Subnautica is the alien marine biology game Outer Wilds is the alien astrophysics game so what is the alien botany game. Please I need it to exist.

I think if there was a god it would look like a whale.

When I see someone's wishlist for the next Subnautica sequel and they want a bigger map that's basically just the void so you have more space for big submarines with big torpedoes for epic leviathan battles ... like.. that's an entirely different game. You don't want more Subnautica you want a different game :/

After the turtle hatching, Sulani's ecosystem started thriving! The coral reefs looked healthier than before, more of the marine life was coming back and of course there were plenty more fish in the sea.

fav ships for the other gls? (besides hal)

oooooh super fun question tysm anon <33333

John Stewart -

the DCAU was basically my big introduction to DC as a whole, so I love him with Shayera, even though I know that's not really accurate to comics canon (as much as DC seems to pretend it is, which is lowkey giving "peaked in high school" vibes tbh).

Other than Shayera, I do like John with both Guy and Hal. There's decent canon evidence for both: when John thinks of who he can trust implicitly, he thinks of Guy, but when he picks Hal for a GL mission, Guy grumbles about "the brass" always picking favorites. I think John balances both of them out well in different ways. I think guyjohn and johnhal might be tied for me. Guyjohn would probably usually take the edge for me, but I just recently talked to an oomfie about this johnhal moment in a fic and.....well.

I'm waiting with bated breath to see Katma in my read of Green Lantern: Silver Age. I've heard so much about her. Possibly when I meet her, John/Katma will shoot up to the top of my fave John ships.

Guy Gardner -

I've read a decent chunk of JLI just so I could see some Guytora. I didn't even get far enough to see some real Guytora tbh, I'll have to return to JLI some day. So while i LOVE seeing guytora fanart and stuff, I don't actually know this ship that well

Other than guytora, I like Guy with any of the other Four Corpsmen tbh, he has great chemistry with all three. Guy and Hal have very interesting parallels, though I think their personalities are very aggressive and would clash long-term; Guy and Kyle seem very sweet; and Guy and John are complementary in kind of a red oni, blue oni way. Out of these three, I think guyjohn takes my fave for Guy.

Kyle Rayner -

I still haven't read Kyle's run of GL tbh (SORRY KYLE but I'm trying to get thru all of GL: Silver Age and moving forward with that)

which means that the only prominent ship I have seen with Kyle is Kyle and Soranik Natu, and I have to be honest...I actually think they work really well together. I think they're complementary in that Kyle gets Soranik to open up and Soranik help balances Kyle. Plus, the artist x doctor thing? IDK!! it works! (until it doesn't, but u get my point)

Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz - I haven't read their run either SORRY GUYS. But as far as I have seen of these two, I see them as best friends.

Jo Mullein - currently, Syzn of the Cliffs no question (the other guy is a bit of an ass, even if he is a more loveable one by the end of Far Sector). Would absolutely be open-minded to new Jo ships, however, now that she's been outside the City Enduring and with the main GLs for a while. Would love to see her get with more alien gals.

Alan Scott - I read Alan Scott: The Green Lantern (2023) as my big introduction to the character, and I do know now that Vladimir Sokov didn't really exist before that and that it was kind of a huge retcon when they could've used Jimmy... but yeah I have to say Alan and Vladimir is my favorite Alan ship. Alan and Jay Garrick interest me, but I haven't seen them together as much as I have seen Vladimir and Alan and....well. it's doomed yaoi. they knew what they were doing.

Kilowog - Hal no diff, not just because I actually really like Halowog but also because I don't really know if Kilowog has had any fleshed-out love interests? He's had his mate who afaik is unnamed, and he had that alien lady from GLTAS... but I also do really like Hal and Kilowog together. I used to be so-so about it, but I've basically done a 180 (especially after the whole Constructowog business omg). And as i've said before, I think my favorite dynamic is Hal x [stabilizing presence].

Soranik Natu -

my fave Soranik ship is a tie between Soranik/Kyle and Soranik/Iolande.

Soranik/Kyle has had more canon interactions, and they do complement each other out well, like I said earlier! HOWEVER! while I did say that Kyle got Soranik to open up, honestly Soranik chose that by herself, Kyle just made a safe space for her to do so. someone else could fulfill that role for her. And while I did say that Soranik let Kyle process his grief, what I was really thinking about was the moment where she suggests that he make a mural of all the deceased GLs.

Soranik/Iolande has a lot of potential!!!! I have talked to a moot about this recently, but they have UNTAPPED levels of tension and conflict. Like, Soranik chose Iolande to be her sector partner, but Iolande is a PRINCESS, and this has mostly manifested in the text as just "oh haha it's funny that she has to balance the bureaucracy of being a ruler with the resposibilities with being a GL, she's so busy all the time xD" when it is so odd and seems to go completely ignored that Soranik comes from a planet where their previous GL was the ruler (albeit a despot, which Soranik and Iolande both hate on principle), and that GL was depised SO MUCH that both Katma and Soranik had to deal with the lingering hatred so many years later. so WHY would soranik choose someone who she knew was going to inherit the throne and all the political power that entails as her fellow GL???

I think it could be a really interesting contrast between Iolande and Soranik if Iolande was super political and kind of an activist (she is canonically very interested in the socio-political aspects of the GL's role) whereas Soranik specifically tries to stay apolitical because she fears gaining any political power and meddling in politics or, God forbid, becoming a Sinestro-like figure, because of her planet's history

THEY COULD HAVE SO MANY PARALLELS TO SINHAL!!! OUGHHH SINHAL COULD HAUNT THE SORALANDE NARRATIVE!!!! u would think that obviously Sinestro = Soranik and Iolande = Hal in this parallel because of their respective color rings (at least, once Soranik is kidnapped by Sinestro and forced to be a Yellow Lantern), but I also think that this parallel could be way more complex than that. Iolande being the monarch of her planet might actually make Sinestro see more of himself in her than in Soranik. Also, Sinestro+Iolande and Hal+Soranik have more similarities in terms of personalities. IT COULD BE COMPLEX AND AND LAYERED AND IT COULD BE SO SO INTERESTING

(Plus, space wlw!!)

THEY COULD BE BUTCH4FEMME

actually no my favorite Soranik ship is Soranik x being in canon comics again. when will my wife return from the war.

Thaal Sinestro (I'm counting him because he used to be a GL + he is a prominent character of the GL franchise + AFAIK he is currently a GL in canon comics as of currently) - Hal, no diff. Although honestly I do think their dynamic is better in canon if sinhal isn't ever actually a thing because I think the romance might distract from how tragic their relationship is.

^ THIS QUOTE AND HAL'S FACE ALWAYS FUCKING GETS ME. "That's the tragedy of all of this, Jordan. Hal. We'll always be friends." so why don't you fucking shoot me actually.

Aya (I'M COUNTING HER TOO IDC IDCCCC SHE'S A GL TO ME) - Razer, no diff. I also have very normal feelings about Isaac and Claire Finn from The Orville, tysm for asking.

Am I forgetting anyone important? Eh, whatever this is long enough as is.

Unveiling Nature's Treasures: The City Nature Challenge Beckons You!

[torchickentacos]

Genuinely so happy to see that Totodile made it into ZA! I haven't really consolidated my thoughts on the trailer yet (I feel like I still have more questions than answers about what the plot itself even is beyond 'make the city better' tbh?), but Totodile is there and Absol is there and that is genuinely enough to keep me excited

[skinteresting-enough]

So you know that one anecdote about a kid eating an artwork an artist had sent him, because he just loved it so much? ...Yeah, I'm gonna need someone to put Scavengers Reign on a dvd or vhs tape or, I dunno, something, because I need to eat it.

Indigenous Hawaiians really had a good system going: wake up reaaally early and do most of the days work while it's cool and by the time the sun was up and it got hot the work was done and you're free to surf and socialize. I wish the white people realized they themselves could work smarter and not harder and get time to relax. Instead of calling Hawaiians lazy (and being genocidal about it)
