Wow! It only took me 966 days of Spamton brainrot to make an actual reference
(text ver under cut)
Tumblr media
- Based on ventriloquist dummies and ball-jointed dolls, both of which require strings in order to move
- Bird nostrils: one of the only remaining "addison" features (also I didn't want to make him a chronic mouth-breather)
- Black hair is permanent from puppetification shenanigans
- Widow's peak to make him more skeletal
- Eyes, teeth, and muscles visible through joints are the only biological bits that haven't been covered by the plastic exoskeleton
- Scratches and yellowing across the plastic epidermis
- Tattered suit jacket and dress shirt; repaired with messy stitches and patches on elbows
- Joints poke out weirdly under suit, especially in the torso area
- Toes, tail, fur, skin, and part of his fingers are missing—destroyed in puppetification process
- Seam lines on body to mimic manufactured dolls
- Four fingers because bird
- Shoe-esque feet
- Where are his pants? Top 10 Questions Science Can't Answer
Tumblr media
- Technically had an underbite? Your lower teeth are not supposed to be directly below the upper teeth
- "Ball jointed body"—he still has muscle, organs, etc. under the plastic
- Animatronic puppet eyes
- Lazy eye? He just like me fr
- Had blue eyes, but they're more gray at this point
Tumblr media
- Pipis are, uh... he canonically makes nests for his eggs of unknown origin, I guess
- Jacket is longer in the back and ripped at the seam
Tumblr media
- Design is meant to work in a 3D environment; AKA no weird v-tuber hair flipping when he's facing forwards so he looks more "real"
- Flesh under his chin where the puppet jaw connects to his actual jaw hinge
- Glasses are screens & clear on his end
- Lenses glow
- He controls what [the lenses] display when he's not having one of his frequent mental breakdowns
- Four hair spikes on top make his mullet look less weird from the front
- Blue tongue (mandatory Spamton design element)
Tumblr media
- Addison Spam: 4 ft 11 in without those heels
- Puppet Spam: 3 ft 6 in - height of a ventriloquist dummy
- Puppetification: he slowly transformed into a living puppet due to his exposure to supernatural forces beyond reality. He was mostly unaware until he was on the streets due to his desecrated mental state.
skill issue
- Most shrinkage is from his legs getting shorter from the puppetification
Tumblr media

i think i have developed chronic spamton wasting disease

Liquidambar styraciflua - The American Sweetgum
If my memory serves me well, I believe it was Mr. Lynn in my 8th grade science class at Grier Jr. High School in Gastonia, NC who required us to make a leaf collection, which we compiled in student-sized folders pressed in appropriate sized plastic holders. It was a fun project and in honor of Mr. Lynn, this summer I may occasionally post sample photographs of local leaves.
Below are the leaves of the American Sweetgum tree, and I am delighted to be living among them again because they are native to the Southeastern U.S. In fact, there are many in my neighborhood and around my home. A very attractive tree with characteristic star shaped leaves. In the Fall they drop a spiked fruit that is very effective at spreading new trees and also feeds the local bird population.

Killjoys headcanons from my friend who knows everything secondhand:
Fun Ghoul has 12 packs of fun dip (6 on each side) stapled inside their vest. These tear open at inopportune times and there is dust everywhere. Every time one breaks it is replaced. There are a bajillion staples at each spot. One time, a squirrel smelled the powder, climbed into xyr vest, and tried to tear them all open. This resulted in much screaming and scratches. Most likely found a palette at some point and is just drawing from that. Sometimes when it falls there's a concerning snap but it's just one of the candy sticks
Ghoul has a bottle opener that says "TEXAS" on xyr person at all times despite rarely using it as it is frequently forgotten within the pocket it lives in.
Ghoul has worn their silly little sweat band on their wrist for so long that they just have red and blue stained stripes underneath so it is simply. Never taken off.
Kobra has about a hundred tiny little holes in the back of his jacket that you can't see unless you look really hard because one time he dramatically threw himself back directly onto a cactus. Has never lived this down. Forever referred to as Kactus Kid. Occasionally finds spikes he didn't see the first time around when putting on his jacket.
Kobra has never and never will know when a pan is hot and must touch it to find out.
Kobra has a tiny plastic baby on a necklace that he does not tell anyone about.
Party Poison ONCE forgot to put socks in their boots when they went to bed and 34 baby scorpions were born in their shoe. They did not check before donning said scorpion-filled boot. Much screaming.
Party has fingerless gloves because they tried to catch a lizard and the lizard bit their finger through the glove and made holes in it and they just said "fuck it" and cut the fingers off. The lizard was caught again and named "Bloot."
Party also left a piece of candy in their pocket and it melted and got gross so they just cut the pocket off.
One time Jet got a bird stuck in his hair for like. 4 hours. But he didn't want to cut it out and couldn't see what was happening so he just kinda sat there and waited till someone helped him.
When Jet first got his space helmet he fell flat on his face while wearing it and almost broke his nose and the helmet in one fell (haha) swoop.
Jet once zip tied his shoe to his foot and it stayed there for a solid week cause he didn't want to hunt for new ones.

assorted bomberman headcanons
This got rather long so to not clog the tag, ermmmm
When trying to stay awake [desperate times call for desperate measures-type deals] Blue will blast loud music directly into his ears. Think things like Enter Sandman by Metallica.
Plasma's scarf is, in fact, part of him. It follows his emotions-- if he's mad it'll spike up and will shock you, and if he's calm it'll be more of a quiet rumble, like an old CRT tv's screen static. It buzzes all the time.
Plasma can also control where his scarf moves. He usually uses it to gesture at things. This also means he can push you around or flip you off with it. Massive W.
Yellow and Aqua are twins. I will die on this hill.
The Bomberman Bros all had [keyword; had] color-coded blankets. This fell apart when Yellow traded with Aqua over textures. Now everyone has a swath of different colors. It's comforting in its own way. Pretty tried this when it was just her, White, Black and Pink-- that fell apart when she died and they split her belongings. The blankets White and Black got eventually ended up in storage, but the one Pink has is hung up on her bedroom wall.
The Dastardly Bombers all live in the same house at the moment [it is Phantom's]. It's kind of like a frathouse.
Magnet's favorite kind of music is Techno. He often plays it at max volume.
Red and Blue often get into arguments about wether checkers or chess is better.
The only game Green is bad at is Spoons. He can't react fast enough to win.
Blue collects dice sets. His favorite dice are D4. Great for laying out as weapons. His favorite set look like prisms.
Red can breathe fire. It's very system-intensive, so it's a last-ditch-effort attack.
Black likes writing. Yellow has convinced him to write small plots for him to make comic books with.
Golem names all of his birds. Phantom's house is surrounded by birdhouses.
Blue has narcolepsy. Honestly I'm pretty sure this is canon?
White can't sleep without some kind of noise. He has at least three fans, one heater, a radio and four white noise machines he cycles through.
Blue and Phantom are rivals. They often try to hack eachothers computers to put silly images onto them. Neither have ever succeeded.
White is always the last to go to bed. Yellow is almost always the first to wake up. The only exception to this is Blue, who can be up whenever.
Pink has a collection of plastic weapons. Think big battle axes, scythes, etc.
Blue always has bags of pretzels in his room. They are his favorite. No one else likes pretzels.
The Bomberman bros all have little glow-in-the-dark stars glued to the roofs of their rooms. White never got around to removing his. Black has painted a moon on his roof to go along with them. Pink counts them to sleep. Blue's room aesthetic is very star-themed, so he got even MORE stars. Red, Yellow, Aqua and Green all wanted them.
Pink consumes the most horror content out of anyone.
Aqua has a very extensive enamel pin collection and participates in pin trading. She has like. 3 corkboards full of pins.
White likes to collect reusable, recycled material bags.
Green's room is full of stuff. He says it's all put in specific places-- organized chaos-- but he puts it all in stacks. White tells him to clean his room a lot. The stacks just move around. It's a constant back and forth between them.
Aqua has drank hot sauce before. Like a drink.
Magnet is covered in scuff marks from his powers activating and pulling him against things.
Red occasionally does woodcarving.
Pretty is bad at letting go of items that can be even vaugely sentimental. She's kept almost everything she's ever been given, even if it's broken.
When he was younger, Black broke multiple handheld game consoles from overuse.
White is surprisingly good at fighting games. He mostly plays puzzle games.
Yellow likes to bake. He can make cookies, and that's it.
Golem often picks up the other Dastardly Bombers and carries them around. He often throws them over his shoulder.

crow's danger days au design party
hi! to celebrate reaching 200 followers, i'm hosting a design party for my life series danger days au!
what's that mean? beneath the readmore on this post will be a set of written descriptions for the cast of the au. anyone who wants can then draw what they think those characters look like!
do i have to draw all of them? nope! only do the ones you want!
is there a time-limit on this? also no! whenever you've got the time to do it, go for it!
what even is danger days? IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED! danger days is the 4th (and final) studio album by american rock band my chemical romance! it was a concept album, which can be seen in the music videos for nanana and sing. there's also a tie-in comic book series, danger days california. so if you're struggling for inspiration, i suggest watching those music videos or taking a look at the aesthetic of the comic!
if you're participating, please @ me in your finished pieces! :D
characters
these are the main characters featured in my current wip---the extended cast (as well as some picrews/art i've done of some of them) are in this google drive here. go nuts!! :D
Etho (they/them) Etho is a tall, lanky androgyne, and the tallest in their crew. They have unnaturally white hair with dirty blond roots that they keep longer on the top and shaved close on the sides. Their eyes are an unsettlingly dark shade of brown, bordering on black. They wear a black tank top, dark gray camo-patterned cargo pants (the pockets are full of wires and plastic scrap), well-worn black combat boots, and a heavy green jacket that reaches their thighs. They also wear fingerless leather gloves, protective goggles, and a tool belt that their raygun and other extra tools hang from. They wear a black gas mask on the bottom half of their face nearly 24/7.
Small Beans (he/him) Small Beans is considerably shorter than Etho, and the shortest in his crew. He has half-brown, half-green hair that is unkempt at best and a rat's nest at worst. His eyes are a dull green. He wears a black bleach-dyed t-shirt, ill-fitting and ripped light-wash blue jeans, brown work boots with yellow laces, and a vibrant pink leather jacket with spikes on the shoulders and a myriad of patches. He often steals Etho's leather gloves when they aren't looking, although does own a pair of their own fingerless gloves that have been painted with hand bones.
The Scar (he/him) The Scar is slightly shorter than Etho, and somehow manages to be quite buff. He has well-kept, short brown hair. His eyes are deep green. He has more scars on his skin than can be counted, mostly healed sunburns and raygun shots. Before he joined Etho's crew, he was often seen wearing burgundy slacks and a white, short-sleeved button up shirt. After joining Etho's crew, his outfit completely changed to a skin-tight, short-sleeve black shirt with a triangle cut-out on his chest, black leather pants, surprisingly well kept black boots with mismatched orange and teal laces, and a half-orange-half-teal windbreaker. He is the only member of the crew to never lose his sunglasses.
Pesky Bird (he/she) Pesky Bird is somewhat taller than Small Beans. He has a decently-kept mop of blond hair. Her eyes are rich, chocolate brown. He wears a white t-shirt, straight-fit blue jeans, boots that may have been black once but are heavily faded by the sun and wear, and a bright red leather motorcross jacket with a large patch on the back of parrot wings. She also has a matching biker helmet.
the extended cast can be found in this google drive!

It's the last day of June for me and so I have a little queer story to wrap up the month :3
~~
Dino
by AK Lee
~~~
There is a dinosaur on the bridge.
Not a real dinosaur, of course, unless you count the pigeon perched on the handrail as one. I can’t really accept that a feathered himbo with one brain cell ping-ponging around its little bird skull is related to the mighty apatosaurus or velociraptor. Meanwhile, I’m distantly related to a rat-shrew creature that scuttled around trying to avoid being stepped on.
Some days I still feel like a little rat-shrew creature trying to avoid heavy clumsy feet or big sharp teeth.
No, the dinosaur is a stuffed toy, a gray one with dark brown felt spikes and rounded upward-pointing triangular teeth. It's attached to a thin bar on the handrail by a plastic clasp.
Someone did not like it enough to keep it, but didn’t dislike it enough to throw it into the trash.
I slow down as I get closer. I don’t need a stuffed toy, that’s for sure. I have two big Maries from the Aristocats and three small Maries (it’s a whole other story), and a Squash from Plants VS Zombies.
The pigeon is watching me. Its brain cell is probably going 0000000000? at this large human thing stopping next to the dangling gray thing. But since neither the big human thing nor the dangling gray thing are edible, the bird struts away and takes off.
I can take off too. It'll be easy to just leave the dinosaur there. It's not my problem, after all. Cleaners will take it.
And they'll throw it away.
The big eyes of the dinosaur toy are not looking at me, obviously, because it’s a toy, but I feel like someone is.
I take it from the handrail and stuff it into my bag.

Birds are stealing anti-bird spikes and using them to make nests.
Tumblr media
[ID: A screenshot of a tweet by Auke-Florian (@AukeFlorian), from July 11, 2023, that reads:
"Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes! [mind-blown emoji] Even for me as a nest researcher, these are the craziest bird nests I've ever seen. Today my paper came out on this rebellious behaviour. And it's like telling a joke…
A thread." With a spool of thread emoji.
Below are two pictures of a large bird's nest made of anti-bird spikes attached to tan plastic peices, wrapped around a fork in a tree branch. The first shows it sitting on a table with two taxidermy magpies, and a person grinning at the next. The second shows just the nest against a blank white background.
End ID.]
Link. I guess Elon Musk isn't letting you read threads anymore unless you're logged in though -.-
Here's the paper:

Let me tell you a story of something bizarre I did as a tween. My family has a tradition of apple picking every year. Those apples would get packed in my school lunches every day until they were gone, but we also picked enough for my mom to bake homemade pies. My grandpa loved apple pies, so we'd make them and then freeze at least one to share with him when he came back up north from snow birding down south in the winter. There would be a day after we'd brought back our apple haul that she'd get out this mechanism for preparing them for pie. You'd jam the apple through the middle of a group of spikes to core it, then you'd lower this curved part and turn a crank to spin the apple against it. This would peel it, and the peel would be one continuous ribbon. Then when you took the apple off, the core would be left behind, and you'd go slice the apple on a cutting board so it could be ready to go in the pie.
For whatever reason, one year my parents asked me to take the apple cores and peels to the woods to get rid of them. There was a forest behind that house, and my backyard was regularly filled with deer, turkey, rabbits, and one time, a fox. So I took the big plastic bowl of peels and cores, and I went into the forest. Now, my parents likely expected me to find a place to just dump them, but silly whimsical me decided it would be much more fun to decorate. So like a little fairy in the forest, I took the peels and wrapped them around the tree branches like garland, and the cores became party decorations on the fallen logs and ground. I can only imagine how that would have confused anyone who saw it. That was the only time I ever did it, but it stands out in my memory. I wonder if fairies would actually decorate with apple peels.

🏚️ (from stephanie!)
🕸️ > send 🏚️ for our muses to meet in a creepy location as decided by this generator
It's a grove located out in the brushland. It's been there as long as anyone can remember. Local people make a point of staying far away from it. A scientist who went to visit it recently vanished for days, only to turn up hundreds of miles away severely traumatized...
Unlike Batman or Red Robin, Lonnie'd never fancied himself a detective above anything else. It was part of the job, and one he was good at, but he preferred the rush of action at the end of the investigation -- of his work paying off -- more than the work itself.
That was one thing that being Moneyspider distanced him from, somewhat. The web was his domain and he thrived there, with less error than he'd ever made in the tangible world. He spun, strung, and ensnared for sustenance in the satisfaction of himself and those he sought to help and in the satisfaction of taking down or exposing the big-wigs, politicians, and liars that preyed on them. He still ate his fill; it was action as vital and as devastating as any. It just didn't feel so direct anymore.
He missed the feeling of boots hitting pavement. Of swinging through skyscraper-littered skies on his grapnel evading an enemy, of the plastic smell of Semtex and the thrill of scaring the pants off of suits, their frightened faces in the reflection of her mask. So, after tirelessly piecing together the jigsaw puzzle that was this newest case, he went out. Into the dark of the brushlands, just himself with MAX on standby.
The treads of Lonnie's all-terrain chair's wheels made tracks in the dirt behind her, but she was too engrossed in following her current trail to notice. An enticing news story had been floated her way on her message board starring a dazed ecologist she'd contacted for questioning, whose intel led her to a secluded grove miles outside of Gotham. The poor man had been terrified to talk about it, but invaluable nonetheless. She'd researched the grove thoroughly, learning of it's status as something of an urban legend. She familiarized herself with the ins and outs of each species of plant, animal, and purported cryptid that frequented the area -- as much as she could gather, since every researcher or hiker who had dared set foot inside had ended up at inpatient or worse. She came prepared with nose-plugs, covered herself from head to toe, and was armed to the teeth with matches, portable flamethrowers, and anti-toxins. Necessary precautions, because all of this had Poison Ivy written all over it.
When Lonnie finally reached a clearing through the heavy foliage, he looked around through the ruby tint of infra-red night vision lenses. So far, so good, save for a few sitting birds. Flipping open the pouch strapped to her thigh, she drew out her newest invention; a specialty soil meter that would confirm or deny her suspicions. Wiping the silver spiked end free of smears, he leaned over to stick it into the ground, when suddenly --
Rustling leaves from where she'd come, decidedly human. Jolting upwards, Lonnie slipped her baton from the same pouch, pressing the button on its side to snap it into a staff. He tried with all of his might to silence his hard and heavy breathing through his mask, not trying to turn around lest he alert whoever -- or whatever -- had been following him.
He decided he'd let them speak first. After all, it could just be another poor sap, fumbling to his doom through the trees.

Hagging Out- Semtember 2022- Hand Baskets
@graveyarddirt
So as some of you know this month went off the rails on me almost immediately, with my cat Shy passing on the 8th, which is the day after my oldest sister who died birthday, and also childhood trauma, September fucking sucks for me already, so I tried my best to occupy myself with #haggingout but well this probably won't be my best entry just heads up going in, also I wanted to do a separate Autumn Equanox post but lost the spoons so I'm Hulk smashing em together hope that's alright Dirty
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was appropriately overcast on the Equinox this year, also check out my nails I've never had em this long before (I chewer) and this weeks the fist time I've painted em since I was like fourteen! Having em long was helping me detangle Shys fur, she also liked me runing em across her head, so I was motivated to not chew, I couldn't cut em or chew em right after she died so the other day I decided to paint em for spooky season, funnily the last time I painted they were probably black to,
I didn't do to much for the Autumn Equinox this year I was having a pretty bad brain day so I did offerings to the land, to the Horae (the seasons), to the Anemoi(the winds) asking for a wet winter, they've been to dry lately, and thanking them for the harvest I got/am getting,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
that loaded backwards, but fuck it you get the idea, I gave oats and some tea that was starting to go bad, I figure rotting leaf juice is a good land offering, I also finished the last of my solstice/equinox working, I started December 2021 I finished September 2022, whew, and I almost forgot to do it too!
So while I still have some pumpkins on the vine mostly the harvest is winding down, here's my broom seeds!
Tumblr media
The strawberries were in great form this year though if I'm honest there freaking me out a little, back you mangy vegetation! back I say!
And I'm so freaking proud of my broom this year, last year I only got a couple up, this year I got 20 sets of three seeds to come up, we did have an unfortunate bird attack so I had to rapidly cut the seeds down before I lost them,
Tumblr media
Here's a shot before they'd all seeded and rippend, and then got mauled by evil little birds lol
honestly I think my backyard itself is my basket this year, I'm so amazed at the work ma and I have done to it, I told you all in my bed hagging out earlier it was struggling in the heat this year?
Well as soon as the temps dropped a bit the everything started blooming, the butterfly hit, and we've got like forty different bee species, I saw a fucking praying Mantus going up our lattice, my dudes I've NEVER seen one of those in nature! Also ma saw a fucking humming bird at our butterfly bush! Never seen that around here! Also also a humming brid mouth took residence here for like three weeks, I'd seen one up in the mountains once a few years ago got it on camera and was like the fuck is this, and it was so cool to have one just hanging around chillin on all the flowers and really liking the sunflowers that crop up every year,
This backyard was such a ugly waste land when we got here,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We'd moved in October 2017, I worked my ass off that first year getting all that wood bits off the ground to keep my dogs from cutting up there paws on it, there was also plastic crap under it and the dirt I pulled up, and there were these metal things around the rocks I had to get up also a paw slicing hazard, and don't even get me started on the fire pit, I went to move it thinking it was a ring with spikes pushed into the ground oh no these dumb fuckers varied a regular fucking big fire pit into the ground, anyway here she is now:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Only sad thing is the line tree died on us, there was a bad winter followed by fires near by that bolted out the sun a had a film of soot over everything, it tired but this extremely hot summer did her in,
All in all though while I can't fit my whole yard into my hand basket I've got broom and pumpkin etc and hopefully more next year!
I also was able to get a Hekate statue I've been wanting since last year! I spent all month praying over her while passing her through smoke,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And finally, with how upset Mittens has been with the loss of her sister ma and I after discussing and prayers to my Gods decided to go look for a companion for her, I found a pretty 4 month old kitten in a shelter nearby, we've been having her be a little apart so they can get used to each other and we've kept kitten in the bathroom at night, funnily enough we had a basket in there full of stuff and I walked in couldn't find her at first only to see she'd stuffed herself in it around the stuff, we ended up giving her a different basket cause she kept smacking her stomach on the hard rim and they'd recently fixed her, so ouchy stitches!
I've named her Circe, she's the third cat I've had whose name I plucked from Greek mythology
Tumblr media
Does she count? She is in a basket, lol, also took me a bit to show y'all her cause I needed to get her added in to my protection spells,
actually does any of this count I had a little trouble trying to fit this one with where I'm at right now, anyway thank you for the challenge Dirty and for hosting these! Love to you dear♡

Majesty descends!
...this is gonna be a long one, maybe; a lot seems like is gonna happen here. Get yourself a snack, perhaps.
I had a long weekend. Our AC broke, a bunch of our carpet had to be ripped out, and I couldn't sleep in my own bed. What better way to unwind than with our pals So-tan, Mashin, Tsuba-san, and... Agatha. ...yeah, those're not gonna stick around.
Spoilers, I guess...
-Baby Jesus is now literally Baby Jesus.
-I can't get over the fucking name Skearhead.
-Be strong! ...clearly you're gonna have to if Majesty's stickin' around~!
-Whoa! That was a whole sentence right there!
-I see Minoton is still in the opening credits despite having been fired.
-Dai Henshin!
-I have to admit, her poise is quite admirable.
-I think it'd be flat out impossible for her to lie, considering this is a main cast of like 6 people. Literally who else?
-Oh, there she is
-Underg Boss.
-You seem a very sad man, Skearhead.
-Y'know I agree Ageha. Learn from everybody else!
-Hot damn, Sora.
-Senpai Cure...
-The Skyland Hundred Crack Fist is beyond a two year old's reach.
-Tran
-Sition: Have you given this album a listen? Did you love it, did you-
-...what manner of concotion is this, Mashiro?
-Lemon juice...
-Infinite sour hell
-Oh yeah, what does Majesty use to transform?
-"I'm afraid it's fingerprint locked."
-Something extremely marketable that only Majesty can become.
-OH FUCK
-He got Ranborged.
-Not even their own get a say in this process.
-"The princess means nothing to us anymore. It's only natural that we shift our priorities."
-Kick into a punch.
-I have to wonder just how this process works on living creatures. Them possibly dying is something we've established with Shalala, but I like to imagine Underg Energy amplifies all of someone's worst traits.
-Minoton's fighting it...
-Something only Elle-chan has in her.
-Rip it right out of her own heart!
-Oh, hello! God, you are long!
-Majesty~!
-Oh damn, she's got spikes!
-Descend, mystical nobility! Cure Majesty!
-On my planet, this is a symbol of hope.
-Wasting absolutely no time, are you kiddo?
-JESUS
-She's so brutal, I love it.
-She has mastered the Skyland Hundred Crack Fist.
-Seems poor Minoton has yet to escape their grasp.
-Majesty in 3D. She's real.
-M
-Majestic Chroniclon
-BIRDS
-It's like night and day between her and Majesty.
-"Don't run in the house like I'm doing!"
-Hello, Kingy!
-Awwww, Mashiron.
-Damn, even got ancient languages.
-"Gimme~!"
-And now this monument is made of acrylic plastic.
-"There could be demons! Dragons! Demon Dragons! Dragon Demons!"
-They grow up so fast, huh Mashiro?
-Nothing to it but to follow her along that path.
-Doing Shrine shenanigans.
-Ultrawoman Elle...
-Bord...
-The Bull of Heaven comes crashing down.
-Oh, okay
-Sure, put your friends in stolae. ...or I guess in Tsubasa's case a tunica.
-The wall ate them.
-Oh hello
-This place looks like a
-Majestic Chroniclon~!
-Sealed away forever. No more books.
-Holy shit, he just
-Smashed through
-Nothing stops the Juggernaut.
-"Warrior...?"
-Time to go.
-"Princess time. >:3"
-Absolutely love this battlefield, by the way.
-Holy shit, there's so much detail here
-...y'know, suddenly I completely agree Prism's concerns.
-He's juicin'!
-Cure Majesty's will be done.
-Hearts as one!
-Man, I just realized that Tsubasa's still the shortest Cure here.
-Not even as tall as a two year old.
-It's okay buddy, you'll be a valuable member of the Short King Army one day.
-Oh wait, aaaaaaaaah danger oh noooo
-Believe!
-Majestic Chroniclon!
-Take off into the soaring world!
-PreCure! Majestic Halation!
-Purified... for real this time.
-Oh I'm sure it doesn't, Skeebo.
-That nickname, that's gonna stick.
-"I've well and truly lost, Pretty Cure. Perhaps we shall meet again one day."
-Ah, in the credits for real this time.
-Oh fuck Battamonda
-Jesus Christ man, clean your kitchen.
-You sucked, you got fired, that's it.
-Kabaton seems to be scaring you just fine, pal.
-Into the drain with you! It's where you belong~!
-Mashiro-sensei...
-You are a tremendous bitch, you know that?
-The princess loves flowers...
-Heckled by kindergartners.
-Even in their old age, the flowers still have tremendous beauty.
-"Might I peruse your work up close~?"
-Her mojo has been thrown off...
-Oh man, I feel that so hard.
-M
-Monda.
-You plagiarizing fuck
-Moth....
-Here comes Skeebo. Sorry you're still not in the opening.
-Dude
-Here comes Sora-chan~!
-Monda-san~!
-"Wow~! Clearly this is beyond me, but I love the way it looks~!"
-Swingin'~!
-"This is just like the hit book."
-Seeing this man explode into nerves is quite cathartic.
-Suppose Tsubasa doesn't see it either.
-Batta!
-"Get him!"
-Batta :)
-"Underg Energy. Arise."
-"Kyoborg. The power difference compared to a Ranborg made from a model T. rex and a Kyoborg made from a skateboard and a toy disc is, if you'll pardon the phrase, radical."
-"Bye bye :D"
-"Time for war."
-Majesty bitch slaps Kienzans. Good to know.
-"On and on, as per usual!"
-"I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU PEOPLE STOP LOOKING AT ME"
-"So it is."
-Live in fear, Battamonda.
-What an odd visual metaphor you've made, Mashiron.
-His malice has completely been overtaken by his incompetence.
-Man
-What a fun set of episodes this was.
-Obviously Elle completely wrecking shop is the big thing, but there's a lot of great growth for Mashiro that really elevates it beyond a lot of sixth ranger-type intro episodes.
-Baseball Sora~!
-"...what are these based balls?"
