nothing more humbling than seeing the monster hunter popularity picks and seeing where one of your favorites are placed by the general fanbase
like Zinogre ok #1
ice is cold, sugar is sweet, the sky is blue. The lighting wolf always makes his way to the top of the popularity polls
nothing new
Lagiacrus is #3
alright alright alright. Love to see the love. People warming up to and appreciate the 3rd gen. Maybe bring water combat? yeah? it's been 15 years surely they've improve it by now
Brachydios in 17th???
like oh! oh that stung a bit but hey you're memorable, you're iconic, you're a flagship. this isn't gonna effect anything. You'll come back in another game and everyone will love you
Dalamadur in 29th
...well you ARE like a bit of a roadblock when it comes to skill. So there are more people have negative memories of you than positive
b-but you know what? it's fine! still in top 50s baby
Ahtal-Ka in 34th
I understand bugs are not everyone's thing and having a relatively small praying mantis as the final boss is a bit of a let down.
But COME ON DUDE! She goes all spiderman on you and start webslinging the whole arena at you. She even brings a mech to the fight!
Like that's gotta be worth at least 10 more point bro. Come on now
Malzeno is 38th???
The vampire dragon? From the most recent game?? That I've never heard anyone say a negative thing about him???
really?...okay? I guess I assumed he'd be noticeable more higher but 38th it is
Shara Ishvalda in 80th
nah that one hurteded personally. Fuck all y'all
the hindu tree demon dragon with air bending powers is in 80th? Do y'all not know what "cool" is??? Like the atmosphere, the second phase, the theme music was all on point my guy. on poinT
none of y'all need to be voting 'cause ya not thinking clearly
Gammoth in 85th
...I don't got any excuses for this one bro. I just think elephants are cool and monster hunter should have an elephant boss fight
Like just put her in the next monster hunter game ok and I promise she'll have better fight bro. How? Don't ask 'bout no damn details, her boss fight will just be better alright? Trust bro. Trust

Fandometrics In Depth: Loki
The God of Mischief may be full of tricks, but this post sure isn’t. Read on for some spoiler-free facts and data about Tumblr’s favorite son of Odin and Frigga, and his solo entry in the MCU.
After 10 years and six appearances in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, it’s finally Loki’s time to shine and, maybe, finally get that redemption arc we’ve all been dreaming of. Disney+’s latest addition to their roster of Marvel-centric TV shows is centered around Loki in the events following his brief appearance in Avengers: Endgame. We won’t share too much, but we’re introduced to an entire new cast of characters, including the mysterious and devout agents of the Time Variance Authority, and Loki is forced to reconcile with himself more than once.
This time around, we analyzed engagement data around tags used between the first Loki trailer’s drop on December 10, 2020, and the latest episode of the show (as of writing this post), which aired on July 7, 2021, to calculate its most talked about characters, actors and actresses, and ships.
Those who have strayed from the Sacred Timeline
While many of these characters still remain a mystery, it hasn’t stopped you from loving them immensely and talking about them constantly. Because the MCU still hasn’t changed its habit of naming films and TV shows after the main character, we’re using a strict real name policy for this list. Below are the most tagged characters in Loki, ranked:
Loki Laufeyson | 50.14%
Mobius M. Mobius | 23.82%
Sylvie | 13.4%
Kid Loki | 3.37%
Classic Loki | 2.6%
Alligator Loki | 2.6%
President Loki | 1.92%
Ravonna Renslayer | 0.81%
Boastful Loki | 0.7%
Hunter B-15 | 0.64%
The ones causing chaos behind the scenes
In a twist of fate that surprises exactly no one, Tom Hiddleston remains Tumblr’s favorite member of TH Squared (in this timeline, at least), and tops our list of the most talked about actors in Loki. A few actors also made their MCU debut in the latest Marvel TV entry and quickly rose in the ranks of your hearts. Check out the full breakdown below:
Tom Hiddleston | 76.74%
Owen Wilson | 15.5%
Sophia Di Martino | 5.35%
Wunmi Mosaku | 1.23%
Richard E. Grant | 1.18%
Ships passing in the endless void of space
This cast may be small, but their love for each other is infinite. Below are the top three ships from Loki, ranked:
Lokius (Loki Laufeyson x Mobius M. Mobius) | 88.45%
Sylki (Loki Laufeyson x Sylvie) | 10.74%
Sylkius (Loki Laufeyson x Sylvie x Mobius M. Mobius) | 0.81%
For all time. Always.
Loki may have been the shortest Disney+ Marvel TV show thus far, but now that the season’s over, we’ve got some blogs to keep the momentum going. Beware, they do contain some spoilers:
Daily Loki (@dailyloki) compiles the best Loki-related memes, GIF sets, and fanart Tumblr has to offer, all in one convenient blog
RJ Pierce (@lousysharkbutt) draws fanart of your favorite puny god and his MCU buddies
Lego Loki (@lego-loki) for Lego reenactments of iconic Marvel moments
Follow the #Loki tag for GIFs, fanart, memes, and more! Don’t forget you can filter any tag from your dashboard for a spoiler-free experience. If you need a reminder for how to do that, check out this handy Tips page.

Destiel Fic Starter Pack
Never watched Supernatural but wondering what all the hype is about? Then this is the post for you. If you have been on tumblr for some time or just from November 5, 2020, you may have seen a gif set or two or a hundred with destiel aka Dean and Castiel from Supernatural. @fandom even made a Destiel Is Canon post with short overview of basic facts! Are you interested but have no idea where to start? We know, we know. Life is hectic, 2020 is taxing and Supernatural has too many episodes to watch. 15 seasons and 327 episodes to be precise but who’s counting? Say no more, we got your back, fam! You don’t need to have ever watched SPN to enjoy the fics on this rec post.
For fans who have never watched SPN, some basic facts - 1x01 starts with Dean Winchester (26 yo) professional monster hunter, picking up his brother Sam (22 yo), student at Stanford, and going on a one off monster hunt. For the next 3 seasons they travel around the country in their black Impala 67 hunting monsters, saving people. Castiel, Angel of the Lord and the multidimensional wavelength of celestial intent, arrives in 4x01.The rest is shipping history. Check this 36 min YT video, The Story of Dean and Castiel by deansbansee with all the best destiel scenes from S4-15. And now, fics!
All title links go to our fully tagged reviews.
1. If you want to read fics that are set in Supernatural universe but are not canon specific, your best bet is pre season 4 (our tag) and solo hunter Dean (our tag) fics where young Dean meets Castiel differently from the show, and fics that are very loosely tied to a specific season. And, if you’ll decide to watch the show later, you still won’t be spoiled!

2. If you don’t want to bother with Supernatural canon at all, then you are still in for a treat. With 92,500 fics (December 12, 2020) and counting, destiel is currently the biggest ship on AO3. Destiel fics cover a lot of popular tropes and kinks but some are more popular than others among destiel fans. Angst, miscommunication, exploration of Dean’s low self esteem, Cas’s rusty people skills and general otherness are a staple of AU fics. But also exploration of one’s sexuality - internalized homophobia, coming out, bisexuality and asexuality are common themes.
