Don’t get your “Nyeh heh heh” and your “Nya ha ha” confused!
Okay, for anyone interested in the science here, I have a few clarifications.
First, early fossils of land plants date to around 433 million years ago, during the Silurian period, not to the Precambrian (defined as before around 540 million years ago).
Second, Tiktaalik was not the first land animal; it is known for being the earliest/one of the earliest vertebrates to walk on land, but arthropods got there first. Early centipedes and millipedes ventured out of the water relatively soon after the plants (around 425 million years ago, also during the Silurian), while Tiktaalik evolved around 375 million years ago, during the Devonian period.
can you imagine plants on land in the precambrian like aw fuck yeah fish cant even eat us anymore this owns and then tictilak shows up

The Fell Dragon Grima, the dark deity bent on eradicating humanity, the bringer of the zombie apocalypse, and a lot of fans’ blorbo.
When you first meet them in Fire Emblem Awakening, they’re the Big Bad villain with little actual characterization, but that didn’t stop the fandom from loving them, and they got more lore and characterization in DLC and other games in the franchise. There is soo much Murder Dragon Romanticization in the fandom and it seems to be running on sheer swag and charisma. It’s also true that canon is enough of a mess that you could make the case they’re much less evil than it seems… or maybe that’s the fandom talking. There are Tumblr folk who celebrate “Grimas” every year. Grima should absolutely be a Tumblr Sexyman: he’s the villain certain people love, dark and mysterious and eldritch and full of issues and trauma. The fan fiction this character has spawned includes some of my favorite fanworks.
Their (unwilling?) vessel is none other than the amnesiac player character Robin, who was born into an evil cult for the purpose of bringing their dark god back to life. Robin and Grima are so interconnected that the death of one means the death of the other (a great source of angst, at least until Robin is revived by the power of friendship). A lot of people headcanon that Grima and Robin are actually the same entity, and the varying interpretations of Grima and Robin and how they’re connected are such fun.
Grima is also:
-an artificial being whose creator tried to kill them
-a dragon monstrosity with six eyes and six wings that’s so huge the final battle is held on top of their back
-referred to with mostly he/him but kinda inconsistent pronouns in game, probably some genderfuckery here
-I headcanon Grima is Above Gender
-parent to a Very Traumatized child (or several)
-a GIGANTIC effing DRAGON with six eyes and six wings
-I keep wanting to add more but I can’t let my brain be consumed any further
Here’s my two cents

My special interests are often what my friends seek me out for lol
(either that or "you're smart help me with this school thing")
what's your 'thing' as a friend. i don't mean like 'oh im the mom friend' i mean like what's the Thing where if one of your friends was looking for a specific interaction they'd message you first. personally i can always be relied upon to get hyped about bugs, literature, and cursed internet images.
With their tiny buggy feet.
I want #hemiptera to stomp on me.
Arya is so cool vote for her she reminds me of my own OC (though more fantasy and more traumatized XD)
Her design is great, her backstory is great, and I want to give her a hug (if she would like one).
Angharad Brosca (@rlainarin) vs. Arya Velorë (@panek-at-the-disco)
He/Him
tldr: he's gay ginger dwarf Jesus
5'0 twunk with long curly auburn hair, a short beard, and big dark brown doe eyes
she/her
Arya should win because she is a very kind and caring alchemist who is starting to learn magic from one of her friends. She was originally a human from a city that was stuck in a time-loop repeating the same day for nearly three years before escaping to try and find someone to help. When she returned to help free her home, her soul was split and half of her was sent back in time to become one of the reoccurring minor antagonists while the other half remained in the present and placed herself into her new clockwork body so she is strong enough that she won't be hurt like that again. Everyone who loves cute blorbos with ~trauma~ who will do anything for her friends (including betraying them) will love her <3
She has a clockwork body made out of brass and ivory with the cylinder of a music box in the center of her body. She has long red hair and purple and green eyes. Her clothes are technically part of her body, but she wears a long cloak with fluff lining the end of it and several pockets sewn into the inside of it. In combat she carries a clockwork staff made of a music box cylinder, a small pair of wings, and an amethyst to power it.

Hi, we're the River System! Katlyn (she/they) and Jacob (he/him). Came for the fandoms, stayed for the off-the-wall and the cringe. 22, autistic (language abled and low support needs), Environmental Biology major. Actual Mad Scientists ;) [We do science and don't do sanity!] Mostly this is Katlyn obsessing over bugs and fandoms (Undertale, Hollow Knight, Little Nightmares, Fire Emblem: Awakening, RWBY, Arcane). Also may include photography, dark aesthetics, and general chaos from Jacob. (Cover photo by Sagar Patil on Unsplash)
