A little advice from someone studying extremist groups: if you’re in a social media environment where the daily ubiquitous message is that you have no hope of any kind of future and you can’t possibly achieve anything without a violent overthrow of society, you’re being radicalized, and not in the good way.

Haunted by the visions of overprotective Liam going out of his way to aggressively make Theo feel like he's included because Theo confided in him about how he's never going to be the part of the pack

Having a celebrity crush who is actually in my age range is crippling because on a certain level I almost think I'd have a chance. On another I'm reminded that despite his pretty face he's stupid fucking tall and I'm ACTUALLY at knee height.

I'm gonna become a Doofenshmirtz-esque villain. Because all the footage coming out of the Jesus Christ Superstar preformance at the Hollywood Bowl has me resenting all of y'all bitches that can not only afford tickets but the travel cost to get there, or are convenienced to already be there.

I've got the angel on my shoulder going, "you can't hate people just because you're poor and they're not."

But the devil? The fucking devil is spouting SERMONS about GREED!!

If you hear on the news about about some bitch trynna take out LA with the poor-innator 9000, know it was me.

no actually i don't think antivaxxers' kids should die from a disease. i don't think gun advocates' kids should die in school shooting. children dying is bad actually, even if they're children of people you don't like.

Okay, so it really annoys me that, since they're supernatural, we don't know anything about the physical vulnerabilities/imperfections they had before their transformation, so here's a rundown (puppy pack edition):

We know Theo was canonically asthmatic, and we also know he probably had some heart disease, but to get more specific:

He had a lot of scars on his arms from all the IVs he'd had over time.

He also had a lot of scars on his knees (I like to think skateboarding was one of the few things he never lied about).

He didn't have any specific allergies, but he was obviously very sensitive to pollen, dust, and mold.

We know practically nothing about Liam except his IED, so here are some headcanons I like:

At age 7, he had his appendix removed, so before his transformation, he still had the scar from the operation.

He had serious trouble seeing up close, but he never wore glasses except at home for fear of being teased.

He could eat strawberries but not touch them without having an allergic reaction to his skin.

Corey's backstory is practically nonexistent, therefore:

He suffered from a form of anemia, so like Theo, he has many hospital scars (the bone marrow transplant, along with all the transfusions, made him a genetic chimera).

He suffered from mild color blindness for the color red (remember that thing about who you are affecting your transformation? Well, Corey is a chameleon).

He was severely allergic to wasps (now his supernatural healing at least prevents him from going into anaphylactic shock, but Mason still keeps an adrenaline pen in his car).

We definitely know about Hayden that she had some form of kidney failure, which led to the transplant (and thus the scars from the operation), but considering other small imperfections:

She still had a small scar on her nose from when Liam broke it.

She had many more moles before her transformation, but they've disappeared.

She was very sensitive to the cold, both as a human and as a chimera, while as a werewolf, she's always hot.

Some spins on the "mostly male team with a token woman" trope:

The woman is trans and stayed in her old circle of bros even after transition

The woman is the only one in her circle of "girls" who didn't turn out to be a trans man

!HELP A BROTHER OUT!

For a project I’ve been working on in which I mix a bunch of media that are just adjacent of each other in canon, in my opinion, I need a little assistance. One of the fandoms I’m bringing in is Monster High, this means I have the task of sort of merging G1 and G3 into one set of canon for my au. Because as much as I like G1 I’m no purest and I like some elements of G3 enough to carry it over. One glaring issue is Lagoona, she’s so vastly different in both she seems like two different characters. And while I could just go with G1 and call it a day, I LIKE G3 LAGOONA!! I think she’s pretty and while I haven’t watched the new show yet —I’ve only had time to watch the newer movies of which she was hardly a part— and therefore don’t know if there’s been any grievous changes in her personality I hold out hope she’s still a character I’d enjoy.

All this to say I’ve decided they are cousins, on their mother’s side (Sea Nymph side). With G1 Lagoona’s father being from the Great Scarier Reef, and G3 from the Caribbean (let a girl know if there’s some new canon about where she’s from). The last thing I need is a name! I’ve been trying to take some inspiration from her Latina heritage in making the name because obviously, c’mon now! And while I could just go with Laguna and call it a day, slightly different pronunciation and spelling, I imagine some families have done something similar with cousins. I was also thinking up other ones just in case that was too lazy, obvious, or plain stupid. One I really like was Océana, it sounded pretty and like an actual name to me. But my mami —an actual Spanish speaker— really doesn’t like it, for one because I changed the O in Océano to an A to better fit my girl and secondly she says no one would ever actually be named that, but who is named Lagoona? Point is I am leaning toward it but just wanted to ask around and see what y’all think.

Another thing to tackle would be the last name. Unfortunately —Sea Nymphs being female— they are related on their mother’s side meaning they shouldn’t share a last name. Now I could just cop out and go for the Océana Azul. But I don’t want to be lazy about this, I don’t want my girl to feel like something I brushed over. Only issue is there’s not much else I can think of for last name, a thought I had was Mar. So, like, Océana Mar. I think it sounds pretty, only thing is I am essentially naming her ocean ocean, or ocean sea, if you wanna get technical. And I dunno is it stupid for her name to be two synonyms? It’s not like the names in Monster High are crazily thought out. And again the only real help I have is my mami who thinks it’s stupid but says I should just do what I want anyway.

Opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

does it have to be human!?

I will never understand how some ppl have such little imagination that they can’t even suspend their disbelief long enough to watch a musical without asking why the characters are singing
