#live action timeline

[unkindhands]

[mejkosmos]

[yawnzshit]

[an--inconvenience]

I am not a 'fan of the mcu', I'm a fan of the version of the mcu that I carefully crafted in my brain while lying awake at night wondering what the mcu would've been like if the writers gave a shit. Common misconception

[parachutingkitten]

Man. I thought we had at least another five years before we got a live action movie announcement...

[lordartsy]

i remember seeing someone bring up adding Blue Beetle to the League, and a comment saying he belongs more with either the Titans or Young Justice. wonder how that'd go 🤔

[unassumingheroic]

I can’t believe I’m actually getting to witness live-action Percabeth and Hiccstrid like I thought I’d have to share that experience when I got grandkids or something

Stobotnik: "As the Song Says" pt 2.

(again apologies for any inconsistency, this is at it's core an AU set after the second movie) Part one is here

   He hadn't noticed it before but it struck him as he joined Stone in the small dining nook that his assistant looked exhausted. He acted his usual self, invested in anything and everything the doctor spoke about during the meal, but the dark circles under his eyes and the hint of his cheeks beginning to sink in were more apparent now that Robotnik bothered to look.    The two were quiet towards the end of dinner, until Robotnik spoke.      "So, Stone, you seemed preoccupied earlier. Anything I should know about?" A low, sharp inhale, the clink of the fork hitting the plate as fingers trembled slightly. In the blink of an eye Stone regained his composure.      "Nothing to worry about, sir." he said smoothly. "Just a mild headache."      "I see. Anything else?" A tremor again. "It's really nothing, sir. I wouldn't want to bore you with my health."    So this is how we're playing it, Robotnik's eyes narrowed in annoyance. Fine, he would dance this dance.      "As long as it doesn't interfere with your duties." He decided to take one more shot. "Because if it does, I'll find out."    He looked up and their eyes met. There it was. The briefest hint of guilt as the agent returned his boss's gaze. Resisting the burning urge to reveal he knew the truth, the scientist let the subject go.

   Returning to the lab, he settled in and began to type, his eyes darting from screen to screen as page after page of information came up. Losing track of time, he was startled as the door opened.      "Sir?" A ripple of tension shot up Robotnik's spine as he tapped a fingertip to hide what was on the screens.      "What is it?" he nearly growled.      "It's eleven, sir. I was just wondering if you were staying up or...?"      "I'll be up, I have things to attend to." Before Stone could offer to stay up with him, Robotnik waved a hand. "You are excused. I don't need an exhausted assistant on my hands right now."    Stone gave a quiet 'yes, sir,' before slipping out. Moments later the door opened again and there was a soft clink. The agent had placed a mug of steaming hot cocoa beside the doctor. Pure Belgian White chocolate with a dusting of lavender powder and just a light drizzle of honey.      "Goodnight, doctor."    A low hum was the reply and Stone quietly left. Reaching over, Robotnik lifted the mug and sipped at it, pausing as the flavors mixed on his tongue. He found himself briefly thinking back to one afternoon in winter, a year or so after Stone had been assigned to him...

     "Agent, why is your drink covered in purple dust?"      "Oh! It's a little something I've been working on. I think I finally got the recipe right." It took very little prompting from Stone to get his boss to try the new drink. Musing over the taste, Robotnik hummed.      "You surprise me, Stone. Keep this recipe, I believe I would enjoy this once in a while before bed."

   It had been the first time he had truly complemented the other, and he had secretly enjoyed the look of pure delight on his assistant's face as he registered the praise. His trip down memory lane was brought to a jarring close as the screen in front of him flashed with a beep.    Final result for potential survival rate: 0%    The mug hit the desk, some of the contents spilling over. Growling to himself over the mess and the lack of results, he pulled up the search parameters and began to edit them before starting it again. As the new search ran, Robotnik considered something. Opening another program, he began typing.    The clock shifted sleepily to three in the morning as Robotnik finished his work and tapped his fingertip against the table. A picture popped up on the main screen as one of his smallest Badniks activated and flew over to him, the camera within the fingernail sized robot was now focused on his face.      "Go on, you've got a job to do."    With a beep of understanding the little device shot out of the room. Robotnik watched the screen as it used the air vents to sneak into Stone's room and the night vision clicked on. It hovered over the sleeping agent for a moment and Robotnik noticed the beads of sweat along Stone's forehead accompanied by the sound of distressed breathing. Had his agent been hiding pain this whole time? He found himself leaning in as he stared at the screen.      "Go on." he urged. As if hearing him, the tiniest Badnik moved and landed behind Stone's exposed ear. A pinch to the skin, a snort from the sleeping figure, and a new panel opened on Robotnik's screen. He was now looking at a live feed of Stone's vital signs.      "Good baby," he coo'd as the Badnik floated back in and over to him. Beeping happily it returned to resting on his desk and watching as he began to type.      "I swear you Badniks somehow have personalities." he muttered, eyeing the little bot. It beeped once as if to agree. Shaking his head in disbelief, the scientist turned back to the screen and began to read.      "Elevated temp, oxygen is steady, pulse elevated indicating physical distress." he contemplated this.    If Stone was already showing signs of discomfort and fever, that meant... A hiss as a string of foul language left his lips. He didn't have much time.

To be continued...

Thinking about Shao Yuanyuan and her wildcard potential and it hit me today... just how much does she know? Does she live in a time loop similar to Lu Guang or does she hop in and out of the past like Cheng Xiaoshi? Does she know that Cheng Xiaoshi also has a death node?

It suddenly occurred to me to that the Shao Yuanyuan we likely saw during the fire in Ep 4, was either a time leaping SYY from the future or at least one who had information from her future self to know to be in Bridon at this point in time and also a Shao Yuanyuan who might have just realized Cheng Xiaoshi had awakened his own powers.

Given her meeting with Cheng Xiaoshi in Ep 6 where she acts like Cheng Xiaoshi should be aware of how this all works, I suspect that it's because the version of Shao Yuanyuan from Ep 4 arranged this meeting because she encountered Cheng Xiaoshi during the fire and thus knew he would show up in Bridon and go searching for them through Wang Qing. She needed to set up that meeting so she could tell Cheng Xiaoshi face to face not to pursue her anymore (and make things more complicated).

I also think that was her second attempt at doing so - the first being to go back years earlier to tell the Qiao family not to let him go to Bridon. But the future refused to change so she found another opportunity to try again.

And based on Lu Guang's comments it sounds like she would have also failed again in the original timeline. It's not clear how her conversation with CXS went last time (if there was one) but at the very least she might not have had time to make CXS promise not to chase after her anymore, and that would have likely sealed his fate. If anything, a sudden interrupted meeting like that might have even encouraged him further.

And this is all coming from a Shao Yuanyuan from an unknown point in the future...

Anyway this is a lot of words to say where in time is Shao Yuanyuan?

And what the heck does the timeline look like from her perspective?

Okay I feel better about the Ninjago live action after seeing the list of possible directors and that they brought Hageman bros back

[weregonnabecoolbeans]

I see people say they want a genuine live action clone wars and like yes in theory that would be awsome but…

What i would love is if they just un-cancelled the animated clone wars and just gave us a bunch of new arcs

And then have a bunch of live action clone wars flashbacks in Ahsoka

[thegirlsarethriving]

[periodicallyaperson]

I can’t see the future but I can see timelines and they’re all funky weird.

If I was a braver man I would draw Mr. L with gauges however it's already a little messed up that Luigi would wake up with piercings in the underwhere (cause my idea behind it is 1) Yes Mimi pierces his ears it's up to you if she pressured him to or not 2) Luigi always wanted to pierce his ears but didn't) but piercings are really personal things and I don't want something that permanent to be forced on him while he's brainwashed fjdbdbsf. Though there's always going to be scarring regardless of the piercing, stretching your ears is a bit harder to reverse (especially since once you go past a certain size you can't undo that (I think (my roommates know more about this than me))) and I genuinely don't think Luigi would want to stretch his ears so I wouldn't want to have a Mr. L thing be as permanent as that. Long hair and stubble can be cut. Luigi likes keeping his lobes pierced and the scarring from a small piercing on your ear isn't a huge deal. Gauges kind of are.
