There comes a point when you are doing too much research for fanfic, and that point is probably way before you’re looking up the interactions between the Cocos and Nazcas plates in order to decide where you would put a fictional island if you want it off the coast of Colombia.

#somebody take the internet away from me #because I am about ten minutes from taking this map of the Teri if plates and using it to map out the Disney Universe #because where would Atlantis be? with all the earthquakes it has to be on a fault line #Beuaty and the Beast takes place in rural France #but what about Frozen? Arandelle is vaguely Norway but is it a part of Norway? or next to it?#Tangled is sorta in Germany (even though their kingdom has a Spanish name)#plus thanks to the TV show we know there’s other kingdoms around Corona that are not Germany #Jesus Christ the Eurasian plate is huge #is this map accurate? it can’t actually be that big #is this why that woman from Amsterdam was so baffled by the idea of earthquakes?#ANYWAY!#this map says that the South American plate is moving west aka converging with the plates immediately west of it #and this map shows an underwater mountain range right where the South American plate meets the Nazcas plate soooooo #that’s where I would put a fictional island #just a little North east of Isla Isabela #it would be roughly triangular #relatively protected from hurricanes but would have frequent earthquakes #hmmmmm technically speaking that’s north of the equator and on the east side of the Pacific Ocean Gyre #so the water at the western beaches would still be pretty cool #the eastern beaches would be warmer #ok I’ve figured out the geography of my fictional Disney kingdom #now…#to figure out the actual plot of this fic #oh and that tag up there should say tetonic plates not Teri If plates #damn autocorrect
