WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE....

"Do you have any actual friends?"

"Not anymore."

Ragatha didn't just imply that all his friends abstracted, but admitted that she is not his friend.

And she doesn't think the other current members think of him as a friend.

It's easy to think someone is your friend, even when they aren't, but to have someone flat out say "You have no friends... I am not your friend..."

Poor Jax. You did it to yourself, but still, poor Jax...

ALSO "Not anymore" could imply that they were friends at one point, but not anymore.

I feel like episode 5 really puts a new meaning into the song "Funny Things".

Like, they both start out with a water adventure, and then they have a bunch of parallels.

Or maybe only one, at the very end of the song.

Go listen to "Funny Things" and let's over analyze this.

TADC ep. 5 spoiler, and Jax theory.

Theory under the cut.

I think that after Kinger, Jax has been in the circus the longest. In the intermission scene he stops at a door with a frog on it and just stares at it. We know from Goose that a frog was the last one to abstract before Kaufmo.

"Do you have any actual friends?"

"Not anymore."

Kaufmo was the last one who was originally in the circus when Jax arrived. He was friends with the original group, but slowly they abstracted, and were replaced by the new group: Ragatha, Gangle, Zooble and Pomni. (In no particular order).

Now that they are gone, Jax has no one.

Maybe once they started to leave, he decided he wouldn't let anyone else hurt him like that again, so he's trying to distance himself from the others.

OR

Maybe he knows he next, and when he abstracts, he doesn't want it to hurt the others as much as it hurts him.

I don't know, but I hope we find out soon.

What- What do you mean THAT was the calm BEFORE the storm????

[firefliesdream]

Now that I can post pictures, here is a Line Design I made a few months ago and forgot about. If you guys like it, maybe I'll post some more. It's a digital picture, so it looks a little different than my on-paper ones. (Not that I've posted any other's here yet, I just thought it would be worth mentioning).

(Also, in my other post when I said I could draw better than that, this is what I'm talking about).

Enjoy and have a nice day.

[firefliesdream]

Guess who learned how to post pictures?

Anyways, enjoy this awful drawing of Jax I drew a few months ago. (I'm not usually this bad, but I'm not used to drawing on the computer yet).

I JUST SAW THE Live Action HTTYD...

I saw it in June 11, 2 days earlier than the release date. Early access.

I LOVED IT! IT WAS PERFECT!

What I'm about to say, I don't think they will spoil the movie, but just to be safe, I'm putting it under the cut. Read at your own risk.

THEY NAILED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SNOUTLOUT AND SPITELOUT!!!

It's so little, just a few, tiny scenes, but that's all you really need if you saw Race to the Edge to know it's perfect! Riders, and Defenders of Berk too!

And the kids: Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Snoutlout, Fishlegs, Astrid and Hiccup? They have depth! It's really like they existed before this movie was made. They have friendships, for better or worse, and you can tell they have history with one another!

The twins were written a bit dumber, which really bothers me, but it still works. Much closer to how they were in the OG movie before the series character development they recieved. Ruffnut got some more character, which is nice to see.

Now that the original trilogy is over, they are able to foreshadow and reference future events. Because they know what's coming.

I LOVED IT!!! I admit I was a little nervous for this version, but those fears were clearly misplaced for me personally.

And the actors were perfect! They may not look like their animated counterparts, but they certainly act like them.

Give it a shot, and if this has to many spoilers, let me know so I can edit the spoiler warning at the top.

Have a great day, everyone!

What's your FAVORITE season of Dragons: Race to the Edge?

I'm just curious what everyone's favorite season is and why. Mine is RTTE Season 4 because it just has such good episodes and some of my favorite. There are no wrong answers here, but feel free to put why your favorite is your favorite in the comments or on your own posts. Just be respectful everyone.

Also, it's June 11 and I'm seeing early access showing of the Live Action HTTYD, and I am so excited! It's my first early access of any movie, and I'm thrilled it gets to be a Dragon movie.

Have a nice day, everyone!

Warrior Cats name problem.

(Spoilers for the "A Starless Clan" arc and minor spoiler for "Changing Skies" book one).

You know how Nightheart's whole problem was being named "Flameheart" because he didn't want to be compared to Firestar?

The name and problem should go deeper than that, but others such as Moonkitti have explained it better than I could, so let's just stick with this point.

He doesn't like to be compared to Firestar, his Great Grandfather. To him Flame and Fire are the same thing, and to have Heart, Firestar's first suffix, added to his name felt like an insult. Like Bramblestar was telling him "When I look at you, all I see is Firestar."

He remembers his problem with it later when he and Sunbeam announce they are having kits and his mother Sparkpelt suggests one be named "Berrykit" after Sunbeam's mother Berryheart, as well as other fire related names.

They say they don't want their kits to be reminders of what Berryheart became, and the fire problem is still there, so they decided to come up with new names all on their own.

So, what does this cat who is so obsessed with not following legacy or sharing a name do?

His Daughter is named "Shinekit".

What's the problem with "Shine" you ask?

His best friend, his cousin, his honorary brother, is name BaySHINE!

Whether he realizes it or not, he named his daughter after his best friend!

Flame and Fire are close, but not the same thing. Shine is the exact same word and meaning.

His son I'm a little more forgiving of, seeing as cats rarely mention family going beyond one or two generations, so he might not know he named his son after his Great Grandmother.

His son's name is "Goldenkit".

Goldenflower was Brambleclaw's mother.

Firestar and Goldenflower are almost from the same generation, with Goldenflower being older and having kits just over a year before him, and they are same number of Greats as each other. But Fireheart was important, so only he is remembered.

(Given Brambleclaw's current condition, I don't blame him is he forgot her name, or if it just didn't occur to him to mention it to Nightheart, ever).

I know I'm reading way too much into this, but when I read "The Elders' Quest" and saw the names he chose, this is the first thing I thought about.

Did anyone else notice this? I know it doesn't really matter in the long run, but I thought it was super ironic that he gave his kids the exact same thing he hated as a kid.

[firefliesdream]

You know that meme "Don't stare into the void, or it might stare back at you"?

Yeah, I need someone to make that with Sentry as The Void.

Just saying, he is literally a void, and he is staring at you.

[firefliesdream]

I know all of you have your favorite Marvel character that you can draw in your sleep, but Sentry is officially the easiest to draw.

Just a black silhouette and 2 white eyes.

Chaos theory season 3 just gave us the most accurate thing in all of the Jurassic franchise.

No, it wasn't dinosaur design. It wasn't pack behviors and loyalty.

It wasn't how good people can do bad things.

It was that Kenji took Smoothie out for a potty break, and he just sat there, doing nothing. And Kenji was getting frustrated, indicating that they had been out there for a while and Smoothie was just playing instead of doing anything else.

I think anyone with a dog, especially a puppy, will agree with me.

(Fun fact, I got a puppy the day before Season 2 was released. And I can confirm that this scene is 100% accurate).

Also, Smoothie is adorable! I love his design and can't wait for him to meet Bumpy.

Kenji taking the shell off his head is a direct parallel to when Ben took the shell off Bumpy's head in her first episode. Bonding the pairs for life.

#2 Spoilers for Chaos Theory, season 3: The Handler.

I feel so bad for the Handler in this season. Like, I know she's essentially a murder, or assassin, but come on, those Atrociraptors are her babies. You can't just take them away from her.

And the fact that Red still hurt her but then stopped when she grabbed his head shows that they have a bond, just not as strong as the others and her.

And the fact that she went looking for her raptors shows that this emotionless person does have emotions, and thats the unsettling thing! She was beating up Brooklyn out of anger because Brooklyn was the one selling the raptors, she only let her live because Brooklyn promised to get them back. All without uttering a single word!

She only talks twice in the show; Once in a whisper to threaten the professor, and "STOP!" The more notable one. She cares for her raptors, and you could feel her sadness when Ghost died. (I think it was Ghost).

Regardless of which one it was, she lost her baby. And I feel she stopped the fight to save the others. Did she want to die? No. Did she want them to die? Absolutely not!

And all of this was based on a misunderstanding: Santos thought that She took the raptors and killed the senator against her orders, when it was really the Pyro raptor that got him. So, the Handler doesn't even know why she's being punished.

(Taking her raptors away is a punishment worse than death to her, as we can see).

I just feel really bad for her. She was an amazing villain, she was designed to be creepy, and her whistle reminds me of a train.

Why did she start working with raptors? Why was she so close with them? Was she some kind of clone designed to work with them? Why doesn't she talk?

We may never know.

And I think that's kind of fitting.

Chaos Theory season 3 spoilers #1:

I was getting flashbacks when that Dimorphodon was half carrying half dragging Ben away to the monorail scene where the Pteranodons carried him away, making everyone assume he was dead.

How this boy is not terrified of birds altogether is beyond me.

[firefliesdream]

Better late than never...

Chaos Theory season 3 comes out tomorrow, and as of right now I have only seen the one trailer for it and nothing else. So here are some of my thoughts and predictions for what will happen.

I love that Brooklyn has a prosthetic arm. Faking her death and changing her identity would make it hard for anyone to get any prosthetic, so I am sure the Broker gave it to her. And I bet there is an underlying threat of "I can take it away at anytime, don't test me." This feels like a way to make Brooklyn reliant on the Broker. She did fine without the arm, but it would be hard to go back to that now that she knows what it's like to have one.

I never doubted Ben had a girlfreind for a second. Just saying. And it's funny that the other kids still doubted Ben, but allowed him to take them to a stranger's house if he really didn't have one. Desperate times, desperate measures, I guess.

Bumby's egg will hatch! Based on Yaz finding the shell, this will go one of 2 ways: A. For comidic purposes, and to fool younger viewers, she will think the egg broke. It really hatched, and the fam try to find the missing baby in a chase scene Scooby Doo style. B. More likely, someone in the girlfriend's house steals the baby and tries to sell it. (Or pay off a debt). That will set off the plot for the rest of the season, to get the baby back.

Lots of foreshadowing for Dominion. On that note, probably in the last episode we will see Dr. Wong. Just a guess, I don't have evidence for this (or any of these) other than it would be cool to see him again. And interesting to have him and Brooklyn interact since the last time was when he kidnapped her and held her for ransome. (Brooklyn for the laptop).

I don't think Brooklyn is a villain. I think she was trying to buy a dino to expose that it's really happening and instead of taking unrelaible sorces for it, she planned to do it herself. Darius was going to be her witness, but the bad guys caught on and sent the wrong dino on purpose to get rid of her. She won't kill the rest of the fam, but she has to make it seem like she is really a villain now if she wants to survive. Like she really doesn't care for them, in order to protect them as well as herself.

I hope Ben gets to explain why he didn't tell them that Brooklyn was alive. If Kenji cut Darious off for not showing up that night, I can't imagine what he'll do now that he's stuck with Ben. Like, he can't just leave, they are all trapped together far from home. And I hope Brooklyn gets the chance to make it clear she didn't want them to know she was alive and why. But that probably won't happen till the end of the series.

That's the end of it. I might make the Broolyn thing it's own post someday, but don't hold your breath. I should've made this weeks ago, but life is crazy. Can't wait to see if any of this is correct tomorrow.

Have a great day and enjoy the show.

(I can't figure out how to get rid of the numbers! Help!).

[firefliesdream]

Guys, I think I solved the ball (toy) pit guessing game!

I absolutely stink at math, but I love a good challenge, so I took some time and solved the problem. I won't say what the numbers are here, as that would take the fun away from everyone, but if it turns out I'm right after they announce the correct numbers, I will post a picture of my work.

(It's about time I learned to post pictures on here).

If I got it wrong, which is likely, forget this post exists.

Jurassic World Chaos Theory Season 3 trailer is out! I can't wait to see who did it better: Season 3 or Dominion, my bets on season 3. I have a lot to say, but I'll wait a few days, so I don't spoil the trailer of anyone.

April 3rd, I can't wait!
