when a character is pessimist but usually nice to others but then they meet someone whos positive and friendly and this person becomes way more nicer with this positive sunshine and they are like sunshine baby and protective sunshine of baby then smth happens and the sunshine becomes broody and the pessimist becomes all goofy and silly then at the end they become a bit of each other :)
omg this is the LITERAL best. likee i cannot even, it's just, so joyful, love in it's purest form; i love you and i never thought i would have something like this, but you make my days brighter and even when it gets hard and cruel, I know I'll always have your hand to hold on to. it's like, i'd always thought i'd live life cold and lonely, but now i carry a part of you everywhere, and I am never truly alone. it's like, you make me happy and that's wonderful, but i make you happy too and that's better. it's just hands reaching out and comforting smiles and taking care of each other and lazy afternoons spent together and like I know shit like that is fictional but oh my god the joy and longing it brings me is ETERNALLL.
Lockwood and Co. How do I begin to talk about this insane universe that has literally changed my life in so many ways in such a small amount of time?
I think it was probably January 27th that I actually got the notification for the trailer for the show from Netflix’s Youtube. I don’t know exactly what it was that made me interested in the trailer in the first place and set it apart from the hundreds of trailers that netflix has posted that I’ve ignored, but there was just something about it that made me think “oh, this looks interesting, let me take a look at the trailer.” Thank god I did.
If I were to go back in time to that version of linnie and tell them that their life was about to be changed, I think they would’ve laughed. At that period of time I’d had a 2 year long hyperfixation on the grishaverse and I couldn’t think of anything that would’ve possibly broken me out of that long ass period of chaos. And then I watched Lockwood and Co and I immediately fell in love with an entirely new world.
Lockwood and co means so much to me for so many reasons. One of them is that I’ve never seen myself more reflected in a character than I see myself in Lucy Carlyle- hence the name Linnie. I didn’t even realize it until Aaron ( @queer-and-nerdy ) pointed it out (after I pointed out how much of a George kinnie they are) and then everything made sense in a way? Like Lucy Carlyle is the truest form of a comfort character for me because we are basically the same person and I never realized how special a character could be until I met Lucy Joan Carlyle.
Another reason why I love this universe so much is because I love found family, and I love the found family that Jonathan Stroud has written. The Iron Trio will always be so special to me because of how often it is shown and how deeply it is known that they love each other unconditionally, Even George and Lucy, who have their differences when they first meet, grow to love each other in their own way and I genuinely believe that the family found within the Iron Trio is one of the most beautiful relationships I’ve ever read or seen portrayed on screen.
I also just truly love the worldbuilding. The world that Jonathan Stroud has created has such an amazing homely feel to it that I will never tire of. I love literally everything about it- the lore, the execution, the way that he was able to make ghosts even more terrifying for such a young audience.
Lastly, I love the fandom. I’ve talked a little bit about how much a kind and welcoming fan space like the l&co tumblr means to me and how I have had rocky situations in a fandom in the past, but I truly cannot even begin to talk about how much this online space has truly changed me in so many ways. I feel like I can have open, honest, and constructive opinions on here without being scared to speak my mind or fear the repercussions of not being 100% happy all the time. This fandom is the most accepting and loving fandom I have ever known, and I’d like to tag a few of the people who have made this place so loving and enjoyable to partake in.

All in all, I love this show and these books and this world more than I could ever possibly express. Happy 10th Birthday to The Screaming Staircase, and a very Happy Lockwood & Co Day to all whom I have the honor of celebrating with. I love you all very dearly, and remember: “just reckless enough”.
Set my soul on fire. You are my everything. You are the whole sky. She was a storm. Be brave. I am home. She jumped into his arms. She shone. His eyes closed as he turned his face to the sun. The tears fell. I do not belong to you. You lost. Your words mean nothing. I am the monster you made me.
Ok so I'ma be fr here y'all need to watch"my adventures with super man" bc oml that show is the most adorable wholesome thing I've seen in forever and like Clark Kent character design is PEAK 😩🔥

starman : request a list of hcs about a platonic/romantic pairing (any of the fandoms mentioned in the list). again, one request per ask.
space oddity : tell me a little bit about yourself, your preferred fandom and gender, and i'll ship you with a character.
radio ga ga [moots only] : send me this ask and i'll answer it with a song i think suits your vibes best!
rules: one request per ask, nothing nsfw. i will be a little slow in answering the asks, so please be patient!
fandoms: marauders, nimona, the song of achilles, dead poets society, crime and punishment, hamlet, dancing on your heartstrings, a shade darker than red.
the hairy ball theorem (also known as the hedgehog theorem) is a theorem in algebraic topology which states that a continuous vector field tangent to a sphere must have at least one (1) point where the vector is zero, i.e, there is no non-vanishing continuous tangent vector field on an even dimension n-sphere. so either the vector field fully vanishes (like a bald spot) or it fails to be tangential (like on a coconut!)
the image to the left shows how the vector does not remain tangential.
to further explain this a little bit, for a regular sphere (a 2-sphere), if I have a continuous function F, that assigns a vector (V) to every point p on the sphere, such that F(p) is always tangent to the sphere, then there must be at least one point where F(p) = 0.
in our physical reality, an easy example would be our own hair. now of course our skull is not exactly a sphere and hence the results are not fully ideal, but its close enough. we usually end up with a whirl or cowlick on our head (as seen in the image below)
so, if you have a ball covered in hair (a hairy ball, that is) and you try to comb in a way that all of the hair lies flat along the surface, you will not succeed.
a cool consequence of this: the velocity of the wind along the surface of the earth is a vector field, and according to the hairy ball theorem, there is atleast one point on earth where the wind is not blowing and that there is one active (possibly small) cyclone around it!!
Take this quiz, https://uquiz.com/zEllfl then retake it as the first character that comes to mind!
