“I NEED MY GIRLFRIEND”
My baby Nico my poor baby 🥲🥲🥲
(Throw back to when neeks got hit in the junk:| )
Tumblr media
I flinch against my seat as I watch Nico go down, “that was a dirty shot” I tell Emma as she nods, “am I allowed to go see if he’s ok?”
“Yea, comon- I’ll take you to him” She says taking my hand and leading me to the lockers. Nico is laying on the ground with an ice pack on his junk, “I’m gonna go save our seats” she tells me brushing her short blonde hair behind her ears and closing the door.
“Hi handsome” I whisper softly as I go and sit next to him
“Can I put my head on your lap?” He asks sheepishly and I nod and he moves to put his head on my thighs, “that really hurt” he groans out.
“I know baby; do you want some pain killers?” I ask him, threading my fingers through his hair
“No, I can’t. Unfair advantage or something like that. I’d be benched for the rest of the game” he defeatedly sighs rolling slightly and burying his head in my thighs
“Bubs maybe you should. You seem like you’re in pain” I tell him; shrugging softly. He sighs against my skin
“Maybe, but I should also go to a doctor probably”
“Yes. You should”
Tumblr media
Driving Nico home after he goes to the doctor is always fun; because he’s either really happy or sometimes. Like today really high. He didn’t go in-depth about what they had to do and I’m a little nervous.
He’s all giggly then suddenly turns nervous like a train wreck, “would you leave me if I can’t have kids?” He asks. Leaning against the head rest, “can we get McDonald’s”
I sigh and tap my fingers against the steering wheel; not sure how I want to answer those questions, “sure baby. Let’s just go home and we can order something” I rub his shoulder and squeeze softly
He stares at me with those big eyes and nods slowly, blinking slowly like a reptile. I let him lean on me as I unlock the door and move him into the kitchen, “bed or sofa?”
“Bed”
And so we march our way to the bedroom, “bathroom?” I ask him and he shakes is head in a no. Laying back down on our bed.
“Can I get an ice pack for my balls?” He asks rubbing his eyes and I put a blanket on him, “pretty please”
“Sure baby, how about some pain killers?”
“Please and thank you” he slurs slightly nodding off. I come back and find him asleep, mostly.
“Neeks, Neeks baby” I whisper, gently shaking his shoulder
“Ja, meine Frau?” He murmurs softly rolling his head over to face me.
“Ice”
He doesn’t say thank you, but nods and tugs at my arm, “I want my girlfriend”
“I know sweetie, I’m here”
He lets me lay with him as he starts to fall asleep, his hand wraps around my back, “that was a mean move”
“It was”
“I love you”
“I love you too”

Syzoth/Reptile x reader
Tumblr media
Apologies for the delay on this one, Outside stuff has been kicking my butt as of lately. But now I am here, I am refreshed and ready. So have some syzoth Platonic fluff !!!!. Word count:1K
Syzoth wanted to show his best friend y/n his Zaterran powers for a long time, He really did, But the back of his mind always feared how you would react.
"Get away from me freak !!!"
"Monster"
"Please don't hurt me"
Those words play in his mind every time he thinks about wanting to show you his true form, It scares him beyond belief when he thinks about it. That an amazing friendship would be broken for being himself. He even had nightmares about it.
Like one time when he showed you his powers and you ran off scared, As he tried to find you, you knocked him out and then yelled many profanities at him. He jolted awake, the cold sweat sticking to his pillow. He was so scared by how you would react.
You noticed how anxious and sad he looked for the past couple of days, you originally thought he was thinking about his family, but decided to check on him none the less. You walked inside and found him sitting by the steps as if he was deep in thought.
"Syzoth, Is everything ok ??" You walked up to him ??
"Oh, hello y/n..." He greeted but looked down again.
"What's wrong ??" You sat down next to him.
He went quiet for a while before standing up and offering you his hand.
"Come with me, I want... to show you something." He said hesitantly.
"Oh, Ok ??" You took his hand, helping you up and then began walking deep into the forest.
"Where are we going ??"
He remained quiet, and he also kept looking down and fiddling with his hands, You sensed then he was really anxious about what he wanted to show you. You could see it all over his face.
"Y/n... I've always wanted to show you this for a long time now, Will you let me show you ??" He looked at you with anxious eyes.
You tilted your head slightly in curiosity but none the less nodded "Ok"
He took a deep breath and stopped, Before transforming into his true Zaterran form, A hulking reptiloid creature, Your eyes went wide seeing him transform from a human form to this form.
He could see it and his nerves and heart started to race, He looked away in shame.
"It is okay if you don't want to be friends with me anymore, I understand y/n..."
"Syzoth" You politely interrupted him "It's ok.."
He shook his head.
"No it's not okay, I'm a freak, a monster, the very being that earthrealmer's and outworlder's despise every second I breathe" You could see tears of anxiety fall from his eyes. He looked so scared. "Just say it..." He looked down again in shame.
You grew sad for him, Not only was he hurt and ridiculed his whole life, He really thought you would stop being friends with him and and you would call him all those nasty words as well, Which was not true at all. You would always will be Syzoth's friend, You cared for him a lot.
Gently walking over to him, You wrapped your arms around his scaley body, Hearing his anxious heartbeat.
"Your my best friend syzoth... I would never call you a monster." You squeezed him a little tighter.
He was taken aback by your kind words and gesture before slowly moving his arms to wrap around your tiny form. "Thank you y/n" He looked at you.
You gave him a soft and kind smile before gently helping wipe away his tears. You then noticed something from behind him. His tail was swishing from side to side gently, He was happy again. This caused you to giggle slightly as he looked over and chuckled.
"It does that sometimes"
"Hey it shows you your happy" You smiled brightly.
"Now I have to ask, What does your true form do ??" You asked curiously.
He perked up and gave a sort of reptilian smile, He was eager to show you his powers. He looked around and then found a heavy looking boulder.
"Zaterrans have increased strength compared to most Earthrealmer's and Outworlder's" He walked over and then lifted the boulder with ease, before then gently tossing it and catching it with one hand, still keeping it in the air with one while flexing his free arm.
"Why do I feel johnny cage taught you that" You smiled and chuckled.
"He might have" He smirked and tossed the boulder halfway across the field.
"Holy shit !!" You were very impressed.
"What else you can do ??"
He then began to form some form of giant green ball from his mouth and then tossed it at a nearby tree, the bark dissolving and the tree gently tumbling down.
"Acid saliva ??"
"It is a strange ability yes, But a very useful one in Kombat situations that are worse case scenario" He nodded.
He then perked up again and began to climb the trees at record speed, Something that you have never seen before. It was an amazing sight to see him jump and climb from tree to tree at breathtaking speeds before landing back in front of you.
"That was amazing syzoth !!!" You smiled brightly.
His tail started to swish a bit faster.
"Thank you y/n, It means a lot to me that I can be my true self around you."
"Hey, Humanoid or reptiloid, You'll always be my best friend OK??" You smiled wrapping an arm around his side as he transformed back into his human form and did the same.
But you also noticed his tail was still there as it wrapped around the two. Making you chuckle.
"And I can also control certain parts of my form to coincide with my human form" He then showed you his arm transforming into its reptiloid form before transforming back.
"Your full of tricks syzoth, And that's what makes you amazing. It's what makes you, you" You playfully nudge him.
He smiled so brightly and turned to hug you tightly, Sighing softly in relief as his best friend accepted him for him, No matter what.
You leaned into the hug and then saw his tail gently swishing again from how happy he was with you. You couldn't help but smile.
Syzoth will always be your best friend, Humanoid or reptiloid.

The turtle and the rabbit
Donnie gets a pet to help with his anxiety
Maria is inspired/ created by @butterflyscribbles
Donnie has anxiety. This is known. This has been known for a while. And recently, Mikey suggested that he get a pet to help calm him, and as the littlest brother – and the family mental health expert – what Mikey says goes.
So here they were, at the animal shelter wearing baggy jeans and oversized hoodies with the hoods secured over their heads even though they were indoors.
Despite the fact that Donnie did not want a dog, and infact was not all that fond of them, they still went to see them first – if only to satiate Mikeys need to see cute puppies.
As expected, there were none that particularly struck his fancy.
As for cats, whilst Donnie loved cats and found them pleasant to be around, he had far too many dangerous things lying around both his lab and bedroom. So a naturally curious cat would probably only heighten the poor turtle's anxiety.
They skipped out the reptiles entirely as it would feel a little weird to keep something that looked like them as a pet. Especially since they were once regular turtles.
And then they got to the small animals section.
Immediately, Donnie made eye contact with a beautiful white and coffee-brown rabbit.
Her ears stood straight up, with the left one being fully brown and the right having some white patches, like a particularly striking bicolour impatiens petal. Her snout was partially covered in a small triangle of brown with speckles surrounding it. And the markings around her eyes made it look like she was wearing eyeliner.
She was beautiful.
Mikey noticed that Donnie had stopped walking and turned to see what he was looking at. As his eyes landed on the small rabbit his eyes grew wide as he pressee his hands to hos cheeks, "Awwwe! Donnie it's so cute!!" he exclaimed, probably a little to loudly as it seemingly startled the poor thing who darted away to hode in a nearby tunnel.
Mikey took a step back as he realised his mistake, whispering an apology to the rabbit.
Donnie, however, slowly stepped forward, crouching next to rhe hatch and holding his hand out to the caging as he spoke softly, "Hey, it's ok, you're safe." And begun to make soft clicking noises.
Slowly but surely, the rabbit made its way from the safety of the tunnel and cautiously sniffed Dee's hand. After a moment that felt like forever, the rabbit softly licked his finger through the gap in the caging. "releived sigh." they stated, turning to Mikey, and without having to exchange words, they both knew that this is the pet donnie was gerting today.
As Mikey went to get an attendant to speak about adopting the rabbit, Donnie opted to stay behind and build up trust. Or something. "Uhm, hi." He started, unsure as to why he was being so awkward even though it is a rabbit. They sat in semi-awkward silence for a moment more. "I'm Donnie by the way, I forgot to introduce myself earlier, my sincerest apologies."
She blinked her large void-like eyes at him... in acknowledgement? He took it as a sign to continue anyway, "If I am so lucky as to take you home, you will help to soothe my anxiety down to managable levels, does that sound agreeable to you?"
She licked his finger.
"Good."
At rhat moment, Mikey skipped back into the room, attendant in tow. "Donnie, this is Ava, Ava this is Donnie! And right next to him is the bunny we want!" He said, keeping his voice lower than usual as to not disturb the skittish rabbit.
"Oh. huh. Thats odd. She nornally isn't this friendly, most people dont even see her cuz she hides from them."
"What a coincidence, I am the exact same." Donnie joked.
Only Mikey laughed, though Ava did do an awkward almost giggle afterwards, so he counted that as a win.
"Um. Anyways, if you fill out a couple of forms for us, you should be good to go! Right this way!" Donnie gave a small wave to the rabbit as they left the room.
As promised, once rhe paperwork was filed, they were free to take her home. "Dee! Wait! Dont we need like rabbit things for her?!"
"That, my dear Angelo, has already been taken care of. I text april a while ago and she just replied." He held up his phone to show Mikey a selfie of April holding multiple large bags of (mostly purple, she knows her brother well) rabbit things, she had clearly tranferred one of the bags to her mouth as she held a thumbs up to the camera, grinning widely around the handle. They both snorted at this, rolling their eyes fondly at her antics.
It took less time than expected to get her into the carrier. Still quite a while, of course, as much as Donnie's presence seemingly calmed the rabbit, she was still extremely skittish and took some time to trust that it was safe. But after some gentle coaxing from all three (and some treat bribes) they managed to get her into the carrier safely.
Since they drove to the shelter in the tank, they had to drive back, so Donnie was drivinh as Mikey sat in the passenger seat cradling the bunny's carrier in his lap.
"Ooh! What about Lily, or Lita, or August, or Rose, or Venus, or–" Mikey was listing off as many names as he possibly could, with how excited he was, you'd think that she was his rabbit.
"Michael. Michael stop. I have already named her. Her name is Maria, after Maria Salomea Skłodowska-Curie, a woman I idolize greatly."
Mikey cocked his head. "I thought her name was just Marie Curie?" He enquired.
"Ah! Well, that is what people typically call her, but her Polish heritage was incredibly important to her (infact she named an entire element about it!), so in order to properly honour her I shall call her Maria."
Mikey blinked, taking a second to properly digest the infotmation. "Oh. Okay! Such a pretty name, don't'cha think?" he cooed at the rabbit in his lap.
"Oh! Michael, do you think you could text the groupchat and warn everyone to be careful around her please-and-thankyou."
"You got it, Dee!"
As they pulled up into the garage, Leo and Raph were waiting for them.
When Donnie got out of the tank, he quickly went around to the passenger side to let Mikey out and retreive Maria.
"Greetings Brethren. This is Maria, Maria this is Leo and Raph." He stated, pointing to each of them as he did so.
Raph crouched down to get a closer look at her. "awwwe hello Maria" he greeted, careful as to not startle her. Maria, however, was pressed as far back into the carrier as she could, ears back, wide eyes daering around the room as she practically panted. This made Raph frown and take a step back.
"I shall take her into my room and keep her there for a few days as he gets used to the new environment. I beleive it would be best to leave introductions for later." Donnie stated, beginning to walk past the others.
On the short walk to his room – or rather their room, he supposes – Maria seemed to calm down a lot. Though she stayed at the back of the carrier, Donnie could hear hee breath slow down.
Opening the doors to the room, Donnie was surprised to find April sat on the ground next to a mostly finished play pen. He raised an eyebrow as she looked up.
"Heya Dee! Figured I'd set up her pen before you came back so she didn't have to stay in the carrier for too long." She spoke softly, looking back down to continue her work.
"Oh, um, thank-thank you that's– I really appreciate it." He felt his cheeks get hotter as he rocked slightly. Damn his self sufficiency.
He decided to gently set the carrier down in the centre of the pen. "Decided on a name yet?"
"Yes! Maria."
"After the scientist, right?"
He hummed in approval.
"Right. Well the pen is done! Do you want me to leave you so she can settle?"
He looked at the rabbit, eyeing April warily at the back of her cage. "Affirmative. I doubt she'd be able to relax with anyone else here."
She nodded, accepting the hand Donnie had offered to help her up. "See ya later, Donnie, love you!" she squeezed his hand as she started walking.
"Yeah love you too. Bye" He replied, kneeling down to open Maria's carrier. After the doors shut behind April, he slowly stood back up and grabbed one of his comics, sitting on his bed to read it until Maria got comfortable enough to leave the carrier.

Hi, River! :)
What's your favourite NIN song(s) my dude? (If I may call you my dude.)
hello! god this is like asking me to choose a favorite child except i think that would be easier. if i was a parent. it's hard to chose only a few faves but it will TRY to keep this limited... (note from future river: i failed)
fuck this is actually so difficult... ok i have to get closer out of the way
obviously..... predictable choice but it's a hit for a reason ok!! it was my top song on spotify last year and i literally only started listening to nin in october. so good... i saw u respond to my post about track transitions and the transition from closer into ruiner makes me go crazyyyyyyy. i love ruiner as well but again. trying to keep it limited..
ok nearly every song on tds is a favorite so i'm just going to highlight a few more and then i'll give other releases a chance 😭
reptileee.. UGHHH. yeah this one just does something to me. the machinery sounds. yum. that guitar bit that lines up with that one machine sample that's playing throughout (3:43 if u don't know wtf i'm talking abt)... and i like the muffled yelling in the outro
there are songs on tds i guess i technically like listening to more but there's something about this one that makes it special to me. it's comforting somehow! the intro is meditative, and the meat of the song is cathartic. i like how we get the same muffled effect as on reptile, but here even the instrumentals are muffled
BURN!! one of my first favs. so good and aggressive. grraaahhhh
ok gonna try to limit myself to one song per release from here on out bc i really do love so many.....
so fun and funky. the nursery rhyme lyrics are a little silly but i love it. also love the part where he just screams
so many good things abt this one... the first things that made my ears perk up were the synths on the chorus
there's just a weight to the sound of this one that i'm obsessed with atm. also, the crunch is real good
ok already breaking my promise but the fragile has so many songs and i haaave to highlight please. underrated as hell!!! hearing that chorus for the first time changed my brain chemistry (<- could say this about a lot of nin stuff lmao)
breaking my promise AGAIN because LA MER...... such a beautiful song. does things to me. has made me cry. whatever........
gotta love only. the beat. the rambling verses. the chorus. the reference to down in it. fun!
i ran out of embeds but THAT WON'T STOP ME...
Me, I'm Not - i woke up with this song stuck in my head once and then i listened to year zero and finally Got It
Discipline - just a banger
Various Methods of Escape - hesitation marks is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
The Background World - i do kinda with there was a version with a shorter outro bc i looove this one but it's hard to put on playlists. great way to end the ep tho
God Break Down the Door - PLAY THAT SAX TRENT!! i also love his voice in this one
OK i'm done. i agonized over this and i still wanted to include more 😭😭 tysm for asking and thanks to anyone who got to the end of this post <3 ily

Swan I promise I'll get caught up on your fanwork soon. Soon as I actually watch these overdue DVDs of The Watchman😉. In the meantime consider this an invitation to do a director's commentary from back when Will Graham was a bird?
please enjoy your viewing of the watchman! don't quote me on this, but i hear he (the eponymous watchman) was in a comic book once...really make u thimk.
oh god okay umm...how do i put this politely for the good people in the audience who have not been following me since 2013. so. ok. so i've long maintained that turning a character into a bird monster is one of the truest forms of love i am capable of expressing. "but swan!" you say, shocked and horrified, "surely you mean turning a character into a WEREWOLF is one of the truest forms of love you are capable of expressing! you have a whole thing about werewolves! it's an expanded universe with hinted crossovers! there's internal logic and now a magic system! you have spilled literally thousands of words that are No Plot Just Describing Midcycle Werewolves and you KEEP THREATENING TO DO THAT MORE." and like. you're not wrong strictly speaking. and i do inflict that aggressively upon my favorite characters. but there is something particularly monstery about the bird monster that a werewolf just doesn't get at.
it's the uncanny valley of it all, you dig? a werewolf is, when you get down to it, a wolf whose instincts are fettered to a human perception of the world—hence, functionally, a dog. a very large, gross, dangerous, infectious dog, in some cases—a dog with hands and fucked-up people teeth, frequently—but it's fundamentally the emotional tension of the dog that i'm working with here, right? the sit and stay and will i get a pat or a kick of things, the what is a pack and what are they owed of it, the animal caught in a little box with the human and the realization of how little space there is between those two things. which is all lovely delicious good food for me, personally, and of course i am capable of making something tangibly offputting out of those compelling pieces.
but the bird monster is a different game. that's a different part of the uncanny valley, and i hesitate to call it a more physical part, but the physicality IS part of it. a bird has warm blood, like you or like me (with apologies to any reptiles, amphibians, ectothermic fish, etc. reading this). it breathes air. it's often social and intelligent. it has a voice—more importantly, it makes music. we connect with these qualities, as fellow warm-blooded social tetrapods. we think, oh, this is a familiar creature, this is a creature i can easily empathize with (again, apologies to those reading this who, like me, are thrown into a tearful cute-aggression frenzy over the japanese giant salamander).
but a bird feels different from a human in a way that a dog doesn't. it's got feathers. it's got hollow bones. it's got an expressionless face and eyes that don't convey the same warmth as a dog's or a wolf's or even a cat's. there are tame birds and domesticated birds, yes, but in general there's not the same cultural sense of the bird as companion animal that smooths the way (or burdens) the dog or the wolf-as-dog.
and it flies. that's fuckin' different.
so it's a different tension there. where the werewolf's sense of alienation stems from the uneasy knowledge that there's gray area between wolf and dog and human, the bird monster's deal is a more classic disjoint. a human is not like a bird. these two things are (or feel) more diametrically opposed. and yet in the bird monster they exist within a single body anyway. the human in you is content to travel in two dimensions. the bird in you understands that there's a whole lot more world if you just look up. the human in you needs the solidity of earth underfoot and the comforting anchor of gravity. the bird in you knows those things for chains and cages in disguise. the human in you tastes blood and grimaces, gags, spits and screams and weeps. the bird in you swallows, expressionless, and sings.
ok so then imagine if it was will graham,,,

The Golden Snake Tooth | Chapter 7
Prologue | Last chapter | Next chapter
Notice/warnings: panic attack, food, fight
▪▪▪
Mister Wolff talked with Snake and Webs as he walked and Snake slithered down the road to the place.
“So, you have six caretakers but the same one just stays with you from time to time.” Wolff said, looking at Snake. “Did I get that right?”
Snake nodded and replied, “Yeah.”
“Are we near this food place yet?” Webs asked impatiently. “I’m getting hungry…”
“Don’t worry, it’s around here somewhere.” Wolf reassured, looking around as he walked. Then he pointed in one dictation and exclaimed, “Ah, here it is!”
Snake and Webs looked at what he was pointing at. 
It was a sign in front of them that reads ‘The Crimson Tavern’ in red lettering. Underneath the lettering was a red paw.
Snake hummed in confusion, looking where this Tavern but couldn’t see it. “That’s just a sign.” he said, pointing at it as he looked at Mister Wolff. 
“It’s down the path next to the sign.” Mister Wolff said, smiling as he pointed to the left. “Come on.” Mister Wolff leads Snake down a path next to the sign that led to a tavern. Webs got a bad feeling as the wolf led the way. 
Mister Wolff had his arm around Snake again as he opened the door and called out, “Hey, everyone! I got a customer!”
Snake and Webs gasped in fear at sight. 
For inside the tavern was a lot and alot of predators that Snake and Webs have read about in the tower.
Snake had his golden tooth covered by his tail as Webs, who no longer felt hungry, hid in his pocket with the small jar. 
Mister Wolff smiled, knowing that his plan was in motion, as he walked in, his arm still around Snake, making him slither in. “Hey, take a deep breath and tell me what you smell.” Mister Wolff said to Snake. “Because to me, it smells like the color black and red and maybe a bit of brown.”
Then Snake yelped as a bear picked up his tail. Snake quickly slithered out of the bear’s grip while the bear looked at Mister Wolff and said, “He’s a loooong reptile.”
Wolff nodded as he watched Snake being jumpy. “Yep, he is.” he said, looking back at the bear. “Oh, did you get into a fight recently? Because you have a lot of bruises and cuts!” Then Wolff at where Snake slithered off to and called out, “Hey, Snake! Come over and look at the cuts and bruises!”
Snake didn’t hear what Mister Wolff said as he slithered by the fireplace. He curled up on the floor and shook as he looked at the predators that were staring at him. 
He was having a panic attack. 
He felt scared alone.
Then he felt eight small familiar legs walk on his tail for a moment and he looked to see Webs, who was out of his pocket and on the wooden floor. 
Webs looked at him with a comfort look, even though she was scared too. “Hey…” she said softly to him. “Want comfort head pats?”
Snake nodded and rested his head on his tail while having the tip of his tail still covering his tooth. Webs went over to him and gave gentle pats on the top of his head. Snake started to calm down after a bit. “Thank you, Webs.” he sighed softly, slowly getting up. 
“You’re welcome, Snake.” Webs said, holding onto the back of his robe.
“Snake,” Mister Wolff started as he walked over “you doing ok? Cause we can take you and your spider back to your tower.”
Snake and Webs look at him, offended. But before either of them could say anything, a voice called out, “Oh, leaving so soon?”
The three of them looked up at the staircase to see an orange red female predator looking down at them. 
“Webs, remind me what type of animal that is. Is it a coyote or a fox?” Snake whispered to Webs.
“Snake,” Webs gasp softly, “that’s a fox.”
Snake hummed and nodded, his eyes on the fox. 
Everyone in the tavern was quiet as they watched the fox walk down the stairs and walked over to the three. 
The fox wore a yellow brown dress with black pants and black corset.
The fox looked at Snake and Webs first, smiling at them. “Hello and welcome to The Crimson Tavern.” the fox welcomed and then she offered her paw to Snake. “My name is Diane Foxington, I’m the owner of this tavern.” 
Snake looked at Webs for a moment before he shook the paw a bit with his tail. 
“Um… hi, Foxington…” Snake started, taking in a breath before he introduced Webs and himself to her. “This is Webs and I’m Snake.”
Diane stared at them for a moment before chuckling. “Are those your preferred names? If so, they’re great.” she said, still smiling at them. 
Then Diane’s smile turned to a frown when she faced Mister Wolff, who gave a nervous chuckle. 
“The Crimson Paw… hi…” Wolf said nervously, waving awkwardly.
“Mr. Wolf.” Diane said flatley. Then she started to circle around him, looking up and down at the wolf as she walked around him. “So,” she started as she stopped walking and faced him with her arms crossed, “where’s the money? Or the golden dolphin? You said that you were going to come back either with the golden dolphin trophy after the heist or the trade money for the golden dolphin.”
“Oh… um…” Wolff stuttered, looking around. “I got… sidetracked.” 
Then the next thing that Snake and Webs knew was that Wolff flipped an empty table that was near them at Diane, picked Snake up, and started to run to the front door.
“Stop him!” Diane yelled as she got the table upright.
When Wolff was about to open the door, a big gray fin closed the door again, and Mister Wolff looked up with Snake and Webs to see a great white Shark with Piranha on his shoulder, holding a club.
“Hola.” Piranha chuckled darkly, staring down and smiling at the three of them.

What is your opinion on the Light Fury, as in Toothless’ mate?
Ok, so I'll start by stating that I don't "hate" her. The Light Fury is a very wonderful addition to the HTTYD franchise (despite what I know a lot of fans would disagree with) and she brought a whole new species with her that I am very personally attached to.
However, everything about her was done wrong. This may get a little lengthy, so I've added the rest below the cut~
Let's start with the glaringly obvious issue: she was made solely to be romance fodder. Her being Toothless's mate isn't the issue here, what the issue is is that she was ONLY made to be Toothless's mate. She wasn't made for a story-driving purpose or to lift any characters, she was "made to be like a lioness luring Toothless back to the savanna" as it had been stated. Basically, she literally has no purpose other than to be arm candy for Toothless and that's where her character immediately started to go wrong. In story-telling, if you're only making a character to romance one of the main characters and that's literally their only purpose, then you've made a very flat character to kick things off and that's not good. If she was made to be more of a driving force for the story instead of a useless wedge in between what was supposed to be an inseparable bond between Toothless and Hiccup, then I think that would have given her character a MAJOR boost alone. However, she's just "The Toothless Girlfriend" and frankly nothing more and is never anything more than that, which is a crying shame because she's not allowed to be her own character, she's supposed to be the thing Toothless makes goo-goo eyes at.
Next up, her actual roles in the movie: aka, staring at Toothless most of the movie or flying away from Hiccup. That's...pretty much all she does in the movie. Her only defining time in the movie is when she saves Hiccup, a minute-long part in the entirety of The Hidden World movie. That is the most development we ever get of her. Anything else is just her being there to have Toothless drool and slobber all over or her taking off and leaving Toothless for dead at the mercy of the "scary humans" but they try to claim "it's true love". I'm not against her not liking humans, in fact, I think it's a good trait for her to have, but she needs to have more of a personality and role than that of a deer fleeing from a spooky noise it heard. We never get to see what she's like when she's on her own, we never get to see her have any real driving roles that's not the very-much-complained-about-already romance fodder, we never get to see ANY personality.
Lack of backstory is another issue. We never learn anything about her. She doesn't even get a name and no, it doesn't come across as "but she's a wild animal and her not getting a name leaves her untamed and natural!" it comes across as poor character development and lazy. How was she captured? Why was she outside of The Hidden World in the first place if this was the "perfect home" for dragons and while every other light fury is apparently down there? Why couldn't we see any scenes of her and Grimmel alone when we could have either seen how he took her to Berk or a very satisfying scene of her maybe kicking his ass? (If she was so dead set on trying to kill Hiccup, why not on trying to kill the actual human who had actually hurt her many times already? Oh right, because boyfriend needs her or something I guess). Any kind of backstory, no matter how brief would have also been a huge boost to her character.
Then there's Homecoming, but literally nothing was done right with this short, so I'll just leave it at that.
As for good points, I really do like her design despite what most fans say. No, she doesn't need to be "bigger" than Toothless because light furies aren't as big as night furies. (I've heard the whole "but female reptiles are usually bigger than males!" argument, but people remember that she is not a night fury. She's a completely different species.) Yes, I like her nubbyness and sparkles. I know it's overly girly, but I'm really diggin' it because not every dragon has to look like a badass death machine. Also, her cloaking ability is super cool. This is only ruined when they decided that Toothless had to be special snowflake and have that for his ability too, which will never make sense to me. Also, she is not a bitch for disliking humans, including Hiccup. She's a wild animal. This, once again, is only ruined for a single factor, and that being that it's almost half of her entire personality with the other half being "The Girlfriend".
So in conclusion, I don't hate her-hate her, but she's the weakest character in the entire series and that's stupid seeing as how she was supposed to be the thing people fall in love with so Toothless ditching Hiccup wouldn't feel as shitty, but they failed at that miserably.

➡𝐈𝐌-𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐀, 𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐒, 𝐒𝐍𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐒. a theory. ⚡ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢ. ᴏᴘ ᴍᴀɴɢᴀ Sᴘᴏɪʟᴇʀs
So, since last week when ch. 1060 was released I've been thinking of something. As I adressed some days ago here. So... Many have said that Im’s weapon was something similar to a spaceship while I do not see that AT ALL. In my opinion that thing looks pretty much like a snake or a dragon. So, many people in the community thought -as well as I did- that that weapon can be no other than Uranus, right? And it makes a lot of sense that Im has an ancestral weapon since what could give them such power if not something that scary? How could they be the king of the world if they don’t have an extremely powerful tool so nobody can defeat them?
Ok, so, let’s say that that thing that destroyed Lulusia was no other than the third ancestral weapon, Uranus. Right? It would make so much sense since we know that Pluton (Ruler of Hell) is buried under Wano, Poseidon (God of the Seas) is Shirahoshi who can control the sea kings and Uranus is meant to be the God of Heavens (Zeus)… so, where should Uranus live if not in the sky? Then it would be logical to think that, that thing that sent 16 destructive (that number is hella important, too. But I will discuss it later) presumably rays from heaven to the earth is in fact Uranus.
Now, back to what Uranus might be: - Pluton is probably a machine since it has plans (those Franky burned and memorized during Ennies Lobby), - Shirahoshi, a person, is Poseidon. - What could Uranus be? Probably a creature. And… do you remember what Roger had on his ship when we saw the flashbacks of him getting to Laugh Tale? The damn EGG that we only saw but had 0 info about it. So, what kind of animals hatch from eggs? Birds, and reptiles. REPTILES…. Snakes… dragons… Oh, and do dragons fly?
Surely they do, right? And… do you remember who lives over the fucking red line? YES, the CELESTIAL DRAGONS… Oh, and what is the celestial dragon’s mark? Yes! No other than “the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon”! That mark used to identify their slaves, as if the hoof of a dragon over their backs was their superiority putting a step over them. But wait… there is more! do you remember Punk Hazard? There were dragons, that were created by Vegapunk… but for who? So… what if VP who works for the WG has been asked by them to create dragons that would be similar to Uranus?
Good good, now let me show you WHY everything made sense now. So, I was scrolling through twitter where I saw someone posted a cropped photo of Zoro and Chopper. That photo came from Volume 82’s colour spread. Let me show you…
Tumblr media
Now, take a closer look at Zoro’s clothing… doesn’t it look like a snake? Somehow like a dragon? And isn’t he looking UP? The light comes from the hanabi up in the sky! Usopp is pointing at it, they are all beautifully being illuminated by it… so, does this reminds you of something? It does for me… I don’t know but you, but what Zoro’s yukata has printed in it seems pretty similar to the silhouette over Lulusia…
Tumblr media
But, you could say, Sashi… wtf has Zoro to do with this? well I don’t know, but we don’t really know a lot about Zoro either… so, let’s discuss what we DO know and why it might be linked to it then:
He is linked to Ryuma in some way. Not only he looks exactly like Ryuma when he was young, but he also fought him and the samurai gave Zoro his Shusui.
Shusui, the katana that killed that DRAGON attacking Wano, for which Ryuma became a Wano heroe.
Zoro, who defeated King (with Enma, let me tell you about this later pls) USING THE SAME TECHNIQUE. Both panels from when Shimotsuki Ryuma defeated the dragon (you can read it in Wanted) and Zoro’s cut King’s DRAGON attack are EXACTLY THE SAME.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
also... for some reason, Dragon the leader of the RA visited Koshiro while Zoro was just a little kid training at the Shimotsuki village… why? Maybe they know something else about Zoro. Specially because we know he arrived to the village all of a sudden (that said by Koshiro to him when he thanked Zoro for being Kuina’s friend)
Cool, now, let me address something that’s also linked to Zoro, and it is about Enma and AME NO HABAKIRI. Both Oden’s swords. Enma, given by Hiyori to Zoro, and Ame being now on Momo’s hands. I have a theory that -of course wasn’t a prediction, but still is related- speaks about this… do you know what Ame no Habakiri means? Feathery Cutter of HEAVEN/ SNAKE-SLAYER. Snake… heaven…
So, we could say Zoro is related to dragons a LOT, and, even if it might be just a coincidence (at this point, there aren’t coincidences in Oda’s drawings but let’s say there are) I wouldn’t be surprised that he used our precious marimo to give us some kind of foreshadowing there… maybe a little hint of his past? Who knows, maybe he will be the one who slays that snake during the ultimate war…?
But wait… there is even more. Let’s go back to the look of that silhouette in the sky… what if it’s not some kind of snake related to Japanese culture but from Mayans? Yes! Do you know Quetzalcoatl? The feathered serpent? Let me show you a little bit of this beautiful creature!
You have the FEATHERY SERPENT (ame no habakiri) form and the God form… also the Temple of Quetzalcoatl in Teotihuacan (moon and sun pyramids) , Mexico (I’ve been there several times and it’s AMAZING)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Awesome so, does this remind you of something? It does to me… SKYPIEA! So, you probably remember Skypiea’s snake, don’t you? And also their architecture… pretty similar to these ones, right?
Tumblr media
Cool. That’s good… now, who was the bad guy in Skypiea? Enel, right? And which was Enel’s power? RAYS! And didn’t he create the “Raigo” (Advent of Thunder)? That ball was pretty similar to the thing that destroyed Lulusia!
Tumblr media
NO, BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE!!! THERE IS A CERTAIN ATTACK ENEL USES AGAINST LUFFY, IN WHICH, OF COURSE, IT DOES ANYTHING TO HIM SINCE HE IS MADE OF GUM… YES, THUNDER DRAGON!! Again… DRAGONS!
Tumblr media
The dragon and snake pattern KEEPS repeating!! This is a plain parallelism with Skypeia (not to mention Nika being first addressed RIGHT THERE WITH FUCKING DRUMS! You know, now we know Luffy is in fact Nika)
But, even if everything looks "similar" we have to get something in consideration... there has been a little bit of confussion regarding those "rays" destroying Lulusia. Many people -myself included at first- thought of them being lightining like Enel's. However, if you take a closer look at how Oda draws lighting you can see how different those falling from the sky to Lulusia are to Enel's.
While lighting is always depicted with zig zag motions, Imu's attak look different. They are straight and have no continuation. (YES, IT IS ODA, IT'S IMPORTANT)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And so I thought of... if those are not lightings... what could be "spitted" by a dragon then (if not fire?) well... do you remember Kaido's attacks? Bolo Breaths look pretty similar, huh? Isn't Kaido a Dragon?
Tumblr media
But wait, please, I know you are actually hating me RN for this… BUT I have more.
You know Enel did manage to get to the moon, right? Yep, he did. So, look what he found when he arrived to the moon? YES, THOSE CUTE CHOPPER LOOKING HABITANTS! And look what they are showing him? OH HELL YES.
A sun with SIXTEEN swirls (swirls that look like Luffy’s eyebrows when in gear 5th), Humans (that look pretty much like Mayans and Quetzalcoatl itself in his God form), probably… Lunarians? An ARC (Noah), Sea kings and AND THAT THING THAT LOOK LIKE A FUCKING SNAKE.
Tumblr media
So can we please PLEASE start thinking URANUS IS A FUCKING SNAKE/DRAGON? Thank you.
Now, I promise I will shut up after this… You know Uranus, the planet? (jokes aside, please)
So Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun (16 rays ➡ 1+6= 7 -also remember Doffy’s attack 16 HOLY BULLETS? I mean that man knows the secret of Marie Joise after all-)… and it is called that way of course because of the God Uranus, but… do you know that Uranus is an ICE planet?
Do you remember where does Im-sama have that GIANT strawhat? YES, FUCKING ICE.
Tumblr media
So tell me… does Im come from the outer space? Which is their connection to Uranus? Do they have the ancestral weapon Uranus? What is their connection? Idk, but I’m sure all of this has to hide some kind of hint.

Ultimate mortal kombat 3 moves
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The tournament mode is a simple 8-player match-up, while endurance mode has you fight as many opponents successively as you can. At the end you may choose a reward which can include character biographies or hidden characters. Story mode has you follow the story of the game, obviously, leading to the final battle with Shao Kahn.
Tumblr media
You can play in story mode, tournament mode or endurance mode. As in the rest of the series, each character has different abilities and powers, and some have been much improved. Naturally, in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, the goal is to defeat your adversary in a one-on-one battle, using an array of moves and attacks, from simple punches and kicks to much more complex and deadly combinations. The roster packs an impressive over 20 playable characters, not including several unlockable characters from previous games or bosses. Wait, did I say 16-bit? I must be nuts! Or maybe not. And hey, if you don't own a Saturn, don't rule out the possibility of an eventual 16-bit release. The new backgrounds remain intact as well.What else is there to say? You know you want it, we know you want it, and Williams knows you want it, so you're gonna to get it. The Ultimate Kombat Kodes are still in place and have in fact been expanded. From what we saw, the delay in ShangTsung's morphs, which have been bedeviling home players, is gone. While not "arcade-perfect", UMK III is pretty darn close. Do you want to play Noob Saibot, the human Smoke, Ermac, Mileena, or the classic Sub-Zero? Does the idea of checking out some new moves for your favorite characters get your temperature rising? Well, how do you think we feel?
Tumblr media
All of the characters and secrets from the arcade version of UMK III have been packed into the disc, so you can calm down now. The kind folks from Williams Entertainment recently showed the staff of VideoGames the work-in-progress version of UMK III, and even at this early stage it looks much better than the flawed Saturn version of Mortal Kombat II. As the game is set on Earth the stages have a more realistic look to them which is ok, I guess, but again it is one thing that makes it less special than Mortal Kombat 2. I loved the stages that were in MK2 and the ones here are very different. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is an interesting looking game. It does though have much of what mattered and that is the returning characters such as Scorpion and Kitana along with more stages. The poor old Genesis just was not able to handle all that the arcade offered. Visually, the game has been downgraded quite a bit from the arcade. The story is actually the same as it was in the standard Mortal Kombat 3, but in all honesty, I see no reason for them to have changed it here. It is a pretty cool story and one that I do like. This means that the game is now set on Earth. This time around Shao Khan can use his dead wife Sindel to open up the portals to Earth Realm so he can take it by force. * Brutalities can't be performed in the arcade version of UMK3.Just like in Mortal Kombat 2, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 once again fleshes out the lore of the MK universe. She will be forever in debt to her friends from Earth as she rules the new realm of Edenia at Queen Sindel's side. With Shao Kahn defeated the Earth is changed back to its original state, as is Kitana's realm of Edenia. Together with the help of Earth's Warriors, Kitana reaches Sindel and turns the Queen against her Emperor. She survives an assassination attempt by the vile creature Reptile, and allies herself with her onetime comrade - Jade. Kitana evades the evil clutches of Shao Kahn and escapes into the unknown regions of Earth. * Brutality: High Punch, High Punch, Block, High Kick, Block, Low Kick, Block, Low Punch, Block, High Punch, Block. Stage Fatalities: Forward, Down, Down, Low Kick. Square Wave Punch: Down, Back, High Punch.Ĭombo 1: High Kick, High Kick, Low Kick, Back + High Kick.Ĭombo 2: High Punch, High Punch, Back + Low Punch, Down + Low Punch.įatality 1: (Close) Run, Run, Block, Block, Low Kick.įatality 2: (Close) Back, Down, Forward, Forward, High Kick.Īnimality: (Sweep) Down, Down, Down, Down, Run.īabality: Forward, Forward, Down, Forward, High Kick.įriendship: Down, Back, Forward, Forward, Low Punch. But Kitana must find a way to reach the newly crowned Queen Sindel first and warn her of their true past.įan Throw: Forward, Forward, High Punch + Low Punch. Shao Kahn takes it upon himself to appoint a group of warriors specifically to catch his daughter and bring her back alive. Kitana is accused of treason by the High Courts of the Outworld after murdering her evil twin Mileena.

had a dream that was the beginning of a video game that sadly doesn't exist so i'm going to share it here so i don't forget about it and perhaps even write more later
so this is a little bit in the future but not too far so not too much has changed right. the character you play as is this kind of doomsday kind of guy who's paranoid about The Government and WW3 and stuff. so he builds a super secure secret bunker in his basement Just In Case(TM)
uh oh! dinosaurs! jurassic park type situation happens near the town and. well. Problems! also these dinos are multiplying Fast. like faster than an animal should be able to multiply.
so The Government(TM) is like hm we have to do something about these dinos. i know. spray gas over the town that dissolves organic matter down to the bone. no need to warn the residents.
so your guy sees helicopters start spraying shit over the town and runs over and starts knocking on doors (risking his life to do this btw. there's still Dinosaurs Everywhere) and is like hey uhhh the government is spraying something on us i have a bunker if you wanna not die. and everyones like dude you're overreacting it probably won't even affect humans just reptiles. so youre like ok have fun dying to Mystery Mist. go back to the bunker and hide for a few days until you're tired of eating nothing but canned soup (you did not plan that far ahead for The Apocalypse in terms of food). go outside with a gas mask and gloves and shit and. everything is dead. all the plants and stuff. cautiously make your way toward the town. see a dino skeleton. yay the dinos are dead. keep going. see a human skeleton. Oh Fuck(TM). knock on doors and break some down. Everyone Is Dead.
have the saddest possible I Told You So moment then open your phone. no signal. anywhere. well that's an issue. go home and contemplate life. but a little bit later your phone starts ringing and it won't even say the number it's calling from. immediately pick up (yay signs of life!) and a seemingly recorded message says "come to the center of the city". try to ask why but it just hangs up. well you have no better option. get in the car and Start Driving. note that your house is on the edge of the town so it's A Big Drive to the center of the city. as you're driving you see more and more wreckage. crashed cars with nothing but bones inside. massive dino skeletons still in the positions they died in (i remember vividly one moment where there's a t-rex skeleton fighting a giant spidery thing where the trex is on the ground and the spidery thing is on a bridge on the highway and it looked really cool okay. i know spiders don't have bones but shh). you have to kind of dodge crashed cars as you're trying to make your way through
and that's where the dream ended :(

OH SCREW IT I'VE GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO
It's time for a Now and Furever lore dump because I am bored. This isn't quite the full story as I intend to add more to it and fix unconnected threads, but I'M TIRED OF POINTLESS FORESHADOWING! Plus I'm not good at making hints hint-y enough to form actual theories so here we go.
So basically Mary Rose lost her husband Rufus in an accident and was torn apart. She adopted Sunspot to try to fill the void, but it didn't work. So she took up robotics as a hobby and this quickly spiraled into her building an android of her late husband and stitching his skin over it to form an approximation of her lost love.
This worked a little too well, and so her memories of the accident were repressed, leaving her with only a crippling agoraphobia. Sunspot had known all of this, leading to him feeling anxiety around both his parents. He told the story to his closest friend, a young albino kangaroo who called herself Premonition, and her only response was "I know."
Premonition retracted into her bedroom, surrounded by hallucinations of the past, present, and future (hence her name,) and is currently still there. Yes, there is a little bit of magic in Now and Furever, I haven't quite worked it out yet so if anyone has suggestions I would be very grateful.
Thanks to this, Sunspot got it into his head that he can't tell this to anyone, leading him to not really talk all that often. His impressionable young friend, Lani, took this into herself as an "Oh ok, who needs to talk when you can say nothing!"
Mary Rose started a secret second business of building androids of dead loved ones in her basement. Her most notable creation was Momo, a project she worked on in her free time- an extinct megalania stitched together from various reptile's shed skins. Momo, who was thought to not be sentient, was quickly bought by a circus.
Things I probably should do:
Tie Amaru into the story. They are a zombie/robot/thing, but I don't quite know their entire backstory.
Do more with Lani, specifically make her meet Premonition and have Athena uncover Sunspot's secret.
Do something more interesting with Momo.
MOUSE DEMON MOUSE DEMON MOUSE DEMON-
WORK OUT THE DARN MAGIC
Anything else you wonderful keen-eyed gremlins can figure out!

ok here we go again.
sooooooo lizard invasion, a conspiracy theory so notorious for being laughably awful, however in one of my story concepts this memorable conspiracy theory become a reality.
https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2016/12/22/monsters-for-grownups/
a link set to me by kyrstie goes over a story of a person believing that the world is being run by lizards.
https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2016/12/22/monsters-for-grownups/
Learning the ins and outs of our Reptilian overlords.
Tumblr media
“This election was a nightmare. As the day grew close, I sequestered myself at home. I would not watch the news, read the paper, or visit any site more taxing then CuteKittenOfTheDay.com. I didn’t visit my relatives on Thanksgiving because I knew that turkey and dressing would devolve into torture and debacle. Instead, I hid at home, baked cookies, and binge watched Mystery Science Theater 3000.
It was of course impossible to hide completely from the fallout, but at a certain point I knew things had gone over the edge. I heard stories of little children afraid to go to sleep for fear that Donald Trump would visit in their nightmares. Like a Golem or Frankenstein’s monster, he was poised to strike. I found out that the daughter of a right-wing family that lives next door to me in Connecticut literally thought that Hillary Clinton was a witch—like one newscaster called her—and was going to fly through the window and turn her into a toad. The candidates were called Nazis, fascists, corrupt thieves, even murderers. Who wouldn’t be scared of them?
I will tell you who: David Icke. For the last twenty-five years, this British, white-haired ex-footballer has been preaching an elaborate theory about who really runs the world. He explains this theory, along with its grim endgame scenario, to anyone who will listen, which means he speaks to thousands of his followers in the UK and around the world. His lectures fill enormous auditoriums and sports arenas. He sells books and videos and maintains a robust YouTube presence.
Despite his forays into archeology and the construction of the universe, and despite his surprising erudition about signs and symbols, Icke really believes one thing above all else: that twelve-foot-tall lizards from outer space rule the earth. When he says “lizards,” he doesn’t mean James Carville or someone who kind of resembles a reptile. He means actual lizards.
Thousands of years ago, you see, lizards came to Earth from the planets Orion, Sirius, and Draco. They were intergalactic usurpers and their plan was to interbreed with humans. Not sexually, thank God—by changing our DNA. Once they had transformed most of us weak and defenseless earthlings into their slaves, they would rule.
These Reptilians are not dull-witted things, like, say, pet-shop iguanas. These lizards are brilliant. So brilliant, in fact, that they’ve shape-shifted into the bodies of all sorts of people you may regard as revered and accomplished human beings. Among the lizard elite, Icke includes the entire British monarchy, the Bush family, the Rothschilds, absolutely everyone invited to Bohemian Grove, the Illuminati, Freemasons, most Jews, the Pope, Obama and his wife, and—inexplicably—the country-western singer Boxcar Willie.
The list is far more extensive, but you get the gist of the awesome power these lizards hold over the rest of us. Because it would be difficult for a twelve-foot lizard to fit into a six-foot human body, the lizards have perfected not only shape-shifting but also a hologram technology. You may think you’re looking at Queen Elizabeth, but it’s just a hologram of her. How smart is this!
Maybe such smart lizards, you may think, would do a better job of running this planet then we have. If only the lizards were dedicated ecologists and humanitarians, we might willingly submit to their rule. But sadly David Icke’s lizards are the bad boys of the cosmos: cannibals, pederasts, Satanists. They’re evil to the bone, like Hells Angels with scales. You really wouldn’t want them in charge of anything, even if most of them, being world leaders, are already running the show (except for Boxcar Willie, who hasn’t had a hit for years).
David Icke has convinced me that things can be, and maybe already are, much worse then anyone suspects. So I’m ditching the Democrats and the Republicans, the alt-right and the radical left, the libertarians and the Green Party, and throwing my hat in the ring with the Ickes Party. The Reptilian agenda is a matter of galactic import; human problems seem small in comparison. The first order of business is to build a wall and keep undocumented “aliens” out—and when we Ickettes say “aliens,” we mean aliens. This is, I’m told, our only hope.
Jane Stern is the author of more than forty books, including, most recently, Confessions of a Tarot Reader. With Michael Stern, she coauthored the popular Roadfood guidebook series. The Sterns recently donated forty years of archival materials to the Smithsonian museum, documenting the atmosphere, stories, and history of various restaurants, diners, and regional food events.”
an interesting Idea I thought of is that story isn’t talking about it from a factual point it’s from the point of view of a person thinking that the world is run by lizards, meaning there could be a very high chance that this is a narrative instance of an unreliable narrator, sure they could be right and queen Elizabeth is actually a 6 foot talk lizard using holograms to make herself look human... or there’s a much greater chance that old man Richard is off his meds again and needs to calm down before he tries to see if a human sacrifice will actually summon a demon.
this conspiracy theory stigma around the concept could in some way be used within the story itself, maybe no one knows or believes it’s happening because of how absurd the idea is.

Harry potter deathly hallows part 2 movie
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kids are all right - and their creator is richer than the queen. There is family, acceptance, and social justice. You exhale at the close of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 as you do at Dickens. Will there be no end to his humiliation? There will. Is shame the key to the whole Potter series? We see Harry prove himself over and over and still wind up an outcast, a victim of his birth and even his own celebrity. Stream Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, watch trailers, see the cast.
Tumblr media
The young actor I'll miss most is Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood, with her queerly fluted monotone. Find out how to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. Goodbye to Maggie Smith and all those royal bit players. Goodbye to Rickman, who conveys Snape's tortured soul by inserting supernaturally longer pauses between syllables. Goodbye to Ralph Fiennes's Voldemort, who slowly evolved from primordial slime but stopped at the reptile stage and is here like a drug-addled rock star in his final days, surrounded by sycophants like Helena Bonham Carter in a fright wig. The climax is fully realized: the blitzkrieg-like attack on Hogwarts, the revelatory flashback involving the past of Alan Rickman's Professor Snape, and the final duel, rich in mythic splendor. Deathly Hallows - Part 2 features his and cinematographer Eduardo Serra's most expressive work, which you don't need to see in 3-D to be awed by. The director of movies 5 through 8, David Yates, goes for deep-toned Gothic horror, which doesn't make for highs and lows but a steady aura of doom. Movie Reviews In Which We Don't Quite Get To The Horcrux Of It Then Radcliffe went naked in Equus on Broadway and Watson went to Brown and dropped out and became a fashion plate. We met them when they were little and watched them go through puberty and have their first snogs. We also need a final look at Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Emma Watson as Hermione and Rupert Grint as Ron. Here's a case where movies can add a bit of magic. In the novel, the climactic wand-off between Harry and Voldemort is notably lacking in grandeur. Rowling, good as she is, isn't a prose stylist: The films put interesting faces to names and fabulous designs to humdrum descriptions. In the epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The opening midnight screenings of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 were completely sold out, even though most people knew the ending. And along with millions I had to know who lived and who got Avada Kedavra'ed as Potter-ites say. OK, I was one of 'em but it was Friday, I didn't have to get up the next morning. No, it's not as momentous a day as the one in 2007, when lunatics the world over queued up at midnight to buy the last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. After a decade of saying it, I might never have cause to say it again.

probably needed to see those anons about age. i cried yesterday because i’m scared of getting older and my life running away from me, and i just turned 18 recently. i’m scared i’ll look back and regret everything i didn’t do, which maybe i should spend less time regretting and worrying and, well, doing things
i think sometimes when u are v young The Future becomes this very big yet also vague yet also immensely terrifying thing that is looming over u perpetually like some sentient & nefarious mist in a B-list horror movie, threatening to swallow the town (your childhood) and sending it sliding down an existential gullet into oblivion. and it is scary because it is so big and you cannot get away from it but also because everyone is telling you all the things you need to gather up and throw at it and fill it with literally Immediately and they can’t be any old things they all have to be Noble, and Shiny, and Important, and Big and Dramatic, and Impressive, and both C.V and Oscar-Worthy and that is also scary because the mist is huge and your hands are very, very, very tiny and no one seems to want to talk about that or sit with you for a minute or 5 to just Breathe.
SO
i am going to make this your reminder to Sit. and Breathe.
and if you are still scared then ok. that’s fine. but Listen: we’re not going to be scared of some vague, theoretical abstraction. so we’ll give it a face instead. now let’s try an experiment: from now on every time you feel yourself panic about  The Future or getting Old ™ i want you to replace it with Godzilla. you're not going to use the word future anymore. i’m banning it; it’s contraband, sorry. you're going to say instead:
"what if i run out of time because Godzilla will show up tomorrow?"
what if i never learn x language or travel to y because Godzilla won’t let me?”
“it’s my birthday tomorrow and now i’m too old and Godzilla is going to get me!”
“what if Godzilla judges me for not having dated / kissed anyone?”
“it’s too late for me to change a career / school / job / hair colour because Godzilla said so!”
etc., etc., etc.
now, it doesn’t have to be Godzilla (i just like adding some dramatic flair bc i have a leo placement). it can be that weird Kool-Aid guy. we can have Snap, Crackle and Pop if you want. but the Point is that now the thing you’re scared of has a face. you can google it and look it in the eye. there are action figures and plushies of it, things that you can now fit in the palm of your hand, or stuff into your back pocket. you could probably get them on a dart board. and it’s a lot harder to be scared of something that you can stuff in your back pocket or throw actual darts at because, really, who’s the boss here? and after a few rounds of expressing your fear of Godzilla or the Kool-Aid guy or the Rice Krispies triplets or whoever it starts to feel a little silly bc yeah....why am i letting a fictional reptile decide if i can dye my hair pink at age 33? literally...it isn’t real.
well, the future, like Godzilla, isn’t real either. we think it is because we always talk about it and imagine it and it becomes like everything else in the entire history of human storytelling where one minor real-life detail gets blown up with repeated telling and imagining and becomes this grand Myth that everyone bows down before. it’s like the shadows made by a campfire and how they loom huge and terrifying until you remember: that weird demonic looking thing is just someone’s shoulder, those gnarled and horrifying looking hands are just some twig, you can put your two hands together and make a crocodile to delight/terrify the toddlers but....they’re still your hands. just your hands. and you can change the crocodile anytime. The Future (a.k.a Godzilla) is the same. you will be fine, anon, trust me.

Fazbear Frights kids incorrect quotes.
;)
Kelsey: *is hugging Sarah*
Devon: Hey! It's my turn to hug Sarah!
Devon: *grabs Sarah*
Millie: *kicking down the door* What do you mean, "yOuR tUrN"? We agreed now is my time slot!
Kelsey: No, It's still my turn!
Sarah: *suffocating* Guys, I love you, but just because I'm the smallest doesn't mean you can be hugging me constantly!
Devon: But we need the moral support!
Kelsey: And you're small! Which is cute!
Millie: If I don't hug you right now I think the depression will kick in and my body will stop functioning.
Sarah: *close to tears* Well- I, I guess.
Jake: Truth or dare?
Andrew: Truth.
Jake: How many hours have you slept this week?
Andrew:
Andrew: Dare.
Jake: Go to sleep.
Andrew: I don't like this game.
Mott: Time for plan G.
Millie: Don’t you mean plan B?
Mott: No, we tried plan B a long time ago. I had to skip over plan C due to technical difficulties.
Hazel: What about plan D?
Mott: Plan D was that desperate disguise attempt half an hour ago.
Mick: What about plan E?
Mott: I’m hoping not to use it. Devon dies in plan E.
Kelsey: I like plan E.
Oscar: I’m telling you, my team is competent.
Isaac, rushing in:Oscar! Raj tried to make pasta in the coffee pot and now it's broken!
Millie: The risk I took was calculated but, man, am I bad at math.
Mick, to Devon: You're starting to forget your Spanish. You don't practice.
Devon: Lo siento. Estoy embarazada.
Mick: You just told me you're pregnant.
Sarah: Congratulations Devon, you're glowing!
Devon: Kelsey's gonna kill me.
Andrew: No, they'll probably make me do it.
Devon: I'm not doing to well.
Mick: What's wrong?
Devon: I have this headache that comes and goes.
*Kelsey enters the room*
Devon: There it is again.
Kelsey: Remain CALM! *slaps Alec multiple times*
Kelsey: I did it! I memorized everything in the book! I'm gonna ace this test!
Millie: Ok, Kelsey, I'll give you one more question before you go. What ended in 1918?
Kelsey: 1917.
Millie: ...You're ready.
Kelsey: You saved me! Why?
Millie: People would think I murdered you if I didn't.
Sarah: Yo! I heard you like reptiles, got any fun facts?
Oswald: If a crocodile eats your dad, they become your new dad.
Mick on Monday: *glues a dime to the sidewalk* Heh heh heh.
Mick on Wednesday: *walking down the street* Ooh hey! A dime!
Rory, tearing up the room: Where are they?
Rory, looking under a pillow: Who moved them? Who moved my children?
Rory: Somebody moved my Sea Bonnie's, and now I am going to start killing.
Kelsey: *runs up to doors*
Kelsey: Be careful, Mick! These doors say "Blast Danger"!
Kelsey: Y'know, I once knew a man who said to me: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” He also had a pair of sideburns that would cause even Jude Law’s face to weep in forfeit. You put those lemons in a sack and beat your enemies with ‘em! And maybe if you beat ‘em hard enough the bag will split open and lemon juice will spray into their eyes, causing intense burning pains as you crush them into a citrus-y pulp!
Mick: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Their heads or the lemons?
Kelsey: Whatever caves first!
Heather: How do you do that?
Devon: I'm fearless.
Kelsey: I saw you run from bees yesterday. You flailed around and tripped over a chair. It was both hysterical and sad.
Devon: I'm mostly fearless.
Kelsey: Last night I found out Devon is a sleep talker.
Heather: Oh, really?
Kelsey: "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell." Right. In. My. Ear. At 3am.
Kelsey: Is there anyone here who’s actually straight?
Devon: *raises hand*
Mick: *puts their hand down*
Kelsey: I am strong! I beat Devon at arm wrestling!
Mick: Anyone can beat Devon at arm wrestling!
Devon: Hey-
Kelsey: Okay, can we all stop saying stupid s*** for a moment, please?!
Mick: Alright.
Devon: Hey, I-
Kelsey: SHUT UP!
Devon: I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED MY SENTENCE!!
Mick: It was bound to be stupid.
