  • 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.

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.

    ThunderCats Bio-Booster Armor Guyver One Last War to Fight Episode Eighteen: Escape By Knight Writer ---------------------------------------------------------- "Both mother and child are well," Analee said as she exited the hut into the dew-soaked morning. The newborn Wollo was currently nursing at his mother's breast as the pair lay on a hastily-made bed of furs and blankets. The birth itself had gone smoothly and without incident, despite the unusual circumstances of her having been brought here. "I understand you brought her here?" she asked of the Bolkin who stood flanked by two Maidens. "I did," Bundan replied. "She was saying some strange things as I was bringing her." "Such as?" Analee asked with a raised eyebrow. "I am not familiar with the Wollo language," Bundan explained, "beyond a few words and phrases." "If you don't mind?" "Not at all." Bundan took a deep breath, recalling all he could from Rosa's ramblings. "El Diablo... That means the demon.. and something about the ground swallowing people. I apologize, but that is all I can decipher." "Thank you," Analee said quietly. "It is enough." Dyme, she thought. "Kayla!" "Yes?" "Send word to the ThunderCats. Tell them to meet us at Salvador's village this afternoon. Bundan, will you remain?" "I have little choice," the Bolkin replied. "Until sunrise, travel is just too dangerous." "Very well." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Breakfast had gone well. As for the council session, he had no idea. The lessons concerning the Code of Thundera had been skipped. Pain, however, was quite demanding as a kick from Panthro landed against his ribs and sent him sprawling.

  • American Animated Action Teams and the Token Female
    THE MODELS OF EMPOWERED FEMININITY WE OFFER YOUNG BOYS: AMERICAN ANIMATED ACTION TEAMS AND THE TOKEN FEMALE Matthew Diebler A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS OF ARTS May 2007 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin ii ABSTRACT Jeffrey Brown, Advisor The very nature of a hero is to stand as a cultural ideal. The heroes we produce for our children are meant to function as their idealized cultural models, teaching them the positive value of specific embodied traits. This extends to gender: the gendered ideological statements made by these heroic characters promote a gendered cultural ideal. Traditionally, academics interested in female gender representation and children’s television have focused on shows targeting young girls. However, it is just as important to examine the representation of the heroic women in television shows aimed at young boys. Young boys grow into adult men and, in our patriarchal society, male expectations of women play largely into their expectations of themselves. Therefore, the heroines of series marketed at young boys represent the ideal cultural models of empowered femininity, influencing the expectations and criteria these boys will have for “strong” women as they grow into politically powerful men. With all this in mind, it then becomes important to examine these models of ideal empowered femininity. By examining the token females in American animated action/adventure team-based television series marketed toward young boys over the past 30 years (starting with Super Friends in the late 70s, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, ThunderCats, and G.I.
