I like that for all that Jonathan is the comic relief of the story, Rick still picks him over the other Americans (who have, up til that point, been shown as reasonably competent and definitely less ridiculous)

I like to think it has something to do with recognizing a sort of kindred spirit in someone who served in WWI like him vs guys who seem to have more experience with easy grave robbing than actual combat situations

What was the reason for Ardeth being so fine. How am I supposed to focus on anything else in this movie

Day 20: Sam Pickles' role in the movie

I wantto talk about him. This guy, who we know so far is a not so great investigator as he likes to think, is another enigma in the movie.

Really doubt that he and Ramirez won't know about the mummies' existence by the end of the movie.

We know from the screenshot that Ramirez will let them go, knowing at the end that all was a misunderstanding and Tad is not a criminal.

But what about Pickles?

Even at the end of the movie, I doubt that the american officer will be able to let them go that easy. I don't know how will be possible for the movie to deal with his beliefs about Tad and the mummies being a danger unless that the writing will fall flat at that point.

Maybe Ramirez will have to deal with Pickles one last time before quitting the case, whenever he likes it or not.

If the franchise is meant to continue and possibly have a series in sight if everything goes smoothly, then that would require an antagonist.

And what better antagonist that the officer who lost the case because his partner decide to let the culprits go? After all Tad somehow destroyed the Chicago museum and Mummy vandalized the Mona Lisa.

And that's another point. How is he going to interact with Mummy? What will be his opinion of him? Ramirez seems to be more conscious of the two, so she probably won't mind him wandering around as long as he doesn't cause problems. Pickles on the other hand... if Mummy stays with Tad in the human world, he will be staying in USA, his country. So he would excuse himself as someone trying to protect his country for possible undead menaces.

It would make sense for him to be an antagonist in a future Tad or Mummy proyect given things aren't all peace and sunshine with him at the end. Which could develop in him sometimes being allies with the group for a greater good.

One more little thing which is a funny (?) coincidence. Incas had a long rivalty with Conquistadors and sometimes they became allies for specific reasons like short treaties or some wars. Spanish Conquistadors used to ride horses.

And what form does Pickles' pen has?

Exactly.

whenever i reread the kane chronicles, i imagine i'm reading the books out loud to my 7-8 year old self (bc that's when my egyptology obsession was at its peak). that's how much this series means to me

[senditcolton]

What about something with Casey C from the islanders whose name I can’t spell

Zeeker!! absolutely!! (and don't worry, i have to really concentrate in order to spell his last name correctly). this headcanon is based on an idea that i thought about turning into a fic but it now might just stay like this: a headcanon. [mention of children in this one]

to me, Casey just screams romantic. like full-blown romantic.

and one of my favorite tropes in fics/media are couples that remain madly in love with each other, even after years of marriage and maybe kids and all of that.

so that's where this headcanon is going to go.

you and Casey have been married for years. you already have a kid, maybe more than one, what have you. and without your knowledge, Casey has planned this romantic evening for the two of you.

he's made reservations at a fancy restaurant downtown, has already taken care of the kids and sent them off to their grandparents/babysitters, even bought you a new dress and jewelry which is laid out on the bed. and now he's just waiting for you to come home.

on the other hand, you have had a long day. and you want nothing more than to change into your pajamas and curl up with Casey under the covers. maybe bring the kids into your king-sized bed and have you all fall asleep watching some Disney movie.

but when you walk in, you see Casey there with flowers, dressed in some nice clothes, you know your plans have been derailed by your amazing husband.

that doesn't mean you go without a little bit of a fight. it takes some gentle prodding and a few promises before you wander up the stairs to get ready.

and when you walk down the stairs in your new dress, he's speechless. and he wants you. like... wants you.

and he makes that clear; the way he kisses you, the way he looks at you, the way he touches you. he tries to convince you to let him bring you back upstairs and spend the evening doing something else.

but since he didn't let you off that easily when you mentioned staying home (albeit in a slightly different capacity) you weren't about to let him get what he wants.

you tease him, throw his words about the reservations that he worked so hard to get, the bottle of wine waiting for the two of you, how badly he wanted to go out tonight.

maybe the two of you leave to go to the restaurant. maybe you don't. either way, this night ends with the two of you intertwined underneath the bedsheets.

and leaves you with the knowledge that you and Casey are still madly in love with each other. even after all these years.

just learned that if the universal monsters cinematic universe hadnt flopped then we could be living in a world where the invisible man remake was a gritty mcu knockoff movie starring j*hnny d*pp... maybe we arent in the worst timeline after all

Almost solely consuming bad quality media with cringeworthy acting only, I love you Arachnid, I love you Sharknado, I love you Toxic Shark, I love you Sharkenstein, I love you Magalodon vs Giant Crocodile, I love you Dinosaur Hotel

I know we've all been talking about revisiting the Super Mario Brothers Supershow since the release of the movie, but as a Super Mario Brothers 3 cartoon enthusiast, I would like to give you all a compelling list of insane reasons you should go watch this on YouTube right this instant:

The opening theme kind of slaps.

A lot of people get turned into dogs for some reason???

George Bush (Sr) ends up kidnapped by the Koopas and sent to the bottom of the ocean? Which, honestly, may have been the best outcome for 90s American politics.

Peach is into surfing and has an implied fling with some California stereotype surfer dude on Hawaii. Get it, Peach.

You want de-aging tropes? Baby Mario and Luigi? Get 'em here.

Luigi is sent to seduce Wendy Koopa and succeeds. (This is Mario's plan, meaning Mario has utter faith in his brother's natural rizz). You have to watch this for Luigi's voice change, it's incredible.

Speaking of seduction, Luigi is mistaken for a 1,000 year-old mummy's husband. Mario is mistaken for...their son.

Yes, the brothers get into a BLOWOUT fight and it's amazing. Mario ends up brainwashed by Ludwig's mind-control device and the brothers have a very brief altercation.

I don't what the deal is with the Mario franchise and brainwashing/possession/mind control, but in a separate episode, Luigi and Bowser fight over a mind-controlling music box.

Peach is apparently a big Milli Vanili fan (you have to love the 90s) and rope Mario and Luigi into going to a concert in the Real World. Look at these two DORKS compared to Peach, who is effortlessly fashionable. (Granted, Toad gave them bad intel, but I don't think either brother has been "cool" in his entire life).

NERDS.

Mario ends up with a case of PTSD after almost drowning. I wish I was kidding, but this episode goes kind of hard if you think about it. (Not to mention the fish lady who is relentlessly pursuing him for marriage).

The Boys Do Venice.

Bowser takes a "Nice Guy Potion" in order to try to sabotage an election.

Three words: Zombie Trash Koopas

A family from Wichita end up in the the Darklands in their very typical station wagon. Hijinks ensue.

Some of the later episodes kind of turn into awkward Saturday afternoon specials with messages about gossip, racism, recycling, and worker's rights, which isn't exactly what one would expect from a Mario Brothers cartoon, but if you remember the 90s at all, this kind of tracks.

This being said, the episode where the Koopa kids go and try to take over the 7 continents relies on some unbelievably (awful) hilarious stereotypes (again, it was the 90s). But we do get to see Luigi on ice skates, which is a win.

Bowser kidnaps Luigi as bait. It works.

I'm just going to leave you all with this final screenshot.

The Mummy (1999), Van Helsing, Renfield, and The Shape of Water all succeeded at being worthy remakes/tributes to the Universal Horror franchise because they are all inherently camp

The Mummy (2017) failed that goal because it's too busy trying to be a Tom Cruise movie to be camp

A year passed after your talk with Ari, and things began to change. He’d no longer treat you horribly when you dropped your son off, and you had continued going to therapy, knowing you still had things to work through. Your boss understood when you met with her for coffee, telling you to take as much time as needed. You felt happier than you have felt in a long time. It still hurt knowing you and Ari weren’t together because to you, he was still your soulmate, the love of your life, but you had no idea where he stood anymore.

You looked around your house, a final goodbye as you needed to move on from here. It was so lonely and quiet. All of your things were being packed and moved to a moving truck. There wasn’t a point in keeping a house this size if it would just be you staying there at times. You stared, remembering all the good times you had when things were happier and simpler. Little feet pitter-pattered through the empty house, coming straight toward you. “Mumma!” You quickly kneel, catching your energetic son as he clings to you. 

“Hi, baby. Did you get everything?” Jason nods, and you press a soft kiss on his forehead. “Do you want to say bye, house?” He rests his head on your shoulder, turning to look at the house.

“Bye-bye, house!” He waves, and your heart feels warm as you carry him out of your old memories and toward the new. His little chubby fingers curl into the top of your pink sundress, looking at you with big eyes. “Get drink, mummy?” 

You nod, “Yeah, baby. We can get a drink.” You place him into his car seat before hopping into the driver’s side and driving to your favourite coffee shop. The memories that had been formed here were… Special. You park your car, get out and grab hold of your son again. You begin to walk into the place, the smell of coffee filling your senses, causing your eyes to close for a split second. You stand in line, holding your son’s hand as he babbles about some new thing happening at school, and you listen, smiling down at him occasionally because you don’t know where you’d be without him. 

“Mumma, mumma! Should see my drawing! Teacher hung it up! Is good!” He grins, his two front teeth missing from a few nights ago. The joy he felt when he realised the tooth fairy would be visiting was the best feeling to watch. He had placed his teeth under the pillow, and when morning came. His little squeals filled the room, and he ran out to show you the money. The only downside was that Ari wasn’t there to see it happen, to experience his son losing his teeth, or to see his excitement. You knew he would’ve enjoyed the precious moment as much as you did. Jason tugs on your hand, moving closer as the line moves. “Can I has the strawberry shake, pwease, mummy?” 

You nod, squeezing his hand. “Of course, you can, baby.” A chill ran through you, a sense of deja-vu flashing before you as you looked over to the table you had first seen Ari sitting at. A spark buzzed through the air when your eyes connected with the very same pretty blues you had grown to love. He had been watching you the moment you walked through the door, experiencing the same deja-vu when he had seen you in your pink sundress. You had become more beautiful than ever, a glow wrapping around you as you smiled at whatever your son was babbling on about.

Ari smiled softly, feeling his heart warm as you smiled back. He watched as you and Jason headed to the front, ordering what he presumed would be your favourite coffee and possibly a shake for Jason, as his son loved those. Especially the strawberry, and he had been going through a strawberry phase lately.

It was as if the universe was telling you something because as you and Jason had been waiting for your drinks, occasionally looking over at Ari, who never took his eyes off of you. You could feel like something familiar was going to happen, and when you grabbed your drinks, handing the strawberry shake to your son, and were about to take a sip of your coffee. A man bumped into you, causing your drink to splash out and stain your pink sundress. Everything began to move in slow motion, your son clutching your dress with the hand that wasn’t gripping his drink and Ari standing and moving toward you the same way he did many years ago. 

His hand landed gently on your hip, silently asking if you were okay before turning to the man, and the weird thing was, he had been the same man that had bumped into you when you and Ari first met, on the same day, in the same coffee shop, in the same dress. You watched with wide eyes, never moving your hand from your son as Ari ripped into the man, and when the man ran off, Ari took you and Jason to the same booth before going up and ordering you another drink. You watched him from your seat, your son oblivious, but your and Ari’s eyes connected as if you could feel the same strange feelings you had felt those years ago between you.

Ari returned with the drink and some napkins, helping you soak up the remaining coffee and asking if you were okay. Your eyes never once leave him, and Jason looks up, watching his parents stare at each other with a look he had only seen once before when the whole family was together.

You smile softly, putting your hand out. “I’m Y/n.”

And a grin appears on Ari’s face, following your action as his large hand fills yours. “A gorgeous name for a gorgeous woman. I’m Ari.” You swear everyone could feel the sparks flying between the two of you.

“I, Jason.” Your son’s tiny hand lands on yours and Ari’s, grinning. You and your ex's eyes move toward your son’s as you both break out into laughter. Your hands come down and tickle his chubby belly. “Mummy! Mummy! Stop! Tickles!” He giggles, trying to squirm away from you, and glares at his father, who decides to join in. “No! No! You suppose to help me, daddy!” 

The two of you stop, placing a soft kiss on top of your son’s head before your eyes connect again, and you smile.

Because maybe fate had planned this, perhaps this was where you were supposed to be.

Where it all began.
