Okay hear me out..... Gozer X Garraka

(for the shipping chart)

(ship hate chart)

Ok I don't think that's a real ship and you just made it up, but I'll do it anyway for shits and giggles.

Gozer is WAY out of Garraka's league. They are a god of death and destruction while he is merely an ice demon. If Gozer's treatment of Shandor is anything to go by, it's clear that they prefer to rule alone.

Although with romance off the table, I admit seeing these two interact in any other capacity would be interesting. If Garraka wanted to free all the ghosts from the containment unit, did that include Gozer? Was he trying to form an alliance with them, or usurp their power? We'll probably never know but it's fun to speculate.

Hey got any fun facts about goblin sharks? I think they are honestly my second favorite animal, they are so cool!

we’re probably all familiar with the goblin shark’s nightmare jaws at this point, their distinctive pouty face can be seen on pretty much every pop culture image of a goblin shark that exists! 

the thing is, goblin sharks don’t actually look like that!

see, for a long long time, all we had to go off of for how a goblin shark actually looks were the dead ones we occasionally fished up:

which sure, is how the shark became famous and their jaws became popularized! but the thing about dead specimens is that they can only tell us so much about how an animal actually looked when it was alive, and in this case there was a pretty big omission that we didn’t notice until we started encountering live goblin sharks in the wild:

they really don’t run around with their jaws out! in fact you won’t see the jaws at all unless the shark you’re watching happens to find something interesting to chew on while you’re standing right there.

*homg homn homng homn*

live goblin sharks use special muscles to hold their jaw in place to keep their face all streamlined, but in a dead shark those muscles relax and the jaw pops out like a really gross jack-in-the-box.

tldr: live goblin sharks are beautiful and they deserve at LEAST as many toys and plushes as the dead-shark variety!

So I gotta ask: what do you think of rouges portrayal in Archie? From what I have seen, she mainly seems pretty unscrupulous and has a bit of a weird obsession with knuckles that I don’t like. Personally, I have found that she is better written in IDW because she has a lot more agency and personality and what she does. I haven’t read all of Archie, so I’m a little biased but they are, but from what I’ve seen of her in the Archie comics I am not really a fan. I mainly ask because she is one of my favorite characters, and I want to get a broader perspective. 

I can't really give a complete opinion on Archie Rouge yet since I'm still early in Ian's run. So far we haven't seen a ton of her, and she's mostly just the Freedom Fighters' contact at GUN who occasionally shows up to be catty with the other girls. I know Ian was intentionally trying to set her up as more of an antagonist early on in his run, but everyone hated that (including myself - lengthy thoughts here) and so he backpedaled on that. But her time on Team Dark is what everyone seems to remember her for in the Archie comics, and I'm still not up to that point yet

As for her IDW portrayal under both Ian and Evan, I really love what they've been doing with her. But again, can't compare that to Archie Team Dark Rouge yet

Can I please have some support for a struggling celebi who feels they are being punished for not doing anything wrong, and who is also struggling with some family issues and life problems. Thank you.

It’s rotten when people are mean to you even though you did nothing wrong, but Celebi, you KNOW you did nothing wrong! This hurts, I know, but time will prove you right. You’re going to be okay!

Do you have any cursed facts about deer? They are my favorite animal.

there’s an entire subset of deer that have sabre fangs instead of antlers!

this is because the very earliest deer on the planet had both antlers AND fangs, but over time deer diverged into two separate lineages that had either antlers OR fangs and they’re both still around today!
