"Shadow Lady?" the soft voice of her mother called, warbling through the ocean.
She smiled, zipping through the water toward the sweet song. The muscles in her powerful tail, almost four times as long as her torso, carried her through the currents at a lightning speed. The gem around her neck, connected by a thin chain to the back of her neck, fell flush against her chest as she whipped around rock formations and brushed against seagrass. In a quick motion, she darted into the clam shell leaning against a rock that made her home, doing a quick lap around her startled mom before throwing her hands up and stopping. "I'm here!"
Her mother chuckled. Pink Coral Branch was known to be a gentle giant, as tall as a hydrothermal vent but as warm as a summer ocean current. Her large hand wrapped around her tiny daughter, bringing her close to her chest. 15 feet of human, 15 feet of tail, all boundless love.
A nameless tune drifted through the water, coming from Pink Coral Branch. Shadow Lady tried to join in, though her notes were off-pitch and her inflection sloppy at best.
"One day, child, you will grow as tall as this reef, and be responsible for the life in it." Pink Coral Branch said. "Your top half will be as long as your tail, and your voice will become something very special."
Shadow Lady held up her necklace, feeling a small tug at the top of her spine. Pink Coral Branch reached for her own necklace. "Do you know what's in here?" She took it off her neck and put it in Lizzie's hands, though it was almost larger than her upper body.
"It's our voice!" She said, grinning up at her mother.
Pink Coral Branch nodded, then took the necklace and weaved it back over her head. "When the necklace grows off your neck, you must keep it safe at all times. It will be how you sing, how you beguile, and how you put on a human skin. Never lose it."
Shadow Lady clutched her necklace in both hands, close to her chest. "I will never."

Lizzie sighed dramatically, smacking her face into her arms. "I hate it here."

Ok, so you've been isekai'd to the dnd world and may or may not die due to the class you've been assigned. Better question. Are you human? (spinner wheel of all dnd5e species)

So I've noticed recently from some of the Traffic analysis blogs I follow (shoutout to @ooooo-mcyt) that the interpretations of Life series members can change DRASTICALLY depending on whose POV you watch, if you watch one consistently. For example, a lot of people (myself included) see Pearl as the protagonist/anti-hero of Double Life. But until I got into Traffic analysis, I didn't realize so many people saw Scott as the villain of that, to the point of blaming everything in the series on him. And that's probably because I watch almost exclusively Scott's POV, so my default mindset is "Scott's the hero". In a similar vein, I'd never considered Flower Husbands with toxic Scott toward Jimmy as a possible interpretation, partially due to my bias towards him.
So! I'm wondering, people who watch only one POV, or watched a certain season from one POV at first, what are online opinions on the characters/season that surprised you? This has been scratching at my brain and I've been wondering whether others have had similar experiences
Hey hey wonderful Trafficblr peeps, especially @whiver-wyverncat lovely mutual <3 love you lots
So I was rewatching Scott's Double Life, and I had a fanfiction idea that needs rating (I don't know if this has already been done, but either way I thought it could be a fun thing after I finish the Joelzzie siren AU)
Modern, Soulmates AU, where everyone's paired up like Double Life, along with Skizz & Gem and Mumbo & Lizzie. Scott is the main PoV. People who haven't found/don't reside with their soulmates after they're in their 20s are kind of seen as having failed in life, and dating someone other than your soulmate is absolutely SCANDALOUS
Soulmates share a tattoo on their hands. They'll also have any injury done to their soulmate appear on them until they meet. Scott and Jimmy dated in college before Jimmy found Tango, and they broke up on sour terms (Jimmy got sent to the ICU because of Tango, which is where they met, and Jimmy thinks Scott abandoned him there, but actually the nurse people wouldn't let Scott see Jimmy because they weren't soulmates. Scott got angry at the idea of "soulmates" after that and when he found out Jimmy found his soulmate, he got really flighty and Jimmy decided to break it off.)
A couple years later, Scott's living with his college friend Cleo, and Cleo has a girl friend group and they realized Pearl's tattoo looks similar to Scott's (Scott wears gloves but Cleo's seen it before he started wearing them) and when Scott ends up out with Cleo they stumble into her friends who insist they get Scott and Pearl to meet and check if they're soulmates
Scott gets trauma triggered and goes on a bad bender the night before they're supposed to meet and (ironically) ends up in the ICU. The Girl Group gets Pearl in there because she suddenly felt awful and they're like "alright let's get to Scott now" and the worst happens, and they're Soulmates
Enemies-to-friends with hints of will-they-won't-they (but they won't) about challenging the amatonormative society with gay and platonic shenanigans. (also Scott and Jimmy make up in the end dw)
silently steals for the fic
Hope you don't mind but for now I'm gonna headcanon that grian already knows that scar is a siren because scar stole his mending book right off his line and at first grian was mad but then scar gave him the book and they became friends (he did not tell Joel)
Is that alright? Or does it conflict with plans you had?
head cannon whatever you want!! i honestly haven't decided what i want to do with the two of them yet so you guys are free to make your own ideas up :D
i think the reason why the assassination of Julius Caesar is one of the funniest political assassinations is for this very simple reason:
1 guy stabs 1 guy: not funny. that's murder.
2 guys stab 1 guy: even less funny. that's two against one.
60 guys stab 1 guy: uproariously funny. why do you need so many guys.
Was curious how far Ithaca was from troy today while listening to epic the musical and rereading the illiad and I found this map

Finally found this post again
who’s gonna tell tumblr that executive dysfunction is more than Not Doing Things?
had a dream that jimmy solidarity decided to prove he wasn't autistic on stream by taking a lot of autism diagnosis tests online and he got at least a 90% chance on all of them. at one point joel joined the call and sat in silence for a bit as jimmy practically sobbed as he got another 97% chance. grian was apparently harassing him about something through discord the whole time too. it ended with jimmy crying genuine tears and his girlfriend coming in to comfort him.
Just your typical Hermitcraft/3rd Life blog. Occasional art. Discord is KaeyaTheAbyssMage cause i might as well.
