It's So Pure Hearing Them Say Each Other's Names In Various Exasperated And Happy Tones. Then You Reach

While we can agree the Voltron fandom is currently a crash site of vicious disagreements and ship wars, one thing that has risen above the ranks is the sheer amount of ao3 author support. A lot of people are frustrated with the newest season, particularly if (like me) you’re a member of the LGBT+ community who has come face-to-face with the “Bury your gays” trope yet again, or even if you’re someone who has issues with how the plot or characterisation has been done. Everyone’s frustrations are valid because everyone has their own opinion (and I’ll slip in here that while these emotions are yours to express please don’t abuse the creators of Voltron, they deserve respect like any human), but I am LIVING for the sheer amount of genius fix-it fics that have been boosted on this website. While discourse will continue, please be respectful of the fic writers who put their effort into improving the plot how they see fit, and enjoy the works that they lovingly give to the fandom. A lot of reblogs of fics are appearing in the tags so keep up the support for our fandom in these tough times and channel your shipping frustrations into supporting your favourite authors!! Stay positive through these dark times and respect one another!!

Just player things

Noticing the little quirks that your DM has, particularly when they do exposition. Mine happens to uses “Understand this” when he’s trying to impress on us a serious plot point, and is almost always standing up in battles cause he gets too excited. What kind of quirks do you notice your DM has?

Okay but…

Are we not going to talk about how hiro literally just met fred yet with the knowledge that hes into comics is totally willing to build him his own personal kaiju monster and all he wants in return is freaking praise and loyalty?

Hiro hamada, your precious cinnamon roll levels have just been raised by 10 trillion percent.

Gravity Falls Title Sequence

Okay, so I don't know if anyone's talked about this yet, but while watching Gravity Falls I noticed something about the title sequence. The first few times I saw the part where Dipper is pointing out that huge footprint to Grunkle Stan I merely thought that the three Pines were going on a monster hunt and were tracking some sort of monster. You know, family fun time. When it became evident that Grunkle Stan 'didn't believe' about the supernatural stuff the scene became rather sad, as I then realised Dipper was trying his best to prove the supernaturals' existence to Grunkle Stan. The poor little noodle would probably take Grunkle Stan out on one of his and Mabel's explorations in the woods to prove that he wasn't merely a child making it all up. Then it was revealed that Grunkle Stan had known about the supernatural all along, and it all became clear to me. Grunkle Stan was merely pretending that he didn't know what Dipper and Mabel were talking about (you know, in order to protect them), but while he stood there putting on an air of scepticism for the kids, he was actually wondering what type of creature had made the footprint, and whether or not he needed to get his two kids out of there before it all went pear-shaped.

From the very beginning Alex has been hinting at Grunkle Stan's true persona, and it's simply amazing to see it all unfold and reveal it's true form.

Preshow Sensate things

(This may have spoiler for those who haven't seen season 2!!) - The parents of each Sensate have all seen at least one foreign language being sung from their child's mouth. When pressed the children didn't know that they had been singing a Icelandic lullaby or a religious chant in Hindi. They were just singing what was in their head. Once when Nomi was in a row with her parents, she yelled at them in Swahili for about ten minutes. She was locked in her room for being a 'devil child' not long after. - Every Sensate aside from Sun was proficient with chopsticks as soon as they touched them. Didn't even have to be shown how to use them, they just did with the ease of someone being raised on using them. - Wolfgang once got dared to jump onstage at a club by Felix and mess around with the set up there. He proceeded to drop the sickest beats for several minutes before he was escorted off stage. He was offered a job there not long after but he declined as he didn't know where to begin with DJ-ing. - Lito was only in a fight once when he was younger, and he managed to break the kids' arm with a ridiculous form of martial arts. The view of this super tough and manly boy persisted through the years, and is one of the reasons he was picked up for his first movie as an action role. Lito has no idea what happened between the first punch and the kid crying at his feet, but he felt p o w e r f u l. - Riley has broken out of handcuffs no more than five times despite never learning how to do so. She's impressed a lot of people with that trick. - The first time Capheus ever went on a computer, he shut down a large portion of the power grid with his 'messing around'. He still has no memory of being taught what internet explorer even was, but sometimes he dreams of long codes and in his sleep his fingers twitch against invisible keys. - Though she has no idea how, Sun managed to pass her final chemistry test in high school with flying colours to secure her the grades needed for university/college. Her professor couldn't explain how she'd done it as they'd already checked her for cheating, but Sun couldn't even explain what possessed her to write several pages on parts of chemistry even her fellow students hadn't known. - Will became best friends with Diego after he proceeded to do some dope and fancy bar tending skills at a party they were both invited to. Despite the fact Will couldn't hold the liquor he expertly poured and Diego was stuck holding him upright a few hours later, the latter knew that this boy was going to be his best friend, even if it only was for his fancy cocktails. (Will claimed he has no idea how to make any of those fancy drinks, and Diego always thought he was holding out on him until he met Lito and kind of went "ahhhh...you're the fancy bar dude.") - Kala won't tell anyone how she managed to get an important business partner for her work from Korea, but even she's not entirely sure how she apparently managed to seduce the young man with her dry humour and quick Korean. To this day Kala still doesn't know what she did, but now most people at work go to her for business advice as she apparently has the know how?? - The sensates sometimes had moments when they were younger of almost dysphoria. There were days when Nomi almost felt okay in her body prior to the surgery. She can almost feel phantom full hips and budding breasts, and for once she didn't feel like she was wearing a false skin. She felt totally and completely female both outside and in, and not even her family could take that away on those days. In contrast there were days where the others didn't feel comfortable in their bodies. A crawling sensation on their skin as they were hyper aware of what made up their sex. Days where the boys found themselves almost looking longingly at skirts and flowing tops, and feeling uncomfortable with their scratchy stubble. On those days the other girls couldn't help but feel oddly grateful in their bodies, and more self-confident than usual. - Sexuality was another confusing aspect when the sensates grew up. There were days where Will found himself looking at men with a sexual desire he had only ever felt towards women. He was straight (was being the key word here) but sometimes he found himself being turned off by the thought of full thighs and long hair wrapped around his hands. Kala occasionally found herself gazing after the soft dark skin of girls walking by, immediately feeling ashamed after as that wasn't something a proper Indian woman should do according to her family. But the older she got the more she grew accepting of the idea of loving both sexes. And when she finally connected with the others, she could feel acceptance within them. Lito will always be a gay man. That's who he is and always will be, but the lines of sexes blurs whenever he is with the sensates, and it reminds him of the feelings of his childhood where sometimes he didn't even know who he was or what he liked. (I'm sorry this is so long!!)

Ever heard of that one text post where OP’s sister burns her hand and pulls this schist? Yeah. Yeah. Seemed like a very Hamada-esque thing to go down, sO…

razzlepazzledoodot if I burn u burn with me

*person with a high-ranking title demanding the respect that comes with it appears*

Johnny sims, duel-wielding his real life and mechanisms persona: *cocks gun*

toasty-tadashi and karlcat came up with this silly little hc that i just really had to draw out! (・∀・)ゞ

“HC where baby hamada gets picked up from school every day. And every day it’s someone diff from the nerd squad. Parents are confused. How many parents does this child have.

Bonus points if Tadashi purposefully dresses the Baby to match the clothes of whoever is picking them up that day so they look like a matching parent and child. A baseball hat when it’s him, a hoodie and beige shorts when it’s Hiro, bright yellow clothes when it’s Honey, sporty clothes when it’s Gogo, a sweater vest when it’s Wasabi, and a beanie when it’s Fred.

Can you imagine the confusion o m g”

drawing all of Baby’s clothes was so much fun omg (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) also please excuse my terrible handwriting ;;

Holy shit I was just making a mild observation. I didn't expect to get such an extensive answer. Nice!

The best thing about Blue Exorcist is that the True Cross Academy literally lets a demon that they CLEARLY don’t trust be in charge of the entire school. Just like…they don’t trust Mephisto at all yet they let him take care of the next gen of exorcists???? Who the hell let this flamboyant sinner take control???

Unintentionally funny things in ‘I am in Eskew’ (aka me listening to an actual heterosexual podcast and finding every second brilliant in the worst kind of way)

Riyo’s *ratatata* of a hatch being opened in ep 15, sounding so similar to “I’m in the ghetto” that it wacked me out for a couple of seconds

The monotone of David’s voice as he does an awful *scree scree* in reflection of Kenneth’s fuxking stress ball like please my boy how the fuck did u manage to keep a straight face??? While recording THAT???

The entire “my supervisor and my supervisors supervisor” bit in ep 11 that went on forever? Even better when David thinks they’ve swapped roles and doesn’t even dignify changing the titles

The burial part presiding Allegra’s backstory, wherein David sounds unsure whether it is a religious thing or maybe a kink thing when the people starting getting horny for burying themselves. And the fact he and Allegra just go “aight” and leave to go talk about tragic backstory stuff

Allegra manically shouting “just fine!!! Alright then!” When her friends melt into goo as if that isn’t a whole ass gen z mood right there

David and Allegra beginning to date and stand together against eskew after experiencing the fucked up dance recital, only for David to get REALLY into human sacrifice through sack vore at his new job almost immediately. What the fuxk David

David seeing Kenneth as a mere flesh blood with a stress ball fused into his chest: ah, my prayers were answered I get to keep my best friend

David to Allegra: don’t worry, doors and walls have power here. The dancers won’t get through. *Dancers coming through the wall* here’s Johnny! Allegra:

*several strange packages appear on his doorstep* David, quite literally: this is fine *apartment nearly gets swallowed up by freaky tenant, but at least there’s a cereal bar in a jacket pocket* David: I’m winning *apartment finally gets swallowed up* David: aight imma go feral now thanks. I’ll take my hammer and haunt y’alls asses now good day

*stuck in an immigration office and being subject to a “safety check”* Riyo, a coloured woman: ah this shit again

*eskew gifts David a child who likes to play peek a boo over cornflakes* *david snatched away the box* check mate u little fucker

The whole series really just ending with David punching out his identity crisis and then???? Becoming a ghost??? A bird??? And riyo just being like: this was fun and eskew is gonna vore the world but I on the other hand am gonna go find a new dude to get cripplingly attached to

A heterosexual clearly wrote this ending
