This post summarizes the effect in more detail than I have time to right now, so I’d check this one out: http://irrevocably-voltron.tumblr.com/post/171919729853/a-thought-on-why-average-to-just-above-averageThe basic premise is that fandoms are more productive when the product is mediocre because mediocre narratives are hotbeds of untapped potential. These types of stories present characters, plots, worlds, and ideas that never …

I’m just a random anon, but I don’t think it’s wrong to watch shows for exclusively ships- It’s just that if you do, you have to be prepared for the fact it might never become canon. Some people get super over-invested (carried away?) with how much they let it affect their own life and now a lot of the fandom’s in meltdown because of it which is horrible…
ashacrone:echodrops: It’s my solemn belief that in well-written and well-managed media this kind of thing does not happen. Ships, ship wars, and fans themselves get out of control because of poorly written canonical character interactions and poorly managed expectations on the part of producers. Although there are certainly extremists of questionable mental health levels who …
I stayed up all night answering asks, then slept all of today because I am the PICTURE of maturity and responsibility.Crap shit damn I totally messed up and now all the chores I needed to do today are not gonna get done.
Hello, did you ever end up making any post about Noragami chapter 73? Also, about are your thoughts about Hiyori in this arc, because in the last arc she barely appeared (obviously cuz of the fights) and I’m starting to worry that she’s gonna become a protagonist that’s only there to be protected (you know that thing “if you do something to her I will run the world after you”). She used to appear must more and even getting some importance, now she is just there to be Yato’s safeplace/love affair
This turned into “Some Thoughts on Hiyori” lolSo a couple people asked about my view of Hiyori’s role in the story currently and in the future, and I have a lot of feelings about this, so…First and foremost, I absolutely want to banish the notion that Hiyori is becoming somehow less important because she hasn’t …
Did ienzo ever take myde to meet tron and everyone? I think ram and myde wouldve gotten along
GUYS I GOT A VIOLET ROOM ASK, I’M SO EXCITED!! Ha ha, sorry, it’s been a long time since I got to think about TVR. I’m glad people still remember my silly story…TVR ended in a sort of strange, rebooted time loop before the beginning of KHI, so Myde and Ienzo were not able to …
I was wondering… if it would be a possibility, that Kiun is a lightning dragon because he was killed by a lightning? What if Take killed him? Kiun said he was summoned to Takemikazuchi’s so… yeah, just an idea :D
I totally derailed this ask to talk about how much I love Takemikazuchi and Kiun, like damn I cannot be responsible when these characters are involved lololI mean, it’s totally possible that Takemikazuchi threw a wild thunderstorm and fried poor Kiun to a crisp… but I’m not sure I’d go so far as to speculate …
Hi :) Was it ever explained, why was Hiyori able to enter Yato’s mind and see his memories of Sakura? Could it be, if we would assume that she is reincarnated Sakura or her descendant, that these ties (of her blood/soul) are why she was able to do it? It was such a strange and random thing and Hiyori never asked about it afterwards.
I assumed it was because of this:Hiyori’s tail isn’t really a “tail”–it’s an open link between her incorporeal and corporeal forms. In essence, it’s her soul.I assumed that when her exposed soul touched Yato, she was able to tap into his dreams. It’s sometimes said that sleep is close to death, and dreams are messages …
Hi, I just finish Home and a Half ( it awesome by the way) and the bio for Xerci. The way you describe Xerci it sounds like him and Lance are close , so I need to know do they have epic spa days together ? PS : The face that you are an English professor has me horribly paranoid about my grammar. So sorry about my grammar.
I don’t want to spoil too much, but since I think most of this pertains to stuff that would come after the story ends–yes, Lance and Xerci become very close and bond over many similarities shared between them. Although sometimes they’re almost too similar, to the point where they see through each other’s fronts and …
What is Galra hygiene like? Are the kids’ needs being met in this department?
I love fun asks like this~! Worldbuilding is my fav; maybe I should just skip plot and just write a history textbook for the Galra Empire as my fanfic instead. XDIn any case, Galra are fastidious creatures who run tight ships–uncleaniness or slovenliness is not tolerated anywhere in the Empire. As a matter of principle …

Hi! So I just had a random thought—does Keith in HAAH remember when his birthday is? Idk why this popped in my head, but I realized with the dicey memories and being raised by scientists probs weren’t big on bdays(?) it was a possibility that he forgot. Feel free to ignore if spoilers, but tbh thinking about Keith’s childhood makes me wanna cry. Especially the “all the stars” line, I feel like that’s one of those lines that’s gonna stick with me for awhile bc its so good and so heartbreaking❤️❤️
I had an answer to this written months ago and lost it before I could finish writing the answer; I’m so sorry anon!In any case, this is an interesting ask because you’re correct: Keith does not remember his actual birthday–in fact, he never knew what it was in the first place!In HaaH’s universe, the Galra …
