How many types of kryptonite are there? I know this isn't quite history, but you seem incredibly knowledgeable and there so much misinformation. The wiki page is constantly vandalized, people making nonsense up; crazy stuff like plaid kryptonite ruins Kryptonian fashion sense and then it's cleaned up and locked. Even when it seems normal it gets messed up. Someone once edited blue kryptonite from "only hurts Bizarros" to "only hurts Bizarros, will mutate normal people into Bizarros and then hurt them"

Ah yes, the green stuff. So in the public imagination, seemingly omnipresent despite the fact that there's never been enough of it in one place for study to fill a gym locker. Yes, I would like to set this particular record straight because for god's sake I'm sure Superman would to.

(A brochure of the 6 types of Kryptonite on display at the opening of Metropolis' Superman Museum)

So, groundwork for those of you who may not know. Kryptonite is a radioactive element that was created when Superman's home planet Krypton detonated due to a chain reaction in its unstable core. The detonation irradiated the planet's crust and mantle as they were flung outward into space and various aspects either of that radiation or the material irradiated formed it into different kinds of kryptonite each manifesting a unique form or effect.

To cover up the first and biggest misconception. No it is not "everywhere", nor is it actually that common.

The amount of Kryptonite, all told that exists on Earth at this point in time is theorized by STAR Labs to be less than 10 tons. Which sounds like a lot but is less than what 2 elephants weigh.

Krypton was a large planet, larger than Earth by orders of magnitude and even then the amount of Kryptonite that would have naturally made its way to Earth probably wouldn't have fit in a coffee cup. Most of that weight hitched a ride on the warp engine the brought baby Superman to Earth and all of the exotic stuff has been brought here intentionally by alien villains and gotten lost or confiscated.

There are 5 "Core" varieties, two that have been seen in a few prominent instances and a few that are know to theoretically exist

About 95% of the Kryptonite mass on Earth and the universe is standard Green Kryptonite, made up of the standard, stable earth elements flung outward in Krypton's explosion. Metal, stone, etc. It is radioactive, giving off "K Radiation" that is highly damaging to the solar energy held within Kryptonian cells. It causes weakness, fatigue and a weakening of Kryptonian powers and over prolonged exposure can be lethal.

Misconceptions Debunked: It is still radioactive, if you keep it around you WILL get cancer. No, Superman is not instantly helpless to it. Better men than you have tried. No, technically it is not illegal to own but unless you own a mid sized country you can't afford any and none is legally for sale anyway, G Gordon and Alex Jones lied to you.

The next 4% of Kryptonite mass is Red Kryptonite formed by the already radioactive elements within Krypton when it exploded. Uranium, Plutonium, etc. The mingling radiations created a truly dangerous and unpredictable material that has wildly mutagenic effects on a Kryptonian exposed to it. Literally anything can happen, good, bad or indifferent. The same chunk also cannot effect the same Kryptonian twice. It's theorized that once the mutation is corrected for, the hyper effective Kryptonian immune system is able to stamp it out if it ever crops up again.

Misconceptions Debunked: This one is even MORE radioactive, it will kill you FASTER. Yes, all of the stories you have heard are true. Yes, even that one.

The final 1% of natural Kryptonite mass is Gold Kryptonite formed when standard Green and Red K, still molten from Krypton's explosion, collided, alloying together. It causes a chain reaction that destroyed the Kryptonian ability to metabolize solar energy, destroying their powers. Permanently.

Misconceptions Debunked: This one is the MOST radioactive, time until lethal radiation poisoning at arms length is lower than the elephant's foot under Chernobyl. Every single ounce of this stuff is accounted for, we know how much of it is on earth down to MICROGRAM and where every one of those micrograms is at every second of every day.

The final of the varities that exist in any quantity are artificial or do not exist on Earth in any permanent amount.

Blue Kryptonite was created to ward off Bizarro, only Superman know how to or has the resources to create it. Only a single sample of it exists for study and use in emergencies, all extras made in those emergencies are destroyed for the sake of them not being used against the Bizarro race accidentally or on purpose

White Kryptonite is lethal to all plant life on any world due to is radiation basically melting Chloroplast it has only been seen in a single large meteorite that Superman averted, no one knows for sure what he did with it and most people do not want to.

Jewel Kryptonite is formed only from the shards of Krypton's Jewel Mountains it has some ability to manifest connection to the mysterious Phantom Zone. Because of this security risk it is not allowed to exist once discovered. All other varieties quickly listed below are either fictional, theoretical or have never been studied because they existed for times measured in minutes or less.

Black Kryptonite: Causes violent psychosis in Kryptonians, created on Apokolips.

Artificial Kryptonite: You would have better luck atomically turning air into gold bars but yes, we do know what it's made up of so we could theoretically make some.

Silver Kryptonite: Might exist in the form of magically altered artifacts? Historicity unclear.

Pink Kryptonite: In your AO3 fanfics only, you know who you are.

Kryptisium: ULTRA theoretical, would allow for the increased absorption of solar radiation. The creation of this material is a green energy holy grail and the main reason Kryptonite is actually studied.

Slow Kryptonite: Some dingbat artificially decreased Kryptonite's atomic mass. To "effect humans the way K effects Kryptonians". What he had done was "invent" Plutonium.

Anti-Kryptonite: Kryptonite from the Antimatter realities. Does not exist for very long for obvious reasons.

Blood Kryptonite: You are in a cult, please, grieve and move on. Its what your loved one would want.

Absolutely living for your junior art rn I swear you're the only rvb artist who draws him <3

Ofc! There needs to be more junior out there.

Look at the little guy~

day 41: sonic wachowski attends SCHOOL (it goes poorly)

[dreadark]

was looking at vivinos's bilibili for some reason and noticed the round 1 and top 3 thumbnails were different... what does it mean...

"literally nothing" but what if...

so on youtube the round 1 thumbnail obviously matches with the teaser

but the bilibili channel doesn't seem to have any of the teasers, so if you put these two together...

sua's smile right before the scores tally up... is of course something still haunting mizi

He’s nothing more than a freshly blooded hunter who thought he could play Clan Leader. He is the disgrace of Clan Khos, a disgrace to honourable Yautja everywhere.

You bit off more than you could chew when you declared war, and now most of Yautja Prime want your head — but that’s alright. No matter what happens, you’ll die making him proud. Right?

war arc kai’lo gets an eyepatch yaaay :)

bad bitches in bell bottoms with weaponized guitars?!?

Can a himbo have a high int? I know it seems like a ridiculous thing to ask, but I have questions about my beautiful blue baby alien boy, Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill.

See Ax is clearly intelligent. He can build a fake Yeerk emergency beacon out of a few Radio Shack parts. He can explain various technicians and has a decent understanding of Z-space.

But Ax is also like, a complete goddamn himbo. Do we really think every Andalite runs around eating garbage the first time they morph into something with a mouth? And the second time? And the tenth time? (Ok so technically the first time he only ate other people's leftovers, no garbage until later. Which kinda makes it even worse.)

Or that Andalite's don't have the concept of what to do with waste? They build spaceships, they have to end up with left over material, broken tools, things like that. Yet Ax has no idea what to do with a leftover coffee cup, and then not only takes a literal interpretation of "throw it away" but chucks it at some guy's head.

I could go on. He meets all the requirements for himbo. Except that pesky intellect.

I see two viable answers:

1. Sometimes a himbo can be smart in some areas.

2. The vast majority of Ax's foolheadery is done while in human morph. Ax's human morph is also very cute. So Ax the andalite isn't a himbo, but when he morphs into Ax the human, he also morphs into a himbo.

do you guys think the amount of alien pregnancy i played through in the sims 2 as a child had some sort of an effect on me

[alienturnipp]

@dreadfutures drew me a beautiful rendition of Cirilla Hawke in the Hades style a while ago, so now I'd like to share it!

This whole concept was inspired by an AU idea where she was a forgotten local deity of Thedas, revered by those who go to war on behalf of rebellion or on a vengeance quest. I borrowed Hades' layout for my quote because I've been wanting to use it since forever :'3

Version without a BG and some design notes are under cut!
