Mars Attacks the World, 1950

I just woke up from a dream

Where you and I had to say goodbye

And I don't know what it all means

But since I survived, I realized

Wherever you go, that's where I'll follow

Nobody's promised tomorrow

So I'ma love you every night like it's the last night

Like it's the last night

If the world was ending

I'd wanna be next to you

86 years ago today Orson Welles terrified a nation.

The 1938 radio broadcast of The Mercury Theatre on the Air's War of The Worlds is my favorite version of the story.

I love the George Pal version from 1953 version. It's my favorite film adaptions.

Who among you has heard the radio broadcast? I've listen to it every year around this time since I first heard it when I was 10 years old. Counting the repeated listening and yearly Halloween tradition I've easily listen to it hundreds of times.

As far as the film version I imagine like myself. Most of you consider the 1953 film the best film adaptions.

If not I'd love to know which you love the most.

I don't think I'll ever talk about this anywhere else, but I like 2 believe that the mains twisted forms are based on phobias

- Vee is scopophobia (fear of eyes), because of her status as a gameshow host and her personality being boastful (see also her ads: "look at me!")

- Sprout is anthropophagusphobia (fear of cannibals), because of his whole thing about being a food AND a baker, I think it fits if he was just eating the dead bodies of toons in his twisted state

- Shelly is necrophobia (fear of dead things), because her whole thing is with history and I personally believe that the ichor rearranging her spine into dinosaur skeleton and her body is a completely limp entity from that ichor, implies that she is playing dead (or smt like that)

I don't have very many good ideas for what the rest of the mains would be, so feel free 2 drop some suggestions! (I'll also draw my twisted main designs eventually :3)

Mars Pluto 2.0, dangerous, real shady

If you haven’t seen the news the evidence that Astrology is real is everywhere. A Tesla was blown up in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas,then on Bourbon street in NOLA, an ISIS flag waving Islamic terrorist drives into a crowd and runs down a number of people, killing and injuring many. There were 4 plane crashes or incidents last week in the build up to January 3rd second opposition…

The Major Historical Events I Remember

What major historical events do you remember? Living through history shapes our perspectives, and certain events leave an indelible mark on our memory. Over the years, I’ve witnessed moments that not only influenced the world but also shaped my understanding of society and change. Here are a few major historical events that I vividly remember. The 9/11 Attacks (2001) The September 11 attacks…

when i say percy is one of the only people in the world who will stand up to annabeth or call her wrong, i do NOT mean she’s a horrible person and he calls her out for being one. allow me to write a long incorrect quote scene to show you what i actually mean:

*in some battle, post-heroes of olympus*

annabeth, fiercely in control and leaning over a large map: okay, here’s what’s gonna happen, everyone. we are going to evenly distribute our forces and deploy them in successive waves. we must avoid further division to ensure that each wave remains strong and concentrated on the central target. we are going to systematically weaken their core. once their primary fleet becomes depleted, we will expand our focus to engage secondary targets. we will defeat brute force by gradually eroding their strength over the course of several hours. anyone got a problem with that plan?

everyone in the strategy tent, including the smartest children of mars and athena:

annabeth: that’s what i thought. okay so-

percy: actually, i do

*everyone’s eyes widen in surprise*

annabeth, raising her eyebrows: what do you mean?

everyone: *backing away slowly in fear of her wrath*

percy: i get what you’re saying, and usually you’d be exactly right. but i know these guys better than you do, wise girl. i’ve actually been here and fought a couple of them before. yes, they are insanely physically strong creatures, but you’re overestimating their intelligence and positioning. if we do what you’re saying, they’ll just pick us off little by little. we need to be quick and dirty. force their hand

annabeth, pinching the bridge of her nose: percy, you’re talking about a full frontal assault on their strongest point. that’s reckless. we’ll be outnumbered and overwhelmed.

percy, stepping closer to the map and pointing to the terrain: not if we use their terrain, which i personally know. if we concentrate our forces here and here, we can create the illusion of a weaker center. they’re crazy strong, but much more arrogant than you’re assuming. so knowing them, they’ll all focus on our main assault, assume they have us outnumbered, and put all their energy into trying to punch through. but if we’ve got our best fighters hidden in the valleys, instead of holding back, we can hit them from both sides once they commit

annabeth, her brow furrowing as she considers percy’s plan: we’d be baiting them into a trap. they’d think they’re winning, but the second they overextend, we surround them. they won’t see it coming because of the way their ranks are arranged.

percy: exactly

annabeth: it’s based off the assumption of their own tactical shortcomings, but… it’s brilliant. come here and show me all the pathways, and i’ll plan for the side attacks. do you have any advice there?

percy: nope, i need you for that part

*them working seamlessly together as everyone else stands around in shock*
