Pt: Two Three | Prince Phillip III x shy!reader | Request

(omd I hate the name but whatever)

WC: 1681

It was a pretty average day in Amber Beach. The sun was shining bright as usual and you and the rangers were hard at work in the café. You were stood in the kitchen, huffing as you tried with all your might to scrub a mark off of the counter. It was a busy day in the café, plenty of people sat at tables and waiting for food. Tyler came and stood next to you,

"Hey, (Y/N/N), can you take this to table 7 for me, please? Shelby's on break and all the other servers are busy."

You turned to him, nodding as you took the tray. Tyler was your closest friend. You'd known him for many years, him being the reason that you moved to Amber Beach. You hung out all the time, gave him advice about his massive crush on Shelby and acted like siblings. You and Tyler had known one another since you were just little kids, both your dads' being friends and going caving together. You both lost your fathers in the caving accident so many years back, and as devastating as it was, it bonded you and Tyler in ways you didn't even think were possible. Heck, if that hadn't happened, you don't think you and Tyler would've been friends. You were always shy and reserved, not being very good with new people. But once you were familiarised with Tyler, you became closer than ever. So when many years had passed and you had both grown up and Tyler packed up to go to Amber Beach in search of Sampson Cave, you happily accompanied him. That's how you ended up working at the café and being a ranger, and you wouldn't change a single thing.

You turned on your heel, taking the tray Tyler had provided you with to the corresponding table. You placed down all the plates to each person, serving them their drinks before turning and returning to the kitchen. Going over to the sink, you began to scrub the dishes before hearing a loud commotion. You heard the sound of many teenage girls shrieking and fawning over something. Confused at the fuss, you turned around. Your eyes widened as you saw the prince, your boyfriend, walking into the café. Your feet began moving without you even realising as you began to run to him. The security guards didn't even attempt to stop you, being very familiar with you. Flying into his arms, he held you tightly. It had been weeks since you'd seen him, he was busy with his royal duties and you were occupied with your job and being a ranger. That left very little time to be seeing your dear boyfriend. So, when you had finally seen him, you didn't hold back. You held him tighter than ever, your coworkers 'awwwing' from the kitchen. Phillip smiled as he held you.

"Miss me, my love?"

You remained silent but nodded vigorously. He was surprised how you had ran to him, considering how shy you were and how you didn't like to make a scene. You didn't let go for ages, only pulling back briefly to lean in for a kiss. Phillip was whipped, he adored you more than anything. He felt like a foolish schoolboy with a crush, he just loved you so so much. If it was possible to have a crush on someone while dating them, Phillip definitely did. He was there on ranger business, the two of you and the rest of the rangers going to the base.

~*~*~*~*~

You sat in the base, Kendall discussing something with most of the rangers. She was showing them their new dino chargers. She hadn't been through with you and Phillip yet, but she knew you'd want more time with Phillip, so she decided on going through it with you later on. You were cuddled up next to Phillip, his arm around you and your head on his shoulder. You were quietly conversing and enjoying the peace. He began getting quiet and looking troubled, as if he wanted to ask something but couldn't muster the courage. You looked into his eyes, silently telling him it was okay to ask whatever he was going to. He sighed softly and began to speak,

"(Y/N), would you like to accompany me back to Zandar? I could show you the country, it's truly gorgeous."

You smiled at him, desperately wanting to say yes. Your smile faltered slightly as you responded meekly.

"Phillip, of course I'd want to but I don't know if Kendall would let me have that much time off work and there's are the ranger duties and-"

Phillip cut you off with a small but passionate kiss, catching you off guard. Your eyes widened, feeling shy since you were kissing right in front of all your friends, but you quickly leant into the kiss. He broke away after a few moments.

"My love, I've already consulted Kendall, she has agreed to let you accompany me back to Zandar, so, will you?"

You nodded eagerly at this, excited to finally see the country that your boyfriend rules over. Tyler looked over, smiling at the fact you and Phillip were happy. He'd always be happy for you.

~*~*~*~*~

A week later and it was time for you and Phillip to leave for Zandar. You had packed a bag and bid goodbye to all your friends and were now in the car on the way to the private jet that would take you back to Zandar. Your head was rested on Phillips shoulder, his arm once again wrapped around you with him occasionally leaning down to kiss your forehead.

~*~*~*~*~

You had finally landed in Zandar and the maids had taken all your bags for you and taken them to the room dedicated to you in the palace. You'd never even been there before and there was already a huge room for you! You were sure it was Phillip who had persuaded them to set the whole thing up. You smiled softly at the thought, thanking the maids who had brought your bags up for you. Phillip persuaded you to go shower and change before you went on your tour around Zandar. You happily complied, wanting to make use of the huge bathroom and fancy products waiting for you in your room. You dried off from the shower and before you could even fully dry yourself, maids came into the room. They held out many outfits in front of you, asking if you'd like any of the options. You felt overwhelmed by the amount of strangers in the room and by the amount of options. You looked around yourself, feeling surrounded and on the verge of panicking. The door opened and in came Phillip, ushering the maids out of the room and telling them to attend to other business. As they all left, Phillip approached you. He placed his hands on your cheeks, pressing his forehead against yours.

"Its okay, my love, they're all gone now and you can have some peace," he softly kissed your forehead before finishing "I'll be waiting in my room across the hall, just come in once you're finished changing"

You nodded, appreciating the gesture and smiling at him softly. He left the room, allowing you to choose which clothes you wanted to wear that day. You settled on an oversized jumper and a plaid skirt with tights, perfect for the autumn weather. You loosely braided your hair and put some shoes on before approaching Phillip's room. You knocked softly on the door and he opened it within moments. He stood in the doorway, admiring your beauty. He fell silent, just focused on how pretty you looked. He snapped out of it and took your hand, guiding you out of the palace to begin the tour of Zandar.

~*~*~*~*~

You roamed the gorgeous streets of Zandar, holding onto Phillip's arm whilst admiring the country. Each street you passed through, he gave you detailed accounts of the stories that had taken place there. Hearing him speak so passionately about his country made your heart melt. You looked up at him, smiling contently. Camera flashes snapped you out of the moment, making you jump. Desperately looking around for the source of the flash, you spotted paparazzi coming round a corner. You stared at them flustered, your grip on Phillip's arm tightening in panic. He looked to you with concern, noticing how worried you were about the paparazzi. Your shyness made you prone to panicking in situations like this.

Instinctively, Phillip pulled you into his side, allowing you to conceal your face from the cameras. Reporters also appeared and began making their way to the two of you. You began to shake from nervousness, holding onto Phillip tighter than before. He kept an arm around you, and began to speak to the reporters. Politely, he requested that they leave and allow the two of you to have some privacy. They kept asking questions, much to your dismay. His grip around you tightened and he sternly told the reporters that they must leave and that they were making you uncomfortable. Not wanting to upset the Prince, they complied and eventually left. Phillip took you to a concealed corner in a street, allowing you to come out of hiding. He kissed you softly, reassuring you that everything was okay now.

~*~*~*~*~

You woke up in the morning groggily. Turning over sleepily in the huge bed and reaching for your phone. The light practically blinded you as you squinted at it. There was a message from Shelby with a link attached to it. Upon opening it, you saw the message reading 'You've gotta see this!!! You are like the top news story in Zandar!!!' Confused, you opened the link. Your eyes widening upon seeing the headline and photo attached. The headline read 'THE PRINCE'S GIRLFRIEND REVEALED TO PUBLIC EYE' and attached was a photo of the two of you sharing a kiss in that secluded corner. You blushed upon seeing the photo. It was the number 1 news story and the people loved you.

You smiled at your phone before turning it back off and rolling back over, contently drifting back into sleep.

(A/N) I loved writing this!!! hope you guys enjoy reading it!!!

Top 15 Games that SHOULD get a 100% Reboot/Restart

Hi. I felt like doing something positive especially after my last post, so as a follow up, here is a list of games that I think should get the reboot treatment. And when I say reboot, I don’t just mean remake with fancier graphics and bonus features. I mean restart altogether with fresh new storylines that go their own way though in some specific cases, all they need is a new look. Note that this is my subjective opinion and nobody here has to agree with it. It’s just a fun suggestion.

1- Metal Gear - I don’t mean Metal Gear Solid, I mean Metal Gear in general. In fact, I think the “Solid” should be retconned entirely because it not only stopped being about Solid Snake who is the hero, he was done dirty with a pathetic ending and the only sequels we get now are prequels. Not to mention the constant drama and tragedy became nauseating. My advice is to restart from the beginning by rebooting the games that date back to the NES as are with better writing and then after that, only do a half-reboot of Metal Gear Solid and then go its own way while respecting Snake as a main character. Solid Snake is a staple in war themed games and set the standard of how we create them. He should REMAIN the main character and have his endings always remain open with him still standing with dignity.

2- Dino Crisis - I don’t think I need to say much here. Everyone is dying to see this game get remade and it’s not hard to see why. With the exception of the third game and the spin off, Dino Crisis 1 and 2 are amazing. They are dinosaur themed games that actually feel like survivor horror games and not like shooter games with the dinosaur gimmick. This series deserved a reboot and a third game that gives it proper closure.

3- Parasite Eve - Like Metal Gear, this series did dirty to its main character (Aya Brea) in such a way that they wrote themselves into a corner. Only the first game feels unique and special while the second and third instalments have an identity crisis, a confusing weapons and spell system, and a tank control that never belonged. Only the first game should stay as is with a simple remake and then, its sequels should actually be true sequels that keep the battle, spell and control system as are. Let’s just forget that PE2 and The Third Birthday ever happened.

4- Silent Hill - Let’s be honest. Harry Mason is the most underrated male protagonist in survivor horror because unlike all the others, he is not a man of action, not a badass and very relatable for it. He is a widower, a writer, a pacifist and one heck of a dad who literally jumped into the underworld to save his daughter. Now, while I like a lot of the sequels, this series lost its way. With the exception of Silent Hill 2, I think Harry and his daughter should have remained the main protagonists of the series. Harry is proof that real men come in all flavors and having one like him is different while still showing the best attributes of masculinity.

PS: I know Silent Hill 1 got a reboot, but it was bad. Period.

5- Turok - Before there was Dino Crisis (and I’m not discrediting it), there was Turok. The titular hero who might I also add is aboriginal which is a very underrepresented group in fiction period who literally kills dinosaurs with his bare hands. He is a badass and he while he has gotten reboots before, none of them hit the mark yet, but creators should not give up on him. He is worth the effort and if they keep trying, they will strike gold.

6- Castlevania - This series is ICONIC and nobody ever gets tired of it. It should make a comeback and it is one of the few series where being 3D would make it better. And considering that medieval settings in video games is all the rage now, it would be great to see Simon Belmont back in action. Heck, I would even be open to seeing a Belmont fighting evil in our modern times in 3D.

7- The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time - Now, I stand by that this series doesn’t need a reboot, I think this game specifically should get a remake because it is a great game that reshaped the series into how we know and love it now, but it was very buggy and the graphics were not that great even for their time. Everything else about it is great, but it does need a facelift.

8- Prototype - A forgotten gem if there ever was one. This series is unique in that it is the one game where you play as the monster who is also an anti-hero. Yet again, its series did its main character (Alex Mercer) dirty though on top of that, left too many questions unanswered. This series needs a reboot with a much better storyline. If you haven’t seen it, play the first game and you’ll see my point.

9- Tomb Raider - Now, we can all agree that this series has lost its way. While I am all for origin stories and I admit it makes sense for Lara Croft to not be hardened or toughened up from the start. Keeping her as a weak frightened girl doesn’t make her realistic nor does it make her a likeable heroine. And I am woman enough to admit that being athletic, confident, daring and badass is a part of Lara Croft’s character. I don’t want her to be realistic. I want her to be cool and fun to play. This series needs to go back to its roots when it was fun and Lara was allowed to shamelessly be herself.

10- Dead Rising - Another case of a game losing its way and its main protagonist becomes someone they’re not. The second instalment was the only game that felt true to what the series is supposed to be and even then, it felt like a spinoff not a part of the main story because Dead Rising is Frank West’s story. Another thing that also stood out about this game is that unlike most zombie themed games, the main character is not only not a fighter, he’s a total lover in all the great ways. Frank is (or rather, was) compassionate, honest and it isn’t for nothing that you only got the best ending when you would save everyone. Heck, he would save people who tried to kill him. This series should get a total reboot and a total rewrite after game 1. And can we please not give Frank a heart of stone? Him being loving is what made him great.

11- ObsCure - Another lost gem with a unique premise and group of protagonists. This game plays up our childhood fear of the dark because the monsters in this game literally are allergic to the light and the setting is in a highschool. It feels like Scream meets the Blair Witch Project making it a lot of fun, and the monsters are so delightfully creepy. Plus, the story was compelling. Sadly this series only got one sequel which was actually great, but never got that third instalment that would wrap everything up. I say we give this series a reboot, so it can finally finish what it started.

12- Resident Evil Outbreak - I know this is a spinoff series, but it’s one of the best in the series. It fills in a lot of gaps in the main storyline and any game that allows you to have your own tyrant fighting alongside you is awesome. It also has a multiple ending system which was well done and very rewarding when you get the best ending. I think this should get the reboot treatment and even have a third game that expands the aftermath further.

13- Resident Evil Dead Aim - Another one of the best spinoffs in the RE series because it expands the story specifically in how tyrants are made and how the variants work. And to be honest, I even liked the characters. I would love see new life breathed into this compelling game even if it just remains the only one of its kind.

14- Days Gone - I don’t care what anyone says. Any game that allows to play a biker with the spirit of an honourable warrior is badass. Also, can we talk about how this is one of the few games where the main protagonist is married and remains loyal to his wife even long after?! He may be white, male, straight and Christian, but he is still pretty progressive and embodies the BEST part of masculinity. The parts that drive a man to be romantic, noble and heroic. This game with extremely misjudged to the point of bigotry and it deserves a proper reintroduction because it was going places.

15- Half-Life - This series helped Valve get its jump start and it had the most unique and most iffy type of protagonist in an action/sci-fi game possible yet worked: a scientist. After all, who expect the skinny nerd with the big thick glasses to save the day? Yet, it worked and this game has tons of monsters that became iconic in video game lore. What’s really sad is that a third game was in works, but never saw the light of day. I say we reboot this series and give it the chance to honour its promise to give that third game at long last.

Bonus - Other honourable mentions here are Left 4 Dead because Back 4 Blood stinks, Alone in the Dark though I hear a reboot is in the works, Doom, Devil May Cry and the right way please, Bloody Roar, The Suffering, Fatal Frame, The Evil Within and any other fantastic game series that either went bad due to bad sequels or never got the chance to keep going.

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart 💕🌸💐🌷🌻

Big Fanart of my 2019oc and his wrestling friend, Adrian Adonis🌸💐I drew maybe 1 month ago but take long time for writing their stories in English😂😂

Ok I post about Faren’s information already. And this post I’ll mention about one of his friends, Start with no.1 Adrian Adonis, a good friend/ big brother whose known him since they both was YoungLion and before go to WWF

*these pics below are low quality, high quality pics are following*

[Faren’s part]

My lovely brothers, Keith Adonis Franke a.k.a Adrian Adonis. He’s one of Raymond and my close friends since before we go to WWF, but reason why I still close with him because we are all obsessed with “Biker lifestyle”/ very long-winded, never stop talking😎 (different from Raymond whose more polite and taciturn / we love dressing as biker but Adonis’ style is better than me lol he spend so much money for this!

Adonis is older than me 7 years, chubby but good-looking/ nice hairstyle/ sassy man and big-mouth…and seems he doesn’t care about his weight that much. In the past we often go everywhere by our big bike/ ride in the same car, but when we both are in WWF we have different role, Adonis is heel but I’m babyface, we live in different locker room/ everybody has his own friends whose have the same role& same personalities and similar in age.. now we shouldn’t acting like close friend when go outside.

Adonis is funny person/ tough and good worker for someone…and sometimes he’s sassy man and like to act cocky for someone too, and one of these people are Lanny Poffo, one of my the first friends in WWF and Danny Spivey, one of dumbass Mike’s close friend.

I don’t know it can calls “luckily” or not that I’m one of persons whose don’t have problem with him.. we don’t have match to fight and eventhough we have similar style (or gimmick) that about biker, but we never have any problem about comparing who is better or who should be owner of biker gimmick, because we think we have many difference in their own way.

The fact that we have different role, we must act in different personality traits sometimes, and because we’re famous wrestlers to some extent , when we go outside we often see some fangirls excited to us and stop to say hi😅

Babyface like me must wave and say hi back to her even though that time I’m in a bad mood/ tired/ hungry or bored😐

But for Adonis when he notices some fangirl say hi,

He just act cold and said “get back in da house! ” . that’s why sometimes I jealous some heel wrestlers that can be honest with their feelings🫠 but at the same time I’m not ready to have heel role too, I can’t😖

Look at this👇🏻. It’s funny that we both dye our hair to blonde following some “backstage person” ‘s advice (Vince? Pat Patterson? or some bookers? I’m not sure who the hell is owner of these idea)

(Umm🫤idk I can call it’s just “advice” or not !?… I think I should use this word instead, “wanting” 🤔 I mean.. if some wrestlers don’t abide by the plans of boss’ idea , We can‘t know about our fate (wrestling role) in the future. They make you shine but they can ruined you also. Me/ Adonis and Dino Bravo are one of the people who agreed to dye our hair to blonde following their advise inevitably

Adonis must dye his hair bc he has gay gimmick of flower shop. Man.. he gain so much weight! Nobody can stop him! Ok I know that this guy is reckless, my I just can’t believe he can be reckless in this way too! 💀

I must dye my hair bc some backstage guy told me to “being more American”. Everyone knew I was the son of famous Hawaiian wrestlers “Ailani Kamealoha”, I have brown hair like my dad , but someone tried to change my identity, make wrestling fans forget everything whose son I am and where did I come from. Now I have become an American biker from Texas USA not Honolulu..I only talk about the biker lifestyle, dressing fashionably, Do not mention anything related to Hawaii or mention to my father who was a Hawaiian warrior.

Moreover, sometimes I have to act flirty, even though in fact I’m like my dad that clumsy and not good at flirting at all , I am not allowed to say that I have 3 children too🤥

Ok, back to Adonis. I want to share one of He has ever buy Pepsi for me during we are fixing a big bike(he often go out and back with some snacks).. but that time I keep that Pepsi can in my bag before bring it to hometown in Texas together and forget it in my house, and I wasn’t go back to my house for a few year after that. And not many months later, Adonis left WWF and goes to AWA and I’ve never saw him again.

Believe or not.. until this day in 2024 I still keep that can in my shelf that full of 80-90s stuffs. Seiji, my son whose doesn’t know anything often ask me to throw it in garbage because it’s expire food but I stop him😑

ok I accept the truth that I have some “old man habits” whose like to collect little things not only about biker. But I can’t help it! 🤷🏻

Stories between me and Adonis are just a short part of my whole career story, he passed away from car accident in 1988. Eventough we’re not close that much after we’re in WWF because we have their own friends/ own roles but I can’t refuse that Adonis is good brother for me and my fond memories include Adrian as one of them. He’s gone too fast, that’s the reason why I feel like…I still have unresolved issues and still not used to accept that he’s gone to somewhere. I still imagine if we both are 60 years old men, have white hair, sit together, drink some beer and share crazy journey of our wrestling career. I love you my brother, tell wrestling friends up there I said hi🤍

lmao

okay SO I'm going to be in Texas for a few days in a couple weeks and here's how all this happened:

I was given a "please don't sue us" credit from an airline

I remembered that Meow Wolf had a new exhibition right next to DFW

so maybe a day or two there just to see that and then leave

fun little weekend trip

then I remembered the eclipse and that dallas is in the path of totality

so okay cool let's move my trip to coincide with the eclipse

MY DAD HEARS ABOUT ALL THIS he wants to come

he wants to rent a car and add on a few days

okay we'll go to the state park nearby where you can see dino footprints and do some stuff around dallas

we are now there for five days

dad just injured himself (poor thing)

now I will be going on my own most likely and will not have access to a car (as I can't safely drive) so no dinos for me ig

it's kind of a weird situation, I guess. my little weekend trip grew into five days alone in a location I don't have a ton of knowledge of or interest in, RIP.

so uhhhhh does anyone know the DFW area? any advice on fun stuff to do that doesn't necessitate a car? I can take an uber if it's not too far, but like. nothing outside the city.

also like. anyone know any fun eclipse-themed stuff going on between the 7th and 11th? I fucking love a theme, I'll be real with you.

Moral Orel #43: “Honor” | December 19, 2008 - 12:15AM | S03E13

Moral Orel concludes! The final episode, “Honor” finally aired December 19, 2008, 3 years and a few days after the first episode aired at midnight, December 14, 2005. It aired as the conclusion of The 44 Nights of Orel, which included not just a Scott & Dino intro, but also a black and white bumper written by Dino, which was scored by a song he wrote and recorded after finishing the episode.

The episode opens with a brief flashback to the ending of Best Christmas Ever, which is cited as being exactly one Christmas previous. It is also scored by “Valentine” by I.O. Perry. Orel has aged one year over the course of three seasons. It’s like St. Elsewhere on a very mild steroid. (sighs), St. Elsewhere intentionally had two seasons of it’s show represent one year of real time, because medical residencies are typically thr–

Excuse me. This is a write-up about Moral Orel. Honor is about Orel grappling with the fact that he doesn’t honor his father. The episode also focuses on a Clay and Stopframe’s relationship, which has become strained after Stopframe witnesses Clay kissing Censordoll, which happens in this episode at alternate angle. Orel gets advice from Reverend Putty to seek out Stopframe and ask him why he loves his dad so much, in order to perhaps find something in him worth Honoring. Stopframe and Orel have a surprisingly nice time together, in a non-molesty way, even. Meanwhile Clay seethes with jealousy, and tries to get Stopframe’s attention with the stuffed bear that he lied about shooting in Nature (part two).

The episode begins with Orel having his cast taken off. He’s also told he’ll be limping for the rest of his life. Dino mentions in his video commentary that a few moments of animation had to be cut around because Orel was erroneously animated without his limp. He also mentioned his desire to possibly produce more episodes of Moral Orel, some of which could be set before Nature and some after, with the limp being a tell. 

The penultimate scene, where Clay confronts Stopframe at his apartment is pretty moving, and has some incredible acting from Scott Adsit. There’s also some great dark humor, and one of my favorite dialogue exchanges: Orel figures out Stopframe is gay for Clay and asks him “you like my dad the way my mom likes my dad, don’t you?” Stopframe: “your mom likes your dad?” Perfect shit, man.

Because the show was cut short, it sounds like Dino didn’t quite get to do the ending he had planned. He credits Duke Johnson with coming up with the idea of getting to see Orel all grown up, which is one of the final images of the show. Orel is grown with a kid, and he’s in fact married to Christina. We see Shapey and Block in photos on the wall, all grown up with mustache jobs. Orel is the head of a happy, loving family. What’s most notable about this future for Orel is that he’s still religious. He also still honors his parents by including a photo of them on his wall, looking old and miserable. Before this flashback, we also see other happy, healthy families in the episode, like Joe and Nurse Bendy ice skating together, and Reverend Putty with Stephanie.

The final, FINAL scene, is under the closing credits. Orel dismantles his stop-motion camera and boxes it up and wraps it as a Christmas present for Shapey and Block. They had to go and do a Home Movies, sheesh! 

The episode was co-written by David Tuber, who uploaded the animatic for the episode to YouTube 8 months ago! Isn’t that cool? There are some very good jokes in this, like Stopframe stopping himself from puking by putting his finger under his nose, Looney Tunes style. The run where he keeps hallucinating Clay’s face has a funny payoff where he redundantly hallucinates it over a different Clay face, found on one of his old campaign posters.

That’s Moral Orel. Here are my top ten episodes, not ranked, but in viewing-order order. Also, I'm counting Nature as one episode because one time they actually did air it that way. Keep your peepers peeled for that in an upcoming EPHEMERA CORNER.

MAIL BAG

Whoops, didn't mean to post that pic under the MAIL BAG heading, but oh well. We got a nice one from London Arbuckle. I will try not to reply with something nasty and dismissive like "thanks, you bitch, that's frothy"

For some reason I wanted to mark the end of Moral Orel with a sincere post but I'm too lazy to do it justice. But I will say this: The airing of this season just so happened to coincide with the three months my dad was dying of cancer in our house. It was, needless to say, a dreadful, miserable, painful period of my life that I can't fully decouple this season from. But man did I vibe with it extra hard at the time. Still do. I guess I can't say I recommend experiencing the show this way, but...

I definitely worked through a few things myself on this watch, but I remember that time and this is a lovely message and I love you and I'm glad you're with me, bud. You are not a bitch and this was not at all frothy.

Dino headcanon rambles(tm) 2: Mega Man X Edition

So Sigma. He’s cool. Physically imposing, certified threat(at least until X5 but shhhh we don’t talk about that part) and all around good villain(again X5 is the last game he’s good in). Now that I’m thinking about him, gotta wonder what he was like before going maverick.

Personally, Sigma kinda seems like he would be a father figure to the hunters and especially the 17th Elite: kind, there if you need someone to talk to, gives the best advice he could, but stern if you’re not preforming at a place you both know you could be within reason.

The last point doesn’t apply to situations like if you’re worried about something, if you’re injured, if you have something else going on and you’re more focused on that, etc. If you’re the type to try and push yourself too far(possibly to the point of injury) he’d have a talk with you about it and assure you injury or possible injury isn’t worth proving anything or showing off.

And there has been multiple situations where hunters have accidentally called him dad.

I haven’t watched Day of Sigma for a while so I don’t know how close it is to that(even though it’s arguably not canon since it’s a Maverick Hunter X tie-in and that was going to be a reinterpretation of the X series).

[khodorkovskaya]

I'm worried that I'm boring like that dude, I'm not really a sporty person though, what can I do to become more interesting and well rounded as a person?????? PLEASE????? I really dont wanna be like or sed like that dude

No offence to him tho, like not in a bad way...

to be completely honest with you, i have no idea. because i also have a suspicion that im super boring because yes, i do a lot of things and have a lot of hobbies/interests, but when it comes to conversation i just like don't have a lot of thoughts and opinions. i can talk about my hobbies like "ooo im so excited to go to skating camp" or info dump about dinosaurs or whatever. but when it comes to more profound conversation i just like never have anything to say. so my strategy is to really ask myself questions and try to figure out what i actually believe in and think and stuff like that. because once you get past the stage of like superficial talk with me, it just doesn't go anywhere, you know?

with certain people tho what i do is that i start talking about the interesting people in my life. like stories about my father or lucien or panda or my friends always entertain people. because i know so many "weirdos" (i say that in the most affectionate way btw) and they're all so much more interesting than me. but that poses another problem that often people remember me as "the girl whose dad is a flat earther" or "the girl whose student is obsessed with the military". and people aren't really interested in me for me.

and another tricky thing about this approach is that some people really vibe with those stories, whereas with others it's just like not the place to talk about it. like with the ukrainian guy i went on a date on, he was just like too plain, so i couldn't even talk about all my favourite "weirdos". like you need to have some sort of sense of humour to be able to appreciate my stories about my flat earther father or lucien, you know? and he just didn't give off the vibe of someone who'd really vibe with that.

but back to your question, i think first of all it's important to be interested in things to be interesting. even if it results in infodumping. like id much rather talk to a person who's obsessed with something niche than someone who's like "yeah, idk, i don't really do much". for me personally i know that i have a very neurodivergent way of approaching hobbies and interests. like i get obsessed with everything and can't be chill about things. but at the same time i always stay very superficial with everything i do. so being obsessed with things doesn't make me more interesting, it just makes me come off as a little strange, you know? but if you're able to enjoy things normally, just like go to as many events as you can, take up some sports activities or classes. and through that you will gain new experiences and become more intresting.

another important thing about coming off as an interesting person is having passion. in the sense that you have to be passionate about life. going back to the dude i went on a date on, he just appeared as like quite passive and uninterested in things. but if you're passionate about life and the things you do, you'll naturally be able to talk about things more and it'll give you that little spark in your eyes, you know what i mean? like if you stay in your room all day and have an uninterested attitude towards everything in life, ofc you won't be an interesting person. and passion is important to be an overall wellrounded person. you have to be curious about everything and openminded and yeah just like passionate about things.

but idk im not the best person to give advice about this whole thing bc it's something i struggle with too. i feel like i know nothing and have nothing to talk about apart from like the two-three things im obsessed with at the moment:

second hand fashion and sustainability, our family business and our startup, also VAT laws for some reason really scratch an itch

that one documentary about dinosaurs with david attenborough

me and my cousin's interpretation of milan kundera's immortality

figure skating drama and how excited i am for skating camp

???? singing in the church choir i guess but like there's nothing to say about it, im just obsessed

when im hanging out with my oxford bestie we talk about north korea non stop, that's like our common hyperfixation for some reason

that's it

[purpleturtle9000]

Hihihihi this is an ask for anything that you want to put in Clever Girl but had to put aside/save for later/your favorite part(s) to write/if you want to highlight anything that you’re extra proud of go wild go crazy

true friendship

Hey did you know that Berriasian–Hauterivian era Upper Yellow Cat Member palynoflora consisted of 98.5% seed plants and only 1.5% spores? There is absolutely nobody in my life who finds this relevant but it's cool. And there is no evidence of osteophagy in theropods according to the fossil record!

I have been digging through a fair number of scientific papers, because as the tag says, "god forbid the fic about ninja turtles having dinosaur teammates is unrealistic".

Raph has throwing stars according to the novelisation and I have built on that to have Donnie give him metal casts of raptor claws like the world's sharpest brass knuckles. Donnie jumped out of a plane without a parachute he is insane and I need to expand on it in fic. And giving his brother metal dino claws seems like a good way to do that.

And Raph is his favourite brother and I need to expand on that also! They've spent the most time together because Donnie is up at random hours being nerdy, and Raph is insomniac. Donnie has a red lava lamp in his lab cause of that, and Raph is the second youngest and a graffiti artist and has two kinds of anxiety, while we're talking headcanons. Also Donnie chose tortoiseshell glasses on purpose and tried to modify Leo's katanas once to have taser hilts but Leo tased himself by accident several times so Donnie had to take em out.

Sierra being the pack leader is a reference to Raptor Red! Aggressive, bold, connected to the colour red, has a name starting in S. Ironically I had several Utahraptor OCs for like ten years before reading that but I'm 😍 over the entire novel tyvm.

The raptors regularly shed feathers and each of the boys keeps at least one of the primary feathers of their respective raptors. Donnie will bother Whiskey every so often by tickling her with the feather and she always looks like she's very close to eating him. For a turtle who originally thought they should leave the raptors because they were too dangerous to be in close contact with, he does like teasing her.

I'm basing most of the raptors' theoretical behaviour on crocodiles and Accipitridae, but I am being self-indulgent in making just one (1) reference to cassowaries. When the girls are very, very angry they make this noise as a warning that You're About to Get Fucked (best with headphones).

I had a brief idea of one of the raptors trying to jump Splinter for food upon meeting him, cause they hunted rats that got into their pen before and therefore recognise him as edible (never saw a turtle before so no turtle-eating instinct). But then I decided there were enough drama without that thrown in and it got left on the cutting room floor. Mostly cause I couldn't figure out a justification in-verse for keeping the superpredator that tried to eat dad.

Also while we're on the subject of Splinter, there is nothing funnier in the movies than Leo constantly relying on Splinter for advice only to say 'the only vote that counts in this family is mine' like did your dad tell you to say that too orrrr

Also also enjoy these lines from chapter three:

“It’s fine,” Donnie says, gesturing toward the dashboard. “Unless you’re chicken.”

“Hey,” Raph growls, bristling at the very word. “I ain’t chicken, nerd!”

Cause being the favourite sibling also means being bothered the most, and I know in my heart of hearts that Donnie has perfected the art of annoying Raph to the edge of insanity but not to the point of being hunted for sport.

Moonlight Chicken Ep. 3

yes this did take me days to get through, in my defense in that time period I flew across an ocean and had a time zone change of 16 hours

anyways onto the episode!

I am very happy with how they dealt with the angst and possible misunderstandings of wen's job vs jim's restaurant, cause yeah ofc his anger made sense but also its not exactly wen's fault (also I am just a very big fan of wrapping up issues within the episode they start, I don't need drawn out drama and loose ends ok)

that flashback with jim's ex? oof that was painful but hey it gave us wen's line about how love has no gender so im ok

li ming's struggle with his feeling of powerlessness in determining his own future was very well done but also opened the door to a little self-psychoanalyzing (which I don't have the time to get into but something about well written teen characters is so cathartic to me)

but also him wearing a sesame street shirt while talking to wen killed me

praew (pls tell me I spelled that right) is an icon and I love her, her and leng are adorable and hilarious

ofc heart & li ming were adorable this whole episode. from that chin thing and heart doing what I described in my notes as "the thing from the end of dino’s snapshoot rap" because I literally don't know any other way of describing it, and then their little float and the sleepover(?) that I was not expecting. love it all, they are my favorites and ngl I kinda wish I could be friends with gemini & fourth

I also loved the familial relationships we got to see this episode? ofc gaipa and his mom are so sweet, I love how comfortable they are. but then wen and his step(?)dad were an unexpected treat. I was not expecting him to be so supportive and sweet, but I love how close they are especially given that he's not wen's bio dad. we love representation of unconventional families

also sidenote this episode made me wish I had a wen in my life. like im around the age of li ming and their relationship really has me wanting an older figure to give advice and everything, you know?

OH ALSO I can't believe I almost forgot but FIRST!!!!!! finally he is here but damn that intro with the lighting and music was so foreboding

[twd-obsessed-bitch]

Just because I like to cause myself and me friends pain, and these are floating in my head, here's some Shane Walsh being a dad to Judith HC

There's no real order to these

-he gets a little more than upset when Judy goes to daryl for something instead of him

-like when it's something big he puts on a disappointed dad face but when it's something small hes just hurt

-there was tension between Rick and Shane about who's kid she is but the moment they laid their eyes on her they made a silent pact to both be her dad

-when Judith started talking she copied Carl with saying "Uncle Shane" and calling Rick "dad" and Rick has to reassure Shane that babies just mimic people

-when Negan starts bonding with Judith Shane loses his shit

-like he literally almost goes and beat the life out of Negan

-Daryl and Michonne have to talk him down because it was one of Rick's last big choices

-Shane goes and cools off before talking to Judith, who tells him Michonne already did

-when Judith gets scared the first person she runs to is Shane

-who gathers her up in a big hug and tells her everything's going to be alright

-he does it everytime, no matter what he's doing or what's going on

-for bedtime stories Shane tells Judith about all the things he did before the world ended

-she always asks him if he was scared and he replies "no, not really, I was ever truly scared until you started walking"

-that makes her laugh and Shane tells Michonne that it's his favourite sound

-the truth is he felt real fear twice before that, when Rick was shot, and back at the prison, when he found her bloody car seat with Rick and Carl

-he all but lost his mind

-when Maggie tells everyone she's pregnant Glenn pulls Shane aside and asks for him to be there "if anything ever happens"

-Shane of course says yes(he loves being a dad what's another kid to add to the pile?) but then tells Glenn that nothing's going to happen

-Shane taught Judith how to shoot

-she wanted to learn but was to scared to ask Shane so she went to uncle Daryl, who said the only thing he could teach was the crossbow but she wasn't big enough yet

-when Shane finds out he goes and finds Judith and she immediately starts talking about how she just wants to help keep people safe, she wants to be like him and Rick and Michonne

-Shane just silently hands her Rick's (unloaded) gun

-when Judith kills her first walker out on a walk with Shane and Daryl the former can't help but beam with pride

-when the get back to Alexandria he's telling everybody he sees "my girl killed her first walker today and that thing was bigger than me!"

-Shane is very much known for sticking to his decisions once he comes to them. Daryl found a way around it by getting Judith to ask Shane not to do something the group was trying to talk him out of

-Shane knows Daryl does this

-but he still can't say no to Judith

-when somebody tried give Shane unsolicited parenting advice when Judy was a baby Shane taught her to slap people in the face when he held her out a certain way

-now when somebody does it he gives Judith a look and she drops to the ground, it's become somewhat of a game for them now vs when it started and he was just annoyed with people

-every year around spring Shane tries to find Judith a birthday gift, her favourite one is his 22 necklace. One year he found a triceratops stuffy and a Dino book that she still has him read to her every night

That's all I got right now, but as always with my head cannon posts, feel free to add more

CAMP CRETACEOUS S3 SPOILERS

I've only watched till ep5 but WTF WTF WTF

Brooklyn ? Thinking Sammy wanted advice on a crush ? And going "is it Darius? Kenji? Yaz?" LIKE YEAH IT DOESNT CONFIRM SHIT ABOUT YASAMMY BUT THE FACT THAT IT ISN'T ASSUMED TO BE A BOY JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY IDKK no heteronormativity here yup

Kenji and his daddy issues make me so sad smh. When there is literally zero pictures of you in your dads penthouse. Also ! The fact that he thinks his wealth is the only way to impress his friends gives me Kai from The Hollow vibes.

I'm confused as to how they had swimsuits ? Did they take them from their luggage from the wreckage of the camp and if so, id have thought it would be too torn and stuff. Side note Yasmina looks beautiful.

Yasmina telling Sammy their friendship has an expiration date. I know what she means but like no shit ,every friendship has an expiry date .

THE SHOT WITH YASMINA AND SAMMY STANDING ON DIFFERENT SIDES KF THE FENCSHWBRVDJ.

"We have nothing in common apart from running for our lives all the time. Take that away, what is there?" Bestie you two were getting along just fine before the dino crisis ffs.

SAMMY IS HURT OF FUCKING COURSE ugh. Yaz's "sammy" standing out at the end of sammy passing out im in tears.
