Dimple continuation because I can't stop thinking about him as an asymptomatic zombie

When Ritsu gets dragged to a cult meeting by someone who thinks he's the second incarnation of Lord Ekubo, trailing a slightly unsettled but mostly docile zombie behind him, Dimple's "unique, divine" ability to calm zombies suddenly is called into question. especially because Ritsu is completely willing to explain to whoever will listen that zombies are actually just sick people and there's nothing special about getting along with one, so can they both leave now? which leads to something a little like the canon clash between Dimple and Mob, except—

this time it's a fight over Mob. between Dimple and Ritsu. To keep his followers in awe, Dimple is forced to try to "wake up" Mob's "soul".

And Dimple can't get Mob to react. Like. at all.

Mob has planted his feet and Is Not Going Along With This, Thanks. He can tell that the laughing guy and the rest of the people are making Ritsu scared, so he refuses to play along.

When Dimple tries to coax Mob into laughing—remember, most zombies instinctively chuckle a little when Dimple gives his infectious belly laugh—Mob actually growls. He's annoyed at this guy who drew Mob's attention and now won't quit trying to push Mob around. He doesn't want to laugh. He wants to go back to wandering around peacefully with his brother.

Ritsu, scared, puts his hand on Mob's shoulder, and Mob gives a snap of his teeth at Dimple and then goes watchfully silent.

Dimple senses that this is not a safe situation but he's in too far to stop. His followers are watching.

When Dimple announces that Mob is the most far-gone zombie he's ever seen and he'll need to use holy milk to wake up this poor thing's sleeping soul and make him laugh, Ritsu snaps. Dimple doesn't even get to pull his milk trick before Ritsu is screaming at him for patronizing zombies and trying to poison his brother. Dimple's followers are unsure who to side with. Dimple's authority is slipping away (bad news for your local half-turned zombie!!!!). Dimple announces to his followers that Mob actually doesn't have a soul, and that Ritsu is also this new kind of soulless zombie in the process of turning, and unfortunately, Dimple and his followers are going to have to kill both of them to keep humankind safe.

But when Dimple goes for Ritsu with a knife, Mob goes for his throat, and it's only Dimple's residual zombie strength and panicky speed that allows him to block Mob's mouth with his arm.

Dimple's followers scatter at that point. No one wants to be around this soulless zombie who even their brilliant Lord Dimple couldn't prevent from going on a rampage.

Dimple, with Mob's teeth closing in his arm, collapses to his knees and keens loudly, partly on purpose (loud human vocalizations are one of the few things that reliably get through to zombies, which is why Dimple uses laughter so much,) and partly out of pain. Mob pauses for a second, re-evaluating. Dimple makes a throaty throbbing sound, making Mob falter even more. He reaches for Mob's face to calm him the rest of the way down, and then Ritsu belatedly shouts "Nii-san!" and Mob bites the rest of the way through the meat of Dimple's arm.

Dimple wisely books it out of there, and the only reason Mob doesn't chase him down out of instinct is because Ritsu throws up and something in Mob's brain recognizes the vomiting sound as Bad. so he stops, looks at where Dimple went for a moment, then turns around and touches Ritsu's back gently with flesh still hanging out of his mouth.

(Dimple shows up the next day with a bandaged arm and a feverish light shining in his eyes. He's never met a zombie who's loyal before. He's never met one who could pause in the act of biting to think about what to do. He's fascinated by the emotional intelligence he senses in Mob, and maybe he sees a little of himself in the kids. "Us zombies zombie whisperers gotta stick together, right partner?" ...or something!)

metroid is about isolation

but metroid is also about learning to do trick jumps from random animals who celebrate when you get it right, and about saving them even as the planet shudders under your feet

and metroid is about lowering your gun when you meet the last of a species who's only just hatched, and gently holding out your hand

and metroid is about accidentally calling the name of someone you care about, who you thought you'd lost, and finding out they've been with you the whole time

and about a little scribble of a child with their parents tucked into the corner of a grand mural

and about the gifts left behind by others because they may be gone before they get to meet you, but that won't stop them from helping you

metroid is about love actually

A project in the works.

Hi, this is Atari! We are the Paranomaly Hotline (like paranormal and anomaly, cool right?!?), we help people when they deal with places or creatures (or even people) that aren't exactly...normal, for lack of a better vocabulary. There's several of us, but I'm the main one who'll be taking calls!

Have a good day, and I hope you guys have no need to call us!

Ok so I understand if we were to ever get an accurate portrayal of the Robins they probably wouldn't want to put Dick and Jason in the original Robin suit but I think they need to keep the same vibe. Dick and Jason's suit should be bright colors, it shouldn't have tons of armor, it should be more for acrobatics, not saying Batman wouldn't have protection for them but it shouldn't be over the top but then after Jason dies the suit is over hauled. Dick and Jason's time as Robin were different then Tim's. Tim's suit should be muted, tactical, he gets a bo staff, he gets weapons on every inch of the suit, it's Batman adding over the top protection cus he can't let another Robin die. The Robin's suits are tailored to the Robin and acting like they have no meaning is a disservice to the characters.

It’s okay, it’s okay / My love will fall with grace

(When Ninjago stresses me out I revert back to watching Skybound three times over and putting The Crane Wives on loop. To which the funny coincidence happened that I realized how well Icarus fits Skybound Nya. This is a direct redraw of the album cover. Goodnight <3)
