You Can Tell I Put Little To No Effort Into This

Hey so this might be the late night and caffeine talking but here goes the crazy conspiracy train. Buckle up y’all. So we know that prior to the rise of Molly, his bastard og form was making a deal with a “magic woman” that may or may not have had something to do with his death. Crazy thought, but what if the woman that Lucien was making a deal with is the same woman that resurrected Nott??? Like both of them were resurrected by a “mysterious magic woman” but with major complications? Or I guess Lucien losing his memory was a complication that may have been due to it being one of the first times this experiment was done. Later on, Nott’s transformation was maybe an experiment to see if memories could be retained even if the body was altered. And this could be a reach, but what if these experiments had ties to Lucien’s desire to gain immortality, and that could potentially be done by getting new bodies every time you die?? Or changing to a long-lived race?? Or a more powerful one? We know dunamancy had to do with entropy and time, this could be the Empire’s bastardisation of the Xhorhasian concept of “birth” that comes from the beacons, and a means of gaining soldiers that can perhaps never be killed??

“Oh look a fanny pack, harmless right? Probably just carrying my wallet or some chapstick-”

WRONG

Couldn’t have asked for a better prom date

So I was watching Grey’s Anatomy when I came up with this really angsty thing.

When the explosion happens, Hiro is knocked back by the force and ends up injuring his head so badly that he needs immediate surgery.

After the surgery, he suffers from short term memory loss and his memory keeps relapsing after every 7 minutes.

He doesn’t know about Tadashi’s demise so he would demand everyone to tell him where Tadashi is. When they told him, he’d start crying and 7 minutes later his memory relapses so he takes on a blank look, snaps out of it after a few seconds and ask the same question again (and sometimes he’ll ask why he was crying.)

Eventually, everyone agrees to stop telling him about Tadashi’s death because Hiro has suffered too much and he didn’t deserve this. He needs some hope and support to recover from his condition, he needs to be happy. So if it meant lying about Tadashi’s death, then so be it.

So instead, whenever Hiro would ask: “Where’s Tadashi?”

They’d say as cheerfully as possible: “Tadashi is on his way, Hiro. He’s just getting treated for some cuts and bruises.”

Or sometimes Fred or GoGo would say:“ He’s outside. I’ll go get him!” before leaving and coming back after seven minutes.

Hiro would smile in relief, be cheerful and hopeful. Even return to being his cocky self as he impatiently waited for Tadashi, often remarking with a snort: “Seriously, did that nerd get lost in the hospital or something?” And then seven minutes would pass.

Hiro would ask the same question again. “Where’s Tadashi?”

And everyone would smile and reply: “He’s on his way, Hiro.”

If c1′s finale was a homage to a life well-lived, a heartfelt and bittersweet goodbye, with Liam O’Brien utilising his character to tell his friends how much they all mean to him, then c2 is a perfect parallel wherein everyone gets to finally say no to fate, to tell a friend that their life is worth everything, and also tell Taliesin Jaffe that through his character that they adore him.

Alright this is gonna be a random weird question but here we go anyaway. The volleyball team I was on in high school had this game where we had to yell bingo, bango, or bongo every time someone touched the ball. In that order. So I saw your blog title, promptly had a war flashback, and decided to ask: DOES YOUR BLOG TITLE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT SILLY VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE GAME

Sorry for the late reply but I'm sorry to say that my title doesn't come from a volleyball game. It's actually slightly referencing Lars' "bingo bongo", but it's also just a dumb saying that mutated from several family anecdotes. So unfortunately it doesn't relate to your wild volleyball days but it's funny that my simple title brings up such specific memories.

EVERYONE who reblogs this will be insulted in Shakespearean fashion.

Hey so is anyone gonna talk about the fact that most of the paladins (bar Keith with his dimensional trip on a whale) have been gone from earth for roughly 5 years, but it’s only been less than 2 for them. Their families have been mourning them for 5 whole years, imagining them dead or, more likely, imagining missing 5 years of their lives and their children returning as adults in their early 20s. Like it’s such a throwaway line when Lance sees his family, but when he tells the youngest ones that they’ve gotten so big, they respond with “you’re exactly the same”. It’s even more noticeable with the main Garrison cadets being fully grown adults trusted with being leading pilots in experimental crafts. What a shock it must have been for the Garrison to be expecting cadets like these only more hardened with experience to come home, men and women growing up in a galactic war, only to be met with the same young faces that left all those years ago. How hard would it have been to sit and discuss war council with the legendary Voltron, while looking into a fifteen year old girls face knowing you were sending her out to possibly die. I think about it a lot. And it’s horrifying. The next question is: who is gonna write the fic where the garrison is trying to prepare for the final battle, and has to simultaneously wrap their heads around the fact that they are sending kids to fight their war? The higher ups will dismiss them despite their reputation because they see them laughing and goofing off in spare time, only to confront them with reprimands to reveal that the paladins, particularly Lance, joke to stay positive in the face of the horrors they’ve met. (And it’s obvious that these kids may be young but they have gone through more than anyone can comprehend, as Pidge offers a plan based on the horrific night of going solo against Sendak in the Castle of Lions, or Hunk absently mentioning the hallucinations they experienced prior to earth via a monstorous being and how he was going to sacrifice himself, or even Lance letting slip that he LITERALLY DIED. What can you say to these horrors?)
