Webby: I dare you-
Huey: Dewey is not allowed to accept dares anymore.
Webby: Why not?
Dewey: "I have no regard for my own or others personal safety", as some would say.
Louie, *vivid flashbacks*:Fair enough
#because Dewey has that invincible until proven otherwise mentality#which Huey is massively inconvenienced by#Louie however finds it to be great entertainment#because Dewey will actually do anything#infact sometimes heāll make it worse#more dangerous#more risky#because heās not abt that easy life#or as Huey would say making it to his 16th birthday#webby vanderquack#dewey duck#huey duck#louie duck#ducktales#incorrect quotes#kid shenanigans

Bold of you to assume Louis will ever write a happy song lol
Why not š©. I know history is against me here (fitf, walls and even the songs he wrote for 1D) but my louie senses are telling me that thematically paradise is the transition song between fitf and LT3. Also, he's been so happy and content lately and he writes mostly from personal experience. He even said that he wanted to wait until he lets life in to write LT3 which means that he intends to write from new (and hopefully happy) experiences š (maybe he will stop writing about the defenceless waoyf and can we talk person š). I'm choosing to believe this until proven otherwise but honestly i know whatever he'll come up with, i'm going to fall in love with it ā¤ļø. I can't wait!

Hey Olimar, Hey Louie. You know how everything seems so big to you on the Pikmin Homeworld? Well, have you guys ever considered that you guys are just really small? After all, Size IS relative, and itās likely that the increased amount of oxygen in the planetās atmosphere, allowed for bigger fauna. In fact, judging from the size of the remains of the ancient civilization, you guys might be able to fit in the palms of their hands
thatās just me spitballing, though
The existence of creatures so large is massively improbable to our understanding of biology. Even with lower gravity and higher oxygen, the idea of a mobile heterotrophic organism (the kind that undoubtedly produced what we are finding), and one that is able to maintain its metabolism while moving such large limbs (if they have any) at that, is nearly fantasy. This theory also fails to explain the size of the artifacts that we are discovering: shields, statues, bedding. . . If I am small as you say, which I am not, then why do they suit civilizations of my own size? The theory of giants is similarly believable to that of an abnormally cultured and regularly sized peopleā that over so many millions of years, these strange beings were able to utilize their abundant environment to the fullest, and decided to make their homes grand and towering. They appear to have been very dedicated architects. . . But at the same time, if they were our size, the realm of technology that they must have possessed to navigate their modern world should look much more developed than it currently does.
The biggest problem with both of these theories is this: we have not found a single remnant of this lost civilization's bodies. Their artefacts mean nothing to me. As I scientist, I can exclude no possibility until I can falsify it wholeheartedly. There is no evidence that anything we assume is correct, simply because we should never rely on our own sense of normal for a planet so many light years away. Maybe they're giants, or maybe they're just weird to us. We are discussing possibilities, and I am happy to engage with your ideas.
- Captain Olimar
Don't mind Olimar, he doesn't like to be proven wrong. Anyway, If I'm just really small, that means there's a whole world out there consisting entirely of things I haven't eaten. I guess it doesn't matter to me how big I am. Though I wonder what these larger-than-life creatures would taste like...
- Louie

Villain!Donald Au! (Part 2)
Welp, I guess this is a thing now. Link to Part 1, though I will say I'm still not promising to keep this up yall. Maybe that way i wont succumb to pressure and never upload anything again abt this? We'll see lmao
"C'mon, uncle Donald! You'll be late if you wait any longer!", Huey exclaimed, the breakfast he'd prepared forgotten next to the stove.
"Uh, well, I don't know...", the adult duck stared at the screen of his phone, indecisive.
"And it'll only be a couple hours!", Louie added, doing his best to mimic Huey's responsible aura. "We can handle ourselves for that long, promise! We won't cause any trouble!"
Donald bit the bottom of his beak, eyes moving to see that the boys had put their lifevests on. He was running late, and they usually were mature enough not to get too badly into trouble...
"...Fine.", he finally relented, still feeling dread like a rock in his stomach at the prospect of leaving them unattended. He couldn't begrudge Pepper that she hadn't shown up today, of course, she was quite sick, after all. "But remember to keep on your life vests and don't turn on the stove and keep your fingers off the engine, and--"
"We got it!", Louie interrupted, giving his uncle an easy smile. "You can just go on, do your boring dayjob and we'll be perfectly safe, right here."
The adult sighed, but nodded. "Right. Okay. I will see you in the evening, boys."
He had just barely turned to march over to his car when the houseboat's engine let out an undignified sputtering noise.
Instantly, he whipped around again, narrowing his eyes as he realized that somebody was missing from the ensemble.
"Where's Dewey?"
------
"Destination: McDuck Manor.", the monotone voice of the GPS announced.
"McDuck... Manor?", Huey repeated, voice uncertain.
"You mean the McDuck that defeated the giant rock monster?", Dewey added.
"The super rich McDuck that you hate?", Louie threw his own thoughts into the conversation.
Donald sighed, a deeply exhausted sound. "...he owes me.", he admitted, then, before gritting his teeth and setting his face into an angry expression. "Enough that his housekeeper will play babysitter, at the very least."
The triplets exchanged disbelieving looks.
'Scrooge McDuck?!', Huey mouthed.
'Maybe he'll sell us.', Louie replied back, just as silent.
----
"Wow, uncle Donald did not exaggerate. Uncle Scrooge really does suck.", Louie commented, hands shoved into the pockets of his hoodie as he eyed the room the triplets had unceremoniously been shoved into.
With a bag of marbels.
"I don't know, I mean, he is family, apparently... Maybe there's something we don't know?", Huey replied, voice uncertain.
"Well, something I do know is how we're gonna get out of this room!", Dewey exclaimed, swinging the bag of marbels as though he had a brilliant plan.
Really, Louie wasn't quite sure why he'd gotten his hopes up; Dewey's plans were never as brilliant as he claimed them to be. And it was once again proven to be so, as the blue-clad triplet began smacking the doorknob with the bag.
Louie rolled his eyes and sat back, losing hope that they would ever get out of this boring as hell room. But his gaze snagged on Huey, who sat cross-legged just a couple steps away.
His expression was twisted up, a mix of confusion and frustration.
"...Huey?", Louie asked, reaching out a hand to touch his brother's shoulder.
The eldest triplet jerked at the sound of his voice. "Huh-?! Oh, uh, Louie! I'm okay!", the statement was followed by a less-than convincing smile.
Louie only raised one brow.
The red triplet sighed. He reached up to his hat, pulling out the ever-familiar Junior Woodchuck Guidebook. Louie responded with a mental sigh.
"It's just... In the guidebook it says, well, family is the greatest treasure of all, y'know? And, if Scrooge is so bad, I don't know... Does that make us bad, too?", Huey's eyes were huge and wet and urgh, Louie was not good at the emotional, mushy stuff.
Usually Huey was the one who handled it.
But now Huey needed guidance! So Louie slapped on a comforting smile. "What? 'Course not! He's just our uncle. Not like he raised us or anything. You know badness isn't hereditary, I've seen the books you read."
"You've read my books?"
"I looked up a summary for one of them for my book report last year."
Huey levelled him with a deadpan expression but Louie just shrugged. "Look, point is, he's done bad stuff and he might be a sucky person... But we're all our own people, right? We just have to choose to be better."
This time, a small smile crept onto Huey's beak as he put his Guidebook away again. "Yeah. Just... Choose to be better!"
Just in that moment, the doorknob broke off with loud crack and the jubilant cheering of one Dewey Duck. "See, I told you I had a genius plan! Now let's go touch some expensive stuff!"
Louie and Huey jumped to their feet, though before they could enthusiastically agree to that plan, a rope of some kind snapped out of the darkness of the hallway. It ensnared Dewey's middle and pulled him away, leaving only his scream in it's wake.
"Wh- what---!", Louie managed, before the rope came back.
It twisted around the remaining triplets' middles and pulled them out into the darkness, accompanied only by their own screams.
"I'm sorry!", Louie yelled as they finally came to a halt, hanging upside-down and illuminated only by a single beam of light. "We'll put the marbles back! We'll never touch anything ever again! Don't hurt us, please!"
But whoever had captured them, obscured in the darkness of the rest of the room, only scoffed. "Who sent you?!", the unfamiliar voice demanded, "Ma Beagle?! Glomgold?!"
Finding himself face-to-face with their unknown assailant, Louie cried out "Uncle Scrooge!", in a last effort to thwart whatever was going on.
Luckily for him, those were exactly the right words.
The stranger in the shadows gasped. "Uncle Scrooge?", she repeated, before clapping her heands to activate the rest of the room's lights. "The nephews!"
The light revealed a girl about the triplets' age with a pink bowtie in her hair and a throwing knife in her hand. The throwing knife didn't bode well, and all the triplets screamed in terror as the girl threw it.
However, it only cut the rope, freeing the brothers from their confinement.
"Hi! I'm Webby!", the girl exclaimed, extending one hand to the downed triplets.
Dewey, already on his feet again, shook her hand. "I'm Dewey!"
"Oh, uh, I'm Huey."
"Louie.", the youngest triplet rubbed his head, as he stared at the girl - Webby. "So, uh, do you just always tie up anyone who comes into the manor, or...?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry about that!", she laughed sheepishly, twisting her foot against the floor, self-conscious. "Usually when people enter the manor without my knowledge they're Mr. McDuck's arch enemies and we have to fight them off!"
"His arch-- How many enemies does he have?!", Huey exclaimed, alarmed.
"Oh, a bunch!", Webby replied, pulling a polaroid camera from... Somewhere. "Say cheese!"
The flash went off and the triplets found themselves temporarily blinded. "What was that for?!", Dewey yelled, rubbing at his eyes.
"It's for my McDuck board!", Webby explained. Her voice was soon followed by a zipping sound and when the brothers had blinked the stars out of their vision, they found... Well, a McDuck board.
"Woah.", Huey muttered, eyes glued to the intricate detail the board went into. His own organizer's heart sang with the beauty of it. There were different colored strings for different relationships!
"Wait, you said he had a bunch of enemies, but there's only one enemy line.", Dewey pointed out, eyebrow raised as he pointed at said line. It was dark blue and lead to somewhere off the board.
Webby, who had just finished putting up the triplets' picture, looked over, confused. "Huh? Oh, no, I didn't have enough space for all of them, so I made a seperate, less detailed board!"
With that she walked over and pulled on the line. A screen descended, this one similarly covered in photographs connected by colorful string. But the pictures were also accompanied by what appeared to be, each individual villain's most aggrevous crime.
Louie tilted his head in confusion at the profile of a guy called 'Glomgold'. The text next to his photo just said 'Too scottish?' which wasn't exactly promising.
He crossed his arms.
"Yeah, a guy with this many enemies cannot possibly be a good person.", Dewey asserted, "I mean, 'magically created shadow nemesis'? That doesn't even sound like a real thing! I'll bet it's made up to make himself sound cooler than he is."
"WHAT.", Webby exclaimed in response, expression aghast.
"He's not wrong.", Huey agreed, staring at one that simply read 'He knows what he did.'. The sentence was written next to a blurry picture of a mall santa.
"WHAT.", Webby repeated, before shaking her head. "No! No, Scrooge McDuck is the coolest-slash-bestest adventurer in the world! All these people are evil, or, or, bad, or something! But he's Scrooge McDuck! He's not a bad person, he's like... The best person!"
"Look, Webby, was it?", Louie interjected, moving his gaze to meet the girl's. "You grew up here, yeah? So, maybe, you're a little biased. I mean, you're... Wait. Who even are you?"
"I'm the housekeeper's granddaughter."
"Right, yeah, that. Obviously your grandma didn't wanna talk bad about her employer in her employer's house. She'd probably get fired if she did."
Webby looked conflicted. "What, but, no... I mean, she does talk bad about him though!", at the looks she received from the boys at this, she was quick to add, "Not like that! Just... Housekeeper stuff?"
"That's okay, Webby, you were lied to. But we can help you!", Dewey interjected, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
But the girl wasn't convinced. Her face settled into a determined expression. "No! Your uncle is the best and I'll prove it to you!"
She shook off Dewey's hand and promptly kicked the grate off a vent set low in the wall. "Follow me! To the wing of secrets!"
------
Defeating three different mystical threats in one go was, admittedly, kind of impressive. Even to the triplets who'd heard nothing but bad things about their uncle all their lives.
They came out cheering, only for Scrooge to silence them, by smacking his cane into the ground.
He was glaring at them. Their cheer immediately died. Well, except for Webby.
"What are you all doing out of your rooms?!", Scrooge demanded.
"What, you mean the only room in this manor that wouldn't pass a health and safety inspection?", Louie replied, expression deadpan.
"Wha- it's not that bad! I gave ya marbles and everything!"
"I counted over half a dozen exposed nails while we were in there.", Huey added, one eyebrow raised, arms crossed.
"Yeah.", Dewey spoke up, too, expression twisted into a scowl. "I guess family is nothing but trouble."
That, apparently, had been the exact wrong thing to say. Because Scrooge's frown deepened further as the tell-tale signs of an angry tantrum shook his body. "To your rooms.", he bit out. "Now!"
To everyody's misfortune, that last statement was underlined by a rather deafening hit against the magical gong Scrooge was stood next to. This simple fact had the kids gasping, reaching for their beaks with wide, terrified eyes.
"Oh, relax, the curse is only actovated if you hit the gong three times and, uh, you already hit it two times, didn't you?"
---
"In the short time I've known you, you've realeased several ancient evils, broke every rule I gave you and nearly cost me my money bin! You kids are nothing but trouble!"
To everyone's surprise, the elder duck broke out into laughter a few moments later. He walked over, slumping down on the log that already seated the children. He reached out, pulling them into a side hug with a content sigh.
"Curse me kilts have I missed trouble."
"Sooo... You're not gonna feed us to a giant scary ocean monster?", Louie felt the need to clarify.
The billionaire pulled up a brow. "What? Why would I do that? No, no, we're going on an adventure together.", he pulled out his phone.
Louie exchanged a look with Huey.
"Yes!", Dewey exclaimed, jumping to his feet. "So we can all get eaten by a scary sea monster!"
Scrooge laughed, "Not quite, lad. I'll keep ya safe, you donnae have to worry about it.", he ran a hand through Dewey's hair before finally hitting the call button.
"Mrs. Beakley? Clear my schedule! I'm taking the wee ones on a field trip!", he declared, before instantly hanging up again. He looked over at Dewey and Webby who were returning his gaze with that spark of excitement that Scrooge had so dearly missed in the past ten years of his life. "We're going to the list city of Atlantis!"
Louie chuckled. "Wow, yeah, no wonder Uncle Donald hates you.", he remarked, shoving his hands into the pocket of his hoodie. "You're way too into dangerous expeditions and stuff."
The sentence hung in the air unanswered for a moment, before Scrooge let out an awkward laugh. "Ha ha, yes... That is why Donald doesn't like me."
Meanwhile, somewhere far but not as far as one would think, Donald sneezed.
And at the same time, much farther away, up in space, doing her best to defend her spaceship against a Moon Mite, Della Duck gave a quite similar sneeze.
"Aw!", she exclaimed, just barely dodging the Moon Mite's attack. "They're thinking about me!"
-+--++---
Yeah i know this one is kinda following canon a lil close but. I promise if i write the next part, it'll be a lot more canon divergent. I just kinda wanted to lay some groundwork here first lol
This au needs a better name than just "Villain!Donald au" if this is gonna be a thing,,,, if u have suggestions, i'd love to hear 'em. I'm bad at naming things

dear i canāt stand louis anon,
i am writing you this letter with the purpose of begging you to send me the anon. i have proven to be a big fan of the man you no longer stand, as you can see by my numerous posts about him. if you need more proof of my louieness i can show you my 2k+ pictures of louis saved on my phone, as well as the countless louis icons iāve made for myself saved on my laptop. i can show you my spotify on repeat playlist, which is around 65% louis. i can show you my embarrassing tweets sent to louis the day of our disastrous collective date.
i can show you proof that i went to two of his fitfwt shows. i flew to another state for one of them, walked countless miles and waited almost three hours for the doors to open, all while having to deal with the 90 degrees fahrenheit temperature. i got three hematomas in my feet because of it. if that doesnāt speaks of my dedication to him i donāt know what will.
i admitted to my followers that i want to peg him. i have an extensive collection of queer louis reaction images. i made 12 people listen to faith in the future and they all loved it. i have made my non louie friends use his lyrics for their edits. i think i have enough proof of being a louie at heart, so i am once again asking you to send me the ask, as i have to let my jester side somehow and your ask would be a perfect opportunity for me to do so.
kindest regards,
logan anarchistlouis

The Best Games of 2004 | 20 Years Gone
A long time ago, in the late 00s, I REALLY wanted to be a Video Games Journalist. I was writing and podcasting for local tech website Techpedition and we even worked our way to E3 2009. I was able to parley my mask of legitimacy into getting a couple dozen free games from publishers, but was never able to break into the "business".
It's fine, I've still paid super close attention to the industry and have a handful of podcasts that I follow. One thing that I missed out on was creating the end-of-year best-of lists that have become so popular with pundits of video games. Partially because I didn't have a big enough outlet for it to matter, but more so because I didn't have the resources to play all the relevant games within their release years to render a judgment.
I typically get around to playing all the games I'm interested in, but it usually takes me about 2-5 years. It's partially a time thing but mostly a budget thing. So, what this is, is the beginning of my trip through the last 20 years of video games. I'll be creating a top 10 list for the last 15 years and going forward, I'll post a new list every year of the top 10 from 5 years ago. That is assuming I keep up with it, lol.
These will be written as if they were published the year of the list, so there will be no references to future games or better sequels, etc. Let's get started. Travel with me back to the year 2004 which, news flash, is now 20 years ago.
#10 - Metroid: Zero Mission
Not only is Zero Mission a solid remake of the classic original Metroid, but it succeeds at both making it feel modern and ultimately super-playable, which isn't something you can say about the old NES game.
#9 - Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within
Much more agro than its predecessor, The Warrior Within builds on the foundation of the standout Sands of Time and smooths out a lot of the jagged edges, specifically in the combat department. Your mileage will likely be tied to how much you like Godsmack-itude, but POP2 is a great sequel.
#8 - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Paper Mario was a weird novelty and shadow follow-up to Super Mario RPG, but despite its clear creative direction, it was missing the character needed to fully succeed in the RPG space. The Thousand-Year Door has character in spades, and it will charm your staples off.
#7 - Sly 2: Band of Thieves
Making Sly Cooper into an open-world heist game took what was a decent platformer to the next level. Where the first game was a solid third place behind Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter, Sly 2 makes the argument that it's a top-tier Sony series. Each mission matters and each of its characters is special.
#6 - Pikmin 2
Better than its predecessor in every way, Pikmin 2 shows the first game's primary game loop wasn't a fluke. The addition of Louie, as a second playable character who's played simultaneously with Olimar, adds a heightened level of stress, making each recovery mission a manic exercise in task prioritization.
#5 - Halo 2
Is Halo 2 as impactful as Halo: Combat Evolved? Not really. The story isn't stellar, and the surprise Arbitor missions are little more than a pallet swap, but dropping the proven Halo action onto the Xbox Live service is game and industry-changing. I'm not a multiplayer guy, but I enjoyed the single player and I recognize how important Halo 2's success is to gaming as a whole.
#4 - Mario vs Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong '94, on the Game Boy, is secretly one of the best games of 1994. Mario vs. Donkey is Nintendo fleshing out that idea and making an addictive puzzle platformer. It starts out simple and sweet and ends hard and satisfying. Had this been the direction the Donkey Kong franchise went rather than Rare's DK Country series, SNES games may have had a very different trajectory.
#3 - Spider-Man 2
Licensed games always suck. Movie tie-in games always suck. Spider-Man 2 is an anomaly on top of an anomaly and it's 100% powered by the Swinging mechanic Treyarch built for the web-crawler. It feels SO good to swing around NYC that it's hard to believe Spider-Man as a character wasn't created specifically for video games.
#2 - Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
R&C3 is undoubtedly a great game, I'd even say damn near perfect, but its placement this high on the list may seem a bit weird. That's where my opinion comes in. I'm a huge 3D platformer fan, it's probably my favorite genre. With that factored in with the depth and polish of this shiny new Ratchet game, #2 on the list doesn't seem so outlandish.
#1 - Half-Life 2
There's always talk of "importance" when it comes to works of art. Abbey Road is important, Michelangelo's David is important, and even A Clockwork Orange is important. Video Games, a medium that's still technically in its infancy, has only a handful of important titles. I'd say Half-Life 2 fits the bill. It's use of physics as a gaming mechanic is as technically impressive as it is clever. It's an FPS but it's not "just an FPS" and the mood and tone established throughout are as compelling as that of Blade Runner. Half-Life 2 is a stunner that will be studied for years.
Notable Omissions:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - I've never liked GTA games. I respect their scope and ambition, but when it comes to playing them as games, GTA titles just stink.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - I've never gotten into the Metal Gear games and the more people yell at me to play them, the less I want to.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap - This one technically came out in North America in 2005. So, with me being from the US, It will hit next year's list.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords - I might end up playing this one eventually, but as of 2024 I have not.
What are your favorite video games from 2004?
See you next time. Cheers!

Not to be predictable but Louie for the character bingo?
Pls be predictable heās my baby.
Hereās the thing I love that heās a shady little dude, but I donāt find greed or selfishness at the expense of his family charming at all? I love conniving, I love him being written as too smart for his own good, and I love that he gets recovery arcs, but then they just walk it back, and I think itās really really frustrating. Half the episodes I want to shake him, which is fine, bc heās a kid, on a kids show but like?
I think the difference between him and Goldie is that sheās a shady lady who plays with the team until she rolls out at the last second, but ultimately kicks herself for it every time. And thereās an established dynamic. Sheās thinking it through, itās measured risks bc Scrooge has proven he will be fine. Itās a weird consenting adult thing, you know? And she clearly has redeeming empathetic qualities that Scrooge knows about but others donāt believe him, bc he sees her in the quiet moments, and you never know if those are real or not, but he believes her every time, bc sometimes they are.
Louie, though, is a messy kid and just had a tendency to throw everyone into the fire. But he gets AWESOME growth arcs, and I think the core of his character is really awesome and fun, but sometimes I think his one-track mindedness is played for a bit, and I just donāt think itās charming.
Holding up Sky Pirates and Richest Duck, Deweyās written with super clear set up motivation, you see his clear, emotion driven objective from start to finish. Richest Duck, Louieās justā¦not written clearly? Itās a simple blindness written for a kids show, which is FINE, itās literally a kids show, I just am not super charmed by it.
Literally LOVE him though, heās one of the most dynamic characters on the show, and bouncing back and forth between cold exterior and insecure baby emotional life is so cool and valid. I want to tuck him into my pocket.

to hold you again (tangled au)
hi so i wanna talk about this au bc still i'm uncertain if i'm gonna include ty in it and i feel the need to ramble
so "to hold you again" is a tangled au!! it's a 4-part series that covers the three seasons of tangled: the series and an extra aftermath story!!
part 1: no time like the past
Louie Duck accidentally traps himself 200 years in the past with a timetub that combusted during the travel. Surrounded by strangers and with a war oncoming, he has to navigate through this old world for even the chance that he'll return to his time.
part 2: beyond the palace walls
With the rocks seemingly wanting to lead the princess somewhere, the group prepares to go on a year-long trip. Knowing the original history, Louie worries about betrayals and kingdom takeovers. But things have already proven to be different from his influence. Will this part of history change too?
part 3: destinies collide
[spoiler lol], a great evil has been unleashed. With lands being destroyed all around them, the group has to ready themselves for the largest threat they've ever faced. No one believes that they are ready, but they have to fight. They'll lose everything if they don't.
part 4: lost and found
[the entirety of the summary is a spoiler, my bad]
yes my oc's are in it- tis why it's being talked about here
none of these are really exact, but loose character roles/mixes
juniper - cassandra ximena - rapunzel/varian ozzy - eugene/cassandra ty - eugene/varian louie - rapunzel/cassandra
everyone else is kinda whatever
the sypnosis of the series is:
Shortly after every member of his family reappeared, Louie accidentally struck the timetub, sending him back 200 years in the past to the 1810s. The timetub busts, disabling Louie's ability to return home. Stuck in the past, Louie is captured and imprisoned during the war between the ghosts of the Lunaressence Kingdom and the people of the Solarfire Kingdom. Having heard the history of the war, Louie fears that if he doesn't do anything while in the dungeon, he'll lose his life. So, he rewrote history.Ā
in present time, the history is that the moonstone opal created the lunaressence kingdom and solarfire- the one with the most power- refused to call it a proper kingdom. so, as the lunaressence kingdom grew, it began to rival solarfire's power. not wanting to lose their spot in the hierarchy, solarfire launched an attack that killed the king, which led the lunaressence kingdom to fight back. a war started and lunaressence won, but all the other kingdoms turned on lunaressence causing it to become abandoned. slowly, the solarfire took out each of the kingdoms and destroyed germany in it's hunger for power.
this, however, is not the real history.
the real history is that ximena, the princess and sundrop of the solarfire kingdom went on an adventure to recover the moonstone opal to destroy the black rocks and save her kingdom. with her tagged along a few friends, including her best friend juniper (others were whittany and hunter). when they reached the moonstone, juniper had grown incredibly bitter and took the moonstone. however, she wasn't the true holder and it slowly drove her insane to the point she and her followers killed everyone in solarfire before moving on to the others- then lied about what happened to everyone and covered it up.
so... what happened to the other guys? well- ozzy and dottie initially died in the dungeon attack louie finds himself in upon entering the past, everett is part of another kingdom that eventually fell prey to lunaressence, and ty died when the rocks took over his village
but, when louie arrives, he doesn't exactly want to die, so... he rewrites history
i will not spoil the rest of the plot ;P

Some people say Elvis was racist; this is false
Ā Go to the bottom for summary (tl;dr)
I sometimes see some wrongly directed hate for Elvis and just want to try to clear it up. Iām a POC and Iām not a fan of his even a little bit, and Iām not saying he didnāt do some of whatever you accuse him of, but I donāt want people hating on others with misinformation.
Elvis was not racist.Ā He never said anything racist, and he admired and respected black people.
The only two allegations on record that I can find against him of racism are these:
One magazine in 1957 started a rumor thatĀ Elvis Presley once said, āThe only thing Ne**oes can do for me is buy my records and shine my shoes.ā This claim was debunked and proven false when a black reporter, Louie Robinson, investigated. He interviewed Elvis, who declared, āI never said anything like that, and people who know me know that I wouldn't have said it.ā Elvis had never even been to the place where the magazine claimed he said this quote.Ā Robinson found no evidence that the remark had ever been made, and on the contrary elicited testimony from many individuals indicating that Presley was anything but racist, including black people who knew him since childhood and black artists who performed with him.Ā After his investigation, Robinson concluded, "To Elvis people are people, regardless of race, color or creed." (link) (second link)
āFight the Powerā was a 1989 rap hit by Public Enemy, which had the lyrics,Ā āElvis was a hero to most / But he never meant shit to me / Straight-up racist that sucker was / Simple and plain / Motherfuck him and John WayneāĀ (John Wayne was actually racist).Ā However, Chuck D, the singer and writer of the song, later clarified his lyric associating Elvis Presley with racism. In an interview with Newsday timed with the 25th anniversary of Presley's death, Chuck D acknowledged that Elvis was held in high esteem by black musicians, and that Elvis himself admired black musical performers. Chuck D stated that the target of his line about Elvis was the white culture which hailed Elvis as a "King" without acknowledging the black artists that came before him. (link)
One time, Quincy Jones claimed Elvis was racist, but he had never actually met Elvis. He said that a white performer named Tommy Dorsey told him Elvis was racist, after which Quincy Jones refused to work with Elvis. However, it is on record that Tommy Dorsey liked Elvis on a personal level. Quincy Jones also claimed that every time he saw Elvis, Elvis was being taught to sing by Otis Blackwell, a black composer. However, Otis Blackwell never met Elvis in his life (according to Otis himself). On top of this, Quincy Jones is known to have said some questionable things over the years. Also, Quincy Jones had state din 2002 that Elvis was one of the innovatorās of pop music.
Part of the reason Elvis is sometimes accused of racism is that much of his visual and musical performance came from African American sources. People say that heĀ āstoleā African American music, and then became known as theĀ āKing of Rock and Rollā despite the many African American performers that preceded him.
Elvis acknowledged his debt to African Americans throughout his career, such as when he stated,Ā āA lot of people seem to think I started this business. But rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people. Let's face it: I can't sing like Fats Domino can. I know that.ā (That term is considered racist now but was widely used at the time)
Elvis never liked being called the āKing of Rock and Rollā.Ā It was a title forced on him by others. He believed the real āKing of Rock and Rollā was Fats Domino.
The reason for his singing African American music was that he grew up in majority black community and he grew up listening to black music. He often broke segregation laws by attending black clubs (often with the help of musicians like Ike Turner) and watched black musicians perform. He loved attending all-night gospel singings at the Ellis Auditorium in Memphis. The performances he saw there are where he later took some of his dance moves and songs from.
Basically, the reason Elvis Presley sang songs by black people and performed in their style was because he liked and respected their music and style. It was his own music too, to him, because it was an integral part of his life.
Elvis always looked up to black musicians.
Once, he recalled how he would listen to Arthur āBig Boyā Crudupāthe originator of "That's All Right"(which Elvis later did a cover of)āābang his box the way I do now, and I said if I ever got to the place where I could feel all old Arthur felt, I'd be a music man like nobody ever saw.ā
Once, surrounded by the Las Vegas press, Elvis was asked a question by a reporter who referred to him by his common moniker: āthe king.ā Rather than accept the title and all the praise that would come along with it, Elvis alerted the media of Fats Dominoās presence in the room. āNo, thatās the real King of Rock ānā Roll,ā Elvis said.
Elvis also expressed much love forĀ Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
One time, Elvis refused to perform a concert when the organizers refused to allow the Sweet Inspirations (Elvisās black female backup group) to perform with him. Elvis only agreed to perform once the organizers said the Sweet Inspirations could perform with him.
Black musicians admired Elvis right back.
B.B. King ("The King of the Blues"), who maintained a friendship with Elvis throughout his life, said of him, āLet me tell you the definitive truth about Elvis Presley and racism. With Elvis, there was not a single drop of racism in that man. And when I say that, believe me I should knowā. King wrote in Elvisās defense, āElvis didnāt steal any music from anyone. He just had his own interpretation of the music heād grown up on, same is true for everyone. I think Elvis had integrity.ā Presley also helped King land gigs, overcoming racism.
Little Richard was also friends with Elvis. Although eh pointed out that Presleyās whiteness helped his career, he did say,Ā āI love him. Thatās my buddy, my baby. Elvis is one of the greatest performers who ever lived in this world.ā
"Elvis created a new style all his own, and gave an injection to black music like no other artist had ever done." - Rufus Thomas.
Sammy Davis JrĀ said of Elvis, āI have a respect for Elvis and my friendship. It ain't my business what he did in private. The only thing I want to know is, 'Was he my friend?', 'Did I enjoy him as a performer?', 'Did he give the world of entertainment something?' - and the answer is YES on all accounts. The other jazz just don't matter.ā He also said, āEarly on somebody told me that Elvis was black. And I said 'No, he's white but he's down-home'. And that is what it's all about. Not being black or white it's being 'down-home' and which part of down-home you come from.ā
James Brown once wrote,Ā āI wasn't just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him ... I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There'll never be another like that soul brother.ā
Muhammad Ali admired Elvis. āWhen I was 15 years old and saw Elvis on TV, I wanted to be Elvis,ā said Ali. āOther kids in the neighborhood were listening to Ray Charles and James Brown, but I listened to Elvis. I admired him so much and I decided that if I was going to be famous, Iād do it just like him. Heās one of the reasons I wanted to entertain people and be loved by the people and make the girls admire me so much.ā He later developed a friendship with Elvis.
There is evidence Elvis donated money to civil rights organizations. (link) (and charitable organizations)
tl;dr Elvis wasnāt racist, and he had no intention fo stealing music.Ā HeĀ thought he was just another singer of those genres of music which he admired. He didnāt even think he was that good.Ā He believed there were many black singers much better than him. He credited black people as the sources of the music he performed, and never thought he was king of anything.Ā He loved, respected, and was inspired by black performers, and many of them loved him back.
The fact that interpreting black peopleās music made Elvis more rich and famous than black performers was mostly the fault of the racist white public. He appreciated black music and black performers, who were role models to him, while the white public refused to listen to black peopleās music unless it was performed by a white person. He did try to use his success to help black performers break racial barriers though, and his success did maybe open the door for black performers to gain access to the mainstream public.
tl;dr again: Elvis had a sincere affection for gospel, soul, and R&B, and a willingness to acknowledge his debt to the African-American musicians who had influenced him.
Elvis had problems, but being racist in this way wasnāt one of them.
If you hate him for other reasons, thatās fine, because the man was problematic as hell, especially regarding women.

hearing diablo say she's what he was thinking about brought a tiny grin to the corner of her lips , then a squeeze to her heart . was she happy ? elated , but that had proven to be a bad omen in her relationships as of recent years . blood on the moon . she brings their hands close to her lips , pressing a small kiss to his . the struggle he mentions when looking for reasons why she would stick around makes her hold back a laugh , because she knows he means it earnestly despite how serious he is . he doesn't see himself the way she does , sad as it is . feeling his kiss on her forehead makes sibella close her eyes , enjoying the brief tingle it leaves on her skin before something else steals her attention . i don't ever want you to leave .
that wasn't the real problem , was it ? quite the opposite really . still , sibella listened . ā you say that now , ā carefully , making sure not let go of his hand , she sat up . ā but there'll come a point when it's the only thing either of us can think about . ā lips press together , forming a straight line as she gathers her thoughts then shakes her head lightly . ā but i'm not leaving . i - i've made that mistake before , it was selfish , ā and it hurt louie . lifting her gaze , her free hand carefully reached out to fix diablo's hair , away from his eyes . ā but i need you to promise me something , too . ā

Three BIG likely indictments yet to come (Yes, all suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law)
The Oath Keepers having been convicted we can move onto
1. Conspiracy to Commit Sedition (Secret Service portion):
Jack Smith now has the texts that the Secret Service agentās āaccidentallyā deleted. Plus who set up the roster and of the White House agents.
2. Conspiracy to Commit Sedition (Congressional portion)
How did the rioters know toā¦
[1] go to windows which hadnāt yet been been retrofitted with reinforced glass?
[2] Find Congressional offices not indicated on any maps available to the public?
Or know that Pence and Pelosi and Senate leaders had been spirited away from the rest of Congress?
Congressional GOP who beg Trump for pardons after January 6th:
Mo Brooks
Matt Gaetz
Andy Biggs
Louie Gohmert
Scott Perry
Marjorie Taylor Greene
(Gym Jordon merely inquired)
3. Conspiracy to Commit Sedition (post-Election DOD civilian appointees portion):
āThe unavailable appointees and post-election REPLACEMENTS who could NOT BE FOUND in the Pentagon for six hours. They could have authorized the ready-waiting-begging Maryland National Guard to cross State lines and rescue Congress
ā[Then] acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, ā¦[then] chief of staff Kash Patel, and [then] acting Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, among other prominent Pentagon officialsā¦
āMiller, Patel and McCarthy have all been viewed as crucial witnesses for understanding government's response to the January 6 Capitol assault and former President Donald Trump's reaction to the breach. All three were involved in the Defense Department's response to sending National Guard troops to the US Capitol as the riot was unfolding.
The chief beneficiary of all three Conspiracies who also failed to authorize the National Guard.
Go 14th Amendment!
