It’s crazy how a show all about the experiences and problems with living in a small town in the midwest has suddenly expanded to russia and california. It used to feel like we were wrapped up in a blanket in a tiny little corner of the world. Don’t make we aware of bigger places

I know realistically Kevin and Dale would never talk to each because of age difference, class difference, Dale's trust issues etc.
But you can't write two socially inept boys with a passion for robotics and not have them interreact once!
Rip. They could have been besties. Maybe in another life.
I have been THINKING SO HARD on Kevin since I realized Dale is into robotics too- I didn't expect canon would just give me a robotics expert back when I tossed Kevin into that role due to cyborg obsession!
My current Cloudlands AU canon is still set up for Kevin designing the robot babysitters we see in "Channel Chasers" (Maybe Vicky bought one and customized it? Unclear)... I'm not sure if that will stay, but I feel like Dale wouldn't be happy about the Vicky design, sldkfj...
I'm not emotionally attached to the "Channel Chasers" future and I wasn't looking forward to rushing the city to be high-tech in 20 years, so if New Wish can ignore flying cars and stuff, I might too. We'll see...
Anyway, Kevin is practically the only kid in the OG series who told us what he wanted to be when he grew up and it was a dentist... and Dale has teeth issues and also likes robots... Hm. Inch resting.
I mean, Kevin IS a Buxaplenty in my lore...
Tumblr media
... it's not out of the question for him to toy more with that side of his heritage as he grows older and closer to Remy...
POV: You're Dale sent to meet a Buxaplenty at a convention:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of my favorite jokes in Cloudlands AU is that Kevin - an estranged Buxaplenty-Crocker child with witch magic that forces him to see ghosts under specific circumstances - has bizarre relationships with random people, but won't elaborate...
Ex: His job shadow with the Grim Reaper (x), his stepfamily (x) who are definitely not vampires (x), Jimmy Neutron's son despite him not being born at that point in the 2D World timeline (x), he's gotten an email from Danny Phantom (x), the Crocker house talks to him (x), he watches soap operas with his uncle's ex (who is a cat) (x), he knows the Burger World Employee & Bob the Boil & Mikey Munroe through Club Redheads Who Didn't Get Mindwiped (x), he's Foop's foster dad (x), he's caretaker for his undead great-uncle who was reborn as an iguana (x), he's still "alive" 150k years in the future (after he's reborn as a crow) and has met people in Foop's teen friend group (x), he lived beneath the same roof as Anti-Sanderson (x)... List goes on. I also like to think he's met Dark Laser's son. Kevin is the only one who ever knows what's going on with his life.
Canonically in my lore, Kevin has laid eyes on Rudy Tabootie from ChalkZone, Diego and Baby Jaguar from Go Diego Go, Chase from Paw Patrol, and he's spoken to Zac from Shimmer and Shine because they were all at the interdimensional Nick show pizza parlor.
It is not out of the question for Kevin to be familiar with Dale, because Dimmadelphia is heavily implied to be a tech empire (Robotics community is big there), they might've attended the same fancy tech university for a year or two, and it totally fits Kevin's gag. It's the Crocker curse of getting in everyone's way...
Tumblr media
I'mma be honest, I think Kevin is Dale's type (Struggling under the weight of the world, daddy / mommy / step-daddy / uncle issues, the town has come to expect A Vibe from his family, is "extra" when the setting calls for it, builds awesome robots, makes money in a stable career)... Dale's type is "As easy to understand and low maintenance as possible; bonus points for same interests."
I think Dale just wants to live by himself tbh. He gets along so well with Hadley because she's very independent, also from a wealthy family (Leadlys), travels a lot, doesn't "need" him, and totally gets his need for personal space and clear instructions on how she wants to celebrate holidays and anniversaries. Hadley tells him exactly what to do and Dale says "Bless this low-brainpower relationship I scored. Whatever you say, girlfriend." They definitely spark each other off sometimes, but they're both good at taking time for themselves (and remember they like existing with each other). I think deep down, Dale is glad to have someone helping him manage his stress and bringing in extra income - plus in City Lights AU, he wants Dev to be his heir and needs a basic "let me show you what Daddy does because this will be you someday" connection to him - so those are the things that stop him from living alone. He gets lonely when Hadley's away, but he also likes fewer distractions and not sharing the bed... They get along fine :)
But Kevin sees way too much of himself in Dale (Big and loud to cover the self-deprecation and anxiety) and he's not into that, so he'd pretend to be oblivious if he ever got hit on.
Kevin's vision of Dale is "only puts in emotional energy when it's convenient." You can pry "I adore you even when you hate yourself and will happily cover extra housework when you're exhausted b/c we're a team" Chloe from Kevin's undead talons <3
City Lights AU Dale would not hit on him because he's Daddy's Good Boy and would probably have an anxiety attack if he had One (1) Fantasy outside his marriage, but y'know... In some other universe, the robot-lovers geek out together. Kevdale tag when?
Alt consideration: Hadley has her QPR with Remy and Dale has one with the Crockermichaels... Crockermichaeldome tag when... Yes, It has to be both of them... Do not separate.
Alt consideration II:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love the Crockermichaels... I love the Cherrylemons... Please talk to me about them.
Secret Bonus Crockermichael Notes
For anyone unware of the ridiculous size difference between Chloe and Kevin's hands, allow me to enlighten you:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And yes... in the Riddleverse, Chloe and Kevin changed their surnames to Crockermichael when they got married. They miss each other when they blink <3
Bonus Pt 2 - Crocker not recognizing grown-up Chloe, but still being nice to her when the employee sends her to ride with him, which is not his usual M.O.... Chloe and her uncle-in-law... They're important to me...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bonus Pt 3 - Kevin's wedding ring is a tiny dragon!
Tumblr media
It's inspired by these drafts I wrote in 2018:
Her fingers skimmed along plastic containers of strawberries, and she picked two up. “Here. One for your place, one for mine.” Kevin eyeballed the price sticker on the sign. “I dunno. They’re out of season. I’ll pass.” Chloe arched her brows. One offended hand flew to her chest. “Sure, it’s a premium price right now, but what could be more rewarding than maintaining a healthy body every month of the year?” “Your engagement ring, I hope.” Chloe considered this, then set one box down. “It better have a strawberry engraved on it.” “Actually, I was thinking I’d get this neat silver one that looks like a little robot wrapped around your finger.”
&
Chloe bounced on her heels. “I look forward to welcoming all aspects of my pregnancy, even the ones which are, tragically, so often seen as negative.” Molly tapped her nails against her mug. “Let me guess. You’ve already got a dozen baby names picked out.” “I am partial to Chloe Junior myself,” she admitted, grinning Kevin’s way. “But Kevin likes Phillip, after the prince from Sleeping Beauty.” “I like dragons,” he called over his hot chocolate. Chloe waved her hand. “I’m not sure about it since it isn’t super gender-neutral. We’re still working things out on that end. Although it would be a very cute name for a girl…” She stared at the loose change in the change jar, lost in thought.
Along the Cherry Lane - WIP
Fun game called "Can you guess which worldbuilding detail Chloe and Kevin don't know about above? :)"

Why Signature Global Farukhnagar Plots Are the Smartest Real Estate Investment in Gurugram?
In recent years we have seen a large transformation in the Indian real estate space which is very much also the case in the National Capital Region (NCR) area. To the list of up and coming areas for smart investors and home buyers, Farukhnagar has emerged as a star for it’s affordability as well as it’s growth prospects. In this dynamic segment of the market, Signature Global Farukhnagar Plots are a stand out which present a package of lifestyle, investment and future readiness. As buyers which are looking for more from their purchase than just land a community feel, convenience of location and appreciation in value this project is it.
Tumblr media
In the heart of Gurugram’s growth story which we see in Farukhnagar a once quiet area which has transformed into a hot bed of urban development we have Signature Global which is a name in the Indian real estate space that you can trust for quality and innovation. They have responded to this change with a well thought out development which brings together the best of both worlds - a peaceful home environment and also access to the best infrastructure. For those looking at plots in Farukhnagar this project is a rare find in terms of value and location. Also it's proximity to key routes like the Dwarka Expressway, KMP Expressway, and NH-48 which in turn connects to Gurugram, Delhi, Manesar and IGI Airport makes daily travel a breeze and very efficient.
What makes Signature Global Farukhnagar Plots stand out is the development philosophy which we have designed. This is not to break out the land but to put in place a smart, sustainable and future proof neighborhood. We have planned the township to foster walkability, green living and self sufficiency which are today’s urban buyers’ top priorities. In a world which is health and environment conscious, at Signature Global we present rain water harvesting systems, wide internal roads, landscaped parks and secure gated access which turns our residential plots into much more than just land. We have set out a model for a modern, liveable community.
In the real estate space we see that which is very true of residential plots in Farukhnagar they have great growth prospect. Out of the saturated city areas, Farukhnagar is still in the growth stage which means we see competitive prices today but also a very large chance of that changing as infrastructure develops. Also the Haryana government is behind the push to take urban development out of the hands of Gurugram and into the outlying areas which in turn benefits this region. We are at the stage of large scale urban expansion and also of planned development which in turn means high ROI for early in to players. Also with Signature Global being a RERA approved developer buyers also have legal transparency and regulatory safety a key element in today’s real estate environment.
From a financial perspective the Signature Global Farukhnagar plots present great value. We see that as opposed to the very high prices of Central Gurugram which is soaring, what we have here is a different story, these plots come at a fraction of the price at the same time they have access to the same economic areas. Also this is a big draw for middle income families, first time buyers, and young professionals that wish to get into the market without putting everything they have into it. Also the plots are made to order so buyers have the chance to create their dream home at a pace that is right for them and to a design that suits them best. That also is a huge plus point in a market that is very much for the personalized home as opposed to the mass produced home unit.
The lifestyle is very much the same. These don’t exist in silo. They are within a gated township which at completion will include schools, retail, parks, and recreation areas. Here you are a part of a full scale ecosystem which in turn fosters community living while still very much preserving individual privacy. For those that want to live in nature's embrace but still be a part of the economic pulse of Gurugram, Farukhnagar puts forth the ideal balance. And at the helm of that is Signature Global which is bringing that promise to life.
Another which does very well from Signature Global’s Farukhnagar plots is the NRI community. NRIs are increasing putting money back into what is home for them also for the emotional and cultural ties but what we see is that Indian real estate is outperforming foreign markets. These plots present a chance to get into tangible assets in one of India’s most dynamic real estate zones. With the rate of development in the area it is a sound and forward thinking play. Also high net worth individuals (HNIs) looking to put diversity into their investment portfolio will see in these plots a safe and also scalable addition which balances risk and reward and at the same time adds prestige to what they hold.
Another issue for Farukhnagar is that it has become a residential extension of Gurugram. As the city center is transforming into a more business oriented and crowded environment families and professionals are looking out for what the periphery has to offer in terms of better air quality, quiet streets, and at the same time which also provides easy access to their work places and schools. In that regard Farukhnagar is the answer. Also in on the action is Signature Global’s project which is put forth to benefit from this outlying migration trend. With report of many infrastructural projects in the pipeline which includes new metro lines and improved arterial roads the area is to become a residential priority. Also for those who put in now is the best time to do so.
Also see that which we at Signature Global come from a very strong background. In Gurugram, Sohna and beyond we have delivered many successful projects which our audience of thousands of families put their trust in. We are known for our timely delivery, open books policy and customer first approach which goes beyond just building homes for our customers we are building communities. Purchasing a plot from them in Farukhnagar is to be a part of this legacy and that which they stand for.
The range of plot sizes we offer from small which is great for compact homes, to large for duplex villas or boutique developments. We have designed this flexibility for our customers’ specific wants or market growth strategies. If you are looking to build out your own home, hold the land for it to increase in value, or turn around and rent it out we have options for that.
In that which is left, Signature Global Farukhnagar Plots are not just a real estate purchase. They are a foray into a better future lifestyle, wealth creation, and peace of mind. As Farukhnagar transforms to become Gurugram’s next premier suburb these plots are at the crossroads of value and vision.

I mean this with ZERO disrespect, I'm simply trying to educate myself on this matter because it impacts us all.
All I can find about the Israel-Palestine conflicts is the fighting. What I want to know is why.
Whats the backstory? Why are they fighting? Why is everyone persecuting one another and who in the government is responsible?
I heard Hamas bombed Gaza and has taken hostages. What brought on this violence? Do all the Palestinians agree with this?
(More personal opinion questions, you don't need to answer these)
Do you agree with Hamas? Do you think that violence was a last resort to free Palestine? Do you think it's justified?
One thing I do hate is people saying "I hate *this group of people*, they are bad." They can't all be bad. So I don't like the titles of Anti-Israel/Anti-Palestine because you're assuming everyone there is on the same side.
In conclusion, people are stupid. The government is messed up. Citizens and families want to live so why won't the government let them?
I’m genuinely grateful that you’re asking because educating ourselves is one of the greatest tools we have. I’ll break it up into sections.
1. What’s the backstory?
In 1918, the Ottoman Empire conceded land they controlled to Britain (this is still an ongoing problem regarding many, many things because the Ottoman Empire controlled many nations that weren’t theirs to control if you catch my drift. Look up the Elgin marbles for a fun wormhole of WTF Britain). The Arab Revolt was backed by France and Britain with the promise that if the Arab fighters could force the Ottomans out of the area of the Levant, they would be granted independence (McMahon-Hussein Correspondence) but, plot twist, France and the UK instead split the region (Sykes-Picot Agreement). The Balfour Declaration of 1917 expressed Britain’s support of the creation of Israel. After they gained control of the region, they established Israel and systematically began to take the land of Palestinians.
Note: Zionism began as a belief in the mid-18th century. Many, MANY Jewish people do not subscribe, encourage, or promote the idea of a Jewish state. I do not view Israel = Jewish because it is antisemitic to imply that the Jewish diaspora all exist under the state of Israel. Especially when many Jewish people disagree with Israel.
Note note: Zionism was created as a response to the numerous pogroms and other antisemitic hate crimes affecting Jewish people. the Holocaust was fucking awful. No ifs ands or buts. Genocide doesn’t justify genocide, however.
Continuing on. So, clearly, the Palestinians are pissed. They were promised independence and instead now have their land taken by a global superpower who has historically fucked over hundreds of countries (another wormhole for you: India under British rule, Ireland and literally all of its history with England, the transatlantic slave trade under Britain, Africa under British rule, Australia and the treatment of Aboriginals under British rule, America and the British, it goes on). Palestinians revolted from 1936-1939 because, again, their home and promise of independence was being stolen. They lost against the British army but then 1939 was a bit of an important year for everyone and they world was sucked into another world war.
With WWII saw the birth of the United Nations, an organization that might sound important but has the moral backbone with the equivalence of a chocolate eclair. The UN said “hey, why don’t we split Palestine and Israel into two different states so maybe they’ll stop fighting” (United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine) and, as a result, the 1948 Palestine-Israel war began. Hundreds died. 700k+ people were forced from Palestine and spread across the world in what is called the Nakba. Israeli colonizers quite literally moved into homes that had been occupied by Palestinians only days before. In 1918, the Jewish population of the region was 8.1%. In 1948, when Israel was recognized as a nation by the UN, the Jewish population of the region was 82.1%.
2. There’s plenty of infographics and videos explaining the next few decades but I’m already writing an essay basically so the gist is: Palestinians keep losing their homes and Israel keeps taking them. Israel forces the Palestinians into smaller and smaller parcels of land until the control virtually everything but a small strip of land (Gaza) and the West Bank. That brings us to 2006.
Hamas was elected in 2006 over rivaling Fatah, gaining majority amount of seats in the Palestinian Legislative Council under the promise that they would help end the corruption many Palestinians were frustrated with. Instead they took military control over Gaza and established an autocratic state over millions of people who were already suffering under barbaric policies and practices from Israel. Politicians.
This is where things get a little…messy morally. Do I agree with Hamas? Fuck no. I couldn’t care less about Hamas because they don’t care about Palestinians. Do all Palestinians agree with Hamas? Firstly, you will rarely find a group of people where all agree with some. Secondly, I don’t think they appreciate being bombed by Israel while Hamas leaders chill somewhere else. The people of Palestine are the victims of Hamas and Israel.
Did some Palestinians celebrate Hamas’ actions? Yes. Do I think violence is a last resort? Yes and no. Do I think it’s justified? Yes and no.
Lemme expand on those last two points. I want to be an international human rights attorney someday. The loss of innocent life is always a fucking tragedy that I hope to help prevent or to bring justice for them. I understand violence. I understand why people are so angry. I understand the rage and grief Palestinians feel. 75 years of having their rights stripped away, their homes quite literally occupied, their land and culture chipped away piece by piece, and their children bombed and shot at.
“But how on earth can you think violence is justified if people get hurt!” The American Revolution was an act of violence that got numerous people killed yet you will rarely find someone who won’t justify it. Ukraine defending themselves against Russia wanting their land with no regard to how many Ukrainians they kill is considered justified.
People just seem to focus on the “violence is bad” aspect of things once POC are involved. Yeah, I said it. Americans tired of taxation, of British rule, and of not having their independence causes property damage, argues with soldiers in the streets, and starts a war is okay but when Palestinians do it, it’s a problem? When Black Americans ask to stop being brutalized by the police, it’s a problem? When Black South Africans ask to end an apartheid state, it’s a problem? When Central Americans ask for western nations to stop causing coups that destabilizes their nations, it’s a problem? I could go on.
Yeah, violence is bad. Violence is also the way that a lot of countries are where they are today. Violence is sometimes the only reason why things changed. Violence is enacted on the oppressed everyday yet people only seem to really care once the oppressed fight back.
3. I’m anti-Israel because I don’t agree with the government and the state of Israel. I don’t agree with their 75 years of violent oppression of Palestinians. I don’t agree with their current or past actions. I’m anti-Hamas. I think they’re a vacuous organization that is more focused on getting what they want than considering the consequences of innocent Palestinians.
I’m also really fucking furious at Joe Biden’s insistence that we send aid to Israel. We have given Israel $260 BILLION since 1948. BILLION. And yet we have people dying because they can’t afford healthcare. Students leaving school because they can’t afford tuition. We have 8 year olds in debt because they can’t afford school lunches. The unhoused population is growing rapidly due to the housing crisis. I can sense the unemployment rate creeping higher. I know many people who have lost their jobs this past month alone. We’re days away from another government shutdown and they can’t vote on a speaker.
American politicians would rather send Israel billions more to bomb innocent people than to feed their own citizens. That, in my opinion, is a sort of violence that can never be justified.

yohancito yohancito (●'◡'●) el gen de tu pelaje es dominante o recesivo? escuché por ahí que a seungwon le gustaría tener cachorros dorados como tú 💕
Tumblr media
-  —Es  un  gen  dominante  —  -le  alegraba  que  preguntase  sobre  ello,  porque  era  un  tema  interesante  y  que,  además,  hablaba  sobre  su  linaje  y  la  forma  en  que  su  familia  sobrevivió  a  la  erradicación  de  la  raza  humana.  -  —El  dorado  representa  a  los  primeros  humanos  que  lograron  evolucionar  y  adaptarse  a  las  nuevas  condiciones  del  planeta.  Mi  familia  fue  la  primera  en  adaptarse,  aunque  hoy  en  día  nuestro  color  es  llamativo  y  por  ende,  no  es  viable  para  cazar  y  batallar  con  otras  manadas  —  -por  ello,  es  que  su  ex  manada  estaba  ligada  completa  y  absolutamente  a  la  tecnología,  a  la  experimentación  y  el  conocimiento  nuevo.  Yohan  por  eso,  tampoco  salía  a  la  batalla  y  con  su  don  especial  de  ser  imparcial  a  las  esencias  de  los  omegas,  lo  hacían  caminar  en  campos  de  sangre  ya  controlados,  llegando  a  los  heridos  o  a  los  rehenes  cuando  fuese  necesario  su  conocimiento  y  sus  drogas.  Pero  ese  no  era  el  tema  en  moción,  no  cuando  se  menciona  a  Seungwon  y  Yohan  no  puede  evitar  sonreír  suavemente,  asintiendo.  -  —Probablemente  nuestros  cachorros  sean  dorados,  aunque  admito  que  en  la  actualidad  es  una  desventaja  más  que  una  ventaja,  espero  poder  hacer  feliz  a  Seungwon  con  su  deseo.

Night Key (1937)
"Now, listen, Steve. Twenty years ago you robbed me of the patent rights of the system that you're now using. Perhaps there was some excuse for that: because it gave you wealth, success, position, all the things that tempt one man to rob another. But now that you have everything and I have nothing, what possible reason is there for you to do this to me again?"
#night key#lloyd corrigan#1937#boris karloff#tristram tupper#jack moffitt#william a. pierce#warren hull#jean rogers#alan baxter#hobart cavanaugh#samuel s. hinds#david oliver#ward bond#frank reicher#edwin maxwell#george cleveland#george humbert#charles c. wilson#light hearted karloff vehicle which doesn't really deserve the sci fi label it's been given; yes‚ BK is an inventor of slightly fantastical#gadgets‚ but mostly this film is concerned with big business skullduggery with a side of organised crime. Karloff‚ as he often did‚ is#playing older than he was but he's very good and highly sympathetic as the doddery old prof. there's lots of good performances here‚ from#Jean Rogers' charming daughter to Warren Hull's romantic interest (much less tiresome than the usual role fillers in these movies) and#special mention to Hobart C as a delightfully seedy smalltime crook who attaches himself to BK like a stray dog. the only dud note is#Alan Baxter's weirdly monotone turn as the big bad‚ lacking any of the threat the character needs. the ending is twee and silly and there's#some (understandably) shaky fx work but this is genuinely a very fun time and a pleasant change from the usual Karloff vehicle of the era#one jarring moment: there's a very brief moment where a plot related news bulletin is heard on the radio‚ and as soon as it's finished the#news announcer begins to turn to the 'news from Spain' but the radio is switched off and the film moves on before we hear any more; this is#1937 remember‚ a moment of global tumult and thick in the gathering storm of the years to come but this is the only moment that the real#world is allowed to intrude into the charming and slighty silly world of eccentric inventors and sinister crooks
