“Why yes, that is me starring in my very own DLC trailer. All of you, feel free to shower me with your adoration and praise over how amazing I looked…”
i like to think that after heroes in another dimension, hyness is kirby’s friend in theory. how does that work? well he says that he’s kirby’s friend, but he just lurks around in the woods and does some questionable things, like set a tree on fire. kirby does not condone setting trees on fire, unless you are fighting a conscious tree and fire is part of your moveset.
Just how is Magolor connected to these guys?! Is he?! Is the another dimension from the SA game mode really Another Dimension? You can see magic circles in the dark purple foreground stuff that looks just like Mag’s magic circles….
It is heavily implied they descend from a once unified culture that descended into civil war over technology in magic. The mages were banished. Magolor does not care about such ancient grudges and may not even know of the conflict, he loves both the ancient technology and the ancient magic of his ancestors.
Hyness fights in the name of a war that has long since ended.
Eco Terrorists, about to release King Ghidorah: We must release the Titans, they’ll restore the world to its natural state.
King Ghidorah, an extraterrestrial extinction event that’s wiped out thousands of planets and made them uninhabitable rotting husks: *starts destroying EVERYTHING*
Had to go research this thing, and the answer to what to do if it stings you is scream.
from Wikipedia-
“One researcher described the pain as “…immediate, excruciating, unrelenting pain that simply shuts down one’s ability to do anything, except scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations. In terms of scale, the wasp’s sting is rated near the top of the Schmidt sting pain index, second only to that of the bullet ant, and is described by Schmidt as “blinding, fierce [and] shockingly electric”.“
Soooooo…dissociate to escape or?
It’s laying eggs in you.
Let’s back up a second and fully appreciate that description.
The Schmidt sting pain index, a widely used classification system for the bites and stings of ants, bees and wasps, is literally the personal ranking system of a guy named Justin Schmidt, who goes around letting bugs sting him for science. Like, that’s this Thing as a scientist.
In one entry, he describes the sting of the common bee as “almost pleasant, [like] a lover just bit your earlobe a little too hard.”
In another, the sting of the yellowjacket is described as “hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.“
So when the Schmidt sting pain index characterises the sting of the tarantula hawk as “blinding, fierce [and] shockingly electric”, well, now you know what your standard for comparison is!
this is fascinating but when do we kinkshame Justin Schmidt
Justin Schmidt is the epitome of masochism
As for what to do? The first thing he recommends is just ‘lay down and scream’. Don’t try to fight the pain to be ‘macho’. Just…scream.
And even worse? It’s not the top of his list. The bullet ant and warrior wasp, at least, both beat it out.
It’s also worth noting that tarantula hawks are fairly docile, so if you encounter one your best bet is to leave it alone, and not try and kill it, lest you give it a reason to sting.
I mean, unless it’s threatening your pet tarantulas. No risk is too great when it comes to defending your babies.
What she means: I understand the Chronicles of Narnia was at its heart a fairytale with theological analogies for children. But why did Lewis never address how they had to adapted to life on Earth again. Why does no one talk about how the Pevensies had to grow up with a kingdom of responsibilities on their shoulders, only to return to Earth and be children. Take Lucy, she was youngest and perhaps she adapted more quickly-but she had the memories and mind of a grown woman in an adolescent body. Edmund literally found himself in Narnia, he went from a selfish boy to mature and experienced man. He found a purpose and identity through his experiences to come back as just Edmund, Peter’s younger brother. Did people wonder why the sullen, sour boy came back, carrying himself like a wisened king? Did his mother wonder why he and Peter suddenly got along so well, why they spent so much time together now? And Susan, the girl of logistics and reason came back with a difference in her. She learned how to be a diplomat and ambassador, Susan the Gentle had to live to endure not-so-gentle circumstances. She had the respect she wanted, only to be just another teen girl. And Peter, he entered the manhood and maturity he so wanted. He earned the responsibility and stripes he yearned for. He learned to command armies and conduct the menial tasks demanded of a king to rule a nation. But he came back, appearing to be just anther glory-hungry boy. Not to mention the PTSD they must have struggled with. Especially Edmund. How often did he wake up in a sweat, screaming a sibling or comrade’s name? His parents believe it’s the war, but it’s an entirely different one he has nightmares about. How often did he have trouble with flashbacks and mood swings? And how many times did he and Peter sit over a newspaper or near the radio listening to reports on the troops. How often did they pour over lost battles and debate better strategies. Did their parents ever wonder why they seemed to understand flight war so well? How long was it before they stopped discussing these things in front of people? Why does no one talk about this???
Why am i fucking crying
Why does no one talk about how the Pevensies had to grow up with a
kingdom of responsibilities on their shoulders, only to return to Earth
and be children
It’s not addressed because it’s understood. It was the shared experience of the generation. You are describing coming home from World War One, battle wearied and aged beyond belief, but walking around in the body of a youth. C S Lewis went to the front line of the Somme on his nineteenth birthday and went back to complete uni in 1918 after demob.
Not seen it with this very very pertinent addition before
