scopOphilic_micromessaging_791 - scopOphilic1997 presents a new micro-messaging series: small, subtle, and often unintentional messages we send and receive verbally and non-verbally.
Despite Cynder, Hex, and Zook's best efforts, they were unable to stop Hurrikazam, who retreated to his Cloud Citadel. Afterwards Morbo revealed that the undead villagers who were taken by Hurrikazam were turned back into living breathing creatures by a weather machine. The Skylanders infiltrated Hurrikazam's citadel by allowing themselves to be taken captive by Gargantulas that were associated with Morbo. Upon seeing the Undead Energy Extractor, the machine that turned the undead back into the living, the Skylanders were discovered and they fought against Brock and his group of Drow. It was soon revealed that Hurrikazam wasn't evil; he was forced to commit the evil deeds by Kaos, who threatened to cut Hurrikazam's Amazing, Fantastic, Incredible, Surprising, Unfathomable, All-Coloured Rose should he refuse to do as the evil Portal Master commanded. Kaos revealed that he was draining the undead villagers of their undeadliness to store it up in a tank of Undead energy and shower every island of Skylands with undead rain to turn the living into undead and destroy the other Elements.
This is part 4 of a 4-part series. I would do the specials, but the only new characters that are introduced in them are the villains, so I feel like it would get pretty repetitive. An explanation of the SHC system by @wisteria-lodge can be found here.
Sunset: Badger Lion
Sunset's goal for this movie is helping Twilight, since Twilight has PTSD after turning into a demon in Friendship Games. Twilight's the friend who needs Sunset the most, so she's mostly focused on her.
She shows her Lion secondary by being very blunt when she's talking to Flash. She tells him to get over his crush on Princess Twilight, since she spends most of her time in Equestria.
She also has a Snake secondary model, which she's never had before. Sunset lies to Timber about why she and Twilight were in the woods in the middle of the night, and she lies to Flash about missing an earring, too. Her Snake secondary model dissapears after this movie.
Timber: Badger Bird
Timber's a Badger primary without a group (besides his sister). He's not burned, but he is really desperate for friends. Unlike Gloriosa, he wants to get away from the camp, to live in a town like everyone else. He's scared of people leaving him, because almost everyone in his life leaves him eventually.
Timber's Bird secondary is primarily to make him a good love interest for Twilight - he talks with her about how the scientific name for sapphires is sapphirus, the Latin word for blue.
Gloriosa: Double Badger
Gloriosa struggles with the Double Badger problem of overworking herself. Everything that she does is to make her campers happy, and she shows a mixture of Courier Badger and Bookeeper Badger.
Her Double Badger is incredibly obvious. The existence of the camp gift, where campers work together to build a gift for future campers, is really Double Badger-y. She pretends that there's going to be future campers, even though the camp is on the edge of bankruptcy. She emphasizes multiple times that anyone can come to her if they need anything.
She deals with the fact that her camp is about to go bankrupt by pretending that it isn't, at least around other people. She wants to make their week at camp the best week ever. It's self-imposed toxic positivity.
The pressure of helping everyone gets to her. She's very stressed, since she won't let anyone else help her. When she becomes a villian, it's well-intentioned. She wants to help her camp by gaining enough power to do so, since she believes that she has to do everything alone. She says multiple times that she wants to protect the campers. The camp is saved by contacting people who have come to the camp in the past, and setting up a fundraiser for the camp.
She shows a slight snake secondary model, since she lies about the camp fashion show being a camp tradition when they've never done it before.

Summary: Loki’s first full year on Earth has drawn to a close, and all he wants for Yule—or Christmas, since humans seem obsessed with it in his part of the world—is for Thor and Jane Foster to stop pretending they aren’t head over heels for each other and just kiss. But when Jane invites Thor to spend the day with her in London, where she’s currently living, Thor panics and begs Loki to come with.
Who should he run into there but Stephen Strange? Who obviously Loki is not going to get into a conversation with. At least not a long one. Okay, well, he’s not going to go for a walk with Strange. Ugh, not a long walk. Fine, but they’re not going to get a drink!
Okay, you know what? Maybe just one drink. It’s a good thing Strange isn’t attracted to men…
Thank you to my betas, @mareebird and AsgardianHarmony!
Chapter 7, Drinks, is posted!
“Actually, I can. As soon as you told me, I knew you’d be great at it.” When Loki raised his eyebrows, Strange quirked one of his and took another sip. “Are you?”
With a shrug, Loki said, “I guess I am.”
“Oh come on. Don’t do the false modesty thing.”
Loki laughed a little. The bourbon was starting to get into his bloodstream. He felt a bit warmer, a bit looser. “Doesn’t suit me?”
“Nulla si crea, nulla si distrugge, tutto si trasforma” enunciò alla fine del Settecento Lavoisier nella legge della conservazione della massa. Io quella cosa lì l’avevo sperimentata sulla mia pelle un paio di secoli prima.
