Here is a picture of Martine and her wife, Bina Aspen:

rainbow mountains (peru)

red soil (canada/PEI)

rings (saturn’s if they were on earth) 

bioluminescent waves

northern lights (canada)

salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)

and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens

Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar

Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)

Chocolate Hills, Philippines

Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland

Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina

Lake Retba, Senegal

Tepui, Venezuela

Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)

(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)

Lake Natron, Tanzania

(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)

Lake Baikal, Russia

(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)

and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.

it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:

(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it) 

“Well, I’d be Fred.”

Blue shoots Gansey a glare. “Why’d you say that?”

Gansey frowns, as if he doesn’t know how to explain. “I don’t know. It just makes sense. And Adam would be Velma, obviously.”

“I wanted to be Velma,” Blue says crossly. “Who am I getting left with? Because, just so you know, Gansey, it’s pretty sexist of you to lump me in as Daphne just because I’m a girl and she’s the only other girl character left.”

“I wasn’t going to say that,” Gansey says unconvincingly. 

Adam lifts his head up from the notes he’s been taking. It’s Sunday and they’re at Monmouth because Adam and Gansey are supposed to be working on a project for school. But then Blue had shown up, and in the ensuing jumps between conversation topics, Scooby-Doo was mentioned, which is how Adam now finds himself listening to Blue and Gansey trying to sort them all into the Scooby gang roles.

Adam categorically does not care. He hopes Ronan gets back from Mass soon.

“You absolutely were!”

“Okay, fine, I might have been. But then if you’re not Daphne you’ll have to be…”

“If you say Scrappy-Doo, so help me God, Gansey,” Blue snaps.

He grins good-naturedly. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”

The door swings open, announcing Ronan’s return and Adam audibly sighs in relief. “Oh, thank God.”

Ronan smirks. “Happy to see me, Parrish?”

Adam’s cheeks flush. “Please, just…weigh in on their ridiculous conversation and then maybe me and Gansey can get back to work.”

Ronan sits on the floor next to Adam. “What conversation is that?”

“Scooby-Doo,” Blue says. “We’re trying to decide who would be who out of all of us.”

“Easy,” Ronan says. “What have you got so far?”

“I’m Fred,” Gansey says as Blue rolls her eyes, but before be can continue, Ronan scoffs.

“Wrong already.”

“Alright then, how would you do it?” Blue asks.

Ronan grins like he’s thought about this a lot, and hell, maybe he has. “It’s not a perfect match up, but Sargent, you’re Fred. Gansey’s Daphne.”

Blue laughs delightedly as Gansey offers a slightly pained smile.

“Parrish is obviously Velma.”

“That seems to be the consensus,” Adam drawls.

“And then…I’d have to be Shaggy, and Noah would be Scooby.”

“Yeah, alright, your version wins,” Blue says, clearly pleased to be the ring-leader in this scenario.

“I can get on board with Daphne, actually,” Gansey says. “She has great hair, and she’s actually very resourceful.”

“Yes, okay,” Adam says. “Now that we’ve settled that super important matter, can we get back to this, Gansey?”

Gansey finally concedes and comes closer to help.

“Ooooh, but what about the Scoobies from Buffy?” Blue asks.

Ronan says, “Adam would be Willow. Obviously.”

“Obviously,” Blue and Gansey say in unison.

then and now.

and yeah, this post includes 15-years old Ronan with curly hair yeah

gansey: i listen to everything my girlfriend says. i don't mean she bosses me around. i just listen to everything she says because, before i had a girlfriend, i never had someone who's always standing next to me who can just point out obvious things that are happening.

adam: i dont look older, i just look worse i think. honestly, when im walking down the street no ones every like "hey! look at that man!" i think theyre just like "woah, that tall child looks terrible! get some rest, tall child! you cant keep burning the candle at both ends!

ronan: ill keep all my emotions right here and then one day ill die

noah: i am very small, and i have no money. so you can imagine the kind of stress that i am under
