we are your hosts sams reich. only one of us has been here the whole time. the rest of us were hatched like eggs during the course of the show. yes that's right. tiny little bearded men hatchlings.

“Please, Marty, do go on, I’m fascinated to find out how you’ve come to this conclusion, because I certainly haven’t noticed any clones running around the flat lately.” Martyn sighs and leans against the wardrobe. “Not clones, don’t be stupid. Just - you. And not you. But still you, just - I dunno, different? Really different. Can’t-just-be-mood-swings different.” The half-smile on Oli’s lips subsides. “You’re serious?”

i don’t know who needs to hear this today but apostrophes DO NOT PLURALISE THINGS. IT'S CAKES NOT CAKE'S. IT'S THE FREDRICKSONS NOT THE FREDRKCKSON'S. apostrophes are for possessives, except "its", because apostrophes are also for making contractions (it is = it's)

this page explains it all super well with LOTS of examples, i highly recommend

#my professor mom came up to me like ''i dont know if you've seen this trend...'' of people using apostrophes to pluralise #and do not get me wrong: language is constantly changing and evolving and i 110% we should let it #and also those without english as a first language find grammar rules like this challenging and that's so valid #but also like: yougins there's a reason we have grammar rules #shut up cj

Guys can we talk more about that pre gen Ninjago 2023 concept. Having the old elementals as the main cast.

What if the show starts off with Krux and Acronix from the present of the original Ninjago, and they’ve just time travelled to before they were even villains and are just quirky nemeses of the main cast (quirky nod to the original show). Also the serpentine wars are probably also going to be mentioned.

The main cast is

- Garmadon: generally a bossy sassy guy who’s always grumpy bc of the venom and tends to be the leader since he’s the oldest. Despite it all he’s got some social skills and is generally well liked for his power. Currently on the side of good bc the venom hasn’t yet taken over. Has powers of destruction and dark energy.

- wu: Garmadon’s worried younger brother who is just trying to make sure Garmadon doesn’t destroy too much stuff. He’s genuine but also genuinely worse at fitting in with the group bc he’s more introverted (I’m riding off the fact that he decided to write Misako a confession letter instead of talking to her, not even after she didn’t get it). His fighting style relies more on technique than magics ability and it’s still ambiguous whether he has similar powers to Garmadon.

- Ray: didn’t realise he was a fire elemental and comes from a long line of blacksmithing. However when villains attacked his village he decided to become a samurai and defend it. Realises his elemental power throughout the series and learns to control it with the help of Maya. Can seem carefree and laidback and a bit of a joker but can also be incredibly stubborn and determined when he gets into it. Also wu and ray are bffs

- Maya: comes from a long line of water elementals and was trained to be a warrior elemental for most of her life. Hence she has a strict way of doing things and everything she does has to be perfect. She feels great responsibility in being the water elemental as it’s an important and sacred element. She’ll probably have an arc at some point where she learns to be messy and doesn’t have to be perfect all the time, and Ray will probably help her be more relaxed or emotional. She’s usually pretty cool headed but uptight. She’s enthusiastic about training and being organised and can be a bit critical when people don’t take it as seriously as her

(There’s not as much things to go off with these other characters so forgive me if everything else is vague)

- lightning: probably a small town girl who just happened to discover her elemental power but had no idea what to do with it. Maybe she was inspired inspired by the group to become a fighter and is generally pretty new to everything. She’s very bubbly and energetic and extremely talkative and is key on keeping the group together in hard times. However she’s also one of the more self indulgent members, and the one most likely to complain about doing super hard training. Despite that it would be cute if her character arc was about her growing into her powers and leading a more purposeful life, like she learns that she wants to fight bc she cares and not just bc she doesn’t know what to do with her powers. Also the thing with Cliff Gordon is like a celebrity crush running gag which then develops into a “Gordon gets damselled a lot and lightning has to save him” running gag bc I think that would be a cute and kinda silly romance dynamic idk

- earth: (Cole’s grandad) he’s a bit older than the other characters (only in an appearance sense to the spinjitzu bros) and he’s a travelling warrior. He was probably a hugely powerful potential ally that it was important for Garmadon and wu to recruit against the villains. I can imagine him seeming like the stern type but is actually just a dad guy yknow. Like he’s secretly a huge softie who hopes to start a family one day. I can see him and lightning having a mentor apprentice relationship yknow. He’s also got that leader esque vibe that I think it would be interesting if at a crucial point in the story he disagrees with one of Garmadon’s plans and kinda challenges his authority and it causes friction within the group. Also I just checked the wiki and apparently he was also manipulated by Chen and hypnotised by hypnobrai to betray the other elementals so that checks out.

- ice: again a bit older than everyone else but he’s kinda mysterious. Hes a renowned wandering warrior who shows up to save random villages from monsters before disappearing without a trace. Bc of this people are both in awe and suspicious of him. He actually comes to the spinjitzu brothers before they attempt to recruit him because he sees visions of the future and bestows them prophecies and is like “and you’re gonna need my help”. He’s cool like that and probably instigates main plot threads with his visions. This does mean he has room for a “don’t shoot the messenger” arc. But you could do many cool things with him and his future vision. Like he looks cool but is secretly in constant existential crises, which will also link into the general time and back in time them with this show being a pre gen and technically the audience also has future visions. And also the spinjitzu brothers are also operating on prophecies

Over all I love them and I want to draw now haha.

#slime rancher #jokes #yes it’s a fruit I was suprised too #technically it’s a catagorry of fruit but pluralising doesn’t work as good for puns in my opinion

6, 7, 29?

6. do you use a watch?

-nope!

7. what animal do you look forward to seeing when visiting an aquarium?

-this is so tough. i love aquaria, and seeing all sorts of aquatic creatures. and nc has a LOT of really cool aquaria. i went to one on the coast last summer and they had a very pretty albino alligator!

29. preferred pasta noodle?

-very tough. i love a thin spaghetti. angel hair noodles with pesto are sooo good. also love rotini. if it has a noodle, i love it. (for non-pasta noodles, i have loved moroccan couscous my whole life. so good)

#asks #deeppurplebeauty #thanks!! #also hot take that the plural of aquarium should be aquaria. like millennia and phenomena and bacteria etc #the -um to -a pluralisation thing

Haunted Dale question! Do you think the ghost(s) can sense Dale's unease in himself, and are feeding off that? Would his house be less haunted if he was more content and less unhappy?

omg thank you for asking and letting me think about haunted dale <3 yeah, 100% that's the idea i've been working with! the way i see it, dale's attempts to close himself off, to repress, to mask and be the model newsreader man is the exact thing the ghosts consider a vulnerability and as their way in. like he's so distracted with other stuff that his brain hasn't got a chance of warding off a ghost's attack. and of course any ghost seeing the stuff in his head would have some very juicy haunting material to work with.

#all this to say - i think if rob lived in that house instead of dale then the ghosts would have been so bored bc he's not a tasty treat #also i keep pluralising ghosts but tbh i don't even know what the 'entity' is let alone if there's multiples #i love a mystery tho so i'll likely just go with the flow and explain none of the particulars #answered

adjective is gonna be the death of me

#i havent. really had to do plural adjectives yet. but i am trying to make grammar notes for my own reference #and i cannot. remember. how pluralising adjectives work #maybe i should have started with tenses at least that's nice and straight forward. but no. i was like let's go straight for idafa/adjectives #العربية #through gritted teeth i like this language i like it i love doing this i am not going to be defeated by adjectives #listening to a four hour compilation of so called epic zelda music in an attempt to force myself to get through this. is it working. well i #blinked and it's been like an hour. lost track of time entirely

Just came across that post of you sqying you watched Yu Ming is Ainm Dom and god I think every Irish school child has watched that film over the years and yeah its a crucial experience lol and good luck learning irish because the lack of set grammar rules is painful. You will never know hos to pluralise words

i read about it being used in school exams & stuff lol. it makes sense, i think it’s a very unique film experience that everyone should have. and thank you! i hope one day i’ll get the language down, but i don’t mind having to struggle. i think every language has its impossibilities.

#like pshhh who needs to pluralise anyway? #asks #irish #gaeilge
