Salem is not the biggest fan of horn guy.

okay now that i'm no longer trying to keep a project secret from certain people i can complain publicly about a thing i've been losing my mind about:

why the fuck is the evo wiki like that.

listen. i know. i know fandom wikis being decent entirely relies on whether there are people who both want to obsessively categorize things enough to fill out the wiki, with the free time to do that kind of obsessive categorization, and the desire to manage it all as a wiki. believe me, i know. but please i'm just trying to do research please, please at least bigb's page was just Entirely Empty so i knew i had useless information and just left. why the fuck did the mafia's page, by contrast, have this:

a sentence that is actively LESS USEFUL THAN IF IT WERE NOT THERE.

and then grian's page - GRIAN'S. GRIAN'S. THE ONE PAGE I THOUGHT MIGHT HAVE A SHOT OF BEING FILLED OUT. JOKE'S ON ME I GUESS.

BECAUSE IT HAS THIS????? I'M LOSING MY MIND. WHY ON EARTH IS THE WIKI LIKE THIS. WHY IS IT THIS BAD. PLEASE I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EVERYONE'S RELATIONSHIPS WITH JIMMY AND MARTYN WERE PLEASE,

anyway thankfully i had friends who could help me with their own knowledge and who also found the evo recap but in conclusion i have been being driven mad by this for weeks, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

-Danny & Adrien know each other, maybe via Magic Stuff, maybe it’s the classic “event in a convenient spot”, doesn’t really matter. Point is they’re hero friends who both know each other’s secret identities and keep in touch.

-At some point, Danny is forced to relocate from Amity park because of a reveal gone horribly wrong. He bolts and keeps going until he can’t anymore. He’s picked up by a stranger.

-(Generally he doesn’t drop his transformations by accident anymore but thank the ancients he did this time because he would’ve had one hell of a time explaining to this stranger why his blood was bright neon green. As it stands, the biggest question is what the hell happened to him.)

-Nightwing is just vibing, doing his nightly patrols in Bludhaven, when he finds this kid half unconscious in an alleyway, bleeding out. They more or less beg not to be taken to a hospital when Dick suggests it, so instead he takes them to one of his safe houses and patches him up there (This kid is 16? Maybe? Why’s there an open autopsy incision-)

-Danny is not in any shape to be going anywhere and on top of that, his accelerated healing is working at a third of the speed it should be because of the materials that were used to hurt him being anti ghost, so Dick manages to convince him to stay in his misc safehouses - he doesn’t need to stay in just one, he’s allowed to move between them, just please don’t leave entirely.

-Danny explicitly requests that as few people as possible get involved in this, and yes that means the rest of the bats. If he can leave once he’s healed without anyone but Nightwing ever knowing he was there then that’s for the best.

-Except, as it often goes, Danny gets attached to Dick and Dick gets attached to Danny and the Reveal happens, etc.

-While he’s still healing and can’t do much of anything, a story runs on the news. Dick doesn’t think too much of it at first, but Danny gets really concerned when he sees it.

-“-Paris’ supervillain Hawkmoth has finally been taken down. Secretly the popular fashion designer Gabriel Agreste, many people who have heard the news are devastated. His home is currently being searched….”

-Danny goes “oh shit!!! I know that guy!!!” and immediately calls up Adrien and asks if he’s alright, what he’s doing, etc and the resounding answer is no, Adrien’s having an existential crisis, and he’s staying with friends while he figures out what to do with himself.

-Danny explains his own situation, specifically that he was displaced but found a safe (and at this point he really doesn’t want to leave anymore) home with another hero, and Dick, who’s only heard half of the conversation but understands that someone Danny knows and trusts with his own identity needs a place to stay, and offers Adrien a place here.

-Adrien decides to take him up on that offer. He’s being harassed, moreso than he ever was simply for being Adrien the model, because now he’s Adrien, the supervillain’s son, and since Hawkmoth was pretty localized he’s hoping that it won’t be near as bad in a different country.

-Now Dick has two kids in his care and he’s feeling more and more like Bruce by the day because he’s just gone from living alone save for whatever times he visits the manor to having two kids in his house, relying on him for safety and emotional support in the span of like. Two weeks.

-Reveal x2 with Adrien, all that Bonding Stuff™️

-Adrien and Danny get to talking and they’re both experiencing some cabin fever and so they decide “yk what?? We could help Nightwing with his hero work!! The area already has a metric fuckton of heroes, what’s two more?”

-It’s actually rather easy for Adrien to convince Nightwing because he gets why Adrien wants to be back out on the field. Danny, on the other hand, is finding it way harder, because Dick is already worried about Danny’s injuries.

-They both manage it though, under two conditions.

-1. They can’t be Phantom and Cat Noir. Not only is it going to be incredibly obvious if/when they make any public appearances as civilians, but also it’s going to raise questions and unwanted attention.

-2. Minimal magic and ghostly powers. This ties back to the previous stipulation, technically. Cataclysm is too recognizable as a miraculous thing, and it could be detrimental in a fight where Adrien can’t get away to recharge. If Danny used too many of his ghostly powers, he could give himself away as a ghost and become a target for hunters.

-Cue a montage of Dick hiding his two new protégés from the rest of the bats because he wants it to be a surprise and also he wants their debut to be on their terms for safety and damage control reasons while trying to set them up with the appropriate training and gear (moreso Danny who needs a whole new suit than Adrien who can just redesign his magic suit)

-The other bats are absolutely certain something is up with Nightwing and they’re proven right when two new players make their debut.

So Jester, if you like pulling pranks, who's your favourite to prank and why?

Yeehaw territory is all of the USA, but mostly west of the Mississippi River (anything bought in the Louisiana Purchase that was considered the 'frontier') 🌿

@whataboutyouisamascot thank you for the history lesson! Unfortunately I have no idea where Mississipi is, and I'm way too sick to look that up, so I'm just nodding and smiling gratefully like an idiot 😃👍 <- not a thought behind those eyes

Every time I see a post about colour blindness I remember the one biological flex I have, which is that I have tetrachromacy and can see more colour than most people

My parents are taking in our family dog to cross the rainbow bridge this afternoon :(

I'm genuinely glad she won't be in pain anymore (her legs are Not Good at this point) but I'm also really sad. We've had Maia for literally half my life; I'm the one who suggested her name. I held her as a little puppy in my lap driving back when we got her. It just sucks.

I HAD A REALISATION

The moment where Shilo sees the queen crying in her study? That's her learning that Emizel has been turned.

Man, the Ortensia erasure in fanworks is sometimes baffling to me. She’s either dead, non-existent, or barely present in the story.

But I can kind of see why.

She’s not really fleshed out in cannon, so people won’t really implement her in stories that much because…well, how are they suppose to write her?

And I think we can all agree that it’s Disney’s fault for why that is.

I feel like if we got an Epic Mickey 3 or if the Oswald show wasn’t cancelled (or Disney actually USING THE CHARACTERS) then I genuinely do believe she would’ve been more fleshed out and even gotten some character development.

And it sucks to say it because I do love Ortensia and I do believe, despite very little we have of her, she does have a lot to offer as a character.

i love horror that's about the ocean itself instead of the critters that live in it. while i can see how it's easy to make horror out of something like a deep sea squid, theyre just kind of doing their own thing, and doing what they need to survive. horror revolving around the ocean itself however... think about it. the total isolation of being out on a boat, looking around and knowing you're the only human for miles around. the sea stretches out in every direction endlessly. you look down and see nothing. just more blue. you can't tell how deep it goes. only way to really know would be to go down there yourself. even if you drop something down, it'll still disappear into the water long before you can see it hit the bottom. i love ocean horror guys i think its a very cool concept and should be played with more

[woof-squiggles]

OH YEAH i wanna draw the boys n’ co in outfits so SEND AN OUTFIT AND A CHARACTER

[james-stark-the-writer]

watching Kiki's Delivery Service and the movie is a fucking delight and i'm having a goddamn blast (Sabrina The Teenage Witch wishes it was this good) but i'm about 56 minutes in and why does the clock face have four written like that, that's not how Roman numerals work. it's not IIII, it's IV. it's not like you could get it confused with the six bc there's other numbers surrounding it so what the fuck.

edit: there's apparently a whole history to why clocks use IIII, now i look like a fucking fool. anyway, fascinating stuff.

Wait wait you can't just say the planetary core is implied to be Grimm liquid and not explain lol 😂

HFJFGSJF curse of knowledge got me again

ok

remember this?

this is the stinger at the end of 8.4 (fault). by morning, in 8.5, it has widened into this:

its growth is accompanied by major seismic activity—yrj can hear the quakes as well as feel them—and as you can see best in this shot:

salem’s siege river forcibly cracked the bedrock apart as she drew it to the surface.

now, “remnant’s liquid core is grimm” is not the only possible explanation for this (it might plausibly be an underground reservoir)—but consider that, in ‘the two brothers,’ volcanoes and earthquakes are both attributed to the god of darkness; ergo plate tectonics are his thing, and what is the engine that drives plate tectonics? convection in the liquid mantle.

what happens when the crust of a planet with a liquid core splits? magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed as it cools, forcing the plates apart. (this is how sea-floor spreading works.)

lastly—have you ever been to yellowstone? well, check out these mud pots:

in ‘the lost fable,’ the big pool in dark’s domain is also bubbling—it’s hot. the consistency of the liquid is also exactly what the liquid mud in these pools look like. and of course the thing about yellowstone is it’s Like That because it’s the caldera of a supervolcano; there’s a hotspot under the earth’s crust there, that’s what produces all the hot springs and geysers and mud pots and occasional volcanic doomsaying and so forth.

yeah erm. the hyperfixation is real. so here's this cause i cannot stop thinking about them!! I have thought way too much about their story and what they'd be like in this universe

Salem's mutant power is that they can turn their body into a black mist or a "shadow" state, where they can warp and change their body at will. They also don't have to change their whole body, they can turn any part of their body into shadows at any point. Their psychical body is a bit weak since they burn energy really quickly, so they wear armor and padding to help with that and fighting.

They're a bit cocky and childish, despite being an adult. Though they care deeply for their friends.
