Tell me I'm in Ur mind as you are in my mind

[aroaceleovaldez]

the dynamic of demigods thinking which other demigod is the most powerful is always amusing to me because. like, we know the big 3 kids are all the most powerful. That's just a fact of their universe. And then we know nearly every character views Percy as the strongest demigod, and most people are very rightfully intimidated by him.

and you look at the powers of the Big 3 kids and there's Percy, but then you realize Nico is just kind of objectively more powerful than him but simply chooses to hang out in Percy's shadow like he's Percy's scary dog privileges. Like, the two of them are pretty equally capable of causing multiple different apocalypses. Nico just also has like four different instakill powers and it's not like he doesn't use them. He very much uses them! Not infrequently, even! And they don't seem to take a significant amount of energy from him! And other demigods are pretty intimidated by both of them! But Nico makes a conscious point to keep his cards close to his chest and not let on exactly how dangerous and scary he can be if he wants to. People are already scared enough of him without knowing anything about him and he doesn't like that. Percy doesn't think about that nearly as much, and so usually just goes in guns blazing and that's part of why he's considered a wildcard. And then Nico himself puts Percy on a pedestal, so those who do know more about Nico's abilities then presume Nico knows something they don't about Percy that implies Percy is even stronger than him.

And even on a meta level Nico's narrative role requires him to be functionally more powerful than Percy, because he very often serves the purpose of getting Percy out of situations he can't handle on his own. That's just part of his function as a character! But also narratively he can't overshadow Percy so he just takes a backseat of his own accord and that's very amusing to me.

Подводный водопад на острове Маврикий.

Маврикий – островное государство в Индийском океане, лежащее в 2000 км от юго-восточного побережья африканского континента. Один из самих красивых островов нашей планеты хранит на своих просторах удивительную достопримечательность – иллюзию подводного водопада, которая с высоты птичьего полета имеет неимоверно эффектный вид. Впечатляющая природная аномалия, предстающая перед воздушным наблюдателем как исполинский водопад, находится у берегов пол-ва Ле-Морн-Брабан (Le Morne Brabant), в юго-западной части островного государства Маврикий.

Причудливый ландшафт, образовавшийся под влиянием кораллового рифа, и стал причиной этого известного феномена, которым славится Маврикий. Подводный уникальный водопад – это оптическая иллюзия, игра свет, тени, цветов воды, перепада глубины, движения песка. Это своего рода естественный 3D рисунок, который создала сама природа. Вода вокруг острова настолько прозрачная, что даже с высоты многих километров отчётливо видно водопад под морем. Маврикий, снятый из космоса, тоже позволяет увидеть эту иллюзию.

Это уникальное природное явление. Ученые знают достоверно о 5 таких водопадах по всему миру. 3 из них находятся в очень отдаленных частях океана. И туда массовому туристу никак не добраться. Еще один у берегов Тасмании. Но выглядит он менее впечатляюще, да и до Тасмании добраться тоже не просто.

Если вы хотите увидеть подводный водопад острова Маврикий во всей красе, то заказывайте вертолетную экскурсию. Стоимость такой экскурсии будет зависеть от длительности полета, количества человек и типа летательного средства. Можно попытаться рассмотреть его с воды, заказав экскурсию на катамаране, с такого ракурса может быть виден только контур водопада. Еще можно подняться на вершину горы Ле Морн, откуда будут видны границы водопада, но, не насколько хорошо, как если бы вы совершали полет над ним. Дайвить в этом месте нельзя из-за сильного течения, поэтому поплавать и рассмотреть эту природную достопримечательность не получится.

Underwater waterfall on the island of Mauritius.

Mauritius is an island state in the Indian Ocean, located 2000 km from the south-eastern coast of the African continent. One of the most beautiful islands on our planet keeps in its vastness an amazing attraction - the illusion of an underwater waterfall, which from a bird's eye view has an incredibly spectacular view. An impressive natural anomaly, which appears to an aerial observer as a gigantic waterfall, is located off the coast of Le Morne Brabant peninsula, in the southwestern part of the island state of Mauritius.

The bizarre landscape, formed under the influence of a coral reef, became the cause of this famous phenomenon, for which Mauritius is famous. The underwater unique waterfall is an optical illusion, a play of light, shadow, water colors, depth differences, and sand movement. This is a kind of natural 3D drawing created by nature itself. The water around the island is so clear that even from a height of many kilometers you can clearly see the waterfall under the sea. Mauritius, photographed from space, also allows you to see this illusion.

This is a unique natural phenomenon. Scientists know for sure about 5 such waterfalls around the world. 3 of them are located in very remote parts of the ocean. And there is no way for a mass tourist to get there. Another one is off the coast of Tasmania. But it looks less impressive, and it is also not easy to get to Tasmania.

If you want to see the underwater waterfall of Mauritius in all its glory, then order a helicopter tour. The cost of such an excursion will depend on the duration of the flight, the number of people and the type of aircraft. You can try to see it from the water by ordering an excursion on a catamaran, from this angle only the outline of the waterfall can be seen. You can also climb to the top of Mount Le Morne, from where the boundaries of the waterfall will be visible, but not as well as if you were flying over it. Diving in this place is not possible due to the strong current, so you won’t be able to swim and see this natural attraction.

AU where Gon was raised in Greed Island instead of with Mito, so he grew up with the game. He spends one month more with Ging than he would in canon but is still left in the care of the other game masters as a baby, everyone is understandably angry with Ging about it, but they can't abandon Gon so they throw the baby between each other as a collective babysitting. They tend to avoid actually doing their assigned duty a lot, putting the baby under the care of a Panda Maid#99 card while they focus on their own thing. When every panda maid card hit its transformation limits they panicked, forced to babysit the kid themselves or give him to NPCs, which were worked on to have a bit more dept.

Gon learns Nen extremely young, and grows to be deeply attached to Greed Island, his home. He visits Razor, Elena, Eta, Dwun, and List, all the time and grows attached to NPCs. He guides new players too, not having a 'book' but knowing all the rules. (He used to have a book to experience the cards, but he almost won the game, which he can't do as an 'honorary game master', and had his ring confiscated)

Gon knows how important it is to explore the game yourself so he never gives away everything, and he treats NPC as 'people', to the point Gon can feel like he is an NPC of the game for those unaware GI takes place in a real island.

The Game Master Crew don't have an agreement on how old Gon must be to attend the hunter exam and search for his dad, cause they are confident Gon can breeze through the exam, but they know how insane Ging is personally, and while Gon is very competent and smart they worry for him. He takes it so personally when the NPCs he loves are hurt or disrespected and try to see the best in people. So how will they know he is in good hands out there? After much discussion, and the realization Ging will not come to visit, they decide Gon can go hunt for Ging when he is 14.

Killua learns Nen at 13 for a job, which is to kill a player in Greed Island cause the client is scared said player will finish the game before the player they want to win.

Greed Island is a game for hunters, so Gon never sees other kids who aren't NPCs made to keep him company. When Killua shows up he is delighted, he shows off every place in the game and gives more info than he probably should cause he is excited and Killua is so cool! He wants to show off! Killua lets Gon hang out at first cause he is a 'useful npc' and deep down he just really wants to interact with a kid his age, but it doesn't take too long to like him. He starts to treat Gon way better and takes him more seriously when he realizes he is a person, intrigued by his deal.

qsmp makes me feel like a conspiracy theorist almost constantly. I see someone go "yeah bad almost exclusively chooses tophats in games when given the option" and I immediately run back to my conspiracy board and pin that next to the photo of q!slime and q!mariana saying they'll adopt juanaflippa because she has glasses like q!slime/q!mariana respectively under a sticky note captioned "??? the original spanish-english egg pairs were designed in a way meant to attract certain parents to adopting them???", that's connected by red string to a note pad page stating "how random was the parent pairing REALLY?" with nothing under it - which is then connected to a string that leads to several polaroids containing the ending(s) of the wall and the wreckage of the button, captioned "why build a wall that big only to have it end at a certain point?" followed by a string connected to a notebook page in the middle of the board reading "the illusion of choice?" - connected to several other seemingly dead-end questions and theories, as well as some slight stragglers only connected to eachother and not the middle. and then I look over my board covered in feverish notes and I go. yeah okay so I may just have like a slight problem
