DracariOctober_25

When Beowulf defeated Grendel with his bare hands, I kinda doubt it was this one-sided! Seems that we're still not quite as big as Earth, but that probably will end today! Want to help us raise funds and grow Dracario? This year we're supporting the South Sound Reading Foundation in honor of Mondomonger/Axelroo. Thank you for being there for me for a decade! https://www.southsoundreading.org/ This year's interactions are going to be a little spicier! We're only going to be increasing heights by a little bit per interaction, but Donations will begin to exponentially compound the results! The earlier the bigger, the better, and borkier! Voting will be for the next day's theme! Since we're supporting a Literacy Foundation this year, I'll select four possible literary worlds to draw our Derggo into at their given height! Each one will only appear once, so vote carefully! So how do we make this Dracario bigger? You can help! Right now, here's how much Interactions are worth: Likes = 27.521km Retweets = 68.802km Voting in the Poll = 27.521km Wowie Zowie that's a lot of height! It's still multiplied by 234.7% every day for the rest of the month, and you can help push that multiplier up higher! Every $1 donated will exponentially begin to increase these values per day, compounding +0.1% per dollar. That means the earlier you donate, the more growth it will compound down the line, and if my math checks out, he could be getting pretty huge, but will they stay on Earth? Only your donations will tell! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=H6ZB8M7EJ4QKE I will be counting Likes as Liking on Twitter or Favoriting on FurAffinity. I'd like to do more sites but I don't want to spend too much time collecting data when I could be doodling Derggo! Retweets will count both Twitter and Bluesky! Voting will count from the Twitter poll attached to the thread, or by visiting StrawPoll here: https://strawpoll.com/e6Z28LXqXnN

nu bet PROTAMS, ka pievienošu dziesmu!!! tā ir tik brīnišķīga!

Jēkaba Jančevska mūzika, Edvīna Raupa vārdi, Ievas Segliņas izpildījumā: "Branda dziesma".

Mēs staigājām roku rokā, Es un dievišķais Kas. Auksti šķindēja oļi, Zemi apara nakts.

Kā sirdspuksts gailēja tumsā, Gribas zvērīgā acs, Un nāve zaudēja ticības spozmi, Zuda asiņu balss.

Vien gaisma kā eņģeļu koris Dūra sāpīgi man. Vēji saauga kopā, Miesu pameta gars.

Kā sirdspuksts gailēja tumsā, Gribas zvērīgā acs, Un nāve zaudēja ticības spozmi, Zuda asiņu balss.

Edvīns Raups (1962-)

Very good news: WAR ARRIVES BACK IN RUSSIA!!! In the Leningrad Region in Russia, a terminal of the Trade Port in Ust-Luga is on fire since early this morning. Locals heard the sound of drones, and then two explosions., Russia, January 21, 2024. Source: NOELREPORTS

P.S. Ukrainian-made drones are able to precisely target and destroy the assets of pro-Kremlin oligarchs deep inside Russian territory... The Russians thought they would be able to commit war crimes with impunity, but they are very wrong. All supporters and participants in Putin's war crimes will be found and punished...!

The natural gas terminal is owned by a Kremlin-linked Russian oligarch...It is super important to bring the war back to Russian territory and make the Russian imperialists pay the full price for their friendship with the Kremlin.

​Back to the Future Day

Throw on your Nikes, pop in a VHS and rev up your DeLorean because October 21 is Back to the Future Day! First celebrated in 2015 (a significant year for serious fans), the original “Back to the Future” is a 1985 sci-fi classic that grossed nearly $400 million worldwide!

When is ​Back to the Future Day 2023?

Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and all the other memorable characters of the iconic “Back To The Future” trilogy are celebrated on October 21.

History of ​Back to the Future Day

Today, where we’re going, we don’t need roads. The iconic, nay, epic Back to the Future series gave millions of people in 1985 a glimpse of what the future could be like. Sure, we didn’t invent time travel (or hoverboards for that matter, we’re still salty about that one) but we did get an interesting look at the future that has actually come to pass. More on that later. Back to the Future day is celebrated on October 21, because that is the date Marty McFly originally travels to the past and sets in motion his undoubtedly existential adventure.

In the original film, there are various plot twists and turns but what really makes the film worthy of its own honorary day, is the vision of early prototypes of today’s tech, like large flat screens, virtual reality eyewear, video conferencing, computer tablets and biometric scanners. 

A 2015 CNN Back to the Future Day anniversary article tells us that, ironically, the most innovative part of the film was the VistaGlide motion-control system which allowed Fox to share scenes with himself. Bottom line, Back to the Future Day not only gives the audience of 1985 a glimpse into our current techno-packed lives; but “Back to the Future” lets you time-trip with a very cool movie!

The date for Back to the Future Day, is itself, doubly significant. According to the “Business Insider”, October 21, 2015 is the day the screenwriter, Bob Gale, chose for the Chicago Cubs to win the World Series, something, Gales says, “was the most absurd thing we could think of”  in 1985 (turns out he was a year off, the Cubs won the series in 2016). The idea of the Cubs’ winning the Series gives Marty McFly something to bet on as a “hook” for the film’s second story line. In the sequel, “Back to the Future Part II,” Fox’s character, Marty McFly, travels to the future in 2015 to save the children that aren’t even a “twinkle in their dad’s eye.” 

Back to the Future is required viewing for nearly every science fiction fan and continually holds up as a fun, energetic jaunt through time with some memorable characters and truly great catch phrases. So this October 21, pop in this film and say “Great Scott.”

​Back to the Future Day FAQs

What is Back to the Future Day?

It’s a day honoring the fictional story of Marty McFly and his companion,  Doc’s, time travel back to October 21, 2015 in “Back to the Future II,” the sequel to the original 1985 film, “Back to the Future.”

Why is there a backwards 99 in Back to the Future II?

When the DeLorean reaches 88 mph and time travels it leaves behind a trail of flames. In the scene in BTTF II, the DeLorean is flying when it is struck by lightening, causing it to spin on it’s axis and distorting the normally straight flame trails into the shape “99.”

Will there be a Back to the Future 4?

In 2016 when director Robert Zemeckis was asked about a Back to the Future 4, Zemeckis replied that, “There will be no more ‘Back to the Future’.”

​Back to the Future Day Activities

Create a time capsule: Just like you did back when you were a kid and if you have kids they’ll love doing this, too. Fill a box with items you’d want your future self to enjoy opening like pictures, tickets from a concert or items from your wedding. Once your box is full, put it in your basement, in the back of a closet or, if you know you’ll be living in the same house for awhile, bury it in the backyard. Don’t forget to include a letter to your future self with all your goals and aspirations written down.

Hold an "Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" Party: You may not be able to get Marty McFly to shred on the stage but you could invite some friends to don their best bobby sox, make some punch (spiked if you're of age), and boogie to some oldies like they did at that iconic dance. Who knows, maybe you'll come up with something "that really cooks."

Try to invent time travel: We've all got a little "wild-eyed scientist" in us and what better way to let that flag fly than by trying to emulate Dr. Emmet Brown? Ok, we know this one's a little out there but it's fun to dream, and who knows, maybe you'll surprise yourself (and, ya know, the entire world).

​​5 Reason To Rewatch "Back To The Future."

The film predicted three technological advances: ​Although most of the futuristic details in the movie have not come true, it did include communication similar to FaceTime, voice recognition, and thumb print technology.

​It wasn’t a popular script: Major movie studios passed on the original screenplay.

​Some executives hated the movie title​: A Universal Pictures executive wrote a memo saying he wanted the title of the movie changed to "Spaceman From Pluto," to which director Steven Spielberg responded by thanking him for the “joke memo.”

​President Reagan used a quote from the movie: President Reagan liked the fact that he was mentioned in the movie several times. He used the quote “Where we’re going, we don’t need cars” in his 1986 State of the Union speech.

​Royalty attended the premiere​: Princess Diana made an appearance at the movie’s premier in 1985.
