Random question from anyone don’t care - who you trying to get hold off…

My… my….

Buck

He’s my …..

have ideas about Spider (and through thinking the Na’vi as well), it’s probably not the direction that Cameron is going to go but hear me out.

I spy a little traditional Japanese house in that panel. For a better view:

The significance of the house is that, one of my favorites, @psychomurderz stated that Midoriya family might have lived in a traditional Japanese house similar to the Todorokis.

(chapter 96) this panel shows the shoji doors and Inko Midoriya sitting on tatami floors, which are not part of the apartment in Mustafu.

Well, at the time, we thought this was Organa.

And at the time, it probably was intended.

But with the Prequels and the Clone Wars-- we know damn well that Organa never served in the front.

...

But Anakin did.

Does anybody love N e r g i g a n t e as much as I do? I bet not! So let’s talk about the E a t e r   o f   E l d e r s. 

At the end of I c e b o r n e, it was posited to be a naturally occurring force that b a l a n c e s discrepancies in the ecosystem, especially when these issues occur as a result of other Elder Dragons. Whether enabled by the intelligence that Elder Dragons are both feared and respected for or by instinct, it hounded Z o r a h   M a g d a r o s as the E l d e r   C r o s s i n g unfolded and it turned out that if Zorah had reached its destination, its bioenergy would have been devoured by X e n o ’ J i i v a, which is another force that could have threatened ecological balance. 

And you know what? I think this mother fucker could have killed Zorah if the Commission didn’t interfere. Not for certain but considering the way the R u i n e r form took out S h a r a   I s h v a l d a ( targeting the head directly and as immediately as possible ), the same tactics could have enabled it to eventually kill the massive dragon as well. This could be evidence that it is acutely aware of how to hunt abnormal Elder Dragons and that’s besides being gifted with highly sophisticated genetic engineering. 

If you’ve ever hunted Nergigante in World and bothered to take the time to examine it, you’ll find that its spines have patterns in them. They are segmented and the likeliest reason for that is that they are designed to break. Nergigante throws its body around a   l o t. Its most dangerous attack involves flying into the air and s l a m m i n g into the ground, impaling targets with its spines, crushing them under the mercurial forces or consuming them in explosions that send spines flying in several directions. The fact that its spikes are segmented actually allows them to diffuse some of the force, protecting Nergigante from damaging itself when it throws its heft around the way it does. 

Did you know motorcycle helmets are segmented as well so that they break when they hit something and diffuse the energy, thereby taking some of the impact away from your head? Yeah, Nergi has that shit in his spines. 

But of course, he falls short when placed in opposition to the r e a l monsters, the B l a c k   D r a g o n s. The ones that herald the apocalypse. Or . . . does he? 

In the case of R u i n e r   N e r g i g a n t e, it gains the ability to sprout m e t a l l i c spikes. If the sharpness of your weapon doesn’t measure up, your attacks will bounce off. You can mitigate this growth by staying aggressive but if you don’t and you allow it to grow it all out . . . it starts to look downright a p o c a l y p t i c itself. 

Wonder why the Monster Hunter team would have Nergigante take on an appearance that is reminiscent of the black dragons in the lore if not to hint that it will at least s t a n d   a   c h a n c e of restoring the balance regardless of what the threat is. With the exception of F a t a l i s maybe, considering how it can melt  metal with its breath. But then again, would Nergigante’s instincts even tell it to attack Fatalis? Fatalis itself has also been a corrective force so it’s worth questioning. 

Because it’s fun to speculate.

Semifinal 1: *Armenia or Finland opens the show. *San Marino or Moldova goes second. *Russia goes 5th, 6th, or 7th, to be followed by the first break. *Hungary or Armenia comes on immediately after the break. *Azerbaijan, Cyprus, or Iceland closes the show. Semifinal 2: *Belarus or Ireland opens the show. *Poland or Switzerland goes second. *Australia and Latvia probably bookend the break. *Romania or Ukraine closes the show.

And Regina wakes up, as if fresh from a peaceful sleep, sits up and bewilderingly looks around at everyone crying and smiling. Emma & Henry are kneeling beside her, and she looks at her son’s other mother and says, “Emma…”
