I Think Viktor Should Be A Tumblr Sexyman

Grima Propaganda! (Because I deeply appreciate this messed up villain)

The Fell Dragon Grima, the dark deity bent on eradicating humanity, the bringer of the zombie apocalypse, and a lot of fans’ blorbo.

When you first meet them in Fire Emblem Awakening, they’re the Big Bad villain with little actual characterization, but that didn’t stop the fandom from loving them, and they got more lore and characterization in DLC and other games in the franchise. There is soo much Murder Dragon Romanticization in the fandom and it seems to be running on sheer swag and charisma. It’s also true that canon is enough of a mess that you could make the case they’re much less evil than it seems… or maybe that’s the fandom talking. There are Tumblr folk who celebrate “Grimas” every year. Grima should absolutely be a Tumblr Sexyman: he’s the villain certain people love, dark and mysterious and eldritch and full of issues and trauma. The fan fiction this character has spawned includes some of my favorite fanworks.

Their (unwilling?) vessel is none other than the amnesiac player character Robin, who was born into an evil cult for the purpose of bringing their dark god back to life. Robin and Grima are so interconnected that the death of one means the death of the other (a great source of angst, at least until Robin is revived by the power of friendship). A lot of people headcanon that Grima and Robin are actually the same entity, and the varying interpretations of Grima and Robin and how they’re connected are such fun.

Grima is also:

-an artificial being whose creator tried to kill them

-a dragon monstrosity with six eyes and six wings that’s so huge the final battle is held on top of their back

-referred to with mostly he/him but kinda inconsistent pronouns in game, probably some genderfuckery here

-I headcanon Grima is Above Gender

-parent to a Very Traumatized child (or several)

-a GIGANTIC effing DRAGON with six eyes and six wings

-I keep wanting to add more but I can’t let my brain be consumed any further

Losers Bracket Round 2: Match 3

Venti/Lord Barbatos(Genshin Impact) vs Grima(Fire Emblem Awakening)

Do Bug Zappers Work? Yeah—About As Well As Any Other Indiscriminate Wildlife Slaughter.

Bug zappers kill bugs by the thousands. But there’s a problem: They kill the wrong bugs. They are ineffective against mosquitoes and other biting flies, and their otherwise indiscriminate killing can disrupt pollination and generally throw the environment out of balance. Plus, the force of their electrocution can spew a mist of disease-ridden bug parts out into the air. All of the mosquito experts we spoke with and every relevant university extension office we could find unanimously condemned bug zappers. To keep an area free of bugs or to prevent yourself from getting bitten, there are much better alternatives.

Do Bug Zappers Work? Yeah—About As Well As Any Other Indiscriminate Wildlife Slaughter.

Bug zappers kill the wrong bugs—to control bugs without a spray repellent, use a spatial repellent or a fan instead.

hi please. Vote Hrimm. Hrimm is the sum of basically all the boss lore in Hallownest. Hornet’s and Grimm’s and Zote’s and God Tamer’s and Quirrel’s stories and the stories of every other boss and a few non-bosses. Pure Vessel is just Pure Vessel. Yes, they are tragic. Yes, they are my fave too. But this is pure vessel vs all the rest of Hallownest. Vote Hrimm and friends, vote for your obscure HK blorbo.

THE FINAL MATCH

Yes, you heard me right. After some preparation, Hrimm has finally achieved their final form and THIS WEEK they will fight the Pure Vessel itself. This is the poll that will determine the true winner, so cast your vote wisely. Propaganda for both sides and people without context are free to vote, give it your all.

Now, we present to you:

The Massive Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful Radiant Broken False Fluke Mantis Oblobble Hive Parent Tamer Collector Watcher Traitor Kin Crystal and Soul Paint-Nailmaster Sage Prince Champion Hogri- tiso- marmuute- xero- kosk HuGalienorb, the Great Mind (+ friends)

Arya is so cool vote for her she reminds me of my own OC (though more fantasy and more traumatized XD)

Her design is great, her backstory is great, and I want to give her a hug (if she would like one).

Bracket C Round 1

Poll 13

Angharad Brosca (@rlainarin) vs. Arya Velorë (@panek-at-the-disco)

153. Angharad Brosca (@rlainarin)

He/Him

tldr: he's gay ginger dwarf Jesus

5'0 twunk with long curly auburn hair, a short beard, and big dark brown doe eyes

154. Arya Velorë (@panek-at-the-disco)

she/her

Arya should win because she is a very kind and caring alchemist who is starting to learn magic from one of her friends. She was originally a human from a city that was stuck in a time-loop repeating the same day for nearly three years before escaping to try and find someone to help. When she returned to help free her home, her soul was split and half of her was sent back in time to become one of the reoccurring minor antagonists while the other half remained in the present and placed herself into her new clockwork body so she is strong enough that she won't be hurt like that again. Everyone who loves cute blorbos with ~trauma~ who will do anything for her friends (including betraying them) will love her <3

She has a clockwork body made out of brass and ivory with the cylinder of a music box in the center of her body. She has long red hair and purple and green eyes. Her clothes are technically part of her body, but she wears a long cloak with fluff lining the end of it and several pockets sewn into the inside of it. In combat she carries a clockwork staff made of a music box cylinder, a small pair of wings, and an amethyst to power it.

So these are the blorbos that got me excited about them being a System, and they are and no one treats them badly for it or is weird about it in the source media, this makes my heart happy

Guess That Ship Tournament: S4 Round 3

steal your heart

Master thief finds himself fooling a detective to get away with his treasure, falls in love. Detective doesn't know how to trust and is too depressed to get away on a whim. Somehow, they end up in a life-or-death situation, learn to trust each other, confess their love and... part ways in the middle of the night, one left alone behind by the other after a promise of a future together.

Contrasting Colors

Two brothers; Marigold and Hydrangea.

They share a body. It is unclear when or how this happened; it just *is*. At first, they aren't even aware of each other's existence. Eventually, they start talking to each other by passing along messages through another character. Marigold expresses his distain for humans, and Hydrangea expresses his desire to trust and form bonds with them. Marigold claims that he wants to take their body for himself, and Hydrangea wants to be Marigold's friend and brother. Eventually, they do make amends and come to care for one another.

Okay, for anyone interested in the science here, I have a few clarifications.

First, early fossils of land plants date to around 433 million years ago, during the Silurian period, not to the Precambrian (defined as before around 540 million years ago).

Second, Tiktaalik was not the first land animal; it is known for being the earliest/one of the earliest vertebrates to walk on land, but arthropods got there first. Early centipedes and millipedes ventured out of the water relatively soon after the plants (around 425 million years ago, also during the Silurian), while Tiktaalik evolved around 375 million years ago, during the Devonian period.

can you imagine plants on land in the precambrian like aw fuck yeah fish cant even eat us anymore this owns and then tictilak shows up

Vote Lucina my blorbo ❤️❤️❤️

Round 1

Tumblr people, can I ask something weird? Can I ask you to vote in a popular tournament poll…. Not on this hellsite? 🥺👉👈

Mascot Madness - SUNY

SUNY Mascot Madness is the battle to decide New York's favorite college mascot.

My school’s mascot is Oakie the Acorn, and they’re probably the Tumblr-est mascot you could think of.

I mean, they’re an acorn for goodness’ sake, they’re officially non-binary, and they’re all about sustainability. The school they represent is also very tumblr- SUNY ESF is a school dedicated to saving the Earth, and its student culture makes it a place where the genders are queer and the neuros are divergent :) People just stop to stare at a weird mushroom or interesting insect all the time here, and if someone spots them, instead of ridicule, you’ll probably have two people staring.

In conclusion, vote for Oakie!

Normally I don’t approve of “reblog if you’re not an asshole” type posts because they pressure people and make them feel like if they don’t reblog, people will think they’re bigoted. But this… this is pretty great. I would like to show OP’s dad that homophobia is not cool and not the majority opinion :)

EDIT: I didn’t realize when I shared this that it’s from 2012… lol…. OP I hope you’re doing well and your dad has changed his mind.

Reblog if you're not homophobic

Every url that reblog’s will be written in a book and shown to my homophobic dad.
