Shipwrecked (ClueFinders 5th Grade)
"Okay, Santiago, where do we start?"
Santiago shrugged. "You decide." Joni pursed her lips. Santiago usually did that. At first, it was annoying, like he couldn't just decide where to go. But it wasn't that. Well, maybe it was a little bit. He was a very cautious person. But it was mostly just him trusting her leadership skills.
Joni looked around the beach. There were two ways to go. There was a path toward the remains of the Labyrinth, and there was another path toward the interior of the island. Whatever room Owen and Leslie were in, it would probably be inland. There wasn't room on the beach for that massive wall they'd seen over the video phone.
A flash of movement to her right made Joni turn. Nothing there. But...hadn't there been? There had been a bright yellow flower there a moment ago. Or so she'd thought. She remembered seeing it when she woke up. It certainly wasn't there now.
It had to be a hallucination. Flowers couldn't grow in sand, anyway. Not something like that.
"Are you okay, Joni?" asked Laptrap.
"I'm fine," answered the redhead. "This place just gives me the creeps." It was strange. Even when they'd all been pressed in by the Numerian jungle, she hadn't felt this uneasy. Worried for her uncle, but not ill at ease.
"You know," offered Santiago, "we could see if the ship has any supplies inside. The island could be dangerous." He must have noticed she was hesitating, and she rarely, if ever, hesitated.
Joni shook her head. She had to get it together. "Good idea," she said, trekking her way down the beach. "Come on."
The Labyrinth came up quickly, the savage gash along it's right side on full display. But before they could get to it, they found themselves blocked by a river that cut itself across the entire beach.

Thoughts (and Concerns) About Billie Piper and the 16th Doctor
Probably should have posted this a while ago, but I lost track of time. Story of my life.
I haven't kept up with Doctor Who in a long time. There are reasons for that, and I could get into it later, but I didn't exactly hear good things about the series, and I generally wasn't interested.
A couple weeks back or so, a friend of mine told me about the recent season finale, where the 15th Doctor appears to regenerate into actress Billie Piper, known for playing the first New Who companion Rose Tyler.
You may have also seen the meme floating around about that:
Tumblr media
There is some ambiguity, though. They didn't really introduce her as the 16th Doctor. Perhaps she won't actually be 16. But if she is...I think that would be a hideously bad idea.
Now, don't get me wrong. It isn't because she's a woman. I have ZERO problem with that if the actor (and writers) can pull it off. And by that I mean the actor can give a good performance and the writers give it their best as they would for anyone else.
It's also not Billie herself. I've got nothing against her. I also know some people don't like this decision because they feel it is a cheap gimmick, and I get that, too. And yet, that's still not the biggest problem.
No, this isn't about gender, nostalgic gimmicks, or about Billie. This is about Rose Tyler.
If Billie Piper is the 16th Doctor, that means the Doctor has taken her face, her voice, her entire form. This has happened before with Time Lords. Romana took the form of Princess Astra of Atrios for her second regeneration, arguing that she and the Fourth Doctor wouldn't see her again. Twelve took the face of the man he met in Fires of Pompeii as a personal reminder.
But this is the face of a companion. This is someone the Doctor spent a lot of time with, a trusted friend. I ask you, in light of that context, doesn't taking her face seem a trifle...weird?
But wait, it gets worse! Rose was a companion the Doctor was romantically involved with. He loved her. He kissed her. His clone spent his life with her. The actual Doctor might not have been able to marry her, but you know Ten would have if she hadn't been stranded in another universe.
So, yes, if Billie Piper is going to be 16, then the Doctor is wearing the face of his ex-girlfriend. And that folks is incredibly creepy. We're talking deep psychological issues here.
Barring whether or not the writing improves--that's a whole separate mess--if Billie Piper ends up as the 16th Doctor, then I'm concerned that you won't be able to get that stain off the Doctor's reputation. I can't even imagine a way to explain taking Rose's face without looking awful.

Who COULD Be (or already is) Tsunade's Kid?
In a previous post, I debunked the idea that Minato is secretly Tsunade's kid. But that's not to say Tsunade couldn't have kids...or doesn't have some anyway. The big alternative to Minato in this "Tsunade's secret kid" theory is Yamato.
Now's let's do the math.
Yamato: 08/10/40.
Tsunade: 08/02/12.
Yamato's birthday is before Tsunade's, so the math must account for that. 40-12 = 28. Tsunade would have been 27 when Yamato was born. If we presume a healthy, nine-month pregnancy, then that would mean she got pregnant in November of 39 at age 27.
The math lines up here. Also, the math could line up to allow Dan to be the father...sort of.
Dan was supposed to die at age 27, which on Seelentau's fan timeline would be in December of 14 years before Naruto was born at the latest. On my own timeline, that number is converted to 36. So, going by standard canon numbers, Dan couldn't be Yamato's father.
SIDE NOTE: I would personally prefer Tsunade to not cheat on Dan, an idea that is quite relevant considering that by my numbers (see the discussion below) Yamato was born around the time Dan died, and by Seelentau's/canon's, Yamato was born only four years after. The loss of Dan wasn't that far off.
But here's the thing for those that haven't looked at my timeline. The numbers given out about Dan Kato are weird. They don't add up in the story. By all accounts Dan dies in the first year of the Second Shinobi World War, and that doesn't work for Tsunade's story and what she did in that war.
Long story short, I ended up tweaking Dan's information to fix the discrepancies. I ended up not only moving his birth year, but I also changed his death age to 29. This resulted in a date of, at the latest, 12/03/40.
So, yes, if you tweak Dan's data (which you have grounds to do), it would be possible, mathematically, for Yamato to be Dan and Tsunade's child.
Tsunade's Current Kid
With all that theory stuff out of the way, I also want to add that Tsunade sort of has a kid already in the form of Shizune. By canon data, Shizune would have been rather young (in the single digits) when Dan died. She was even younger in my timeline. And as far as we know, Shizune had no other family other than Dan. So...who was taking care of her after Dan was gone?
The most obvious person would be Tsunade, aka the woman that would have been her legal aunt. In my own timeline, I also had Tsunade leaving the Leaf Village as soon as the second war ended, and taking Shizune with her because that honestly made the most psychological sense.
Shizune has been with Tsunade for a very long time. The Sannin has likely been her primary caregiver. The bond between them is likely deeper than master and apprentice. It's probably closer to aunt/niece or mother/daughter.
So, if you're ever talking about Tsunade's hypothetical children...don't overlook the one that may be standing right beside her.

Minato CAN'T be Tsunade's Kid
This is a fan theory I've seen thrown around, even by famed YouTuber NCHammer23. NCHammer is very good at his job, but this theory? It's bad.
The theory is that Tsunade is Minato Namikaze's mother. Why? Because they're both blonde? That's rather shallow. Because the ages line up (even if it results in a teen pregnancy)?
Yeah...uh...about that...
Those of you that have seen my Naruto essays know that I took the timeline created by Seelentau and modified it, both with my own fan ideas and things that I felt were weird narratively (even if the math was accurate). Generally, I do not mess with established birth years. The few times I have, it was to iron out inconsistent data...and one slight arbitrary shift with Shisui.
I have not, however, ever touched Minato and Tsunade's birth data. Minato was born on January 25 about 24 years before Naruto was born. Tsunade, who was 51 in Part 1 (Naruto's 13th year of life), was born on August 2, 38 years before Naruto was born.
Of course, those numbers are negative, and positive numbers are better. On my timeline, I shifted the marker from Naruto's birth to the foundation of Konoha. As a consequence, all those negative numbers had fifty added to them.
-24 + 50 = 26.
-38 + 50 = 12.
This means the new birthdates are:
Tsunade: 08/02/12 Minato: 01/25/26
Right off the bat, you will notice that Minato was born in Tsunade's 14th year of life, which is...very uncomfortable. But it's worse. Count the months. If Tsunade had a baby in January of 26, then she would have been 13, the very edge of a teenager. And it gets worse still...
Let's presume a nine month pregnancy. If so, then Tsunade would have had to have gotten pregnant...at twelve. We wouldn't be looking at teen pregnancy, we'd be looking at pre-teen pregnancy. And don't think you can go for premature birth, either.
In order to avoid the extra-grossness of a pre-teen pregnancy, Minato would have to have been born in less than six months. I am not a medical professional, so I can't say exactly how dangerous that is, but I can say with certainty that it is dangerous.
The earlier a kid is born, the more danger there is, and being born very premature comes with developmental issues and potentially lasting health issues.
A number of preemies (that's what nurses call premature children) end up with some degree of cerebral palsy, a disorder where damage to the brain causes neurological and muscular problems, learning disabilities, growth and development issues, and so on. And that's only one result of premature birth. There are other things that can go wrong. Some children just die.
Minato, as far as we can see, doesn't seem to have any medical issues, and believe me, if he was born extremely early (less than six months), he would have something. Such things would have impacted his ability to be a ninja anyway. Therefore, it seems very unlikely he was a very early preemie.
This theory doesn't work. The math doesn't work. It adds up to something really dark and severely messed up that no one in their right mind would use for fiction.

just saw your post about ClueFinders and I actually attempted to do this a couple of times. Lost momentum trying to tie together the individual chapters, though.
Awww! Well, I don't think I'd have the time to do a full story. I am swamped in stuff. But I was still thinking of playing with it. Did you ever post any of your efforts?

Novelizing Cluefinders?
I know a lot of people remember the Cluefinders games. They were a great way for kids to learn, and they were REALLY fun and funny at the same time. It's sad that they're so hard to play now, if you can do it at all.
Still, people have managed to do Let's Plays, and I watch them a lot when I want something in the background, much like today. And that led to a really strange thought. Any fanfic writers out there every thought about doing a novelization of the Cluefinders games?
Obviously you'd have to adapt a lot of the challenges, but it could be an interesting exercise. Hmm. I'll have to play with that.

I don't. Not unless you count using text to speech to look for hidden typos.
a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted
their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?

Queen Marlena is Awesome (2/2)
Okay, so we've established Marlena was a trailblazer in the context of the original series. Now let's go over her specific skillset and demonstrate how even MORE awesome she is.
She Has Scientific Training
In the episode "The Dragon's Gift," Man-at-Arms is turned into a crystal statue by Skeletor. While examining his condition in the lab, Marlena remarks on how her "scientific training" may help them figure out what this is.
I cannot speak for what the requirements for being an astronaut might have been in the 1980s, but these days, in order to be one, you need to have a master's degree in a STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), and either two years of related professional experience, or a thousand hours of pilot time in a jet aircraft or simulator.
While Marlena freely admits she still can't always understand Ducan's (Man-at-Arms) inventions--which is totally fair considering some of the stuff he makes--she is well versed in the sciences thanks to her astronaut background.
She Knows Judo
When the series introduced She-Ra, they showed the moment that Hordak and his pupil Skeletor tried to steal her and Adam out of their cradle. Skeletor had grabbed Marlena from behind and held his hand over her mouth. Marlena responded by grabbing his hand and throwing him over her shoulder in a clear judo maneuver.
Yes, Adam and Adora's mom judo flipped Skeletor. Whether or not those skills are rusty, I don't know. But this woman can defend herself.
Marlena the Retired Soldier
In the flashback seen in "Teela's Quest," Marlena refers to herself as Lieutenant Marlena Glenn. That wasn't necessarily a given for her astronaut background. Not all astronauts are in the military. As I said in the previous post, Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, was a physicist. She was there as a specialist, to perform scientific experiments while on the mission.
Marlena outdoes Sally in that regard, since she's at the dang pilot controls, and as you will see, deserves to be there. What organization Marlena belonged to is never clarified, but based on the rest of the episode's context, which I will get to, there are three possibilities.
A. Some fictional space branch of the military.
B. The United States Air Force.
C. The United States Navy (aka a Navy pilot)
I personally prefer B. So, yes, like Adora, Marlena was also in the armed forces. Randor, too, depending. In the 2002 series, Randor was an army captain before being made king. I guess military service just runs in this family.
Adora's status in the Horde must bring up some pretty confused feelings, though. On the one hand, she was a captain in an evil, world-conquering army (and in the 2018 version, one that used child soldiers). But on the other hand...Adora went into the military like her mom, and even managed to climb higher in the ranks than Marlena did.
Can you still be proud of Adora for that? I'm not entirely sure myself.
The Rainbow Warrior
This was an episode later in the run of the 80s show, and it cemented Marlena as awesome.
In this episode, Skeletor decides he's going to take over the soldiers of the Royal Guard and use them to conquer Eternia. But in order to do that, he has to take away their leaders so they will be helpless. These leaders are King Randor, Man-at-Arms, and Man-at-Arms' daughter Teela (who is the captain of the guard).
Meanwhile, there is a jousting tournament going on at the palace. But being this show, the joust is done on hover bikes. Teela is the best pilot among the guard, but she loses when someone takes a shot at her from behind.
Teela: “But he was above me. There was nothing I could do, I couldn’t aim at him up there !” Queen Marlena: “Excuse me. On Earth, we had a maneuver called the Immelman turn. I could show it to you if you like.” Teela: “Sure, uh, sometime maybe.”
Marlena spends part of her time in the royal museum, where her old ship, the Rainbow Explorer, has been left, along with her old space suit. As the episode goes on, Skeletor manages to capture Randor, Man-at-Arms, Teela, Adam, and even Orko.
When a guard tells Marlena what happened, Marlena says they will not brace for Skeletor's attack. He expects them to be on the defensive, so instead, they will attack him. Plus, she doesn't like the idea of her home becoming a battlefield. She tells the guard to get every man in the air, and to wait for a signal from the lead ship.
Alone in the museum, Marlena turns to the case with her space suit, saying she's going to get her family back. As the soldiers outside mount their vehicles, they wonder what the lead ship is. At the same time, Marlena dons her suit, and hops into the cockpit of her old craft, carefully restored.
She flips the switches, bringing the old machine to life, and then uses a missile (yes, her spacecraft has missiles, why would it not?) to blow out the window of the museum.
And then, for the first time in many years, Lt. Marlena Glenn of Earth returns to the sky! The soldiers may not have seen that ship before, but they know a lead ship when they see one, and the royal guard trail behind her in formation. CHARGE!
Play Danger Zone
Back to The Rainbow Warrior. Skeletor has chained his captives to the rocks on the outside of Snake Mountain. Can't let them see the secrets inside, can he? He's gloating over his victory, believing it will be so easy to capture the guards since they have no leader.
Oh, Skeletor, you sweet, sweet summer child...
Imagine old Bone Head's surprise when the guard come zooming in, and a weird spaceship he's never seen zips dangerously close to his head. Skeletor launches a fleet of robot flyers. The fact that he thinks they'll make a difference is almost charming.
As Marlena flies over everyone, she takes a shot with a laser--because, yes, her ship has lasers as well--to break the chains holding Adam. She fired a shot so precise to break chains without hurting Adam's wrists, and did so while in motion. That is a crack shot right there.
Two of the robots are in hot pursuit, firing their own lasers at her, but Marlena stays ahead. Before her are two columns of rock with a narrow opening between them. Without slowing down, Marlena turns the plane on its side, slipping through the gap, and leaving her pursuers to be smashed against the rock.
Adam goes off to become He-Man, and the battle rages on. Marlena is not only outmaneuvering the robots after her, she's protecting her own soldiers from being attacked. The animation might not always be able to demonstrate it, but it seems Marlena's flying skills are something awe-inspiring.
Watching from the ground, Teela says "Nobody...but nobody can fly like that!"
"I know a person who can," replies Randor softly.
Marlena continues to go on the offensive. When her soldiers are being pursued, she comes down in an angled dive to shoot down the robots, before helping out two of her other soldiers by slipping in front of the robots and melting them with her ship's thrusters.
"That's some pilot," says Teela.
"I know," replies Randor in a sort of sigh that screams "I am madly in love with this woman."
Skeletor's pretty angry at this point, putting all priority on taking out the lead ship. When his minions can't do it because of He-Man's interference, Skeletor goes after her himself in his own ship, getting up above and behind her.
"Oh no!" cries Teela. "That's how I lost the joust this morning!"
But, true to the foreshadowing at the beginning of the episode, Marlena performs an Immelman turn, going up and over Skeletor to get directly behind him so she can shoot out his thrusters. All the poor bonehead can say to that is to croak out a very confused "What?"
Skeletor goes down (and later gets away), everyone is freed, and Randor introduces everyone to "the best pilot a planet called Earth ever produced...Marlena, my queen." Even Adam is shocked.
Not only is Marlena a female astronaut in a time when those were rare, not only was she a soldier, but she was also an incredibly skilled fighter pilot. Quite possibly the best there was. She is not only queen of Eternia, she's queen of the sky.
Oh, and one more thing about Marlena? She knows. At the end of the episode, Adam asks her why she freed him first, and Marlena all but says she knows that he's He-Man.
And that is why Queen Marlena is awesome. With those kind of qualifications, it's rather fitting both of her kids became such great heroes.

Queen Marlena is Awesome (1/2)
I dip into a lot of fandoms. This includes both He-Man and She-Ra. I watched both of the original cartoons (though not in full, I admit), and the 2002 He-Man cartoon, which was AWESOME. Haven't really touched the Netflix She-Ra. I admit, I have reservations. But that's not the point right now.
The point is that Adam and Adora's mother, Queen Marlena, is probably one of the most awesome women in 80s cartoons, and just all-around awesome.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
The Woman From Earth
For those that don't know a thing about her, let's start off with the basics...and other facts you may not know about her kids. Adam and Adora are, technically, hybrids. They are not full Eternians. This is because Marlena is not Eternian. She's an earthling.
Marlena Glenn
Marlena's maiden name is Glenn. This was meant as a tribute to American astronaut John Glenn. I think I read somewhere that maybe she's supposed to be related to him, but that could just be fan speculation and not official canon.
But you're probably wondering, why name her after a famous astronaut? Well...
Marlena the Trailblazer
In the 1983 series, the episode "Teela's Quest," we learn that Marlena was an astronaut from Earth whose ship had taken heavy damage, so Marlena had to crash land on Eternia. King Randor found her, pulled her out and took care of her, and Marlena fell in love with him during her recovery, so she never left.
Tumblr media
This backstory may not seem all that impressive to you, but in context, this was actually very big. In 1983, female astronauts were barely a thing.
In the history of space exploration, the first female astronaut was Valentina Tereshkova of the Soviet Union, who went up on May 16, 1963 on a solo mission. The next woman in space was Svetlana Savitskaya, who went up in 1982 and 1984. Considering this is the Soviet Union in the midst of the Cold War, a part of me wonders if these trips were made known to the rest of the world.
In any case, the next woman in space was also the first American, physicist Sally Ride, who went up on June 18, 1983 and July 17, 1984. The original He-Man cartoon aired on September 26, 1983.
Marlena being an astronaut was a big deal because it was almost unheard of. Teela's Quest was the sixth episode. When that aired, the world was still thinking of Sally Ride. Anybody that saw her as an astronaut would probably have thought "cool, she's like Sally Ride!" Imagine being a little kid, especially a little girl. and seeing that.
On top of that, Marlena was flying a solo mission, which, other than the very first woman in space, JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN. I don't think it's happened again, even today. Admittedly, I understand why. It's safer to have someone else with you when you fling yourself into space. But the point still stands.
A later episode, "Trouble in Arcadia," pushed this aspect even further. Teela mentions how Marlena told her that she was not just a female astronaut, but "one of the first women in space." If Earth was supposed to be in the 1980s at the time, this most certainly would have been true.
Marlena is awesome because she's both a trailblazer in her own universe, and a reflection of contemporary trailblazers in the real world. She is a brave, daring woman who had the will to let herself be flung out into space all alone.
But just you wait, it gets better. Continued in Part 2.

I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all
a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)
so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.

She had never before found being a woman confining, but then she had never attempted to investigate a series of murders before either. And now she was finding that as soon as one began moving around in the world, doing things, one ran up against a regular list of You Shan'ts.

This is magnificent. I've never seen Athena Club fanart before, but now I want more. You did so well depicting all of them. Do you think you'll ever do pieces with Lucinda, Alice, or even Mrs. Poole?
Tumblr media
Something for fun!!!! My interpretations of the main cast of “The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter”, a book by Theodora Goss!! I love this book and the two that follow so much. All of the characters are so fun and interesting with their own distinct personalities that I tried to portray in their looks!! 
Mary is very prim and proper, bred to be a lady of society so she would most likely be in the modern fashion of the time. I know she would probably be in more practical styles/colors but I wanted to have some fun with her. 
Diana would have Mary’s old dresses, but that would be the only put together part of her. She would still have her wild hair and most likely have runs in her stockings. 
Beatrice is an elegant Italian woman, but a believer in the rational dress movement…I put her in something loose with her signature gloves. Also, since she’s immune to poisons I thought it would be a fun little nod to the times to have her in the shade of green that was made with Arsenic! 
Catherine is practical and prefers clothing that’s easy to move in. She probably has dresses she’s stolen from Mary, but I see her more often mixing male and female articles of clothing. 
Justine is tall and therefore probably has a hard time finding clothes that fit, especially if she too borrows Mary’s old clothes. Shirtwaists and skirts are her best option, although the skirts probably still don’t touch the floor. Most of the time you will find her covered in paint~ 
I love these girls and tried really hard to make their personalities visible in their outfits!! Hope you all like them too~ (and read the books, they’re really good)

That IS pretty adorable. And also a nasty burn. I mean, if even GOOGLE recognizes what a terrible father Mr. Tipton is...
I admit though, I didn't know London's father was white, or that, according to the internet, her mother was Thai. Though I suppose that's because I never watched all of Suite Life on Deck. So London's mixed race. Huh.
So I looked up London Tipton’s dad just now, because I remembered that he was a white guy and i thought it was the actor who’s the commentator in pitch perfect and i was right. But more importantly when i googled it this is what came up.
Tumblr media
And this is just the cutest thing in life, like its so sweet and I love it and it makes me so happy cause Mr. Moseby really was like her dad, he raised her.  And I like that google recognizes that relationship,as the special paternal/familial one it is. Because he really steps up for her in the absence of her parents. And It really makes me think of the scene in the finale of suite life on deck when she calls him like a second after they say goodbye to say she’s going to miss him.And that scene is what i remember about the finale because it is the most touching emotional part of it, i think. And I wanted to share this since it made me happy.

I used to watch this show way back when. I didn't always see them as a pair, but now? Yeah, I totally ship them. I'd say cue the possible Boston marriage jokes, but it was legal around the time the show aired.

Old Videos Returning to YouTube
Speaking of my old Let's Plays, some of my old ones are coming back to YouTube. When YouTube had that whole COPPA mess years ago, I was paranoid about how that might hurt my Let's Play of Unfairy Tales and other things. Thus, I removed those videos and put them on Dailymotion.
Over time, I added other videos to YouTube, such as my incomplete Pokemon Omicron Let's Play. After the copyright nonsense that hit YouTuber Suede, I was worried about posting stuff related to Japan. At the time, Dailymotion allowed anybody to geoblock their videos.
That...is no longer the case. Geoblocking is gone. Thus, I chose to remove all my stuff from that site. It didn't suit me anymore. So, yes, that stuff is going back to YouTube in time.

I probably mentioned how I never did a tremendous amount with my YouTube channel. I certainly haven't done anything in a long time. But one of the things I used to do was Let's Plays.
This one is my playlist of a fun little Flash game from 2009 called TCT RPG. Feel free to check it out, and I hope you enjoy it.
