idk if cult is the right word? they are like the royal council of vampires and they make the vampire rules and make sure no one’s like letting humans find out vampires exist

MsP may also look not great, because I can't for the life of me figure out why vampy was so hellbent on consolidating onto beans rather than MsP when I think MsP would have been the easier wagon to get going given that I was screaming to protect beans. And beans even said she would have withheld her vote if it meant getting the wagon on MsP

thinking about this. i can't imagine wolves giving up a 2x strongarm though. what the heck kind of role would ms p have that would top that???
 
Yay villagers though!! As someone still getting used to the game getting a werewolf day 1 seems crazy, good omen for the rest of the game I hope

I mean, I don't want to say the c-word. Though I think that's usually a factional ability anyways.

I also don't know how strongly vampy feels about bussing, esp if her packmate wasn't here. But yeah, it would have made sense esp since she would have gotten a little bit of cred for a d1 yeet whereas MsP is just gonna be stuck in the POE for probably the entire game.

The Paw Patrol dinosaur island movie was nothing special to write home about, but it did center Marshal and a baby t-rex named Rhubarb, so the floor is significantly higher than prior entries in the series.

Mayor Humdinger is up to his usual shenanigans, with his distressingly non-verbal cat sidekicks in tow, as well as two new hired hands (including one voiced by Terry Crews, whose vocal performance lacked his usual distinctness). He gets dumped on at the end (in the most literal sense, with one of the final scenes of the movie including a load of dinosaur poop being deposited on his head by a rascally Rubble).

Star of the first Paw Patrol movie and side character in the second, Liberty, is conspicuously absent. Is she occupied elsewhere? Did the production team just forget about her introduction and addition to the team? Unclear, but her absence is felt in the sausage party that is the Paw Patrol's roster (institutional sexism effects even the puppy-based rescue services, apparently).

The emotional climax of the movie, which sees Marshal being knocked halfway down a cliffside he is attempting to scale in order to release a lake of water to stem the flow of lava that threatens to consume his friends, can't help but summon a strong sense of deja vu for pawficionados. The flashback Marshal has to his attempts to climb a military-training-style wooden wall (complete with dangling rope for him to clench between his teeth) has direct and unignorable parallels to Chase's Dark Night of the Soul in the first Paw Patrol movie, in a way that feels closer to self-plagiarism than homage. That being said, what it lacks in originality, it half makes up for with a well executed and emotional triumph of his indomitable spirit over seemingly impossible odds.

In conclusion, a 3/7 movie elevated to a 5/7 by the continued stellar writing and acting of Marshal and the presence of a baby t-rex.

Day 1 - The death of a tracker

The forest had gone completely still.

James stood between the trees, listening. He could hear them coming long before he saw them.
A smile slowly spread across his face. They had followed him.

Amateurs.
1789434907504.png



He turned, expecting to see a frightened human stumbling through the darkness. Instead, there were several figures waiting for him. For the first time, James looked uncertain.

He took one step backward. Then another.

Too late.

The attack came from all sides. James fought desperately, moving with the impossible speed of something that was never meant to be human. He tore through the trees, but there were too many of them. Every escape was blocked.

He snarled, his eyes flashing red in the darkness.

“You have no idea what you're doing.”

But they did. They had finally found a monster hiding among them.

James lunged toward the nearest figure. He never made it. Branches snapped. The ground shook beneath them. And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, everything went silent.

James lay motionless beneath the trees.

The hunt was over.

The town had gotten its first kill.

And when the truth was finally revealed, there was no mistaking what James had been hiding.

@vampyrica
Wolf Hunter (modified self-motion detector and 2x strongarm)

But somewhere beyond the trees, something else was watching.

And it had just lost one of its own.

I feel like I'd be more distressed about the entire fire crew being one (1) dalmatian that never grows up and is eternally a puppy.

I mean, there are legit police dogs, but dogs shouldn't even be able to hold a fire hose

I direct you to the youtube video linked at the bottom of my review

That said, no I think they live in a state of mass catatonia and/or delusion

My biggest issue with the Paw Patrol universe (the pawsiverse, if you will) is that seemingly all dogs have gained sapient and speech, while cats are mostly non-sapient, with the notable exceptions of Humdinger's cats (who do not have speech) and the cat pack (who do have speech). What cruel God has shaped the world so? And this isn't even mentioning animals who are clearly intelligent but are still treated as animals (chickaletta outside of that one dream sequence with the super corn, for example).
