The cod lands value their alliances and are known to take inspiration from other cultures its not as though they don’t have any original traditions but a good few of them are a direct result of them putting their own spin on foreign cultures and imports from all over the world
The most well known example is the cod folks famous wood carvings the story goes a long time ago there was a young codish traveler who had stopped to stay the night in a mezalian inn while wondering the streets he could not help but admire the buildings he loved how symmetrical and perfectly placed the tiles were and it stuck with him
when he returned home he tried to recreate what he saw but he didn’t have the materials needed for it and he realized very quickly that he should have asked how it was made when he was there but hindsight is twenty twenty and he still wanted to try so he decided to ditch the colors and clay he focused on his favorite part
He went out side and picked up some tree bark he got a knife and scratched the same patterns the tiles were laid out in mezalia on the wood but smaller it was mess but he liked so he kept doing it when ever he got home from his travels he would sit down and carve patterns into the wood as time went on his work got neater and thought it was not as colorful as the tiles they were based on they focused more on little details they became beautiful and when he got old and settled down he started selling his work in the market soon enough it caught on and more people started carving wood for art rather than for utensils and weapons
Lots of Time has passed since then and along the way it even picked up some religious significance when children reached a certain age they carve a special bead to mark the day they took the oath to protect all cod it’s like a baptism or bat/bar mitzvah there guardian weaves the child a necklace to put the bead on and from then on when ever something significant happens they make another bead to put on the necklace but they only wear it for special occasions these things are so important to a person they never wear them casually and are heavy protected when someone dies they’re beads are hung in a mini cemetery that each family has because you can’t bury someone in a muddy swamp like you could in a dirt field
The cod father head is very special because when ever a cod father is introduced they create a bead but it doesn’t go on their necklace it goes on the cod father head alongside the beads of the past cod fathers unlike necklaces that are only worn sparingly the cod father head is to be worn every day to symbolize the cod fathers never ending responsibility to protect the legacy of the cod empire a constant reminder of the past present and future generations the cod fathers have to maintain it’s a lot of pressure and needless to say if a cod father were to loose the head or cod forbid have it be destroyed while in their hands well that would be blasphemy
but in the present long after the man died the art style he fathered keeps evolving with every new artist it gets further away from the tiles and became it’s own thing a art style that is unmistakably a art unique to the cod lands
The wither rosé alliance are the homework gems that the diamonds send to earth in the cod alliance Gemcyt au
Fwhip is a peridot and kinda like jasper in that he is spiteful his want for revenge is mostly because they stranded him on earth so it’s not like he want to shatter them instead he makes it his life’s mission to make their lives harder and as inconvenient as possible
He also starts to enjoy earth technology among other earth stuff and eventually defects
Gem came from the same batch as fwhip and is the slightly older one when she hears that fwhips mission went wrong she went down there herself to find him
she’s the easiest to convince after all she prioritized her brother over fallowing home world and by leaving without permission is not be welcomed back
Sausage is a quartz that was sent to guard fwhip as he fixed the warp pad and made sure the gem experiments were progressing as planned
But there ship was destroyed and they were forced to run and found shelter in a cave in a mountain
Over time sausage alongside fwhip started to appreciate the earth sausage especially liked dogs(bubbles) but despite being the friendliest he was the hardest out of the bunch to get to their side
he like peridot tricked them and took a direct line to the diamonds from the moon base and was going to use it to go back to home world but instead he told them about how great the earth was and insulted a diamond to their face
So Unfortunately the moment that sausage became an actual crystal gem came at the cost of the diamonds gaining the knowledge that there was still crystal gems on earth
But before that during the time when sausage and fwhip were living in a cave and just after gem made it to earth and joined them in the cave Sausage left them because he saw the writing on the wall and got away from the traitors
He found corrupted pearl and befriended her kinda she was a gem monster with a scrabbled mind and body but she was a very small gem monster and the first being with a gemstone other the fwhip and gem who he just left so he stuck with her
When all the corrupted gems were cured and she returned she didn’t remember sausage like how sausage during the hermitcraft empires crossover knew pearl but she had no clue what he was talking about
but they did end up become real friends and their conversations became a lot less one sided

this is inaccurate if Jimmy had a gun he would literally and figuratively shoot himself in the foot cutting his lower than average time in half
idea: batman and the robins never acknowledge that there have been different robins. like they all act that there's only been one and that they're the same person basically.
Justice League who's used to teen dick not kid jason: who is this child?
Batman: what do you mean, it's robin.

Batman and Tim walking through the watchtower:
Justice League who remembers robin literally dying: ...*side eye*...
-
Flash: batman… who is this?
Batman: robin. you’ve met before. several times.
Flash: no, i met a black haired boy. this is a blonde girl!
Batman: her name is robin
-
Superman: it's time for you to explain. where are you getting all these children?
Batman: i have no idea what you're talking about.
Superman *pointing to damian*: who is this kid?!
Damian: i'm robin. i'm offended you would even ask that? don't you remember *proceeds to recite a story dick told him of his robin days*
I was in a workshop the other day where someone was detailing how they, compared to others, show respect by not fidgeting and keeping eye-contact with people.
So yeah, I felt the need to make this comic.
Keep in mind: This isn't an ADHD specific problem and depending on the nuance, can stem from different areas like anxiety or autism. The eye-contact "issues" with ADHD stem more from impulsive eye-movements (the kind where you are not really looking at anything) and high distractability.
ADHD also has a significant overlap with eye-conditions and some studies suggest that ADHD medication can actually help with some eye-conditions. (Is that why my sight feels more blurry on days off medication?!)
Skizz is the son of eleos goddess of compassion and pity
Skizz’s dad is a very kind man who works at a morgue and actually met skizz’s mother while on the job
He found a woman crying over a grave and noticed that woman was in all black with the exception of her veil which was dark blue and hid her face
he went to comfort her and she took note of him compassionate gesture
When prompted she told him that she didn’t actually know the person that was buried she just got sad because someone died
He fell for her because of her empathy
She fell for him because his kindness
Skizz inherited both those qualities from his parents
I just watched hollow mind and my mind is running wild with ideas I thought of
I like to think that belos and his brother came from a very well off family and the witch was a rebellious bad girl
which is cool because her relative eda started the bad girl coven
anyway he was a kind boy that loved animals he would often drag his brother
out of the house with out permission to play in the near by forest he wanted adventure and he found that adventure the day they found the witch
she loved how he was kind to her even thought everyone else was scared and wanted her to be executed so she latch on to the only person that was on her side in the strange new world she was in where everyone wanted her dead
she took him flying and told him about all the different creatures and places she had seen
he showed her how to dance and she learned how to wood carve from him I
think there relationship was like the song up town girl by billy Joel and a whole new would from Aladdin but reversed gender’s
i thought of really cute nicknames they would call each other she would call him rich boy and he would call her witch girl
Oli’s pony name is lutetium but everyone calls him lute for short he is a descendant of princess platinum but nobody believes him
This is princess platinum
This is what Oli’s color scheme would be
Oli’s cutie mark is a music note being blown about by a gust of wind because he is a drifter and was tossed from his world to another one and he just went with it
also his genius/knowledge/music is under appreciated and fades into the background it’s just like air always there but you only notice it when it’s gone
and the music note is because he’s a bard

Ken jimmy is just a fusion of badboy jimmy and sheriff jimmy
Imagine what there fusion dance looked like(Steven universe reference alert)
A word about the theory that ranboo is the past time traveler I theorize ranboo was the time traveler and that the overseer’s got attached to him witch is why they are very possessive of Karl and want the new time traveler to spend more time with them they are projecting onto him and fighting over him like parents fighting over a child in a custody battle bad talking each other to Karl and warning Karl to not trust the other there’s also the detail that the the time traveler some how effects the appearance of the two worlds so I’m thinking that that works both ways and the other world affects the appearance of the time traveler witch would explain why he is split down the middle and the colors that are on the sides are black and red and white and green
GOING TO LOSE MY FUCKING MIND
I think in lore there’s a reason behind why jimmy’s final death in limited life was due to falling from the sky
The watchers were extra pissed at him for trying to defy them so they made it so jimmy an avian with the canary curse who they made unable to use his wings for the game fell from the sky
They killed him in a way he would have been able to avoid without there involvement they also found it fitting for someone who had a curse named after a bird died in a way that reminded him of birds it was them rubbing salt in the wound
