LEGO The Hills Run Red, 2009.

[autism-autobot]

LMK'S "REDEMPTION ARCS"

I like Lego Monkie Kid's "redemption arcs", and that is a hill I'm willing to die on.

It's no secret that the 'redemption arcs' in LMK aren't your stereotypical redemption arcs, AND THAT'S OKAY!!!!!

I think that it's very nice to have evil/villainous characters have a moment of "It was at this moment that he knew... HE. FUCKED. UP." and then doing a 180 from their original plans.

The Demon Bull Family's arc is a great example of this. Heck, Princess Iron Fan and especially Red Son might not have even been antagonists if it wasn't for Demon Bull King wanting to take over the city/world. They love him so much that they were willing to follow him to the ends of the universe if that's what it took to help him fulfill his goals and dreams.

Then came their run-in with the Lady Bone Demon. That's when the Demon Bull King realized just how much his plans could cost his family if he chose to continue down this path. IT COULD COST THEM EVERYTHING

Everything that he just got back. The family who freed him from captivity, likely in spite of having been told that it would be a fruitless endeavor. His family: a beautiful wife and intelligent, innovative son who love him so much that they'd lay down their lives for him in a heartbeat. His plans could cost them their lives and almost did. While under LBD's influence, he attempted to strike his son... and Red Son didn't even try to move out of the way. He had no reaction period. DBK is absolutely strong enough to kill his son. Had his wife not stepped in, Red Son might have been killed by his own hand if the blow was hard enough. That realization alone of what LBD almost made him do could very well be the thing that made him turn back on the idea of world domination.

It makes total sense for a man who's number one priority is his family (even if he doesn't always show it) to give up on all else if his family is the price he has to pay.

It's just not worth it.

He later lectures Azure Lion on this topic of "The price is worth more than the payoff" when he says in season 4:

"This pursuit of yours has warped your mind, brother."

The exact same thing happened to him. DBK tried to warn him to turn back now.

But he didn't.

And now he's dead.

Doing a 180 saved the Demon Bull King's hide and it works so much better for the story overall than a long fleshed out redemption arc.

The villain getting a reality check is in my opinion a much better storytelling device than a redemption arc and is criminally underrated.

A metaphorical (lego) brick to the face is much more powerful in my opinion.

Agora Hills, Renji Abarai [ HEADCANONS ]

— baby? can you call me back? i miss you !! its so lonely in my mansion :(

renji relationship headcanons + little non-canon-based ones

warnings ! — one (barely) suggestive one, non-descriptive mentions of wounds + blood, petnames (baby, sweetheart)

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

renji, despite what people (ichigo) think, is so incredibly gentle when it comes to you. yes, he's a little blunt sometimes and has argumentative tendencies with his friends.. but when it comes to you, he'd rather throw himself off of the repetence cell than treat you that way. he still acts like himself but always makes sure he's keeping within your boundaries and showing you as much love and affection as you desire.

sometimes he makes jokes about his wounds when you're patching him up and god, does it piss you off because he's literally bleeding out. when he notices your clenched jaw and the fact that you're not laughing he frowns and apologises because he knows you're worried. "i'm sorry baby, don't be mad", "you know i always pull through"

-> you roll your eyes and cross your arms and he sits up with a smirk, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind and leaving gentle kisses on your neck and jaw. he is SO cocky when you sigh and turn around, kissing his lips. "can't stay mad at me forever, hm?"

renji with a human s/o who has him getting a little more excited when he's tasked with going to the world of the living. he immediately rushes to your home and knocks on your door. you open the door with eyebags and messy hair and chewing your fingers anxiously. your eyes widen when you see your beloved redhead boyfriend.

-> he notices your appearance and lets out a sigh as he pulls you into a hug — he knows you were worried sick about him but it was inevitable given your situation. he squeezes you and runs a hand through your hair, "'m so sorry, sweetheart..." he mumbles to you. "i'm okay. i'm here."

— not canon-based

renji abarai is a one direction STAAAAAN. his favourite song is steal my girl and i know this man ugly cried, rolled on the floor, screamed into his pillow when they disbanded. he 100% had a twitter fan account and would troll crazy larries and babygaters, giggling in his bed.

one time ichigo dared him to do bloody mary and he kept making noises outside of the bathroom... renji refused to pee or shower without you in the room with him for three months. THREE. MONTHS.

he asked you to be his s/o by taking you on a cute little picnic date. he asked rukia to help him make a little basket up with sweet treats, sandwiches etc. he brings little canvases and oil paints along with a lego orchid set for you two to make together.

-> he tells you that you should paint eachother and when you show eachother your paintings he has painted (attempted to anyway) your favourite animal/flower/other and next to it written 'be my (preferred)?' in red oil paint.

renji is a massive cuddler and gives THE BEST HUGS. he is so so warm and his soft cologne is so comforting that you just melt into him. he gives big bear hugs. wraps his arms around you and rubs your lower back with one hand as the other pets your head. UGHHH !!!!

may make a pt 2 to this if i can think of more, I NEED HIM SO BAD OMG. i love renji sm i wish men were real 😓

[emotionaldashtoons]

Here's my poster of my official version of my version for my DisneyElseWorld's Pixar's...

INSIDE OUT 2!

I saw the new Inside Out 2 trailer, and they made Anxiety, Ennui, Embarrassment, and Envy bad by betraying the old emotions. Lots of crazy stuff is about to happen! We don't know what's going on, lots of details are there too. But what would the ElseWorld version be like?

CLOTHING CHANGES!

Fear is now wearing the same vest but it's gray and black with the same stripes on it, Disgust now wears a pink/purple dress (just like the old concepts of her from the 1st movie), and Anger wears a black button on shirt with a red tie with gold marks. Joy and Sadness still stay the same.

NEW EMOTIONS!

For my idea. I have 6 new emotions, one of my OC emotions I've created like, Courage, Surprise, Pride, Trust, Frustration, and Shy.

MAIN VILLAIN

I am using on of my oc villains, Spite, to be the main villain of the AU second movie.

OTHER CHARACTERS

Characters like Nia, the assistant of Spite, she runs the business with him but she tries to avoid him to help others. Bud, Courage's blood cell buddy, he doesn't speak but he's sweet, nervous, cute and got some attitude. And Brain, the big boss of Riley's mind, and the emotions need his help to stop Spite.

What New Places Would the Emotions Go To?

In this AU, far from HQ and Long Term Memory, instead of the back of the mind being empty, there is a huge mind-filled city called Mindtopia, aka, The City of Riley, where everything in the mind has everybody for Riley's Inner Workings in her mind. That also includes Headquarters. And guess what, they're not the only company, there's also banks, council buildings, restaurants, malls, houses, apartments, and everything for Mind Workers after they work at Long Term Memory. And The Mind Councilman, Chairman, is the Mind Prime Minister.

Returning Cast like...

Amy Poehler as Joy, Lewis Black as Anger, Bill Hader as Fear (YES! I'm bringing Bill Hader back! He's so much funnier then I expected), Mindy Kaling (Yeah yeah, I get it, Velma is garbage but her acting as Disgust wasn't) as Disgust, Phyllis Smith as Sadness,

Kensington Tallman as Riley, Diane Lane as Mrs. Andersen, and Kyle MacLachlan as Mr. Andersen.

With All-Star Cast like...

Chris Pratt (The LEGO Movie films, and Onward) as the new outside leader emotion known as Courage, Sean Hayes (Monsters University, Will & Grace, and The Cat in The Hat) as Surprise, Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters, and DC League Of Super Pets) as Frustration,

Andrew Rannells (Trolls Band Together, and Big Mouth) as Trust, Randall Park (the Ant-Man, and Aquaman films, and The Interview) as Pride, Tituss Burgess (Central Park, Angry Birds Movie, and Spellbound) as Shy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld, and A Bug's Life) as the sweet and huge, Mother Esteem, Eugene Levy (Finding Dory, and Schitt's Creek) as the mind algorithm boss of Riley Andersen's Mind/City of Riley known as Brain, Nathan Fillion (DCU's Superman, Monsters University, and Cars 3) as the very evil and hilariously charming, but whiny, Spite,

Isla Fisher (Rise of The Guardians, Wedding Crashers, and Scooby-Doo) as Spite's sarcastic female assistant, Nia, Dan Fogler (the Fantastic Beasts films, and The Walking Dead) as Mind Councilman Chairman, Ken Jeong (Transformers: Dark of The Moon, The Hangover, and Extinct) as Yes Man, Alan Tudyk (the Moana, Frozen, Zootopia, and Wreck-it Ralph films) as Mind Gate Guard Jimmy, Peter Sohn (Ratatouille, Monsters University, and The Good Dinosaur) as the emotions new best blood cell companion named Bud, Stephen Root (Barry, King of the Hill, and Finding Nemo) as Doc Stem,

Yvette Nicole Brown (Disenchanted, and Avengers: Endgame) as Riley's middle school P.E. coach, Mrs. Roberts, Nolan Gould (Modern Family) as Jordan, Haley Tju (Big Hero 6: The Series) as Kelli, Tony Revolori (the Spider-Man films) as Riley's bully, Francis, Josh Peck (Drake & Josh, and Drillbit Taylor) as Francis' curly bully best friend Lars, Bruce Campbell (the Evil Dead, and Spider-Man films, and Sky High) as Dale Daley, Rob Huebel (Knuckles, The Other Guys, and Goosebumps) as Geoff James,

I miss the warmth of childhood.

I miss the picnics in parks and crying because you dropped your ice cream.

I miss being constantly reminded of stranger danger, all the assembly's and demonstrations we were given, I know this one's weird to miss; but it's easy to see how they cared from it.

I miss being afraid of the dark and the way I'd make myself scared, by thinking of all the monsters that Could be wandering in there.

I miss making snowballs and snowmen, till the cold seeped through my gloves; turned my fingers red and froze the tears to my cheeks.

I miss the movie nights, wrapped up in a blanket, with popcorn and chocolate and sweets with the lights turned off.

I miss playing cars on the rug with roads and shops, putting little lego people inside and pretending they were going to work and hanging out with other lego friends.

I miss building a lego tower so high that it started leaning to one side, but I just kept building till it eventually lost structure and came down on my face.

I miss the cuts and bruises from playing, from running around a little faster than my legs could keep up, from slipping in ice when I didn't listen to my mother, from falling from swings and tumbling down hills.

I miss the safety blanket childhood wrapped around me, it let me see only what was needed, it filled my insides with warmth and made a bubble around my innocence.

I miss the simplicity.

I miss where I started.

I miss the child I forgot I used to be; the child I still yearn to be.

-Owl.

Ninjago dragons rising trailers + breakdown

I’m gonna put all the trailers and breakdowns of them, that are currently out here, if I miss any please let me know!

Spoilers below :)

Edit: the baby dragon is called Riyu, and I’ve misspelled Imperium as Emperium. Very sorry. This post is very long so I’m not changing it now, so just keep this in mind

Asterisks mean that the trailer was after the post was made.

A storm is coming. And nothing will be the same

Ninjago’s sky is a mix of deep pinks and purples, as a rift opens

The destiny’s bounty flies through the thick of it whilst a mech zooms around

Jay appears to be piloting the mech

Close up of Cole’s face, using his super strength evidenced by his glowing rift scar. He’s carrying something, possibly people

Jay’s mech slices through more debris

Nya uses her powers, catching people in a water bubble

Kai stands on bounty and throws a fireball

Cole is carrying people and jumps from a flying rooftop

Lloyd carries child Arin off of the bounty by sliding down a chain

The bounty ascends and Nya, Lloyd, Zane, Kai and child Arin are seen on the deck

A car struggles to drive before flying into the sky

Close up of Lloyd’s face (mask on)

The merging realms explode

It’s happening

This video is one scene, and it starts with Lloyd narrating.

The visuals are glowy and yellow tinted, and given that Lloyd is narrating, this is most likely a flashback.

Lloyd is walking into Wu’s study in the monastery and his narration says that Wu sent him to gather scrolls on “Coalescence” (meaning to merge elements to form one mass).

Wu murmurs about not understanding something and that “it’s been centuries”, before telling Lloyd that he hopes Lloyd will be a better master of the monastery than he was and to remember “Family is key”.

Lloyd then starts to protest that Wu has been here for almost a 1000 years but then the room shakes. Wu says that “it’s happening” and that they “needed more time to prepare”.

They run into the training yard where all the other ninja are looking up at the sky. The camera pans to the sky to show a rift opening and other worlds become visible. Lloyds narration says: “Then I saw the beginning of the Merge”.

The last clip is shows the destiny’s bounty and a mech flying towards Ninjago and the fragmented sky

Note: all of the ninja’s outfits are from the Core sets, which were Lego sets previously unconnected to the canon

Together we will rise

This trailer features a voice over. The voice is either a new character or just a voice for the trailer (let me know if any of the new characters sound like this). The voice is low and gravelly.

The monologue is as follows: “Everything feels so familiar. And yet nothing is the same. New world have risen. And with them, grave new dangers. New heroes must rise to the challenge. Together, anything is possible. Together, we will rise!

The visuals depict quick clips of different locations which I will now list

0:00 Ninjago city, Borg tower can be seen. It’s daytime. Everything looks completely normal

0:02 the monastery and its hill. Daytime. Also normal looking. However the hill looks a little overrun by flora, and you can just see the roof is rusted and grassy

0:04 the monastery and training yard. Nighttime. Not normal looking. There are two moons in the sky, one silver and a larger red moon. Grass is growing from the roof, the training equipment is out and all the lights are on. A portrait of Wu can be seen on a wall

0:05 the Crossroads (that is what I will refer this area as). Nighttime. Looks like a market square with shops, vegetable stands, etc. There are lots of cars and vehicles as well as people. Mostly humans but a prime empire whack rat can be seen in the corner as well as maybe a serpentine and a pink person?? At the centre there is a large neon sign that reads “Cross Roads” in ninjargon text.

0:07 Postmerge Ninjago city. Nighttime. Has Ninjago city’s skyscrapers but now buildings in a noticeably different style (in this stacked like appearance, the roofing appears to be more makeshift) can be seen in the foreground.

0:08 Mech Race Course. Daytime. A neon (I don’t know what they call that thing that they put over the starting line sorry), those new houses can be seen but are much closer to the ground. The ground is sandy, and is filled with mech suits. People can also be seen in the background. Note: this area may be the same area as the cross roads area

0:10 Underground train line. A train goes very fast, and we can see warriors standing on top of it. I believe they work for Ras.

0:12 Dragon mountains. Possibly Dawn, the sky is light pink. We see the destiny’s bounty heading over to some mountains which appear to have pine trees, the ground is obscured by clouds

0:15 Blue Rocky Realm. This area is possibly the realm of Madness which was seen in season 1 when Wu ventured to find Garmadon. There are rocky creatures which bear resemblance to Craglings. We see a Cragling? which has a large crown-like formation on its head, accompanied by two other craglings?. The door appears to be opening to reveal the crowned cragling, this door being guarded by two cragguards. Everything seems to be illuminated by cyan pillars on the walls and cyan cracks on the rock surfaces as well as an orange glow from behind the crowned crag. Their eyes are also cyan which is different to the past craglings from s1.

0:17 the Cloud Kingdom. Seems to be Dawn, the sky is a lighter pink. We see presumably the destiny’s bounty fly to the cloud kingdom.

0:19 clip of young Arin watching the merge as debris flys around. The sky goes a deep pink as the merge begins over Ninjago city. This clip is seen in many trailers. Note: in one of the fragments of the sky, there is a giant dragon

0:24 Dragon Mountains. One of Ras’ warriors keeps a large dragon tied up, before Rapton rolls in on a vehicle, obscuring the shot. This area seems to be on a mountain, the ground is a brown and rocky, the sky is pink.

0:25 Dragon Mountains. possibly in the same episode as the last clip, the bounty is chased and attacked by flying vehicles, seemingly aligned with Ras and Rapton. The same mountains with pines are in the background.

0:27 tech?? Room. The room has a lot of black surfaces and neon patterns, possibly large circular designs/fans on the walls, glowing screens etc, desks. the neon colours are orange and cyan. We can see two characters facing away from us, a man with black hair in a purple suit and top hate holding a weird dodecahedron, the desk he’s at also has a screw driver. The other character is a woman with black hair in a bun (there are also grey streaks which are barely visible from this angle) (it is the same hair piece as Cole’s mother), wearing a white outfit with gold lines and a hexagonal emblem on the back (this design is also seen on a screen at the back of the room).

0:28 Postmerge Ninjago city outskirts. Ras plummets from a blue sky onto a road, wielding a hammer. The merged houses can be seen in the background. This road seems to be a bridge/highway and he has landed in between some cold guys (possibly his own warriors) and a mech (the mech is blue, white red and gold). Ras’ landing produces a shockwave that pushes the mech (containing sora), Arin (wearing Lloyds old hood) and a baby dragon back. Alongside the merged houses, we can see trees and skyscrapers in the background indicating this may be post merged Ninjago city.

0:31 possibly the Crossroads? We see the backs of Sora and Arin seemingly standing on a building looking into the distance. It’s nighttime. The buildings appear to be in a more traditionally Asian style, the building in front of the characters has cyan paper lanterns, whilst the building near it has a lot of satellite dishes. In the distance another building has a sign that I think says “3838” in ninjagargon, there are many trees, the ground seems to fade into clouds and in the distance is a city, involving a large tower that glows orange. Arin wears an orange hoodie that has his name written in ninjargon on the back, and Sora has cat girl headphones, a gold prosthetic arm and a white outfit with orange harnesses and a cat picture on the back. The cat has a mark on its head which might be a stylised ninjargon “S”

0:33 Cloud Kingdom. Appears to be morning. Two white dragons with cyan and gold detailing fly around the city (they appear to be ice dragons?). Destiny’s bounty can be seen in the background.

0:35 Dragon Mountains. Many grey dragons fly in the background as one with gold armour and green eyes lifts its head

0:38 Postmerge Ninjago city outskirts. Sora flies away from the bridge in the mech suit (the baby dragon is on its shoulder) pursued by Ras’ warriors on those flying vehicles. Rapton can be seen face down on the pavement. We can clearly see cliffs in the background as well as the merge houses, and graffiti on the bridge

0:42 Mech Race Course. Top down view of the race, we can see a crowd of watchers which include Ninjago humans, the pink person, orange and purple frog people?? Geckles and munce, a merlopian, a hypnobrai and possibly a skeleton, and a prime empire whack rat. We can see the mechs racing, and Sora is in 5th place. They race through a town not dissimilar to the clip at 0:31

0:48 some sort of junkyard at night. Dancing yellow robots. I love them. I want to be as gleeful as them

0:51 same shot area as 0:31? Continues to be night, depicts the same satellite house, we continue to see Arin and Sora’s backs, with Sora putting her arm on Arin

0:52 Dragon Mountains. The grey dragons are being pursued by Ras’ warriors, the large golden armoured dragon faces against Rapton

0:56 Blue Rocky Realm. Arin, Sora, and their baby dragon fight craglings somewhere seemingly outside. Arin also appears to be holding something

0:58 title card. Dragons Rising is written in gold text and the latter word is struck by some kind of lightning

Meet the new characters

Not this is not from Lego’s yt channel

This is a series of clips accompanied by dramatic music

I am not doing the time stamps anymore because that took a while sorry

the Crossroads. A different angle of the same market square. Still nighttime. We can see a car with a red circular drum going quite fast. Cuts to a shot of Arin and Sora walking casually through the street, Sora waving as she walks, Arin turns around as it appears the drum car is behind them. Aron’s hoodie has a dragon design as well as his initial in ninjargon, whilst it appears Sora has her name on her clothes as well as a cat key chain attached to her harness. She also has face marks and makeup

Arin bakes a pie and offers it to some sort of reptilian/amphibian guy who’s outfit includes bottles of potions. The shot with Arin seems to be in some sort of bar, as there are dart boards in the background. Lizard man seems to be in a storage room evidenced by crates. These crates have a an obscured word ending with “dy”. Aron’s pie is also blue.

Arin and Sora wheel Sora’s mech onto the mech race track. Other mechs can be seen. This is probably connected to the race. Sora seems to be doing some sort of repair/modification to the mech and the mech starts to stand up on its own. The last clip gives a more clear view of the houses

The baby dragon looks down from above, presumably on some rocks (this may also be roof tiles)

Lloyd also looks up from above a vent/trapdoor. The perspective is from inside a dark room lit by red neon lights. Lloyd carries his sword from s11. We can just make out Arin looking up to him before it cuts to Sora and Arin sitting handcuffed, whilst Arin holds Lloyd’s old ninja hood

Cuts to Lloyd grinning in the monastery training yard as he activates a button with Wu’s staff. The training equipment is activated and Arin, Sora and the baby dragon watch

Kai and Nya jump down onto the deck of the bounty. They also high five

Chasing the destiny’s bounty is Rapton on those hover vehicles

We see a smirking woman close a hologram screen of Ras. She is blonde, half her blonde hair appears to be shaved and the rest swooped to one side. She seems to be older looking judging from her eyes (or she’s tired idk) and she has gold markings on her head. She also appears to be wearing armour. She seems to be in the same tech room as the hexagonal emblem can be seen on a blue screen in the background

Sora is in her mech in the fight around the outskirts of the city when Ras jumps on her mech

A giant wolf/wolf mech, with glowing purplish bits jumps from the sky. This appears to be the village that the mech race takes place. Rapton is seen in the background

Another shot of the destiny’s bounty heading towards the dragon mountains. It cuts to Lloyd at the bounty’s helm as we see the bounty get carried by a dragon (possibly the gold armoured dragon). We can also see Arin, Sora and the baby dragon on deck

Lloyd fights one of Ras’ warriors in Sora and Arin’s prison cell. Sora and Arin are still handcuffed

Arin uses a golden coloured spinjitzu (it is also animated so that we can still see him as opposed to him just turning into a whirlwind), whilst wearing Lloyd’s mask. He kicks one of the yellow dancing robots in the face. It is nighttime and they appear to be in the same area as when the yellow robots first appeared (junkyard like)

Sora uses a pink/purple power that makes her hands and eyes glow to build her mech. She (as well as the baby dragon) are in the blue rocky realm/realm of madness

Nya jumps on the edge of the bounty as the white (ice?) dragons fly overhead (implying this is the same episode as when they are at the cloud kingdom.

The baby dragon climbs on the roof of a house, in the same area as the mech race track

Ras’ warriors capture the armoured dragon at the dragon mountains

The cloud kingdom appears the be attacked by a giant purple monster with tentacles and one big eye. Sora flies around in her mech which glows with her powers, Arin navigates the sky with a hook shot of some sort and lloyd flies using spinjitzu

The title shows and gets zapped by lightning before exploding?

It all started with the Merge

This episode features one scene narrated by Arin, as we see his backstory

“And that’s when it happened” a child Arin, in Ninjago city (or just a village near) looks on at the fragmented sky as the bounty appears to be pulled into the Merge

The realms appear to explode (as seen in A storm is coming)

“As I saw my small neighbourhood disappear and a new city show up on the horizon” Arin now stands on orange sandy ground, surrounded by patches of grass and a couple of leafless trees. We can see a different city with an orange tower in the distance (the same one from the Together We Will Rise trailer). It is daytime but two moons are visible.

“I realised I had witnessed the merge, firsthand” the screen pans around Arin and fades into a map of Ninjago

“The moment all the mysterious realms I had only heard about merged with Ninjago for reasons no one’s been able to figure out” more islands appear around Ninjago on the map

“I survived… but I was alone” Arin looks worried until a bench swing crashes from the sky behind him, startling him. Some of Ninjago city’s skyscrapers can be seen behind him

“My parents and everyone I ever knew had vanished” Arin turns to look at the swing.

Within the actual scene, young Arin calls for his mum and dad before seeing a seagull and then seeing and catching Lloyd’s hood

It then cuts to a quick clip of Sora, Lloyd, the baby dragon, Arin and Arin’s dragon (previously I thought this was kai but apparently I’m colourblind (/j) or something lol) jumping towards the screen (Sora’s powers are activated and she’s punching you). The sky is the same pink colour as when the merge happened

Title card again

Change can be scary

Rift opening clip, child Arin looks afraid as he watches the merge. Arin narrates “My neighbourhood was to be the very centre of the Merge”

A man walks down the street reading the newspaper, completely oblivious to the catastrophe. Arin’s narration continues “But back then, we didn’t know what to call it”

A bench swing flies away and Arin struggles to grip the ground and flies into the air, nearly getting hit by a flying car

Arin’s parents, struggle but seem to be grounded, his mum screams his name, Arin spins in the air

Kai throws a fireball, same clip from A storm is coming, Cole clenches his fists and activates his powers, Zane activates his (Lloyd is seen behind him) and so does Nya. Arin narrates “That’s when my heroes, the ninja, arrived”

Pans to Lloyd who says “Hey kid! You get lost?” As the music goes silent and Arin just stares at him in shock

Clip of the crossroads (the same one from Together we will rise). We hear Sora’s voice say “You wanna experience other places?”

Cuts to Sora and Arin looking around as she says “Look around!”. Due to her hand placement. This is likely the same scene as the clips from Together we will rise.

Camera pans to show Sora on one of the large building stacks (it has a sign saying 3838) as she says “why go anywhere when the best of all the realms have moved here to the crossroads” the camera pans onto a post merged Ninjago city, now known as the crossroads. This shot is also the same as together we will rise

Cuts back to Sora and Arin as she says “for example: me” before running off

Clip of young Arin catching Lloyd’s hood, as seen in It all started with the merge. The shot transitions from a close up of his child face to him in the present putting the hood on. Sora’s voice says “Change can be scary, but it’s also a chance for something better”

Arin strikes a pose on top of a mound of scrap metal garbage cubes as the music stops and dogs look at him awkwardly.

Sora, rooting around in the garbage behind him says “Arin. Not to insult the dreams of my best new friend but… you are so not a ninja”

Sora, the baby dragon and her mech fall presumably off of the cliffs where they fight Ras, and the baby dragon blasts light at Sora

In the same area Sora uses her pink powers to rebuild her mech. Sora’s voice over says “trust me. We have to stop them”. Arin is also falling alongside them

Sora’s voice over says “Arin! What would the ninja do” as we seen Arin sitting in a mech as he looks determined. It cuts to a clip of Arin trying to kick Ras whilst they’re still on the bridge. Arin starts saying “Hope is the only thing the Merge didn’t take from me”

Lloyd salutes to a past Arin whilst riding on the Bounty’s anchor as he, the bounty and Jay’s mech get sucked into the merge and we see the realms explode like the other clips

Sora says “Hold on!” As she pulls the handles of her mech and pulls off a large jump possibly in the mech race

Rapton disturbs the mech race to shoot lasers at the baby dragon

Cuts to Rapton talking to a holographic video call with Ras who tells him “Do not disappoint me”

Ras continues to say “these creatures are dangerous” as we watch a baby dragon fail to fly out of a box (they appear to be either in a train tunnel of the same facility that Sora and Arin were handcuffed in, and are surrounded by Ras’ warriors)

Same clip from Together we will rise, of Ras jumping from the sky

Arin uses spinjitzu to corkscrew from the sky (tall buildings can be briefly seen behind him)

Sora slams other mech racers in the race

Title. No lightning this time

New show… New villains!

Rapton and Ras’ warriors seem to be stationed at at some sort of underground train station. Rapton and Ras are having a video call

Ras asks “The capture was successful?”

Rapton answers “Of course! Transferral will begin first thing in the morning”

Ras: “your overconfidence is a weakness, Rapton. These creatures are dangerous”

Rapton: “trust me! This thing isn’t going anywhere, don’t worry Lord Ras”

Ras: “Do not disappoint me”

The video ends, and Rapton looks upset. One of the warriors walks up to him and says “Lord Ras doesn’t seem to have a lot of faith in us”

Rapton: “he’s too uptight! We’re the best there is at rounding up these animals”

Rapton, mimicking Ras: “Your overconfidence is a weakness”

Rapton: “ha ha! Let me tell ya! I’ve never even heard the word weakness”

Warrior: “really? It’s a pretty common word?”

Rapton: “no- I- *stutters* i mean- I just don’t know what that word means!”

Warrior: “seriously? I can explain! Weakness. Noun. The quality of”- Rapton kicks him.

Rapton says “go away” whilst walking over to one of the cargo containers. He says “This guy in here? He ain’t goin nowhere aint ya” and starts laughing

The screens show the same hexagonal emblem seen with a blonde hair gold face tattoo lady scene as well as the purple suit guy and black hair bun lady scene.

Same ending clip of Sora punching the screen and title card

The world has changed so much…

Clip of young Arin watching the merge

Sora and Arin are on top of a train in the tunnels, Lloyd and Rapton are fighting behind them

Sora, Arin and the baby dragon defeat craglings in the blue rocky realm/realm of madness

Title card

shot of the old normal Ninjago from Together we will rise. It cuts to child Arin play fighting with a broom on his fence gate as his parents watch. His parents cheer until the sky turns red as they look concerned. Arin’s voice over says “Remember when Ninjago was the only thing on the map?”

Arin watches the rift. Young Arin flies off of the ground, his mother calls his name, Lloyd salutes Arin, Arin catches Lloyd’s hood. A child’s? voice can be heard saying “the ninja risked their lives to save people during the merge. But now no one knows where they are”.

Cuts to probably Lloyd looking at a portrait of Cole, decorated with flowers

Shot of crossroad market square (same as together we will rise) and Sora and Arin make their way through. A man’s voice says “Sora! Arin! Always happy to (idk what he says here? “Beeve”??) you two”. Cuts to Sora and Arin wheeling Sora’s mech in the mech race village. The speech seems to come from a green frog/lizard guy

Lloyd looks down from a trapdoor in the neon red room(same clip as trailer 1…) where Sora and Arin are held prisoner, Arin excitedly exclaims “the green ninja!”

Clip of Lloyd’s determined eyes, Lloyd fights one of Ras’ warriors in front of handcuffed Sora and Arin (same clip as trailer 1)

Lloyd says “the world has changed so much” this appears to be the same scene as the one featuring Cole’s portrait. Candles and flowers scan also be seen in this room. Children start to walk in behind him.

Same clip of the two white ice? Dragons in cloud kingdom as together we will rise

Arin says “you were meant to train us!”. The night sky can be seen

Arin and the dragon do push ups in the monastery training yard

Sora in the junkyard says “Arin you are so not a ninja” same cutscene as Change can be scary

At the dragon mountains, Arin loses control of his powers and slams into a tree and we hear him say “Dangit!” as Lloyd looks on. We can also briefly see one of Ras’ warrior vehicles head straight for Arin

At the dragon mountains, the bounty flies over, with Lloyd, Arin, Sora and the baby dragon on it. Lloyd says “they can’t do this alone”. It then cuts to Lloyd on the mountain saying “I need your help to save the world”

Arin jumps off of a scrap metal cube as Sora skids on her motorbike (which looks like it will become her mech)

Lloyd nods and says “we have training to begin”. This is incredibly reminiscent to Wu

Sora and Arin stand on the train and look behind them at Lloyd and Rapton fighting (same clip as the start of this trailer).

Arin stands proudly at the end of the training course in the monastery yard as Sora gets got by a swinging hammer

In the blue rocky realm/realm of madness, Kai says “oh hey Lloyd! Who are the kids?”. Lloyd looks at him unimpressed and a cragling stands behind them. Arin points excitedly at the fire ninja whilst Sora looks tired of Arin

Sora’s mech flies away from the bridge (Ras’ fight, same clip as together we will rise)

Clip of Arin, Sora and the baby dragon beating up craglings. Kai says “you baby sitting or something?”

Lloyd, Sora and Arin seem to be on the inside of Raptor’s train (possibly since they were in a cell) Lloyd says “it’s supposed to be impossible to learn spinjitzu by yourself”. Arin uses spinjitzu to fight one of Ras’ warriors, whilst they are on top of the moving train

Sora uses her pink powers on her mech in the crossroads city?? (There are fairy lights). It transitions to Sora using her mech powers in the blue rock/realm of madness. Lloyd’s voice over says ��you definitely have an elemental power…”

Sora uses her mech to stamp on Ras’ warriors’ hover vehicles on the road where Ras fights them

Cuts back to Lloyd, Arin, Sora inside the train. Lloyd says “…connected to this little dragon?” As he pets baby dragon who stands at his heels

Cuts back to Sora at the crossroads city with the fairy lights. The baby dragon is pouring magic into her as the now angry yellow dance robots surround her. Baby dragon is also wearing a rug.

Shot of the blonde gold face marks lady marching with these warriors (they have one eye). Cuts to what appears to be an alleyway with a poster on the wall depicted said lady. Cuts to a dragon in a room glowing (implied that it’s power is being drained). Cut to the gold armoured dragon roaring. Cut to a blue and yellow (possibly lightning) dragon in a city? scaring people. Cut to the dragon mountains where Ras’ warriors are taking down the gold armoured dragon. Meanwhile the blonde lady monologues “Soon, Emperium will have enough dragon power to rule over all the merged realms!”

Clip of Rapton falling from the sky (same as together we will rise)

Arin, Kai, Lloyd, Sora in her mech and the baby dragon stand in a sandy village similar to the mech race, braces for a fight and Lloyd yells “let’s free that dragon!” Scrap metal cubes are seen behind them

Ice, fire, lightning and earth dragons are seen roaring from cells in the same style as Rapton’s train and all other Emperium infrastructure

An Earth dragon flies through the blue rock/realm of madness dodging a boulder presumably thrown by a cragling, the bounty is seen behind it

Sora, wearing a different, darker outfit, and having more face markings, with a dragon behind her, in a dark area, says “there’s more than one way to be a ninja!” Cuts to Sora in the blue rock/realm of madness, using her powers whilst in her mech, with the baby dragon on her mech’s shoulder. Lloyd, Kai and Nya stare up (also in the blue madness) (Note: Nya is in her core outfit, whilst Kai and Lloyd are in new outfits)

Kai screams “not fair!” As he throws a fireball whilst being chased by the wolf mech thing from trailer 1. This seems to be the same area as when Lloyd yelled “let’s free that dragon”. Also a container appears to have the word “container” written on it

Lloyd is yelled at by a red headed lady with a scratch on her face who shouts “talk! Barf! Fight!”. Lloyd looks similar to Sora’s different design, with face markings and the same dark cloths. In the background appears the be the body of an ice dragon whilst there appears to be another dragon just behind Lloyd and the lady

In the blue realm of madness, in the background Arin, Kai, Lloyd, Sora and the crowned Cragling watch as Nya (in the foreground) jumps and blasts something with water

Lloyd creates a giant spinjitzu tornado and sweeps many of Ras’ warriors on the dragon mountains. A woman’s voice (probably the redhead lady) yells “attack! Spare no one!”

The bounty is chased by Ras’ warriors near the dragon mountains

A giant tentacle eyeball starfish monster attacks in the cloud kingdom

Sora falls, along with pieces of her mech and Nya, in the blue rock/realm of madness, towards some fire breathing dragons

The wolf mech thing fights a fire dragon inside an Emperium area (probably, it is neon coloured and looks similar so). Rapton rides on the the wolf mech’s back.

Title card. It gets struck by lightning and explodes

New French trailer*

More of a teaser trailer, it’s 20 seconds long with only a few unique clips

Starts by panning the camera around the desert where Arin landed in after the merge

Transitions to a new shot panning around an older Arin standing on top of the garbage dump and then a close up of his face

Then a bunch of clips from the merge, same as before other than two new clips of a man on his bicycle flying past a window and a seagull getting caught in the wind

Then it cuts to a clip of Lloyd, Arin and Sora in the dragon mountains, and Lloyd says (due to this being in french this is according to the yt translation) something like “the world has changed and it’s time to build a new future”

It then cuts to a golden poster featuring Lloyd, Sora, Arin and baby dragon, Riyu, the armoured dragon behind them, Sora’s mech and the dancing robots in the distance either side of them, and some of the crossroads houses.

We Rise (Music Video)

The official music video for the new theme song! I was gonna try to transcribe the lyrics I probably have auditory processing disorder I just replayed the start 5 times cuz I can’t understand shit sorry lol. I’m just going to move on and describe the frames. At this point we’ve seen most clips so I’m going to add (new) to every clip I recognise as being unique to this video

Shot of present time Arin donning Lloyd’s old mask while standing on a pile of scrap metal in a junkyard

(New) close up on the side of Sora’s mech. From here we can see the paint is chipped, but the arm swings down with eagerness. The ninjargon on the arm reads “sora” whilst the markings on the leg appear to read “sa -mark- 01”. It is possible that SA stands for Sora and Arin, considering Arin probably had a hand in helping build the mech.

(New) Close up of a hexagonal light, which has three sections that light up, indicating the start of the race

Arin sits in a mech and pulls Lloyd’s hood on his face determinedly

Lloyd and an imperium warrior fight, whilst Sora and Arin watch, handcuffed

During the merge, we see young Arin, Lloyd, Zane and possibly another civilian on the bounty. It zooms on zane using his powers before cutting to Nya, using hers, before cutting to jay in his mech

(New?)Whilst on the moving train roof an imperium warrior unsheathes their bald at Lloyd, Sora, and Arin

(New)Lloyd explodes into his super big spinjitzu

(New) on the moving train roof, Sora grabs hold of the imperium warrior’s blade and activates her powers on it and grins. Her powers apparently work on all technology, not just her mech

Arin tries to kick Ras on the bridge, Ras races his fist to block it

The Sora, Arin, Lloyd, Riyu and Arin’s dragon end screen where Sora punches you

Title card gets electrocuted

Observations so far:

This series probably starts with Arin’s backstory of the merge, and then him meeting Sora at the crossroads, where they look through rubble in order to find metal to modify Sora’s bike into a mech for the mech races. (The Ras and Rapton phone call probably happens here, just before the dragon escapes Rapton.) The yellow dance robots are probably supposed to be guarding the scrap and so attack Sora and Arin, who maybe cross paths with the dragon giving them powers, such as Arin’s spinjitzu and Sora’s mech powers (the scene where the dragon gives Sora powers in the street). They evade the dance bots and take Sora’s newly built mech to enter the mech race (they have to talk to the green lizard guy?). They enter the mech race but Rapton crashes it. Sora, Arin and the dragon are chased out of the race and onto the bridge where Ras appears and they all fall. The group then awaken on Rapton’s train. Lloyd shows up (might have something to do with the dragon) but he’s on the train and breaks everyone out and they escape. Everyone finds a memorial somewhere possibly in the bounty and are informed by children that the ninja were considered dead. Lloyd wonders what he should do and Arin says Lloyd should train them and so Lloyd trains them in the monastery. They then travel using the bounty to the dragon mountains and are saved by the dragons only for the dragons to be attacked by Ras’ warriors. Rapton defeats them, maybe due to Arin’s inexperience, and Lloyd asks Arin and Sora to help him save the world, now they have a better understanding of Rapton. The group start travelling to different realms, possibly to locate, protect/save the dragons there. This takes them to the realm of madness where they find Kai and Nya (Sora also gets a better control of her powers), and then they go to the town with the wolf mech, cloud kingdom and the place with the redhead girl as there are dragons in each. The wolf mech town has a dragon which Ras has got to and they must fight for it. The cloud kingdom has two ice dragons, before the place gets attacked by an eldritch horror. And the redhead girls place has a lot of dragons, possibly for dragon fighting, and she’s part of a society that either doesn’t like strangers or have strict clothing traditions hence, Lloyd and Sora in different outfits. At some point, the team free a group of dragons from the Empirium. Speaking of them, the Empirium is a group that want to rule all the merged realms and are harnessing the power of dragons. The blonde woman may be the empress herself, Ras works for her, and Rapton works for him. The hexagonal symbol is the symbol of the Empirium. The dark haired lady and man also work for the empress and create the science needed to use the dragon power. Also the wolf mech thing is a result of dragon power and this may be a stretch, but is possibly Ras himself. Idk tho. That’s just my silly Lego theories. I might make this a post later.

For those brave enough, the X2, with its rotating seats and face-first drops, is not just a rollercoaster; it's an experience that defies gravity. Tatsu, on the other hand, makes you feel like a bird, as you fly over the park with your face down and nothing but the sky above. If you're in for something slightly milder yet equally fun, the classic wooden coaster, Apocalypse, offers a nostalgic ride back in time.

But Six Flags isn't just about the big thrillers. Families can bond over rides like the Road Runner Express or the Magic Flyer, which offer a gentler but equally captivating experience.

The Batman

If I’m being entirely honest, I didn’t used to give a shit about Batman.

Sure, I’d gladly turn on LEGO Batman for the kids and chuckle along with Will Arnett’s tax-avoidance jokes, but it was just another cartoon. Or perhaps I’d watch one of the Nolan Batman movies and hide my face during the spooky bits, while primarily investing for the popcorn and inevitable, choreographed-to-perfection-bad-guy-ass-kickings. It was just a franchise, just a movie, just a name. And then some psycho strangled a lady in front of me and my kids at the park.

I should explain.

Sunday evening, December 12th. We were at the park across the street from our home; my then-husband, me, our two daughters. My ex had the weekend off, and it was our last few hours together before we rinsed and repeated the week. We’d been at this park a hundred times before, and on evenings just like this. December in Tucson actually isn’t too infernal–it was about 75 degrees, and the sun was beginning to dip in the sky. I had just taken a picture of Elinor, then 11 months old, as she worked her hardest to evade us around the play structures. That was when I noticed the woman.

She was walking fast. Really fast, and she was wearing what looked like pajamas, but with a thin coat over the top. I noticed the boy. He was thin, and it looked as if he was struggling a bit to keep up with the woman’s (spoiler alert–it’s his mom) pace. There was something about the pair that kept pulling my focus as I was chasing my Houdini baby. It wasn’t until I saw the man that I became suspicious.

The mom had climbed up the nearest play structure with her son (a tad unusual for a child his age–he looked circa seven to eight years old), but it quickly became clear that her proximity to him was deliberate.

The man was tall. Taller than my ex (keeping in mind that at 5″1 literally everyone above my height looks tall), and bulky. He was white with a trimmed, red beard. He had a baseball cap on, and he was also walking quickly. He did not look pursued.

And that fucker immediately pissed me off because he was smoking. I know adults are gonna do what adults are gonna do, but I will _always_ be annoyed when folks smoke around kids/kid-designated-spaces. And I feel really good about that hill being one of my “Oh-no-no’s.”

He followed her up the play structure. That was weird. Even run-of-the-mill dudes/dads/male-adult-humans at the park don’t typically do that. What’s more, the kid might as well have been invisible–that man was up there to talk to her. He kept putting his hands on her, leaning in, whispering, and every time he did I saw her focus on her son, gently untangle herself from his hands, and move herself and her son deeper into the park.

At this point I tagged in my ex. I wanted him to see what I was seeing, and I told him that I didn’t think she was safe with that man. I told him I was going to follow at a distance and watch them because I was worried. We split at that point–I took the baby and he had Marlowe. Truthfully, I doubt he shared my concern initially. I even wondered if perhaps they were a couple having a Rough Partnership Day™. Maybe I was the one overreacting?

Alas.

I was not.

There are three primary play structures at this park: a slide structure, a climbing structure, and a merry-go-round. As I watched, the man followed the woman, repeating his possessive body language at each new structure, while she continued engaging only with her son and eventually extricating herself from his reach. The park wasn’t empty by any means–there were easily two dozen people around during this entire thing. But this man was…persistent.

The woman’s only visible belongings were a plastic water bottle and a small purse. There were already about ten people at the merry-go-round, and her son wanted to join them. She kept her purse on her shoulder, but set her (mostly empty) plastic water bottle down to help push the merry-go-round once her son was on. It was such a sweet, ordinary, normal-mom-and-kid-moment. He reacted by nimmediately and aggressively crushing her water bottle in one decisive step.

And he saw me see him do it.

I made eye contact with him after he crushed the bottle, and for a moment he looked sheepish. Maybe even embarrassed. He picked the it up, and dutifully put it in a nearby garbage can. But that Turd had Showed His Ass™, and I told myself I wasn’t going to be surprised when he did it again.

I was wrong though. He did surprise me.

He recovered quickly, and in spite of the multiple adults and children around, he began repeating his behavior from before–coming close to the woman, whispering angrily in her ear, hand around her shoulders before she’d excuse herself to spin the merry-go-round again. I was deeply concerned at this point. I had previously been trailing behind Elinor, but now I picked her up and moved closer. I was perhaps 6-8 feet away, and I decided now was the time for some awkward small talk . I said something like “isn’t it fun how this thing never gets old–I loved it as a kid and it’s still so fun!” I am known to make very awkward small talk when I’m uncomfortable. She responded though. Agreed with me, and even said, “you know–I might just climb on myself! I haven’t been on one of these in a long time.”

It was such an innocent movement–play with her child, almost as if she was a kid herself again. Onlg problem--as she sat down on the merry-go-round, facing inward toward her son, the man walked up behind her and started squeezing her neck.

It was like that scene in the Marvel movie with Quicksilver–I was moving, everything else in slow-motion. I saw the her face. Her tongue was sticking out of her mouth. I could hear her gasping and choking. I don’t remember walking. I don’t even remember the weight of Elinor in my arm. What I do remember is that I started hitting a fucking stranger at the park. And that wasn’t even the wildest thing about it.

The really mindblowing thing to me was that it didn’t work. At least not at first. I hit that man with my free hand (slapping him, really) on the only part of his body I could reach–his right arm. His tattoo sleeve on his bicep was red. I remember noticing it as I hit and hissed at him to “stop it…stop!”

After several seconds he finally did stop (my smacks must’ve finally registered), but he surprised me yet again. He let go of the woman, and then turned to me, flicking his eyes to my baby, when he leaned in and said with dead, icy eyes, “I didn’t do nothin,” and he walked the fuck away like it was nbd.

At this point all the other adults activated. A Detroit-style mom who was nearby started screaming at the dude’s retreating figure, one dad called 911, and my ex heard me shouting, “I SAW YOU! I SAW WHAT YOU DID,” which prompted him to run over with Marlowe. It was…chaos. But the first thing the woman said was, “Please don’t call the police. He’s not usually like this.” Upon closer inspection, she had a painfully visible black eye. She eventually took her coat off, revealing more bruising, in various stages of healing, on her shoulders, neck, and arms. The poor thing. So determined to defend her bruiser.

And her boy. Her son. When all of this happened, I looked to gauge if he was okay. And he just held onto the merry-go-round, eyes closed, hidden inside. I have loved a few folks who disassociate to survive, and I think that’s how he survives too. He was far away. And all I could hope was that he wasn’t hurting too badly inside. During all the chaos it became clear she had retreated to park with her son that night to celebrate his birthday. He had turned eight that day.

Spoiler alert: the police never came.

I am not one to call the police out of habit, but I won’t lie–I expected something. But no one came. It was dark, and as we spoke with the woman it became clear that her Strangler was also her romantic partner and roommate.

I called three shelters that night, but it didn’t ultimately matter–she didn’t want to go to any. Shelters often (out of necessity) prioritize women–and they don’t typically take kids. She had to choose between having a safe place to land, or being with her son on his birthday and potentially beyond. Separation for her (understandably so) was intolerable. She had a non-drivable car where she told me she and her son could stay while she figured out her next step. And she emphatically communicated her unwillingness to make a police report. Brian, the name of TurdBucket, had all of her sons toys/belongings, as well as hers. Apparently he had retaliated to some previous offense by dumping all of their things in the dumpsters behind their complex (which coincidentally is also across the street from the park, less than five hundred yards away from my mailbox). She could not risk losing (including her laptop/phone) all of her resources that were still in his possession.

We bought a pizza to share with her and her son. We sang the happy birthday song.

The police never came.

We got a few missed phone calls between the hours of 11PM and 12AM, but understandably slept through both. We heard nothing more from law enforcement. This surprised me. I am not an expert or anything, but I assumed that the message “a man strangled a lady at the park–send help” would justify more than a follow-up phone call without even a voicemail.

So, the following morning I went to the police department myself.

I have never reported a crime before. And, I suppose technically I still haven’t, because they turned me away. Or rather, one officer turned me away.

I explained what had happened, explained the timeline, explained that I knew his name, where he lived, the company he worked for, I had his physical description, a picture of his license plate, phone numbers and statements from two other witnesses–and the officer only shook his head and told me that because I was not the victim that there was nothing I could do and to have a nice day.

I couldn’t believe it. And I said as much. Did he _really_ mean to tell me that a man could literally strangle a woman in front of dozens of adults and kids, and that in spite of everything, nothing would come of it unless the woman whose’ neck he specifically _squeezed_ decided to do something about it??

And he said, “yes ma-am–no victim, no crime.”

I felt defeated. I climbed into my dinged up Prius, and thought to myself, “damn. I wish that asshole HAD hit me so I could have done something about this.”

And then I did something I hadn’t done before: I took to social media. Tapping into local, communal knowledge proved valuable.

Turns out that officer WAS supposed to take my report. But I guess he just didn’t fucking feel like it.

Long story short, I barked up trees until an auditor who works for the city manager noticed. This ultimately culminated in the officer being reprimanded and “offered additional training,” and Brian (The Strangler/Plumber of Columbus Street) ended up spending a whopping three days in jail. Apparently he’s been a Very Good Boy™ up until now, so he got a lil’ hand slap, 3 counts misdemeanor (no felon charges), and he has to take an anger management class, as well as a domestic violence class. He is being prosecuted for assault, but since he has an otherwise spotless record (at least locally) it appears this is the best the system can do.

Ya’ll.

I’m a white lady, at the time married to a white surgeon, in America. And with all my resources, time, and education, THIS was the pittance law enforcement could offer me. In fact, if she hadn’t been with her son and if I hadn’t consequently involved CPS, I sincerely doubt my evidence would have even made it to someone’s desk.

I am painfully familiar with the poison of domestic abuse. I have been intimately aware of the dangerous cocktail of love and violence, and for a long time I have looked on and felt only helpless rage.

And then I watched The Batman.

And instead of seeing what I expected, I saw someone who reminded me a of myself. I saw someone who, through no fault of their own, was walking along, minding their own goddamn business when some psycho shattered the illusion that you were ever even safe in the first place.

And what’s more–I saw someone take all their pain, helplessness, and rage and turn it into hope. I saw someone who helped others believe that maybe, just maybe, someone who wants to help make the world better/safer/kinder will come along and do everything they can to make things just.

I saw The Batman. But what I really saw was me, and a version of me that I could inspire myself with.

So, basically this whole post is a movie review, and if you haven’t seen The Batman, you should

Shirley Chisholm State Park

Surrounded by planes with their jet engines whinnying like Pegasus and cooled by a fine breeze, I paused. The bike mechanic recommended the park after seeing my tires. “You could totally do the gravel at Shirley Chisholm,” he said. “It’s nice out there. Bring your girl. They got birds. Peregrines, red tails. It’s not big, but it’s nice and green.”

I was there to buy three tubes since C.’s front tire had a tear too big to patch and was sold this plan instead.

………………..

We skirmished earlier in the day. Not fighting really, but exasperated misunderstandings. We ruined our morning with more sex. My legs ached from last night’s late-night marathon. “Do all that again,” she said, but I barely remembered. I remember I had five drinks, but Coyote pours them strong so it was probably more like 7 or 8. I woke in a bog of my own making; my peers already done with their long run and I felt behind.

It began with an errand. C had to copy Sav’s studio keys and drop them off for someone. Her new studio mate actually. Sav pawned it off to C, since she chose a 3 bed by a pond and working on a hippie farm upstate after their Clinton Hill landlord raised their rent. I suggested we divide and conquer since we also wanted to buy groceries and return IKEA stuff while we had the car. These scattered tasks became monumental, crushing our weekend elation. We sat on the floor to problem solve and I learned a thing or two about how C.’s mind works that I filed away for later use.

………………..

But now I’m out here and it’s peaceful. Birds all around and a breeze on my sun-blocked back. I’m starting to get hungry and very, very thirsty. I’m filming planes, trying to take nice shots of the sun and clouds and metal marvels, after my Dad told me I had a good eye. I’ve always shied away from visuals, partially because I had too many artist friends to fool myself into any confidence. But nature’s beauty is hard to sunder, and so is C.’s, so I’m moving a bit slower, trying our my mechanical eye. 

Writing, biking, running -- these things help me think, but I’ve never thought of all three of them as engines for thought. I used to pedal around all the time typing on my phone just to think. But that’s difficult to do safely in New York. Even Prospect Park is too dense unless you’re there just after dawn or well-past midnight. But out here with Shirley where the city recedes to a couple of legos its wide as the Sargasso Sea.

………………..

When the park closed, I biked to Sultan Room to watch Emma perform with her second band Skortz, a 90s-style rock band leaning into heavy electric guitar. The singer was like a hawk, powerfully belting long, unflinching notes into the mic. She was a poster child for the satanic panic. The guitarist had long shaggy unkempt hair, but everything else about him was put together just so: his glaring collar pulled over the lapels of his two-piece suit, which stopped just short of his bare ankles and leather dress shoes. The drummer didn’t give a shit. He was just there to wail on the skins. And then there was Emma, beaming with the biggest smile as they sang of death and pain and betrayal.

Sunday morning was kinder, easier. We turned on the AC and draped our bodies over each other, giving one-handed foot massages. I’m reading the WSJ weekend edition, the first physical paper I’ve ever subscribed to. She’s reading Bluets by Maggie Nelson.

Copenhagen exploration day part 2-

From there we split up as Matt and the 3 big kids headed back to the hostel to change for a planned ski day and Becca and Oli went to the Tivoli lego store to hang out. Matt had read about the ski hill in a guidebook but almost forgot about it, but boy was he glad he remembered as it turned out to be a thrilling adventure! “Copenhill” is  an artificial surface ski hill built on top of a sloping roof of a green powerplant that apparently burns Copenhagen’s trash and turns it into energy. There was a small rental and gear shop called “steep and deep” where we rented gear and set out. The rental guy said that the runs got steeper the further you made it up, starting with black at the top, then “red” in the middle, then blue and green at the bottom. He also told us that it wasn’t quite like real snow and advised us to pretend like we were skiing on a very icy surface and to start with the easy runs. This turned out to be good advice as it really did take some time to stop and you had to dig in edges a bit more to get a response than you would on snow. We started by taking 2 magic carpets then skiing back down to the bottom a bit tentatively on the blue, then green run. After that we felt confident enough to do all 3 magic carpets and did the “red” run no problem. The last obstacle to tackle was the poma lift to the top and the black run. This poma turned out to be the biggest challenge for the twins who each had a few crashes and pole drops on various laps. If they crashed towards the top Matt would make them walk sideways through brush and shrubs to the run and there were some injuries in doing this, including Buggy getting a stinging thorn in her thumb, leading to some tears. Poma lift aside, a good time was had by all and all somewhat had the hang of skiing on the artificial surface by the end of the hour we had paid for. The 4 who had gone skiing then hit up yet another food market en route home and enjoyed a variety of foods, though also longer lines than we’d had on either of the previous 2 food market nights, which meant we were a bit delayed getting home to the hostel and getting Becca her food. Becca and Oli reported having a fun time at the lego store and also having down our laundry to help improve the odor of our room. For a nightcap, dad danced with the kiddos to the rooftop DJ at the hostel, then we all headed to bed, ready for another new country in the morning.

blackhill headcanons: little red edition

fanart by @sup3r-s0ldi3r

— It doesn’t take long for Ana to start calling them Mommy, but the problem is she started calling both of them Mommy, they had to sit her down and tell her to call Maria Mama, so there will be no more confusion

— Ana and Natasha really love peanut butter sandwiches, whenever Ana has nightmares, they eat peanut butter sandwiches together (they also have to stock up on peanut butter a lot)

— Ana likes being read to but only likes when Maria does it, so whenever Maria is reading, she’ll sit in her lap and Maria will read to her. Even if it’s not bedtime. Ana doesn’t really understand what’s being read but she enjoys it

— Maria and Nat love taking Ana to carnivals, amusement parks and aquariums/museums.

— Tony runs a DNA test on Ana to check if she’s Maria and Nat’s biological child because he thinks the resemblance is too uncanny and it’s rare for a redhead to have blue eyes (he’s disappointed to find out they’re not biologically related, it’s just a coincidence)

— When Nat and Maria take Ana to Clint’s farm, he turns on the movie Anastasia and says that it’s like her origin, Ana is confused but the movie becomes one of her favorites

— They don’t know Ana’s birthday, they only know she’s 3 because Melina (and Tony) were able to determine her age with tests. So, they let her choose a month and a day, she picks January 19th.

— Ana still has a bad relationship with baths so, Maria or Natasha have to get in with her (this lasts until she’s 6)

— Yelena and Clint teach Ana all their mischievous ways. Yelena teaches her stealth and how to hide in small places. Clint teaches Ana how to use bow and arrows, he even gets her a mini set as a present

— The Widows often get pictures of Ana and her progress. They’re also allowed to visit her whenever they want as long as they call first so Maria and Natasha can make sure they don’t have any plans

— Ana’s full name is Anastasia Irina Romanoff-Hill, when they put her in school they shorten it to Hill so no one figures out her connection to Nat

— When Ana is older, they do tell her about her biological mother Irina, and they find a picture in the files Nat took and let keep it. Some of the widows that knew Irina tell Ana stories about her.

— Introducing Ana to the pool was hard because of her fear of being held underwater, but once they reassured her that she could use floats and not go under, she loved it.

— Ana calls Nick Grandpa and he absolutely adores her. They play together a lot and he’ll never admit it, but he smiles more with her around. If they can’t find Ana, they check Nick’s home office and find her asleep on the couch (just like Natasha used to do at SHIELD)

— Carol, Maria R, Wanda, Pepper and Yelena all think they’re the favorite aunt and joke about it alot. (It’s really Maria because Ana is really interested in planes and Maria will teach her about them when Ana visits. Wanda is a close second because she uses her powers to make light shows to entertain Anastasia)

— Liho is very protective of Anastasia, she sleeps at the end of bed and will curl up on her when Ana is distressed. Maria even gets Anastasia a stuffed black cat to take with her when they travel because they can’t take Liho.

— Peter shows Anastasia his lego collection and she immediately wants some of her own. Since Maria and Natasha worry about her swallowing them, stepping on them, or not being able to put them up by herself, they get her building blocks. (The Christmas before she turns 7, they get her a huge lego set of Avengers tower. She’s very excited.)

[inconstantsearchofperfection]

I have never understood how anyone can look at t rump and not be repelled the moment that you lay eyes on him.

He is disgusting to look at.

With the stupid clown hair and fucking sallow skin covered by orange dust.

His suits look cheap and shitty. That fucking red tie.

Everything about him reads : " I am a fucking clown show."

He sounds stupid when he talks. He sounds like he has brain damage when he talks. He is like an alien from another planet that has assumed what it thinks is human form and is putting chunks of words together.

Only they are never correct.

It is like his words were lego blocks and he was trying to build something . But. He ran out of the correct pieces so he just stuck whatever chunks he could find in the sentence to string them along.

He puts the wrong emphasis on the wrong words and letters.

That alone should have sent people running to the hills.

His physical appearance and aura alone should have repelled everyone away as much as ted cruz. ( they are both so disgusting)

He was a fuck up . He is a total fuck up.

He has been a total and complete fucknup his whole fucking fuckup life.

He has been a complete fuck up his whole God forsaken life.

And yet... he was believed to be a complex and powerful and knowledgeable business person by his dumb shit followers.

A fucking idiot who was bankrupted over 6 or 7 times.

When he was in the oval office. He was a fuck up everyday that he was there and every day he was supposed to be there.

He did not do his job. When he was bothered to do his job he was incompetent.

His incompetence was a combination of not wanting to do his job, not being able to do his job because he wasn't smart enough and not being able to do his job cause he didn't give a shit.

He botched covid care so badly that he got over a million Americans killed.

He probably got even more than a million Americans killed.

Every day ... every single day of his fucking stupid dumbshit life ; donnie lump has been a fucking fuck up. Every fucking day he has been a fuck up.

He has been a fucknup for years ... decades .

If you think he is not a fucknup then you too are a monsterous fuck up as well.

I ' ll quote a bunch a people here : " I don't mind him running as long as no one ( no one ) votes for him. "

I 'll go one better . I wish he would just die off already.

The moment he dies the world will become an infinity better place. I m sick of him and everyone he got behind him.

He s the antichrist. A very dumb , very dumb. Very stupid and dumb version.

He needs to go away. He needs to spend the rest of his life in prison cause I do believe he 's committed around a hundred felonies.
