#Interesting thought

[enormous-moose]

Woke up with a silly thought but then it started to make sense so hear me out.

"Holy cow" is the Norse pagan equivalent to the Christian "holy mother of God."

[lets-try-some-writing]

I got something cuz i got inspired from your writing about Cron

"Unicron is a carrion eater.

He eats sick and dead planets.

He's not a destroyer nor chaos bringer.

He is Death.

He tends to the dead"-[???] of [?] Confiscated destroyed archives about Unicron.

"Unicron is a celestial being that consumes decaying planetary matter. He is not a harbinger of destruction or chaos, but rather a force of inevitable demise. As such, he is responsible for the maintenance of deceased celestial bodies."-Unknown author of seized and expunged documents on Unicron.

Hmm another one maybe

"Unicron is a celestial being that feasts upon the decaying remnants of planets past their prime.He should not be classified as a harbinger of destruction or chaos.Rather, he embodies the concept of mortality itself, acting as a caretaker for the lifeless remnants of celestial bodies."-Anonymous source from the purged archives detailing encounter with Unicron.

Imagine archivist Orion somehow finding or stumbling upon datapad about true nature of so called Unmaker.. 👀

Anyone feel free to use

Well hello interesting concept!

I actually really like this take. Primus makes, and Unicron cleans up the mess so that new things can come in his wake. He likely takes great pride in his work so that everything should go as it should. Who knows, maybe him and Primus actually get along since there would be little reason for the vacuum cleaner to attack the local gardener.

would any sirenians be able to reproduce with unaltered human beings and create viable offspring?

naur I wouldn't say so, there may be fertilisation but any pregnancy would not be successful and would likely self-abort or be resorbed. the very different gestation periods already make it a bit of a nonstarter without getting into the different mineral requirements a sirenian foetus needs to develop properly (lots of silicon)

I have had a discussion with @dagdasgoddess and it's kind of an interesting thought.

Why is it that in humans, the natural order has been reversed like this? In nature, we all know that women are a precious resource, for only they can give birth to the next generation. That is why in almost all species, the males are the ones competing for a female - by being as pretty as possible, preening themselves, learning mating dances and elaborate rituals and sometimes even risking their very lives (Iike in mantises).

Yet in humans, there was a reversal at some point that doesn't seem to mesh with our animalistic, primal nature. Here, instead of the men competing for women by being as pretty as possible, suddenly it has become the women's task to be beautiful and be pretty and desirable. Entire multi-billion dollar enterprises profit off of this reversal, advertising all manner of beauty products and even operations to women, just so they can find an often sub-par man who could never match up to the woman's beauty. It has fostered an entitlement in men leading to incels thinking that even if they are basement dwellers, women are supposed to fall for them.

We even see that in some social engineering going on. Have you ever wondered why in most anime, the male protagonist looks like the most generic dude while all the women are flashy and pretty, with big boobs and colored hair in elaborate styles? If animals made anime, it would be the other way around - generic women with flashy, pretty men, just as nature intended.

This is why I hate this argument I have seen in countless fandoms - "the man is very pretty so HE MUST BE GAY". NO. Why are we linking pretty men with gayness so automatically? Why are fujoshis insisting that every pretty man wants to fuck other men just because he actually cares to cultivate his beauty? Why are fandoms hating on hetero ships/selfships so much or saying that women shouldn't lust over pretty fictional men? When this is, in fact, a return to nature in a way? Women are SUPPOSED to choose the prettiest man available, because it indicates good genetics.

I think that we as humans should return to nature - accept that men can look pretty for us, and that maybe they could use some beauty products as well without being automatically labeled as gay or unmanly. Maybe guys also want to get dolled up and go to a beauty salon for a spa day! Wanting to do that has nothing to do with their sexuality.

In conclusion: I wish Fandom police would accept that selfships with pretty men are NATURAL. If you are crushing on a pretty guy, don't be guilt-tripped by Fandom into believing you are doing something wrong or morally reprehensible. If you want your self-insert to be plain, just do it! I guarantee you your pretty men will still love you!! And don't let the internalized misogyny that some fujoshis project outwards affect you! Be free and be yourself!

Alright curious thought… what if Chad was Ghostface with Ethan!?!?!

I’m going to let you guys think about that.

What will your OC take to the grave?

oh, this is actually tricky considering it could be hundreds upon hundreds of years before alina dies. or more or less depending... but very unlikely will it be less without plotting of someone who can manage to kill/overpower her. so that's a lot of time for new things to develop that she would take to the grave as well as for her to release anything on her mind or chest... so i think the best answer here is that i'm not sure in terms of a secret. both in that i don't know what that secret is or if she even has one. alina's actually pretty open and honest for the most part. not that she goes up to everyone and explains who and what she is... and she does tend to withhold that information from humans for as long as possible, but her goal is for a human she cares for to actually know and accept her. so she can't keep it to herself forever if she wants her mission to succeed. one thing she will always have, though... love for eden. no matter who she falls for next... like say with douxie... she will always carry that love for eden still. her love for the current partner will be stronger and special in its own way, but it's hard to deny that eden was vital to her path in life. without eden, alina most likely would have given up what she's doing by now and just joined her mom. eden was the right person at the right time, and reminded alina she she isn't just a creature of instinct like her mom. ...well. she is. but not as bad. alina has compassion and control in ways kasmira doesn't. she doesn't always use this for good, but she does more so that she might have thanks to eden. and she's still experiencing life and driving forward. so, yeah. she'll always carry that little piece of love for eden even centuries later.

You the type to go to gloryhole?

Im curious if I seem like the type since you ask😅

[problemnyatic]

can we talk about how being so pants-shittingly terrified of Doing A Racism you freeze up or Get Weird around anyone a shade darker than the sugar in your cupboard or with an accent is effectively the same as being scared of brown people and doesn't make you much better than Sandra Lilly Smith from the suburbs who clings her purse when a black guy gets on the elevator with her

I am adopting this headcanon! It's mine now!

My headcanon about Arthur's mortality (or how I think he was able to survive before Merlin came to Camelot)

"(The griffin is a creature of magic.) It is born of magic, sire, and it can only be killed by magic." - Gaius, S1E5

Alright, since Merlin is trending again for no reason I'll share one of my lastest headcanons I came up with during my last Merlin rewatch.

There was something about this line from Gaius and the way the camera then directly pans out to Arthur that made me think of an interesting headcanon that would explain how Arthur managed to survive so long without Merlin.

You see, according to this logic, because he was born of magic, Arthur can only be killed by magic (or weapons forged by magic *winkwink*). So he could never really die from simple illnesses or battle wounds unless those were directly inflicted by magic. And, since Uther started the purge against magic right after Arthur was born, he probably wouldn't have had much contact with it in his early years (at least until he became a knight and started going out on quests, raids, etc).

That would explain why (much like Merlin) he seems able to endure so many injuries (broken ribs, poisoned arrows, etc) that other knights can't. (I mean, just the fact that this man didn't sustain some severe brain damage from all the times he's been knocked out is impressive lol)

What I'm saying is that being born of magic must have given him some sort of endurance that other mortals don't have, because by Gaius' logic the circumstances of his birth in itself made him a sort of creature of magic (just like Merlin).

It would also make for a good Canon divergence fic in which this was the reason that made Uther start the purge in the first place (to protect his son from the only thing that could kill him)...and it can get even more angsty if you add in the fact that Merlin is literally magic itself, but I digress.

Anyway, I'm probably reading way too much into this. I doubt the writers would've thought so far ahead as to put foreshadowing so early on in the series. But I just thought it was an interesting headcanon and just another fun parallel between Merlin and Arthur.

I read someone on here saying that this would have happened to Caitlyn at least once and - I strongly agree
