Ooc: This Is Arguably My Most Popular Blog So I’m Gonna Try My Hand At One Of These Because I Struggle

the thing about Light is that he thinks the average person’s reaction to just about anything is to be completely unfazed. He genuinely thinks that having any sort of reaction (shock, joy, sadness, anger) to crazy news is suspicious and that a normal person would never have a reason to be surprised by anything

which is EXACTLY what makes L 10000x more suspicious of him

The Elemental Dragons

Okay, so everyone knows that the elemental dragons haven’t been used for a while (Season 8 was when they stopped if I remember correctly). The usual explanation is just that the writers forgot or thought they made the ninja too powerful. But! What if the ninja can’t use them? The dragons are all about facing your insecurities and problems then accepting them, but they’ve all been earning enough trauma over the years that they aren’t able to do that anymore. It’s all been piling up until the dragons began to refuse their call.

Tumblr Code.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

He is blind. He swindled Apollo. She is a woman, he is a man, he has given birth to children. Aphrodite turned him into a mouse. He prophesized about Narcissus's fate. She was a priestess of Hera. He was this close to telling Oedipus he was sleeping with his mom. He is Hera and Zeus's marriage counselor. He saw Athena naked. He changes genders like they're clothes. Apollo killed him in one of the most bizarre hits in the mythos. He is the prophet with the answers you seek. Tiresias you will always be famous.

(2/2) The rest of the looping animations! The 18 lawyers were chosen for being present in more than one case.

part one

All with audio!

Ninjago au where the serpentine still see lloyd as an annoying little brat but also recognize he’s still just a kid and that given the chance Pythor would absolutely eat him alive so the rest of the season is the ninja and the snake generals trying to protect Lloyd from Pythor and shenanigans ensue

Also the serpentine and the ninja refuse to communicate so they both think that the other is out to hurt lloyd/put him back into Darkley’s boarding school.

Why Telemachus Wasn’t Trained to Fight

Learning how to be a warrior was typically a fairly important part of an Ancient Greek prince’s education. That would likely be the case in Ithaca too as we can see with Odysseus even as a boy. No untrained child would have been able to defeat Athena’s boar so he clearly was taught to fight. So why was Telemachus not given the same? There’s perfectly able guards so it wouldn’t be from a lack of people to teach him.

Then I started thinking about how much more threatened by his presence the suitors would be if Telemachus could hold his own in combat. His mere existence is already a claim to the throne but they see him as unfit and too soft for the crown. They might not have waited so long to try to get rid of him if that perception didn’t hold. So Penelope might have intentionally withheld that part of his studies to make him seem less dangerous to the suitors.

No one would have thought twice about pushing around someone they knew could take it no matter their age, but the way that Telemachus says that they’re “getting” dangerous in ‘Legendary’ implies that it’s a new development. Sure, they could just be tired of waiting (which certainly still plays a part) but fighting an untrained twenty year old sounds much better than fighting an untrained fourteen year old.
