but just to put it in perspective-

He has the same personality type (ENTP) as Tony Stark, the most famous asshole on the planet.

Tony Stark wouldn’t be Tony Stark without his Smartass quips that you technically can’t get mad at him for because he’s right, and he knows he’s right- he’s a genius.

no, I’m not saying that just because they have the same personality type that they’re gonna be exactly the same but I do see some similarities…

Yes, I’ve seen the shipping posts. This definitely totally has nothing to do with that whatsoever. And I definitely do not fuck with it at all that’s completely and utterly false.

But,

What interests me about this is, he has power right? He leads people and he gives orders- a lot nicer than Stratt and with more patience but he’s shown to get incredibly competitive and well bitchy right? And he kind of puts a barrier between others and Stratts bluntness, the comedic relief, the reassurance of “you’ll get used to it.”

He tries to comfort people who are obviously caught off guard or effected by Stratt’s attitude and actions.

What if they are both having a bad day though? What if they are both in a sour mood, something went wrong and they are in a funk- how would that possibly look?

Grace isn’t a saint, he can still have negative emotions and interactions with people and is willing to argue with people and so can Stratt but she just kind of tells people how it’s going to go and them complying will just be less embarrassing on their end.

I’d imagine they’d both have NASTY resting bitch faces.

If Stratt isn’t laughing, it’s okay she doesn’t do that,

If Grace isn’t laughing either, oh no you fucked up.

Idk if I was on that boat and I saw that they were both in a bad mood… I’d probably jump off tbh.

Grace would probably use the teacher argument and say he gets more cooperation and useful information from 12 year olds.

And Stratt would do the Miranda and hit you with the “That’s all.” and dismiss you like you’re just water in the vase ocean they are traveling in.

I need to see this scenario play out from other characters perspectives because that’s where all the comedy is.

Like if an ingredient to your favourite meal goes extinct, or your favourite item of clothing breaks but the methods to fixing it got forgotten thousands of years ago? Stuff like that?

I’d imagine that’s what grace feels like on Erid.

No not movie grace, because I’m sure anything he breaks they could fix. I’m talking about book grace.

He didn’t have any personal effects, like at all.

He had like one suit with his name on it, everything else he might have changed into or used or was the other crew members- including DuBois.

Like yeah sure he’s happy to be alive and still doing what he loves but I think it would be natural for him to miss small comforts, a specific shirt he liked, his favourite coffee brew, things you probably don’t appreciate and recognise as part of your everyday life until they are gone. Maybe he liked animals and was planning on getting one before everything happened?

Also what do you think happened to his apartment? Would the government have just got rid of his stuff and let his landlord rent it out again? Or would they have put some of his stuff in a museum? Or Would they have kept it as is and used the whole apartment as a memorial?

I just finished ep 50 and I’m having some feeling’s.

I’ve been a tma fan for like 5 years now but for some reason I’ve only recently listened to protocol, I started when it came out but just never finished the first episode- Now I’m hooked like a crack addict.

Papa more Movie. Type shit.

Uhhhh right feelings!

When the Archivist first showed up I was like “oh hell yeah!” Natural I thought it was Jon looking for a way to get his body back, and him and Martin home to their universe (I had a feeling it was alternate universe shit rather than a regular sequel)or at least out of the computer? Dropping hints to Sam who was the only one to take the statements seriously, to help them maybe?

Obviously that was simple wishful thinking and mr Jonny sims sir wouldn’t have done something that simple, I love it.

Always had a suspicion about Celia though, so glad I got one thing right. And after the Archivist started actually killing people I did a double take on my theory because even if Jon had lost the plot he still probably wouldn’t kill people, it’s not very practical.

The parallels between Jon and Sam though. Even Melanie can see those…

All this computer junk has me thinking about MAG 65 - binary, some dude supposedly programmed himself into the computer and this lady accidentally downloaded him onto her computer, she thought it was fake until he started talking nonsense about how he can’t feel anything but it hurts, asking for help and stuff like that. She forced quit the program but then he showed up on her tv that wasn’t connected and shit, haunted computer basically. But I wonder if the real Jon, Martin and Johan are actually trapped in the program if it would get to that point, Freddie already seems to have a mind of its own so maybe? ‘Chester’, ‘Norris’ and ‘Augustus’ seem to have enough consciousness to pick and choose relevant statements. (I love their names btw they are so cute!!)

So I wonder if there will ever be more Canon evidence that they are conscious maybe?

Also I want to talk bout that lady that traveled before the apocalypse, she gave me the same vibe as Celia tbh- not that she’s evil or anything but that maybe she knows more than she’s letting on, has some greater importance later something like that. Plus Some lines in MAG 200 now got me thinking…

When Jon was asking Martin to kill him he said, “Maybe we both die, probably. But maybe not. Maybe everything works out and we end up somewhere else.”

Naturally you’d think it was just a small thought of comfort before dying, but why did he say THAT SPECIFICALLY. If that lady actually showed up before the apocalypse, traveled to their world, he probably knew- sly bastard.

If that’s true bro… Melanie, Georgie and Basira would be so mad that Jon and Martin just entirely jumped ship, JUMPED UNIVERSES.

I know the rest of the fandom probably has all this figured out but I’m just getting my thoughts down, because to avoid spoilers I haven’t looked at anything so… IDK WHAT YALL KNOW OR DONT KNOW OKAY.

I’m re-listening to the Magnus archives now and the more that I listen the more things seem to jump out at me like there was one statement where John asked specifically about bones like a skeleton and that got me thinking about Sam‘s fear of skeletons. 

(Sam jonmartin love child fr)

just little things that aren’t necessarily connected but just make me think that it’s an intentional reference nonetheless

I feel like I’m back in my gravity Falls book of Bill release prime time right now.

Obadiah Stane: A new generation of weapons with this at its heart, Weapons that will help steer the world back on course, put the balance of power in our hands- The right hands.

Captain America- Civil War:

Steve rogers: We may not be perfect, but the safest hands are still our own.

Tony:

Are yall seeing my vision… 😏

Here little hc: If Wukong get the Samadhi Fire and have break down like Mei he wont run away. He expect other to run away because that always happend to him. People abandon him so he think it's the same this time. Unlike Mei, Wukong dont have someone who can balance his emotion like MK did with Mei at the time. He would just let himself burn if he too lost in his own emotion and bring lbd with him

Oh you just game me a brilliant idea and I think I know the perfect screenshot for this very accurate Hc 😈

But I’m so glad you like them, they were super fun to make and you’ve given me inspiration to make more!!!

They aren’t perfect but these are my first screenshot redraws I’ve ever done so I think they are pretty great!

Lmk if y’all wanna see more and constructive criticism is always welcome!! <3

...

OKAY SO.

Listen listen, I'm not against the Arin Villain Ark thing, HECK IVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT SINCE SEASON ONE?! But let's get one thing straight,

The stuff about his parents? Chill whatever.

Ras' teachings actually making him better? Awesome stuff Arin, happy for you mate.

Blaming Wu and only Wu for the merge? Go for your life kid!

Getting mad at Sora for not taking the chance of you failing and losing another ninja? Not cool man...

In the moment when Sora faked Arin's object spinjitzu, she wasn't thinking:

"Oh golly gosh I want my buddy old pal to have a win because I'm terrible and have no faith in my friends!"

No, she was thinking:

"SHIT SHIT SHIT HE'S ALREADY SUPER STRESSED AND WE CAN NOT LOSE ANOTHER NINJA I NEED TO HELP HIM IN CASE HE FAILS FOR NYAS SAKE."

Which is reasonable in the situation they were in, Arin put the fact it wasn't his victory over the fact that what Sora did on his behalf, saved Nya's life.

Well, her free life that is.

Arin clearly doesn't see it this way which is another reason why he isn't ready to be a ninja, he's selfish period. He's all about finding his parents but what did he think we going to happen when he found them, leaving the ninja and his training to be with his family again?

He hadn't thought ahead, only focusing on prioritising his goals which was likely holding him back from training with the ninja, knowing at least subconsciously he was going to dip as soon as he found his family.

The first chance he got to find his family, moral or not he bounced, leaving the people who took him in and his Best friend.

ARIN CHOSE THE FURRY WHO BODYSLAMMED HIM SO HARD INTO THE GROUND HE CALLED NYA AND LLOYD "MUM AND DAD" OVER THE NINJA HE IDOLISED SINCE CHILDHOOD.

He was not ready to be a ninja, he was selfish like Morro.

OKAY LISTEN, I'm writing a Lloyd and Benthomaar fic where they find comfort in each other after Nya's funeral and I want to tie in the fact that bentho lost like- his whole goddamm family but idk how...

CUS LIKE LLOYD WILL UNDERSTAND THE LOSS OF A GOOD FATHER?!?!

I want them to bond over shared trauma.

does anyone have any ideas for like how to start that kind of conversation T-T

DRAGONS RISING SEASON TWO SPOILERS

I was scrolling through AO3 for Dragons Rising Part 2 angst related to you know- KAI BEING SACRIFICED, and all of the fics were about Jay losing his memory?

It got me thinking about how Kai's relationship with Nya has always been pushed aside in favour of her and Jay's, like seriously that's his sister for crying out loud, move over Jay you're just the boyfriend.

In skybound when Nya died, who was holding her? In seabound who got to speak to her and try to convince her to stay? In crystalized whose grief was more focused on?

Jay.

Why is it all about Jay? Kai raised her, and he became a ninja to save and protect her, he's literally related to her!

I MEAN SURELY HE CARES CUS THATS HIS GODDAMM SISTER RIGHT?!?!

He cared when Zane died (s3), Lloyd got possessed (s5) and kidnapped (pretty much every season), and when Cole fell (s10) so it's not like they are trying to write his character as the no emotions-suffer-in-silence kind of guy right?

It's not just with his relationship with Nya, anytime something bad happens to Kai he's either directly told to get over it or, forced to focus on something else, then the issue seems to be forgotten?

Not just by the fandom but by the writers too! And until recently people still believed he was just a selfish character that only thinks about himself, when that really was never the case!!

When Zane died Kai said this to Lloyd: " And where's the Master of Ice, huh? He's gone, but I'm still here. Who cares about honour? It should've been me. I should've been the one—"

He is literally talking about taking Zane's place in being the one who died, not because he's selfish but because he thinks Zane was a more useful member of the team!? He felt like he could and should have done more to make sure Zane didn't do what he did, to protect him, and instead of being comforted in this state of mind, he got told: "You always thought you should've been the one. First, it was being the Green Ninja, now this. When are you gonna start thinking of someone other than yourself?"

THAT IS NOT A SELFISH STATEMENT. Not cool Lloyd, I love u but not cool. >:(

I could give more examples but I have a Lloyd plush to save!

(my father said if I don't get an A on my next school assignment he'll feed the new Lloyd plush he got me to the dog...)
