up just look like this #_this_ is the pokémon that came after us at the beginning of psmd?? when all we were trynna do was get a drink of water??? #like i said i was gonna talk about that but holy hell they're so stretched #i mean they had that whole character arc where (SPOILERS) aaahh they were being controlled or whatever and they're actually nice #but also their head is so stretched out

Every time I remember Sanji kicking Luffy in Water 7 for Usopp I get this fuzzy feeling inside me and I start crying

#i think about this with established sanuso #i talk about this every day i apologize #but it is not my fault that they're dating in my head but not in canon i need to. to make it real with my posts #and also just in general. their canon relationship makes me ill #one piece #black leg sanji #usopp #sanuso #water 7

"Brave and the Bold can't have Cassandra Cain as Batgirl, Barbara Gordon's time as Batgirl is important history that can't be skipped over!"

Oh, okay, but it's alright for us to skip over *checks notes* Dick Grayson's time as Robin and becoming Nightwing, Jason Todd's time as Robin and death, and Tim Drake's time as Robin, which we will be doing as we already have Damian as Robin in this movie. I would include Stephanie Brown's brief period as Robin but I'm pretty sure the people making this argument don't know or care about her.

#batgirl #cassandra cain #this is in response to something i saw on twitter #and i'm just like...if they're trying to make this argument for babsgirl #why aren't they also complaining about batb having damian as robin already #and if they really want to talk about character history so much...their argument holds even less water #because by the time damian was robin barbara had long since moved on from batgirl to oracle #and in fact if we really want to be accurate to damian's time as robin then steph would be batgirl (and dick as batman)

is anyone else up thinking about how pei ming is aptly named as the god of love not for his affairs but for how open he is with his friendship and his devotion to people especially in comparison to the cold detachment of the rest of the upper court. how the three tumors are the only real honest friendship that we see in the upper court and how pei ming is the most openly affectionate of those three. how pei ming is consistently looking out for shi qingxuan even as she disdains him. how pei ming is both an ally and a friend to the main group in the last act just because he's sociable like that. nobody else? just me?

#i am always on my 'aromantic pei ming as the god of love for the irony of it' kick HOWEVER. #i firmly believe he's the most easy with his affection of any character in the book and that absolutely includes hualian. #like xie lian is in love with hc but you could not pay him to give a fuck about most of the other characters dkfgjs #pei ming is consistently well meaning and loyal and devoted to the people he cares about. #and like yes he's shady sometimes. but um. points at him carrying shi wudu's body back from black water arc #and being the only god who is consistently shown to be looking for shi qingxuan after all of that. #and also him nd the other tumors going out for girl's night after the mid autumn banquet i just think they're silly #pei ming and ling wen showing up to that meeting together in last week's episode is just spinning around my head constantly. #they're friends :D #they hang out :D #like the most significant relationships in the upper court besides that are fengqing's dysfunctional rivalry and beefleaf. and well— #talking #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #pei ming

@thehelplessmortals shared this with me and...Penelope coded.

She definitely tried to gross out Odysseus in a dumb "You think you can handle me, idiot? >:) " way. (She's stubborn and in denial at first. When she realizes she actually likes him, she's a mess.) And while eating raw fish is normal for naiad-born in Sparta, when she learned Odysseus wasn't used to naiads in daily life, she just really went wild with it.

He's just staring at her kind of expressionless and she thinks "Ha, see? You don't really like me."

But he's just like

"You like carp? Cuz if you do, we got plenty on Ithaca! Many more fish too! And if we don't, I'll get you some!"

And she's annoyed because her plan didn't work. Girlie is self-sabotaging even though she thinks he's neat.

#this is normal for naiads but she also doesn't have impulse control. She'll jump in mid-convo. #...part of the joke is that basically no one eats carp because they're fucking disgusting :D same with catfish...at least where I live #Helen: “uh...I could just shock the water and then you could get them.” #Penelope: “Where's the sport in that?! >:( ” #It's not like a “playing hard to get” she just genuinely doesn't believe he could possibly like her and being a shit about it. #“Helen's supposed to get the happy ending. not me” (which Helen even is like “you're an idiot”) she eventually gets #her act together :D she's overwhelmed right now. especially since he's just head over heels and just... a LOT as he doesn't know #what to do with these feelings either and she gets mad at him for constantly talking about marriage “The more you say it. the less I wanna" #especially with his reputation to bully and fuck with people. and the fact that he lied to her so much when they first met. she doesn't #trust him. He's overwhelming her and then she's finally like. “if you're so interested. we're doing things at my pace.” then things get chi #they're both so used to putting up their guard that they can't genuinely believe this could be something wonderful #she actually is kind of afraid of the fact that “...Do you just have a thing for Naiads?? since you're not used to them?” are you weird? #but he interacts fine with other naiads. and isn't affected by Helen. #shot by odysseus #Mad rambles #my headcanons #odypen #btw. she chew through bone technically :D fish bone but bone #kind of want to make a “moodboard for the Water Wife” #penelope #Water Wife

(from Batman Year One: Shadow of the Bat, 1995)

#two components of a good shower according to bruce wayne: #1) water on full blast directly at your junk #2) butler in the bathroom with you (this panel makes it look like alfred's also in the shower but he's actually next to it) #the context for this is they're talking about poison ivy with a typical mid-'90s amount of sexism #batman #batman comics #dc comics #bruce wayne #kvetch oc

seriously considering making a ninjago AU comprised entirely of speculative biology about serpentine because their whole everything is pretty inconsistent but I really like snakes so I wanna fix it up a bit

#i was writing something with constrictai in it #and i realized that they're pretty closely aligned to earth; they burrow and they have super strength like the master of earth #so i wanna tie serpentine species to the elements #cuz that sounds fun #constrictai would be earth ofc #hypnobrai could be mind? #venomari could be poison of toxic or whatever that element was called i forget #fangpyres could be form since they change things into other things #not sure about anacondrai #also i don't really like that aspheera is apparently an ancient hypnobrai cuz aside from the hood she doesn't look anything like one- #-and she doesn't have hypnotizing powers #so i want her to be a member of a species that was a common ancestor of all serpentine #also the snakes from the underwater kingdom whose name i forgot will have water element obviously #i probably should have put that stuff in the main post instead of rambling in the tags. oh well #it's really late rn so i might make an actual post that makes sense and isn't 90% tags tomorrow #ninjago #talking tag #retroactively adding: #ninjago elemental serpentine au
