Here's some Chat Noir! I honestly think he turned out the best, him and Alya are the only ones who's hands I'm confident with.
I toyed with the idea of making Adrien The Avatar, but I decided against it, making him the prince of the Northern Water Tribe instead.
Chat Noir to Adrien is a way to escape the pressures of his daily life and to practice some form of bending other than the (I don't know the word but they're essentially party tricks) forms that his father only lets him learn.
Adrien is in Ba Sing Se with Gabriel, Nathalie and The Gorilla for some diplomatic reason or other - it's not important. What is important is how he had accidentally joined Alya's small band of thieves as Chat Noir, on his first outing in the city.
From one of Alya's thieves he learns Actual Waterbending. I don't know who yet.
Marinette | Alya | Nino | Kagami | Luka | Juleka & Rose
All of these statements:
"C!Tommy is a badass: has great leadership qualities, is smarter and stronger than he looks, has survived immeasurable trauma and pulled himself out of it, takes initiative in solving problems, seeks to better himself with no prompting from others, etc."
"C!Tommy is soft: just wants peace and safety for him and his loved ones, loves animals and flowers and has an appreciation for things most would find disposable, gives his friends hugs and holds their hands, blames himself too much, has a habit of desperately looking for guidance and purpose, is easily malleable by people he looks up to, etc."
"C!Tommy is troublesome: tends to be reckless and impulsive, gets tunnel vision and is short sighted sometimes, is prone to anger and lashing out, has hurt people in the past, sometimes ignores the reality of a situation when too scared/conflicted to accept it, tends to be annoying and test people's limits, etc."
can and do coexist, and that's why I love him so much!! He's a soft ball of yarn covered in needles, he's a loud chihuahua who'll bite you and claw up your lawn and cuddle up next to you after, he's a menace and a protector and a victim and a fool. He's all of it at once. I don't want to take away any of it, because without his strong will he wouldn't have survived, and without his soft soul he wouldn't have lived, and without his flaws his life wouldn't be meaningful, because it's the flaws that make him feel human. He's an intricate dumbass, and I love him for it <3
Yes I re-read my own fics because I wrote them for ME
Some predictions for Double Life:
Scar is going to die while filming his intro or something by walking off a cliff or big hole.
Ren and BigB are going to be the first red lifers.
Joel is going to make a trap in his base and Etho is going to "disarm" it, bringing them to red.
Bdubs and Impulse are going to be the first two to be killed by red lifers.
Jimmy (when red) is going to be jumped while exploring or gathering food and get killed, making him and Tango be the second people off the series. Probably Joel and Etho kill him.
Pearl is going to kill Scott.
Someone is going to fall off Pearls tower.
He looked up at them with a horrified gasp
"He's dying to see us."
"Well yeah, we know that. Otherwise he wouldn't be astral projecting to us or whatever it is."
He shook his head, "no- I mean- he's literally- he's dying."
These are all good points for why you should vote Lloyd but I feel it will be amiss if we do not discuss Antigone a lil bit!
Here's a quick summary of Antigone for those of you who aren't familiar (of there are any inaccuracies pls let me know):
She's the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, so this take place right after that one (which I'm sure all of you are familiar with)
Her brother's agree to share the throne by swapping each year. Brother One decides that he isn't gonna give up the throne. Brother Two starts a civil war. They kill each other in a duel (as cursed by Oedipus to do) and Antigone's Uncle is now king.
Uncle gives B1 a nice respectful burial. He drags B2's corpse out of the city and declares that anyone who tries to bury him will be killed. (This is generally considered a Dick Move)
Antigone throws some dirt on B2. Her sister snitches on her. Uncle pulls her aside and says he'll cover for her this time but not to do it again.
Antigone does it again. In broad daylight. The hairs being her in before anyone else sees. Uncle says the same thing but he Really Means It This Time. Antigone says she will die on this hill. Uncle says aight, bet. Antigone calls him a pussy.
Antigone does it again. Uncle puts her in prison and sentences her to death.
Antigone is immured. (Buried alive, they put her in a stone box and walled up the exit)
The gods refuse to answer any prayers. A seer says it's because of the whole Antigone situation. Uncle tries to fix it by burying B2 and freeing Antigone.
Antigone is found to have hanged herself
90% of the characters then all kill themselves in an epic game of grief dominoes. Uncle is left to rule depressed and alone.
As we can see Antigone had many chances to Not Die but didn't take them because of her Fatal Flaws: Pride, Stubbornness and Loyalty.
While Antigone is Doomed, it is she who knowingly Doomed herself.
Lloyd is Doomed by a prophecy outside of his control. Everyone else's actions to delay the prophecy result in it happening sooner. As is the norm. Lloyd takes no actions to hasten, slow or avoid the prophecy because he's, like, eight. Besides asking his dad to please not destroy the world, of course (His dad is unable to do this as he is losing to the curse).
Lloyd never has a choice in the matter at any stage. He has to sacrifice these things each time and get up and keep going, even when he dies.
Lloyd's Fatal Flaws are: Loyalty, Selflessness and Stubbornness
I recognize that there can be debate over how to define tragedy, like Greek tragedies hardly all followed Aristotle's definition and those were in turn different from things like Shakespearean tragedy or modern definitions of "tragic character" but I think at the very least a tragic character should have a coherent arc, quality over quantity. A bunch of UNRELATED bad things happening to a character just because a show has gone on for a really long time isn't really telling a coherent tragic story. Especially when some of the bad things happening are literally repeats of each other. Like I haven't watched Ninjago but I keep hearing about how Lloyd had to kill his father 3 times, but I think reusing a "he has to kill his father" plot point over and over again while not having him die for real just to give each season a new plot is a lot less tragic than a more coherent narrative where someone just has to kill their father once and this ties into their overall character arc.
Very valid opinion
If the earth was completely and perfectly spherical with a uniform Ocean depth how deep would that Ocean be if the earth still had the same amount of rock and water?
How do you do the cute eye shine thing?

Perfect
i was listening to this while browsing my dash and saw that gif

I think you're right that Vertin is 16.
Vertin should be around the same age as Sonetto, Mesmer Jr and Matilda as they all shared a class together (though either they have a larger range of ages within a class due to having few students or Matilda skipped a grade, which seems more likely)
I think Door is the same age as life on earth??? Or at least land? That's what his first story implies
Sputnik is at probably at least around 3 months old? She awakened at some point between Oct 1957 and Jan 1958 but IDK how long she's been in Laplace since then
The Fool is at least 250 years old, though they may be older - having been seen in the 1650s - assuming that all characters come from the 20th century.
Likewise La Source is at least 150 years old as that is when she first came to Paris (1850s)
(until v1.4 in CN)
✏️ Some notes:
- Lilya’s age in Global is “unknown,” but in CN server is 17. I am going with 17 because it makes sense for her to have an age. Most likely a translation mistake in GLB.
- Eternity’s age is said to be “more than a century,” so more than 100 years old, I’d say?
- A Knight’s age is said to be “exhibited in Medieval Times,” iirc so around that-amount-of-years-below-ago since 1999? Very uncertain, please correct me if I’m wrong.
- Soooooo I think Vertin is around 16-18?
