"i Grew Up Reading Percy Jackson", "i Grew Up Reading Harry Potter" Yeah Ok But Where Are The People

“Long ago, the 8 Servamps lived together in harmony…”

I’ve been thinking about a Avatar The Last Airbender/Servamp AU for a very long time now!!! But I put it off for many reasons–

Mostly cause poses and outfits designs are hard lol But also because I couldn’t decide which element would suit each character… some I knew for sure what I wanted, but others I liked multiple ideas! So I drew both concepts.

 I can’t decide if I like Earthbender Freya or Kiyoshi Warrior better, Airbender Licht?? or Water Tribe Licht…and then Sakuya??? There’s several ideas there too. 😅 It’s been YEARS since I’ve seen ATLA. I slowly remembered a lot of things! It was quite nostalgic~ I’ll have to draw some actual fan art for it later!

I really just wanted to get the overall concept out of my system, it was so fun to do this!!! I was actually going to draw more characters and ideas, but maybe later lol this post got really large before I even knew it. I was actually going to make that comic longer too but HNNNGGH WORk–

Here’s a bonus doodle too, cause I just imagine so many scenarios and ideas omg:

Got to become the master of all 4 elements!!

C: “What?”

B: “Did I stutter?”

C:“N-no, but they are not real peop-”

B:“FuUlL.HoMmOo.”

REBLOG IF YOU ARE PART OF THE INHERITANCE CYCLE FANDOM

I’m just curious to see how many people are part of the fandom for the absolutely fantastic Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini.

girls don’t want boys girls want servamp season 2

So the footage of Owen training the tiny raptors in the new Jurassic World kind of (inadvertently, I think) confirmed something that always bugged me about the social dynamics mentioned in the first film.

Owen’s using the term ‘alpha’ wrong.

Of course, the concept of pack alphas is rooted in a lot of erroneous studies anyway. But if we take his actual assertions about it and Blue’s behaviour at face value, then Owen is wrong. He’s not the alpha. Blue is the alpha. The pack follows her cues, that’s why they go with her when she decides to follow the Indominous, and it’s also why they listen to Owen - because Blue does. If Blue stops, so do the other raptors. They’d don’t just wait it out to see who’ll win, they immediately follow Blue’s lead.

Blue’s the leader. 

Owen is, actually, the mediator.

He is the one who stops disputes between the raptors and defuses tense situations. He is permitted this status precisely because he’s physically weak (compared to raptors) but socially important. His social importance was created by rearing the raptors and forming emotional bonds with them. But they know full well that he’s squishy and beatable (though they probably don’t realize just how lethal some behaviours might be for him, comparatively). Blue knows she can kill Owen and that Owen is not strong or very useful at leadership decisions for a velociraptor pack. She accepts his input because he’s dad.

So since Owen actually isn’t even in the running for pack leader, and challenging him would be pointless because then you’d just hurt him and cost the pack a socially important member, and also probably get beaten up by Blue, he is the ideal mediator of disputes. His intervention de-escalates situations by reducing the amount of violence that’s permissible. 

But because he was using so much containment and physical force (even if it was through equipment, obviously) to keep the raptors in check, I think Owen misjudged his placement in the raptor social group. Especially since he actually was tougher than them when they were babies. He thought they listened to him because they believed he was stronger than them, and that this was an illusion he had to maintain.

That was never actually the case, though. Blue knew Owen was way weaker than her the whole time. She just valued him anyway.

There’s probably a metaphor about toxic masculinity in there somewhere.

when crows remember people who wronged them and hold grudges it’s ‘intelligent’ and ‘really cool’ but when i do it i’m ‘petty’ and ‘need to move on?’ what kind of double standard honestly…..

Ah yes! D.Gray-Man, the manga where the main villain is aggressively trying to adopt the main character.

star wars prequels daemon au thoughts?

This is actually super hard because I have no idea what animals exist in Star Wars, there is just SO MUCH Star Wars. So long story short, VAGUENESS FOR THE WIN. 

Obi-Wan’s daemon definitely settled like, RIGHT after Qui-Gon took him as a padawan, just immediately after, basically INSTANTLY after. Finding out they’re going to be/NOT going to be a Jedi has been the moment of settling for a whole lot of Temple-raised kids, so this is totally unremarkable. She is not a remotely unremarkable daemon, though. 

Padmé‘s daemon is unsettled when she first shows up, as are all the daemons of her handmaidens. It doesn’t actually matter because they’re all perfectly comfortable touching each other’s daemons, but it’s still how it is, even though most of them are a bit old for it. He settles during the endgame of The Phantom Menace, and he settles into something big and flashy and super impressive. People who pay attention to him are a lot less likely to underestimate Padmé. 

Anakin’s daemon ALSO settles during the endgame of The Phantom Menace, which is pretty dang early for a daemon to settle. Obi-Wan didn’t even realize she WAS settled for a good long while, he just assumed she didn’t like to change very much. Why would a NINE year-old’s daemon be settled, after all? She’s small and fierce and absolutely fearless, and they’re separated because slavers are bastards. Someday Darth Vader is going to look terrifying storming around without a daemon. 

Ahsoka’s daemon is already settled when they meet Anakin and his, but sometimes they wonder if maybe he should’ve waited. 

The clones all have daemons, down to a man, and DIFFERENT daemons at that. The galaxy at large is not entirely sure how to take this. 

the steamiest smut for the fluffiest, most romantic fic ever. reblog if you agree 

For the au meme, would you do a Obi-wan as Mace 's Padawan ?

Yoda has Plans, of course, but recently-Knighted-his-padawan Mace Windu is wandering through the Temple alone and pondering upon adding a few new Vapaad moves, missing having Depa as a sounding board now that she’s taking missions of her own, and literally trips over an initiate that is full of anger and righteousness and a deep, abiding love for the Order and also about to apparently get shown off to somebody in an exhibition match or something, which, WHY, HE IS PERFECT, WHO NEEDS TO SEE ANYTHING ELSE IF THEY’VE MET HIM?? Also, there’s the suggestion of at LEAST three shatterpoints literally SITTING on this fucking kid, and they are fucking INTENSE ones because they are all decades out but they are also all rock-solid and Mace can already see them starting to show. If the Force has ever wanted him to sit the fuck up and Take Notice more than this, he could not even THINK of when it had been. 

“I realize you’re busy at the moment, but you don’t have a prospective Master, do you?” he asks, eyeing the kid’s right ear. There is zero sign of anything even resembling a braid but it’s polite to ask and all. “Uh–what?” Obi-Wan asks stupidly. Mace tries to remember how you woo a padawan into accepting your teachings; Depa sort of just latched onto him and things went smoothly from there, he’s not really sure how to just adopt one cold. Then again, the direct approach has served him fairly well in life. “The Force is telling me you would be a very suitable padawan for me, and I would be honored to prove myself as a suitable master to you,” he tries. “Will you accept?” 

Obi-Wan has never said “YES PLEASE” so fast in his LIFE. It’s MACE GODDAMN WINDU, Vapaad Master and all-around badass and CHAMPION OF THE JEDI, of COURSE he says yes. He goes to the exhibition match against Brock just dazed and confused af and also not entirely sure he’s still supposed to do it now, but also FUCKING DYING OF JOY TO THE POINT HE CAN’T STOP GRINNING. Everyone is like “um Obi-Wan are you okay” and then Mace sweeps in behind him and claps his hands down on his shoulders like “HEY so Master Yoda, I know you’re doing a thing here but I’d like to take my new padawan to get a haircut and put a braid in if that’s cool with you?” 

“What,” Yoda says blankly as the initiates all freak out and Qui-Gon IMMEDIATELY takes the opportunity to FLEE LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER, BLESS YOU MASTER WINDU HE OWES YOU ONE, HE OWES YOU TWENTY-ONE. Yoda is like FUCK, SO CLOSE I WAS. Brock Chun is eeeeven more pissed than in canon, probably, that’s definitely gonna bite someone in the ass later. <<;; 

And ah yes the impending first meeting of tiny Padawan Kenobi and Jedi Knight “you literally JUST Knighted me and you’re ALREADY taking a new padawan, Master, omg take a VACATION why don’t you” Billaba. It will be BEAUTIFUL. ❤
