The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and Mothman are actually old gods, each controlling Water, Earth, and Air respectively.
Each were mighty in their own ways. Large and powerful beasts. All but the fire elemental.
You wouldn't be able to tell it was a mighty beast that could make volcanoes erupt, forest fires spread. Burn down cities in a moment.
No. This God could be seen sleeping in the embers of open fires. Camouflaged as burning coal.
A small animal, an innocent looking creature that could fit in the palm of your hand.
A fire salamander.
Out of open flames it looks like a pure black salamander. The kind you find climbing on walls and sneaking in the grass.
It was a creature that could be set off at the snap of a finger. It showed no mercy. It set fires at a whim and without remorse. It would convince children to catch it or pick it up only to burn them.
However the God knew they needed balance and allowed him to continue its antics. Till one day. A historic moment in all of humanity.
The destruction of Pompeii.
It was that salamander that activated the volcano. For what? Fun. He watched in glee and men, women and children fall to the flames and the lava.
It was that event that broke the other gods. He was sealed the the very valcano he used on Pompeii
The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and Mothman are actually old gods, each controlling Water, Earth, and Air respectively. Fire was banished years ago, but no one knows what they were, or why they were exiled.
straight guy geologist describing a vertically oriented igneous intrusion to his buddy: it’s a . well. i’m not sure i can reclaim this one just get over here
It’s been a year, I’m not over this and probably never will be, but this made me feel better and really happy.
So, in no particular order here’s what I think actually happened in Voltron season 8. I needed to make this happen.
This directly follows my “What REALLY Happened in Voltron Season 7” headcanons.
Keith confessing to Lance while the sunsets, and Lance smiling and realizing this what was he needed and wanted before accepting and saying it’s about time.

Pidge making a small robotic rose pin for her mom that blooms and changes color based on the chemical readings in the room.

Lotor fighting against Honverva on a planet’s surface and saying she made her decision by choosing quintessence and power over her family, and how he’s making his desicion to stand by his new family.
None of that weird entity stuff or talking with the paladins of old, instead it’s a proper showdown and a solid face off between the paladins, Allura, and Lotor against Honerva and her own army.

Lotor joining the blade of marmora on a mission and realizing he could’ve had this community and comradery his whole life.

Klance YouTube au but instead of them being beauty vloggers or ghost hunters or the typical roles we usually see, they’re in totally different genres.
Keith is one of those rage quit gamers who never shows his face and only posts sporadically but he had a huge following because all his videos get turned into memes somehow. Like he was doing a playthrough of Skyrim and was sneaking through a dungeon when a cave bear attacked out of nowhere and killed him. The unholy screeched rant about why bears are the most ridiculous part of the entire game spurred posts and links to his videos across the internet.
“Like what the fuck are they even eating way down there!? Fucking SPIDERS?!?!”
Basically, people find his content to be entertaining because of his attitude, and Keith is very animated when he games. No one knows what he looks like but they all agree that when he’s not yelling, cursing, or screaming, he has a very nice voice.
Now over to Lance.
Lance is your run of the mill Jenna Marbles YouTuber. He does everything and anything because “routine is a curse,” which becomes the slogan for most of his merch. He does a lot of challenges and makes up a lot of the trends that end up being big. He donates most of his proceeds to charities if he does longer videos, like “Living Like Link” where he taught sign language to his followers to raise awareness and donate to charities and organizations that specialize in speech therapy and sign teaching (his little cousin doesn’t speak much so everyone in his family supports her by using sign language to communicate). That earned him a lot of attention and a wide range of followers. But he also does stupid things like painting his whole body pink before going to buy groceries of the same colour.
Routine is a curse, as he says.
Anyway, the two don’t know each other at all. But Keith happened across one of Lance’s videos (the sign language one because of the title) and thought it was really cool that someone would put so much effort into a video series and make learning actually fun. So he begins to snoop around on Lance’s channel and is absolutely baffled by the variety of videos he has posted.
He subscribes and watches new updates weekly.
It’s during one of Lance’s newer videos where he’s dressing up as a raccoon to try and assimilate with the family of critters that are apparently living in his basement that Keith hears something familiar.
Lance is in the middle of drawing dark circles around his eyes ranting about the raccoons when he says “like what the fuck are they even eating way down there!? Fucking spiders?” and Keith almost has a heart attack.
Because that’s his line! He said that! Which means this Lance guy must have watched one of his videos!
So he comments “raccoons are almost as bad as bears” and waits.
And an hour later he gets a reply.
“Oh my god!!!!!!! REDRANTS watches my videos!!!”
Which blows up. The followers make it the most popular comment, and it becomes another new meme, and Keith is overwhelmed.
But that doesn’t stop him. In his next video, he’s building something on Minecraft in survival mode chopping trees as one does when he mumbles “well you know what they say, routine is a curse.”
Which goes over about as well as you would think.
Lance comments on the video: “I can’t believe you stole my line for Minecraft content!”, which gives Keith the proof he needed that the cute boy he’d been subscribed to for the past month is actually watching his stuff.
So the two become friends, commenting back and forth and stealing each other’s quotes until they do an accidental collab video where Lance tries playing Overwatch. He’s queued up and ready to go when a familiar gamertag pops up on the opposite team. And holy shit. He’s playing against REDRANTS!
Keith realizes it’s Lance right away given that his username is the same as his YouTube channel and spends the entire game throwing the match to find Lance (who is playing as Mercy because the wings are bomb af) to emote in front of him. Lance’s team is livid because he’s ignoring them and not healing - “I just like flying around don’t tell me what to do!” - and over on Keith’s channel he’s cursing because he keeps getting killed every time he crosses enemy lines to find Lance - “I’m fucking DANCING let me LIVE you absolute DICKBRAINS!”. Eventually, he pops off and murders the whole team (as Lucio ha get rekt) and continuously waves at Lance’s character as they both sit on the payload.
The videos are immensely popular, and the fact that the two hadn’t meant to collab is even better.
Lance dies laughing while watching Keith’s side of things, and Keith is impressed that Lance actually managed to stay alive for as long as he did given that he wasn’t doing anything. Plus Lance has really witty commentary. It has him chuckling as he watches.
By request of their fans, the two collab for real. They play Overwatch again but this time they’re on the same team. It’s the first time they’ve had a real conversation and you can obviously tell both boys are flustered upon hearing the other speak.
It’s sort of awkward but it gets better once the game starts. Keith keeps making Lance laugh because he screams with every death, and Lance encourages his teammates with doting lines and sayings that Keith finds too funny to handle.
It’s when Lance revives Keith with a sing-song “I got you boo” that Keith just lets it slip.
“Oh my God I love you!”
He doesn’t think much of it because it’s something everyone says once resurrected by Mercy, but Lance laughs nervously and runs off.
Keith realizes later when he’s editing the footage and sends Lance an all caps apology saying he hadn’t meant to weird him out or anything. Lance answers that he’s embarrassed to admit he got flustered after hearing that, and the two sort of start talking more and end up exchanging numbers and Snapchat and when Lance finally gets to see what Keith looks like he almost passes out because hot damn son. Hot. Motha. Heckin. Damn.
They only really collab on Keith’s channel because Keith lives in a different city and he’s never shown any of his followers his face, but eventually, Lance persuade him to do a challenge with him.
The challenge is “who can find who first?” and takes place in the airport Keith flies into when he first comes to visit. Lance vlogs the whole thing, but it’s Keith who wins, scaring Lance by the Starbucks and earning a startled yelp that has security coming over to check up on things. The two laugh it off and it’s comfortable and not awkward and just really nice. They’re like old friends who’ve known each other for years. And it’s Keith’s official face reveal, complete with kitty cat sleeping mask and tired eyes, baggy hoodie and luggage with Spider-Man on it.
Lance thinks he might be slightly in love. Plus Keith is an inch or so taller, which Lance definietly approves of, though he makes a few comments about it for the sake of his vlog. They make several videos togehter, and the community loves them. They compliment each other nicely - what with Lance’s calming wit and Keith’s explosions of frustration when he can’t figure out the makeup he’s supposed to be putting on Lance’s face for a challenge. It’s oddly hilarious and the response they get is amazing.
And yeah I guess they start a collab channel and eventually start dating and I’ll end this here cuz I could go on for years about them as YouTubers.
izuku has a thing for broke brunettes pass it on!
Why people don't understand when we say
Cross-posted on Twitter
I finally figured it out. they come from big ships. it seems other people think we're a big ship when we're not. they don't realize how small we are. it's majority ships vs a minority ship. that's not in terms of rival ships, but just the sheer size of any ship.
rg has like 20-30 active shippers (that's being generous. probably closer to like 10-20) at a time between twitter and tumblr; and only like a handful of content creators, most of which aren't even active in the community.
while big ships gets art or fics out the wazoo for big crumbs, we don't. we had huge crumbs the last two episodes and there's nothing. that's not a fault of the content creators ofc, but i'm using it to put things in perspective.
they don't realize even 5-10 people talking shit (joking or not) is huge for us. i've called it bullying in the past because that's what it is when it's so many people against so few. it's the sheer size of the ship vs the bigger ships like wr and nnd that makes the difference between 5 rg shippers talking trash about those ships and this ships talking trash about our's. neither scenario is right, but it hits harder when those 5 attackers are equivalent to 30-40% of one ship's active shippers vs 1-2% of another.
when you don't have enough people to drown out the hate, it becomes exhausting and really brings you down.
half the shippers i've asked said they were afraid to publicly admit to shipping rg bc of how much shit rg gets. i've met multiple people who've left the community because of the bullying, too.
if you check the twitter replies of this crosspost right now—only two hours since i posted it—there's already several people coming forward with their stories and their fears. more and more people keep coming out as the post spreads. my heart breaks for them.
the worst part is that i know rg isn't the only ship with this problem. i'm begging you all to think about how you would feel in our shoes. to try to be more mindful of the size of your ship vs the size of others.
trust me when i say your words are a lot louder than you intend.
Bad ones? (By Order of Most to Least "Done with your ass") [Edit: NO WAIT I MESSED UP THE BAD ONES]
1. All Might : Bro. Off the top of my head you have 6 (Chiyo, Nezu, Tsukauchi, Gran Torino, Nighteye, & David) people who know your secret but you ban Izuku from telling anyone? You don't even bring in Gran Torino into it until way later even though he knows better than you. Don't even get me STARTED on what you said to Izuku on that roof.
2. Endeavor : Not because you're a bad character. Infact, I like that you're a horrible person. It adds dimension to Hero Society. But your redemption arch is shit and you should feel bad.
3. Dabi : YOU COULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT!!! Why'd you have to be a psychopath pointing your rage and hatred at your innocent brother instead of simply wanting to get back at Endevour but still loving your family. (100% opinion though XD)
4. Chiyo : Okay. Lady. You CANT just deny a CHILD medical care when you know he is a late bloomer with All Might's unstable and volatile quirk. You performed SURGERY on a MINOR without parental consent. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LAWS YOU'VE BROKEN?!
5. Nezu. My guy. You're one of the smartest beings on earth and it never occurred to you that Izuku would need help and that All Might was being irrational? You've worked with kids for years. Wtf? (Also why do you let Aizawa just expel kids left and right? Like. Come on)
6. The entire Bakusquad. Kiri and Mina especially. A good bit of their backstory revolves around bullying... how are they okay with Bakugo?!?! I love you guys, I do, but what the fuck???
Faves?
1. Izuku : Yes I'm a basic bitch. Listen. I love him and even though he has so much wasted potential I happily turn to AO3 to feed me.
2. Mirko : Ah yes. The perfect example of what a Bakugo archetype SHOULD be. Aggressive and crude but still a good and fun character. Izuku should have also interned with her at some point. Similar fighting style and she probably could have boosted his confidence and shown him that boisterous & aggressive doesn't have to mean bullying and abuse and that Bakugo is wrong and cruel.
3. Hawks : Do I have to explain this boy? Is he my fave char? No. Do I think he's amazingly written and his motivations and plot is solid? Absolutely. Give this man a hug and several years of therapy.
4. Mei : She's fun, unproblematic, and I love her. She's just a neurodivergent artificer bab.
You know what? I’m bored again so how about we play a game?
On this blog, I bash Katsuki a lot while also shitting on Eraserhead and Hitoshi from time to time. They, to me, are MHA’s worst written characters, either by being absolutely atrocious in every way (Katsuki), or being some of the biggest missed potential I’ve seen (Hitoshi and Eraserhead).
However, I want to give the stage to you guys. Besides these three, who is your least favorite MHA and why? Do you think their writing is bad or is there just something about them that irritates the fuck out of you? There’s no wrong answers here (unless you say Tooru or Mezou, which in that case you’re 100% wrong 😤. Jk 😂). I’m legitimately curious about what y’all think and if there’s a character that is poorly written that I haven’t covered yet.
Also, tell me who your favorite character is/who you think is the best written character. I’d like to hear what you guys think on that front too.
you guys made luigi mangione trend for days and I need to see the same energy for brianna boston. she is a 43 year old mother of three who ended a phone call with blue cross blue shield (after being denied a claim) “delay deny depose, you’re next” and is now being held under a 100,000$ bond and could face FIFTEEN years of prison if charged. she has no weapons, her record is clean, and yet she is being held behind bars. they are afraid of the public and are trying to subdue. do not let them!!!! say her name!!! be outraged that our freedom of speech is being threatened!!!!! deny defend depose! free brianna boston!
Date Night in Treviso
...two crows working together on a contract counts as a date, right?...
