IM GOING INSANE OVER MY ROTTMNT IC AND I NEED TO WRITE IT DOWN OKAY

warning its super long, this is mostly for me

So kirby and frida were mutated after the og boys were but they arent younger than them bc of their unmutanted turtles age. Kirby is a bit younger than raph (and hes not really build for big brothering) and I think frida is like aprils age. A year after Draxums lab was destroyed, he was in a semi stable living environment but was frankly bored. he managed to salvage some his mutagen notes from the ruins of his old lab. He used those notes and what he could still remeber to recreate a mutagen. He still had this obsession with creating mutants (sort of like how he was w his lil food mutant). He ended up making a stable and similar enough mutagen to his original design. He made about a bucketful. throughout this process, hugin and moonin are very skeptical and not super supportive of daxums spontaneous experiments. Draxum had stolen two different breeds of turtles from the local zoo to use for this experiment. one, a 3.5 year old yellow bellied slider(frida) and a 4 year old map turtle (kirby). He dropped those turtles into theat bucket of mutagen and to his (and hoogin and moonins) surprise it worked just fine. he now had two mutated turtle babies. Not soon after, his living conditions, which were bad already, got worse and he was unable to take care of his beloved children. He left the yellow bellied slider for big mama, who he knew always was looking for new warriors. Big mama did nit want the responsibility of two of them though. So draxum left the mao turtle somewhere else (idk where im still figuring that out hahdbd

At time the series takes place, he was encouraged by his caretaker to get a job (or repo is his caretaker?? im not 100%) so kirby gets a job working for repo mantis to do repo work. He definitely failed getting todds rv back before donnie and mikey attempted to. repo taught him to be tougher and how to be intimidating to better his repo skills. So it definitely plays into his personality later on.

movie period he was just living his life when the krang arrived. And he got krangified a little later in the krang invasion so he wasnt a krang zombie until about the point donnie was the spaceship. If he was krangified before the turtles were giving them trouble, he would have been utilized by the kraang like raph was. So in canon the main reason raph was with them and was different was because he was stronger than the other organisms on the earth. I dont think he really was thought of as anything else after they recovered the key. They didnt care about the turtles or anyone, they didn't truly believe they were a mayor threat until the space ship started going back into the prison dimension. Up until then their rebellion was amusement to the kraang. Ou im getting iff topic- Im saying I think the lraang would have brought all their strongest zombies to be close to them whether they be humans, animals, mutants, or yokai. Kirby, along with others would have been up there with raph if the kraang had more time. Kirby was kraangified abruptly and suddenly so he was in a state of shock and before he knew what had just happend, he was already kraangified. A bunch of kraang goo was launched at his face immediately blinding him and easily taking control of his body being that a bunch of kraang stuff already went in his eye.

in one of the qnas w ron corcillo, he said that he would to make a casey jr and casey focused spinoff series where they hunt KRAANG REMAINS. So its kind of canon that kraang did not fully disappear after the invasion. thats were I buikt off of. Kirby had so much kraang stuff in his body, that after the invasion, he was still kraangified just less strong. I would imagine his first encounter with the turtles would be with him being the hooded enemy. He would maybe be too strong the first time and get away. The turtles would obviously not be down witht this crazy kraang mutant running around so they would hunt him down. donnie would probably unkraagify him with techy tech that he probably composed, un hooding him in the process. Unkraangified he obviously does NOT trust these turtles. All he has seen of them was through the fuzzy krang memories of them trying to hurt him. That doesnt seem very trustworthy to him.

he doesnt go back to repo or whatever family he had after being unkraangified because he doesn't know where they are now, if they even survived the invasion, or if they even care about him anymore, given that he had been kraangified for so long after the invasion and nobody had come looking for him. The turtles come across him again (somewhere..?) where ever he is hiding out trying to get his strength back. He feels weaker than before but he is stronger than ever muscle wise (the kraang basically forcing hik to work out 24/7 for months) but mentally he is unwell. Its kind of a phantom pain kinda situation. Raph finds him o. one of his solo patrols (that he takes even though he doesn't love being alone for that long). Raph and him end up bonding over same trauma and shared interests.

EXTRA RANDOM KIRBY FACTS:

-he roller blades😧😧

-his favorite color USED to be pink

-regularly uses sarcasm but literally nobody can tell

-pretty good at manipulation if needed

-defaults to a tough guy persona but it really isnt suuper intimidating once he starts talking

-really bad at crying, he wants too but it just doesnt work (his hypothesis was that the kraang stuff messed uo his tear glands but that was jot the case)

-overstimulated AF

-LOVES CATSS

-apologizing problem to people he respects

A Little Respect (ao3) - Misterkingdom E, 8k

Summary: It’s been three months since Thor had invited himself on to Peter’s ship—three patronizing, undermining, superficial months.

He observed Peter like he was amused, like he found Peter adorable.

Summary: "Man, I love you," Quill whispers to himself, his heart aching in his chest. He opens the door and leaves the main section of the ship, believing that his secret is safe with himself, and that Thor had been deep asleep.

Thor opens his eyes, a small smirk on his face.

Summary: "you even taste like the stars."

"what?"

[fictional-actors-bracket]

Fictional media bracket, Round 1B.3

Propaganda under the cut:

Praying Mantis Joe: [No propaganda submitted]

Kniroun: "OH BOY. A fictional play based on a fictional video game series that takes Arthurian Mythology, shakes it around ‘til it’s a totally unique telling, and turns it into a full-fledged jrpg? Sign me up!!

I think there’s a lot to say about this play, but I’ll try to keep it simple; character-wise, the protagonist (Lancelot) is one character’s absolute dream role that he never knew he needed, being a huge fan of the original game series (understatement), and in the overall story it’s one of the most obvious showcases of how the in-universe theater company has grown, both in terms of acting and in terms of budget!

(Bonus points: some of the names associated with kniroun in-universe heavily imply that the game series is this universe’s Dragon Quest, which is extra points in the submitter’s book.)"

"Knights of Round (Kniroun in Japanese, KotR in English) is an RPG game series created by Hoshii Yoichi and developed by End Links. As of now, there are 9 installments in the series (I to IX), with the 10th game being highly anticipated by many fans. The series has been going on for almost 2 decades. Set in medieval Britannia, you play as Lancelot, a noble knight server under King Arthur, and are usually accompanied by the fairy Gwen. The characters in this game are inspired by characters in the Arthurian mythos.

Specifically, Knights of Round IV: The Stage is a stage adaptation of the fourth Kniroun game (which is chronologically the first game, a la Star Wars). Which, yes, means this is a stageplay of a game in a game. And there's also a real life stage play adaptation of the game (A3!), so there's a stageplay of a stageplay of a game in a game. Crazy. Anyway, actual propaganda time.

Kniroun IV: The Stage (hereafter referred to as Kniroun IV) is the lead play of character Itaru Chigasaki. Now, the focus is also on the events that surround it. In universe, the creator of the Kniroun series is super choosy about adaptations. However, they've decided to allow Mankai Company, an as of yet relatively unknown theater troupe, perform it. Why, you ask? WELL, THE HEAD OF THE PR TEAM IS ITARU'S EX. I WISH I WAS MAKING THIS UP. THEY HAD A DRAMATIC AND TRAUMATIC FALLING-OUT IN HIGH SCHOOL WHICH LEFT ITARU UNABLE TO FORM CLOSE INTERPERSONAL BONDS FOR YEARS. AND THEN HERE HE COMES, THE BASTARD, COMING TO THE THEATER TROUPE THAT ITARU'S PART OF, OFFERING THE CHANCE OF KNIROUN STAGE TO HIM KNOWING FULL WELL THAT ITARU WILL TAKE THE OFFER AND TAKE THE LEAD. YOU'VE HEARD OF CALLING YOUR EX, THIS IS LITERALLY WORSE.

Anyway, Kniroun IV is a super fun fantasy play. You follow Lancelot, and he's accompanied by Gwen. And since you can't see Gwen in the Kniroun games, she's represented by a cute little light. Lancelot has a fruity little camaraderie with Gawain, which kind of falls apart for a while because Merlin is evil and brainwashed King Arthur and Gawain swore himself to King Arthur but Lancelot cares more about the fairies who raised him so they're kind of on opposing sides, and also Gawain's little brother kind of took a hit for Lancelot and now he's dead and Gawain super blames him for that. Anyway, they're fucking TERRIBLE.

There's cool swordfighting scenes, and hot evil wizards, and hot knights, literally what's not to love!!!"

Hiii! Can I request headcanons with the Guardians? Peter is in love with Y/N and the rest of the guardians fall for her platonically

Hello! I think this is the first time I've written anything for the Guardians, so thanks for sending this in!

Warnings: Yandere themes, mentions of kidnapping

When the Guardians first met you, none of them were really trying to get attached to you in any fashion. They're already a tight family, and their profession wouldn't allow them to bring in anyone unless absolutely needed.

And that's really all you were at first. Someone they needed to get a job done. Someone who happened to have some type of information or gadget that was important.

All they were planning to do was get whatever they needed from you, pay you, and then part ways. But before anyone could anticipate it, you quickly get dragged into their mess before that could happen.

At first, they feel pretty bad about it, to be honest. They're aware of how much stupid and dangerous stuff they do. Involving an innocent person was never what they wanted.

But as this certain stupid and dangerous situation goes on, the more reason they see to keep you with them.

Technically, now that you've been seen with them, there will be people who really don't like the Guardians who might come after you if you're left alone.

At least, that's the excuse they give to you and themselves as to why they want to keep you with them.

The only ones I think would be even semi-aware would be Gamora, Nebula, and Kraglin.

Gamora's always been calmer and more reasonable than the others. I think she'd feel guilty for dragging you into all this, but the further things go, the more she wants to make sure you're safe, especially if you can't fight.

Nebula, especially earlier in the series, would find it so difficult to get attached. She only just started seeing the Guardians as family, so adding a new person to the mix that seems to have them all going crazy? Yeah, she's going to be a bit skeptical.

Either she's going to be your saving grace or your worst nightmare. Since she takes so long to grow obsessed, I can see her spotting how unhealthy the Guardians are with you and just finding a way out for you. A kindness that ends up having everyone on a manhunt to find you.

But if she falls down that obsessive rabbit hole before that, she will struggle with it a lot. Again, she's barely gotten to the point of accepting Gamora as her sister and the Guardians as a family, so becoming attached to you has her being very mean to you at first.

She'll get better, though, and will be just as protective as Gamora.

Kraglin would likely just try to sidestep this entire ordeal. He can see how protective the others are and sympathizes with you, but is not about to go toe to toe with them. He'll just try to make your stay a bit better.

The rest of them will be completely delusional. Peter and Drax especially.

When Peter starts liking you, he'll end up falling hardcore. With the others' encouragement, he will never see what's wrong about how much he feels for you.

He does start out pretty normal. He sees you, he likes you, so he starts flirting with you.

However, if you take a while to respond to this, or flat out don't respond at all, this will only make Peter fall harder. He tends to like people who play hard to get.

The further his obsession develops, the more delusional he'll get, especially if you've rejected him. He'll just see it as you being stubborn or playing a little game.

When Drax starts to see you as a little sibling, there's no stopping him from fully committing to that feeling. He's lost his entire family, so there's nothing he wouldn't do to protect you.

And if you fight a bit, well, he'll just think of it as something akin to an emotional outburst. He never takes your emotions very seriously if they're hostile to him.

And Mantis, as sweet as she is, doesn't really have a good grasp on what's normal. All she had was Ego until she met the Guardians, so as far as she's aware, what's happening to you is fine.

Sure, you may fight sometimes, but she can help with that. She helped Ego get to sleep when he was upset all the time.

And last but not least, Rocket and Groot.

Rocket, strangely enough, would take on the role of an older brother pretty easily. He wouldn't ever admit it, but he finds taking care of you pretty fun, even though he acts like an ass about it.

He's not really delusional, but like Drax, he never takes any of your negative outbursts seriously. He just sees it as you acting immature.

They protect you, they feed you, and Peter even has this stupid puppy dog crush on you that Rocket can make fun of. What more can you want.

And Groot is a lot like Mantis. He'll likely grow up seeing how the others act with you and see it as completely normal. While he may not be as obsessive as the others, he'll do his part in what he believes is protecting you.

This means if you haven't accepted things and are actively being held captive, Groot is kind of the go-to for standing guard so you don't escape.

It really hurts him when you fight or yell at him. He sees you as an older sibling and even a parent. He hates it when you're angry at him, but he can't understand why.

Everyone else always tells him that this is okay, that you belong with them and need to be protected. So why do you seem so sad?

Today let's discuss adding a character from Metal Gear! Metal Gear is such a, bizarre, franchise. The story is wild and inconsistent. It's a stealth series, but it'd be easy to convince people it wasn't. That is how crazy it is. It has a rich story and is very difficult to explain it all.

That all being said Metal Gear as a franchise is also rich in characters. In several different ways, from design to story to powers and abilities. As a result, it'd be pretty easy to assume, that it would be hard to pick a character... and yet, only one character ever gets requested to my knowledge. And that is Raiden, who was in Playstation all stars Battle Royale. Much as I, personally, LOVE that game, I want to be more original as Raiden is also my first choice, but I wanna be a little more original like I said. To that end I've chosen...

Psycho Mantis! "I see you've been playing Super Smash Brothers Melee!" Or in this case, Ultimate I guess. I always love psychic abilities on characters. There's always so many possibilities. The only psychic we have right now is Mewtwo, so let's see one that isn't a pokemon, shall we?

For Neutral B he can create waves that deal damage around him like how he can in the game.

For Up B he focuses his power on himself and flies up. Think Rob but you only push the button once.

For Side B He can throw bullets like how he reflects them in the game. If a projectile is close enough to him when he performs this he also throws that projectile. Basically a projectile that is also a reflector.

For Down B he teleports behind the character who attacked him and performs a counter. Since we mentioned PSABR, I'll use it for reference, thing Sly's counter in that game. He does a similar thing when you fight him.

I really like Psycho Mantis as a character and power archetype. I'd probably end up playing him if he got added. Granted, I don't play just one character in a fighting game, I think I play like, 22 characters in Smash....maybe more? Would you guys be interested in learning who I like to play in smash? I'm curious. I ask as if I'm not just talking into the void.

Buffy, the vampire slayer: The Puppet Show - It’s so refreshing when a television series tackles something so relatable, I mean who hasn’t been hit on by a horny wooden dummy that can do things without someone’s hand up its backside?!?! Just me… oh! Surprising. Anyway, Buffy and her friends are forced to take part in the Sunnydale High Annual Talentless Show which becomes the backdrop for murder and brain removal. Buffy suspects Sid… the dummy…. because he freaks her out, she’s genuinely scared of a puppet despite the fact that she’s fought vampires! Witches! Giant praying mantis demons! Teenagers possessed by Hyena breath and a giant fucking robot 🤖!!!! So anyway everyone thinks Buffy’s crazy but the dummy is actually alive and before you ask “what in the R.L. Stine” it turns out that Sid is a demon hunter, trapped in a dummy… a very, VERY horny demon hunter I might add! So anyway they have to kill this other demon that kind of looks like a lizard that’s been sitting out in the sun too long. There’s also a new principal named Snyder and he’s a hoot! So strap in and strap on in order to protect yourself from a sexually aggressive dummy and a slithering green demon man, but most importantly you must protect yourself from Cordelia Chase’s singing… YIKES! I guess learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. I can’t wait for Sid’s tell all memoir to come out, he might be dead but I still feel like someone should write it… someone who isn’t me.

YJ Season 4 Arc Rankings Part 2

#3-Raquel’s Arc

I was curious how they were gonna do Rocket’s Arc since we don’t know as much about her versus the others so it kinda made senses that her arc focused on the overall plot with revealing the main villain as Lor-Zod and the alliance between the Justice League, Green Lantern Core, and New Genesis. So the main development we got from her was between her and her son as she learns to handle his autism. As well as her working with Orion and seeing how he process emotion and trying to understand him better. Love getting to see Razor get his cool Red/Blue Lantern armor and his Luscious Locks. Seeing him on YJ made me go watch the Green Lantern series just because he thought he was hot and I just wanted to know more about him. I like the little villain trio we got with Mantis, M’comm, and Lor-Zod, you can just tell they all hate each other. Shout out to Mantis to carrying the team the last bit and finding the phantom projector just out of spite because Lor-Zod thought he couldn’t do shit. Loved that our heroes actually got to fight the main villian of the season it really did help move the plot along. Very sad we lost Tomar-Re but was not expecting female forger to get his ring but I got pretty hyped from that. 

Rocket gets a 7/10

#2-Dick’s Arc

Let’s be real here this wasn’t really Nightwing’s Arc this was just the ending Arc. Dick got the first ep to flex his detective skills, connecting the dots to stuff we as the viewer already knew while everyone else looked at him like he was crazy. After that the show was like “Okay baby everyone knows who you are, step aside so we can connect the rest of these plots. I was pretty surprised by how easy it was for our heroes to get into the phantom, the harder part for sure was just trying to get Conor to come out. Definitely felt some jealousy from Lor-Zod when he saw his dad took Conor under his wing even though he was still gonna manipulate him. Switching gears to I think the Legion of Superheroes should think about giving Phanton girl a bell to communicate with because every time she opened her mouth she just caused more problems. I’m not trying to hate on the girl but she was asleep for more than half the season so she’s a little behind. It was really intreating not having the light be involved in the big final battle but shit those rough kryptonians worked fast, they were on earth for like 20 mins and there this close to killing superman. But of course everything worked out for our heroes with defeating the Zods and Conor remembering who he is. Seeing Icicle Jr at SuperMartian’s wedding legit brought tears to my eye because I was so happy he was invited. 

Dick gets a 8/10

#1- Conor and M’gann’s Arc

This was also pretty close between Dick’s arc and Conor and M’gann’s arc but conor and M’gann’s arc actually forces on it’s main characters and sets up the main plot for the whole season so it gets the top spot. Idk if it was just the fact that it was more then 2 years since I got to see some new YJ but I was just so happy to see our beloved characters back again. I love getting to see and learn about Mars and meeting M’gann parent and her little sister.  J’onn what’s your address again cause I gotta make sure you get your best uncle award for how you defended your nieces. Reliving the childhood between the M’orzz siblings was very emotional and the line of “I was just a child” I think really encapsulate what young justice is. Young heroes taking on burdens that is well beyond their years with this burden being racism. I thought the murder mystery was also clever with it taking place on a planet of telepaths but yet no one knows who did it. You can kinda tell that Conor wasn’t gonna stay dead with him being killed off in ep 4 of 26 but still not see him come back up from the hole was still heartbreaking. And to who ever idea it was to have the end credits just be M’gann sobbing at the foot of the alter they were support to be married at the next day, You are a foul foul person. 

Conor and M’gann gets a 8.5/10

[gaymer-hag-stan]

Inspired by fistsofcarnage's post found here:

I decided to share my own opinion on the Tekken 8 base roster while we wait for its release!

A more detailed ranking:

Favourites

1. Nina Williams - My Queen since c. 2005

2. Jun Kazama - I really really missed her

3. Lili - Crazy rich girl? Love it

4. Zafina - Weird spider / scarecrow / praying mantis Egyptian lady? Of course I love her

5. Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo - La Reina del cafe is looking GREAT

6. Jin Kazama - Him and Hwoarang have been my main "men allowed on the upper tiers" for a while now

7. Ling Xiaoyu - My love for Xiao is a relatively more recent development but she's a queen alright

8. Hwoarang - Angery kick boi. You love to see it

Love (?) Is a strong word to describe my feelings for the following but I like them alright and maybe even played as them in past Tekken games

9. King - I mean it's king

10. Shaheen - A huge downgrade over his Tekken 7 design, still cool

11. Asuka Kazama - Asuka had tons of potential for me but her one-sided rivalry with Lili and them being positioned as the main female rivalry of the series for a while now (I wonder if it has anything to do with them being teenagers~) has kinda damaged her characterisation a bit for me. She's kinda there for Lili to have something to play with nowadays rather than being her own character. I still like her but nowhere near the amount I liked her in her Tekken 5 era.

12. Steve Fox - Steve is cool. He's okay.

Like

13. Lee Chaolan - This is such a weird redesign... Lee is so extra and fun but I can't stand the new look.

14. Yoshimitsu - Yoshimitsu is Yoshimitsu

15. Reina - Kinda basic but cute

16. Leo Kliesen - Kinda basic but cute

17. Lars - Kinda basic

Neutral / Dislike - My phone and also Tumblr only had an orange-y yellow marker so I merged these two together

18. Victor Chevalier - French James Bond Ninja Noctis Samurai looks kinda cool

19. Raven - I liked Master Raven more

20. Claudio Serafino - I liked him back when he was revealed but he ultimately became too forgettable for me

21. Devil Jin - Edgier Jin. Whatevs

22. Alisa Bosconovitch - Sex slave robot modelled after an old man's dead teenage daughter that a middle-aged man has the hots for will never not be creepy

23. Leroy Smith - Meh

24. Kuma - Even bigger meh, and I'm also still mad that both him and the other fucking bear keep taking up TWO slots but Christie being playable alongside Eddy in Tekken 7 was such a ludicrous idea for Namco

25. Marshall Law - I liked his Tekken 4 / 5 moustached look more. Him gulping all the fucking steroids in the world between Tekken 7 and 8 was not a wise choice

Hate

26. Panda - Read Kuma's entry. She's lower than him because she looks weirder now and I think both look weird when they put clothes on them but she looks weirder this time

27. Kazuya Mishima - Too boring

28. Bryan Fury - Too ugly, boring and loud

29. Paul Phoenix - Too ugly and boring, and also he looks his worst in this redesign

30. Sergei Dragunov - Too boring and ugly but at least he's fun to play with

31. Feng Wei - Too ugly and loud

32. Jack-8 - It's a JACK unit... All these redesigns and upgraded models and Jane still hasn't figured out how to not make him look fucking ridiculous

I'm still missing Anna Williams, Christie Montero and (mum) Kunimitsu. I hope Anna at least fucking makes it as Christie is probably gonna be left out in favour of Eddy again and since they introduced a younger, cutesier and more boring version of Kunimitsu in the form of her daughter I don't think we're ever seeing her again.

I wouldn't mind seeing Katarina return either, Miguel's chest is always nice to look at and I'm DEFINITELY on the Lucky Chloe did nothing wrong camp! I also think that over the years I've grown more fond of Forest than Marshall but unless his dad's liver stops working from all the extra steroids he took I don't see him making it back until the next Tag Tournament

Now I want to see Nintendo do their own Once Upon A Studio style short.

Some day I would love to see Nintendo do their own little short film similar to Once Upon A Studio with all the different Nintendo characters gathered together with a giant group photo at the end.

Xover Possibility: Scooby-Universal-Doo

This is a limited crossover series I'm now considering.

Scooby and the gang have teamed up with several celebrities and a few famous characters in taking down ghosts and solving mysteries under WB's commission, but let's see what happens if they end up in the Universal Pictures cyber universe and end up doing…well, pretty much the same formula, except with versions of the Universal animated characters.

Here are some possibilities I thought up.

Franchise: Despicable Me Characters teamed up with: Felonious Gru, Lucy Wilde, and three of the Minions Type of monster/ghost: Chronology: before Despicable Me 3 or Despicable Me 4 Guest Voices: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Steve Coogan, and Pierre Coffin Chase scene song: "Chuck Berry" by Pharrell Williams (from Despicable Me 3)

Franchise: the Lorax Characters teamed up with: Ted Wiggins, Audrey, and the Lorax (whom Mystery Inc believes is a mascot) Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Michael Cera, Ashleigh Ball, Danny DeVito and Chris Renaud Chase scene song: n/a

Franchise: the Secret Life of Pets Characters teamed up with: Katie, Max, Duke, Gidget, and Snowball Type of monster/ghost: Note: The pets will be able to communicate thanks to a translation device Gru briefly lets the gang borrow Guest Voices: Patton Oswalt, Eric Stonestreet, a Kevin Hart soundalike, Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, and Lori Alan Chase scene song:

Franchise: the Road to El Dorado Characters teamed up with: Modern-day lookalike descendants of Miguel, Tulio and Chel with the same names Type of monster/ghost: Stone Jaguar Guest Voices: Kevin Kline, a Kenneth Branagh soundalike, and Rosie Perez Chase scene song: n/a

Franchise: Shrek/Puss in Boots Characters teamed up with: Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: ??? Chase scene song: ?

Franchise: Wallace & Gromit Characters teamed up with: Wallace & Gromit Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: ??? Chase scene song: a UK rock band song

Franchise: Kung Fu Panda Characters teamed up with: "furry cosplayers" Po and the Furious Five (minus Mantis) Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Jack Black, Kari Wahlgren, David Cross, Lucy Liu, and a Jackie Chan soundalike Chase scene song: Dumpling Warrior Remix (instrumental) from Kung Fu Panda 2

Franchise: Megamind Characters teamed up with: Megamind, Minion, and Roxanne Ritchi Type of monster/ghost: Note: Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate and its TV series would be ignored Guest Voices: Keith Ferguson, David Cross, and Tina Fey Chase scene song: "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osborne

Franchise: Mr. Peabody & Sherman Characters teamed up with: Who else? Mr. Peabody and Sherman Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Chris Parnell and a male child actor Chase scene song: "Way Back When" by Grizzfolk

Franchise: Rocky & Bullwinkle Characters teamed up with: Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Kath Soucie, Tom Kenny, and any voice from the 2018 cartoon Chase scene song: ?

Franchise: Captain Underpants Characters teamed up with: George Beard, Harold Hutchins, and a reluctant Benjamin Krupp/Captain Underpants Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Jay Gragnani, Ramone Hamilton, Jorge Diaz, and either Nat Faxon or Ed Helms Chase scene song: "Captain Underpants" by Weird Al Yankovic

Franchise: the Bad Guys Characters teamed up with: the Bad Guys Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Sam Rockwell, Awkwafina, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, Alex Borstein, and Lily Singh Chase scene song: ?

Franchise: Ruby Gillman Characters teamed up with: Ruby and Agatha Gillman Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Colman Domingo, Sam Richardson, Blue Chapman, Jaboukie White-Young, and Will Forte Chase scene song: n/a

Franchise: Mario Characters teamed up with: Mario and Luigi Type of monster/ghost: Bowser Koopa Guest Voices: Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Jessica Diciccio, and Sebastian Maniscalo Chase scene song: Mario video game music

Franchise: Curious George Characters teamed up with: Curious George and Ted the Man in the Yellow Hat Type of monster/ghost: Guest Voices: Jeff Bennett, Bill Chott, and Rolonda Watts Chase scene song: n/a

I'm not absolutely certain I'll do this, as I'm already committed to other things. In fact, I might give this series idea to someone more qualified to write crossover mysteries. But still, if anyone would like to suggest types of monsters or ghosts Mystery Inc and their new co-detectives would be facing, I could try to think of the episode plots for them. Also, don't suggest the villains' identities unless through private note, otherwise it would kill the mystery.

[airyairyaucontraire]

I saw Kung Fu Panda 4 with my sister’s kids today. I thought it was enjoyable but definitely the fourth best of the series; there were some really imaginative and fun fights and chases, although I must point out that “Crazy Train” is Megamind’s song and arranging it for traditional Chinese instruments doesn’t change that fact. One joke (a tavern with a cute name turns out to be a dive full of ruffians) was directly stolen from Tangled and that’s not cool. The humour and challenge of the tavern being built on a cliff edge and tilting dangerously towards the water when someone as heavy as Po or Li was on one side of it were fun, though.

Barbara was quite disappointed by the lack of Tai Lung (he’s in it, just not enough for her liking) and General Kai and Lord Shen very conspicuously didn’t speak, so either JK Simmons and Gary Oldman declined to return (also I had an “Is Gary Oldman dead?” moment typing this, had to look it up and realised I was thinking of Alan Rickman, mayherestinpeace) or the studio cheaped out (which would surprise nobody here). She had a bit of an emotional crisis at one point (rising tension, peril for our heroes) and tried to get up and leave but I persuaded her to sit back down with my arm around her and she was okay with some moral support.

At times this movie felt oddly isolated from the rest of the series and perhaps as if the writers didn’t know them well enough - at one point, seeing the lights of Juniper City in the distance, Po remarks that he’s never seen a village that big which makes no sense given that one of his greatest adventures took place in Gongmen City. (Also Juniper City sounds like a Pokémon location.) Even if it’s strikingly bigger than Gongmen, Po is familiar with the idea of a city and not that much of a rube. There’s also a running joke that people in Juniper don’t know who the Dragon Warrior is, leading Po to lament “Are my adventures really that regional?”, which seems like a retcon of his importance to make him more of a fish out of water for this story.

(I thought they were setting up a running joke/AtLA reference with Po landing in the cart of a durian merchant, but it only happened twice and there was no “MY DURIANS.” Also absolutely no use of the fact durians have a very strong smell!)

It also suffers from the absence of the Furious Five, said to all be away on separate important missions or, in Mantis’ case, trying to survive his honeymoon. I thought they normally worked as a team. Tigress is obviously missed; her friendship with Po is his most developed relationship other than with his dads (who are very entertaining here as a team), but here there’s no reference to it because of the need to a) reset the adventure difficulty level by removing his usual supports and b) focus on developing a new one with the fox Zhen. And that is well done, I just missed Po’s established friends.

I suppose the biggest weakness of the story is that its whole premise - Po needs to choose his successor as Dragon Warrior and move up to being a spiritual leader like Master Oogway - seems a bit unnecessary. Po is a panda in the prime of life. He could keep Dragon Warrioring for years. Wouldn’t this story make more sense if he was beginning to get on in years, at a stage of life when the whole concept of acceptance of change would naturally become pressing for him? Instead it feels like Shifu arbitrarily imposes it on him.

My favourite gag in the whole thing might be the two monkeys who steal Po’s pants and run away in them, one monkey operating each leg, but there were lots of other laughs and I can recommend it for that. I also thought Po had an interesting response to the classic villain “You’re not so different, you and I” speech. He feels, appropriately, somewhat more mature and responsible in this outing, which I liked. He’s still a big silly guy who loves food and kung fu and hates stairs, who’s comically clumsy until he’s incredibly acrobatic, but he’s a grown-up now.

Kung Fu Panda 4

The Kung Fu Panda series jump-kicked into the world in 2008, with 4 films in total and 2 spinoff shows the franchise is still going on strong.

And speaking of the 4th film, let’s talk about Kung Fu Panda 4.

Po (Jack Black) faces the evil (but uninspiringly named) Chameleon (Viola Davis), who seeks to gain the power of all Kung Fu, and he must team up with the streetwise fox Zhen (Awkafina) to stop her.

Fourth installments are something of a sore subject for me, I was let down by a few flicks such as Toy Story and John Wick, but I think this one may have gotten right.

This is a very well-animated film, I was in awe of the fight choreography and this is coming from someone with multiple disciplines. Every punch kick and weapon swing felt like the real deal.

But the budget must have really leaned into the animation because a few members of the cast were sorely missed. Jackie Chan, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, and David Cross don’t return as Monkey, Tigress, Viper, Mantis and Crane. And while Dustin Hoffman and Ian McShane return, the former was barely in the film.

Jack Black is the goof ball we know and love as he drops the on Viola Davis’ Chameleon. And Awkafina worked very well as Po’s partner in kung fu.

The music was fine, the shamisen cover of Crazy Train was nothing special, but the Tenacious D cover of “Baby One More Time” was everything.

These aren’t arthouse films, so I didn’t expect Oscar-worthy dialogue so at the very least I wasn’t disappointed. But many of the jokes landed, and the lack of fat jokes was wonderful.

The movie showed Po’s overall development throughout the series and it leans into the theme of the film.

This was an earnest love letter to generations of fans, and if this is the franchise’ send-off I am satisfied.

I give Kung Fu Panda 4 a 4 out of 5.

Hi! I want to begin reading the GOTG comic, so I was wondering if you could help this random anon, lol. Is there a better order to start or can I read the new run without previous context?

DO NOT READ THE NEW RUN PLEASE ANON

It's bad its so bad it's offensively bad the way women are written makes me wanna tear my hair out.

Instead! Here's a fun reading list of the start of GOTG:

Annihilation: this is the true start of modern cosmic marvel and reintroduces characters like Star Lord, Gamora, Phyla Vell, Moondragon and Drax (all future members of GOTG). It's also just an utterly fantastic event story

Annihilation Conquest: the follow up to Annihilation, this has the Star Lord mini which features the proto GOTG and introduces Mantis, Rocket, Groot and Bug. Again it's another fantastic event story with a fun villain

Guardians of the Galaxy (2008): One of the team's best runs and the modern introduction. It works best if you have the added context of Annihilation and Conquest but you'll be able to get by reasonably well without them

Thanos Imperative: The end event for this era of cosmic marvel and this iteration of the GOTG

(Bonus) Nova (2007): I'd recommend this series like crazy it's one of Marvels most underrated books

There are ongoings from 2013 onwards however I'd have to recommend Guardians of the Galaxy (2020) by Al Ewing. It's the first GOTG to feel like a real continuation of GOTG2008 and Ewing manages to seamlessly blend that era of characterization with later... stuff by Bendis.

They do have an ongoing right now but it's just bad. I can't sugar-coat it it's just not an enjoyable time for anyone. I've seen it lambasted by both comic and MCU GOTG fans.... it's like apocalyptic if you're pissing off both

HI!! ❤🧡💙💜

I just read most of your one+shots of the boys tmnts and LOVE IT! Is it Gucci to request one???

Dear Anon,

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the kind words, they were a much needed soothing balm for the wounds of this crapstatic day, the cherry to a crapstatic month.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, now is as good a time as any to announce...

There are many straws breaking the camel's back on this one, just to name a few that other creators might understand:

Tumblr's constant changes and platform tweaks that make it less fun to post here. Sadly, when we don't own the platform we are at the mercy of those who do. <<This point snowballs into another.

Life for a grown adult with responsibilities is tough. Carving out time in a busy schedule for a passion is difficult to say the least.

Just to give you small idea of my dilemma, I have 40, yep, you read that right, 4-0...unanswered requests sitting in my box. On top of that, I have 20 started but still-yet-unfinished-requests sitting in my drafts. Not to mention stand alone ideas I have of my own (that I never get to) AND the book series I'm working on with turtle-babe83 (Harlow Noire). So, unless my passions are helping me support my family, the 'freebies' of my passions need to go on the back burner.

Don't worry, I love the guys TOO MUCH to disappear completely & for good. I'm just taking my talent and my stories of the guys behind my own walls, where I am less at the mercy of others. I own a blogging website that I have not done a thing with since setting it up and I am also looking at Patreon as an option.

Before anyone gets their panties and manties in a twist, the TMNT stories will be posted here eventually, just well after (3-6 months after) I post them to the new platform that I am going to.

The benefit of those who choose to follow me to the other platform, once I decide what it is, will get to see the stories posted before those on Tumblr AND I'll consider requests from those people if I open request on that platform.

The simple fact of the matter is, my mind is crazy inventive. I have stories-beyond-stories of my own making (TMNT and OC) rolling around in this paper-weight on my shoulders and I am not getting time to get them out by doing free requests for everyone.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE your requests and asks. I LOVE the trust that you put in me to do YOUR idea justice. You HONOR me. It is an HONOR that I can't even convey or attempt to repay.

It all comes down to one thing...there just simply isn't enough of me to go around.

Until oh-Donnie-boy invents a cloning machine and makes a few of me, I'm going to have to step back and focus on:

My ideas and endeavors that help to support my family.

Thanks for your understanding.

Mystery Monday #25: Genius Foreshadowing

Amphibia's crew is amazing at foreshadowing. Sometimes the foreshadowing is obvious, and other times... not so much. Here are a few instances of foreshadowing and patterns that you might not have noticed:

The first enemy that Anne has to fight off in Amphibia is a giant mantis. The first enemy that Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy and the rest of the s3 earth characters have to fight off is also a giant mantis.

Loggle had a buff statue of himself in his shop in Cane Crazy, foreshadowing his actual appearance in season 3.

In Lily Pad Thai, Stumpy says that his cleaver hand is carved from the bones of his missing hand. Which comes back when he has to test the force field to see if it's been disabled yet in Sprivy.

At the end of Adventures in Catsitting, a drugged up Anne says "Domino is not just a cat. She is the alpha and omega, an interdimensional being beyond all time and space." Obviously this foreshadows The Guardian taking Domino's form.

Speaking of which, Anne has a poster behind her bed. Beyond looking like the beginning of Super Mario Galaxy, it is the same place where she meets The Guardian.

In Marcy at the Gates, Marcy remarks to Sprig that she's "never seen a frog your color before." This implies that pink is a rare color for a frog, which could be foreshadowing to Leif being the ancestor of the Plantars.

Ivy attempts to run away from home and join up with Sprig to travel the world in Ivy on the Run. This comes back in the finale when she and Sprig actually run away to travel the world.

In a season 1 episode that I can't remember right now, Polly asks Hop Pop if he's going to fix the door, and he responds "Eventually." In Cursed!, Hop Pop finally gets around to trying to fix that door, with less-than-stellar results.

In The New Normal, when Anne is talking to her parents for the first time within the series, Polly is hiding in a trash can with Frobo's head and Teddy Lovekins. This is the same teddy bear that Anne eventually tries to give Polly to replace Frobo, and the same one Polly rips the batteries from in order to power Frobo.

In Cane Crazy, Loggle tries to charge Anne, Sprig and Polly for the map to the Doom Tree, but Anne snaps a picture of it with her phone instead. In The New Normal, Anne thinks ahead to take a picture of the shopping list before they leave.

In Best Fronds, Hop Pop tries to lock Anne in the house to keep her safe from the other frogs in Wartwood. In Fort in the Road, Hop Pop tries to lock everybody else in the f'wagon to keep them safe from all the dangers on the road. And in The New Normal, Mr. Boonchuy tries to lock the Plantars in the house to keep them safe from the government and the rest of humanity.

In Reunion, Hop Pop tells Anne "You don't have to do this," [fight Sasha] and she responds "Yes I do." In True Colors, Sasha tells Anne and Marcy "I can totally send you two home," and Anne refuses. In Escape to Amphibia, Mr. X decides to leave Anne and her parents when taking the Plantars away, and they all know immediately that they have to go after them. In All In, Anne says that she knows Andrias's offer to call off the invasion if she can beat him in single combat is a trap, but she has to do it anyway. And in The Hardest Thing, Mother Olm says that "the choice is yours" whether to destroy The Core or head back to earth, and Sasha goes "You call that a choice?"

In True Colors, Polly has an itchy butt all day. Then by the end of the episode, she grows her legs. (I included this one because it's not immediately clear that these two things are connected, and I didn't notice it on first watch.)

I will update this list as I think of more, so make sure to check back on it later. These are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head.

And I'm sorry this came out so late this week, but I had other things to do.
