#mythical arc

[pokemonpowergirl]

I will never forget when Ash's Alola League victory blew up the internet.

...and I am glad that Sept. 15 will forever be known as World Ash Ketchum Day.

[blocksruinedme]

Maybe I've missed it but.

Yes obviously it's the wither rose trio destroying Jimmy.

But why haven't I seen anyone talking about the fact that SAUSAGE REMEMBERS.

AND HE'S DOING IT AGAIN.

Remember how it ended with fWhip and Jimmy destroying everything?

And just. Everything. Sausage remembers it all and he's down to clown again.

FUCK!!!!

i found my sketchbook guys. returning to my roots

[howlingday]

I just thought of a great idea for a post!

I hope that you know who Rhett and Link are, because besides their show Good Mythical Morning, they used to make various skits.

One of their old series of videos was a series called “Famous Last Words”, and I thought why not have the quotes said by various RWBY characters.

Examples;

Ruby(standing on top of a building): Of course I can fly! I’m wearing a cape.

——

Jaune(holding a comically large spider): If I don’t get bitten by a spider, how will I ever get superpowers?

——

Qrow(holding a plastic knife surrounded by Grimm): Bring it on Grimm!

——

Taiyang(holding a plastics knife surrounded by Ninjas): Bring it on Ninjas!

——

Sun+Neptune(holding plastic sporks surrounded by Ninja Grimm): BRING IT ON NINJA GRIMM!!!

Thoughts?

So, I looked into Good Mythical Morning, and to be honest, it gives me some real "10 Minute Power Hour" vibes. Pretty good.

---------------------------------------------------

Sun: When I was down in Menagerie, I had a key-lime pie on a stick, covered in chocolate.

Neptune: ???

Sun: I also saw a lot of grandma boobs, too.

Neptune: (Holds up hand, High fives Sun)

Sun: Thank you. But yeah, it was weird, because I guess this is an annual thing where every old person walks around naked?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Weiss: You know, there's nothing worse than the feeling on the day after your birthday. Because not only did I not redeem my birthday voucher for a discount coffee at Schnee-Bolts, but also my Nana forgot to message me.

Ruby: Ooh. Did that happen? I mean, she's getting up there, so...

Weiss: She is, which is why I don't question it.

Ruby: But it hurt you. I can see it.

Weiss: ...Yes, but I don't let Nana Schnee know it. It's okay, Nana. Today is my birthday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saphron: When we were younger, back when we were visiting the beach for the summer, I just got license and was learning to drive. We, uh, we picked up some ladies.

Jaune: We had eleven ladies in the back of the truck~.

Saphron: But then there was this gap, um...

Jaune: In her tooth.

Saphron : Ye- NO. No, no, it wasn't that. There was a gap in the road, and me, being the dumb teen that I was, just hauled ass through it, and there was a cop there.

Jaune: And he was in a golf-cart.

Saphron: Yeah, yeah. But, uh, then the ladies jumped out once they found out they weren't in trouble.

Jaune: We never saw those ladies again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yang: (Dressed as a ghost, Wear a mustache) You ready to go?

Blake: (Dressed as Pumpkin Pete) Yes.

Yang: Well, hop on, bunny! I'm taking you on a mustache ride STRAIGHT TO HELL!

Blake: ...That honestly scared me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Velvet: (Holding cheesy jalapeño popper) These are kinda warty. (Bites into it) But not like genital warts.

Cardin: ...Just so you all know, I'm done.

Velvet: I was don with periods! So I moved on to genital warts, which have nothing in common. ...Y'know, except for being related to the genitals. ...Which are all beautiful.

Cardin: ...No one's got a problem with them! Least of all, me!

Special Call?

Ruby looked nervously around RNGR’s current camp site, her silver eyes bouncing back and forth faster than a tennis ball on court. Jaune had been gone for longer than an hour and needless to say that any time Jaune was out of her sight she tended to fret hard over him. He had... well, Ruby wouldn’t say that Jaune had fully gotten over his funk, but he had certainly made progress since the beginning of their year long trek. He wasn’t training himself into the ground any more and he had lightened up considerably on himself, though he still had a tendency of sulking and being hard on himself. Still progress was progress, and Ruby was beyond ecstatic to see her cru- best friend and fellow leader not being as hard on himself as he used too, she even saw him smile more!(which no, she did NOT blush like a school girl when he did Nora, STOP BRINGING THAT UP)

    Still, Ruby could not help but fret and worry over him and he still had a bad habit of wandering off by himself. Dread filled her for a moment, but she relaxed upon seeing Ren and Nora step out of the tree line with tinder and fresh water in their flasks. Before either of them knew it, Ruby was standing before them after a quick petal burst causing Nora to cry out in shock while Ren, having long since used to Ruby suddenly appearing before him, kept his cool as he smiled in greeting.

Ren: “How can we help you Ru-”

    Ren hadn’t even finished his question, before Ruby all but blurted out:

Ruby: “Have you guys seen Jaune recently?!”

    Nora, who had managed to calm herself down from her sudden scare, put her hand on her chin as she considered Ruby’s question.

Nora: “Mmmmmmh, Nope! Can’t say that we’ve seen fearless leader recently Ruby.”

Ren: “Last I recall, he mentioned something about hunting down some food for us before we went about gathering for our camp tonight.”

Ruby: “What! That was more than an hour ago!”

    At hearing the news, Ruby bit her lower lip in frustration as she pondered over what was taking Jaune so long. He said he’d be back in and hour, but what if he was in trouble? What if he had relapsed and was secretly training himself to death again? What if Grimm had ambushed him and he was fighting for his life and oh gods he needed their help-

    Ruby felt a sense of calm wash over her, before noting that Ren had put a calming hand on her shoulder and was surrounded by a shroud of light green.

Ren: “Sorry Ruby, but you looked like you were overthinking the situation and coming to a worst case scenario. I’m sure that Jaune is fine.”

    ...Right. Ren was right, Ruby was just overthinking this. She felt a little better after being reassured by Ren, but she still felt a little concerned over his whereabouts. Noting her expression, Nora piped up with a bright smile on her face.

Nora: “Well, if you’re still worried over him, why don’t you use your “Special Call” Ruby? That will bring him back home instantly!”

    Nora’s suggestion got two differing reactions: one was of blank bemusement from Ren, while the other was of shocked horror from a now furiously blushing Ruby.

Ren: “...What’s this about a “Special Call?”

Ruby: “N-Nothing Ren! Don’t listen to Nora, she’s just-”

    Ruby tried stuttering out an interjection, only to be soundly ignored as Nora started answering Ren’s question.

Nora: “Well recently Ruby found out that she’s able to call Jaune back to us, not matter how far away he is! It’s actually really useful!”

    Ren quirked a brow, a doubtful expression on his face at Nora’s explanation.

Ren: “Really? From anywhere at anytime?”

Ruby: “Listen Ren, there’s n-not actually a c-call of any kind so can we-”

    Ruby, who was now redder than her cloak, tried interjecting once again only to be ignored yet again as Nora kept talking.

Nora: “Anywhere, Anytime, Any day! It’s honestly pretty dang useful if I do say so myself, would have been great to have known about a while ago, but eh what can you do?”

Ren: “Mmmmh, that does sound like it would have been useful earlier in our adventure when Jaune was at his worst. So, how does this “Special Call” work exactly?”

Nora: “Why, it’s really simply Renny! All Ruby does is-”

    Ruby, who may as well have been sunburnt from how red she was blushing, all but shouted as she managed to finally interupt Nora.

Ruby: “Nora, I told you that the call isn’t actually a thing!”

Nora: “What?! Ruby, it’s totally a thing! I watched it with my own eyes! All you have to do is-”

Ruby: “I’m telling you Nora, it’s not a thing and I’d like you to stop talking right now please!”

Nora: “But Ruby, all you have to do is-”

Ruby: “Nora I’m begging you to please drop this and never bring it up again!”

    A curious Ren found himself looking back and forth as an increasingly flustered Ruby kept cutting off Nora as she tried to finish her explanation. 

Ren: “...I’m at a bit of a loss right now. Is there actually a “Special Call” or is Nora just trying to play a joke at our expense right now?”

Nora: “I’m being serious Renny! I’ve bore witness to the “Special Call,” and all it is is when Ruby-”

Ruby: “FOR THE LAST TIME NORA, THERE IS NO SPECIAL CALL AND THAT SLAPPING MY THIGHS TWICE DOESN’T MAGICALLY SUMMON JAUNE BACK TO US!”

    Ruby all but exploded at Nora, before slapping her thighs twice in demonstration to show that there was no “Special Call.” It was unfortunate for Ruby that she would swiftly be proven wrong as not even five minutes later Jaune came walking out of the tree lines with the body of a Buck strewn across his shoulder, two rabbits in his left hand, and a very confused expression on his face.

Jaune: “...Did someone call for me? Sorry I was taking so long, I was trying to see if I could bag another animal when I suddenly felt the need to come back to camp. Is everything alright?”

    No, everything was in fact not alright as Ruby stood mortified at having been proven wrong in front of Ren and Nora. There was no way that Jaune could have just materialized here at this very moment, right?

Nora: “There you are fearless leader! We started getting worried about you!”

Ren: “Where were you at if you don’t mind us asking?”

Jaune: “Uh... I was about, maybe three or four miles west from our camp? I didn’t worry you guys did I?”

    ...Ruby wanted nothing more than to sink into the ground and become one with the Forrest at this moment, because she was fairly certain that she was never going to live this down. 

Nora: “See Renny? Anytime, Any Day, Anywhere, the “Special Call” is sure to bring Jaune-Jaune back guaranteed!”

    Nora’s commentary only added salt to the wound, and it was made worse when Ren covered his mouth as he tried to respectfully hide his smile from Ruby.

Ren: “It’s... certainly effective. While I hope that we won’t have to use it often, It’s nice to to know about in case of an emergency.”

Jaune: “...I’m really lost right now, what’s all this about a “Special Call?”

    Ruby buried her face into her hands, muttering profusely to herself.

Ruby: “...Why did I have to go and open my big mouth?”

This is a re-written story from a post I made roughly two years ago. A re-post, but one of my favorite stories that I wrote. I’ve got another re-written repost in the works, so stay tuned for that. But I do hope that you guys have enjoyed my first ACTUAL shitpost of 2023 and as always, expect more to come. You’re all great and I thank you for taking the time for reading my silly stories. You’re all golden.

WHO do we all think the standalone episode this season is gonna be about. my bets (hopes) are on david or jo

[realmyths]

@musesreunite continued from here "But, I don't want you to get hurt." Rawya stared at the Doctor with a sad glance. She didn't realize it, but tears were filling her eyes. "If they know you're a Time Lord like me, they'll come after you. If anything happens to you, I'll never forgive myself. I already lost my mother. I can't lose you too."

The Doctor looks at Rawya with a concerned expression. She wants to comfort the younger Time Lady. Of course, she can't guarantee any outcome. But she does want to stop Rawya's tears. "Ya won't lose me. I'm good at surviving, me. Always have been." She puts her hands on Rawya's face, doing her best to wipe the tears away as she stares into the younger woman's eyes. "I don't want to see you get hurt either. Okay?"

She caresses Rawya's cheeks with her hands, hoping to provide some comfort. "I'll be right back, I will. And then we'll go somewhere nice. How about that?"

one thing about kylo is that he'll argue and throw hands. you're a jedi? he's criticising the code. sith? he's criticising the code. lovecraftian space horror? lightsaber is ignited. truly, a menace to the cosmos.

So, I have a question. I am planning a new series with following a certain mythology. I know a lot of readers drag sjm through the mud about stealing names from mythologies (including myself), like the names of gods/goddess & places, and not coming up with none on her own.

How should I combat that?

Is it a tad bit better to come up with all new names and places but keep the mythology lore?

I am trying to avoid being like sjm. (Also, I am asking a bunch of other tumblrs this question so you might see it around).

Hi anon!

So for me personally I don't really care about her "ripping off" mythology, nor do I think that's really a thing? Storytelling is as old as humanity itself; some myths are going to be retold over and over. That being said I have seen some people getting upset about this because they're from a certain background/culture and they feel Sarah is misusing their holidays/mythical creatures and whatnot. For example a few months back I saw a post by a pagan who was offended by how Sarah portrayed Calanmai because that's a legitimate holiday she celebrates irl and she felt Sarah warping a real holiday she celebrates was offensive. So there *are* legitimate criticisms made in good faith by some people. I just am not one of those people who particularly focuses on that type of thing.

But I do take issue with Sarah stealing exact quotes and original characters/creations from other modern writers and passing them off as her own, though. So I would simply suggest you avoid stealing exact lines from other movies/books. That's all I really have to offer, I'm afraid.

[pokeworldrevisited]

might as well talk about Pokemon Horizons a little, since I am excited to see a new story take place.

Apparently it's gonna start in Kanto? Kinda wish it didn't but at the same time, seeing as this'll be like Journeys (aka, focusing on every region instead of just one) I don't think that where Liko and Roy's story starts matters too much. Though I do hope that Paldea gets more attention than Galar did.

My current concern is the fact that the anime seems to be focusing more on Liko rather than Roy. Like, three animated trailers and outside of the poster shot he only appears in the latest one for like... three seconds. Plus we got a Synopsis for episode 1 and it's about Liko. Hell, when you think about it, even we focus more on Liko rather than Roy.

Based off the recent Horizons trailer, we know for absolute certain that Liko's pendant is a sort of specialised Tera Crystal. As we see a Terastalised shiny Rayquaza. I'm still curious to see what kind of story this legendary will have, especially seeing how many times it shows up in the advertisements. It's clear this specific legendary will play some kind of role.

Another thing about Liko's Pendant, is that Amethio's line of 'It seems that pendant hides a secret, and that secret is linked to you' along with him later saying 'I can't afford to lose you here' makes it seem like only Liko can use the pendant's power for one reason or another. And that'll make her a target for the new villain team.

Also about Amethio, I love his voice??? It's so soft???

We also learn about Liko's dream, to learn about the things she doesn't understand. Which could mean multiple things but it does explain why she ends up with Friede and his crew, since their goal is to uncover the mysteries of the world.

There's also a line in the trailer, which seeing how much it focuses on Liko, and that it's in first person, it's something for her? That being the 'the story of discovering myself' which I'm kinda curious to see how that goes.

All in all, it feels like Horizons will be more story driven than previous series. Like it's not just the anime adaptation of the games but it's own thing entirely. It is a shame, seeing as it means multiple Paldea characters will be shafted, but it would also be interesting to see a story that doesn't have to rely on the games' lore. (along with not being an anime meant to build up Ash's finale like Journeys).

It could be really interesting, as long as it's done right.

they're giving poppy that nate tedlasso greyhairification arc and she looks so fucking SEXY
