Crack idea: Khaji Da either spends time online and hears all of the Furby horror stories, or Jaime and it witness a Furby making noise and moving and Khaji Da cannot detect a power source. From that point on, it has a “mild” fear of Furbys and demands for Jaime to eliminate the threat with extreme prejudice and ludicrous amounts of force.
AKSLLDLFLKG OH MY GOD YES.
Jaime is more than willing to acquiesce to Khajis sense of Extreme Overkill. Just this once. DESTROY THE SOULLESS CREATURE. IT'S EMPTY EYES HOLD NOTHING BUT NIGHTMARES.

He shuddered, and for a moment he regretted that he had not told Basil the true reason why he had wished to hide the picture away. Basil would have helped him to resist Lord Henry’s influence, and the still more poisonous influences that came from his own temperament. The love that he bore him—for it was really love—had nothing in it that was not noble and intellectual. It was not that mere physical admiration of beauty that is born of the senses and that dies when the senses tire. It was such love as Michelangelo had known, and Montaigne, and Winckelmann, and Shakespeare himself. Yes, Basil could have saved him. But it was too late now. The past could always be annihilated. Regret, denial, or forgetfulness could do that. But the future was inevitable. There were passions in him that would find their terrible outlet, dreams that would make the shadow of their evil real.
As gay as I am for this, it's still very telling about Dorian's character. He's unwilling to take any responsibility for himself. He blames all his "corruption" on Henry and casts Basil as the saint-like lover that could have saved him from such evil, making every action of his dependent on another. Oh yes, Dorian does have the potential for good, but it's too late! Basil can't save him now, and he obviously cannot clean up his act himself!
It was a novel without a plot and with only one character, being, indeed, simply a psychological study of a certain young Parisian who spent his life trying to realize in the nineteenth century all the passions and modes of thought that belonged to every century except his own, and to sum up, as it were, in himself the various moods through which the world-spirit had ever passed, loving for their mere artificiality those renunciations that men have unwisely called virtue, as much as those natural rebellions that wise men still call sin. [...] One hardly knew at times whether one was reading the spiritual ecstasies of some mediæval saint or the morbid confessions of a modern sinner. It was a poisonous book. The heavy odour of incense seemed to cling about its pages and to trouble the brain. The mere cadence of the sentences, the subtle monotony of their music, so full as it was of complex refrains and movements elaborately repeated, produced in the mind of the lad, as he passed from chapter to chapter, a form of reverie, a malady of dreaming, that made him unconscious of the falling day and creeping shadows.
But as much as I make fun of Dorian for posing Henry as this evil, all-corrupting force, Henry is obviously milking this Mephistopheles act for all its worth. SERIOUSLY DUDE?? Man gives him a whole-ass book romanticizing sin knowing Dorian would eat it up. Manwhore behaviour.

Hi yes same anon that “complained” (for lack of better word) about how heartbreaking the flashback of Donnie’s death was.. YEAH UHHH ONE QUESTION I JUST REALIZED if Leo was knocked tf out by a sedative, and his arm was dead weight… how’d he get back to base before any Kraang found him? Donnie send the team to pick him up? Did he tell them what he’d done? Leave a note taped to Leo’s arm like “I had to stop this idiot from coming after me.” + instructions for fixing the arm and assurance that he’s fine just asleep?
Hi! Most of the team/resistance were on evac duty on the other side of the city, but Mikey was in the background during that scene causing chaos, so I imagine either Donnie would've sent a delayed message to him, or Mikey caught on himself (albeit too late to help/save Dee). Getting Leon out of there was probably another reason why Mikey couldn't go after Donnie :(

NO NO THIS IS GOOD 100/10

Revolutionary Neuromorphic Visual Sensor Accurately Detects and Predicts Moving Objects with Hidden Information
A team of researchers at Aalto University has developed a new bio-inspired sensor that can detect moving objects in a single video frame and predict their path. This smart sensor is based on neuromorphic vision technology that integrates sensing, memory, and processing in a single device. It can be used in various fields, including automatic inspection, industrial process control, robotic…

wait, last year i made a post about enoch and the robot-detector in loki (2021), assuming it would detect enoch. now that i'm finally watching s6, i know now that enoch isn't sensed by most synth detectors, so he maybe wouldn't be killed immediately by the tva

What is a Fire Detection Sensor and How Does it Work? Fire Detector
An essential part of any fire safety system is a fire detection sensor, which is meant to identify the presence of smoke or flames and sound an alert in a timely manner. These sensors function by keeping an eye out for any indications of a fire, such as abrupt temperature changes or the presence of smoke particles. The alarm system, fire detector, receives a signal from the sensor when it notices certain indicators, which causes it to sound a warning and start emergency procedures. This early detection capacity allows for quick evacuation and firefighting responses in emergency situations, hence minimizing damage and saving lives.
