Being super self indulgent on main

But i redid my "IRL turtle, George, gets mutated" thing from 5 months back since i can actually draw Rise turtles now : ), and accidentally ended up with a stupid AU about it lol. It basically ended up being just that Raph and Donnie grow up in a street gang with their big brother.

Anyways, have some basic character overviews too

Do you think that GRRM goofed up by killing off Jaehaera? Had she lived and been the mother of Aegon III's kids it would have been so much more satisfying an end to the Dance. Plus that way the Blackfyres would have descended from the Greens (through Daena), and all the Blackfyre-Targaryen conflicts could have been seen as a continuation of the Dance. I get mad at it, it was such a good conclusion thrown away for shock value.

Hi there Anon 😊

I would like to begin by apologising if I sound insensitive.

Absolutely he did not. George gave the Dance a clear winner: the Blacks. The side that remained. At the same time he ended the other, the Greens.

This is for everyone who likes to think that both sides were just as wrong.

Yeah no, sorry. 🥰🍿

This to me was the perfect conclusion after everything that happened during the war. How each side behaved. Who started the war and who started the bloodshed. The line of a man who fed his sister to his dragon while her son watched could not go on, and neither would her son ever be happy marrying his daughter in my opinion.

I also have a lot of thoughts regarding Jaehaera and I will agree that given how George made her, he had no need to kill her off in childhood. I don’t believe this little girl would have ever had children so the Greens’ line would have still ended. But I do understand he got rid of her so Aegon III could marry Daenaera. It’s honestly a sacrifice I’m willing to make and I wouldn’t have written it differently if I could.

Also I do enjoy the commentary that it was most likely a former green - Unwin Peake - arranging it. Sorry I’m petty like that.

Again sorry if I sound insensitive but I just don’t care about the Greens. I just established no emotional connection reading about them.

Also I cannot stand arranged marriages. Baby Aegon chose Daenaera so the Lord has spoken. It is Daenaera we want him with 🧜🏻‍♀️ his mermaid.

Like I know I’m sounding mean because Jaehaera was already born a green, Aegon’s daughter and Alicent’s granddaughter but it makes me too happy their line ended to care.

Again sorry.

PS: everything written here concerns the asoiaf canon only. Only. Only. Only.

clingy

pairing: Lando Norris x gf!Reader

tw: none

a/n: me? writing fluff for once? well it's semi fluff. kinda like a comfort fic?? maybe? i don't really know tbh

You and Lando enjoyed hanging out with friends. Whether it was his friends or yours, you both had a great time regardless. There were also times when you would hang out with your friends alone and he would hang out with his friends alone, which of course you had no problem with. You’ve been together for 8 months now, so you had plenty of security in your relationship.

Lando currently had a few of the other drivers over at his house. All the drivers were on holiday so you were able to spend some time with Lando before he had to go back to his hectic race schedule. Unbeknownst to everyone except your boyfriend, you were upstairs watching “The Summer I Turned Pretty” on your TV.

Midway through the first two episodes, you got hungry so you went downstairs to get a snack. Just as you approached the bottom, you heard someone mention your name.

 “Is anyone elses girlfriend super clingy?” Charles asked

“Kika and I just spend a lot of time together” Pierre added

“Y/n is sometimes clingy. It can be a bit overwhelming at times” Lando answered. You heard your name and frowned as you took in his words. You were overwhelmingly clingy? You barely ever saw him.

Hearing that, you turned around and made your way back up the stairs, your appetite suddenly gone as you rushed to pack your bag and leave.

“Oh shut up, mate. Y/n is not clingy from what I’ve seen. Usually it’s you jumping on her for comfort, not the other way around. You’re absolutely whipped” George threw a bouncy ball at Lando’s head.

“Yeah I know, I’m only joking. She’s just so perfect. I love her” Lando blushed as he grabbed the bouncy ball and threw it back at George.

Just then you quietly made your way down the stairs and brushed past the group of guys without a single word as you crossed through the living room to get to the front door.

“Where are you going, love?” Lando stood up from his seat and walked towards you, grabbing your wrist to halt your movements. You turned around to face him.

“I uhm- forgot I have to go walk my sister’s turtle. Bye” You said the first lie you could come up with as you pulled your wrist out of his hold and turned around. You opened the front door and shut it behind you, praying that Lando wouldn’t follow.

Lando turned around and went back to his spot on the couch.

“Is that a thing people do here? Walking turtles?” Pierre asked, confusion written all over his face as he looked around the group for an answer.

--------------------------------------------------------

Ever since that night, you hadn’t been over to Lando’s house. He would call and text you to make plans, but you would come up with excuses to not be able to go. You didn’t want to seem any clingier than you supposedly were, according to Lando’s words.

After nearly a week of avoiding Lando, he’d had enough of it. You were in the process of making yourself some pancakes when your doorbell rang. You turned the stove off as your grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around your shoulders, since you were lounging around in a sports bra and shorts. You couldn’t see anything through the little peep hole so you opened the door, shocked to see Lando standing there with flowers in hand.

The smile that was once on Lando’s face turned into a frown when he saw the blanket wrapped around your body.

“Oh baby, are you feeling ill?” He was genuinely concerned. He thought you had the blanket around you because you were sick, and you still weren’t fully up to seeing him, so you joined in on his misconception.

“Yeah, I’ve got a massive cold. I don’t want to get you sick too” You made your voice sound as scratchy as possible before pretending to cough.

“I don’t care if I get sick. Let me take care of you” He said as he pushed himself into your flat. He grabbed one of your arms and dragged you to the couch, where he grabbed both of your shoulders and pushed you into a sitting position. He ran across your flat to your bathroom to get the thermometer so he could check your temperature. You knew you’d be screwed if he actually checked.

He came back moments later, the little green thermometer in hand as he took the clear cover off.

“So uhm… I don’t exactly know how to work this” Lando held the tool in his hand, trying to figure out how to use it.

“No worries. I’m just not feeling great” You fake coughed again. Lando placed the thermometer on the coffee table in front of the couch and placed his hand on your forehead. All you could think was ‘shit’.

“You feel normal. What’s going on, love?” He asked as he slowly sat down next to you.

“What do you mean?” Your voice was back to normal, yet it was quieter than it usually was.

 “You’re being all distant and shutting me out. We haven’t seen each other much. I just…did I do something?” He asked, the hurt in his voice evident as he spoke.

“I’m giving you a break” You answered and he just stared at you.

“Wh—what? A break?” He asked.

 “ Yeah, a break. I heard what you and the other drivers were saying the other night, Lando. I didn’t-” you took a moment to breathe.

 “I didn’t know that I was somehow clingy and that it bothered you” Your voice cracked as a tear streamed down your face.

He wrapped you in his arms and held you as you cried into his shirt.

“Oh my god. Let me explain everything, okay love?” He said as he slowly let go of you.

 “I did say that but what you probably didn’t hear is that I said it was a joke. You wanna know what I told them?” He said and you nodded your head.

 “I told them that I love you and that you’re perfect, because I truly do love you. You’re my girl forever. And if anyone’s clingy in this relationship, it’s quite obvious that it’s me” He joked, hoping to get a smile out of you. You laughed at his words, which resulted in a smile erupting on both your face and his. He pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead before engulfing you in a hug.

“I love you. I can’t stand seeing you so upset like this. Plus the house was so lonely without you. Let’s go home?” He asked.

Home.

You always thought home was a physical place, a location. It turns out you’d found you home eight months ago.

“Home is wherever you are” You pressed a soft kiss to his lips before resting your head on his shoulder.

--------------------------------------------------------

BONUS

“By the way, you’ve made Pierre question whether or not walking a turtle is a real thing”

“If Pierre was confused, I know for a fact that Charles was just as confused. Plus I’ve seen people do it on TikTok, so I guess it’s a real thing”

“I also feel like they would be the type of people to actually walk around Monaco with a turtle on a leash”

--------------------------------------------------------

side note: rip to the pancake Y/n was making before Lando showed up

MHA 2.17 - Climax - part 3

This is my first watch of MHA, so no spoilers please.

This is me every single day of my life. Why do I relate to this anime Grandpa?

From Gran Dorito's perspective he looked away from Midoriya for one moment, and when he saw Midoriya again he was dragging a wanted criminal out of an alleyway with a rope.

Yeah, an apology is warranted here, but I hope Iida doesn't beat himself up too much over it. He made some understandable mistakes. I trust Iida to learn the right lessons from this experience.

If a villain injured my older brother to the point of permanently paralyzing him, I would hunt them down and make them regret it too. But I guess heroes in training have to hold themselves to a higher standard. Iida did not react like a hero, he reacted like a human, and I think that is a forgivable misstep.

What a sweetheart. Deku really embodied both 'hero' and 'human' qualities during this arc. He is moved by wanting to save people as a hero should, but also by the personal need to be there for his friends. What a precious green bean.

Blunt, but it made me laugh so hard. I feel like you need both types of support in your life, the kind of friend who will be soft with you, and the kind of friend who will tell you to pull it together and carry on.

OMG A BABY SNATCHER. UNHAND THE BABY YOU PTERODACTYL LOOKING REJECT.

OooOOoooOoh, Stain saved Deku? As much as I think Stain's ideology is whack, it is kind of a big deal for him to accept Deku as a worthy hero, isn't it?

The blood red moon, the glowing eyes, the majestic floating scarf, edgy arm bandages, and that crusty turtle-esque visage. The man certainly has an aesthetic (one that came out of a Spirit Halloween dumpster).

By murdering heroes that he arbitrarily decides he doesn't like. Better watch out hero society! Miss Staingina George is going to put you in his 'Burn Book' of loser heroes.

DID HE DIE?

"Paleontology can be really petty and stupid"

In 1898 Santiago Roth discovered the armored tail of a large turtle in Patagonia, which he showed to British paleontologist A.S. Woodward. Recognizing it as the remains of a meiolaniid, Roth was told to go on an expedition to find more material, which he did. This material, which included an almost fully preserved skull, was initially published on in a brief communication in 1899.

Strangely, also in 1899, Florentino Ameghino published his own communication claiming that his brother Carlos had found the almost fully preserved skull of that same kind of turtle, a meiolaniid he dubbed Niolamia argentina.

It is curious how both Ameghino and Roth seem to have found the exact same material of a meiolaniid in different localities at the same time, but weirder things have happened. Tho it is further pretty weird how Ameghino rushed to get a name out, but didn't bother describing what defined the animal nor designated a holotype. Hell he didn't even illustrate his skull. But lets give him some time.

Two years pass, its 1901 now. Woodward publishes a proper description of Roth's skull, illustrating the animal in detail. Having heard that Ameghino found a remarkably similar fossil, Woodward assigns the Roth skull to the same species as the Ameghino skull. Although he doesn't carry over the genus Niolamia, instead placing the fossils in Miolania (a misspelling of Meiolania, described a few years prior from Australia). Ameghino didn't seem to mind or disagree, tho he still hadn't properly described nor figured his skull.

1938: Ameghino is dead at this point and weirdly, his Niolamia skull is still nowhere to be found. Since his initial description was wholy insufficient, George Gaylord Simpson (yes thats his actual name) decides to declare the Roth skull the type specimen for Niolamia (the neoptype). Meaning that the genus is now defined on this skull rather than the one Ameghino had when coining the name.

Fast forward to 2011. It is now generally accepted that Roth's skull is the fossil that defines what Niolamia is. Of course Ameghino still gets credit, after all he described the first remains, even tho nobody has ever seen those...ever really. Over a 100 years passed and far as anyone could tell, the last person to have seen those bones were Ameghino and his brother, after which they just disappeared. But we still got the Roth skull, and Juliana Sterli and Marcelo de la Fuente could readily redescribe Niolamia based on that.

But Sterli seems to suspect that something very fishy is going on. Remember, Ameghino just happened to find a perfectly preserved skull at the same time as Roth did. Ameghino made sure to get a name out before Woodward got around to fully describe it. Ameghino only vaguely compared the skull to Meiolania, but didn't specify its unique features nor did he actually illustrate his material. So Sterli said out loud what I'm sure many people must have been thinking. "Did Ameghino just make it all up?"

In 2015 Sterli comments on the matter by noting how awfully convenient the whole situation was. Although no concrete evidence exists, Sterli suggests that Ameghino may have found out about Roth's skull, lied about having found a similar one, and named Niolamia not on a fossil he actually had but based on what little he knew about Roth's discovery.

This is just a basic summary of a rabbit hole I recently went into and my god its so frustrating on so many levels. Again we don't have concrete evidence that Ameghino's skull didn't actually exist, but the way the timing lined up and the fact that he was in a feude with Francisco Moreno, which has been likened to an Argentinian Bone War, means that this suggestion isn't that out there. It really doesn't help that his supposed skull was only ever mentioned by him in 1899 and never again. Ameghino never claimed it was destroyed or stolen, hell, far as I could find he even agreed with Woodwards research.

What's also fascinating is that seemingly, for over a hundred years, nothing was written in scientific literature casting doubt over his claim. I'm sure some people must have called bullshit on him in private, but the only resource I could find that actually goes as far as to say "Hey isn't his weird that the Ameghino skull is basically a phantom" came out in 2015. Everything in-between seemed content with just assuming that Ameghino and Roth both had skulls and just never followed up on whatever happened to the former. Then again I could just as much understand if people just didn't want to deal with this nightmare of a backstory.

Something I noticed on my second or third watch of the movie. Harold never closes his bag after they retrieve the turtle from Krupp. He just kind of leaves it sticking out with no obstructions (bear in mind that this fucking thing can move its head on its own).

Assuming it automatically starts recording whenever it detects George and Harold (as somewhat demonstrated twice earlier in the movie) this little shit possibly captured footage of George and Harold fucking around with hypnotised Krupp, and probably caught Krupp stripping in 4K when he turns into Captain Underpants for the first time. It's honestly just as well that nobody else got their hands on the turtle or they'd really be screwed.

"Swamp Goddess": originally painted in 2018, cleaned up in 2022.

I painted this piece back in 2018 and it is one of my most popular prints to date. It is an homage to my home of Muskoka and the swamp by my cottage that we call Goo Lake.

Fun fact: my dad brought home to me a baby snapping turtle to keep as a pet when I was around 10 years old. I named him George Bush. (why, you ask? No idea, I am not even American 😆) I had George for one week before he escaped and my mom found him under their bed, so we had to release him. We brought him to Goo Lake, and I like to think he is lord of that swamp now.

Dragons rising Season 2 episode 1 : the blood moon transcript

feel free to use this however you like, credit would be nice

also don‘t send this to tannerfishies in any way

@nyaskitten@cboffshore @jezynowachmura19 @geoxstxrs @frostsstuff @jalluzas-ferney

i just saw that the text is cut off kind of weird in the end post, so if there is a large blank space somewhere, just see it as a line break

The episode begins with the "Ras at shadow dojo" clip after the end of that clip, Ras and Jordana walk towards the dojo Ras to Jordana: give it to me now she hands him the vial with the source dragon energy. Ras opens it, causing a ray of yellow light to shoot upwards, before coming back down to the dojo, illuminating lines in the floor and door, causing the latter to open Ras: according to the ancient scholars of my land, these doors were sealed a long time ago so that they might never be opened - except one owns the power of a source dragon Jordana: is that why i was supposed to accompany you with the raw source dragon power? R: exactly! the clip "the blood moon" plays Intro after which the "social media ninja" short plays, with a short scene at the beginning of arin saving two bystanders from the mechanic Bearded blogger: So, the ninja are back - some of them. But where are the others? Master Wu? Cole? Jay? PIXAL? lost in the merge? Nobody asks these clever and brave questions - except for me! the clever george. Next: more activities of the mysterious "night-ghost". But first a shoutout to today´s sponsor - Borg´s nutrient rich waffles. lots of nutrients, no yucky taste! and no longer just for pet turtles the camera zooms out to show arin and Riyu, watching the video on the monastery´s big screen. the screen starts glitching before switching to party lights. as arin asks loudly whats going on, Sora walks up the stairs behind him her hand glowing Sora: I´m only training with my elemental tech powers. Now that i can use them without Riyu, that is a whole new world for me. Arin: Must be really nice S: come on Arin just because there´s no elemental powers in you, that doesn´t mean that- A:-I´m not also important for the team, i know, i know. LLoyd tells me that all the time S: You really shouldn´t watch that self proclaimed "clever george" Whatever he says, he made up A: you´re right, but sometimes he talks about people who got lost in the merge - like my parents. I need to find them, but there´s no information anywhere. And that´s why i´m sometimes desperate enough to watch the "clever george". A man who claims that the moon is made of donut dough S: we are going to find you parents someday, but you need a break! All this wondering isn´t good for your mental health. Do you wanna go train our ninja techniques on the training course? And Riyu does his flying exercises! Arin agrees and the three of them head out on Riyu´s back In the hallway, Mr Frohicky is hanging up a painting that fell from the wall as the entire building shakes from the three running around. Frohicky: Oh no! how many times have i told them that Riyu has gotten too big to run through the hallways.

The three run past him as he complains about the mess they make. They promise to clean up after themselves later, however Frohicky informs them that a woman had shown up earlier and left a letter for them. They take the letter and head out to the courtyard. A: Who is it from S: Kreel has written us. it says here that she needs ninja-help super urgently. the weirdest is that it´s signed with "your friend Kreel" Could it be meant for someone else? A:She probably just wants to sell us some old stuff from her junkyard again (he presses a tile in the floor, which raises the obstacle course, revealing Lloyd, sleeping on the ring) S:Lloyd? Lloyd, waking up: w-what? ugh... where am i? A: have you taken up sleeping on the obstacle course? L: Oh, right sure, of course. S: is seriously everything alright? L: Never been better(he walks off) Inside, Kai and Zane are playing a video game Kai: Haha, eat that, Nindroid! Zane: I am unfortunately unable to consume food K: It´s just an expression. You can say that when you are beating someone at a game Z: but eating is something good. Why is that an insult to me? Lloyd then walks in front of the tv, seemingly asleep until he walks against the side of the table L: Oh, tea. i could really use some of that right now (he pours the tea into a potted plant on the table, absentminded until kai speaks to him about it) Huh? Oh man, what am i doing here? Zane scans him: according to my analysis, your entire body appears to be exhausted. You are tired.Are you suffering from sleep disorders L: Me? noooooo, i´m sleeping like a baby K: but maybe you should go to bed now. L: yeah, you´re probably right (he goes and falls asleep before he gets to the door) He is then seen in a vision, standing on a dark plane as the blood moon rises behind him. Six wolf warriors rise out of the ground next to him. the scene then starts flashing between the warriors walking towards lloyd, the moon and a giant wolf mask pursuing him. he then sees empress beatrix, a mallet coming down towards him, zane surrounded by the wolf warriors, the symbol of the fire source dragon, Sora being hit by falling rubble and finally beatrix hitting a sword of some kind on the ground, breaking it apart. lastly there´s arin, running angrily towards him and a rugged looking dragon breathing blue fire at him. this causes him to wake up, spinjitzu out of bed and crash into the wall. He remarks that this was the worst one so far. He goes outside, to the painting of master Wu L: My nightmares are getting worse, uncle. As if i was being pursued. I don´t know if- (Arin walks out into the courtyard) Arin, why are you awake?

A: i was about to ask you the same thing. i can´t sleep. i´m worrying about my parents too much. Since i saw them in the mergequake battle, i keep thinking about them. then i heard a loud noise from your room. L: i had a pretty violent Nightmare. The two have a short conversation about everyone noticing lloyd´s weird behavior recently L: Ok, listen. My dreams are so incredibly lively, so creepy that i can´t sleep. i have never experienced something like this before. Maybe i have them because i am the source dragon´s chosen one, but i couldn´t find any info on the source dragons anywhere, Arin. A: You´ve been through a lot. You saved all the merged realms. That would explain why your dreams turn into stressful ones L: huh. Wasn´t i supposed to be the teacher he and you the student? Arin, imitating Wu: listen my young friend: dreams can never hurt you, because they aren´t real. L: if i didn´t know better, i´d say master wu was standing in front of me here. Let´s go rest. You are completely right, there is nothing for me to be afraid of On the roof of the monastery, the glowing ghost of master wu watches down on them, as the episode cuts back to Ras and Jordana in the dojo Jordana, looking at a scroll: i can´t read a single word of this. What language is this supposed to be in these scrolls. R: it is theroxian, an ancient language that was forbidden centuries ago because those who spoke it became too powerful. J: but then how are we supposed to learn the secrets they are supposed to hold? R: Patience. As my master has taught me, true power needs time. A cloud of smoke appears before them J: What is happening? is this a trap? R: No. It is simply another one of my recruits The silhouette of a person appears out of the smoke as the episode cuts to Kreel´s Junkyard Kreel to Arin and Sora: as you can see, my security bots are no help at all (two of the security bots turn on a gramophone and start dancing to it) And the dogs don´t even bark! I was told they were extremely aggressive(Arin and Sora remark on hoe peaceful the dogs are) Whoever broke in here found a way to do it without being noticed (upon Arin asking what was stolen) that´s the thing! nothing. Sora: could it be that, just thinking out loud, if the alert wasn´t triggered, the dogs don´t give you any sign and nothing is missing, it could be that nobody broke in here at all? K: of course someone was in here! When i get here in the morning, things aren´t just lying around randomly! (an old car crashes down behind her) Arin: isn´t this what it always looks like around here? K: *gasps* i have a very personal system of organizing which nobody understands but me. trust me, someone broke in here and went through all my stuff. A: who knows, maybe this place is haunted by the night-ghost. It visits shops because they don´t take back items he bought.

S: is that another one of "clever george"´s stories? that guy only talks about made up nonsense A: yeah, when i said it out loud, i realised how ridiculous it sounded K: these break ins are only happening because i am ascending to the upper class S: i´m sorry, upper class? K: i´ve upgraded my junkyard´s range of products. there´s more than just mech parts here now: i´m selling antique weapons, ancient weapons and rare treasures. i´m making a lot more money with this, i can tell you. Anyways, i´ve heard that my shop isn´t the only one that has to deal with this. So i hope you can find this intruder. What´s the point in being best friends with two ninja if you can´t count on them once in a while. A and S in unison: Best friends!? K: of course. Since you´ve joined the ninja, that we´re the best friends of all time and that we still know each other from the mech races back in the day. A: You were our opponent S: Yeah and cause our mech to explode K: this fun little anecdote imediatly reminds of before - SELFIE! Say "Kreel´s Junkyard"(she takes out her phone and takes a picture with the three of them) oh, my hat is looking good. that picture´s definitely getting more likes than that lobbo pun video i posted. The video cuts to another video by clever george George: The two new ninja were recently seen on Kreel´s junkyard - was it a visit out of friendship? or were they following the trail of the night-ghost? SUBSCRIBE! (the video zooms out again, showing Sora watching it on the big screen, while Arin and Riyu play catch in the background) Arin: Why are you watching that? you said yourself, that he makes all that up. Sora: his theory that a ghost visits shops because they don´t want to give him a refund is absurd. What is scaring me is the fact that Kreel was right: There really were more break ins. and the clever george is wrong: none of the break ins happened in shops - they were all places that sell antiquities. Like Kreel´s Junkyard. A: was nothing stolen there either? S: Not yet. My guess is that someone is looking for a very specific ancient artifact. But who? any why this mysteriously and cunning? A: should we tell the others? S: No. it might just be completely harmless. and it looks like Loyd needs rest anyway. But you, me and Riyu could go on a little trip. They go to the crossraods, where they talk to multiple vendors without success, always hearing the same story of an unidentified person breaking in without triggering any alerts and not stealing anything. However, Riyu leads them to a new lead: a newly opened store for ancient artifacts. The two of them take up position on a nearby roof, with Riyu hiding in a nearby trashcan. S: the last time you hid Riyu inside a garbage can, he was found, captured and brought to an evil, dragon-draining empress. A: yup, that`s what happened. What are the chances of something like that happening twice? (an old woman comes towards the store, dragging a garbage bag behind her.)

S: is she the night-ghost? A: if she is, she does not fit the standard villain criteria. (the woman opens the trashcan and spots Riyu eating trash inside it) Old Woman: people throw whole healthy dragons away nowadays. Truly shameful. (she closes the lid and walks off) S: what do we do, if the night-ghost actually shows up? Antique stores don´t sell any modern tech i could use my powers on. A: at least you have powers. S: Arin, you can do spinjitzu, i don´t. A: a very shaky form of it. but no matter how hard i train, i don´t get any better. And you know my object spinjitzu? i still don´t know how i do that. (on the ground, the mysterious person from before appears, once again in a cloud of smoke and runs towards the entrance of the store.) S: what did LLoyd tell us? no ninja´s journey is like another. So far, my missing ability to do spinjitzu hasn´t been a problem either. A: but i should be able to do it much better. When i find my parents, they should be proud of how i turned out. (the two spot the figure at the door of the store) hey, where did that guy come from? S: to get in there, he´ll definitely have to break open the door. (the person turns into smoke, slipping through the crack of the door into the store.) A: is he the elemental master of smoke? In the monastery, lloyd awakens from another nightmare. he meets mister frohicky, who tells him that Arin and Sora have gone to observe something in the crossroads and are planning on cleaning up tomorrow. Cut back to the crossroads, where the stranger materialises in the middle of the road, now holding a large mallet Cinder: Finally. A: don´t move! (the two ninja and Riyu block the road to both sides of him) C: Ah, the ninja. I was warned that you would be waiting for me - someday. S: you are outnumbered, surrender! C: did you think i came here alone? (two wolf mask warriors drop down behind him) S: No idea what you want with that thing, but you and your masked friends are probably not the drumming club. C: You don´t know me little one. maybe drumming is totally my thing. He attacks and the two sides fight for a while. during the battle, Cinder telly his subordinates to bring the mallet to lord ras, shocking arin and sora. Cinder is about to escape, when suddenly beams of green energy fly towards him. Lloyd drops in on a rooftop. Lloyd: you´re having a party and didn´t invite me? i am insulted. However, upon seeing the wolf masks, Lloyd is transprted into another vision, once again seeing the moon and warriors rise from the ground. However, he also sees a strange gong being struck by the mallet, currently held by Cinder. In the real world, the latter orders his warriors to get away, throwing a sort of smoke bomb at the ninja, which knocks them out.

L: it is no dream, it´s real. it´s all real. The blood moon is coming! the blood moon is coming! Back at the shadow dojo, Cinder carries the mallet to Ras, past an army of wolf warriors. C: i have finally found it, my lord. R: and now, our dark journey can begin. Are you ready? prepare to feel a power, like you have never experienced before. Ras then strikes the gong, which causes the runes on the rocks surrounding the dojo, as well at the masks of the wolf warriors to start glowing blue

And that was the episode. pretty sure you can find the video online by now. my original plan was to do both of the episodes that aired today today, however this has taken longer than anticipated, so the next one of these is coming tomorrow.
