Can we talk about how fucking amazing the music in The Adventure Zone is? It’s so good. Griffin literally taught himself how to compose for this show and was instantly good at it. The music took this show from good to great. I distinctly remember on my first listen through of the show, that scene at the very end of petals to the metal where Sloane and Hurley turned into a cherry blossom together was the exact moment I realized, ‘oh shit this show is actually amazing’ and upon further reflection it’s because of the music. Somehow Griffin was able to hit every single emotional beat exactly and cranked up those emotions to an 11. I felt 20 different types of melancholy and each of them were slightly different and it’s because of the music. The upbeat music is so hype you can literally dance to it by itself. It’s also amazing how distinct the music is for each campaign. Each has connecting threads running through it: Balance has a digital edge almost like a video game soundtrack, Amnesty has a country-esque feel, and Graduation is plucky cartoonish. But it goes beyond that. I can tell which arc of balance a song is just by listening to it, they’re all distinct. For instance there’s a lot of synth in Suffering game and a western twang in 11th hour. Yet they all have unifying elements that make them distinctly balance, despite their differences.
Anyways sorry for the rant. tldr: griffin is amazing and his music slaps.
A brinicle, also commonly known as an “ice stalactite” forms under the sea ice when a flow of extremely cold saline water is introduced to ocean water. It is known as an ice stalactite because it is the undersea equivalent of a hollow stalactite. It freezes everything it touches, including sea creatures.

He’s Diego. He has a knife.
If anti-maskers existed during WWII
Okay, here’s the thing though. It isn’t a question of if. They existed and this is exactly what they did.
After the United States entered World War II at the end of 1941 and Germany subsequently declared war upon it, Great Britain recommended several steps the United States should take in order to safeguard their ships from Nazi u-boats. Recommendations included sailing ships in convoy (preferably with escort, but records proved ships in convoy without escort were still safer than ships sailing alone), if a ship had to sail on its own, it should avoid known navigation routes and markers, and towns and cities along the East Coast should adhere to strict blackouts at night. These recommendations came from the previous two years of experience in which u-boats absolutely ran wild in the North Atlantic and North Sea, obliterating British shipping. This period of time was referred to by Nazi u-boat captains as “The First Happy Time”.
Despite British warnings, the United States was slow to follow them and impose restrictions. Ships continued to sail along marked navigation routes and run standard navigation lights at night. Boardwalk communities along the coast were only requested they turn off their lights at night and the cities weren’t even asked that because they didn’t want to offend the tourism, recreation, and business sectors.
Blacking out coastal communities would have made it infinitely harder for Nazi submarines to find and sink targets. A ship running with no lights is still visible against the backdrop of a lit city.
Conversely, a dark ship running against a dark coast is virtually invisible.
But because citizens living on the coast refused to adhere to wartime suggestions for amenity reasons, merchant ships sailing up and down the East Coast became sitting ducks of u-boats. The US government did not begin strictly enforcing blackouts until roughly August 1942. By then, the Nazis had been given 8 months to run rampant along American shores. This time period was referred to by u-boat captains as “The Second Happy Time” or “American Shooting Season”.
By August, Nazi u-boats had sunk 609 merchant vessels, totaling 3.1 million tons and costing thousands of lives, mostly of merchant mariners performing their essential jobs.
By comparison, only 22 u-boats were sunk.
While the failure of coastal blackouts were not the sole reason the Nazis had such success during this time period (the Navy was slow to implement convoys and remove notable aids to navigation along the coast), I do not think it can be argued they did not contribute significantly to such great loss of American lives.
If you can, please read the reply above or save it for whenever you have time. We need to break the habits of our history and that starts with applying our past to our present.
2020 has been weird not only because of all the disasters and shit that keep happening, but the fact that the ATLA and Hamilton fandoms are both back and active at the same fucking time like wtf is this year???
honestly ill come back to tumblr for atla
So here's a wild idea: cops should never kill anyone for any reason in any circumstance. A cop killing someone represents, at best, a failure to correctly deescalate the situation. Any cop who kills anyone should be immediately banned from being a cop ever again AND put on criminal trial (no internal investigations). If they are found not guilty of murder, then they can go get another job doing something else. But no one who has ever killed another person should still be a cop.

Artemis, teaching Persephone how to drive: So, you're driving down a road and you see Apollo and Hades on the road. What do you hit?
Persephone: I hit your brother. I could never hurt Hades.
Artemis, rubbing her temples: The brakes, Persephone. You hit the brakes.
the whiplash from going on r/TheAdventureZone and then going to the taz graduation tag is fucking fatal. the tag is so positive and is actually giving travis some leeway while the sub is just a bunch of people trash talking travis because his 11 episode dm’ing prowess doesn’t compare to griffins. it’s like a bunch of stepchildren angrily stomping their feet while screaming “your not my REAL DM” at travis.
Sure, Graduation may not be 100% my vibe and obviously it doesn't have to be, but here's the thing. At some point in the next few weeks I'm going to be DMing for the kids' program I volunteer with. I'm excited about this, of course, and yet the thought of having my efforts judged in real time by a gang of nine year olds shivers my very timbers. So even if we don't give Travis credit for anything else, despite there being so very much for which he deserves credit, and no matter how anybody feels about Graduation, at the absolute very least we have got to give him credit for having the sheer bloody guts to DM the Adventure Fuckin Zone with an audience of who even knows how many extremely vocal listeners who are not shy about offering feedback. I mean whew.
