#He has to be

just read this week’s chapters and i’m one HUNDRED percent hopping on the “Adolin is going to be Odium’s champion” train

You know, I just have one question in relation to Interview with the Vampire. Did anyone maim and kill Bruce?

Because hear me out, these vampires, murder is their middle name. And then when it comes to Louis, Lestat and Claudia specifically, they're family-oriented vampires on top of that. They're protective of each other.

So now, here we have Claudia, Louis' and Lestat's daughter, who has been raped by this bastard of a vampire and you want to tell me none of these murderous, family-oriented vampires conspired to maim and kill him? Really? I don't buy it.

They are so awesome sauce. I’m gonna eat them :3

Oh...One second then, let me plate them up for you then-

[ham1lton]

We can go back and forth about who the worst is at eating pussy.. but I think we can ALL agree that Lewis is 100% the best at it!

Abbey by Mistki as Jean. He is something, surely he was born something, surely he had to have been somebody at some time. He’s hungry, god, he’s starving, when will he stop kneeling, when will he be something, when will his feet touch the ground, when will his breaths mean something. Anything.

finally opening arceus again and my friend told me to go to the top of the mountain again for a legendary i need for my dex and. i have a quest saying meet volo up there. does this mf have a LEGENDARY??? the little guy i’ve been shitting on the whole game????

i know giratina is in this game, and i dont have one yet, so…. did volo enslave the devil???????

Imagine if when CX2 is revealed who he is and it actually is tech, Wrecker gets his depression arc??? What if Wrecker tries to go off on his own to save Tech, since he definitely blames himself and needs to make this right? What if Wrecker ends up getting shot/badly hurt while trying to capture Tech to find a way to get him back? WHAT IF TECH REALIZES THAT THATS HIS LITTLE BROTHER AND HE SNAPS OUT OF IT TO SEE WRECKER BLEEDING ON THE GROUND UNCONSCIOUS???

Ok, time to be a nerd about AR.

Genetic talk under the cut.

How Alux has his powers is purposely vague for the sake of the story, but that won't stop me theorizing how he has them!

Ok, if we are going off of the idea that the magic system in AR is genetic to a degree, since as of currently of what we know, non-magic users seem incapable of learning or performing magic without magic capabilities, then I decided to calculate the likely hood of Alux being a magic user based off of Mendelian Genetics. (Note: This is 9th grade level Biology. This will not be sophisticated.)

I've already ruled out Codominance and Incomplete Dominance, as with the magic phenotype, it wouldn't really matter. Doesn't matter if a person is half magic user, it will just look like they are a magic user no matter what, since with Codominance and Incomplete Dominince, both traits being applied would appear to some degree. (In this case, just the ability of use of magic since the other gene is the lack thereof)

Codominance and Incomplete Dominance could* play a role in *when* a mixed non-magic magic users abilities appear, or how strong their powers are, which Alux could be, but when one discovers their abilities they are then from now on considered a magic user, so the point of extra calculation is kinda moot.

Now, onto the Punnet Squares!

Here is the set of Punnet Squares if, hypothetically, the gene for Magic abilities is a dominant trait. (Meaning it overides the hypothetical recessive trait of non-magic abilities and the offspring of the parents would be more likely to show that dominant trait.)

In this hypothetical, in order for Alux to be a Magic user, he would need at least one dominant Magic user gene from at least one of his parents.

Meaning his genotype would be either:

MM or Mm

Now, in this hypothetical, let's assume Elric is not a Magic user since there's no implication for him to be one, so his genotype would be:

mm

A purebred recessive. Meaning Alux's mother would have to at least have one dominant Magic user trait.

Either:

MM or Mm, same as Alux.

There are two possible Punnet Squares to represent the two possible genetic outcomes of this paring of Elric and Alux's Mother.

mm × MM

or

mm × Mm

mm × MM (MM × mm shown in the drawing) having a 100% chance, or 4:0 ratio of potential offspring being a magic user to non-magic user.

And mm × Mm having a 50% chance, or 2:2/1:1 ratio of potential offspring being a magic user to non-magic user.

To put it simply, in one possibility, Alux's mother would be a purebred Magic user, with Alux having a 100% chance of being a Magic user, no matter what,

While in another possibility, Alux's Mother was a hybrid/mix of Magic and non Magic, and Alux would have had a 50% chance of being a magic user.

Now, for the second set of Punnet Squares.

In the hypothetical of the Magic user gene being recessive (meaning it is overiden by the dominant trait, and requires two recessive genes to appear in the phenotype),

Alux would need two recessive traits to be a Magic user, with his genotype being:

nn

Here, both of his parents would have to be carrying at least one recessive trait, and if we still assume Elric is a non Magic user, then their genotypes would be:

Nn × Nn

Nn × nn

Nn × Nn had a 75% chance, or 3:1 ratio to Non-Magic to Magic users. (Giving Alux a 25% chance of being a magic user).

Nn × nn had a 50% chance, or 2:2/1:1 ratio of Non-Magic users to Magic users. (Giving Alux a 50% chance of being a magic user)

In one possibility, Alux had 25% chance of being a Magic user, while the other, he had a 50% chance of being Magic user.

Now, we already know Alux is a Magic user. Doing these calculations was more to find out what Alux's parent's possible genotypes were.

This depends on the likelihood of whether or not the Magic user gene is dominant or recessive in Cozen.

If it was dominant, then Alux had a 50-100% chance of being a Magic user, while if it were recessive, then Alux would have a 25-50% chance of being a Magic user.

With how Cozen is, it's most likely that Cozens Magic gene trait is recessive.

Now, I could be wrong on some parts, as there are things we don't fully know. We don't fully know if Alux's mother was or is a magic user. And so Alux's Magic gene trait would have to come from Elric if he secretly was and we didn't know that.

Maybe neither Elric nor Alux's mom were magic users or mix with, and instead, Alux had inherited his magical powers through different means. Either it be a curse, divine intervention, the necklace, or something else. We just wouldn't know.

And this is also why I'm really excited for the next few ep of AR, since through a leak, a new character is stated to know how Alux has his powers.

This was just a fun hypothetical since we don't fully know if the Magic system in AR is genetic or not, so take this entire post with a grain of salt for theorizing. :p

sorry but now I am enraptured by the thought of william miles post desmond having the balls and gaul to even get funky downtown and managed to accidentally create a baby with a woman who’d at least be like what? 20 almost 30 years younger than him? 😭

The William Miles Gets A Woman Knocked Up Grieving Desmond’s Death idea for those curious.

Okay…

He supposedly left the Brotherhood 6 months after Desmond’s death and there’s no info on what he did during that time. The next time he’s ‘seen’, it was in 2014 when he returned to the Brotherhood but he was sorta-kinda still hiding and hard to contact, finally fully returning to the role of mentor in 2015.

So this means we got around 1 and a half year for Bill to go on his grieving bender (more if we want to believe Bill would sleep around while he’s working ‘part time’).

According to CDC’s birth rates by age groups, at around 2013 to 2014, the highest age group is from 25-29. The next highest age group is actually 30-34.

Why is this important?

Bill was born around 1948, making him 64 when Desmond died, 64~66 from 2013 to 2014.

Meaning that there’s a possibility that the woman Bill knocked up may actually be 40ish years younger than him. XD

I’ll give you guys my number one reason why I think the Stepmother is a Warlock whose patron is Rumplestilskin just to prove this isn’t a crackpot theory:

1. The loss of her name.

Idk if any of you guys have read Rumplestiltskin, but that story perfectly details the power of names. After all, knowing his name is the only thing that allows the Miller’s Daughter to break the curse.

And so when I heard Donal go “she had a name before that but now none of us can remember what it was” my mind instantly clocked Rumplestiltskin as her potential patron. The Stepmother clearly wanted some form of power after seeing what the Fairy Godmother did to Cinderella and I think cannibalizing her daughters—her firstborns—was the key to calling him forth and asking for that power. In exchange, she had to shed her name the way Rumple did.

Because as we saw from Pinocchio’s flashback…names have power. And often times in fairytales especially, they’re used to break curses and stop the bad guys.

So yeah, the Stepmother is absolutely a Warlock of Rumplestiltskin, or at least was granted power by him or through him.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE A HAHA SILLY FUNNY EPISODE. THERE ARR GUYS KILLING PEOPLE. CIVILIANS ARE CRYING AND SCREAMING. ASHE IS BLEEDING OUT ON THE FLOOR OF THIS TRAIN AND GASPING FOR AIR. WHAT THE FUCK

[solarismp3]

Is asap rocky bisexual

[buckleys9-1-1]

so we all collectively agree that if bobby dies tim minear is paying for all of our therapy bills right?

[tired-twili]

Finally finished Dishonored so now I can move onto dishonored 2 :') my little baby is going off to kill ppl :')
