#unclaimed baggage

[ofbeautsandbeasts]

Did you guys know that Hoggle from Labyrinth (1986) has been at Unclaimed Baggage in Alabama since 1997?!? He recently got a restoration in 2022 to look closer to his movie self because his first restoration wasn't that accurate.

If anyone wants to see photos of the condition he was in when they found him rotting in a suitcase and trust me—THEY ARE NIGHTMARE FUEL—then take a look below ⬇

If you're a Labyrinth fan like me, you'll definitely want to see Hoggle in the flesh! There's nothing quite like being inches away from him and really getting a feel for what it must've been like acting opposite him 😆

Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro, Ala., is the only store in the U.S. that sells items travelers left behind.

Now I kind of want to go check out the store.

Not that I have any money to spare, but I'm browsing books on Unclaimed Baggage and the amount of plays and books examining plays for sale rn makes me wonder if a theatre troupe lost all their luggage

Thanks to @WDEFNews12 viewer Lee Gooslin for a view of a possible tornado touchdown near Scottsboro, Alabama late Wednesday / early Thursday as numerous severe storms moved through.

Space marine headcannon

I blame @cosmic-cryptid-from-beyond and space marine 2 for this one.

Note: this is pure brainrot , spoilers i guess

Kill teams are all almost always composed of astartes from various chapters. Which is what makes them so effective in the first place. They use the codex as a guide line but utilize equitment and tactics that their original chapters never would due to preference or tradition.

Kill teams are more loose with regulations as a result but usually share incredibly close bonds with their comrades. they basically adopt each other as brothers.

Black Shields may be considered "dishonorable" by outsiders, but the death watch is generally more experienced, and they don't view the world in black and white. Titus is a great example of self-imposed exile, when Calgal (literally the chapter master of the Ultramarines) was looking for him the entire time.

Circumstances can often be out of a marine's control. Leading to an almost fatalistic attitude for most Black Shields, seeing themselves as a lost cause.

This leads to "adoption," other battle brothers giving in to the age-old Little-Brother-Hurt! Response: Not really considering the actual age of the black shield. The black shield doesn't really get a choice...(it's free real-estate!)

When we apply that to Titus, who has Ultra-Depression, his adoptive brothers get attached and care-a-whole-lot. Humans will pack bond with anything, space marines are worse, especially with "unclaimed" battle brothers.

Titus (hyper-compedent super soldier) becomes a flustered, blushing, shy mess from any act of kindness after Inquisitor Thumb Tack toutured him for 100 years.

Enough Emotial Baggage for a Whole Airport. But his brothers are there to help him unpack it all.

What do you all think they would do?

Chapter 3 of Maritime Salvage Law is up! Contains thrilling scenes of lying in a hospital bed, fidgeting, and exposition-heavy dialogue.

Next up is a Soap POV chapter, which I am very excited about.

The fic in general is a slow-burn Ghost/Soap/OC pairing -

If Ghost is more weapon than man, does he count as military equipment or personnel? Is he subject to maritime salvage laws? When Mumbles finds an unconscious soldier floating in the Atlantic Ocean, she is not aware of all the unclaimed baggage associated - just that the man needs help and she is capable of sorting out the next steps later.

@bearlydruid has woken me up by choosing angst (therefore, gets some back in return)

It rolled like Thunderwave, as if Gale had cast it and silenced the entirety of the camp. Halsin had been mid-conversation with Karlach who damn near dove for her tent. A glance around, and most of them had the good sense to at least look like they weren't listening directly. He didn't even look towards Astarion - he knew he would be listening. Jaheira would have looked like she wasn't listening, but she absolutely was. "Honestly, yes I was going to, but I didn't think it was exactly necessary." Halsin said as calmly as he could. Apparently, Thorne had worked out the timeline.

Hawthorne knew this was perhaps not the time or place, maybe at least he should have waited until those that needed sleep had gone to bed for the evening to lessen the audience. But it was burning inside his brain, the way he'd been completely oblivious for the better half of nearly 200 years. Ah, the impatience and impetuosity of youth (from an elven perspective, anyway...)

In a moment something sharp and piercing replaced the desperation and anger he'd felt a split second before. "You...didn't think it was important to perhaps mention that...everyone I have ever grown up with sees me as a means to an end? A transaction? That's all I am, a transaction, an...an exchange? I..." Oh...the blind fury was coming back to mas a moment of grief and weakness. "You were just following orders, weren't you? Did you even want me?"

It was no secret that children borne of ritualistic rites were often left nameless and parentless to be raised by the circles, unclaimed like baggage left at a carraige stop.

But why was he suddenly attacking someone who was very much so present and available for him for his entire life? Someone who loved him?

Was it the tadpole?

I have to be the spookiest bitch at the unclaimed baggage store for some reason
