The collision between the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy.
the grand showdown
Andromeda is a bit bigger than us. So when that happens, Andromeda’s black hole is gonna consume our black hole in a vicious act of galactic canabalism.
Which is an actual term used in astronomy apparently.
“Galactic Cannabalism” sounds like an electro/death metal fusion band.
Galactic cannibalism is one of my favourite astronomical terms, but it doesn’t beat the term used for the stretching out into a long thin tube that occurs when something falls into a black hole (spaghettification) or the term used for a rock thought to be a meteorite but which later turns out to be an ordinary terrestrial rock (meteowrong).
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

(Article does link to some tweets that, unsurprisingly, contain particularly sexist, racist and islamaphobic statements)
That’s right bros, the Red Menace is back and it’s already taken your fighting fucktoys from Mortal Kombat. Though if you’re wondering how, I’ll save you time - none of them have any theory on the how or why beyond buzzword salad.
Companies making or localizing games in a way that does not cater to the way a particular (insensitive, misogynistic) audience demands are not engaging in censorship; they are simply marketing to wider audiences. Ironically, the same people who claim to be fighting for free speech in video games are now trying to punish NetherRealm Studios for making a game they’ve deemed offensive. But what they consider “offensive” is reducing a character’s visible cleavage and slightly changing her facial structure.
Ironically, as the article points out - it seems that Netherrealm did make some backsliding in terms of their (minimal) LGBT+ representation.
But to finish on a positive note, finally Sheeva actually looks like a demon warrior who could break you in half:
Anonymous asked: I think the reason I like media homestuck and BNHA so much is because of the crossover potential. You can look at any cast of characters and put them in sburb with god tiers or turn their powers into a quirk and make them heros and villains. That being said, I think crossover potential heavily contributed to homestucks longevity and bodes well for BNHA. That and any media that uses quirk as a descriptor for an integral mechanic is a surefire success. Thank you for coming to my TED talks.
that’s a good theory i think! i always thought that part of homestuck’s major appeal was how much possibility it allowed for like… customization? projecting personality onto it? like you can figure out your troll blood color, your godtier classpect, your sburb planet, all sorts of shit like that.
another thing would be how it has a large cast that people liked to re-imagine into various AU situations. i feel like homestuck had like five hundred million AUs because the source material was so, so soaked in a really convoluted plot, shit was always hitting the fan, and lots of characters got killed off or were having a rough time and also there was usually like 3 of everybody, or maybe some of THOSE were dead, so like… it’s a lot! it’s difficult to parse and hard to play with. so people would take the characters they liked and put them in much more calm, more conventional settings. stuff like that, i think, really contributed to people connecting to homestuck and it’s characters
