Like I get that there are disparities in the US between different quality of education in different regions but come the fuck on. It's Not the job of the education system to teach you literally Everything you should know as an adult human. At some point you gotta take responsibility for your own knowledge. Take the little rectangle that contains the wealth of human knowledge you keep in your pocket and go on wikipedia and look at a list of the most populated cities in the world, as a start. You're allowed to not know everything about everything but don't blame others for your own ignorance my god.

here is another silly thing about alphinaud. is that he loves to Get information he’s like a little information magpie but as soon as he gets it he latches onto it for the next several days to weeks. he finds out that spending money is something you need to be careful about he’s going to bring it up and be extra frugal every time he buys something for a week. he learns how to collect firewood he’s going to volunteer for it as if he is already very good at it and knows a lot about it. alphinaud is the kind of person to learn a fun relevant fact about birds and tell you, as soon as it comes up, this fun fact about birds that he’s been dying to tell someone for hours. someone let him infodump about social policy

we do not understand human emotions, we do not feel them, to us it's all a game and even when we try it will inevitably lead to death, destruction and human suffering

Headcanon of the day is that Fairies tend to LOVE bugs. Specifically bugs like beetles or bees, because they share a similar wing shape! "Bug" is a common affectionate name for Fairies' partners or children, and parents tend to coo phrases like "my adorable little insect". Bugs are treasured creatures, and there's probably a dozen little superstitions relating to how seeing a certain bug in your house brings good luck.

This also happens to fit in with Anti-Fairies, who have bat-like wings and use "bat" as an affectionate nickname. Encouraging Anti-Fairy children to hate their counterparts tends to go something along the lines of "you'll hunt them down, just like the bats of the wild do to bugs!"

They look like bats for a reason, they'll say, and maybe it's partially true! Perhaps they co-evolved just like bats and moths did, evolved to hunt down their 'prey' with efficiency. Ideally. Unfortunately all of them are kinda stupid in one way or another </3

Daily fish fact #685

Lampreys!

While some lampreys turn to a parasitic lifestyle as adults, drilling into the sides of bigger animals to feed on their flesh and blood, lamprey larvae, ammocoetes, are actually filter feeders! The lamprey larva life stage can last up to a decade, and they spend their time being half-buried in sandy substrate, consuming whatever tiny organic particles float to them. Ammocoetes' feeding rate is the slowest of any suspension-feeding animal, and due to this they require a habitat very rich in nutrients.

In the Sandman, since Dream 'came into existence once lifeforms capable of dreaming appeared in the universe', I wonder what that lifeform is and what did it dream of. Like what is the first dream in the universe about.

there’s a difference between thinking a ship should be canon because of obvious, concrete evidence and/or foreshadowing and just being delusional and fun about it. byler has so many moments that make me root for them, so many little things that point towards them being canon that at this point i can’t not ship them. tomjake and gabellie had many instances before officially becoming canon that made it obvious they would be couples. oh also reed900 is canon because i said so.

I used to think Xigbar’s title was lame as hell until I learned that it’s actually a sick reference and now it’s one of my favorites.

The Freeshooter in English and Magic Bullet Shooter in Japanese, both are direct references to the figure called Freischütz from German folklore. He received a certain number of magical bullets from the Devil that would hit any target he desired without fail. Fitting for Xigbar, considering the space manipulation thing. However, he would only be able to control the first 6 bullets; the 7th would be directed by the Devil himself, and would certainly hit someone the Freeshooter cared about.

I doubt Xigbar being Luxu was planned far enough in advance for it to be intentional, but... it’s easy to see the Master of Masters as a sort of devil figure, isn’t it?

I think I wouldn’t be as mad about Toei’s choices for Super if the things they overwrote wouldn’t have translated so beautifully to animation.

I have my beef with the gaps in my sense of humor and Toei’s writers room and our opinions on characterizations, sure, but so many of the cool things that happened in the manga and the movies that Toei reiterated were changed, botched, or removed completely, and that sucks.

Vegeta being so cool and so protective of his family during the Goku Black arc, and Gohan being a total badass during Ressurection F are my biggest “why did you change this??” beefs. But also man. The tournament had so many good moments in the manga that were totally snubbed in the anime.

As a fan it makes me angry but as an artist it makes me sad. Toya is such a cinematic storyteller and his pacing and compositions were just. Thrown away. :(

EDIT: Someone in the notes pointed out that the anime caught up with the manga before the GB arc so I do take back that they threw away Toya’s later work in the GB and Tournament arcs, but I will never understand why they weren’t sharing assets when they were in production at the same time. And I still can’t forgive them for fumbling the retellings of BotG and ResF so hard OTL

More X-Men and Pokémon because I way overthought Gen X’s team lineups and made myself sad.
