#Transformer pez dispenser

[suck-too-hard-on-your-jaskier]

I... I bought two more and two pez dispensers. I should not be allowed into shops with a toy section.

It was Starscream and Shockwave.

The pez dispensers were Megatron and Bumblebee

I said I wouldn't buy any more transformers this year.

There were three and all half price in tesco. I am weak.

Anyway I now have a G1 Optimus, Megatron and Soundwave.

That's three soundwaves I have now.

Young Izuku nods. He’s still pale, with a careful blankness to his face, and his shoulders tremble slightly when he moves. In a small, sure voice, he says, “I’ve thought about what you told me, and what I’ve seen. And there’s only one explanation: I’m dead.”

“Ah,” says Mirio.

Izuku rubs his forehead with the heel of his hand. “We should probably just call Mr. Aizawa.”

There are versions of himself that Izuku wishes he could bury.

Summary: An older Izuku is accidentally hit by a quirk that spits out a younger version of himself. This is a terrible state of affairs given the amount of secrets he is keeping - and his younger copy's loose lips.

Author: @polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup

Note from submitter: this author has like, one of the most entertaining writing styles I've ever come across. fantastically funny, horrendously heartbreaking, all-around incredibly done, and absolutely *criminally* underrated; I'm considering getting into their more recent fandoms just so I can read more of their works.

[five-rivers]

Hi, I noticed when rereading your bnha fics that you edited them about a year ago. Do you remember if you removed a section where Aizawa was asking about Midoriya’s records and Nedzu was saying that he altered them “equitably” to be fair to midoriya? I’ve been looking for the Fic with that and it seems so much like your writing style that I thought I should ask. Love your writing :)

It is a good fic! I wish I'd written it, but alas. :D

Return to origin chapter 4 part 2 Clay and Viva

The pink troll duo head back to Vivas makeshift house to catch up with each other while Clay took his brothers to talk in private.

The pink duo was having so much fun with each other. They clicked so well together it was amazing. "So I was thinking about getting more into, like, reading short stories and essays instead of full novels"Poppy says her tail swaying.

"Ooh, I love that for you" She says smiling as she goes to get more stuff for them to do. "Yeah,but, um But just to circle back real quick. I still have a million questions about what happened" Poppy says, she needs to know what exactly happened for her sister to end up here.

"I used to live at the Troll Tree. I was there when you were born.And you were so cute.

Kinda like you are now, only teensier and weensier and not as fluffy and" She says before gasping. "Do you wanna make candy necklaces that we never finish because we eat all the candy?" She asks excited. She really didn't want to bring up old memories of.....that time. She knows Poppy just wants to know but she just can't handle thinking about that time.

"Obviously!"She says excited her tail tumping against the couch. 'No, no that sounds exciting but you need to focus Poppy she is trying to redirect you, you can think about candy necklaces later' she thinks to herself.

"But, Veev, I’m just gonna need you to focus here and, and tell me everything. Why am I only learning about you now? What happened?" She needs to know.

"We got accidentally separated" Viva says using a robot like voice with a pen dispenser as it dispenses a pez that Poppy catches. "And I’ve lived here ever since. The end. Wanna do candy toe rings next?"Viva says trying to redirect again. "Accidentally separated?" Poppy asks both confused and worried for her sister. Why was she being so defensive?

*cut to Clay and the others*

"Look I'm sure you guys want an explanation as to why Viva is acting like this" He tells the group. "Yeah an explanation would be good" Branch says crossing his arms. "Viva doesn’t like to talk about it. It’s too painful for her. But she’s been here ever since the night of the great Bergen attack" Clay explains to the group. "Wait what?" Bruce says surprised. "That was twenty years ago!" Branch exclaims shocked.

Viva was humming as she was making candy necklaces seemingly not phased. "Viva, are you talking about the night the trolls escaped Bergen Town?" Poppy asked,that happened twenty years ago! Viva stops her humming for a second "Oh, yeah." She simply replies before resuming her humming

"Not everyone made it out of that tree. Some of them got trapped by Bergens. They were this close to getting eaten…" Clay explains as he reminisces it wasn't pleasant for him but it didn't effect him as bad as it did Viva. "Until Viva and some of the other trolls fought them off." He says as he remembers Viva and other trolls using their hair to whip at Bergen hands that were trying to grab them along with punching and kicking said hands thankfully it worked at deterring the bergens long enough for them to escape.

"But by then…the tunnels had collapsed,and they were cut off from the rest" Clay says as he remembers feeling scared as he saw the collapsed tunnels but thankfully Viva was there to help lead them to another way out though it took some effort.

"We travled for a bit and soon Viva found this old, abandoned Bergen golf course and transformed it into this troll utopia. We formed this little sanctuary of survivors. I added fire exits, she added her heart and soul." Clay says with a smile. It took time and effort but they made it work and now everyone is living here....mostly peacefully. There were times where people would wake up screaming from a nightmare. They couldn't party too loud in case it would alert bergens to their location but they still made it work. They also have plenty of drills for all kinds of situations,it's always good to be prepared.

"I’ve thought so many times about leaving, you know, to look for you and Dad, but it’s not safe out there" Viva says her ears lowering a bit in sadness. Countless nights she has woken up in a sweat from a nightmare it usually ended with Poppy and her dad getting eaten by a bergen or some kind of predator. She has thought about leaving and she really tried but everytime she got to the door....her feet just wouldn't let her move and she just went back to her home saddened by her own lack of courage.

"Okay. Obviously this is a lot,and you should be able to open up about this on your own time. But we’ll have plenty of time to work through this on the way to Mount Rageous" Poppy says,tail swaying impatient she knows she needs to get Branch and the bros and head to mount rageous asap,Floyd probably doesn't have much time left. Viva puts a candy necklace around Poppy's fluffy neck, normally she eats it all before she finishes making it.

"Whoa! I am not going to Mount Rageous. And neither are you, silly. You’re never gonna leave again" Viva says leaving the home and shutting the door behind her. She can't let her sister go she just cant! She was lucky to be able to survive this long and now she wants to go back out into the danger filled world again?! No way that's happening not if she can stop it.

Meanwhile Poppy just stares at Viva in concern. She has seen this behavior before....with Branch when he was gray. They both don't want to go out and just stay hidden away from the world becuase of their fears. She managed to help Branch with his fears....most of them. She can help her sister too with hers.

Clay has grabbed a bag of supplies for the road, he needs to be prepared for anything and everything that comes their way. Branch looks inside the bag impressed at how resourceful Clay has become. "Okay, guys, if we’re gonna save Floyd,we need to get going." Clay tells the group.

"Right I'll go get Poppy"Branch says getting ready to get his girlfriend when Clay gently grabs his shoulder. Branch flinches just a small bit at the touch but thankfully Ckay quickly let's go. "No, no, no, wait. Hold on.

There’s no way Viva’s gonna let her go"Clay says. He has been here with Viva for 2p years he knows her almost more than she knows herself and there is no way she is going to let Poppy go after she just reunited with her.

"What? What are you talking about Clay" Branch asks confused. Sure Viva might be a bit upset that Poppy has to go for a bit but they would come back. Of course they would come back they would want to reintroduce the putt putt trolls to pop village and trollstopia. Why would Viva not let Poppy go though?

"Like I said, she’s got some stuff going on, man.

If we don’t wanna get trapped, we should sneak out now" Clay says whispering but it seems that Viva and the other trolls knew what he was going to do anyways as they have turned on the lights and shut the door trapping Rhonda behind it who paws at the door.

"Oh,Hey Viva! What's up girl?" Clay asks as if he wasn't just planning to leave. She along with other putt putt trolls look at him with firm look making sure he doesn't leave this place. Poppy who had managed to leave the housed finally makes it to the group. "Viva! What are you doing?" Poppy asks.

"You’re not leaving here no matter what, because......because it’s just not safe out there. You’re welcome." She says crossing jer arms her tone firm and final. "Wait, is this about the Bergens? Because they stopped trying to eat us. That’s all in the past" Poppy explains. She can't believe she frogot to mention that to her! Maybe now she will listen.

"Yeah, right.That’s hilarious, Poppy. I’m laughing really hard."Viva says angry. Friend with the bergens? Yeah right as if they would be friends with the very creatures that held them captive in a cage and ate them once a year. She knows they did it only to feel happiness but still that doesn't excuse them! Poppy doesn't understand what horrors Viva saw during trollstice as she was a few years younger than Viva. Viva has witnessed and heard the horrors and screams of trolls during trollstice,Poppy never has. Poppy has never felt the fear of wondering if she will be eaten that year or will live to see another day.

"I’m serious Viva,Bridget, my best friend I was telling you about,she’s a Bergen. Look, Bridget and I do a million fun things together. We talk and we play games and we sing songs. And make up these really bad dances.It’s a lot like....well actually.....it’s a lot like what you and I have been doing. The world’s a lot different than it used to be."Poppy says showing Viva her scrapbook of her and Brudget doing fun stuff together much to Vivas shock and confusion. Just what happened for the trolls to make peace with the bergens?!

Maybe Viva needs a second opinion from someone else. Someone who has gone through what she went through. Branch knows he is the best troll for the job,him and Viva have alot in common.

"Viva, look, I used to be just like you. I built a bunker,and I lived in it for years because I knew it was safe.And, sure, it kept me alive.

And I never had to wear pants,but I was living without pants.Does that make sense?"Branch says hoping this is getting through to the blond haired troll. Also he hates wearing pants around his bunker even more now cause of his tail,pants are more restricting even when he has tried to make them as comfortable as possible.

"Well I feel judged" Tiny Diamond says pulling back at the baby sling. "You don’t understand Poppy.I just got my sister back.I’m not gonna lose you. For anything" Viva says holding the scrapbook close. She can't lose Poppy....not again she isn't sure if she can handle it. She has nearly gone grey at times during the early months living here thinking her baby sister didn't make it.

They then hear the sounds of the chains being moved and the door opening. Turning around she sees....the outside world. "Clay?" Viva asks in confusion. "I’m sorry, Viva, but we have to leave. I don’t wanna lose my brother either" Ckay tell her. He hopes she will understand maybe not right this minute....but she will later on. Becuase he knows that if this happened to Poppy Viva would leave to go rescue Poppy.

"Cmon guys let's move!" Clay says as he jumps down and the others begin to head out. "No. No, Poppy, wait!"Viva says desperate as she follows but the moment she steps past that yellow line she freezes in fear with a gasp and quickly backs away into the golf course. 'Cmon stupid legs move!' Viva mentally screams to herself. Why is it that EVERY. TIME. SHE GETS TO THIS STUPID.LINE SHE.FREEZES.UP! Her sister is leaving and she can't even follow her becuase of her fear. Even Branch who she has alot in common with could conquer his fear why couldn't she?!

"Poppy, please!I want you to stay!" She begs her. She can't bear to see her sister leave after just reuniting with her. Poppy turns back her ears drooping and her tail low in sadness. She sees how Viva feels about leaving this place. She can see that Viva wants to leave she really does but just like with Branch she has a blockage that is preventing her from doing so.

"Viva, I can’t do that. But you can come with us. And I know you think it’s risky,and maybe it is, but it’ll be worth it. Family’s always worth it" Poppy offers Viva her paw. She hopes this will work though she highly doubts it would. Branch watches on in sadness, he felt the same way not too long ago. He knows coaxing won't work. This has to be something Viva has to do herself.

Viva looks at Poppys paw she wants to take it. She wants to take it so badly but.....she can't she just can't. "No, no, no, I can’t. I'm sorry Poppy I just can't." Viva says handing Poppy back the scrapbook and closing the door.

Poppy watches in sadness as this happens. He hopes after this whole rescue mission of over and done with and they come back Poppy will be able to help Viva conquer her fear together. Still she lays the scrapbook down in case Viva ever wants to look through it again.

Branch puts a paw on her back to soothe her as if telling her 'hey its alright you tried' they both look at each other and smile before heading back inside Rhonda and they take off ready to rescue Floyd.

[miss-piggy-official]

I was scrolling through you amazingly beautiful blog here, (while I had a friend over), and we saw your “trick or treat” post (you responded to a “trick or treat” ask with a Ms. Piggy pez dispenser) and she ask “what would come out of that pez? Bacon bits?”. Have you any response to her?? (I personally WORSHIP YOU AND ALL THE MUPPETS so I found her slander hilarious)

❤️❤️❤️❤️

My pez would taste like heavenly ambrosia, specifically as a result of coming from me. If you put my pez in another machine? Ruined. If you put another machines pez into me? Transformed.

If you put my pez in Kermit’s machine?Baby

The History and Evolution of Online Auctions

MN online auctions have transformed the way people buy and sell goods, blending traditional auction principles with the power of technology. From their modest beginnings in the mid-1990s to their global prevalence today, online auctions have reshaped commerce, creating a dynamic marketplace for buyers and sellers alike.

The Origins of Online Auctions

The concept of auctions dates back thousands of years, with early examples found in ancient Babylon and Rome. However, the digital era began in 1995, marking a pivotal moment for auctions. That year saw the launch of one of the first major online auction platforms, which initially focused on collectible items like Pez dispensers.

Unlike traditional auctions held in physical locations, early online auctions allowed users to participate from the comfort of their homes. These platforms introduced real-time bidding, fostering competition among buyers and enabling sellers to reach a broader audience. The simplicity of this model quickly gained traction, laying the foundation for a booming industry.

Rapid Growth in the Late 1990s

As internet access became more widespread, online auction platforms diversified their offerings. What started as niche marketplaces for collectibles expanded to include electronics, fashion, vehicles, and even real estate. Secure payment systems emerged, boosting trust between buyers and sellers. By the late 1990s, online auctions had grown into a multibillion-dollar industry, attracting both individual users and businesses.

Technological Advancements in the 2000s

The 2000s brought significant technological advancements that enhanced the online auction experience. Improved website interfaces, mobile compatibility, and faster internet connections made platforms more user-friendly. Search algorithms allowed buyers to find specific items quickly, while sellers gained tools to analyze bidding trends and optimize pricing.

During this period, online auctions also began integrating “Buy It Now” options, which allowed buyers to purchase items outright, bypassing the bidding process. This hybrid model combined the excitement of auctions with the convenience of fixed pricing, appealing to a broader audience.

Globalization and Niche Markets

The rise of e-commerce giants helped online auctions reach a global scale, connecting buyers and sellers across continents. At the same time, niche platforms catering to specific industries emerged. For instance, auction sites dedicated to industrial equipment, art, or luxury goods carved out specialized markets.

Online auctions also found applications in B2B commerce, with businesses using them to liquidate inventory, source materials, or negotiate contracts. Government entities adopted the model for surplus asset disposal, making it accessible to both businesses and the public.

The Modern Era: AI and Real-Time Bidding

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have transformed online auctions. AI-driven recommendations personalize user experiences, suggesting items based on browsing and bidding history. Real-time bidding technologies have also revolutionized digital advertising auctions, enabling companies to compete for ad space in milliseconds.

Mobile apps and live-streaming capabilities now bring the immediacy of traditional auctions to the digital realm, allowing users to participate in auctions anytime, anywhere. Blockchain technology is being explored to enhance transparency and security in transactions.

Conclusion

The history of online auctions reflects a journey of innovation, adaptability, and growth. From their inception as simple bidding platforms to today’s AI-driven, global marketplaces, online auctions continue to evolve, creating new opportunities for buyers and sellers in an increasingly interconnected world.

Do You Remember These Toys?

With the Christmas holiday season just around the corner, I thought I would like to share with you today some of the classic toys you have gotten for Christmas as a kid and/or have stood the test of time...

Do you remember getting that Fisher-Price rolling phone in which you pretended to call somebody?

Oh, and have you ever gotten one of those Transformers for Christmas?

Finally, do you remember getting a Texas Instruments Speak 'N Spell? You know, one you once got for Christmas that you learned how to spell words?

Good morning from Charlottesville, Virginia! ☕️

Another week, gone. We’re picking up the grandkids this morning so I’ll have to get this put together quickly this morning. Sorry, grandpa duty calls! 👴🏼

I’m finishing this off in the car as we go to get them. 🤣

Hope you enjoy the links.

The GOP’s abandonment of Ukraine makes me ashamed to be an American

This is gut wrenching. Ukraine is standing between Russia and Europe. That nutter in Russia isn’t going to stop at Ukraine. He’ll go until someone can stop him.

Come on G.O.P., get your crap together and defend democracy. Oh, right, you no longer care about that.

“Leave the World Behind,” which is based on a 2020 novel by American author Rumaan Alam and produced by among others Barrack and Michelle Obama, is nothing less than a modern-day version of Alfred Hitchcock’s unforgettable 1963 hit “The Birds.”

I watched this last night and I really liked it. If you have Netflix check it out.

Once upon a time — way back in, like, 2004 or something — I used to turn my nose up at sites that served an RSS feed with only an excerpt. It felt, I think I would have said, like a sleazy way to drive clicks. (“Information wants to be free!” etc. 🙄) Twenty years on I still read a ton from RSS feeds, but I found recently that I’m starting to thaw on that position quite a bit.

Ashur, what happened to the curmudgeon in you? 😃

As a developer of a feed reader I get request to display the full article and it’s what I prefer so I don’t have to visit the website. That’s a feature on the feature list for Stream. One of these days.

Introducing Mammoth 2: The easiest way quit Twitter/X for good and join Mastodon

It’s nice to see developers strive to make Mastodon work for old Twitter, non techie, users to get started with Mastodon. That’s been the biggest barrier to entry. Folks can’t figure out how to join and they also tend to like recommendations.

Earlier this year, a developer slid into Eric Migicovsky’s DMs with a spectacular claim: that he had reverse engineered Apple’s iMessage, allowing any device — Android, Windows, whatever — to send messages as a blue bubble. Migicovsky didn’t believe what he was reading.

This is an interesting read. Bravo to the 16-year old who figured it out!

But Overcast does exist, and it’s the app where most people with exquisite taste in UI are listening to podcasts.

Poor Castro has languished and definitely doesn’t have the geek recognition Overcast does. I’d imagine that’s why it’s the number one podcast player in John’s stats.

As far as UI preferences and paradigm go, Castro fits me better.

I’d love to be able to buy it from Tiny and keep working on it. I’ve already shared my opinion on the matter.

Yeah, this guy wants a theocracy. No thank you.

Sure, the Christians might agree with you but what about Jews, Muslims, Buddhists? Name your religion. It’s not right. Our First Amendment was setup to protect us from a theocracy, but we all know the G.O.P. doesn’t really care about the Constitution.

The Comixology app, the mobile incarnation of the digital comics platform owned by Amazon since 2014, has finally shuffled off this mortal coil.

I’ve had ComiXology for a number of years but I never went for the subscription. I just don’t read enough. I don’t see this as a bad move. Comics are just another type of book and the Kindle App is fine for reading.

While four teams are celebrating the opportunity to play for a national title on the field, undefeated ACC champion Florida State is on the outside, becoming the first unbeaten Power 5 conference winner to ever miss out on the College Football Playoff.

This broke a lot of hearts and it’s a real shame the 12 team — why not 16 — playoff wasn’t in place this year.

Of course I say that and my own thoughts on the matter didn’t include Florida State.

I also thought Georgia should have been in. Off by one error. We got Alabama from the SEC instead.

Apple

Apple TV+ today shared the first images from “Constellation,” a new eight-part, conspiracy-based psychological thriller drama starring Noomi Rapace (“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “You Won’t Be Alone”) and Emmy Award nominee Jonathan Banks (“Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul”).

So, yeah, I’m looking forward to this! Anything with Noomi Rapace in it is good in my book.

A Journey Through the History of eBay

Title: Unveiling the Evolution: A Journey Through the History of eBay In the ever-evolving landscape of e-commerce, few platforms have left an indelible mark as profound as eBay. What started as a humble experiment has transformed into a global marketplace that has reshaped the way people buy and sell items online. Let's embark on a journey through time to explore the captivating history of eBay, tracing its humble origins to its current status as an e-commerce juggernaut. The Genesis: A Collector's Obsession The story of eBay dates back to the early 1990s when Pierre Omidyar, a software developer, found himself fascinated by the world of collectibles. Inspired by his then-girlfriend's desire to trade PEZ candy dispensers, Omidyar created a simple website known as "AuctionWeb" in 1995. The website allowed people to list items for auction, and it quickly gained traction within the burgeoning online community. Birth of eBay: Power to the People As AuctionWeb gained popularity, Omidyar faced a new challenge: the platform's growth was outpacing his ability to maintain it. In 1996, he hired Jeff Skoll to help manage the site. Under Skoll's leadership, the platform's name was changed to "eBay," a nod to the term "echo bay," which was a reference to the developer's consulting firm. This name change set the stage for the platform's dramatic expansion. From Beanie Babies to Global Domination eBay's early days were marked by an eclectic array of items, ranging from Beanie Babies to antique typewriters. This eclectic approach, combined with the site's user-friendly interface, attracted a diverse community of buyers and sellers. The ability to auction off items to the highest bidder, coupled with the concept of "Buy It Now," where items could be sold at a fixed price, revolutionized online commerce. PayPal and the Digital Payment Revolution One of the pivotal moments in eBay's history was its acquisition of PayPal in 2002. PayPal's secure digital payment system streamlined transactions on the platform, boosting user confidence and contributing to eBay's growth. This acquisition marked the beginning of a synergistic relationship between two tech giants, enabling users to buy and sell with ease. Global Reach and Diversification By the mid-2000s, eBay had expanded beyond its core auction model. The platform introduced stores, allowing businesses to set up their virtual shopfronts.

🧜‍♂️MerMay- The Brothers🧜‍♂️GN Reader- SFW

Lucifer

Appearance

Lucifer has a long black tail with a hint of a royal blue striping on the back. His scales are smooth and small, ganoid shaped and are completely flat. A few black scales are on his face, just at the corner of his eyes giving them a sharper appearance and forming a diamond shape on his forehead. There is one scale slightly out of place on his diamond mark; it's not noticeable unless seen close up.   

His fins are long and flowing and are in the shape of rounded spades. He has a tear on his dorsal fin which goes all the way through the fin and has a scar on his back. His caudal fin is the largest on his body and has a peacock like pattern that can be flushed making the colors go from the normally black with barely visible blue to bright flashy blues, and reds on deep blacks.

His human skin is colored like a great white shark: creamy light skin on his stomach, fading to grey on his back; granting him the ability to countershade and aid in avoiding detection from above and below.

His face exhibits many shark features: broad and round head, small eyes, his mouth is filled with large teeth, and a flat nose.

Daily life

He’s very broody so he prefers the twilight and night hours; being accustomed to swimming in the deep parts of the ocean, too much light hurts his eyes but he also just enjoys the dark endless water with starlight above.

He has a very strict schedule, patrolling his nest, fighting off intruders, meeting up with Diavolo to hunt, clean up his brother's messes, patrol, try to sleep and get interrupted by one of his brothers if not more, and repeat.

He’s a carnivore so he enjoys eating whales, and sharks. He dislikes crabs and lobsters since they’re bottom feeders and he finds the idea of eating them very distasteful. 

He’s meticulous with grooming himself. He’s always sharpening his claws and forever growing teeth, picking them and cleaning them until they gleam in the light and buffing his scales to make them shimmer. 

When alone he enjoys trying to nap amongst a peaceful patch of seagrass. Drifting away slowly as curious little fish swim around him and the plant life softly brushes by with the current. 

He enjoys playing the violin, which surprisingly works, making melodies that haunt divers unfortunate enough to hear.  

Life with you

If you're a morning person you’ll get to see his sleeping unguarded face. He’ll try to wake up with you once he realizes, and within a few weeks he’ll be waking up far before you. He somehow has a built-in clock wired to try and make him wake up before you.

If you're a night person he’s thrilled to share some of the prettiest sights the ocean has to offer when the moon is out. Showing you his favorite spots to enjoy the night in silence. 

He becomes very protective of you and constantly scents you before leaving your side. Rubbing his palms on your cheeks or circling his tail loosely around you before brushing up on you as he swims away. No one will dare come near you if you smell so much like him.

He hates to admit it but he has the natural instinct of him bringing shiny things to you. He won’t even notice it until he pulls your hands in his and suddenly you have a shiny piece of sea glass in your hand. His face heats up if you tease him about it and suddenly he finds a speck on the wall very interesting.

Mammon

Appearance

As golden as gold can look, being actual gold, Mammon has the boldest scales of all the brothers. He’s not sure why they are, they’ve just always been that way and their weight doesn’t seem to be affected. His scales are ctenoid and can cut if he flares his scales and hits you with his tail. He doesn’t have any scales on his face and his skin seems to glow in the morning sun. 

His fins are exactly like that of a long spined sea scorpion with them having large painful spines inside them. Unlike the other fish he has a painful venom that can leave someone reeling in pain for days. It won’t kill but it’ll hurt!

He has two sets of canines that are very noticeable when he opens his mouth to talk. His upper right canine tooth has a gold coating making the tooth look like it’s made of gold. The top pair always hang out of his mouth while the lower one is hidden. 

He has shorter nails more meant for prying than slashing. Though they’re surprisingly well manicured and painted white.

Daily life

100% a morning person. Wakes up all groggy but after brushing his scales he's peppy and ready to start the day.

Mammon hoards his shedded scales, after all they are gold. He puts them in an old vintage submariner foot locker, nearly rotted apart but he sticks random stickers or patches onto it to help keep it together. A lot of the time the brothers will just take the money they are owed from the chest and Mammon whines about it; however, if they're pissed they’ll pluck some scales from him painfully.

His scales get plucked often: by the sea witches to whom he owes a massive debt to, his angry brothers, even Solomon sometimes plucks them off like he’s a pez dispenser. Because of this he sometimes has very sensitive scaleless spots. They grow back within a day but it still hurts.

He joins Lucifer in patrolling their territory. He’s just as protective over his space as Lucifer is, and of course he wants to look out for his younger brothers, but he won’t admit that unless it gives him a chance to use pity points to get out of trouble.

Very particular about his scales. He wants them looking pretty and as bright as they can be. Contrarily, he doesn’t give the same treatment for his hair, calling running his hands through to get the tangles out good enough.

Life with you

If you show concern for his scales he’ll play it off like it doesn’t hurt and it's really just a bother, but it isn’t. If you continue to worry about him or even offer to help patch him up he will become much more protective of you. You treat him so kindly that he doesn’t want that to stop.

If he’s in a bad mood or he gets jealous of someone, he'll grab you and shove his face into your neck and twist till his face is thoroughly buried. He wants to smell you so he can calm down and basically scream at anyone who comes by that you are something very close to Mammon so don't you dare touch.

He’ll try to drag you around to join in his mischief. Joining him in gambling rings or minnow racing. He’ll insist you're a lucky charm, though he just likes your company. He loves to bear hug you if he wins big and he holds you above him in the water with a big smile on his face.

Another victim of random shiny gifts for you. He's more aware of it and brags about how neat it looks even if it's just some old mirror. He’s always trying to play up how amazing his little gifts are.

Leviathan 

Appearance

His tail is very long, much longer than his brothers though it's thinner and has less muscle. His scales are ganoid shaped and colored the same color as his hair with a white underneath. During the night he has bright cyan bioluminescence circles on his sides. His eyes and tongue glowing as well with a very faint glow to his teeth as well. 

He’s embarrassed about it but he has multiple random patches of scales around his face and he thinks it makes him look weird.

His fins are shaped much like a goldfish, even having a round double tail and flowing fins. He is the most delicate looking one. But if he gets angry he transforms into a gigantic sea monster and can cause storms. 

He’s an omnivore so his teeth are small and much like a humans. They fall out if they get damaged but like a shark they’ll always grow back.

His skin is also counter shaded like Lucifer. Though more ashy gray color than his older brother. Unfortunately his bioluminescent colored scales, even though they pulse in brightness, make him much easier to spot. 

Daily life

He’s a night dweller through and through and refuses to swim during daylight hours. He likes to dwell in deeper waters so the light isn’t too much for him; but he mostly likes to stay in his cave and obsess over his washed up anime knicknacks. Making sure to pluck away barnacles and clean the muck off.

Since he’s an omnivore he’ll eat whatever is nearby. He enjoys jellyfish and the deadlier they are to humans the more he likes them. He's unaffected by their venom. Though he’ll enjoy a crab or free swimming fish. 

Leviathan does not like patrolling; he’d much rather leave the scuffling to everyone else so he can focus on more important things, like trying to dry out a keyboard in his open air room. 

His room is open air and inside a cave that can be accessed by a nearby beach. Inside is a shrine to his collection and he’s always fawning over it.

He loves that he matches with his fish friend Henry. They are extremely similar in shape, even having similar tails. He has a fresh water tank inside so Henry doesn’t get too dried up from the salt water. Leviathan can handle both fresh and saltwater so sometimes he hops into the tank to swim near his friend.

He’s very self conscious of his scales, especially the ones on his face so he has to make sure they look nice. His hair has to be styled just right to distract them from his face. He has a habit of pulling his bangs down over his eyes when he’s flustered.  

Life with you

Once he’s bonded with you he is constantly by your side and wanting to spend as much quality time with you as he can. He’ll be trailing you talking about the little curiosities he’s found. He whines about how he wants to go back to his cave but he won’t leave your side.

He’ll show you his collection of nicknacks and if you're able to set up a little television and gamecube he’ll be ecstatically waving his fish tail around like a dog. He’ll constantly beg you to play with him. He wants to CO-OP this game with you!

If he’s feeling cuddly that day he’ll float up to the surface and let you lounge on him and let the waves gently rock you both. He’ll hum old sea shanties he’s heard from sailors long ago as well as some anime songs from a series you enjoy together. 

Expect him to drag you to his spots for finding his little curiosities, he’ll want you to help him scour the area and find more fun items. He’s very happy with whatever you bring and he’ll keep them around his nest.   

Satan 

Appearance 

Satan is built similarly to Lucifer though his scales are more raised and spiny. His tail is a bright shamrock green which shifts to a seafoam green. He has a bunch of scales on the corners of his mouth and completely covers his cheeks.

His fins are long and have a crowntail shape that are tipped a deep black. When he gets angry his fins flare up making him look much, much bigger.

He has a flatter nose and bigger teeth like Lucifer. While they aren’t as sharp they are still dangerous if he’s mad. 

His skin also glows in the bright morning sun and if he’s lounging around he’ll attract nearby small fish to swim around him enjoying the serene glow he has.   

Daily life

He takes a long time waking up, and he’s not a morning person at all. He’s dazed for an hour or so until he’s fully awake, though he’s not much of a night person, more preferring midday.  

He’s currently got the goal of piecing together the world’s true histories. Figuring out what happened to old forgotten cities, lost treasures, and destroyed civilizations. He has a long way to go and he treats this handcrafted book like a child, holding it far above the water.

He explores with random, yet reputable exploration teams. Helping them with identifying relics or gems. He’s earned a reputation for himself by doing this and is often approached to go on expeditions. 

He is another type to patrol around his territory. He does it around midday though and hunts during these. He’s a carnivore and likes tuna and other free swimming fish, but refuses to eat squid and octopi due to how smart they are. He likes to feed nearby ones. Though they aren’t as cute as human world cats.

He’ll go to a human world pier and try to attract the local stray cats with his tail. He’ll leave them little gifts so now all the local cats come to the docks at a certain time to wait for him. He really wants to have a cat but sadly it’s a love that’s not meant to be, they are from two different worlds.    

Life with you

He’ll enjoy taking you on expeditions. Showing you beautiful sunken landscapes very few eyes have seen before. He loves seeing your reactions to sights.

He enjoys learning your hobbies and trying them out with you. He’ll go out of his way to provide an accurate experience to what you're used to since he enjoys learning and experiencing new things, especially now that you're here.

He's another one that loves to rub his smell all over you. He’s just as bad as Mammon, his smell is all over every part he can get to and stinks of “back off, don’t touch” causing others to give you a wide berth.

He’s going to hang off of you every morning. If you're larger than him he shoves his face into your chest and tries to go back to sleep. He looks so different with his sleeping face, he looks peaceful in your arms. But if you're smaller he’ll flop onto you and try to use you as a pillow. He’s surprisingly warm and his underside isn’t as spiny and sharp.

He’ll want to introduce you to his octopi friends. Each one is named after a different sea or famous author. If you agree he’ll be delighted to take you there and let you play with them. Though he might get a bit jealous if you get along with them a bit too much. He won’t show his jealousy though.   

Asmodeus 

Appearance 

He’s the most serine and delicate looking of all his brothers. His thin body has a bright cherry blossom pink tail and has long silky looking fins. His bright scales sparkle and shimmer and have a pearlescence to them. He has perfectly pure white scales patches on his tail as well giving a koi pattern. 

He resembles a butterfly koi but with longer and frankly impractical looking fins. They flow around him weightless and they look like silk in the wind around him. Even his dorsal fin is long and flowing.

He doesn’t have any scales on his face and he looks perfectly human from the waist up. His skin has an angelic like glow and shimmers in the sun. He has a few freckles on his face, chest and elbows. 

He has small pearly white teeth just like a human would, he’s very keen on keeping them perfectly white, just like his white scales, but his canines can extend like a cat flexing their claws.  

Daily life

He wakes up to his internal alarm clock, which is scarily accurate. Bright eyed and bushy tailed from the moment his eyes open. Swimming around and preparing himself for another day, brushing his tail, combing his hair, and cleaning his teeth, all while chatting to whoever will listen.

He is a highly requested entertainer for festivals and celebrations. He’s invited to grand openings, large festivals, and even private birthdays to those who pay him well enough. His dances and singing is the best among his kind and can easily enrapture sailors let alone his own kind. His voice mixed with the way his fins trail behind him like long fans is an easy way to get hypnotized. 

When he’s not booked for a celebration he’s helping Diavolo keep humans away from their city. He uses his voice to entrance anyone he deems a threat and can make them turn and forget why they were out here and what they saw. He doesn’t get into any of the violent stuff. That’s not his style.

If he’s not at home, he is always with someone. He’s like a fairytale princess with a crowd behind him, be they other mers or fish schooling around him. He always has a smile on his face and he’s not very quiet about how much he enjoys attracting an adoring crowd. At home he enjoys a nice relaxing self care session.

When he’s angry his canines poke out he doesn’t notice this habit of his, but it's usually because he’s extremely angry at the time and holds himself back.

He doesn't bother with patrolling and he’s not territorial in the slightest. He’s a lover not a fighter so his big brothers can handle any scary monster.     

Life with you

He’s bringing you to all kinds of festivals and parties as his +1 every time. You’ll be able to experience all the wonders Diavolo’s kingdom has to give and he’s extremely happy to be there with you every single time.

He’ll use his charm to get you whatever you want. Did you want that cute seashell necklace? Or that shark tooth bracelet? He’ll approach the store owner, shake his tail and flirt a bit and it’s his now. Which he immediately hands to you with a huge grin on his face, telling you how well it suits you and how you make that item look even better.

He’s always trying to groom you in any sort of manner. Rubbing your scalp and smoothing your hair with his finger. Trying to rub thick creams into your skin, or rubbing pigment onto your nails to paint them. You're the only one he’ll do this for.

He needs to hold your hand at least 3 times a day and needs a kiss before he goes to sleep and he’ll break into your room if he doesn’t get them all. He’ll act all innocent but he knows exactly what he’s doing. He just likes being a brat so he can cuddle and love you.

He also gets upset if you smell like someone else so he randomly jumps you and cuddles you in his arms rubbing his cheek against yours and rubbing you with his tail and brushing all of his fins against you. If you check you can see his fangs sticking out when he’s jealous. 

If you’re ever feeling down he’ll sing for you. Dance with you, twirling you around as if he’s the moon and you're the earth itself. He gets lost in the dance and by the time you're done you're both embracing and laughing. 

Beelzebub and Belphegor

Appearance

While being twins they couldn’t be more polar opposites. Beelzebub has radiant skin that seems to glow even in the darker parts of the ocean and a long sunset orange tail full of powerful muscles and reaches the longest out of the brothers. His tail is smooth and has a cycloid scale pattern. Belphegor has the shark-like appearance some of his other brothers have. Counter shaded skin, flatter nose. But he seems to absorb the light around him making everything seem much darker than they really are. His tail is medium size and is pretty thin. His tail is a deep eggplant purple with black spots.

Both of them have matching fin shapes, their caudal fin being shaped like a swordtail guppy and the rest of their fins are wide and shaped like fans. Belphegor's fins are mostly black but with the same eggplant purple speckled in. Beelzebub’s are the same sunset orange.

Beelzebub’s face is free of scales but on the sides of his cheeks and around his jawline and down to his shoulders scales are clustered around. They are thick hardy scales making his neck his strongest area besides his tail, but he has a scar just under his chin.

Belphegor has a freckle-like pattern of small scales they scattered all around his face only one or two at a time. They’re much smaller than the ones on his tail.

Belphegor has extremely sharp teeth and while they’re small they’re serrated. Beelzebub has mostly human teeth, though his canines are much bigger and wider, he’s able to crush stones with those teeth.

Daily life

These two have been inseparable since they were young and it's a trend that is clearly there to stay. They may have a different schedule but when they go to rest they rest and sleep in the same nest. 

Beelzebub helps teach the younger mers to fight. He’s been permitted to teach not only the royal guard but other everyday mers. He’s a proud teacher and he’s always trying to come up with ways to help each student of his even on an individual level, but that’s when he’s not eating. 

He’s also the kingdom's best hunter, and a small team is sent out with him every once in a while to hunt down any monsters that come too close to their kingdom. Beelzebub ends up eating the thing before they get back though. The bigger and more ferocious they are, the better they taste. That’s what he says at least.   

Belphegor is the kingdom's most talented astrologist. Unlike his twin brother though, he doesn’t put his skills to much use. He’ll help, maybe, if he’s not tired or if he’s in a good mood, but those chances are slim to none. Instead he’s actually a doctor. 

He’ll laze around in his office and sleep on the table, but when a patient comes in he’s somehow able to look over them once and tell what’s wrong with them. Even his brother’s are confused how he can just wake up, take one look at someone and perfectly diagnose them. 

He also seems to nurse others on an auto pilot. He barely has his eyes open and is able to patch up any wound he can find. Because of his talent yet lack of effort he has earned some ire from his peers. He doesn’t care though as long as he can keep sleeping on the job.

Many other Mer’s have approached him in hopes to become his apprentice but he’s ignored every single one. He’s too lazy to even try. Which many people think is selfish since he’s so skilled. Though he doesn’t care what they say.    

Life with you 

You will always find them not too far from you. Once they grew attached to you they began not moving too far from you. Sometimes they even drag you along with them so you can be near them. Belphegor is guilty of dragging you to his workplace more than Beelzebub, sometimes trying to trick you into keeping everyone busy so he can nap.

Beelzebub just brings you so he can keep an eye on you and give you hugs when he’s feeling a bit stressed. You can tell when he’s getting stressed because the longer part of his tail fin flicks back and forth. If you end up hugging him right when he starts he’ll end up holding you until you ask him to let you go. It always makes him smile if you do that. 

They are both picky about having you sleep in their nest. Belphegor will complain and try to guilt you into their nest if you try to sleep anywhere else and Beelzebub will give you puppy dog eyes. They won’t stop until you agree, and they both coil around you when sleeping.

Beelzebub is very protective of you since he knows how monstrous things can be outside the kingdom so whenever he gets worried about you he pulls you by the hips closer to him. Belphegor simply just gets jealous of others talking to you and will rest his chin on your shoulder and stare at whoever is talking to you. 

If you let him, Beelzebub will groom you. Brushing your hair is a favorite of his. He likes playing with it. If you were to return the favor by polishing his scales or even playing with his hair too he gets left in a great mood for the rest of the day. The smile he gets never leaves his face. 

Belphegor when he’s feeling up to it will show you the stars at night. He’ll let you float on him or next to him and gaze at the bright night sky, untouched by light pollution or blocked by trees. Just the sounds of the open ocean and the two of you. Sometimes he’ll end up like an otter and fall asleep while holding your hand so you don’t float away.

I feel like it would be improved if I kept in the fact that I legitimately thought for a solid minute that it could be a PEZ dispenser joke. Optimus slaps Megatron’s ass and a laser shoots out of Meg’s mouth, destroying their enemy not only physically but mentally cause I refuse to believe that there is anyone who is mentally prepared to see a warlord shoot lightning bullets like an earth candy dispenser

In a G1 AU where a MegOP relationship led to a tentative peace

Jazz: Hey, Prime! Can I borrow your favorite gun for a couple hours?

Optimus, while absentmindedly perusing a datapad: Sorry, he’s out doing a troop inspection, won’t be back for another few hours.

Jazz: …Who? No, I don’t think you heard me right - I asked if I could borrow your favorite gun?

Optimus: …Yes? I told you, Megatron’s not here. What did you need him for anyway?

Jazz: *slowly backs out of the room*

[blueskyscribe]

Transformers and My Little Pony are both finalists for the “Toy Hall of Fame”!  Go vote for one of them so freaking PEZ dispensers don’t win.

Overlord XANA powers list

Nigh-Omnipotence: due to the Celestialsapien DNA within the Omnitrix and the combined power of the Miraculous

Clairvoyance

Matter Transmutation

Size Alteration

Transformation

Dimensional Travel

Magic Negation

Energy Absorption

Drone Summoning: basically a living pez dispenser

Zombot infection

Technokinesis

Transferable AI: countless drones mean countless bodies

Hive mind: wireless command over their army

Unicron’s Body: a living mothership

Dark Energon infection

Weakness:

Corrupted data: as powerful as it is, XANA is still a machine. Unfortunately, no virus seems to be strong enough to pass its firewall.

However after witnessing a drone try to repair itself using a GIR, it spontaneously combusted. The same happened to the Zombot virus when attempting to control a Zim. They may be the only chance the multiverse has to survive.

The only obstacle now was to make sure they were in the same universe Overlord XANA was in. It doesn’t help that the AI has surrounded itself in its own pocket universe sphere. Meaning they’ll need to get close. UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE.

Oh dope
