I need to marinate more thoughts for this but. okay so gravity falls au. partially inspired by this. fiddleford has the memory gun and he's This Close to using it on himself to erase what he saw in the portal. he pauses. he thinks, just because I forget doesn't mean stanford will stop building the portal. he thinks it's all or nothing. he goes to stanford's shack in the woods. he sneaks in through the side door and sees stanford sleeping on the couch. it's dark outside. the lights are out. fiddleford can barely make out the shape of his former-friend's body. fiddleford looks at Stanford one last time. he types into the memory gun, Stanford Pines. he points the gun. half a second before he fires, Stanford stirs, as if sensing the danger he is in. he manages to get out "who-" before fiddleford, panicking, pulls the trigger before he can chicken out completely.

stanley wakes up on a couch he doesn't remember falling asleep in, with a terrified looking man standing over him, holding a glowing gun, and thinks this is one hell of a situation i've gotten myself into

Top five time travel movies/books! :D

See, the trouble is that while I love time travel as a concept, I haven't actually explored the genre that much. I haven't watched/read most of the time travel stories out there, sometimes because I just haven't gotten to it, other times because I'm very picky about content, other times because most of the time travel stories I run across are either "we're a bureaucratic agency dedicated to policing time travel" or "oh, no, what if we change history?" or "I fell in love with a hunky Highlander", none of which are the parts of time travel stories that interest me.

The most accurate version of this list would be a list of Doctor Who episodes (and maybe some Star Trek ones), but you specified movies and books, which is going to make this a much more difficult list to create.

The Day of the Doctor: Haha, I cheated, because Day of the Doctor was released in theaters, which makes it a movie! (So I can use it as a stand-in for all the Doctor Who episodes that are my favorite time travel stories). Thankfully, it's a fantastic time travel story and one of my favorites. It's a genius blend of both "stable timeline" and "changeable timeline" mechanics. Three different interweaving timelines. References to A Christmas Carol. Changing major events in the show's past without changing the timeline that resulted from them at all. A rejection once and for all of the "ends justify the means" mindset that had lingered over the reboot for too long. A masterpiece.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens: It's the classic Christmas story for a reason--and one of those reasons is the time travel. Going with Scrooge across decades of his own life and watching him undergo character development from that is a great use of time travel. (And there happens to be a great Doctor Who version, too!)

Star Trek: First Contact: It's fun when you get characters traveling from the future to a different time that's also in the future. Love all the worldbuilding details of these characters interacting with their past/our fictional future, and it's a pretty good story.

Shadowhand by Anne Elisabeth Stengl: The Tales of Goldstone Wood series has a structure unlike any I've ever seen in fantasy, and this book is the reason. The first three books in the series are in chronological order. The next two books are prequels that take place like a thousand years earlier. This book, the sixth, involves characters from the later time period time-traveling to meet characters from the earlier time period, and getting swept up in a legend that they've known since childhood. I remember very little about the book beyond that, but it's such a cool concept (with an unforgettable ending moment) that I have to put it on the list.

Love Strikes Twice: It's one of the very rare Hallmark movies that's actually a decent movie by normal movie standards, so I have to give it credit. Instead of the usual boring time travel plot of "oh no, what if we change history?", we get someone who's trying to change history, who does change history, and it's a good thing. The time travel mechanics surrounding that make no sense, but who cares? It's a fun story with an engaging cast, legitimately funny jokes, a sweet romance, and a solid plot.

So, do all diffused corn snakes have to have patternless sides or is it another gene that can have levels of expression? I'm buying a pewter corn hatchling soon but it has those patterns. And another completely unrelated question (didn't want to send 2 asks) but lets say one snake is het for charcoal and the other snake its being paired to is not het for charcoal. Does that het pass on to the hatchling at all?

Hello friend!

Diffused corn snakes should have some level of diffusion of pattern on their sides (that's where the name comes from!) that gets more pronounced closer to the tummy, but there are definitely levels of quality at play. A snake with no or very light side patterning is obviously going to be a higher quality Diffused than one with more normal-type side patterning. It's become pretty common to see these popping up in the hobby, though, as folks just mash snakes together without regard for morph integrity. :(

Personally, I know "pet only" is a bit of a trigger phrase in the reptile hobby, but if a Diffused has normal, undiffused patterning on their sides or any checkering on their tummy, I certainly wouldn't consider them worth breeding. They can still be a gorgeous lovely pet! There's absolutely nothing wrong with keeping snakes as pets and just, like, not breeding them! You don't need to breed them to love them! You don't need to breed them please stop breeding them I beg of you please the market is so saturated please do not

Anyway,

If a het [insert favorite gene here] is paired to a non-het, the resulting offspring will be 50% likely to carry the het gene. We call these "50% het [gene name]" until proven het or non-het.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I should start adding color into my background when I’m making mini characters, even if it’s just a plain color, anything is better than the solid white. Anyways, I drew @xxsweetoothxx ‘s Oc Pallywal! Also I made a tiny lil comic with him, Quinn, and Samson!

Confession Time: I used to lurk on your old blogs so I already knew about most of the characters like Thomas, Molly, Leslie, Rolan, etc. Although I don’t think Ragz was Jill/Jack back then (hell, I don’t even remember if they were called Ragz , pretty sure it was just Jack), so I’m learning some new stuff. I was almost 99% percent sure it was mentioned that Pallywal was divorced at one point so the comic mentions that, correct me if I got it wrong though.

latest dream idea: what if anakin and obi-wan swapped origins? kinda, anyway (this is the kind of thing i'm honestly surprised i haven't already mused on to death, tbh)

the age gap was smaller - anakin was still younger, maybe 10, but obi-wan was like 15 (in canon obi-wan is what, 24? 25 when he meets nine-year-old anakin? so that's 14/15 years rather than like. 5). ("you're the closest thing i have to a father" says anakin. "then why don't you listen to me??" asks frustrated teen parent obi-wan lol oh no.) ANYWAY they weren't on tatooine either, but a similarly lawless place and there was still racing of some type and obi-wan was a racer. also no shmi 😒 i wonder if she was still anakin's mom and he'd just been found earlier?? could be. don't remember that part

the main thing i remember is obi-wan being all alone in this scary place, effectively faking an exit when he was otherwise going to be... idk, beat up i think? and i was briefly in qui-gon's place while following where he'd really gone and telling him quietly where to find me later. and a definite determination to save him

which i understand, as someone who loves obi-wan dearly, but idk what your thought process is here, qui-gon! bc if nine was too old i think everyone is going to think you have legit lost your mind walking in with someone halfway through his teens! and he ain't even a candidate for chosen one! there's defiance and then there's delusion, and then there's whatever this is

the dream ended before that became relevant, tho. so now i get to chew on a slightly more plausible swap... 🤔
