#a bad haircut can be such a form of evil

[bugstung]

(Pretty much) All my headcanons and symbolisms for my EmpiresSMP designs!

With some further detailling about some stuff under read more

Season 1

Pixl: Watchers are not some big bad evil Gods, but astral spirits watching over the worlds. As they See everything, they are often linked to the Vigil (as well as people given the gift of prophecy)

The life symbol was added after his alliance with Joey

Joel: A terracotta statue given life from the Mother Tree, he's flesh and bones (because magic), but him (and all the Mezalea habitants) returned to their statue form when Joel died of grief.

He does have other clothes to work in, but you're practically never going to see him in those.

Some other Mezalea headcanons

Jimmy: Most witches come from the swamp, and he's one of them. They specialize in potions and talismans.

Hair are important to codfolks, the act of brushing or braiding them are used in certain spells, thus why most codfolks don't have short hair.

His appearance is also more wild looking than before because of his slow transformation into a God.

The Cod Alliance gifted each other jewelries to remind and protect each others.

(Pixl and Joel's jewelries are under their clothes as necklaces)

Wizards vs Witches

Coldfolk culture and more

Some more codfolk thoughts

After killing a certain amount of salmons, codfolks get a tattoo of dead salmons somewhere on their body.

Pearl: Similarly to Mythland, they see physical activities and fights as important (mostly for work but also protect themselves from ennemies).

I. don't have anything from Shrub I'm sorry I didn't watch her and I don't know her lore very well

Gem: Gem and fWhip grew up together to be wizards in the Crystal Cliffs, pressured to be perfect by their elders. Gem turned out to be naturally talented at magic, so everything rested on her shoulders.

She still keeps a lot of her strict education, but tries to make a change in the stressful wizard society.

She has a ring to represent the WRA (and another for magic channeling), and lots of scars from magic experiments.

Hair and the Geminitays

Wizards vs Witches (again, but it's important for Gem and fWhip lore)

fWhip: As said in the posted linked above, fWhip failed the wizard exams (he doesn't have any magical powers) and ran away in the newly founded Grimlands. His ingenuousness made him Count of the Grimlands. The Grimlands do not do magic. They mix science, engineering and alchemy instead. Symbols similar to sigils (or those of alchemy) are often seen engraved in their creations.

The deepslate corruption gave him wings, but they were not strong enough to fly so he has prosthetics to help him fly

He's actually quite clumsy, and ended up with lots of scars, and a missing hand:

Joey: (clearer design of his crown, made to ressemble the pharmacy snake thingie)

He bleaches his own hair.

He bleeds gold, and his scars are golden as well from his over use of Totems of Undying

Him being an avian allowed him a easy access to the Lost Empire. He wears the Ocelot print to look a bit more like its habitants.

Also his spit has healing properties.

Sausage: Mythland and Magic

Blood sheeps are sacred, but also feared, thus the fur to protect the citizens a bit from them.

Sausage lost his eyes when sparring with fWhip when younger. fWhip made him the eye prosthesis, and Gem enchanted it. May or may not have become corrupted in the whole Xornoth thing so they did another one for him.

Scott: I surprisingly do not have much for him. His cape can turn into wings. He stopped being able to do that when his ice powers showed up because they froze.

Very strict haircut, elves must be tidy and proper all the time.

Lizzie: She adapted rather well to her transformation, mostly changed her clothes for better swimming. Joel jokingly made her a bracelet to replace her now too small ring "in case she grows again", but she wears it seriously.

S2 Joel has very similar clothes to her because of faint memories.

Katherine: Yeah I fucked and forgot to color her inking, she was supposed to look like this (I noticed too late and never bothered to correct it)

Katherine has this whole "I want to be friends with everyone" that I associate with lambs, thus her ears and hooves. She's a fae with some weird morals.

SEASON 2

I have wayyy less for season 2, especially for the empires themselves.

fWhip: Goblins are direct descendants from the Grimlands (and a few from Crystall Cliffs), that hid underground after the explosion. They kept digging and exploring the caves until they found a place to settle. The green skin, cat like paws and eyes are from them adapting to living in caves.

Food is very important to them, they eat several times a day, and often have banquets. They also kept the Grimlands technique of blacksmithing, but adapted it for gold.

Jimmy: Yeehaw he's a cowboy. Not much to say ngl, I do headcanon him as a werewolf depending on the day.

Tumble Town heard cows, but also creepers (where do you think they get that gunpowder from!!) (headcanon from @doodleshrimpsad). Also, cats are sacred there

Pixl: He's got some magical and futuristic technology making him able to see builds and events from the past.

Got some knees problems, thus the cane. It has sigils on it that he wrote himself based of books from old times (I'm thinking they're sigils from the Cod Empire and the Grimlands)

I desperatly need to think about more about Pixandria, and how tf David (or at least a newer version of it) arrived at the Ancient City.

Joel: Yeah he got top surgery and got a cool tattoo of laurels, but he also bleeds gold and his scars are golden. God don't bow to human rules anyway.

The braid come from a habit he can't doesn't remember getting. it feels important.

Lower Stratos got a lot of rituals, prayers and offering but I haven't figured those out exactly. Just know that I associate s2 Joel with Dionysus a lot so expect similar stuff /sweats/

False: I have literally no idea what's going in her empire, and even less in her lore. The hp name put me off so. Idk. Cool clocks. She got a prosthetic leg.

Sausage: I haven't gotten to his lore part of his videos so idk his backstory. But he does have a cape that ressemble parrot wings because jungle, animals yadda yadda

Scott: He was actually due a redesign that I haven't gotten to yet so.

The outfit I've drawn him in that lineup is an everyday look, while the costume is for empires meeting or exploring.

Oli: Silly bard, his hat has faling strings that reminded me of floppy bunny ears and I thought it was cute. He bleaches his hair.

Got a lot of magic in his songs, people often stops by at his Kingdom just to hear sing and dance. They're a bit hypnotic and people seem to feel better afterwards.

Katherine: That's her monster hunter clothes. She still wants to keep it cute so pink skirt it is. That would be her normal clothes (it's like reverse magical girl, her poofy dress is her everyday dress)

Shelby: I do not have much for her (again), but I can link my Wizard vs Witches post again because it has my headcanons of why witches have academies now.

After all the complicated spells, she likes to do simple fashion magic. Tying a knot or a bow is to seal a spell, so she uses them a lot to do some simple protection spells on her clothes.

Pirate Joe: He's wearing lots of stolen jewelries, some may be enchanted, some may be cursed. Who knows? Not him.

The gold earring come from that belief among pirates that having a golden earrings gives you a better eyesight ( it's from a acupuncture point, and for some, wearing gold in the proper pierced place would help your eyesight).

Katherine did that braid in his hair, and Joe (like cod folks and crystal cliffs habitants), believes that braiding someone's hair means they will fall in love with you.

Gem: I'll have to link back that link about Hair and Geminitays as it got everything I got for her. She sometimes fight with Katherine about hair and its importance. My start of headcanons kinda got crushed because she's linked to hc Gem so idk what to do with her or her kingdom anymore.

Lizzie: She's got her mask to hide her cat face, but her bow is actually a charm hiding her other cat features. The mask is just to be sure.

[glacierclear]

Okay, so I need a whole fucking rant about Leon's trauma from you, just straight up ted-talk, please, I'm begging you, just any though about this topic that's rattling in your brain

oh good lord, anon. im taking deep breathes but why would you ask me this why would y-

im putting this under a cut because other wise it'd be annoying

need everyone to keep in mind that im still in the baby beginning stages of my resident evil obsession so finer details pertaining to lore and stuff i will not be aware of !!!!! a lot of this is probably headcannoning anyways...

leon's entire character makes me so sad but so stupidly passionate. this young, bright-eyed boy who just wanted to help people. being forced into an unending nightmare. the actor in re2r did such a good job portraying his earnest flavor of justice.

the fact that you can tell he thoroughly believes everything is his fault and even if you told him none of it was his fault he would probably just cry and pretend to accept what you're saying but none of it would reach his heart. and he's not even half-assing anything. he wouldn't forgive himself if he didn't do everything in his power to save people, to do his job, and even then, he can't forgive himself when he does...

that scene in re2r where he first meets marvin and is like "there was another cop...i tried to save him...i tried..." and you can see his lips quiver and he has to bite them to keep himself from collapsing in on himself. it KILLS ME.

and even after that nightmare he was forced into being DSO's little attack dog for the rest of his life. he probably thinks that's what he deserves. he doesn't deserve to have a proper chance at life anymore after screwing up raccoon city so bad. and he probably doesn't have anyone he can really confide in...not truly.

any relationship he manages to have outside of work is probably so loveless. i feel like he is undeniably attracted to partners who don't value him. it validates the part of him that thinks he's the reason all those people died.

maybe he intentionally lets himself get hurt on missions. he drinks until he can't stay awake, until he barfs it all up and then he drinks some more. because otherwise his brain won't stop reliving the past. he probably knows he's sexy. that he's objectively handsome. but he's utterly convinced that if anyone knew him. like actually knew him. they'd be horrified and run away. and he knows he doesn't deserve a good life partner. not really. not truly. he wouldn't be able to make them happy.......

that being said he probably loves animals so much. especially dogs. unconditional love that he can very clearly see, reciprocate, and receive. it's uncomplicated.

it's rare he gets through the night without waking up. either by nightmares or panic attacks or some form of "i feel like im gonna be killed" . he probably trains for hours and hours a week. he has to get better he has to BE better. he has to do it for the people who live and who died. he carries all that on his shoulders. and considering how many times he's been infected with bullshit viruses and parasites over the years he's probably convinced he's JUST LIKE the monsters he kills and that maybe, at any moment, he could hurt those in his life.

and to top it all off. for everything he has to go through and everything he has to fight and everything he has to kill for. he has to do all of that with fucking hair in his eyes because he refuses to get a different haircut.

a few things i've noticed about libra men...

to me, they're worse than cancer and even pisces men

they make an excellent first impression. whether actually good looking or not, out of all the signs, libra men always have their presentation together! amazing attire, delicious cologne, great haircuts, etc.

libra men have a reputation of being feminine. this actually couldn’t be further from the truth (even though its ruling planet, venus, is a feminine planet, libra technically is a masculine sign, after all). people mistake them for being feminine only because they read them incorrectly. libra men do indeed have the feminine traits of passive aggression and pettiness, yes, but they are also incels. they hate women with a passion.

they crave chaos. they won’t ever say sorry and mean it because they don’t have any self awareness. they are, hands down, the angriest men of the zodiac (even more so than their shadow aries).

they are THE MOST devastating with their words out of all the men in the zodiac—even more so than geminis, scorpios, and the fire signs.

do not ever try to force a libra man you’re dating into spending time with you when he is tired or in a bad mood. they (like libra and water sign women) like being the manipulators, not the manipulated. you can manipulate him into it if you like, but he will be so angry at you the whole time you can bet that he will do everything in his power to cause a scene and ruin the day or night. this is your form of punishment.

libra men have wayyy bigger mommy issues than everyone likes to think that cancers do. they seem to have horrible childhoods (will smith) and their mothers abused them. they weren’t ever able to move past it (john lennon, eminem). they keep their mothers in their life, but they never get over the betrayal. childhood trauma in adulthood either becomes narcissistic abusive behaviour or the opposite, trying to heal those wounds by fixing evil people.

the beginning of the relationship being blissful is so true. in the beginning, you think you've found true love. as time goes on, you realize that they are very shallow and materialistic as well as amazingly insecure in their masculinity.

libra men's significant others often feel the need to try to fix them and, not surprisingly, fail miserably. some of their women fix them becasue they truly love and want to heal the libra. other women hate their libra and aren't doing it for them, they wanted to fix them to heal their own childhood trauma. but you can’t make bad people good. their more stubborn significant others (read: women) often have to learn this the hard way, which brings me to my next point...

libra men make the best partners for other men. i do think that libra gay relationships are successful because that’s pretty much their only chance of a stable relationship. they hate women with a passion and always will; it’s ingrained in them, they will never love or trust women.

libra men are interesting; they have a sadistic and masochistic streak. they can be really awful verbally (and even physically), but if you treat them badly, you’ll have the upper hand. i stay taking to them crazy and treating them like shit and they never fail to kiss my ass and try harder. they’re like leos that way.

that's all i got

Oh No! Here Comes Trouble

Wow, just wow. I liked everything in this drama. First of all, the main character YiYong, a punk boy with bad grades and a heart of gold, very much like NamSoon from School 2013 (my beloved). Plus, he's incredibly beautiful. Great story, very interesting plot, innovative approach to folklore, local fairytales and tradition, surprising plot twists that are actually made to surprise and shock the viewers, not just some stupid shit done for the sake of shocking, insulting the viewers’ inteligence.  Genuinely funny scenes. I mean, I LOLed. A lot.  WONDERFULLY written relationships between the characters, both as family and as friends. All these old and new human/supernatural connections ✨ WONDERFUL and most importantly RELIABLE portrying of human emotions, such as the maine theme of obsession, but also love, devotion, sacrifice, GRIEF, guilt, longing, desperation.

What I always, ALWAYS expect from any story, whether in book form or on screen, is credibility and logic. Doesn’t matter if the action takes place in space, school or in ancient Rome :) I want to understand and buy the characters behaviour. And ONHCT delivered. Despite the often lightly funny tone of the series and the crime-supernatural theme, the constatnt presence of MOURNING and LOSS in YiYong's life recurs throughout the season. As a viewer, I feel that the suffering is still just under his skin, as well as under his mother's, and only sometimes it comes out in a grimace of the mouth, sometimes in crying. They both keep their emotions under control most of the time, but they're still there. I can see them. And that's great. And the whole series is about that, about the bad things that happen to people and the trauma, the memory that still lingers and affects their lives. I don't know how many series and movies I've seen, where characters go through traumatic experiences, which then have zero or negligible impact on the plot and the characters. I can clearly see then that the traumatic experience was only done to shock the viewer. But not here. YiYong's mourning can be seen in what he says, in his face and behavior, in his conversations with his mother, in their gestures, tenderness, tone of voice. This is so beautiful and moving.

I am absolutely blown away by how drama like this can be created, that has a place for fantastic main characters AND fantastic side characters. In which there will be an amazing main story and equally important side stories, and which at the end can still surprise the viewer. Which will have a complete ending, but which still gives a chance to the second season. Where there will be plenty of room for a honest laughter and equally sincere tears. In which trauma is not trivialized, and suffering victims get their voice and are treated with dignity and tenderness (similar to Beyond Evil and The Glory). In which KINDNESS finally wins.

I love this drama so much 🥺 I love YiYong and his himboism and his beautiful face and his cool haircut and his permanent scowl so much. 💖

Dooma

General Headcanons:

Right off the bat let's get one thing straight as we can, this man is a right bastard, a maniac, a ruthless chump, he's an asshole.

Seriously please let me have a dude who's just plain evil for the fun of it

He grew up in a big family with lots of siblings, actually had good parents who spent quality time with them whenever they could and apolgized in the form of cut fruit.

He inherited that. İn the rare chance that he feels he's gone too far he'll just place a plate/lunchbox of fruit next to them and go 'eat, vitamins are good for you loser'

Once an interviewer said his haircut looked silly, he just smiled, leaned in, and headbutted her so bad her own nose bridge gave her a lobotomy.

Used to be a self harmer, still has the scars.

Had little sisters so he knows how to braid hair, wore his braided for a short while too.

Occasionally babysits Dee, she's learned all the cusswords she knows from him. (Not my hc, it was Emrelda's i think)

The new teeth they gave him has never quite sat right so he can't grind his teeth as much as he used to plus it tastes weird as all hell sometimes.

On that note Refab gave İ.U two years of free spa treatment as a 'refund' for Dooma, he tries not to think about it much.

Vince scouted him personallt playing for lower teams it was actually his idea that he go to refab, it seemed like a better idea than The Oasis.

Okay fun fact Dooma (talkative, mean but nice) is actually a girl's name and so is Duma (silence, resemblance) and Doma (one who belongs to the lord) so uhhh trans Dooma anyone?

He wears Bull's Blood by İmaginary Authors it's smells like a barnyard massacre or a car crash so it fits the brand.

Here’s my next Ninjago design post we got the old Lego ppl!!

Okay so I have so many thoughts on these three.

S1-2 rough designs

S2 designs

S11 designs

Casual designs

Pixal

Thoughts and extra doodles in the readmore

So headcanon 1) Wu is actually an impulsive, hero type. He strives to do right and emulate his father, and even grew his hair out like his father because I said so. He definitely let “son of the fsm” go to his head when he was young. He’s usually wearing really airy and puffy clothes and usually covers his skin. Whilst I think he’s pretty friendly, he’s a lot like pilots Kai in that he rushes into things alone and has a hero complex. Also he’s a little stupid but yknow

Headcanon 2) Garmadon is probably the most thoughtful and introspective out of the three, when he’s on a good day. Mainly the devourers venom makes him really mad and spiteful, even though sometimes he’d snap back and try to restrain it. Garmadon’s pretty buff because he gets all his anger out in training, and he also goes sleeveless often because his biceps are on point and he knows it, also being angry all the time makes him hot. Also he has shortish fluffy hair that he cut once really messily as an f u to his dad. As a kid, he used to be the responsible older sibling to pair off Wu’s more rebellious and lax nature (as seen when he goes to get Wu’s sword, or when he tried to dissuade Wu from crossing into serpentine territory). He was generally a little jealous of the attention Wu got as the little brother, which although technically he was actually the centre of the fsm concern after being bitten, was an insecurity that still manifested itself later on. Despite his curse, he’s actually more competent than Wu, as he has more leadership skills and charisma (I mean mans was a great politician he managed to overthrow both the skeletons and the snakes with mostly just words), and he’s actually pretty good with people when he’s not evil. He also left his father on bad terms, before the fsm died, and he’s regretted it since, which is partially why he took his role as Lloyd’s father so very seriously.

Also I think it would be cool if Garmadon was also weirdly blonde like Wu, because I think the good blonde/bad brunette trope is tired and I really liked Garmadon’s white hair Oni form from the comics.

Speaking of hair, sometime around or after the serpentine wars, Wu and Garmadon had a fight (not that uncommon), but Garmadon sliced off Wu’s hair, because it symbolised their father. Garmadon then realised and felt awful and it was another mark of their crumbling brotherhood

When Garmadon was cured of his evil post s2, Wu was overjoyed to have him back. Because despite everything Wu had always looked up to and admired Garmadon. At this point Wu had been regrowing his hair and he thought that Garmadon should cut it again, but as a sign of peace, to replace the bad memory of the haircut with a nicer one.

Now let me talk about Misako.

First of all design points, I gave her Lloyd’s s8 to present eyebrows because I can :). Also she started wearing the green bandana after s2 to remind her of Lloyd on her travels.

So I am kinda mixed about her. Because she’s an awful awful parent and I’m mostly mad on behalf of the other parents of Ninjago like Ray and Maya. They would totally punt her for willingly abandoning her son.

But then I thought: what if this was really interesting though? So here’s my take on Misako. She’s a pretty eccentric woman who is obsessed with history, and honestly doesn’t know how to be a parent. That was gonna be Garmadon’s job. When she realises Lloyd was the green ninja, she ups and leaves because her immediate response was to research the prophecy more. She leaves Lloyd at an evil school because who knows? Maybe he’ll become evil and then won’t fight his dad anyways. And she really doesn’t seem to care all too much when she sees Lloyd again in s2, or at least she doesn’t notice that her actions had definitely hurt him. She also basically underestimates him, thinking he’s just a gullible kid. Until he proves himself a fighter and works with her to defeat the stone warrior and she realises she’s been kinda awful to him, and does try to work on it. They then continue to have a relationship a little similar to Movie!Lloyd and Garmadon, where Misako has no idea how to parent and it’s still very awkward but they try… mostly. Misako, every a wandering spirit, will often just freaking disappear into the blue on a wild treasure hunt, and show up on birthdays to gift Lloyd a random skull before taking off never to be seen again. It’d be cute if they write to each other though. They slowly build an actual relationship (not like the show where Misako is just kinda there, imediately forgiven by Lloyd).

So that’s my take on part of Misako’s character. The other part I actually have a hard time forgiving her for. It’s her relationships with the spinjitzu brothers. Ik it’s the misogyny writing but still it’s half her character. Like I get it, Garmadon was trying to take over the world but I’m not okay with her in s2 where she basically takes advantage of Garmadon’s trust and emotional vulnerability to betray him, because ouch. Don’t manipulate his feelings thats mean! I could live with it if the scene was just:

Misako: *shows up*

Garmadon: *stuttering like a middle school student in front of his crush*

Because like that would be funny, she wouldn’t be manipulating him, and it would show how he does actually like her and no one is betrayed, Garmadon just loves his wife so much he can’t function like a normal person.

Now for the whole Wu stuff, I rlly don’t like how she kinda flirts with Wu in s2 but goes back to Garmadon in s3-4. And the letter stuff is bs and we all know it. She’s a historian, she’s smart! She wouldn’t make a life altering decision solely based on a poem?? Part of her job is source checking, like I’d bet she’d probably be able to identify whether it was Wu or Garmadon’s handwriting. So like my main problem is wusako honestly (but all power to you if you do!), like I don’t care for garmasako, it’s not my favourite thing but it’s tolerable. The love triangle doesn’t make sense like at least Cole Jay Nya, they have the excuse of being young but the old Lego people? Nah they’re supposed to be better than this cmon.

So my solution is that Wu and Misako do not at ALL get along. Which is why Wu never knew that Lloyd was left at darkley’s. Because they weren’t on speaking terms. Which is why Misako didn’t think that Wu could take Lloyd in instead, or why she never told Wu that Lloyd was the green ninja. Because she hates him. When she appears in s2, they both have this ongoing rivalry that provides a bit of comedy, but they ultimately team up for Lloyd’s sake and also to save Garmadon. They continue to have this low key beef in s3 and s4 which is where it ramps up again, when Garmadon and Lloyd leave them for Chen’s island. That’s when we learn that the reason they hate each other, is actually Garmadon’s fault. Chen convinced Garmadon to forge an insulting letter from Wu to Misako (or some other divisive action that would lead to them hating and never forgiving each other), in order to gain some benefit in their fighting (like perhaps to stop from finding out that he was working with Chen, or to gain power idk). This parallels how Chen works, by making others fight for benefit. Then when Chen reveals this to Wu and Misako, they are obviously pissed. They do make peace with Garmadon and also each other. Then they rebuild their relationship properly in s5 (opening a tea shop together) and s7 where Misako is Wu’s closest confidant. I think they’d stay platonic tho.

Also sorry I don’t have drawings for this I might edit this post with doodles in the future, lol.

But yeah Ninjago

#ninjago #lego ninjago #art #digital art #fanart #ninjago wu #ninjago master wu #ninjago garmadon #ninjago lord garmadon #ninjago misako #ninjago rewrite #technically the Misako part was a rewrite #ninjago headcanons #I actually really like these characters now #even Misako and her dysfunctional relationships #hidden race hc times: they’re all Japanese because that’s the most common ‘ethnicity’ in Ninjago #again like Lloyd: Wu and Garmadon have weirdly blonde hair #blonde Garmadon agenda #pls he looks cool #also Misako could bench press you btw #Ninjago design

Argylle (2024) review

Mr Cavill, you sir are fine class gentleman. But that flat-top haircut is a disgrace and you know it.

Plot: Reclusive author Elly Conway writes best-selling espionage novels about a secret agent named Argylle who's on a mission to unravel a global spy syndicate. However, when the plots of her books start to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, the line between fiction and reality begin to blur.

I have noticed critics have really been harsh on this movie, with as of this writing Argylle holds a 35% review approval from Rotten Tomatoes. It’s not that bad. In fact it’s really enjoyable. Yes, it’s really dumb, but it’s also fun. Director Matthew Vaughn’s latest is gladly a crowd-pleasing action spy flick that is full of twists and bombastic set pieces, that takes inspiration from the 1973 French comedy The Man from Acapulco starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, where the novelist too was getting mixed into their fictional created spy world. Yes, there are an abundance of twists, so much so that if you really look into it there are so many logical gaps and absurd plot holes, however this movie embraces its silliness and simply tries to out-do each twist with another one, as if in a personal race of wit. Some turns are predictable, some less, but it’s all good fun and every time the story threw another narrative curveball I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face.

That’s really what this movie boils down to - it’s an irreverent over-the-top espionage blockbuster that’s a ton of fun, featuring an all-star cast of famous people, most of whom are only cameos (Dua Lipa fans please reserve your expectations), all of whom are having the best time ever and you’re enjoying the ride alongside them. Henry Cavill does his best Bond impression, however even though he’s the titular character he’s actually hardly in the movie. I’m serious, aside from the opening sequence he pops in maybe 5 minutes total in the whole film? Yep, guess that’s your first twist there. Argylle hardly has any Argylle. Nevertheless Cavill as always is a charmer, but maybe wait till Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare to get your proper 2024 fill of Henry Cavill. Dua Lipa does a dance; John Cena’s in there somewhere but I couldn’t see him (almost as if he’s, dare I say, invisible!); Catherine O’Hara excels; Bryan Cranston does the evil-dude-in-a-lair trope with the gusto of Walter White for he is indeed the one who knocks, and Samuel L. Jackson is heavily under-used, acting as only a MacGuffin to give the movie’s finale some extra stakes, though that does fall a bit flat. However the main characters of Argylle are Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell. This is their movie. With Howard playing writer Elly Conway with a delightful spark, but it’s Sam Rockwell who’s the MVP, which shouldn’t come as a surprise as he’s great in these type of sarcastic roles. He gets one of the best lines and moments, and honestly he’s on top form.

In terms of negatives, the CGI is bad. Like astonishingly bad. There are some truly cool action sequences, but they were consistently hindered by the overused obvious green screen which was so jarring, and at times it felt like even when characters were standing just talking that they were still enveloped in CGI. Heck, this movie includes a cat which by the way adds nothing to the plot, but it’s there and for the most part it’s a CGI cat, which just looked daft. Also at over 2 hours the movie could have easily cut off a little fat and shortened its runtime, as it did overstay its welcome a little. That being said this is the most fun I’ve had with a Matthew Vaughn flick since his first Kingsman movie, and it was nice to switch off my brain and simply enjoy a silly nonsensical piece of entertainment. Oh, and the soundtrack choices throughout were great. Can never go wrong with a lil’ Barry White.

Overall score: 5/10

[duhragonball]

Now that you pretty much wrapped up the Baby Saga, I have to ask a question. During your original Dragon Ball GT Retrospective in 2019, you said that Baby is actually a good villain once you ignore that nonsense with the Machine Mutants and the Luud Cult and it seems like you changed your mind on that. Is Baby really a good villain or is he only a good villain in comparison to the other GT villains?

Let me put it like this: Baby is a good villain in the sense that he's thoroughly evil, and he has a consistent motivation to do evil things, and he also represents the opposite of what the hero represents.

I mean, he basically hijacks the whole world, and turns everyone into a population of slaves who adore him. He takes Goku's relationship with the Earth and flips it on its head. Now Baby is the Earth's hero and Goku has to fight against his adopted planet to defeat him. Baby doesn't train to get stronger. Instead he uses the strengths of others, like how he took over Vegeta's body and used the others' powers Bulma's scientific genius to enhance it.

There's also no depth that he won't stoop to. He fights dirty. He picks on defenseless enemies like Pan. He attacks, betrays, and abandons his own followers without a second thought. Baby is either a perversion of everything the Tuffles stood for, or he's actually what the Tuffles stood for, which is pretty chilling to consider.

And he's basically in a position where he has to be this vile, despicable menace. The Tuffles created him to take revenge and Tuffleize the universe. He can't just blow that off and become a farmer. He has to control other people's bodies and infect people with his eggs, because that's the only way he can achieve his goals. The closest he ever comes to doing anything noble is when he decides to kill Goku face-to-face, instead of taking over his body like he did to the others. And that turns out to be a huge mistake, since it allows Goku the opportunity to defeat him.

So he's a solid villain. He is not one of these mythical "good ideas" that GT apologists like to talk about. Baby's whole deal is just a mashup of past Dragon Ball villains.

He's a Tuffle doomsday weapon, like Hatchiyack.

He mind controls the entire population of Earth like Garlic Junior.

He's a Saiyan-hating autocrat, like Frieza.

He was created in some sort of incubation tank, and had to develop into his "perfect form", like Cell.

He uses Vegeta to achieve his goals, like Babidi

He uses the Oozaru form to turn the tables on Goku, like Vegeta.

He absorbs the powers of others to get stronger, like Majin Buu.

A lot of the Machine Mutant stuff is very reminiscent of Meta Cooler from Movie 6.

Again, it's not a sin to re-use ideas from other characters. I'm a firm believer in "Talent borrows; genius steals." The trick, though, is that you have to repurpose the ideas you take and disguise them like something original.

For example, the Androids Saga in DBZ was heavily inspired by the Terminator films. That's no secret; one look at Trunks' haircut and 16's everything should give it away. What makes it unique, however, is that Toriyama didn't just do a shot-for-shot retelling of the Terminator movies. His villains were created by a human scientist (Dr. Gero) instead of a supercomputer (Skynet). While the Terminators were relentless killing machines skilled in infiltration, most of Gero's assassins weren't even interested in killing their target, and they didn't even try to be subtle. All 17 wants to do is joyride in an ice cream truck.

Then you have Cell, who seems like he has more to do with Cronenberg movies than the Terminator franchise. He's an unexpected bad guy from an alternate future, kind of like Biff Tannen in "Back to the Future II," but he has all the powers of strong characters from the past, kind of like Serpentor from G.I. Joe. Did Toriyama swipe ideas from those stories as well? Maybe, but somewhere along the way, he ended up combining so many things together that he wound up with something original. The parallels are still there for critics to notice, but no one's filing lawsuits over 17 and Cell, because it's understood that they're distinct, unique characters, even if they were inspired by other works.

Baby's problem is that his creators just swiped ideas from just one property: Dragon Ball. And that's a terrible way to go about it, because the target audience is already familiar with Dragon Ball, so every time Baby does anything, the viewer is going to recognize it as something they've seen before in the same show. It makes Baby look rather authentic. You see him do stuff and he looks like he belongs in this franchise, because it's consistent with what you've seen before. But none of it is innovative because he's not doing anything new.

Now, if they had cast a wider net, and been a little more clever about it, Baby could have turned into something truly special. Suppose the writers had borrowed ideas from the 90's Batman movies, or "Knight Rider" or literally anything else. You'd have to do a lot of tinkering just to make it fit in to a series like GT, and that's where the creativity comes from. Then, when Baby does something, it's not going to be exactly like a time Frieza or Vegeta did something similar. He'd bring his own unique flavor to it. He'd whip out a gadget from his talking utility belt, and it'd be totally fresh.

I think this is why I like the concept of the Tuffles in general a lot more than I like Baby specifically. When I saw Kamin and Oren in Super Dragon Ball Heroes, I was thrilled, because it looked like someone had taken the Baby IP and done something genuinely fun with it. I think there's a mission in one of the games where Kami and Oren Tuffleize the planet Sadala in Universe 6, and you have to fight all the mind-controlled Saiyans to liberate the planet. It's basically the Baby Saga on a different location, but it still sounds a lot more appealing, because it's not saddled with Baby himself.

I sometimes think of trying to do stuff with the Tuffles in my fanfic, but I've never been able to come up with a good angle for it. There's a good story to be had from the Baby lore, but it's not the Baby Saga itself, because I just finished watching it, and it's a mess.

And I guess that's the trouble with Baby. Is he a good villain? Yeah, I think he clears the bar. Is he a great villain? I don't know if I'd go that far. But good? Sure, especially if you separate him from all the bullshit before his debut. But he's a good villain based on unoriginal ideas, and the execution was thoroughly botched. It's like if Tommy Wiseau put Dracula in "The Room". It doesn't matter how good a villain Dracula is, he's not going to come across well.

OUAT Thoughts Pt.56--Episodes 2-3

I have watched through S6E3; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for anyone further behind than I am.

—That Renaissance-y ballroom Monte Cristo had was so pretty. If I had a house that cool, I wouldn’t throw parties or care about revenge, I would just stay home and stare at the decor all day.

—Regina’s outfit at that ball was lovely. She has the best embroidery on her Evil Queen clothes.

—Zelena and the Evil Queen working together is going to be a huge pain in the neck, I can just feel it. Zelena’s annoying and the Evil Queen is…evil. It’s a very bad combination.

—Belle is low-key full of crap. She never really tried to make things work with Rumple. (Disclaimer, he didn’t really try much either.) She A) didn’t have realistic goals for their marriage and B) didn’t really do the whole communication thing too well. She could at least have the good grace to admit it instead of acting like the marriage not vibing is entirely Rumple’s fault.

—Very cool how extremely normal it’s played for Emma to go to counseling. And I love Hook even more for being supportive of her, and encouraging her to go. Their relationship is actually one of the most plausible, realistic, healthy relationships in the show. I mean, not that I know much about that kinda stuff, but that’s how it comes across to me.

—Why is Monte Cristo so speedy? I know the gist of the original story, but none of the details, so I’m not going to know which traits are derived from the original and which are cool new ones. Which is a lil sad for me, because I love being able to compare.

—I like the Evil Queen’s hairstyle except for the loose hair. When you’ve got a perfectly chic updo, why ruin it with having some hair not make it in?

—Archie is still v handsome. I wish he was wearing more sweater vests right now, but jackets and ties are cool too. I 💖 his glasses, btw. So cute. And he’s a listener. Oh, gosh, listeners slay me.

—Regina’s new haircut is cute.

—Hook and Henry sword fighting with branches is cute. I love that they get to have a good relationship. And I love when Hook gets to show his playful side.

—Monte Cristo makes me sad. He wanted revenge, but not at any cost. When he died, yes Regina was defending her friends, but he wasn’t trying to hurt them of his own free will.

—Rumple’s Scottish came out in full force when he was reading that nursery rhyme for the baby. Like damn, I’m still kinda starry-eyed over it. 

—It’s an interesting take on Cinderella to also have one of her stepsisters be a victim of the stepmother’s scheming. I’ve seen Cinderella where the stepsisters are willing accomplices and Cinderella where none of the stepfamily is evil, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before. Well done.

—I also like that Gus got to go to the ball with Cinderella in his human form. He can eat so much more cheese as a human!

—David’s verging on dumbass here. Seriously, this whole family needs to take a communication workshop. Something important happens? Somebody’s gonna die? Well, no need to discuss with the loved ones, they’ll find out soon enough!

—Speaking of, Emma not telling her family about her impending death is very David-in-Neverland. She’s really her father’s daughter.

—I have seen the light. The light is Dr. Frankenstein x Dr. Jekyll. They’re both kinda mad scientists and the way Jekyll was all ‘it’s an honor to meet you’??!?!!? YES! Plus they aesthetically work, because one looks a little bit more sinister and one of them looks pretty non-threatening, which reflects their personalities. Put them together and they just 🌟vibe🌟 in every possible way!

—Also I would like to point out that Frankenstein is low-grade smoking, what with his blonde hair, mad scientist lab coat, and little bit of dark eye makeup. Dr. Whale? Not so interesting. Dr. Frankenstein? Oh yes.

—I am gonna be obsessing over Jekyllstein (IDK) for at least another week. Maybe longer. If I get some decent footage of them working together in Frankenstein’s garage lab, it’s gonna be a month.

—Speaking of eye makeup, Hook’s was on point in episode 3. His eyeliner just stood out so well for some reason. And gosh does it highlight his eyes!

—He and Emma are finally moving in together! YAY!

Tripling The Havoc

Summary:When you have triplets, every place they would go chaos will follow, not even school would be safe.

"What now?" Dipper, father of three kids groaned, and he and her wife Wendy have been summoned to the school's office room again thanks to the shenanigans of the kids.

"Did Ava pull another scary movie scene as a prank again?" Wendy questioned in exasperation, already regretting ever letting their kids see their parent's collection of horror and/or B movies.

"Thank God, no, but this does involve your kids who are an absolute loose cannon, Ava especially!" The principal, who was a guy in his 40s sitting on his chair behind a desk, explained.

During photo-day…..

"Oops! Sorry! Though, if you ask me it is an improvement!" A girl laughed and passed away Avalon.

That was the queen bee Amely, a french blonde exchange student who thinks she is the greatest thing since sliced bread, who decided she wants to have fun. She ruined Ava's photo day by putting gum on her hair which got stuck so hard that only shaving her hair moved it away. you would think her siblings would come over, reassure her and in a nice wholesome gesture like give themselves a haircut as well? You couldn't be more wrong.

Ava gave a hateful glare after the brat left, slowly an evil smirk made around her lips as an idea lit up in her mind, an insidious idea that threatened her to chuckle like a cartoon villain, although her malevolent hyena face did disturb a bunch of kids who saw that look if she can't have the perfect photo day, then so as the queen Karen over there, she is going to pay ten folds, her siblings who came to comfort her upon seeing that expression ducked away knowing it is not a wise idea to get in the way of their tallest sibling when her gleaming with such insidiousness that it would make even a Manotaur pause in fear with an audible "NOPE!" from Anna as she pushed Ty away to the opposite direction.

As the snob seat on the chair ready for her photo while giving a fake smile likes of which media celebrities wear, Avalon from distant grin from ear to ear, and just when the time was right she touch something on her phone, causing a mechanism above the queen pompous to be activated

With no alarm, a can containing some kind of red liquid fell from up and spilled all over the girl who then looked shocked and gazed at her red-colored hands, she did what any stereotypical Beverly Hills do "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!" which is screaming.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!" Ava's maniacal laughter mixed with the screams of the bee queen so as everyone's exclamation, laughing like an absolute lunatic with her hands in an evil form.

Current day…

"It was just red paint, not even real blood." Wendy huffed, though in truth Ava didn't use a pig's blood like the movie she ripped off because she didn't have any access to it so she improvised which her mother will never know.

"That's not the point!" The principal threw his arms up in the air. "Even Tyrone, who is supposed to be the most restrained of your kids, once paralyzed a kid for half an hour like some karate character!"

6 months ago….

"What is it now?" Ty asked, with his tone he seemed bored, he was shelving his stuff in his closet when a cliché brown-haired jock stereotypically named Chuck showed up with his friend, a brunette named James the first looking spitefully while the latter looked nervous.

"I'm gonna shove you back into your closet for humiliating me!" The jock showed his fist.

"I did warn you if you mess with me I would destroy whatever dignity you have, not my fault you didn't heed my warning." The redhead boy shrugged nonchalantly which only made him mad more.

"You left me half naked in the public bathroom and took my clothes away!"

"And you first tried with your goons to put my head in a toilet as if this is some bad budget 80s teenage movie, don't like the taste of your own medicine? Don't take it." He rebuffed with his eyes rolling.

"Oh, is that so smartass? I'm gonna enjoy stuffing your-"

By this point the only son of Wendy and Dipper didn't pay any attention as he got tired of his tantrum so he sighed, despite his calm demeanor his next action was a contradiction of his calm look which was giving decisive and focused hits between his neck and chest, resulting in him falling paralyzed.

"He…He jus-that nerd knocked him with ONE ATTACK!" The bully's companion exclaimed in shock.

"When you know human anatomy including pressure points, it is easy, and they say biology class is only for doctors." He took a book from his closet and moved away after closing it, leaving the audience flabbergasted.

Present….

"-and don't get me started on that firecracker named Annable!"

A week ago….

Explosion

It was heard in the lab room, thus the principal was startled and dropped his mug of coffee which fell on the floor and shattered into pieces mixed with the liquid containing it.

He sprinted, afraid that this was a school shooting or a kidnapping or something, he moved past the running kids from the lab and tried to calm them down with no effort, when he reached the lab he saw what the commotion was about.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" He shouted at what he just saw to his surprise, thankfully this wasn't a hostage situation or some punk using a gun, instead what he saw was the sights of an explosion in the middle of the lab with Annable Pines and Tyrone in lab coats looking at the explosion the latter with a pair of goggles, a pencil and a note and both looking black from the smoke and disheveled hair as the duo being drenched by the fire sprinkler system.

"science happened," Annable answered him, she sounded disappointed with Tyrone crossing something in his note with a nod.

Today…

"-With safe materials nonetheless!"

"Hey, it is not our fault your so-called "safe materials" can be used for making explosives! If anything, we should be the ones forming a complaint about that!" Wendy said defensively, though both couples had a Deja Vu to when Dipper with his sister and Grunkle Stan fished using explosives and Wendy doing lumberjack kinds of stuff.

" sigh Your kids, though excellent in tests and studies, need to be socially adjusted, other kids are literally afraid of being in the same room as them!" 

One eyebrow came from Mason "Last I heard, Tyrone is in a Warsmith 50k club, Anna has her social group and Ava has a boyfriend."

A week ago…

"Stupid society, 'oh get socialized Ava! it's good for your spirit, humans are social creatures! Inside of every coal is a jew! Blah blah blah!" Ava gave gaged looked at last, whining at her last interaction with her aunt Mabel who advised her in getting more social like any kid she was begrudgingly so she decided in spite to not get another lecture about that to take the easy way and just be blunt, whilst she walked in the halls she randomly decided to choose someone and ask:

"Will you be my boyfriend?

"Wh-what…?" A surprised boy who seemed to be of middle eastern descent was busy reading his notes with his back to a wall to be ready for the incoming exam.

"Good then! Meet me next time out, don't think about ghosting me, or I will hunt you down and feed you to my death worm!" She stated cheerfully and left before the boy in front of her could properly reply.

"Bu-b…what just happened?" He was utterly confused.

Present day….

"That's not the point, your kids are great and all but they need to learn restraint." The principal of the school massaged his face in frustration.

"You try taking care of a set of triplets because believe us, this could have gotten way more chaotic," Mason said, emphasizing with his right hand dragging to his right.

"And I have you know, I was raised in a cabin with 3 of my brothers, so it's not like we would let our kids go wild with no limitation," Wen informed.

"For the school's sake…you better be."

A week later…

The principal let out a breath, it has been a week and no accident or any major fire hazard happened neither from the triplets or anyone, he just sit on his official relax and tried to get a slip from his coffee, until he heard a scream which caused him to spill the drink all over his suit, he had no time to complain about it as he hurried from his office to the source which was inside of the laboratory.

In it, he saw three things:

Tyrone somehow had made a makeshift flamethrower and was burning the screeching mutated plants that have developed a taste for flesh.

Annable with a terrified group of students behind her holding her was currently trying to save an unidentified student from the legs whose half of her upper body was being swallowed by a carnivorous plant as she struggled in panic.

And finally, "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Avalon laughed as she killed every plant monster using a toolbox knife stabbing them while her terrified boyfriend was behind her trying to defend using an aluminum plate that was used for putting samples in it and is now being used as a shield.

PURGING WITH YOUR KIN

Upon seeing this, he let out a groan and dragged his face. It seems to ask for a week with nothing chaotic happening was too much to ask, especially with the anarchist trio involved.

Rachel Maddow Is Filthy Rich And Morally Bankrupt

It must be nice to be Rachel Maddow, haircut aside, I mean. Being paid $30 million a year to work 1 day per week ranks up there with Bobby Bonilla Day, when the former major leaguer, who retired in 2001, get a check for more than $1 million thanks to his contract with the New York Mets. The difference is, Bonilla actually had to do something back in the day to get that deal, Maddow just had to sit on her ass and lie. Bonilla broke a sweat from effort and work, Maddow sweats from bright lights and the stress that someone watching her might decide to look up what she says for themselves. The fear of being caught has to be awful at that level. Rachel Maddow is filthy rich and morally bankrupt.

One of the original mouthpieces of the Russia hoax, this “intellectual leader” of the left has not met a conspiracy theory she has not bought into, especially the ones she pushes. If it involves Republicans, no matter who cooked it up, there’s a chance she’ll at least pay lip service to the idea on a show.  

At least, that’s how it used to be. It’s hard to be tinfoil hat central working only one day per week. One hour, actually, or really only 44 or so minutes with commercials. The illuminati never rests, and neither does Donald Trump, especially with the time difference between Florida and Moscow – those order don’t send themselves. 

But there she is, Monday nights at 9:00, ready to read the equivalent of AOC’s dream journal off the teleprompter. One thing you can say about Rachel Maddow is she puts on a hell of a show. It has as much substance as an air sandwich, but she performs it like a champion. 

And make no mistake, it is a performance. Watch her with the sound off and you’ll see what the Muppet Show must look like to the deaf – the Beaker look-a-like mugs for the camera, rolls her eyes, looks up with a combination of “aw, shucks” and “can you believe these people?” It’s uncanny. 

More than what she says is what she leaves unsaid; what she implies. 

Recommended

Rachel Maddow is not stupid, which is not to say she’s smart.She’s more intelligent than everyone on Morning Joe combined, but that’s like saying someone is just a little bit smarter than a shoe – it’s probably technically accurate, but don’t want to lead your resume with it.

She’s a marketer of herself, a good one. Rachel a Rhodes Scholar, but that’s a self-selecting group; an award you have to actively seek, it does not seek its recipients. And, as Bill Clinton demonstrated, character doesn’t really play a role.

Character doesn’t play a role in Maddow’s professional life, as with most “progressives” it is “agenda über alles,” written in its original German for both effect and accuracy. 

Maddow fully supports Joe Biden’s purchasing of votes fromyoung people with his student loan “for-giving” plan. It’s a plan where he and other Democrats are “for giving the debts of people who willingly made bad decisions, either to attend a college that was way more expensive than they needed (likely to get that institution’s name on their diploma) or majored in unmarketable douchebaggery to people who acted responsibly,” namely we taxpayers. Hell, I’d be one of the world’s greatest philanthropists if I have unfettered access to other people’s money, and I was a sociopath desperate to hold onto power.  

Since even half that wouldn’t fit on the bumper of a Prius, and the truth of the situation does not advantage Democrats, they have to lie about what they’re doing. They have to make it about some perverted form of justice or how evil banks are. And right there, making the case with a smirk on her face is MSNBC’s own Axis Sally.

Maddow delivered a monologue Monday for the ages, a moment of television ranking up there with Baghdad Bob with the tanks rolling in over his shoulder. It was typical mugging coupled with lies about banks. “Republicans are suing to make sure that Americans have to pay more in student loans, to make sure that you have to pay more interest to banks.” 

It’s unlikely her audience, which skews older (like all of cable “news”), has outstanding student loans, so she’s ultimately pushing Soylent Green on vegans. They are the ones being saddled with the debts of others, those suffering from inflation brought on by reckless spending. It’s hard to feel sorry for someone complaining of a headache while you watch them repeatedly bang their head against a wall. 

That they’re dumb enough to believe her is a testament to the failures of the education system. There is, however, little chance Rachel believed what she was saying. She’s not stupid, she’s evil. 

So, as she finished reading her script and performing the side-to-side head shake made famous by Bill Cosby eating pudding with a pocket full of quaaludes, she knew she just lied to her country. But it was a “noble lie,” in her opinion. The worst people always find ways to justify their most egregious actions. “Isn’t that what America most needs, for banks to make more money off people who took out loans to go to college? Isn’t that really, morally, isn’t that a real justice issue for America?” 

It actually is. Personal responsibility and holding people accountable for their action is the essence of justice.

It’s cute to hear Rachel Maddow opine on morality, like getting marital advice from OJ Simpson or discussing how to modernize the postal service with Ted Kaczynski. The other two are dead, while only Rachel’s decency is. Maybe it’s more accurate to compare it to getting financial advice from Sam Bankman-Fried or help on your autobiography from Joe Biden? Whatever the case, she’s a dry well when it comes to honesty. She has more money than God, and the complex to match. Only God has standards and would never whore himself out for a political agenda. That’s exactly where Beaker lives.

the reason nutrek sucks more than old trek is largely down to the format of the show being narrative Vs episodic. like when old trek sucked you could just skip 3 episodes and get the greatest episode of the season. when nutrek sucks you can't skip it because then you'll miss the crucial plot point of spock and uhuras secret lovechild that lived among romulans coming back as a spy (genetically modified to look andorian for some reason) to plant a bomb in the enterprise DD's warp core (that can go warp 14 for some reason) in order to stop the federation from from making an alliance with some new form of alien thats comically evil but nobody seems to realize that until the entire cast of st: enterprise returns to save the day. (looking incredibly old and full of plastic surgery) (tpol is in modest loose outfit to atone for rick berman sins. but now has long beach wave hair with blonde highlights) (one of phloxs wives transitioned to a man now and theres a very forced conversation where he tells a closeted Malcolm that its okay to love who he wants and there's a lingering shot on trip, who isn't dead and they don't explain why) (travis and hoshi are still ignored bc racism). Spock and uhuras love child ends up getting flung into the far future because the graviton waves of the bomb were too polarised and wibbly wobbly timey wimey and she (who is a WOMAN! with a really bad side shave haircut #feminism) has a psychic conversation with Spock (played by timothee chalamet) who tells her its #okay and he loves her oh so very much. and as she infinity war fades to dust (very loud orchestral music playing) Spock uses his psychic powers to bring uhura into the conversation (played by Ayo edebiri) who goes 'wow are you just fading away from me right now? oh okay. well I just got here soooo... see ya I guess. love you?'. and then captain archer (demoted himself from admiral to captain) uses her bomb to blow up the aliens instead and they all get medals of honor for committing genocide bc they were #evil. and this all happens in two episodes

Undertale HARD MODE

Gold’s Take

Undertale Golden HARD MODE

•World lore: it’s the same

•Character appearances:

Frisk: frisk but with some holes in their clothes

Flowey: no changes, prob has some new expressions

Toriel: same

Napstablook: has some headphones on

Sans: mostly the same as ut sans; but he wears some slacks instead of shorts, and some velcrow shoes. His bad time eye now also flashes purple

Papyrus: mostly same as ut; wears a red cape, his battle body is actual armor, and he has a helmet though he doesn’t really like it

Gaster: he is a bit shorter than papyrus, he wears a black turtle neck, black pants, and a gray lab coat over them with a few coffee stains. His expression is basically always tired

Undyne: her armor is a bit more spikey; her regular outfit has her

Mettaton: he is never in his box form, he also always has a different haircut the next time you see him

Alphys: she isn’t as nervous, and she wears some goggles

Asgore: his armor looks different

•Character lore:

Frisk: same

Flowey: he actually guides you through the underground, but he is still evil and is just waiting to steal the souls, though he actually teams with you on genocide

Toriel: same

Napstablook: he is a bit less sad and actually makes music, though his music isn’t that well known

Sans: he acts the same as sans, but he’s a bit more relaxed and easygoing

Papyrus: he was actually able to join the royal guard and is the guard captain’s right hand

Gaster: he was the old royal scientist before being fired due to an experiment he wanted to try, he is also sans and papyrus’ cousin

Undyne: she is still the royal guard captain, and for some reason is asgore’s left hand person

Mettaton: his robot body is a genuinely sentient robot, but mettaton came to an agreement and now inhabits the robot (they share control)

Alphys: she is smarter and less nervous, though the amalgamates still happened and more of them at that

Asgore: he got more confidence to get out of the underground

•characters powers:

Frisk: save load fr

Flowey: he makes vines and pellets, along with healing pellets

Toriel: same

Napstablook: same, now with some music based attacks

Sans: same magic, but he is actually easier having 0atk and 0def: he has basically master telekinesis being the best in the underground; sans doesn’t have kr and instead has jt (justice) which increases his dmg by 1 per someone’s lv (aka lv20 takes 19dmg), he can also toggle jt on and off of someone

Papyrus: he is a lot more difficult often using his floating ability to dodge attacks, and even when he is hit his armor nullifies a good amount of dmg; he also has tennis balls which he tosses at people and shortly after the ball gets swarmed by annoying dogs

Gaster: he can summon bones, use blue magic, and can summon a variety of blasters

Undyne: she can now summon orange spears that bounce off a shield once, and blue spears that need to not be blocked

A Real Fixer-Upper

Who’d want the job?  Aversion to toil doesn’t just apply to most positions at a time when not working is incentivized.  Replacing meddlesome idlers means adding all the tasks they never addressed to a list of responsibilities.  Candidates must factor in coping with facing the shameful state of their workspaces and the country.

A job obtained through an election might be cool on its own thanks to a company plane and someone to do your cooking.  Presidential minders don’t let Joe Biden plug in the George Foreman Grill.  The woeful conditions he’s created discourage potential successors, which is his best chance for doubling the length of perks.

Pondering what replacements will inherit is almost staggering as looking at the debt roll upward.  The most worthy won’t bitch about it despite the seemingly impossible task.  Cleaning up messes left by adult children is the responsibility of those who aren’t merely legally so.

Democrats aren’t big on accepting it at any point, much less when they’re handed power.  One might think those who claim government can fix everything would be thrilled to obtain authority so they can organize society into an efficiently wealthy paradise where nobody works.

It’s going to take an even greater interest in higher interest to cure the disease of devalued currency.  Inflation is a hangover inflicted on others by drunkards.  Spending fortunes seized from others just doesn’t buy enough junk for bribes.  You may be shocked to learn present office-fillers are neither careful with quasi-legal plunder nor skilled at buying anything worthwhile.  Wait for a charging station to open up after your high-speed rail is three weeks late.

The same mentality works abroad.  A stern tone will be needed when telling the Taliban they can’t keep being bad even with the gifts of equipment and fleeing.  Iran is accustomed to spinning centrifuges at will while presuming 87 percent of its economy will take the form of ransom payments.  It’s understandable why Russians don’t want to stay in Russia but still unacceptable to visit neighboring countries without permission.

As for villains living nearby, the only thing harder than recruiting cops after the profession has been treated as the source of evil is the job itself.  You may be surprised to learn law enforcement is actually intended to prevent harm and not inflict it if you’ve trusted media outlets these last few years.  The ensuing spike in everything getting ripped off somehow similarly caught a few incumbents off-guard.

One of the few actual necessary and helpful government roles has been demonized if you wonder why things are a way you wish they weren’t.  A determined fan of both law and order will have to convince law enforcement that they won’t be treated as criminals before convincing the public of the same.

Trump’s Igor was once known for conducting successful experiments to make New York freaking City livable.  Rudy Giuliani took an urban war zone that was conceded to criminals by liberals and took ground collaborators announced simply could never be recaptured.  We can only hope there are numerous aspirants who are sick of barbarians and have a plan to drive them back to the wastelands.

Passive culprits presumed they had to cope with the diabolically deranged prowling the streets as part of residing in a vibrant urban enclave.  Menace enablers refuse to think about how their policy of welding Arkham’s gates open might just have led to foreboding.

Enduing an entire presidency packed with excuses just makes it lamer.  Biden kvetched about job tasks on the first day just like he will on his last.  The lack of growth is a constant theme in his bafflingly charmed life.  Maintaining a routine brings the wrong kind of predictability for puttering dolts.  Our nation’s wise grandpa should brag more about approaching levels seen before politicians concluded they possessed the power to ban you from getting a haircut.

Proclaiming that everything is unfair is the only thriving liberal industry.  Professional pouter Barack Obama whines as a reflex.  Times he announced he would ameliorate were so lousy that he couldn’t mend a thing during two terms.  Please disregard how the charismatic putzing tyrant’s philosophy spurred economic meltdown in the first place.  A similar approach shut down society via diktat before lamenting that everything was standing still.

Things somehow never improve while having the same criminally inept staff.  Most politicians would admit government doesn’t help before they’d retire.  Everyone should respect Mitt Romney for not being addicted to caffeine or an office.  By contrast, Nancy Pelosi voted for Woodrow Wilson twice, while Bernie Sanders took his grandchildren to see the first aeroplane flight.  There’s no other industry where failures are never held accountable, which is a mentality those regrettably elected impose upon every industry they attempt to modify into a wholesome federal monopoly.

Lots to repair could be an upside.  Deft repairers could get credit for refurbishing busted junk that seems to be up for junking.  Remember to thank Biden and his underlings for creating such dreadful circumstances.  Existence will seem worlds better once everything presently making it even more insufferable than usual is discarded.  Ingrates won’t thank the present occupant for his sole contribution.

Democrats who think government corrects everything have created conditions where a Republican successor could do just that.  Overcoming ineptness inflicted by those who rather mistakenly think they’re good at everything is an innovative way to restore faith.

warning: slightly suggestive

11:03pm

“Jaemin, stop moving.” You grumble from your spot hovering over him, putting a stern hand on his broad shoulder. Jaemin isn’t facing you, but he can imagine the pout on your lips and the furrow of your eyebrows as you concentrate.

“Why am I letting you do this again?” He asks softly. His voice is soothed by your gentle touch on his scalp and he can’t sound harsh right now even if he tried.

“You’ll get your haircut soon, and then I won’t be able to do this anymore.” You explain, picking up another colorful hair tie. His head is full of rainbow ponytails that prominently stand out against his blonde hair, the ones towards the top of his head stick straight up into the air. Jaemin still doesn’t quite understand, but lets you continue since the feeling of your fingers playing with his hair is one of the best feelings in the world.

“Done.” You say, sliding off of the bed from behind him and stepping in front of him to assess your work. “Not bad,” You compliment yourself, nodding along, “Photoshoot time.” You say in almost a sinister voice as an evil smile starts to form on your face. The first picture of Jaemin is him staring at the camera, face completely void of emotion which contrasts the 15 colorful pigtails tied in his hair.

“C’mon, do something cute.” You whine, and Jaemin breathes in, slowly shifting as if he’s an old man before squeezing his eyes shut, smiling, and putting up two peace signs close to his face. You laugh and take some more pictures, eventually telling him to stop while checking out your photos. Once it seems like you’re satisfied, Jaemin starts picking out the hair ties one by one.

“Hey, I spent 20 minutes doing your hair, you can’t wear it for more than 2 minutes?” You pout, however your face morphs into a smile that eventually turns to stomach-hurting laughter when you watch Jaemin’s hair stand straight up even though the hair ties are all removed. Even though you’re clearly laughing at him, the sight of you filled with joy brings Jaemin happiness, and for a split second he feels blessed that he can be the one to bring you that small ounce of delight.

Your laughter ceases when Jaemin pulls you closer to him by his gentle touch on the back of your thighs, pulling you between his legs and gently running his hands up past your hips and to your waist. He holds you tightly as he helps both of you lean back and lay flat on the bed with you on top of his chest.

“You had your fun, now you have to repay me.” Jaemin replies, but you’re distracted by his warm hand creeping up and down your back underneath your sweater. While he has you under his spell, he dips in to steal a kiss, not that you mind. His lips are soft and pink and feel fluffy on yours, they have you fluttering your eyes closed in an attempt to savour the feeling better. Jaemin’s other hand supports you as he gently rolls both of you over, laying you down on the bed.

The hand that was exploring your back keeps you close to him while the other runs up and down your thigh, only stopping to rub circles over the skin that’s peeking out of the top of your sweats by your hip. His lips travel wherever they please, pressing slow and burning kisses that make you itch for more, but all you can do is run one of your hands through his hair, pulling at some of the back pieces since you know that’s what he likes.

“This doesn’t feel like repayment…” You sigh when Jaemin bites down softly on your neck, no doubt leaving some marks there, “This feels like a gift.”

“No…” Jaemin hums against your skin, letting goosebumps rise on your skin from the feeling. He stops for a moment to meet your gaze again, this time he has a small smile on his face and you have to mirror it back to him when you see his hair still in a mess, now from your hands.

“... You’re my gift, sweetheart.”
