07. 23. & 08 - 33. for runona (kiss), 30. for daro (kiss, i always want more of his family lore :*), 26. and 40. for vrupet (respectfully kiss and kneel)

ahem. hi. 🫣 ask meme in question.

07 — What OC really needs the mom friend around?

I’m going to interpret ‚mom friend‘ as the voice of reason, responsible and overly caring for this ask. To be completely honest, none of my characters really need such a friend. Some are more reckless than others of course, and perhaps too adventurous or prone to risking a lot, but they manage despite it all. Though, I guess, Kronos being (currently) all by herself and letting herself go a bit too hard on the parties and substances of questionable origin and legality to get over her breakup (but she swears she’s fine!), could use a mom friend. or just a friend in general. :“)

08 — Which OCs are an old married couple (literally or figuratively)?

Literally speaking - Carter and Erik. Going from annoyance to respect to friendship and then relationship and marriage, their bickering is quite frankly on another level. But they’re such a great team, like a well-oiled machine. The honorary mention is Najilah in this trio cause she may not be married to them, but she is part of the relationship and the dynamic. Figuratively… Xiame and Ataqo. 100%. Honorary mention to Rayamir and Qabai, who, despite not engaging in a relationship with each other due to their commitment to the code, still slip up sometimes and act like the most caring and in-love couple ever. It makes the padawans SICK.

23 — Which OCs have fought with each other the most?

Rayamir and Xoxai for sure. Rayamir was her master while she was with the Jedi, and after the death and loss of her co-padawan and brother figure Ophodi, she was absolutely inconsolable and blamed the incident on Rayamir. The arguments that followed dragged on for months until Xoxai eventually left to find Vrupet. But even before that, they had frequent disagreements, which Rayamir was able to resolve eventually. Coincidentally, I’d also name Terek/Ravis (@/gruvu’s) and Qabai/Kronos as OCs that have fought more than others.

33 — Would Runona be a good parent?

YES. 100%. She’d be a really cool mom. Very chill and fun, perhaps a bit too adamant on discipline and routine, but it’s out of love and to help her kids manage in the future. She’s a great storyteller and up for any physical activities, but also emotionally very intelligent and capable of adjusting to her kids’ needs.

30 — How does Daro get along with his parents?

He and his mother have a great relationship. They’ve been through a lot together, especially growing up in Rattatak. Even after he left to pick up work in the Empire and moved to Dromund Kaas, he stays in contact with her always. He hated his father. There was nothing respectable about him, he was abusive towards his mother and towards Daro. When Daro was old enough, he challenged his father to a duel and killed him in the process. He didn’t take any token or trophy from that fight, because to him, his father was useless and not a target worth remembering.*

*This plays into my headcanon for Rattataki that they like to adorn themselves with lots of jewelry and badges of honor; may it be of hunts, victorious fights, gifts from a lover, or family heirlooms.

26 — Does Vrupet have an easy or hard time making friends?

Allies? Sure. Real Friends? Well. I think any Imperial of high rank struggles with that one. Betrayal is frequent and you’re always wiser to keep everyone at a distance. She has her children, Bahash and Kai’vii, and that’s enough for her.

40 — Who motivates her?

Vrupet is selfish. She is motivated by revenge, proving a point, and her own power. She loves her kids, don’t get me wrong - but they don’t motivate her to make the Empire or the galaxy a better place or some bullshit like that. She just wants to see how far she can conquer the Empire, as a former slave, go down in history, and then leave it to fend for itself when she eventually passes.

Friendship Evolves: M3GAN Review

Pictured above is the “M3GAN” poster.

Image credit: Universal Pictures, BlumHouse Studios, Atomic Monster Productions

This review is going to be a little different because I usually review the theatrical version of the movies I cover, but for todays review I’m going to be reviewing the Unrated version of M3GAN as that was the version that was going to go to theaters before it got toned down to a PG-13 rating. I’m so excited that they released this version of M3GAN so soon after making $171.2 million in the global box office. So, lets get straight to the spoiler-free review.

M3GAN is a 2023 science fiction horror film directed by Gerard Johnstone, Written by Akela Cooper (Malignant (2021)), Produced by James Wan (who also directed Malignant (2021),and Jason Blum. The soundtrack is done by Anthony Willis. The cast involves Allison Williams as Gemma, Violet McGraw as Cady, Ronny Chieng as David, Amie Donald as M3GAN, Jenna Davis as the voice of M3GAN, Brian Jordan Alvarez as Cole, Jen Van Epps as Tess, Stephane Garneau-Monten as Kurt, Lori Dungey as Celia, Amy Usherwood as Lydia, Jack Cassidy as Brandon, Michael Saccente as Greg, Samson Chan-Boon as Officer Carter, Kira Josephson as Ava, Renee Lyons as Holly, and Arlo Green as Ryan.

The Plot:

M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a lifelike doll that’s programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by Gemma, a brilliant roboticist, M3GAN can listen, watch and learn as it plays the role of friend and teacher, playmate, and protector. When Gemma becomes the unexpected caretaker of her 8-year-old niece, she decides to give the girl an M3GAN prototype, a decision that leads to unimaginable consequences.

Positives:

One positive I have about the movie was the cast and the use of the character of M3GAN. An example of the use of M3GAN was the descent from a protective friend to an obsessive, psychotic, and cold-blooded killer…. who dances which had me laughing. I really liked the relationship of Cady and Gemma as they bond over time and how the bond they built pays off in the third act of the movie.

Pictured above is the M3GAN dance scene (which is already a meme)

The second positive I have about the movie is how they nailed the tone; it is campy but at the same time it is scary as hell considering the technology we have now. It also discusses the dangers of technology while not being too preachy.

 The third and final positive I have about the movie is the kills as it is bloody in the unrated version while kills in the PG-13 version happened offscreen and bloodless. The kills are pretty creative whether its with a power washer or a paper cutter, the movie (Unrated version) doesn’t hold back on the blood. While it’s not as bloody as “Terrifer 2” or the “Saw” franchise, some of the scenes are horrific.

    Negatives:

The first negative I have about this movie is that I wish we spent a little bit more time with evil M3GAN. Evil M3GAN shows up at the halfway point of the movie, but that’s alright as it pays off. The second negative I have is some of the acting was questionable at some points, however it’s okay as it matches the campiness of the movie.

My overall thoughts:

After watching the unrated version of M3GAN, I believe releasing the unrated version a month after the PG-13 was released was a smart move considering the success of the PG-13 version. In saying that however, I believe this is the version that should have been released in theaters. If you are into killer doll movies or movies that deals with the dangers of artificial intelligence, then this is the movie for you. I found the movie to be really entertaining, darkly funny, and has rewatch value. I can’t wait until 2025 to see M3GAN 2.0

Where to watch M3GAN?

M3GAN can be watched on Peacock, Digital retailers, Blu-Ray, and DVD coming out March 21st, 2023.

What did you think about M3GAN?

Thank you ______ ! And thank Beyoncé too 😅😅😅hah jk jk I ain’t scared of her . But uh I will say, check out Ally Carter and Jaguar Wright . They have firsthand witnessing of Bey & Jay Z doing things… a power Couple child predators who sold their souls for control, pinnacle of fame, & fake queen B hive status. Her incredible stage presence and undeniable dance moves made her an idol. But be weary citizens — shed cognitive dissonance & have an open mind that your fav celebrity is on awful crime. In due time, the Truth prevails… Though unfortunately, too many times the news comes out late ~ after the fact. A lot of sickos have died scot free. Such as, Jimmy Savile & friends (British military, politicians, police, & royalty).

If you haven’t watched Jason Whitlock interview Larry Johnson, he recounts a time at a Roca wear photoshoot after party with Bey Z involving kids. Naomi Campbhell was there ..and we all know (well not all, but if your doing your research) that she’s an alleged youth procurer. Which makes me think of N’Oprah.. Look at her track record (horrific South Africa school scandals) & associations with vile predators (John of god, P. diddler, Epstein, Weinstein, etc.)… It’s so sad when victims of SA, turn around and become abusers themselves. Innocent victim no more.

CHILDREN ARE NOT FOR SALE, NOR CAN THEY CONSENT. I could list more names… And more soon, shall come out. Idc it’s time to 🆘 because this Age of Light is exposing the real F’d up unfathomable frights. That is the highly organized network of: grooming, breeding, kidnapping, s*x trafficking, MK ultra enslaving, satanic ritual abuse (SRA), snuffing, cannibalizing adrenochrome, organ harvesting, cloning operations. These evil deeds occur off Earth (yes humans are delicious, energetically & meat fully to certain ETs) as well as off world planets/moons + ships/stations. Facilitated by black ops factions in military.

Back on Earth, there’s a meme going around picturing 3 diff sized boats: diddy is the smallest boat (tip of the iceberg status), middle size is Hanks/Epstein, largest is Podesta / Clinton (deep state) ‼️⚠️ Pizzagate is real, Frazzledrip is real… those wiki emails (that happen to align with FBI’s sheet of p3do lingo & symbols is real. The Finders (FBI) & mk ultra (CIA) are real. Lincoln Nebraska Boys town scandal is real. DUMBs/underground tunnels (containing victims & enabled easy transportation) is real. Laura silsby, Clinton crony tryna kidnap Haitian kids is real….list goes on …and on and on. It’s been since centuries, really, research: Elizabeth bathory, Vlad the impaler, blood libel…

Who?: Government contractors, sordid non profit/charities, diabolical religious leaders, pathetic p3do politicians, deviant doctors, teachers, business execs, royalty, entertainment, media, CPS, corrupt government (local/state/nation/world), police, etc etc… Pervs, who peddle selfish exploits, push for child s3xualization. From various walks of life, working all professions; from the top 1% elitists, to poverty stricken bottom feeders. A very S.A.D. (Spiritual Arrested Development) ubiquitous degenerates’ sickness...

Why do you think the world is so F’d up ? Why do so many Child celebrities lose their mind ? So many whistle blowers & witnesses unalived? It’s time to let the bad times die. Humanity must face, address, and properly penalize all perpetrators ~ on high ~ before we can enter the Golden Age ✴️ Satya Yuga, no lie. For the Vimana Venus fly — trap pin’ dem’ demons a$$es nigh 👺💩

I digress. Apologies for the tangent of triggers. 🤍🙏🧿 #triggerwarning

Trump Trolls Canada, Denmark, and Panama for Christmas but Behind the Fun He Makes Serious Points

Just because it is a season for peace on earth and goodwill towards men doesn't mean you can't mercilessly troll the vulnerable. Or, at least, that seems to be the philosophy of the Trump transition team. After taking a poke at Panama while announcing a new ambassador to that country (see Trump Doubles Down on Panama 'Ripping Off' America With New Ambassador Pick), Trump went for the trifecta.

Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in “repair” money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about “anything.” Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World. Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!…

For the record, there is no evidence of Chinese soldiers operating the Panama Canal, but given the fact that China is the single largest investor in Panama, one would have to be rather dense to think that investment doesn't come without some degree of direct supervision.

The offer to make Justin Trudeau governor of the new state of Canada, assume control of the Panama Canal, and purchase Greenland recreates the meme floating around earlier this week.

Donald Trump looking at a meme on his phone of the U.S. buying Canada, Greenland and Panama on Amazon pic.twitter.com/Ro0uTrdMQb— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) December 24, 2024

Like so much else Trump says, this comes with more than a grain of truth. 

Since returning the Panama Canal to Panamanian control in 1999, we've been asleep at the switch. One of the reasons we gave it up, other than the feckless Jimmy Carter and our unreasonable desire to be liked and admired by people who will always hate us, was that US aircraft carriers and supertankers could not negotiate that waterway. When that treaty was negotiated and ratified, no one was concerned about global supply chains or China buying the Panamanian government. The Carter-Torjillos Treaty cut the US out of any voice in managing the Canal, and, as we're seeing, that may have been a blunder.

The Arctic region has become of strategic interest to China. Ice-breaker technology has made transiting it feasible, and surveys indicate the Arctic sea floor may be rich in minerals. Greenland is not defensible by Denmark militarily or diplomatically as China is actively buying its way into a position of power inside Denmark's government and economy. An outright purchase or some sort of condominium with Denmark would make a lot of sense.

Canada is nearly as moribund as Mexico. It is also a target for China's "elite capture" strategy. 

There have been allegations and evidence of Chinese interference in Canadian elections, with reports suggesting that China has supported candidates perceived as favorable to Beijing, particularly in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. These activities include clandestine funding, influencing nomination contests, and targeting diaspora communities

Culturally and economically, it is difficult to see how Canada can continue on its present glide path without becoming a Chinese satellite state. There are probably as many Canadians who would jump at the chance to become US citizens and avail themselves of our political and economic freedom as there are who support the increasingly fascist rule of Trudeau and his allies.

The Holy Trinity

[sagesiren]

Also Black Hill, please! You got me excited fir that one by the pairing alone.

okay so I have no memory of writing this whatsoever, but I'm pretty sure Natasha's an art thief and Maria's an artist, and is also maybe undercover for SHIELD? clearly I went through an art thieves in marvel fic phase lol

anyway, this is all I have for it!

Maria walked over to the woman staring at her painting, and handed her a glass of wine from a passing waitress. "I've seen you at some other gallery openings," she noted, taking a sip of her drink. "You're either an enthusiast, or trying to rub elbows like me." The woman hummed, accepting the drink and pretending to take a sip. It would have been convincing, had Maria not done the same at countless events. "More an enthusiast," she answered, and tilted her head slightly, taking in the figures in the work. "All of your pieces suggest a narrative behind them." "I'll take that as a compliment." Maria smiled mildly, looking at the painting again. It wasn't one of her favorites, but the gallery was willing to show it, so here it was. "What do you see as the narrative behind this one?" The woman didn't answer for a moment, and Maria was half convinced she hadn't heard her over the noise of the other patrons shuffling around, but finally, softly, she said: "The colors say there's something holding these people back. They're a couple, or they want to be - you can see the desire in how they're leaning toward each other - but won't be for much longer. I'd say it was inspired by a break up." Maria simply raised her eyebrows. "You got all that in two minutes?" The woman's lips tugged into a smirk as she handed over the gallery's pamphlet on the artists and their work, open to the page about Maria.

"Ah. I should've read the bullshit they put in here about me." She took the pamphlet, and scanned the page that had her name and the title of her piece. The description said, almost word for word, what Natasha told her. "Since you already have my name it seems only fair I get yours." The woman appeared to take a real sip of her wine this time, and held out a hand. "Natasha."

[mrdrhenwardhykle]

If you're still doing that headcanon ask meme...Max Headroom?

Heck yeah!

Headcanon A:  realistic

((It's somewhat supported by the show, but I don't always go by the show)) Max pretty much thinks of everything and everyone as a television program, advertisement, series, merch, etc. This has somewhat caused him to start rivalries with random people, as he's afraid of anything overtopping him. However, because of this, he's not actually taking it personally and treats said rival as a longtime friend nonetheless.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Max bases his morality around the cola wars. I have no idea if I should elaborate; but say if you're allies, friends, or incredibly close to him and admit you like Pepsi, he'll literally stop talking to you and sabotage your every move.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

Because his name derives from the last thing he saw before the accident, he has nightmares/moments that repeat or reference the accident. ex: sometimes his shows will display the perspective of a man barreling into a sign while screaming bloody murder, the top of his head begins to bleed static, and he might change up conversations when motorcycles, Edison Carter, blipverts, or bounty hunters get mentioned. But really, he isn't that aware of it; and it comes off more subconsciously.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Okay. Here's the thing; you literally cannot have the 'Jekyll and Hyde' parallel, and have them as separate people, working on the same side of good, in the same room. In my head, Edison's whereabouts are somewhat ambiguous, as nobody is quite sure if he survived the accident or where he is now. Also, pre-show canon displays time-from-time that Edison and Max aren't aware of each other, so I also go by that (source; literally the '20 Minutes into the future' short film, and a interview commercial/bumper for Max's talk show) (I think that's what it was?)

Okay, hope that didn't disappoint. Thanks for asking, anon!

Fic rec meme: 5, 7

📆 A fic you’d re-read 10 years from now

Okay, I've read this fic three times already and I can't actually think of any other stories for which that is true, so I HAVE to rec it in this category.

The Dragon-King's Temple by Kryal - the most intricate and well thought out crossover story I've ever come across. It's Stargate SG-1 crossed with AtLA, where Zuko and Toph have gotten kidnapped off world by the Goa'uld. Luckily they get put in the same cells as the similarly kidnapped Samantha Carter and Janet Fraiser (who are in for quite a shock when these kids who can't seem to understand a word they're speaking start kicking Jaffa ass with... elemental powers? It's gotta be nano-tech, right?!). Meanwhile, Toph seems to have gotten that wish for a life changing field-trip with Zuko.

Through the spite of the spirits or plain rotten chance, a door that would have been better left untouched has opened. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part.

Even the Dragon-King's temple floods.

💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns by chancecraz - I'm sorry but this is literally the most amazing, ongoing Star Wars fix-it story around. And with Leia as the main character? My gosh Leia is written so absolutely beautifully. And so is Vader. And I just love it, your honor. For those who don't know, this is about the Leia from the night Han died being sent back and finding herself aboard the Death Star again, and immediately accidentally exposes herself to Vader as a time traveler AND Vader's daughter. That poor galaxy 😔😁.

I went to sleep on the worst day of my life and woke to find myself in the past on the second worst day of my life. As experiences go, I don’t recommend it.

[sparkliingdust]

Maybe I gotta rewatch it again...

The Red Skull summons a huge hydra octopus in What If. And, I feel like the series needed more context about that... It's apparent the Red Skull did not have the capability to control it, yet he wasted all of his resources for it to show up to the party and just attack everything in its sight.

I wish they gave her a more heroic sacrifice than pushing an octopus through a timey-wimey-space hole. I think Marvel kind of forgot that The Red Skulls' actions in TFA were on the same par as Hitlers, if not more so by creating an army of thousands, creating weapons with the tesseract energy, etc. His actions were almost usurping Hitlers or outbeating him to the point that it's acceptable to believe Steve crashing the plane with the bombs helped the allies win World War II. In What If, The Red Skull has the tesseract but he's basically an exiled Hitler-ite doing a science experiment...there's no real plausible end game to that strategy. Just that he kind of went crazy with power. The execution of her sacrifice also felt week in that Captain Carter did not follow it all the way through. Like it's clear in the animation, it was almost through the portal to the point it would've been destroyed and she didn't need to go with it. But when she came out the other side in The Avengers, and she said, they won the war...I was kind of like "*thor meme face* how did her actions do that exactly?"

IDK the whole octopus thing....was lost on me.
