TRACK OF THE MOON BEAST Reviews and free on Plex, Prime and YouTube

‘The rising moon creates a monster’ Track of the Moon Beast is a 1976 sci-fi horror film in which a meteor causes a student to transform into a reptilian creature. Directed by Richard Ashe from a screenplay by Bill Finger (co-creator of Batman in 1939) and Charles Sinclair (The Green Slime). The movie was filmed in 1972 but remained unreleased for four years until it was shown on TV. It is now in…

Montauk was the perfect escape. After her uncle died, Sally Jackson decided to pack up her small New York apartment and leave behind everything she ever knew. But, this getaway, might not be as perfect as she was planning. When monsters from around town start following her, Sally must find help from an unlikely ally, who just so happens to be a Greek god.

I know this is out of the blue but is there any hints or ideas we are allowed to hear of or look in on regarding Stagrove 👀👀 Perhaps updated outfits or some in-depth discussions of their relationships together as a cohesive group? You don't have to do this at all! I am just asking :) I love your work and I love hearing all your ideas and thoughts!!! Please take care of yourself.

normally i’d play coy and say ohhhh you’ll get it when you get it ofc 🤭 but ive been kinda mia from tumblr + stagrove so actually maybe its better to say whats going on 🥹

im working on refining their uniforms and actually having proper sprites for them done! evening out their personalities and straightening out their lore too 🤪 (ridge of willows + woodsmouth r now the two ‘homelands’ respective to stagrove but like… theyre literally 10 minutes away from each other. its just small town locales) (also by evening out their personalities, i just mean looking closer at them n maturing them a bit -> also figuring out what they stand 4 in the narrative and between each other.)

i might make a fresh render of their dorm logo too just to have on hand but that’ll come when it comes 💀

between the boys’ dynamics (esp for the episode) i think i wanted to weigh in more on the concept of how they all parallel against chase’s narrative and character?

ronaldo -> independence, standing alone but not apart. i think their bgs as students are rly similar? i like to think chase used to be in the same stagrove unit-type as him + they carry themselves with the same lone wolf demeanor. i think the primary difference tho is that ronaldo doubles down on where and who he is vs chase who leaves it out of people’s hands and lets himself be misunderstood.

flint -> the need to take action and change? something with ambition and duty to benefit the greater good. flint is one of his closest friends and i dont think hes ever judged chase for doing what he has, but i think it’s worth mentioning that flint does not follow chase. he works with chase. you’d think he enables chase, but the reality is that he’s one of the biggest restrictions on him because of how much he pushes back against chase.

berk -> the urge to protect and adapt, camaraderie and loyalty to preserve what is yours. berkeley is the enabler. not the most intentional, but the leniency is there anyway. i think berkeley is more open to this idea of change and adapting to it in the present, whereas chase prefers it in the future. berkeley lives in the moment and protects what he has, but i think chase lives in rhetoric. he protects what he will have, and what he had.

cordell -> the future… or a pseudo-reflection? tbh i just rly wanted to emphasize that cordell is The Next Generation of stagrove even if he doesn’t immediately suit the image. what if stagrove wasn’t founded on a basis of have-nots and callousness. what if you always had something worth protecting instead of looking off into the distant reckoning to evaluate whether or not this was enough. he’s the stagrove founded on love and intention and effort and- 🥹 he just, is everything that chase thought he was working towards.

hi, hello, you mentioned you have ocs and i would like to learn abt them if thats ok, could i get some fun facts abt them?

Y'know, I was planning to make a list of OCs anyway so this is a good excuse to do that

Gonna giving their names and fandoms with a couple of facts under cut (i feel like this might get long Very quick)

(Mid-edit Apple: minor Canto VI spoilers, nothing really story-related but I do use terms mentioned in 6.3 in passing; better safe than sorry tho)

Tamami Mochizuki (Persona Series)

As her last name implies, she's related to Nyx

She's my watsonian/in-universe explanation to where the rest of the arcana shadows are

Her persona variant is Akhlys; heavily based off Riordan's interpretation of her, meaning she can control poison

Her appearances changes a lot more than her brother's since the collective idea of suffering/misery changes over the ages while death stays stagnant (I've been considering making her look gyaru since that seems to be associated with japanese mean girl tropes)

Ena Kutsuki (Persona Series)

Initially, her name was Era, but I changed it somewhere down the line (did you know that the name 'Ena' has japanese origins too?)

Demigod of order; got a certain cup's magic handed to her after Striker's AI takeover attempt

Her bones are fucked up because of said magic (her spine can literally burst out of her back and turn into extra arms doc ock style)

She is being rizzed up by the goddess of misery and neither are aware they're in the slowburn plot and mutually believe they are friends (both of their friend groups can see how lovesick they are)

Cai An-Yue (ProjMoon; Lobcorp)

She's named after me! (My chinese name is Cai An Yu)

She has stolen her world's Library and made it her own

I'm considering classifying her as some flavor of Erlking because she's been fucking around the timelines and superimposing herself on various people and/or corpses

Transfem, any pronouns; ENA Dream BBQ is her voiceclaim (both voices)

Unit O-1 // Cordelle (Smash Bros/Kirby)

Their favorite attack is F-smash; their second favorite is Side-B (hammer flip)

They have a weird relationship with their creator (Octave), since they were initially made as a murder protocol and ended up accidentally developing a personality along the way; by the time the incident cleared out their creator went "wait, shit, I didn't expect that to happen I'm not ready to be a mom–"

They're on good terms for the situation they're in though

Their original name was Ocean before i changed it to Cordelle (Ocean started to sound less like a word the more i said it)

Whaleship Essex (Azur Lane)

Heavily inspired by Ishmael from Limbus Company

Very post-adventures 2!Shadow the Hedgehog coded

Feral; very prone to biting people regardless of whether they're friend or foe

(I'll be adding more on another post since someone else asked about her specifically and I'm still figuring out what to say about her)

Galatea "Gamma" Soliel (Miraculous/Genesis)

Ladybug holder; she's in a different timeline where the Miraculous have landed outside of Paris

All of her teammates are idiots and she only Vaguely tolerates the Black Cat because she Knows he's in a perpetual state of "Nagito Komaeda in his bad luck cycle"

Has shanked the Butterfly once; the Butterfly keeps trying to do homoerotic swordfights with her (they're similar in age)

May or may not be inspired by Mitsuru Kirijo from Persona 3, I can't tell you because if she was then it was likely subconscious

Here's my video for Walker's Season 3 finale. Enjoy guys.

[rpsocsandcanonohmy]

"One of these days I'm going to snap at your family. They keep telling me they 'understand' if I want to 'move on' given your prognosis and how long it's been..."

Beau sighed, sitting by his love. One day before their wedding, Cordell had gotten hurt. Badly hurt. Coma.

Three years later, Beau still visited every other day, and all day on Sundays. He'd been 24 hours away from promising to stay by the man's side forever. Why would he do otherwise now?

That fateful day 3 years ago had shaken the Walker family to its core. Cordell had been chasing a suspect and got in a bad car accident, earning him some serious brain damage and what could be a lifetime stay in the hospital.

His family tried to stay strong, visiting every day. The doctor's said there was hope, since he was able to breathe on his own and had responses to outside stimuli. But days turned into weeks, into months, and into years. They never stopped visiting or checking in, but they'd started to move on eventually. They had to. False hope never did anyone any good.

Cordell was still in there. They all knew it. They just didn't know if he did.

But he did. And it was no surprise he was more responsive (as limited as his responses were) when Beau was visiting

One Time Thing: Cordell Walker x Reader (NSFW)

Tagging: @kmc1989 @caffeinatedwoman

Walker makes love to you in front of the fire, his hands chasing all over your skin as the glow from the flames illuminates you, in the midst of all the shadows. You’re the first woman he’s been with since his wife died and even then it was never like this with her. She was always calm and steady, the soothing flow of water over a rocky stream bed. You, you’re raw, you’re passion, you’re heat. Everything that Walker should be avoiding but that’s the problem with him, he doesn’t run from danger, he rushes right into it.

His Mama tells him, it’s both a blessing and a curse.

His mouth covers yours, stifling your ecstasy as your thighs tighten around his hips, drawing him deeper. You’re close now and so is he, the pleasure sears through his synapses as he moves harder, faster, his cock raking over that filthy little spot deep inside you, the one that makes you call his name.

He chases your release, the hitched breathing, the throaty moans. He’s never heard God invoked so many times outside of a church, not until tonight with you. When you come you take him with you, the euphoria erupting though his veins like an IED, blasting through his senses like a wildfire as he spills himself inside you.

His forehead comes to rest upon yours, his lips brushing over the corner of your mouth as he murmurs.

“This is just a onetime thing right? I can’t make any promises, I can’t give you more than that.”

He means it, he’s struggling enough as it is. His job, his family, his life back here, he barely has his feet underneathe him. He doesn’t need an extra responsibility. He doesn’t need a girlfriend, someone else to fail or disappoint.

“Yea.” You mumble as your fingertips trail over the scars etched into his back and he sinks back into you. “Just one night.”

It doesn’t stop at just one night, in fact it doesn’t stop at all.

I looked at your links of commentary on 15.18 and memes mocking Cas, because memories have slid over time about reactions that night. What I'm wondering is if Jensen's last con reaction--saying the text was there, reactions there, no need to revisit what had gone on--was A SIDE STEP OR AN EVOLUTION. Because imo it felt very much related to what he's said from day one, only more delicately phrased on the friend zone part and more bluntly on No!NotAgain <starkytower/status/1794778358024409591>

The "Relive the best memes mocking Cas descent into Turbo Mega Hell" in the 15x18 tag?

Have read the transcripts and seen the video, I say it was a side step (also the name of Cordell Walker's bar). Jensen never changed his anti-Destiel stance since 2014, and he hasn't changed his answers regarding the meme-making confession since 2020. Jensen is just getting better at being diplomatic when answering the same damn trap-loaded question while never straying from his original stance. And hellers are as usual twisting Jensen's words for their own clout-chasing or self-soothing.

Destiel hellers can't stop being bitter over the finale nearly 4 years later because they spent decade+ investing both emotionally and money on a stupid slash ship so they desperately need a "win" to show for their decade+ of investments.

This sad sap had a petition and wrote 29 pages essay on why few thousand entitled basement dwellers *deserve* a new SPN finale. 4 years later and they couldn't even get half the online Destiel fans to sign the petition.

This other petition even got less signatures.....

Farm Run**

Now on Patreon.

Summary: Cordell is ignoring Julia. She can’t have that. Pairing: Cordel x FOC!Julia. Warnings: Smut. Size kink/Size difference. Spanking. Dirty talking. Bimbo narrator. Fluff. Aftercare. Probably more warnings to come. This is a Stardew Valley-inspired story, I come from a land with no farms, don’t judge me. Patreon promo.

Keep reading for a peek into the story!

. . .

It was downpouring! He couldn’t throw her out of the bar when it was downpouring!

And that was her chick is his hay, she was not going to let him keep Cocoa!

“What are you doing?” she tried to fight his grip.

It wasn’t fair!

But he wasn’t going to the door.

Why wasn’t he going to the door?

“Cordell-”

She gasped when Cordell propped himself down suddenly, sitting on it and laying her on his thighs.

What now?

“Cordell!” she tried to question him.

“So God damn spoiled,” he grunted. “Can’t even accept a no!”

Julia frowned. What did that have to do with anything?! She wasn’t doing anything wrong, she just wanted him to apologise for how he had treated her!

“Never been properly punished,” his arm rested on the high of her back, holding her down. “Gon’ have to show ya what happens when you do somethin’ bad.”

Her eyes widened.

Show her, what did he have to show her?

Wait, something bad?!

“What do you mean?”

And then he slapped her ass.

Julia gasped loudly, jumping startled in reaction to it.

“Cordell!”

His hand was huge, it hit her ass and the top of her thigh, and he was strong! It wasn’t fair! Why was he spanking her?

“Bad girls need to be punished,” he said simply, half mumbling still, hitting her ass again. “Someone needs to give you a spankin.”

Someone… someone needed to give her a spanking?!

“I’m not a bad girl!” Julia squeaked. “I’m not-”

Another slap, right on her left cheek, and the whiplash made her whole body nearly jump forward.

“Cordell! I'm not a bad girl!" she whined.

She wasn’t bad! And she didn’t mean to upset Cordell, now nor before.

Julia took her hand up and hid her face, trying to keep a whimper to herself when she felt the warmth on her skin spreading, different from just the sting of his slaps.

Way more than just the sting.

They’d known one another for a while, but Julia had never been so physically close to Cordell before.

He was so big – so fucking big, with big legs and a big chest and big hands and big, big, big everything. And now his big hand was pinning her tiny body down against his big thighs while his big hands spanked her.

She bit back a whine, but her body chased his hand anyway.

He was slapping her so steadily it made her whole body vibrate, every cell light up.

And suddenly he stopped, mid a shudder of her body, and there was a lot moment of suspension and silence between them before his arm lifted from her back, and Julia turned around to look at him, finding him looking down at her as well.

“Cordell?”

[k-s-morgan]

Hii I am new to the Hannibal fandom and I think u understand the show and the actors and Bryan alot . But there are some things that are worrying me . I read about Ur speculation of Hannibal s4 and I agree with it even tho it's almost impossible now to get a season but my mind can't find peace if I don't get some answers so I hope u won't mind me asking you about your thoughts and what the plot will be for S5 as Bryan wanted to include sotl and what he means by Will being "happy" only in s5.

Will he Leave Hannibal or something??

Hello! Welcome to the fandom!)) Now, what I think makes sense and what Bryan could have planned might be different things, but if to combine them... first, here are my predictions for the potential S4 in case someone is interested and hasn't seen them.

According to Bryan’s words ever since the show ended, this is what had to be present:

1) Will being behind the veil with Hannibal, firmly turning away from the ‘light’ side once and for all.

2) Will and Hannibal being in Cuba and having “adventures” as well as going after Margot and Alana together.

3) Mind Palace, hallucinations, and search for self.

4) Will being out of his mind.

5) Hannibal manipulating Will.

As a theory: Will is going to feel drunk on his newfound darkness and freedom. He was repressed for so long that now that he Became, he’ll be losing his focus and drowning in his own preferences, forgetting what they were and turning into a much more vicious monster any of us expected. He’ll be chasing the high he felt from killing Francis and failing to find it. He’ll be surrounded by blood, his past victims (hence the return of everyone dead, like Bryan mentioned), and more madness. A part of him will want to impress Hannibal, to prove that he’s a worthy partner (which is supported by Will seeking Hannibal’s approval throughout the show - the way he glances at him after biting Cordell is a good example; the way he has low self-esteem and knows Bedelia failed Hannibal’s expectations). So he’ll be acting more and more violently.

Hannibal will see that Will is losing himself in a new way. He won’t want to start a physical relationship with him (which Bryan mentioned) because he’ll be afraid that it isn't for the right reasons, that Will is too far gone to made decisions. So, he’ll feel like the best therapy would be to push Will even more and make him realize that he’s approaching their new life from the wrong angle, to make him figure out that this isn't the kind of killer he wants to be. To do this, Hannibal’s manipulation will entail them going after Alana and Margot.

Will won’t be fond of the idea but Hannibal will manipulate him into accepting it, intending it as a test that will finally make Will snap out of his state. So Will will initially help hunt them down but then he’ll realize this isn’t what he wants to do. Hence finally getting his mind back, which creates the ground for his happiness.

Him being happy in S5 is another thing Bryan mentioned. We also know he wanted to do SOTL.

Personally, I don't think this show needs Silence of the Lambs with Clarice and Buffalo Bill at this point because it has already incorporated major elements from it. Clarice has been divided between different characters; we had a plot with Randall, who didn't feel comfortable in his body, didn't find acceptance from society, and evolved in his own murder-y way. I feel like this echoed the events of SOTL in a way that paid homage to it but remained unique and non-repetitive.

But Bryan does want to film his version of SOTL, so it is what it is. Why I don't think he would break Will and Hannibal up, even though it's purely subjective:

1) He said Hannibal wouldn't want to initiate sexual contact with Will as long as Will is out of his mind in S4. This implies to me that the idea is potentially in the cards for S5.

2) Bryan loves the books and pays respect to them in the most relevant ways. I think he wouldn't want to go against the ending where Hannibal finds the love of his life and enjoys his beautiful freedom. The specifics might differ, but Hannibal would still get his happy ending.

3) The ending of every season supports this notion further. Each one ends with Hannibal's victory, it's a narrative pattern, and breaking it would feel jarring (looking at 'Merlin' here).

4) Bryan is always promoting Hannigram in very positive, life-affirming ways. Here's one quick example of him confirming a fan's question if they can believe that Will and Hannibal are happy somewhere out there. There is a million more examples, and I am skeptical that he'd be doing things quite like this if he planned some ultimate tragedy between them.

About S5 plot: Mads said that Clarice wouldn't be Hannibal's love interest while Bryan said she wouldn't be Abigail #2 for Will and Hannibal. So I assume her role would entail either becoming a reluctant ally or a clever nemesis. Perhaps she decides to seek Murder Husbands out because she feels like they would be the best bet at solving some crime, and they feel amused enough to enter a chase with her; maybe Will and/or Hannibal are imprisoned again, so she comes to consult with them. Maybe Hannibal is imprisoned while Will creates the persona of Buffalo Bill to make people like Clarice talk to Hannibal in their desperation for insights while staging his escape.

I like the first and the third options most. Though since Bryan mentioned that he might push SOTL into flashbacks, like it occurred during the 3-year gap in S3, I really don't see the point of this story-line. Introducing major characters so late in the game is a very bad idea.

In short, I believe that the ending for Will and Hannibal is planned as happy, and I'll keep thinking this until proven otherwise (hopefully never)).

4x02 Review

I have to admit, I wasn't sure there would be room in the lineup for a lighter episode given the limited episode count, but "Maybe it's Mabelline" was just what we needed after that busy premiere.

The main plot of the episode is focused on protecting a key witness in a money laundering case: Maybelline Pratt. Despite her insistence that she doesn't need protecting and she's perfectly fine to testify, the FBI isn't taking any chances and they plan to put her into WITSEC. However, she refuses to leave with the men they send and since they can't leave her unattended, Cordell suggests one of our merry band of rangers take her home. Unfortunately, Cassie doesn't have a place of her own and Trey's apartment isn't secure enough to hold a witness. The safest place would be the Walker family ranch and, as much as Cordell is already annoyed with her, he has no choice but to agree.

Side note: Did Jared get tired of his character getting hit on all the time? I got that feeling watching everything between Cordell and Maybelline and Trey XD

As prickly as Maybelline is with Cordell initially, she softens after learning he lost his wife and become a single parent. This leads to some interesting conversation between them when he finds her sitting up at the dining table later at night. When Cordell opens up about his concerns with his children rushing out of the nest, she offers some unexpected comfort. The fact that they feel comfortable enough to leave means that he did a good job raising them, and they'll likely come back one day.

The next day, Cordell and Cassie and Trey bring her to court to testify, but things get hairy when there's a commotion at the security checkpoint. The rangers handle it, leaving her with a security guard who starts to take her away while they're distracted. It's clear that this was an attempt by the criminal on trail to silence her witness testimony and, while Maybelline can't escape on her own, she purposefully leaves her bag as a clue to where her captor took her. One parking garage chase scene later, Cordell and Cassie have the captors backed up against the elevator, where Trey shows up to save the day. Another successful day for our ranger troop, in more ways than one.

Fussy Maybelliene

Side note- did jared get tired of his character being flirted with constantly?

Meaningful conversations and realizations

Aside from the main plot of the episode, a lot of the episode continued focus on Stella handling her guilt and trauma from the break-in in the season 3 finale. In this episode, we're shown her guilt over what happened to Witt. Yes, Witt tried to harm her and Sadie and possibly Geri, but he still died and she feels at fault for that. He was young, just like her, and a had a whole future ahead of him- one that he can never live out now. Liam's attempts to assure her that she doesn't need to feel guilty because Witt was a bad person don't soothe her because she can't help but see Witt for all of who he was outside of the break-in. This results in a fight when Liam tries to push Stella further into equine therapy, something she just isn't interested in.

Later, we see her visiting a roadside memorial for Witt with a rose and a rugby ball, something she found out he was interested in. While she's there, she meets a man who introduces himself as Witt's uncle, which doesn't help her guilt in the least. She leaves quickly after she meets him, which gives our new man a chance to call and report their meeting to someone else.

Much later, at the Side Step, we see Stella trying and failing to get in contact with Sadie, demanding that they talk. Ben overhears and knows better than to push for details. Instead, he gives her space to air out her feelings. Unlike Liam, Ben validates her feelings of guilt and compares it to his own guilt over what happened to Lucas. He assures her that it's completely normal to feel that way and it just means she's a good person with a conscience. This gives her the comfort to reconnect with Liam over darts later.

Side note: I said this last time but I just love how much more a part of the family Ben has become. I just wish it didn't all happen off screen.

But, that comfort is soon dashed when she returns to her dorm that night and finds a threatening message on the window, written in dripping red paint.

A smaller plot that was no less significant was August wanting to join boot camp. He starts off by asking Bonham to go over Cordell's head and convince Trey to let him join without a parent signature. This is an interesting scene for me as it shows us that while Bonham is more outwardly supportive of August's military aspirations, he does have reservations about it. When August says that Bonham was the one that told him he needed to learn discipline, Bonham says that he can see August already has. Not that it changes his grandson's mind, but I think this was a great talk between them.

Side note: I did not expect Trey to be the drill sergeant for this program and I'm very much looking forward to August assuming he'll get a leg up because of that.

When Bonham tries to broach the subject with Cordell, he immediately shuts it down. Cordell is putting his foot down strongly against any parental interference this season and I have to appreciate that. It's clear that, at this point, Cordell is trying to put of August growing up as long as he can. It's not until an insightful conversation with Maybelline Pratt later in the episode that he starts to see things differently and signs the form.

In probably one of my favorite scenes of the episode, Cordell and August finally have a talk about it. Here, Cordell explains that while he doesn't necessarily regret his own tour in the military, he doesn't want August to rush into it. He's still young and he has a lot of options available, ones that Cordell didn't necessarily have when he came home from Afghanistan and suddenly had to become a father and provider. But, if this is really what August wants, he'll be supportive, no matter how much he'll worry over it.

Side note: The combination of that pilot flashback and Cordell calling August his "baby boy" did something to my heart and I'm not over it.

A small plot that I really enjoyed this episode was Cassie and Geri's friendship. I've long hoped for more female bonding on this show and these two becoming friends was a great idea.

We find out that Cassie has decided to stay in Austin with the rangers after figuring out that part of what made the FBI feel so great to her was that it was a temporary gig. Between that and James promising her a bright future here, she made a call to Tessa and started looking for new apartments. Geri is extremely supportive of that. So supportive, in fact, that she offers Cassie a chance to move into the bungalow later in the episode- which Cassie graciously accepts. I look forward to seeing how these two live together. And how Cordell handles this turn of events.

There is a part of me that wishes Cassie had spent more time balancing her options between the rangers and the FBI but I understand there were time constraints.

A small moment that I appreciated in this episode was Bonham and Abby talking in the barn after his attempts to talk to Cordell about August's boot camp dreams. Their couple banter was on point as usual, but I liked that Bonham brought up the concept of their future again. They haven't had a conversation about retirement since season 2 and I think it shows how comfortable they feel that Bonham was the one to bring it up again.

Side note: I love that Abby and Ben have gone into business doing weddings at the ranch. It just makes me happy how Ben has become a part of the family.

As with any good episode of Walker, I'm left with good feels on the episode and so many questions for next week! Where is Sadie? Where is Dettective Luna? How is August going to handle boot camp training? Is Stella going to be forced to tell the truth? Are Geri and Cordell officially moving in anytime soon? Will Maybelline return for Ranger Barnett?

See y'all next week!
