headcanon: most of the avid seafaring nations are basically gyroscopic. you know, like chickens. they have insanely good balance and are possibly immune to seasickness. this isn't a natural trait and is acquired with practice.
bonus headcanon: that PotC scene of Norrington calmly walking down the stairs as his ship gets utterly obliterated around him even though realistically the shockwaves should be knocking him around? like he's just fucking immune to the laws of physics? yeah seafaring nations can actually pull that off. Arthur does it the most because you gotta admit it's very British but Kiku and Alfred do it too on occasion. Yao used to be really good at it but hasn't been able to do it in centuries, which has resulted in a LOT of "when I was young" rants.
addendum bonus: Alfred is really, really good at mechanical bull riding too. and likely non-mechanical bull riding.
Biggest fandom pet peeve is when people just "ball" Riz,,,he's not just ball. Or a ball. He's THE Ball. Put some respect on his name. It doesn't matter if it makes no grammatical sense. It's not an article anymore that's PART of the nickname. Does that mean you have to make Fabian sound insane? Yes. He already sounds insane have you listened to him. "Thank you The Ball," he says, "oh wow that haircut suits you better The Ball," he says, "my dearest The Ball please come over to my house again and help me find my crystal charger I already cast Enhance Ability on myself Fox's Cunning isn't enough. Save me The Ball, save me!" and you just have to deal with that. Also this one's even more personal and specific but capitalise it!! Capitalise The Ball!! It's a name, I think it should be capitalised. My autocorrect already does and I think that's really funny. Read this post lightheartedly please I don't actually care
I think part of what makes the McElroys so lovable for millennials and gen z is that they’re a REAL underdog success story. All the ones about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs starting Apple and Microsoft from sheds and Jeff Bezos starting Amazon from a shed are wrong. They all came from well-off backgrounds with upper-class privilege coming out their goddamn ears, but the brothers didn’t.
They really were just three ordinary boys from West Virginia, and if you listen to Griffin’s Florida State lecture (the whole thing’s on youtube) he talks about how rough things were for them when they started their podcast. He mentions how they were in mourning over their mother, fighting all the time, and ready to separate forever, but held on and decided not to abandon each other in the thick of it. And things were still rough, because their father had to work stupid hours at the radio station to support himself, and the brothers were trying to make it in game journalism.
And then they started MBMBaM, a goofy bad advice podcast full of improvised bits and comedy segments, and it blew up. They started TAZ, a fun D&D podcast where they played with their dad, and were able to bond together and let him retire comfortably on the revenue it generated, and now Clint oversees the TAZ graphic novel series that’s still releasing issues and spends boatloads of quality time with his three sons. Monster Factory is just a funny game stream where Justin and Griffin try to destroy character creators as much as possible, but it’s one of their biggest IPs. Their TV show was short-lived but explosively popular among their fanbase.
They sell out entire stadiums and Lin-Manuel Miranda plays them We Didn’t Start the Fire parodies as they walk on and people lose their collective minds. Tom Holland fanboys over them at SDCC. People come from all over the place to hear them perform, and that performance never got less authentic. It’s just three brothers and their dad being goofy together and trying to make each other laugh. And the laughter and love they carried for each other was so contagious that it made an entire world of people love them, too.
Maybe they’re a bit weird, and their jokes don’t always land, but they’re not always supposed to, because it really is just a tight-knit family living in the moment. And in this world where our two generations may be close to each other but horribly disadvantaged socio-economically, the idea that these three boys carved out a way for themselves through the sheer force of their own happiness out of such a dark place is more hopeful than any “millennials are killing the mayo industry” article ever written.
Reblog if you do too. Just to prove that it is more normal than what people actually think.
I like to imagine that as he gets older, Riz stress bakes. Especially when he's stuck on a case, he pulls out a cookbook and starts making cookies and muffins and cakes. He like measuring out the precise amounts and having control over something and getting things to come out perfectly every time (because baking is a science) helps relax him from spiraling. He learned from Adaine. She learned from Jawbone and since Riz refuses to seek therapy, Adaine passes along Jawbone's tips in her own secret way to make sure Riz doesn't go crazy. So when the Bad Kids suddenly get a knock ont he door only to find plate after plate of baked good wrapped in plastic sitting on their porch they know someone needs to go do a wellness check on Riz.
❤️❤️❤️
@askgerame i wasn’t really sure all the details of your blog, so im really sorry that this is probably all wrong lol. But i figured i would just mix these two asks together so…..here you go:
Keep reading
reminder that this blog, while not politically focused, supports BLM. bootlickers and racists aren’t welcome here, and never will be.
Please keep in mind this is a LIVE document, which means while everyone has view-only access, Myself and @dullgecko are updating it every now and then
Not all the sections are complete, this is an idea pinboard kinda thing, so we throw whatever we come up with that we feel like typing out into this doc.
There are links to actual fics, music that is relevant is also linked, and there are embedded images as well.
Please make sure to read the disclaimer at the top before getting into the document, it's over 25k of idea stuff, and the AU arcs have headers to help with navigation.
Most of this is Riz-centric, and also FabRiz, but there's plenty of other stuff in there for anyone looking for ideas to vamp off-of.
Have fun kiddos!
I’m seeing so much hate going around and it makes my heart ache so here are some adorable pictures that will hopefully make your day a little better even if it’s only for a few minutes.
And along with that, here’s a friendly and gentle reminder for you:
Reblog to make someone else happy.
Have a good rest of your day/night.
I only drink hot chocolate.I don’t actually like coffee or tea.I’m Ace.It might have been faster to start with that.
