THIS SHIT IS A FRICKING WANT AND NEED!!!

Yk what, to whoever ships this to my house on or in the week of my by birthday, Mikasa coded, we're getting married in December JK IM KIDDING

BUT MANNN, WTAF 😭💀 This is $ 148.41 USD !!! (not american, just using the currency cuz its more common, and im not ready for a nationality reveal)

But yeah, it's a decent price... No, honey, IT'S NOT- Split down, the actual product contains 3 smol items and 2 big items (WITH EITHER BEING A FUGGIN SURPRISE PLUSHIE-) WHICH COSTS 16.67 AND THATS A GOOD ENOUGH AND DEFINITELY A GOOD COST FOR A HANDMADE AND THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED ORDER BUT MAN, THE SHIPPING COSTS $131.74 💀😭

Converted to our currency, that costs more than my dog's cremation package 🥹

This economy is so gah deym foul. So as transportation, indeed BUT THEY ARE UNDERPAID AS FUCK- Curse the greedy ass politicians who snatch up the cash and coins.

Overall, to the main root and cause, I want to just stabby stab pangaea. He was onto something divorcing a whole ass fixed island. I stan him coming out, after all, he's gae (LOL get it??) BUT THE FUDGING FACT THAT HE GOTTA START RACISM AND OVERTAXING, TOO??

The Protector and the Protected.

I really enjoy their dynamic in the IDW series. Leo, in particular. It feels like I’m reading a love letter for his character development and it’s gorgeous.

This song made me think of this version of him.

Again with fur coats

I'm sorry for irregular posting, I've been snowed under with my uni work lately ( Ó⁠╭⁠╮⁠Ò )

Nevertheless I'm always grateful for your support!!!!! ( ⁠＾⁠ω⁠＾)

Under the cut lots of thoughts on current manga arc (I've got no one to talk about it,...)

I like to imagine that in gangsta au they still use flip phones. But it got me thinking about how that universe works,... Are there any transnational corporations? Is history in general the same just with criminal elements?? Like there should be some sort of grand gang bang I and II if the United Districts organization exists (the analogy to the UN, of course). And the Big five is just the security council.

Moreover, in the same strip, the fall of the USSR is brought up as the permanent members of UD discuss whatever they should keep or kick out newly formed Russia (or district 7. It's cute that they call each other after the first number of the nation's phone code. One thing bothers me with this fact. What were the districts called before the invention of telephones? Countries received permanent telephone codes only in the mid-20th century. Or in terms of au the actual number of the district isn't connected with phones and just a number?? Another bit of useless info: Kazakhstan also uses +7; will they be [I doubt that they would make an appearance in au, but let me DREAM!!!] also a part of the whole district 7 like NA bros with district 1???). Buttttt I was talking from the perspective of our history being pulled over on the lore of gangstatalia, cause we don't have those events described in canon, which IS interesting!!!!!

Also, the sputnik was mentioned, which means the whole cold war (or at least the space race period) had happened... Um. Do districts own nuclear weapons? It's just a theory. a MANGA theory!

Considering in that the characters aren't probably immortal anymore (well, I can make that conclusion only from the panel with young Alfred literally saying, "oh so you're the representative of the 86th district? I'm the new representative of the 1!", it means... that there was someone before him ruling the district.............), the timeline of parallel events shortens.

Therefore, the events are closely packed together; there aren't gaps of decades between them, but more likely a couple of years.

How does this world work? Judging from the map, the districts are on a Pangaea-like continent. Or are they districts of some bigger country...?

Is there a ruler over all districts? Who is it then? Flying mint bunny? Tony? GRANPA RO-

Was there always the gangster's paradise in the regions, or was the government more authoritarian before??????? WHY IS CRIME THE NORM? Why did they decide to regulate everything with the help of playing cards?

And lastly. The electric collars. How? How did the idea even cross Alfred's mind? If I'm not mistaken he is, well, not the creater, but the person who suggested wearing them. "Let's fry our brains to crispy nuggets!!!" Haha. Fun.

And others in the big five agreed to it. Like that isn't totally bucknutty. Not at all. Electric chairs would be much better...

Oof my head hurts just thinking of it

Maybe I'm not the first one to ask these kinds of questions, but still. I need answers.

Usha is the second D20 character to be born on Pangaea

[patchwork-crow-writes]

Personally I've been assuming that there used to be one big Dark World, but that when Darkners were sealed away, this Dark World was... both shattered and put into stasis, or that time flowed differently there somehow. So in the unified Dark World, Darkners from different Dark Worlds could have a history--like King and Queen, or Spamton, Jevil, Mike, and Tenna. Creating a Dark Fountain does not revive the whole Dark World, only a small part, but who knows what happens when you take all those shattered pieces and gather them together...

Hey, I wonder what other thematically-relevant persons or hidden items or concepts with darkness might be described as 'shattered' which get explored more thoroughly in Deltarune than in Undertale. I wonder if reuniting the pieces of one or more other shattered things for Purposes. Oh well, I'm sure it's totally irrelevant.

Oooh, that's an interesting take, particularly with the notion of something being "shattered"... or someONE, I suppose, in the case of Gaster! It makes you wonder what would happen in the instance that all the parts are brought back together... hopefully nothing that might portend the end of the world or anything like that. Surely not :P

The idea of a big dark world that used to exist before is also really interesting to me - kind of like an alternate-dimension version of Pangaea. I would presume such a space would be entirely separate from the light world - i.e. not dependent upon overriding a location in the light world to exist - which would actually allow the various disparate characters from different worlds to have shared history. The way I'd see it working in this scenario is that each character - King, Queen, Mike, etc - would exist more as an idea or concept, that interrelates differently with other such concepts - so King and Queen would of course correlate in this way. Then when the classroom and librarby dark worlds were created, those concept-characters inhabited the objects that most closely correlated to the ideas they represented. In essence that would divorce (haha!) the darkner from its light-world object and allow that shared history to genuinely exist, which is kinda cool!

Always enjoy thinking and talking about this stuff, so thanks for sharing your perspective! Really interesting to see all the different theories swirling around right now :)

I don't usually post about One Piece (even if I would love to post about it more) but One Piece lately has been nothing but incredible & this latest chapter has reinforced that thought I had about this arc since it started...

...but the reason this time is different from seeing characters you haven't seen in years enter the action or taking the front stage in the story over the Straw Hats.

It's about this panel.

One Piece has never really been a scary manga, it has never scared me before until this panel. It is just terrifying to look at... We had great villains in OP before & for many different reasons but there hasn't been one villain (at least for me) that has been frightening just by the thought or sight of their mere presence like Im has. We know that they are the king of the world at this point, that is terrifying on it's own but that's not just what is terrifying here even if it still factors in the fear aspect of that panel.

No, what is terrifying here is that they look like a literal predator here, their eyes watching you (which are also very creepy looking), ready to strike at any point. Im unlike other villains so far, even the more powerful or serious ones in the series, means business, but like ACTUAL business. Like we had examples of what they are capable of, like what they did with Lulusia, they are deadly & you understand that very well. They want to stay in power & will go to any length possible to stay in that power. They even feel different from the Five Elders who are already threatening in their own way, Im doesn't look like they would make as much compromise or show mercy as the Five Elders could. They feel like a true threat in the story.

& the fact Im looks like a living shadow also plays in that aspect that they are untouchable and you can't quite get what they are. Are they even human or some other race or being in One Piece that we currently know ? It's just impossible to know because there is really no features from that character that can give us a hint about what they are. Almost supernatural in a way, and I don't mean that in a good way.

Im just gives me the creeps & you know the story is getting serious when they appear at some point in the story. & the fact we know Cobra died (which we know Im is definitely behind it now) yet I can still get frightened by their presence speaks level about Oda's talent as a storyteller.

Edit: To add to what I said:

The fact that some of the gards in the Pangaea Castle dissapear, clearly because of Im & in whatever room they were at the beginning of the Reverie, adds to the walking mystery aspect about them. No one apart from a very few people know about their existence or some people are straight up thinking it's a legend & all of it is not real. They are even a threat to their own allies or people serving under them.

Im has been there looming all over the story since the beginning, & the first hints of their existence was during the Dressrosra arc when Doflamingo was talking about the secrets he knew about the World Government. But there's probably other hints that Oda putted out there that we haven't even noticed yet... It lets you know how much influence they have on the story & how big of a deal they really are to be prepared for that long and for so many years by Oda.

Lady and the Tramp could take place somewhere in New England

The Fox and the Hound looks like it takes place in Appalachia, so maybe Pennsylvania or Virginia

Elsbeth (1.10) Reactions:

as always, spoilers under the cut ☺️

ANDRÉ DE SHIELDS!!! LAURA BENANTI!!

THIS EPISODE OF TV IS FOR MEEEE! <33

OH, YES. I absolutely adore that we’re not going to get the culprit straight off the bat. It’s a good and a welcome subversion

SKFJSJSKSJ, Elsbeth blaming her fashion sense on her knees. But also, that red ensemble is stunning.

Yay, Donnelly!!

Kaya calling Elsbeth because she knows she would want to see the festival up close. 😭

“Huh, have a hunch?” / “Ha, I usually do by now, don’t I? But I don’t.” And that thoroughly shocks Elsbeth herself. I really love that we’re getting to see her off-kilter and how it messes with her sense of self. Elsbeth KNOWS she’s damn good at what she does, and so when she’s off, she’s off.

wow, that pantsuit on Donnelly. 😍

“And because she’s good at it.” Kaya defending her gf. <33

NOT ELSBETH CRYING NO. I CAN’T TAKE IT!

NO!!!!

“Dont leave without saying goodbye.” You just kicked her off of the job she loves, man. You can’t say THAT to her too. 😭

“Can we still talk about the case?” / “um, I can’t really think about that right now.” Baby is too distraught to even think about solving high-profile homicides. :((

“Like combination nail polish and staple remover.” / “Sounds like a winner.” lmao

“And also in the healing power of the sun and certain textiles.” ALAKDJJAS, ELSBETH’S FACE

I love that Nadine is a dumbass.

Laura Benanti kissing Elsbeth’s cheek is the stuff of dreams!

The pawn owner giving a hyper specific definition of Pangaea lmfao. This show does throwaway jokes so well.

I could watch Donnelly, Kaya, and elsbeth forever. Best trio. Kaya and Donnelly’s deadpan humor just works so well as a foil to Elsbeth’s general cheeriness.

“I don’t respect it, but it works.” 🥺

Laura benanti is so hot

Aww, Nadine sharing cookies with Elsbeth!! Love that she unironically likes Elsbeth.

“I get hodgepodge and hot mess.” Don’t listen to them, sweetie. Ur a fashion icon.

Matteo making an Elsbeth inspired show!!!!! He gets it!!!!!!!!! I don’t even care if he’s the murderer!!!!!!! (He so totally is.) He gets it!!!!!!!!

Elsbeth’s reluctance immediately turning into eagerness when Matteo offers up Nadine as her fashion coach. I know what you are!

“And I saw your sports illustrated spread. That bathing suit totally showed your—“ ELSBETH GESTURING TO HER WHOLE MIDSECTION. HELP ME THAT IS SO FUNNY. I NEED A GIF OF THAT NOW

“Well, I can’t figure out everything for you, can I?” Gkdkskskwkwosk

“Now, remember, chin up.” [Nadine gently tilts Elsbeth’s chin.] god bless this show for its commitment to constructing such intimate moments of connection between Elsbeth and other women every single episode

Gonzo! Glad they brought her back.

Matteo: “That was twenty years ago… before Nadine had an accent.”

Dear god, the pangaea project ☠️

Elsbeth’s instincts being off because she’s upset about having to leave the precinct is such a nice touch. Oh, god, the way her voice goes all wobbly.

“I came here with an assignment from the Department of Justice and maybe you think I was wrong to accept that because you think you’re above blame, but I did my best to be fair, and you know, there was plenty of evidence that made you look bad.”

OH, perfect moment, writer’s room. It would have been so easy to let Elsbeth sit there and take the unfairness, but the fact that she stands up for herself is a fundamental truth of her character that we’ve seen time and time again throughout the season. She’s not a pushover. She’s not dumb. And she’s the furthest thing from weak.

And she will damn sure let you know it.

“Okay then. I guess you’re right, as you always are. My work here is done.” GET HIS ASS!!!

Kaya: “I’ll be there.” 😭

Kaya immediately turning back to Wagner. “What was she supposed to do?”

YES, I NEED THIS PERSONAL DRAMA! Up the stakes between the main characters! Give them deeply intimate things to fight for or to fight about!!

That Kaya/Elsbeth hug. 😭😭

Donnelly: “I never thought I’d say this, but I’m gonna miss you.” GKSKSKSK, Donnelly running away from her hug.

Matteo exuberantly pointing at Elsbeth and it immediately cutting to her looking like the saddest little kitten. 😭

Elsbeth, violently sobbing: “I don’t know. I think… I think I’ve lost my mojo.” OKAY, I HATE TO SEE HER CRY, but the angst lover in me is also enjoying this deeply.

Nadine trying to comfort her, stroking her arm. 🌈

MY FUCKING GOD LOOK AT KAYA. LOOK AT HOW HOT SHE IS. WHAT THE FUKC

THAT DRESSSSS AUWHGJA!

Wagner showing up to the fashion show, lmao. They filmed that like the end of The Parent Trap when the dad shows up at the end again.

“Oh, I wish I didn’t have to do this.”Elsbeth’s tenderness and compassion towards Matteo—(towards so many of the culprits)—is just stunning. Absolutely character defining.

“I’m old, darling. Time collapses.” Gorgeous way to put it.

Love the high drama of the whole Nick/Nadine/Ezra/Matteo story.

For Good Wife/Fight fans, was Celetano a character over there, or is he a new invention?

Elsbeth and Laura Benanti still hanging out!!!

“… but actually, they’re far worse than what I imagined.” QLLQOQKWOEKDMSKW

“Thank you for teaching me how to notice things… and for being my friend.” 😭 Oh, that little break in Kaya’s voice.

Elsbeth grabbing her hands. 😭😭

“I know a bunch of people died, but we did have a lot of fun.” / “Yeah.” this is the fun of Kaya and Elsbeth, too, that they have an ungodly amount of fun solving gruesomecrimes.

ELSBETH GETTING AN OFFICE! YAYAYAYAY! KAYA EXCITED ABOUT BEING OUTSIDE OF ELSBETH’S OFFICE! KAYA GOING TO BE A DETECTIVE!! ELSBETH AND KAYA SO EXCITED TOGETHER! WAH!!

final thoughts on the finale: oh, this was such a wonderful episode—I had a goddamn blast.

I really hate to say it because I think the howcatchem gimmick is what makes Elsbeth structurally unique as a procedural, but not knowing the culprit worked for me so well for me in this episode. It was fun to piece it together with her, and even to watch her struggle a bit as she dealt with other stressors. That was all great—I felt both grounded in Elsbeth’s emotional state and invested in the case as it gradually unfolded. André and Laura were excellent guest stars! They understood the Elsbeth assignment of high camp fnekdnsns. Carra Patterson and Wendell Pierce were fantastic as always, too, but I have to admit, I wish the Wagner corruption plot had been more interesting in general.

(He was never ever going to be the antagonist, but having it be Noonan felt a little anticlimactic after all the cool set up. 😭 I sort of wish we’d gotten one last quiet moment between Elsbeth and Wagner to talk about it, too.)

looking ahead, I’m so, so excited for what Elsbeth has in store. Carrie Preston is just a delight, from start to finish. There is a high chance I’m going to start binging TGW/F soon just to get a chance to see her at the start. :’)

I really hope that S2 leans into more of the elements that made the finale such a treat—like not being afraid to shake up the formula and playing to personal drama/stakes/moments between the central cast. They’re all gorgeous characters, and I desperately want to know more about their internal lives, and share some of those tiny, unseen moments with them. and if that means sacrificing some of the screen space that would have originally been used to get to know a culprit better, I think that’s absolutely okay from time-to-time. <3

But overall, Elsbeth has genuinely and quickly become one of my favorite new finds of 2024. It’s fun and clever. It doesn’t take itself seriously, which I think is crucial to the DNA of the show. And yet, it has such a big heart at its core, which is what gives it life.

I’m going to miss it sm while it’s on hiatus!! Thursdays just got a whole lot duller.

[fifty-ten]

anyways I was thinking about my OCs so I'm "doing it scared" (scared isn't quite accurate, but whatever) and posting about them real quick. specifically i want to talk about land-sea-sky mailcarriers today

landseasky is about a year old now (a little over I think) but it's solidified into something that feels really fun so that makes me happy. it's kind of difficult to know what to say about it though in a way that includes enough context to make it understandable? the basic concept is that it's something similar to PMD (specifically it's made to be the "opposite" to my personal PMD canon - gti was my first game so my canon is based around the concept of the pmd pokémon world being an alternate universe to the human world (that also has pokémon in it) but i also really really like how some of rescue team's locations imply pmd's world might be some kind of post human society. so i wound up incorporating that concept into LSS ^-^) and the focus is on a trio of mailcarriers who wind up doing odd jobs for the people they make deliveries to, so it creates for an episodic format that also lets them meet different characters and explore a lot of places. which is especially good for figuring out what the world's like and stuff and how the main trio reacts to different situations

the reason it's called landseasky (mailcarriers) is because the world uses an elemental typing system based around the land, sea, and sky. the current primary inhabitants of the world are creatures who can use abilities based on the land, sea or sky & the world's remaining landmasses also represent these elements (the world's split kind of cleanly into 3 parts, intended to be like a super scuffed pangaea proxima? that's kind of the idea, anyways.). so that combined with the post-human world concept is part of what makes LSS really cool - the underlying lore idea is that humans disappeared in a cataclysm a few centuries ago (accounts wildly vary - there's some that say that the great dragon (deity) killed humanity for their hubris, that the creatures killed humanity, that humanity killed each other, etc) and the creatures currently inhabiting the world used to be the mon-type monster partners of humanity. so the kind of void space left by humanity is kind of subtly felt even when they're just working at a café for the day after delivering ingredients or something. it's not necessarily the main focus of the story (at least up to a certain point) but it's in the backdrop.

so like I mentioned the world is split evenly into land, sea, and sky and there's not a ton of intermingling between these environments & the creatures that live in them (so land creatures only live on the land, sea creatures only live in the sea, sky creatures only live in the sky). (though I'm not entirely sure why yet). and there's also a smaller continent in the center of all three enviroments where there is actually a variety of creatures. so the mail system of each biome is mostly self-contained but packages to another biome have to go through the central post office in the central continent. but eventually the postmasters (one for each biome) decide to get a little crazy with it and form a group of three creatures from each biome, dubbing it the "through it all" initiative (a reference to the "through rain or wind or snow" thing). and that's how the protagonist trio comes together

i'm using creatures to refer to the characters' species but it could also be monsters or something similar. just something that evokes non-humaness but also not completely animal-ness. tho rn their designs are mostly just like cartoon animals but I do want to get a little sillier with it… I'm just not quite sure how yet.

and i could talk more about it but it's already far too late for when i have to get up… 😊

[finlin000]

A little bit of oc posting :)))

Character info:

Name: Dr Shu Alam.

Scientist, explorer, political mastermind, and Dragon all in one. She participated in tbe illegal capture and experimentation on Soul catchers (a rare species of native creatures, not dissimilar to centaurs) which ultimately lead to their presumed extinction. After the events of Ventutre (a deadly apocalyptic style wave of radiation thaf decimated a majority of the planet) Shu was taken under the wing of Soullis (the God of light) and became an devote preacher of their word, unaware of tbe atrocities they committed against her own species hundreds of years prior.

Dragons once roamed the continent of Pangaea, they were loved, worshipped and feared. They had special abilities, bestowed to them apon hatching. Each dragon was gifted one unique ability, Shu was no different, apart from the fact that she hatched from the largest egg in centuries.

She has consumed her 2 sibling's gifts in the egg, and she was hailed as the messiah for it, her gifts of shapeshifting, heightened intelligence and immortality made her formidable, unstoppable and terrified.

Shu roams Almaaz. X as the last remaining dragon, a force no beast could kill wiped out the entire remaining tribe and in a single night, Almaaz. X lost it's most dangerous creatures.

Shu is by no means a morally good character, in my eyes she's deeply flawed, she doesn't trust, she's scared of vulnerability and she is not easy to reason with, she had a hand in wiping out generations of history, while tbe guilt haunts her, she knows she cannot be forgived.

Her blind faith in Soullis was made not out of true unwavering conversion, but out of desperation. She was (not in recent story) easy to manipulate and she was fragile.

She's probably the most interesting character I have, her story is deep and her motivations are almost unknown, she's crazy dangerous and she's not afraid to show off - however she's scared, frightened of the world, young (if you count 728 being young) and terrified and I love her :3

[tag-that-oc]

sometimes a family is a sentient anthro volcano who is from basically before the equivalent of Pangaea in this universe split, and her 3 basically adopted children at this point: a sentient anthro self conscious cactus, a anthro sentient grumpy sunflower, and a 13 ft tall sweet robot who almost died and who also almost killed the volcano by accident and is the child of a god (their actual parent) and all of these characters are based off of characters from a moblie game

very original! :o

[lookslikethatsallthetimewehave]

Is there an answer in the game for the origin store behind the different islands, and who or what created them, and if Poptropica has a ruler or nah. What's the origin story is what I'm asking

The game itself does not... provide many answers, because the focus is on the individual stories. They do all take place on the same planet at least.

If you want me to give you a breakdown:

Poptropolis Games Island was released in 2012. The description:

"The Poptropolis Games have returned! Once every 100 years, the ancient capital of Poptropica — Poptropolis — rises from the sea to host a tournament created to prove tribal supremacy. Each of the tribes of Poptropica sends a representative to compete across a series of grueling events for a chance to become the Champion of Poptropica."

The island sunk back down, and rose back up in 2013.

Poptropica: Forgotten Islands is a DSI game released in 2013. The description: 

“It will take you on a journey to discover the secrets of Poptropica’s buried past, one artifact at a time. Explore new islands, meet new characters, and take to the skies in a powered-up blimp that gains new abilities as you play! With each new island group, you'll uncover the hidden history of Poptropica's forgotten islands.” - Poptropica Creator's Blog

A proper description of this:

"Poptropica started out as a single landmass. Then a series of cataclysmic battles between giants and monsters took place in an attempt to rule the great land. However, no clear winner emerged. Instead, the beasts’ great power caused the very land they were fighting for to crumble beneath them, triggering what became known as the Great Flood. It would be this flood that would create the islands of Poptropica as they are known today. The original Poptropicans who inhabited the landmass prior to the flood fled underground to escape the destruction, where they emerged many years later as the Mabaya. Poptropicans from distant lands then landed on their islands, who called themselves the Trinity Syndicate.

The Syndicate attempted to colonize these lands which escalated into a war between the groups, and during this war, monks set out to protect the artifacts that would allow the aforementioned history to be documented. The war ended in a Mabaya victory, enticing the Syndicate to flee back to their lands in an attempt to save their pride. But they were forced to make peace with their enemies and remain inhabitants on the islands when they learned that their own people, wretched with greed, were unwilling to take them back. Later, pirates arrived on these islands who ironically attacked the Syndicate themselves, when they were saved by a young hero (the player)."

Idk.

Around 2014, there was a Poptropica cartoon planned to be made, which was meant to explain the origin of Poptropica.

Unfortunately, the cartoon wasn't picked up. So they had to condense an entire cartoon to 12 graphic novels, each storyline having 4 parts.

Only the first part (the first 4 books) were made, because of executive meddling, haha...

The explanation in the novels (which was originally planned for the cartoon):

So, all of the information together: 

Poptropolis Games: 

Poptropolis is the ancient capital of Poptropica. 

It's the only known island with a consistent rising and sinking period. 

Unlike other islands, Poptropolis doesn't return to its original timeline when it sinks. 

Forgotten Islands:  

The planet used to consist of one giant landmass, similar to Pangaea.

After a long war between giant powerful creatures, the landmass broke into many pieces, forming the islands. 

Poptropica novels:

The islands are moments from different timelines that become separated from their universes. 

The islands appear in Poptropica because there's something in those moments that needs to be righted. 

The nexus is the center of time, and is the one that controls the islands.

My interpretation:

The Greek Mythology timeline- aka the one where Mythology Island and Poptropolis Games Island come from- is the original/main timeline. 

Poptropolis Games Island is the ancient capital of Poptropica, so it can be assumed that it was the first island, and/or from the main timeline. Not only that, but it's the only island known to not return to its timeline when it sinks. That's because it's already in it.

The Aegis, a giant time crystal statue that the Protectors use to control the islands, is named after the shield from Greek myth that belonged to Zeus and Athena. 

The entire plot of the graphic novels revolves around an event from ancient Greece. 

The origin of Poptropica according to Poptropica: Forgotten Islands is told through ancient artifacts that humans created, so this is all from their perspective.

In reality, the "giants" are actually Gods, and the "monsters" are actually Titans.

Within Forgotten Islands, the “monsters” described are actually just dinosaurs. The giants and their skeletons could be the Hecatonchires, who helped the Gods fight the Titans. 

"The war between the Titans and the Olympians forged the landscape of the mortal world. It was a war that we knew the Titans must win. If we lost, it would put an end to the golden age of the Titan rule. Peace and prosperity for mankind would be no more." -Atlas

He wasn't kidding.

The war ended when Zeus stole Kronos’ own scythe, and cut him apart with his own scythe. He threw his remains into Tartarus.

Kronos is the god of time (among other things) , and him being cut up into little bits is what caused the timeline (landmass) to split, creating the multiverse. 

Before, the nexus was a completely smooth cave, with no fractures. But after Kronos and the timeline broke, it fractured. 

Um… yeah, to make a long story short: Kronos getting pulverized is what created the multiverse, and the nexus bringing islands to Poptropica is his subconscious attempt to fix something broken.

There's a taur in your header!

yeah!!! I love taurs so much,, they literally give me life!! here's a greatest hits list of taur art I've gotten of my characters

these are both by @swztch and relatively recent!

There's this one too, and I feel really bad that I don't remember and can't find who drew this... it's from 2017 though, I know that much!

And this one was done by my good friend @theguywith-ahat a little while back

And this one was done as part of a fun lil sketchpage by my other friend @pangaea-reunion

and finally, this super duper good cowboy taur pic from @skdaffle

Hiya! 📕 :D?

*giggles and twirls my hair* hehehe— WAIT WHICH DO I PICK TO TALK ABOUT

uhhh les go with the genshin/bnha crossover NOT dimension travel ^^

so basically— au where teyvat is just bnha’s pangaea and the archons are bare legends and stuff if anything. im leaning towards a no traveler au but either way it doesnt matter

sometime after the genshin plot is all done and over with, the leylines start drying up, the archons go dormant, people stop getting visions, etc etc until eventually it gets into prequirk era, and then quirk era and bnha plot. SOME genshin people are still around, and technically the archons are hibernating but they have little ‘graves’/shrines and whoevers still around visits them

this isnt really a full fleshed story fjkdbdj mostly an excuse to have crossover interactions while keeping the canon backstories in the same world sortof thing. and more emotional competency. yknow crossover fics where characters from different fandoms are friends bc of some similarity/shared backstory? yeah <3

note that i havent watched/read bnha at all, i just read a lot of fic

specifics under the cut

main highlights are:

xiao and hawks. they both are birds and were ‘enslaved’ (xiao and his former master, hawks and the heros commission) they both they. them

in this verse xiao is still around and suppressing whatever karma he finds. at some point baby hawks-keigo’s dad gets inflicted with karma and xiao stops it, finds keigo and takes him in. little baby keigo growing up with xiao-ge around stories of the archons and duty and legends oughdjsn. eventually keigo decides he wants to rejoin society and become a hero so xiao drops him somewhere to be found by authorities. once he gets his own apartment or something they start meeting more regularly again.

>side fic thingy where canon hawks travels to this verse. at this point keigo has graduated whatever hero school he went to and is a ta at ua. they are the same age. cue weird interactions where hawks is unnerved by everyone knowing his birthname and acting familiarly. on the reverse end everyone else (ua staff) is having complicated feelings about the very suspicious circumstances of the 23?yo that is somehow a fully fledged hero with the commission. at some point keigo gets xiao and hawks to meet and they have some vague complicated talk about being trapped by circumstances, freedom, etc

wanderer and izuku. idk something something the shared sentiment of being considered useless and abandoned for it but still striving to prove their worth yadayada.

im not entirely certain on how they meet but i kindof want izuku getting lost and stumbling upon ei and makoto’s graves while wanderer’s there. at this point wanderer is much more at peace with ei and her grief over makoto and etc and ends up telling izuku about the inazuma shoguns. izuku is charmed and wanderer gets conned into visiting him and telling him stories

idk i just feel like izuku would have feelings about raiden shogun considering: two equals who ruled a whole nation together ~ him and bakugou wanting to become heroes together. the idea of being an irreplaceable one of two, something like that

albedo is around but is mostly secluded in some underground lab maybe. he goes out sometimes for lab data but usually its for art breaks. sometime quirk era he gets accidentally arrested somehow for not having documents. later it gets sorted out and he gets publicly put down as having an immortal quirk or something. they dont know hes a homunculus tho, albedo doesnt volunteer any information so they only end up recognizing him by his artist penname, calx

some adepti/adepti-blooded are still around, as well as some ghosts. they live mostly in some pocket dimension that cloud jumper somehow managed to keep maintained. idk who exactly is around. hu tao is definitely a ghost but only to haunt the other ghosts into passing over

i know nothing about pokemon but tell us about the oc!!!

Editing this to put it under the cut bc it is a LONG post whoops

okay so one thing to establish right out the gate is that I am even more inconsistent in Elly’s lore than dc is with their canon so this will all be subject to change the second I get dlc/a new game/really anything

But that aside!

She’s from my own fakemon region (based on Pangaea, I named it Pantoria) but her moms are from Kanto and Paldea. Her first mom’s name is Lucy and is a former Kanto and Johto champion, whereas her other mom’s name is Illumina, though during her trainer days she was known as Illumina La Serena, and she was a Kalos Champion and has also achieved the Champion rank in Paldea. So right off the bat Elly has already been raised alongside some pretty strong Pokémon and battlers.

Lucy moves to Galar temporarily for work and takes Elly with her, and then Elly befriends Hop and they take on the Gym challenge together. She picks Sobble, and names him Lulo. Then everything goes wrong but they save the day and she catches Eternatus. Her mom, who also caught a legendary at age ten, is unfazed. Largely bc Lucy caught Mewtwo, though she had since chosen to release them.

Then comes the post game, where Elly also catches Zacian. Hop decides to become a Pokémon professor and they have their little dlc adventures, and Elly catches even more legendary Pokémon in the Crown Tundra. Lucy’s sister Johanna (who is actually the mom in brilliant diamond but I chose to change that) takes her in for a bit so she can see the sinnoh region, and all of that happens. (I haven’t actually finished brilliant diamond but I have an idea of what happens). While she’s in Sinnoh Arceus decides that she’s the perfect candidate to send back in time to save the world.

So now she’s in Hisui, with no memories, and she gets a Rowlet that she names Dart. Dart does not evolve into the Decidueye Elly felt that she should have expected, but hey, she has no memories anyway, so who is she to question anything?

She fixes all the problems with the frenzied lord and lady pokemon, then survives for a bit in the wild, and clears her name, AND saves the world. And then she meets arceus, who returns her home, though she is allowed to return to Hisui when she wants (bc im a sucker for friendships and I can’t just leave them behind. Also she literally catches Dialga. The time god).

Of course, there’s no time to process this, bc it’s time for school! Summers over, kids. She goes back to Illumina in Paldea and is enrolled in Naranja Academy, where she (you guessed it) saves the world and becomes a champion rank trainer. Nowadays, with the treasure hunt over for her, she publishes an online Pokémon fact magazine with hop, hangs out with her paldean school friends, and time travels back to Hisui sometimes to show Laventon future pokedexes.

All that’s left now is for her to become a Champion in Pantoria! Unfortunately, Pantoria is absolutely massive, bc I decided since my region was fake there was no point cutting corners about it, and has a gym for Every Type. And then extra, if you thought that was too easy. And there’s new types. And there are requests, and every kind of mini activity to complete. There’s also a rough estimate of 600+ characters to befriend, if I did my maths right, based on the amount of towns and other things in the region. So currently Elly is on that adventure, on which she invited all of her friends from present-day games. What could possibly go wrong?

Also wow I didn’t think I was writing that much. Elly has lore, and then she has LORE. she’s my little guy <3
