Can you maybe write a bunch of random headcannons or a x reader for Mandrake? Sorry I'm weird lol.

Indeed I can, anon!! And dont worry, you’re not weird

Hell yes, mandrake stuff!!!!

Mandrake General and Romantic Headcanons

General:

While it may seem like Mandrake has a short temper, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. He wouldn’t have gotten as far as he has being Lord of Wrathwood if he was quick to anger.

He does, however, find a lot of things annoying, and his solution to that is usually to get rid of the annoying thing (said thing usually being troops of leafmen, toads looking to make a quick buck, rowdy boggans, etc.,)

He is opportunistic by nature. If Mandrake sees a chance, for anything, he will take it. This is why he was suddenly more aggressive on the offensive when Queen Tara was to pick an heir to the throne. He saw a chance to completely throw off the scales in his favor and he took it.

If it wasn’t already clear, this man is a family man. He fucking LOVES his family, they don’t just mean the world to him, they ARE the entire world to him.

If Dagda said he didn’t want to keep fighting anymore, Mandrake would begrudgingly come up with a truce with the Leafmen, he cares that much.

Whether he wants to or not is another story, he quite enjoys being a menace and having others fear him.

Mandrake goes through shifts with his son, Dagda, when it comes to commanding the troops. That way they both are able to get proper rest, but it also means that they don’t spend as much time together as they could.

When there is a lull in Mandrake’s offensive nature, him and Dagda will go on patrols or hunting together to catch up. He always tries to make time for his son when need be.

However when he does have free time, Mandrake can be found riding with his grackle, Nightshade, either hunting or exploring certain areas he had never been before, or back at Wrathwood reading stolen scrolls or working on new weapons.

He is curious by nature. If he finds something that catches his interest, he wants to know every little thing about it. He’s particularly interested in human music, instruments and records are fascinating to him, especially if music is on a CD or something like a phone or radio.

He has broken in to Nim’s tree multiple times. He doesn’t just read out of necessity but out of actual interest. He probably has taught himself and his son how to read English so that they can break into Professor Bomba’s house and read some of his books. And just in general harass him, they find it funny to steal his things and watch him fume over himself trying to figure out where they went.

Unlike the leafmen, they made it a point to mess with the human as much as possible. It became a game to see who could steal the most stuff without him noticing. Dagda currently has a streak.

While he doesn’t as much anymore, Mandrake loves to just in general mess with others. It is his form of entertainment.

Mandrake and Ronin have a serious score to settle between the two yet no one really knows why. Ronin won’t talk about it, especially after Tara’s death, and Mandrake will only allude to it in passing. The only people who know why is Ronin’s second in command, Finn, Nim Galuu, the late Queen Tara, and one of Mandrake’s closest confidantes, a boggan named Weevil.

Mandrake is a lot stronger than others give him credit for. That scene where he brought down a huge oak tree single handedly from meters away? Yeah, that’s not just a one-off feat of strength. That’s barely a taste.

For all his cruelties and reputation as a feared warlord, this man has a soft side and the common person will see it when he is around kids.

He loves children. He can’t resist being soft for a child and is really gentle with infants. If he could, he’d have a whole litter of them, he loved being a father and adores just being around kids.

He makes it a point to never harm a child directly, and he makes sure that the rest of his army knows the consequences if they do so.

Romantic:

I mentioned that Mandrake is very family orientated. This also applies to his partner. If you aren’t just a fling and you and him are together, this man is the definition of devoted husband.

When I say devoted, I mean D E V O T E D. Just say the word and he will be leveling the entire forest for you. Please say the word. Just give him the excuse to do it. Don’t ever joke about it because he will take any chance he can to burn the forest to the ground with glee.

In a relationship with him, there is noone above the other. The two of you are equals, both in public, in private, and in power among the hoard. Your word means just as much if not more than Mandrake’s, only because Mandrake has a pension for punishing those who disobey his partner. The boggans hope you’re the more agreeable of the two, because if you say “No you cannot kill another boggan just because they forgot to go on patrol like I told them to,” then everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.

That being said, your relationship is built on trust and honesty, so there is a LOT of leeway for teasing. So much of it. If it wasn’t for your relationship, it would seem mean, but he never means any of it and neither do you.

If anything either of you do or say crosses a line, there is no shame in telling the other so, boundaries and limits are always respected, and “no” will usually never need to be repeated.

The only exception will come to affairs with the leafmen. You will have to be very firm if you ever disagree with him in those matters. It might irritate him, but he isn’t mad for long. Even if you do argue. He firmly believes in not going to bed angry and he will be open to talking to you about whatever the issue at hand is.

He loves to make you flustered. Especially if he has to work hard for it, it makes the sight of you blushing even more satisfying.

Challenge him. Physically, intellectually, emotionally, playfully, he does not like anything easy and he doesn’t find complete submission interesting. It actually makes him uncomfortable. If there is a set power dynamic between you two, be a brat. It’s more fun for the both of you.

There is one hard line that Mandrake doesn’t break: You have to get along with his son. If you and Dagda don’t get along, sorry, he’s not interested.

Though, it’s very hard not to get along with Dagda, he’s generally fun to be around and you’d most likely be best friends with him if you hadn’t gotten with Mandrake when Dagda was a child.

Expect a lot of roughhousing. Whether it’s you and Mandrake, Mandrake and Dagda, whatever, this man is like a cat and will pounce on you without warning for an impromptu wrestling sesh. Sometimes its playful, other times it’s like trying to run away from a dog who is set on trying to tackle you.

While Mandrake is busy, very busy, usually, when he has down time he is always with you. He hates being away from you for long and gets extremely clingy. Depending on how much time away you spend from him, he might not let you out of his sight and will follow you around.

He will make excuses, though. Saying he has nothing better to do or that he has free-time. That’s a lie, he is purposefully skirting his usual responsibilities just so he can refill his “you time” meter.

He lives off of domestic moments, but he can pull out the romantic in him. Solo flights with you at night, finding a clearing and just lying down in the grass to watch the stars, bringing you trinkets and gifts that he had found on patrol, wait the gifts—THE GIFTS!

He is ALWAYS trying to bring you stuff. It could be stomper jewelry he found, something he stole from the Jinn, weapons, furs, fresh kills, cool bones or rocks, he is like a crow and he wants to show you all the near little things he found. Hang them up on the walls or shelves of your chambers or wear them and he will puff up in pride.

If you show in an interest in something, he is going out of his way to try and find every little thing that fits that interest. He can have a one track mind so you might have to keep him on a leash and tell him he cant just break into a stomper’s house and steal their stuff.

There are no secrets between you two. If there were, they aren’t kept for long. Mandrake doesn’t like gossip, but he makes an exception for you. The two of you will gossip like teenage girls but then never say a word to anyone else.

If you couldn’t fight before, that’s fixed within the week. Sparring is his version of a date night so you pick up very quickly how to at the very least fend off your partner. And if you can hold your own against Mandrake, you don’t really need to worry about anyone else.

But lord forbid if anyone hurts you. There isn’t anything, leafmen and nature be damned, that will get in his way once he finds out who dared to lay a hand on you in malice. He will make an example of them, and it will give him a lot of pride if you are happy to watch.

By himself, Mandrake is the most feared being in the forests of Moonhaven. By yourself, you might as well have the power to take over not only Moonhaven but the rest of the surrounding forests if you so pleased. But by each other’s side?

Ronin needs to be careful. Upsetting you just gives Mandrake the “go ahead” to raise living hell upon the forest.

You occasionally will turn around and see Mandrake gazing at you with the softest and warmest look in his eyes. You mean everything to him, you are his family, his world, and he would do anything for you if you allowed it.

Call him a sap, he won’t deny it.

MK aka Mary Katherine

Some time ago I decided to rewrite the movie ''Epic'' from 2013.

I already explained why I decided to cut out the humans and everything related to them from the plot.

To give a quick recap, the movie was too cluttered. Two stories constantly battle for space, and in the end, none of them got any good development.

I decided to focus on a magical forest and the people living in it because it's just more interesting and I got a lot of ideas for it.

But I feel sorry for abandoning human characters, so I decided to dedicate this post to explaining why their part of the story didn't work and how to fix it.

Let's start with the main heroine's design. It's a great way to get a just of her personality. From the early concept art, it looks like MK went through a lot of changes in personality. From shy and closed off to more rebellious and emo-looking.

In the end, they settled on one of the most boring characters in fiction I've ever encountered.

She starts the movie off sad that her mom died. Being awkward around her father. Then she gets shrunk, the pod sticks to her, and gets dragged around from place to place by other characters so they can exposition the lore and their backstories to her (and to the audience). Together with her father, they save the forest and that rekindles their relationship, and she is somehow over her mother's death.

Let's not forget how MK actually gets wrapped into the war over the forest. And now we get to the second biggest problem with the movie, implications instead of an actual plot.

Mary Katherine apparently decided to run away almost immediately after getting to her father's home. I say ''apparently'' because she never even gets to run away or do anything else.

Her dad, Professor Bomba, gets distracted because his cameras are detecting Leafmans and Boggans fighting. He asked her if it was okay for him to go. She said yes. The next thing she does is write a note that she runs away.

I presume cause we never get to see what she actually wrote. Was she planning on staying with a friend? Would she rather be homeless than stay with her dad?

But Ozzi, the family pet pug, runs away first, so Mary goes to look for him. She finds dying Queen Tara, and her adventure begins.

During the adventure, the protagonist is supposed to undergo some development. But Mary Katherine doesn’t grow as a person at all. She does grow back to her normal size but not in character.

Nim Galuu asked her, if she wants to get back home so bad then why did she leave it in the first place. The movie even left a pause there, so MK and the audience can ponder this deep question.

But it has nothing to do with anything. As previously mentioned, she didn't even get to run away, she went into the forest which is practically her backyard looking for her dog.

The message of ‘’don’t run away from home kids’' loses its meaning when the protagonist's home is right next to her and she herself is almost an adult. Is she supposed to stay inside all the time because anytime lightning can strike her?

Nim also is impressed with MK's selflessness, because ''Who would endanger their own life to help someone else's kingdom?''

Unfortunately, MK doesn't help 100% willingly. She was shrunk by Tara, against her will, because she was the closest person. If later in the movie MK was presented with the opportunity to grow back but refused so she can help then it would make sense. But as it stands, she goes with what everybody tells her to do. She doesn't know anybody or anything. Her only option to be normal again is to stick around and hope for the answer along the way.

Also, that ''someone else's kingdom'' is the forest next to her home. If she doesn't help either all the greenery on Earth will die or the general area around her home will be a wasteland.

Nim Galuu is the worst character. Even worse than the snail and the slug. They're just comedic reliefs. He is supposed to be the old, wise, and all-knowing character who teaches and helps other characters. But all his lessons have nothing to do with the story. They're pretentious and in the context of the plot pretty dumb.

Back to Mary Katherine!

She is already nice and empathetic, going by her interaction with Tara. It's not like ''The Ant Bully'' where the main character learns to respect small creatures.

Well, besides Boggans. MK said she's going to come back to their home with a bug spray. She also created a Boggan plushie for Ozzi. So, when he finds any Boggans in the woods, he will most likely kill them. And it's all treated like a joke. But they're evil so it's fine. (Can you tell I don't like it?)

Besides those accidental psychopathic moments, she's boring and plane.

Her romance with Nod is boring. I used to be glad the movie doesn't do the ''we hate each other and bicker but then fall in love''. But now I wish they did. Nod gives her a ride on a caliber and then a ride on a deer. They have the '''hold me tight'' catchphrase. What can you expect when the whole story happens in just a day? At least their kiss is pretty romantic.

Professor Bomba is just your standard crazy scientist who isn't so crazy after all because he was right all along. What makes him more unique is that before he devoted his life to his research he actually got married and had a child. Again, we don't know why he and his wife split up but it's implied that his obsession become too much to handle or he was just neglectful, caring more about finding the little people.

Side note, him being right about the existence of the Leafman doesn't make it okay for him to abandon his wife and daughter.

Part of me wishes he was the one who got shrunk. He's the one that actually wants to meet them. Him interacting with everybody and asking about everything. Think Milo from the ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire''.

I’m from Poland and we have an adult cartoon named ‘‘Captain Bomba’‘. It's all I can think about it when I hear his surname.

Pre-Incan Site for Ancestor Worship Found in Peru

A team of Peruvian and Japanese archaeologists has unearthed a pre-Hispanic archaeological site in northern Peru dedicated to ancestor worship, with burial chambers, human remains and ceramic offerings.

"We have discovered an archaeological site of the Wari period with an antiquity of between 800 to 1000 years AD" in the Cajamarca region 900 kilometers (560 miles) north of Lima, Japanese archaeologist Shinya Watanabe told AFP on Saturday.

"Two burial chambers with pits for placing mummies and offerings to the ancestors were found at the site," the expert said.

Each of the burial chambers contains two levels, and both have five niches in the walls that contain offerings such as mollusk shells, ceramic fragments and a tripod dish with three conical supports.

"It is a great find because the archaeologists were looking for evidence of the Wari culture," said Watanabe, who is a professor at Nanzan University in Japan.

A bundle containing a female character, a black Wari ceremonial vessel, two musical ceramic wind instruments, and two copper fasteners were also found.

The discovery occurred in the Jequetepeque valley in the province of San Miguel in Cajamarca, a region that abuts Ecuador.

"Many people of multiple origins lived here. It was a ceremonial center dedicated to the cult of the ancestors," Watanabe said.

Judith Padilla, head of Cajamarca's culture office, said the findings allow for an understanding of "the lifestyle and ritual practices" of the ancient societies that inhabited the region.

The Wari culture survived between the 7th and 13th centuries over territory that is present-day Peru, but by 1100 AD the Wari were conquered by the rising Inca empire.

The discovery was made by the Project of Archaeological Investigation (PIA) Terlen-La Bomba and it occupies about 24 hectares (60 acres).

The Ministry of Culture indicated that the main objective of the research is to understand the socio-political system of the Cajamarca culture during the Middle Horizon (900 to 1000 years AD) and its relationship with the Wari culture.

Storia Di Musica #291 - Deacon Blue, Raintown, 1987

Lo spunto per le storie settembrine me lo ha dato un aneddoto simpatico sugli Steely Dan, protagonisti dell'ultima storia di Agosto. Una delle loro canzoni più famose, Deacon Blues, da Aja (il loro capolavoro del 1977) fece un viaggio emozionale fino in Scozia, dove un giovane ragazzo si appassionava alla musica, soprattutto a quel pop così sofisticato, pieno di stratificazioni sonore, piccoli gioielli musicali incastonati nelle melodie, e immensa classe esecutiva. Ricky Ross si chiama quel giovane ragazzo, che dopo che a Dundee viene licenziato da professore precario delle scuole secondarie, si trasferisce a Glasgow, dove decidere di mettere su un gruppo. Prima trova il batterista, Dougie Vipond, poi un bravissimo pianista, James Prime, un chitarrista, Graeme Kelling, e una corista, Carol Moore. Le prime esibizioni sono incoraggianti, ma la Moore decide di mettersi da parte. Ross si ricorda che aveva sentito ad un provino, improvvisato in Bath Street, una ragazza che lascia il suo indirizzo, ma non il suo numero di telefono. E la storia vuole che fu lo stesso Ross ad arrivare sulla Great Western Road di Glasgow per chiedere a Lorraine McIntosh di unirsi al gruppo. E c'è la ciliegina sulla torna: durante uno delle prime serata acclamati dal pubblico, Dougie Vipond leggermente brillo incontrò Ewen Vernal, bassista, nel bagno di un locale e gli chiese di unirsi al gruppo. Il nome per la band è quello che Ross ha in testa da anni: Deacon Blue, e siamo nel 1985. Glasgow in quegli anni è una città in piena trasformazione sociale, anche con profonde fratture socio economiche (per farsi un'idea, suggerisco i romanzi di Douglas Stuart) ma dal punto di vista musicale sarà la capitale scozzese della musica. Tanto che un giornalista del Glasgow Herald, John Williamson, decise di produrre una cassetta in allegato alle pagine culturali del giornale con tutte le promesse della musica cittadina di quel periodo: ci sono futuri gruppi e artisti molto famosi come i Wet Wet Wet, Kevin McDermott, Hue and Cry e i Deacon Blue, che contribuiscono con Take The Saints Away.

Dopo questa esperienza, sono pronti ad andare in studio, insieme a Jon Kelly, capo ingegnere del suono agli Air Studios di Londra. Ross ha in mente una sorta di concept album su Glasgow, che ne racconti le sfumature più varie. Raintown, pubblicato nel 1987, si presenta con una meravigliosa foto in bianco e nero di Oscar Marziaroli, italo scozzese futuro acclamato fotografo, che ferma una città avvolta nella perenne pioggerellina con sullo sfondo uno dei simboli della città, la Finnieston Crane, una gigantesca gru portuale, ormai non operativa, simbolo dell'industriosità degli abitanti, proprio all'imbocco del porto cittadino. Dal punto di vista musicale, seppur si parte dall'idea di pop sofisticato del mitico duo da cui prendono il nome, i Deacon Blue mischiano il lirismo vocale e le atmosfere uniche di Van Morrison, un canto-racconto degno del primo Springsteen e un'eleganza che ha una sua totale particolarità. Il disco ha un andamento ondeggiante tra brani calmi e riflessivi e quelli più incalzanti: l'inizio è davvero suggestivo, con Born In The Storm che come una nebbia si dirada e sfuma in Raintown, canzone che è profondamente legata all'esperienza di Ross, con versi che dicono "Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am.\You're in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go\I'm down here working on some dumb show\In a raintown" che raccontano l'inizio di tutta la storia. Ross scrive del rapporto con il business musicale nella bella Ragman e nell'altrettanto suggestiva Loaded, scritta di getto come un flusso di coscienza su una base improvvisata dagli altri componenti della band su una cassetta super 8, ed è capace di dipingere affreschi musicali persino drammatici in abiti delicati e affascinanti. He Looks Like Spencer Tracy Now è ispirata ad un pensiero, a che vita avesse fatto l'uomo che sganciò la bomba atomica su Hiroshima: tra incontri particolari ("he may have been with Oppenheimer, shaken Einstein's hand\Did we have to drop the bomb? You bet, to save this land\He was only taking pictures around the critical mass\While the troops on Tinian island sang 'Follow the bouncing ball') e cosa potrebbe essere oggi (He may have been a nationalist, a physicist or a pacifist (...) Well, I have seen that movie of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde\And I know he looks like Spencer Tracy Now). When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring) ha ai cori il famoso gruppo R&B londinese dei Londonbeat. Alto livello è anche Chocolate Girl, che racconta di un tipo anaffettivo, un certo Alan, ricco e spendaccione, "He calls her the chocolate girl\Cause he thinks she melts when he touches her\She knows she's the chocolate girl\Cause she's broken up and swallowed\And wrapped in bits of silver". Ma il capoavoro è Dignity: ritratto di quello spirito scozzese della dignità del lavoro, racconta la storia di un impiegato comunale, probabilmente uno che lavora sulle strade, e che non perde il sorriso nemmeno quando è preso in giro dal ragazzini e che ha un sogno, comprare un gommone, un dinghy, che vuole chiamare Dignity, con cui "I'll sail her up the west coast\Through villages and towns\I'll be on my holidays\They'll be doing their rounds\They'll ask me how I got her I'll say, "I saved my money"\They'll say, "Isn't she pretty? That ship called Dignity". In Love's Great Fears, liricissima e tutta giocata sul duetto Ross - McIntosh, che diventeranno marito e moglie poco tempo dopo, c'è Chris Rea alla chitarra.

Il disco, per le qualità musicali, per la scelta azzeccata dei singoli e per la sua atmosfera sofisticata, che quasi inventerà un genere, ha un successo clamoroso: arriva fino al numero 14 nella classifica dei dischi più venduti, rimane in classifica un anno e mezzo e vende oltre un milione di copie. La band continuerà a scrivere belle cose, e il successivo When The World Knows Your Name del 1989 arriva persino al numero 1 in UK e contiene la loro canzone più famosa, Real Gone Kid, facendo divenire sogno il successo che un ragazzo scozzese aveva immaginato sentendo una canzone, Deacon Blues, che parla di nerds and losers, secondo le famose parole di commento di Donald Fagen. Dedicherò il mese di settembre a gruppi scozzese degli anni '80, che è un periodo storico e una zona geografica che ha regalato cosine niente affatto male alla storia della musica.

Você está vivendo sua vidinha, pacificamente, pensando no dever de casa que ainda não fez, quando de repente, a música do Blink 182 que estava tocando é interrompida pela voz habitual vinheta do Anúncio do Reitor. Nas primeiras notas, você já sabe que lá vem mer... digo, bomba.

"Atenção Alunos, Professores, Funcionários, agentes da Merryweather e visitantes.

Neste momento, acaba de se romper um cano na Sunset Boulevard. Ao que tudo indica, alguns prédios da universidade estão sendo invadidos pela água nesse exato momento, enquanto outros deverão ficar sem água por tempo indeterminado. Por conta disso, as aulas de hoje estão suspensas enquanto a porção nordeste da universidade se encontra totalmente interditada. Os moradores do Hendrick Hall, do Rieber Terrace, Hitch and Saxon deverão se mudar temporariamente para o Olympic Hall, ocupando os dois andares que se encontram desabitados no momento, uma vez em que o Olympic é o único prédio de dormitórios não atingido pela falta de água ou inundação. A nova divisão será anunciada até o fim do dia.

Enquanto isso, os agentes da Merryweather irão ajudar nossos funcionários a solucionar o problema o mais rápido possivel. "

Assim que a música retorna você franze o cenho e solta um suspiro. Quem diabos está fazendo da sua vida um inferno?

Informações OOC

Como vocês podem ver pela notícia, esse evento aconteceu de fato, mas em 29 de julho de 2014, o que significa que aconteceu um ano antes do esperado. Vocês podem usar isso nas intenções.

Em IC, a inundação aconteceu no dia 20 de setembro de 2013

Até as 22h faço o novo sorteio dos dormitórios e posto aqui pra vocês.

Todo mundo agora vai para o Olympic Hall, exceto os alunos que moram fora do campus.

Os agentes da Merryweather estão ocupados e fora dos postos, por tanto, a segurança foi reduzida. É a oportunidade de investigar com menos risco, mas cuidado, ainda há guardas de uniforme preto nos prédios.

Os itens de task e obtidos nas investigações acompanham os respectivos donos.

No mais, sobrevivam ao caos dos novos moradores.

Last night somebody(or somebodies)built an intricate 18 foot snowman of Paul Bunyan.As part of the Burgess snowman competition it won first place by a landslide!But no one has come forth as to who have built it,whoever did it must have done quite some work on this Ice giant as it is very detailed and looks life-like and is well…gigantic with the ice being practically melded together as if by magic.Whoever you are we all would like to thank you(and your team)for this not only is it the biggest snowman made in the county,but it also caused a rapid increase in tourist and sight-seekers visiting.

Epic 2013 - NAMES

In this post, I would like to talk about the meaning of the names of the characters from the movie Epic.

Either people think long and hard about how they are going to name their children (or anything for that matter), while others just pick a name that they like without looking any further.

Names are especially important in stories like books and movies.

While in the real world you can have 6 girls named Olivia in the classroom (something that really happened to me), writers can give every character in their story a different name to avoid confusion.

It can be as simple as ''This character is from Japan. Let's give him a Japanese name.'' or ''My movie takes place in the 80s in the US let's give characters names that were popular at the time.''

Sometimes names can give you an insight into what is character's personality, talent, etc. Some are more subtle than others. (Dr Evil or Dr Doom)

Let me start by saying this, names in Epic are all over the place. Let's get the simple ones out of the way.

Susan comes from Persian and it means lily flower. In modern Hebrew this also means rose and a flower in general. It's a standard name for the setting and the time period, modern times (the 2010s) somewhere in North America.

Professor Radcliffe Bomba, his title is supposed to explain how he knows all this ‘’scientific’’ stuff. Bomba means bomb in most Slavic languages. It's supposed to showcase how wacky, clumsy and does things that are detrimental to his own safety. Radcliffe derives from the place-name Radcliffe meaning “red cliff.” I didn't even know he had a name but fandom has spoken and it won't kill me to include it.

Mary Katherine is named after the daughter of the author of the book the movie is based on. Mary means Star of the sea/Drop of the sea ; Bitterness; Beloved. Meanwhile, Katherine means pure. Mary Catherine is a name that signifies a freedom-loving and free-spirited individual.  

Bufo is just an American bull frog. Bufo is a genus of true toads in the amphibian family Bufonidae. Bull + Frog = Bufo

Grub and Mub. I put them together because they're a comical duo and that's why their names rhyme. Common thing. Grub is the larva of an insect. To grub is to dig or poke about in the soil. I couldn't find what Mub means, just a bunch of acronyms to stuff. Their names are supposed to sound funny and disgusting.

Nim Galuu is weird. Nim is a game in which two players alternately take one or more objects from one of a number of heaps, each trying to take, or to compel the other to take, the last remaining object. Galuu means to enter and the main characters go into a tree to meet him and even deeper into the tree to see the scrolls. Also, Nim reminds me of The Secret of NIMH. It's probably just a coincidence.

Then there's a bunch of other characters that are just names of the species/plant they're based on. Dandelion, Pinecone, Stickman, Marigold Girl, etc.

Now we get to the interesting names!

Nod, in Biblical Names the meaning of the name Nod is: Vagabond, fugitive'. At first, I thought his name, Nod, is referring to the action of nodding, agreeing with someone. Because he's a rebel, his not doing what he's told, so he's not nodding. Irony! Him being a vagabond or fugitive shows in his concept art a lot more. In the movie, he deserts the army for like 5 minutes. I'm going to go into detail about it in another post.

Ronin, is  a wandering samurai who had no lord or master. This goes with the samurai-inspired design of the Leafman. Tara is the master that he lost. Again, not executed to its fullest potential. Also, there's a huge difference between a ronin and a samurai. Many times when movies portray samurais or cowboys they're more like ronins.

Tara, in South Asia, such as India and Nepal, Tara is a word originating from Sanskrit, meaning star, and it symbolizes the light of the soul. Tara is the soul of the forest.  

Mandrake, a Mediterranean plant of the nightshade family, with a forked fleshy root that supposedly resembles the human form and which was formerly used in herbal medicine and magic. It was alleged to shriek when pulled from the ground. Mandrake lets out a loud shriek to alarm his army.

Dagda, (Celtic: “Good God”) also called Eochaid Ollathair (“Eochaid the All-Father”), or In Ruad Ro-fhessa (“Red [or Mighty] One of Great Wisdom”), in Celtic religion, one of the leaders of a mythological Irish people, the Tuatha Dé Danann (“People of the Goddess Danu”). Highly skilled and wise beyond measure, he was not only the god of life and death, but of seasons, agriculture, fertility, magic, and druidry as well. There is so much lore behind this guy's name. He had so much potential! I'm going to rant about it in another post.

I think the naming system really shows the problems with this movie. It's all over the place and there's just too much.

Inspiration from the Bible, Slavic countries, Japan, India, Scotland, Ireland, and many more.

There are so many things that nothing gets enough focus. We got:

Romance

Tara and Ronin

MK and Nod

Mub has a crush on MK

Parent-child relationship

Ronin and Nod's father-son relationship

Mandrake and Dagda's father-son relationship

MK and her father's relationship

Deaths

Nod grieving over his dad

Mandrake grieving over his son

Ronin grieving Tara 

Ronin grieving Nod's father, his friend

MK grieving over her mother  

Magic

Plant manipulation

Shrinking and biggering people

The Rot

Anything involving this stupid bud

Resurrection?

Dark Prince?

Scrolls in the oldest tree 

Other stuff

Nod not following orders and not being part of the team

Bird racing  

Gambling? Some criminal stuff

Random song number

Shenanigans with the dog

MK's parents being divorced

MK running away from home

Believing in what you can't see

WAR!

Queen dying and finding her successor

Pointless fight with a mouse

Grub wants to become a Leafman 

The people behind this project wanted to make this movie awesome, deep and mature but they wanted too much too fast.

Nothing gets properly set up. The creators had all those cool backstories for the characters but we don't get to see them. The movie throws us into the middle of the action. It feels like we missed a previous movie. This movie should've been a trilogy and it shows.

Boas-vindas à Academia Ouroboros! Um lugar onde a jornada do conhecimento ganha vida e se entrelaça com as maravilhas da descoberta.

Você já conhece nosso grande Imperador Yanvis IV, não é? Que todos o saudam.... ou não! Nem tudo no governo da Arkana são flores, e um grupo misterioso denominado Ordem das Sombras jura ter tudo para provar que o Imperador é um salafrário, e cabe a você acreditar nisso ou não.

Na Academia Ouroboros, o instituto de magia mais conceituado do mundo, você pode desenvolver desde a magia mais pura à magia artificial, que foi criada com a mais pura tecnologia do país para abençoar aqueles que pareceram não nascer com o talento natural para a coisa.

Além de outros colegas alunos para conhecer, fazer amizades ou rivalidades, os oficiais, treinadores e professores estão prontos para utilizar o X, a nova rede social criada pelo próprio Império, para cobrar os seus alunos mais danados e até os mais participativos, vê se não vá perder as datas de entregas, ein?

Falando em treinadores, o esporte que bomba desde sempre em Arkana é o magiball, onde a magia e os chutes na bola se misturam mais do que nunca! E, aos finais de semana, os treinadores, os jogadores e, principalmente, o GRANDE NARRADOR ficam loucos junto com a torcida. E que vença o melhor!

Todos são jovens, a gente pode passar um sufoco na sala de aula, ou até no treino de magiball, mas a diversão também pode existir no castelo da Academia e ao redor dele! Festas e eventos, mágicos ou não, é o que temos de montão.

Mas com tanta coisa, você me pergunta, como não vou me perder? É SIMPLES: com o Jornal Arcano, a fonte de notícias oficial do governo, ou o Jornal das Sombras, a fonte de notícias secretas da Ordem das Sombras, você pode buscar saber.

Seus novos colegas estão te esperando, vê se não demora! Só não esquece: usamos o X como plataforma principal e, como plataforma de apoio, o Discord!

Wewe, qui per dirvi una cosa un po’ diversa dal solito.

Come alcuni di voi sapranno, mi sono laureata in Scienze Biologiche a ottobre dell’anno scorso e attualmente frequento il conso di Laurea Magistrale “Biodiversità e tutela dell’ambiente”. Da marzo a giugno ho seguito un corso riguardante i metodi e le tecniche di divulgazione e educazione ambientale e me ne sono innamorata. Tralasciando il professore che è una delle persone più intelligenti, creative ed innovative che io abbia mai incontrato; ciò che ho apprezzato veramente tanto erano gli argomenti di questo corso. Da marzo in poi ho approfondito un po’ gli argomenti relativi al corso in sé e per se e ho capito che vorrei lavorare in questo ambito, ovvero quello della divulgazione.

In cosa consiste?

Di base il divulgatore/educatore ambientale ha il compito di comunicare con le persone di qualsiasi età dei temi riguardanti la natura. È un divulgatore ambientale chi fa la guida naturalistica, i documentaristi, i collezionisti, i fotografi naturalistici, gli scrittori di articoli scientifici, ecc.

Tramite una dottoranda con la quale svolgevo il tirocinio ho scoperto che esisteva una pagina instagram chiamata “life-ilfarodeicuriosi”, composta da ex studenti del mio corso di laurea (o scienze naturali) che si occupa di divulgazione. Gli ho scritto per dei consigli e mi hanno proposto di provare a scrivere qualche articolo per loro per capire se mi piacesse. Da qualche mese a questa parte, così, scrivo degli articoli scientifici riguardanti delle scoperte che vengono fatte sul regno animale.

Tutto sto papiro per dirvi che adesso vi lascio due link:

1.      Link relativo alla pagina instagram:

https://www.instagram.com/life_ilfarodeicuriosi/

2.      Link relativo al sito dove troverete gli articoli scritti da me: @IlFarodeiCuriosi | Linktree

Ho sempre usato tumblr per condividere ciò che mi riguarda a tutto tondo, quindi ho pensato di parlare anche di questo, that’s all.

Se vi va di andarmi a leggere, bomba. In caso, fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate!

Senhor Ilustrissimo Caro Reitor, você saberia dizer qual a linha de pesquisa que John Jacob Harris foi fazer no Deserto de Nevada? [@thefallen]

É muito bom ver que o senhor está tomando interesse pelos assuntos da universidade, senhor Kingsley. O Professor Harris há anos mantinha uma obsessão com física nuclear e os círculos que apareceram nos campos de teste da bomba de Robert Oppenheimer. Ele tinha uma estranha teoria de que se poderia abrir uma ponte de Einstein-Rosen com uma bomba de fissão nuclear ou uma bomba de hidrogênio e que os círculos estranho e a areia do sítio de experimentação seriam suficiente para provar a sua ideia, já que é impossível conseguir um artefato nuclear sem causar um incidente diplomático internacional. Particularmente, acredito que seja um absurdo, tendo em vista que o professor Harris já não gozava de suas plenas capacidades mentais quando pediu aposentadoria. A mente dele nunca mais foi a mesma por conta de um acidente no laboratório há anos atrás.
