#which i think is impressive as hell

My childhood classroom monarch butterfly "pets" might not have known us as anything more than a cluster of loud large creatures in a weird, colorful room but I'm sure that they did love the orange slices we'd give them so they could grow big and strong.

They loved the safety of having their own place where they were not bothered or moved.

And they loved the wind in their wings when they finally took off, finally full grown and free.

They were not very curious of us. They hardly even saw that we existed. Hardly ever a thought at all except "oh... There's people here" once they crawled out of their cocoons.

But the image of them flying so high, the knowledge that I watched them grow every day, huddled up against the counter with my classmates, our sticky little hands shoved onto the counter, or in our pockets or mouths to taste some of the sweet orange slices that we shared with these little insects is more than enough.

In fact, it sparked a lifelong love for watching things thrive.

People, plants, animals, communities... Everything.

Everything is so alive.

All because of a few specks of butterfly eggs that were given to a kindergarten classroom.

They might not be your traditional "weird" pets like rats or spiders. But they were mind-blowing for little me. And I think that's important for everyone to experience.

Skrunkly Collin Collection

I've already collected most of the good Oatchis from the Pikmin comic, but I actually really like Collin in it too.

But, I'll give y'all a newish Oatchi reaction as the bonus.

You can use this anytime someone shows you something you don't like.

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.

I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.

I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??

Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.

Orla, how old is Kon supposed to be… or like is that impossible to measure currently? Is the way his age treated giving us free reign to call him an adult… he’s definitely an adult to me but like is he in his twenties… mid twenties…?

He has two sets of ages, chronological and not… I think that complicated things more.

Hello! To answer your question we need to sort of untangle how old Kon was before Flashpoint, and what happened to him immediately afterwards.

Kon's aging has been weird historically, and for a good while everyone thought that Kon couldn't age at all and he was going to be stuck at age 16 forever, however this got fixed and his aging was stabilized as he aged to approximately 17 pre-Flashpoint.

Then Flashpoint hit and this is where things get muddy.

Young Justice 2019 written by Bendis tells us that Kon, still in high school and still assumedly 17, was teleported to Gemworld that exists in an alternative dimension just before Flashpoint hit so he avoided the reboot entirely as explained by Bart.

While on Gemworld, he meets Lophi who was very late in her pregnancy with baby Martha and he lived on Gemworld long enough for her to give birth. After Lophi gives birth, Kon remains and helps raise her daughter for at least a few months. When we last see Martha she is still a baby and not a toddler so it's unlikely he spent longer than a year there. Meanwhile for Tim and Cassie YEARS passed (boo).

So Young Justice unfolds, they all find Kon and they take him back to Earth and we can assume that because he was in high school before he was zapped to Gemworld, and because only a few months passed, he is still, unfortunately... about 17, maybe 18 (hopefully), around Young Justice 2019.

Since Young Justice 2019 has ended according to Tim Drake Robin a six months passed at least because that is the length of time Megfitz stated Timbern has been dating and Kon was back in continuity before they got together.

Thus the youngest he can possibly be using comic time and extrapolation is 18 but he's likely closer to 19.

Ideally, he should be in his 20s now but I don't think DC will let that happen.

We're really not sure and comics don't often like giving solid numbers and one time in one comic doesn't always add up to another comic either so we don't know.

A fair age for him considering everything that we've seen is he is at least 18, and a senior in high school.

Man. I just get so actually legitimately sad each time I remember that toh ended and that we live in the post-toh world. Like it really is over.

Ms Dana Terrace has said that she'd like to do more given the chance (and after some quality time off of bigger projects, just to chill), but as far as we know, it's the end.

Heck, we barely got anything after the final episode, no books, no special merch, no dedicated little chibi shorts, nothing really, aside from the, thankfully fun, get-togethers of the cast and crew!

Idk. Ah well actually nah, I do know, that this show just meant an enormous lot to me. Incredibly huge, the kind that you can't break away from and wouldn't want to anyway. The kind that feels like, man, where would I be without it.

Happy 1 Year, to the end of The Owl House. Thank you, The Owl House.

I hope the future is bright, for all of us.

[mwagneto]

i really love kick scooters i've been using one to get around instead of walking whenever possible since i was like 10 and i'd like to say i'm fairly good at it but sometimes when i'm hurtling downhill at landscape blurring speeds it does occur to me that i'm gambling my life on 2 metal pipes and 2 wheels small enough to be tripped up by a pebble

Atla live action 😐

[yuridovewing]

It was so strange to me to read the scene where Snowbush dies cause he's apparently Lilyheart's husband )I think) yet we never see him do anything before he dies. Shouldn't we have seen him interact more with Twigpaw if he was so important to lily?

well as this book asserts over and over with fernsong, a tom interacting with and parenting his children is weird and unusual! so snowbush was probably a deadbeat dad and no one cared! because thats the female's job. /s

actually we don't see his kits react to his death at all, twigpaw only ever talks about lilyheart and iirc doesn't really respond to his death in any unique way. for larksong being a topic in this book, we don't really see him interacting with snowbush and he doesn't seeeeeem to have a unique reaction to snowbush's death, especially not compared to his mother. so the erins might actually have thought that, idk.

now my logical followup is rewatching rogue one for the first time since seeing it (multiple times) in theaters i believe? Will i cry a lot, which i am always prone to do w/media & things but all the more so lately, it seems
