How do flat earthers think water works?
Like, let's believe them/follow their hypothesis for a second.
The Earth is flat. On land, we typically can't see for more than a mile or two because of how dynamic the surface of the land is with plattes, torsion, glacial deposits, erosion, etc. (Geologists, forgive me)
On water, the furthest you can see around you is 2.9 miles, despite the fact that water follows gravity in every other dynamic, being a fluid.
And you can see the moon, planets with reflectivity, and the stars and the sun for being more than that in miles away.
So, it's not your eyes or light that prevents you from seeing that far on the ocean.
So the earth is flat, your eyes absorb light from millions and billions of miles away, and you can't see more than 2.9 miles away from you on the ocean, in calm sunny seas.
You cannot see any land mass from even beyond the halfway mark across the Atlantic Ocean, the furthest you can see them is from 2.9 miles away, in calm, sunny seas.
How do the flat earthers think that works?
Do they think that water has hills beyond waves? How would glasses even get filled in such a world? How would your aquariums work?

Not Quite his Twin
Danny Fenton is not Danyal al Ghul. They’d wanted him to be, but he wasn’t.
He still remembers when he first woke up, his whole body feeling raw and ill-fitted. Even his mind felt wrong, his memories not quite his own.
Which, he supposes, they weren’t.
Because Danyal is still dead. Executed on the orders of the Demon’s Head for failing to live up to his twin.
But the spurned heir would make a perfect figurehead to build legitimacy for a coup, so a splinter sect of the League stole away some of his remains before they could be disposed of. They may not have had permission to access the Lazarus Pits, but they could still turn to some more unorthodox methods of attempting resurrection. A combination of cloning, a few stolen and processed samples of Lazarus Water, and pieces of necromantic rituals.
And it almost worked.
Almost.
The body they constructed did indeed come to life, and clearly possessed at least some of Danyal’s memories, but it wasn’t him. The memories were locked behind a barrier, present in abstract but not felt. This thing they created could never pass for the deceased heir, and thus could never be the figurehead they wanted. So they decided to dispose of him.
But the clone’s memories had shown him this sort of betrayal before, and he did still have some of the original’s skills. He struck first, killing several of their agents and managing to escape the lab.
He had no idea what to do next, but at least he was free. Free to form his own life, to become someone unique rather than just not-quite-Danyal.
#also a few more ideas/notes:#1. i was originally planning on having Maddie be one of the League scientists who’d start to care for him and then help him escape#(in fact, the “processed lazarus water” thing is actually a leftover from that)#and though i ultimately didn’t explicitly include her in the post itself, it very much could still be a thing!#or maybe she was an outsider whom the group nevertheless worked with, which somehow leads to danny tracking her down (and getting adopted)#2. it could be interesting to have Danny meet the ghost of the original Danyal#it might be vindicating for Danny’s self identity, but it might also be really uncomfortable because it’s seeing what he was “meant” to be#(or like that “what if you were the evil clone and saw another version of yourself that was so much brighter?” post)#3. obviously the implication is that Damian would eventually find Danny somehow and assume that he’s Danyal and that he surivived somehow#not quite sure how the resulting conversation would go but it’d definitely be awkward/uncomfortable#(Damian wanting desperately for Danny to be Danyal and thus making him really uncomfortable)#(and if Danny does convince him, Damian might become subconsciously resentful of him for being alive “instead of” Danyal)#dp x dc#dpxdc#dc x dp#dcxdp#danny phantom x dc#danny phantom x dc crossover#dp x dc prompt#dpxdc prompt#dc x dp prompt#dcxdp prompt#demon twins au#but Danyal al Ghul is genuinely dead#danny is a clone of danyal al ghul#clone danny fenton#and like specifically *not* a perfect clone. he has the memories but they’re noticeably distinct. he knows he isn’t the original.#e.g. he knows damian is his brother and knows how danyal felt about him but Danny himself doesn’t *feel* those emotions

oof, everything with izuku and shinsou in pez makes me so sad, is there any au where they’re friends? or do they ever get along better in the future?
I won’t say about the “getting along better in the future” bit because I’d rather that be revealed in the fic itself. I do have a fic where they’re best friends from nearly the very beginning of canon that I fondly refer to as my Fake Dating AU, despite the fact that there is no fake dating at all.
All Might and Inko are fake bitter divorcees.
I love this fic so much, it’s my favorite bnha fic next to pez, and it’s been sitting in my mind for years now. If I ever publish another bnha fic, it’ll probably be this one. More info below the cut for anyone who wants to avoid spoilers to a fic I may never write.
Fundamentally the issue is this:
A child
EXPLODES
At the UA Entrance Exam.
This is only like 20% Izuku’s fault, or, depending on how you look at it, 100% Izuku’s fault.
Unluckily for everyone, Monoma stole Izuku’s Quirk first out of everyone. He. Explodes. (Yes, I know that he just draws a blank when he steals OfA I came up with this before that became canon just ignore that ignore it).
Anyway it’s just his arm but this is still wildly traumatizing for everyone. While Aizawa is fucking booking it across campus and lawyers are getting contacted and ambulances are called and all exams are getting halted, three people respond:
Midoriya Izuku, wondering if he is legally to blame for this kid’s arm exploding
Shinsou Hitoshi, no idea what the fuck is going on, just there to force the kid with no arm to calm down and breathe so he doesn’t bleed out faster
Iida Tenya, confused, blood splattered, sprinting across campus to kidnap someone named Setsuna Tokage on Izuku’s frantic order
Monoma gets better, because Izuku had met Setsuna earlier in the day and correctly realized that Monoma may regrow his own arm if he copied Setsuna’s Quirk. But the entire exam gets canceled for everyone, and the three kids who were directly involved in the emergency response get held for their parents. Legally, they need to bring them back for interviews about what happened, and they need to get parents involved at that point.
Izuku has a problem, and it is this:
Everyone knows it’s his Quirk that made that boy explode.
But he didn’t have a Quirk this morning.
His mom knows this.
He frantically texts all might begging him to pick him up instead. The school won’t release him unless an adult comes to get him and he’s got no other options save his mom. He didn’t know how to tell the he got a quirk but he knows that making a boy EXPLODE is not the way to do it.
But it’s fine. All Might is coming. He will be here, and it will be fine then. This is so, so fine.
Izuku: “Mr. Aizawa, you don’t have to call my mom. I texted my—” Adult man who I meet 4-7 times a week in an isolated location without parental knowledge or supervision. But don’t worry, it’s just because he told me not to tell anyone. Haha, you don’t want to call the police on this man. “—dad.”
Aizawa, does not want to be here: we already called your mom kid.
Izuku: oh god
Aizawa: she was down as your emergency contact. But if your dad is coming instead, I’m sure that he’ll let her know
Izuku: that… sure does sound like the kind of information people that share a child would share
Aizawa, so fucking tired: okay
Now Izuku has a new problem:
His dad is coming.
He doesn’t have a dad.
His mom knows this.
He tries to frantically call off all might. All might does not respond. He is a model citizen and does not text while driving. Izuku is fucked.
Iida is picked up. Izuku waits. His mom arrives. There are tears. He tries to power walk her out of the building before anyone says the words “your sons quirk blew up a boy” out loud and in that order
Yagi Toshinori frantically enters the room, takes one look at him, looks at no other fucking people, and says “my boy are you alright”
Izuku: fuck.exe
This all makes more sense to Aizawa now. A haunting amount of sense. He needs to go day drink.
Aizawa, in haunting realization: so this is your son
All Might, did not plan this far ahead: … yes
Midoriya Inko, knows she did not have a child with this man: I’m sorry—
Izuku, panicked: HI DAD
What follows is a lot of eyebrow raising and hissed, cut off whispers and begging his mom under his breath to be fucking cool about this please please please. As a result, she does not immediately out the fact that she has no idea who the fuck this man is and she wants him arrested for something, she will figure out what.
The other result is that the vibes are so immediately and violently toxic that Aizawa and fucking Shinsou, who is also here, immediately comes to the conclusion that Izuku’s parents are bitter divorcees who have given up trying to keep it together for the kid and are just at each other’s fucking throats.
Aizawa, wants to know less about All Might’s personal life: … anyway your son’s Quirk was copied during the entrance exam and the arm of the child who did it. Exploded. You’ll need to bring your son in within the week to answer some questions for our records
Inko, shocked: my son doesn’t have a quirk
Izuku: fuck.exe
Aizawa, staring at fucking All Might, mildly: no it was definitely your son’s quirk
Yagi, never sweated harder in his fucking life: well… honey, uh, you know that on my side of the family there’s a history of late bloomers
Inko, saccharine: did I know that, sweetie? Because that sure sounds like something a mother should know about her child, but I’m not sure that I knew that. In fact, it may be that everyone just expected me to know that when I walked into this room without telling me
Aizawa:
Shinsou: :o
Aizawa: to be clear only one parent is needed for the follow up interview
Inko: he is Quirkless. He was always going to apply Quirkless.
Yagi: right right but, well, it seems that he has a Quirk now, so perhaps it’s best if he uses that
Inko: ONE THAT EXPLODES ARMS???
Yagi: I am certain it does other things too
Aizawa, staring directly at the ceiling: I’m sorry, I can’t let you leave here today if you may explode. When was the first time you used your Quirk and were you able to use it safely
Izuku, coughing slightly: technically I’ve never. Used. My quirk
Shinsou: :o :o :o
Izuku: so really it’s been a day of surprises for us all
Aizawa:
Izuku: but hey I got my Quirk guys. yayyyyyy.
Matters escalate. Inko unlocks her theatre kid background and accuses All Might of violating the custody agreement that they do not have. The words “I’ll kill you in this room” are said aloud and where other people can hear them. Izuku has to restrain his own mother.
Izuku asks if they could please have a family meeting. Aizawa says that they definitely should.
Izuku convinces his mother to not murder Yagi long enough to get them all into an empty bathroom, where she immediately starts beating all might, his lifelong hero and personal mentor, with her purse.
He transforms into All Might so she won’t try to kill him on the spot.
THE RESULTS:
Izuku’s mom is so fucking angry
She is so fucking angry
But she also knows that if shit gets revealed “I have all might’s quirk because I am his secret son” is 1000% better than “I have all might’s quirk because it’s transferrable and you can have it too if you torture it out of me.”
Inko will happily fake being bitter divorcees with all might if it means adding an extra layer of protection for her son. They’re doing this.
THE OTHER RESULTS:
Shinsou Hitoshi just sort of wanted to go to the bathroom and opened the door to find his fellow test taker with his mom and the world’s most famous man who was obviously the same guy as the dad from before, like they’re wearing identical clothes and everything, and after a moment of haunting silence says “I’ll use the other one” and just. Leaves.
Izuku: fuckfuckfuck.exe
Shinsous not a dick okay. He’s not going to leak the fact that the world’s most famous man apparently has a tinier, more unobtrusive form and he’s been using it to quietly white knuckle his way through the worlds most rancid divorce, fucking apparently. All Might’s saved like, a stupid number of people and possibly the world. He does not want to be this involved in All Might’s life and is hoping that he can confidently power walk his way out of this social interaction.
He cannot.
He has to suffer it. Nope, he’s not gonna tell anyone. Yes, really. If forgetting was an option, he’d have already done it. He promises. It’s all good. He’ll keep quiet.
He then has to have the same conversation with Aizawa.
Before they part, Izuku tells Shinsou that his Quirk is amazing and, a bit impulsively, asks him if he wants to train with him for the rescheduled exams. And Shinsou wonders if this is a trap and deflects with, “Oh you probably have a lot of people you can train with don’t let me hold you up.”
And no. No, Izuku really, really doesn’t.
And Shinsou remembers that while he knows this guy as All Might’s son, no one else does, and he was also thought to be Quirkless until an hour ago and obviously has a lot going on in his home life. So, a bit impulsively, he exchanges numbers with Izuku.
Which is how my AU where Izuku and Shinsou end up best friends before UA gets set up. It’s way too long to discuss in any detail, but some highlights:
The pre-UA friendship is actually Izuku, Shinsou, and Iida. Iida feels embarrassed because he was canonically coming down kind of hard on Izuku during the exam and then when boys exploded Izuku was in full control of the situation and acted the way a hero should and so did the other boy and next to them Iida must have seemed simply abominable and anyway Tensei cannot fucking take it anymore he simply cannot so he hunts Aizawa like an animal to a coffee shop so he can try and squeeze Aizawa for information about whoever the fuck the other boys are so Iida can just apologize or whatever the fuck honor demands and it’s just
Aizawa: no
Tensei: you don’t even know what I was going to say
Aizawa: the answer is no whatever it is
Tensei: you havent even heard my bribe yet
Aizawa: what is your bribe
Tensei: *sliding a coffee cup his way*
Aizawa: your bribe is coffee
Aizawa: in a coffee shop
Tensei: wait
Aizawa: so it’s essentially a market value of 400 yen is that it
Tensei: wait. Okay. This is a secret, off menu coffee with so much caffeine that you have to sign a waiver. They call it the nine engine locomotive. And it can be yours if you help me out here
Aizawa:
Aizawa: *walks over to the cashier*
Tensei: fuck wait wait
Aizawa: can I have the nine engine locomotive
Cashier: do you have a death wish
Aizawa: I have two jobs and one is teaching
Cashier: sir for you we can make it ten engines
Aizawa does admit that, to his deepest misfortune, he knows one of the parents of the kids in question. He can’t hand out their information but he can pass along the message. Izuku and Shinsou end up meeting with Iida for coffee and the three of them become friends and agree to train together for whenever they reschedule the exams for
This turns out to be a moot point because, as a result of this mess, the UA board of directors has to be informed that the student involved is all mights secret son and they lose their minds. He is All Might’s secret son who has a Quirk so powerful that it explodes lesser boys. They absolutely must have him at UA they’re sure he’ll figure out how not to explode. Nedzu, Nedzu, admit him now before he accepts from another school. Nedzu.
Nedzu has 97 screened calls and a headache.
The thing is that this has caused a bit of havoc. UA is usually the first school to hold their entrance exams. They usually get the pick of the litter. But now they have to laboriously replan and reschedule the entire practical exam for every single heroics applicant, which is causing conflicts with other courses’ exams, and they need to make sure that the new exam minimizes the risk of boys exploding for legal reasons. So they’re scrambling already without the Board suddenly deciding to just let in people for being all might’s son, which they can’t do. They’re even making Endeavor’s son sit the fucking exam. Do you want the number two hero to burn the foyer down. Do you. Because he will.
But the Board is insistent. Shiketsu will steal All Might’s secret son who explodes lesser boys out from under them. Admit him.
They end up fudging it as an early admission deal based on an extreme display of heroism. He saved an actual life are you saying that’s not enough to pass the exam?? Monoma is alive and has an arm thanks to Izuku’s quick thinking, which is saving UA from an incredibly costly lawsuit. He gets full rescue points. Boom. Call him right now tell him he’s in do it before shiketsu finds out all might has a secret son that explodes lesser boys.
And nedzu’s like. Okay. But if you want that reasoning to clear, it needs to be applied to all the boys involved.
And the Board is like, wasn’t the other one an Iida boy? Great family, great Quirk, great potential. Let him in.
And Nedzu says, And Shinsou Hitoshi.
Someone with a mind control quirk like his hasn’t made it into heroics in over 30 years. The revised exam won’t give him any real chances of changing that. It’s a trade off. They can cut corners for All Might’s secret son, but they have to give Shinsou Hitoshi a chance. Nedzu has a good feeling about him, anyway.
One morning, Shinsou wakes up to a letter, and it tells him, “Hello, we think you’re spectacular, and we’d like to give you everything you’ve ever dreamed of. Won’t you say yes?”
Okay, it doesn’t say it like that. But it might as well be what he hears.
He calls Izuku. Izuku got the same letter. They scream on the phone with each other until they’re breathless and giddy.
But the thing is. UA. Also. Informed. Their Schools. Who. Made. An announcement.
Bakugou loses his fucking mind.
Bakugou didn’t even want Izuku applying to UA. Only for Izuku to be one of three people in history to get early admission offers?? He’s fucking furious. He wants to know how Izuku did it.
And the thing is? Izuku already decided that he wasn’t going to reveal his shiny new quirk to these people. He doesn’t want them to suddenly decide to treat him well because he’s not Quirkless anymore. Fuck them.
Anyway Iida Tenya, following multiple flowcharts and pro cons lists, decided that it was Acceptable Friend Behavior to surprise his new, dear companions at their schools to personally congratulate them on their early acceptance and potentially indulge in some celebratory beverages together. His school released earlier than theirs, as his school had modeled its academic structure to complete earlier in the day so that hero hopefuls could take advantage of the heroics exam prep courses it offered, which he had been excused from since he had secured early admission to UA. So it was a simple matter to head over to Aldera and catch some feral, frothing hooligan physically accosting his dear, dear friend with illegal Quirk usage no less. Iida, of course, verbally reprimanded the vagabond and marched straight to the office to report such deplorable behavior
Bakugou: who the fuck was that
Izuku, gaping after him: fuck—Iida, Iida wait
He didn’t stop him in time.
And despite Iida’s fervent and loud insistence as to what happened, the principal blames Izuku.
Iida’s someone who just cannot abide by injustice. It gets under his skin. It makes him angry. He gets more baffled and aghast and furious the more he sees how Izuku is treated. He also gets confused as to why they think Izuku’s Quirkless and, even if he was, what that would have to do with him being physically assaulted on school property.
The school, for all of its happy announcement, wasn’t actually happy that Izuku made it in. They actually called UA to make sure that they were talking about the right student, which was a fun call for Nedzu to get. They still don’t know that Izuku has a quirk, because UA didn’t tell them and neither did Izuku, so they think Izuku did some kind of first aid or something to respond to an emergency and got sort of waved into the program. So whereas Iida got a personal congratulations from his principal, Izuku got called up to the office to be asked if he really thinks that whatever minor first aid he performed means he’s ready for UA heroics? He’s taking a spot from someone who deserves it more, and it will look worse on them when it becomes clear he can’t do it. It’s selfish. He’d be better off declining it.
Izuku drags Iida off of his school grounds and to shinsou’s school. Shinsou’s got his backpack strap torn off and a fresh cut in his lip. He takes one look at Izuku and laughs, bitter and empty
Iida takes this arc the worst. He is very protective of his friends and does not want to abide by other students or adults abusing them. He wants justice.
The boy spirals. He is power walking to their schools every single day to pick them up. He is baking them high protein brownies and writing them little encouraging notes for nutritional snack packs he hand prepares. He is Exuding An Energy.
They start a shared google drive and he has an entire folder labeled “My Revenge Plan By Iida Tenya” that’s dedicated to compiling evidence regarding these injustices and one day taking away all color of power or authority from those who wronged his friends. Izuku and Shinsou don’t actually know what’s up with the folder (the google drive is sacred they’re not gonna go in his room some people have revenge plans it’s fine)
Later in the fic they invite Todoroki to join their google drive and he immediately, instinctively, and without need for explanation knows that this is the emotional equivalent of asking him to move in with them. He is honored and he is touched.
There’s a mini buzzfeed unsolved arc because Izuku and Shinsou are experimenting with shinsou’s quirk and Izuku says “hey what’s with those eight shadowy figures that watch me ominously in the distance every time you put me under” and Shinsou says “the fucking what” and Izuku says “the eight shadowy figures” and Shinsou says “say psych right now”
After determining Iida does not see them too they decide that Izuku is obviously deeply and profoundly haunted because of that one time Bakugou dared him to knock on the door of that old abandoned house everyone said was haunted and now the ghosts live in his bones. This conclusion is compounded by the fact that the past users find this fucking hilarious and decide to haze the newbie by playing it up
The issue is that Iida is extremely productive and decides that what they need is to make a tour of all major religions and sample their exorcism rituals and go from there. Izuku has had 11 exorcisms from multiple religions and now Catholic bishops won’t stop calling Iida because Izuku’s catholic exorcism was wildly and blatantly unsuccessful and they are very concerned that satan is within him and Iida is of the stance that if they couldn’t do it the first time he doesn’t see what “going to the Vatican” will do so good day sir. Iida is trying to ghost the Catholic Church he keeps blocking their number and they keep calling from a new one. Izuku is despondent he does not want to go to Rome
Eventually they have to admit to the adults in their life that Izuku is obviously, profoundly, and irreversibly haunted because they decide to just say fuck it and use it for warfare. It’s their nuclear option. Total wildcard. When they are out of all other options, Shinsou just puts Izuku under and sees what crazy shit those ghosts do. The first time they have to use it Izuku explodes into a hurricane of writhing and enraged tentacles that try to manually break shigaraki in half.
Shinsou, sweating, trying to open the folder labeled “hey there demons it’s me ya boi”
Aizawa, stone faced: why is one of the folders labeled My Revenge Plan By Iida Tenya
Iida: I don’t see how that’s relevant
Izuku: oh my gosh sensei you can’t just—
Shinsou: you can’t just ask what someone’s doing in the google drive sensei it’s sacred
Aizawa:
Shinsou: *hits play* *x-files theme song immediately begins to play* *defeated whisper* I forgot we did that
I cannot emphasize enough just the peak shenanigans of pre-UA Iida, Izuku, and Shinsou. They end up spending nearly every single day together. They sleep over at each other’s houses. They become just incredibly close and some days Shinsou can’t breathe from it, because he walked into that exam with no friends and no real hope of passing, and now some days he can’t believe that this is his life. He can’t believe he has this.
Iida’s living with his brother, who is handling the launch of the Mustufasa branch of Idaten, to take advantage of a private middle school in the area that is a feeder school into UA. They regularly have at least one student a year make it into the heroics program and multiple who manage to get into support, business, or gen ed. So throughout all this a very confused Iida Tensei is Doing His Best while his little brother and his friends end up hysterical after playing with a Ouijia board during a sleep over. He’s very confused because the other parents seem to think he is a parent and he is not he is not he’s too young and hot to be tenya’s dad. He’s in a parents group chat with Izuku’s parents and Shinsou’s dad and is like “am I. Did you mean to put me in here. Should I. Add my mom?” And then later it’s a source of great hysteria for him. What do you MEAN he’s in a group chat with All Might what do you mean all might told him that ingenium is one of his favorite heroes and Tensei didn’t even realize he was all might when he said it. Shouta shouta how could you not warn him—
When they get to UA and Izuku somehow gets two votes for class president (who the fuck voted for him Izuku didn’t even vote for himself) and ends up in a three way tie with Iida (shinsou and Izuku both voted for him he’s so type a it’s what the office needs) and Yaoyorozu and he hires Shinsou as his campaign manager to help him throw the election and Iida gets so affronted at what the resultant flyers say about his dear dear friend that he tries to passionately concede the election and Izuku is like “no I commissioned those also shinsou you’re fired” and Shinsou is like “hey every single thing I wrote is true”
Iida and Izuku but Izuku especially just acts like it’s a given that they’re going to be doing team ups with Shinsou when they’re older. Izuku commissions a voice modulator that can throw its voice between his and Shinsous to help obscure who’s talking in case anyone figures out shinsou’s quirk and Shinsou doesn’t know how to explain to Izuku that he thought no one would ever tolerate him as a hero, let alone be excited to work with him

Delgado!Master really just jumped on that rowing machine because he knew the Doctor was about to enter his prison cell, didn't he?
He then used a towel to daintily dab at his face to get all that "excercise sweat" off.
He'd been sitting in his chair and reading a book literally 2 minutes ago. We saw him. The Doctor saw him. Jo Grant saw him.

We're drawing the idiots with traditional clothing from our countries? hell yeah, here's stobotnik as Argentinian gauchos!
Plus a very normal and not at all unhinged rant about mate (the thing they're drinking) in the tags.
#stobotnik#agent stone#doctor ivo robotnik#sonic movie universe#took some liberties because i wanted to keep their colors but yeah#now hear me out i've got a little ramble about that little thing they're drinking#so that's mate#so what's that? it's basically a hot drink similar to a tea but drank in a very special way#made with the yerba mate plant (contains caffeine so perfect for robotnik)#now the way this work is you pass on that little container thing (also called mate because why the hell not)#to whoever many people there are there#but there's only one person pouring the mate#so it always returns to them before they refill it with water to give to the next person#drinking mate when it is your turn doesn't take more than a couple minutes since it's not that much water because the dried yerba mate is#there. the person pouring the water also changes the yerba or adds sugar as needed#when preparing the first mate the person pouring it has to drink it#it's polite because usually the first one tastes awful so you know they take one for the team#i think obviously stone would be the one pouring the mate but since it's a constant thing he can't just give it to rob and leave#he has to be there and actually drink himself to know when to change the yerba#so you know. community. it's a very social thing#BUT THAT'S NOT ALL#there's a sort of mate language at play here#we all know it but i've never seen anyone actually use it#thing is depending on how the mate is prepared it can mean things#like if it's cold it's a way to say get the hell out#if it's sweet it means i love you#if it's very hot it means the person serving it is angry etc#stone would so do that to be passive aggressive towards other people#rob is like wdym? stone's mates are always great#also obviously we don't see it that way but if you want to get silly about it they're indirectly kissing

Penelope's Childhood Headcanons
(some of these are a bit dark, but they are my personal ideas, no need to agree with them)
If we put all the sources together we see that Penelope has seven brothers and one sister. We know for sure that her father is Icarius, but not all authors agree on who her mother is.
I imagine that Icarius had a first wife, the naiad Periboea (from whom were born Penelope, Perileus, Thoas, Damasippus, Imeusmius and Aletes), but that then she left the palace to return to her river and that Icarius remarried, this time with Polycaste (mother of Iftime, Aliseus and Leucadius).
But how did Icarius and Periboea meet? Icarius is wounded during a hunting trip, and runs to the river to drink. There he sees some naiads and begs them to help him, because naiads are famous for healing wounds. Periboea comes forward: she has enormous eyes, diaphanous skin and does not speak the human language. She touches Icarius' wound and he heals. Icarius falls in love with her and decides to take her with him to the palace of Sparta: he has decided that she will be the mother of his children.
But nymphs cannot stay away from their element, their source of life, for long. Periboea is stunned by dry land, walking is not natural for her, dressing is not natural, all those smells and noises are not natural. Over time she becomes more and more restless and subject to violent fits of anger. She gives birth to one child after another but when she takes them in her hands she smells only the human odor and does not understand what to do with them. Her skin begins to gray, to dry out.
One night, when Penelope is about eight years old, she is awakened by the sounds of a commotion and terrible hissing. That night Periboea runs away. The next morning Icarius seems tired, but also partly relieved. The naiad was becoming more and more difficult to handle and he was afraid that she might even hurt their children. An excuse is invented on why their mother will have to stay away for a while and the children do not ask questions. Penelope knows that she will never see her again.
She didn't have a real relationship with her mother, but she still struggles to get used to her stepmother's presence. Where Periboea was cold and silent, Policasta is sunny and talkative. She hopes she can learn to love her.
At her first menstrual cycle, Icarius decides to send her to live with his brother Tindareus. Tindareus has many daughters of her age (Timandra, Filonoe, Phoebe, Helen and Clytemnestra) and two sons (Castor and Pollux), and Penelope will be able to learn a lot from them. However, the two families had already seen each other assiduously and the cousins ​​had always been very close. The girls go swimming together, learn the tasks of princesses and above all tell each other many secrets. Little by little they wait for the day when they will be ready for marriage.

local man acts how he always acts and is accused of homosexuality
#im not gonna keep up this pace. i cant post Gay Episode clips every day because im gonna run outta clips#clipreel!! lucky ducks!! anyway#bro doing things he always does. sam literally just 'i would like mineral water :]'#'i stand with my hands on my hips all the time. literally all the damn time'#'i cross my legs occasionally'#'i like drinking tea'#'i would give up my career for my friends without romance. who do you think i am!'#'i too am shy and didnt go for women while in college'#and AL. YOU like showtunes. thats YOU thats YOUR ISSUE#also important to me after that argument that you guys know that al admitted he was dumb#“al needs to have a Problem in this episode he'll work thru but... Mr. Civil rights... thats a hard sell for him to be a RAGING homophobe”#“shit... OH how about he only thinks gays shouldn't be in the military” is hilarious to me. it WAS the right move tho#if they decided they NEEDED that storybeat. that was the only way for them to do it#cause I can believe “hard-core navy man doesn't think gays should serve because of hammered-in code of conduct or whatever”#MUCH easier than “al calavicci doesn't like gay people”. you cant be friends with sam beckett and be a homophobe#...as in someone that progressive and open would not be best friends with someone that hates all gay people#you get it. you understand what i meant#anyway love wins and im glad al out loud said 'i was wrong' or else sam woulda found a way to suplex him#quantum leap#.clips#Running for Honor s4e12

“I miss my family! I miss my brothers and sisters! I want them back!” cried the boy, but nobody was there. Nobody heard the young man pleading for his brother to come home.
been playing a lot of mario galaxy recently (and by that i mean i played the entire game in two days). truly a testament to creativity in game design
#hatoful boyfriend#super mario galaxy#nageki fujishiro#hitori uzune#and obviously yes i cried#i mean yeah the storybook is very bittersweet but also#most of my fondest childhood memories are of playing mario games with my brother#it occurred to me exiting the library after the final chapter#and hearing the observatory waltz#just like. how much this game meant to my childhood. and how i always tried to beat it as a kid and only now have i done so#so yeah i had a good cry#UGH ROSALINA GETS SOOO WATERED DOWN IN POPULAR CULTURE#SHES NOT JUST A HOT SPACE LADY SHE’S A QUIET TRAGEDY. AND ALSO A GODDESS?#she is EVERYTHING to me. she is the PINNACLE of characters that are Mine. all the traits that make up My characters#speaking of My Characters i’ve definitely thought briefly about hbf and mario galaxy b4#i think i even thought about drawing nageki with a luma. i just only made something now#i feel like galaxy is one of those games that loosely inspired holiday star but i have no backing just little similarities and the timing#GOD this game is so important to me#if sunshine weren’t so damn fun and hadn’t played more of a role in my teenage years galaxy would be my favourite mario game#galaxy is more like. a relic of nostalgia for me. a totem of my childhood.#but sunshine never fuckin ends babyyy#what’s good 2000s kids we had the best generation of mario games so far#hopefully nintendo will take on some more creative shit with the switch 2 but. i kinda doubt it.#mousie lore drop for anybody who read this far: my dad actually beta tested this game in the short few months he worked at nintendo#he had some good stories about some world-fucking glitches he found. probably The COOLEST game to get to play test ever
