#it makes sense bc im ON the team with all the mermaids but still

[exlimix1a]

Another artfight attack! This character is named Miriam Myriade and belongs to Dalblauw!

[coolauntlilith]

Every now and then I replay the first episode of VLD and I wonder why I thought it be a good show lol

[jessiescock]

Some sort of unspeakable crime has been committed here

Personally i think having the soundtrack of the little mermaid reflect the new cast by including black music styles sounds like a great idea!

I wouldn't have thought of like. Rap music as my first choice for an adaption that's trying to stay faithful to the original, bc it doesn't really blend in well with the rest of the soundtrack? Idk maybe something afro-caribbean, there's already some influences from that in the 89 soundtrack. And while you're at it why not change the setting to a Caribbean inspired fantasy kingdom! What with the live action things all trying to be more 'realistic' it would actually make much more sense for the coral reefs and colourful fish and shit to be located in some sort of tropical ocean instead of fantasy denmark? (Idk for sure on this im not an expert on marine biology). Also if they weren't cowards they could've cast a non-white guy as eric too. But i digress

Maybe the rap music thing could've actually been a fun cool new twist to the old movie, which theoretically i would love to see more of in those soulless remakes! Could've been really cool too yea. Still sounds like a good idea on paper!

If they had hired literally anyone else to write the songs. instead of LMM

Like someone who. Idk knows how to write good rap songs

I fucking hate it here

Great job on making such diverse movies guys. Btw would you mind telling me how many non-white ppl are on the writing team? Or the the producers? The Director? Costume designers maybe? Oh yea i see. Mmh yea ok. lin manuel miranda huh. Ok

[your-dead-european-ancestor]

Okay i really want to ramble about this au soooo,

I still cant decide if they should still play soccer (the comedic potential yall) or if they should play something else that would make more sense

yes tiger is a fire elemental. Yes hes bald if you put out his hair. Basically he can make fire and throw it at stuff but he cant control or put out already existing fire. His hair gets bigger when hes mad and his eyes can also catch fire

North shaw is a water creature of some kind. Still havent decided what yet but i know hes gonna have a mermaid form along with a form with actual legs. He has webbed hands and feet.

Cool joe is a robot with a disco ball afro. I just think it'd be funny if he were to go "man i hate technology nowdays this brick works perfectly fine as a phone wdym" and the others would go "but you are technology???"

Klaus is an angel. Now literally and figuretively. He also has a biblically accurate form (inspired by @strudelbbg's wonderful rb). The way angels work here is the more pure they are the bigger their wings get, and the only reason klaus' wings arent gigantic is bc he reads smut

el matador has ✨magical hair✨. He can control it but sometimes it does its own thing. Like when hes extremely mad or happy or if hes just being an idiot. Basically it takes control whenever he feels extreme emotions or if the hair doesnt agree with his life choices.

blok is a cyclops bc why not. Hes pretty much indestructible and absolutely gigantic.

big bo can generate extra arms. But not like flesh arms? More like in a shadow-y ghostly way

Coach has All Seeing Eyes. You Can Not Keep Anything Hidden From Him. Many Have Tried. Many Have Failed.

Still havent decided what dancing rasta should be (pls give me suggestions?)

Shakes is the only human there. But he is very skilled and have a lot of gadgets so he can stay

Now for some of the other teams (i havent thought of much tho):

Miko chen is a shadow creature. He can turn into other people's shadows and generate shadow blasts and shit

liquido is a water elemental. Which means his toothpaste hair just got worse (its now made of water. It jiggles)

the entire grim fc is now just what they cosplay as. For example: vampire, werewolf,etc etc.

Thats pretty much all ive got so far lol. Lmk if i forgot someone in supa strikas' team or if you have any suggestions on what the others should be (im vv confused on some of them)

Non human supa strikas au?

[sonicfrontiers]

OOUGGH IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THINKING ABOUT SEA OF THIEVES HLVRAI AU... PLEASE !!!! PLEASE PLEASE SHARE UR IDEAS I WANNA HEAR THEM SO BAD

OHHH ANON YOU HAVE SAVED MY FUCKING LIFE WITH THIS ASK THANK YOU SO MUCH

SO !! i barely have anything yet bc i just had this fucking brain blast like an hour ago but. here are my Thoughts so far:

so the very first thing i tried to think of was like. what everyone is? i did my best w this but i am so fuckin open to ideas..... i don’t know shit! 

the easiest answer right off the bat was who the humans are (or at least the pirates who appear to be human) in this. we got the science team as the pirate crew—gordon, tommy, bubby, and coomer! they are sailing the seas and maybe they are not doing a very good job of it but it’s fine. it’s Fine

the second easiest answer was benrey’s situation. we got skeletons fuck yeah. benrey got some of that curse uh oh! however w benrey’s situation that’s more like... sometimes being a skeleton rather than just steadily turning into one, i thought maybe the curse fucked up on him? maybe it’s like. he’s only half cursed to just sometimes be a skeleton but he can also look human again too. i don’t fucking know. also OH SHIT BENREY HAS TO BE NOT HUMAN UHJHHHHHHHH fuck it guess he’s part ancient now too. i guess. shit i’ll have to spend more time on him but this is.. the gist

next we got uhh forzen babey. i’ll be honest i’m not too confident on this one. i had the vague idea that maybe he’s a mermaid? although whether he’s one of the mermaids that steals sunken pirates and turns them into mermaids or one of the mermaids who was turned into a pirate i can’t really decide. i mean the pirates-turned-mermaids are always helpful in game, and forzen. well. Isn’t, but the mermaid-mermaids live so far deep that they’re never seen? so i don’t know. but he’s out there.... in the ocean....... somewhere....... waiting for me to have more brain power to answer this

it’s darnold time! i’ll be honest i also don’t have many ideas for this guy. i thought maybe he’s got something to do with the order of souls? that’s vaguely related to potions right? sage darnold with the oos eyes curse and he reads the fuckin skull juices to help out the crew with their voyages..... i think? there are other options too but this is the one that jumped out at me the most!

GREGORY MAN. the man himself. SO I GOT TWO POSSIBILITIES HERE FOR THIS GUY. what i can’t decide on is how much of canon sot i want to be canon in this au... mainly, the stuff abt the pirate lord. i got two options here, one of which is that ramsey still exists as the pirate lord and he hangs out doing mostly the same shit he does in canon, and gman is like. an ancient who stuck around the sea of thieves for whatever reason? which would make tommy a descendant of the ancients too, hence why i specified earlier that all the pirates in the crew might not be human..... EITHER THAT OR gman is the pirate lord and ramsey fuckin uh doesn’t exist in the au. and i CANNOT for the life of me decide which i like better. ANY HELP APPRECIATE HERE PLS

OH ALSO I FORGOT SUNKIST HE’S A MONKEY THAT TOMMY HAS AND HE CAN DO COOL TRICKS AND EVERYONE LOVES HIM. HE’S IMMORTAL SOMEHOW. DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT

THEN. it’s tim,e for “how the fuck did everyone get past the shroud into the sot”

i think no matter who the pirate lord is in this au they’d have no problems letting pretty much anyone in honestly. ramsey just kinda says “oh you washed up unconscious on the shores of old sailor’s isle? cool let me just not ask any questions and part the shroud for you real quick ok bye” and honestly i can’t imagine gman would be much different—although he’d probably be more cryptic abt it than ramsey is

SO. GORDOS. i feel like him coming to the sot was a last resort of sorts. he feels lost in life, unsure what his goal is or where he’s going, and he hears of this mystical sea that nobody who enters ever leaves but apparently there’s adventure and treasure and wonder there so he’s like fuck it, i’ve got nothing else to do and goes there hoping to find some sort of purpose. and find it he does :)

tommy time! i feel like whatever brought him here had to be partially related to his dad? either he’s just There bc. well. his dad’s the fuckin pirate lord, or gman’s all cryptid abt being an ancient and left tommy to sort of grow up in the sot on his own while gman kept a distant eye on him, just so tommy wouldn’t find out too much abt being an ancient or whatever. uh. so he’s pretty familiar w the world of sot and all its wacky magic shit! 

(actual sot lore question here bc this is smth i don’t know—does all the magic that happens in sea of thieves happen beyond the shroud? i wonder if the rest of the world also has skeletons and giant sea monsters and magic and shit or if it’s just inside the sea of thieves...... hmmm for this au i’m gonna assume that all magic is something unique to the sea of thieves and doesn’t happen beyond the shroud) 

The Bubby. honestly i like the idea that bubby came to the sot just to like... get away from the outside world? like maybe he’s on the run from something............ this is very very vague in my mind and is extremely subject to change but i like the whole “I’M LEAVING THIS WORLD!” thing as bubby being like fuck the regular world i’m going into the flesh eating devil shroud and nobody can stop me. and then he did

coomer. the man himself. i think coomer came to the sot searching for adventure! and more to learn! he’s always looking to broaden his horizons and where else to go but to the mystical sea of thieves when looking for new experiences? coomer is just here to have a good time :)

UH i think darnold already existed in the sot... he just sorta Lives There... there are npcs who just fucking were born and raised there right. like tasha was in the sot at age 4 so it makes sense right?? darnold just live here and he helps get the crew from the outside world familiar with the sot!

FORZEN has been in the sot for ages—either he’s always been here as a mermaid or he got turned into one so long ago and he’s just been getting angrier and angrier w it every year he’s trapped here. he barely remember why he came anymore but god does he regret it. :(

gman either way just kind of Is There huh..... as the pirate lord i honestly can’t imagine his origin being much different than ramsey’s? like he just makes friends w the ancients like hey what’s up i like this sea. my sea now. or he Is an ancient and just fucking chills there. whatever

OK THAT’S MOSTLY IT FOR WHAT I HAVE FOR TECHNICAL STUFF WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT..... HERE ARE SOME OTHER FUN BITS I THOUGHT OF:

bubby discovers firebombs and Uh Oh. Uh Oh Everyone Watch Out Bubby’s Got Fire Powers Now. he only accidentally sets the ship on fire SOMETIMES it’s FINE. (also his favorite region is the devil’s roar. unsurprisingly. he likes the chaos it brings)

bubby and tommy + coomer as well are agents of chaos in general. they don’t follow the fuckin Rules and it makes gordon’s life a living hell. 

bubby: look gordon i dug up some grubs! gordon: cool man, put those in the barrel and we can use them to fish late- bubby: (shoving the grubs in his mouth) gordon: BUBBY NO WHAT THE FUCK DON’T EAT TH coomer: oh, what a good idea, bubby! i am feeling quite hungry myself! (also starts eating worms) gordon: I’M COOKING DINNER AT THE CAMPFIRE RIGHT NOW PLEASE DON’T tommy: oh are the worms okay to eat? i wonder what they taste like gordon: NO STOP benrey, shoving worms in gordon’s face: eat worms? eat worms now please?

coomer finds out how to launch himself out of a cannon and he becomes unstoppable. the crew is attacked by an enemy ship and everyone’s like “oh fuck everyone get to the cannons!” and they go there to find coomer fucking launching himself directly onto the enemy ship, and he kills their entire crew in seconds. by the time he mermaids back to his ship everyone is fucking stunned silent and coomer is just like “well, that takes care of that! let’s get back on course, gentlemen!” and since then they just fucking fire coomer at people like a weapon whenever they get attacked by other pirates or skeletons. It Always Works

UH AND I THINK THAT’S KIND OF WHAT I HAVE SO FAR? i might be forgetting something but this post is long enough as is...... 

IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING TO ADD FEEL FREE!!! i love sea of thieves so fuckin much man... and i didn’t even TOUCH on anything like any of the reaper’s bones shit which i would be interested in looking at getting involved in this au somehow...... i will probably come back to this if anyone else is interested !! otherwise that’s all i got for now!!!! thank you so much for asking anon!!!!!

[cruddyborderlandstheories]

alright well now that i’ve got that random bout of “god damn it balance team” out of my system,,,

h2o au lore time

i hit 235 pages the other night!!! this is the longest thing I’ve ever written. I thought my 100 page FFXV H2O AU would take the cake for a while there with 100 pages, but nope. Borderlands.

🥳 a snippet from Junpai-7, long before the events of BL3.

ahaha it’s not mermay anymore u thought u were safe NOPE im full of anxiety and cheese puffs and here to wreak havoc

ive been working on and off these past few nights. it’s been a rough time for... everybody and everything, so i haven’t really had the motivation to write.

but i’ve been playing thru the cartels event while i’ve got time and thinking about the different stones for different magics because obviously these eridium snorting badasses (the sirens, not the cartel) gotta have parallels right?

so obviously eridium is for sirens (and possibly anointed?? im still a little lost on them)

i was thinking for psychics they could have those red eridian crystals that are shown around nekrotefeyo (explaining why Troy has 2 hanging around his neck all the time) and also why his psychic powers are stronger than anyone else in the AU. 

but idk if they have a name other than Eridian Crystal, you know?? should I come up with a name??? because im really bad at that.

also you know how jack’s mind control collar turned lilith’s tattoos that pinkish red?

haha, yeah. maybe it was a mix of eridium purple/red eridian crystals. dunno where jack would’ve got his grubby little hands on eridian crystals, but if they were all the fuck over Nekro powering stuff up, maybe he was able to find ‘em somewhere in an Eridian ruin on Pandora powering, like, a giant fuckoff elevator.

obviously merfolk and werebeasts have the moonstone from TPS (because COME ONNN)

because its literally this game’s eridium and IT’S SO COOL

and as much as i don’t really like the mako mermaids lore additions, you gotta admit the moon rings are pretty dope

like come on

COME ONNNNN

i also like the idea that, well you know how on pandora originally the Vault colorings were these blue-ish white color? I like to imagine that Elpis (moonstone) played a part in stasis-ing the vaults and keeping them from turning the more Eridium/purple color (indicating that they are charging/opening). so elpis/moonstone was actually keeping the Vaults from opening before the 200 year charge period (and obviously sirens can charge vault keys as a catalyst w/ eridium so the fact that the Vaults turn eridium purple, since eridium is so closely linked to sirens, makes sense)

im not sure about fae tho. I want zer0 to have something cool :( I guess they could share with psychics (especially since Zer0′s whole thing is r e d) but I kinda want them to have something unique. like merfolk/werebeasts have that connection to the moon, the transformations, but idk about fae/psychics. it doesn’t sit right with me. 

oooo ooooohhhhhh i know, there’s one more I haven’t thought of. the green. yes. we know it’s canon and not just the bloody harvest event bc of guns love and tentacles. and the wisps/spirits we see in that DLC remind me a lot of will o’ the wisps that fae can be associated with. so sure. say there’s a green... crystal somewhere out there. that, plus its associated with the portals we see often in these events. plus as a dullahan, at least for zer0, that would make a lotta sense given they’re often associated with death. idk about the other fae tho 🤔 i would very much like to see an elaboration on dark maliwan and their research bc obviously there was something going on there. but alas. i have to do everything my damn self.

“I am eternal / death will never capture me / my skills exceed his” also has a much cooler meaning now that we know Zer0 is associated with the death dimension. dope.

also also

“They do not appreciate being watched while on their errands, throwing a basin of blood on those who dare to do so (often a mark that they are among the next to die)”

hehe, death mark. 

[farklelucas]

all about the lesbian sea pirate

ahsjdkflg okay im gonna do the first section above the cut and the rest under

send me an oc and some numbers pls!! | here are my ocs!

Section 1 - About:

1. Briefly Describe your OC: Appearance, personality, role in a story, etc..

okay so!! hana is half-japanese, half-german, she’s got short/spiky black hair and fucking Huge brown eyes. she’s the protagonist of a thus-unwritten pirate love story and i fucking love her. she’s superbly socially awkward (doesn’t get customs like politeness or like asking before doing things asdjkfl), she’s a Romantic romantic, she loves sword-fighting, she was raised by her father (alongside three older half-brothers, though she was chosen as the heir to his ship which hmm pissed two of them off), she’s very much butch/tomboy, she loves adventure and sailing so fucking much, uhhh yeah her.

2. Briefly describe their backstory/childhood

like i said, she was raised by her dad, who she idolizes, along with her three brothers on the sea; she never knew her mother, because her father told her that she died giving birth to hana (or did she….? hm. maybe hana’s dad is just shitty?). she was always super excited to play and go on adventures and fight, especially with her three older brothers (only one of whom actually like. liked her.), and by the time she was old enough to hold a sword, her dad taught her how to. eventually, her dad became ill, and named hana, who was only 16, his successor. her two eldest brothers planned a mutiny to overthrow her, killing the other brother who protested. hana fought them but they escaped with half her treasure, promising to come back and kill her, and she’s spent the past six years seeking them out to defeat them.

3. Describe their family life and friends.

i mean i pretty much nailed her family, but she’s very close to all the crew. i’ll give you a quick rundown: there’s caspian, her first mate/quartermaster (grew up on the ship with her, an orphan who was stolen in one of the raids, searching out his lost family but is also a big time goof), dover, her “advisor”/sailing master (wise, lazy, arrogant, bitchy, basically her pseudo-father because her father was usually off being captain), darya, her gunner (slutty bisexual aromantic queen, runs the artillery AND the under deck gambling ring, always drunk, loyal to a fault especially to hana), and zarya (we’ll get to her later ;)) and the other lower-ranking crew members.

4. What is the world they come from like?

hmmm very mystical and mysterious, very “pirates are bad and suck and we dont like them even though they’re not usually bad” but. you know. hana is still an outlaw of the land. there are mermaids and sirens and cracken and curses so it’s better to assume that if its magical it exists.

5. Are they original or exist in a certain fandom?

original!!

6. Are they an introvert or extrovert?

extroverted babey

7. Greatest fear?

being unable to sail but also, later on, (SPOILERS) being arrogant and greedy and malicious like her father

8. What’s their sense of humor like?

honestly just fucking. stupid. she probably likes puns and like dirty jokes.

9. Favorite pieces of fiction or genres they enjoy?

i dont think she can read???? but her third eldest brother bourne would usually tell her princess stories and she liked those

10. Favorite music genres?

folk ig

11. Describe their vision of a perfect spouse, if applicable.

a tall, beautiful, kindhearted woman, who sees past the pirate savagery and sees her heart beneath; a woman who can rule the sea alongside her and knows how to handle her and keep her in check. (looks at zarya meaningfully)

12. Largest regret?

not being able to save bourne

13. Something your OC would say?

my quote for her in her bio is “what am i without adventure?” but i also imagine her saying to zarya, “you are more celestial than the stars, my love, and twice as beautiful to behold.”

14. Whats their morality like?

technically lawful good but could be a roulette wheel depending on the day

15. Would they live in a city, rural area, or suburb?

oof none but if she had to probably rural

16. Which actor would you like to portray your OC? (Or a voice actor)

sjskdldldl my face claim is jen ruggirello

17. Sexuality? Gender Identity?

lesbian baby!!!!!

18. What inspired you to make this character?

honestly?? probably a lack of rep in romance and adventure novels. i just love her!!!

Section 2 - If…

1. If they existed in another decade, what would they wear? (Asker can choose what decade) (Bonus points if you draw them!)

hmmm ill pick… current day tbh, and i imagine lots of overalls and baggy sweaters!

2. If they were in a RPG, what would be their class?

i have to imagine somewhere between paladin and a fighter, im not sure which.

3. If they received a large amount of money no strings attached, what would they use it for?

i honestly think she would just. go into the nearest village and buy all the local hungry children bread. like she wouldn’t horde it or spend it on herself. she has everything she needs.

4. If they competed on a competitive TV show, how would they approach to winning? (the “mean” one, the one who makes friends, the one who’s there for fun)

hm… i honestly dont even think she would think about it like that dkdkflfl. probably the charming one, the leader, the adorkable one.

5. If they could change one thing about their past, what would it be?

i think she would choose to keep in contact with her mother. not necessarily live with her, because then she wouldnt have her first love which is the sea, but just like. talk to her. know her better. go see her every few months. write her from different ports about their adventures.

6. If you met them, what would they do?

i would honestly probably be so fucking charmed by her. shes got that way about her, a leadership quality you can’t shake, even if shes really incredibly awkward too.

7. If your character exists in another series’ world, what would they be doing/look like?

i kind of imagine her in harry potter as like. this half blood gryffindor who’s So Gryffindor it hurts. on the quidditch team, always screaming about house pride, everyone loves her. and then she goes and falls in love with this muggle born slytherin and shakes the whole school dkdkkrklr

Section 3 - Other:

1. What other OCs would they get along with?

oh… i think it’s kind of cheap to say jack, because they’re both pirates, but honestly i think they’d get on like a house on fire. other than that… definitely michael minkus, who would make an epic first mate, and lucy stilinksi-hale, who she would probably wanna smash.

2. What’s their singing voice like?

bad. comically bad. she tries to sing to zarya sometimes and zarya locks her out of their room.

3. Take a personality test as the character. Post results.

okay so ive already taken a couple for her in the past (ex: gryffindor, entj, the motivator, etc.) so im gonna take a completely benign one off buzzfeed and post the results. so if she were a song off of thank you next she would be “bad idea” skskkdkd

4. What would be their fighting style in a fighting game like Mortal Kombat, Super Smash Brothers, or Street Fighter?

to outsmart her opponent, think two moves ahead of theirs just like in real life. jokes on her no one else is ever thinking skdkkfkfl

5. What are some mannerisms/quirks?

putting her feet up on tables, walking into rooms without invitation, holing up in her cabin for days working, smirking instead of smiling, smoking, docking in random cities for the thrill of adventure, wearing her blouses nearly completely unbuttoned, just taking things and enforcing sharing bc. she’s always shared everything with everyone naturally and she doesnt know to ask djdkfkfk

6. Describe their favorite meal.

honestly she’ll eat anything but just like. a Nice leg of mutton and a glass of beer. that’s it. that’s the dream.

7. What do they do when they’re bored?

her favorite activity is to randomly attack caspian and have impromptu sword fights with him, but she also loves stargazing and telling stories to the town children.

8. How do they express love/affection for someone?

honestly she’s very. nuzzley. soft. like a little kitten. also waxes poetic. at least romantically. platonically, shes usually like a dad friend sjdkkrlr. like im talking “attaboy” and punches on the arm. pep talks. dad voice. the whole nine yards.

9. Most embarrassing thing that could/has happened to them?

honestly, she’s not easily embarrassed ever. i think she’s kind of just like meh over most things. the most embarrassing thing that could happen would be losing the respect of her crew. she would hate that so much.

10. Make a portrait sketch of them!

[discranola]

autistic robin evidence

warning: super super long

y’all ready for this

evidence number ONE!!!! raptor hands!!! (this is also a thing i do!!)

ok so theres a rlly good blog called starbutterflyisautistic that shows exactly wht raptor hands are so!! heres a pic of star with raptor hands:

aND NOW HERES ROBIN W RAPTOR HANDS!!!

i have more examples in a post here (i only used th hd examples fr this post)

evidence two!! no gotdam personal space

that last one gets bonus points because hes literally inside cyborgs body (they have to tear apart cyborgs body to get him out)

evvvidence three: difficulty understanding the rules of conversation, difficulty understanding group interactions, difficulty maintaining friendships.

hoo boy this one. robin is, rlly, rlly bad at this. like rlly bad. combined w his poor empathy this puts him in a lot of bad situations like,

...the titans kicking him from the team for working them too hard and having no cares for their problems (the only reason robin became the leader again was because he broke kid flash’s leg). this situation happens twice, actually! theres two whole episodes (well, three since the second one is a two-parter) where kid flash takes over the titans since hs actually treats them well.

this isnt just robin being mean though!!

in one episode he says that he really does love and appreciate his team, he just doesn’t know how to show it at all, which leads to situations like him promising them pizza and then saying they have to pay for it

evidence four (back to th positive stuff!!!!!): special interests and infodumping!!!

...the other titans dont rlly appreciate it.

see, robin doesnt really infodump about idk, movies or games. he infodumps about money planning and public holidays.

this doesnt even happen once, theres several episodes where robin goes on about them while trying to explain them to the other titans and hes absolutely delighted. of course, it always backfires because well, 

the titans think hes more boring than paint drying.

evidence five! oh boy this is a lot of evidence the way he talks

i was debating on whether or not to include this one, since it seems nearly every character on this show yells.... except apparently that isnt really the case.

in the episode jinxed, its shown that robin actually talks. a lot. loudly. so much that the other titans celebrate when he loses his voice (its a little mermaid-esque episode, kinda). dont know if this one exactly counts, but thats how i saw the episode.

evidence six is unusual attachments to objects and comfort objects, which is the plot of an entire episode!!

in the episode staff meeting robin uhh

is really attached to his staff (he straight up calls it his best friend which makes cyborg upset), and gets mad when his friends insult it and his attachment. in the same episode, the staff breaks (thanks to the other titans) and,

robin breaks too. he literally cant fight crime effectively anymore because he cares about his staff that much and pretty much falls into a depression until the titans decide to fix it for him.

EVIDENCE SEVEN!!! perfectionism.

in the episode ‘some of their parts’, robin gets split into his 5 main personality traits. obsessive, paranoid, crazy, controlling... and perfectionist.

 apart from that already glaring piece of evidence, in the episode ‘uncle jokes’ when the titans dont meet the team dynamic they usually do, robin breaks down and starts acting like the other titans to “fix” the dynamic and make everything normal again because he cant handle change (which would fall under controlling as well, maybe???).

evidence eight/nine, and its two i really relate to. sensory issues and samefooding. (samefooding is when you eat the same foods over and over again without eating anything else, and its pretty common w autistic ppl including me)

to start this evidence off, robin literally cannot eat spicy foods. sometimes he cant even be around them.

he gets choked up and instantly has to replace the sensory with something else bc its simply way too much for him to handle, same buddy

and onto samefooding! robins done this twice in the show, in the episode ‘spice game’ (potatoes) and in th episode ‘the avogodo’ (avocados, duh). 

the titans dont like eating potatoes because theyre too bland (see th sensory issues above) and are sick of robin samefooding so much, which leads to them eating spicy foods (which robin understandably hates)

evidence ten (oh boy, two digits) is routines. theres probably a lot of evidence for this in the show and im just forgetful, but at the moment all i can think of is robin’s sleep pattern. in the episode ‘spice game’ (oh boy theres a lot of this episode on this list), he quickly abandons a conversation with the titans at exactly 7:15pm stating that its his bedtime why would he have one theres no adults in the titans tower and in other episodes, he states he needs an exact number of hours of sleep and that he apparently makes sleeping a sport (according to cyborg, at least). this behaviour COULD also count towards evidence seven (perfectionism)

evidence eleven!!!! robin is, really gullible and trusting. and really, really bad at sensing sarcasm at times. when the titans joke around at the idea of him becoming a cat by wishing on a shooting star, he honest to god gets off the couch and starts talking to the sky hoping it’ll work

in a meaner example in the april fools episode (although its implied the whole episode is staged im still including this one) the titans apart from raven somehow manage to trick robin into thinking his parents are alive which isnt too unbelievable for him to think, since hes hallucinated them before, but thats for a completely different overly long headcanon post and gets extremely upset when he finds out the titans were tricking him.

and finally, for evidence number twelve, because if i keep going this list will be way too long, the one you probably all saw coming,

robin stims!!!!

well, i only have two gifs of evidence for this, but he stims!! which i think is the one autistic behavior everyone knows about

in conclusion, i have no idea how to end this post, since this took me literal hours to type which is probably why the tone changes alot, 

but i hope u guys enjoyed me infodumping for way too long about a headcanon i have!!!!!

💖

[kingjem]

i am salty!!! so imma raNT here we go

FIRST OF ALL: I understand why so many ppl love lance, bc honestly same??? When i watched voltron for the first time, Shiro and Lance were my all time faves, as a latina it made me so goddamn happy to see a character that wasnt a huge stereotype, but then i entered the fandom, and godfucking damn, yall made me actually dislike lances character so FUCKING MUCH, yall reduced him to a depressed latin lover, which is JUST WRONG.

hes such a deep character with insecurities and flaws, yes news flash hes not fucking perfect? hes arrogant, can be mean to his team members, etc

so ya congrats on ruining a perfectly good boy

SECONDLY: if yall have been following me yall would know im a shaladin, more specifically sheith and shance, LISTEN i dont hate klance, its an okay ship, but i just cant ship two characters who’re constantly at each others necks, and the ‘’bonding moment’’ is played off by one of them, the fandom has ruined both characters for me, in a way i cant ship them (i still ship them with other characters, ie sheith and hance)

MOVING ON: Hunk, hunk is one of my fave characters, admittedly i didnt like him all that much in season one, but after the mermaid episode, he grew on me like a fucking weed, guys, he’s fat, we know this, yall dont gotta downplay it, but its not a bad thing! tbh i dont blame hunks food jokes personality on the fandom, and i really fucking hope the writers elaborate more on his character.

NEXT, the next black paladin, this is a topic i dont like talking all that much abt but it needs to be said, I do not like the idea of black paladin lance, WHATSOEVER, heres why: Lance i agree can be calm in dangerous situations, but he lacks qualities that would make him a good leader, lance is terrible at making important decisions in the heat of the moment, he looks at other people for guidance (WHICH ISNT A BAD THING) lances character has a lot of room for improvement, but i dont think he’ll be the black paladin, on the other hand, keith i think has more qualities thatd make him a better leader and this is based on his ability to make tough decisions even if they arent the morally correct ones for himself, example, when Allura had been taken by the galra, towards the end of season 1, shiro made the decision of going after her, but this is because shiro felt it was his fault allura had been kidnapped, he felt he could’ve done something more to help her, keith told the team they shouldnt do it, and even hunk said ‘’thats cold even for you man’’ and thats the entire point!!! keith can be cold, but he puts the greater good above his own.

NEXT! the age discourse, ive argued abt this so many times it gets old but, guys!! the ages arent confirmed, shiro is 25!!! I hear u say, no no, he’s in the range, which makes sense, since i think its safe to assume hunk, lance and keith are around 17-19, this would put shiro at around 22-25, THIS IS IMPORTANT, a relationship where one of them is 17 and the other 25 IS NOT PEDOPHILIA, it would be considered pedophilia, if lets say keith, hunk, lance where idk 13? pedophilia is where the younger party is PREPUBESENT, THAT MEAN S PRIOR TO PUBERTY which is in the age range of 11-13.

i think thats all for now, :^

im gonna actually write up a post bc i did rant abt it on twitter more than once. and this is ofc just my opinion but it bugs me so u have to hear it

stop trying to make fantasy stories scifi. 

this isnt a “dont blend genres bc i don’t like it” i genuinely mean it. if you wanna write scifi (science fiction, fiction grounded in scientific explanations) then write science fiction. if you do into the fantasy genre and start going “why are all of these magical creatures grounded in magic from time periods before science and medicine were not fully understood not following the laws of science” you’re not gonna have an easy time. 

like idk we’re gonna use mermaids and vampires bc i see a lot of those used in this way and i love to write them. they don’t follow the laws of biology. they flat out don’t. this isn’t a question or an invitation to debate it, they flat out don’t. there is a lot of their bodies, how the work, and just the core of what makes them vampires and mermaids that doesn’t really makes any biological sense. vampires need blood, and if you try to write some weird ‘how they transform and synthesize blood into their bodies and how this came about’ and end up giving us details about their fucking chromosomes like stephani meyer, it still doesn’t make sense. the only thing you’re doing is jumping half science facts on the reader, despite the fact none of that matters really for a fantasy story. 

mermaids again “why don’t they have n breasts, they aren’t streamlined, the hair gets in the way” if you wanna make a perfect vaguely humanoid water monster which can be cute or horrifying make that. do not try to use science to turn a mermaid into that good scifi water monster you wanna write. mermaids are more than likely humans involved with some kinda magic, because they still look like humans. there is no real way to have the concept of “part water creature like a fish and part human” and have it be explained by evolution because humans are not in any way evolved for water. point blank. a lot of ‘human’ traits would have never fucking survived.  

if you wanna blend fantasy and scifi, it will take a lot of work. blending genres can be extremely difficult, especially when you have two genres with entirely different standard rule guidelines they base their world building upon. but it can create very unique, memorable stories. 

if you love scifi: write scifi. if you love exploring scientific explanations and crafting creatures that follow science, thats fine! no one is saying you have to write a scifi story in space. write it in medieval europe, on a pirate ship, in a classic old school 1920′s horror setting. 

if you love fantasy: write fantasy. flesh out fully the rules of magic or how the world works. flesh out systems and societies. flesh out how your characters navigate it, and tell your story without feeling like you have to explain every part of it in a realistic way. its fantasy. so long as it is internally consistent, it doesn’t have to follow our rules. write about a buddy cop team investigating a dead mermaid family in the bay. write about a harpy who becomes a pilot so she can finally fly the way she always dreamed. write a fantasy story not in the typical middle earth-tolkien inspired fantasy setting. 

write the genre you want and if you want to blend genre’s, take the time to do it. don’t feel like you have to do things a certain way. and i mean if you wanna write scifi mermaids there is nothing i can do to stop you, if you wanna write scifi vampires i cant stop you either. but just really take time to examine what those scientific explanations do for your story
