Just learned about a Harambe movie coming out.
If Minions and Barbie have taught me anything about theatrical release viewing attire, this can only end in expensive fines and banishment from the movie establishments.

HOLY SHIT Y'ALL Megamind is literally a retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac. It is so obvious. I am so stupid. I can't believe I didn't notice this until now. I even thought about a week ago that it was a cute touch they had named the female lead Roxanne! 😫
But yeah so there's this guy who's crazy smart and bold and stylish and good at flair and Presentation! but he lacks the confidence to court the girl of his dreams, whose name is Roxan(n)e, because she's made it known that she's with his rival. Also he has a disproportionately large facial feature!
Instead of fessing up he disguises his appearance so he can woo Roxan(n)e with his voice and words and intellect, pretending to be a new suitor. He doesn't confess his deception until Roxan(n)e figures it out herself and confronts him, and he dies at the end of the story in one final, tragic display of daring and panache.
And then someone looked at that and asked the obvious question "Yes but what if he was also an alien mad scientist supervillain with a minion who's a fish in a mechanical gorilla suit?"

Me, sending Thalassa another ask after a long tumblr absence? It's more likely than you think ;)
My request this time is more Shen x Reader...but through the Henchwolves' POV
Gimme that minion gossip 😆
It's benn a Goddamn Minute since I wrote anything for the murderbird, please accept this humble offering my friend! This is set loosely within Shen's hostile takeover of his family's palace, just pretend it's taking a few months longer for Po and the Furious Five to arrive.
Lord Shen x Reader (Henchwolves POV)
Sooo...the boss’s in looovvveee…
Ok well it’s more like Shen is speed-cycling through every emotion under the sun, like some kind of cursed knife throwing merry-go-round.
From an outside perspective that part is no different to how he normally is, really, potato tomato.
But ever since YOU entered the picture, he’s been swinging between regality and rage like it’s going out of fashion.
This would normally be time for the wolves to about-face and shamelessly hide behind the hired muscle of the rhino and gorilla guards, but between your bemused reactions and the Soothsayers amused snorts they have front row seats to China’s cheesiest love story and they’re not missing ANY of the drama.
Don’t forget, the wolves have followed Shen for nearly two decades by now – they know him. His ins and outs, his twitches and grandiose gestures. The way his right eyelid twitches when he can’t feel the knives in his sleeves.
They’re not familiar with the way his elegant steps stumble when you surprise him. Or how he loses his train of thought and sputters when you question his judgement. Or how he seems to fight the noble training of several years to fidget with his robes before posing just so to meet with you.
Guards from both the throne room and the gardens noticed his tail sweeping and twitching when talking to you, and in their experience, Shen’s tail is a dead giveaway for his flintstrike temper and at the time they were 99% certain he was about to stick a knife in your back and call it a day…
...until he presented you with a custom ordered gift and his overwrought nerves had his tail nearly leap into it’s classic fan as he awkwardly swallowed a squawk into a cough, trying to pretend this was a spur of the moment thing rather something he'd agonized over in private for five days.
At guard change they all but barged into the guardroom mess, hollering and sniggering.
“Shen’s PRESENTING!”
Chaos ensues. Bets are taken, at least one table is broken. One poor bastard ends up tossed from a fifth story window. He's probably fine.
It’s all boss wolf can do not to roll his eyes.
In contrast to the rest of the henchman – he operates much closer to Shen in a day to day capacity. So HE’s the poor bugger having to endure Shen’s erratic mumbling as the neurotic bird pores over battle plans, supply chains, letters and negotiations from nobility and powerful individuals to bribe. All that, he can deal with.
...What he can’t deal with is the way Shen’s eyes will glaze over mid mumble and suddenly he’s got an earful of spoiled royal lamenting how 50 reams of china’s finest silks isn’t even close enough to a satisfactory nest and How is he supposed to curry your favour if you only have 25 colours to choose from???
Fucking. BIRDS and their obsession with shiny shit.
Meanwhile, the Soothsayer is very much enjoying watching Shen work himself into a knot over whether or not he should ask her for a love life prediction.
It’s just a waiting game before he cracks. And she’s more than happy to trip him up and poke fun in the meantime, catching your eye from the background and winking as she eats his sashes and pulls fake prophesies out of her ass.
(She approves of you, don’t worry, and she lowkey is happy for Shen to have found someone as wonderful as you, but also: you deserve better and her lingering fondness for Shen as his former nanny doesn’t blind her to that.)
Hope you enjoyed these headcannons friend!

When you think of enemies from Super Mario Bros. 2, who comes to mind? Personally, one of the first that comes to MY mind are those weird birds that you find as early as World 1. The borderline flightless ones that were colored red, white and black in the original, but weirdly got some purple coloring in the All-Stars remake — the ones who weirdly barely appeared again. You know,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Name: Pidgit
Debut: Super Mario Bros. 2/ Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic
Did I actually trick anyone into thinking today’s enemy would be sweet old Tweeter? I don’t know if Tweeter is well-known enough to get that kind of anticipation!
Regardless, Pidgit’s a weird enemy, to be certain! Of course, one could say almost all Super Mario Bros. 2 enemies are weird, but “flightless crow riding on a carpet” is a bit more weird than enemies like “walking bomb”, “walking cactus”, and “bird that drops walking bomb”.
And that’s right: despite its name, Pidgit is a crow, which is not a pigeon at all! It is actually more wrong to name Pidgit after a pigeon than it is to name a gorilla enemy with some sort of hare-related pun in mind. And that’s science!
However, even its original Japanese name is just a portmanteau of “dodo” and “Rodrigues solitaire”, both of which are pigeons…this is Pidgit’s Trick.
This guy’s an oddball, one that didn’t debut in a Mario game and has had very few reappearances since, but has left an inescapable impact since. Before that, though, let’s cherish the reappearances it HAS had!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pidgit’s first reappearance is a weird one—instead of riding a magic carpet, it finds itself being blasted out of Turtle Cannons in Fall as the Pidgit Bill! Super Mario World sure seems pretty fond of Super Mario Bros. 2, and this might be one of its most blatant callbacks. Funnily enough, in the SNES version only horizontally-moving Bullet Bills get replaced, which seems fine until you realize Super Mario World also introduces vertically- and diagonally-inclined Bullet Bills. Woopsie!
Pidgit Bills appear in the ending of Super Princess Peach, too, congratulating the player! That’s cute.
Tumblr media
Pidgit’s next appearance would be another weird one. Wario’s Woods has it be one of Wario’s goons, replacing the fairy when Wario appears on the upper right screen to drop only bombs. Remember when Wario was a villain who could have minions? Yeah. Pidgit can fly here without a carpet at all, no foolin’! Is this part of the spell Wario put over his Woods? Is this why Pidgits fight for him? I don’t know! I think they just forgot.
Tumblr media
They wouldn’t reappear until Partners in Time, and wow! This might actually be their only in-game reappearance where they actually ride their carpets! Which reminds me, do Pidgits make their own carpets, or do they get them from somewhere, or…?
I’ve never had nor played this game so I don’t know exactly how they act, but what I do know is that in the American version, they’re stronger and more likely to drop loot than any other version! That’s fun.
Do you remember 12 paragraphs ago, when you still had your youth and I said we’d get back to how Pidgit left an inescapable impact on the franchise? Well, that time is now, and that inescapable impact is the Lakitu!
Tumblr media
“But Weirdma Rio Enemies dot Tumblr dot Com!,” you cry. “Lakitu debuted in Super Mario Bros., before Doki Doki Panic and thus long before Super Mario Bros. 2 was even conceived!” And on that, you’re right. But let’s look at an attribute unique to Pidgit!
You see, Pidgit rides a magic carpet, yes, but when it’s picked up, the player can ride the carpet themselves temporarily — after a certain amount of time, though, the carpet starts flashing before disappearing completely. Sound familiar?
Tumblr media
Sounds a lot like Lakitu’s Cloud, if you ask me! While Lakitus have been riding their fair-weather friends since 1985, we weren’t privy to that same experience till long after Super Mario Bros. 2, in a little game called…Super Mario World! In a game which already has Pidgit, is it truly at all absurd to say it would have just one more reference to it?
So remember, in every game where you can ride a truculent terrapin’s silly cirrus, be sure to thank your local Pidgit!
…man, too bad we couldn’t segue into at least something about Tweeter, huh? First they were bought out by a rich muskrat, now this. Is there anything Tweeterheads get to look forward to?
Tumblr media
the answer is ME!!!!!!
Hi!! I’m Mod Tweeter, and today’s post was written by none other than moi! It’s a real tweat and an honour to join the cast of Oddball Red-Cloaked-Daisy Critters, and I hope you will all enjoy my writings about more sillybeasts in the future!
For now, let’s close this post with a smooth songbird’s swingin’ serenade…

In a unified chaos assault, are the various factions protected from each others aoe effects? Most notably, does everyone in the chaos army have to worry about diseas from the one quarter
Because chaos gifts/blessings are derived from the same ultimate source, being immersed in the blessings of one god will offer you a measure of increased general resilience towards all chaos-born effects. This is only truly effective when you're around people who are at or under your "level" of ambient chaos corruption/mutation/blessing.
Using your disease analogy as an example, let's say you have some basic Nurglite chaos troops who are infested with some sort of warp affliction. Equivalent chaos troops from any other faction could and would be able to work in proximity to them and be largely fine, because their acclimation to warp phenomena would be about the same. If you took, say, a Nurglite lord, however, and put him near those same troops, it's likely they wouldn't be able to hang around him for very long. This is also why a lot of extremely blessed chaos units and individuals tend to rub shoulders with other elite units and choice underlings; unless they're predisposed to control/mindfulness, you really can't be around them much. Most people in a chaos faction will never reach a point of meaningful status because it's just passively bad for your lifespan to be there. S'also why a lot of the choice slaves/minions of the important chaos guys are mutated/altered themselves; you adapt or you die.
All of this only applies to ambient "AoE", mind you. If a Nurglite group want to drop a disease bomb, or the Tzeentchians want to detonate a warp rift, you just do your best to not be near it and hope your god/s like you enough to not let you get dissolved. They'll kill you. They'll kill your guys. They'll kill their guys, if necessary. Chaos are really not adverse to enjoying the benefits of betrayal and friendly fire. Just because they work together doesn't mean they like, trust or want to help each other. It's like herding irradiated cats that are the size of gorillas.

Animals in Good Omens (for potential symbolism reasons)
Direct, plot-relevant appearances:
Nightingales (Obvious)
Snakes (Crowley!)
Geckos (Children in disguise)
Lions (Adam and Eve’s first threat and first kill; also seems to appear on Aziraphale's ring)
Oxen (Devoured by Aziraphale; strong of constitution)
Goats (Blameless)
Crows (Disguised goats)
Hounds (Hellhound; transformed by loyalty)
Unicorns (the Great Flood; a precious thing lost to God's wrath)
Flies (Beelzebub's animal and the shape of the vessel that Gabriel puts his memory in)
Mentions that feel like they may or may not be plot-relevant:
Dinosaurs (Mentioned at the beginning of the series as fossils that God planted as a "joke")
Horses (Mentioned in the book and at the Globe; multiple statues in the shop, including the one where Crowley puts his glasses)
Ducks (Crowley and Aziraphale feed them, and Crowley in particular shows concern for their well-being; they're what water slides off)
Whales (God mentions them specifically and they also appear in Crowley's drunken ramble)
Gorillas (Mentioned in Crowley's drunken ramble and mentioned again with Banana Fish Gorilla Shoelace With A Dash of Nutmeg)
Fish (Banana Fish Gorilla Shoelace With A Dash of Nutmeg, plus the raining fish during Armageddon and Greasy Johnson's tropical fish in the book)
Rats (Crowley's little minions in the S1 outtakes; creatures Crowley is masquerading as an exterminator of, but with whom he is actually collaborating; this is a cool parallel to humanity even though the final footage wasn't in the main show)
Storks (Shax's animal, as seen on her armor)
Stag (Furfur's animal, as seen on his armor)
Frogs (Hastur's animal)
Lizards (Ligur's animal)
Owls (Referenced in the title of the minisode "A Companion to Owls")
Thanks to @kayleefansposts for adding the storks, stags, frogs, lizards, owls, and flies!
Animals that don't appear plot-relevant on the surface but I may be wrong:
Swans (Seen in the 1862 scene, but not referred to by the characters. Thanks @ao3cassandraic!)
Dolphins (Also mentioned in Crowley's ramble, but don't reappear anywhere, I don't think)
Rabbits (Aziraphale's magic show; also referred to obscurely in the beginning of S2 by Aziraphale saying the humans will "breed like...well, like humans")
Doves (Accidentally killed by Aziraphale, then resurrected in the show by Aziraphale and in the book by Crowley)
Ginger Cat (Dog likes to antagonize in a gentle way)
Ostriches ("Did you teach the ostrich to run, Job?")
The bird that sharpens its beak on the mountain (Crowley's drunken ramble)
Hedgehogs (The one Crowley doesn't manage to hit in the book)
Geese ("Big cross ducks")
Donkeys (The Dirty Donkey, right across from Aziraphale's bookshop)
Aardvarks ("What else would I be, an aardvark?!" Thanks @carbonarak!)

The next time someone say's "When did kid's cartoons get so woke and political?", I might suggest that you might point them in the direction of, of all things, "Yogi's Gang".
Yogi's Gang was a series from 1973 which was one of Hanna Barbera's "All Stars" series where ALL their major talking animal characters were part of an ensemble team. (There are others, "Yogi's Treasure Hunt", "Yogi's Laff-a-Lympics" etc etc).
So we had@
Atom Ant
Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy
The Hillbilly Bears
Hokey Wolf and Ding-A-Ling Wolf
Huckleberry Hound
Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har
Magilla Gorilla
Peter Potamus and So-So
Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks
Punkin' Puss & Mushmouse
Quick Draw McGraw & Baba Looey
Ricochet Rabbit & Droop-a-Long
Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole
Snagglepuss
Snooper and Blabber
Squiddly Diddly
Touché Turtle and Dum Dum
Wally Gator
Yakky Doodle
Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo Bear
All on a quest to help the world from their flying ark (I have no idea why).
Their villains are embodiments of various flaws and vices, at a level which Captain Planet would have found a bit... on the nose
Their first one is perhaps the most "slapped with a wet fish across the face" level of subtlety, but you have to admire the studio for gifting the world:
Doctor Bigot
youtube
As you see, he lives up to his name (along with the minions Professors' Haggling and Bickering), and he plans to sow strife by making everyone more aware, and resentful, of differences... pretty much because he's an absolute asshole.
Other villains include: The Greedy Genie, the Envy Brothers, Lotta Litter and "Smokestack" Smog.... like I said, low key it ain't.
But given that it's now a half century old, it's nice to be able to point to something and just say to those who ask the question posed at the top of the post: "Well, there are probably earlier examples, but this is one of the first and most blatant, don't you think?" :)

Idk about yall but illuminations make the cutest fucking models ever. In fucking existence.
I’ve actually mainly only watched 2 different types of movies they made (minions and despicable me are the same series and then sing)
You guys can’t tell me the minion models (ESPECIALLY THE MAIN THREE KEVIN, STEWART AND BOB) aren’t fucking adorable. Idc how many Facebook moms use them for HORRIBLE memes but god DAMN IT.
Tumblr media
Also gru as a child. Coke on. His model + his voice is fucking adorable. And I hate kids.
Tumblr media
Need I say anything? Buster, Porsha, johnny, Rosita, ash, gunter and hell even crawly are cute (the best being buster porsha and Rosita)
I hate porcupines, pigs, koalas and gorillas looks. Hate them. But illuminations has the ability to make these things I HATE into something adorable af.
Now thinking of it I think illuminations made me like gorillas and koalas looks (especially baby koalas omfg). I always say koalas are like the pugs of the tree dwellers, so ugly that they’re cute.
I used to think koalas second thumb looked weird but growing up is realizing koalas and their silly hands are fucking cute‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Also Nooshy. I just love lynx.

I don't discuss it all that often, but I have a fondness for Mario; unlike stuff like Sonic or Megaman, though, I don't think I had any coherent AU ideas ("coherent" doing a lot of heavy lifting there). Time to fix that.
The basic conceit is "another adaptation the likes of which Nintendo would never sign off on today", influenced by SMB '93 (note Mario's, Luigi's, and Daisy's outfits) with some "The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach" thrown in (Haru's presence, the basis for the Toads).
Notes below:
Mario: the hero, as per usual. Worked as a freelance plumber alongside his brother Luigi in New Donk City until circumstances brought the two and Pauline to the Mushroom Kingdom. A jovial, compassionate guy who is also way too good at combat acrobatics for someone who claims that he was "just" a plumber.
Luigi: the lancer. As shaken as he is by this sudden turn of events, Luigi is doing his best to face everything head-on; unlike Mario, he prefers outmaneuvering his enemies over fighting them directly. Boyfriend of Pauline.
Peach: the runaway royal. Peach heads to the Metro Kingdom to try and get away from her wicked aunt, Queen Lena, only to dive right back into the Mushroom Kingdom to set things right. She attempts to pass herself off as a civilian to the Mario Bros., with limited success.
Prince Haru: the other runaway royal. After failing to reel in his mother Lena, Haru tracks down Peach and accidentally blows her cover. He's a skilled diplomat, but too fragile to provide anything out on the field except buffs. Takes a shine to Mario after the plumber rescues him from Bowser's forces.
Toadette: a Mushroomian and Peach's best buddy. She joins up with the heroes not long after they arrive in the Mushroom Kingdom, helping them to navigate the place after they (sans Haru) end up on Queen Lena's "wanted" list.
Daisy: the last descendant of the long-gone Sarasaland royal family. Daisy works as an archaeologist; her findings place her in Bowser's crosshairs, though he swiftly comes to regret sending minions after a woman who can punch Koopas into next week. Infatuated with Peach.
Pauline: a down-on-her-luck singer who was rooming with the Mario Bros. Just when it seemed like things couldn't get worse, this gorilla in a jaunty tie grabs her and legs it out of the Metro Kingdom--though not to kidnap her, as it turns out. Pauline is still a bit sore about that, though.
Yoshi: a member of the self-named species; this Yoshi may or may not be one of the Yoshis that the Mario Bros. faintly recall being surrounded by as very young children. He's on the runty side and thus too small for anyone but Toadette to ride, but he helps out where he can.
--
Other stuff:
As you might've noticed, I'm not going with the canon pairings here, because I like making things harder on myself doing things different. This AU concept has Mario/Haru, Peach/Daisy, and Luigi/Pauline.
Haru's design changed a lot between OVA and AU; my main concern was figuring out a colour palette that worked. The skirt was influenced by some art of CrystalCrowned. Story-wise, Haru's no longer the prince of the Flower Kingdom (especially not when Wonder introduced its own take), nor betrothed to Peach.
Peach's mother here was a nun, Sister Hildy; the King outlived her by about ten years before succumbing to illness. The Mushroom Kingdom's weird succession laws allowed Lena to take the throne before Peach or Haru.
Yes, that's Lena from SMB '93.
I like modern Yoshi well enough, but trying to figure out how their sphere-snouts work is an exercise best left to someone else. This Yoshi is based on older artwork.

Can you do a quirk based on like summoning a Mandrill minion? Sort of similar to Rody Soul but with more combat capabilities?
Maybe not a mandrill specifically, but I can do something about making an ape minion.
I see it working as an Emitter type Quirk that allows the user to spawn out four minions from their body that resemble red gorillas with some monkey features like a tail. The apes are far more physically able, being notably faster, stronger, and tougher, as well as being good climbers. The greatest feature of this Quirk is the user's mental link with their minions, maintainable over medium ranges. Not only can this let the user hear, see, and speak through their minions, but let the apes apply some of their mental faculties. This lets the apes act more independently and strategically than other minions, making them seem far more intelligent. This gives the user a good combat tool, able to overwhelm others with their greater numbers and tactics. They can scout an area, tank attacks for others, outmaneuver foes with greater tactics, have minions carry them around, or simply have their minions go ape on someone. This Quirk is still dependent on the user's mental link, requiring them to be emotionally and mentally stable to maintain control. The user is still open to being attacked without their minions, and losing out on one of their apes can be costly, taking several hours for the user to regain it. A possible name for the Quirk could be "Prime Mates" or "Gorilla Troop".

I love how at the climax of the Megamind movie (defeating Titan), everyone's facade has been torn down, and they are the truest version of themselves.
Megamind no longer uses the disguise generator and has dropped the bad boy act.
Roxanne's in her pajamas.
Minion is without his gorilla suit when he's tossed in the water.
Metroman is in a robe.
Titan's powers are extracted and he's just Hal.

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. 
Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday.
It is illegal to be drunk in a UK pub.
We forget 80% of what we learn every day.
HP Printer black ink is more expensive than human blood.
Strawberries actually contain more vitamin C than oranges.
60% of the alcohol in America is drunk by 10% of the people.
American plumbers refer to the day after Thanksgiving as Brown Friday.
In 2021, the investor community on Reddit adopted 3,500 gorillas in a week.
By 2050, 3.3% of the world’s population will be millionaires (in US dollars.)
In general, the more time you spend with someone, the more you will like them.
Rats emit ultrasonic squeaks of happiness when they get to hang out with another rat.
A cyberchondriac is someone who scours the internet looking for details of their illnesses.
The presence of CCTV cameras increases the fear of crime but doesn’t reduce crime rates.
Not one but two cross-country skiers suffered from a frozen penis during a recent world cup race.
If you keep going North, you will eventually go South, but if you keep going East, you will never go West.
Coffee drunk from a white mug tastes more intense and less sweet than coffee drunk from a clear mug.
Stomach rumblings are caused by air moving through your digestive tract and doesn’t always mean you are hungry.
AI can guess your age, location, gender and income with up to 85% accuracy by analysing your social media posts.
A sophomaniac is a person who’s under the delusion that they are extremely intelligent.  Too many of them about!
Memorizing the lyrics to songs can help strengthen your brain and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.  Do more karaoke!
King Harold didn't die at the battle of Hastings from an arrow in the eye, he was hacked apart by four Norman knights.
Listening to loud music interferes with your vision.  This is why we usually turn the car radio down when looking for somewhere to park.
Negaholics are people who become addicted to self-doubt and negativity.  They find the bad in most things and are hardly ever satisfied.
The directors of ‘Despicable Me’ actually wrote a language for the gibberish the minions speak throughout the film.  Each word has a meaning!

The first BBC radio presenter with a Northern accent was hired in the second world war to make it harder for the Germans to produce fake news bulletins.
The peanut is not a nut, it is actually a legume.  A legume refers to any plant from the Fabaceae family that would include its leaves, stems and pods.
It’s a myth that you only use 10% of your brain.  Most of your brain is active almost all of the time.  The problem is: some people don’t have much in there!
An American on the national average salary would have to work for 21,000 years before they became a billionaire, assuming that they spent none of their money.
A Crook County, Wyoming, judge has dismissed property destruction charges against a pair of ranchers accused of bleaching penis shapes and other markings on their neighbour’s cows.
In 2011, a 25-year-old Spanish man sued his parents for refusing to give him money unless he tried to find a job.  The court denied his claim and ordered him to leave his parents’ house and find a job.
The Sound of Music was so popular in South Korea when it was first released that one cinema owner decided to shorten the film by cutting all the musical pieces from it so they could show it more often.
In 1962, Brendon Grimshaw purchased Moyenne Island in the Seychelles for £8000.  He planted 16,000 trees on the island, brought and bred giant tortoises, and introduced a variety of bird life.  He was the sole inhabitant of the island until his death in 2012.  Instead of selling it, he declared the island a national park.
‘Malleus Maleficarum’, a 15th century witch-hunting manual, described how witches kept ‘live’ wriggling penises as pets.  The witches were said to have kept the penises in nests in trees and to have fed them oats.  Written by Catholic clergyman Heinrich Kramer, ‘Malleus Maleficarum’ is of course today regarded as misogynistic nonsense.  However, centuries ago, such books would have resulted in the gruesome murders of women accused of being witches.
Okay, that’s enough information for one day.  Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday!  I love you all.
