I'm back babyyyyy, let's go, revamped and renewed. 🗣

[the-average-fandom]

Hello internet, here's a bit about me. 😌

My name is Alex (he/they/xe/it pronouns), I'm 19, very not cis, aroace-spec, certified yapper, and very obsessed with Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated as of late.

As of the 25th of September 2024, this account is five years old holy shit! I keep coming back to it, but only sporadically because I never remembered the password and couldn't be bothered to reset it, but we're so fucking backkkkk! And for good this time. :)

I mainly cover:

Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated

STARKID STARKID STARKID STARKID STARKID STARKID STARKID

Rick Riordan books

DC (mainly Batfamily content)

Merlin

Nowhere Boys

Disney Films

Gravity Falls

There's definitely more, I just can't think of anything, so more stuff will be added as the need arises. :)

Also I'm going through the transitional period of coming back to my blog, which means that there's gonna be the longest slew of reblogs that I've accumulated from my sideblog, like, in the world, good luck. 😭

And I draw! So I may or may not post stuff to do with that on here as well. :) Enjoy your stay!

Terfs, swerfs, transphobic, homophobic, and aphobic people DNI.

I haven't seen enough people talk about the fact that Leslie Odom Jr is in Person Of Interest, like, hello??? Was this not as notable to anyone else???? I need someone to talk about this with 😭

Finally we address the elephant in the Room Where it Happens

I could never take Collier's scenes seriously I can't remove the Aaron Burr from him ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Also the fact Vigilance has the theme of naming themselves by American historical figures is also something that I found funny. Real life foreshadowing

If I'm correct Collier's arc happened around 2014-15 so either Collier was one of his submissions to get cast as Burr or he was performing both characters at the same time. Either way I'm impressed because of the parallels between both characters.

Oh you know what's UP, I honestly kinda expected him to break into song at any point 😭 At least we didn't get an Alexander Hamilton Vigilance member, I think the internet would have exploded if more people knew about Person Of Interest

Maybe Leslie Odom Jr was just born to play characters associated with American historical figures hahaha

i woke up to my mom knocking on my door. “get up and meet me in the kitchen” she said, a cigarette limply dangling between her teeth. i got up and threw my brown hair into a messy bun and went downstairs. “pack your things” she said “im selling you for more cigarette money.” “to who?” i asked. suddenly the doorbell rang. i opened the door and saw five people blocking my way. one of them was a woman and she stepped forward and said “my name is beth may and we’re your new owners.” “ew aren’t you those dungeons and daddies people? there’s no way im going with you” i said. anthony burch then took out his gun and he shot me he fucking shot me

Saddest thing ever is reading an academic paper about a threatened or declining species where you can tell the author is really trying to come up with ways the animal could hypothetically be useful to humans in a desperate attempt to get someone to care. Nobody gives a shit about the animals that “don’t affect” us and it seriously breaks my heart

[great-and-small]

“No I can’t come out tonight I’m sobbing about this entomologist’s heartfelt plea for someone to care about an endangered moth”

[bogleech]

This is how I learn there's a moth whose tiny caterpillars live exclusively off the old shells of dead tortoises.

[Image description: text from a section titled On Being Endangered: An Afterthought that says:

Realizing that a species is imperiled has broad connotations, given that it tells us something about the plight of nature itself. It reminds us of the need to implement conservation measures and to protect the region of which the species is a part. But aside form the broader picture, species have intrinsic worth and are deserving of preservation. Surely an oddity such as C. vicinella cannot simply be allowed to vanish.

We should speak up on behalf of this little moth, not only because by so doing we would bolster conservation efforts now underway in Florida, [highlighting begins] but because we would be calling attention to the existence of a species that is so infinitely worth knowing. [end highlighting]

But is quaintness all that can be said on behalf of this moth? Does this insect not have hidden value beyond its overt appeal? Does not its silk and glue add, potentially, to its worth? Could these products not be unique in ways that could ultimately prove applicable?

[rackiera]

I was so inspired by this I made it into a piece of art for a final in one of my courses for storytelling in conservation

Chess drama video titled: "FIDE has a CHESS problem" or some shit

[wonky-venus]

The thumbnail is three heavily-photoshopped headshots of Levy Rozman, Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura being engulfed by flames. Levy is doing his YouTuber face, while the other two are frowning because they're Serious Chess People.

The video is about none of these people

Vladimir Kramnik optional

[the-average-fandom]

Of course the thumbnail would feature Levy staring directly into the camera with his piercing blue-eyed stare, truly a Levy classic fr

Interview with Rise the zero-gravity indicator plushie

[aardvaark]

perhaps it’s because it happened outside of the US, but surprisingly i haven’t seen anyone mention this international chocolate heist that just occurred:

i thought my fellow Leverage fans out there would be all over this already, because i think this is a very Parker-coded heist lol.

and for what it’s worth, considering Nestlé’s reputation as a profoundly evil company, i’m not exactly crying for them…

[witchaj]

The display KitKats!

[the-average-fandom]

Idk what Leverage is, I learned about it from everyone's favourite news segment, Here's The Thing

[loucifersbitch]

if you need me, i’ll be sobbing on the floor. humans, man

Objectively the funniest (and only memorable) time I've been blocked on any website was when Jordan Peterson posted "nobody knew about transgenderism five years ago" on twitter and I quoted it with "you've been saying this for ten years"
