Video game ratings boards tend to frown on depictions of harm to children, particularly very young children; basically, if you explode a baby, you’re probably not going to get that E10 rating.
However, a number of published games have managed to explode babies without suffering a ratings bump by making it a giant baby – more specifically, a giant baby boss fight.
This suggests that once a baby is large enough, it no longer counts as a baby, at least not for ratings purposes. Are there specific rules governing this? Do they have to measure the baby? Or are giant babies, like pornography, an I’ll-know-it-when-I-see-it proposition?
Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin
(AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)
It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
Dick paused almost mid-jump, having apparently turned to the wrong channel but also changed to the perfect one too. At least, perfect in the fact that he had just overheard an interesting thing from Jason, apparently forgetting that his comm was in fact on still.
Damian must have answered, because Jason snorted a laugh. “You can try getting him to leave, he’s taken over my bathtub and keeps eating all my food.”
Hold up, was- Dick had thought Jason was talking about a plush or something, but was he talking about a literal living animal seal??
“I’ll have you know I’m not going to make a poor little baby seal leave, and I’m not putting him in a zoo, brat.”
Oh Gotham, it was a real living animal seal. Dick about faced, rushing towards Jason’s safehouse. How did he get a seal? Why was it in his bathtub?? Why hadn’t he called the proper people for this sort of thing?! He had to get to the safehouse now to see this shit.
Deb: *Emits a double-click as she gets home* "Mochi! C'mere, girl!"
Mochi: *Makes a "Prrbt?" and perks up her antennas, then grins as she see her friend* "Ooo-min freeen!" *Approaches Deb in her full form, then lies down*
Deb: "Hi, sweetheart!" *Gives Mochi a little kiss on top of her head, then sits down next to her*
Mochi: *Giggles and flashes a big grin as her antennas wiggle, then puts her big ol' head on Deb's lap* "Freeeen!"
Deb: *Gives Mochi a little scritch behind her antennas, then uses her other hand to scritch her chin*
Mochi: *Lets out affectionate squeaks as her eight legs start kicking in some sort of swim-motion*
Deb: *Pets her friend for awhile, then moves to get up and go inside* "C'mon, Mochi! Let's go in!" *Enters the house*
Mochi: "Okayyy!" *Gets up and goes into her shadow form, following Deb inside*
had a nightmare I was showing off a first draft of a creative writing project to some friends and they kept commenting , with growing frustration, that it was pretty similar to Bluey
Get comfy, little guy—you’ll be there for a while! Did you know that a giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) can spend the first year of its life on its mother’s back? This mostly solitary species, which can be found in Central and South America, roams a large territory: Each individual inhabits an area of up to 22,200 acres (9,000 hectares). Fortunately for mother anteaters, piggyback rides end before babies are fully grown. An adult giant anteater can weigh up to 85 lbs (39 kg)!
