#tessie rants

[averysmolbear]

Hi. I’m in a shitty mood so I’m just going to drop a little rant about assholes on this hellsite because I’m tired of seeing people I follow and especially people who are my mutuals dealing with these things. So if you don’t like rants, look away. And especially look away if you don’t like swearing because I’m about to drop a bit of that in what I have to say. And I’ll even place it behind a “read more” for everyone.

So do people just really not have hobbies anymore? Or is going around sending anon hate and other anon fuckery to people (especially POCs) their hobby? Is going around reporting people’s fics, even when they’re properly tagged or even when they’re not even “mature” the latest thing? Because the amount of times I have seen assholes clearly leaving shit for people on anon (and I’m sure the people I follow and my moots don’t even respond to most of that hate) seems to be getting worse. Add to it the reporting of fics and I just have to question why.

Are there people who are that bored that this is what they want to do with their days? Just sprinkling fuckery around to ruin someone else’s day? When I have a bad day, I want to run around and send lovely messages to the people I appreciate around here. I just cannot comprehend why people act like this.

Scroll past things you don’t want to see. Block tags that you don’t want to see. Block people that you don’t want to see. And maybe actually be fucking kind to others for once.

Okay, well, here’s a cute dog gif to make up for my ranting. 😊 I hope everyone has a wonderful day/night/whatever.

Murder Drones Manor Era Fanfic - Bloody Awful part 2- tw// period mention

tw// mentions of blood, periods, pain and mild binge eating. First chapter: https://www.tumblr.com/canadiannationalfox/768332608793919488/murder-drones-manor-era-fanfic-bloody-awful-tw?source=share

Part 3 https://www.tumblr.com/canadiannationalfox/768497862678069248/murder-drones-manor-era-fanfic-bloody-awful-part?source=share

The car ride into town was quiet mostly. "Why did we have to leave J back at the house?" Tessa sulked, her cramps and moodiness had the usually sweet little girl moody, but just short of being as mood as an angsty space drone.

"Tessie," James soothed, he responded as he kept his focus on the road since he was driving his vintage 2010 Hummer refitted with triple carburetors for the gas guzzling motor, "I wanted it to be like old times..."

"You didn't even remember my birthday, probably Mother's doing... again," the girl with the cool-toned hair groaned in annoyance before she continued to rant, "Where is she anyways? Back home plotting on how she can convince me to go back to living off 500 calories a day?"

James felt dismayed, remembering last year when he saw Tessa getting overly thin and her tired spells. "I promise, she won't ever do that again to you," James reassured, putting his hand on Tessa's shoulder, to which she moved away slightly. He stopped trying to comfort her as he softly spoke, "Tessa... she's away right now in Paris."

"Right, she's getting more of those god-awful sunhats she loves so much..." Tessa grumbled, "I guess..." her tone changed a little to be a little less grouchy, "I guess it's alright she's not around..." Tessa was in clothing not very suited for the warm early August weather. A black sundress with black and red striped leggings. She responded with a slight laugh, "God, though, literally... the day after my birthday, and I'm pissing blood." "As it is I'm running out of Sharpies"

They came to the traffic lights at the perimetre of the city they lived near, and had to stop, which gave James a moment to look at Tessa with an eyebrow raised as he asked curiously, "But, we have a lot back home."

Tessa pushed up her fringe of cool-toned hair with navy blue 'highlights' to show she had some greys coming in. "If you tell Mum, I will literally cut it all off again," Tessa informed bitterly before remarking, "I am NOT going blonde, no matter how much she badgers me."

James took off his tophat to show he had greys.

"Dad, you've always had greys, even when I was like... 5..." the Aussie tween joked with some snark in her voice.

"Tessa, it's hereditary, and believe you me, it sucks," James admitted, letting his usually detached but stern personality fall a little, being more open, "I'll get you more markers to help you stay True Blue."

Tessa laughed a little at the mention of the old lullaby her Dad used to sing to her. "Oh my god, Dad, cringe." she giggled, "Okay but to be fair... it's a good song still, even if it's about the Australian flag and not about either of us." She responded, a small smile peeking through, both an expression of her being happy from the pain killers helping keep the pain at bay and from James actually being a good dad for a change.

"Yeah, blonde really isn't your colour," James responded, ruffling Tessa's hair before the light turned green, "I'll help you get more markers to hide it." He had a fun idea as they got closer to the big box stores near the outskirts of the city, "How about we go shopping, like old times?"

"For real life?" she said all excited, "Honest?"

James took out of the inner pocket of his suitcoat as they pulled up to a pharmacy his JC Jensen credit card, smiling like a Mad Hatter, he looked to Tessa and replied joyfully, "You bet your bow we are!"

James and Tessa went into the pharmacy. They got a couple heating pads, both electric and flaxseed reheat-able kind. They got pads and tampons of varying sizes, as well as pain killers and vitamins. Then it was onto the art supplies shop a parking lot over.

Tessa and James headed back to the markers section and got all the blue, navy blue, and turquoise sharpies. After there, James took Tessa out to the place they used to get ice cream at, and the restaurant now served baked goods. James and Tessa sat at a table by the window, thunderous August rain had rolled in and was making droplets patter against the window. After the waitress left, Tessa was eagerly awaiting the order. "Are you sure I can have whatever I want?"

James replied reassuringly, "Yes, that's why I got the dessert sampler." "Won't Mother be mad?" the Elliott heiress asked, she fidgeted a little with a necklace they got at the craft store that had a pendant of a blue jay

"I'm not telling her what you're eating, I told her that I was making you watch the musical Heathers with me on stream"

Tessa responded rapidly with a laugh, "I'd rather die than hear Candy Store again this week." The two laughed together before James remarked, "Yeah... I think your Mother has forgotten the other good songs from her favourite musical... but also forgot all the other good musicals we've seen."

The waitress came to the table and set down two Dutch chocolate icecreams topped with chocolate cookie crumbs and then the large dinner plate with tons of little cookies, fruit desserts, and varying brownies. "Enjoy!" she trilled before walking away.

Tessa waited a bit before she started picking up brownies from the plate and scarfing them down like she hadn't eaten in days. She didn't care if she looked undignified as a ravenous dingo, she rarely got to have junk food, let alone sweets like this.

"Easy there, Tessie," James urged in a quiet voice, "You'll give yourself a stomach ache like that."

Tessa only stopped after a couple seconds for her to gulp down the dessert she was eating. She looked to her dad, grinning apologetically before she spoke. "Sorry, I'm just ravenous."

James sighed sadly, his grey eyes studying Tessa's scrawny frame, "I know... I'm sorry about that," he reassured gently, "I'm going to ensure your drones bring you mid morning smoko and afternoon tea with snacks more discreetly."

Tessa resumed her snacking, but taking it slower this time as she ate a candied slice of kiwi. "What about Mum?" she asked worriedly.

"Your Mum can deal with me."

"What if she tries to take my drones."

James insisted gently, "I won't let her. She can't do anything with them, since they're yours. Heck, even when your little butler put sugar on the rim of my margarita, I knew he was off limits." He chuckled a little before remarking, "Though the sugar was a lot better than the salt."

The girl with the turquoise and blue highlights snickered happily, "Daaaaad!"

The tophatted man smiled. "I missed this, Tessa. I missed us just hanging out and getting along... I wish we could do this more often."

"Me too, I miss you, Dad."

The two chatted more as they had their lunch of sweets before they headed to a couple more stores, even a book store, before heading home.

To Be Continued

character ask game: 5, 15, 20 for new york, California, new jersey and connecticut

My favorites let's go! (sorry this is late, I needed to wait a bit to collect my thoughts)

New York

5: The other side of paradise, Fuck Tha Police, Tongues and Teeth (I relate this to California as well, Yorkcali n all), really any rap song

15: (Same as California ones), New York x New Jersey, sometimes my ship NY/CA/IL/NJ/CT (it depends on the mood)

20: California because since California doesn't get to ramble or rant about his opinions much, New York is perfect for just listening and sometimes adding in his own two cents here and there. He loves not having to talk and getting to just listen to whatever California's brain decides to talk about next. Also Illinois because I feel like they would have a friend rivalry type thing and I can see the two hanging out at like a sports game. ((New Jersey for the same reason as Illinois)) Oh and Nevada because I think Nevada would really push New York out of his comfort zone (in a good way.) New York would be absolutely fed up with him at times because of how dramatic and sarcastic he is lmao.

California

5: California Love (it’s un-ironically one of my favorite songs rn)

15: New York x California and New York x California x New Jersey are my favorite ships for him

20: Florida, New York, Nevada, Washington and Oregon. Florida and New York because they bounce off of his personality nicely. Florida is chaotic and always ready to drag California out of the house, no matter how much he may complain about it. ((California secretly enjoys it and it helps him get out of depressive episodes.)) New York is standoffish and quiet which makes him the best for listening to California’s ramblings, putting in his own input every so often. Nevada because they would be very bitchy but would hype each other up in dramatic/sarcastic ways. (Definitely would help each other with makeup and outfit choices) And Washington and Oregon would be very sarcastic about everything but would enjoy hanging out with him. (they wouldn’t admit that to anyone, though) ALSO I'm dragging in my cryptid headcanons real quick and saying Tahoe Tessie.

New Jersey

5. I don't really have one for him, yet. (someone give me song recs pls, /nf)

15. (same as California and New York), New Jersey x Rhode Island, sometimes Nevada x New Jersey

20. Rhode Island because I see them as like puzzle pieces. One is always not too far from the other. They stick up for each other and listen to each others dumb ramblings on what happened that day, (or in the past). Rhode Island's always there to help calm New Jersey down during panic attacks and bad days, and vice versa. (Nevada for the same reason as New York). Not The Jersey Devil because I can see him having more of a protective "child and parent" kinda bond with it. (NJ being the child, Jersey Devil being the parent.)

Connecticut

5. same as New Jersey, though the Pirates of the Caribbean is something I always link to him lmfao

15. I actually haven't settled with a ship that I like for him. I've considered Colorado and even Arkansas being in a relationship with him, but I don't know. I enjoy Florida x Connecticut though, strictly because of Storytellers_And_States' fics

20. Rhode Island because I can see them being drinking buddies and hanging out every once in awhile. Maybe Florida because I can see them bonding over pirates and chaos. (I need to think more about his friendships-)

congrats mother 3 you managed to get me out of art block to the degree that i found the motivation to make an animatic for the first time in five years after wanting to all that time but never being able to commit. final evolution of fandom brainrot

in all seriousness, as an animatic centered around mother 3's "known for being such a heart-warming and wholesome" ending, this is definitely one of my darker works. i promise i'll be back with something more light-hearted soon

rant below, tw's in tags and video intro

i've been listening to a lot of rise against lately and make it stop (september's children) made me really emotional the first time i heard. the song was actually written to raise suicide awareness for bullied lgbt youth (which for the record i don't want to erase, that is a very serious topic that is still relevant today which is why i'm mentioning that here and appreciating what the song set out to talk about)

but the first verse specifically is about lamenting over not seeing the signs that a loved one was on that kind of path--which, of course, is relevant to lucas and claus. lucas, who blamed himself for claus's disappearance in the first place and probably felt even worse when claus died by his own hand. claus, who showed less-obvious signs of struggling over hinawa in that last half-day before he disappeared that nobody in Tazmily was educated to recognize or help with.

it's easy to miss even for the player the first time going through (hell, i did at first), but in hindsight there were so many red flags: his complete shutting down at the campfire, and his consistent tendencies to run away whenever he's about to show emotional vulnerability (when caught by tessie at hinawa's grave, then when his confidence breaks when talking to flint in the jail cell). one may assume he was taking it better than lucas, but the ending proves that was far from the case.

(of course it was much, much more complicated than that, i don't think he'd have done that if not for everything that happened with the masked man thing. but ultimately i believe his desire to see his mother again was a major deciding factor in the end: the mother he was denied the ability to correctly grieve over when his autonomy and mind was robbed from him for so many years)

but hindsight is 20/20, as they say. all one can do is take claus's story as a lesson: always make sure your kids know that it's okay for them to feel difficult emotions, and they aren't weak for crying or needing support. perhaps the trip to the Drago would have never happened had claus been taught that, and he would have lived.

Title of the book: The Lottery

Author: Shirley Jackson

Characters:

Mr. Summers- the one who manages and in control, of the social events. He also runs a coal business.

Mrs. Hutchinson- wife of Bill Hutchinson

Bill Jr, Nancy, Davey- children of Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson

Old Warner- the old man who urges the honor to stone Mrs. Hutchinson

Plot: explains the humanities darkest forces.

Summary:

In the morning of June 27th all the people in a small village gathered in the town square to participate in the lottery. The children went to gather first, collecting smooth and fine rocks which they piled in the center of the square. Both ladies and gentlemen went to gather, they are talking, gossiping, and laughing. Mr. Summers came, carrying a black ancient wooden box that was used for over 77 years. All the heads of the families, heads of households, and members of each household were recorded before the lottery begins. The postmaster swore to Mr. Summers as the lottery official. Arriving late is Tessie Hutchinson. Mr. Summers then made fun or her late arrival which makes the crowd laughed out. After that, Mr. Summers then explained the rules of the lottery and with that they started the lottery. People started to approach the box alphabetically order by their last name. Each one was required to take a piece of paper. As the names were called, the tension became stronger around the square. The old man Warner ranted about the Northern Village who were talking about giving up in the lottery. “Nothing is good enough for the young folks will as well live in caves and quit their jobs” said by Warner. He also said, “Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.” After the heads of each household has drawn their slips, they then opened their slips all at once. Bill Hutchinson was selected to be stoned to death in the lottery. However, Mrs. Hutchinson got angry that his husband didn’t get to have enough time to pick. The Hutchinson family then draws lots to themselves in the final round of the lottery. Mr. Summers asked Mr. Hutchinson if there are any households in the Hutchinson family. That is when Mrs. Hutchinson suggested that their children should also partake in the lottery. All of their slips, their family slips were put in the box. the three Hutchinson children opened their slips and it revealed a blank piece of paper, so as to Mrs. Hutchinson’s husband. Unfortunately, Mrs. Hutchinson got the slip who has a black dot in the center. That is when the children and people at the square decided to take an action and stoned Tessie to death.

Moral Lesson:

It opens us to the mindless preservation of the tradition where some of the traditions were not right anymore due to the reason that it requires sacrifices that are inhumane. The meaning of the ritual was never revealed but it shows how too much it is important to the villagers. The black box signifies the very outdated and old fashion way of keeping the tradition. It also represents the tradition as very worn out. Thus, this story tells us that it will be good for us to move on and take a step towards the present rather than stick to the past. There’s more out there that we are failing to see because we are too attached and scared to let go of the things from the past. We just need to learn on how to improve and develop ourselves.

When I played Mother 3 a few years after the fan translation came out, I was burning out on the JRPGs I was playing, most of which seem to follow Final Fantasy’s train of thought where every emotional plot twist or character moment were often overexposed fifteen minute cutscenes usually accompanied by excessively dramatic music and the cast knee deep in expositions as they explained in anguish why They Are Sad and whatever relevance it had to the plot (it’s what happens when gaming got better graphics and bigger budgets, everything had to be a cinematic masterpiece that nowadays is standard).

Mother 3′s simplicity, including its deliberate use of a silent protagonist (whenever you control them, that is), meant the game conveyed this moment through their actions. Instead of a long ass cutscene where Flint goes on a I Feel Sad rant, this scene is just raw. Flint gets violent and attacks anyone within range until Lighter knocks him out. For me, the most damning is Tessie covering up Lucas and Claus’ face so can shield them after the traumatic experience they endured.

And this took all but like a minute. And they were the most uncomfortable, saddest, emotional minute of my life. It was a thousand times better than whatever Final Fantasy was doing at that time, really took me off the hook way back then, and has stuck with me to this day.

Breda in Bother...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (21st-25th October 2019)

It was the week where Breda’s odd behaviour finally caught up with her and saw her confess to murder! With Breda still making frequent trips to the pig farm, Goldie began to get suspicious, especially when she realised that her Mother had failed to put the farm on the market like they’d agreed. Things came to a head when Sylver and Goldie caught Breda sneaking out of the flat with a load of food and Goldie demanded that her Mother see a psychiatrist. Enraged at the idea, Breda stormed off to see Tony and ranted at the very idea of speaking to a professional. However, when Tony pointed out that it could be the only way of getting her family off her back, she agreed to see someone. However, things went badly wrong for Breda at the appointment when she ended up revealing far more than she planned to, and the psychiatrist told Goldie and Sylver how concerned she was for their Mother...

With the family worrying that Breda could have dementia, Goldie refused to let her leave the house alone, which was very bad news for both Breda and Tony. When Breda kept trying to escape, Goldie fitted her car with a tracker, and was later furious to learn that her Mother had gone back to the pig farm. Goldie decided to follow her, and was horrified when she discovered Harry’s blood stained wallet in a bin on the farm. With Goldie wanting to alert the police, Breda knew that she had to come clean, and she admitted to her daughter that she thought she’d murdered Harry. Playing up to the psychiatrist’s concerns, Breda put on the performance of a lifetime as she claimed to have killed Harry, believing him to be her late Father...

Meanwhile, there was a shock for Diane when Tony’s estranged Father, Edward, arrived on the doorstep, completely out of the blue. Despite Diane initially sending him packing, Edward refused to give up, and told Diane that he wanted to help in Tony’s absence. Cindy was impressed when Edward managed to sort out her bird problem, and convinced Diane to give him a chance. Diane relented, and Edward was welcomed into the family by everyone but Finn, who was suspicious about his motives for turning up. Realising that Diane could do with a break, plus some adult company, Edward arranged for Leela to have the kids, and then invited Cindy, Mandy, Nancy and Darren round, who were just as impressed by him as Diane had been. But this is Hollyoaks, and it’s surely only a matter of time before he’s revealed as a psycho...

Elsewhere, Brooke and Ollie had their first meeting to discuss the adoption, but it was clear that Ollie was having second thoughts, especially when he discovered that the baby could be placed 100s of miles away and any contact would be at the discretion of the new parents. Not wanting to completely give up the baby, or Brooke, Ollie suggested that Brody and Sienna become the adoptive parents, that way he and Brooke could still be in the baby’s life. Brody and Sienna agreed to give it some consideration, but it soon became clear that they would face opposition from Luke, who was determined that his first grandchild should remain with the family. Luke and Ollie argued over the situation, leading to Luke falling off the wagon again. Cindy discovered Luke in a terrible state the following day and tried to get him sobered up before anyone could see him. However, Ollie walked in and was shocked to see that his Dad was drinking again. Luke decided to take some time out from the village, but was stopped in his tracks when Ollie decided to tell him that he was DJ’s Father...

Finally, determined to get her ‘Cunningham’s Grande Bizarre’ off the ground, Cindy called in the services of Woody, who at first glances, appears to fit the very definition of cowboy builder. The pair headed down to the tunnels below the village, and Woody informed Cindy that she would need a structural survey done to make sure the tunnels were safe to build on. Realising this would delay her plans, not to mention interfere with next week’s stunt, Cindy tried to convince Woody to go ahead with the building work anyway, not realising that Charlie had found his way into the tunnels and could hear everything. The following day, Tom was concerned to discover that £30000 of his money was missing. Charlie told Tom what he’d overheard in the tunnels, but Tom refused to believe that his sister could be so reckless with health and safety. However, after speaking with Woody, Tom was furious to realise that Cindy had bribed him to start building without the necessary checks.

5 Things We Learned This Week:

1. Furthering the plot is more important than actual logic. Breda, there are such things as shops. Why not just buy food for Tony rather than smuggling it out of the house and risking your family catching you? Oh, yeah. Because the show need your family to believe you’re losing your marbles! Silly me!

2. According to Breda, a storm is coming. No, Breda. That was last year. I think you’ll find a crane is coming...

3. A poor diet is the biggest cause of hospital admission, according to Edward. I thought it was merely living in Hollyoaks village that was most likely to land you in hospital?

4. Edward has a severe lack of respect for his Grandchildren’s school teachers. What kind of monster fills three kids up on cake before sending them into school?

5. Woody is so relatable. I don’t like to miss the final chase either...

Spyro OC: Tesla, The Clockmaker's Son

Tesla was born in Stone Hill 7 years after the events of Spyro: Year of the Dragon. His egg was incubated by his father, Lindar, and his mate as they fretted over and debated on a name for their hatchling; they spent several months, until finally, they were able to settle upon 'Tesla'- rather unusual, but at least unique.

Young Tesla was born with white feathered wings, and shining blue-grey scales, the same shade as storm clouds over the ocean; His eyes were a beautiful bright blue, his horns were sparkling white spirals that stuck up straight, and his mane was as white as pure snow, thick, and sticking out at odd intervals, which prompted Lindar to nickname him "Sleepy Head", as well as "Tessie".

Tesla grew into a rather quiet but energetic hatchling, one who prefered to be alone with his thoughts rather than play with all the others his own age. As a result, he was often with his father in his workshop during the early days of his youth, asking questions about the mechanics of the clocks, and taking apart any toys his father would make for him-all for the sake of curiosity.

It wasn't long, however, until Tesla realized that his father was not an adequate enough source of knowledge; he needed to do his own digging.

He began in Dark Hollow, where he frequented Alban for his archive, and Oswin's library. He would wander between shelves of books and cubbies stacked full of scrolls for hours on end, looking for knowledge to fill his seemingly bottomless well of questions.

But even that wasn't enough for him. When he was old enough to wander between realms (with his father's permission and some supervision) he immediately went to the BeastMaker's realm to study the remains of technology the Gnorcs left behind, with his dragonfly, Twitch.

Tesla became something of a junker, hoarding pieces of metal and strange devices in his room and messing around with them for days on end, without socializing with anyone; this would have worried his father more, if Tesla wouldn't emerge from his room after a few days with a new impressive invention: small, tiny things usually, like a pencil sharpener or a lightbulb circuitry set-up.

Lindar was very proud of his young son's apparent ingenuity, and never ceased to brag and boast to the others about what a "genius" his Tessie was becoming. Although Tesla didn't make many friends his own age whilst growing up, his various exploits to Dark Hollow and Metal Head earned him some infamy amongst the elders, who liked him for his quick wit and innovative ideas (even if said ideas...challenged some aspects of the way they ran things).

Lindar never had to worry about his son...until around his 10th year, when...the accident happened. And everything changed.

Tesla's curiosity finally cost him dearly. He had been exploring in some ruins within the Beastmaker's realm, despite warnings from various adults about the instability of some of the crumpled buildings...but that didn't stop Tesla from seeking answers. He crawled into a narrow passage, letting Twitch lead the way with his light blue glow.

But something happened to the rusted, metallic poles holding the building up above the marsh, and they sank and broke, sending that side of the building collapsing into the murky water. Tesla was trapped beneath the rubble, struggling to breathe as the water level went higher and higher...seeping under his scales...blocking off his airways...water began filling his lungs. He was trapped.

If Cyprin hadn't been swimming nearby when he heard Tesla's cries...Twitch wouldn't have been the only one lost that day.

Tesla was sent home with his father, bundled up in several towels and blankets. Lindar never allowed Tesla out of his sight again.

Tesla was never the same. He isolated himself even more than before, hardly even coming out of his room...Lindar did begin to notice a strange light emitting from Tesla's room at nights...along with a strange noise, like buzzing.

Tesla began checking out scrolls from Alban's archives, mostly about "electricity" and another dragon named Volteer, from the long ago ages.

Lindar didn't pay much mind, as he was glad his son was starting to become himself again after his trauma, even if Tesla began to avoid all forms of water bodies...which was understandable.

Tesla meanwhile was practicing in his room, playing around and experimenting with his newfound abilities; his near-death experience had awakened his element: electricity.

Tesla was determined to do something with his power, something he would forever be remembered for. He wanted to go down in dragon history as the one who brought good to all realms. He worked hard, using what crude technology he had found to invent something everyone could use.

Thanks to a now-adult Spyro, and after days spent begging for his father's blessing, Tesla came to Avalar in hopes of discovering his next break through. There, he was introduced the the Professor, who took Tesla by the wing and gave him an apprenticeship. Tesla found all the knowledge he needed under the mole, and with a grant from Metropolis, he began construction of his first factory, which brought electronics and electricity to all realms.

He ran his own father out of business with his new digital clocks; Lindar only minded a little. At least now he could retire early, and he was proud that his son was successful enough to be able to run him out of business in the first place.

But then Tesla suddenly stopped visiting him. The only contact he had with his son during those years was the calls he would occasionally get, as well as letters and messages. Lindar couldn't understand why his son would go from his affectionate, loving Tessie to the cold, distant stranger he now was.

But little did Lindar know how much trouble Tesla was really in. Who he was involved with...

Tesla had to remain distant from his father, for his safety. If he went back on his side of the deal...Malefor would take back his healing, and Lindar would die. And it would be all Tesla's fault this time.

So now Tesla hides away in his factory, amongst machines and wires, building Malefor his army...all to protect his father.

Trivia

Tesla's design is based off of a stereotypical 'mad scientist', with the hair, gloves, goggles, and double-breasted lab coat.

He has a little "moustache" just like his father's.

Malefor was accidentally awakened by Spyro during one of Spyro's adventures. He lied to Tesla by poisoning Lindar's food and drink and making him deathly sick, making Tesla promise to build him an army in exchange for Lindar's safety. Malefor constantly threatens to hurt or kill Lindar in some way if Tesla fails to appease him.

Tesla's favorite flavor is lemonade: he loves lemon cake and cookies, as well as the drink itself.

He has a habit of speaking very fast, especially when excited; he is often asked by others to slow down, so as to be understood.

Tesla has a strange habit of throwing his arms and wings around as he rants; sometimes, however, he forgets that he's not actually talking, and so when others find him alone, pacing around and rapidly flailing his limbs, they're often startled and think he's gone mad.

Tesla's gloves were designed to help him better conduct his powers; he prefers to use his hands, rather than his breath ability.

He tries to push everyone away from him by using a "villainous" persona. This always backfires, however, as he usually ends up failing in his "evil endeavors" or accidentally ends up helpful to others unwittingly.

He has issues socializing with others, as without his "smart, villanous" persona he is actually quite awkward. He doesn't have friends as a result.

He likes digital things, and his goggles are actually digitized; they flash different colors, depending upon his mood.

His father often showered him in kisses as a hatchling; this annoyed and embarrassed him, especially when Lindar would do it in front of others.

Hi Jess, plz feel free to ignore this I'm just really pissed off right now and need to let out some steam. I was going through Meghan's tag to look a bit closer at the panel she did yesterday (great btw) but was really surprised and disheartened by how some people used IWD to have a go at Kate for not having an official engagement. And making it sound as that somehow made her less of a "proper" woman and that it wasn't surprising. I mean what the hell?! Let's spend IWD slagging other women (1)

off for not being “perfect”, shall we? How did I celebrate the day maybe you ask? Well, I had the day off so I slept in and then spent the day in my comfy clothes doing very little more than eating a giant bowl of crisps and watching some winter sports on tv (the women’s alpine giant slalom and women’s biathlon sprint). However I still consider myself a feminist and a woman, as I do the other 364 days of the year. Sorry, now I’ve gotten that of my chest I’ll probably calm down. Take care!:-) (2)

I totally understand the need to rant, it’s so dumb. You know what we should really be talking about? The fact that Tessy used the day to try and sell jewellery through her Instagram page. 

[laurasroyalblog]

That Tessy lectures anyone about anything (her post about the state of social media may have some truth but IDGAF) is laughable.  That anyone takes that seriously is laughable. She has shown herself to be totally immature and incapable of shutting the fuck up.

I feel sorry for her sons that she is doing all of this so publicly, and if I were the Grand Ducal Court I would just tell her to “get fucked” so their offer is generous in comparison.

And about her post about blogs, it seems to me like a way to throw all of the blame to blogs for being mean to her including those blogs that just criticize.  Just because someone says something negative doesn’t make it hate.  Tessy needs a wake up call.

Rant over.
