My Critiques of Fashion Dreamer

A lot of my critiques of Fashion Dream are QOL stuff that was in Style Savvy that honestly seem puzzling that they are missing from Fashion Dreamer.

Namely a more robust filtering system. The game will as for Unique, Elegant and even Cute/Cool without showing an example of what that is and you are left to guess. Often getting it wrong.

Same with colors. The GAME knows that you didn't use beige because it didn't count for beige (even though it should have) so sorting out the "tan" from the "beige" would be helpful.

as would yellow from !yellow because the game is asking for yellow, and not counting it as yellow, and then giving you a yellow pallete with the yellow you used on it. Let me sort the "Not yellow" from the "Yellow" I don't even know what Unique even is. Even PriPara All Idol Perfect Stage (Switch) has a better filter system:

Color Brand Style So why did they get rid of it and leave it to guesswork? Another critique is the mobile game rates on having rare items drop from the Gacha machine. I don't even think lucky color affects it, which what is the reason for Lucky Color? ( I tried and not one items was above level 2) And the Gacha tickets are so rare!

Would be nice to also see what colors of an item you have or even if the custom item is just default Eve color.

ZOOM IN! This game needs a way to zoom in on item during a Lookit. Glasses are really hard to see the color of even if you use the Switch Zoom option. And/or having a color swatch to see what the item uses.

Tips are repeated in the menu. If it's already popped up, only show me new tips in the menu. No options for voice language. The Male voices in English sound like chipmunks. I also see a lot of localization.... grossness going on as well with changing the names. (It's the typical: Everything has to be white and American save the times we want them to be EXOTIC!) And then there is Incel Tercell... I mean Tenacious Tercell who won't take "no" for an answer.

BIOGRAPHY

Childhood:

Wren was born the youngest of three into a relatively happy family. She was closest with her father and was quickly spoiled by Albert and had decent relationships with her brothers, Brett and Tom. Early on, Wren discovered that she could manipulate people emotionally to get what she wanted.

Vivienne thought forced her daughter to perform in dance classes though the child found solace in ballet and tap dancing, in spite of her mother.

Adolescence:

Her childhood was rather lonely since she had difficulty keeping friends and cared little about going to school, though kept her grades up in hopes of going to school to pursue choreography for Broadway productions.

However, her father and brother were shot point blank during a hold up at the bank Albert worked at. Both were natural mediator's and attempted to talk down the shooter.

Tom went to college in Massachusetts and left Wren with their verbally abusive mother. During this time, she squirrelled away the inheritance to escape Vivienne as soon as she was of legal age.

Adulthood:

At 18, she got a job as a waitress at a themed diner where she met her closest friend and future roommate, Shelly. They got an apartment together and Wren burned through her inheritance for rent money while combating severe agoraphobia.

At 21, Wren got a job as a stripper at a truck stop off of Ventura. While ends were being met, the creeps that came in there inspired her to start swindling sleazy business men. She blackmailed unsuspecting marks of up to $1000 dollars and once was held at knife point because of it.

The first person she was intrigued by was Rick Masters, whom she met at one of Shelly's art shows. They began a sexual relationship as well as a polyamorous relationship with Rick's girlfriend, Bianca.

Wren became the target of FBI agent, Richard Chance, who had a personal vendetta against the counterfeiter. Remained faithful to Rick until his untimely death.

Late in Life:

Wren and Bianca split up amicably while the former moved to Boston to be reunited with her brother, Tom. She gave up crime and pursued smalltime choreography in local theater and lived in the city until she died.

Wren never married nor had children.

Coconut Curry

And y’all thought I was done posting Pokemon Curries! Nope! Delicious and savory Rich Curry isn’t the only curry the famed Galar region has to offer. For those with more tropical and exotic tastes, there’s the savory-sweet joy that is Coconut Curry. Now I could have gone almost any direction with this curry, as coconut can be found as an ingredient in a wide variety of curries the world over.

Judging by the color of the finished product, I decided to go with a sweet and sour Thai curry. Thai cuisine is notoriously zesty and aromatic in its use of tropical ingredients, fruits, and fresh herbs throughout its dishes. As it turns out, most Thai curries (such as Panang and Massaman) already incorporate coconut milk. For this recipe, I have decided to hybridize my personal favorites, sweet green curry and Massaman curry, utilizing a green curry paste and the veggies/meats one would ordinarily find in a Massaman curry. The result is tangy and rich dish guaranteed to satisfy. In my recipe, I used chicken thigh meat, but feel free to add whatever protein you’d like! This recipe serves 4 tenacious Trainers.

Tools:

Large Kitchen knife.

Liquid Measuring Cup/spoons

Solid measuring cups/spoons

Paring knife

Large plastic cooking spoon

Ingredients:  

1.10 lb  Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh (or whatever protein your heart desires)

15oz Can of Light Coconut Milk (or regular for an even richer curry)

1 Cup  String Beans, Chopped (buy ‘em fresh or find them frozen)

1 Medium Potato, Chopped (I highly recommend Yukon Gold potatoes)

3 Garlic Cloves, grated

1 Large Carrot

1/2 cup Chopped Cashews(unsalted)

2 Tbsp Green Curry Paste

1/2 Sweet Onion, Chopped

1 cup Broccoli, Frozen

1 cup Zucchini (roughly chopped)

1 tsp Dried Ginger Powder (or 1 Tbsp Grated Fresh Ginger)

1 tsp Sesame Oil

1 tsp Peanut or Canola Oil

1 tsp Fish Sauce

1 tsp corn starch

1/4 cup Water

1 tsp Paprika.

Fresh Parsley (for garnish)

Fresh Basil (for garnish)

Method:

If your string beans are fresh , wash and chop them.

Wash, peel, and cut your carrot into chunks.

Wash, peel, and cube your potato.

Cook potato cubes in microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Crush whole cashews and chop. 

Wash, chop and cut the onion half into slices. (Pro Tip: If you hate shedding onion tears, wear swimming goggles while chopping the onion) 

Wash and roughly chop zucchini:

Grate your garlic and/ or ginger.

Cut your protein into bite sized chunks (I made this recipe with chicken thighs). Heat oil in pot or large saucepan to medium heat. Add all vegetables and cook for 5 minutes. Add potatoes and cashews, cooking them for 1 and 1/2 minutes.

Mix the garlic and ginger, add to 1/4 cup water. Stir in your tsp of corn starch. Add lime juice and coconut milk to garlic and ginger  mixture. Add your protein to the vegetable mixture and cook until slightly crispy (if tofu) or until it turns color(if meat/shrimp), or until it becomes flaky (if fish).

Stir in the paprika. Stir in 1-3 tbsp of green curry paste (depending on how spicy you like your curry). Add the coconut milk mixture and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove curry from heat and garnish with basil and parsley. Serve over my fragrant Turmeric Rice (as seen in Rich Curry Recipe. I would highly recommend using basmati/jasmine rice for this one). Enjoy!

Not that I would ever want to distract you from writing, but I know how frustrating it is to feel like you’re getting nowhere. So, headcanon time, if you’re feeling it:

What can you tell me about Ezra and Clara in their childhoods? What kind of kids were they? What were their dreams? Pet peeves? Talents?

Take it away, love!

Hi lovely 🙋🏻‍♀️ hope you’re having a good night!!

It’s… not so much that I’m not getting anywhere, it’s more that I don’t want to go where I know I have to go, you know? I know you know.

Anyway! I’m SO DOWN for this side quest. Thank you for asking this! I may have to expand on this answer in the future (read: I’ve already added it to my “to write” list for when PoNR is over and I miss Ezra and Clara)

So there are a couple things that I used as framework for my idea of “childhood” in the Prospect/Point of No Return Universe:

No one- at least no one in The Fringe- has a last name, which leads me to believe that there is very little record keeping in this society, which likely means that kids fall through the cracks a lot whether it’s because of neglect, abuse, abandonment etc.

If The Green has a toxic atmosphere I can’t imagine that other planets/ moons/ worlds don’t also have toxic traits- I HC that Kamrea, for example, was settled by survivors of a toxic event that ruined their original planet, and that first group of settlers had a high rate of illness/death because of lingering effects of the event that they had to flee from

Even if Cee wasn’t the only child in the movie, the universe as it’s shown doesn’t seem very child friendly. It feels very lonely, very harsh.

OKAY SO NOW TO ACTUALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION YOU ASKED:

Ezra:

He and his brother Calvin grew up in The System (the universal term for all poorly funded social “care” systems in the PoNR universe). Their mother wasn’t cut out for parenthood and made the decision to give them up when they were three years old- yes, that means they’re fraternal twins (Calvin has much lighter hair, closer in color to the light patch in Ezra’s hair but not quite so platinum. He’s also a few inches taller and much more wiry than Ezra, but they have the same eyes.) They never knew their father, or more accurately, their father never knew about them. They spent most of their childhood bouncing from home to home and were never adopted, they just came of age and went out on their own.

None of this stopped Ezra from being just as curious and tenacious as we know him to be as an adult. He was the kid with a million questions. He took things apart just to see all the pieces that made them work. He wanted to learn anything he could absorb.

When he was a kid, he had to learn to embrace instability because it was all there was. So while some of the other kids he knew growing up may have dreamed of adventurous careers, he dreamed of having a place that he knew he could always come back to.

He was a schemer- but never maliciously. He mostly used his charm and vocabulary for good.

He also had a very good relationship with his brother and only lost touch with him within the last 5-8 years. A reunion wouldn’t be completely out of the question.

Clara:

Clara was born RIGHT after her parents settled on Kamrea, and for a long time it seemed like she was going to be an only child, but then almost ten years later Seth came along.

Their mother unfortunately suffered from the illness that drove their society to settle on Kamrea, and passed away when Seth was sun-ten, so the two of them were raised by their father after that, and he lived to a much older age, though he too eventually got sick.

Since there was such a big age gap, and because they lost their mother very young Clara was always very protective of her little brother. She definitely took on too much responsibility sometimes, and her father would have to remind her to have fun.

The Harvest Dinner was always her favorite childhood memory associated with a season or holiday, because it was always a time when the house was full of people and laughter and music and so much food. Winter solstice is a close second, though.

She has always wanted to travel, see the exotic places in the galaxy like Lao and The Ephrate, but until Ezra took her on that trip yo Bowsum, she’d never left Kamrea, but she had an iridescent travel poster for a resort on Brizo tacked up in her teen bedroom.

Clara never went to University- she realized she’d likely have to take the farm over from her father, and since she liked farming Thulian, she didn’t mind sacrificing the chance to go to school so that Seth could take that path instead.

GOSH I could keep going for far too long. It’s been far too long already. But you can COUNT on more about these two when they were younger, because like I said it’s already on the list.

Thank you so much for asking this!! Now speaking of kids there’s another kid in PoNR that needs my attention…

MWW Artwork of the Day (6/26/20) E. Irving Couse (American, 1866–1936) The Harvest Song  (c. 1920) Oil on canvas, 89.5 x 117.5 cm. Private Collection

"The Harvest Song," impressive in its scale and high-keyed palette, imbues the exotic life of the American Indian with a measure of the dignity and quiet spirituality that Couse appreciated in his subject -- qualities that inform the best of his art throughout his career. When Couse first ventured to depict the local American Indian in Michigan, "he experienced considerable trouble in allaying their many and strong superstitions. One of these beliefs was that if a person's likeness was transferred to canvas, or to any other medium, that person's soul would go with the likeness and the individual would die. His first model was an old squaw whom the tribe did not consider very valuable. She sat for half an hour with her hands over her face and it was thus that he painted her. When the rest of tribe found that she did not die or suffer any ill effects they willingly consented to model for him."  The models in "The Harvest Song" appear undisturbed by Couse's presence as they go about their ritual with quiet yet intent and fixed gazes. In this picture, we see Couse's sympathetic approach to his subjects as he sought to depict them most direct and honest way. "More than in any other aspect except color, Couse was interested in the authenticity of the Indian he was to paint. The more tenaciously they clung to the customs of their forebears, the more genuine they, and therefore the pictures of them, would be."

The Chronicles of the Dark One:  The Dark Curse

Chapter 22:  Proven Worth

He couldn't remember the last time that he'd touched someone who wanted to be touched. He couldn't remember the last time someone had taken it from him without wanting to pull away. He couldn't remember the last time he had wanted to touch someone and reveled in the fact that he felt it from his fingertips down to his toes. It was possible, he realized, that he might not ever have experienced such a thing. Milah had never truly wanted anything he'd had to offer for her, the women he'd met and had looked on him with favor since seeing the Dark One only had eyes for his power. The woman from the village, what was her name, Margene? Margie? Well, whoever she was, she was the only one that had ever come close, but he remembered their encounters then being far more about satisfying their own pleasures rather than one another. But Cora…

Cora was different. A different experience, a different breed of woman he'd met all together. It had been so long since he'd touched another being, another person who wanted it that he couldn't stop himself from running his hands everywhere he could think to, just to see how far she would let him go. He matched his hands with her own as she spun, guided them along arm and elbow and shoulder. He let his fingers linger on the exposed skin of her back and then finally did what he had been dying to do since he'd sat down next to her. He pressed his lips to her. He laid a gentle kiss along the curve of her neck as he traced his hands down and finally laid them at her waist, then continued making a path up along her neck and tracing up her jawline, and just below her ear.

When she stood up, it was a shock. He felt his body tense in preparation for a slap or a scold or an order to leave now that she knew what she was doing. But nothing came. She simply walked slowly over to one of the boards where the straw was laid out, retrieved a few more bundles, then walked back over to them to lay at their feet. She glanced up at him only once before sitting back down between his legs and shifting her weight so that she was even closer than she had been before she stood up. She made him ache in places he hadn't ached in a long time.

"Don't stop now, my dear," she whispered over her shoulder. "We've got a long way to go tonight."

A grin stretched across his face as she began to spin the wheel again, and he put his hands back to her waist and continued to bury his face in her neck.

She was feisty, as he'd guessed, and a quick learner. By the time the sun rose, she had not spun all the straw to gold, but she had turned enough of it that the King would be an arrogant fool to execute her. There was easily enough gold in this room to get the Kingdom out of debt and Cora out of the mill. It was impressive. It was as though her magic had been suppressed so long now that it was free, it poured out of her. And he fed off of it, registering how much more came from her than her mother and wondering how much more her own daughter would be capable of. And all the while he wondered how much more Cora would be capable of if they kept at their work.

But as the dawn began to lighten the chamber and the sky outside, he acknowledged that those were questions he would have to wait another time to get answers to. As much as it killed him to do it, by mornings light, he kissed her neck once more and rose.

"You're going?" she questioned as the wheel stopped and silence filled the tower. Oh, it wasn't by choice that he was leaving, but rather necessity. Sitting close to her made it difficult enough to leave her be and not take her back this very moment to his own castle to satisfy the need she'd awakened in him. But he'd been working on this plan to get back to his son for nearly a century, he couldn't take his eyes off that prize now just because staring at her breasts made him giddy.

"My services are no longer required," he explained turning back to her. "The deal was to teach you to spin straw into gold to spare your life. You now know how to spin straw to gold; your life will be spared. My job is done."

"But it's only just begun, don't you see?" she asked as she rose from her seat and moved toward him. "This power, this gift you've given me…you said there was more to it. Did you mean that?"

She was a tricky one. After spending the night glued to his chest he figured space would seem like a gift, but now she stood toe to toe with him again, her hands tracing up his chest until they were slung around the back of his neck and he felt it an unquestionable need to put his own hands over her waist and draw her even closer. Her eyes were sleepy, her lids were heavy, and he had the sense that if he urged her down into a pile of hay, she wouldn't fight it, but those same eyes were also serious and searching. They were waiting. Waiting for an answer to the question she'd posed. It was, he realized as she moved against him, a very easy answer.

"What is inside of you is powerful indeed," he stated honestly, feeling truly captivated for the first time in his life. "And you are capable of so much more than you've accomplished tonight."

"Then don't go," she suggested tightening her grip. "Teach me more. Teach me all you know."

He chuckled at such a request. It was made with as much seriousness as a Queen suggesting a new tax plan, not with the frivolity of so many girls he'd met over the years. She wasn't a child. She was a woman, smart and tenacious, but he couldn't teach her everything he knew. He had thousands of years worth of combined knowledge in his head, a mortal would never master it, and a mortal in her position had no need.

He pulled her closer, letting his fingers reach up again to touch the skin on her back. Toe to toe and now they were nearly nose to nose.

"You'll have no need for magic once you've wed your prince."

She let out a small laugh and rolled her eyes as if he'd only stated absurdity. "I'll have every need. I'm only a miller's daughter, remember. And since my life has been spared, I'm about to be entrusted to an entire Kingdom…a little magic might be exactly what I need…"

He wasn't sure who gave in first, only that it was a glorious question to wonder who wanted who more. Nonetheless he found that the little space there was between them suddenly vanished as Cora finally moved forward to match her mouth against his own. He had to adjust his weight for the extra push her body gave against his own, but he was quite pleased that all it really forced him to do was gather her up even closer, hold her tighter. To think he'd spent the night wondering about the last time he'd been touched; the last time he'd been kissed had been forever! But to be kissed by someone who seemed to desire him, by someone that he desired back and had every urge to claim in a way he never had was unfamiliar and thrilling, exotic in its own way. He could barely breathe, they could barely breath it seemed as all manner of rope and gold was forgotten and he let his hand drift down over her back to-

Behind them! Outside the door, there was a loud slam like a door being forced open. It forced them to break their kiss and stare at the door expectantly as footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance.

"I will still need you after this is done, dear Rumple," she muttered quickly, drawing his attention back to her. "Just not now!" With that, she kissed him again so that he could feel the steel of her power against his mouth and felt a fire erupt in his body like it never had with Milah before she pushed him away. "Stay close," she ordered.

"As you wish," he promised as the footsteps stopped at her door, and he heard the key turn in its lock.

He left the tower and reappeared in the ballroom, where he struggled to catch his breath following the dalliances of the night. He hadn't slept in decades, so how was it that standing in the ballroom behind a pillar he suddenly felt as though he'd spent the night dreaming? How was it that one girl, the daughter of a miller made his heart jump and his cock ache when he saw her. Those were emotions he'd long thought were dead to him, certainly after he'd killed Milah he'd never thought anything of those reactions. And yet, with Cora they were alive again. One night was all it had taken to stoke them into a flame once more, and for the first time in nearly a century, he found that it was not only his son by his side that he wanted…but Cora too. He wanted to keep her as close as she'd been a few seconds ago. And it wasn't for the baby that she was destined to deliver.

A murmuring from below distracted him. It pulled him out of his fantasies enough that he was able to move around the column and glance down into the ballroom. He'd been right. For most, it seemed as though the party had never stopped last night. They were still dressed in ball gowns, crowns, and the jewelry from the night before, though he did note a fair few who were in their dressing gowns and one or two women in their fancy attire, but with their hair down as though they'd dressed hastily. He felt a smile tug at the corner of his mouth as he wondered what color Cora's dressing gown would be, what her hair would look like free from it's knot.

And just like that, she was there. The guards ushered her down the steps in her red dress to where the King was sitting in his throne with Eva and his son at his sides. He watched as her eyes searched the crowd and remembered the promise he'd made to her. He'd promised to keep close, so that was what he would do. Dawning a hood he appeared again at the back of the crowd and made his way forward where he stared at Cora until she saw him. She smiled. It was small and unassuming, but when she tore her eyes off of him and back to the King, she held her head a little higher. What a gorgeous neck she had…

He watched with the crowd then as a soldier followed her down the stairs and leaned down to whisper something in the Kings ear. He reeled back from the man after a second. Staring at him with wide eyes and confusion before the soldier reached out to drop something small into his hand. It would have been too small to recognize if not for the way the golden straw winked in the early sunlight.

The soldier moved aside as the King rose to address them. "The Sorceress, it seems…speaks the truth," he proclaimed.

There were gasps and murmurings from the crowd, fearful noises that he didn't quite understand. She'd spun straw into gold, not babies into wigs. Their reaction was childish and ignorant. But Cora seemed unmoved by it. She only glanced around at the crowd her eyes lingering on him longer and longer each time they passed. He could see relief in her stoic figure. Her life was her own again. Her child would live to cast the curse and until that day came…perhaps they'd have some fun along the way. He nearly lost his head and giggled at such a thought. Where had that come from?

"Of course!" the King cried out suddenly over the noise. "There is but one last thing to prove…" Cora's eyes widened, and he felt her magic settle over the room as the crowd began to move. The spinning wheel, stool and all, had been brought forward. "Show us," the King demanded. "Show us this was no trick of the servants in the night."

"Servants in the night?!" Cora cried out at him. "As if they could produce this power and I could not! Showing you wasn't part of the deal!"

"And you've no right to speak to me, your King, in that tone," he argued back with a remarkably level tone. "For one wishing to marry my son, my pleasure should be your highest priority. I'm not asking much, just a token, merely a trifle of what you've already done is any indication. This is only a parlor trick."

"I'm no monkey."

"And you'll be nothing if you do not do as I say," he spat back. "Becoming royalty is within your reach, my dear…you've just one last step to take."

He held his breath as he watched her. She wasn't one to freely submit, but he'd seen her do it yesterday when her life depended on it. Now he only needed her to do it again as much as it pained her. She really was very close to changing her life for the better she had only to do this one last thing!

"Do it!" he growled under his breath. He was certain that no one had heard him, but Cora's eyes found his own at his words. Fiery as her gaze was, he nodded, urging her forward. She could do this. Though he knew she hated to be made a puppet, he knew that she could do what was requested of her. Fighting it too much only made her look weak, as if she couldn't do it.

Finally, she let out a sigh and stalked over to the wheel. She sat down before it and arranged her gown as she placed a bit of the straw they'd given her into the little cup. He watched as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them once more, they fell upon him, and once more a blaze of power flooded the room in an invisible rush only he could feel. Her foot pressed on the treadle. The wheel spun to life. Her fingers began to fly through the rhythm that she'd developed over the long hours that night and-

Straw to gold.

When her body stopped working, and he pried his eyes away from her face to look at the spools, he saw the unmistakable glimmer that meant she'd succeeded even under this pressure. She had potential…in more ways than one. He knew it, she knew it, and now they would too.

"Here!" she proclaimed, grabbing the gold thread and taking it to where the King sat upon his throne. "Here's your gold."

The King took it in his hands and examined it. "This…did you really do it?" he questioned with stupid wonder.

Cora smirked. "You saw it with your own eyes."

"You're just a miller's daughter," he sneered as he looked at her in disbelief.

Cora only squared her shoulders. "I am so much more," she stated with confidence.

"You've earned him!" the King finally proclaimed.

From there, he imagined it was like a fairy tale. As the King turned to show other royalty the golden thread, his son, Prince Henry, moved from where he had been standing, took Cora by the hand, and took a knee.

"Cora…if you will do me the honor of accepting my hand in marriage," he recited perfectly as the crowd watched with wide astonished eyes.

Her eyes were blank, unfeeling as she stared down at him and finally answered, "Yes."

And so, the miller's daughter was about to become a Princess. But before the Prince rose to his feet to offer her a kiss on the cheek, her gaze moved off of her prize and out to the place he stood among the crowd. Her blank expression hardened into pride.

Blu-ray Review: Mothra

After watching Mothra slay in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, I was eager to revisit the Queen of the Monsters’ earlier work. Mill Creek Entertainment has serendipitously released her original film (known in its native Japan as Mosura) on Blu-ray in Steelbook packaging. Godzilla's Ishirô Honda - who helmed numerous other Japanese monster movies, including King Kong vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, Rodan, and Destroy All Monsters - directs with numerous other Godzilla alumni on both sides of the camera.

Following their success with Godzilla in 1954, Japanese studio Toho was quick to dominate the kaiju (giant monster) market like Godzilla on Tokyo. Not only did they immediately begin churning out Godzilla sequels, but they also introduced several creatures in standalone films before crossing them over with King of the Monsters. The first came in 1956 in the form of Rodan, then 1958's Varan the Unbelievable, and finally Mothra in 1961. The latter went on to become widely popular, second on to Godzilla in its number of film appearances.

When atomic testing off the coast of the presumed-uninhabited Infant Island uncovers mysterious natives, ruthless capitalist Clark Nelson (Jerry Itô) charters a scientific expedition to the island. After trudging through a jungle of mutated vegetation, the crew discovers two tiny, identical women (Emi and Yumi Itô of the singing duo The Peanuts). After saving the crew from a life-threatening plant, the twin fairies plea for the cessation of nuclear testing. Seeing an opportunity to exploit them for a quick buck, Nelson later returns to abduct the small beauties.

Tenacious newspaper reporter Senichiro "Bulldog" Fukuda (Furankî Sakai, Shogun), photographer Michi Hanamura (Kyōko Kagawa, Tokyo Story), and scientist Shin'ichi Chûjô (Hiroshi Koizumi, The Return of Godzilla) investigate the crimes, but they’re unable to stop the twins from telepathically summoning the legendary monster known as Mothra to rescue them. Back on Infant Island, a 100-meter egg soon hatches, from which a massive caterpillar-like creature emerges and makes its way to Tokyo, taking down anything and anyone in its way.

Mothra began as a story written by three novelists - Shin'ichirô Nakamura, Takehiko Fukunaga, and Yoshie Hotta - with each one tackling one act of the story. Screenwriter Shin'ichi Sekizawa (King Kong vs. Godzilla) then streamlined the concept into a more cohesive script, but, like the bulk of early kaiju movies, it's heavy on dialogue with limited action until the finale. Mothra isn't born until halfway through the film, and that's only the larvae state; she doesn't emerge from the cocoon in her final imago form until the last 15 minutes.

The plot unsurprisingly borrows a lot from Godzilla's proven formula - including thinly-veiled, anti-nuclear social commentary - but it also utilizes elements from King Kong. Beyond the obvious parallels of strange creatures from exotic islands being captured and treated like circus animals, the monsters are both sympathetic. While Mothra lacks the emotional impact of Kong, its titular monster only causes harm as a means to protect itself and the fairies. Mothra also adds a rare feminine perspective to the kaiju oeuvre, supplemented by more fantastical and comedic components.

Mothra's city destruction - a highlight of any solo kaiju movie - isn't as exciting as that inflicted by bipedal monsters, as neither the larval nor the winged form has the ability to stomp or smash its surroundings. Although the puppetry is well-done and the intricate miniature work shows a great sense of scale, it lacks the charm of a person in a suit. True to its nature, the colorful, graceful creature is more welcoming than menacing.

Mothra’s Blu-ray debut includes both the original cut (in Japanese with English subtitles) and the re-edited American version (dubbed in English) that was released stateside the following year. The latter features minor cuts throughout the movie to run about 10 minutes shorter, which occasionally helps the pacing, but the original version is recommended. Regardless, the film looks as rich in high definition as its attractive Steelbook packaging, even if the seams in the special effects are more apparent with the vibrant picture.

Mill Creek’s Blu-ray ports over an audio commentary by Ishiro Honda: A Life in Film, from Godzilla to Kurosawa co-authors Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski, which previously appeared on Sony's DVD release of the film. The thorough track is obviously scripted, but the information is delivered swiftly, and the alternating voices break up the monotony. Special features are rounded out by a trailer, a teaser, and a gallery featuring promotional images and posters.

Mothra is available now on Steelbook Blu-ray via Mill Creek Entertainment.

Exotic Flowers - Caring For And Cultivating Them At Home

Learning about exotic flowers is important to do if you plan on planting or cultivating them. Having a solid knowledge can help you in creating great looking floral areas.

Some of the most popular exotic flowers are exotic roses. Multiflora roses are especially popular. These roses were introduced into America from Japan more than 150 years ago. They are sometimes used as highway dividers on interstates. One of the reasons for this is because they have been found to reduce the glare created by headlights.

This does not necessarily mean they are appreciated everywhere. They grow very tenaciously. This has caused a handful of states to declare them noxious weeds. Despite this, these are still nice, exotic flowers to have in your home, but watch them carefully because they grow so quickly and will take over the ecosystem if you don't keep them in check.

Other exotic flowers include anthodium. This is a heart-shaped, waxy kind of a flower. It is available in a variety of colors, including white, red and pink. Caring for these flowers comes with some special instructions. Among others, place these flowers in a vase and soak the flower head in room temperature water for around 20 minutes. To thrive these flowers must stay in warm temperatures not less than 55 degrees F.

The lotus is another flower that is one of many nice exotic flowers. It is also called Nelumbo. These kinds of exotic flowers are modern hybrids prized by many as spectacular. These are considered to be double roses approximately 10 inches in diameter.

They are interesting flowers because they change colors through their life spans. On the first day they are a rosy red color. On the second day, they are more of a rose-yellow mix. Finally, on the third day, the flower becomes a creamy yellow-white. Even though the flowers are about 10 inches, the leaves are a good bit longer. They are usually about 16-20 inches across. They are also quite tall. Most of these flowers are usually able to grow up to be around five feet tall.

The double lotus is a single white rose. These exotic flowers are considered by many to be among the most beautiful flowers in the world. White flowers with pink tips on them, the blooms themselves are about five inches across. The leaves are quite a bit longer and can grow to be more than 15 inches across.

When purchasing these or any other exotic flowers, make sure you get them fresh. Many of the flowers must be delivered within just a few days after they are first cut. If they are not delivered in time, there could be problems because they may not live for very long after you receive them.

If you plan to plant or cultivate exotic flowers, it is important to learn about all the things you need like soil and temperature so you can better their chances of surviving and thriving.

@hunterx700​ replied to your photoset:

Grabbed a few cruddy cell phone shots while I was…

If you don't mind me asking, why did you get a WC animal? Is it because of the unbelieveable pink? Not trying to be rude, just genuinely curious

That’s a valid question, not rude at all! :) 

I usually don’t support buying WC animals unless you REALLY know what you’re doing. Often they don’t thrive and will perish either due to parasites or to the stresses of acclimating to a captive life. This is most common with species like tree boas, small/arboreal colubrids, vine snakes, etc. 

Luckily, boa constrictors are pretty hardy and tend to adjust well. Also luckily, they don’t tend to harbor the super-exotic, tenacious parasites that you find in other species (looking at you, Gonyosoma lung worms!). My new girl has been treated inside and out, and is thoroughly free of anything nasty. I do intend to keep up with routine fecals to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. Because of her health history and my ability to attend to any necessary medical surprises, I felt comfortable bringing her into my collection. However, I wouldn’t have done so if she was fresh from the field and not established.

And yeah, I was definitely woo’d by her exceptional colors! It’s super difficult to find that level of saturation in the currently available lines of Suriname boas. There is also the added bonus of fresh genetics - all the color, without the generations of line breeding (aka inbreeding).

Tatianna

Tatianna…. this tiny little girl has a Titanic personality. Tatianna has heavenly thick fur a divine Russian blue in color. She has an exotic shaped face reminiscent of her sphinx heritage. Tatianna has titillating yellow green eyes reflecting her tender and tenacious personality. Tatianna may be petite but the way she attacks her toys you would swear she was a tank. Tatianna is like a thunderbird roaring though the air landing triumphantly on her toy. She theatrically totes her captured victim around for all to admire her hunting abilities. When she sees you Tatianna comically tosses and tumbles with such excitement you will find yourself laughing out loud. Tatianna tenderly curls beside you while her intoxicating purr melts your heart. To adopt this tender titanic Tatianna fill out an application by following the link below.

To Appease The Almighty Creator

No amount of wealth was enough to appease him; the boundless dungeons impregnated with glittering gold and silver; proved to be wholesomely futile, No amount of cloth was enough to appease him; the colossal fields of blossoming cotton; the mountain of tenacious jute lying limp in the warehouses; proved to be gruesomely useless, No amount of literature was enough to appease him; the gargantuan bundles of spell binding history; the innumerable number of scriptures portraying legendary times proved to be of simply no use, No amount of water was enough to appease him; the supremely colossal assemblage of salty ocean waters; every globule of liquid lying scattered on this earth; proved to be overwhelmingly miserly, No amount of sand was enough to appease him; the mammoth lands of the desert; the chunks of mud sprawled loosely all around the globe; proved to be infinitesimally incomplete to gain his attention, No amount of ostentation was enough to appease him; the fathomless battalion of mermaids embellished with exotic flower buds; the fabulous perfume emanating in abundance from their bodies proved to be a profoundly lost chance, No amount of light was enough to appease him; the tremendously unsurpassable blazing island of Sun; the enormous festoon of artificial silvery rays; proved a power too less to captivate his attention, No amount of cars were enough to appease him; the entire fleet of swanky automobiles lines royally in front of the palace; every motorized engine loitering on the trajectory of this planet; proved to be more minuscule than the red ant to grab his eyes, No amount of speech was enough to appease him; the most eloquently woven sentences; the most delectable of voices floating in every cranny of the earth; proved utterly hopeless to drift his intense concentration, No amount of plants were enough to appease him; the entire outgrowth of the vivaciously wild jungle; the unprecedentedly huge garden of roses enticing all with their fragrance; proved too wild to waver his Omnipotent nose, No amount of power was enough to appease him; the Herculean strength in the bulging muscles of the boxer; the astronomical resilience that the entire township put up in coalition; proved more diminutive than the frigid straw in front of his Omniscient aura, No amount of flattery was enough to appease him; the unsurpassable myriad of amicable phrases; infinite slaves kneeling down on his feet in meek obeisance; proved too insipid to conjure his attention, No amount of heroism was enough to appease him; the entire galaxy of brilliantly scintillating stars; ostentatiously dressed angels walking animatedly and in voluptuous twists on the ramp; proved to frivolous and morbid to evoke his tingling excitement, No amount of color was enough to appease him; the stupendously vivid shades of the rainbow; the billions of grandiloquent paintings embossed on the cave walls; proved too bland to match his irrefutably resplendent complexion, No amount of space was enough to appease him; the vast expanse of azure blue sky; the incomprehensible winds of euphoric atmosphere; proved just a tiny whisker in front of his invincible power, No amount of victory was enough to appease him; the brutal assassination of millions to become the emperor; winning the mightiest of battle that came in the way; proved too inconspicuous to lure his vision towards you, No amount of seniority was enough too appease him; the entire ministry spear headed by the esteemed president; the government ruling the entire world; proved too infinitesimal in front of his impregnable power, No amount of bloodshed was enough to appease him; the innumerable anecdotes of indiscriminate slaughter; the uncouth slaining of innocent heads in the quest of achieving territories beyond the greatest; proved an absolutely horrendous effort to try and make him wink, And you didn't even have to emulate a sagacious saint or meditate incessantly in order to imprison his attention; Infact all one needed to do was to live harmoniously in synergy with nature; propagate the virtue of immortal love to as far and distant as one could; spread the essence of equality in whomsoever one encountered; and then you would see it for yourself; that what the most biggest of things had failed to have an impact; just a small little word called 'Love', was enough in order to appease the Almighty Creator.
