You piss poor excuse for anything that breathes. We are all counting the days until you take your last breath. Robert Mueller is a better man even in death than your pathetic azz will ever be alive.

"The entire planet is counting down to the single most satisfying obituary ever written. Because he is, was, and forever will be an irredeemable piece of shit." "~HOODLUM

Rest now Mr. Robert Mueller. Well done, good and faithful servant. Everything didn't go the way you meant for it to go but you did your best. Rest can now take your rest.

Grand, Power, And Silver Stars Lore

So as I established in a previous post, the Stars from Mario Party are Super Stars. Super Stars are not the same thing as Power Stars. This is because Power Stars can provide energy and give the user the ability to wield Star Magic. While Super Stars grant invincibility or Super Strength.

So as seen in Super Mario 64 DS and Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, collecting 5 Silver Stars will result in all 5 stars combining to make a Power Star. This is because the Power Star was likely broken up into pieces, something we see can be done with other stars such as the Cobalt Star.

Power Stars themselves are created when a Luma transforms into one at a certain point. Lumas overall seem to become everything, from Star Spirits to Power-Ups. Showing just how much power and influence the Stars have in the Mario world. This also make sense because Power-Ups overall, in particularly Super Stars show signs they are sentient.

Also, as established at the beginning of Super Mario Galaxy, Grand Stars are the result of combining several Power Stars together. "The Toads brought the shooting stars to the castle, where they became the great Power Star.".....

Also, something else that is important is we know for a fact Power Stars and Power Moons are the same thing just in different shapes. Shine Sprites and Cat Shines are also likely the same thing in a different shape as well. I have also hypothesized that Super Stars similarly to Power Stars, can also come in different shapes as well.

So yeah, that is Silver, Power, and Grand Stars in a nutshell. Written by Eris the Lorekeeper

Never forget

The night of the killing I happened across Ridgeway, the platoon sergeant, talking effusively about the day's events. I told him I had killed an NVA that afternoon. He grinned and asked me how it felt [...] He kept on grinning. And suddenly I felt I had to get away from Ridgeway. There was something nauseating in talking of a dead man as quarry or game. Because I was the only one who counted in the interplay, not the man I killed. [...] 

I wasn't in the mood for combat talk. I had just killed a man. He hadn't. I had gloated over my kill. I smelled. I turned black inside - that look Dad always hated when he scolded me for 'sulking,' and I told him I was going to 'catch some z's" which is Army talk for sleeping. But [Ridgeway] caught the tone of my voice and looked at me like "lifers" look at "draftees" - like I couldn't really be trusted. I walked away. 

But many years from now when I'm in New York toiling in an office, there will always be back here in Asia a tiny unmarked grave bearing the body of the man I killed. He saw me but for a danger-filled instant, before the lights went out and darkness shut his lids. Who is there to mourn for him? I don't feel guilty as much as amazed. I think that if I had talked to him first, had heard and seen his expression, fingered a scruple of his humanity, I never could have killed him without remorse. Words would have damned me; and yet looking down at the hand now writing these words, I cannot really believe that I pulled the trigger. It is remote, part of a misty past through which I wandered aimlessly, harmlessly, anonymously. Perhaps for this I will be forgiven. 

No, I am only amazed because no matter how many years I put between me and it, whether I am thirty and married, forty and divorced, fifty and rich, sixty and wise, I will - from so many years ago - never never forget this grave in Asia.
