ppl often (reasonably) dunk on star wars environments for not having proper safety standards but important to note that cloud city very much does have guard rails

this whole thing has guard rails. the bit Luke jumps from doesn't but i think that's bcos you straight up aren't supposed to climb on it? you also have to go through like a whole long stretch of what seem to be maintenance rooms w lockable doors to get to this area. i think it's fair to say this is supposed to be a trained maintenance workers only zone.

anyway my point w all this is to say, Lando was a responsible city mayor who definitely had safety standards in place to pretent situations like people falling down the giant shaft that dumps stuff directly into the gas giant and was consequently most likely very confused and kinda mad as to how Luke ended up falling down the giant shaft that dumps stuff directly into the gas giant. he signed city ordinances about this and carried out safety inspections personally. ):<

Rwby Spoilers

Okay guys, Roman Torchwick everyone.

We’ve got a glimpse at his personality for his few screentime minutes and I’d like to show just HOW MUCH we’ve been given.

He’s SMART. He’s EXPERIENCED. We’ve seen him in two main situations: Has the upper hand ( where he acts smug and cocky ), and losing it. Most villains get angry. Want revenge. Run away in fear. Throw a tantrum. But he DOESN’T. Roman stays calm. He thinks things through. He is obviously not happy about losing, but he’s calm and collected. He does not get rash at all.

When he loses to Penny, Sun, and Ruby?

“These kids just keep getting weirder.”

He stays calm. He knows he’s been beat. He accepts that. He doesn’t get mad, he doesn’t curse their names. At most, he gives an annoyed sigh and just moves on. He can ACCEPT THAT. He knows it is not smart to make a scene or keep this going, so he makes a tactical retreat. Yes, he was not happy. But he did not get angry. He stayed calm.

When he lost to Team RWBY?

“Just got this thing cleaned…”

He stayed calm. He was annoyed, but he thought about what he should do. He assessed the situation and devised a plan. HECK! He had a plan PREPARED in case he failed! He had Neo and the ship as a last resort! He THOUGHT AHEAD. Most villains do NOT think: “What should I do if I fail?” No. They think and think on a plan that CAN’T fail, not a plan with a way out! That’s SMART. He knows he isn’t perfect and can accept loss, we knew this. And now we know he isn’t prideful because he thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread. He’s prideful because HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. He’s SMART. He’s EXPERIENCED. After all, “some bets you just don’t take.”

When he is pinned by Blake?

“We’re on the same side and you know it.”

He is not SCARED. He is not ANGRY. He is annoyed, he does not show any fear. Because he doesn’t have any. He was not scared in the slightest because he had the situation controlled. When he “bargained” with her, he knew she wouldn’t just join his side. A villain cannot mock and berate you through the fight, then all of a sudden go “Oh oh! I’m here for YOU!” when they’ve lost. Villains do this, but everyone knows it won’t work. It’s DESPERATE. Roman? He was not desperate. He “pleaded” with her- not because he wanted to convince her of his side- because he knew it would make her have one thought: “He isn’t worth it.” He’s probably experienced that treatment enough before that he knows how to take advantage of it. Roman is EXPERIENCED. He takes a bad situation and uses it. He knew how to get her to hold, not to JOIN. And that’s what he wanted.

HOWEVER! Everyone has their breaking point. Everyone has something that sets them off like a firework. And Roman, we saw that.

There is one time he does not stay calm. There is one time he acts rash, he lashes out, he does not think things through, he goes against everything he does.

When Neo goes off the plane?

He.

Got.

Mad.

All of this careful planning, all of his composure! GONE! He loses it when she goes off. He screams for her and only after he realizes there’s absolutely nothing he can do, THEN he looks to Ruby. He no longer holds his composure. The smart thing to do here would have been to run. To leave. But he didn’t.

Roman was MAD. He scolded Ruby, he yelled at Ruby, he lashed out at her and hit her and threw her around. He was MAD. Because of losing Neo, he no longer COULD think. He no longer COULD keep calm. If he is still alive, he WILL INDEED think that in hindsight he shouldn’t have done that. But he couldn’t help himself.

Conclusion

From Roman’s behavior in the show, we can deduce a TON about his past and personality regardless of his screentime minutes.

Roman is smug and cocky because he knows what to do, not because he thinks he’s just the best thing ever.

Roman knows he is not the best, he can accept that. He can accept when he loses, he accepts he CAN LOSE for that matter. After all, “Some bets you just don’t take.”

He’s smart. He’s experienced. He’s seen a lot and knows how to take it to his advantage. He doesn’t just plan for what he can do. He plans for what can happen. He even plans for the worst. He doesn’t make a plan that is so “perfect” it’s “foolproof”. He knows that’s a waste of time and instead plans for what to do AND what to do if things don’t pan out. He doesn’t see shame in accepting a loss, he LEARNS FROM THEM.

We get glimpses of his past experiences. He doesn’t hold grudges or hold onto things, probably because he’s used to losing things. He only deals with the past when it becomes relevant. Cinder held an obvious grudge on Ruby. Roman didn’t give two shits about her until she was in his face, aka relevant to him again. He focuses on the present. This shows personality and possibly previous experiences, especially backed with the “Then die like every other Huntsmen in history!” And knowing how to play the “He’s not worth it.” card? I wouldn’t put it past a street rat charlatan like Roman to know just how to make someone think that about him an easy feat.

Roman keeps calm and thinks things through, he knows not to be rash and can make logical decisions to fix situations and get himself out of there unscathed.

However. There is one thing that we’ve seen that pushes Roman off of the edge. We’ve seen what pushes him past his breaking point.

He cares about Neo very much and could not handle the fact he just lost her. As soon as he lost her, he lost himself.

A recurring gag in Disney’s Lilo and Stitch: the Animated Series is Gantu while visible in plain sight is asked why he’s so large.

Gantu responds with ��I’m from Samoa” or “I’m Samoan”.

The bystanders usually accept this flimsy excuse and go about their business.

Avatar AU where Aang stays in the iceberg and Katara is mistakenly believed to be the Avatar after she “earthbends” a rock by moving the ice inside it.

Instead of telling the truth and letting everyone down, she and Sokka pull on an elaborate charade and go on a journey to convince the world that the Avatar is back.

What’s that, vintage 80′s calculator watch that conveniently shows the date too? It’s Headcanon Wednesday? 

(Ok headcanon wednesday isn’t actually a thing but it’s wednesday and I’ve got ideas to go on about, so)

So, most of us have seen the fake Marty McFly driver’s licenses floating around that I guess you can order as a prop if you want to. Almost all of these list his middle initial as ‘J’, even though his canonical middle name was later established as Seamus. The out of universe reason for this, afaik, is that it just wasn’t established early on so they just ran with J because, hey-o, Michael J Fox.

(I don’t even want to hear about the 67-draft giving him the middle name Hopkins, A) it was an early draft that bears no resemblance to the actual canon and B) IT’S DUMB, shut up)

So it’s really easy to just write it off as the canon establishing something later that people were guessing at before, but I have A MORE CREATIVE THEORY.

The theory: Marty STARTED OUT with a middle name beginning with J, and his shenanigans in 1955 caused his middle name to change to Seamus.

How can this be? It all hinges on this otherwise throwaway moment:

“Marty. Such a nice name.”

Yeah, it’s a nice name, but you were already gonna name your third kid Marty, so what gives with this moment? 

Here’s the thing. It’s pretty common for parents to switch off naming kids or, if one parent chooses the first name, the other chooses the middle name. 

So picture the original timeline: George names Dave, Lorraine names Linda. When Marty’s born it’s George’s turn again, and he wants to give this kid a family name, and he’s heard the story all through his family of the first McFlys to journey to America, real adventurous bold types, and that feels like a nice legacy to hand to your kid. But when he traces the documents back to his own great-grandfather, the guy was named Seamus. And that’s a ‘weird’ name to saddle a kid with. But hey, Seamus’s brother came with him, and that guy was named Martin, which is a nice normal name, so there you go. Meanwhile, Lorraine picks some generic J-beginning middle name. Maybe someone from HER family, who knows. Voila: Marty J McFly, named after his great-great-great-uncle and some random person in Lorraine’s family.

Now here comes the revised timeline. It’s supposed to be George’s turn to pick a name, but Lorraine is all, hey, remember that kid back in high school who helped us get together? He had such a nice name, and he meant a lot to both of us, so can we go with that? And George is like, sure, but then I get to pick his middle name. And he does the same thought pattern as before, does the same research, but since this is just a middle name and the kid’s less likely to get teased over it, George just goes with Seamus. This time, Marty is named after HIMSELF and his great-great-grandfather.

So, that’s the theory. No, it’s not specifically supported in-universe, and I don’t even always adhere to it myself when I’m writing pre-movie timelines, but I am too amused by the idea of how confused Marty would be the first time, after the time travel adventures, that Lorraine gets pissed at him and whips out his full name.

I have just the Most Important Fact from real life that ever has or ever will pertain to your Girl Out Of Time AU, and that is that there's a (currently Walmart exclusive) new Jem doll available, redesigned with modern articulation.

Meaning that, if/when she gets back, Dani can potentially have two Jem dolls, and they can be friends.

This is probably the only reason she'd voluntarily go back, lol.

I will neither confirm nor deny the possibility of Dani returning to the present at the end of Girl Out of Time. But if she does return to her own time...

...hilarity abounds!

I know everyone and their mom has already made this joke but I had to do my own take on it.

Also a bonus because the idea makes me laugh:

FMA is fascinating because there aren't many works about what it means to be an atheist and a heretic to a god that you can not only see, but who has personally snatched body parts off of your living body and made fun of you for it.
