Ahh! This hurts so much! The separated twin and trainer!
What's scary though is that this applies to real life too. Thank you, my Second Grade teacher, for defending me from my bullies.
Some stranger somewhere remembers you because you were kind to them.
Harrison Ford hating playing Han Solo made him better at playing Han Solo because Han Solo did not want to be there doing those things either.
May she rest in peace, where no shadows fall...
@ddagent always finds the loveliest pics of Mira ❤️
Forever in love with this luminous, incredible woman who rose above the pain and horrors of this world to leave a lasting legacy of love and hope, light and compassion, of belief that a more peaceful, just world is possible if we fight for it. Through her acting, her writing, her music, her activism, she gives me hope and faith in the beauty of shining a light in the darkest places, of having the courage to stand up and loudly speak the truth when everyone around you wants to (literally) destroy you for it. I just cannot comprehend the sheer, unadulterated, unyielding strength that takes.
A beautiful soul, indeed.
Forever grateful for discovering Babylon 5 and falling in love with Delenn, and through her, finding that Mira was just as much a badass in actuality as the fictional one she played on TV.
Original
What that person said! Best TV show of all time!
If you’re looking for a sci-fi show with….
Realistic takes on technology
Political intrigue and high drama
Complex, strong, and likable female characters
Fun and distinct alien cultures
Infuriating, scary, and delightful villains
Found family and beautiful friendships
Respectful portrayal of religion in a scientifically oriented show
Characters that grow, change, learn, and progress
Strong male leads who portray wise and intelligent leaders
Fantastically complex, fun, and interesting side characters
The ability to balance each character's unique style of humor with seriousness and sincerity
One of the greatest romances of the century
The profoundness of truth
and much more, then Babylon 5 is the show for you
The most bad@ speech in sci-fi and you can't prove me wrong.
Okay, okay, there is Susan's Death Incarnate speech. That is the only other acceptable answer.

What are some of your favorite shipping dynamics?
Let's see if I can limit this to 2...
First involves a crafter + caregiver. For example, my couple Julius and Daisy. (Julius is crafter and Daisy is caregiver.)
So crafter has "Gift-Giving" as a love language, but he/she HAS to be the one Making the gifts. In this case, Julius is a smith and is spending his time crafting jewelry for his wife Daisy.
In comes caregiver Daisy with some food and water because you bet Julius skipped a meal to work on Daisy's present. And she stays, watching him. No, she is not watching what his hands are making, she is watching HIS HANDs, his determined face, how the sweat falls from his brow as he labors because this gift has to be perfect darn it! There are times that Daisy doesn't even realize that Julius is making her a present because she is too busy watching the man she loves.
And that is the shipping dynamic, the love eyes the two make. The caregiver just sitting there in love while the crafter labors in love. And Daisy still gets surprised with her presents because she might have been distracted by her husband's face. 🤣
Second shipping dynamic is when the butler ships it.
Okay, the butler is not in the ship, but the captain of the ship. This dynamic is so fun as it invites the readers into the story by having a character cheering with them for the main couple.
What I also noticed, when the butler ships it, is that the butler points out other details about the relationship that you might miss if you are surface level-reading. The butler often points out how the two are quite compatible or cover each other's flaws. (This really is delicious to read when the author already wrote this into the story, but the butler is highlighting it for you {basically gently nudging you to see the relationship instead of telling. I have read of a story where the butler told you to love the main couple, instead of revealing. Yeah, I don't trust the butler in that tale.} )
Also, the butler going out of his way to help out the main couple get together and/or build friendships with both members is so fun to read as the butler is thinking about the relationship long term, of the family and house that the couple will build. The butler isn't just thinking about securing his job but sustaining the life that the couple will have after marriage. Personally, I think this does the readers more good than the constant "Will they, won't they?"
Oh! This applies to the Head Stewardess as well! Though it has it's own flavor as the butler often gets a father/grandfather/uncle role to one of the characters while the Stewardess gets her motherly/grandmotherly/auntie role. Or best friend looking out for the other if the butler/stewardess grew up with the head of household.
Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better
Best response to this meme. 🤣
if they ever make Legends Kyrum and we see the two brothers fight with the two dragons, there BETTER be knights riding Scoliopede.
We need another cool rising option besides Zebstrika and Soutland.

Instead of Deepnest, the Knight went up through the City of Tears to escape. What would happen but being found and adopted by none other than the Watcher himself.
Tell me, what happens now? After all, the Knight has a twin in the White Palace down below....

CHAPTER ONE:
SCRIPT: In the bottomost of Hallownest, there lies the White Palace, Where within ruled the Pale King, shinning and wise. I served this most glorious king, my son, as his Watcher. As his servant, I gave him everything. My service's reward was the entrusting of duties, treasures, and secrets. A reward only given to Her Majesty the Queen.
One day, His Majesty called me aside, desiring to share his secrets. O my son, I had no fantom of the darkness he would share. The only thought in my mind was how I could serve. After all, my liege lord needed all the help he could gather to defeat the Blazing Light.
His majesty was so eager, I recall, to share his secrets. I expected the project to be a grand scheme, a mighty warrior, or a secret weapon. But the last thing I expected to see...was you. A you that was cold, stiff, and lifeless while still drawing breath. Speechless, I observed this test that was required. Clueless, for I left you at our Spire.
What kind of test was this? Whose loyalty was tested? The father or the son? The only reward one could hope to earn was the approval of one's liege lord...
Somehow, the test was passed...but what His Majesty said and did surprised me more. "This 'construct', so capable, will be the vessel to seal away the Blazing Light." "YOU need not be so horrified at such a small thing." The king assured me.
I was horrified, my king not at What...but FOR WHO.

Help me ya'll. I actually wrote the fanfic about this premise.
Fanfic Troubles
*Sees adorable headcanons that Baby Hornet was a biter and declared Uncle Lurien to be her favorite chew toy.*
Me: "Ahh...that's so cute. I should write that sometime."
Lurien: "How about please no?!?!"
Me: "You'll survive! Besides, it will give you a resistant to spider vemon. "
*After some time, decides that Blue Morpho Butterfly would be perfect for Lurien. Makes him one.*
*Finds out that Blue Morpho Butterflies are poisonous. *
Me: "Wait? What?!"
*Doubles checks that fact. Finds out that almost all animals avoid Blue Morphos after eating one due to the butterfly being quite deadly thanks to poison.*
*Notes it says quite deadly.*
*Doubles checks size of said animals. *
*They're like small mammals and birds, quite a few sizes bigger than Lurien. *
*Expect for the dumb human who swallowed a Blue Morpho.*
*Checks Hornet's size again, who is many sizes SMALLER than Lurien.*
*Realizes that Hornet is 100% teething toddler who sees everything as a chew toy and can't control her vemon yet.*
Me and Lurien: "Oh no. "

i'm sorry , this is so cute! 🥰
Odysseus, disguised as a beggar: alright ody, you’re about to see your beautiful wife for the first time in twenty years but you CAN’T break character - no matter how gorgeous she is. You got this, after years of marriage, you’ve learned how to handle your wife’s hotness.
[Penelope walks into the room]
Odysseus: oh no she got hotter with age
Penelope: I had the weirdest dream last night. An eagle swooped down from the heavens and killed 20 geese.
Odysseus, disguised as a beggar: Well, fair queen, clearly this means that your husband is coming home and will kill your suitors.
Penelope: If only there was a way to tell the eagle to hurry the fuck up.
Odysseus:
Penelope: *dumps a bunch of weapons at Odysseus’s feet*
Penelope: Clumsy me
And that is why I created a fanmon that was a ground-type Mountain Lion. Suddenly, Emolga is the famous one in the fake region, not Pikachu.
Doylist explanation: They keep making new electric mouse pokemon because they're frantically trying to recreate the success of Pikachu. Or at least because it's tradition at this point.
Watsonian explanation: A major predator of rodents is birds of prey. A mouse that can deliver electric shocks to flying-types has a much higher chance of living to produce more offspring. Thus, convergent evolution fills this niche in every region. "Pikachu" is just the pokemon universe equivalent of "crab".

Has anyone ever had a Pokemon deck where they clearly promote ONE Pokemon card to the best in the deck, but in reality it is the mostly unlikely Pokemon to be OP? I'll go first.
My Flaming Charizard deck my brothers gave me. The box is Charizard, the mat is Charizard, the engeries are fire so Charizard can use his awesome ability; the coin that decides my fate? Charizard.
Which card causes my brothers to tremble in fear?
The Queen. Specifically, Niodoqueen who was put in there SOLELY to counter any water types poor Charizard can't take out.
Wonder how she EARNED her title as Queen? Check out the card and do the math.
Guess how many evolution Pokemon are in my deck? Guess how many are in the field by the time Nidoqueen shows up? Hehe...
Okay, okay, doubt the ability to get Nidoqueen powered up right away? Her base form has "Call for Family" which allows me to call for ONE basic Pokemon and put it on my bench, which is supposed to be used to set up Charamander to Charizard. It proceeds to build up an entire team from which I find the evolutions to evolve (Somehow Charizard doesn't show up till LATER!) which often result in Nidoqueen having FOUR evolved Pokemon on the bench. 50 + 50 + 50 + 50 + 10 = 210 damage.
In other words, thanks bros for giving me the power to take out your Dragonites!!!!
I want this to be my car someday!
A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background.

Some of my writer’s block cures:
Handwrite. (If you already are, write in a different coloured pen.)
Write outside or at a different location.
Read.
Look up some writing prompts.
Take a break. Do something different. Comeback to it later.
Write something else. (A different WIP, a poem, a quick short story, etc.)
Find inspiring writing music playlists on YouTube. (Themed music, POV playlists, ambient music, etc.)
Do some character or story prompts/questions to get a better idea of who or what you’re writing.
Word sprints. Set a timer and write as much as you can. Not a lot of time to overthink things.
Set your own goals and deadlines.
Write another scene from your WIP. (You don’t have to write in order.) Write a scene you want to write, or the ending. (You can change it or scrap it if it doesn’t fit into your story later.)
Write a scene for your WIP that you will never post/add to your story. A prologue, a different P.O.V., how your characters would react in a situation that’s not in your story, a flashback, etc.
Write down a bunch of ideas. Things that could happen, thing that will never happen, good things, bad things.
Change the weather (in the story of course.)
Feel free to add your own.

This is so true and funny. 🤣
Attack and Dethrone (ft. Akari, Arceus, Volo and Emmet)
