Omg Yes!!

I was getting pretty fed up with links and generators with very general and overused weapons and superpowers and what have you for characters so:

Here is a page for premodern weapons, broken down into a ton of subcategories, with the weapon’s region of origin. 

Here is a page of medieval weapons.

Here is a page of just about every conceived superpower.

Here is a page for legendary creatures and their regions of origin.

Here are some gemstones.

Here is a bunch of Greek legends, including monsters, gods, nymphs, heroes, and so on. 

Here is a website with a ton of (legally attained, don’t worry) information about the black market.

Here is a website with information about forensic science and cases of death. Discretion advised. 

Here is every religion in the world. 

Here is every language in the world.

Here are methods of torture. Discretion advised.

Here are descriptions of the various methods used for the death penalty. Discretion advised.

Here are poisonous plants.

Here are plants in general.

Feel free to add more to this!

(Sound on.) We’re all doomed.

Love this show!

Ever After High Pokemon Teams - Raven Queen

Part 2 of my headcanons on what Pokemon teams and Trainer Classes Ever After High characters would have if they lived in the Pokemon world! Let's get is started!

Raven Queen

Daughter of Eris Queen, a.k.a. The Evil Queen, Raven has had to fight against her mother’s legacy for her whole. From her mother who wanted her to accomplish the dream she never reached, to her peers to thought she would follow her mother’s footsteps a run Team Queen, everyone seemed to expect the worse of her. 

Raven refused to give up and decided to follow her passion of performance and became a Pokemon Coordinator! This surprised everyone, especially Apple who always thought that Raven would be a trainer like her mother and that they would carry on their mothers’ rivalry.

But Raven has no interest in carrying on her mother’s legacy - she is more interested in creating her own! And that is just what she is gonna do with her Pokemon by her side.

Trainer Class: Pokemon Coordinator

Raven's team is made up of Pokemon that either are misjudged because of their appearance or reputation, or just plain look wicked cool. I would imagine that she would not care that much about having a balanced team since she is not competing in battles. Her performances are more focused on looking cool that "pretty".

Draco the Dragapult

Moves:

Phantom Force

Dragon Rush

Dragon Darts

Lock-On

Raven's main partner Pokemon, Draco wows the crowd with his speed and majesty. Draco has been with Raven through thick and thin ever since Raven found him as a Dreepy wandering around her mother's dungeon. At first, Draco was very weak and scared, but with Raven's and the team's support, Draco has become a strong and speedy hitter and performer!

I always knew that I wanted Raven to have a Dragon Type Pokemon as a referance to her pet dragon Nevermore and I had initially had Hydreigon as her starter, but decided that the Dragapult line fitted Raven better due to the story of Dreepy starting out weak but getting stronger and eventually becoming a strong Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon.

Midnight the Umbreon

Moves:

Dark Pulse

Swift

Moonlight

Confuse Ray

Raven's secondary Partner, Midnight loves to show off how brightly he shines and lights up the lives of those closest to him. Midnight was given to Raven as an Eevee from her father and in very loyal to Raven and is incredibly protective of his trainer - Apple never understands why Midnight is wary of her but somehow loves Dexter!

I definitely wanted to give Raven a Dark Type Pokemon. I settled on Umbreon because it looks a bit like a dog and I thought is was a cute reference to Raven's pet puppy Prince that her mother turned into a Bone Rat in the books. And also because Raven would definitely have a Pokemon that evolved via Friendship. So Umbreon was perfect!

Lita the Gothitelle

Moves:

Psychic

Thunderbolt

Hypnosis

Shadow Ball

Raven met Lita as a Gothita and was immediately impressed by her sass and love of performing. Lita loves creating psychic shows for the audience that tends to instill both awe and fear everyone who sees them. Lita does not take any crap from anyone and has no patience for nonsense.

The Gothitelle line was an easy one for me to include for Raven's team. Not only because of the whole "goth" aspect, but also because Psychic Types would also fit Raven's vibe.

Nina the Nidoqueen

Moves:

Poison Jab

Earth Power

Crunch

Superpower

A proud superpower who takes no shit, Nina - as she loves to be called on stage - Nina the Poison Queen, is a rough and tumble beast who loves to show off her strength. While initially a shy little Nidoran♀, Raven helped Nina conquer her stage fright and show off how cool and powerful she truly is!

I thought it would be cool for Raven to have a Pokemon that literally has "queen" in it's name and here she is! Plus, I feel like a Poison Type Pokemon really fits with Raven's aesthetic.

Jaws the Aerodactyl

Moves:

Stone Edge

Fly

Iron Head

Strength

Despite Jaws's fierce appearance and scary name, he is really a sweetheart who is still adjusting to the new world he has found himself living in now. Jaws does not like scaring people and Pokemon because he finds that they will often run away from him. What he does like though, is showing off how high he can fly and how cool his moves and Mega Evolution are! He loves his trainer and his team who see him as the sweetheart he really is!

I felt like Raven needed a Flying Type, but I like to avoid repeating Types when I can, so this one was a bit tricky. But I eventually hit gold with Aerodactyl! Not only is it a strong and cool looking Pokemon that did not share a Type with any of Raven's other Pokemon, but it even looks a bit like a dragon!

Bella the Granbull

Moves:

Play Rough

Fire Fang

Scary Face

Payback

Raven met Bella as a Snubbull and the two had an instant connection. Bella's fierce and intimidating face often had other Pokemon running away from and not wanting to play with her - just like Raven when she was young! Raven offered Bella a spot on her team and Bella leap right into Raven's arms, happy to have friends at last! While initially unsure about Contest, Bella quickly found her footing in performances and a gentle giant and loves showing that you can be kind and strong at the same time!

I thought it would make sense for Raven to have a Fairy Type to round out her team and the story of Snubbull and Granbull looking fierce and scary but really being timid and scared really reminded me of Raven's struggles, so I thought they fit.

And there it is! Another full team of Ever After Pokemon! Feel free to tell me waht you think and I'll post the next teams as soon as I can!

Did The Jedi Commit War Crimes?

There’s been an idea going around that the Jedi were war criminals, and it makes me wonder if some of these people have ever read the Geneva Convention.

My implication here, of course, is that the Jedi were not war criminals. In this post, I will be going through some of the instances people point to when they say the Jedi were war criminals, and checking them against the Geneva Convention to see if they count as war crimes.

Warning: A long post under the break. Also anti-Palpatine views.

Queer family is me and my husband who met at our school's LGBTQIA+ Alliance in college.

Queer family is my boyfriend who got ordained so he could officiate his partners' wedding.

Queer family is our household, which consists of three people who are in love with each other and building a life together with two dogs and two cats.

Queer family is my friend and former lover taking a week off graduate school in Australia and flying across the world twice in one week so she could be at our wedding in person.

Queer family is setting aside a bedroom for our asexual friend to make it clear she will always have a space in our home.

Queer family is our fridge stocked with soy milk and vegan butter because one of our friends is allergic to dairy.

Queer family is my biological siblings who are also queer and who thankfully had a much easier time coming out than I did.

Queer family is planning a baby shower for my nonbinary friend to help them pay for baby clothes, cribs, diapers, etc.

Queer family is the homes and communities we build for ourselves and each other.

Queer family is the ancestors who went before, who dedicated their lives to building a future where I could safely live as an openly queer person.

Queer family is the children I will help raise, whether I'm their parent or not, who will hopefully live in a more accepting world than I do.

Queer family is the descendants I will never meet, who will experience gender and sexuality in ways I can't even imagine.

Queer family is strong.

Queer family is powerful.

Queer family is beautiful.
