i wonder what evolutionary niche clowns evolved to fill

[kymstre]

Apex predator.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

No im pretty sure they started as a prey animal, that’s why their pupils are rectangles

[ailithnight]

Short answer: They are physiological designed to be the perfect children’s entertainer.

Long Answer: They didn’t really evolve at all. They were selectively bred alongside mimes, which share a common ancestor, the Jester. Jesters are, of course, the domesticated descendant of Bards, from which the entire Entertainer genus evolved. 

Clowns were bred to be appealing to small children who would (theoretically) be more interested in the clown’s bright colors, silly antics, and slapstick comedy. 

Mimes were bred to be more appealing to older audiences, for whom color and simplicity are as likely to be disinteresting as fascinating.

i have cancer, and i need help.

hi! my name is Kichona. i’m 25, and a mother to an adorable 2 year old. early february 2019, i was told the cancer i was born with (non hodgkin’s lymphoma) is spreading. not rapidly, but not at a snails pace, either. i have a tumor that tends to swell the most when i don’t need it to, it’s very painful and prevents me from working in the industry i work in (warehousing). my lymph nodes fill with fluid and it makes it hard to breath, eat and enjoy time with my son. i’ve been taking medication steadily that helps with the lymph pain & swelling, and the swelling of my arm. i have 2 to 3 chemotherapy treatments left and 2 radiation therapy treatments to go. getting childcare while i’m sick and bedridden hasn’t been easy (not easy as in i have none.) they’ve discovered 2 lumps in my breast that they’re hoping are just dense breast tissue, and i could possibly be facing ovarian cancer due to my family history (my mother had both breast and ovarian cancer)

in may of 2019 my physically & mentally abusive (soon to be ex) husband began an affair with a young lady that won’t quit harassing me. he has since moved in with her. that means i have no means of transportation anymore, being that my car was flooded during hurricane irma.

i was nearly to goal with my gofundme. i received an email from gofundme stating i could begin using a 0% platform fee. meaning they’d reduce the cost of my fundraiser being up. i then increased the fundraiser to try to gain back the donations i’ve recurved over the years that gofundme has taken.

the last post i made for this, is getting “stale” i guess, and i can’t seem to garner anymore attention for it so i’m making this one in hopes that it will. i need donations for my medication, 2 treatments of radiation, 2-3 treatments of chemotherapy, childcare, maybe a (used?) vehicle if possible, rent (we’ve been close to eviction since my stb ex husband moved out. he was the primary breadwinner.) food and many other things.

i am in the process of trying to get help with all of these things but in the meantime, please signal boost this. i’d really REALLY appreciate this.

(photo attached is my neck from my ex husband strangling me after i miscarried our child 6/7/19)

thank you. this means so much to me, to my son & i.

Bakugou watches SPOP (aka pure self indulgence)

He doesn’t usually pick up shows to watch, but he hears a lof of stuff about the new She Ra so one night when he can’t sleep he clicks it on.

And is instantly super emotionally invested.

Like, emotionally invested enough that most of Catra’s scenes send him breaking down into tears.

And like after that he follows it avidly. He loves the characters, he loves the animation, he loves the ideas, and he both loves and hates Catra and really wants her to stop making him cry every season he has a reputation and Shouji is on his floor.

Scorpia is his favorite though, for obvious reasons.

(and he totally writes fanfiction for it)

Kwami and Miraculous Ideas Part 1

Because Feast came out and there are apparently more miraculouses (you’d think he’d touch more on this but no)

-

Swan Miraculous

Miraculous: Tiara

Miraculous Power: Swan Song. Very powerful. The wielder is brought into a frenzy where they are immune to any harm and attack with pure raw strength (that’s been increased) and it gives a boost to speed. It’s usually strong enough to end a battle, hence Swan Song.

Weapon: “A true swan is not afraid of getting their hands and feet dirty, however it is also best to always bring a sword to a fist fight just incase.” It’s a fencing sword.

Kwami: Honkk

Kwami Personality: Honkk is a fucking bastard lol. She’s pompous and vain but also super temperamental and one wrong word can set her off and suddenly she’s cursing you out in between loud honks and pecking the shit out of you. 

Wielders: Are expected to be stronger and more graceful than they are beautiful. They also have to be unafraid of getting their hands dirty and they have to be able to put up with Honkk’s shit or they will fall flat. Also, having some competence in ballet would be nice because Honkk found out about ballet and latched onto that one thing so now all the costumes have some semblance of ballet in them no matter what and Honkk will gripe at you to learn ballet. It’s especially funny because she’s a brawler kwami.

-

Spider Miraculous

Miraculous: Arm band.

Miraculous Power: Fly Trap. An unbreakable web net will shoot out of the knuckles and be thrown at whoever the wielder wants it throw at.

Weapon: The official weapons are platinum knuckles with spikes on them, but if a wielder finds 4 mechanical legs that will sprout out from the back of the their costume and some web shooters, maybe a gun that can shoot poison or melt things, then they should just appreciate it and not bring it up with their local guardian. 

Kwami: Webb

Kwami Personality: Webb is a real trickster. They will latch on (sometimes literally) to people and claim them as basically their’s even if they aren’t their chosen and will do nice things for them like making things for them. If they decide they don’t like them they will play tricks or sometimes bite them. By the way they do not in fact have people they are neutral about. They will look at strangers across the street and proclaim if they like or hate them. Webb also is to smart for their own good and will get into anything you put them near. 

Wielders: Wielders are expected to be creative and smart. They are also expected to not use Fly Trap immediately in a fight and Webb will get onto them about that (there will be biting).

The Wolf Bride AU

Eiko Kirishima is a hunter, the best in her town, she’d never been good at all the traditional feminine things she was expected to do, and instead took after her father like a fish to water. She muscular and tall (6′3) and has scars along with her tanned skin and freckles, and has long spikey and bushy hair kept partly in a pony and partly let loose, bright red eyes and sharp teeth

Because of some nasty rumors about her feelings to the same sex (the most basic ones are true, however they get worse and less true with each rumor), she stays by herself in the woods alone. She hunts for her food and makes sure to not waste the animal, she builds furniture and carves wood for fun, trains, living a very monotonous and lonely life

One day she goes out hunting and finds an injured wolf. It's big, a not white but almost blonde, which is strange but she doesn't question it, and it snarls at her as she comes close. Eiko is sappy, and kind, so instead of taking advantage of a meal that would probably last her for weeks she frees the wolf; the wolf tries to run away or kill her (Eiko can't tell) but instead ends up passing out. Eiko's heart breaks and so she slugs the wolf over her shoulders (it's heavy but, not as heavy as Eiko expected, and also Eiko is a fucking brick wall) and takes her (as she realizes) back to her home so she can nurse her back to health

The wolf and Eiko have a tentative relationship for a while, and Eiko doesn't hunt as much so that she can take care of the wolf. The wolf is also surprisingly clingy once she warms up to Eiko, wanting to find her when she does go hunting until Eiko let’s the mostly healed wolf hunt with her. But, once the seasons change (winter into spring), Eiko let's her go back into the wilf

She starts back her usual routines and for a few weeks everything is normal, until she comes home one day and her mess of a house is now perfectly clean and not only that but there is a hot meal waiting for her and if she's not mistaken more meat left in her stores than usual. Eiko is freaked out, but seeing as this is a nice thing that happened she decides she'll just pass it off as a fluke. Except the next day there is the start of a garden and along with his hot meal is a hot bath that stays hot for far to long

This routine becomes her new routine (though there are things added like Ei keeps seeing unfinished blankets around that get finished and added to her bed, the garden blossoms, etc), but one day she can't take it anymore so she decides to make it look like she leaves her house but circles back around, only to see the wolf returning to her house and Eiko is confused so she just walks in only to see A REALLY HOT GIRL STANDING AND HANGING THE SKIN OF THE WOLF HOLY FUUUUUU-

Turns out that the woman's name is Bakugou Katsuki, and she can shed her wolf skin to take on a human form, though she only started doing it to repay Eiko for saving her life. Eiko is really uncomfortable with the idea of someone fixing her life for him, and that if anything her spouse should be the one to help her out like this

Katsuki takes it like this, "OH?! So you think I'm not good enough?! Well then just you watch you shitty haired asshat! I'll be the best wife you could have!"

This is not what Eiko wanted but now she has wolfskin wife who takes her job very seriously, wanting to sleep together in the nest she's been building ("Your nest was so shitty before, I was trying to fix it"), cooking for her, sometimes hunting with her in her wolfskin (when she isn’t busy), tending to the garden, and strangely giving emotional support? Telling Eiko when she needs to stop being self-deprecating and telling her that she's great, and making awkward attempts to comfort her even if it’s clear that it’s not her area of expertise

The Eiko realizes she’s fallen in love with the wolf, and that the wolf has been in love with her since she saved her

Bridgette in the Show

So everybody loves to plop Felix down into the show, but nobody ever thinks about putting in Bridgette, I get it she looks a lot like Marinette and they have similar personalities but guys there is potential! (okay and I’m saying this as someone who did not like Bridgette in the PV, plot twist I also didn’t like Felix sooo growth)

-Bridgette Chen is also a model, an up-and-coming one at that (I’ve had this headcanon for so long guys, I just loved the idea that she wasn’t a designer but instead a model, I mean in the PV we even see her posing with an umbrella on the street like it’s an amateur shoot)

-She’s from new money, her parents being famous in the cooking/bakery scene on her father’s side but big in the jewelry and cosmetics scene on her mother’s, and one day she’s chosen to model with Adrien

-They’re fast friends, and Adrien of course says that she would get along well with his friend Marinette

-For Bridgette, she is infatuated with this sweetheart just like she was with Felix in the PV

-For Bridgette’s personality, she is very nice, excitable, trusting, and naïve; she is actually too trusting as she can let herself be taken advantage of and mixed with her naivety it can be really bad

-Well she actually mentions that she will be going to Francoise-Dupont soon so she can meet all his friends

-Alya sees the shoot and immediately calls Marinette about the fact that she was in a shoot with Adrien, she only realizes when she actually reads it that it was Bridgette

-Bridgette joins their school and is instantly popular with everyone or at least most everyone...

-Marinette’s been burned before, but she tries anyway to be as nice as possible to Bridgette and be a friend; she doesn’t like however that Bridgette seems to be replacing her even more than Lila. Bridgette is genuine, so genuine, oh you couldn’t get this girl to lie good even if you said it would save your life she just has everything on her face at all times. She also makes promises that Lila gave a reality, she can actually get you the meeting with producer, she can actually get you the high end make up or talk with fancy manga artist; and what’s worse is that Bridgette believes Lila and her lies, so when Lila asks if she can say that it wasn’t Bridgette who got them all to a fancy yacht party, she agrees. The girl is a fool and a half.

-Marinette also doesn’t like that she is making way more progress in the love department with Adrien than she or maybe even Kagami is. Because Bridgette is so easy to love, she’s fun, she’s kind, she’s caring, she’s beautiful, and she goes out of her way to try her hardest with people

-Marinette just can’t help but feels that Bridgette is replacing her, everyone keeps saying that her and Marinette are so similar and Bridgette is so nice and sometimes Marinette thinks that maybe she is the one who should be the hero, the one who should be the class president, the one who should be the best friend and with Adrien and no one would care if Marinette disappeared because she’s not good enough

-This makes Bridgette a rival in all aspects for Marinette, and a genuine threat without being an unlikable character 

-And her character flaws are good, she’s naïve, she craves affection so desperately that she’ll give whatever for people, she’s impulsive and doesn’t always think her actions or words through, she wishes to make people happy no matter what, she’s an open book, she’s a total pacifist who doesn’t want people to fight no matter what, she’s an enabler, and she has tunnel vision with most things 

-She’s a lot like Adrien, to the point where it could make Marinette not love Adrien as much because he is so much like Bridgette

-Chloe and Sabrina as a rule don’t like any girl who’s in competition with Chloe

-Lila however both hates and loves Bridgette

-On one hand she’s a rival for Adrien’s love, Adrien her ticket to everything she’s ever dreamed of, Adrien who is hers as a rule because she’s fought so hard for him and she never gives up anything she wants, Adrien who Bridgette clings to and stops from hanging out with Lila and how dare she! She should be Adrien’s top modeling partner not some Marinette look-a-like

-Oh and she’s more popular than Lila with the class to! Bridgette is everything she wants to be-the saintly girl, the heroic angel of the class, the girl with connections-but that leads her to why she loves Bridgette as well

-Bridgette can get her whatever she wants: A meeting with Clara Nightingale? Done! A meeting with an artist and Bridgette pays for the artist to paint her? Done! All the meetings she could ask for and all the opportunities. She doesn’t ask to meet anyone she’s mentioned before in her lies because Bridgette is loose lipped enough to let anything slide. Just because Chloe, Marinette, and Adrien don’t use their connections to expose her doesn’t mean Bridgette will do it on accident.

-But, if she asks Bridgette to say that the charity for Prince Ali was because of her than Bridgette will do it, because Bridgette trusts Lila and sometimes Lila twists the words just so in all the right places to make Bridgette think “oh yeah! this was all because of lila and not me!”

-Bridgette is so gullible and kind friendship wanting that she’s so easy to manipulate and it’s music to Lila’s ears.

-And if Lila uses Bridgette to turn the class away from Marinette-because of course she hasn’t given that ambition up, why should she?-well that’s Lila’s business and not anyone else’s

-Adrien, Adrien’s conflicted, because on one hand he knows Ladybug wouldn’t do a lot of these things, knows that Bridgette can’t be Ladybug because she’s not a puzzle solver like Ladybug and is so open that surely she would’ve let something slip and she believes Lila wholesale and Bridgette didn’t know Adrien until after Aspick and she’s so unlike Ladybug but also...

-But she looks so much like her, and she’s so kind just like her and just, she’s the epitome of what Ladybug should be and maybe it’s a disguise?! Maybe Ladybug is such a good liar that it looks like all her emotions are plan to see and maybe Ladybug does want him like Bridgette does...

-It’s stupid, he shouldn’t think like this but, it’s what he wants, and if it’s what he chooses to see then maybe it’ll be true...

[existing-and-dying]

Real talk, Marinette immediately tried to give up her miraculous in Ladybug and we know that Hawkmoth can’t actually control people until they’re akumatized so that shit was her fully giving in. She wanted them to pay. 

Either that or it’s just inconsistent writing.

Also I love a Marinette willing to punish people but come on why can’t she even try to fight it off when Chloe can? Guarantee that if it were Adrien they would have him fight it off.

[existing-and-dying]

I really wasn’t that mad when I made this post? I was kinda just floored at Marinette being so willing to give in and I thought it was cool? This was not Marinette hate this was being like ‘YAS SHOW THEM GIRL’. Which I only mention because I’m getting the sense that either a lot of people were mad that I insulted(?) Marinette or something, or they were just mad because I had some wrong information because otherwise I don’t understand why people were so fired up about this post?

I will admit that I jumped the gun a bit by claiming that Marinette wasn’t being controlled. I was under the impression that Scarlet Moth’s only boost was that he could akumatize more than one person. However, looking back I should’ve remembered that Scarlet Moth causes immediate akumatizations and doesn’t usually do his talking spiel. I was also under the impression that Scarlet Moth wasn’t controlling his minions in Catalyst or Mayura and they were simply doing what they usually do and listening to him because they didn’t have other goals.

Also I was not trivializing what Marinette went through, I was just saying that I wanted her to fight back an Akuma like Chloe? In hindsight comparing a Scarlet Moth akumatization to a regular one was not my finest moment and I will fully admit to that. Marinette is just a character I love and I think she would want to fight back more into being akumatized, but again, Scarlet Moth plays by different rules.

As for the Adrien commen (which thank god nobody that I know of has brought up yet),...guys I have no idea okay, I just wanted Marinette to actually fight off an akuma and succeed and decided to be salty about it and Adrien got caught in the crossfire.

Do I say I’m sorry for making a mostly impulse post that is misinformed, even though it didn’t harm anyone? I’m genuinely asking because I’ve never done something like this before. I’m going to say I’m sorry because I feel obligated to because of my anxiety but also I don’t know how to respond to these sorts of things? 

Oh yeah and also I doubt that Marinette was taking the earrings off so Hawkmoth wouldn’t get them. Just saying.

Miraculous Ladybug- Fixing the Powers

I’ve been very much bothered by the way that the writing team for Miraculous Ladybug has been handling powers for a long time now. It might not be as frustrating or offensive as how they sometimes treat the characters and their relationships, but it BOTHERS me. Because it doesn’t make sense that Adults are more powerful than kids just by the grace of being an adult if the magic comes from a kwami and the jewelry and as such the age of the wearer shouldn’t matter as much. And objectively speaking, there as several ‘minor’ miraculouses that seem WAY more powerful than the two that are supposed to be the most coveted, the Ladybug and Chat Noir miraculouses. Also both the addition of the potions AND the distinctions given to some of the miraculouses/kwamis (Such as Pollen being the ‘Kwami of Subjugation’) are just… ODD. So a while back I sat down and charted out a way to ‘fix’ the powers in Miraculous Ladybug, much like I’ve seen others fix plots and characters.

More Clearly based on Yin/Yang, Wu Xing, and the Zodiacs

I can’t tell you how much it annoys me that Astruc clearly chose these Chinese motifs for the aesthetic, and didn’t bother researching or properly applying any of the theology attached to them to his show. Ladybug and Chat Noir SHOULD be equal, and balance one another out, but they’re not. Instead, Ladybug gets way more power and importance than Chat Noir does. And the Wu Xing Cycle is an important one too, because that’s nature holding itself in check. 

The Wu Xing has four different cycles attached to it; the Creation Cycle, the Destruction Cycle, the Insult Cycle, and the Controlling Cycle. It could have been interesting to lean into this, so that pairing two miraculous heroes together can lead to new powers being unlocked, depending on the two in question, and that if a  Hawkmoth happens, there are two heroes other than Ladybug and Chat who’d be able to step up and confront him.

New Stations/Distinctions for the Kwamis

It bothers me that the distinctions chosen for the Kwami feel extremely random, and don’t fit together at all. Nooroo is “Generosity”, Trixx is “Deception”, Pollen is “Subjugation”, Wayzz is “Protection”, and Duusuu is “Emotion.” Like, on their own these are fine. But none of them really relate to one another in a way that makes sense, which the Wu Xing SHOULD. As much as it annoys me, I can sorta understand why it would be a bad idea to attach the specific elements themselves to each Miraculous, because then people will expect the powers of that miraculous to relate to that element, which is very limiting. The Wu Xing is about much more than just nature and the elements. It’s also used to reference the passing of time, physical parts of the body, emotions, cardinal directions and so much more. 

But I still feel that the Distinctions for each Kwami and their powers should be presented in a what where it makes sense to see them relating to one another. One way I’ve suggested for people to do this is to include Ladybug and Chat in the consideration and base each of the Kwamis off of one of the Seven Chakras. But another way I like much better is to consider the kwamis in relation to what area their abilities will affect. For Example; Fox- Mind (Wood) Bee- Energy (Fire) Turtle- Body (Earth) Peacock- Soul (Metal) Butterfly- Heart (Water)

These are things you can tell at a glance relate to one another, without limiting the kwamis too much to being one trick ponies. And speaking of limits…

Limits are based on internal balance, not age

In an effort to make the sage figure that is supposed to be Fu NOT look like he has sand for brains and decided it’d be a good idea to give his chosen heroes a massive handicap against the villain right out of the gate, we’re going to change up the limiter for the Miraculouses. Rather than being based on age, the thing that determines how well you use a miraculous is your affiliation with the element/distinction that the Miraculous represents. Let’s use Kim as an example here. He’s very energetic and driven, so he’d have a great time with either the Bee or the Turtle, but give him the Peacock, the Butterfly, or the Fox, and things will get a hell of a lot harder for him. On the exact flip side, Juleka would be great with the Peacock, Butterfly, or Fox, but would struggle with the Bee or the Turtle.

Having the powers draw off of being able to synchronize with that power/ability due to personality makes sense, and is more true to the concepts that Miraculous Ladybug is trying to present than claiming that it’s because of age. And the beauty of this is that people can grow and change at any point in their life, which means that they can learn and change and miraculouses that they once struggled with can become easier for them to use while ones they once used easily can slip from their grasp if they begin to neglect that aspect of themselves.

More Clear and Understandable Power Pyramid

This is one of the things that bothers me MOST about how they’ve been handling the powers. We’re supposed to see Ladybug and Chat Noir’s miraculouses as the be all/end all, but many of the zodiac miraculouses seem much more powerful than them, and even the Peacock and Butterfly can create opponents that are more than a match for the Lucky Duo. Not to mention the fact that, as I said before, the Lucky Duo itself is imbalanced due to Ladybug getting all the power in their relationship. So the best way to fix that?

Power Pyramid.

By this, I mean that instead of all miraculouses just getting one power and calling it a day, it makes more sense to present the powers as an almost ‘trickle’ effect. To start off, Zodiacs get defined by a single element and whichever side of Yin/Yang they fall on, and get their power based on that. For example, the Dragon. That is a Yang/Earth (Body) Personality, who uses the elements in an aggressive way. Meanwhile, Snake is a Yin/Fire (Energy), so they require someone who comes across as passive, but is actually patient and knows to wait for the precise moment to strike.

Next level up from the Zodiac Miraculouses, we have the Wu Xing/Elemental Miraculouses. Rather than just one power, each Wu Xing Miraculous should get two, one based on it’s “Yin” Abilities, and one for it’s “Yang.” the way I broke it down when I was working this out for examples went like so;

Trixx

Fox Powers/Mind

Yang- Mirage 

Creates an illusion of the user’s choosing.

Yin- Outfox

Gives the user the ability to convince the victim that anything they’re saying is true.

Pollen

Bee Powers/Energy

Yang- Nectar

Ability to heal injuries and cure illnesses (not as strong as Miraculous Cure)

Yin- Sting

Causes temporary paralysis

Wayzz

Turtle Powers/Body

Yang- Shell-ture

Creates an impenetrable shield

Yin- Withdraw

Teleportation ability that allows the user to put people and object of their desire in a pocket dimension of their own making for protection.

Duusu

Peacock Powers/Soul

Yang- Good Spirits

Creates a golem/familiar of sorts that is bonded to a certain person or object and protects them at all costs.

Yin- Soul Search

Allows the user to leave their body and enter another persons to take control of their actions and peer into their memories.

Nooroo

Butterfly Powers/Heart

Yang- Metamorphosis

Creates heroes to fight alongside the user

Yin- Butterfly Effect

Allows a brief glimpse into the future

And then after the Elements, at the top of the Pyramid we have Ladybug and Chat Noir, who get a whopping FIVE power each, but can only access those powers when they are in tune with that aspect of themselves, much like using the lesser miraculouses. For Example, Marinette’s Ladybug Can easily do the Mind, Energy, and Heart powers, but has a much, MUCH harder time with the Soul one, because she tends to read people at face value rather than trying to see beneath the surface. Adrien’s Chat Noir is excellent with the Body and Energy powers, but struggles much more with Mind (linked to one’s creativity) and Heart (Based on people’s abilities to connect with others, something Adrien struggles with after being home schooled his entire life) My idea for the Ladybug and Chat Noir powers look like this;

Tikki

Ladybug Powers:

Positive Heart- (Healing) 

Miraculous Ladybug/Miraculous Cure

Heals all wounds, restores everything to its proper state

Positive Mind- (Inspiration) 

Lucky Charm

Grants Ladybug an object to help her win

Positive Energy- (Creating) 

Wish Come True

Allows Ladybug to will into existence something of her own choosing

Positive Body- (Protecting) 

Elytron

Allows Ladybug to recreate both her own suit and the suits of her allies to help them fight (space suits, ice skating form, underwater suits, ect)

Positive Soul- (Life) 

Red Thread

Ladybug has a limited ability to communicate with plants and animals, extending some of her power to them. Also works on humans, if the person trusts Ladybug enough to basically let her see into their very soul.

Plagg

Chat Noir Powers:

Negative Heart- (Toxicity) 

Cat Scratch

Curses the victim with a lingering sickness that can only be healed by Ladybug.

Negative Mind- (Madness) 

Cheshire Cat

Causes temporary insanity, which varies from victim to victim.

Negative Energy- (Destruction) 

Cataclysm

Destroys anything the user touches.

Negative Body- (Weakness) 

Catatonic 

Puts the victim to sleep.

Negative Soul- (Death) 

Catacomb

Allows the user to see, touch and summon spirits/ghosts

And that’s the basic breakdown of how I feel the powers of the ML universe SHOULD be handled instead. Feel free to comment with thoughts and inputs of your own and ask questions if any of this doesn’t make sense! ^^

[miracul0us-multishipper]

This is a very interesting and far more detailed take on the Miraculous than the show provided.

If I may ask - What would you see as appropriate powers for the zodiacs?
