You've unlocked an alien invasion! It's Fourside!!!

Speaking of entry level geek cringe, this is it, the thing that causes the most irrational Nerd rage in me. It is so zero-effort, Bazinga!-grade garbage.

Actual fantasy maps would be cool. A time-shift merging of the geographies of Middle-earth to the Hyperborian Age and other prehistories would be sweet.

But this is muddled shit.

Like, there’s so many problems; Panem is a future US, Westeros is the size of South America, throwing off the scale; Hogwarts is a single campus and distinctly a part of the modern UK (and why the fuck is Hogsmeade pointed out?), and the fucking wardrobe is in England. Middle-earth is a massive continent on primordial earth, or Arda, yet is only somewhat larger than a camp. Moomin Valley is show to be a plane circled by mountains, not a valley between mountains. The Land of the Lost is subterranean, not an island; why is Lidsville a Hyrulian peninsula? The fucking Minnish Cap? Terabithia is, even in its own book, imaginary AND ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY A BRIDGE, it’s the title; actually physical places on earth are freely mixed with extradimensional Dreamlands.

And Nehwon, one of the smallest places here, is actually the largest (barring maybe the possibly infinite Dreamlands), a planet.

I hate this shit so much.

Also earthsea is a fucking huge-ass group of islands, many miles apart from each other, basically different countries all of their own but here it's so fucking small

Camp half-blood is even smaller than hogwarts campus was, yet is the size of/bigger than middle earth?!

my mom uses sweet bro and hella jeff magnets to tell me if the dishes are clean or dirty

update: she’s now also putting “positivity” on our fridge 

she has no idea what sweet bro and hella jeff is

“We all of us bear a touch of darkness, just as surely as we bear light. Much as with the twin sets of Crystals. And the darkened underworld that rests beneath your planet’s brighter surface. But as long as there is darkness, so will there always be light.” —Fusoya

I love the fact that Sombra can’t hack Junkrat’s RIP-Tire, because I can just see a very blown up and smoking Reaper stalking about Sombra and yelling at her about not stopping it, isn’t that what they have her for? To keep the technology from literally blowing up in their faces??

And Sombra’s just as annoyed and she’s yelling back about how the thing is not “technology”, it’s basically made out of gunpowder, paperclips, and rubber bands.  “I can’t hack paperclips, Gabe!  I’m pretty sure it’s held together with dirt and snot!  You think that thing has a wifi connection???”  Honestly, I imagine that about 90% of Junkrat and his arsenal annoy Sombra because “this isn’t a weapon this is the physical manifestation of a mistake” but it’s so low-tech it’s not even a mistake she can exploit.

Like Junkrat finding out that Sombra got herself implanted “upgrades” and Rat’s just like “yeah, yeah, same”.  And Sombra staaares at Junkrat’s crude arm and peg-fucking-leg in comparison to her sleek cybernetics and is mortally offended.
