Top Gun Day

Host a watch party, with costumes and topical games, or simply gather your friends to watch the 1986 Tom Cruse classic Top Gun and its sequels.

In 1986, smack dab in the middle of the bodacious decade of neon, headbangers and The Brat Pack, the movie Top Gun roared into theaters like an F-14 Tomcat. It got a missile lock on the box office and shot down just over $356 million, making it what would eventually be the 11th highest grossing movie of Tom Cruise’s career. The movie centers on Maverick, a hot shot pilot, who is sent to the US Navy Fighter Weapons school, and all of the drama, pride and testosterone that scenario entails.

History of Top Gun Day

The actual Navy Fighter Weapons School was formed in 1969, during the time of the Viet Nam War, by the Chief of Naval Operations Admiral, Thomas Hinman Moorer, at the recommendation of Captain Frank Ault. The realization came that the Navy’s fighter pilots needed more training.

During Operation Rolling Thunder, the United States lost nearly 1,000 aircraft over North Vietnamese skies. The USAF and Navy both sought the causes, but came to two different conclusions. The Air Force believed that the fault was mechanical: that MiG pilots caught American pilots in a rear blind spot. The Navy decided that the failure was in training. The Air Force responded by developing new technology, while the Navy started the Top Gun school, eventually paving the way for 110 minutes of heart pounding action, backed by a roaring theme song.

Top Gun Day Timeline

1969 Top Gun school admits its first class

The Navy Fighter Weapons School is opened for extra combat training at the height of the Viet Nam war.

1981 Tom Cruise debuts on the big screen

Playing a minor role in the film, Endless Love, Tom Cruise was beat out for the starring role (opposite Brooke Shields) by Martin Hewitt, an actor who would end up doing mostly random TV appearances afterward.

1986 Top Gun is released

Quickly earning a deep love from audiences, Top Gun becomes the highest grossing film of the year.

1987 US Navy uses the film for recruiting

In a “Join the Navy” commercial, songs from the movie are used along with shots that look like that came straight from Top Gun footage.

2022 Top Gun 2

After waiting more than 30 years, the world finally gets to see Tom Cruise in action again as “Maverick”.

How to Celebrate Top Gun Day

Top Gun Day celebrates the movie, but at its core is all about attitude. It teaches about the importance of teamwork…and shirtless volleyball. So how do you take the highway to the danger zone?

Get started with some of these ideas:

Reenact the best Top Gun Movie Scenes

A good way to begin might be by reliving the adventures of Goose, Maverick and the Iceman. Go to a karaoke bar and sing “She’s Lost that Loving Feeling” and “Take My Breath Away.” Why not try to play a little volleyball with a group? Shirtlessness is optional, of course. Download some Kenny Loggins and blast “Danger Zone” out of those car windows as loud as is possible.

But maybe karaoke isn’t the thing and the weather isn’t good enough for sports. It is still possible to find other ways to enjoy the day!

Host a Top Gun Day Party

Get friends and family together for a cool party in honor of Top Gun Day. Invite people to dress up like their favorite characters. Entertain by playing Top Gun trivia games before settling in to watch the movie.

During the movie, don’t forget to grab a pair of dark aviator glasses and an old leather jacket. For an added challenge, try to find a pair of overalls to convert into a flight suit! It might even be fun to make it into a double feature with some other jet-fighter movies of the era, like the lesser known Iron Eagle, which actually came out a few months before Top Gun.

Snacks served at the party could include a variety of airplane and naval themed treats, such as patriotic m&ms in red, white and blue, cookies in the shapes of stars, airplanes or clouds, and even aviator glasses. Decorations can, of course, feature anything red, white and blue, stars & stripes, naval, airplanes, American flags or even quotes from the Top Gun movie.

Listen to the Top Gun Soundtrack

Of course, the music played at the Top Gun Day party is key. After all, the movie won more awards for its soundtrack and score than in any other category! It’s packed with quintessential 80s classic songs, like these:

Playing with the Boys by Kenny Loggins. Featuring in Tom Cruise’s shirtless beach volleyball scene, this song plays when Maverick (wearing full-length jeans) and Goose beat their adversaries. Of course, then Maverick bails because he has a date with his love interest, Charlie, played by Kelly McGillis.

Take My Breath Away by Berlin. It must be good because this song plays in Top Gun no less than four times! Incidentally, the band named themselves Berlin in an attempt to make people think they were German, but they were really an American new wave band.

Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins. Appearing in the movie three times, this is the ultimate fighter jet song.

You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ by The Righteous Brothers. This one is a classic from 1964 that made a comeback more than 20 years later because of the Top Gun Movie. It plays in the movie when Maverick and the other naval officers lip sync it to Charlie in the bar while it plays on the jukebox.

Show Off with Top Gun Quotes

The Top Gun movie offers a ton of quotable lines that can be used to make an impression. For instance, you can ask your friends for permission to buzz the tower. If they say no, do it anyway. If they ask YOU to buzz the tower, be sure to say “Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.” Just be prepared for them to buzz you anyway.

Or, even easier, simply tell everyone you see that you have the need, the need for speed. “You can be my wingman forever”, “Let’s turn and burn!” and “Remember boys, no points for second place” are also some other great lines from the film.

Learn Some Fun Facts About Top Gun

Even those who consider themselves to be pretty big fans of the movie might have something new to learn when it comes to Top Gun Day trivia! Here are some fun facts to impress friends and coworkers alike on the day:

Top Gun is set in San Diego, California and many of the sites for filming can still be visited, including Charlie’s little blue house and Kansas City Barbeque, which still features Goose’s piano.

Tom Cruise, at only 5’7”, wore lifts in his shoes to balance out the taller 5’10” Kelly McGillis as his love interest in the movie.

The movie didn’t originally have a love scene. That scene between Maverick and Charlie was added later, after test audiences said it needed one.

Bryan Adams was invited to sing on the Academy Award winning soundtrack, but he backed out because he thought the movie promoted war.

Play Top Gun Video Games

There are also two Top Gun video games currently available. The first is simply called Top Gun and was released for iOS devices by Freeverse Software. The second is called Top Gun: Hardlock. It comes from 505 Games, and is playable on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Talk to a Member of the Armed Forces

There are many ways one could enjoy and relieve the excitement of the movie, but perhaps one of the more meaningful things you could do is to find a member of the armed forces, particularly an aviator, and thank them for keeping the skies safe. Ultimately, without someone up there, we might not have the movie, or the day, down here.

However you choose to celebrate, be sure to raise a glass for Goose, Maverick, Iceman and the rest of Top Gun class of 1986. Let the world know that you haven’t lost that loving feeling, even after all this time.

For the second half of the bonus Cartoon Network Studios produced stuff (being miniseries, Adult Swim stuff, and Max stuff), favorite character from: Over the Garden Wall, Long Live the Royals, Primal, Black Dynamite (Technically they produced only season 2), JJ Villard's Fairy Tales, Adventure Time Distant Lands, Close Enough, Unicorn Warriors Eternal ( I hear it was supposed to be for Cartoon Network until it got moved to Adult Swim), and Fionna & Cake?

I appricate you finding new ones of these to do. Okay we can skip Long Live the Royals, Primal (Though I have a high opinon of what animation i've seen from it I just procastinate), and JJ Villard.

Over the Garden Wall: I never finished this one back in the day but I did love it's moody atmosphere. It's excellent stuff. My faviorite character was the lead kid Wirt. Elijah Wood did a fantastic job.

Black Dynamite: DYNO-MYTE, DYNO-MYTE: That frog Curtis. He's a fucked up kermit parody. I.. really need to cover that episode and it's sequel. As for the show I loved it. Still do and need to rewatch it. It perfectly captures the charm of the film and takes it one step further, while also having a lot of neat points about black culture my white ass never knew about. IT also has Richard Nixon as it's main antagonist, what's not to love?

Adventure Time Distant Lands: I've only seen Obsidan and Together Again, both absolute bangers. The former gives us allt he gay we'd been missing and is a truly touching tale with some truly awesome music, while Together Again is the finale we deserved and serves as a nice evergreenf inale: they can keep the franchise going, but this serves as a proper finale to the series core. A lot of the cast isn't present.. but that's okay with me. It's the end of FINN'S life and afterlife, and his story. The others don't seem to be over just yet.

Close Enough: Alex. I made no secret of it during the shows running and make even less of one now it's dead and sadly buried. I love Jason Mantzokus in most things and while his viking obession never clicked, I related to a harry man not being quite where he wants to be in his life whose kind of a disater. More of one than me but still. This show is one of my faviortes of the 2020's and if I make it to the end of this cursed decade, and do a proper best shows of the decade list, it'll likely stay that way. It was the best evolution of regular show possible, a spiritual sequel scooting the premise ahead, going from 20 somethings dicking around to late 30 somethings trying to deal with the stress of adult life: a complicated divorce, raising a child, and having to rescue said child from a birthday dimension and talk to a Kate Miccui present monster that makes out with the dimensions god when you leave. So fairly relatable grounded adult scenarios.. still given the insane JG Quintel touch: from logans run as a night club, to your papa having to both help you escape hell and explain why you shoudln't fear the hosptial, to a small child conquering her pre school and turning it into a post apocalypse because of breakfast for dinner. It was a true masterpiece and should be remembered.

Unicorn Warriors eternal: I need to go back and finish this one as I only watched three episodes but it';s a gorgeous, unique fun as hell series with a great premise. Faviorite character is hard to say with what little iv'e seen.

Fionna and Cake: Simon. Loved him in the og and tom kenny really gets to flex. I loved this show. It made a few slots on my best of list last year and will likely do so again whenever season 2 drops, as even with me shortening it from 20 to 12, it's still a standout. An emotional story about accepting your life where you are and not wallowing in your regrets, that creatively uses the what if scnearios to create a ton of good worlds, from a seeming swap with a sinister secret to seeing what it'd be like if the lich really won. It's a masterpiece and I look forward to seeing how they follow this up.

Also since we're in the cn lands and I don't THINK we've done this one yet.. why not adult swim? It's original shows and some of it's aquireid shows.. i.e. make sure mission hill and the oblongs are included as while fox shows, they feel more like Adult Swim. Baby blues

#fionna and cake #distnat lands #adventure time #close enough #unicorn warriors eternal #black dynamite #dyno myte #dyno myte!

ADBK: Drillago

Epithet: The Literal Definition of Getting Screwed Over

Voice Actor: Tom Kenny

Tribe: The Undead Oligarchy

Biography: Kozaky's made several monsters from the Machinations' best generals; Gil Garth, Bowganian, and today's oddity, Drillago. Looking like a nightmare from the dentist's office, he was made to mutilate beings from the Wasteland, using his inner guidance system to navigate both above and below ground without need for those pesky eyes, ears, nose or mouth.

He can't really talk beyond beeps and blips, but he doesn't need to to get his various points across. But should he ever lose any one of his many, many drills, he has a replication core in his body that can replicate the very same drill he just lost.

However, although rather intelligent and deadly, the Machinations have begun implementing their own ground-based Machines to combat him, with other Tribes studying them in turn from a distance.

Drillago's most noteworthy enemy is Ancient Tool, a strange Machine that was discovered by The Kindred after a fateful skirmish in the Labyrinth of Treachery revealed the forgotten Ruins of the Ancients.

2023 gigs.

A list rather than a review but there will be the odd descriptive comment when warranted. The list will include accompanying fine dining.

13.1 Harry Hill. New Theatre, 'Boro. Nuts. Funny af, but nuts.

23.1 Frank Turner, Lottery Winners, Wildwood Buoys. O2 Academy, Leicester. The Marquis Wellington.

26.1 Francis of Delirium, Sloe Noon, Collars. Bedford Esquires. McDs. Great gig. 1st support, quirky (the drummer was also the guitarist), 2nd were superb, reminded me of Slothrust and FoD are always excellent.

2.2 Sprints, Langkamer, Eades. Bedford Esquires. Herd. Amazing, just brilliant. Missed Eades (fucked off 'bout that), Langkamer got me well in the mood and Sprints nailed it. Burger at Herd was one of the best I have ever eaten. Top night.

14.2 Mogwai, Brainiac. Rock City. Horn in the Hand. Brainiac are odd, Mogwai were fucking loud. HitH always delivers when it comes to burgers.

30.3 Jadu Heart, Gglum. Assembly Rooms, Islington. MEATLiquor, GDK. Gglum stole the show. She rocked, actually.

Great burger followed by a really great kebab. 04.04 Gretel Hänlyn, Mary in the Junkyard. The Moth Club. McDs.

No overground afterwards but jumped in an Uber to Finsbury Park with two fellas who'd been to the gig #lifesavers

06.07 Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, Girl Band. Craufurd Arms. GB were excellent - saw the guitarist/lead singer, Georgie, after the Suede gig 10.03 - chatting after their set, she remembered me! GCWCF lost the plot with the chatting, rowdy audience...it was embarrassing.

07.07 Breanna Barbara, Memory of Speke. Moth Club. Burke's Warehouse. BB was so good, fantastic. MoS were very good. Burger & chips were excellent.

19.09 My Baby. MK11 MB were really good value - rock enthused dance music and the lead singer's voice is exemplary.

22.08 Boygenius, Ethal Cain. Piece Hall, Halifax. 242 mile round trip was just about worth it. Both acts were OK. Venue is special, though.

28.08 Karen Jonas. Great Easton Village Hall. 29/08 Future Islands. Cambridge Corn Exchange. Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. FI are so good live. Cajun chicken burger was fine.

05.09 Samia, Art School Girlfriend. Kentish Town Forum. One of the best gigs this year.

23.09 Flock of Seagulls, Enjoyable Listens. Bedford Esquires. Brewhouse & Kitchen. FoS were good value, EL were excellent as always and the burger was fine.

26.09 The National. Ally Pally. Views from the venue were spectacular.

04.10 Sprints. Scala. Ballache getting to the gig 'cos of the train strike, but well worth it. Aftershow gathering at The Lexington warranted an overnight stay!

05.10 Hard-Fi, Tom A. Smith. The Junction. Impressed with HF, even more impressed with TAS and his band.

06.10 The Undertones, Tom Robinson Band. The Junction. TRB were amazing. He is a great entertainer and his guitarist was superb.

23.10 Lande Hekt, Charley Stone's Actual Band. The Lexington. 26.10 Yumi and the Weather, Sunny Gym. The Craufurd Arms. Only caught the final song from SG but it was excellent. YatW were banging.

30.10 Cash Savage and the Last Drinks, James P. Honey. The Lexington. CSatLD were amazing. The violinist pulled out one of the best live solos of any instrument I have even witnessed.

08.11 Deadletter, The Joy Hotel. The Craufurd Arms. TJH were bloody good...including bass, 5 guitars! D were superb - great front man.

09.11 Nothing But Thieves. World Resorts Arena, Brum (old NEC). £7.50 a fucking pint. NBT is about right.

12.11 This Is The Kit, Gina Birch. The Glee Club, Brum.

15.11 The Murder Capital. Electric Ballroom. Mental gig. Haven't seena mosh pit like it since the 80s. Thoroughly enjoyed this gig.

16.11 Bleach Lab, Wings of Desire. Scala. WoD were right down my street and delivered - a nice surprise as I'd not heard of them before. One of those gigs where support > headliner.

23.11 Bdrmm, Damefrisor. Bedford Esquires. I flipping enjoyed this. B drummer cracked open a bottle of beer with the end of his drumstick which was the coolest thing I have ever seen.

03.12 The Rural Alberta Advantage, Zoon. Lafayette. I was not in the mood for travelling down to this on a Monday night. However, it was well worth it. RAA were every bit as 9, or so, years ago when I first saw them.

04.12 Coach Party, Bedroom High Club, House of Women. O'Meara. A free gig put on by Beavertown brewery and I'd have gladly paid. Each band were great. BHC were brand new to me and were the pick of a fantastic bunch. I will definitely catch all 3 live again.

Who's your favorite Batman villain?

The Penguin. Was gonna put off this ask for a bit but I got surprised today with an incredible rendition of him, so now the dastardly bumbershoot waddled and squawked his way into my thoughts again and I gotta talk about him.

Penguin's not just my favorite Batman villain, he's my favorite DC character and comic book supervillain, the main reason I even want to write a Batman story someday.

I love the imagery that surrounds him, the trick umbrellas and the birds he so lovely dotes after and the WAKs and the Iceberg Lounge, which has become maligned in recent years as a sign of his downfall, but I very much appreciate as a concept in general still. I love a lot of the performances and actors who've taken him over the years. Burgess Meredith and Danny DeVito are some of my favorite performers of all time, Paul Williams has a wonderful voice and starred in my favorite film of all time. Tom Kenny, David Ogden Stiers, Robin Lord Taylor, Penguin's just had such great, terrific performances and adaptations. Batman Returns is my favorite Batman film by far and it was what got me to start paying more attention to Oswald.

I love the roles he can play in any given Batman story and how he's managed to endure all of his falls from grace by becoming an indispensable part of Batman's worldbuilding. I love his varied dynamics with Batman and Riddler and Catwoman and Gordon and his henchmen and those who get close to him. I love his style and the way he conducts himself when he's allowed to be more than just a generic mob boss. Penguin's design has, by simply staying unchanged over the decades, gone from "common rich person wear draped over a funny cartoon gangster" to "he is so out of touch and desperate for respectability that he dresses like an 1930s capitalist caricature, like a little kid's idea of what a rich and respectable man looks like, and Penguin's still stuck in that mindset". I love how absurd and plausible he is.

I like that Penguin can very easily fit just about any kind of Batman story, from the campy supervillain plots to the gritty urban crime ones. You can tell stories about Penguin falling in love, pretending to be legit because he doesn't want his aunt to learn he's a criminal, and opening up a comedy act with a talking penguin, or stories about Penguin terrorizing the city with giant robots and guided missiles and driving people to suicide. I like that he's a character who both relishes in his lifestyles of supervillain and crimelord alike, and yet is perpetually restless because the minute he acquires what he wants, he immediately starts wanting something else. He could have Batman and the Batfamily and all other supervillains wiped out and have Gotham in his pocket and maybe even become President of the United States, and he'd still want more. Because Oswald is nothing but wants, the wants of a traumatized manchild in a funny costume throwing money and toys and brute force and tantrums at the world until it makes sense, which only makes him far too fitting as a Batman villain.

Everyone forgets that Penguin was canonically the first villain to ever successfully escape Batman at the end of a story, completely bypassing the usual "villain swears revenge behind bars" ending to instead escape scot-free, and went on to establish himself as one of his biggest, most inventive and most cunning villains, second only, if not equal, to Joker. I love that he's ruthless and inventive and classy and cunning and brutal and how his main trick is using the fact that everyone underestimates the short fat man to his advantage. He's taken traits that got many of us in real life relentlessly tormented for them, and he uses them to pull the wool over those who think they are better than him.

It'ss a trick that works because even in real life people can't stop looking at this weird and silly little man and think "that guy's too silly for a Batman villain, he's not a murder clown or musclebound monster, what's he gonna do" and, yeah, that's the point, that's been the point from day one, he doesn't look scary or intimidating or even that evil, and he's the guy who pulls the rug under supergenius fighting machine Batman and becomes the top crimelord of Gotham City, a city ruled by terrors and manias and monsters infinitely bigger and scarier and stronger than he is, and he STILL made it to the top and he STILL maintains it, time and time again even when newer and flashier and scarier villains come and go. Batman is, at it's core, a fundamentally absurd character, and Penguin acts as a reminder of that. Because the minute we accept a man can terraform himself with training and money into a living legend on the level of gods, there's no reason why a tiny fat man with similar drive and resources can't likewise throw his weight with monsters and warriors far above his station.

Despite how ridiculously often he's disrespected by writers and fans alike, how far he's fallen off his former position in Batman's Rogues Gallery, and how often he's used as just a punching bag for assorted Bat-people, Penguin never goes away. He's the biggest survivor of all of Batman's villains, more so than the genuinely immortal ones, because he's the cockroach that won't go away no matter how many times you flush it.

Because once you get past the piles of money and the lounge fortresses and the armies of goons and the piles of cartoony gadget toys not too dissimilar from Batman's own, what the Penguin has is brains, and spite and hatred on a scale no other Batman villain has. He hates Batman, because Batman is nothing but yet another bully who thinks he can push Oswald around just because he's bigger and stronger. He hates the lower class for it's unsophisticated brutes and boors that made his childhood hell. He hates the upper class that's rejected and also tormented him since infancy, that he desperately spent so long trying to be a part of. He hates the monsters and supervillains he works with and has to associate with to stay alive. He hates the city that he fights to rule over tooth and nail.

And although he may never admit it, he hates himself, because he'a short paunchy man with a beakish nose who's brutal and immoral not just because those are the cards life dealt him, but because he likes what it affords him too much to give it away. Because he's never going to have the love and acceptance he desperately craves, he will never be able to accept it or keep it. Because he can never fully be a gentleman, or a monster, but instead a sad mix who belongs in neither of their worlds. Because at the end, he doesn't look like anyone else. He looks like one of him.

And still, I like Penguin because he's a Gentleman Villain. The one Gentleman Villain of Batman's rogues gallery, even if that's faded from a lot of his recent appearences that pushed the crimelord aspects to the forefront. He dresses like a gentleman thief, he's canonically a huge A.J Raffles fan, he's one of the most cunning brains of Gotham, he's got the money, resources, and adventurous spirit. Problem is, he's The Penguin. And suddenly, all that he has becomes overblown, outlandish, theatrical, and out of touch purely because it's him trying to do all those things. He's a gentleman adventurer gone rogue, the Count Fosco of the DCU, and that only makes it amusing, even endearing, when Penguin does engage in the swashbuckling antics he's so fond of.

When all his plans go to hell and so he starts fencing Batman, or when he commands henchmen with superflous fancy language, or even when Oswald gives the whole "hero" thing a shot and we see he's actually not bad at it, maybe he actually could have been one if it wasn't for the bile drowning his heart and the hellscape that warped innocent young Cobblepot into Gotham's Penguin, a name that immediately denotes something silly and ridiculous, and he carries it with pride, because he will make you respect that name.

And that's just a couple of reasons. I really, really love this character to the point of obsession and the main reason why I ever wanted to write stories for DC was to get to write Penguin and at least try to do the character a little more justice. But if nothing else, Penguin endures, regardless of what happens to him, in and out of universe. If nothing else, that's a very admirable quality in a supervillain. Oswald is the best.

Slytherin!Levi Headcanons

Character: Levi

Genre: Wizarding World!au, with some canon divergence

Warnings: SFW. Brief mentions of other characters

A/N: Say hello to D-13 before Levi's birthday! I love Harry Potter and I am an extremely HUGE Potterhead, so of course I'll be doing something like this for Levi. Enjoy these headcanons of Levi as a student in Hogwarts.

Disclaimer: Please note that the veterans have varying ages in Canonverse. But for the sake of these headcanons, their ages will range from 15 - 17 years old and they will be in their fifth to seventh year in Hogwarts.

Also, school starts on 1 September in Hogwarts and therefore, Levi starts his first year at Hogwarts when he was 12 years old instead of 11, just like Hermione Granger.

Name: Levi Ackerman

Birthday: 25 December 1987

Blood status: Pure-blood

Hogwarts House: Slytherin

Allegiance: Ackerman Family

Pet: Barking owl

Wand wood: Blackthorn

Wand core: Dragon heartstring

Wand length and flexibility: Twelve and a half inch, solid

Patronus: Black stallion

Favourite subjects: Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts

Least liked subjects: Divination, History of Magic

Levi Ackerman was born on 25 December 1987, few years after the First Wizarding War. Levi was the only son of Kuchel Ackerman, and nephew of Kenny Ackerman.

The Ackerman family is one of the most respected Pure Blood families in the Wizarding World. Despite being a Pure Blood family, they did not swear allegiance to Lord Voldemort and did not follow the Pure-blood Supremacy where many of the other families did, even during the height of the Wizarding War.

Unlike the Black family who were known for striking off 'blood traitors' from their family tree, the Ackerman family did not follow such traditions and practices, and embraced diversity in their family. Levi was taught by his family that all individuals are equal, and regardless of blood status, anyone worthy of a wand was worthy to wield magic.

Growing up, Levi was alone most of the time but he had a happy childhood. He didn't have any siblings, as such his playmates were his toys and occasionally his other cousins and the children of his mother's friends.

Levi's favourite hobby was reading. The Ackermans have a huge library with many books on wizarding history, the Dark Arts, magical creatures, charms, potions, duelling and the like. Levi loved reading and spending time in the library. Uncle Kenny secretly taught him how to engage in fist fights on top of wizard duelling, something that Kuchel was not happy about.

Levi was 12 and about to start his first year at Hogwarts when the Second Wizarding War began in 1998. When school began on 1 September, Levi was sorted into Slytherin, just like majority of his relatives. Even though he was young, Levi hated how everyone associated Slytherin with nothing but the Dark Arts, and the misconceptions everyone had of Slytherin. Levi was determined to change people's minds.

Levi was a hardworking student and liked by his professors and peers. Although he was aloof, sarcastic, and crude with his words, Levi treated everyone as equals. Many who were in Hogwarts long enough felt that the young Levi Ackerman strangely resembled and reminded them of Tom Riddle, before he was known to others as Lord Voldemort. The main difference between them was that Levi didn't dabble into the Dark Arts like Tom Riddle did.

Levi hardly got into trouble and rarely got detention. With his good grades and good behaviour, Levi was naturally made Prefect in his fifth year in Hogwarts along with fellow Slytherin Nanaba.

Levi also did well for his O.W.Ls, achieving 'Acceptable' in History of Magic, Divination and Astronomy. Levi also got 'Exceeds Expectations' in Transfiguration, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology. Levi achieved an 'Outstanding' for his Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts. Levi went on to pursue Charms, Transfiguration, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Potions and Herbology in his N.E.W.T level.

Levi was initially at loggerheads with Head Boy Erwin Smith from Ravenclaw. Like him, Erwin was a pure-blood and hailed from a family with rich wizarding history. Erwin excelled in academics, he was the House Captain and Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team, and also performed his Prefect duties very well. Levi hated how pompous Erwin was sometimes and he found Erwin to be a little of a showoff. However, he came to admire Erwin's intelligence and leadership, and formed an unlikely friendship with him. Levi liked Erwin as a study buddy, and they frequently engaged in friendly wizard duels. They enjoyed exchanging books from their family library.

Erwin also introduced Hange Zoe, a fellow Ravenclaw in Levi's year, to him. Hange was loud but very knowledgeable, and Levi found himself seeing Hange as a friendly rival. Levi and Hange would study in the library together and vet each other's homework. Hange's favourite subject was Care of Magical Creatues and idolised Newt Scamander, writer of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Another person Levi formed a friendship with was Mike Zacharias, a half-blood from Gryffindor. Levi found him to be an oddball and didn't liked him. Mike was quiet and had a weird habit of sniffing people which Levi found it disgusting. But during one of their night patrolling along the schools grounds, Levi witnessed how Mike dealt with two brats who were breaking school rules. Mike also once told Levi that he smelt good, which Levi took as a compliment. Levi realised that despite his quiet and withdrawn behaviour, Mike had a good heart, and his opinion of him changed. Mike introduced Levi to basketball and muggle contraptions like the Gameboy and the computer, and once a week during their holidays, Levi has a sleepover at Mike's where he experiences his friend's muggle lifestyle.

Upon his graduation from Hogwarts in 2004, Levi did not immediately seek a job as his mother had fallen ill. It was only in 2007 after his mother recovered when he chose to seek a job. With only one goal in mind, Levi chose to work as an Auror like his good friend Mike who went on with Auror training since graduation.

By then, Erwin was an Auror working directly under Harry Potter who was the Head of the Auror Office. Erwin has recommended Levi to Harry and he immediately took a liking to him. Levi passed all interviews and tests with flying colours and with a recommendation letter from the Head himself, Levi started working as a junior auror. Coincidentally, he was placed in the same team as Mike, who had Erwin as his supervisor. The two men were glad to see Levi again, and pleased to know they had a talented individual like Levi on their team.

The Wizarding World was still facing its aftermath from the Second Wizarding War, and there were still loyal supporters of Lord Voldemort on the run. Levi was determined to eradicate these roots of evil and swore his allegiance to the new reformed Ministry to abolish old wizarding laws and biases of the past.

Spoilers for comics in April!

These are from the official solicits for that month, which you can see at CBR.

The Black Label Rogues series continues that month, and Girder will appear in a Flash movie prequel comic.

ROGUES #2 Written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON Art by LEOMACS Cover by SAM WOLFE CONNELLY Variant cover by LEOMACS 1:25 variant cover by JORGE FORNÉS $6.99 US | 48 pages | 2 of 4 | Prestige Plus | 8 1/2" x 10 7/8" ON SALE 4/26/22 17+ You might think you know Gorilla City, but you don't. Not a soul who has gone looking for the secret kingdom has ever returned. You'd think the Rogues would know better than to go searching…but they either don't know or just don't care. The down-on-their-luck ex-cons are back together for the heist of a lifetime, but every time Captain Cold thinks he's got things all figured out, the rug is pulled out from under him. And even if they make it to Gorilla City alive, they have a version of Gorilla Grodd unlike anything you've ever seen waiting for them…Continuing this groundbreaking neo-noir take on some of the DCU's greatest villains!

The cover makes it difficult to figure out who’s going on the mission, assuming the lineup is actually representative of the story. Len is obvious and so is Lisa (third from the left), but who are the others? The guy in front might be a Mirror Master and maybe the guy with energy in his hand could be Weather Wizard or Kadabra, but that’s just spitballing. And those appear to be Trickster pants on the second person.

Looks like Digger’s in for a rough time in the continuation of this Black Label series.

SUICIDE SQUAD: BLAZE #2 Written by SIMON SPURRIER Art and cover by AARON CAMPBELL Variant cover by QISTINA KHALIDAH $6.99 US | 48 pages | 2 of 3 | Prestige Plus | 8 ½" x 10 7/8" ON SALE 4/12/22 17+ The inmates who volunteered for the Blaze program are discovering fascinating things about their newfound powers—and about the best ways to torment their Suicide Squad watchdogs. Are they discovering anything about their core mission of stopping the cannibalistic metahuman who's terrorizing the planet and who, uh…might have just defeated Superman…? Well, slightly less so. But they're all going to be dead in three months. Or a lot less. Let them have fun, eh?

As you can see on the cover, Len appears in the New 52 omnibus.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW 52 OMNIBUS VOL. 2 Written by GEOFF JOHNS, PETER J. TOMASI, TOM KING, and others Art by JASON FABOK, IVAN REIS, and others Cover by JASON FABOK $150.00 US | 1,256 pages | 7 1/16" x 10 7/8" | Hardcover ISBN: 978-1-77951-558-2 ON SALE 6/21/22 One of the boldest eras in Justice League history continues in this massive collection, featuring the second half of superstar writer Geoff Johns's run on DC's premier super-team. Volume two collects the rest of Johns' Justice League issues plus the Forever Evil and Darkseid War story lines, all leading up to DC's Rebirth event.

I sure wasn’t expecting Girder in a movie prequel...

Reluctant Vacation // Charlie Gillespie

Summary: The niece of the infamous Kenny Ortega had its advantages and disadvantages, you received insight on his projects but felt guilty saying no. Kenny seeing the exhaustion pulling you down invites to the set of Julie and the Phantoms where you rediscover your love with the field.

Warning: Swearing and fluff.

Words 2.2k

A/N: I do take requests. It may take a bit to get to them but I’ll post some.

Please ask to be tagged in my inbox because I can’t promise you will be through commenting on the posts!

Masterlist

The sigh came from deep in your chest wanting to drop to the floor for an exhaustion induced nap, but an airport wasn’t the best place. Large sunglasses obscured people from seeing the deep bags under your eyes on the way to the film lot. It was coming full circle, the change different from the frantic schedule you had had recently. When Kenny called you hadn’t hesitated in packing and buying a ticket.

“Miss Y/L/N?” The voice pulled you from your thoughts as a man holding a card with your name displayed. He was of Puerto Rican descendent with a young girl beside him with similar features, “I’m Ricardo. This is my daughter Madison.”

“It’s nice to meet you. I’m-“

“Y/N Y/L/N.” Madison supplied with a beaming grin on her face having recognized you from your role as Sabrina in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina along with movies.

All you could do was send a fragile smile in response after a long sleepless flight to Canada.

Madison’s eyes saddened at the exhaustion you carried, “I can fangirl later. You looked really tired.”

“Kenny saw and asked me to come over the guise of help, but he knows I need a break. He’s lucky I don’t need to be on set for a few weeks.” You replied, covering a yawn as you found yourself at a car, the walk a blur.

Unintentionally you found yourself asleep in the backseat the moment you settled back there for the drive. You had filmed in Vancouver before, so it wasn’t a huge deal, and the Reyes’ duo didn’t have the heart to wake you up.

“We’re here,” Madison whispered with the back-car door opened. Your eyelids fluttering at her voice, giving Madison a closer look at your face.

Walking on set, you saw Kenny giving one of his pep talks before he cut himself off at the sight of you. The actors surrounding him furrowed their brows as the legendary director power walked to a person concealed behind Mads.

“Sweetheart.” Kenny beamed, pulling his niece in for a hug before leaning back to scan her features, “You need a nap.”

“I need to meet your new cast.” You snickered stepping around the man to the three actors he had abandoned to see you. You found amusement in their widening eyes at the sight of the Y/N walking to them.

“Oh, my shit.” Owen gasped freaking out as the actress co-starring in the new Spider-Man trilogy came closer.

Last night Owen, Charlie and Jeremy had hosted a movie night in the rented apartment the first two rented. They had quickly made their way through Captain America: Civil War before watching the following movies with Spider-Man. You had a cameo in Captain America: Civil War before becoming a star in Homecoming and Far From Home.

“We manifested her.” Charlie hissed frantically fixing his set costume growing a blush at the smile you wore. He could feel the hair stylist on standby glaring at his tousled locks.

The girl in question came to a stop before the three guys portraying the phantoms of the show in the second season. You couldn’t help but chuckle at the expressions each one of them had.

“Hello.” You greeted flattered when the tall blonde one turned a blossom pink at the voice of an angel. Charlie and Owen had developed celebrity crushes on you.

In revenge, Tori, a returning choreographer and background character, saw Charlie’s expression along with a familiar girl. After filming season one ended the previous year you had stopped by during the filming process of CAOS to catch up with Kenny. Tori had been there and you two became friends.

“Hey!” Tori grinned, pulling you into a hug, “These three binged your MCU movies last night, and Charlie’s wallpaper is you.”

“Tori!”

“This is what you get for telling Booboo about the poster!” Tori called to the Canadian boy jogging out his area. Charlie’s cheek darkened more than Owen’s as your smile grew bigger.

“No worries Ghost. Luke definitely my favourite character and gotta say you should have been on Charmed more than two episodes.” You supplied walking backwards to Kenny once more yearning for a night’s rest after the flight.

“Holy shit.” Charlie choked smacking Jeremy’s arm repeatedly, “She knows me. Oh, oh, OH. She’s seen me-“

“-Getting it on for a scene.” Jeremy snickered as his friend grew more and more flustered, “That was tame compared to her and Tom going at it.”

Charlie’s face dropped being reminded of the explicit scene you had done with Tom Holland in the movie that came out near the end of 2020. The Devil All the Time was the only film out of the MCU you had done with Tom. You had played the promiscuous daughter of a devout, loyal churchgoer and close friend of the preacher.

“Didn’t they date for a few months?” Owen questioned thinking back to the media mayhem during the virtual press for the film.

Owen was correct with the chemistry between you and Tom it was natural you would do interviews together via shared video chats. Charlie watched every single one that came out with interest. He hadn’t even expected the film to do so dark and explicit, but you had a natural talent.

“English, handsome, actor-“ Charlie started to list off on the English actor with a far more extensive list of credits. Charlie felt like a Canadian child in the city of Los Angeles compared to your leading man.

“-runs a charity with his family.” Jeremy continued raising one eyebrow, “At least he isn’t tall. You’d be fully screwed.”

Charlie shoved his teasing friends away with a smirk of his own as the trio continued on to the film. Charlie put his feelings on the back burner to focus on the storyline and emotions of the scene.

“Spider-Man Three baby!” The English accent shouted from the phone with only an ocean separating the two actors. Tom hadn’t even greeted you before screaming at the news you both received; despite the scripts from a few weeks prior the sequel had fully been greenlighted

Your head tossed back at the childlike glee on the older adult, clearly displaying the two years really mean he was two years old. After meeting on the set of Civil War along with Harrison, you had become friends. Followed with the following MCU appearances, it had been a surprise to be cast in Devil All the Time.

“Insane.” You started making your way through the set to where Kenny had texted you from. It was closing to the end of your vacation.

In the few weeks, you had reconnected with Tori on her breaks along with becoming good friends with the cast members. Something clicked between you and the core four of the show even if Madison sometimes still got starstruck.

“Did you read the script?” Tom questioned quirking his infamous eyebrow his fans wholly adored. You found it amusing, to be honest, that every character he portrayed had the same eyebrow.

“Not fully. I’m surrounded by people, and unlike you, I prefer not to jeopardize my career with marvel.” You teased glancing up as Charlie and Owen made their way over, “I’ll be flying out in a few days for filming.”

Tom nodded his head, “I got get back. Jacob and Haz are visiting. Remember to film the announcement! Bye Love!”

You gave a thumbs up before Tom ended the facetime glancing up at the duo who each raised their eyebrows. Charlie’s mask nearly breaking at Tom’s goodbye. Charlie could feel the cover of his feelings falling more and more each day.

“Announcement?” Owen questioned, slipping his jacket on over his shoulders having changed from his Alex outfit.

“Nothing.” You waved it off, starting to walk backwards with a smile that Charlie thought made your eyes shine brighter than stars.

The boys followed behind on the walk to the house Jeremy and Carolynn had decided to rent during filming. You had been crashing there as Jeremy didn’t want Carolynn to be alone with his filming schedule. It also gave the perfect place for your plan. Last few nights you had binged the marvel movies again ending with Far From Home.

The living room was decked out by Carolynn with your help from earlier as she was the only know that knew. Everyone settled in the living room with Mr Reyes there as well who had quickly become a father figure to you.

“So, I wanted everyone here for a reason. I’m sure you’ve noticed I’ve been reading a script and I have something to open.” You started thanking Jeremy as he brought in the package, he had no clue of the contents, “Now nobody says any spoilers for season two.”

You turned on the camera Paul Becker had supplied with a small smile having already filmed the opening sequence. You sat on the floor in the camera shot, opening the big box to hand out the smaller boxes to your friends. Charlie, Owen, Jeremy, Madison, Savannah, Booboo and every else glanced at the non-descript red box.

“Open them.” You urged grinning as the room went silent except for the tape ripping off the packages.

In each individual box was marvel themed candy, a plushie of Spider-Man along with signed cards from the Avengers actors and the MCU Spider-Man cast. At the very bottom, all it said was to look up at you. Instead of facing them with their looks of shock, you addressed the camera.

“Tom and I are so incredibly happy to announce that Spider-Man 3 is in the beginning process of filming.” You beamed at the camera listening to the intense noise of your friends screaming, “we can’t reveal anything else about the film, but the script is immaculate as usual. You’ll get to see Harper on the screen once more.”

“WHAT!” The collective scream behind you came as you waited a second before ending the video. You’d have to replay it before sending to marvel for the finishing touches with Tom’s version and then you could post it on Instagram.

“Surprise!” You spoke to the group behind you all in states of excitement, “You don’t know how much I’ve wanted to tell you guys! I got the script a few days before I came.”

“Holy shit.” Owen spoke, laughing at he shook his head, “You managed to get autographs from fucking Iron Man himself.”

“I got connections.” You snorted meeting the gaze of Charlie, “Nah, Downey’s kids came for a visit, and I kept them company. Downey offered to do anything, and I took the favour.”

The surprise wore off as the group mingled, but Charlie’s eyes stayed pinned to your form as you sent a message to Tom. Locking your phone to noticed his eyes.

“Hey Charlie.” You smiled, sitting on the couch next to him. His expressive eyes showing a silver screen of emotions you couldn’t quite decipher.

The corner of his mouth tilted up in response to the way his name rolled off your tongue, sending his heart stuttering. A cold sweat appearing when you grasped his hand in yours in a confident manner.

“So, you leave soon?” Charlie murmured moving closer to hear you among the chatter of the group. Your lips turned down for a split second as you felt the sadness of leaving.

It was refreshing to be on set without the demands of makeup, costumes, filming and choreography. To see the action and magic but not be part of it was a definite change you had needed desperately. But to leave Charlie hurt.

“My call time is in three days. Need to get ready to bring Harper Osbourne back to the big screen.” You replied, loosening your grip on his hand, “I don’t really want to go back. I’m gonna miss you…and everyone else of course.”

Unaware to the eyes watching in anticipation you and Charlie conversed further on the upcoming months. To the great disappointment of the house began to clear out, Owen for an early call time. Savannah was meeting with her brother, and Mr Reyes was taking Madison home.

It left Jeremy and Carolynn to retire to their bedroom while you stayed on the couch with Charlie for longer. The emotions building from the prior weeks, bubbling to the surface. Hearts thudding in their chest Charlie leaned in glancing at your lips; yours glancing at his.

Who moved first couldn’t be known, but as your lips brushed together just barely you felt grounded and peaceful. If he leaned closer, you wonder what the kiss would make you feel.

“I’d like to kiss you.” Charlie murmured startled at the confidence he had gained, “But before I do. Do you have something with Tom?”

“Other than onscreen chemistry? Absolutely nothing.” You spoke barely louder than a whisper to the boy that had become so much more than some actor.

He was Charlie. The goofy boy that put a smile on anyone’s face with an impromptu concert in the middle of a crowded street. He lived life to the fullest without any regrets. He was passionate about his work, music and the environment.

Those thoughts evaporated when lips met another pair of lips in what might be described as the best kiss ever. No fireworks felt as Wattpad would say, but instead, it was the heady warmth of hot chocolate on a cold day; a warm shower after a long stressful day. It was home and perfect.

even though i know tom kenny voices a massive list of characters the fact alone that raimundo from xiaolin showdown and ice king share a voice bewilders me to no end and shakes me to my core

#THE DISSONANCE #usually people will pull like 4 characters from a very very common voice actor and theyll be like #SO SHOCKED ABOUT IT when to me i feel like its just obvious like yeah they all certainly sound like grey delisle #or whatever but something about RAIMUNDO vs ICE KING is jarring to me like yeah they sound similar and thats whats so BIZARRE

2022

Top Gun 2

How to Celebrate Top Gun Day

Get started with some of these ideas:

Reenact the best Top Gun Movie Scenes

But maybe karaoke isn’t the thing and the weather isn’t good enough for sports. It is still possible to find other ways to enjoy the day!

Host a Top Gun Day Party

Listen to the Top Gun Soundtrack

Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins. Appearing in the movie three times, this is the ultimate fighter jet song.

Show Off with Top Gun Quotes

Learn Some Fun Facts About Top Gun

Top Gun is set in San Diego, California and many of the sites for filming can still be visited, including Charlie’s little blue house and Kansas City Barbeque, which still features Goose’s piano.

Tom Cruise, at only 5’7”, wore lifts in his shoes to balance out the taller 5’10” Kelly McGillis as his love interest in the movie.

The movie didn’t originally have a love scene. That scene between Maverick and Charlie was added later, after test audiences said it needed one.

Bryan Adams was invited to sing on the Academy Award winning soundtrack, but he backed out because he thought the movie promoted war.

i wish nick would stop milking spongebob just leave it as the show and movies that’s it, i’m worried all this would come crashing down with all these new shows whether it be burnout with the cast and crew, creative differences, or failure of the projects, i just want spongebob to end soon and have proper good ending, nick should have more faith in their other cartoons other than spongebob and maybe the loud house, just actually green light actual good cartoon ideas, not annoying flashy shows

I have a feeling the show will come crashing down pretty soon. At this rate they're churning out much more then what the show can produce.

Tbh I enjoy the current seasons. They're fun. The show is still the juggernaut of the network. There isn't a need for mini series and extras. I know camp coral is a mini series so it really wouldn't last long but patrick the show or squidward the show? It's a lot of work. Its exhausting work.

You know what's funny is what made nick rise to the top in the 90s was the fact that they green lit a lot of shows, allowed for experimentation. They let their artists have the power and in return got a lot of great shows out of it. And I'm not saying the 90s was perfect and everything trash. But it was one of their core philosophies that they seemed to disregard as soon as they got money. The artists no longer have the right to their intellectual property. Unionizing will easily get you fired. Its a disaster all around.

The 2000s actually had great shows. The problem was the network wasn't willing to give them a chance. If they didn't hit mega stardom in its early season then it got axed. I often am surprised a lot of the shows I liked as a kid got canceled pretty early for no reason. They were popular with the kids I know for sure. Everyone in school talked about those shows so it didn't make sense why they would cancel it but for them if it wasn't massively marketable then it wasn't worth the time.

They will cancel shows with good ratings all the time. No reasons even given to the creator such as shows like Harvey Beaks. Its tragic.

I don't really want to pin all the blame on Spongebob because the show really got screwed over by Nick too. Literally going against everything Stephen wanted and Nickelodeon would have really done this to any show if it had not been spongebob. Literally they were forcing to make Spongebob a hey Arnold duplicate at the time.

It's really shitty though. Nickelodeon really won't end shows easily. When they're done with a show they would just put it on their nick toons channel to die with no ending like the fairlyodd parents when that show could have ended long time ago with the multiple series finales the show has. You know as a kid I used to wonder why fairlyodd parents had so many grand specials and stuff. It was because Nickelodeon often threatened to axe the show so many times so the staff had to make these specials because they were expecting it to be the end only to have Nick resurrect it again.

I don't care for the trash man Butch Hartman but the show got ran into the ground, no ending. It was abandoned on their nick toons channel and faded into obscurity. People only remembering it for the horrible quality of the last few seasons and its an example of what spongebob could become if we allow Nickelodeon to continue this.

All the actors on spongebob are very old now. I remember looking through the art book last night and it had a picture of Tom Kenny when he was younger (not much younger but like during the show) he had brown curly hair. Its crazy because nowadays you can watch him on instagram recreating moments from spongebob episodes and he looks completely different now. Short grey hair and a beard. He looks completely different now. So does many of the voice actors.

They've been doing this since before I was born and now I'm in an adult. Its crazy to imagine. They must be tired. We already had the voice actors for Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy pass away. The show makes up excuses whenever mermaid man and Barnacle boy get brought up and why they're unavailable but we all know the truth of what happened to them.

I'm worried the main cast voice actors will die soon. I don't want that and hope that never happens but the creator of the show itself isn't even alive. The current movie is dedicated in his honor "in loving memory of Stephen Hillenburg" at the end of the movie. It felt so sad.

It's nice his creation lived on to fill people's lives with comfort and happiness. Long after he passed away but it's crazy how badly his own brain child got disrespected and will continue to be disrespected.

I don't really want the show to end soon because I'm attached but also it has to. Its better for it to have a dignified ending then a miserable ending like the fairlyodd parents.

I want it to end with a proper legacy and be treated with the proper respect it deserves but Nickelodeon doesn't seem to have respect for anything. There is no such thing as a just corporation. They don't care about long term quality. They care about what's the most eye catching and have momentary success. Flashy lights that will easily entertain children which is crazy.

I remember their idea in the past was that they cared about what kids actually want to see. Not to put down the intelligence of children, respecting them as individuals and their entertainment would reflect that. It's clear they don't stand by that anymore.

You could argue that I was getting older but they brought in these cheap flashy cartoons in the late 2000s where I was still a kid. I was still their demographic and I hated it. It was hard to watch. Them trying to join in on trends and stuff at the time felt like your parents trying to join in on what the cool kids do. It was weird and hard to watch. They really don't have to do that. They tried doing live action shows in hopes of seeming cool but most kids hated it or were not allowed to watch because it was deemed inappropriate for most kids to watch.

They feel like a mess. I can't even suggest what to so since they're such a disaster network and now tv is dying so they're trying out streaming networks thst are only available in the US thus alienating a large portion of their audience.

I don't see them getting better soon so I don't see the future of spongebob as a whole being bright. I guess all we can do is enjoy the current season episodes. They're funny at least.

Murder on The Rockport Limited Notes

Previous: Character Creation, HtbG, Moonlighting

Ch 1

Robbie is a halfling who is pretty shitty but he’s good at making “potions” (Robbie is the roommate that everyone really hates but doesn’t want him to leave because he is their plug)

Taako is on the top bunk, Magnus is under Taako, Robbie is next to Taako and Merle is under Robbie

They are woken up at 3 am to report to Lucretia (3 am really?)

”Yeah it’s like Mario Mario or Luigi Mario” ~Griffin (This is so funny because this actually proves that Taako’s last name really is Taaco. Before Justin played it as a joke but this kinda derails that)

Robbie asks them for Pringles when they leave (Thus the beginning of me and the boys not remembering him by anything other than Pringles)

They arrive in their PJs (Taako is in footie pajamas and Merle’s has a flap in at the butt with a Kenny Chesney tattoo on his ass) (When the hell did Merle get that tattoo. Also, why is Lucretia in her full BoB garb right now? Was she asleep and get changed really quickly? Do her robes double as PJ’s? Did she just not go to sleep?)

Taako says he gets night terrors that’s why he’s in like a full-body Onesie/sleeping bag (That is so fricking sad if you think about his backstory later on…)

Magnus just starts changing clothing right then and there when Lucretia tells them that they don’t have time to get ready (This man really has no shame or boundaries. I imagine it was the same in the century tbh)

Leimann Kessler (half-elf man) was murdered before he was even on the train but was able to secure the Relic on the train (Personally, don’t know a lot about how trains work but this to me is kinda odd. Who knew he died? Do their bracers know when the wearer perishes? Is there like a body temp check and a pulse check in there too? We know that it can track them but… how much more can it do…)

All the relics come from a different school of magic. They were never in the hands of someone long enough to learn what they are capable of (Potentially this is a lie. We would have already known the names, schools of magic, and possibly what they could do based upon that alone. I bet Lucretia is hiding that info in her office)

The Gauntlet deals with Evocation magic (Hmmm, I can only imagine why. Maybe because Lup also worked in Evocation magic?)

Avi is manning the cannon! The whole scene with Magnus High as hell. Avi Never learned how to Wink (Avi you’re adorable I love you. Magnus. Get your shit together man.)

Taako pulls the lever too early and they change trajectory into a swamp

Leech fight! (I honest to god forgot this even happened before listening to it again. Not my fave fight)

Ch 2

Merle gets a lot of blood sucked from him by the leeches

Merle is completely submerged in the swamp and Magnus pulls his ass out (Why is it always Merle)

”Scientists have yet to agree” ~Griffin (I personally use this phrase all the time. It just makes me laugh so hard every time.)

Taako can levitate (I really wished he used this more ngl. I would also like to see some more fanart of this)

They are in Rockport! Covered in swamp shit!

Tom Beaudette! We see his house and they get hosed off then they see him at the ticket station again. (What a nice guy!)

Leimann, Diddly, and Justin Kessler (10/10 best alias’ ever)

Taako Charms Tom (It’s a nice go-to huh?)

Merle really wants to murder tom he wanted him to step in front on the train (Merle really is the one who goes straight for murder)

Ch 3

Hudson, Jess the Beheader, Graham Juicy Wizard, ANGUSSSSSSSS, and Jenkins McShittywizard (My favorite train gang!)

Travis making fun of Griffin for how he needs to sleep with 100000000 pillows (I cherish all of these out of character bits where they really just dog on one another)

Angus, my sweet summer child don’t talk to strangers. We know your grandfather’s name was long forgotten even though you’re going to visit him in Never Winter.

The boys legit think Angus is evil and Griffin yells at them bc they are being racist. (1- how are they being legit racist? You haven’t introduced anything about Angus’ race at all?) (2- Jesus he is only 10 years old my dudes)

Graham is 36 years young and is crazy obsessed with trains and his real name is Percy? He is shadowing Jenkins in hopes of learning more about working on a train

Taako from TV! (And so his legend begins!)

Ch 4

Jenkins is harnessing a limited version of teleportation magic

Angus calling the boys out on their bullshit

Taako calling Angus “pumpkin” (Literally melts my heart. I wish someone called me cute nicknames. Also, Taako hasn’t even talked to this kid that much and that name is reoccurring)

Angus has a nondescript blue book that is able to intercept messages sent through magical means (Where did this child get this book and who let him keep it? This is legit just like letting children under 13 have access to the unrestricted internet. It’s literal Hell)

The bit with Angus and “PRYING EYES AND EARS!” (uh foreshadowing my guy)

They find “Jenkins” Dead body after hearing Graham scream

Merle is able to identify a lot of things by looking at the body (It still scares me that he is technically a Physician.)

Angus pulls a small CROSSBOW OUT OF HIS SLEEVE? (Where did he get this, how did he keep it from Hudson, Why the fuck does he have it)

Angus really said “you guys run I’ll get rid of him!” and grabs Graham and runs (How strong is this child. He’s legit lifting and pulling a grown-ass man without help)

”I’m following Angus I’ll see yall in hell!” ~Taako (Yes follow the badass 10-year old please)

”I wanna tell you about the time about this time there were three ogres…”~Taako

The Foley work bit and then Griffin just snapping “The train derails and you all die” (Another out of character goof that I cherish)

”I shit and take 14 damage” ~Griffin (are you okay? How much health do you have? What’s your max HP dude?)

Taako makes the Crab monster Levitate

Magnus punched the crab monster out of the window and it got scrapped up on the side of the train

Ch 5

They follow the Crab into their sleeper car and Magnus attacks with a chair and Griffin says “I imagine because you are so skilled at carpentry that you’ve had to attack someone with a chair before so you are in fact proficient in this attack”

Jess comes in and finishes the crab off with her Soul bound ax that she can conjure at any time (This legit just means that Jenkins did not need to carry her ax to the crypt safe. She let him do it for shits n giggles. We stan)

Jess got her last name legally changed to “Beheader” and Magnus says that he got his legally changed to “The Hammer” (Really Magnus… this isnt 3rd grade stop trying to impress her. It’s that or it could be another sad reference to “Hammer and Tongs” which would mean Julia was “Tongs” D: that is so depressing and cute)

Magnus and Merle are making good progress in solving the murder

”Alright lads” “oh fuck” When Merle keeps up his disguise as Leimann Kessler (It’s so funny because his fake Leimann Kessler is just his current Argonaut Keen.)

”I cast ZONE OF TRUTH” “Jesus you’re like a zone of truth cleric” (Oh honey. This is just the beginning)

Magnus wakes Graham up with a 5% smack with his left hand and then a 6.5% smack also with his left hand (Wtf is this BNHA? Alright Deku)

Taako is an Alcoholic? (He keeps asking for a drink ...This is a bit concerning but it makes sense)

Magnus slaps Graham again with 7.2% and he popped something in Graham’s jaw and he begins screaming but Merle heals him (OKAY DEKU COOL IT MY GUY)

”I wanna be a guy... with a head!” ~” Hudson” (hehe foreshadowing)

SCUTTLE BUDDY!!!!! (A short but adorable life you have my Lil man)

Ch 6

The “fisticuffs” scene with Taako and Angus (Now this is really concerning considering his backstory. I know it’s a joke because of how many people they accidentally kill all the time but like dude… little do you know…)

Angus leading them through the mystery is so cute. But also you know its Griffin trying to get his family to really think it through and I love it. (It really makes my heart really full to hear Griffin get really excited when they figure it out slowly instead of mocking them when they guess wrong)

MERLE YES! MAGNUS YES! YOU’RE GETTING IT! YOU’RE SO CLOSE! (Teamwork makes the dream work baby!)

Magnus jumps out of the train and Griffin gets really serious and gives him the “if you fail this you will actually die” speech (This coupled with the fight scene that Magnus accidentally skipped and the fact that originally Travis did want Magnus to die so he could re-roll a rogue is so wild)

Magnus is gonna become a wrecking ball Jesus (very Magnus-core)

Hell yeah, Magnus! Knock the meat monster into Jenkins!!

Magnus gets hit for 10 points at 1hp and paries it for 10 points! (Top ten anime near-death experiences)

Jenkins threatens to kill the meat monster. Horribly misses then is thrown off the fucking train by the meat monster (Get fucked wrecked Jenkins that’s what you get for being cocky!)

Ch 7

They find the dousing rod compass that Jenkins was using and find the monocle (Pirates of the Caribbean much?)

Taako grabs The Oculus because he has escaped the thrall of a relic before

It tells him that it can make anything he can imagine (This is really interesting tbh)

The Umbrastaff eATS JENKINS WAND!!! and a Lil sigil appears on the handle of the staff that also looks like an umbrella (Lup gets fed lmao. Don’t really understand the Sigil appearing tho. It doesn’t come up any other time I don’t think so it’s cool)

Taako grabs the teleport wand thing and asks everyone to leave and he grabs a bunch of shit from the Cryptsafe pile (Very Taako-core)

They make it to the engineer’s room and Graham tries to slow the train down but he can’t

Taako wanted to open the gate to Never Winter to Phandalin but they change it to Jenkins’ garden because it needs to be a room with “one entrance” (Solid idea on Taako’s part. If it were to work no one would have been hurt)

Taako pushed Angus off the train and he looses two teeth (This man pushed a whole child off the train… ‘Ight)

Magnus dies by jumping off the train (Top ten anime death scenes)

Taako successfully opens the gate into Jenkin’s garden and the train crashes into the garden

Magnus is stabilized by Merle (Awe so the Cleric can do his job!)

Angus gives them pringles for Robbie and the compass. Taako gives Angus one of the forks from his grandfather’s set.

They go to a nearby Never Winter Clinic to get patched up

Out of character, they choose to work on voices and Griffin calls them out bc he’s been doing 8 “different” voices and Clint goes “Yeah try doing that for 40 years” get fuckin rOASTED Ditto! (Also Griffin I love you but like 3 of the voices were the exact same and 2 were so similar it wasn’t funny. Don’t get me wrong different voices aren’t my strong suit either but ya did give it your best shot so.)

We goin’ back to the moon baby!

AVI MY MAIN MAN! (I will forever and always want and need more Avi screen time)

The oculus works with illusory magic (Which is very interesting bc I know it was made by Davenport because he also worked in allusory magic but I don’t ever remember him using any magic… who knows maybe he has and I just never realized)

Lucretia thought they were gonna get it off the train before it left... woman… (You’ve known these men for how long and you thought they were gonna w h a t?)

Next: Lunar Interlude I,
