I’ve seen so many posts about these two ski jumpers but I have no idea about the actual sport, I just know people ship them and now I want to know the lore!!

[acxsi]

i wanna get something straight before i actually post anything completely nsfw.

afab means that, anatomically, you have female genitalia, right? but the person can be any gender so long as i don’t assign pronouns?

i have female anatomy so it’s just more natural for me to use female terms but i still stand by remaining gender neutral in my fics. technically i could use words like ‘hole’ but saying that too often may sound repetitive, if you get what i mean.

so does that mean i’d tag stuff as “x afab!reader” instead of “x gn!reader”?

Hi my only DC knowledge is from fanfics so pls bear with me

Is Damien against zoos? I feel like he should be if he is so passionate about protecting animals. Cause I heard somewhere that dolphins only live a couple years in zoos compared to being in the wild. (Not sure if true didn’t bother checking). In fics, he is always very happy to go to zoos but idk I feel like he should be against them. And I’m talking about zoos that simply have the animals for amusement purposes, not for protecting and saving endangered and wild animals (I forgot what they are called.) Wait or do zoos do both? Amusement and rescue? Idk either I’m right or I’m god.

ATTENTION TROLLS FANDOM!!

This is very important. Mostly to me but maybe you guys have been wondering this too idk but anyways:

How does troll reproduction work exactly?

Cuz I'm genuinely curious. I dont think anyone on the series production team has said anything and so far I've seen absolutely no one touch on this subject but as someone who's always had an interest in the habits of creatures (both fictional or otherwise), I kinda sorta maybe NEED to know this otherwise I'll never be able to sleep peacefully again

Full disclaimer that I'm specifically talking about the whole egg situation, I am NOT ASKING HOW THEY GET IT ON IF I WANTED THAT ANSWER I'D GO TO DEVIANT ART OR TWITTER OR WHATEVER LAWLESS PLATFORM GOD STEERS CLEAR OF. This discussion shall remain STRICTLY educational, thank you very much

But anywho. Let's dive in

So trolls come from eggs. This is basic knowledge. First instance of this phenomenon (as far as I know, I've only seen the movies) is from World Tour.

Egg pops out of Guy Diamond's hair, egg hatches and BOOM, (literal) baby. Now I understand that this whole sequence was probably just a gag and a way for DreamWorks to implement another (merchandisable) addition to the cast HOWEVER this sequence also raises a few questions

First off, as far as I know Guy Diamond has no partner (again: I haven't watched any of the spinoff shows). Either that or maybe the other troll was a sorta one-night-stand/no-longer-in-his-life kinda situation? Which is great either way cuz its shown he obviously cares for his son and we at Tumblr appreciate a loving single father no matter the circumstances, but if my former theory is correct than that would imply that trolls are capable of reproducing asexually. Like onions.

Now if that hypothesis is, as they call it, "cap" then that would mean that some sorta hanky panky has to go down before an egg comes into question. And if that's the case, does this mean that male trolls are traditionally the ones who carry the eggs?

But that can't be right, can it? Afterall, World Tour gave us yet ANOTHER egg scene later on in the movie

In Cooper's flashback, we clearly see Queen Essence being the one carrying the eggs meanwhile King Quincy is eggless. Now, as far as i see it, this could be explained either one of four ways:

1) Quincy was the one who actually produced the eggs and Essence is merely holding them for her husband (since her hair seems more fitting to be a makeshift nest compared to Quincy's)

2) Female trolls are the ones who produce the eggs. Guy Diamond is just a trans icon

3) Troll reproduction differs from genre to genre

4) There is a... *sighs* a/b/o type of dynamic among troll kind where certain trolls are capable of giving birth/siring children depending on a secondary gender

In regards to theory #3, this could also explain why Guy Diamond seems to reproduce and hatch an egg in such a short amount of time (like 5 seconds I'm pretty sure) as opposed to Queen Essence/King Quincy who's eggs presumably went a while longer before actually hatching.

Actually, speaking off eggs, are trolls the only species in their world that reproduce that way?

Because now that Band Together has officially been released, we now know for certain that it's possible for different species to crossbreed. Biggest example? Resident DILF Bruce and his giant muppet wife

(Credit to @captainunderkrupp )

When I saw these two... I swear...

And these two already have a shit ton of kids okay so like... either Brandi was the one giving birth or trollsona Daveed Digs was over here pumpin out eggs, which I mean-

DO YOU SEE HOW BIG THESE THINGS ARE COMPARED TO BRANCH AND POPPY?? Believe me I am PRAYING that Bruce gave himself some serious maternity/paternity leave because my guy is honestly a trooper

But yeah any thoughts? :))

[jeromeclarke107]

Omg Bruce taking Jeremiah to the graveyard in an attempt to prove that he's safe is actually really sweet. But I feel like Bruce has dealt with enough villains by now that he should...perhaps...be less inclined to fall into this trap.

Like, Bruce. My dear. My dearly beloved. Sweetheart.

I know he's hot. I get it. He's hot.

Honestly I can't judge I'm not sure I'd be able to think with my brain either.

[dia-oro]

I don’t think there’s importance in me being feisty and smart but thank you sweet man, never stop calling me darling that way.

...what is the lestappen gate?

[saetoru]

About that entitled ass post about x reader, op was definitely wrong but a small point was made.

I agree with your response but I'd like to add that, unless you've stated that certain characteristics or features will be present in reader, certain kinds of ambiguity is necessary, especially in appearance.

To make a character completely void of any backstory or personality is just bad writing period but to add an appearance is a little ...

As a black reader, reading about certain things that are supposed to reflect the reader is genuinely disheartening. I'm talking about things like referencing imagery of lighter skin (such as refering to readers skin as pink, pale, creamy, etc) or something like a character running their fingers through the reader's hair or having a hair washing routine that can be done in the time it takes to have a regular shower. I know with people with big bodies, having descriptions of small, light bodies is also disheartening.

Bc, once again, unless it's been stated that those are a part of reader's appearance, it's a little unnecessary bc it shows that although it's x reader it's definitely not for us.

I don't expect writers to write about specific events or characteristics about different cultures and such bc that can also go south REAL quick if you aren't properly educated or aware but a little diversity never hurt anyone

I know that some people do this out of genuine dislike of darker skinned/bigger people but I know most people do it out of genuine ignorance.

Unfortunately, you cannot bring up including people who don't fit typical beauty standards (pale/light skinned, long straight hair, thin/slim bodies) without people telling you that not everyone has to cater to you.

But the thing is, we're not asking you to cater to us; we're just asking you to include us in your vision of reader. You don't need to add specifics of everything regarding different races or cultures but you don't need to add specifics that exclude them.

And then when we go to create our own stories that do envision us, we're met with so much hatred and backlash about it like that one deleted comment on op's post.

I'm sorry for ranting about this but it so frustrating sometimes when people don't understand this. I brought up something similar to this topic once before and got death threats in my mentions for weeks (that's why this is anonymous)

ALSO, I'm not accusing you of any of the things I've mentioned in this ask. Based on what I've read from your work so far, the reader is actually someone you can enjoy reading about without feeling excluded when appearances are mentioned

Btw I adore your rich boy gojo series and would love to continue reading your work ❤️

im afraid you missed my main point and also, u are talking to someone who is literally a POC so i am definitely not in need of a rundown of how important it is to write reader in a manner that does not perpetuate western beauty standards. writing a reader that is inclusive for people in a manner that doesn't solidify western norms is important, but writing a reader that is an all encompassing fit all type of thing in terms of personality and decision making is not

its not that their point ab mistagged gn! readers and white/western physical features weren't valid—it was, but it was sprinkled in their main point that writing reader with personality is an oc and is not belonging in the tags and writers should focus on writing generic hcs instead. they used the issue of race and gender and other minoroties to support their idea that readers have to be ambiguous from all fronts, and that is a very twisted way to use actual real issues to justify your tantrums ab not liking dialogue or what the reader chose to do. my point that i was trying to make is that writers are entitled to write however they please as long as they tag what features of reader are set there. if they mistag that, then yes, that is something you should bring to their attention (politely) because then it misleads ppl to think this fic includes them. but that also is not done through a rant in the tags because that does not belong in the tags

quite frankly, to pair racial and gender representation issues as comparable to not aligning with the choices a reader takes to develop as a character and to put those two on the same boat takes away from the issue of inclusivity. inclusivity of a reader does NOT equal to how they think, process, feel, and progress in the storyline. not fitting in with the actual character of reader is incomparable to racial representation issues and misgendering tags and etc. the latter are REAL issues. the first is simply complaining bc u did not see urself in a plot

the actual problem with their rant was that they were using REAL issues to justify entitled complaining and that is why i did not validate them in that. yes writing reader as white and not tagging it is an issue. yes giving little to no thought to poc readers in writing is an issue. yes mistagging something as gn! while using gendered terms is an issue. but they should not be the backbone to an entirely different argument that essentially censors people

What's it like traveling with their child? Are they good on planes or do they cry? Where would they take them?

Seated in the tub, let’s go!

It’s adventurous, depends on age ofc. First months driving - constant crying and one of dads has to be on the backseat (usually Jan, so he talks to the baby and they fall asleep later). Thankfully, soft noise of driving engine will make the baby sleep in seconds, esp on longer drives outside of Ljubljana.

First of all, I don’t think they would fly with parents so early. But, on the plane they will usually sleep with occasional cry „ati/papi, give attention”. The older the toddler is, the more solutions dads will find to entertain the child. (We all know, treating Nace’s tattoos as free coloring book is the main solution here, so at the end of the flight the sleeve will be magically colorful). I don’t imagine the child getting iPad so early, maybe when they get a bit older they would get one hour on Nintendo Switch.

The last question - basically everywhere, where they want to spent quality family time. First of all - driving around Slovenia and wherever in the car’s reach. If needed - flying to uncle Jere (with mandatory North Pole trip!) or auntie Alessandra (or basically anyone from ESC23 family). I don’t think the child will be dragged on tours - when JO is touring, daycare/kindergarten+staying at family’s is a must.

Tldr; adventurous family, wanting to show their child how beautiful the world is.

"just google it" "do your own homework" "google is free" "find it yourself the information is out there"

but they are. they are asking people who have that information, for the information. they are doing their homework by reaching out and asking people questions. just because it's not typed on a search bar, doesn't mean it's any less of putting an effort to finding things out.

like i'm sorry people in the past refused/ridiculed you when you asked them for help. doesn't mean you have to be like them tho. why is learning through human interaction rejected in favour of isolated learning?

🏳️‍🌈 Day 21: Aristotle & Dante (Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe)

It was practically IMPOSSIBLE for me to draw these two because 1) i've never heard of them until now 2) they are from a book and there isn't any oficial art for me to be guided by, so i don't know their specific characteristics . so i was drawing and guided based on what I could understand from others fanarts? Does that make sense? lol so i'm sorry if it looks so ugly and without personality 😭 i didn't know what i was doing. Now i feel like i HAVE to read this book. anyways, with that being said

HAPPY PRIDE & bye

Remember: i'm drawing a lgbt canon couple daily for pride month, follow me or check my profile to see the rest!🏳️‍🌈 Thanks for the support!

Eggad is the bad guy in the first Luigis mansion and you can't change my mind. It all started because of him, when he decided to captured all the portrait ghosts and Boolossus!!!!

Don't know much about LM lore (I'm only into it bc of KB HAHA) but like. yeah?? wtf was his problem. what was the reason for him to start capturing the boos, they were just being goofy

It's never about whether understeering or oversteering suits one driver or not.

It is however about WHY THEY WOULD MAKE AN UNDERSTEERING CAR WHEN THIS YEAR'S TYRES ARE MORE SUITABLE FOR OVERSTEERING and they KNOW that tyre management was a big issue last year.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
