#its something special

[hersurvival]

Byssal threads attach and tangle,

Filaments spread, like vines,

Tethered together.

We both mistook the other for a rock.

Anchoring to what we thought

Was solid, static, steadfast

To the churning of the water around us.

Found ourselves grasping,

Holding to one another.

But at least we are not alone,

Wherever these waves may take us.

Got any cool facts about Lycanroc, Floatzel, or Talonflame?

Hmmmm, I've talked about a Talonflame, and Runt is always around to talk about it, but I haven't talked much about Sinnoh's native lifeguard.

Buizel and Floatzel are incredibly helpful water types with a pretty strong sense of duty.

While playful, they also are incredibly fast on the surface of the water and naturally boyuant, meaning they actually exert little energy, lifting someone out of the water.

They are natural lifeguards, usually living around beaches, rivers, and even around piers.

They are known to pull people out of the water if they believe they are drowning, sometimes not knowing if someone is playing or not, so better be safe than sorry.

They are also pretty closely related to Popplio in Alola, and recently we started a but of a cultural exchange out here, having some of our Buizel and Floatzel explore Alola and vice versa to see how well they interract either their environments.

Floatzel have a thick layer of natural oils that coats their fur, which helps insulate their body by running water off of them, allowing them to swim in colder waters like it's nothing.

They also have a unique fighting style involving their inflatable neck appendage, a style which has been studied by martial arts masters, resulting in a new aquatic style of fighting.

They are really cool pokemon and great companions, I highly recommend spending some time with one if you haven't already.

As much as I love angst I think it would be funny if he just didnt give af

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.

Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?

Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.

The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.

Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.

It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.

I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.

He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.

"The Titans were gentle beings, knowing neither fear nor pain. For all their power, it was the Primes who cared for them, guarding their innocent sparks." - Thundercracker, Speaker of Trypticon.

A lil bit of lore below the cut.

In my little continuity, the Primes were indeed Primus's firstborn, but they were made from the suffering of their maker as he fought to survive. The Titans though? They were born to give life, made to spread Primus's gifts to all creation. As such, they are naturally gentle and inherently incapable of violence.

They will not fight back if attacked, nor will they rise to the defense of their citizens (although they will provide weaponry and protection in the form of walls and the like). They cannot even comprehend why one would hurt another outside of the natural order of things. It is to the point where those who care for the remaining Titans have labeled them as having the cognitive capabilities of newbuilds. For all their age and wisdom, Titans are, at their core, the only entities in the universe to maintain a sense of innocence all throughout their lives. They hold no anger, no bitterness, and no grudges. Everything, in their optics, will play out as it should.

As such, the Titans have always had guardians to protect them from a reality that would seek to crush them into dust. During the first age, the Primes filled this role. In the modern era, seekers of Vos have taken on the mantle, guarding and speaking on the behalf of the three remaining Titans on Cybertron.

max's best drive ever?

Not just Max's, but 1 of the best drives in the history of the sport, definitely 1 of the finest ever driven on the intermediate tire. The way he made those tires perform on a wet resurfaced track where theres no mercy found in the white line, no rubber to build on, no drs, no easy overtake, just better cornering, that natural ability to take turns as if the racing line was drawn in front of him that is so his and so so devastating. People watch Austria and Mexico and c recklessness where theres only strength, control and complete lack of fear. In races like todays tho, u get to admire those same hands command the same respect without any room for doubt that he knows, in fact, what hes doing. Any advantage the machines may provide will dwindle and nearly dissipate because in conditions like todays it truly comes down to who knows better. And Max knew better from the moment the lights turned green. I think six cars before the main straight, dispatched, turned to nothing. When conditions worsened and race control began to play wid outcomes he not only endured, he thrived. While others began to pit he trusted himself to stay out, and he wasnt the only one but he was the 1 who did it best. 8 years ago, Max went and found grip everywhere else, and today, in the same circuit, where there was literally no grip to be found, he simply found the better line. He read the race like his favorite book while others could barely color within the shapes. It was somewhat insane to watch tbh, that disparity between racers, not only found in overtakes like on Oscar and Esteban, so crucial and so similar in the way he just knew how to position the car to catch them completely off guard, but also like, the pace alone, the relentless onslaught of perfect lap after perfect lap, 9 consecutive I think, 17 in total. This was a drive that nearly eclipsed 2023, first shades of last year without Newey in the pit wall, in a car that did so badly in Mexico it was getting outpaced by an Haas in its strongest tire. He didnt just come out from p17, he came out of a 20 second penalty, a 5 second penalty during a delayed VSC, an hammer to his quali chances for a late red flag, community service for swearing, shameless questioning of his driving, his wheel, his credibility as a champion, not just his racing but his character, too. I think its the context of all that that rlly makes the best drive of his career so far, because this was his best possible answer, and the only one that matters. p17 to p1 wid a 20 second lead. Some will reminisce about Senna, some will notice that early corner entry and admit Schumacher himself wud have struggled even a few times, the other legend on track whos as good in the wet didnt have the setup nor the confidence to show it, but I think today was a result only Max Verstappen cud have accomplished

How about Chosen and Dark being besties?

sure !! heres them travelling the outernet

[six-paths-of-jeanmarco]

their bond and the way they uplift each other is just so special to me

I love that 9/10 times in Batfam fics if Stephanie Brown isn't a main plot point of the story shes just… side questing. Like, shell appear for a few minutes in a Tim centered fic and then dip because she needs to go collect raw honey for something, or shell pop in during a damian and bruce fic and tell bruce to go fuck himself and that his smoothies taste awful and then fuck off to go drink tequila from a drain pipe, like, she is always doing the craziest shit when its not a steph centered fic, writers will just throw her in doing some random ass side quests and honestly, i love that for her. It is what she would want, i feel like. 

[beskarfrog]

but that's fine, i'd still do it all over again if you asked me to
