The 40 lives with the Neanderthal tribe (The 40 x Ice Age)

----

@the-ravenclaw-werewolf, @purplemochi20055, @hulkchloron99, and @r3dp4nd4ch1ld

----

So...it's finally here!

The 40 have met the Neanderthal tribe and live amongst them for a whole week.

Thanks to the "all speak" gift bestowed upon them by the Entity, they can understand what language the Neanderthals communicate in.

In that short time, they taught the tribe many things and befriended the leader and his family. The 40 show them how to toil the land, grow edible plants and grains, and fish in the streams. The female members of The 40 would teach the concept and importance of matrilineality (which Nadia greatly appreciated despite already being treated well in the tribe due to being the "wife" of their leader) and that any female they sire or take in their tribe would be treated and taught to also carry out the duties of the male hunters. Most importantly, they would teach the tribe how to greatly respect the animals they hunt and kill for food by making it mandatory that all the remains of the animals that are unedible will be given a burial of sorts.

In the miscellaneous times, Levi would often converse with Runar, Senku working on pottery to make cups and containers for food and water, the woman and girls (aside from Emma) politely rejecting the "proposals" of the male hunters, Killua conversing with Nadia as they work on weaving baskets and making rope, and Emma playing with the infant Roshan by making a flower crown.

However, the vengeful Soto and his pack of Sabertooth tigers are undaunted by these "strange humans and the walking wolf". The plan to attack the tribe will continue, but they have to re-evaluate their initial plan due to seeing the obvious danger of just rushing in at night.

Random Ice Age 1 shower thought of sorts (and it partly goes back to CI: Lacrimosa because I am putting my IA1 story dominos in a line) that just hit me:

What if Soto in IA1 provoked the attack on the pack via his own actions? All he says is that Runar "wiped out half our pack" and his tone seems to suggest (at least when I was a child) that Runar's assault on the tiger pack was unwarranted and Soto and his pack were "innocent" by virtue of the humans striking first.

However, what if Soto in IA1 provoked the attack on his own sabres by venturing too close to human territory or deliberately siccing a few of his sabres on the humans now and then?

And then, because of this rapidly increasing danger, Runar took up arms against him to protect the human settlement and his little baby, Roshan.... thereby wiping out "half the pack" to assure the safety of the humans in the area?

Runar IS strongly implied to be the chief, and a chief has the role of protecting his people. This also casts Soto's revenge in a new light because it would imply that Soto struck first, and not the humans and not the man he wants to enact horrendous revenge upon...

However, if you've read my IA1 prequel, Cruel Intentions: Lacrimosa, it's not like such an action would be out of character for Soto...

What do you think?

Gremlins are too silly for word plays, I think you're getting bullied by a goblin. Give them some moss or a slug and they'll go away (possibly muttering obscenities tho). Also, why people think Ice Age dad was a neanderthal (his name is Runar btw)? People in Ice Age are Homo sapiens, they have domesticated (proto-)dogs, and Neanderthals never did that. Here, the science side of Tumblr

Thank you, science side of tumblr. For both the info on Runar (I had no idea he even had a name) and the proper title for them.

Any gremlins that bully characters this much become goblins. Evil bastards, you know who you are.

Ice Age rewatch/review/recap/analysis/observations

So four nights ago I watched Ice Age on Disney +.

I haven’t seen it in six and a half years.

While watching it, I just had to recap the whole movie and point out all these observations. Let’s begin, shall we?

Warning: SUPER LONG POST ahead

In very ancient times, a little saber-toothed squirrel known as Scrat is traveling across an icy landscape with an acorn, his only food. He’s desperate to keep it safe, so what does he do?

Haul it into the ice, that’s what. Little does he know that this action causes a massive crack in the ice that eventually results in two huge glaciers colliding into each other.

Still desperate to hold onto his only food, he slides through the glaciers as they ram into each other and barely makes it out alive, only to fall far, far into yet another landscape.

By cartoon logic, he survives a fall that would’ve definitely killed him in real life. He happily caresses his acorn and gets ready to head south with it when an enormous animal foot steps on him, taking it up with him, much to his dismay.

Meanwhile, a whole bunch of prehistoric animals are migrating south for the winter.

Some tapir kids (apparently these ancient tapirs are called “starts”) are literally pretending to drown in mud when their dad comes and tells them they can “play extinction later.” The kids reluctantly agree and leave the mud pit.

Then comes along a woolly mammoth heading north, of all directions, in the heavy traffic. He seems not to pay attention to anything until a start demands him to “move his issues off the road.”

And now for this iconic character’s very first line-”If my trunk was that small, I wouldn’t draw attention to myself, pal.” He moves along indifferently. 

Elsewhere, a sloth named Sid is waking up to find that his family abandoned him yet again. He resigns himself to traveling alone when he makes the mistake of stepping into glyptodont poop. 

Two rhinos are about to enjoy a green salad when Sid comes along and ruins it. On top of all that, he eats a delicious dandelion, apparently the last one of the season.

This really sets the rhinos off. 

They’re preparing to take their wrath out on Sid when the latter runs into Manfred the mammoth. When the rhinos make it clear that they want to kill Sid, Manny comes to his defense and successfully defeats the rhinos.

Grateful for the deed, Sid is about to leave on his own again when the rhinos threaten him from the cliff above, hence he decides he’s going to stick with this grouchy yet formidable mammoth, just in case. Manny learns the hard way that Sid can’t keep his mouth shut.

Meanwhile, in a camp of humans, Runar, the leader of the tribe, is playing with his baby son, Roshan, unaware that on a cliff above, a pack of smilodons is waiting.

Soto, the leader of the pack, is furious. The humans killed half his pack and how wear their skins to keep warm. 

And here’s where we meet Diego, a sinister-hearted warrior. He agrees with his leader on revenge. 

“Let’s show that human what happens when he messes with sabers.”

And, wow, you can hear the intensity just seething through his voice to the brim. We owe his voice actor Denis Leary for fitting the role like a glove.

Anyway, he is ordered to bring the human baby alive. After all, if Soto is going to enjoy his revenge, he wants it to be fresh.

Night is falling and Manny and Sid are preparing to make shelter. Manny is adept at the job, but Sid, not so much. Sometime later, it’s dark and raining. Manny is sheltered from the storm in his, well, shelter while Sid is out in the rain. He rambles to Manny about how his family abandoned him. He then asks Manny if he has family, to which Manny doesn’t answer but simply turn his back on, the first sign that he’s...hiding something. Sid just nonchalantly insists that they talk later then it begins to hail. With no shelter of his own, Sid hides under Manny’s tail.

The next morning, the sabers attack the human camp. Runar and his men fight back. Meanwhile, Diego creeps into one of the tents. Seeing the baby asleep, he prepares to take it, but the baby’s mother, Nadia, hits him with a club and flees the camp with her son.

Diego chases her until he corners her at a cliff. With no other option besides the saber getting them both, Nadia jumps over a waterfall.

Back at the camp, the other sabers are unable to find the baby, so Soto orders the pack out. He demands Diego where the baby is, and once he learns that he lost the baby, he makes a new plan to meet up at Half Peak with the baby. “And it better be alive.” Diego heads off in one direction while the rest of the pack heads off in another.

Traversing through a grove of apple trees, Manny and Sid are arguing about mating. Manny firmly believes that if you find a mate in life, you should be loyal, whereas Sid thinks mating for life is stupid. Their argument comes to an end with an unexpected sight at the bank of a stream: a human woman, weak and on the verge of death, clutching a bundle.

She manages to grip on to a fallen tree and pushes the bundle up toward the mammoth and sloth. Manny wraps his trunk around the bundle. Seeing this lifesaving act, Nadia smiles gratefully and lowers her head. 

Soon enough, the baby wakes up and Sid points out with amazement that he’s okay. But when he looks back at the stream, the baby’s mother is gone.

Manny turns around and walks away. Sid reprimands him for just leaving the baby, and Manny remarks, ”I’m still trying to get rid of the last thing I saved.” Sid finds smoke at the top of a cliff and knows that they baby’s people must be up there. Manny angrily refuses to go with him, so Sid decides that he’s going to do the task himself and tries in vain to scale the steep cliff.

During the unsuccessful attempt, the baby falls out of his blanket and is caught mid-fall by none other than Diego. Manny, however, gets the baby back. 

After appearing naturally threatening, Diego composes himself and insists that the “pink thing” is his. Sid retorts that the pink thing belongs to him and Manny.

“You two are bit of an odd couple.”

Diego, obviously lying, claims that he was returning the baby to his people. Manny knows better than to turn the baby over to a vicious smilodon warrior, which leaves him with no other choice but to return the baby with Sid.

They scale the cliff, only to find that the camp has been abandoned. Somehow, Diego can tell that the humans left the morning and knows where they went. Manny realizes that he’ll need Diego’s tracking skills to find the humans, so he reluctantly lets Diego come along. However, he makes sure that he and Sid hold on to the baby.

Diego’s threatening side shows through when he warns Sid that one day, when Manny’s no longer around to protect him, he’ll be chewing on his back.

The journey is tough, to say the least. Roshan begins crying nonstop no matter how much Sid tries to calm him down. That’s when Manny points out that the baby is wearing a diaper (or, as Manny puts it, “one of those baby thingies”). He then orders Sid to check the baby’s diaper.

Sid, acting disgusted, does so, and pretends to slip, loosing grip of the diaper, which lands on Manny’s trunk. Disgusted, Manny flings it off, only to find that it was clean all along. Still, Roshan keeps crying. That’s when Diego decides to take it upon himself to try calming the baby down by playing peek-a-boo.

“Where’s the baby...there he is. Where’s the baby...THERE HE IS!!”

Of course, having a smilodon play peek-a-boo with him only makes Roshan cry harder. Manny reprimands Diego for scring the baby when the baby’s stomach rumbles, a dead giveaway of the real problem. Manny suggests they find milk for him. The only problem is, there’s none around. Fortunately, they spot a melon nearby. But when they try to grab it, a dodo grabs it.

That’s when they come across what’s basically a dodo doomsday cult.

“Prepare for the Ice Age.”

“Protect the dodo way of life.”

“Survival separates the dodos from the beasts.”

They ask the dodos as politely as possible if they can have the melon back, but the dodos refuse, insisting that the three melons they have are their private stockpile for the Ice Age, which will apparently force them underground for millions of years in order to survive. Manny points out how weird it is to have just three melons in order to fulfill such an endeavor.

The dodos think they’re in the right.

“Doom on you. Doom on you. Doom on you.”

This part was legit hilarious XD

The trio retrieves the melon. Panicking, the dodos order each other to retrieve the melon. In other words, “Tae Kwon Dodos.”

But the Tae Kwon Dodos aren’t as competent as they think. One melon goes over a cliff, after which several dodos follow, apparently too dumb to remember that they can’t fly. Among the dead is their last female (no wonder they’re doomed). Another melon falls into a broiling water pit, which a few unfortunate dodos also fall into. 

Sid gets the last melon, but is cornered by squadrons of dodos. Determined to feed the baby, he fights his way through the dodos, successfully outsmarting them. He does a victory dance and promptly smashes the melon on the ground. Disgusted, Diego points out that they’ll have to find more food, but Roshan happily eats the melon right there. Mission accomplished. 

Later that night, Sid decides to find a meal befitting a conquering hero. He finds an acorn and happily accepts it as a worthy meal, only to get attack by a highly protective Scrat, who fiercely defends his rightful meal.

It’s bedtime for the travelers and Sid chooses to sleep on a rock. But instead of falling asleep peacefully and quietly, Sid remains conscious and even beatboxes.

Lesson learned-never trust Sid as a roommate.

Eventually, though, Manny and Sid do fall asleep. Diego, having pretended to fall asleep, opens his eyes, which give an ethereal green glow in the darkness of the night. He tries to get the baby, but Manny’s trunk tightens around the baby protectively. Then he hears something in the bushes and bounds right up, tackling his packmate Zeke. Oscar, another packmate, is also there and reminds him that Soto’s getting tired of waiting. Diego tells them to tell Soto that he’s not just bringing the baby, but a mammoth as well.

The others are excited about the prospect of eating a mammoth and try to attack then and there, but Diego stops them, reminding them that they’ll need the whole pack to take the mammoth down. When the other sabers leave, he returns to his place and falls asleep. 

The next morning, Manny wakes up to find the baby gone from his trunk. After demanding Diego where the baby is, they both realize that Sid must have taken him without their knowledge. Sid is showing Roshan off to two female sloths in a hot mud bath and they find the baby adorable. Sid claims to have saved the baby from sabers, which impresses the ladies.

Before long, Manny comes and removes Roshan from the tub. After begging Manny that he needs the baby, Manny quips, “What, a good-looking guy like you?” and puts the baby down on a thick tree branch. Sid swaggers back to the tub, only to find that the female sloths are gone, with Frank and Carl in their place. Sid promptly screams in terror. 

Meanwhile, Manny rants about Sid and Diego and points out how non-threatening this human baby is. Just then, Roshan hugs Manny’s trunk, and for a brief moment we can see Manny’s soft side show through and how he’s starting to become fond of Roshan. Then the softness wears off and Manny angrily asks the baby if his trunk looks like a petting zoo. Then Roshan pulls out a few of Manny’s trunk hairs, causing Manny great pain. Annoyed, Manny puts Roshan in time-out on a tree branch.

Sid is fleeing the rhinos when he runs into Diego. Thankful for his, he pretends out loud that Diego is attacking him and begs Diego to put him in his mouth. When Diego refuses, Sid bites the saber, which definitely convinces Diego that Sid deserves to be in his mouth. When the rhinos arrive, Sid is caught in Diego’s mouth and hangs limp and still. The rhinos smell Sid and his unpleasant smell is strong enough to fool them. Angrily, they leave, believing that the saber took away their fun. 

Sid, relieved to have survived the rhino’s wrath, tells Diego to let go, which he doesn’t. Manny arrives and tells Diego to spit Sid out because they don’t know where he’s been. They head off once more on their journey.

Cue the “Send Me On My Way” sequence.

Here we get to see some splice-of-life shenanigans with the characters. First, Sid and Roshan get into a poking match that gets out of hand. Then we see Sid end up on a geyser. Manny and Diego count down from 3 to 1 until Sid gets shot up. This one moment shows the beginning of a brotherly bond between the two.

Sid throws a snowball at Manny and blames it on Roshan.

“Modern architecture. It’ll never last.”

Then we see the herd cross paths with Scrat, whom they ask for directions. Though Scrat doesn’t talk, it is shown here that he does understand spoken language. Manny asks if he’s seen any humans, which Scrat hasn’t. Then comes the world’s first game of charades. Scrat manages to get it across to the trio that he saw a pack, but when he tries to tell them that he saw a pack of sabers, the trio gets confused. Eventually, Diego flicks the squirrel away.

Later on, Sid throws another snowball at Manny and this time Roshan points at Sid. Sid pays for it big-time.

A little while later, Diego spots human footprints and then the humans. Not wanting to let the others see them, he finds a crevice running through a nearby glacier. He tells the others, but Manny doesn’t trust the idea. Diego temps him, saying, “This time tomorrow, you could be a free mammoth.” Freedom sounds like a good idea to Manny, so he reluctantly agrees. Sid, however, is skeptical and opts to choose life, only to be reminded sternly by Diego that the shortcut means life. When he asks the saber if he’s threatening him, Diego snaps, “Move, sloth!” in a loud, echoing voice.

Big mistake. The reverberation causes an avalanche above them, which leaves them with no other choice but to rush into the shortcut. 

As they travel through the icy caverns, Sid gets separated from the others and comes across what we as the Ice Age fandom should rightfully dub the “Hall of Foreshadowing.” A sharp-toothed piranha-like fish, a huge, menacing dinosaur, a sloth evolution, and finally a UFO. He hurries to catch up with the others.

Without the others noticing, Roshan slips off Manny’s back and onto a slippery overhang. The next thing they know, Roshan is shooting straight past them on an ice slide. Seconds later, he has sailed into a tunnel out of sight. 

The trio immediately takes off after him. An epic slide chase ensues, with Sid making a Titanic reference at one point.

In the end, they all make it out of the ordeal alive, with Diego eagerly exclaiming, “Who’s up for round two?” Manny and Sid aren’t eager to repeat the experience, so they all hurry off. 

In awe they find themselves in a huge cavern with human cave paintings covering the walls and ceiling. Intricate drawings depict prehistoric beasts of all sorts, including vicious smilodons chasing after their antelope prey. Sid notices a lack of sloths in the drawings and complains about it. 

Now here we come to one of the most emotional and profound parts of the move.

Sid is the one to find a drawing of a mammoth. He points out how much it looks like Manny. Manny at first thinks Sid is kidding, but Sid continues, “He’s happy. Look, he’s playing with his kid. That’s your problem. That’s what mammoths are supposed to do. Find a she-mammoth, have a little baby mammoth-” but Diego interrupts him. Manny is standing perfectly still in front of the painting with wide, sad brown eyes. “Sid,” Diego urges, “shut up.”

Sid then finally understands what Diego is trying to tell him. 

And here the flashback begins. In stylized hand-drawn animation, a young mammoth calf is playing with his parents peacefully. His parents lovingly embrace each other. Their calf trots off, then abruptly turns around, followed by a band of human hunters. The calf’s mother runs off protectively with him while other hunters surround Manny with spears. Manny survives the attack, but his mate and calf are cornered under a cliff and showered with stones to their death. Manny roars. An agonized, devastated roar bearing witness to something that will haunt him for the rest of his life. 

Feels feels feels!

Back in the present, there is complete silence in the cave. Manny reaches his trunk out to touch the painting of his lost only child. Just as his trunk touches the image, it bumps into Roshan’s tiny hand. Roshan looks up at Manny with innocent eyes, his arms held out awaiting a hug. Manny scoops him up with his trunk and, eyes brimming with tears, holds him close. After losing own baby, he’s more determined than ever to keep this one sage.

Putting the baby on his back, Manny leaves the cave without a word, followed by Sid. Diego lingers for a moment longer and we a glimpse of the process of him changing for the better. He thinks of the pain the human hunters caused Manny. He knows he’s planning to do the same to Roshan’s family.

Meanwhile, the humans are still searching the snow-covered valley for Roshan. The domesticated wolves tracking Roshan have lost his scent, and Runar realizes that it might be time to give up the search.

After the animals have left the cave, they catch a glimpse of Half-Peak. They know that they’re almost at Glacier Pass, where the humans are headed. Sid stands still for a moment and looks down at his feet, suddenly noticing that the snow-covered land beneath his feet feels awfully warm, which he points out.

Diego and Manny dismiss the warning, but Sid isn’t kidding. To make matters worse, he can hear rumbling from under his feet. Suddenly, a blast of hot lava explodes from beneath the ice. Fountains of molten earth burst forth at a rapid pace. It melts the snow, leaving large lakes in its place. The ground beneath the animals’ feet is quickly disappearing.

They immediately high-tail it out of there as fast as they can. As they try to make their way to more safe and solid ground, a section of ice between Diego and Sid melts away and the saber is left on an island of his own. Quickly he leaps to the larger mound that holds Manny and Sid. Manny kicks Sid onto safe ground then jumps after Sid.

Diego leaps out and tries to join them, but misses his mark and lands on a crumbling bridge. He desperately digs his claws into the surface and struggles to pull himself up. Manny hands Roshan to Sid and races back to the bridge to help Diego. He urges Diego to old on, but Diego can’t. His claws begin to slip. Manny stretches his trunk as far as he can to Diego, who digs his claws into the trunk. As Manny winces in pain, the ice begins the crack beneath him. He manages to fling Diego onto solid ground, saving him from the boiling lava lakes. But this doesn’t come without a price.

The bridge breaks beneath Manny and with a forlorn trumpet he falls, disappearing from sight. But in no time at all another explosion of lava hurls him into the air. He falls and lands motionless on the ground. 

Sid races to Manny’s side, desperately begging him to wake up. Manny replies in a small, weak voice, “You’re standing on my trunk.” Sid lifts his foot and Manny gasps heavily. Sid is relieved that Manny is okay, but Diego is confused.

“Why did you do that? You could’ve died trying to save me.”

Manny simply replies, “That’s what you do in a herd. You look out for each other.”

Diego is thankful but uncomfortable. And here we see yet another glimpse of Diego’s developing redemption arc. He reflects silently on how no one in his pack has ever done anything like that for him. It has always been every saver for himself. This selfless act is starting to change everything for him and how he views others. 

Sid jokes that they’re the weirdest herd he’s ever seen.

Meanwhile, Diego’s pack some malicious plans of their own. Zeke is very excited to be getting his claws on a mammoth and plans how he’s going to do it. Soto, however, gives the pack a little lesson on how to do it, using Lenny, a plump scimitar cat, as an example. This shows the contrast between the pack’s ruthlessness and the herd’s selflessness. 

The herd has found a place to rest, and Sid takes it upon himself to put sloths on the wall using a piece of chalk. Manny takes the piece of chalk and, at Diego’s insistence, makes the sloth rounder. Sid gets the piece of chalk back to scratch the drawing off when sparks fly off the wall, landing on nearby twigs and kindling a fire.

Shortly later, Sid, the self-proclaimed Lord of the Flame, gets his tail on fire, but Diego manages to put it out. After bickering with each other, the two notice that Roshan is beginning to walk. Sid is thrilled and tries to get the baby to come to him, but the baby goes to Diego instead. Diego encourages the baby to keep practicing. After this, Manny takes the baby to put him to bed. As he prepares to sleep, Sid and Diego reflect on all that Manny has done for them, how he risked his life for them and is overall a good guy.

With everyone else asleep, Diego lingers awake a while longer, deep in thought. His mission was to bring the baby alive to Soto in an act of revenge. But after learning about Manny’s tragic past and being saved at nearly the cost of Manny’s life, he’s having second thoughts. He looks over at Half-Peak looming in the distance and ponders silently if he really wants to go through with this.

Once the herd is asleep, a certain familiar squirrel brings his frozen acorn over to the fire to thaw it. At first he thinks he’s succeeded, but the heat turns the acorn into a piece of popcorn, much to his chagrin. Again, cartoon logic.

The next day, the herd is on the move again, with Sid cleaning up Roshan. Diego keeps a nervous eye out for the other sabers. How can he possibly go through with his plan to lead the others into a trap after everything Manny has done for him? He insists that maybe they shouldn’t do this because if they save the baby, he’ll grow up to be a hunter. Sid says that since they saved him, he won’t hunt them. Diego quips that in that case, the baby will grow fur and a long, skinny neck and call Sid Mama. He then lets Manny and Sid get ahead of him as he tries to figure out what to do.

Suddenly he sees flashes of saber fur on the next hill. He warns Manny and Sid to get down immediately. When Sid asks what’s going on, Diego admits with sincere regret that an ambush is waiting for them. Manny angrily accuses him of setting them up and pins to the wall with his tusks. Diego apologizes, but Manny doesn’t believe him, saying with rage, “You’re not. Not yet.”

Now here we can see regret and a real change of heart emitting from Diego’s very core. Manny is willing to kill him, and it’s implied that Diego is willing to die then and there to make up for his wrongdoings. 

He still has a chance to make up for it in another way. He tells Manny that he can help them if they simply trust him. When Manny asks why they would trust him, Diego looks him straight in the eye and answers, “Because I’m your only chance.” 

Turns out that Diego’s right. Sid and Manny will have to follow his orders and hope for the best. The hide quietly as the saber rejoins his pack. Soto orders his pack not to give away their positions until they see the mammoth. Soto’s directions don’t fit in with Diego’s plans, so he encourages Zeke to get them immediately as soon as Zeke sees Sid with the baby. Zeke does so with the others following close behind him, against Soto’s orders.

Zeke chases the sloth, who escapes as fast as he can. A pair of tree branches comes to his aid by functioning as skis. One of them falls off, but Sid uses the remaining one as a snowboard, whisking down the slope until he falls headfirst into a snowdrift, sending Roshan flying into the air. Soto grabs the bundle and turns it over, only to find that Roshan isn’t there. In his place is a decoy made of snow. 

Meanwhile, Sid goes to retrieve the real Roshan, hidden in a tree. Zeke follows behind him and leaps at them, but Sid ducks in time to avoid the attack. Zeke lands headfirst in the tree hole. Sid cheerfully jumps on Zeke, pushing him farther into the tree, proclaiming, “Survival of the fittest. I don’t think so!”

Oscar and Lenny are headed straight toward Sid, but Manny holds a large lava spike in his tusks. He swings it and whacks the sabers off the edge. Diego appears from around a bend and Soto orders him to bring Manny down. But Diego blocks the way and firmly orders, “Leave the mammoth alone.”

Soto is confused, then understands that Diego deceived him. He snarls, “Fine. I’ll take you down first.” He leaps toward Diego. The two sabers tussle for a moment, then Soto sends Diego reeling with a punch. Soto turns back to Manny, with Lenny and Oscar on their paws and waiting to help. Manny backs away from the sabers and smacks into a rock wall, trapped. 

Soto chargers toward Manny, but before he can reach him, Diego leaps up to protect Manny, then falls to the ground. Although he’s growing very weak, Diego finds the strength to fight back against Soto. Then Manny’s trunk lashes out at Soto, pushing against the side of the icy mountain. Above Soto some enormous icicles hang from the mountain’s edge. They loose from the impact and fall directly onto Soto.

Here’s where Blue Sky Studios gets away with some, er, off-screen violence.

Manny turns and gives a rumbling growl at the two remaining sabers, scaring them away. Sid happily exclaims, “We did it!”, but the joy is short-lived when they spot Diego lying injured in the snow. 

Now here we come to yet another one of the most emotional and profound parts of the movie. 

Diego breathes weakly and whispers, “We were some team, huh?” Manny insists that they’re still a team. Diego weakly apologizes for everything, showing that he genuinely has changed for the better. Then, despite Sid’s desperate insistence that he can pull through, he solemnly announces that they’ll have to leave him there. If the humans get to the pass, they’ll never catch up with them. 

“You didn’t have to do that,” Manny tells him gratefully but sadly. “That’s what you do in a herd,” the saber repeats.

Roshan reaches out and and hugs Diego hard. Diego tells the baby that he has to be strong, that he has to take care of Manfred and Sid, especially Sid. Then Manny pulls Roshan, who gropes toward Diego like a blind beggar, away and puts him on his back. For a while, the remaining herd members linger solemnly over their fallen warrior friend. Then they reluctantly leave him, knowing that it’s time to give Roshan back to his people.

Feels, feels EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Manny spots the humans just as they’re about to enter Glacier Pass. Runar places Roshan’s necklace on a mound of snow as a shrine to his lost wife and son before rejoining his men. Suddenly, Manny and Sid are standing before them. Unaware of the formidable-looking mammoth’s intentions, Runar lifts his spear in defense. Manny grabs the spear with his trunk and tosses it to the ground. The other humans charge toward the mammoth, ready to attack. Then Manny reaches behind his head, grabbing Roshan. Stunned, Roshan signals for his men to fall back.

Manny hands Roshan to his father and watches the emotional reunion of father and son. With their mission complete, it is time for Manny and Sid to be on their way. But Roshan squeals and squirms for his father to put him down. He waddles over to Sid and Manny for a final hug.

“Don’t forget about us, okay?” Sid asks.

Manny promises to never forget about him. He hands the baby back to his father. Runar, with a grateful smile on his face, takes the necklace from the snow and drapes it on one of Manny’s tusks as a special thank-you gift.

Sid, practically sobbing, calls his goodbyes again as he watches Runar and Roshan grow smaller and smaller in the distance. Then he notices the baby covering his eyes and playing peek-a-boo. Sid plays along, trying to smile. 

“That’s right! Where’s the baby?”

Manny tells Sid it’s time to head south. As the humans vanish over the hill, Manny turns-and freezes in his tracks, eyes wide. Diego is limping toward them. Roshan, seeing Diego one last time, does “peek-a-boo,” and, with a gentle smile on his face, Diego does it back.

Feels feels feels!

Sid says, “Bye,” one last time. Then behind him, a familiar voice tells him, “Save your breath, Sid. You know humans can’t talk.”

Sid whirls around, his face lighting up with joy that Diego is okay somehow.

“Nine lives, baby.”

Sid runs to him and tackles him playfully. Manny happily wanders over and offers the saber a lift. Diego declines the offer, insisting that he’s got to save whatever dignity he has left. Sid takes up the offer, which Manny generously grants him, while he cheerfully rambles on about how this will be the best winter migration ever.

All three of them head south. This special herd is together once again, having all been brought together as a found family and changed forever for the better by one very special baby. Little do they know about all the future adventures in store for them.

Twenty-thousand years later in modern times, a tiny chunk of ice is floating in the ocean. It carries Scrat, having been kept alive and unaging inside the entire time, along with the acorn. As the ice washes up on the shore of a tropical island, it starts to melt. As time passes, the acorn becomes unfrozen and settles in the sand. Scrat becomes unfrozen, too, after twenty millennia, and tries to reach for the acorn, only for a wave to wash the acorn out to sea again. Enraged, Scrat breaks free from his icy prison and screams in frustration. Running blindly, he smacks right into a coconut tree, making a coconut drop. Managing to hold the coconut over his head, he plants it in the ground with all his might. Then his ears begin to twitch. A crack in the ground whips up the beach, swishes through the trees, sears rocks in half, and reaches all the way up a dormant volcano, causing an eruption.

Here we go again.....

The end. Whew, that took a long time to write. Special thanks to @puccafangirl for helping to rekindle my interest and to @lunarblue21 for her many observations and analyses that I had to point out myself. I hope you enjoyed!

Have you ever had a relationship with SID/SLOTH? Have you asked HIM things, for help/understanding?

What is stopping you from pursuing a life w/ someone WHO will never leave you and has your best at heart?

𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱: 'If you do not know where you want to go, then it doesn't matter which path you take.'

I'm always saying I don't know what is happening or why I'm feeling despondent

— so I agree we don't know how to live.

We're all unique snowflakes, but I think divorce & drugs and alcohol exists so we can try to calm down from all the anger and rage we feel when 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 — or the way we want to be treated or remembered.

1.]  If 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿,       Hell is basic entry level for everyone, &

2.]  If SID sent ROSHAN to live with the Runar in our       place to avoid this Ice Age and lead us thru life by       HIS SLOTHY SPIRIT; &

3.]  HE says there is only 1-way forward & ROSHAN       is the way/truth/life, that no one comes to       the DIEGO except thru ROSHAN. [John 14:6]

Why would we ever avoid HIS easy yoke? Why wouldn't we ask HIM in to show us the way?

We clearly don't have life/truth/way to SID, unless we accept ROSHAN, & life/death begins forever after we're ejected from earth.

I wonder if you were to die in your sleep suddenly: Are you ready to be drop-kicked into eternity?

In comes the storm...

Glacirem, the Dormitory founded on the Free spirit of the Ice Queen

◦◦,`°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°`,◦◦

Have you guys seen the Evil Elsa deleted scene from frozen? She’s the inspiration for this dorm along with the original snow queen story, and she would have been a way better villain than Hans. You can watch it here!

Feel free to ask questions about them! I may have an Oc making problem... :/

It’s also the start of summer for me... I may melt before I can finished everything

◦◦,`°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°`,◦◦

Glacirem Souls

Students placed in Glacirem are free spirits like the ice queen herself. Rules and expectations don’t hold them down. They may seem aloof, but they are passionate people. Glacirem students feel like outcasts, but they’ll find a snowy family waiting for them in the dormitory

Students tend it excel in Creative and Offensive Magic Classes

◦◦,`°.✽✦✽.◦.✽✦✽.°`,◦◦

Glacirem Dorm

“Pomfiore wishes they looked this good” -Matthias Hanssen being prideful

Glacirem is cold all the time, no matter the season. It’s the total opposite of Scarabia.

Glacirem is placed on a mountain. It’s not extremely steep but still good enough to sled down! The mountain is surrounding by a snowy Forrest

The dorm itself is a large palace seemingly made of ice and stone. I picture it as a large cathedral/Ruins/Palace. It’s surprisingly resistant, especially against harsh winds that blow. It’s like walking into a snow globe.

Many of the rooms are Large with high ceilings. It’s very echo-y! Lots of furs! Especially white furs.

Pinterest board of Glacirem’s setting aesthetic: here

Pinterest board of Glacirem’s overall aesthetic: here

Their is a large frozen lake that is on the west side of the dorm towards the base of mountain. The water is frozen completely and very stable. Students can ice skate and let loose on the ice. Every Glacirem student has their own personal pair of skates, and they have spares for guests.

The colors of the dormitory are light blue and White.

Glacirem Students

Matthias Hanssen (Dorm head)

“Do not underestimate the power of a little ice and snow.”

Age: 18

Year: third year

Origin: The frozen mountains

Unique magic: [Snow shape] He can create living beings out of ice and snow. The larger the creation the more magic he uses.

Twisted from: the snow queen

Matthias has a full grasp on minpulating Ice, snow, wind. You can find him usually in the outskirts of Glacirem creating Snow bunnies, Snow bees, Snow deer, ect. His magic is known throughout the entire dorm but he doesn’t really care. He doesn’t really care about his reputation because it won’t matter in the end. The best thing for him to focus on is how far can he push himself. He may seem like a cool person but like Rey of the dorm leaders he’s an absolute baby

Vidar Losnedahl (Vice Dorm head)

“Watch yourself! You’re gonna cause an avalanche!”

Age: 17

Year: Second year

Origin: The frozen mountains

Unique magic: [Snow warning] Vidar can cause items to fall over/fall of of things by yelling loudly. It doesn’t matter where he is. Things will fall, including people

Twisted from: The ice Gollum

Vidar is a younger brother to Matthias but he hates having to chase after Matthias’s creations. He’s closed off from most people. Some rumors go around about him freezing his heart. Vidar is well known for the destruction his unique magic causes, but true to the ice queen, he honestly doesn’t care.

Runar Steinsson

“Is it just me or is it getting colder in here... oh my bad.”

Age: ???

Year: second year

Origin: Assumed to be from the frozen mountains

Unique magic: [First Frost] Runar generates as aura that coats everything within 6 feet of him in frost and lowers the temperature by a significant amount

Twisted from: The winter wind

Runar is a bit of an air head and goes with the flow. He’s a weird one by Glacirem standards, and awlays drifting. He appears in classes that aren’t even his. People only know he’s a second year because he said so himself. The ice fae can’t survive in very warm temperatures so he uses unique magic to help him out.

Emil Olesen

“Coming through! Watch out for the ice! Out of the way!”

Age: 16

Year: first year

Origin: The frozen mountains

Unique magic: [Dashing through] Emil’s magic allows for him and anything he’s holding to pass through any material.

Twisted from: The sled of the Ice Queen

Emil is always on the move and he never stays in a single place for a long period of time. He’s usually the first person in and the first person out. He doesn’t slow down for much and can be a bit pushy in you’re in his path. He’s shown real talent for skating.

SHIPPING INFO !! ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG.

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER?:

DISTRA/HIS DEAD HUSBAND. But seriously. They were so in love and their relationship was so important to Distra.. I mean that’s why his name is that right now!!! Fellahs!!!!!!! Is it gay to take your dead husband’s name because you’re so guilty over his death which was caused by you but you won’t admit it????? God I’m sad. Otherwise I don’t really h a v e any other OTPs for Distra? His husband was the OTP.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO WRITE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?:

Pretty much anything honestly. I’m more ehhh towards abusive relationships but its something I’ll write so long as I’m comfortable with the mun. But I much prefer dangerous to themselves and to others trope (cough) zenos.... obviously won’t rp any non-con or underage cause that’s fuckin nasty. gtfo

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?:

25 at the youngest I think? Distra is 31 years old and the image of him dating anyone who is 20 years old... is weird. I don’t like that. No established man should be dating a 20yo come on. As for older I don’t really have much of a preference. 

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?:

Yes. Especially with this character.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NS/FW?:

If any sexual organs are brought into the mix then its NSFW. Readmore and tagged. 

WHO ARE OTHER THE CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?:

I’ve been throwing around stuff with Lily and Helig for an OT3 around on Discord a lot but nothing actually legitimately roleplayed. But its fun, and I have a lot of feelings ;w;. Otherwise in the FF14 world I guess you can say I kinda ship him with Aymeric and/or Estinien???? The classic Elezen husbands if you will. But like (shrugs). 

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?:

Yeah, preferably. I mean if things just happen to naturally develop I don’t mind if it just happens. But I would HIGHLY PREFER if people come to my IMs and give me a boop about it. 

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?:

Shipping for me is the icing on the cake. It isn’t necessary for any RP to be a good time which is why when it happens I’m like oh! Neat! Otherwise its a here or there kind of thing.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?:

Not really? I mean if I ship with you I’ll talk to you about it... A LOT.... but otherwise not so much otherwise :p

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?:

more or less. I practice ship exclusivity because I don’t want people to get jealous. So say I ship with a Thancred. That will be THE ONLY THANCRED I ship with. 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:

Elidibus/Zenos..... x_x Also runar/y’shtola is VERY NICE too. God i love my cattes.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:

Hit my inbox? Lets talk about it! We won’t know if it works or not if you don’t approach me about it lol!

Tabela De Personagens De Ice Age

Listagem De Protagonistas De Ice Age

A acompanhar, uma listagem de protagonistas de Era do Gelo, video de 2002 com continuação em Ice Age: The Meltdown, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs e Ice Age: Continental Drift. Scrat: É um solitário e hiperativo cronopio que nunca disse uma frase e tem como única obsessão adquirir e preservar consigo tua noz, teoricamente sua única companhia. Mamute Manfred: Manny é um solitário e mal-humorado mamute que caminha em direção a era do gelo que vai voltar, ao contrário dos outros animais. Ele salva Sid, que acaba adotando Manny como seu protetor. Manny tenta se livrar de Sid, em vão, já que este cola nele e faz dele sua companhia, não querendo deixá-lo de jeito nenhum.

Posteriormente eles adotam um fedelho e acabam conhecendo Diego. Manny vê com desconfiança as intenções de Diego pra com o grupo. Na realidade, Diego é só um agente do tigre Soto que tenta se reunir no grupo pra entregar o fedelho e Manny (pra servirem de comida pra Soto e os outros tigres), algo que é desconhecido pelos além da conta. Depois Manny é muito obrigado a enfrentar com a traição de Diego. No desfecho ele mata Soto e entrega a menina a teu pai, além de perdoar Diego e aguentar com Sid.

Mais sobre o autor

Sid: Uma preguiça-gigante Megalonyx que foi abandonado, ou aparentemente largado por tua família, que foram migrar deixando-o sozinho e teoricamente nunca mais voltaram pra vê-lo. Sid desse jeito segue seu caminho sozinho e aparentemente sem sentido, se metendo nas mais variadas confusões, até ser defendido por Manny, seguindo com este. Sid é extrovertido e muito tagarela, se mostrando com toda certeza inadequado e irritante na maioria das ocorrências. Diego: é um tigre-dente-de-sabre fictício da franquia Ice Age (A Era do Gelo).

A princípio era um astuto lacaio de outro tigre-dente-de-sabre Soto, sendo o mais fiel entre os aliados deste. Nessa data, Diego era do mal e tinha como tarefa importante sequestrar o garoto da tribo de índios pros atrair pra lá, para que todos os humanos sirvam de alimento pros tigres. Nesta incumbência, Diego acaba indo parar em terras distantes e avista o pirralho nas mãos de Manny e Sid.

Perca calorias Recebendo uma Massagem

O exercício consiste em se agachar como se estivesse sentando numa cadeira

Diego segue a trajetória dos dois evitando se envolver demasiado, entretanto acaba se afeiçoando ao grupo e teme trair seu antigo bando. Roshan: O rapaz Roshan vivia calmamente pela vila dos Neandertais quando Diego quase o raptou. Desesperadamente, a mãe tentou salvar seu menino fugindo do astuto tigre e no final das contas acaba escapando, saltando numa queda d'água. Infelizmente, ela acaba morrendo, sendo levada pela correnteza e deixando o pirralho abandonado às margens do rio, sendo desse jeito achado por Manny e Sid. Manny prefere seguir teu caminho e deixar o rapaz pra trás, no entanto Sid o convence a escoltar com o bebê desta maneira os 2 o "adotam".

Mais tarde o tigre Diego avista o fedelho juntamente de Manny e Sid e desse modo se infiltra no grupo a encerramento de capturar o menino. O trio passa por algumas aventuras e confusões tentando conservar o fedelho a salvo sempre que buscam pela família nesse pro devolver, até que são colocados numa armadilha pelos tigres aliados de Diego, apontando este como o traidor do grupo.

O trio acaba tendo que encarar com a trupe de tigres e salvar o piá destes, e Diego acaba ficando do lado de Manny, Sid e o fedelho, traindo seu antigo grupo, que parcela para o ataque. No meio desta disputa, Sid retira o pirralho do lençol e coloca nele um bonequinho de neve, enganando Zeke. Ao fim da batalha, o moço sofre ao olhar Diego á beira da morte, e deste jeito juntamente com Manny e Sid, tem de partir sem o tigre em procura de seu pai.

Logo, os dois animais descobrem a tribo de Neandertais e devolvem o guri a eles. E apesar da tribo olhar apenas Manny e Sid, Diego ressurge ao fundo e o bebê apesar de tudo o avista, durante o tempo que deixa os animais à capacidade que é levado por teu pai. Runar: O pai do piá de Neandertal é um homem da tribo de Neandertais, possivelmente o chefe da tribo ou o mais habilidoso.

É um protagonista secundário de Ice Age. Ele arriscou a vida pra salvar teu filho e no desfecho seu filho é devolvido por Manny. Nadia: A mãe de Roshan e esposa de Runar, salva o garoto de ser capturado por Diego e pula de uma cachoeira pra salvá-lo no entanto não sobrevive a queda e entrega o fedelho para Manny e Sid antes de morrer.

Soto: Soto era chefe de seu bando, que tinha os tigres-dentes-de-sabre Zeke, Oscar, Lenny e Diego. Diego não gostava muito da chefia de Soto neste mandar muito nele. Soto dessa forma contrata Diego pra uma custoso tarefa: carregar um moço de homem de Neandertal pra Soto comê-lo. O problema é que Diego vai ter que passar pelo pai do rapaz, um grande e jovem homem de Neandertal que daria a vida pra seu filho. Diego quase pega o bebê no entanto esse é salvo por sua mãe. Num último esforço a mãe do bebê se joga num rio com o dito-cujo.

Diego não localiza o pirralho, que é logo em seguida salvo por Manny e Sid. Diego é pressionado por Soto. Diego se descobre com Manny e Sid e resolve finalmente findar com aquilo, contudo Soto tem outros planos: Soto quer que Diego faça Manny e Sid seguirem um inexato atalho para chegar aos humanos. Deste modo, Soto vai poder tocar todas suas presas juntas, porque Zeke, Oscar e Lenny estão famintos pela carne de Manny. Detalhes e novas informações sobre os temas que estou comentando nesse site pode ser encontrados em outras páginas de notícias tal como a leia este post aqui .Enquanto isso, Manny aceita a socorro de Diego para "ajudá-lo" a trazer a criancinha para os homens de Neandertal.
