Here's That Part Two I Mentioned In My Last Post! Edmund And Debora Probably Have More They Move Around

I’m just as confused as you are Shorty! The battle of the sexes angle always made me scratch my head figuratively. I mean technically it was three episodes with “Helga’s Makeover”, The Harold vs.Patty episode and “Ghost Bride”. Other than those three episodes, gender isn’t that big of an issue like it was on Jimmy Neutron for example.

This chapter of this wonderful fanfiction has Curly make a joke about it https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13297726/20/Hey-Arnold-Season-6-The-Mitigators , but I could have sworn the author mentioned something about why the intro is the way it is in one of the author’s notes. I’m positive that Craig mentioned it at one point in an interview what it was a reference to, but I can’t remember what the gosh darn reference is! All I can remember is something about Craig mentioning it was a reference to something and how he wanted to twist it around to have a more chill approach because that’s who Arnold is. I wish I could be more helpful.

Does anyone have any earthly idea why the HEY ARNOLD! opening sequence is… like That?

Crab-Solutely Fabulous Thoughts and Spoilers

You mean to tell me that tonight's episode was a wrestling one and Zeke wasn't in it?! Shaking my freaking head!

How could you betray this sweet little gremlin boy like that! You know he would have loved being in this episode. We were robbed! That being said this was still fun even if they missed the perfect opportunity of including Zeke. You just know Tina was so annoyed, in a conflicting sort of way when Louise came to her room to show Tina the research she's been doing. Girl, Tina's been hyper-fixated on marine life way before you have. So you bet your bunny ears she already knows all the sea cucumber facts. Heck, she's probably shared her hyper-fixation with you plenty of times and you just now decide to be interested while she's trying to sleep, in front of her horse posters! XD

For transparency's sake, I'm the anon. Thank you so much! I didn't expect you to do so many. I was basically expecting just Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, Shigure, and Akito if you chose to do it period. You went way above my expectations good job! This is all so awesome and the artifact choices are hilarious. (at least most of them anyway while some make me sad like Kisa's and Momji's) Part of me thinks Tom and Jerry or The Princess Bride (for the ROUS) would have been a good choice for Yuki's artifact as well but Ratatouille is just as good of a choice. While all of the chosen negations are fitting I do have one suggestion for Hatori. Since remember is already an artifact in the UU universe, I have a different suggestion. Since Hatori's partially blind I feel his negation should be unseen. You know the saying, "What is seen can't be unseen"?

Unseen negates people's ability to see things (or in Sean's case originally, just himself). Hatori's interpretation of the negation is him taking away people's ability to see the memories they choose to forget. Therefore, making it an external negation instead of a self-targeting one like Sean's was. After all his power is more like hypnotism, the memories are still there, they just can't see them anymore. This is why characters that chose to forget can't associate with the forgotten much anymore because there's still a chance for unseen to wear off based on people's opinions of the forgotten and their mind subconsciously choosing to see the memories again. Unremember it's still good, I just think unseen fits well with Hatori's partial blindness. Irony and all the jazz.

I’ve said a few times in the past that Undead Unluck was basically if Fruits Basket was a action shonen instead of a slice of life shoujo. Whether if that comparison still holds weight or not, do you think you could give some of the Fruits Basket cast some negation abilities if it’s possible please?

Not all of them of course, just the ones that you feel you can have the easiest time figuring out with. Thank you for taking the time to read this regardless.

Only a small portion of characters actually have something that resembles a power aside from the transformation abilities, so where there isn't a power, I'm going to take inspiration from their personalities, actions or character arcs

Tohru, Unaffected- negates the effects of other Negator abilities that target her

Kyo, Unhuman- negates his own humanity, turning him into a monster; because of his own interpretation of the monster as his true self, he is able to seal it away with his prayer beads, believing them to work as a sort of glamour; though he won't turn into his monster form with the seal, he can still turn into a cat when not in control of his emotions

Yuki, Unaffiliated - negates emotional connections with others; while others may want to form a connection with him, the act of trying to do so will be met with a feeling of emotional distance, as if there is some kind of mental wall preventing the connection from being made; turns into a rat with Artifact Ratatouille

Hatsuharu, Unrestrained - negates his own self-restraint, causing him to act without inhibition; because of his interpretation, this manifests as a split personality rather than a constant state of wonton violence and debauchery; turns into a cow with Artifact Raging Bull [Note: I considered Cowboy Bebop]

Kisa, Untell - negates her ability to communicate with others, resulting in her inability to speak; turns into a tiger with Artifact Life of Pi

Momiji, Unfamiliar- negates Momiji's "family;" the closer a family member is to Momiji, the more distant they will feel, manifesting in his own parents being completely unaware of his existence; the Sohma family is widespread enough that Momiji identifies them more as his community than his family, allowing them to be aware of him; turns into a rabbit with Artifact Watership Down

Hatori, Unremember - negates a target's memories; turns into a sea dragon with Artifact How to Train Your Dragon

Ayame, Unashamed - negates any sense of shame within Ayame, allowing him to act in any way that he pleases without guilt or fear of repercussions; similar to Hatsuharu's Unrestrained, but where Unrestrained forces one to act on impulse and without thought, Unashamed allows one to commit to their actions with absolute conviction; turns into a snake with Artifact Snake Eyes

Rin, Untrusting - negates her ability to trust others; this manifests as immediate disbelief in what others say or claim they will do; can be viewed as an internal-targeting version of Yuki's Unafilliated; turns into a horse with Artifact Secretariat

Hiro, Unkind - negates his own ability to be kind, causing him to be rude or mean to people; because of his youth and lack of understanding of what it means to be truly unkind, Hiro manages not to act explicitly cruel, though maturity runs the risk of corrupting his personality through his interpretation; turns into a sheep with Artifact Shaun the Sheep

Ritsu, Uncalm - negates feelings of calm in Ritsu, causing him to feel constant anxiety, fear and panic; turns into a monkey with Artifact Planet of the Apes

Kureno, Unbound - negates Kureno's bonds; because of his circumstances, this refers specifically to his loyalty to Akito, making him capable of disobeying Akito; turns into a bird with Artifact Chicken Run

Shigure, Undoubt - negates feelings of doubt towards Shigure in others, making them easier to manipulate; Rin's Untrusting makes her immune to this ability; turns into a dog with Artifact Shaggy Dog

Kagura, Unmatched - negates her ability to be matched in combat by increasing her physical strength beyond normal levels; turns into a boar with Artifact Pig in the Big City

Akito, Unquestion - negates any feelings of defiance or disloyalty that a target may have toward Akito under the condition that they are viewed as beneath Akito; in this case, as Akito is the head of the Sohma Family, this applies to all members of the Sohma Family

Hana, Unhidden - negates the ability of others to hide things from Hana, which by her interpretation manifests as the ability to read the waves emanating from a target

17. detailed research about the perfect gift + also Zekina please because I'm greedy when it comes to this ship! LOL XD

zekina + detailed research about the perfect gift 🎄

“Hey, Mrs. B?” Zeke asks, swinging off his backpack and letting it drop it to the floor. “Can I ask ya something?”

Linda smiles, still scrubbing the restaurant counter with an old dishrag.

“Aww! Of course, sweetie! Is this about my teeny Tina?”

Her smile falls briefly, eyes nearly bulging out of her head.

“Wait, this isn’t proposal talk is it? You know I love you two together, but seventeen is just too young! I always thought you’d propose after college. On a boat, maybe, or—ooh! On horseback? That would be nice!”

Zeke chuckles. Though a proposal isn’t on his agenda just yet, it’s nice to know that he’ll have Linda’s blessing when that time comes. He thinks about marriage a lot, actually. More than most teenage boyfriends do. When he has a bad day, he envisions the way Tina will smile when he finally pops the question. Sometimes, when he kisses her, he’s secretly imagining that they’re at the alter.

“Nah, it’s nothing that serious.” He assures his girlfriend’s mom. “Not yet, anyway. I’m actually in the market for…well. Do you think Tina’d like a promise ring?”

Zeke’s eyes fall to the counter, as he finishes his sentence. He doesn’t want to see Linda’s face if it turns sour. Luckily, excitement in her voice prompts him to raise his head again.

“A promise ring?” She asks, one hand flying over her heart. “How romantic! What a little gentleman you are.”

Zeke feels a brief flash of heat in his face. Something about earning approval from adults always makes him bashful, and knowing that Linda likes him feels like a gigantic win.

“Oh, I dunno about that. Just…with Christmas comin’ up and all. I thought you might like to see the one I picked out, if that’s alright with you.”

Restaurant chores forgotten, Linda props her chin in her hands as she leans forward.

“It’s more than alright!” She says. “Let’s see what you’ve got, hon.”

Zeke’s a little nervous, as he pulls up his camera roll. He’s put a lot of thought into Tina’s Christmas gift, but it’s not like he has the kind of money to get her a really nice ring. Even all the saving he’s been doing has left him with a slightly underwhelming ring selection.

“Here’s the one I found.” Zeke says, zooming in on the picture to give Linda a better look. “I thought the blue might make her eyes pop.”

He has to actively refrain from gushing. Something about the color blue makes Tina’s dark eyes shine, and that girl’s eyes are enough to make a man go weak in the knees. He’s probably biased, though. To him, everything about Tina is uniquely beautiful.

“Wow!” Linda says, examining the small blue stone in the center of the ring. “What a beaut! You picked that out yourself, huh?”

Zeke’s eyebrows knit together, a little confused by the question. Did I pick it out myself? He’s been pouring over ring catalogues for weeks, searching for the perfect fit for his girlfriend. He’s already consulted with Gene, a self proclaimed expert on bling, and he’s learned more about ring sizes in the last month than he ever planned on learning in a lifetime.

“Course I did!” He says, taken aback. “I knew I wanted this to be perfect. Tina’s…well hell, you raised her! You know how special she is.”

Any shyness from before is gone, as Linda looks between he and the ring. He thinks the world of her daughter, and that’s not something that embarrasses him. It feels natural. He watches as a small, touched smile appears on Linda’s face.

“Tina’s gonna love it, sweetie.” She says softly. “She’ll think it’s absolutely perfect.”

Pulling the phone back with a grin on his face, Zeke admires the photo for himself. There’s still two weeks left until Christmas, and he’s going to spend each of those days daydreaming about seeing his ring on Tina’s finger.

“Thanks, Mrs. B.” He says, his girl’s pretty smile on his mind. “I sure hope you’re right.”

Guess whose birthday it is!!!!!!!!! Happy birthday, my darling @theangrypomeranian !!!!!!! I made this (really) rough, short but sweet animation of the night he sang their song...

Sally, I've not known you for very long but i can just see from your writings and the times we've talked that you're an incredible, talented, sweet person. I know this isn't much, but I really wanted to do something special for you, since you yourself are a special person. I'm glad to have you in my life and be friends with you 💜🫂 never stop doing what you love, my dear.

@alittlefan Hi, I was the one that requested that for who knows how long. I did that before I convinced myself to get a tumblr account. it’s alright, I understand. Thanks for keeping it the inbox for so long. I just figured it was a silent no after awhile. Do whatever you want. I fine with or without the sketch. I appreciate you at least thought about doing it. Thank you! ^-^

Could you please draw a sketch of Jane in a dress looking the opposite direction of tux Ronaldo? P.S. It doesn't have to be colored unless you want to. Thank you for reading this post and possibly the request as well.

I’m so sorry for not having drawn this nor responding to you properly. I don’t know when or if I’ll do it. I kept this ask in storage in hopes that I’d finally motivate myself do draw this and now it’s been a good few months and you probably forgot all about it and- ugh. Sorry. Maybe one day. Idk.

Classical Pieces You've Probably Heard but Might Not Remember the Name

William Tell Overture- Rossini (Most famous part at 8:45, but why not listen to the whole thing?) I’m adding hints, at least to the ones I recognized culturally. This one is “go, horsey, go!”

Also Sprach Zarathustra- Strauss Slow, dramatic entry scene, IN SPAAACE.

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik- Mozart People running out of a fancy wedding or something. Also known as DUN, dun DUN, dun DUN dun DUN dun DUUUUN.

Symphony 94, Mvt. 2 “Surprise Symphony”- Haydn ?

Toccata and Fugue in d Minor-Bach Halloween organ!

Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2- Chopin Picture a tiny old woman playing piano in a sunlit room with lots of flower vases, about the spill the tragic secrets of her past to some timid young visitor.

Rondo alla Turca- Mozart the babysitter from The Incredibles: “Time for some COGNITIVE ENRICHMENT!”

Sinfonie de Fanfares: Rondeau- Jean-Joseph Mouret Royalty is coming. Or someone is getting married. Or royalty is getting married. Also the PBS Masterpieces theme.

The Four Seasons: Spring- Vivaldi (I just linked to the whole thing because it’s great) Again, someone is getting married, but this one is strings instead and a lot less frumpy.

Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring- Bach That one that amateur guitarists love where the notes are all up and down but all the same length. Also used in movie weddings.

O Fortuna (from Carmina Burana)- Carl Orff SONG OF DOOM. Also song of “baby on fire!” in The Incredibles.

Funeral March- Chopin ?

Orpheus in the Underworld: Infernal Galop (A.K.A. Can Can)- Offenbach Well, “aka can-can” says it all.

Pomp and Circumstance (You probably graduated to this)- Elgar Oh yes, Baaaa dun dun dun duun duuuuun… Also if you were a bandie you had to play it for 3 years before graduating to it.

Gayane: Sabre Dance- Aram Khachaturian Comically hectic productivity, a circus clown juggling while standing on a ball, or perhaps a rapidly-approaching termite infestation. Could go any way, really.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Wedding March- Mendelssohn The song movies play right AFTER they both say “I do.”

Carmen: Les Toreadors- Bizet I can’t be the only one who remembers when ‘Hey Arnold’ did this. “Bullfights and swordfights, rolling in manuuure!”

The Ride of the Valkyries- Wagner Good song for a naval battle I guess? I can only think of the mini golf course I went to as a kid with the creepy castle on Hole 18 that played this.

Für Elise- Beethoven That one every amateur piano player loves to play because the beginning is just E and E-flat over and over. Also ballet and piano recital scenes in movies.

Dance of the Hours- Ponchielli Hello mudda, hello fadda, here I am at, Camp Granada…

Rigotello: La Donna e Mobile- Verdi More than a few sophisticated movie villains (or snobby good guys) have this playing on a Victrola. Also, tell me you don’t picture Pavaroti no matter who’s actually singing.

Night on Bald Mountain- Mussorgsky ?

Romeo and Juliet: Love Theme- Tchaikovsky More movie-love, usually building up to admitting they live each other.

Entry of the Gladiators- Julius Fucik I have one word for you: CIRCUS.

Lakmé: Flower Duet- Delibes OMG ALIAS. Nadia’s spy  backstory in Film Noir!

Peer Gynt: In the Hall of the Mountain King- Greig Mischievous Tiptoeing in Movies song. Also something growing out of control, slowly at first and then quickly, and (comically) exploding.

Rodeo: Hoedown- Copland The title says it all tbh.

Peer Gynt: Morning Mood- Greig Sunrise/waking up Movie Song du jour.

New World Symphony Mov. [2][4]- Dvorak Well now I’m thinking of “An American Tail” and I’m crying…

Ave Maria (You knew this, but did you know that it was by Schubert?) Nothing to add. I’m not a music snob, really, but if you didn’t know this, YOU SHOULD.

Canon in D- Pachelbel This is the one that the pretty Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas song comes from. :-)

Add others if you want! Have fun!
