Hey! WIPBB mod Ragna here! Did you get art for "Pas De Deux"? Because I have a pinch hitter who's wanting to claim your fic, but I couldn't tell. Please let me know when you can and if you didn't get art if you still want it. Thanks!

Hello! I was talking with my artist and she was sending progress shots and then it went radio silence. I updated them with post dates but never got a reach out from them. If someone wants to do art they’re welcome to, but I was mostly using the bang as motivation to get my fics done and not for art

Pitch: Muppet Lord of the Rings. Miss Piggy as Eowyn. Imagine her just throwing herself at a human man playing Aragorn. Imagine her defeating the Witch-King of Angmar by going “HI-YA!” and karate chopping him.

[starlitskvader]

Throwing herself at Aragorn

Then Kermit arrives as Faramir and she just bodily pitches Aragorn offscreen

[spartanlocke]

Aragorn is, of course, played by Viggo Mortensen reprising his role

[416lottie]

I would watch this movie.

Nancy?!

zuko rly thought the avatar was 100 years old, and he was still fully prepared to fucking kidnap him. imagine if that had actually gone down like zuko thought it would. you’re a fully-realized avatar and you’ve been hiding out for over a century and all of a sudden you get approached by this 13 year old kid who’s like “WHATS GOOD I’VE GOT NO DEPTH PERCEPTION AND I’M READY TO FIGHT GOD” 

[mzminola]

#i would simply adopt him #there’s no other choice in this situation [tags via professorsparklepants]

[spectraspecs-writes]

Nah see iroh would walk up to Aang and be like “listen, you ever had kids? humor the boy, I’ll make you some tea.” And Aang never changes so he’d be like “dope free tea this should be fun” and ends up passing wisdom on to Zuko whether he likes it or not, and doing shenanigans to make the trip to the fire nation take twice as long. At one port he escapes and finds another old man and says hey wanna prank a teen and this old dude is like hell yeah, what do I have to do? so Aang’s like imma give you some sick tattoos an zuko is like you know what let’s just bring them both but it turns out the other old dude is king bumi.

[shieldmaiden19]

Pretty soon there’s a flock of old men trailing Prince Zuko like ducklings, straight up to the Fire Nation Palace to dethrone the Fire Lord

I realize this is an animal crossing meme but as an astrophysicist I was really excited for a second that someone was finally seeing the light on how fricking difficult and a huge waste of time it would be to try to terraform Mars

remember when percy jackson turned down becoming a god in favor of making the gods claim their children before they turn 13?? percy is camp half-blood’s union representative 

[harpersstupidmind]

Zeus: yeah we can give you literally anything you want

Percy: Really? Then pay your fucking child support

[deliciousblizzardshark]

The Untamed is like:

first act: high schoolers on a magical road trip

second act: disabled veteran returns from war and family doesn’t know how to help him with his PTSD

third act: buddy cop murder mystery

[gothhabiba]

I love fanfic’s tendency to put absurdly young people in jobs that they could not possibly have until their 40s or 50s. you can tell something has been written by a 14-year-old when a main character is like, 27 and a tenured professor at Brown. some lady is a conductor at 24. god bless.

[rcmclachlan]

#in fanfic u can buy a house on coffee shop wages even if u arent an astronaut by the ancient age of 22 #w fanfic anything is possible so jot that down (x)

When you’ve got a new player join the group and you want to be as encouraging as possible:

[msburgundy-but-worser-deactivat]

mythbusters was so good because it wasn’t a killjoy show. they didn’t just say “see, it doesn’t work” and leave it there

whenever they find that the stunt doesn’t work as portrayed in the movie, they immediately ask “what would it take to make this happen?”

[disclaymore-deactivated20230920]

“we know it takes this amount of explosives to work, but what if we doubled it anyway?”

[msburgundy-but-worser-deactivat]

just guys being dudes with waaaay too much money behind it, ya love to see it

[probablybadrpgideas]

Every two days a bright green Owlbear shows up and attacks ther party unless they spend 20 minutes practicing their Elven.

[w-bunny-blog]

Lilo, why are you all wet?

[tin-pan-ali-deactivated20191216]

This is actually heartbreaking when you remember Lilo tells Stitch her parents went for a drive, and the bad weather caused them to crash.

[cubesona]

I always thought this scene was adorable

Wow thanks guy

Right in the childhood.

[amonkiras-deactivated20121224]

i never made that connection

[enkelirune]

WOW

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

YOU RUINED MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE MOVIE

[fitziggler]

[crazylogic-deactivated20200705]

I get the feeling the adults knew…

[jaaku-frost]

and now I’m wondering how in the hell Lilo came to the conclusion that there’s a peanut butter loving fish god who demands tribute or else he’ll murder your family. 

[ethereal-business-cabaret]

When massive trauma hits, some people try to find any way to make sense of what seems senseless. Find any semblance of control, of responsibility. Lilo may be blaming herself (unfairly) for her parents’ death. This was the only connection she could make, the only thing she could have had any control over, so to her it must have been her fault. If only she was a good girl. If only she did the right thing. Then maybe… It’s very very hard to lose a mindset like that even when it’s the most irrational thing, even when it hurts you, because then you’re left with nothing.

[bigmouthlass]

And when you’re six your pattern recognition skills are a work in progress. Lilo sees that type of fish one day and as it swims away it starts to rain; connection made.

[dynjay]

This movie had some of the best scenes cut out of it. 

[just-an-anxious-mess]

This is one of my favourite movies yet somehow I never saw this deleted scene…. Excuse me a second…

*The distant sound of full on ugly crying*

[nikoletapantexiii-deactivated20]

So THIS is why i know every line of this scene, my heart knew but my brain didn’t really get why I have memorized it. OMG.

[advanced-procrastination]

Why y’all got me crying about this movie 17 years later wtf

[chinloopa]

Stitch canonically has a brain that can think faster than a super computer.

This scene isn’t even fully animated and you can see that he is literally putting all of this together in real time; he analyzed her behavior and the significance of the fish in relation to the grave site. He probably understood her behavior better than she did at this moment. I don’t know why they cut this scene out, it obviously shows up in the film right before the surfing sequence - this is why Stitch changed. Not because they had some fun surfing on the beach, but because his highly intuitive brain finally put together who this little girl was, what exactly had happened to her and why she was so desperate for a friend.

Even further, I bet it suddenly clicked for him why Nani was so desperate for work that she was dragging them around all day. This is the scene where he realizes who they both are and what they’ve been through and probably relates it to his own lack of a family and need for one, as well. This is when he starts to understand the meaning of family and realizes it’s what he wants and needs, as well.

Not to mention that chronologically this theme music would have appeared here just 10 or so minutes before the heartbreaking hammock scene - drawing a direct parallel between what Lilo had already lost and what she was about to lose because of his actions. This one scene would have added such a more distinct weight to the pivotal scenes of the movie.

Damn. I hope they add some of these scenes fully animated into the 25 year anniversary release of the movie.

bring back the habits that made you happy as a child. there’s no reason you should ever have to give up harmless things that bring you joy. you don’t have to age out of having fun. finger paint. write mediocre fanfiction and questionable poetry. put chocolate chips in your waffles. sing in the bath, and while working in the yard, and while washing your hands. hammer tunelessly on a piano. spin in circles until you fall down. climb a tree. just because you’re now in charge of your life doesn’t mean you’re expected to give up on the things that make life feel worth living

[ullrs-skis]

If I could impart one thing to a young adult - it would be this. This is literally the secret to being okay your entire life.

“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone 

[berniesanderssaggyleftnut-deact]

[lystheni]

A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

[professor-maple-mod]

Pretty much.

[jaegerdelta]

here have some size comparison

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?
