    Trials Chapter 2 By Aria Moonsinger Lion-O looked at her and his heart swelled with pride; then he pulled her towards him and held her in his embrace. “I thought I couldn't love you more than I do right now; I seem to fall in love with you more and more, you truly understand how I feel about my people and what I want for them.” then he kissed her on the lips. Jolene wrapped her arms around his neck; after the kiss, she said “I just wish there was someway I could stop doubting myself.” “There is; but you may not like it.” Lion-O said. “What way won't I like?” Jolene asked. “You could go through your own set of annointment trials to become a thundercat. Before you get too excited; you'll be facing each thundercat that you've been training with, including me.” explained Lion-O. Jolene's face grew a little pale as she said, “I would have to go up against Panthro, Cheetara and Pumyra, Lynx-O, Tygra and you? Sparing is one thing; but this would be for keeps. If I fail just one trial; there wouldn't be any point in continuing. This is the best that you could come up with?” Jolene then stood up and started to pace the floor. 'How can I go up against them? I'd have to fight my friends; people I respect and admire, plus the man I love.' Jolene stopped and looked at Lion-O; she saw love and respect in his eyes and knew that was for her, plus she knew he would go with any decision she made.

  • Masters of the Universe: Action Figures, Customization and Masculinity
    MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: ACTION FIGURES, CUSTOMIZATION AND MASCULINITY Eric Sobel A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2018 Committee: Montana Miller, Advisor Esther Clinton Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Montana Miller, Advisor This thesis places action figures, as masculinely gendered playthings and rich intertexts, into a larger context that accounts for increased nostalgia and hyperacceleration. Employing an ethnographic approach, I turn my attention to the under-discussed adults who comprise the fandom. I examine ways that individuals interact with action figures creatively, divorced from children’s play, to produce subjective experiences, negotiate the inherently consumeristic nature of their fandom, and process the gender codes and social stigma associated with classic toylines. Toy customizers, for example, act as folk artists who value authenticity, but for many, mimicking mass-produced objects is a sign of one’s skill, as seen by those working in a style inspired by Masters of the Universe figures. However, while creativity is found in delicately manipulating familiar forms, the inherent toxic masculinity of the original action figures is explored to a degree that far exceeds that of the mass-produced toys of the 1980s. Collectors similarly complicate the use of action figures, as playfully created displays act as frames where fetishization is permissible. I argue that the fetishization of action figures is a stabilizing response to ever-changing trends, yet simultaneously operates within the complex web of intertexts of which action figures are invariably tied. To highlight the action figure’s evolving role in corporate hands, I examine retro-style Reaction figures as metacultural objects that evoke Star Wars figures of the late 1970s but, unlike Star Wars toys, discourage creativity, communicating through the familiar signs of pop culture to push the figure into a mental realm where official stories are narrowly interpreted.

  • Curse of Sekh by Clare Chapter 3 Cheetara and Tygra Wasted No Time in Getting Back to Cats' Lair After Hearing the Unicorn Keep
    Curse of Sekh By Clare Chapter 3 Cheetara and Tygra wasted no time in getting back to Cats' Lair after hearing the Unicorn Keepers' story. The moment the two Thundercats were safely inside their fortress, Tygra switched on the telescreens so they would have more chance of spotting an enemy before it could attack. Not that this was a foolproof security system - Mumm-Ra had been known to trick his way in by using his ability to disguise himself - but it had often provided the Thundercats with early warnings of attack. Next, with the screen showing no signs of movement on the plains outside (although how long that would last with what Mumm-Ra and the Mutants were planning was anybody's guess) he switched on the transmittor and prepared to contact the other Thundercats. "Have you managed to warn everyone?" he asked, even though he did not doubt his fellows for a moment. Even so, it was a relief to him when Panthro's voice came through via the communicator installed on the Thundertank, assuring him that he and Wilykat had and were already on their way back to Cats' Lair. "Message acknowledged, Panthro," Tygra replied. "Lion-O has your group fulfilled its part of the mission?" "Affirmitive, Tygra," Lion-O's voice replied. "The Tuskas and the Snowmen say they'll be watching out for any signs of trouble. I only hope it'll be enough to deal with whatever Mumm- Ra's planning," he added as an afterthought. Tygra paused when he heard the young Lord's words; what Lion-O had said was exactly what he, Tygra, was thinking.

  • The Poetry Lounge 3: the Power of Performance Study Guide & Lesson
    THE POETRY LOUNGE 3: THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE STUDY GUIDE & LESSON PLAN To order this and other programs call: (888) 570-5400; (310) 839-1500 www.epfmedia.com © 2018 EPF Media All Rights Reserved THE POETRY LOUNGE 3: THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE Spoken Word poetry is a contemporary form of performance that has revitalized young people’s appreciation of the poetic form. Spoken Word can be distinguished from more traditional poetry the way a play can be distinguished from a novel, in that it is written specifically to be performed. Where a traditional poem is often purposefully obscure and is intended for multiple re-readings, spoken word poets have only one chance to communicate their meanings to the audience. Like plays, spoken word poetry is designed to elicit an immediate and visceral audience reaction. Because of this a lot of power must be packed into the poem. The following guide is designed to be used interactively with the Poetry Lounge DVDs. For each poet, we have included material that can help you point out salient features of the poet’s craft to student along with teaching ideas that can be used as prompts to help students in their writing and performance of spoken word poetry. In some cases the power of the poetry comes from the artist’s performance. Just like the skill of an actor can make a play powerful, how the poet performs his/her poetry often has a great deal of impact on how the audience responds. “The Power of Performance” is designed to help students explore how they can use aspects of performance to enhance their poetry.

At that moment, Sho entered the dining area of the Tower of Omens and made a bee-line to the plate that Snarf had left for him. "Well, there's one," Panthro chuckled as he took a sip. "Pretty much on time, too. Not bad for a human. Looks like he's getting used to it." They turned away as the young man devoured his small breakfast in record time and attacked the cup of coffee. "I'll be outside," Sho said after he finished. "Thank you for breakfast." "Don't worry about it," Snarf said as he collected Sho's dish. "I just wish Lion-O would get out of bed, already. His food's getting cold, Shnarrf." "And I wonder why *he's* sleeping so late," Tygra said knowingly as he finished his coffee. "You noticed, too?" "Who didn't" Tygra replied with a wink. "Took long enough, didn't it?" "Yeah," Panthro replied. "And I'm glad for it. He's grown up a lot these past weeks." "True, but I wish it were under different circumstances." "Same here." Panthro said as he drained his cup. "But, who knows how long this would have taken otherwise?" "Cheetara sure seemed eager," Tygra began, "and Lion-O looked ready to learn. I'd be surprised it they woke up by noon." Bengali and Pumyra entered then, hands joined and identical smiles on their faces.

  • Requiem for a Leader by Spaced Angel Part Six up Close, The
    Requiem for a Leader By Spaced Angel Part Six Up close, the situation at the Wollo village looked more desperate than seen from the safety of the Lair’s viewscreen. Several huts lay in ruins, their roofs collapsed inwards, taking the upper parts of the walls down with them. The Wollos had scattered, dropping everything in their haste to escape. It had been market day and the stalls now stood abandoned, their wares dashed to the floor in the wake of their terrified owners. It was a ghost village, inhabited only by drifting smoke and the four Mutants, who stood laughing at the devastation they had caused and pocketing valuables lost by the fleeing villagers. "Accursed Mutants," Panthro growled. Beside him, Tygra dragged his eyes away from the ruined village to glance over at his fellow Thundercat. "They are as they have ever been," he reminded him. Panthro nodded. "They've always been a thorn in our side, granted. But that was before they killed Lion-O. Now they're a menace." Tygra considered the deeper meaning behind the panther's words. "What do you suggest?" "If you don't know, then you've no right to carry that sword, real or not." "And you know why we can't." Panthro glared at him. "Speak for yourself!" The Thundertank lurched forward as he stamped his foot down on the accelerator. With a roar like an enraged beast, it tore up the ground and hurtled towards the Mutants. To their credit, they stood firm for a long time before it dawned on them that Panthro had no intention of stopping.

  • Response to This Article About the Hasbro/Discovery Hub Shift In
    Response to this article about the Hasbro/Discovery Hub shift in power...which turned into another my long-winded, thoughtful rants: http://online.wsj.com/articles/discovery-to-take-control-of-the-hub-network- 1410979842 Well, that's...somewhat shocking. From what I can tell, the Hasbro/Discovery partnership in The Hub has been an amazing success. I watch the channel almost every day. Most of its programming is--and has been, for the past 3.5 years--excellent. From the original series (FiM, Pound Puppies, Strawberry Shortcake, LPS, Dan Vs., Aquabats Super Show, Family Game Night, Care Bears, Transformers, Haunting Hour), to all the other wonderful shows/sitcoms (oh my goodness!! Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Goosebumps, Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Step By Step, Who's the Boss, Family Ties, The Facts of Life, Sister, Sister, Sabrina, Atomic Betty, etc.), to the extremely well-chosen family movies (I loved it when they aired the Homeward Bound films, All Dogs Go to Heaven 2...today I saw Spaceballs...and they've just made so many other great movie picks every season.) They've been an outstanding example of listening to your viewers and giving them what they want. Even their misfires and middle-of-the-road shows are more than bearable (SheZow, animated Sabrina, Teenage Fairytale Dropouts, Kid President, Parents Just Don't Understand, and such.) If Hasbro were to grow dissatisfied with controlling six hours of its toy-based cartoons daily on Hub (which seems like a fair deal they've cut, tbh), and moved them over to Cartoon Network or Disney...well, at least the shows would still continue on, and be a MASSIVE boon to either of those channels.
