#and people tend to lie

[pjowasmy1stfandom]

This is something I should probably save for when I'm not supposed to be asleep. Ce' la vie or whatever

I've been wondering about what exactly Morro did to deserve getting banished to the Cursed Realm bc why not. Anyway, I have a headcanon as to how he got there exactly (taken from an amazing fic I'll probably talk about later) but I wanted to know if there was a canon reason so I went to the wiki

I guess this turned into an essay of sorts so I added a cut bc it got long what the heck

Summary isn't proving helpful. What 'previous actions'? Cause if you're talking about his being willing to defy fate, I think that could honestly be taken as either arrogance or desperation

Again with the arrogance vs desperation. He's been told by Wu for years or however long he's trained that he's the Green Ninja. He essentially was taught to associate his self-worth and competency with being the Green Ninja. And then that got taken away from him

Audacity??? Really?? Did the person who wrote the wiki watch the same episode as me?? He hadn't even hit his growth spurt yet, he still had the tiny legs! Okay, yes, waking a Grundle. Not smart. He's what, a preteen/teenager? That's kinda what they're known for

Okay, now we're getting somewhere! Aaaand nevermind. The link just took me to the summary of the episode where they do the whole entire exposition dump. From Wu's perspective. Hmmm. I wonder how the way the story was written would change if we heard it from Morro instead?? Anyway, they say he's committed atrocities, but the only atrocities I've actually seen any real proof for are the things he did during Possession, not before he ended up in the Cursed Realm. I'm not saying he didn't commit them, I'm just saying if they want me to believe he actually deserved to get cursed, they needed to give me a better idea of what he did wrong. So far, I'm just seeing a kid with an identity crisis

Oof. Awful way to go out. I mean, it could have been worse, but still. The fact that the Master of Wind died underground... Yeah, that's all sorts of levels of irony this post isn't about. Anyway, still haven't gotten any clear idea of what his 'actions' were and why they were so horrible

And honestly, I'm not even gonna touch what the wiki's saying about his personality rn. Let me just summarize it as 'literally everything is negatively spun, even the good things'. Which, yes, I get bc he is a literal antagonist, but at the same time...

Okay, moving on! Trivia!

I mostly knew this already but. Wow. That's a teenager. I'm somewhere around that age and yeah, being that age is hard. Having an extra identity/existential crisis on top of all that and having no way to actually healthily deal with that... Yep, I can see why he went evil

Okay, that's it? Just 'some bad act'??? Wait, as he perished?!? But he was in an explosion... We don't see any other skeletons around him, right? I think that'd be mentioned/shown at least ONCE. So I don't think he killed anyone...

Anyway, cool cool cool. I learned... Pretty much nothing I didn't already know. Nice. I wanna fist fight the wiki now

If anyone's curious, my headcanon is based off Land of the Living on Ao3 by CaptainBrookeworm. Basically, Morro accidentally managed to curse himself just by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time (and I highly recommend reading the fic if you haven't already, it's one of my absolute favorites)

Found a cool color palette. Might finish it later. (Probably not.)

[thebreakfastgenie]

I’ve never done that. [Pauses] Oh, one time I did.

[t4tails]

its real hard to talk about the politics of superheroes as a concept in a public space because everybody on all sides of the discussion has a tendency to just lie

[impossibledial]

i’m so intrigued by dannyclara despite not shipping them. i think that relationship is an interesting addition to clara’s character arc and i’m still trying to to figure out it’s purpose.

[unnonexistence]

btw if i'm ever rambling about math on here and you have questions about it, you are ALWAYS welcome to ask. always. everyone has a different level of math education they're working from & math has a lot of technical terms & frankly i just forget stuff a lot so my rambling might not be all that coherent to begin with.

worst case is idk how to answer your question. more likely you will get some sort of explanation because it means i get to ramble more.

[supermarine-silvally]

Yara, have you met all of the supernovas? Are you considered one? Which ones do you like and which ones you dislike?

"As for if I’m considered one of the Supernovas, no. I’m not. Technically I would be disqualified because my rise to piracy was as an apprentice under Whitebeard’s banner and I didn’t earn enough infamy on my own to be considered a singular threat to the World Government. Which I'm fine with. I'm not in it for the fame-- or the wealth, or the power, for that matter."

Ask Yara (or any of my OCs) anything!

also tagging @oneirataxia-girl for the references to Mari and Kenji's boys heheheh

the accounts of Humphrey Duke of Gloucester's deaths are like:

"we don't know how he died. Some said he just got really sad and just died, just like how Henry IV and Edward IV said Richard II and Henry VI got really sad and just died. Some said that he was smothered between two featherbeds, just how Edward II and Thomas of Woodstock were probably murdered. Others still said it involved a hot spit going into a place no hot spit should go just like the very famous and very untrue account of Edward II's death."

And when you finally stumble on a new one it's like

"Yeah, they drowned him in wine. Just like how George Duke of Clarence is said to have been killed."

The unranked experience has been crazy lately. Learning my new ranger build was pretty chill (if a bit frustrating due to imbalanced matchups), but then I roll up with a thief and people lose their entire minds when I don't play well. Getting tagged, the herald on the enemy team calling me afk. Teammate whispering "trash" at me, and like. duh???? my comrade in suffering why do you think I'm in unranked.

It doesn't bother me in the "hurt my feelings" way, but it does make me mad when people are mean just for the sake of it. GW2 has an insanely fun and enjoyable combat system for PvP, but people like this are ruining the fun and potentially chase away people who are just starting out.

watched Lilo and Stitch the other day and a piece of my soul died at the 2$ adoption fee. Getting an animal from the SPCA where I live costs like $500 now :/

Pants on Fire

Another day, another complaint that I'm harsh because someone goes into my favorite character's tag to repeat a popular but easily disprovable slander, and, in response, I take the time to disprove that particular slander.

Maybe I am harsh, or maybe I'm simply tired of people taking scenes out of context in order to undermine the basic principles of a show that's been successfully concluded for five years; so long that the truth of it should not be in doubt.

So let me be even more harsh. Let's talk about Lies of Omission (5x09).

Stiles is a liar. It is a running gag through every single season that Stiles lies when it suits him. He lies to Scott, he lies to his father, he lies to everyone.

Stiles threatens or actually indulges in violence against people who might endanger his father, repeatedly, including his best friend.

Stiles was emotionally unstable at the beginning of Season 5 to the point that he was engaging in illegal activities that could get him in serious trouble, hurting himself, and endangering other people.

It wasn't just Scott who didn't believe him about Theo: Malia, Liam, Kira, Lydia and the Sheriff didn't believe him about Theo in the first place.

Theo wasn't a stranger; by the time he deceived Scott about Donovan, Theo had helped save the life of every member of the pack. (I thought that fandom believes that saving lives was supposed to endanger trust; that's what fandom says about Derek).

Stiles had literally volunteered to work with Theo in front of Scott.

Stiles had plenty of time to present his side of the story, both in Lies of Omission and the four episodes leading up to it.

Given that all these things are true -- and they are -- Scott shouldn't have believed Stiles.

So, playing by fandom's own rules, the character who bears the responsibility for Scott not believing Stiles is Stiles, who fandom says is so incredibly smart and always right and is the best friend in the whole world, but either a) literally didn't see Theo's plan coming, b) saw it coming but for some reason did nothing to stop it, or c) felt the best course of action, instead of trusting his best friend, was deceiving Scott.

Let me be clear: I don't believe the above paragraph. I don't hold it against Stiles that he didn't react perfectly in a high-pressure situation. Stiles was manipulated by the villains, suffering from the aftereffects of repeated trauma, and burdened with an unfair self-image (in his case put there by his ill mother and a Japanese fox demon). BUT SO WAS SCOTT. Scott was manipulated by the villains, suffering from the aftereffects of trauma, and burdened with an unfair self-image (in his case, being saddled with the responsibility of being the Protector of Beacon Hills by almost every single person he cared about, which includes saving lives.)

So, in conclusion, let me be most harsh. Nattering on about the idea, five years after the show was over, that "Stiles is always right" and "Scott is a bad friend because he didn't believe Stiles" is racist bullshit, because it has nothing to do with what happened on the screen in a scene which was the result of Stiles's long-time behavior AND villain manipulation, but instead it has everything to do with the idea that Stiles as a white male character should be the primary frame of reference for a show that wasn't about him.

11 & 12 for the Does?

- @zeebreezin

Oc Asks C:

11: In what situation was your character the most afraid they’ve ever been?

Jon: Boring answer I know, but Jon can’t actually…experience fear? If that makes sense. It’s one of the emotions he can’t experience/has no reference point for. There’s no base point for fear in any of his books, beyond like, a standard definition. Which doesn’t help someone understand an emotion. This 100% leads to him being in Situations way too often.

Darcy: I’ve mentioned before that Darcy had a building fall on him in a Loony Tunes Moment (tm) during the fall. But he was under that building for a *while*. Like. Days. And he was *terrified* for most of it. Why was he still alive? Why couldn’t he feel half of his body? Why did he have to feel pain so hot his brain couldn’t even black out for him. Why did he have to be awake for everything *the entire time*? It was Bad and resulted in severe claustrophobia.

12: In what situation was your character the most calm they’ve ever been?

Jon: Unfortunately since he doesn’t have a base line for fear, he doesn’t really understand the concept of being calm. Or more, he can identify it in other people as their default state but can’t identify it in *himself* since he’s pretty much always calm. (Or excited about hyperfixation (puzzles)) Emotions are always easier to spot in other people if you don’t personally have any sort of attachment to them.

Darcy: I don’t have any specific situations but in general he’s most calm when doing a dissection, and can lose himself for hours in note taking and observation. It helps calm him down if he’s panicking. Alternatively reading any sort of medical journal or book helps as well as getting him to start talking about his work to distract him.
