Redimus/Dorcean triplets headcanon:

So this is based on @dracocheesecake's great theory that Redimus is affected by the Vitae Virus, but to a much lesser extent than Eva. Please make sure you check out their og post here because it's such a good theory

When Redimus and Besteel's mother was pregnant with them. She had drunk water that had the Vitae Virus in it, which mainly affected her oldest and is one of the reasons why Redimus is so empathetic. Though not as severe as Eva's, Redimus still has some capability of reading others' emotions and sensing others affected with the virus, though he can't hear their thoughts or communicate with them like Eva

Redimus and Terradora's children may also have some traces of the virus. Roshank in particular may be affected more compared to her brothers, hence her love and empathy for animals, regardless of how dangerous they can be

Misinformation is such a huge problem on TikTok. People are out making baseless claims towards other people (ie creators or those who simply disagree with them) with no evidence. Then the people who watch and comment believe them wholeheartedly and share them with others. To the point of people not knowing what's real or fake. All the while the people who make the false claim reap the rewards

PLEASE I'm begging you to do your own research. Don't be afraid to delve deeper into a topic if it seems fishy or can't find any evidence of the claims being made

I was scrolling through TikTok and I found someone talking about Gamoverse. This was around the time the pilot was first released and some voiced their disappointment over the fact that most of the female characters had the same body type. In the first 5 seconds, the creator said along the lines "Imagine working on the show in the last 13 years and never learning how to draw more than one body type for women" in the most condescending tone possible. The comments unfortunately weren't any better, basically going "actually I hate Gameoverse and think it's overrated"

Now I want to make it clear, I understand where many are coming from when it comes to most of the female characters having similar body types in Gameoverse. Especially since we've had more media trying to give their female characters more variety in their designs. My issue however is when some use it as an excuse to dislike the show and or creator. I've been noticing more and more people (specifically on sites like Instagram, TikTok and Twitter) acting incredibly condescending and just flat-out nasty when it comes to media discussions and how they talk about creators when they do or make something they don't like. It's fine to criticise how a show designs its characters, but there's a way to do so without needing to paint the show and creator in a bad light

And to remind everyone, this is just a PILOT. The show could listen to the feedback and start introducing female characters with more distinct body types if it's picked up

Here's what owl species the Dorcean triplets would share their fur colour with and what fur patterns they inherited from Redimus and Terradora

Corrigan = Tawny Owl, has his father's stripes and mothers spotted chest

Roshank = Brown Wood Owl, shares the leaf pattern on her forehead with her father

Trodimus = Barn Owl, the only one that has a spotted forehead like his mother

I normally would never ask for this, because it's against my comfort zone of showing vulnerability to be begging.

But I am asking today.

Zubař pro Taru

Tara je 27letá kobylka, která je již léta oporou své majitelce. Teď ji trápí zánět zubů – bez rychlé extrakce se neuzdraví. Pomozte Radce za

My horse Tara has a gingivitis and we are trying to gather enough money to pay for the surgery and getting Tara the post surgery treatment she will need.

We have her for nearly 15 years since she was 13 and went through an abortion which with horses is a brutal thing to go through as one. Especially because they are very sensitive creatures that feel more than they show. Tara had gone through our worst with us and was honestly one of the only lights that kept my mom going after divorce and looking for a place to call somewhat of a home.

I am making this post to help my mom who is loosing hope that we will gather enough. She has been down with hope in general for a while now. And hope is not something one should loose.

All I ask from you is a reblog to spread our chances that someone who loves horses will decide to donate to help one to live longer and keep one tired woman going. She's the one on the pictures, looking actually happy.

This post is my lowest bottom. Trust me I know that.

I feel like this should be made clear, regardless of my criticisms of Rosetta Sun and the things she's said and done. DO NOT go harass Rosetta and attack those who enjoy her work. When someone criticises someone else's work, that is not an endorsement to go after them

Was scrolling through Tumblr and found this

Let's get one thing out of the way. I have my issues with the show and Eva's writing. But NONE of it has to do with Eva's ethnicity being changed. The only important thing about Eva's race for the story is that she is human. I've seen a few people complain about this and claim the show made Wondla woke....mate did you even read the books or pay attention to the themes?

I'm gonna say this once. I will not tolerate people trying to use any excuse to be hateful or racist, especially in the Wondla fandom. I won't hesitate to call people like this out

[skysiren41]

The many, MANY things I did not like about Wondla's tv series

● Eva's characterisation. All her flaws, fears and clear growth are completely gone or exaggerated to 11. She feels like every other adorkable female protagonist who is super clumsy and awkward but is suddenly capable when the plot demands it. Show Eva is so much more bland as a character compared to her book counterpart

● The show ruins Eva's relationship with both Rovender and Muthr. I've already talked about my issues with Rovender's characterisation here and how it hurts his relationship with Eva. Muthr and Eva did bicker and disagree on things in the book, but it was never dragged out. Their relationship in the show feels like every other "teen girl argues with her parent" trope. They even have Eva do the whole "you're not my real mother" stick

● The complete bastardisation of Eight's character and arc. Again I go into more detail here, but taking one of the most tragic characters in the story and turning her into a genocidal maniac just so you can make her the big bad of the finale is honestly the worst change the story could've made

● Almost all the characters have their nuances and moments of humanity scrubbed away just so they can make them the typical "good guy or bad guy." Specifically Besteel, Ojo, Caruncle, Zin, Loroc, Cadmus and Eight

● Not diving into Redimus and Besteel's backstory or even relationship. They set up Redimus being angry at Eva for killing his brother, but don't do anything with it

● Removing the fear and threat factor of the villains. Cadmus, Loroc and Besteel go down so easily or even become dumber just so Eva can get away more easily. If book Eva tried to willingly give herself up to book Besteel, he would go "fuck no" and give her a head start so he can capture her himself

● The comedy. Most of the attempts at humour either ruined a tense scene or just were painfully unfunny

● The show tries to add new characters (ie Eight's team and Azura) which while not inherently bad, felt really pointless and only served to bloat the cast. Azura especially felt like you could've removed her and the story would remain the same

● The pacing. I understand that a lot of it was due to the series having only 20 episodes to cover 3 books that are almost 400 pages each. But the rushed pacing is what really hurts the story

● Redimus was done so dirty in this series. Not only is his backstory and relationship with Besteel left unexplored, but all the things that made him such a complex and interesting character are gone. It honestly feels like he was just there as a punching bag

● Gen having her role diminished and being done even more dirty than Redimus

● EVERYTHING about what they did to Queen Ojo and Otto

● Dumbing down the series themes from "needing to accept change but not losing our connection to the natural world and others" to "ALL HUMANS AND TECHNOLOGY IS EVIL AND ONLY SERVES TO DESTROY EVERYTHING!!!!"

● Not giving Hailey consequences for betraying the group like in the book

● The series sanitizing the darker elements and themes. Because god forbid a series aimed at kids actually has you think or actually puts the characters in peril

● The general art style and character design. The books had such a unique, almost retro art style and featured so many alien designs. Meanwhile, the show replaces all the charm of the designs with "Disney but not actually Disney" I understand some designs needing to be simplified for animation and budget reasons, but I really doubt that there wasn't a way to do so while keeping the charm intact

● John Lasseter working on the series....do I need to say more?

[skysiren41]

Ok, here are some of the things that I actually liked about Wondla's TV series

● The environment design of Wondla. As much as others ragged on the actual character design and animation quality. I will say that the show did a really good job capturing the otherworldly scenery of Orbona, especially the Rings of Oborna and how all of the villages were mostly accurate to the books

● For the most part, the voice acting was pretty decent. You had a few duds here and there, mainly Alan Tudyk as Cadmus and John Ratzenberger as Caruncle. But there are some genuinely good performances. Specifically I wanna give my praises to Jeanine Mason as Eva and Ana Villafańe as Eight

● Vampa was weirdly one of the few characters that wasn't horribly assassinated, tho that isn't really saying much

● The score was genuinely excellent, especially the ones used for the title card

● As much as I was disappointed with how Redimus was characterized, I'd be lying if I still didn't find him enjoyable. Everytime he appeared on screen gave me a bit of serotonin. He was the only thing that kept me going through Season 3

● The Dorcean designs in general aren't half bad. I still think the book designs are objectively better and more unique. But the Dorcean brothers were one of the few redesigns that didn't piss me off

● As pointless as Loloc was in this series, his death by The Heart was pretty brutal and cool. Yes it's not as impactful as his book death, but I'll take it

● The Dovasu was a genuinely really cool animal. I'm a sucker for anything that's usually seen as cute being made scary, and I like seeing the series come up with orignal designs

● I think Queen Ojo's design is really pretty. I kinda wish it was used for a completely new character aside from Ojo

● Huxley not being in the series is actually a blessing. I dread to think about what the series would've done to him

● Gargoof is best boi

● At the end of the day. I'm still glad I watched this series since without it, I'd probably wouldn't have found what has become one of my all time favorite book trilogies and be part of such a passionate fandom

Fall Of Cybertron's origin for the Dinobots: The Dinobots were originally regular Autobots that had been captured and later experienced on by Shockwave, giving them their ability to transform into dinosaurs

Bayverse's origin for the Dinobots: The Dinobots are ancient Cybertronian knights that were trapped in stasis for generations after their ship was hijacked by Lockdown

G1's origin for the Dinobots: ....Yeah so Wheeljack just decided one day to make dumb as bricks Autobots that transform into dinosaurs in his garage for shits and giggles

To all the Skylanders fans upset over the new Spyro game

I understand being disappointed, but some of you guys need to chill out. Speaking from a fan of both Skylanders and Spyro, I think some Skylander fans are missing how A Realm Beyond is still huge for both series. Not only is this the first original Spyro game in almost 20 years, that isn't a remake or spinoff. But the game's success might open up the possibility that Skylanders COULD return one day

Here's a comment TFB made when someone asked about Skylanders:

It's pretty clear that TFB still loves Skylanders and wants to return to it, and A Realm Beyond could be that stepping stone if it sells well. Who knows, maybe TFB and Activision might even consider doing a remake of the TLOS trilogy. It's a low possibility but I think those games could use and deserve a remake

Also, remember that Spyro was a character and franchise LONG before Skylanders was even thought of. It means a lot to many who grew up with the OG trilogy just as much as Skylanders. So it would make sense why they would want to make a whole new game for our favorite purple dragon

[skysiren41]

Another reason I love Huxley as a character. He's bubbly and cheerful but knows when to lock TF in. He's actually really mature and smart, just look at how willing he was to sacrifice himself for a bunch of people he just met. Huxley easily could've been just a comic relief character, but he's allowed to be both cheerful and a badass
