The way it healed me in a way I didn’t even know I needed healing to know that Heimdall has a son and Thor adopted a daughter... like this movie really said Heimdall and Loki live on in the love they left behind and I am sobbing
This is brought up all the time but it never fails to amuse me.
The Great Jeff Tracy (if we're taking his b'day as the late noughties) would have been a Gen Z kid. He'd have been on TikTok. He'd have been around in the heyday of all these influencers. He'd be fifteen years young currently.
Not in person, no. But Naranja-Uva has info about them in books and all that.
Pokemon Crossbreeds: Lightning Strike
(Name inspired by @freerangeranger )
Lightning Strike is the name for members of the Luxray line with an Absol father. The line gets its name from the Lightning Strikes that appear when they are near. This crossbreed isn't rare, but it isn't common either, since Luxray lives in savanhas while Absol live in the mountains, but sometimes, Luxray will travel to the mountains if food is scarce.
Shinx
Lightning Strike Shinx gain claws, lighter fur, white fluff, long hair fluff, sharper tails, and a singular pointed ear. All members of the line gain red pupils, and many myths say that they can see danger as well, though that hasn't been confirmed. But they are able to sense disasters to a minor extent, most commonly, thunger storms. Research shows that they'll often leave areas before disasters.
Luxio
When they evolve, the horn on their ear becomes bigger, and they can sense larger disasters. Luxio will leave their mother Luxray about after evolving, and this crossbreed will often move closer to mountains with it's siblings.
Luxray
Lightning Strike Luxray are praised for their mystery and grace. They gain longer fur that's more built for storing heat on the cold mountains. Like Absol, they prefer to be alone, but they'll sometimes meet up with other Lightning Strike Luxray or other Luxray crossbreeds that would live on the mountains. They can still sense dangerous lightning storms, and their warnings should be taken just as seriously as Absol's.
@whataboutfractions paying for my groceries next week with this commission :} Always a pleasure to draw thunder bomber ESPECIALLY when its about his narrative role and chock full of symbolism
eyestrain and implied blood variant under the cut
^i threw this self indulgent chaos in for free btw. I had lots of fun
the fact that jeremy is aware that jean is attracted to him is so crazy to me cuz it means the actual obstacles preventing them from getting together are jean's trauma and the power imbalance between him and jeremy😭
What's your overall opinion on Thunder? (If you finished reading it) Despite a having a few issues with it personally, (such as Frostpaw deciding to become a med cat again (GIRL WHAT) and the Smokey stuff), I honestly really enjoyed it! I loved reading from Sunbeam's and Frostpaw's perspective, and actually like what they did with the park cats! They are silly, even if a little boring! :)
I really, really hope they explore Curlfeather more in the future!
I'm currently on Chapter 12 and... honestly I'm mostly just bored.
One traveling book per arc is already waaaaay too much. I'm not enjoying Frostpaw and Nightheart's chemistry at all, and it's frustrating that Tree is now suddenly part of the plot because they just suddenly remembered that they have an entire role dedicated to stopping conflict. Seeing StarClan NOW is also a huge disappointment, because I'd been liking this arc so much exactly because it was more grounded.
I keep wanting to skip chapters to get back to Sunbeam. I KNOW that Nightheart is Not Orange and still feels the need to pitch a fit over his mom having "high expectations" that were never actually on-screen. Frostpaw herself would be fun if she wasn't constantly brawling with travel filler and Riverstar/StarClan being obtuse.
And, knowing none of this is actually building anywhere and that I'm in store for a frustrating end-of-book gathering that doesn't really tie into the actions of the main characters, it's hard to care at all. That's my REALLY big problem right now. None of this matters, because Berryheart's gambit is something she's deciding entirely off-screen, uninfluenced and unobserved by ANY of the POVs.
What exactly is the point of THREE POVs, one of them seeing mere glimpses of the plot, and two of them witnessing the same exact sidequest? While one of the sidequest POVs doesn't actually DO anything because it's not even his sidequest?
Basically; sorry man I'm not having a good time here.
