SLEEP WELL PLEASE

HOLD OOOON, I BECAME A FREAKING OWL (?) because I love writting while is all silent so I don't sleep at night, and then I play Warframe between 5:00 - 7:00 a.m almost everyday to relaxed myself, so, I REMEMBER THAT I DREAMED WITH WARFRAME TODAY omg xd

There was Umbra with a strange sort of fist-weapon and he was clumsy as fuck trying to punch the enemies hahaha, and I was so frustrated yelling "UMBRA KILL THEM ALREADYYY" (maybe because I lost in Duviri this morning 'cause I don't know what the fuck I supposed to do) and he couldn't did it because he wanted his nikana back! And Ordis was on the bg like "Operator, chill out chill out!" omg haha. Poor Umbra :(

We won, but I was stressed out and he was yelling mad at the end xd

Fic Prompts: Voltron Thursday

The Voltron Coalition was large, and growing stronger by the week. They'd reclaimed entire swathes of the Galra Empire, and the five Paladins had become household names in very short order. But the Empire struck back hard, and losses were inevitable. Which was why, after a long conference with the Blades and the Paladins, Princess Allura made the decision to begin a haphazard academy for new recruits, with an aim to select Paladin candidates in case of the unthinkable.

They were not so very much younger than the Paladins themselves, really, but to Shiro they all seemed too young, too inexperienced. And perhaps, in one or two cases, just a little too enthusiastic. One youngster who had, regrettably, been at one of the "Voltron on Ice" performances, outright fainted when Shiro asked her name. (Despite this early show of nerves, and having an even more pronounced reaction to meeting Pidge, the girl proved to be an excellent shot with a fairly cool head.)

Shiro stood in the middle of the training deck observing the fifteen or sixteen hopefuls the Coalition had sent him. Not all of them were going to make the cut. This was the sixth batch of tests he'd run through that day and he suspected that he looked as tired as he felt. And at the moment, he felt like he had one foot and several toes in the grave.

"Alright, here's the deal!" Shiro called, catching their attention, "Forget the physical exam that got you this far. Combat skills are important, but being a Paladin is more than wielding a Bayard in a flashy way and going one on one with the enemy. As a teacher once told me, no warrior can be a one-trick showman. And in this war, nobody should rely solely on themselves. I want to see your teamwork. So!"

The floor beneath Shiro's feet detached from the rest of the deck, levitating him as the rest of the deck sunk down into a pit with drones flying above it. The recruits stared up, bewildered.

"You have until the siren to get out. I'll let you pick your teams, but for those of you who pass, I'm gonna switch you up later. Got it?"

At the cadets' disconcerted agreements, Shiro cracked a grin that bordered the maniacal and leaned back. "Good. Welcome to training."

From the observation deck, Keith winced. "Oh, those poor kids."

At Hunk's questioning look, Keith shrugged. "He's channeling a guest instructor from when he was a cadet. I heard the horror stories. That guy was infamous for expelling whole classes if he didn't think they could make it in battle."

Hunk started. "Wait, was that the "rational deception" guy? Shiro was there when he visited? Ouch. You're right. Those poor kids."

2020 Creator’s Self-Love Extravaganza

Boy howdy, but it has been a year. So much so that I felt the need to dig up this meme so I can lavish myself with a little TLC, ‘cause you know what? I deserve it! And so do you. This year has been tough, and even in the best of times it can be a real struggle to remember that, instead of being your own worst enemy, you should strive to be your best cheerleader. Remember to be kind instead of cruel, to forgive rather than condemn yourself. Creativity is hard, and it is always a journey, never a final destination, so let’s take a moment and sight-see where we’ve been this year, yeah???

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 favorite works (fics, art, edits, etc.) you’ve created this year and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world in 2020. If you don’t have five published works, that’s fine! Include ideas/drafts/whatever you like that you’ve worked on/thought about, and talk a little about them instead! Remember, this is all about self-love and positive enthusiasm, so fuck the rules if you need to. Have fun, and tag as many fellow creators as you like so they can share the love! <3

~~~~

I was tagged by @mandalorianess, which I really appreciate, because otherwise I wouldn’t have looked back at what I was able to do this year, and see how different it had been. And see how fandom wise it wasn’t different in a bad way.

When I joined tumblr in 2011 or 2012(I don’t remember exactly...), I was in the OUAT fandom, being head over heels about Regina and also Lana Parrila, who played her. I remember how desperate I was to be heared, to fangirl over things with people, who loved the same characters, ships that I did. I always tagged, but it felt like noone was listening. 

I also remember how sad I was for having so few followers. When I became brave enough, I started to write prompts and fics on ff.net. In the end I was lucky to become friends with some fellow fans, I felt supported. I made some pleasant memories. But as I look back, it was so hard. It took years. 

I think the reason it all happend that way was because I was different, and also because it was a bigger fandom.

It’s been a year since I post, reblog, love The Mandalorian/Caradin/Cara Dune/Gina Carano here on tumblr. It isn’t exclusively that theme, but the people, who share my interest and love in the above have been so very supportive for quite some time now! 

I have to say that I started to post different things too. I have a few WIPs, but haven’t posted a fic this year (those poor people in the OUAT fandom, who had been reading my stories, and haven’t got an end, I am so sorry...maybe in the near future?).

I got a camera last Christmas+Birthday(finally, I couldn’t believe it), and I always loved LEGOs, have a lot of STAR WARS sets(and so many others too), and I thought that maybe I could try to take quality photos of my beloved characters in LEGO. And I made some, and never got so many notes.

I also tried to do quote posts of Gina, that was also new fore me. Or I just put my few word thoughts under pics or gifs as I used to, for Regina/OUAT, only this time, I got notes on them.

I don’t know. Maybe I became more entertaining. 

What it metters though is that it feels great! So thank you for every one of you reblogging, liking, commenting on my posts!

Special thanks for this year to my mutual Caradin shipper friends!

Sorry I was so long...

Here are the five of 2020:

1, You Too Need to Freshen up Little Man

In which Cara and Din give Grogu a bath, as LEGO minifigures. They are so cute. I figured I like to create cute and fluff in LEGO.

2, Slumber Party 1., 2., 3.

Because I couln’t choose. This was a request from @redheadedteatotaler I really liked, that’s why it has three chapters... Baby yoda made friends with Baby Groot and they had a slumber party supervised by Din and Cara. In LEGO.

3, Gina Carano Quotes

She talks about being an introvert several times during this event. I was surprised and also could relate to her. I thought people should know.

4, Best Spacedad

Just Din being the brave dad he is, fighting stormtroopers between lightning giant vines. Holiday piece with sneaky Grogu. In LEGO.

Since 2, and 3, has more posts I am stopping here. 

Take a look. 

Thank you!

Happy New Year!

Anyone else wants to do this? Go ahead!

[chaos-burst]

Various comments on my question about campaign starts a while back! I finally got around to answer them! I’ll try to see if I can get to some of the asks I’ve gotten as well. 

@bi-vexual If the characters are the typical hero type something spontaneously attacking wherever they're at is cool imo! That immediately makes them work together and then they might try to find out why that attack happened

-> They are indeed not the typical hero types :’D The most hero-type character is a grumpy cleric. So that will not be a solution for them. 

@im-your-spacedad-now One of my players tried to steal something and one by one the rest joined in a chase across the town

-> Actually something that might happen, but I feel like depending on the characters you have it might misfire and stop them from actually forming a group. But it sounds like a nice creative start of a campaign!

@canaryfeather I like the characters to start out knowing each other. That way you don't have the awkward getting to know you stuff and can go straight to having them walking into a town or getting attacked or whatever. That said, the first game I was in, we met on the road when a few were attacked by wolves, others stopped to help, and a cleric happened by to heal them.

-> Yeah, I like when characters know each other as well! Won’t work for me, but I will have two of them meet beforehand at least :) 

@weissschnee-tm  In one campaign I dmed, made an npc that I had all the pcs know, then had her gather them to ask for their help with something. Party tie, first quest, and a bit of insurance all in one! In the other, I helped the pcs build back stories that put them all in the same place at the same time in a really interesting and thematic city. I sort of figured they'd stumble across each other as they explored it, but I was ready to stage a small attack on the city to bring then together if necessary

-> That thing with the NPC everyone knows is really really awesome :D I will keep that in mind for any future campaigns I might do!

@artisticarperture One of the campaigns I was I started similarly to the force awakens where there was a riot and my character was a soldier who was supposed to silence it, but gained morals halfway through. The rest of the players were all either rioters or bystanders. It was interesting cause we started the campaign in initiative

-> I like that, because it’s customized so much for the individual characters :) And starting in initiative must be very exciting :D

@dark-as-night-sweet-as-sin One of my campaigns, all the pcs got a letter from an npc they all knew, asking them to meet and go on a quest for them Also you could have a session zero where all the players get used to rping their characters, and the group could come up with why their characters know each other organically

-> That is already out of the window, because they all have wildy differing backstories, so they won’t really know each other beforehand, bc reasons ^^ But generally that is a very nice idea!

@phirephox666 In jail

@lionsfairytale In one of our summer campaigns, my friend started us in a tournament scenario, which gave us a chance to get back into the swing of things and play with our character’s abilities before we were attacked for real. For the next one he did give us a hint he wants us all to start by being woken up from literal death by some sort of entity.

-> Waking up from death sounds very badass. The tournament was something I considered, but had to dismiss bc of one of the player’s backstories ^^ But I might get back to it later in the campaign.

@tiefling-queer I introduced my players to each other by putting them all in the hotel California and making their first encounter be the lot of them trying to escape and fighting off goons. in one campaign I'm in, we all started in prison and were broken out by rebels. in several I've been in, we were all just separate schmucks who happened to answer a job put out by a village. setting/campaign plot can play a big role in the meetup - the prison break scenario was a fun setup for us becoming rebel fighters (sort of), and in a sailing campaign I was in the party was just assigned bunkmates/on the same watch. i enjoy throwing the party right into some sort of immediate problem since it gives them a moment to think "oh these guys know what they're doing I could roll with

-> Breaking out of jail was one of my initial ideas, when one of my players said “don’t traumatize my poor boy” and I was like “fair enough” :’D But throwing the party into an immediate problem sounds very reasonable!

@wytch-lyghts Each of my players were being inducted into a thieves guild — each knew a friend of a friend type scenario who told them to be at the same place at the same time, they show up, it’s not the guild. It’s where they met a recruiter who started them off on their first task to prove themselves capable/worthy: find the guild via a long trek through the city sewers. I figure this design could work for joining any group really, but it was fun

-> Ha, that reminds me of the start of the thieves’ guild quest in TES Oblivion :D it’s pretty cool, as long as your characters all fit that kind of thing (which mine do not)

@squirrel-saloli my friends and I recently started a d&d club, and we got a lot of new players. we started out as one big group with three of us dming. because a really personal beginning was impossible with so many people, we had them start out in a guild that would pay them to complete tasks that regular citizens commission them for.

-> I have a series of oneshots i do for the same group of friends and that has them in a guild as well! it’s a pretty nice starting point and i like it, but i enjoy it mostly for the oneshots! for a whole campaign i will do it differently :)

@kneesntoess    we met in a tavern, but we met in a tavern after the three of us had been accidentally plane shifted by a death cult, so

-> Oh wow :o That surely is a beginning :’D 

@pixeljam45 My current crew met over an ad that they all saw, but we have plans that in the next campaign, they're going to all wake up after a night if drinking too hard and be on the run for a crime they can't remember committing that night because it was nickel-shot-night at the bar.

-> Something like that seems to be very popular! I wish I were better at creating mysteries, bc I would totally love for them to solve some puzzles/crimes along the way. Let’s see if my brain will let me :D

@captainclovey in one campaign I was a player of, we all met at a festival for a big event in the city we were in, cue something goes wrong and we're ones who get pulled into helping out before all being branded with something magical that meant we couldnt back out

-> Yep, I considered cursing two of my players with magical objects so they couldn’t leave the other’s vicinity without taking damage. I hope it won’t be necessary :D

@faecallie In the drow campaign my sister made for us the party had been kidnapped by drow to be slaves, but the caravan had been attacked by a drow dissenter to free us. But as part of the terror tactics the drow used to break slaves, we woke up naked in coffins. Really set the tone for a campaign where the drow were nearly done conquering the surface for Lothe.

-> I’m not a fan of the classic d&d drow concept *cough* And I don’t want to make my campaign too grimdark. But if that’s your sort of thing, I hope it was lots of fun :D

@dontdropthejam I started my players on a train, in the same car as each other. Some plot relevant NPCs joined them, and then the train had to stop for repairs, leaving them stranded in a remote mountain hotel, where train car passengers were sorted into hotel rooms with each other. Then a kid got kidnapped and the plot began!

-> Kidnappings/Jails seem to be very popular :D 

@sandssavvy Well, in one campaign I was in they all met because they were all arrested (mostly separately) and had to escape from the same cell. It wasn't done that well by the dm cause he tended to shoehorn moments. But if it was done well by a dm who knew a lot about the pcs and their weaknesses/what could get them into trouble, it could be cool.  In snother campaign, we were each sent a summons into a meeting for an investigation they wanted us to do cause of our different talents.

-> I think many concepts for campaign starts depend on how well the DM does it. I mean, we saw Matt doing a very lovely tavern-meeting-campaign-start! And my first campaign started like that as well. But yeah, the jail idea is really great and I love it a lot :D

@genderliquid If you’re overwhelmed: make them decide, but RP it - give them enough context on their world and whatever mini arc you want to start with and make the players tell you where they’re meeting, what they’re doing there (as much as they want to say to the others) and how they got hooked in.

-> I mean, being overwhelmed is part of my nature, but I won’t do it like this for the campaign. I do want to have a plan and give them directions. But it’s something to bear in mind for potential future campaigns when the backstories are not all done yet ^^

@seventeenhealingpotions One really nice beginning is: You all wake up on the shore. There's parts of a shipwreck all around you. You see *other party members*. You don't remember them, or anything that happened before. But if these people are here, then that means they're part of your crew or other passengers. Maybe they are your group? It's only logical to stick with them for now. It's a good beginning, since you don't have that tavern trope, and you give them a reason to form a party.

-> Memory loss is pretty cool and a nice tool for a campaign start, but it’s nothing that fits my characters for the moment. I really like this idea for a oneshot or mini-adventure tho! :)

@deathdefyinglifeleaps So what if the Rogue and the Wizard stowed away on the sky pirate’s ship and the cleric is busy tending to one of the other pirates when Something happens that causes the sky ship to take off too quickly for any of them to leave? Maybe the rogue is just there to steal something?

-> Thanks for the specific suggestions, but I do have very detailed character backgrounds already and for various reasons all those solutions are not doable ^^ 

@hgr-ros Try the old voyage trick: they just arrived in the starting city and they vaguely know and like each other enougj to stuck around. I use it a lot evem though my players usually create very social characters

-> City, yes. Social characters and knowing each other will be a no :’D

@pokidragon My campaign is very homebrew so the game started with my players waking up an a prison after each of their characters died- it’s very dark souls themed :) 

-> That sounds very badass and also very ominous :D 

@asdeclaredbythedeptofawesome  One thing I will say is that my dm has written up a questions sheet. And then asked who would have done what. This allowed us to have already met and have some small back story together. They were mostly fun things like who got drunk and had to be carried home and who started the bar fight. Or who accidentally started a revolution and stuff. These all ended up having minor or major plot hooks later. It also meant that we established some of the party dynamics And relationships easily without having the first couple of sessions being awkward. Highly recommend if you want everyone to have already met. The other is tell everyone they need a reason to follow something and ask them to come up with reasons why they would follow the initial plot hook. Having built in character reasons makes things a lot simpler 

-> Oh, yeah, I have all my characters’ motivations down, that’s not the problem at all. And I will have two of them meet beforehand, but they will not be friends by any means. And questions like that I had for my series of oneshots, but for various background reasons those four would not really have known each other beforehand. 

Thanks for all the input! It’s really interesting to see how differently people start their campaigns ^-^

Poor SpaceDad. If his Borg trauma wasn't enough, this just adds to it. That's why in the SpaceDad books I have tidbits of his trauma leaking out here and there...I write him as habitually counting lights in stressful situations and reminding himself that he's human. The dreams he has in Book Three really show how his multiple traumas all interact in his head. https://kimberlychapman.com/spacedad/read-the-stories/

Happy 30th anniversary to "Chain of Command Part 2", the most naked episode in Star Trek where no one is allowed to be horny because of the horrors and atrocities.

Voltron Rant- Season 7

VOLTRON RANT **SPOILERS**

I'm not gonna shame or hate on the producers and writers right now because I have no clue what is gonna come next season. BUT THE FANDOM IS SUPER ANGRY. Visually, the season was great and all. Storyline wise, I HAVE CONCERNS.

For one, thanks for all the juxtaposition between Keith and Shiro and Shiro and Adam. That was great and all but I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FACT THAT WE WERE TRICKED. (But not really because we still got representation so does the tricking really count?)

The one thing I loved about this season was the Keith and his wolf (guess we're calling it Cosmo). I loved that, also Keith and Krolia's relationship blossoming was awesome. Hit me right in the feels. BUT THEN SHE LEAVES AGAIN. AND THEN THEY TRY TO PUSH KEITH INTO A THING WITH THAT GALRA GIRL (Acxa?) I DON'T TRUST IT AND EVERYONE IN THE FANDOM KNOWS KEITH IS SUPER GAY. Don't even get me started on Lance and Allura. THAT WAS SO FREAKING RUSHED. WHAT THE HECK?! THAT GIRL HAS BEEN SWERVING ON HIS ADVANCES FOR SIX SEASONS STRAIGHT AND THEN ALL THE SUDDEN SHE CARES. DON'T USE MY BOY LANCE AS REBOUND FOR LOTOR OKAYYY. And SHIRO , my poor spacedad. HE CAN'T CATCH A BREAK. AND WHAT WAS THAT WITH ADAM. YOU'RE LIKE "OH SHIRO WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT OTHER THIS SEASON" BUT THEN YOU KILL HIM OFF?! Granted, I didn't think Adam was too important anyway so I'm just upset about a sad Takashi. Oh and WHAT IS THIS THING WITH JAMES AND KEITH?! Is that like a rivalry or what is going on? STOP STARING AT EACHOTHER LIKE THAT.

Ship Highlights this season would be SHEITH, PLANCE, AND KLANCE. DON'T EVEN COME FOR ME BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKED.

Also, thank you Romelle for being a highlight in my pain this season. And the Holts. The Holts are awesome.

Things I was ultimately not mad at:

SHEITH

Romelle being freaking relatable

KEITH AND HIS WOLF

The team building and unlocking secret Voltron powers

Shiro being Shiro

Hunk needing a hug

Adam dying because he wasn't important and I didn't ship it even though he deserved better

THAT'S IT BYE.

[gayspock]

anyway some cold takes

I QUITE LIKE SEASON 8 AS IT STANDS. vis a vis clara/twelve like- alright-

matt smith/modern day clara were a horrid combination. flirting aside (.. im eally, really sick of the fl) i could just never get aboard them both, as it never felt- like it never felt..as if there were that much purpose for either of them, like, being there? no idea if that makes any sense, but- he had her tagging along, because she was the IMPOSSIBLE GIRL! and i loathe that storylinein of itself  but other than that... never did it truly feel likee, you kno, she was there for any.. other purpose?? like outside the myster, she felt like a companion for compansions sake- does that make s. 

victorian!clara -  knowing we cOULD HAVE HAD VICTORIAN!CLARA - is so infuriating on so !! so many levels, by god. her being a better character for one, but also her relationship with the doctor- quite clearly, she was encouraging him, taking him out of the sulking corner and pushing him to be better. whereas.... i dont  know with eleven and modern!clara it just feels shallow - an perhaps thats the point of it, him ssimply going after her because she’s an enigma, because i dont know. part of that im cool with, with it showing the doctors tendency to, uh, be KIND OF A DICK but also- i feel.. i dont know i feel like for that tow ork there’d have to be a greater consequence because modern!clara (in s7) never really.. like he was understandably UPSET but like. she was never really.. i dont know how to DECRIBE it but my point is the

twelve and clara feel better as a fit even if there’s many parts of this season tht i really dont like. like, they balance each other much more, in the way better companions do, with clara bringing him down pegs when he’s a dick , and with  him kind of pointing out she’s kind of up her own ass every so often, and there’s a nice balance between them  in that sense? moreover the dynamicis much more refreshing: all hail grumpy spacedad, because im so thankful for it after the aged, and tired constant flirtiness between UHHHH young sexy companion and old-but-looks-young doctor (because it always just feels a little too weeeiiiirrrd, come on) and moreover clara’s  has some colour, with her whole life as a teacher (... although minimal insight into her family, other than the fact her mams dead so?? uh, sad... i guess) which just makes her overall a more well-rounded character. i know some peole think- think that like.. she can be awful annoying at times, and whiney but i dont know whilst there’s some parts where i think yeah but honeslty i feel like a lot of the time its flaw, and its good flaw,  in the sense its like-LIKE after the moon episode (sorry cant remember s8names off the top of my head) her outburst was totally justified and reconnects back with that aforementioned dynamic with the doctor and its like. LIKE.. i dontthink shes the best and she might still be the worst,  actually, in my ranking but thats only because the others?? have been ... brilliant and okay doesnt feel like it cuts it and i also feel like the whole danny debacle was-  like okay i didnt like the whole danny plot even though i did like danny but........

you know i also do want to say. because i feel like a lot of people might not like twelve from what i hear but like? actually, given capaldi’s incredible acting skills, i do really love him and its sch a shame because there’s a LOT of things this season (... ^^clara!!) that would have been brilliant, had it not been for this and that - like the execution is poor - and. point is capaldi has the passion and the skill andas i said i adore twelve’s character- it’s very old who, with him taking the handle as the grumpy old alien, who saves the world but is still, uh, an alien and very obviously so - but the writing keeps... ailing him and falling flat and there’s parts of his character thatJSUT I DONT KNOW MAN. I WANT TO RAMBLE BUT THE . ITS 2AM

Awake Part One

Keith x reader

summary: one member of the team has some serious baggage from back on earth, and decides to leave for good

Warnings: mentions of suicide, kidnapping, arranged marriage, and a finger getting smashed

2,154 words, and a part two coming soon!

“Screw it.”

It was a dark and dry night in the Castle of Lions, and a key member was fed up. Deciding this life was not for them, they planned out an escape plan and decided to leave for good. The thoughts in their head too strong, and an internal suffering so subtle to the outside that no one noticed their demise. Stuffing clothes, their suit, and other important objects into their bags, they left a note and some smudged blood, and escape out the window. (Y/N) (L/N) hoped to disappear from her team that night, and it worked, almost.

Three years had passed since that night, and all was well with our team. They had happened upon a day off and decided to go out into a random, unpopulated, planet to adventure about. Everyone was excited to get out of their aircraft and onto some sort of solid ground. Lance was eager to go, packing lots of water and snacks along with Hunk, who happened to be doing the same. Keith was silent as ever and tucked into his very own area with a small bag full of necessities to go out by himself. Pidge was fiddling with some sort of electronic gps to keep track of their team, and Shiro was checking up on the planet and doing the proper research needed to know how to get around easily. They all had on their protective armor, but ditched the helmets due to the planet having a breathable atmosphere safe for the human kind.

Soon enough, they had landed, and upon opening the door Lance shot out like a bullet leaving the rest of his team behind. Shiro, being a spacedad, sighed at his ‘child's’ behavior and left him to have his consequences and turned towards the more collected team left.

Pulling a gloved hand through his rooster like hair, Siro looked towards his team and spoke.

“This planet is quite interesting, but be careful. It seems to have some animals living on it, so prepare for predators. Keep your gps’s on hand, the jungle is quite dense. Be back by twelve.”

Nodding, the team branched off into their separate groups and walked their own ways. Keith to the west, Pidge and Hunk to the east, Shiro to the North, and Lance to the south. We shall follow our hero Keith on this expedition.

The black haired teen had a lot to think about at the moment. Being more introverted, he decided to take out his worries in a lot of alone time to process the best ways to react to whatever had happened. His team was so bright and cheerful all the time, so having time completely alone in a new place was refreshing and quite calming. Letting the scowl on his face fall, he dug his feet into the soil and took a deep breath in. cracking his neck, he looked determined at the path ahead and started to briskly walk though.

The forest around him was quite dense and thick, a small path, most likely made by an animal before him, twisted and turned around the large trees and exotic flower bushes that surrounded his figure. To be honest, he quite liked nature when alone, and enjoyed walking to the sounds of birds chirping above him. His peace was interrupted, however, by a beeping coming from his bag. Grabbing it and opening it lazily, he picked up the lit up object under his first aid kit, the gps.

Lifting the object up, he unlocked the screen and peered into the LED display. Eyes widening slightly, he saw an extra dot on the device.

Each dot was color coded so you could easily tell which team was wich on the screen, but something else was there as well. Farther down the island, by what looked like a lagoon-ish area, was a purple one, something he had not seen in a long time. Jhe tried to shake it off and put his gps back into his bag and continued marching along, but something kept nagging at his conscience. The gps these things tracked was implanted mandatorily into their suits, their Voltron suits, so it was impossible that it was you. The note (Y/N0 left stated that they jumped into a river nearby the castle, and an unidentified body had been found, too mangld to see if it was theirs. It was impossible that they were alive and on this island, but it gave him something to do.

Keeping the gps out with him on his walk, Keith started heading for the beachside through the thick jungle. His walk seemed to be calm and peaceful, but the poor guys head was spinning. He couldn't help but think of them. (Y/N) was his best friend, and knew everything about him. They were often his shoulder to cry on, or person to talk to in times of struggle for him. Having (Y/N) gone took a huge toll on him, and since thier death he had become more reclusive and angry, lashing out far more than when they were around. He sighed, feeling guilty that he never helped them with their problems, but took on the burden of his. He shook his head and continued to observe the land around him.

As he walked, the path seemed to get wider and wider, like there was more frequent use to it. The soil was packed down, and had faint footprints followed the path more and more to the side. As he continued to walk, his heels sinking deeper into the soil for the slow introduction of sand, the tree barriers got thinner and thinner and soon he could see a beautiful ocean lining a beach of white sand. It was quite a beautiful sight to see, especially since the planet had not been touched by nad civilisations to ruin it. Deciding to investigate more, he walked towards the crystal blue water and dug his feet into the hot sand lining it.

He looked at the water that was clear to the bottom, and he smiled slightly at the sight of small fish trying to nibble on his toes. He breathed in the fresh and air, but stopped. Behind him a faint rustling could be heard in the bushes. Turning around, he slowly approached the shrub, guard up. Finally, pushing back the bush quickly, he saw a bunny frozen in place. Sighing and thinking he was silly for worrying so much, he turned around swiftly. Taking a step forward, he stopped when a loud crunch sounded under his foot. Looking down, he silently yelled at himself for stepping on such a vital part of this adventure. He picked up the now crushed gps and dropped it after, deeming it useless. Maybe Pidge would have been able to fix it, but he could not. Checking the time he realized that they had quite a few hours and heading back to the ship would be boring. This was one of three stops they had made on their entire journey, so he did not want to waste more time on a ship. Deciding it was safe to trek forward due to a ath being clearly visible and leading back to the ship, Keith kept walking across the shoreline, mind far from where it began.

Another hour of walking had passed, and pretty soon the shore was starting to end. Keith wanted to continue walking, and his prayers were answered when he saw a somewhat hidden doorway behind some shrubs and bushes. It looked old and musty, like it was untouched for many years. The palm wood door had jagged yet elegant carvings in it, making him more and more curious.Keith knew this could be a trap, and potentially dangerous, but curiosity is a powerful thing. Why was his best friends suit in there? He looked down, debating contacting his team about the subject. He felt selfish at the time, however, and refused. If he were to see something of his dead best friend (Y/N), he was going to see it first and alone. Guard up and trust down, he put his hand on the doorknob and slowly turned it.

Getting in was not as easy as you would think. The door was rusty and crusted, not too easy to open. Once that was open, he creaked open the door cautiously and peered inside. It was dark, but a singular lightbulb hung from the ceiling of the dwelling, illuminating the rather large space. First of all, everything was clean. No dust touched any place, and it was extremely organized . Tools homemade and artificially made hung from hooks on the wall, pots and pans lined shelves near a cooking area. A table sat by a homemade window looking out onto the sea, and a workbench in the corner was covered in blueprints and drawings.

Keith had realised he had stumbled into someones dwelling, but nothing could stop him now. Seeing a doorway blocked by a curtain in the corner. He immediately headed towards the door, ignoring the other curious objects and inventions around him. As his feet sunk into the soft soil below, he drew his hand out and pushed aside the beads, gasping when he saw inside. He fell backwards in shock, surprised at what he had seen. Getting back up, and brushing the dirt off of his suit, he opened the curtain fully, peering inside curiously. He took a few steps forward, not believing his eyes.

Inside was what seemed like a sea cave of sort. Though small, it was large enough to rival a two doored garage or something of the sort. He took a step on the rocky ground, marveling at his beautiful surroundings. His eyes darted around feverishly, eyes landing in the corner of the cave setting. His breath hitched in his throat, and he sprinted over to a mannequin in the corner.

A purple body suit hung there peacefully, a sight he used to be so familiar with seeing. The hole in the ceiling of the cave seemed to shine in all the right places, the chrome glittering in what little sunlight the clothing got. In awe he touched the thing, lifting the sleeve and seeing the bloodstain from when you had just become paladins.

Living together was an experience, and (Y/N) happened to be a huge bookworm. Shelves were a must have, and many large bookshelves were full to the brim. A project one, rare, but free Saturday the duo set to work shoving some shelves into the free wallspace where so books dared to stay.

“Keith, hand me the nails, your too slow.”

He shook his head, looking back at them. “No way, your way too clumsy.”

(Y/N) shook their head and sighed, yanking the hammer and nails out of his hands and gently shoving him off of the chair he was stood on. Supporting themselves on the wall with their non dominant hand, (Y/N) brought the hammer back and slammed it into the wall, and missed, slightly smashing their middle finger.

He chuckled at the memory, remembering their comedic scream and the collapse. Also figuring out they always had cheetah print band-aids on hand.

His reminiscing was cut short when he heard a crunch behind him, swiftly turning around, Keith happened to knock over the suit, triggering some sort of trap. The rock below had turned into gravel, and a net soon enclosed the angsty teen around ten feet from the ground.

What in the world had he got himself into?

The net was quite a tight fit to be honest with you, and any slight movement was a force to be reckoned with. He jerked his body every which way and tried to wiggle into a new position to find a way out, but the net seemed to be coated with some sort of natural adhesive. He groaned knowing this was going to take awhile.

It had felt like hours had passed, and through a crack in the wall he had seen that the night sky had turned dark. He had tried several times after to move and alert his team of his situation, but nothing seemed to work. He wondered what his team was up to, and if they were looking for him at this hour. His thoughts were stopped when a loud clatter was heard behind him. He tried to look over his shoulder, and after enough trying he could see (Y/N).

A skinnier, taller, version of them to say the least. Fruits and produce was scattered across the floor as they ran towards the net with a pocketknife. Slicing the ropes Keith fell to the ground and rubbed his head, looking up once more. They stood in silence for a while, the echoes of water droplets falling into the water being the only disturber.

How are they not dead?

[icefeels]

I drew this xenomorph completely from memory, which is why it is a shiny latex penis with an enormous mouth instead of an even bigger latex penis with a small but scary mouth.

Poor spacedad is trying his best to not be impolite but. it’s scary. he emphatically doesn’t like it.

SUPERGIRL SINS PILOT EDITION

Welcome my dearest pals back to the wonderful and nutty world of supergirl sins. I have missed A LOT, so I figured instead of covering the rest of mess 3, I would return back to where it all began on CBS. Obligatory cinemasins reference boom! Let's begin.

•that's a bright sun.

•original Kara and her mom! Sup broskis, how you been?

•remember when supergirl had a CBS budget?

•I wonder who played superman in the beginning.

•series starting with a monologue, the trend in movies has seeped into TV, noooooooo.

•there's no such thing as aliens, great irony supergirl hilarious.

•Winn and Kara awkward thing, I HATE it.

•I LOVE CAT! GOD I MISS HER!! ONE SIN OFF for everything she does.

•oof I forgot that this was a thing too as in Kara and James, and then it proceeded to get brushed under the rug.

•the amount of irony used in the pilot makes me want to bang my head into a wall.

•ALEX AND KARA!!! ONE of the few things CBS did right, focusing on them two, a sin off for that.

•douchy blind date guy is douchy.

•the sequence of Kara flying for the first time is just awesome, another sin off.

•unexpected obstacle in rescue mission cliche, something always has to go wrong.

•supes is also supes confused.

•I need a drink too Alex.

•Kara's excitement is so genuine it makes me happy dink sin off.

•THERE IS STILL A HALF AN HOUR LEFT AHHH.

•grumpy Alex is grumpy.

•James totally knows he's just playing coy.

•no Winn it's not what you think, it's not a booty call.

•"I'm not gay!" sureeeeeee Kara sureeee, just wait until you meet Lena.

•wow hamfisted explanation of the main purpose of this show: inspiring little girls.

•I too relate humans are irrelevant.

•Don't do Laura benanti like that bro, what has she ever done wrong?

•this song is hilarious, I'll take a sin off for how ridiculous it is.

•ouch! OH HEY J'ONN. I MISSED YOU.

•hahaha the deo cave. That shit was dark musty and dusty.

•#whereintheworldislucylane?

•oof harsh J'onn.

•ahh yes there is the iconic supergirl writing without subtlety.

•cat done did get her, sin off.

•another the CBS did well was showing all facets and uses of kara's powers. The CW has really minimized her powers.

•very realistic that Kara sucks at fighting, but I know it's only going to lead to the lovely rocky training montage.

•J'onn was rude in the beginning, it makes me confused cause he's spacedad to me.

•introspective staring moment

•emotional monologue to rally the beaten down hero cliche.

•thank you for identifying who you are. Mom and Kara gosh I would have been so confused otherwise.

•that's rich coming from an alien J'onn or hank hehe that name reminds of hanky panky. Yes I know I'm a child

•THIS MAN'S DIALOGUE IS STRAIGHT OUT OF A VILLAIN HANDBOOK.

•uh Alex it has nothing to do with her being a girl, it's more her poor fighting ability.

•You just gotta BELIEVEEEEEEEE.

•ominous remark is ominous aka shitty foreshadowing.

•YES SUPERFRIENDS.

•HAHAHA I KNEW IT YOU SLY DOG JAMES

•I love it, play that pronoun games bro.

•MORE MONOLOGUING!

•ooh dark room with the villains, and a familial twist.

Man, it's crazy to see how Supergirl has evolved since it's inception. Still some threads remain the same. I missed this, it was dope to do. Alright folks see you next time, ooh actually what episode do you think I should do next?

Total sins: 42

What were your favorite parts of the episode?

This obviously contains spoilers, so if you’re planning to watch the episode maybe don’t keep reading.

KARA HITS UP ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFETS IT’S CANON KARA/FOOD = TRUE OTP

SpaceDad can apparate his children??? THAT WAS COOL

I still love Carl Lumbly’s acting so much, god bless M’yrnn J’onzz

Also Winn calls him “Mr. J” which is just cute

Sam clearly a Kryptonian because she just assumes that sticking her hand in boiling water is a logical thing to do to test her “I have powers” theory

SAM AND HER MOM WAS INTERESTING AND FUN???

but again, what is the passage of time on this show because apparently Sam is like … Alex’s age

there’s just another random pod living in the mom’s back shed and somehow Sam never once as a child felt the need to get in there and find out what was inside??

SAM WAS SO EXCITED THAT SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE LIKE SUPERGIRL AND SPEND MORE TIME WITH RUBY :(  :(  :(

also the image of her just strolling through the desert in her coat and jeans was weirdly amusing

J’ONN BUYS A REAL HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON EARTH

Melissa out here killing it with her acting yet again this season

Poor Kara :’’’(

She held it together so well despite repeatedly getting punched in the feels

Kara also holding true to her principles and choosing ethics over feelings, that’s my girl and I love her

Winn gets little brother award points for this episode

Chyler was clearly busy filming crossover stuff during this ep

Kudos for the subtle hint that Lena’s positive legacy will survive

eta: HOW DID I FORGET JAMES AND HIS SWEET SUPPORTIVE FOREHEAD KISS????

Also, I have a good idea now of where all these storylines are going and how they’re going to fit together for the next big chunk of the season, and I AM EXCITED. (yes, even with pod boy, who is infinitely more effective in small doses.)

[original-kakabel]

Watch "Space Dad's Battles of Parenting | Voltron Animatic" on YouTube

OMG...

I can (almost) totally agree with the matches to personality...

Hunk? Notsomuch...

But the rest? Spot on.

Poor SpaceDad.

[oreasa]

Kara, you went through the ringer, how fair you?

Pull no punches with Brainiac.

Tact, Brainy doesn’t have it.

Alex, did you memorize every single bit of history?

Well placed paper is well placed.

Lena, give it up. You know.

Used to date? They had one kiss.

Mon, you are so fucking useless.

Bon Jovi

I do not like cult guy.

Ugh, I can’t take them writing Lena so stupid. She should know Kara’s secret.

Aw, poor Brainy.

No, she has to break out as Supergirl.

Kara, you’re afraid.

You have to admit fear, then face it. Or blow shit up, that’s a sane response too.

You have to risk it, you morons.

Then don’t die.

“Not again” I agree, J’onn.

Omg, J’onn just read her mind to see how she expects you to react. Ugh.

Paaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiin

A little cocky there, Alex.

I miss Alex’s kryptonite suit.

Even smart people miss things, Brainy.

Hey, Mon finally has a super suit.

Oh, she’s going to spare him. Yuck.

Bon Jovi

How does this not wake the rest of the Legion?

I was wrong. She has to leave as Kara.

Go J’onn!!

“I got better” <3

Sleep is for the weak, Lena.

Where was Guardian during this whole ordeal?

Why must you girls torment SpaceDad?

More??
