ppl who are like “there’s no way sokka’s art skills would improve, he’s ontologically bad at art” ummmm. dude. you realize that this is the mary sue of hobbies, right? this guy could out-westley westley. he would develop an immunity to iocane powder in less than a week because he’s just that prodigious. he became a kyoshi warrior who could best their leader in a matter of hours, and this was the first time he had ever trained in his life with an actual teacher and opponent. he mastered the sword in one day, if we’re to take piandao’s word for it (and considering his name is literally sword, he is clearly an expert). sokka looked at the rough schematics for hot air balloons after the eminent inventor in the world had spent who knows how long not able to get his idea to actually work like “uhhh…. this may sound obvious, but have you tried a lid???” he has borderline supernatural aim with a boomerang. he was dropped into a haiku battle knowing nothing about the form, and not only beat the leader of ba sing se’s premier haiku club, but also chose, completely unnecessarily, to make each verse rhyme. if he actually sat down and practiced drawing, maybe with some instruction from a trained artist, or easier beginner’s materials than ink and a brush (you’ve all seen my art, and I still cannot paint with ink and a brush), I think sokka would easily be able to produce a work on par with (if not superior to) the mona lisa by the following morning.

#sokka #suki #piandao #the mechanist #synthesis #(bc princess bride reference) #(he is sooo westley coded tho. and not just because he’s an annoying smug asshole. but that is part of it) #‘sokka cant draw’ factoid actually statistical error. sokka can do everything in the world except bend and love himself

historian: -writing about sums of money in the past-

me: alas how will i ever have context for the value of currency at that time

historian, about to immediately hit me with the wages of a skilled tradesman in that era:

#this isn't even a criticism it's genuinely very helpful #I do just love how often it pops up #“The average tradesman made this much in a month” factoid actually statistical error. Tradesman Georg

annual reminder that the meta reason for why Percy's birthday is August 18th is that mid-August is the height of the Perseids meteor shower every year. Named as such because the meteors appear to emanate from the constellation Perseus, of course named for the Greek mythological hero that Percy was named after.

#pjo #percy jackson #i love this factoid a lot but nobody talks about it ever! #his birthday is thematic for astronomy reasons!

unfortunately for jon snow, the role of "dead girl haunting the narrative" is already occupied by his mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, grandmother and step mother x2 so he's going to have to be forcibly resurrected :/

#1000s dead girls haunting the narrative factoid statistical error #georg rrm who writes and kills hundreds of martyrs per book is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted #asoiaf #jon snow #winds of winter #house stark #house targaryen #asoiaf meta #asoiaf shitpost

Okay but to be FAIR to Sam. He IS loreboy and he does do research for hours and hours on end and Dean is very capable of doing research but he is not looking at books for 17 hours straight unless he absolutely has to. But Sam will be doing that because he’s like a dog with a bone and has an insatiable appetite for learning facts and histories and acquiring knowledge and I think Dean looks at him reading for 17 hours and goes “I am not doing that” and then cooks them some bacon.

on the topic of official art, here's a fun little tidbit for you

fallout shelter online is a mobile game that features a lot of painted character art. there are a few artists in the mix, but the pictures i'm posting were painted by Jay Li. here's the ingame art, what you'd see if you installed

nick looks very smooth and glossy, conventionally handsome. the thing is, if you go to Li's artstation...

interesting, right! those first two images are in there as well, before they were changed

#fallout 4 #fo4 #nick valentine #fallout #official art #painted an older man before being hit with the Ensmoothening beam. my worst nightmare #i think these sorts of factoids are interesting. i'd like to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation

"average person spends $400 on Black Friday" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person spends $49.95 per Black Friday. Sherman Georg, who lives in his immortal mother's mansion & spends $44,999 on 850 Wiggly dolls, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

#has this been done #it's a factoid! you can't escape boy! #black friday #hatchetfield #starkid #sherman young #sheila young #wiggog y'rath

Thinking many many thoughts about how Jean was Riko's partner for a YEAR and was still rooming with Goon #3. Because that was how unwilling Riko was to let go of Kevin. And how that implies that Jean was placed as his partner both because of the practicality of Kevin being gone AND as a punishment for letting him go in the first place. Being partners with Jean could actually slow Riko down depending on how often he's hurt (because I don't think Riko was all that exempt from the rules to the point where his partner's performance would completely not matter) and he was still placed there. Riko was just THAT angry at him over Kevin's escape. And all the while he was keeping Kevin's side of room like an altar, even back when he didn't even think Kevin could PLAY, because of an injury he caused.

#'average aftg fan thinks about Kevins side of the room once a day.' factoid. headboard georg (me) is thinking on it at all times #everything about the perfect court makes me so absolutely insane i am chewing on glass #do you guys think that Jean would still have distracted Riko if he knew Kevin was going to leave? #moreover. do you guys REALLY think Jean didn't at least suspect he was leaving #because tsc is probably going to prove me wrong but I think he would and he knew #anyway. i said it before and i will say it again #the kevriko toxic teen girl homoerotic friendship rizz is unparalleled #riko moriyama the man that you are. they could never make me think you're uninteresting I want to use your brain as a saltshaker #I don't think Riko (or Tetsuji for that matter since he prompted it) ever actually realised what Kevin's injury MEANT. like for real #it wasn't putting him in his place it was destroying the very idea of the perfect court. it was DONE #if Kevin hadn't recovered. if the plot of AFTG hadn't happened. how long would it have taken for Riko to realize #that HE killed the very thing he built his life around and was just dragging it behind him like a corpse (Jean) #kevin day #riko moriyama #jean moreau #the sunshine court #all for the game #the perfect court

i did a thing

MDZS (novel) :

72 named characters

50 dead (including wen ning, song lan, and wei wuxian)

conclusion: 69% chance of death, with a 4.2% chance of conscious return to life.

MDZS (any and all media) :

77 named characters

55 dead

conclusion: 72% chance of death anywhere in the mdzs-verse.

TGCF:

44 named characters (clones and alter egoes not counted)

16 permanently dead

14 ghosts

16 gods

conclusion: 36% chance of permanent death, 32% chance of dying and becoming a ghost, 36% chance in ascending.

here's the percentage, but skewed with the ghost deaths: 73%

SVSSS (svsss only, no pidw):

41 named characters

12 dead, + 1 linguang-jun missing +1 shen yuan +1 shang qinghua

conclusion: 37% chance of death/missing, 4.9% chance of returning via transmigration

conclusion of conclusions: great mxtx, why did you have to do that to mdzs????? they're all dead......

#“average tgcf character dies 3 times a day” factoid is just statistical error. average tgcf character dies 0 times per day. hua cheng #who lives in the cave of 1000 gods & dies over 10000 times over the story #is an outlier adn should not be counted. #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #cql #the untamed #scum villian self saving system #svsss #not a poll #hua cheng #wen ning #song lan #wei wuxian #shen yuan #shang qinghua

Sorry for the watermark, but I just had to snip this absolutely adorable moment from "Into the Light" from the 2019 Tokaigi concert. To me, it almost looked like a private little dance between them; like Marina did a little curtesy, and then Pearl a little bow, like she was inviting Marina to dance . . . but then, given the conversation that followed the song, I think it was actually a little pantomime of how Marina tried to introduce herself to Pearl when they first met (when she didn't speak Inkling yet), and Pearl invited Marina to come with her so she could show Marina Inkling culture (despite not speaking Octarian herself)!

Well, regardless of what that adorable little bit was, things certainly did get kinda intimate for a moment there 🩵🩷

#splatoon #off the hook #pearlina #pearl houzuki #marina ida #video #also the fact that ''Into the Light'' makes Pearl remember how they first met is so interesting #considering that canonically Pearl writes the lyrics for all of their songs #while Marina composes the music / mixes the songs together #the Japanese name of the song is ''Friend from Faraway'' as well so honestly #Pearl wrote that song *about Marina* #it's the Pearlina song written by Pearl herself :') #(the factoid about Pearl writing all their songs comes from the Marina interview in Splatune vol. 2 where Marina says #that she leaves all the lyrics to Pearl and just does the music / composition parts after Pearl gives her the lyrics for them to record)
