listen idk what to think of rdj as doctor doom but i DO know the irondad & spider-son ao3 tag is about to get crazy
Okay hold on. German scientists discovered FISSION, not nuclear weaponry. Fission is also used nuclear ENERGY, which is a step made towards clean energy. This is just from a cursory search of Google (but it is fascinating, good reading material), but nuclear fission is much more than weaponry. That's likely what Shannon was trying to get at; that humans corrupted what elves intended for good.
However, boy oh boy would it be a great recipe for ANGST and HORROR in a fic. The Council tried to wipe out humanity, etc etc.
Shannon did not think it through when she said elves gave humans technology to build atomic bombs. Why? Because the Nazis... YES THE GOD DAMN NAZIS were the first people to start developing it. meaning the elves gave the Nazi's the tools to start developing it willingly
From my time in the Once Upon a Time fandom, your reaction to Peter Pan is either swooning or "oh my gosh, you insufferable prick." I'd love to see this in numbers, so please choose the thing you are the MAJORITY of the time.
If you don't have additional thoughts, I'd love to hear it, but please choose one first.
I have to say: thank you so much for giving such an elaborate response. I learned so much, and I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through it.
I do understand how scary it is to stand up for what's right behind enemy lines, but Lise is right: if it is only the victims worrying about it, nothing will be fixed. Reading through the sources, I could argue that he was not explicitly a Nazi, but he was incredibly complacent, the ass. Which I find incredibly aggravating. I mean, sure, he tried to protest, but when that didnt work he just??? rolled over????? It all felt like a half effort, you know? Which is incredibly frustrating. Like, grow a spine. Stand for what you claim to believe in, Otto.
His efforts post-war are what really upsets me. Like, the threat is gone and you dismiss the effect Nazism had on science? You undermine your colleague and friend? You sweep it under the rug? What the heck? This isn't just passive; it's cruel. It's erasing history, and people's suffering, and oh my gosh I'm going to cry because I can't imagine being Lise and finding out about this after everything she did to fight back.
And finally, after, what, 6 reblogs? I finally understand the concern. I think the idea that elves helped progress Nazi atrocities could really tear the Council down (which would be SO interesting to see), but I think this will be a detail that does not affect anything. Maybe it would break down the elves' sense of superiority? But yeah, I think it was just mentioned to prove a point. I dont know what it means for Shannon specifically, but what an educational experience it birthed.
Again, thank you so much. You have such an intelligence about you, and I am glad to have experienced it. I learned so much from you, and I appreciate you spending the time to dispense your knowledge. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Bread and butter and grape tomatoes is pretty great, even if it isn't very filling.
Spin this wheel twice to figure out what they are!
You make a good point. The way taking deep breaths is written heavily distorts how long it actually takes. What takes a second to write would actually take longer to perform. It even leaves room for an awkward silence.
If you need an example, try to remember the last time you went to the doctor's office and they made you take deep breaths while they listened to your heartbeat. Not too bad in the doc's office, but pretty weird when you're in the middle of a conversation.
a big pet peeve of mine with these books is whenever shannon says that someone stopped and took 'multiple deep breaths' before continuing like im SORRY if i was talking to someone and they just stooped and started breathing deeply id assume they were having a panic attack or getting ready to fight me id probably back up
I saw the blueprints first with the understanding of what the intention was, but if you did not have context, what would it look like to you? I'm really struggling to figure out my own, so I wanted to see what others thought.
I hope all the fucks were funny as intended and not aggressive sounding.
Rb for larger sample size appreciated :)
Guys please what's a pampám. All the definition I'm getting is that it's an insult.
Hello, friends!
I reworked the ol' "Schweizer Guide to Spotting Tangents" lecture from my comics-teaching days, figured I'd share it here. If you want a free, printable PDF for yourself or to share (especially if you're an educator), you can find it at the bottom of this same lesson on my website.
