La fuerza muscular.

Nuestro presidente, Miguel Rodal, ha realizado un estudio sobre la fuerza muscular, la cual ha sido recomendada para su pre-publicación por una de las revistas científicas más prestigiosas (bioengineering). Esto quiere decir que el artículo espera tener bastante impacto de interés entre la comunidad deportiva y de investigación, aún sin las pertinentes revisiones. Tras la recomendación de…

Ever since the portal accident, Danny has always seemed a bit… off, to other people. But even before that, he’d always been seen as a bit of a weird kid. The people of Amity Park were, even at the start, a bit used to it.

The people of Gotham, however, were not.

If anything, they were the opposite. Living in the ‘city of crime’ had built within them keen survival instincts. Instincts that went on full blast in the halfa’s vicinity.

Most simply avoided him. Homeless shelters turned him away. Jobs, even the less than legal ones, hesitated to hire him. Sometimes people would even call the cops if he stuck around in any one place for too long.

Not even the city’s mysterious vigilantes trusted him. He sometimes caught glimpses of their masked eyes following him from the shadows. Watching. Waiting for him to show his true colors.

Or maybe he was just hallucinating. He couldn’t be entirely sure. He didn’t dare transform and risk bringing down further suspicion on himself, nor could he ask anyone to corroborate for what he saw either. So instead, he just curled further in on himself. Surreptitiously using his powers to steal the bare necessities for himself and avoiding everyone.

Not even during the worst of the anti-ghost sentiment in Amity had Danny felt so alone.

I don't know who to send this ask so I'm gonna leave it out here for the public because it just came to me out of the blue: locomotive literature

And I don't mean literature about locomotives, but rather literature written by locomotives

Train biographies detailing their lives on the railway and documenting how things have changed since they were first built

Ghost writers publishing literary works written by trains

Trains with human editors sitting on their buffers as they write down what their engines say and making adjustments for those especially picky or who's words cannot be transcribed because they will be banned otherwise (looking at you Duncan)

Just

Train authors you guys

Me: Trying to find a way to safely protect a Viggo from electrocution while riding a lightning dragon using my basic education, self-taught blacksmithing, fascination with engineering, and costume making knowledge

I feel very qualified for this. Lol seriously tho-

Anyone else have any ideas? Bc while I am going to post my idea on here in a bit (Once I release my next chapter of KTS, so probably sometime tonight or tomorrow) I would LOVE to hear what other people have thought about this problem. I don't want my boy to get fried by his own dragon.

I have done a ton of research, but trying to apply this to the rudimentary knowledge that Vikings had in this period along with their limited resources has been a NIGHTMARE.

hi i make more hybern ocs bc... bc yeah. niamh lore is that she is a mother so i dooble her with her children (non biological tho she just likes picking them off hybern streets and goes mhm mhm 🙂‍↕️, my kid now)

they are her first children 🫶 she doesn't know how to handle kids but fast forward present time they are grown, + she has like thirty children now and counting idk. i explore hybern a lot (because i have to hyperfixiate in very particular things sjm threw in the trash or what else am i going to do with my life) she takes in children because they are often given up since it's mandatory that they are thrown into military training. children who escape or are deemed unfit to become soldiers she manages to place into her care. in secret ofc. for the longest time they are just her will to live 😔❤

timeskip this is them grown up they are a trio of creatures trying to overthrow the government with their mom, all just very great bonding activities

in my mind i have a lot of hybern ocs bc i am very delusional but one day i will manage to manifest them in canvas. or write them 😔 for now they live in the dark recesses of my mind. i haven't even updated my fic in months yet mind u all the drawing and writing happens in my daydreams and occasionally i come here to yap..... i think im rebranding my fic and moving it to ao3 just so i don't post art and writing in same account, for once i will be organised! 🙂‍↕️

its so absurd that walt spends the first half of season 5 so up his own ass about his own brilliance and constantly preening about being the Boss when literally every good idea that saves their asses in that season comes directly and solely from jesse. like bitch u would be in jail without jesse's magnets, put down the brandy and stop jerking it to ur own stupid heisenberg hat!!

Rin and Bakugou have lots of things in common now that I think about it

Kinda started rereading Dressrosa and... Although I always chalked up the similarities between Crocodile's plan to take over Alabasta and how Doflamingo took over Dressrosa as nothing but Oda reusing similar plot elements but in a slightly different way (just to show us what could've become of Alabasta had Croc gotten away with his schemes, what Luffy helped prevent from happening to begin with)...

Robin's reaction to hearing the story of Dressrosa and HOW Doflamingo took over the country, that simple little "...!!", actually does kind of speak volumes

Like if you wanted canonical evidence to Crocodile having been "inspired" by Doflamingo, then yeah, Robin would be The Person who would pick up on that, she'd be the person who'd be like "hey, that story sounds awfully familiar to what Crocodile did", since he was her boss

Do want to note that, timeline-wise, Doflamingo only took over Dressrosa 10 years ago, where as Crocodile had been Scheming and establishing his position as the Hero of Alabasta for 16 years. Like Croc's intent to obtain Pluton and create his military nation utopia absolutely pre-dates Doffy's takeover, so that wasn't and can't have been inspired by Doflamingo at all. It's more just the plan and method Crocodile ended up going with (framing the king (through a bloodbath) and putting the country in a position without a ruler where he could just yoink it for himself with ease) where the similarity becomes more obvious. But it is also kind of where it ends. Doflamingo wanted Dressrosa because he felt like he was entitled to the island (as his family had been its original rulers and he was a Tenryuubito), and was using the island for his own gains (Smile manufacturing etc, for his dealings with Kaidou), all while having a great distain and hatred of the world and how he had been "wronged" (=Tenryuubito rights revoked). Meanwhile... yeah, Crocodile wanted to create a "utopia", only targetting Alabasta because he believed Pluton was there and because Pluton would be needed for his ideal military nation. That minor difference and Crocodile's clear and great distain and hatred of Doflamingo combined...

Yeah, I dunno, this is just interesting to me. God I need Robin and Crocodile to have a lil reunion chat

One thing I'd like the Knuckles show to address is when he developed his electric chaos powers, as it's implied Sonic only started to show his when he caused the power outage

I'd love that too! And it's a good opportunity to talk about my headcanons/theories regarding chaos powers.

Sonic was born with rare powers, which manifested in the form of speed. It isn't until that night at the baseball field that Sonic unlocks his electric state, which initially can only be activated by strong emotions. By the sequel it seems Sonic can turn it on and off easily.

By this logic, we can assume the same for Knuckles: he was born way stronger than the average echidna but at some point had his full chaos powers awakened through strong emotion. Maybe it was during one of his many adventures. Or maybe it happened when he was hit by the realization that his tribe was never coming back.

Random new year thought that I might make into a fanfic at some point:

Ichigo is meant to be this perfect culmination-slash-combination of everything but imagine an AU where Ichigo's contradicting origins (Shinigami/Hollow/Human/Quincy gag) actively handicapped him. Not the lazy 'Yhawch parasite holding him back' explanation. Simply by his very nature, its impossible for any of his powers to manifest to advanced levels without threatening to implode.

Try to advance his Hollow powers? His Quincy powers deteriorate.

Try to advance his Quincy powers? His Hollow powers deteriorate.

Try to advance his Shinigami powers? His Hollow powers love every second but his Quincy side weakens dramatically.

Try to advance Shinigami and Quincy together? Hollow wants a slice of the pie.

Try to advance Hollow and Quincy? Gets no where slowly because they're anathema - very nearly killing himself in the process.

No amount of 'achieving inner balance' would help him with it because by the nature of his existence, he lacks capacity to do these things. The only reason Ichigo managed to gain a high tier shinigami technique like Bankai in the first place? Yoruichi used a doll to force out a twisted malformed parody out of him.

Which would place a whole new spin on the asauchi trial when he fails: O'etsu reveals Ichigo's bankai shattered so easily because he was never supposed to have one in the first place.

Ichigo can never obtain a true Bankai or Vollstandig or Resurrección because the other aspects of his powers violently reject that from happening. At best he can mix-max his base stats to levels far beyond anything others could achieve but he would never obtain the advanced techniques of a pure Shinigami, Hollow or Quincy.

Ichigo could be like Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. Compared to the powerhouses of Kyle Katarn or Starkiller aka. Galen Marek, Luke is actually quite weak. But he brought balance to the force, he brought down an empire and his very name has the ability to shakes worlds (before Disney ruined him).

In my mind, that is the ultimate power Ichigo should've had. Not copious amounts of actual power piled upon him by being a cosmic paradox and freak of nature. His power comes from his symbolism, his feats of will, his ability to inspire change and unshakeable loyalty through sheer force of personality.

Especially since one themes of Bleach is how power shackles and isolates a person. The complete opposite of that theme would be not necessarily the most powerful character, but one with the greatest ability to forge bonds despite that?

It'd be interesting to see how Bleach's narrative would change from that perspective.

wash tormenting the reds in the most petty ways possible because he's still pissed off about them hitting him with a car and then blowing him up in s8 is so important to me you don't even understand

Okay so, I obviously am not even close to reading acosf but ive been seeing a lot of posts about it and nessian and it made me think about some stuff. Why is it that Nesta seems to trigger Cassian's insecurities in the intense way that she does, but none of the other inner circle member do? Like, his biggest insecurity is his bastardhood but hes fine with Rhysand calling him that when hes introducing him to Feyre because? hes doing it in a friendly way? I guess? Idk, i think if he cant handle Nesta calling him that when shes using it as a synonym for asshole then I dont he should be okay with Rhysand doing it in a 'friendly' way but whatever. Also sidenote about his introduction to Feyre, iirc one of them said some line about how all illyrian bastards are basically brothers but then Rhysand is also their brother in all but blood, so for a brief moment I got these crossed wires where I was like "wait, is Rhysand trying to claim bastardhood when he was not only not born out of wedlock but was born as the result of a bond ordained by god" and I dont think thats the case, I think "cassian and azriel share a kind of brotherhood through their bastardhood" and "rhysand, cassian and azriel are adoptive brothers" are supposed to be wholly seperate statements, although it is pretty weird how that line seems to imply that the former is the main reason that Cassian and Azriel are brothers, as opposed to the fact that they were raised together when they were children. very weird, but that might just be me

But lets get back to Cassian. Another thing he seems to be insecure about is the fact that he's a brute or seen as nothing but a brute, judging by the fact that thats something he brings up in that big monologue after Nesta and Eris' dance, but again, I feel like the rest of the IC lowkey treat him like hes a brute and kinda stupid even if theyre not outright saying it. And like, Im pretty sure Amren has outright said it. Not to mention that whole thing with him taking Mor's virginity which, she wanted to sleep with him because he was the strongest warrior which is technically complimentary, but I feel like it should have a similar impact to the overtly negative brute-insults because its similarly putting a lot of emphasis on his physical strength and kindof dehumanizes him (not to mention the fact that its pretty racist, both in-and out-of-universe). Also, i dont think this was ever explicitly said in the text as the reason for why Mor picked him over Azriel, but doesnt it kinda feel like she picked Cassian because he was 'lower'? Like, obviously their backgrounds are quite similar with both of them being bastards but Azriel was the son of a nobleman while im pretty sure Cassian was from like a poor commoner family, and I could definitely see her picking him just to make sure shes thoroughly 'ruining herself' by having sex with someone she as the lowest of the lowest of the low, yknow? And like, even if thats not why she did it, these fuckers dont communicate and Cassian seems insanely insecure so I feel like he shouldve had the same process as I just had, and it shouldve affected their relationship negatively but thats not the case, Cassian is just like "no thoughts, head empty, pagelong internal monolgue about how beautiful and kind Mor is"

I was gonna write another paragraph about the illyrian racism but this post is getting kinda long and I think you've gotten my point by now: the ic can do whatever they want with things that touch on Cassians insecurites and he will not care and continue sucking up to them with nary even a second thought, but if Nesta even exists in his vicinity, it ticks him off so badly. And why is that? Because...... she has rich person-vibes? i guess? Thats it, its just vibes. And Im not the first person to point this out, but the text is really trying to make nessian seem like this rich lady/poor boy dynamic and like Cassian is punching up because "Nesta is like a queen" and its like, yeah, emphasis on the 'like' there because shes not actually a queen and she doesnt hold any power over this guy!!

For a show that's supposedly about female empowerment, it's odd how every major female character is heavily influenced by men

Women whose fighting styles are based on men: Ruby (Qrow), Yang (Tai), Cinder (Rhodes)

Women whose ideologies are based on men: Weiss (opposition to Jacques), Blake (same as Ghira)

Women whose stories are almost completely intertwined with men: Nora (personal arc was figuring out who she was without Ren), Pyrrha (almost every scene with her prior to V3 was with Jaune), Emerald (almost every scene prior to v8 was shared with Mercury), Salem (motivated by Ozma's death, cursed by idiot brothers)

If the writing cast reflected the character cast, we probably wouldn't have this problem

I may or may not be compiling a chronological list of nearly every locomotive ever directly because of starlight express

[evaundertale]

Sorta like my design with Namine I made one for Kairi in the time she's training with Aqua.

But couldn't decide if combining her kh 1 and kh 3 color scheme would work or a full on kh 1 color scheme.

I plan to do a couple of other colors maybe give her some forms inspired off the forms Sora has in kh 2.

I'll probably reblog this tomorrow with the expressions I did to.
