RE2!Leon Kennedy x fem!reader

NSFW ALPHABET HEADCANONS

18+, minors do not interact its not even interesting for you (*'▽'*)

A —— [aftercare]

Honestly? I see this Leon outside of this point. I mean, of course he loves you and all that, but when you finish, he gets so sleepy that his whole body literally refuses to move. He's usually caring, so he'll automatically ask if he can do anything for you, and if you ask him for something, he'll nod and promise to do it, but ask you for a break in a couple of minutes, and then... he'll probably pass out. Of course, if something extraordinary happened after your intimacy (for example, you want to write, but literally can't stand because of him), then he will do everything for your comfort, but this is more the exception than the rule. Don't be mad at him, he's so cute!

B —— [body part]

Leon at this age... is quite influenced by everything that surrounds him, including what his peers, colleagues talk about, what porn shows. He likes any part of your body, if he's even heard that this part can be attractive, like. Are his friends leading a debate between tits and assholes? You'll get his craving for these places from you. Did you see an excerpt from hip sex porn? In the coming days, he will feel your hips and thighs as if this is his favorite place. But I'm pretty sure he loves your cheeks very much. Just for no reason, he likes your round, rosy, soft cheeks.

C —— [cum]

Anywhere but inside! He's too young and obviously 100% sure he's not ready to be the father of an unplanned child, and not at all because he's afraid that you'll freak out if you find out that you're pregnant! He always has enough (a lot, actually) condoms with him so that he can afford safe sex. If he wants to try something like a pearl necklace, he will ask your permission, although if you ask him about it in the process, he will agree, even if it is inside.

D —— [dirty secret]

Sometimes he finds himself thinking that he wants to try to be bottom, like bottom from bottom. But he doesn't want a drop! It's just... like if you were told not to think about a white monkey, you'd probably be thinking about a white monkey, right? The same thing happens to him: he says to himself that he would never make such a blissful face from an artificial penis in his ass, and from this thought exactly such a picture is imprinted into his consciousness, and the more he tries to drive it away, the more annoying it turns in his head. However, although he sometimes finds such thoughts shamefully arousing, he would not want to actually try it. The thought of a foreign object in his ass... just ugh.

E —— [experience]

None. Where would he get it from? There's no one to gain experience with at the orphanage, and you won't really find anyone to date at the police academy in the men's dormitory either, so... you're his first. You were the one he gave his virginity to, and he doesn't regret it a bit. Although he would really like to try everything with you that he knows and what you know, the benefit of his sexual appetite allows him to do this. It's hard to say anything else here, because sexual experience is not Schrodinger's cat: it either exists or it doesn't.

F —— [favourite position]

I believe that he enjoys riding and missionary poses equally. He loves to see your face when his cock moves inside your bosom, and he likes these two poses for two reasons. When you're on top, it's enough for him to pay attention to how you move together, giving each other pleasure with rhythmic movements, he feels your unity as a whole, he likes to feel this connection between you. He would enjoy the way your fingers intertwine, forever, while your weight on his hips allows him to relax and enjoy you.... When you change and he's on top of you, he loves to make you roll your eyes, biting your neck, licking your collarbones, marking you as much as he can, while his hips seem to be trying to heat your ass white so that it melts and is permanently soldered to him. He presses you into the mattress harder because his hunger for you is unquenchable, and his love for you is boundless.

G —— [goofy]

It is difficult for him not to joke: it is generally difficult for him not to let some accidentally funny phrase stay inside his mouth during those processes when he should be more serious. For some reason, I can't think of phrases that he could say during sex with the intention of making it playful and that would not turn out to be funny later. Perhaps it's because of his inexperience and the uncertainty between the lines because of this in his words and actions, when he bends down to your ear and purrs something like: “This baby's pussy will drink its fill of thick milk today...” It's hard for you to hold back your laughter when you hear that, seriously! He slows down a little because of this, but it doesn't take much for him to understand what nonsense he said (he will blush with slight shame, but will try to continue so as not to give himself away). After he inserts his penis into you, there will not even be an idea left in his head about trying to be cheesy, no, now he is completely focused on the place where your bodies and souls merge into one.

H —— [hair]

He only shaves for you because he wants you to see him at his best. Be sure that before each of your dates, it will be almost smooth in many places: groin, armpits, chin and neck. At first, he will even shave off a trail of blond hair from his groin to his navel, but if you tell him that you like her, he will leave her alone. He has no requirements for you - he would not call it a requirement, rather a wish: No matter how exaggerated it sounds, there are just no bushes. He will not be confused by a small amount of hair on your body, you do not have to be smooth as a baby's ass in all places of your body, but at least just show your attention to his preferences in this way. Although he's obviously definitely going to be happy to see you completely shaved.

I —— [intimacy]

He is as romantic and intimate as his salary can allow him. Dates in roadside cafes, flowers plucked from a flower bed, postcards with his own hands — this is about him. He's not a stingy guy, you just know, for a rookie cop to allow himself frequent gifts even for his beloved is too much, and he would like to show his feelings for you as much as possible. He will definitely take you for a ride in his patrol car, buy beer and French fries before inviting you to come to him, forcing you to wait a little because he forgot to clean up the apartment, similar to the explosion of the bachelor, but on special occasions he will come to your house with flowers from the store, a bottle of wine, in something similar to a suit, just so that you feel this special thrill when he takes you in his arms, slowly but sensually kissing your neck, leaving a wet trail with his warm lips, which will have time to turn into a small bruise by the time you find yourself in your bedroom.

J —— [jerk off]

Every time you're not around, but he thinks about you. It's something spontaneous and probably related to an overabundance of hormones in his body.: again, it is clearly not possible to masturbate in an orphanage, but in a police academy… Well, other guys, grueling workouts and dumb exams definitely don't excite him, so it's only after graduation that he has the opportunity to devote himself to it. He masturbates like a teenager in puberty when he's sitting at home, missing you because you couldn't go on a date together when he has a lunch break at the department, and you called to chat with him when he's showering and accidentally runs over his penis more times. This is probably due to the fact that he has not yet thrown out all the hormones accumulated from his puberty, with age it will pass.

K —— [kink]

Mommy is a kink. It happens to him suddenly, he doesn't even care if you're older or younger than him, when you climb on top of him, a voice in his head will start yelling, squeaking and whining, begging him to call you mommy. If at some point he gives in, then you will have access to his heightened sense of shame, because even his shoulders will turn red with embarrassment. If you want to take advantage of this weakness of his, then you will bring him to tears, his voice will be squeaky, high-frequency moans will burst out of his chest with each of your movements on his penis, he will beg you to stop, actually wishing that he would stay in his happy place under you until you get tired.

L —— [location]

Fuck, it's either your place or his, there's no exact location. It happened a couple of times in the backseat of his patrol car, but after the police captain scolded him for a long patrol (he obviously guessed everything, but did not say so as not to embarrass the boy, and Leon even realized it), he decided not to experiment anymore, at least not in this car. Secretly or not really dreaming that one day you will come to the department to see him, for example, during a break or at the end of his shift, and then it will turn into a hot pastime.... Although, just not under threat of dismissal.

M —— [motivation]

Well... maybe he could sometimes think that since you agreed to accept him for the first time, then... you must like him very much? He gets turned on by the idea that you don't care what he's bad at or at least not very good at, he likes to think that you think he's perfect, that your loving eyes are completely sincere, because he loves you hopelessly much, believe me.

N —— [no]

Anal sex. No, no and no, okay? Neither way. I already mentioned this in point D, so even if it's with you, he doesn't even want to think about it — or rather, he wants to, but only in theory, the slightest thought of practice or its implementation makes him wince. Because the ass is made to poop, not for someone to stick their genitals in there!

O —— [oral]

He loves it when you give him a blowjob, and it doesn't matter to him whether it's deep or not, although he really likes it when you don't take him completely or choke, this to a certain extent increases his self-esteem for the reason from point X. He has heard that sometimes what goes into your mouth can come out of your nose, and sometimes he thinks about whether he will be able to see his sperm dripping from your nose. Cunnilingus turns out to be a little awkward and clumsy, because he clearly cannot calculate the correct amount of pressure with his tongue, sucking or teeth, but he sincerely tries. If you sit on his face, he becomes even more sloppy and inattentive, but over time he can learn. Oh, and he also can't find a comfortable position for his head and arm when he tries to combine his mouth and fingers.

P —— [pace]

Loves fast sex, trying to push into you as deep as possible. The idea that he's trying to use you as a flashlight comes up to both of you sometimes, but he's not rude or disrespectful to you, so is that... okay? But sometimes he likes it when you do it slowly, for example, when it's too late and you both want to sleep and make love at the same time. Don't let him fall asleep in such a relaxing rhythm, I beg you!

Q —— [quickie]

He does not disdain this and is not shy about it. This happens either when you are in a hurry somewhere, or when the place is not quite suitable for this: a toilet, a car, a secluded dark alley (but only if he had previously conducted a patrol in the area and made sure that there were no drug addicts or other dangerous cattle). It happens the same way every time: he puts his head on your shoulder, whining softly in your ear about how he loves you and wants you, gently kissing your neck, tickling you with his breath until you agree. In fast sex, you rarely get to cum, so he selfishly leaves you unsatisfied. Collect the debt from him later. Sit on it.

R —— [risk]

He'll try it once and promise that he won't do it again, but he will. He is sometimes like a curious kitten, and of course he wants to do all the things that you do when you are consumed with love for each other, even outside your bedroom, but he tries it every time with such naivety and innocence, as if he did not even have an idea about future punishment for such a misdemeanor. A couple of times you were almost caught in the toilet, people already know that you were having fun in a patrol car, to your shame, but sometimes he still can't help himself and sins. But despite all his fantasies, he will never try to have sex with you in the department.

S —— [stamina]

He is young, well-trained physically, full of energy and hormones, of course, he can withstand for a long time, perhaps four hours almost without a break (he will slow down for a little rest, but not stop), if you want to arrange a marathon, after that his body will give up completely. But even if his hormones try to make him fuck until he has no strength left, sperm or his penis starts to burn, you usually don't do it for so long, and it's mostly because of you. The fact is that in the time for one of your orgasms, he can cum twice, and if he does not tune in to continue, he will be attacked by drowsiness, but in this state he is not sure that he will last twice more. He is almost sure that four is his voluntary limit in a free environment, and he does not want to leave you unsatisfied if you do not have a time limit — he loves you too much.

T —— [toys]

Leon probably has a mixed opinion about this. Yes, of course, he wants to try everything, especially with you, and in a fit of excitement he will most likely want to use everything that his hand or imagination can reach. But when he thinks about it with a sober head ... most likely, he will be more against than for. He wants to know that he was the one who gave you pleasure, he wants to know that you're enjoying sex with him, really enjoying it. He's still a pretty insecure teenager inside, so he needs that feeling from you.

U —— [unfair]

Well... he's trying. It turns out every other time. Sometimes it's too funny, sometimes it's too perverse, sometimes it's too serious. He can't find a balance and make sure that his teasers turn you on, but he tries, sincerely tries to achieve the appropriate effect. And even though he never succeeds, his attempts are still very cute. And after that, you can be the one to tease him. In any case, the end is always the same: you will have sex without holding back for too long.

V —— [volume]

Not very loud because he's holding back. In his awareness, when a man moans in sex, it is something like an indicator of his weakness and pity, he likes to listen to your moans more, he does not want to prevent himself from hearing them clearly. And he is also a little shy, considering the sound of his voice at such moments strange. Of course, if you are on top, he will let go of himself, completely giving you control, but in normal times you will not get anything but guttural growls, puffing and sweet things addressed to you.

W —— [wild card]

“Fuck... you're so high, aren't you...?”

He should have seen this coming when he let you stay the night at his place. He should have thought that you'd be too lazy to wear anything but a T-shirt and panties when you wake up, and that you'd decide to make you two a quick breakfast. And what could be faster than eggs and bacon? You two haven't even moved away from the frying pan where the food is still frying, you're too close in the hot surface, but he can't think while your pussy sucks him inside.

His right hand rests on the countertop in front of you, his left presses on your stomach, pressing you closer to him and holding you in place so that your hips do not twitch dangerously close to the pan. He puffs into your hair, tracing your earlobe with his tongue and gently biting your lobe, and can't help but grin softly as he mumbles:

“Damn, you're so hot.... Just don't burn our breakfast, okay?”He moans through clenched lips, burying his forehead in your shoulder, and then laughs softly, muttering. “And of course don't get burned.”

Even if you fail and burn your eggs, be sure you will definitely get a portion of protein for breakfast.

X —— [x-ray]

Well, his physical training guarantees him pretty strong muscles, prominent, but not too much like those ham-like bodybuilders. And if he has no complaints about his body (you obviously don't either), then he's a little demanding about his penis. He was in the communal showers many times after training at the academy and of course often participated in "competitions whose penis is longer/thicker/better" or at least watched them. He was definitely in the first half of the ranking, but such events add up to any guy's certain perception of his penis, and he is no exception. Big enough for you to like, but not big enough for him to feel super confident, probably around 16-17? Uncut, maybe a little bent.

Y —— [yearning]

Very, very, sooooo high, almost breaking the acceptable scale. Again, as I said, he has too many hormones accumulated since adolescence, which his body wants to release as soon as possible, but he will never cross the line. It's not in the nature of this sweet boy.

Z —— [zzz]

He's passing out. As fast as the situation and you can allow him. Especially if you had several rounds at a time. In some cases, if it's lazy sex in the late afternoon, he may accidentally doze off in the process.

yeah shit thats are my pure thoughts idk but I like that ( ・∇・)

[skipppppy]

(stands alone surrounded by the ashes of the Carmen Sandiego ass discourse) uhh the show was animated by hand so her character proportions probably changed very subtly from scene to scene bc it is VERY difficult to keep a character’s anatomy the exact same when they’re in constantly shifting dynamic poses. ESPECIALLY the torso/hips bc the centre of gravity is the source of most of the movement so it’s a nightmare trying to balance between weight and posing. I paid £9000 for an animation degree and instead of getting a job I’m here to tell you the objective truth that Carmen’s ass is a schrodinger’s cat. It depends on who’s keying her. Her ass is fluid. Ever changing. You’re all correct. But more importantly you’re all bananas

[nuclearforest]

Crack Millennium headcanons because nothing is serious and they all deserve to be mocked like the fools they are:

Major Montana Max: an idol stan. His fav is Love Live and his fav generation is Mu's. He has multiple instances of the rhythm game app and has spent literal houses worth of money to win his favorite gacha pulls.

Doc: runs the anime bathtub wiki and can identify anime girls by their feet.

Captain: probably has an OnlyFans or influencer level Instagram where he works out and sells his bath water to fund all his furry commissions because all of Millennium's funding goes to Montana's gacha addiction.

Zorin: is a reigning champion on the hit reality TV show Naked and Afraid. She has almost killed and eaten her partners because they were useless and she didn't want to see a dick for a month.

Rip: is a Disney adult. Her room is stuffed with merch and when Frozen comes out everybody in the base learns the words to Let It Go.

Schrodinger: is given access to the equivalents of those 1950s chemistry kits and has a copy of the anarchists cookbook. He's about halfway through all the recipes.

Jan: is The Man to consult on dick pic composition. Surprising understanding of lighting, pose, and frame content. Regularly consults with the Captain on how to maximize thirst traps.

Luke: most definitely catfishes people on dating apps as a hobby. His longest running is an LDR going on 2 years.

Tubalcain: has a thing for cougars. Regularly goes out to his local casinos to pick up old tourists and get pampered for the night.

Bonus Dark Walter: goes to various slam poetry nights exclusively to dunk on the poets. He has an Oxford education and does nothing with it beyond being a Mean Girl to the point he's regularly kicked out if venues. His own edgy ass poetry is surprisingly good.

[maxwell-grant]

thoughts on Tekken8 so far ?

Not too many, I have mostly mixed feelings on Tekken stuff but:

Okay this rules, this is a killer fucking idea for a fighting game story mode. I was actually just thinking the other day about how a lot of modern fighting games with big story modes can't really integrate the tournament structure into the story, so it's either not there or it becomes a schrodinger's tournament. But here there's no mistaking it, there is a King of Iron Fist tournament being held and fighters the world over are invited to join with their lives and with the lives of their ENTIRE COUNTRIES riding on the line. This rules, this fucking rules, I'm pissed Street Fighter didn't do this first because this is the most M.Bison idea that is also a way better plot than anything M.Bison ever did, fuck yeah.

I've heard this described as Tekken doing the Cell Games and having never watched Dragon Ball I'll have to take their word for it.

Don't care about Jin, never have really, but I am at least marginally curious as to how they'll square "Jin you are the light and hope of this world you are the hero of everything you must save us all" and "you totally fucking killed millions of people for no reason with that WW3 stunt dude". Love that Kazuya throws this in his face like, you weak little shit, you think you're putting me down? You think YOU have some kind of body count? Well it's just gonna keep growing watch this *BWOOOOOM

Tekken has spent a loooot of games running in a loooot of circles around the Mishima bloodline drama so this game promising to blow things out of proportion, with Heihachi dead (so far) and Kazuya cutting loose and the entire world seriously on the line, well okay that has my interest.

Gotta be honest folks, up until now I actually hated Azucena. Decent design, Peruvian representation is extremely rare and I was super on board for that, really liked for a beat how her fighting style's meant to abuse Tekken's 3D space with a lot of dodging and swaying... but then the character started talking and, oh great, she only talks about food, she's a gimmick character that only talks about her gimmick, here comes the next annoying latin-american stereotype that the gringos just find sooo charming and sexy and funny, here comes the next El Fuerte/Laura/Zarina, and all my interest died.

And then the latest story trailer revealed that she's happily teaming up with the G Corporation (and by extension Kazuya, you know, the guy currently raining fire and murder on the entire planet) because they make for "better brand optics for my coffee" and, huh. Well. Turns out she's a total piece of shit! The "beloved for her innocent personality" thing was a dead giveaway looking at it now. Turns out she's a business major cracking winks and poses while tanks and soldiers steamroll the land and people around her. You hear a lot of stories growing up here about plantation owners being cutthroat ghouls and I must admit, it's pretty great seeing that as the twist on a typically obnoxious Disney inclusivity cartoon person, feels very topical. Maybe it is just a rehash of Lucky Chloe's twist but Lucky Chloe wasn't that inspired to begin with where as this feels a bit more thought out. I expect to be ultimately dissappointed but it sure got me almost kinda liking her a bit.

Big year for evil women in fighting games.

Feels like Tekken was just bound to have a Nick Fury at some point with other fighting games elevating characters to that position, but it is pretty weird that this a thing, right? I guess when they're going more into world-threatening stakes and characters teaming up being treated like an Avengers gathering you kinda need a Nick Fury or several to glue that nonsense together. Anyway, Victor's pretty cool. Kinda shocked that he's the first French character in Tekken apparently.

It's not easy to make me like espionage-themed characters in fighting games but he's got enough style to him that I appreciate. He's just Vincent Cassel if he was a John Wick guy with a weird Final Fantasy sword but that's not like a bad combo by any means, really just seems like Harada really wanted to put a guy he likes from da movies in there. It's the Kojima impulse but hey, if it works and the voice acting isn't terrible (like a certain other studio, seriously how do you manage to get such lackluster material out of J.K Simmons doing Omni-Man), I'm cool with it.

I'm not too sure what to think of Reina? I feel like that's gonna be entirely dependant on her role in the game, because the other two are fairly throwaway characters where as her they seem to be putting a lot of stock in. I kinda like her design although I appreciate it better in fan art that lets her actually emote and look mean, the in-game face is just way too dull for what she's doing. I like the ego she's got and that she can back it up, that she's this new mystery newcomer with potential arriving to shake up the scene. I think a lot about her would be very generic and forgettable if it wasn't backed up by her mean punk personality and power, which I really appreciate. She kinda feels like if Asuka wasn't a joke. I'm just curious as to what her actual role is gonna be, and while I don't think she's gonna be a full blown villain the way Kazuya is, I'm gonna be pretty dissappointed if she just immediately slides into being a hanger-on hero. So I'm just waiting for more on her with cautious optimism.

I hope Heihachi never comes back because A: it's just wrong to have him without Unsho Ishizuka to voice him, and B: I hope they never ruin the humor of "Yeah he's dead dead but he has at least 20 bastard children all over the world and at least one of them is gunning for the throne so if you thought he was done causing problems or that the Mishima Bloodline would end with Jin, lmao"

[ID four pencil sketches of edward elric and ellen magboo. ellen in the first looks smug and says, "too easy. i can't believe they put me up against an easy opponent." second edward slightly bruised and angry says, "oh yeah?!" as he slams his hand on a rock. third pic is a comical zoom out with ellen going, "huh" as rock moves from the ground to squash her. last panel shows cartoony edward cheering with ellen family guy death pose as text reads in all caps, "congratulations edward elric!" /End ID]

ellen lost this poll by @schrodingers-gender-bracket but its funny so its okay 🥰

[ach-sss-no]

I've been tagged by @pazithigallifreya ! There's no one I can think of offhand to tag so just do it if you want to

1 How many works do you have on AO3? Aaahhh, well, the official number appears to be 5. I have some scattered orphans out there somewhere.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 262,523. Officially. If you were to track down everything I've orphaned it might go up a bit.

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Good sir, I only have written five fanfictions, so I'll just stick to the top one

Schrodinger's Hobbit

Ah yes, the one that was posted on a regular schedule and has characters people care about in the tags, giving readers a ghost of a chance to discover it and give it a 'well it's about gollum but I'm desperate for pippin' click

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

In theory, yes. In practice, if I don't reply to a comment as soon as I see it, I sometimes forget to go back and reply because I've tricked myself into thinking I already have. Because I usually reply right away, you see.

Fortunately I do eventually see the comment as unreplied to in my inbox and circle back to it.

However, sometimes if there's no question posed and a simple 'thank you' doesn't seem to apply I honestly can't think of an answer and will just appreciate the person in silence.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Uh, well, there's... oh, there's this one that's orphaned somewhere on AO3! it ends with Gollum learning how to eat people

I think I also wrote something once where it ended on a guy going 'oh no I am going to go insane just like my mother' but I don't know if it still exists anywhere.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Maybe Schrodinger's Hobbit? It ends with Aragorn saying 'Gollum isn't going to jail and we're just going to keep him' which is a happy ending from one point of view (Gollum's)

I usually just stop writing stories at the point where they stop being interesting.

7. Do you write crossovers?

The answer is no except for the time I did a crossover webcomic between two games no one cares about.

The first really ambitious fanfiction project I did was some kind of three way crossover with tons of canon/oc shipping and it was so bad.

Also there's a thing on my account that's technically a crossover but it's between Disney properties, which are already just one big lump.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

There's a TVTropes page out there with people railing about how bad my ambitious fanfiction project with tons of canon/oc shipping was. I am not going to find it for you.

In terms of comments, no, except for the one time I wrote a shipfic in a particularly eccentric fandom. People got bad about that. Oddly enough the people who liked the ship were the ones that got mad. Failed step one.

I've never gotten hate on AO3. (Not yet! 👀) Only the wild west of fanfiction.net and TVtropes.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do not.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so. I don't monitor for that, though.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I've had some people get permission from me to do translations, but they never told me if they posted anything.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Ahhhh I used to years and years ago. I think one co-written thing is still floating about somewhere on ff.net.

I wouldn't be opposed to trying it again one day if I met someone with a compatible writing style and the circumstances were right, but it's not something I'm seeking out.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

I guess I'm not really that into shipping. Sometimes a ship will catch my interest enough to produce content but there are none I currently find interesting enough to claim as a favorite.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

If I haven't finished it by now, I don't want to ;)

15. What are your writing strengths?

I don't feel well-equipped to judge my own work, so I will go off of what other people have said about me, which is always a great method for determining your self-concept.

A bunch of different people have said independently of each other that I'm good at characterization and dialog, so it's probably at least partially true.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Oh I don't know how to write a plot.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

There are so many different ways that could be done that this question feels too general to answer.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Lilo & Stitch. Almost 20 years ago now! The Internet has changed a LOT since then.

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

I'd like to try writing original fiction- wait, come back! Come back!

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Oh, now, that's hardly fair. You expect me to READ these things?

[goatwithaplan]

i've been having this idea for a long ass time of schrodinger sleeping over cielo and then cielo sleeping over gale on that same pose and gale is just there like "this is my life now" but i cant draw cielo to save my life.

[fantajoseph]

It is kind of fascinating watching the schrodinger's ethnostate, where Israel at once is egalitarian and its claiming of the remaining territory poses no threat or loss to the Palestinians who have lived their for as long as any can remember, the on the book laws favoring Jewish citizens being trivialities, and yet it ALSO is uniquely, intrinsically Jewish, speaking for Judaism with such completeness that criticizing it, even a Jewish person criticizing it, is inherently antisemitic.

[aidsyouinthinking]

Inktober Fortune

Schrodinger’s Vault

Orhpan, endorphin, starved; but teased, money for tummy, all but seized.

I only now know one face of the coin. It screams at me, to cut, punish, and flee, but when I, like scrouge, dive and adjoin; Everything clearly is right don’t you see?

My cage is our stage, and I have the key; A page of outrage, to remove carefree.

It’s tempting to burn it all to ash and withstand every deserving lash in hopes of golden phoenix risen: to free me from non-meadow prison. Or shall I first cast solid threat, play game and cards to lover abet? But whips and chains with no key is just puppet-derived hollow glee.

Mistake: I’ve no stake. But if it is true: I’d slake my heartache; it is not from you.

My question posed to our affair; is my dope brain still one to misinform: Am I just a breath of fresh air, to pillow the wings that batter a storm? Because even when you declare, I still feel a chill after time lukewarm. To turn-no-coat and ever foreswear, I’ll have to do what I can’t; reform.

The lines; our confines: a heavy-duty. Pay fines: it undermines, be free my fruity.

But as much as I do want to be told; often and perpetually consoled. No godly peddler could leave me sold, as my wires cross they shock me; self-scold. So my desire is one oddly put, like glasses shattered while walking barefoot: Although each is too small in its input, I can feel the emotional throughput. -------------------------------------------------------- Here are some words, do do doo do. That is kinda my final thought, it feels sorta unfinished? maybe wander will fill the rest, but hey, a piece of the jigsaw, all of them have been anyway, just this is a piece with only holes no joins? I'm too loopy and tired to say much of substance right now... So hope your next rest is aa rejuvenating as a... cold glass of water, that's preference I suppose, but eh, if you don't find that rejuvenating, then I say, you deserve your sleep to be the same (JK I have no power over how well you sleep, all japes :)

Possibly one of the largest shifts in SNSD dynamics for the 15 year reunion is that the intra-group popularity order is no longer in play. Paying heed to their relative popularity is an incoherent concept, and will no longer benefit their solo activities. This fundamentally changes all of the members' need to chase screentime during their group activities, and so their relationship dynamics and sentimentality (or even lack thereof!) feel more honest. This, of course, is most demonstrated by the three who were relatively SNSD's underdogs. Sooyoung has an irrepressibly forward personality, often taking the initiative and having the competence to back it all up. But back in the day, that was always shadowed by the financial incentives to grant the demands for more popular members instead. After leaving SM, nothing can hold her back, and neither do the other members want to. See how she naturally becomes the star of the Among Us puzzling, and the other members are happy to follow her lead. Sunny can be just as competent, leading to a variety-centered "post-SNSD" career, but even as early as Invincible Youth, we pegged that it's probably not her passion. She's okay with sitting back until the challenges come to, or are foisted upon her. There is an innate drive and competitiveness, but it doesn't seem to be people-centered. She seemed to relish her late-SNSD performance highlights (e.g. You Think, Gain's Bloom), and is Among Us puzzling's second main detective. Though, I found it hilarious that she fell back on "let's brute force this laptop password", and the contrast to Sooyoung's dogged pursuit of negotiations (which ultimately cracked that challenge) is quite illuminating of the difference between the two. Sunny seems to be the sole member of SNSD who doesn't appear to have a specific career dream that she's aiming for. Was this also the case during the SNSD days, or was it something that she eventually let go of after debut? Sunny is Schrodinger's Ambitions. There is so much I could say about Hyoyeon's career trajectory that it wraps back around to being able to say less than how much my Sunny paragraph ballooned out. She had more than enough ambition to match all of the most popular members, and yet SM seemed intent on suppressing it during the group activities days. The moment contracts were renewed, though, Hyo set about building that solo career like she was as popular as Taeyeon the entire time, with the clear creative vision to match. (Not to mention various little offhand comments and Jessica's novels implying some upper management-level industry clout Hyo and/or her family has!) The group activities days must have been so frustrating on so many fronts, and there was always a question as to how that situation affected the relationship dynamics and how she approached the opportunities she did get, whether performance or variety. But, of course, none of that situation, so dependent on the intra-group rankings, applies to now. Hyo doesn't have to give a shit about the other members' popularity. 15 year reunion activities are nothing but up-side. And what do we see? I think Hyo has probably been featured the most she ever has. She's truly unleashed, and the results are so compelling that even the editors can't ignore it. I think a similar effect has been in play for Sooyoung, as well. And staying on brand, less so for Sunny, who can't deny her own instincts in excelling when she can, but whose relatively more "relaxed" state doesn't have as consistent initiative (Sooyoung) or disruption (Hyoyeon). There's also an audience-side effect, too, where during the group activities days (which, I remind y'all, was concurrent with the 48G era), the oshi vibe meant that fans were constantly only pushing for their number one. In this era, acknowledging other members no longer poses any risk to their oshi's activities, so they may feel more free to spread their praise-lavishing around. Hyo is not only featured in more footage, but my perception is that she's getting a lot more comment-love, too.

Dad Talks. EP. 1 | Ethical Economics AKA Humanity vs. Capitalism

The Context - Discussion with friend over text

Friend : We still put money before people. 

Me : But as humanity grows we’re more knowledgeable now, and we’ll catch people and hold them accountable for it. 

Friend : Literally the opposite has happened. 

Me : I refuse to give up on the good of humanity. 

Friend : Oh, Humanity is good. Capitalism is evil. 

The Discussion with Dad - Also over text, and prompted by me presenting the above discussion and my thoughts on it. 

Me : Greed is evil, economy is a neutral entity that is wielded. It is one man’s greed that sours it. 

Well this poses an interesting question.

Can a concept, which due to the nature of human history, is created by man be neutral? If it is created by humans, who are intrinsically biased and lean forwards either positive or negative questions, then can it truly be neutral? 

Can I claim that something man made is neutral when I proclaim man is good but inherently fallible?

Dad : Sounds like you are doing fine. You pose the more interesting question. Capitalism, and even the idea of economics, are man-made creations. But not necessarily in the way a building or an invention is, or.a book or painting.

Economics comes from the idea that humans require, or desire, certain things to survive, and take action to acquire those things. As the types and numbers of things fluctuate, as well as how many humans and there are and how those things are produced, certain patterns of behavior emerge that seem to be driven by the numerous variable. Hence we study economics as a sort of science - it seems to operate under certain principles that can be deduced by observation and testing. It’s sort of like anthropology or sociology, we are trying to understand how humans have developed or how they will respond.

Me : So in considering it’s study being a science, can we presume we should be neutral in judging its patterns and more so directing moral judgements on those who use the properties of economics to act?

Dad : Capitalism is at, its heart, a theory of economics. One might even say it is the most basic and fundamental theory of how economics works. But it makes assumptions about how people respond to their economic stimuli and their motives. The primary assumption is that people will act to maximize their things. (Keep in mind that I am not an economist and that there is a great deal of literature on this topic - it has been studied a lot.)

There are other theories that predict that people and societies react differently. Capitalism tends to be more individualistic. Socialism and communism more focused on the wellness of the group.

Me : So does capitalism assume greed or does capitalism encourage greed?

Dad : I think you can approach any of those theories with a certain neutrality; the theories themselves are neither good nor evil. How people apply those theories can be approached from an ethical standpoint.

Me : Fair.

Dad : Does capitalism assume greed or encourage greed? Interesting question. Probably both, but even greed might not be the right word.

Then the question is what is the word that capitalism works off of.

Well, the question overall is interesting because in economics it is difficult to separate economic theory from an economic system. That is precisely because humans are involved. It is a bit like Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle or Schrodinger’s Cat - you can’t know the outcome or state of the system unless you act to measure it, but your act of measuring it determines the state of the system.

In economics, how one believes the system works depends partly on how one believes humans act or should act, and humans can work in different ways.

Me : Damn.

This leaves me and my friend very much at odds because I believe we think inherently differently on the way humans work. I think we both find humans to be naturally good, but I more easily overlook the times human do bad to embrace the times human do good while they are the reverse.

I will lean towards capitalism because I like the individualistic approach while still having great faith that more times than not humans will do good.

Dad : You will find there are several different version of capitalism as an economic and political ideology.

Me : But my friend leans towards socialism because they have seen too many times that humanity can be bad and the system abused, so an economic plan for the welfare of all appeals more to them because they believe the opportunity for bad is inherently tempting.

It worries me that I may only find capitalism appealing because I think I myself will work well in it, or perhaps that is my privilege that leads me to favor capitalism. 

Dad : Humans are involved in all of these systems. There are no robots or divine forces that will be kind to everyone if only we let them.

Socialism relies on good governance to work. It can be as poorly applied as capitalism.

Me : True.

Dad : Capitalism often maximizes freedom of the individual, which allows individuals to flourish more than other systems, but also allows individuals fail more than other systems. It can also lead to unhealthy balances of power or wealth that can twist the system into actually being intrinsically unfair. This is likely because capitalism is a near perfect theory in an ‘unbounded’ system (resources and people and space are limitless), but when applied more practically to the bounded systems we actually live in it needs some regulation and constraint. (My own personal theory - might be complete B.S.)

Me : Don’t sell yourself too short, it’s the observation of peers that make a theory sound.

Schroentgen, the Unknown Scar of Ulmich

More Ulmich lore! This mon's actually a concept I've had for an ungodly amount of time, but I thought it'd be a pretty appropriate inclusion to Ulmich considering its themes.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Species Name: Schroentgen

"The Atomic Age Pokemon"

Type: Poison/Steel

Gender: Genderless

Ability:

Mutually Assured Destruction - Upon entering a battle, the user poisons all opponents, including itself.

Base Stats:

HP - 100

Atk - 90

Def - 90

Sp. Atk - 160

Sp. Def - 90

Speed - 150

TOTAL: 680

Its signature move is "Criticality," a Poison-type special attack with a base damage of 120 and a PP of 5.

Dex Entry: Schroentgen was the result of a nuclear experiment during the middle of the 20th century. After several scientists fell deeply ill from acute radiation sickness, it was decommissioned and buried deep underground.

Schroentgen's name is derived from Erwin Schrodinger, the Austrian scientist behind the Schrodinger's Cat experiment, and Roentgen, a unit measuring ionizing radiation named after Wilhelm Rontgen, a German physicist.

Schroentgen was built in an Ulmichan lab in the early 50s, a shining example of Ulmichan ingenuity during the early Atomic Age. It's a self-contained nuclear power plant, able to give out massive amounts of energy in such a short amount of time. Its legs are cooling towers, with valves under its feet that allow it to intake water necessary for cooling itself, preventing overheating that could cause a meltdown. For the time, it was a massive achievement.

However, due to the limited knowledge of how nuclear power works at the time, much of the plutonium, uranium, and radium compounds inside Schroentgen were improperly stored, leading to leakage.

As a result, many people fell ill after exposure to Schroentgen within a relative radius of three miles, all of which suffered from various forms of radiation sickness. The closer one was to the Pokemon, the more severe their symptoms were. Many scientists involved in the Schroentgen experiment fell into critical condition due to ARS (Acute Radiation Sickness) after constant exposure to the nuclear feline.

In a government cover-up situation, the Ulmichan federal authorities quietly made the decree to decommission and bury Schroentgen deep under the Earth, under massive amounts of lead, in order to prevent further sickness and loss of life. To this day, most Ulmichans are unaware of the Schroentgen's existence, or what it was that caused so many people to become so sick and covered in exposure burns during the 50s.

After many decades underground, Schroentgen fell into disrepair. Where its compounds were once improperly stored, it now actively expelled incredibly dangerous radiation, with lava-hot fuel dripping from its pipes. If ever it were to unearth itself, Schroentgen would pose much more of an active threat to Ulmich than it did in the 1950s. Without proper cooling, it could explode at any given moment, creating a massive exclusion zone. Do NOT touch the cat's burial site, no matter your reason - it's blocked off by the government for a very good reason.

Lastly, unlike Bundesaetos, its stats are incredibly unbalanced, and that is due to the nature of radiation itself - gamma rays are incredibly dangerous AND incredibly fast, able to phase through almost anything with a density lower than lead. I don't believe Schroentgen would be a box legendary for the Ulmich Region, but it would be similar to Eternatus. Just more of an active threat. Keep it away from Ground types or it might just render half of Ulmich uninhabitable - not all 4x weaknesses are created equal.

I'd just like you to know that the rotating silver gif seems to have bugged out on my dash, so there is now a T-posing Silver overlaying a rotating Silver. It's schrodinger's Silver. Only by hovering the cursor over the gif is his true form revealed.

🚨‼️CONTAINMENT BREACH ‼️🚨

[kariachi]

Okay, re-liveblogging Store 23 for reasons. Haven’t seen this episode since it aired so, should be interesting.

~

Beginning in Undertown, which I guess I have to keep given this is a rewrite but know that I’m doing it under duress. That whole thing is a tragedy waiting to happen.

I get the feeling everyone is having a day. Hello Liam.

Liam: Sorry I’m addicted to theft kidnapping I swear

Tell me Pax does not put up posters with his own face on them? Tell me he just has fans, or is the face of a movement. I can’t remember, he might be canonically, but please Faranth-

And here’s Benji, blasting the criminals and then posing for fan photos in the middle of a fight. tsktsk

Two rules: 1) Never blast your enemy into a weapons shop. 2) Never utilize electric weaponry against a navivore specializing in electricity. You ain’t dealing with Kevin, there’s no trauma keeping Ben from working with it here

Okay, two things- 1) I can’t believe I’m siding with Max but here he’s right, can we focus more on rescuing the kidnapped not-yet-hatched babies, pls? 2) Can, can somebody check on those because Ben blew up the cart. Like, sorry Grey, I don’t know what sorta shit Nova does in these cases but I am gonna have to make a change there because Ben just blew up a cart full of babies and I can’t let that slide as much as I know the episode will. Executive decision- Nova ain’t blowing up a cartload of babies

“What are you doing?” “This video’s gonna go viral” Benjamin!!!

Again, I’m with Max, this is what we call ‘police brutality’. Stop the criminal, rescue the babies, don’t blow them up, call it a fucking day.

The Kineceleran girl filming is upset now

Not supposed to be a weapon, Max~

Ben, 1) being the ‘good guy’ does not mean you’re always right (as you will learn as the episode goes on) and 2) you can say you’re good once you’ve gone and made sure those babies you blasted are safe and unharmed

And nope, he just fucks off to get a smoothie. Seriously, Ben? Seriously?

I hope we get an update on those eggs, I really do, because 1) if Ben caused them damage I’m gonna have Opinions, and 2) you know if he did the Plumbers’ll try to put that shit on Liam

Hello Blukic, Hello Driba

Ben is so serious about finding this Mr Smoothie.

The boys, coming to the logical conclusion that they’re looking for a roach coach Mr Smoothie otherwise there’d be some consistency in location at least

Ben is just full of good decisions today- a Mr Smoothie is not worth pulling out in front of moving traffic, Benjamin! Somebody couldn’t gotten hurt, and if you’d been hit Blukic and Driba probably wouldn’t have survived the pile-up, they’re small, only Blukic has anything resembling a helmet, and you’re on a motorcycle

But they’ve found Schrodinger’s Smoothie Store, cannot decide if it wants to be there or not. Make up your mind!

I’d forgotten just how much of a Cow And Chicken reference this episode had. !!! Okay, I had to go check because the voices are on point that is fucking Charlie Adler! The same fucker who voiced them in their show! And did the top voices in I.M. Weasel but that’s an aside. Also he apparently is the voice of Servantis? And he voices Hokestar which explains why they went with the reference, it was just a perfect storm. Also he apparently voiced Servantis? Talk about some fucking range. Managed to make him sound more evil than The Red Guy.

Welp, our references just got yanked out into the opalescent glowing void in which the store sits when it’s not settled elsewhere

‘Cross-dimensional sunburst aurora’ These are the names they give betta fish varieties in 2123

Blukic and Driba, arguing over whether it was a sunburst aurora and apparently pinwheel auroras (also definitely a betta fish variety of the future) are worse than sunburst auroras

Hello Professor Hokestar. Please do not have any more screegits hidden around here and also why do you have cross-dimensional shit in a franchise drink store?

A Mr Smoothie that exists in every dimension at once. I can’t help but feel that has to violate some sort’ve health code.

Utilizes a broken warp-field generator. Sir I don’t think that’s the sort’ve thing you should be fixing yourself. Sounds like the sort’ve tech you should be calling in a licensed and unionized repair technician about. Or at least a Kevin. Fucker probably builds them for fun.

“We’re not moving between places, we’re staying in one place while rotating through different dimensions. This is a dimension-skipping Mr Smoothie.” Thank you, Driba, for the explanation.

Also I know the captions are spelling it Mr Smoothy but fuck them I’m tired and still pissed about those poor eggs.

Hokestar I really don’t think a lack of competition is the only thing you should be hoping for when being stranded in another dimension. Somebody who can fix your tech should probably be at least #2 on that list.

Love that ‘alien making trouble’ is treated as a ‘yep this is Bellwood’ thing when it’s more a ‘there’s definitely at least one Ben in the tri-county area’ thing

Little bit of fucking destruction. Whoever you are, chill the fuck out

Oh look, Tetrax 23. Chill the fuck out. No reason to wreck a bus and crash a train, for fuck’s sake. What is with people this episode?

Ben: Hello it is me wtf Tetrax 23: ...whomst?

Only Ben 23 could see somebody nearly identical to himself and immediately call him a ‘yokel’. Also who the fuck says ‘yokel’ in this day and age?

‘Stick a fork in yourself- you’re toast’? Who let’s this boy out of the house? He needs, he needs something.

Also, can I just ask who on staff decided we needed more Bens. Like, was that really our big issue? They looked at this show and went ‘‘we need more Bens, endless fields of Bens’‘? Really?

Oh gods preserve me the little brat has flying speakers to make sure everyone knows when he’s going to be awesome and to hype his ass up. He still hasn’t blown up a cart full of babies yet, so he’s got that going for him, but damn is that obnoxious

Driba, Driba this is the second time you’ve specifically mentioned aliens, you do know you are one by the standards of Earth, yes? I just, I’m wondering. Given the amount of species you work with, and that you’re living on a world you aren’t native to, I would think specifying ‘alien’ would’ve died down a bit.

‘Freeze Lizard’, this boy really needs some friends or something to tell him when his shit is stupid

Oh gods the flying hype machines also do advertisements. And there’s apparently a fucking club bingo card or something for fans.

Random aside: I fucking love gyros. I don’t trust a fast food gyro place in the states, but I do love them.

Tetrax 23 is just, completely unimpressed. Understandably because so am I

Ben Tennyson, everybody- worries about changing history but not blowing a cart full of babies. No, I will not drop this until I learn whether or not those eggs came out of that explosion okay.

Oh gods that pun

Hokestar: I have no competition! Ben: Yeah, but I think you might get killed if you stay here

“It got a little drastic there for a while” child the fight lasted maybe a minute and you dominated

Oh god there’s a special Ben 23-themed Mr Gyro poster, save me

Oh look, Tetrax 23 wasn’t taken down by having one empty water tank dropped on him. Also maybe y’all should’ve waited until you knew everything was clear before you crowded in? Just in case? Some basic self-preservation pls?

Ben jumps in to help and of course immediately fuckers start shit, because of course

Bens: *see another person with an Omnitrix* Dude!

Damn Azmuth 23 (and yes they’re calling you Intellectuary but seriously), don’t know shit about this second Ben and already out for blood. At least investigate, goddamn.

People are way too big of fans of this kid. I assume because the alien thing is public. See this is why we got Kevin in the reboot, he’s to keep Ben humble. Every time he gets too big for his britches and Gwen can’t bring him down, Kevin can show up and just like, use him as an armrest or something.

Ben, trying to explain that he’s famous and awesome but not a rich and spoiled (given what we see of his future and that there’s shows and action figures and shit, my money is on either 1) all of the money he’s making off his likeness is going into a trust fund and he’s not getting that for a few years, or 2) Argit and/or Kevin has taken charge of the situation and are making money off Ben’s likeness)

There are Ben 23 themed hamster cages and I am concerned

Oh god tell me he doesn’t have a movie he has a movie wtf

Ben in the background just, stuck in some sort’ve pained smirk. Careful, your face’ll stick like that

I want to punt this kid. I know that’s the point and he does grow but, I want to punt this kid. He’s just so fucking full of himself

Ben 23 has never heard of Vilgax and trust us we can tell

It’s just 23s all the way down...

The allure of paying customers is gonna get Hokestar killed at this rate. Hokestar, pls tell me you invested in an ID Mask? They’re out there

Why does this child have a tower

‘Plug-Man’ gods help us somebody buy this kid a dictionary and thesaurus at least

Gotta love when writers have a character learn their lesson by putting them beside a version of themself turned up to twelve

Sudden Thought: wtf is going on with Camille in this dimension? I mean, her husband’s cousin is running around offing people like her. Did she nope out? Did she and Joel both fuck off the planet? Is she okay? Is her family okay? We know there were alien populations on Earth before the masquerade broke, wtf happened to them in this dimension? Are they okay? Did they fuck off? Just a whole enterprise smuggling refugees off Earth. Do you think Ben 23′s parents, aunt, and uncle just sort’ve quietly agreed not to mention that Frank and Carl are half alien? Just in case? I assume they still are, given the big change seems to be ‘Max died’.

OTTO’s goons out here robbing a bank and 23 gives no shits. Purely because it’s not aliens so it’s not his problem. Ben, meanwhile, is taking the job.

And the fucker wants to wait until he can get the cameras rolling

Ben handles things with ease. And 23 doesn’t know about the Plumbers. Don’t know why Ben is shocked by that.

Oh gods. They’re really doing the ‘3 aliens in a trenchcoat’ thing back at the store. And badly at that.

Love that they manage to have bad movie poster art

Ben: Consider- not everybody not from this planet is evil 23: *gasp*

I love how Ben uses the “like my bestfriend” and you have no idea who he’s talking about because all three people in line are- at this point in the show- considered aliens

Aww, hair ruffling

Hi SixSix 23

Oh damn, we have a timer on an arm. Not the right one to take off an Omnitrix but, certainly an arm

Thankfully Ben is XLR8 and can just run through ever fucking possible code real quick, which certainly ends that bought of drama fast

Welp, that was the last straw, Azmuth 23 has dragged the whole squad out for a de-Omnitrixing

Grey I hope you are happy to know I will not let Nova 23 run around with alien names this stupid

You would think any Azmuth would at least be smart enough to make sure you can’t just overcharge their damn suit when going up against a Ben. Especially a Ben whose line-up is so fucking well known. You shoulda been prepared. But no. Don’t know what I’ll do here...

Oh look, there’s a whole swat team at the restaurant, fantastic

How think is that road, goddamn? Tetrax 23 is up to his damn waist in melted asphalt

23, sit your ass down

“You’re rich and you haven’t killed anybody yet, kid, stop while you’re ahead” Thank you, Azmuth 23

Ooo, Max 23 died pre-Omnitrix arrival. That’s interesting. Wonder what happened there.

And we get heartfeltness out of fuckers

“How am I supposed to know the good aliens from the bad ones“ Step one, don’t just attack everybody you see who isn’t human. Step two, don’t go encouraging the idea that all non-humans are evil in others so that any non-human that ends up on Earth ends up attacking first out of fear for their safety or attacked without provocation for just trying to live their lives

Azmuth 23 pls do not give him his watch back right away, at least take him through a training course or something

Ben don’t give 23 his watch back right away, holy shit

Smelt petunia flavored smoothies. Something is wrong with that franchise. Give 23 this, at least he eats actual food

Holy shit Azmuth 23 is actually teaching! And being good about it! I didn’t know that was a thing an Azmuth could do! I thought all they knew was winge, make dangerous items, and condescend!

Ben: I will come back and kick your ass if I have to. Don’t make me have to.

And we’re back home! Ben running in to check on the grandpa he still has. Wonder if he has grandparents on the other side. We never learn anything about his mom’s side of the family. Or Gwen’s mom’s side of the family. It’s a wasted opportunity.

But more importantly, we see if we hear any updates on the eggs

And confirmation that OV Ben is still 16 which is *sighs in this fucking show*

And it’s a happily ever after for Ben and Max and we know nothing about what happened with those eggs. Were they returned safely to their parents? Were they damaged? Did Ben fuck up some poor family’s unborn children? Was luck on their side and they all landed safe and sound? Did that Kineceleran girl catch them all and put them aside before she started filming? We don’t know! They tell us nothing! I am pissed about that!
