What’s up with the fairly recent trend of leap years all being bad fucking years like 2008? Shit. 2012? Fucking shit. 2016? Absolute fucking shit. I’m just gonna predict 2020 is gonna be the Most Absolute Stinky Piece of Shit year to date
reuters reports that trump will have inhaled approximately 2 million flags before the end of his presidency. this shatters the previous record left by ronald reagan of 3463 flags consumed.
No to Termina as I’ve answered in an ask a few… minutes? An hour ago? It was today and it was recent but yeh, no headcanons on Termina I’m afraid!
Now, the Realm of the Ocean King and Koholint island however… I got plans for both! I was gonna wait a bit until I thought more about the idea since I hadn’t sat down and brainstormed anything yet, but I may as well throw what I got off the top of my head thus far:
-The Realm of the Ocean King and Koholint Island will exist as both one kingdom and on the same plane of existence.
-My idea is that the Great Sea will exist in the same plane as the other kingdoms as vast expansive sea, in which legends say it is the sea of the gods and is never-ending. Those who try sailing it are either forced to turn back by an unseen, unknown force or, if they are too stubborn and try to continue on, will be lost to the sea forever. However, there are tales and legends which say that the sea does end, that it is stopped by a huge wall of water that leads into an ocean in the sky. This acts as a portal that will lead to the floating oceans of The Realm of the Ocean King (otherwise known as simply The Ocean Kingdom OR maybe even The Land of Dragons?)
-This kingdom is probably the most elusive and hardest to get to, so much so that many believe it to simply be a legend. In line of my thinking of this AU as if it were an actual Zelda game, I think this would lend very well to Tetra in my headcanon and her seemingly unattainable dream to sail and actually see the fabled oceanic kingdom in the sky. Like the main mission being Link and crew having to go to every kingdom and Tetra would be your way to this one, and so on. owo
-There will be at least 4 main races that inhabit The Ocean Kingdom. Still very much in development and subject to tweaks and changes, but what I have thus far are:
Parella: A primarily aquatic race who have the unique ability to float in the air, due to the air-sacks they harbor. The often live in the shallower straits that connect the vast seas to smaller bodies of water within the realm’s islands.
Watarara: A race of peoples who largely inhabit the islands scattered throughout The Ocean Kingdom. The Watarara are human-like and greatly resemble Hylians, though their pointed ears are way shorter. A characteristic that completely separates them from Hylians, though, is their wings. The Watarara are unique in that, upon their backs, are elaborate, tattoo-like markings that are in the shape of stylized wings. These markings allow the Watarara to call forth a pair of wings of which they use to fly at will.
Kulu: A race of aquatic peoples who inhabit the deep dark depths of The Ocean Kingdom. They’re characterized by having the face and torso of a human, but the tail of a fish in place of legs. They are essentially mermaids, however they are much larger in size, typically reaching about the average size of a great white shark. The Kulu occasionally take trips to the plane Hyrule exists in to explore their oceans and see the strange inhabitants of the realm. Its through brief sightings of them that has started the legend of the “fishmen”, no relation to the Zora that is.
The forth race I’ve yet to decide because I really wanna flesh these out first, especially the Watarara. Trying to decide for sure if their wings can be called upon to make a reference to The Wind Waker’s version of Rito, or if they’re a permanent feature they can’t call forth and such. Hmmm….
But yeh! That’s what I have so far! owo

Anonymous asked: what's so great about the mummy 1999?
it is the most wonderfully made, historically inaccurate, giddily fun, perfectly paced, goofy horror movie romance novel bullshit bonanza that has ever blessed the silver screen.
i mean it is just so beautifully full of every genre without being overwhelming. we’ve got: comedy, action, suspense, horror, romance, adventure, ancient aesthetics, and it’s a period piece. all perfectly balanced and blended into one movie.
and the characters are so LIT
we got our main babe, evelyn “motherfucking” carnahan, a super-klutz librarian, total history nerd, and certified badass/damsel in distress. she raises the dead on accident, because she cannot resist books, and has the guts to put that motherfucker back where he came from and literally saves the world. evie’s greatest hits:
“what is a place like me, doing in a girl like this?!”
*after totally destroying the library* “i’ve just made a bit of a mess in the library.”
“no harm ever came from reading a book.”
evelyn:*upon opening the tomb* “i’ve dreamt about this since i was a little girl.” rick: “you dream about dead guys?”
then we’ve got rick“brendan fraser” o’connell, your not-so-typical battle hardened gun slinger with a heart of gold. he seems filthy, rude, and a complete scoundrel at first, but then he turns into a literal puppy, with massive heart eyes, that worships the ground evie walks on. rick’s greatest hits:
*screams at mummy*
*screams at sand*
*screams at things that are illogical to scream at*
next is our Comedic Relief Character™, jonathan carnahan, who also rises above his trope. he’s there for the laugh sure, but is never useless. he actively helps to move the plot along and isn’t just there. he also is the farthest thing from brainless and annoying. jonathan’s greatest hits:
evelyn: “have you no respect for the dead?” jonathan: “of course i do, but sometimes i’d rather like to join them.” same.
oh and that time he was like “IMHOTEP” and saved his own ass like that was so smooth, y’all know what i’m talking about right??
then there is ardeth BAE. he is the audience rolling his eyes because *sighs* white people. he’s tired of these motherfucking mummies in this motherfucking desert. literally prettier than everyone. (he has a much bigger role in the mummy returns, but is still so fab here)
and of course THE MUMMY. imhotep. actual emo. literally carved some poetry into the back of his sarcophagus when he was buried alive with flesh eating bugs, because he is that Extra™. just wants to bring his girlfriend back to life so he can make out with her without it being treason.
now i wanna take a moment to talk about the romance. because it is so BEAUTIFUL. like usually in action movies it’s macho man undermines girl and they bone. not here. no time for that shit.
rick and evie have such a great relationship based on mutual respect and affection. they both cater to each other’s strengths and cover each other’s weaknesses. they are the literally definition of: “those two. in a fight, they’re lethal. around each other, they melt”
what else, i could literally talk about this movie all day.
the special effects have held up pretty well. the music score is GORGEOUS. the costumes are amazing. the makeup, especially for anck su namun, OH WOW. the george of the jungle era brendan fraser sign me the fuck up. rachel weisz.
so many good things.
it’s just great.
#i secretly rate every action movie from 0 to the mummy
it’s a beautiful mess of a movie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and transcends time and posterity as the alpha mummy movie, and to those who disagree i beseech you:
