😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into “flight” or “fight”?🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes? 🌙 MOON - what is your oc’s greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean? ( For Sailor Sedna? )

😨 FEARFUL - when scared, do they go into “flight” or “fight”?

Fight! Sharks bite, stingrays sting, Nanami punches. She's probably the most aggressive member of their little group, and startling her is a terrible idea.

🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes?

Nanami's only real caveat about cakes is "give her some" but she does have some preferences. She prefers vanilla over chocolate, and she loves anything with fruit. Her favorite kind is strawberry shortcake.

🌙 MOON - what is your oc’s greatest wish? how far are they willing to go for it?

Most ballerinas have a dream role. Nanami's dream role is Odette from Swan Lake. Swan Lake is already an incredibly challenging ballet, but Odette. Odette specifically is harder than hard, and not just because whoever dances as Odette typically doubles as Odile. Nanami is already a damn good ballerina, and she's prepared to work her ass off to get to the skill level needed for the role.

🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?

She can swim! As befitting for Neptune's successor, she loves the water. She's an excellent swimmer, and would happily just live in the ocean, if it weren't for the whole need for air. (Also, she'd miss her friends.)

🖍️ CRAYON - what advice would you give to them?🌩️ LIGHTNING - are they scared of lightning? 🚲 BICYCLE - can they ride a bike? what do they remember from learning to ride a bicycle? 📏 RULER - is your oc well educated? where did they get their learning from? ( For Hiddenite? )

🖍️ CRAYON - what advice would you give to them?

You're a lot braver and more capable than you think you are.

🌩️ LIGHTNING - are they scared of lightning?

When he was a kid, he was. Which might seem a bit ironic, seeing as his mother is Sailor Jupiter. All the same, Cianan did not like storms when he was younger. Still doesn't, really. It's technically the thunder that does it. This boy is not a fan of the Big Noises.

🚲 BICYCLE - can they ride a bike? what do they remember from learning to ride a bicycle?

He probably technically can? It's been a while since he's done it. He prefers walking or parkour over riding a bike. Most of what he remembers from learning involves... crashing. A lot.

📏 RULER - is your oc well educated? where did they get their learning from?

Cianan is still in school. He attends a fancy private school in Crystal Tokyo. He's a great student when the subject interests him, and utterly inattentive when it doesn't.

The haunting ancient Celtic carnyx being played for an audience. This is the sound Roman soldiers would have heard their Celtic enemies make.

As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

You might say “oh well today we all have access to vitamins and toothpastes and dentists so we don’t need those things in our food supplies” and boy do white people on social media loooove to fucking say that. But here’s the thing: no, people don’t all have easy access to those things. That’s privilege talking yet again

Thinking about the original Lilo and Stitch lately.

Imagine you’re Cobra Bubbles. You’ve had a storied career in the CIA, encountered aliens, even saved the planet once.

I assume at some point you get worn out, tired of the earth-shattering revelations you have to deal with on a daily basis. But you don’t want to retire. So you still work for your government, but you try to help kids by working for CPS. It’s not perfect, but you’re trying to do good.

Then suddenly, after who knows how long, you’re dealing with aliens again. This little girl has a new dog and its an alien. You’re not there undercover, you’re not there for any unusual reason, you’re just at work and bam. You’re dealing with aliens. AGAIN.

And not just any aliens. THE SAME ALIENS. From the ONE TIME you saved the planet. The leader of their government recognizes you. She chuckles like you’re old friends. Then she leaves and suddenly you’ve been adopted into this found family with three aliens. Because now the orphan has an alien for a pet and even though her home life is more stable, CPS will probably still be doing check-ups. And who at CPS has any experience with aliens BESIDES you?

If that’s not the universe telling you what your purpose in life is I don’t know what to tell you. Where’s my Cobra Bubbles movie?

i love that someone pointed out that the live action didn’t get stitch as a character at all and that the original stitch is an actual intelligent being

because im remembering scenes from the movies and tv show and the one that stands out for making me laugh is in the sequel where lilo stands up and is like “elvis is speaking to me about doing a hula dance about a chicken!” and stitch just quietly pushes her back down to her seat and says with so much patience, “no he isn’t”
