The (rather) hideous subtext of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

The Hidden World- well, a ravine of sorts.

It has completely split up the franchise, into pro(everything in this review) and against (well…ditto).

And there seem to be more of the latter. If that’s you, enjoy this review.

 The main reason people gush over this film, are well, a collection of sorts. Animation. Lighting. Moonray- a newly installed DreamWorks technological brand that only recently came into action. Many people were captivated by the Nightlights, by “ooh look at that cute dragon” and whatnot.

 The cute dragons and epic vistas of New Berk aren’t bad. It’s what’s under them.

 What lies beneath

  Cute dragons and fake facades hide what really lies beneath- what this film is all about. Separating Hiccup and Toothless. Many a time have I seen people parrot on about how Toothless found love- it’s okay for him to completely neglect and abandon Hiccup.

Many a time have I seen people go on about how Toothless and his call to the wild supersedes his friendship with Hiccup.

Many a time have I seen people justify the Light fury and make her existence seem glorified- when she exists merely to separate Hiccup and Toothless- that inseparable duo that many- if not most fans- hate to see the separation of.

In essence- people backing up a separation that never should have been. People backing up the complete and utter breakage of a friendship that never should have been broke.

 Many billions have by now seen this film- and not all of them are fans. Most of them are passers-by- giving blind praise (to this film) where it is not due.

I am not saying this film doesn’t deserve praise. Sure- the animation is fabulous. The lighting and SFX/VFX is superb. There are many things about the Hidden World that I like. None of them are to do with the plot, the way they handled the separation, the mere notion of separating Hiccup and Toothless permanently.

I don’t mind a separation.

And- by the way- I mean one which doesn’t involve the type we got in HTTYD: THW, what with Hiccup and Toothless growing apart, living alone and whatnot. I mean one like Gift of the night fury- where Toothless came back to Hiccup. Where we, as an audience, return full circle, with the affirmation that Hiccup and Toothless are indeed inseparable.

One which confirms a true friendship. Not what THW gave us. Though, I will give them credit for trying in the epilogue scene.

I am not saying this film doesn’t deserve praise.

I am saying, however, it makes a train wreck of the friendship between the central duo of this franchise.

Many people say that the Hidden World is great and satisfying (really...?)  because Toothless goes back to the wild… he belongs there… he needs to leave Hiccup as finding a FAMILY is what brings him happiness.

Not Hiccup. Hiccup used to give him happiness, love, affection and companionship- he still does- but NONE of that matters to Toothless- supposedly- when the Light Fury enters the game.

No, just no. You give me proof of Toothless behaving like this- once- even in the previous instalments- and I will give you the previous instalments.

The facts are there. Toothless’ family is Hiccup. That has already been established- from every single other piece of media in this franchise.

Since when has anything mattered more to toothless than that one boy who, being the only one in his entire village, alone, neglected and saddened, tried to give dragons and humans a second chance? This boy was known to be Hiccup- he changed history with Toothless. He ended a war between two disparate species- he gave this dragon, who we call Toothless, more love and affection than anyone else at the time would even dream of.

He gave this dragon his flight back- but the dragon gives him friendship back.

Hiccup has practically raised this dragon for years of his life. Years he could have spent being barbaric, killing dragons, fighting… no. Hiccup has fed Toothless, bantered with him, played with him, bathed him, attended to wounds/injuries.

Just like you would your own pet- but Toothless isn’t a pet. He was the first to believe in Hiccup and really bond with him- more than anyone else at that time. If you don’t recall- at the time when Toothless and Hiccup first met in the Cove, Hiccup was laughed at, taunted, bullied and neglected by his father and peers around him.

Only a member of the opposite species gave him actual companionship. First.

Which is why is why it really gets to me when Astrid says-

‘But you know what? I was the first to believe in you’- making it seem as if she was the first to instill confidence in Hiccup. First human? Sure. First sentient being? Nope.

Ironic as at the time Toothless was the only creature offering him companionship.

 The friendship between Hiccup and toothless- plus more

What has this franchise been about? What is it been centered around for as long as we can remember? The friendship- the bond between hiccup and toothless. It has always been about how they are inseparable- and also, every single movie, episode and short film- excluding the Hidden World-, every single race to the edge hicctooth moment brings them closer together. It strengthens their resolve.

They are the best of buddies. So, what does How to Train Your dragon- The Hidden World achieve? It breaks that bond. Why? For the sake of romance!

Romance.

Toothless- having been with Hiccup and fought alongside him for years- and having a virtually unbreakable connection with him that can never be broken- suddenly dejects Hiccup and is not only torn away from him, but is almost desperate to leave him? Where is his loyalty to him? Where is this ‘friendship of a lifetime’ we were promised? The entire film sets the premise that Toothless realises he doesn’t need hiccup and that his real destiny is with the light fury- as Hiccup, his best friend that is with him for years- means little. How can we- as fans- accept this? Most of you reading this won’t, I’m sure.

 The separation, gift of the night fury and freedom

 “So that we could get to that moment like the opening narration of Cressida Cowell’s first book.  There were dragons when I was a boy.  I thought there was something really emotional about that.  But it suggests the end of an era.”

 Nothing wrong with this. This could work in any other franchise. Not HTTYD. The disappearance of an entire species seems apocalyptic- right up my street in fact- but wait a minute. The dragons and the berkians are meant to CO-EXIST… right? They are meant to find a way, or ways to work together. They do. They develop a perfect state of friendly peace between the two species- until THW. Hiccup gives up his resolve- that him and Toothless- him and toothless- have been working on.

 A perfect state of peace.

  And Hiccup says- I was so busy fighting for a world I wanted- wait… ,’I wanted’ ?

 (Hiccup and Astrid, both smiling, nod at each other and press their heads together. Toothless, after walking past the Light Fury, looks at Hiccup, who smiles at him. Toothless looks towards the horizon and back to Hiccup again. Hiccup also looks at the horizon and back to Toothless. He then hops to Toothless and holds his face.)

 Hiccup: You're right, bud. It's time. I was so busy fighting for a world that I wanted, I didn't think about what you needed.

 Hiccup and Toothless have been working together- as one- from the beginning- and this movie ignores that and makes Hiccup seem outright selfish as he didn’t think about what Toothless needed? Toothless has outright stated prior he doesn’t need anyone else but Hiccup. In fact, Toothless wants peace and coexistence between humans and dragons. Wasn’t that one of the reasons they bonded?

For reference, see Riders of Berk- in one episode, Astrid (ironically, being the same Astrid in 3 who claims Toothless has been given his freedom, so will never return) claims Toothless is happy with Hiccup and doesn’t need anyone else. Not a bad message. Many people only have one friend and are fine with them. In fact, it isn’t how many you have, but the quality (but that’s a different topic)

This movie?

Abandon your best friend for the sake of a partner.

Hiccup is everything to Toothless- and vice versa. These two have such an unbreakable connection. Where has it gone, movie?

Good movies come from character growth- character evolution. They don’t come from devolution and a complete reversal of growth of said character.

 Also- something else. About halfway into the movie, after returning from the failed mission to raid Grimmel’s base- several key lines are spoken by two main characters.

Hiccup says ‘toothless and I will-‘. He’s cut off. Hiccup at this point fully expects toothless to return- again, not because he is keeping him captive (expanded on later)- but out of love, loyalty, companionship. They’re best friends, right?

Isn’t that how it’s always been?

And then- the two lines which are simply infuriating- “you gave him his freedom” and “he has the light fury now”.

Both these lines strongly imply Toothless doesn’t want or need Hiccup. As does the scene in THW where Toothless has “found his place amongst dragons, realising his true destiny”- quote from Dean D.B.

 Without all the extra glorification- realising he doesn’t need Hiccup when Hiccup is the reason he is alive- the single person on the planet who cares for him the most. Gone.

In two days.

 And doesn’t “he has the light fury now?” completely deject their bond?

As if to say- he doesn’t need you- his best friend who he supposedly cares about.

So many lines- plot points- utter rubbish- solely designed to tear these two apart for no logical, justified reason.

 Also, let’s talk about freedom. A strong aspect when considering this concept is the call of the wild.

A call of the wild refers to an animal, kept in captivity, isolated from the rest of nature, wanting to be free.

 Remember gift of the night fury?

Toothless was given his freedom then. Surely, if he was experiencing this call of the wild it would build up over time- not just be a sharp ‘I want to leave Hiccup’

He would have left in gift of the night fury. But no- he destroyed the automatic tailfin because flying with Hiccup, as one, as two best friends bonded by their shortcomings.

As you can see, this call of the wild arc introduced in HTTYD 3 completely disintegrates the bond that Toothless chose, chose.

Toothless was not forced into captivity but instead out of compassion and love for Hiccup made the decision to live with him. How is suddenly sending him back to the wild- and according to the directors- because he chooses another dragon over Hiccup- a deepening of his arc?

It doesn’t deepen it- it’s trying to dam a river that supplies water to millions of people.

 It doesn’t end there. Toothless, when leaving is described as ‘hesitant, conflicted’

Conflicted?

Conflicted over the same Hiccup whom he shares an unbreakable bond with? The same one whom he wouldn’t leave for the world? And that too- conflicted over a female- over another dragon.

Conflicted to even think about leaving his best friend. Years of friendship- gone, replaced with the message “romance supersedes friendship”

So much for the friendship of a lifetime.

 Furthermore- the crescendo that plays during the separation is called Freedom. The original FYC OST is titled that.

Freedom? From what? Freedom implies a release from captivity for an animal that was being kept captive- in a poor mental and physical state. In essence- the dragons were being used as slaves- or tools, kept against their will involuntarily.

Hiccup was keeping Toothless a slave.

This is an utter abomination to both their friendship and the Berkian dragons.

They have relationships. They are there because they want to be there- because they enjoy human companionship. The artbook(s) even say as much- along with the script. Remember Hiccup’s line- “now they’ve all moved in. And really- why wouldn’t they?” The berkians adapted their own lifestyle to accommodate these animals. The animals-dragons- are there out of free will.

Free will. The complete anthesis to slavery and subjugation.

Let’s look at three examples.

                           Remember this scene? Hiccup says ‘we built custom stables, all you can eat feeding stations, a full-service dragon wash”

 Basically- they love these creatures and care for their every need. Far from keeping them slaves- as implied by freedom- when slaves or workers in our own world are kept in uncomfortable conditions. These dragons, and Toothless himself, are far from uncomfortable.

They even bathe them and wash them- as you would care for your own pet. Hiccup even takes the time to bathe Toothless himself as we see below. And giving him a chin scratch.

  All the time- showing Toothless affection and companionship. Important to note that without Hiccup, Toothless would be non-existent (for a euphemistic word), in Grimmel’s trophy cabinet. And Hiccup isn’t just best friends with him- he actually cares for this dragon.

  Doesn’t that indicate the dragons moved in because the Berkians became compassionate? Compassionate thanks to, and spread by, Hiccup?

Isn’t that what this series is all about? Mutual coexistence?

 Also- look at this.

  Toothless came back to Hiccup out of love for him, out of genuine compassion. I mean- look at that face. Definitely being held “captive” right? Captive by Drago- yes, but you see, this is what the franchise- at least 1 and 2- try to defy. That friendship can overpower anything.

Especially the friendship between Hiccup and Toothless.

And Hiccup didn’t go back to Toothless so he could win back Berk. That wasn’t his main motive. He went back because he loves him. Too much- in fact- to even repent yelling at him afterwards- when he screams “Toothless!” after he is taken by Drago.

Moments after killing his father. So much for “slavery”. You can visualise and make out Hiccup’s emotion when Toothless comes back. Remember what he says? “Attaboy, that’s it!”

Isn’t that genuine friendship?

Look at how happy he is just to see Hiccup. Absolutely heart-warming- and look at where HTTYD 3 puts it.

   Again. I don’t really know what to say. How are these adorable creatures being held captive? Look at him- clearly enjoying the belly rub.

What a farce. Honestly.

  Envoi- final thoughts

 To cap this off, let’s look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

 Let’s look at this. Motifs near the base of the pyramid are significantly more important that those at top.

 In Gift of the Night fury- Toothless rejects autonomous control for his friendship with Hiccup. Toothless inverts the pyramid. Looking at the pyramid, Toothless thinks “love and belonging” is more important than “physiological needs”. Why?

Because one (of the many) reasons Toothless and Hiccup are inseparable is that they are bonded over their shortcomings. And it is these shortcomings, which, mutualistically, they realise are anything but. They make them stronger.

In essence- he puts Hiccup first- then himself. Note- Toothless made this choice. Wasn’t forced, wasn’t subjugated. He chose to do this.

 The third instalment, supposedly markets this too, if we go by the trailer which conjures up a big “Friendship of a lifetime” logo on the screen. That really hyped me up. That was what- I- and so many of us- most fans- wanted- the GOTNF style affirmation that Hiccup and Toothless are indeed inseparable- despite all the terrors that strike their village.

I sold myself (as I am sure many of us viewers did) on this.

Now I wish I hadn’t.

The third movie makes Toothless put his “so called freedom” first, before Hiccup- before friendship. A complete reversal of the picture we have seen in the previous instalments.

We see that, according to Maslow, freedom is a lesser, baser need than friendship.

 I sold myself on this.

Now I wish I hadn’t.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; MUN & MUSE - MEME.

FILL OUT & REPOST ♥ this meme definitely favors canons more, but i hope oc’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. multi-muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

TAGGED BY:  @sternenteile, #1 Geno fan. TAGGING:  Do it.

MY MUSE IS:  canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated

is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO. [ Nope. Most people just call ZPiW the game with anime girls wielding guns. Outside of me, not much fanart is produced of the peach boy, as it’s well, mostly the girls. Miiverse revealed that the ratio is a bit more even but still, peeps really like them girl designs (designed by a female artist) ]

is your character considered hot™ in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK. [ i mean ?? i’ve met and seen many people who have/had crushes on geno so ??????? but i don’t think it’s like. that. ghfskjhgsg??? ]

is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK. [ Personally, I have to say yes. Momotaro is strong as frick because in game, you’re supposed to level towns to “clean them up”. And this is in addition to the traditional Momotaro folktale that, a Momotaro is a strong child who can lift. However, most just look to Snow White as the strongest cuz she dented metal bare handed...and well is the “face” of the game.]

are they underrated?  YES / NO / IDK. [ This game is better known for having girls...with guns. But I wouldn’t say he’s really *that* underrated, considering the basic character is just that...basic. ]

were they relevant for the main story?  YES / NO. [ Well, my theory is that he just stumbled upon the fight between survivors and zombies so...kind of yes? Momotaro was one to actually gather folks to storm the castle as they say, because it seems before hand the other heroes were just minding their own business. So, being the one who talks the most (ironically) and the one that the game follows...yeah he’s relevant.]

were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG. [ Sadly so, in the sense that I wished the devs would’ve allowed for branching plots depending on which character you choose. This is including the fact that the game is purposely trying to emulate how old-school games were bare bones in characterizations and plot.]

are they widely known in their world? YES / NO. [ Just another folklore hero in the world of Wonderland...a place chock FULL of fairy tales and folktales. Though he might’ve garnered a reputation of being destructive after ZPiW... ]

how’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / neutral. [ ]

HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON?  —  Ehhhh...I think I make do with what I got from the teeny breadcrumbs of canon I got...however, many folks commented that Momotaro looks WAAAAAAY tougher than what I make him out to be so...I guess that’s a fail for following canon strictly on my part. .w.;; If I truly went 1:1, things may be bland...or not...I mean there’s as many subversions to the traditional heroes as there are well, the typical shounen stuff.

SELL YOUR MUSE! AKA TRY TO LIST EVERYTHING, WHICH MAKES YOUR MUSE INTERESTING IN YOUR OPINION TO MAKE THEM SPICY FOR YOUR MUTUALS.  —  Is Momotaro an OC at this point? Probably. But hey, if you guys want a lad who’s adorable but tough...you could look elsewhere...or you can find that in Momo! I wanted to try to represent some stuff of special needs, but I’m still working out the kinks...but the kid’s loyal, and a very good cook at that! He definitely needs a confidence booster, but could that be part of his charm? Maybe. But hey, I think y’all might really like the idea I got for him, and mainly Smash! Like, have you ever wondered what goes on in that mansion? ...well yes, but what about those who aren’t fighters? Or even assist trophies! That’s where the smash verse comes in! Take a peek into the (tough) lives of Waddle Dees and the peach boy, along with other creatures not suitable for Smash! They’re just as handy for making sure the place is well run and fed! If someone isn’t cleaning and cooking to maintain 70+ fighters, and 20+ assist trophies...who is?

NOW THE OPPOSITE, LIST EVERYTHING WHY YOUR MUSE COULD NOT BE SO INTERESTING (EVEN IF YOU MAY NOT AGREE, WHAT DOES THE FANDOM PERHAPS THINK?).  —  This is a character from a game whose designers may appreciate the female figure a bit too much. I always have a tough time recommending this game to others, and hell, I’m terrible at playing it myself. Hell, the fact that most of the characters are minors is just a...”why do you design them like this Bo.mi” thing. Most do seem to think highly of those designs though, as that’s the main aspect of the game I keep hearing in my searches. Now, I’ve received a good amount of concerns over the years that Momotaro not speaking proper English is either racist or babyish...or both. Is my take too depressing? There are often times I think yes, and feel unbelievable shame over it despite others going hard on the angst train.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE?  —  Well uh, I believe I was charmed by his rugged but baby appearance in the game..and it just so happen at the time that I was part of a budding rp group. Despite the theme being mostly “OUENDAN”, that was the start of me shoving Momotaro into every fuckin’ thing because he’s cute as shit and obscure muses can be fun too! It was also probably relaxing for me because gosh dang back then I was scared of getting something wrong about someone canon with more lore...and I am still scared about that to this day.

WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING?  —  Studying about Japanese culture, learning the language...the fact that I’ve been rping him for almost 10 years (read like 8-9 at this point)...I do wonder if I should stop rping him...and then I keep hearing that people only want characters only in as fighters, fighters are the only important thing about smash and that grows my weird spite and just continue this “backstage” plot of Smash. Yes, getting a franchise in as a fighter is a VERY high commemoration but, I think it’s just as equally amazing when a franchise gets in as an assist trophy or even a spirit/trophy! So yeah it’s petty and I better find some other motivation soon because it’s exhausting.

SOME MORE PERSONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE MUN.

give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

do you think you give your character justice?  yes / NO / I SINCERELY HOPE I DO? [ Ahaha....I’m starting to give up on that idea at this point, as several noted that Momotaro isn’t as timid in canon as I write him. But I do try to keep those boneheaded traits of the peach boy in my portrayal. ]

do you frequently write headcanons?  YES / NO / SORT OF? [ It’s a must for Momotaro, whose game is a tribute to how the old timey arcade games didn’t have much to their plots. Otherwise, I would think that playing him would end up pretty dry..whether I play him closer to canon or not. ]

do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO [ ...I should write more. ]

do you think a lot about your muse during the day? YES / NO [ Stupidly yes. Been playing him for 8 years so it’s a hard habit to break. ]

are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO / SORT OF? [ I mean, if I wasn’t confident enough I would’ve dropped him...though I have thought about that several times. There be times where I run into some sort of writer’s block due to his meek (and traumatized) nature, and because of how he speaks, it’s scary. Am I pushing his issues too much...? Or just HIM in general...? ]

are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO. [ Again, writer block happens when some muses don’t click, or personally I don’t want to interact with someone. And then when I do want to write with someone, I fear that my simpler (children’s book) ways of writing would be a turn off. I don’t want to end up babbling too long that there’s too much detail but I shudder at seeing single lines in response to long prose. ]

are you a sensitive person?  YES / NO. / sorta. [ Yeaaaah i get stressed and cry at lot at confrontation and just...anxiety in general. Been trying to keep that off the dash though, as I’m sure peeps got their own troubles already. DMs are good to have y’all. ]

DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL?  —  I do my best to take crits when I get them but sometimes it just haunts me because I have mixed feelings on being told that the way he speaks is racist or childish.  But hey, if you got more advice on how to write trauma and special needs, I’m all ears! Particularly because I’m writing from my own experience in my life and research. ...Dad isn’t that superb at speaking English and that's where I got the Momo speak.

DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER?  —  Yes please...but at this point I kinda have sadly accepted that’s just gonna be rare because he’s obscure.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?  —  as my take on Momotaro is very meek, I’d like to see how one would take  on a more confident/more canon true take on him. But that’s a pipe dream. Coruse the only headcanon I will never take (that I fear the fandom will have due to perverted nature) is that he’s just a fuckin harem protag wanting to get into pants. To that I say: NO. In canon he doesn’t give a fuck about the fact his teammates are girls...or even acknowledges that they're girls. It’s the time to survive, not boogie on beds...or at a tree.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT?  — I anticipate that wholly because again, I have gotten comments that my take on Momotaro has not properly prepared them to witness the sheer destruction and toughness that is canontaro. Honestly I’d be hyped to see more takes...except for the harem route ones. Am I gonna jinx myself for saying it that much?

IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?  —  I probably would be sad but understanding...I mean it’s not the first time that someone has taken deep offense at Momo and me, mainly in the rp sense. I would hope they would at least go find something that makes them happy.

ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS?  —  Yep yep. Or well stealth editing too, that helps.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN?   —  Ehhhh....maybe...? I mean most think I’m chill but, I’m a ball of anxiety at times. But, I am also one who reaches out because, gosh dang...a lot of peeps are nervous beans and that’s okay. So...it’s a sort of, yeah.

Spiderwick Chronicles Movie

Alrighty. I was pissed when this movie came out in 2008, I was 11 and had read the series at least half a dozen times by then. (I first read it when I was 8-9). It just lost so much of the detail—and shoved 5 books into one movie (though they were short)

Now I’m 22 and watching it for the first time since then.

Arthur’s lab with all the creatures is neat and the creating of his journal—nice imagery—but none of these animals are kept in the proper housing...

House of shacks on shacks

Omggg the mom is Ruth from fried green tomatoes

Mallory is cute—god I wanted to learn to fence so badly cause of her. “I’m worse than mom cause she doesn’t believe in hitting” peak older sibling

Alright this has some pretty Great sibling lines—Simon’s “I’m a pacifist” while his brother and sister are dueling

It’s too bad they didn’t get real twins—it would’ve been easier tbh lol and Simon prob would’ve been more involved

This sibling dialogue is superb I love it

I really wanna reread these books now lol

Awww the journal has a warning label like the book series—of course Thimbletack wrote it

The weird magic thing from opening the journal is weird—but I think it’s due to Mulgarath and his search for the journal.

The designs are a little off from Tony Diterlizzi’s but it’s close

Hogsqueal’s design is better than Thimbletack but the flesh colors are really weird—I imagined them to have more of a fur-thing going on

Hogsqueal’s love of birds lmaoo—two moods: kill mulgarath and BIIIRD

I loved the scene with Mallory fighting goblins with Jared’s directions in the book and I love it still in the movie

Thimbletack is PISSED. Martin Short was a great pick for him.

Why wouldn’t the book burn?? That’s so weird. I thought it’d end up being a fake one

The troll looks nice. I remember distinctly hating the scene where Mallory and Jared come up out of the man hole with the troll getting hit by the car—I don’t even remember if the troll chase was in the books.

But now?? Lmaoooo “did I hit someone?” “Yes, thank you!”

Aunt Lucinda should’ve been older maybe I think that cause I know what old-old people look like now lol

THE FAIRIES!! They are perfect little flowers. They are def the closest to the original design.

BIRD! BIRD!! Seth Rogen is perfect too tbh. Hogsqueal was always my fav lol

Summoning a Griffin—says all the fancy words— looks around the kitchen expecting it to just show up lmaooo wtf. Hogsqueal is gonna figure out how to eat Bryon.

Where the hell are they on their flight?? What’s with the wall of ice and mountains? That’s weird.

Arthur’s glade is weird—and none of the fairy queens? Leaders? Make an appearance

And Mallory was never taken and put in a glass coffin which I am still deeply upset about

I don’t remember their mom ever knowing the truth but I like it “good thing we’re New Yorkers” wtfff

The family that slays goblins together stays together. (Poor Jared he’s only got a spray bottle and tomato juice—everyone else has some form of cutlery)—their whole house is being destroyed I remember in the books it took place in Mulgarath’s lair

Mulgarath is ugly and gross. Nothing like his original design—he’s got fur coming out of his lower back solely to cover his ass wtfff and then it wraps around his waist like a belt to cover the pepe

Oh wow they got a “oh shi-“ that’s surprising

And now Mulgarath is posing as their dad. This was heartbreaking in the book.

“You’re not my dad!!” FULL ON STAB YOURE DAD IN THE HEART

Mallory is full protective older sibling.

I am SHOOK. Hogsqueal straight up murdered Mulgarath. “I ate him! That’s teamwork!!” Omgg I love it

They brought Lucinda home!! And she gets to see her dad walk down the drive (I think I’m the books she visited him in his glade but idk)

That was cool how they showed her hand get younger as she was holding her dads hand

I still want an animated series Netflix. You could make it even better.

Have you ever been in love with an island?

Camiguin will always be an island that has a lot to offer. You want to go sunbathing on the beach? Check! Trekking on an inactive volcano? Absolutely! Springs? You can choose from cold or hot and they even have a carbonated water spring! Ruins of time? Say no more. The island is small in area and very opposite to the life of a busy city. The locals are nice and accommodating. Their food is superb. I probably don’t have to mention how sweet their lansones is and it’s also the home to the award-winning pastel.

As of now, there are only two flights from Cebu bound to Camiguin either through Cebu Pacific Airlines or Philippine Airlines. When arriving at the Camiguin airport, there aren’t a lot of public transportations that can bring you to your place of accommodation so you either have to ride an airport shuttle service from your hotel or resort or you can hail a motorcycle. Most tourists rent motorcycles while on their stay in the island basically because it is the most convenient and efficient way to circumnavigate the island. You’ll have to ask whether it’s inclusive of the driver and/or the fuel costs.

Camiguin Blue Lagoon Cottages became our home for four days and three nights in Camiguin. The clean and cozy resort is located within the surrounding area of the Taguines Lagoon in Benoni, Mahinog with an overlooking view over the picturesque lagoon as well as the Mantigue Island and the Pacific Ocean beyond it.

Just a little walk from the Tagines Lagoon is where the Katunggan Mangrove Forest Park is located. The place has bridges built on the water to let you tour over the mangroves. The place is stern and serene ecopark lets you enjoy the sea breeze with your family and friends or even alone.

Camiguin has two islets both of which are a haven for beach goers who love the blue sea and the white sands. Access to the Mantigue Island is by a boat at a fixed rate of Php600 per boat good for six persons on top of the Php50 entrance fee per person. If you are on a solo adventure or your barkada’s headcount is lower than six, you can be friendly and join other packs to reach six persons per boat since the price is nonnegotiable since it has been set by the tourism committee itself to protect both the tourism and the tourists. Mantigue is an island and a sanctuary to wild plants and marine animals.

Another islet is the White Island which is christened as the Naked Fortress of Camiguin due to its white sandbar which changes shapes depending on the waves of the tides. Boat ride to the island is fixed at Php450 and entrance fee is at Php50 per head. The headcount per boat is still six persons so if you want to save costs, being friendly is the key. The island has a great view of the volcanoes and the view of the mountains holds a close resemblance to Te Fiti Island from Disney’s Moana. The waters are clear on the shorelines and a varying shade of blue as they go deeper into the sea of what can only be described as nature’s monochromatic divine creation.

Camiguin is also well-known for the eruption of Mt. Vulcan or presently known as the Old Volcano back in 1871 which was a tragic history to remember. A lot of infrastructures were destroyed. Hundreds of lives were lost and it buried a beautiful town into a mass of rubbles from the earth itself. Years later after the town has been rebuilt, the ruins of time became castles of eternity – a naked ambiance that radiates the essence of the structure’s life.

Visiting the Guiob Church Ruins can be melancholic knowing that it used to be a significant place of faith where people gather for the religious congregation and people have actually lost their lives there. However, going to the ruins and seeing the remains will make you appreciate how time heals the wounds and how there is beauty in adversity. In there, you may light a candle and pray for the people and the world. The relics of the church and the convent have aged gorgeously through time. The edifices were still intact except that they don’t have roofs anymore. The bellowing winds and the roaring waves from the nearby shores provide a gentle breeze to the remnants of the church grounds. The shades of the dancing trees provide shelter to the folks on the ground. Meditating and pondering about your life will be a good thing to do here since the place is best for relaxation of the body and the soul.

One of the most iconic ruins of the volcanic eruption is the Sunken Cemetery where the whole garden of remembrance sank to the deep seawaters. The only remnant which can be seen above the surface of the water is the colossal cross. The remains of the dead buried there were relocated to another solemn place. The area is now known to be a diving spot to tourists and a home to marine creatures.

The Old Volcano has gone inactive since its last eruption decades ago, hence, one of the attractions in the island is The Walkway to the Old Volcano and Stations of the Cross. The dome-shaped volcano has now become one of trekkers’ favorite trekking spot. The trail is marked by the 14 Stations of the Cross all the way to the summit of the volcano. The trail starts on with the concreted steps under the shelter of the trees but as it goes further, the concreted steps will be gone and replaced by the ground’s dirt which will make you feel the sensation of being connected to the ancestries of the earth. The giant trees will be fewer each time you trek further so the roasting heat of the sun can be felt on a sizzling summer day. If you love keeping fit and/or reliving your faith as a Christian, this is a good place to stroll around and contemplate.

Known as The Island Born of Fire, Camiguin has total count of seven volcanos which exceeds the number of its towns which is only five in number. The volcanos have definitely shaped the island into what it is now. The PhilVolcs Observatory in Mambajao is open to the public anyone is interested to learn about the volcanos in the island. The steep ride to the observatory will be worthwhile for it offers an overlooking view of the Mambajao town as well as the shores of the White Island. The spot is even better at night for it presents the captivating overlooking view of the Camiguin nightscapes.

The iconic trio of Mt. Tres Marias is one of the seven volcanos in the Island. The mountains are known for their seemingly identical views over a point of view when in fact they are not so adjacent from each other. The view can be hiding in a plain sight so having a local with you is an advantage so as not to miss any sites to feast your eyes on in the island.

Being in a volcanic island also means you get to enjoy springs with either hot or cold temperatures. The Ardent Hot Spring is situated in the town of Mambajao which offers warm and relaxing bath to the tourists. Although the temperature of the sections varies depending on the spot of the water, you get to enjoy a hot bath especially when you go there at sundown.

In a hot summer day, the Sto. Niño Cold Spring in Catarman offers a very ice-cold bath with its crystal clear waters. The cold spring is an oasis of cool sensations which can be adored after a long trip under the scorching heat of the mighty sun.

As if the hot and cold springs are not enough, the island also has the possession of a soda spring which is made up of of a carbonated water. The Bura Soda Spring’s water tastes like soda due to the natural carbonation in the water. Isn’t it peculiarly stunning? Unfortunately, we were not able to experience bathing in soda due to time conflicts in our itinerary but it’s definitely a must-try attraction for both local and foreign tourists.

Nature is really generous in Camiguin for it has a number of bewildering waterfalls which will bring joy to your soul not only because of its crystal clear waters but because it brings you to the paradise of first creations. The Tuasan Falls in Catarman is a sight to behold with its heavy splash of falling waters where you can take your refreshing bath and swim in the mighty design of Mother Nature herself. The Katibawasan Falls has high slow moving water that is flowing from the top of the hard rocks. The relaxed straight down flow of the water is so splendid that it will give you a glimpse of nature’s soul in the presence of the water as it flows. The waterfalls in Camiguin are so grandiose and if someone says that the water nymphs are incarnated there, I would accept it as true.

On the day of our departure, we bought the award-winning pastel on our way to the airport. The Vjandep (pronounced as “van-dep”) Bakery which bakes the iconic sweet classic yema pastel is located in the busy streets of Mambajao and has been in business of baking goodness since 1990. We can consider this as the obligatory pasalubong when coming back from Camiguin.

The escape to the paradise island was definitely a remarkable experience which I wanted to remember through this travel journal. I will always treasure the experiences and the memories which I’ve acquired in the island.

While waiting for our return flight to Cebu, I got the familiar feeling that I had when I left the island during my last visit. Every time I leave the island, a part of me always wants to come back. The feeling seems like a part of my soul was left somewhere there and constantly pleads me to reunite with it. For that, I can confirm – I am indeed in love with the island. I do love Camiguin… and I’m certain that all the folks who had been there felt the same.

Leading 5 Props For Creative Photo Shoots

So as to produce an authentic job as well as inspire your style to strike even more artistic poses, a couple of basic props can happen quite helpful. Thoroughly selected props, apart from including action and color, are going to help a worried version if she is actually still in some way clumsy along with the palms and also posing.

A Towel

A dazzling white colored 'bathroom kind' towel is lighting, quick and easy to bring all around set. The 'semi-naked' impacts that may be created using a basic towel are fantastic.

The style can savor different poses related to her enthusiasm, and in thus carrying out, creating the images much more involved and lively.

Hats

If someone inquires me, what will be my primary garments extra, I perform say a hat. A hat can be made use of in a variety of methods. If utilized the appropriate way it adds attraction quickly to the model. On bright times, it will diffuse lightweight falling on the skin well, therefore highlight much better skin tones. Same as along with the towel, it can be made use of smartly against a design's chest, butts and also other private parts. Like sunglasses, a hat may be utilized intentionally to hide the model's identity. This can be quite handy for versions, which are actually still new in underwear photo shoots and also would certainly like to be subtle.

An Office chair

In order to broaden one's presenting repertory, a chair or a chair would suffice. With my experience, I have learned that models perform to discover these props really motivating. Most of the models scarcely need directions to pose when utilizing a stool or a chair; apart from the few patches up such as, just how much to arch their back, healthy onward or even expand their upper arms. If you are doing an outdoor photo shoot, I would certainly also propose having a hammock readily available in the event that the place permits this type of setup.

Water

Finally, always keep some tiny water bottles always convenient. Apart from the obvious use of having water around, you can make a lot of spirited shoots along with canteen. This can be very effective if you are actually capturing 2 styles. Consuming, splashing, spraying water can add movement, personality as well as exciting in your photos. That stated that versions should regularly be bleak and pensive!

As you go on from one photo shoot to an additional, you would like to add additional props to your photographic things. Regularly try to obtain some feedback from your models, as their idea may aid you in presenting a lot more effective props to deal with. Props must be actually part and parcel of your daily photo shoots, in such a way to flavor and also strengthen your photographic knowledge.

Props can include that little additional aiding submit, creating it simpler in pointing aversion. Still, in succeeding in positioning a model for a photo shoot is greater than just props.

The Nonsense Thing in Diamond’s Head Today 4: My Favorite Pokemon

*Lusamine header for no reason whatsoever*

Diamond here with another weird thing. To further expand into Pokemon-related topics, I thought I’d teach you a bit about me and direct your attention to my header photo. That is a grid of my favorite Pokemon of each type. Why did I choose those? What significance do they have? You’re about to find out! I will list these in order by type - I have no real order for which ones I like more than others. Let’s get started!

GRASS: SERPERIOR. Serperior is the final form of Snivy, the Gen 5 Grass starter. I pick Serperior for two reasons. First, its Hidden Ability. Contrary is one of the best abilities in the game. Serperior uses it masterfully. It has access to Leaf Storm, a move that usually lowers the user’s Special Attack. But with a Contrary Pokemon, that Special Attack is going straight up. Yes, each turn a Contrary Serperior uses Leaf Storm, it will only get stronger. If that’s not fabulous I don’t know what is. Reason 2: It just looks so cool. It’s a 10'10 snake. It could literally kill and eat you. So regal and snaky.

FIRE: INFERNAPE. Infernape, the final form of Gen 4 Fire starter Chimchar. Infernape holds special significance to me. I started my Pokemon journey with Pokemon Diamond, knowing nothing about the game or creatures within. Chimchar was my first. Yes, Chimchar is my equivalent to Ash’s Pikachu, Brock’s Steelix, May’s Blaziken, Dawn’s Piplup, Serena’s Braixen, and Lillie’s Vulpix, Snowy. Infernape and I went through a great journey together and I couldn’t ask for a better partner.

WATER: SHARPEDO/MEGA SHARPEDO. Though Infernape might be my first, Water is in fact my favorite type. Sharpedo, Archie’s partner, wasn’t a Pokemon I gave much thought to until Gen 6. Gen 6 gave it a pretty great boost with a Mega Evolution. There’s a combination I like to use with my Sharpedo. First, I protect it for a turn (or two if I’m lucky) and let its Hidden Ability Speed Boost bulk it up a bit. Then I Mega Evolve it and let Jaws tear up the field. It’s a Pokemon that can use Strong Jaw to its advantage! Not to mention the Mega Evolution is sick. It’s super big and has spikes protruding from its nose. You are not safe. I’m still waiting for a Pokemon parody of Sharknado with Sharpedo. It is my first and favorite choice of Mega.

NORMAL: SILVALLY. Here’s another one falling into the “Cool Looks and Ability” category! It’s Gladion’s best buddy and discount Arceus. The discount Arceus factor is part of my reasoning for choosing it. The other is its utter versatility. All its stats are equal, meaning it has ground as a Physical Attacker, Special Attacker, or maybe both. Its signature move, Multi-Attack, will always be STAB, Memory or not. And have you seen Gladion’s Silvally? So cool.

ELECTRIC: LUXRAY. The electric lion of the Sinnoh region takes this slot. I’ve always liked Luxray’s appearance. That jet black fur with the gleaming eyes is really intimidating. Speaking of Intimidate, it has the ability going for it (even if its stats are trash). Not sold on why you should like Luxray? Look at Clemont’s. He’s so cool. He’s Clemont’s war beast that lights up the field with Electric Terrain and jumps on Ash. “A Campus Reunion” is one of my favorite episodes of X and Y, and Luxray is a big part of that.

PSYCHIC: MEOWSTIC. Oh yes, I am choosing the advanced version of demon spawn cat Espurr for this one. Meowstic has a unique concept in that both genders have different appearances, movesets, and abilities. Females go on the offensive (which is awesome in itself), while males stick to defense. The male sticks out here for me because he has access to Prankster, a great ability that gives priority to status moves such as Swagger, Taunt, and Torment. The female has access to Competitive, which is okay but not as great as Prankster. The male also just looks cooler. The vivid blue with white stripes just feels better to me than vice versa.

FIGHTING: LUCARIO. The Pokemon that helped decode the mystery of Mew! I love Lucario. It has reached the iconic state shared by Pokemon such as Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo. While it may not be the best stat-wise, its character makes up for that. It’s a loyal puppo that can throw Aura Spheres and make bones in its hands. I mained it for a while during Smash. And can I add how cool it is in the anime? Maylene’s Lucario takes no shit from her because it knows she can do better. Cameron may be a pathetic rival, but his Lucario is really tough and relatable (seriously… have you seen it eating ice cream?). Korrina’s Lucario is loyal and truly wants to improve when it can’t control its Mega Evolution. Lucario’s Mega is cool, but underwhelming compared to others. I will always stick with my original Fighting-Steel puppo.

ROCK: LYCANROC MIDNIGHT FORME. In case you didn’t get the hint from my Lucario analysis, I love dogs. Lycanroc is an awesome dog. Three forms, all with different strengths and cool links to the elements. None of them are the most superior in competitive play, but they’ve already become infamous among Pokemon fans. I choose the Midnight Form as my favorite because it’s an awesome rock werewolf. It just looks so cool! It also executes its special Z-Move, Splintered Stormshards, the snazziest. Midday Lycanroc is a standard loyal Poke-doggo, but it doesn’t have the same charm as Midnight Lycanroc for me. Dusk Lycanroc is a fusion between the two, but my OCD will not ignore that blue and red do NOT make green. I’ll battle with my loyal, badass lycanthrope any day!

GROUND: MUDSDALE. THE GORGEOUS HORSIE OF THE ALOLA REGION! The minute I laid my eyes on Mudsdale, I knew it would be awesome. I doubt you’re surprised if you read my content. I love how it’s based on the Clydesdale horse, which can get HUMONGOUS. (Google them!) I’m 5'9 and I could ride this if it was real (unlike Charizard)! Its Stamina ability is superb and has helped kick my ass many times. Plus it has cool dreadlocks! Not to mention its connection to Hapu, a perfect cupcake of a Pokemon character. I fully expect that Pokemon theme park that’s opening in 2020 to have a Mudsdale merry-go-round. I NEED TO RIDE MY PONY.

FLYING: DRIFBLIM. Gen Z, a long time ago when we played with Wiis, we had a game called My Pokemon Ranch. The game allowed you to watch Pokemon up to Gen 4 and transfer your own Pokemon from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. You can also visit other people’s ranches, and when you do, a Pokemon close to you follows you. That Pokemon for me was Drifblim. The dopey-looking balloon thing from Gen 4 was glued to my side when I visited my friends. I’m amused that it’s gaining some viability in tournament play now with Tapu Lele and Unburden. My choice is less about the tournament play and more about how a balloon was my best friend in a cheesy Pokemon spin-off.

BUG: SCOLIPEDE. The largest Bug-type in the Pokeverse. I was still a little naive when I got Pokemon Black. Scolipede was one of my first captures in the game and became a staple of my team. I love its design. Most Bug-types are pretty small and don’t intimidate the opponent too much. Scolipede does this. It’s even larger than Buzzwole and Pheromosa! The stats and abilities got a mild boost in Gen 6, with the Attack gaining an additional 10 points and its Hidden Ability becoming Speed Boost. I do believe my wonderful horror movie beast is underrated and should get more appreciation instead of being delegated to an antagonistic role in the anime.

POISON: MAREANIE. James’s latest crush also has a spot in my heart. Mareanie has a wonderful design. A blue and purple color palette that can poison a person with less effort than Nililego. Mareanie and her evolution, Toxapex, have access to two boss abilities, Merciless and Regenerator. Toxapex is cool, but it’s a theory I have with Mareanie that causes the pre-evolution to win me over. If Mareanie can fully wrap herself around James’s giant head, it could wrap around my torso and carry my necessities in its tentacles. It’s a companion and a backpack! Thank God for Mareanie.

DARK: WEAVILE. Another Pokemon I have fond memories of from my Diamond and Pearl days, Weavile is the long-awaited evolution of Sneasel from Gen 4. I caught a Sneasel and played around with her for a while… AND THEN MY NAIVE BUTT LEARNED HOW YOU EVOLVE IT. I patiently waited until it became dark outside and I leveled Sneasel up and BAM WEAVILE. Weavile became one of my most used Pokemon in that game. For tournament play, its stats are actually pretty good, and both its abilities (Pressure and Pickpocket) do damage in different ways. And it just looks so menacing! That’s what a Dark-type should be.

GHOST: MIMIKYU. I mean… what’s not to love about a Pikachu clone? Okay, it’s not a clone in the essence of Pachirisu or Togedemaru. The concept around it is so heartbreaking and creepy and lovable. Unlike most Ghost-types, Mimikyu just wants to be your friend! It’s super powerful, too. Its Disguise ability is amazing and can change the dynamic of a battle in seconds. Its typing also gives it few weaknesses and THREE immunities. And need I mention the Z-Move? It’s the best Z-Move I’ve ever seen. Splintered Stormshards is cool, but you really need to look out for the dreaded Let’s Snuggle Forever. Mimikyu just wants to do its best for you and you should love it.

ICE: ALOLAN VULPIX. Yes, Snowy is in on this! I’ve always loved the Fire-type Vulpix. But when it gained the Ice-type, it became 10 times fluffier! It’s a walking cotton ball! I’m disappointed Build-a-Bear only has the Fire variant because I want to get the Ice variant and hug it and love it and pet it and squeeze it. And y'all know by now how I feel about Lillie and her family. Snowy is so supportive of her! Even though she’s the youngest Pokemon of the main characters, she clearly understands Lillie’s past and trouble with touching Pokemon. She gives Lillie a nice distance while staying close. One of the most supportive Pokemon I’ve ever seen. And I want one as a pet. (Oh yeah and it and its evolution have access to Snow Warning which is also pretty fab.)

STEEL: EXCADRILL. I have a special relationship with the Subterrene Pokemon. The minute I saw Iris’s Excadrill, I wanted to train one. It looks awesome! A badass drill mole with a ‘tude. And it can hold its own in tournament play! Defensively, its typing is awesome. The Steel-type can resist so much and switch into Toxic without fear. It can learn not one, but TWO OHKO moves (Fissure and Horn Drill). And the three abilities it has access to are all great. You could go for pure power with Sand Force, get the upper hand on speed with Sand Rush, or negate abilities like Levitate and Fur Coat with Mold Breaker! Its small size doesn’t do it justice considering how big of a threat it is.

DRAGON: DRAMPA. FALKOR. At least that’s what I thought when I saw Turtonator’s Moon counterpart for the first time. Believe it or not, Falkor actually has some things going for it! Two out of its three possible abilities are amazing. Cloud Nine removes the effects of weather, while Berserk shoots that Special Attack up after HP is halved. Plus, it’s so fluffy! Lana and Mallow playing with this guy gives me all the feels. You do you, Falkor.

FAIRY: PRIMARINA. I end this list by fawning over the final form of our beloved Popplio. I was hesitant as to what the clown seal would evolve into. But this thing just straight-up Neville Longbottomed. It is beautiful! It looks like it came out of a Disney movie. Its battling skills aren’t too shabby, either. Sparkling Aria hits everyone on the field and heals burns for some reason. But it could help heal a partner with Water Absorb or Dry Skin. The Z-Move this can turn into, Oceanic Operetta, just blows my mind with the animation. If you want a reason to use Sparkling Aria, the Z-Move is a good reason. But let’s get to the best part: Its Hidden Ability, Liquid Voice. HYPER VOICE IS WATER NOW. 'Nuff said.

And now you know my favorite Pokemon. My team and I would love a battle sometime. Diamond out!

Google Chimera Painter Lets You Turn Doodles into Monsters

Whether you are a painter or not, Google can now transform your drawings into a masterpiece. Google’s Chimera has an outstanding capability that can convert any sketch. The word “Chimera” got popular after Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible II. And, Google’s Chimera will help you in turning a rough sketch of a monster into a realistic one.

Chimera Painter

Google’s Chimera Painter can create monsters. The user can give these monsters a fearsome look. For digital artists, it works like a paintbrush. The AI-based models help to reduce the time taken to produce high-quality art. After designing the colored picture of a creature, the user will see an animated picture. The “Transform” button converts every bit of the picture into a real creature. It was not Google who first built such platforms. Nvidia has built super-awesome landscapes using the GauGAN. IBM and MIT’s GANPaint Studio can create superb marvels and buildings.

GAN & Photorealism

Google’s Chimera works on AI-based Generative Adversarial Networks. It is a class of Machine Learning models. In this, two neural networks compete with each other. So, it relies on a zero-sum game. By giving a training set, it generates new data with the same statistics. Hence, it discovers and learns the regularities or patterns. The generative network of GAN generates a latent space (inferred from datasets). The evaluation of the efficiency of latent space by discriminative network distinguishes it from the real data. GAN finds its application in video games, astronomical imaging, advertisement, etc. Another approach adopted by Google is Photorealism. Photorealism combines drawing, painting, and graphic media. The photorealists work more on the photographs to generate art. It unites light and color to deliver real-time canvas.

Using Google Chimera

Go to the website of Chimera Painter.

Accept the terms and conditions.

A new screen opens.

On the left-side window, check the body features.

Start drawing the creature.

To change the creature, search for number buttons. There are four types of creatures available for the user to draw and paint.

In case of a mistake, use the Erase button at the bottom of the left-side window.

After completion, tap the Transform button. The simulation will start to produce art.

Note that the user cannot change the color of body features. So, if the eye color is green, it will always remain green. One can change the size of the paintbrush by tapping the circles. Also, there is one “Load” option available to upload the image. But it is not very good at this moment. As a result, it is better not to use the Load button. The Transform button may take time to build the output.

Travelling around India is always a visual adventure- whether one walks, drives, commutes by train or any other available transport.

Elephant Safari

India is the land with the Asian grasslands and its wide landscape allows it to be home to multitude species of flora and fauna, with a number of them on the endangered list. The wildlife enjoy great protection in the various wildlife sanctuaries found all across India. The well-being of the creatures are usually the top priority. To ensure safety of visitors, trekking or walking tours may be prohibited in some of the nature reserves and sanctuaries. Going on an elephant ride has proven to be the best way to view many of the wild creatures up close, without agitating any of the animals. Elephant rides can also be arranged when visiting the royal palaces in Jaipur and Jodhpur. These regal rides are part of the royal experiences that visitors can expect when exploring the land of the Rajput.

Camel Safari

In a diverse landscape that is India, it is not surprising to tour bustling cities, idyllic beaches, lush plantations or the arid desert. Rajasthan, the biggest state of India is home to the Thar desert which borders the magnificent cities of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, to name a few. While treks to the fabulous forts and palaces are fascinating part of any travel plan, the camel safari to the desert, either for a sunset or overnight trip, remains an unsurpassed experience. The gentle ships of the desert allow the rider to enjoy wonderful views, not possible from the ground, while presenting a challenge to remain seated on the humps, especially for the inexperienced visitors.

Mehendi

Traditionally used on the hands of the Indian bride and bridegroom, the mehendi paste is made from the henna powder known for its rich blood-red dye. It is said that the depth of the redness indicates how much the bride loves her husband to be. Elaborate designs beautify the brides' palms and fingers, The groom usually spots maroon topped fingers as the henna paste is left to cover the finger tips and mounds of the paste left to make dyed spots in circular arrangement on his palms. Now mehendi can be sported on any festive occasions by the ladies and visitors, on tour to any region of India, should have a go at their hands decorated in rich red patterns that are created in free-flow. The temporary dye has a strong smell but not pungent. The deep colour will wear off in days unlike the memory of mehendi covered hands.

Bollywood Movies

The industry that produces majority of movies released worldwide and with glamorous and incredibly good-looking celebrities and talented artistes, is the Mumbai magnet, drawing visitors and starlets looking for their big break. Catching a Bollywood movie on the big screen will certainly bring the larger than life characters, literally larger and more poignant. The most glitzy costumes, with song and dance of revelry and credible acting is something to savor up close. With so much to enjoy and explore, many have gladly agreed that a single tour to India is never enough to experience all that the incredible land has to offer. And repeated travel visits will not in any way, diminish the amazing allure of incredible India.

Hominid Fossils and Creationism

In response to this question:

Hello sir. Would you please share your view on the alleged evidence for human evolution? What is a reliable creationist book that faithfully discusses this issue? Thank you very much.

Thanks for the question. I think there has been a problem in the creationist and intelligent design literature in that many come to this question simply seeking to vindicate what they perceive to be the “traditional” understanding of human development and origins, rather than coming to the data and asking what new information we can learn from these fossils- from within a creationist perspective. I cannot recommend anything more highly than Todd Wood. He blogs here:

http://toddcwood.blogspot.com/

His book Understanding the Pattern of Life is a somewhat dated, but still superb, explanation of contemporary creationist baraminology- the science of classifying the created kinds originally made by God. In other words, it seeks to discover which sets of species are descended from a common ancestor and which are not. The ultimate goal is to classify all living organisms and fossils in their proper baramin (a combination of the Hebrew words for create and kind). This is important because humans are no less part of this than any other creature. Wood argues that traditional Darwinian mechanisms of evolutionary change are not sufficient to explain the speed of diversification after the Flood, where approximately 8,000 baramins from the ark diversified into thousands of species within three centuries. There are certain non-Darwinian, inherently teleological mechanisms of change, mechanisms which are triggered when animals enter empty environments or otherwise are forced to rapidly adapt.

The human baramin includes all creatures descended from Adam and Eve. All bear the Image of God and thus have the capacity for rational thought. Yet, just as other baramins have many species, so also it is possible that the human baramin has many species under its umbrella. Even though the modern human baramin is monospecific, it’s clear that this was not always true. This is why you had creatures like Homo Erectus and Homo Neanderthalensis. And that’s just the species most similar to H. Sapiens. You had H Floresiensis, the “hobbit” man with a tiny skull of 500 cc. Yet, legends on the island of Flores speak of such a race of small people, indicating that these hobbit men survived until the past couple of centuries- and the traditions clearly speak of them as having clothes and language, the telltale signs of humanity, language being an indelible marker of rationality and abstract thought. Scientists have discovered that it is the structure of the brain, rather than its size, which counts. The most recent find, Homo Naledi, is perhaps the most exciting. Two separate burial sites have been discovered. This means that these tiny men buried their dead- this is something only people do. Yet, they bear many of the signs thought to have been characteristic of apes. But here’s the kicker: by conventional dating, they are extremely recent, a mere 250,000 years ago. This is a sign that the creationist model is on the right track: a burst of diversification after the Flood, which constitutes the Cenozoic fossil record. Humans diversified from a central point in the Middle East- and in fact, at Dmanisi, a mere stone’s throw away from Ararat (relatively speaking), you have a single population of hominids with huge variation in structure- had these fossils been found separately in separate locations, they would be identified as widely divergent branches on an evolutionary tree.

Here’s the long and short of it: we need to move past the dichotomy of “evolutionary origins” and “creationist ideas in the 19th and early 20th centuries.” We’ve found lots of new information. This is all compatible with a creationist model- indeed, I think it ultimately supports a creationist model. But just as there are many different views in conventional science as to the nature of evolution, there are many different creationist models compatible with the biblical revelation. We need to approach this new information with excitement, understanding that our models will develop and grow as they directly engage with the data, even as they remain faithful to the words of God.

So, as for books? You can’t beat Understanding the Pattern of Life for baraminology. Kurt Wise’s Faith, Form, and Time deals with this, as does Paul Garner’s The New Creationism. I can very cautiously suggest the Discovery Institute’s Science and Human Origins, with the exception of Casey Luskin’s chapter on the fossil record, which I perceived as warmed-over propaganda- not intentionally, mind-you, but it suffers from the problems I described at the beginning of this piece.

How to Be a Mermaid

Have you ever dreamed of having a mermaid tail and skimming by means of the water with the fish? Of feeling and looking like a real mermaid, your hair flowing behind you as you swirl and twirl underwater?

Effectively, it's doable right this moment to be a mermaid-though I am afraid I am unable to promise you can breathe under water!

No, I'm speaking a couple of new pastime which is rising across the globe, and it's known as mermaiding. Not just girls and women are doing it, but so are boys and males.

Many of us have been impressed by the well-known international model, Hannah Fraser, also called Hannah Mermaid. She dreamed of being a mermaid since she was 9 years old. As she acquired older, she began modeling. Ultimately she began crafting her personal full mermaid costumes and doing underwater photograph and video shoots. She now has three gorgeous, one-of-a-variety tails and lots of superb footage you possibly can view on her web site by googling "Hannah Mermaid." She has mermaided with sea turtles, dolphins, fish and whales!!! She has trained herself to withstand ocean pressure down to virtually forty toes, and she can gold her breath for 2 minutes.

It's also possible to do a search on YouTube for "mermaid" and you will find a number of people who are making and swimming in their own mermaid tails.

So now you understand about mermaiding, and you may't wait to get started. If you know the way to sew and have the time, you may make your personal easy tail. Sasha Mermaid has a beautiful YouTube video tutorial on "How you can Make A Mermaid Tail.

In order for you a tail but don't wish to sew one, you will discover a company which makes mermaid tails, tops and accessories. There are a number of out there, including a few eBay sellers. Prices vary from 100 dollars to over a thousand dollars.

Now that you've your tail, an identical high and maybe a seashell necklace or two, you might be able to mermaid.

The tails use a monofin, which is a single flipper which each your ft match into. It takes a little bit getting used to, swimming together with your legs attached together in your tail. Should you already know the dolphin swim, this is a great stroke to do with the tail on. But you need not know any special swim strokes-the tail with the monofin itself will trigger you to swim mermaid-trend. It looks very beautiful in the water, is fast and fun to do.

Now, to enhance your mermaiding, there are several expertise to master. First, it's worthwhile to swim, dive and do twirls within the water with out ever holding your nostril. In case you are used to holding your nose, your first step is to learn to blow out slightly when you first go beneath and study to not maintain your nose anymore. In the event you apply this quite a bit, however discover that there are occasions you possibly can't get by with out holding your nose or too much water comes in, I recommend you get a transparent noseplug particularly for swimming. You can slip it onto the top of your nostril and it'll hold the water out, it doesn't matter what you do in the water. Since it is clear, it won't draw consideration to itself.

Secondly, it is advisable to observe holding your breath for longer intervals of time underneath water. Use frequent sense and caution-do not let yourself get into danger or cross out. But from my research I've discovered that studying to carry your breath for long durations of time merely comes with observe and studying to loosen up within the water. The mermaid performers in Weeki Wachee, Florida, swim and apply each day. A few of them have realized to carry their breath as much as six minutes lengthy! Another mermaid mannequin, Mermaid Linden, hires herself out for mermaid performances and she has educated herself to carry her breath for 4 and a half minutes!

Again, this costume is suitable to put on for seaside or pool aspect events, it might be put on for events like Halloween and of course costume parties. Because the mermaid costume is vivid and shinning sufficient to maintain all eyes on you, heavy and intense make up is just not vital. A lightweight make up will do to maintain it easy but lovely!

If you're thinking what to do with your hair, simply let your hair drop and put a flower at the side of it which makes you appear to be a princess. Nevertheless, if you are afraid that your hair would cowl up the great thing about your costume on the upper side, then tie a bun!

And the last essential factor to pay attention to is your shoe! Do wear any colour of heels which matches your costume, never put on palms or slippers which is able to spoil the whole mermaid look or if you're on the seaside then heels will not be obligatory in fact. Which actual mermaid wears heels anyway?

It was believed that a creature of higher human physique and lower fish physique had circulated the oceans again 5,000 B.C.

In the thirteenth century, an individual Physiologus in his ebook of animal research had described about actual 'mermaid' consisting of higher woman body and lower fish physique. Later in the e book of Historia Monstrorum, the writer had reported the union of mermaid close to the River Nile.

In 1608, Henry Hudson had explored the existence of mermaid near the region of Russia.

Now, critically, no scales! For begin, and now I am talking about finding your greatest half on-line, it's a must to set your thoughts for the search. It is a most necessary place to begin: set your mind on who you want to find, thus far, to love! Every little thing else can be derived from this point. Normally people are discovering what they're in search of - this is a regulation of the Universe. So, before getting into this quest, it's essential to set your goals. To make things easy, better of all is to prepare an inventory, which is able to enable you to to determine what are the most important options that you just wish to discover in him or her, what kind of things it's possible you'll settle for or ignore, and, finally, what you really want to keep away from.

The technical approach to your search can be finished either by putting your profile on the relationship/matchmaking site, by looking by means of posted profiles and contacting those whom you found attention-grabbing, and eventually (the most effective strategy) by doing both and using totally different networks. Nonetheless, most important is to do all that proper!

When you find yourself posting your profile, describe yourself briefly however precisely, i.e. avoid any ambiguities. Present your private virtues, pursuits and life priorities. Your picture must be of high quality, large, recent (essential!) and actually showing the unique (the picture of your self in scuba gear taken from a passing-by motor boat would not give you the results you want, even when that is your favorite one). Additionally, you'll save numerous time for your self should you brazenly listing all character features, habits, etc. of potential candidates, which are unacceptable for you. "Married chronic junky" are quite common rejection key phrases, though, you would possibly assume to be more specific. Phrase of caution, though: if you'll slim down your requirements to somewhat as "I am looking for a model, who can be a role model in life", be careful: your potential match can be repelled by a thought that you're pushed by some inferiority advanced, which makes you too choosy.

Don't be shy, in the event you see a profile, which you really like, contact her or him first. By all means do not send a generic letter. Point out specifics which you like within the profile of this particular person, what touched you, why you're writing to him or her. However, do not let your self to be dragged into a long on-line trade. In case you are not searching for a virtual romance В Израиле нашли настоящую русалку (some folks do, but this is not what we're discussing right here), move to the following step as quickly as doable. Give your telephone quantity. Nevertheless, do not give your telephone number to anyone. Better: open separate cellular phone account for such calls only. This will value you less than changing both your house and cell numbers if you will run into some obnoxious drag.

Earlier than actual meeting, you need to talk to the particular person by a phone: there are a number of reasons for doing that. First, you need simply to listen to a voice. Sometimes this will inform you a lot, it can be complete flip-off, however do not put an excessive amount of into it. I had once a date with a woman who sounded on a cellphone like a drunken previous hag. I nearly hang up thinking that I am a victim of a prank, but natural curiosity gained, so I set the date, time and place for a gathering. One who sounded so badly on the phone in life appeared young and delightful girl, who made all men flip their heads when she entered the restaurant. Truthfully, my jaw dropped down after I noticed her: so much the precise appearance contrasted with the sluggish and squeaky voice which I've heard on the phone. Second, telephone talk may provide you with an idea on vocabulary and, therefore, social position of the individual. One young woman, a buddy of mine, had a week-lengthy trade with a man, who apparently enchanted her together with his writings. They determined to meet, so he referred to as her on a cellphone. When he called, his talk was saturated with so many unnecessary colloquial terms, that she became absolutely satisfied to not pursue this acquaintance any further. Evidently, that the meeting by no means occurred.
