The Valar's mistake did not lie in seeing a possibility of good in Melkor. Rather, their mistake lay in not seeing the equal possibility of him remaining evil.

I believe in my heart of hearts that the Lego Batman movie exists in DC and that it was created by the batfamily as a way to throw off the conspiracy theorists

Maybe the superhero forums were getting too close to realizing their identities again. maybe one of their injuries had accidentally gotten spotted by the paparazzi. maybe they were just running out of plausible alibis. maybe they just wanted to be funny.

Bruce gave the world the "do the butts match" meme. His children give the world a cinematic masterpiece.

The fact that I can name three different near-apocalypses in Twisted Wonderland all caused by teenage mages says so much about these boys and their mental stability.

Why does no one ever consider therapy?

(TW: Death & Cremation)

Do you guys think that SOLDIERs started burning their comrades' bodies after the reveal of degradation? Like at that point they probs knew that SCIENCE was sketchy and wouldn't discriminate in experimenting on degrading SOLDIERs. So to save the bit of autonomy they have left, they started burning their dead friends and colleagues so SCIENCE wouldn't get ahold of their corpses. Plus the Planet was slowly dying which made disintegration into the Lifestream a more slow process, leaving corpses intact.

Imagine how Sephiroth felt when he was issued a kill order against his friends. Do you guys think he was planning on cremating them, knowing how Hojo was? Do you guys think that Genesis, in the likely chance he couldn't find a cure, had countermeasures to destroy his body. And what about Angeal? Do you guys think that he was entrusting Zack to completely destroy his entire being in Modeoheim?

U.N.G.C.C. Incident Report: Gojirin

FOR AUTHORIZED EYES ONLY

Subject #20, classified by Kaijuologists as "Gojirin", translations varying from "Godzillin" and "Godzillan", is a female Gojiran, a surprise to scientists since sightings are a rarity. In the aftermath of Godzilla's (II) battle against Mothra and Battra, submarine attacks alerted international attention. Many thought it was Godzilla, but the psychic Miki Segusa reminded those at the meeting of the saurian's imprisonment via Mothra's seal. Not wanting to let this mystery Kaiju run rampant, naval ships from the JSDF, UK, and the United States were deployed to the Pacific. But, the ships were attacked by what survivors described as a pink-scaled Godzilla with hear-shaped dorsal fins. Gojirin, possesses the abilities and durability of the usual Gojiran, laid waste to the recon team, forcing a retreat.

The news shocked the U.N.G.C.C. G-Countermeasures council, while scientists were using the remains of the Simean war machine known as 'Mechagodzilla', creating one to defend humanity against Kaiju. Within months after Gojirin's existence was discovered, Mechagodzilla II was completed. Professor Leo Asimov, the roboticist and lead designer of the mech took notes from the Simean robot and suggested testing the mech against the recently discovered Gojirin. Many were unsure due to Mechagodzilla II being recently completed, Commander Takaaki Aso ordered the mech to be deployed. Especially since Godzilla's reemergence in Adona Island, unknown to G-Force at the time, contained what many thought to be a pteranodon egg.

Mechagodzilla flew to a countryside outside of Kyoto, where the female Gojiran was spotted. The two titans engaged in battle, where the mechanical saurian proved to be a match to Gojirin. Despite her ferocious tenacity, she was brought low by Mechagodzilla, who was about to deliver a killing blow. Until Godzilla blasted it with his Atomic Breath, thought impervious, distracted the pilots of the mech. As Mechagodzilla engaged in combat with its primary target, Gojirin continued her march to Kyoto. The reason for her and Godzilla coming ashore: the pteranodon egg was actually the egg of a Godzillasaurus. Kaijuologists hypothesized that Godzilla and Gojirin had entered companionship and the egg was laid by the latter. Judging by its persistence in honing in on the hatchling, the Monster King took on the role of a surrogate father.

Mechagodzilla was heavily damaged, barely making it back to G-Force to undergo repairs, forcing the organization to deploy Maser Tanks and planes against the Saurian pair. Miki Segusa and Azusa Gojo, objected to the monsters' destruction and the use of the hatchling, Godzilla Jr, as bait when Kaijuologists discovered that the Gojirans have a second brain located within the hips. Azusa accompanied the kaiju infant to calm it down, having imprinted her as a mother figure when it hatched. But, during transport to a designated area far from any populated areas, Gojirin intercepted the planes. Instead of blasting them with her Atomic Breath, not wanting to harm her offspring, she knocks the plane carrying Junior and Azusa, catching the carrier they were in. Commander Aso ordered Mechagodzilla to be deployed, thankfully with the mech having reached full repairs and modifications.

Gojirin was marching through a baseball stadium when Mechagodzilla reached her, engaging in a rematch. Its weapons and lasers proved too much for the concerned mother, being brought down once more. Until the arrival of her mate, Godzilla, where the scales tipped in the Saurians' favor. As Gojirin took out one of the mech's eyes, aiming to kill the pilots inside, the Garuda, originally designed to fight Kaiju before Mechagodzilla II's construction, arrived as it was piloted by formerly demoted G-Force pilot Kazuma Aoki. Getting the pair away from the mech, Aoki managed to get close to it to combine the two anti-Godzilla weapons into one powerful machine: Super Mechagodzilla!

The mech, more powerful than ever, blasted the female Gojiran with extreme prejudice; greatly wounding her. Godzilla, roaring in rage, unleashed a ferocious assault upon his mechanical doppelganger, due to the mech not having combat capabilities its design template had. However, Godzilla turned his attention to his injured mate, then to his surrogate son; leaving him open to be injured by the mech, which shot paralyzing missiles at its second brain. The King of Monsters went down, as ground troops, assisted by Aoki, freed Azusa and Junior; who cried out in response to the gruesome violence. Gojirin, seemingly knowing that her mate was in danger and her wound was grave, charged towards Mechagodzilla, but was shot down by the mech. But, it was a move of tactical thinking, which Godzilla would later demonstrate in his battle against Spacegodzilla, having the female Gojiran land upon the injured Monster King. Giving her energies to her mate, her radiation was used to repair Godzilla's second brain.

Revitalized and motivated to avenge his mate, Godzilla unleashed his upgraded Spiral Heat Ray, a move used to destroy the Simean Mechagodzilla years ago. The heat from the healed saurian and its attacks proved too much for Mechagodzilla II, forcing the pilots to abandon the mech. With the battle concluded, but Gojirin sacrificed herself for it to end, Godzilla approached Junior, who cowered in fear and was mourning the death of his biological mother. With convincing from Azusa and telepathic assistance from Miki, the baby kaiju marched to the sea with his surrogate father, traveling to Birth Island and taking up residence. Despite Gojirin's demise, her entire essence was used to heal Godzilla, preventing G-Force from acquiring her corpse for study.

watching cinder sweep lemon's poll is perhaps a predictable consequence of me rb'ing it to my modest army of rwby followers

but it's also hysterical given that mco connie lee, the random upper-class british woman who works for the occult censorship government agency, reliably defeats king crucible:

IN THE DESERT I WAIT IN THE RUINS I BURN - METAL IS WATER - STONE IS WAX - FLESH IS SMOKE - ENTER ME AND BE NO LONGER.

Forge 12 Edge 12. He can hide in a candle-flame if he must. But here he is in all his bonfire pomp. After I speak with him, the skin of my face and hands will be pink as if from too much sun.

you send this to kill her and she has a 70% chance to not only escape but extinguish him until you next summon him, and if that check fails she still has a second smaller chance to escape.

you feed her a poison that dissolves its victims down to literally nothing left but an invisible fading wisp of eldritch influence and she has a one in three chance to just fucking. SURVIVE THAT!

the only character in rwby who could beat connie lee is salem, and even then only because salem has infinite chances to try

mini update

now that i've finished up that ask stuff...

just wanted to give a heads up about where i'm at this week! as this is the first day of October, i know that DRDTtober should be starting now. (i've seen other people start to post their work and it looks awesome btw.) i still plan on doing DRDTtober, and wanted to put out my thing for the first prompt today, but i'm in a bit of a crunch period right now and decided that, of the items on my plate, that was the most delayable. so, i still intend on participating in DRDTtober, it might just be slanted towards the end of the month. or turn into DRDTvember. we'll see.

along those lines, i've also turned off my askbox for the moment. don't worry, i'll turn it back on by, like, next week or something. i just, again, am kind of busy right now and was desperately looking for something that i can mentally declare "done" and not have to come back to until i'm ready for it. i still have the asks about the secret swap AU and what David's plan was, though, and i fully plan on getting back to those when i have some more time.

it truly is just like these first few days of October that have suddenly become really busy for me, so hopefully i'll be deleting this post before the DRDT Chapter 2 finale even comes out. and, either way, i'll definitely find the time to watch the episode when it airs. i know it's probably not even that serious, but people have been talking to me on here, like, way more than they ever have in the past couple of months, so i didn't want anyone to feel like i was avoiding them or didn't care if i don't respond quickly. that's all! :)
