The Marshall Field and Company Building is known for its two exterior clocks, which weigh about 7.5 short tons (6.7 long tons) each, on its northwest and southwest corners along State Street at both Randolph and Washington Streets. The southwest clock at the original Washington Street intersection, known as “The Great Clock”, was installed on November 26, 1897.

Some more similarities that inspired skylanders or viceversa. 1) the new game of #sonicdreamteam that has static characters and a horned sheep character just like #skylanderstrapteam3ds ;

2)an idea that came randomly, what if Skylanders made #toweroftimeadventurepack as reference for #ratchetandclankacrackintime since i feel #skylandersvibes in that franchise ;

3)when I saw some #roadrovers clips I thought the way Colleen & Blitz talk can fit even with Flynn & Cali.

4)have you noticed how every multiverse collapsing lore is similar with purple portal cracks, I relate those with skylanders superchargers?

Ratchet and Kim Possible Chronicles: Another Sitch in Time-Part 36

Much time later, the clock was being fixed up by Ratchet and the Zoni that he had collected. Kim sat down on a bench, drinking an unusual liquid of sorts as Sigmund stood near her. Sigmund: “There you go, Miss Possible. This Quantum Removal Serum should purge your body of all of those temporal aftereffects” Kim: “Thanks, Sigmund. I can already feel my head clearing up. This should put a stop to all of those headache attacks.” Sigmund: “I’m certain your friend will also feel better once he starts taking this serum.” Kim: “So am I, I just hope that he is able to hold it down.” Sigmund: “So do I, I just can’t believe that you and your friend have traveled through time before.” Kim: “Me neither. The whole thing was really strange and with how messed up it was, no wonder why I couldn’t remember it. I’m just glad that things are back to the way they’re supposed to be. I hope I never have to experience anything like that ever again.” Ratchet: “Well, now that we’ve taken care of everything, there’s only 1 more thing left to fix.”

He reinserted the plug that was removed by Lawrence earlier, restoring the holographic image of Orvus. Computer voice: “Time keeper restored.” Ratchet: “I’ll leave you 2 alone. Let’s go, Kimberly.”

He walked out; Kim got up and went towards him. They held each other’s hands as they walked out. They stopped as Ratchet looked back towards Clank. Ratchet: “Take care of yourself, pal.”

He then proceeded back towards the ship with Kim. Rufus, standing on Kim’s shoulder, looked back towards Clank and waved goodbye. Clank went on to continue playing Orvus’ recording but then stopped it shortly afterwards. Clank: “I can not stay. I am sorry, but discovering my family has made me realize that I can not leave Ratchet, not until he finds his own. I hope you understand.” Sigmund: “You’re leaving?”

Sigmund went on to check on himself. Sigmund: “Energy output normal, harmonic stabilizers stable. Why aren’t I freaking out?”

Clank retrieved the ChronoScepter and walked up to Sigmund with it. Clank: “Perhaps you are ready to be promoted.”

He handed the scepter over to Sigmund. Sigmund: “Senior Caretaker?”

He accepted the scepter with much zeal. Sigmund: “Whoopee! Thank you, sir.” Clank: “Take care, Sigmund.”

Clank ran off after Ratchet and Kim. Sigmund continued the recording. From it, Orvus revealed that he is happy with Clank making his own decisions regardless of whether or not he were to accept his position as the new caretaker in Orvus’ steed. Ratchet was just about ready to take off; he was sulking over the thought of leaving Clank behind. Kim placed her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her as she smiled at him to reassure him. He smiled at her, but only a little. Rufus was seen on Kim’s shoulder, looking at Ratchet as well. Clank ran back towards the ship and jumped in just as it was about to close. He sat down right next to Kim. She and Ratchet took notice of Clank immediately; they were overjoyed that he decided to stay with them. Rufus was especially jubilant to see him. And with that, they took off and left the clock.

I think it was about a month into dating my betrothed that I first turned to them and said, “You smell hungry, want to get some lunch?”

“I what? I smell hungry?”

“Yeah, like, the empty smell. Aren’t you hungry?”

They were, but it was hard for them to accept smelling a state of being. After a few weeks of me pointing it out right before they realized it themself though they asked, “What does hunger smell like?”

“Bad.”

“That’s not helpful.”

“It’s like… an emptiness that goes past the mouth? Bad breath is more upfront but hunger is like you’re smelling stomach acid, it’s all the way from an empty belly.”

They started smelling my mouth in exaggerated silly fashion but eventually they did start to recognize it.

They’re now very smug when they get to use the skill back at me and inform me that I’m hungry.

“poncho: jedi master edition” is such a good and necessary cal kestis form, seeing him attempt to teach a gaggle of padawans is simply the best thing i could imagine. i hope they also roast him sometimes in true middle schooler fashion <3

ok so i drew this AGES ago (way before the other post) and I think this counts as an excuse to post it! they probably do accidentally roast him a little but one of the ways they forget compassion in lieu of middle schooler "dont care about adults" is:

You're still standing off to the side. Somehow, center stage has shifted from under your feet without you realizing, and you're standing in the wings, performing to no one.

Ratchet and Kim Possible Chronicles: Another Sitch in Time-Part 35

He went on to give chase. As he did, Azimuth made every attempt he could to stop him. They also conversed with each other along the way. Azimuth: “I’m sorry, Ratchet! I’ve come too far to fail now!" Ratchet: “General! What are you doing?” Azimuth: “Correcting a mistake! The Lombaxes are coming home, with or without your help!”

He bombed rails and ramps, making every stride to derail Ratchet’s advances but the young Lombax was always quick on his feet. It would have taken a lot more than just a few bombs to stop him. Ratchet: “General! You have to stop this! You can’t change the past!” Azimuth: “Can’t? Ha! Never could let go of consequence, can you?” Ratchet: “General, please!” Azimuth: “I can’t let you get in the way!” Clank: “Ratchet, we can not let him touch that lever.”

Ratchet chased after Azimuth all the way into the chamber.

At that time, Kim regained consciousness. She sat up as she held her head, cringing. She then looked up and noticed Azimuth entering the chamber. An extremely tense look appeared on her face. Kim: “Azimuth…!”

As Azimuth entered the chamber, he made his way towards the lever, Sigmund attempted to stop him. He put up a good fight but was knocked out of the way. Azimuth then went back for the lever and pulled it all the way to the left. Computer voice: “Time shift initiated.”

Ratchet arrived within the chamber but it was already too late. The lever was encased in its shell and descended. Azimuth stood before him, still greatly furious. From there, they fought each other.

It was arguably the most difficult fight that Ratchet has ever had to undertake as it was very disheartening for him. Azimuth shouted at him, angered by his supposed change of heart and not agreeing to help him change the past. He was saying all sorts of horrible things to Ratchet. His words were perhaps more devastating to the young Lombax than his attacks. As they fought, the entire place was falling into disarray from their fight; that as well as the incredibly unstable practicality of the chamber’s main controls. Everything around them was being affected and gradually, the visual affects began to suffice.

A little afterwards, they stopped for a bit to catch their breaths. Ratchet: “General, please, you have to stop this! You don’t know what you’re doing!” Azimuth: “Too late, Ratchet! I’ve made up my mind! This needs to be done and if you’re not with me, then I must end you.”

He was about to strike again, but then Kim arrived and slammed him down, she was indeed furious. Ratchet was elated to see her again. Ratchet: “Kim!”

She looked at Ratchet and smiled. Just then, Azimuth knocked her back. She fell to the ground. Ratchet: “No!” Azimuth: “I never liked you, girl! Ever since we started this, you have been nothing but a hindrance and an annoyance! You’ve held us back far too many times!” Ratchet: “Don’t say that about her! None of that is true! She’s always been helpful! She’s been more than capable of aiding us, always has! She’s the most amazing girl I have ever known! She’s strong, she can handle any impossible situation! She’s very brave and wonderful and I…I…” Azimuth: “Don't…say it!”

He hesitated for a bit. Ratchet: “I love her…” Azimuth: “I TOLD YOU NOT TO SAY IT!” Ratchet: “No! I do! I…”

He then looked towards Kim; she looked back towards him as well. They both had the same sad look in their eyes. Ratchet: “Kimberly…”

There was a slight change in her face, she was indeed emotional as well. Kim: “I love you, too, Ratchet.”

Soon enough, he ran towards her. As he approached her, they grabbed on to each other and they kissed. It was truly a wonderful moment. Clank and Rufus smiled as they observed this, but Azimuth was deeply enraged. As they pulled back, they looked into each other’s eyes. Kim: “Took you long enough.” Ratchet: “Same to you.”

Azimuth’s rage intensified. He was pushed beyond his breaking point. Azimuth: “Disgusting!!! You are a disgrace to our kind for becoming infatuated with that…that human! It is apparent that you are beyond saving if things continue this way! Once I change the past, I’ll make certain that you and that girl never meet!” Kim: “I won’t let that happen, Azimuth!” Ratchet: “Me neither.”

And so the battle continued on, this time, Kim was helping with the fight. She fought really hard against Azimuth, striking harder blows than Ratchet. She seemed to have a personal vendetta against him. Given that he had belittled her time and again, it really was no surprise. The battle continued on, as it did, the condition of the place grew worse but they did not stop. Throughout the fight, Azimuth has shown to be a very strong and capable fighter as he had many years of experience under his belt, but he was able to endure for so long against the combined efforts and strengths of Kim and Ratchet.

They were eventually able to subdue him. The lever ascended, Kim and Ratchet ran towards it and attempted to pull it back up. But it broke off and there was no way to stop the time shift. Kim: “Uh, that’s not good…”

The machine continued to malfunction as a beam of energy shot out from the lever directly above it. The condition of the place continued to worsen. Azimuth: “What’s going on!? Why isn’t it working!?" Ratchet: “It’s what we’ve been trying to tell you, Azimuth! The clock is NOT a time machine! It was not made to alter time, only keep it!”

Azimuth was devastated. Azimuth: “No…you mean…there really isn’t a way to fix the past? Or bring back your parents?” Kim: “No! There isn’t! And now look what you’ve done! You’ve been consumed by your obsession with fixing your mistake and bringing back the Lombaxes so much that you’ve tossed aside reason and logic! You’ve been blind to what you have become! You’ve disregarded all those around you and the consequences to your impulsive actions. You attempted to make another mistake for the same reason that you made the last one: because you thought that it was the right thing to do! You haven’t changed at all!” Azimuth: “You’re right…about everything…about me…I was blind…I failed to see everything in front of me for what it really is…including you, young lady. But not anymore.”

He made his way towards the master control. Ratchet: “Alister! What are you doing?” Azimuth: “Something that needs to be done!”

He got up to the control switch, he then took one more look towards Kim as she stood near Ratchet. Azimuth: “Kimberly Possible! Take good care of Ratchet! Always look after him!”

Kim glanced back towards him with a sad look in her eyes. Kim: “You know I will.”

He smiled at her and then shoved his Omniwrench into the lever slot, he pushed on to it. Ratchet: “Alister! NO!”

Before Ratchet could do anything, Kim grabbed on to him and held him close. Kim: “Ratchet! There’s nothing you can do.”

Azimuth continued to push on his Omniwrench. Azimuth: “You were right all along, Kaden. The boy needed to make his own choices, outside the influence of our people. That girl has made him the happiest he’s ever been. I know you would have been proud of him, as am I.”

Azimuth managed to switch off the machine. From there, a massive surge of energy flowed intensely from the switch as Ratchet, Kim and Clank leapt away from it.

All was calm, the pandemonium subsided. Kim and Ratchet held on to each other as they lied on the floor. They looked up and were both shocked by what they saw. Azimuth was lying on the floor near the master switch, lifeless. Kim: “Oh, no…”

They walked up to him. Kim: “Azimuth…”

Clank went to check on him. He shook his head, saddened. Ratchet looked over towards Azimuth’s pocket watch near his body and picked it up. He looked into it and saw the picture of his father and Azimuth. Clank: “He did a brave thing. You should be proud of him.”

They stood by for a bit. Ratchet sulked. Clank: “I will…give you both some space…”

Clank walked off. Kim: “Yeah, perhaps I should also…”

She was about to walk away, but then, He very quickly grabbed on to her wrist. Ratchet: “K-Kimberly, wait!”

She looked back toward him as he looked at her. Ratchet: “Stay with me…please…”

She continued looking towards him, she bent down and they both embraced.
