Good Things Will Happen 🧿

Shout-out to my fellow weirdo makers out there that create thousands of parallel universes that their OCs simultaneously exist in, where they are, at their core, the same character, but each have subtle differences that make it difficult to fully express what is perfectly consistent across all of them.

The constant cycle of rtc slime tutorials getting uploaded and taken down is as never ending as this dream of life, that goes round and round and round again.

I'm sure part of the reason why some people are resistant to Silver being twisted from Aurora is because he's more active (at least in Book 7) and is generally taking on a more 'hero' role than Aurora has.

But what if I told you there's a 2003 Disney Princess game for Gameboy Advance that has Aurora being the hero of the story of Sleeping beauty 👀

This girly right here.

There's a non-zero chance that Yana might have looked into this game since she used Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge from 2000 as inspiration for Najma

In the game, Maleficent targets the three good fairies and Aurora takes it upon herself to rescue them with magic she borrowed from them (and animal friends), all while she's being hunted down by Maleficent.

When she frees them, she's encouraged to rescue everyone. She also fights against Maleficent (with the assistance of the three fairies) and fulfills saves herself and her kingdom (rip Phillip he's nowhere to be seen)

So not out of the realm of possibility for a character based on a princess to do something more active in a reimagining story. This might've been an excuse to yap about a game I just started to get to play again on an emulation I found online lol

But I remember playing Aurora's story very vividly as a kid. I don't think it's bad to take previously static characters and give them more agency to do things, even if their first iteration was still good. Silver being princess-coded but still an active character is fun to me at least.

I read a post once that said there's a theory that maybe we ARE alone in the universe simply because the universe is so young. We might be the first ones! And what if that were true?

What if we become The Old Ones. What if we send ourselves far out into the universe? What if different species evolve from us? And what if we leave not because we destroyed our own world, but because our curiosity drove us to go as far as possible.

How many generations until Earth becomes a legend? How many species have legends of a world almost destroyed, until the poorest of the Old Ones banded together to save it from the greed of the rich overlords? How many people nesting in the stars would take the story of our planet's near destruction and use it to guide their way of life into something better than what we have now?

Imagine, space stations full of humanoid descendants of ourselves, all taught from wee infancy to serve the greater good, to have hope in even the most dire circumstances, because the Old Ones never gave up, so neither should their descendants.

Humans are space orcs is a fun concept but I think the defining thing about humanity isn't our brutality, but rather, our capacity for hope.

Bit out of nowhere from me but I hate hate HATE how nowadays comic book writers who have never touched an Iron Man comic before write him as a tech bro without any kind of class awareness

As if Tony hasn't canonically been homeless and almost died because of it

As if there weren't lots (and I mean LOTS) of Iron Man comics that are a direct critique of capitalism because no matter how intelligent and talented Tony is, he loses a lot of money because he focuses on doing the right thing and not on making the line go up

As if Iron Man didn't have lots and lots of old comics warning about climate change and global warming

And I blame 1) The Civil War comic and 2) The MCU for this

i love freedom fries having a serious dynamic of slow burn and building a relationship, but i also really adore them having the dynamic of Jessica Rabbit and Roger Rabbit because they are so so silly and i love both duos

Tubbo has been one of the few people to show Dream any grace in this situation, so for Dream to continuously prove that he only sees Tubbo as an extension of Tommy is actually insane. Tubbo should be allowed to cuss him out.
