Okay hold on. German scientists discovered FISSION, not nuclear weaponry. Fission is also used nuclear ENERGY, which is a step made towards clean energy. This is just from a cursory search of Google (but it is fascinating, good reading material), but nuclear fission is much more than weaponry. That's likely what Shannon was trying to get at; that humans corrupted what elves intended for good.
However, boy oh boy would it be a great recipe for ANGST and HORROR in a fic. The Council tried to wipe out humanity, etc etc.
Shannon did not think it through when she said elves gave humans technology to build atomic bombs. Why? Because the Nazis... YES THE GOD DAMN NAZIS were the first people to start developing it. meaning the elves gave the Nazi's the tools to start developing it willingly
I know Keefe is the obvious (and probably correct) answer, but my case for Biana is solely because I can't imagine lying in a pool of your own blood after being shredded by glass and thinking to myself "oh my gosh. this is how I die"
I dont think we as a fandom think about it that much, since Biana came back with a VENGENCE about it (showing her scars, standing tall, "I'm not gonna let them keep me down" etc). And that's amazing for her! "The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all" type shit. 10/10.
But she was, what, 14, 15? She was a little girl in an adult's war, all these kids are. She is strong and beautiful and brave but also so, so little and young and bright.
I know, I know all these kids are going through similar stuff. But I can't imagine just lying there, in pain and afraid as you hear your brother scream your name in search of you. And a little whisper in your head goes, "he's not gonna find me in time"

This is just me live-reacting to the GTLive Poppy Playtime Chapter 4.
Vader: [opening a desk drawer in Obi-Wan’s old room] Let’s see what this old fool kept in here…[picking up a piece of paper] Obi-Wan: [in a letter]
Dear Anakin,
If you’re reading this, then you must be rifling through my belongings, which means you are either extremely bored (in which case I suggest going and tidying up your quarters, which I don’t need to see to know are a disaster,) or I’ve been missing for an extended amount of time and the Order needs the room to store extra chairs, or I’ve died, possibly while trying to rid the galaxy of General Grievous. If I am in fact dead, I hope this letter finds you well in spite of it, and that you have not gone off the deep end or murdered anyone in an attempt to avenge me. (…unless it’s Grievous, I suppose.)
You will find attached to this letter the receipts for several items in my room, such as the electric tea kettle. I hope you can at least return them for store credit.
I’ve set up a college savings plan with the Galactic Bank of Coruscant, because I noticed that Senator Amidala is obviously pregnant, and since I am not nearly as dense as you apparently think I am, I presume the child is yours. The account information is in my safe, which I would give you the combination to except that I know you have been breaking into it since you were 14.
If you do intend to eventually leave the Order, as I suspect you might, please make sure that you give the Council two weeks’ notice. It’s only polite, and you never know when you may need to use them as a reference. Even though I know you clash with them, they do care about you.
Finally, please make sure Duchess Satine’s nephew gets the inheritance I’ve left him (the information is also in my safe, and no, I’m not going to tell you any more details about this. I realize how much this is going to torment you, and I’d be lying if I said that’s not bringing a smile to my face.)
Your blanket is in the hamper. Wash it on the gentle cycle. The password for the wi-fi, in case you’ve forgotten, is BuyYourOwnDataPlanAnakin.
Be well, my Padawan, and I shall see you again someday – hopefully many years from now – when you, too, rejoin the Force. Don’t forget to change the payment settings for Netflix now that I’m dead or you’ll fall behind on your programs.
Yours, Obi-Wan Kenobi PS: Don’t let Vos speak at my funeral.
I think Ford and I would get along like a house on fire, but I just like Stanley's good heart more than Stanford's intelligence
Ford is bright and quick but Stan is soft and warm
Reblog for sample size and also tell me why in the tags. I want violence. I want discourse. I want bloodshed

"Not good with words!" Thyme says as they run me through the gut with ANGST
WHY DOES LAYTON BRING LUKE EVERYWHERE AND NOT FLORA?? it’s not even something like “oh it’s cause lukes so insistent” CAUSE FLORA IS, TOO!! AND SHES STILL LEFT BEHIND.
I have to say: thank you so much for giving such an elaborate response. I learned so much, and I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through it.
I do understand how scary it is to stand up for what's right behind enemy lines, but Lise is right: if it is only the victims worrying about it, nothing will be fixed. Reading through the sources, I could argue that he was not explicitly a Nazi, but he was incredibly complacent, the ass. Which I find incredibly aggravating. I mean, sure, he tried to protest, but when that didnt work he just??? rolled over????? It all felt like a half effort, you know? Which is incredibly frustrating. Like, grow a spine. Stand for what you claim to believe in, Otto.
His efforts post-war are what really upsets me. Like, the threat is gone and you dismiss the effect Nazism had on science? You undermine your colleague and friend? You sweep it under the rug? What the heck? This isn't just passive; it's cruel. It's erasing history, and people's suffering, and oh my gosh I'm going to cry because I can't imagine being Lise and finding out about this after everything she did to fight back.
And finally, after, what, 6 reblogs? I finally understand the concern. I think the idea that elves helped progress Nazi atrocities could really tear the Council down (which would be SO interesting to see), but I think this will be a detail that does not affect anything. Maybe it would break down the elves' sense of superiority? But yeah, I think it was just mentioned to prove a point. I dont know what it means for Shannon specifically, but what an educational experience it birthed.
Again, thank you so much. You have such an intelligence about you, and I am glad to have experienced it. I learned so much from you, and I appreciate you spending the time to dispense your knowledge. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Inspector Grosky. Then we'd adopt Emmy.
If you had to marry a professor layton character who would it be?
Roman Catholic female who's a little too neurospicy for her own good.
