I’m getting up early to go train with my old Taekwondo nationals team mate and maybe our instructor to get on track for our Black belt. My mentor recently died so the school is being taken over by his Master before him and that Master wants to get us our black belts since we’ve been Bodans for like 6 years XD but since covid I fell out of my peak condition and so long story short this is gonna S U C K. I got nauseous during a WARMUP on Thursday 💀 and I threw up for the first time working out in years two months ago after doing TWO DRILLS. It’s pathetic. Ima look pathetic, but I have to start sometime 😭 I just hope I don’t get sick again

My dumb ass used to think SpongeBob went to shit after season three without realizing that I love a ton of episodes from season four and many from season five. I mistakenly thought a lot of episodes from season four were actually from season three.

King Kong

Portrayed by Ralph Macchio

Background: Apex's search for the Isle of the Skull was a long and arduous one, analyzing folk tales, myths, and survivor accounts spanning continents and oceans. As expected from looking at such widely different sources separated by distance and time, there were many inconsistencies between the supposed accounts of the island, such as its location. But there was one thread most of them had in common: The so-called lord of this Nightmare Realm. South Pacific legends speak of it as "The King of the South Seas", a true force of nature that even the most vicious of demons cower in fear of. Denham's notes give a bit more clarity on the appearance of this giant, as it was the same beast that supposedly saved what remained of his crew from the man-eating armored saurians. He described it as a titanic ape-like creature, its body covered in skeletal-like armor and a thick covering of fur. While he did not christen the creature with any specific name, he did usually described it in his notes as "The Eighth Wonder of the World", a living god unparalleled in his strength and ferocity by all the beasts of the Earth or so he says anyway. More information would be gleaned from this mysterious entity after the discovery of the Cosmic Mountains in 1961, ruled over by its own pantheon of beasts worshipped by humans known as the Ailenas. The Ailenas speak of the Skull Isles in their myths, though referred to them by its more ancient name of Kaito, a land in constant flux and turmoil and inhabited by the most terrifying creations of nature. Under normal circumstances, such a pantheon would have crumbled long ago from the sheer destruction such an ecological nightmare could inflict upon the island and its inhabitants. But fortunately for both the island and the rest of the world, there is an entity that ensures such a disaster does not come to be. To the Ailenas he is known as the Mountain that Thunders Death, the ruler of the Nightmare Realm. Considered a creature equal in power to the King himself, this thundering behemoth ensures the numerous monstrosities that dwell upon the Isles are kept in check, thereby bringing some semblance of serenity to the living horror show that is Kaito. But as the war of the monster raged on, things grew more and more desperate for him and his kind, as the giant apes battled the great saurians, beasts they have been locked in a perpetual ancient rivalry dozens of millions of years in the making.As the war drew to a close, a great cataclysm hit Kaito, dismantling the last stronghold of the Southern Empire and crippled the numbers of the island's gods, including the brethren of its thundering ruler. Not much else is known by the Ailenas regarding what has happened on the Isles since then, its remote location and their mainly isolationist mentality preventing much travel beyond their region's borders. But what is certain is that even after all these years, even after the titanic catastrophe of Kaito, the king of the Isles continues to reign with a mighty fist, sworn the solemn duty of protecting his home from any and all threats, even if it comes at the cost of his own life...

A giant gorilla-like ape (to which his species is related) that lives in the Atlantic Ocean, on a populated island called Skull Islland (located between South America and Africa and this island being a gateway to the Hollow Earth). A haven for the megafauna of Earth's past, large or small, thriving undetected by human contact, prehistoric beasts dominate the landscape, the island is kept in check. by their guardian gods, some who are virtuous and others who are destructive, but one god stood above the rest, ruling the island, none other than... King Kong

Considered by the natives as their protective king, it is the dominant life form on the island. Leading the Virtuous Gods, consisting of himself, along with Ajabront, Angror the Invincinator, Baragon, Jyarumu, Chondar, Behemoth, Kinadga, Hyupran, and Nyokembo (among others), keeping the nature of things at peace. Later, he would be seen in the ring with another kaiju... What is a King before a God?

Though not quite as legendary as Godzilla, it is impressive that King Kong has managed to eke out such a reputation for himself at a relatively young age. The giant ape has spent almost his entire life on Skull Island, and has guarded the isle for many, many decades. 

Among the most intelligent of the Kaiju, Kong will fashion armor and weapons from fallen foes. Kong's primary weapon is a massive sword created from the skull of an as yet undiscovered kaiju species. Kong rules over the remote skull island and defends his home ferociously. In combat Kong is know to strategize and use the environment to his advantage.  

King Kong is, understandably, still very much haunted by his past. He holds a lot of angst and sorrow within him even now, but it's of course justified: not only did Kong witness his parents literally being torn apart limb from limb, but, according to the Iwi, he had to look all over the island for the pieces of his parents to bury them in the Boneyard. Due to this inner anger and frustration, Kong prefers to be alone, though still has a few close friends including Gorosaurus. That said, Kong is far from just a rage-fuelled warrior: his intelligence has made him one of the most complex and, in a way, astounding of all Kaiju. He has a great appreciation for natural beauty, and is known to stop his near-constant patrols at night to witness the Aurora Australis. Indeed, Kong is greatly altruistic, having given up his life and any form of indulgence to be Skull Island's king. He will even help outsiders so long as they are no threat. However, it should always be remembered that if you harm Skull Island you will incur the wrath of its king.

i demand a recount of the 2006 "best day ever" spongebob marathon top 100 episodes vote because who filled the top 12 almost exclusively with season 4

People claim that “democracy” is real, yet when I was a kid I remember Nickelodeon claimed that “Karate Island” was voted the best episode of Spongebob, when “Band Geeks” is right there.

[eiilese]

what if the strawhats had different roles on the ship⁉️ i swapped everyone’s roles except for luffy because i can’t imagine him being anything but the captain

these are loose redesigns since their canon designs don’t really read as their roles all that much to begin with. some extra doodles and ideas for this in the cut !!

nami, vice captain: i took a lot of inspiration from her beta design!! canon nami already bosses everyone around so she fits right into the role. she wields an extendable staff (usopp still makes it for her); she lost her arm over the time-skip like how zoro lost his eye. i LOVE drawing cargo pants and boots, so she ended up with a sorta bottom-heavy design. frankly it’s probably not her style but i like how she looks

zoro, the cook: my foolproof logic is zoro uses swords = good with knives. he does not use katanas to cut produce however, just normal knives. i was trying to go for “sweaty ramen guy” with the towel around his neck. the majority of the shit he cooks would probably be drowned in alcohol. he also wears his bandana the majority of the time now!! it completes the ramen guy look

sanji, the sniper: i also took inspiration from his beta design for this!!! he has guns!! and perfect aim of course. i was going for more of a mafioso look so germa 66 would be like, a mafia organization on top of all the other villain shit they already do. he has two guns but i didn’t draw a holster bc that’s annoying🤞 he lights his cigarettes with his guns. how would that even work? don’t ask me

usopp, the navigator: his artistic talent lends itself to creating perfect maps! he also still tinkers, making nami’s staff as well as having a specialty for compasses. he uses a slingshot still (no perfect aim we gotta nerf him) and shoots weather-related projectiles. his goggles serve as binoculars, they can zoom to several different distances. i drew him in his zou outfit purely bc it’s my favorite one

chopper, the helmsman: he would predominately use heavy point while maneuvering the wheel. i changed his hat up to look more like a sailor’s cap, with an anchor symbol instead of an X. to be honest i don’t have much else bc helmsman doesn’t bring much to my mind :(

franky, the musician: ROCK N ROLL BABY YEEAHHH come on his stage presence is unmatched. he’s still a cyborg, he has instruments all over his body like apoo does but they were installed manually. his personality changes depending on what genre he’s playing but rock n roll is his default B) (ex. classical calls for a refined gentleman)

robin, the shipwright: her devil fruit gives her as many helpful hands as she needs! she developed nami’s arm (definitely installed some random shit she did Not ask for). she has a robot mecha that she’s able to pilot all by herself using clones. i changed her orange sunglasses to goggle eyewear

brook, the doctor: the irony of being nursed back to health by a literal skeleton 💀the irony of being the doctor of the rumbar pirates yet being the only survivor, saving no one from the poison 💀 i went for a plague doctor look! IM VERY HAPPY WITH HOW HE TURNED OUT i was really tempted to give him the plague mask too, but i feel that would’ve changed his appearance too much compared to the others

jinbei, the archaeologist: the shape of this man demands a little pair of round glasses on his face. he’s an intellectual i tell you!!! plus still a fishman karate master. the history of joyboy and fishman island being so intertwined is how he developed an interest in history

[relicfragment]

Looking at the episodes of SpongeBob Season 4 and I can confidently say that SpongeBob's falloff cannot be ascribed to a single season. 'Everything after the movie is bad!' No! The first 9 episodes of Season 4 are genuine classics! And then Ghost Host/Chimps Ahoy came about and that's what marked the decline.

The Hall of Amazing Men: Branscombe Richmond

A new admission to the Hall of Amazing Men, Branscombe Richmond is best known for being an actor where he played Lorenzo Lamas’s friend, the Lando Calrissian-like sharpie Dallas Sixkiller, or as Moki, the smartmouth Hawaiian friend of Magnum, P.I. But behind the camera, as a tough as nails stunt coordinator and stuntman, Branscombe Richmond created and developed nearly all the eccentric and eye catching events in the TV series American Gladiators: Atlasphere (the one where people roll around in giant balls), Powerball (done simply because they needed a sport that could be created cheaply because they ran out of money for development) and all the various ones where musclemen shoot tennis balls at people, and where you have to avoid muscular women by jumping on a bungee cord. I don’t think it would be inaccurate to say that with his development (on a really thin budget, no less) of memorable, eye catching sports and events that, with his stunt training he knew could be done safely enough so that even kinda-sporty housewives from Illinois could do them without injury, Branscombe Richmond created American Gladiators. He turned an idea into a realized, practical show that can be done – I don’t think it is inaccurate at all to call him the uncredited creator of American Gladiators.

In his career as a stuntman, Branscombe Richmond, meanwhile, is another one of those faces that shows up over and over playing evil henchmen, members of motorcycle gangs in rough biker bars the hero brawls with karate (if there’s ever a rough scummy biker bar out there, you can bet Branscomb Richmond is in it), and hordes of nunchaku wielding ninja, to the point where if you are, like me, an 80s-90s action aficionado, his face makes you go “oh, hey…it’s that guy!” Can you really call yourself an action fan if you don’t start identifying “your” evil henchman? His IMDB page is mostly roles that are named “Gunman In Jeep,” "Biker #2," and "Terrifying Clown."  

If there is a Evil Henchman Hall of Fame, Brandscomb is there alongside the great Al Leung. You can spot his face as a henchman in Never Too Young to Die (with John Stamos), Action Jackson, Batman Returns, the Hidden, Iron Eagle III: Aces High (objectively the best one as it had Ms. Olympia Rachel McLish), and Star Trek III, where he was a Klingon henchman to Christopher Lloyd who almost got disintegrated and had to feed his disgusting slimy monster dog-salamander. It's comforting to know the profession of henching is alive and well 300 years in the future.

On television, Brandscomb Richmond was on every single cool show from the 80s: Tales of the Gold Monkey, TJ Hooker, Manimal, Airwolf, Knight Rider, Baywatch, and many times attempted to kill the A-Team, especially from motorcycles. Like Chiba, another stuntman-actor, Branscombe Richmond specialized in motorcycle stunts, and he was admitted to the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2003. He is, to this day, the guest of honor at whatever motorcycle rally your embarrassing hick uncle attends. I have no evidence for this, but I have long suspected that the reason Richmond was hired to be Dallas Sixkiller in Renegade with Lorenzo Lamas was so they could get his unpaid advice on motorcycle stunts (much like how I have always suspected Warner Brothers hired Ben Affleck as Batman as a "backdoor" way to ask him to direct).

He also played the older brother of the Rock in the Scorpion King, which is an interesting choice because despite getting roles as American Indians (and being beloved in the American Indian community, who, as a whole, deeply love characters who are smartmouth, wiseass sharpies/scammers who get one over on everyone), Brandscome Richmond is in fact, like the Rock, of Hawaiian origin. His first major role in television, that of Moki in Magnum PI, was in fact Hawaiian.

Why are there so many Pacific Islanders in stuntman careers, MMA, and professional wrestling? The answer is surprisingly pedestrian. It’s because Pacific Islanders are a sizable ethnic population in Los Angeles, where movies and television are made, so if you need someone in L.A. that are tough as nails and can take a hit, a Samoan or Hawaiian is a good choice.

Happily, Branscombe Richmond is alive and well, mostly retired as a traditionally large Hawaiian family patriarch. He does occasional voice work, as Gibraltar in Apex Legends, a character physically based on him as well. I imagine he is relieved to be working in showbiz and no longer risking brain damage to do it.
